Major Lennox's POV~
I was nervous, not because of the Con attack but for the fact that we were taking four minors with us! Inexperienced, no more then 16 little girls! I didn't think higher ups were to authorize this, even if they did have All Spark powers. But then again I didn't imagine myself fighting alongside and against 50ft enormous alien robots! So what did I know?
I watched as Epps explain to the girls how exactly procedure would be for when we arrived over our destination, they looked pretty excited to jump out of a plane. One even tried to convince us that they have experience with skydiving and are use to jumping out of plane's to get where they need to go. I had to hold in a comment about bad parenting...but Epps explained that it didn't matter and not to argue anymore about it. When he get done talking to them he turned and strides towards me and boy did he look annoyed.
"Geez yo Will are you sure we gotta' take them along?", Epps asked me rubbing his head. "I mean I know there part of the team but they just don't seem ready you know? What if they get hurt and we're not able to help them?"
"Don't worry", I said to him reassuringly. "I have plan, we tell them that they are strictly to observe but I'll place them far enough that they won't get hurt. I know they'll protest but hey like you said they're not ready." He nodded liking the plan then looked over at the girls, each was doing there own thing Varsity was engaging herself in a very fast conversation with Inspire they looked really excited about this. Inspire was even polishing the gun we gave her, meanwhile Maple was talking to Graham probably asking how exactly they were going to jump out of the plane. I knew who I was going to pair her up with...then Oracle was well just leaning against the wall just keeping to herself.
"I have set up the pairings for when we take the big plunge", Epps said, I glanced to him and waited for him to continue. "Graham will be with Maple, Varsity with Fig, you with Inspire and myself with Oracle." He told me before I could reply to that the siren screeched as the pilot spoke over the intercom.
"All arsenal prepare for bailout", he said making the soldiers scramble to their chutes.
"Its show time", Epps said to me patting me on the back, "Good luck with Inspire man you're gonna need it".
"Wait a minute!" I cried before he left. "When did you make that decision?"
"Graham, Fig and I drew names from a hat. I tried to talk to you but you didn't show up so you snooze you lose pal", was all he said as he grabbed his chute and walked over to Oracle.
"Major!" cried an overly excited Inspire who saluted at me. "Ready to jump sir!"
I looked at her and sighed praying that she wouldn't freak out, the last thing I need is a bunch of scratch marks on my face. "Alright let's go and remember this is normal procedure so don't freak out when we jump ok?" She just rolled her eyes at me and nodded. "This is going to be a long night", I stated and prepared for the jump.
~Epps POV~
I can't tell you how relieved I was to having been paired with Oracle; she was quiet the whole time throughout the whole jump when I asked her why she was so calm she replied.
'Jumping out of plane's is not something I'm unfamiliar of, in fact compared to others this jump was pretty tame', that's what she said and I can't help but wonder what the hell kind of life did she grow up in? Well the other girls didn't do so bad either, Maple freaked for a bit but eventually she stopped screaming and started laughing along with Varsity and Inspire. Inspire actually almost killed herself and Lennox cause she didn't let him pull his shoot when he was suppose to, finally he got the better of her and pulled the shoot before it was too late. Poor Will, I don't know if his heart rate will ever be the same again. Varsity was loud but she at least behaved.
We landed just a few miles from Las Vegas in the dessert we expected to have a full squad there waiting for us, but apparently they were caught up in traffic. Idiots decided to drive through Vegas first before meeting us too see if any damage has been done yet, on paper it seemed smart but in reality they were going through Vegas in July on a Saturday...traffic was going to be hell.
"Major! Cavalry's comin' estimated time 15 minutes", Graham cried and I sighed in relief.
"Finally", he said and looked at his watch. "Wow it's a miracle we've only been waiting for a half hour", growled kicking some sand. "Let's hope that there is something left for us to save of Las Vegas . Otherwise people are going to have to find somewhere else to blow their paychecks and all their life savings."
I laughed a bit and waited finally they came by Will was pissed but as much as either of us wanted to give them a lecture about the values of being on time we just didn't have enough of it to explain it! So quickly we all basically just rounded up together and booked it back to Vegas, well hey at least after this was all over I'm sure I could get a discount and head to the slots.
I had never seen the Major drive so fast, hell I'd never seen anyone drive so fast in my life you'd think we had Decepticons on our asses. We were even driving past Sides he didn't like that too much but it took us so long to get to Vegas we had to pretty much speed. What took 45 minutes to get our backup from Vegas to us we made it there in 20 minutes. By that time it was 8pm and as if on cue the moment we enter BOOM!! Giant explosion right in front of us quickly Will stomped on the breaks just as what looked like a giant leg crashed right in front of us, it looked like it was from one of those signs with the lady kicking her leg up and down.
