"Let's go." The tall pink femme, Elita One spoke as she bolted off towards the Decepticons.
Chromia smirked. "Yes!"
The two femme's practically tore through the first wave of enemy forces. Kicking, punching, and performing complicated looking acrobatics were seen on the battlefield.
"Well? Are you just gonna stand there while we clean up this mess? We're not your Carriers y'know." Elita One said as she turned to the other Autobots.
"Of course!" Ultra Magnus exclaimed. Then the rest of the Autobots rejoined the battle.
Now filled with renewed strength, the Autobots ploughed through the Decepticons.
"Elita! Chromia! How'd you two get here?" Arcee shouted as she landed near them.
"I am afraid that this isn't a good time for catching up Arcee! Behind you!" Elita exclaimed. Arcee spun a kick straight into a Vehicon's head.
"Good reflexes." Chromia remarked.
"What can I say? I learned from the best." Arcee replied.
"That you did little sister." Chromia continued with a smile.
Knockout watched the battle from a safe distance for a moment longer.
"Elita One and Chromia eh? Swell." He muttered to himself before the groundbridge he had requested for appeared behind him.
The bodies of Vehicons and an Insecticon shell littered the forest ground.
"Well. That was a quick battle." Chromia remarked.
"Indeed." Elita replied as the two femmes walked towards the other Autobots. They didn't notice the Insecticon slowly making its way towards them, claws out and jaw opened.
"Behind you!" Smokescreen yelled as he noticed this. When he yelled the Insecticon gained speed and began running for the two femmes. The Autobots were quick, the Insecticon was faster, but Elita One proved to be the fastest. She spun around, bringing one of her legs back. For a moment, everything seemed to slow down around her*.
The Insecticon swiped at the femme's helm, but she ducked out of the way just in time. She then bent over, pushed her right arm against the Insecticon's midsection. Then she lifted her left arm up against the Insecticon's jaw. She then used the momentum that the Insecticon had built up running towards her to flip it right over her body. When the Insecticon stumbled to the ground a safe distance away, Chromia took that as an opportunity to leap over it. The blue femme spun in the air before she came crashing down onto the Insecticon with her tonfa blades unsheathed.
"Okay." Chromia announced as she casually stepped off of the dead Insecticon. "Now that that is over and done with...little sister!"
Chromia ran over to Arcee and claimed her in a tight hug.
"I am so sorry about what just happened a few minutes ago! You're not hurt to badly I hope!" Chromia exclaimed.
Arcee politely pushed away from the taller femme. "Don't worry. I'm fine. But I think that we should talk about you for a bit! You and Elita just showed up out of nowhere!" Arcee exclaimed.
"Yes. We did didn't we. Sorry for startling you." Elita apologized.
"Hold up!" Smokescreen yelled. "This is Elita One and Chromia? The legitimate Elita One and Chromia? How come they came here lookin' like 'Cons?"
"Yeah. How do we know they're not actually 'Cons in disguise?" Bulkhead continued. The alleged Elita One lifted an optic ridge.
"Decepticons in disguise as Autobots who were disguised as Decepticons?" Elita countered.
"Yes! No! Wait...yes!" Bulkhead stammered.
"I agree with Smokescreen's point as well." Ultra Magnus spoke. "This could very well be an elaborate Decepticon trick."
"Arcane and Nightfury are supposed to be some of the baddest Decepticon glitches of all time. Who's gonna say that you two aren't them?" Wheeljack demanded.
"No one!" Chromia answered. "We are them!"
The Autobots deadpanned at the blunt statement.
"Sorry, what I mean to say is that we are them because Arcane and Nightfury are characters that we created! Our alter egos if you will!" Chromia explained.
"Optimus. What do you think?" Arcee asked.
The Autobot leader looked at his soldiers then back at the two femmes.
"Well?" Optimus said. "If you are indeed them, what would they say now?"
The two femmes smiled. "Five, two hundred, alpha, numerous, fifty five, six." they announced in unison.
The tension in Optimus' frame seemed to dissipate in relief.
[Ratchet. Send a groundbridge.] Optimus called.
"Wait. Sir, excuse me. But was that all you really need to hear before letting them into our base.?" Ultra Magnus asked.
"You were right, Bulk. This is the day Smokescreen showed up all over again." Arcee muttered.
"That was the code." Elita said.
"What code?" Arcee wondered.
"The verification code Elita One and Chromia were to tell me when they returned from their mission. So they could verify that it was indeed them." Optimus continued.
"I am still completely lost." Smokescreen complained as the groundbridge appeared.
"Don't worry. We will explain." Chromia stated assuredly.
Another chapter up! See how much I love you all? I somehow manage to find the time to update this thing so often! But do you know what would make me even more happy to update?
Yes! Reviews and comments! I can not get enough of them! (Seriously, I am not getting a lot guys)
