"Oh it feels good to get this chapter done! Hopefully I'll be able to updated sooner than this from now on. Well, enjoy!
Chapter 3
A Lousy Seduction
Upon daybreak, the Autobots and the femmes gathered all the possessions that were any use to them, from the ship.
With 10 robots on the job, it didn't take much time at all.
"Alright girls." Katrina said. "I guess we'd best scan for alternative forms now."
"We also best show you how the road rules apply on this planet." Optimus said. "We'd prefer to avoid accidents."
"Easily understandable." Mahola said. "So, which one of you boys will be my escort?"
Bumblebee went with Melossa, Bulkhead went with Mahola and Damia, Ratchet went with Valtina, and Optimus left with Katrina.
Being the last two left, Ava and Sari went as a pair as well.
On the way, they interacted other than just the smaller femme telling the bigger one how the "street rules" apply.
"So your home, what was it like?" Sari asked.
"Like I said, it wasn't too different from this one at all." Ava replied. "We had flora just like the ones around here."
"Anything different?" Sari asked again.
"Well the atmosphere looked a bit more green in color." Ava replied.
"And what happened to it?" Sari questioned once more.
"I told you Sari." Ava answered. "We don't like talking about it."
"...sorry." Sari responded.
"Not your fault kid." Ava said. "So where exactly are we going?"
"Where there's plenty of selections for you." Sari said.
The two arrived at a used car shop with a lot of vehicles parked and waiting to be taken.
The big femme looked through them all but nothing seemed to peak her interest.
Some were dull, others were scratched and the rest were just not her taste.
Ava then eyed something at the edge.
It was a Chrysler P.T. Cruiser.
Despite being in the used cars area, it looked as good as new.
"I like it." She said with a smile.
Ava ran her scanner across the vehicle and took the form as her alternative.
Her own version of course was larger.
"Looks nice in your colors." Sari said.
"Thanks." Ava replied before transforming back to herself. "So back to base?"
"Back to base." Sari answered.
The purple femme then turned back into her new alternative form drove home while Sari followed on her jetpack.
Ava had caught quickly and drove very well much to Sari's surprise.
Being the first to return, Ava transformed back into herself. Then she and Sari awaited the others to arrive as well.
It wasn't long at all before they saw Ratchet driving towards the base before taking his robot form.
Along with him, out of the skies came a orange and white colored medical helicopter.
It then transformed into the elderly femme.
"I thought this was a pretty nice vehicle." Valtina said.
Then Bulkhead alongside a Green and Blue colored Lexus IS (XE20) and a yellow and green Quad bike, all drove up to the base's entrance.
The Lexus changed shape until it was in Damia's form.
Mahola took her robot shape from the bike shortly after.
Following that, Bumblebee came in along with a purple Honda Accord Sedan that turned into the femme known as Melossa.
Finally, while Optimus parked at the area and transformed, a rather small but still unmistakable, red and black B-2 Spirit landed in a open spot.
Katrina's form emerged when it transformed.
"Where did she find that?" Sari asked herself with of course nothing to answer.
"Ultra Magnus should be here in a while." Optimus said.
"Is the windbag prime coming with him?" Bumblebee asked.
"Of course." Optimus said rolling his optics. "Him and Jazz."
"Are you gonna give him the slagging he always use to give to you?"
Optimus looked at the yellow bot for a moment. When he changed his view back to it's original spot, he replied with a simple.
"Maybe."
Followed by a slight smirk.
"Want to play video games while we wait Ava?" Bumblebee asked.
"You're on!" Ava answered and the two raced to the console.
After some time passed, Optimus called the others and they followed him to the rendezvous location which was up on a grassy plains, out of the town's way.
The bots transformed into their robot forms and awaited for the Elites to make their appearance.
"How long do they tend to keep you waiting?" Mahola asked.
Before Ratchet could answer, the sound of engines were heard behind the bots.
A very large ship soared over them and then hovered over a spot towards the area they were facing.
With it's exit looking towards them, the vehicle came to a gentle landing.
The door opened and when the movement came to an end, Jazz and Sentinel came walking out of the ship.
Ultra Magnus followed behind the pair.
"Greetings sir." Optimus said with a nod of his head.
Magnus nodded back.
He then eyed the femmes.
"I am Ultra Magnus." Magnus introduced. "I have heard from Optimus that you wish to join the Autobots."
"Yes sir." Katrina replied.
"Come aboard, everyone." Magnus said before turning around and walking into the ship again.
The other 13 followed the blue Autobot.
With a smirk on his face, Optimus whispered to Sentinel.
"How have you been, washout?"
"Shut up." He whispered back angrily.
Optimus chuckled very quietly. Even for him, it was good to get a little bit of ironic payback.