"Ok listen up!" Will cried as he ushered the girls out of the back of the vehicle while the rest of us got ready for battle. "You girls stay here with the jeep, your mission is to strictly observe. You are to not to follow us, in any way watch how things are done stay together and stay safe! If you dare disobey this order then expect the harshest of punishment. We clear?".
The girls looked at each other then at Lennox Inspire and Varsity looked ready to protest but Will gave them a glare that would put even Hide to shame, both girls fell silent and nodded.
"Good! Alright group A surround the perimeter of the area make sure nothing gets out, Group B your with me and Epps were doing recon. If you find any civilians injured be sure to grab them and bring them to safety got that?", he shouted at the Special Opps. They nodded and saluted, "Good let's move out!", he cried and we were off.
~Oracle's POV~
I watched as Lennox left with his team, Optimus and the other Autobots split up into their separate groups as well leaving us four by the jeep alone. Personally I was relieved I didn't think we were at all ready I mean we did good during the training simulations against Decepticons but I had no idea how we'd face the real deal. Unfortunately I was the only one who felt relieved at being left behind.
"This sucks! I mean come on were part of NEST now shouldn't we be fighting with them?", Inspire complained as she leaned against the hood and pouted. "Its like they don't trust us at all."
"I know!" Varsity cried in agreement. "And I was so looking forward to seeing the big bots in action what a rip-off."
I just rolled my eyes at them, "You guys lighten up. We'd probably just get in the way, Lennox and the rest of them have way more experience then we do so lets just do what they say ok?".
Varsity and Inspire mumbled clearly they were not going to let it go, Maple I was starting to worry over she was quiet a little too quiet. She was just standing there arms crossed as if thinking about something...I prayed that I was wrong.
Maple then snapped her fingers and turned to us with a look of triumphant glee, "I just got an idea", she said and I had to resist to slink onto the ground did I mention that God hates me? " Lennox said our mission was to strictly observe right?", she asked.
Inspire and Varsity nodded and waited to see what she was getting at, I just stood there resisting the great urge to glare. "Well", Maple said and continued. "How can we observe when we can't even see the battle?", she asked and smiled evily.
Oh F**k, I thought to myself as Varsity and Inspire both smiled just as evily, "Yeah your right", Inspire said as she stood up straight with a bit of a bounce in her step. "We can't observe if we can't see how will we learn how to do things right?".
"We won't", Varsity said chiming in excited. "We won't learn a thing, so if were too observe then we need to see them in action you know to follow in our mission which we are to strictly follow."
"The Major also said not to follow them no matter what", I told them with a bit of sternness in my voice.
Maple looked at me and was silent again I hoped that meant that she couldn't think of a solution but again she got that brilliant look in her eyes as she smirked, "That's right not to follow them, well we won't were not going to. We'll keep to ourselves go on a walk and if we 'happen' to come across a fight or two it'll be by pure chance."
Varsity and Inspire again smiled with glee at Maple's plan, I glared intently at all three of them. "Don't even think about you guys" I warned.
"Were not disobeying orders Oracle...", Maple sang as she walked towards the explosions which I thought that itself was insane!
"You guys are so going to get it when they return!", I cried at them as Varsity and Inspire followed them.
"We'll be back before they notice", Inspire said waving at me fully intent with this plan.
"I AM NOT GOING TO SAVE YOUR ASSES IF YOU GET IN TROUBLE! YOUR ON YOUR OWN WITH THIS ONE!", I shouted standing my ground.
"We won't get in trouble! We'll be safe as can be", Varsity said and waved at me. "Have fun by yourself Oracle! Your gonna miss all the fun!", she said with delight.
I crossed my arms and leaned against the jeep fully intent on not following them, 'I am not their babysitter I'm tired of getting them out of the shit they get themselves into they're on their own this time! Maybe now they'll learn.' By five minutes the girls were gone out of sight and I was left alone to sit there by myself, glaring and scowling. I didn't even budge when I heard the countless explosions in the distance I stood my ground but finally ten minutes later I sighed and had to stop myself from pulling my hair out.
"Why oh why do I have to be the nice one?!", I cried and finally grabbed one of the girls guns (don't know which idiot forgot to bring it...I'm gonna guess Inspire considering it was shiny from being polished). "They so owe me big time for this!", I shouted then ran towards the string of explosions for that would be most likely where they would head to first.
(End of First Person Permanently)
Wheelie was nervous, once Oracle left he didn't know what to do...he was suppose to keep the girls there at that spot and keep a shield up over them. For Ratchet said that now with the Spark energy fused with their basic human construction its energy now radiated off them, so without shielding any Transformer would be able to sense them and find them within minutes. "Better call Lennox awww man he's so going to kill me", he cried as he opened a comm link to the Major. "Ahh Major this is Wheelie we got a problem!".
