Chapter 4, Caged Birds:
Gold Saw was an interesting femme, even with her backround as an Assassin. Knowing a good warehouse everywere, she led them to a rusty one on the edge of Washington D.C. Even so, It was so big that Optimus would fit in it without trouble. Azure looked to the corner and saw her Cheytac .408 Cal leaning agianst a wall. "..Where the hell did you find my Rifle?" Azure asked. "Oh, did a bit of scalvaging around were both of you had a standoff." Bladeclaw said simply. "Really, Strength. Thanks." Azure said. "No prob." Bladeclaw said simply.
"Well, lets get down to buisness, shall we? Supposedly, the Decepticons have been wanting to go full scale invasion on us, from what Gold Saw has collected. They are aiming for we're allied with, hoping to strike someplace good. So, we got a Time Crisis on our hands. Apperently, they want to hit an ally." Azure Said.
"Woah, Wait. I thought this was a reunion, right?" Bumblebee asked. "Nope. We secretly met because back on Cybertron, there was an illegal Network System called the Underground. Bladeclaw, Azure, and I initially started the Underground during the great war. Now, we're replotting to strike against the Decepticons." Gold Saw said simply. Bumblebee nodded.
(At NEST base with a Really pissed off Mearing)
"Now what? We got a girl that's capable of blowing up Russia, A murderess on the loose and an innocent Scout that gonna be dragged into hell. Any ideas? Or maybe we just drop a Bomb on her the next time anybody sights her. One less danger down." Mearing rambled on to Optimus. "While she may be deadly, and somewhat unstable, she has the power of a Master Spark, a very rare ability which harbors the power of a once living scientist, Nuclearwing, the Femme who harnessed Nuclear Power into weapons." Optimus said silently, looking down at the floor. "Nuclear Powers! In what part of Hell do you think she's safe? Do you know what would happen if she released those powers? A complete repeat of Chernobyl! No, Worse! The radiation would be so bad, we couldn't be able to even breath without getting severely contaminated!" Mearing yelled. At that moment, an Aide came running in. "Decepticons are attacking Japan!" She said, out of breath. "Where did you get this information?" Mearing asked.
"From me."
The whole base turned to see a girl with a black hood and scarf with Orange flames that wound around her neck, covering her mouth, flowing into a cape, with the Autobot Enblem on the scarf. She had a black Sleeveless dress with a white star on the right breast and white trim on the edges and black leggings with Metal plating that started below the knees. Her most unsual features were that she had large arms that looked like they could crush anybody in a second and a metal tail tipped with an Orange Triangle Feature. She had silver Hair with Neon Orange eyes that had a circular pattern in them. "And you are...?" Lennox asked precauriously. "Bladeclaw." She replied simply.
'Well, she's certanly earned her name. She could rip us apart with those arms.' Lennox thought, looking at the arms. All the Soldiers had their guns pointed at the girl. "It's okay, I don't bite." Bladeclaw said simply. The Soldiers loaded their guns to shoot. "Hold your fire." Lennox ordered. "So, Bladeclaw. How'd you find this place? Nuclear Reactor friend Azure lead you here?" Mearing asked. "...No. I found this place through a friend of mine in here. And Azure's not a Nuclear Reactor. She just was the few lucky to Survive Nuclearwing's tests." Bladeclaw said coldly.
(In Japan)
The Decepticon Warship floated over Tokyo, chains decending from a hatch on the bottom of the war ship. The City was long empty, and Decepticons ravaged the Capital of Japan. Scarlet sat on a throne made of interlocking Chains. She watched as the Decepticons modified the city to their liking. Azure, Gold Saw and Bee stayed, waiting for the final member of their attack team, Bladeclaw to return. Without their Strength factor, they were still. A platform with engraved cybertronian Symbols around it sat in the middle, softly glowing. "What is taking her so long?" Azure muttered. Instead of her usual trench coat, she wore a shorter coat with the same black and Silver Markings and the Autobot Emblem on the collar. The Cybertronian Symbols started glowing Orange, and Bladeclaw materialized. "Strength, Good to see ya!" Azure said. "I got NEST Intel on the way. For now, lets get some trophies." Bladeclaw said, Handing Azure a Katana with a Serrated edge near the end of the blade. "Bee, if anything happens, radio us." Azure said, Slinging the case of a Cheytac .408 Cal on her shoulder. As they went their seperate ways, Bumblebee took caution to avoid Decepticons.
Azure jumped from rooftop to rooftop, hoping to find a good place to hide The Sniper Rifle. She took a quick look around her and swore it was silent around here. Too Silent. She heard a momentary gust of wind, but then saw the Silver blade wipping at her neck. The blade made contact.
