The four younglings managed to get out of the mines before anyone else noticed them.
Orion sighed and held up the tool in his servos once again.
"Two down. Phew." Orion muttered to himself once again.
"Yep! So, onto the next one?" Chromia spoke.
"Well, we can, but can we take a break? Please?" Ariel asked. "Can we settle down and recharge here tonight?"
Orion nodded. "Yeah, I guess we can."
The moons had risen over Polyhex. The four younglings lay down beside the enlarged Foneques in the alley they arrived in and they all fell into recharge.
The tools were tucked away in Ariel's bag which lay beside her. Orion held the tracker close to his spark.
Three Cybertronian frames stood on top of one of the buildings the younglings were in between.
"The tools are in the pink femme's bag, and the tracker is being held by the red and blue one." A member of the Elite spoke.
"Okay." Another spoke as she jumped from the roof. She spun in the air before landing softly on her pedes.
She went up towards Ariel first. The femme reached towards the bag next to the recharging femme. She removed the cover of the bag and reached in. Just as she took hold of the tool and began to pull it out, Ariel's servo reached out abruptly and grabbed the unfamiliar femme's wrist.
"Howdy." Ariel spoke.
The other femme reacted quickly. She pulled her arm up fast, forcing Ariel to let go of her. However, Ariel reacted quickly too. She was able to jump up onto her pedes and took hold of her arm. She twisted it and the femme dropped the tool.
Ariel then spun around and sent the femme flying into the next building over.
The other younglings woke up abruptly from the noise.
"Wha'? Wha's happening?" Dion spoke groggily.
"Someone's trying to take the tools!" Ariel replied.
The other younglings got up slowly and looked at the femme.
She was wearing stark white armour. It fit her sleek frame nicely, and there was a dark visor covering her entire face(like Soundwave).
"Who are you?" Orion demanded. "What do you want?"
"My job." The femme replied. Her voice was altered, as if she were speaking through static.
She reached behind her and took out a long chain which she then wrapped around her right arm. At one end of the chain there was what looked like a baton that was attached. However, when the femme took hold of it with her other servo, it transformed into a scythe.
The younglings with weapons took them out and readied themselves for a battle before another femme, one still standing on top of the building, spoke.
"Wait! Wait!" She exclaimed as she too jumped from the building, landing however less gracefully than the other femme.
She stood up straight, taller than her compatriot. She too wore stark white armour, and a dark visor that only covered her optics, but her voice was still augmented.
"Who are you?" Orion demanded again.
The femme smiled and bowed to the younglings.
"I am afraid that my designation is something that I cannot disclose, however I can tell you that we are the Elite, and I am the leader." She replied.
"The Elite...what?" Dion wondered.
"We're simply the Elite." The femme replied. "You see, we were given a job that involves us acquiring those tools. So, we going to have to take them from you."
Chromia stepped forwards and aimed her tonfa blasters at the older femme.
"Over our rusting corpses!" She exclaimed.
The femme sighed. "Very well. If that's what you prefer."
Then the two femmes charged at the younglings.
The younglings jumped out of the way before they could collide, but the femme with the chain scythe threw it towards Chromia. It wrapped around her chassis and pulled her back.
Chromia yelled as she was thrown into the other building. The femme removed the chain from Chromia. She took hold of the scythe and charged towards Chromia.
Chromia jumped out of the way just in time, the scythe went right through the wall of the building.
The other femme was going through hand to hand combat with Ariel and Dion. Dion swung at her with his staff but she caught it and threw him aside. She had more trouble with Ariel however.
Ariel was able to dodge and keep up with the swift and powerful movement of the older femme.
Orion stood away from it all, not quite sure what to do. Then all of a sudden, something small and sharp pierced his shoulder.
The young mech looked up to see another femme standing on top of the building. She seemed to be shooting at him.
"Ah! Guys! There's another one on the roof of that building!" Orion shouted as he scrambled to find cover.
"Right!" Dion exclaimed as he jumped up and took hold of a ladder on the front of the building. When he reached the top he could see the femme.
Like the others, she too wore stark white armour, however it was bulkier than the others. The shoulder pads weren't even symmetrical. On one side it was larger and pointy.
The femme looked as though she was about to shoot more projectiles down at the battling forms down below, so Dion sprinted over towards her and placed his staff blade against her neck. The femme lifted her helm when she realized her predicament.
"Yeah, that's right." Dion spoke. "I've seen snipers and range weapon users like you. You're a threat from afar but when it comes to fighting up close and personal you can't do slag."
The femme turned her helm ever so slightly. Then she moved so quickly. She grabbed Dion's staff and kicked him away.
The femme held her arm out and a long blade came out. When it fully revealed itself she put her arm down and the blade seemed to disconnect and was only attached by a thick cord.
"Aw bolts." Dion cursed as the femme ran towards him.
Ariel and Chromia were still fighting the other two femmes while Orion remained hidden behind Foneques who had amazingly remained in recharge.
Orion poked at the large insect.
"Wake up Fon. C'mon buddy we need you." Orion whispered.
Foneques opened his large optics and looked around. He took in the sights and the battle around him. Then he got up and roared at the other femmes.
They looked at him in shock and jumped out of the way when he came running towards them.
Chromia, Ariel, and Orion jumped onto Foneques' back as he began to ascend. They also managed to pick up Dion before they went all the up and away from the attacking femmes.
So, the Elite!