On the other end of the link explosions could be heard, and it was a little staticy as Lennox replied. "What is it Wheelie?! I'm a little busy right now!", he cried as he shot a few rounds at a Decepticon one he hadn't seen before.
"Yeah uhh you see the girls are sorta....gone", he told him slowly and winced waiting for the yelling.
"Gone....WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE GONE?!", Lennox cried and waited for the small ex-cons story.
Wheelie quickly told the Major about Maple twisting his orders around and how Varsity and Inspire quickly caught up to her plan, "Oracle stayed for awhile but she then followed after the other three probably trying to bring them back."
Lennox swore a waterfall of cuss words, Optimus looked down at him as he kicked at another unidentified Decepticon. "The girls are gone! Damn brats twisted my words!", Lennox quickly explained then returned his attention to Wheelie. "Alright listen Wheelie! Why the hell didn't you transform and stop them yourself?!".
"Major, even in my full size I'm only a foot tall! And they would have overpowered me literally....I didn't have a chance...what could I have done?!", he cried.
"You could have explained that they were in danger if they didn't stay close to you! That a Decepticon could find them in 10 seconds flat without proper shielding! You could have at least slowed them down!", he growled then rubbed his temples. "Look follow Oracle she'll know where to find the others at least keep her shielded enough, then when you find the others tell them that they are to stay together with you for their own safety. If they don't listen then at least get Oracle to help you drag them by their feet back to the jeep! If you fail this mission Wheelie I personally will offline you myself! Now go I'll try to meet with you later!", he cried and fired off another of rounds while shouting. "Die you piece of junk die!".
"Roger that!", Wheelie cried and quickly turned of the comm link and sped after Oracle before she was out of his sight range. 'Oh man come on Wheelie move your aft or else you'll be nothing but a piece of scrap when there done with you!'.
Meanwhile Maple, Varsity and Inspire were sprinting to the top of what looked like the most expensive apartment duplex in all of Las Vegas, they were climbing up thousands of fire escapes to finally they made it to the top. "Wow what a work out", Maple said but then leaned toward the edge of the building and smile gleefully at the sight before her. "But worth it!", she then took out her binoculars and pointed to direction she was looking at. "We can see the fight perfectly without binoculars alone from here, but with them its amazing", she said and looked at the battle.
Inspire and Varsity quickly did the same taking out theirs and watched, they were looking at Lennox 's team for they saw Optimus, Ironhide, Bee, Sides, and the twins along with a few soldiers here and there. They then looked at the enemies side the found pretty much only a few that they recognized from the training sessions. Barricade, Blackout, Demolisher and Starscream, there were two others but they didn't recognize those two must have been new editions. Megatron was no where in sight, Varsity pouted a bit wanting to see the big bad con in person but settle for the Dorito.
"Holy shit look at Bee", she said impressed as Bumblegrabbed onto Blackout and actually threw him into another building destroying it. "That's amazing!".
Maple nodded but she was focused on Sideswipe she had figured he was just a show-off and didn't take anything seriously that wouldn't be so bad if he didn't have such a huge ego which annoyed the hell out of her. But seeing him in action totally gave her a new perspective on the mech as he skated up to one of the D-cons and before he could move Sideswipe sliced down at his arm making a clean cut. "Awesome...he's like a giant robot samurai!", she said excited. "This is better then the movies!".
"Bee and Sides are ok", Inspire said. "But the twins now look at them", she said laughing her ass off. Maple and Varsity looked at her then at each other then followed the direction Inspire was looking in, they then realized why she was laughing so hard. Skids had hopped on Barricade's shoulders and was riding him like a cowboy would a bull while Mudflap shot continuously at the big mech in the face barely missing Skids. You couldn't tell if the bot was aiming for the Decepticon or for his brother. "That is just awesome!", Inspire said as she got back up and wiped the tears from her eyes.
Varsity and Maple made no comments as they continued to watch the battle, a few more minutes went by and it looked like the Auto-bots were about to make the final attack on the Decepticons but just then a silver looking plane flew by way to close then a normal plane should be. The Con forces then quickly shook off there attackers and transformed moving off in different directions retreating.
"Hey where do you think there going?", Inspire asked turning to her two sisters. Both of the other girls just shrugged not knowing the answer till they heard a loud screeching noise like that from a plane, it was right on top of them. All three of them simultaneously looked up to find the plane from before right there, quickly they scrambled behind the square brick entrance that lead to the roof they stood behind it for there was no way they could get to the door in time. They pressed their backs hard against the cold brick as they heard the familiar sound of a cybertronian transforming followed by a loud thump and an impact that made their surrounding area shook for awhile.
"Oh crap...oh crap crap crap!", Varsity whispered freaking out. "What are we gonna do?". She asked as another Decepticon came to the roof and landed right next to the other one.