The Decepticon Loyalist slashed the blade through the air, a smile on her face. The Smile soon turned to a Cross of a frown and a smile when she saw Azure Backward Planking. The Autobot Gunslinger quickly stood up, unscathed. Azure slammed her fist into the Skull then quickly taking a step back and Let A case materialize onto her arm and letting the Loyalist recover.
The Pink Haired, Scythe Weilding Loyalist looked around, only to see nothing. She heard the light tap of heels land behind her, but was too slow. The Impact of Metal to her head knocked her out. The Loyalist fell to the ground, dropping her Scythe. Azure picked up a black peice of Metal plating, and looked at it carefully. It had the same Symbols on it as the Teleportation plate. Quickly stuffing it into her belt, she carefully hid the case under a concrete shelf. From now forward, she only had the use of her Cannon and her blade.
(With Bladeclaw)
She slowly walked through, occasionaly hearing blasts from somewhere. She had found a plate with Transportation symbols on it too. Loyalists had been common for a long time, and now with Scarlet on this attack, they could kill anything they wanted. Gold Saw knew what they were in for if they failed. So did everybody else. Bumblebee had not known about all this, and here he was, fighting for himself. Bladeclaw had been with him for a while, and then vanished. She wasn't very far from him when she heard the Energon curdling Screams. "Bumblebee!" She yelled and ran in the direction of his screams. She tore through buildings, causing her dress to get torn. Slamming through the last wall, she gasped at the sight.
Bumblebee had several slashes across his arm, and a short Length of a Chain wrapped around his cannon. Bladeclaw softly started snapping apart the chains, looking for something that would set off this trap. After unwrapping the last chain, A plate with Teleportation symbols fell onto the ground. She bent down and picked it up. The plate held a large amount of Symbols, and one was half cut off. Bldeclaw quickly pulled out the other peice and connected them. A current ran through them, and they seemed glued. Bladeclaw looked up and saw Bumblebee's slashes seemingly gone. "We gotta tell Azure..." Bladeclaw Muttered. Suddenly, several Decepticon Airships zipped through the air. "Shit...!" Bladeclaw swore, Several Decepticons Transformed and landing around the Duo in a circle. "Bumblebee. Whatever you do, don't slow down." Bladeclaw said, several Sharp Tipped Claws and Spiked Knuckles forming on her crush arms.
Bumblebee readied his cannons, and Dodged as the Decepticons sped at them.
(With Azure)
"Gold Saw, anything interesting?" Azure asked, brushing off a bit of dust on her coat. A whole ravaged street filled with dead Decepticon Loyalists was layed out behind Azure. Her blade had pure Azure Energon dripping from it. "No, but be careful. Decepticons are freakin' Invading the City. Watch your back." Gold Saw said, Radioing back. "Gold Saw, I have some buisness to take care of..." Azure said, looking at a Greenish mist trailing through the Shadows. All of a sudden, a Knife wipped out of nowhere from behind her, Aimed at her Neck. Azure Suddenly turned and slashed her blade through the knife. In the reflection of the Falling blade, she saw a Girl in a Dark Green Dress with Black leggings and Leather boots. Her Green Hair was up in a Bun and her Neon Green Eyes Glew brightly.
The Mysterious girl sprang, a giant Scythe in her hand. Azure quickly turned and sprang, her blade poised to strike.
Gold saw walked through the ravaged streets, her Signature saws ready to attack anybody that would attack her. "Gold Saw, Nice to see you."
Gold Saw spun around only to see the exact Femme she dreaded to see. Cobalt Silver Saw. "Cobalt Silver Saw. What in the Allspark brought you here?" Gold Saw Hissed. "Heard you were here and thought we could be able to Settle some unfinished buisness." Silver Saw stated, pulling out two Cobalt Saw's with Black and Silver lining. "Fine then. So we shall." Gold Saw stated, holding her Saws at her side.
"Are those the last, Bladeclaw?" Bumblebee asked. "I hope so...Are you okay?" Bladeclaw said, looking at the young scout. "For now..." Bee muttered. "Anyways, lets try to see if Gold Saw and Azure are okay." Bladeclaw said, carefully walking over dead Decepticon Corpses. "Its like we're Birds in Cages..." Bumblebee muttered. "Why do you say that?" Bladeclaw asked. "The war is our cage. We're the Birds. We can't be released unless this war come to an end." Bumblebee explained.
End Of Chapter 4, Aru! I'm so sorry for not updating! I have had a busy summer! Free Cookie to why Cobalt Silver Saw is Crimson Gold Saw's enemy! Hint: Look at Black Rock Shooter and White Rock Shooter. It should be pretty simple. R&R I would greatly appreceiate it!