He then asked himself if he would stop on that one little comment or keep at it, the way Sentinel always had for him.
It wasn't much of a competition between the two choices.
Once inside the ship, Ultra Magnus turned to face the others who had followed him inside.
"I assume you're the leading femme." He said looking towards Katrina.
"Yes I am sir." Katrina answered.
"From what I've been told, your homeworld had been destroyed correct?" He asked.
"Yes sir." Katrina answered.
"And it wasn't by the Decepticon forces I assume?" Magnus continued.
"No sir." Katrina replied.
"I thought not. Such an action couldn't have been preformed by them as long as Megatron is locked away." Ultra Magnus said. "And with that as the scenario, what was it that caused such destruction?"
Katrina sighed and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry sir, but it's not an easy subject for me or the the other femmes." She answered.
"I see." He replied.
After a few seconds, Magnus continued.
"Not that I don't trust you, but just for precaution measures, I'm going to run a background check. I will return shortly."
With that he walked into another room leaving the others alone to interact.
Jazz turned towards the femmes and started conversation.
"Sorry for the lack of introduction outside. The name's Jazz. Nice to meet you little ladies." The ninja bot said with a very welcoming smile.
"Aren't you the kind, handsome one?" Valtina said.
"In the presence of the right company." Jazz said.
"What do you mean?" Damia asked.
"Well I knew you'd probably be pretty femmes but I never imagined this beautiful." Jazz said.
Mahola blushed.
"Oh you too kind." Valtina said with a giggle. "My name's Valtina. And that's Melossa, Mahola, and Damia."
Jazz nodded at them and chuckled, finding Mahola's blush rather cute.
Sentinel who had his optics on Katrina, walked over to the red femme and leaned against the side of the ship wall and crossed one leg over the other as if he was striking a pose.
It didn't take to long for her to realize he was beside her and she gave him her attention that had been absent until now.
"Do you want something?" She asked.
"You bet I do hot stuff." He replied.
"Come again?" Katrina asked.
"You're a real foxy femme." Sentinel answered.
Optimus kept wondering how he possibly got Elita to begin with.
"Is this idiot serious?" Katrina thought.
"And you are?" She asked.
"Sentinel Prime. And if your looking for satisfaction, I can do anything he can fifty times better." He said with a cheesy grin and pointing at Optimus on the "he can" part.
The red femme just shook her head and laughed.
"I don't know what's bigger. Your ego or your chin." Katrina replied.
Sentinel's cheesy grin disappeared at the insult and his Optics widened.
Bumblebee could not even dream to stop the laughter he burst into. Not that he had any desire not to show it anyhow. The idiot had just set himself up for that.
At the same time, Sari's laughter peeked it's height too as well as Mahola's, and Ava's
Optimus couldn't control his either but fortunately, Bumblebee's was so loud, it didn't stand out nearly as well.
Even Jazz, Damia, Bulkhead, Valtina, and Ratchet could help but at least let out a few snickers.
Sentinel seethed angrily at Bumblebee, not noticing how much Optimus was laughing at him as well.
He then turned towards Ava who was laughing almost as hard.
"Care to tell me your name." He asked rather angrily when the laughter began to die down."
"What's it to you?" Ava replied.
Sentinel just glared.
Ava sighed and said.
"I'm Ava, the sister of that femme that you completely failed to seduce."
"And where do you get off laughing at a bot higher above you position?" He asked.
"Well I don't know, maybe because it was funny." Ava replied half sarcastically.
"It most certainly was not!" Sentinel replied.
"No really, it was." Ava said. "I mean just look at you chin. It's bigger than the rest of your helm!"
"IT IS NOT!" Sentinel yelled. "I DO NOT HAVE A GIANT CHIN!"
"Denying obvious truth are we?" Ava said.
"Why I oughta-" Sentinel started.
"C'mon S.P., leave her be." Jazz said.
Sentinel glared at Jazz then back to Ava.
"I'll be keeping my optics on you, malfunction." He whispered.
"So, I guess that leaves only you." Jazz said to Katrina.
"That's Katrina." Bulkhead said.
"Sure is a stubborn thing isn't she?" Sentinel muttered
"Sentinel, shut up." Optimus replied.
"What? You want her as you own?" Sentinel asked. "Want to gloat in my faceplate that you have a femme friend and I don't?"
"Just let it go Sentinel." Jazz said.
That was about the moment when the door finally opened. Ultra Magnus stepped out.
"It appears you're telling the truth my dear." The big Autobot said to Katrina. "I would still want an explanation some time but for now, we shall head for Cybertron to confirm your alliance with the Autobots."
The ship's opening closed shut and the engines ignited.
The large vehicle soon flew on route to Cybertron.