"Were going to be quiet and stay put", Maple said as she tried hard to keep her own heart from jumping out of her chest. She hated a lot of things but one of the things she hated was Oracle being right! 'Damn you', was all she could think as more Decepticons came.
"Lord Megatron", Starscream said and bowed well groveled at his leaders feet. "It is a honor to see you like always Master but I thought you didn't wish to uhh come on this little excursion."
Megatron growled as he grabbed Starscream by the neck and pinned him to the ground, "I didn't think I would need to, this was suppose to be an easy mission but you managed to mess it up anyway! You worthless pathetic piece of scrap, can't you do anything right?", he cried and left the seeker to quiver in fear.
Lord Megatron....Soundwave said sending a comm link to the very angry Con Leader.
"What is it Soundwave?!", he demanded.
Lord Megatron there are three All Spark energy signals in your surrounding areahe answered monotoned as usual. This bit of information seem to peaked Megatrons interest as he stepped away from Starscream giving the seeker great relief.
"Oh really? Interesting...are you sure Soundwave? This information is far too important to be a mistake, I swear if you are lying", he started but then was interupted.
By my calculations you are exactly 125.2715 inches east from the energy signals Lord Megatron. Why don't you see for yourself?
Megatron was silent he knew Soundwave wasn't a fool and wouldn't lie about something this important, so slowly he followed the directions Soundwave had given him, there before him was the entrance from the apartments to the roof at first he was about to comm Soundwave back in fury until he heard what resembled a human cough. Megatron looked at it for awhile then kicked away the entrance brick and plaster was sent flying into the air, and in its place left Maple, Varsity, Inspire who clung to each other in terror. Megatron then smiled so wickedly that even the Decepticons couldn't help but shiver. "Well, what do we have here? Three little insects without any place to hide."
The girls did everything they could to keep each other from screaming, though Inspire couldn't help it as she looked up at Megatron and said, "Oh F***k we are screwed", and left it at that.
Oracle at that moment was saying the same thing as she ran into the Major himself, she sighed heavily and rolled her eyes. "Might as well face the music", she said as she ran up to him. "Major!", she cried and followed him into the alley, he saw her and waited as she caught up. "Listen I know we were suppose to stay by the Jeep but...."
Lennox waved his hand at her stopping her and cried, "IknowIknowIknow, Wheelie told me everything", he said and before Oracle could ask the tiny bot came up to him and transformed before his eyes. "Listen we got to find the others quickly, now that the All Spark fragments have fused with you permanently its energy is just pouring off of you. Wheelie here is able to produce a shield to block it and keep it from being detected by enemy forces aka the Cons. We were fighting some of the forces but then Megatron came by ordering a retreat. They could be anywhere now we got hurry and find the girls before the Cons find them first."
Despite everything Oracle couldn't help but swear and kick at some debree lying around, "Why didn't you tell us that in the first place?! If you said that they probably would have stayed put!", she then thought about it for awhile and looked at the tiny Autobot. "That or kidnap Wheelie and take him with them..."
"Look, we don't have to time to place the blame", Lennox cried. "We gotta get going now", just then a shadowy image flew past them. Both Lennox and Oracle directed their attention as the source of the shadow ran past them. It was running so fast all Oracle could see was a red streak, but she did get a good look at the eyes green bright green but it was only for a second and the sound of a muffled chuckle came from where the streak had been. The Red Streak was running towards the end of the alleyway but there was a huge fire blocking the path.
"What is that person doing?", Oracle said seeing the Red Streaked figure jumped, and just then both Lennox and Oracle caught sight of a gasoline tank as the blur of red went to jump over the fire. The tank was rolling its way slowly towards the fire about to touch the heated waved energy. "Wait stop!" Oracle cried at the figure but it was too late the tank reached the fire and Lennox quickly pulled her and Wheelie away from the alleyway opening as fire erupted. One more second and they would have been burnt to a crisp, Oracle couldn't help but look behind to see if the person was able to escape his or her fiery demise. But she wasn't able to get a full look as Lennox grabbed onto her arm and pulled her in the opposite direction.
"There's no time, that crazy bastard most likely didn't make it, we got to find the girls now", Oracle sighed and nodded as she ran in full speed behind Lennox but still she couldn't help but wonder who would be stupid enough to try and jump over a ring of fire, and why those piercing green eyes stuck in the back on her mind.
'Who was that?'
That is the end of the chapter I must end it here...if I don't then the chapter will be way too long! So you'll have to get the other half tomorrow ladies and gents! Have the girls reached their demise?
Girls: Please no! We'll be good!

Megatron: Wouldn't you like to know?

Mystery Person:......quit teasing you know your just going to tell them to wait till the next chapter.
Me: ^^;; yeah pretty much. Next chapter you'll find out who the other two D-cons were plus some new auto-bots join the scene only I think you guys will know who they are ;).
