HL: yay! Third chapter.
Disclaimer: same as the last 2
A few weeks went by, still no word from the Predacons or Megatron for that matter of fact. Jag was making her rounds with Cheetor again as the two walked to the ravine they looked down, seeing nothing but darkness, "The ravine is too deep anyway, they couldn't possibly climb back up." Cheetor said starting to walk away as Jag stood there for a few minutes, but then followed him as they walked into the jungle, Cheetor turned into his robot form then laid on his back. Jag sat next to him playing with a flower, the femme was unusually quiet, and never really talked much to him or the others, most of the time it was just Andy or Tigertron. She talked to him sometimes, but she seemed really quiet around the others, not as open to him either, "Jag, I know you've only been with the group a few weeks now, but why are you so quiet near me and the others besides Andy and Tigertron?" He asked as her head turned to look at him, she then looked away sighing, "Jag?" "I just do, I don't know." She said going to stand, but he grabbed her wrist holding her there.
Jag turned her hazel optics to face him as he looked at her, "What's up? Something has to be up and you're not going to beat around the bush." He said as Jag narrowed her eyes at him then ripped her wrist away, "It's none of your business Cheetor!" she snapped at him standing turning into her Beast mode then took off. Cheetor sighed standing up turning into his Beast mode also taking off after her, if he let her go alone on herself, he'd get yelled at mostly by the others, but Optimus would make him go find her. He eventually found her laying down in some tall grass, he walked over to her, she lifted her head and looked at him, then put her head back down on her paws, Cheetor laid next to her, "I only talk to Andy and Tigertron, because I also lost a friend to a battle, just like them," Jag said quietly as Cheetor looked at her, "it was awhile ago…but, I still remember it. I couldn't really do much, I got there to late, and it was the same with my mother and father. I guess I just felt a connection with Tigertron when I first met him, I don't know though. My parents were killed when I was just a young one, Andy was there, I remember she was the one who picked me up in her mouth to get me out of there as fast as she could, that was the last time I ever saw my parents. My friend though, I couldn't make it in time, I was helping another friend of mine, but…before I could get to the other one, she had fallen from a cliff."
Cheetor looked at her again seeing the pain in her eyes, he got closer to her and nuzzled her. (A/N: If they don't, pretend they do heh) Jag sighed then heard a snicker come from behind them making her jump, "Having fun?" Andy asked seeing the two look at her with wide eyes, "No, we weren't doing anything." Cheetor said standing up as Andy smirked, "Well, Optimus is waiting for you two to go back to base, let's go." Cheetor and Jag walked back with her. The three walked into the base seeing the other Maximals occupying themselves with various things, Cheetor nudged Jag, she got the hint and the two snuck away into his room.
Jag and Cheetor sat on the floor in their robot forms both sitting in silence, if the others weren't occupied they'd probably notice the silence and think that they were busy occupying themselves. The two were abnormally quiet, but Jag had her head on Cheetor's chest plate, who could possibly blame them for being quiet, "I used to have siblings, but I don't know what exactly happened to them, I don't remember much after Andy took me then I was sent in a pod here." "I don't remember either, but Optimus has been like a father to me, then again, I am the youngest in the group, along with you." Cheetor said as the doors opened to reveal a very scared looking Andromeda, "We have Predacon movement. We need the two of you, NOW!" Cheetor and Jag got up and ran after their other teammates.
As they got closer to the signal, they noticed the Predacons standing there; in front stood a figure with one red eye and the other was purple. This baffled the Maximals since the only ones that had red eyes were Xena and Megatron had the purple eyes, "Well, so now I finally meet the ones who killed my parents." Parents? They stared as the femme stepped into the light of the sun, she was tall, had sharp nails, and looked deadly as all raptors and T-Rexes did. Jag looked at Optimus, who stepped back slightly, "Smallbite, leave them alone, their not worth your time," Scorponok said to the girl as she glared at him, "the last time I checked, you weren't the next in line," "watch your mouth girl! Just because your Megatron's daughter doesn't mean I'll tear you to shreds!" Smallbite rolled her eyes as she swiped at Scorponok, he stepped back, "Anyways. Just so you Maximals know whom your up against," she said swinging her claws causing her teammates to duck as a tree split in two. Jag stared then looked at Cheetor, who gulped, putting his hand to his throat, "I decided to show myself, in person, aren't you lucky?" Smallbite asked smirking as she turned into her Beast Mode again then took off with the other Predacons. Optimus and the others stood in their places; both terrified, and confused as to how the new member came about.
