[ On a roll today people! May 28, 2015 update day! Or at least I am trying. I have thin mints on standby so I should be good. Unless my mom gets mad at me. anyway, we are up. –Radio ]

Operation: Free Falling Femmes

Aquamarine, Kinetix, Shadow, Nightblade; and Swiftwing were screaming their helms off as the air rushed by and the ground continued to get closer.

"We're gonna die!" Aqua screamed clenching her helm in fear. How did they end up in these situations? She blamed Radio.

FireRose and Radioactive had their arms crossed against their chassis, resting in a laid back position and simply falling while looking bored.

"Why are you two NOT freaking out?" Kinetix screamed over the rushing wind.

"Screaming would get us nowhere. As commanders, we must be ready for anything. Besides, the seekers can fly." Radioactive answered nonchalantly.

Below, a battle rang loud. The two commanders looked down at the battle as Kinetix digested their words and began an attempt to calm Aqua down.

"FireRose there seems to be a battle between the 'Cons and 'Bots!" Radioactive reported.

Mechs were blasting away at the barren landscape. Screams and war cries filled the air but were muffled battle sounds to the free falling femmes. It seemed that they were interrupting a raid upon a Decepticon base. How lovely.

"Like Pit there is." She replied taking in the details while attempting to configure a battle plan. This was kinda a big thing for her. First real battle and all.

Radioactive turned to take in the other side of the battle when a small dot being chased by a bigger dot caught her optics. Zeroing in her vision, she hissed angrily. A small Cybertronian running away from a giant black mech with red eyes screamed in terror. Her programming clicked into place.

"Targeted, Mission acquired. Commander there is a sparkling in danger, being chased by a Decepticon heading away from the battle and anybot that could help." Radioactive stated with complete seriousness. Her tone change caught her commanders attention with the shift.

As a human she was always over protective of others especially younger ones like her cousins. FireRose and the others paused and looked at the scene. FireRose's optics flashed red at the sight of the mech cornering the little sparkling back against a giant boulder.

"FEMMES! Change course like skydivers and head for that sparkling. Try not to crash into the rock or each other. LET'S GO!" FireRose ordered. Aquamarine continued screaming as Kinetix grabbed her arm and guided her towards the sparkling. The others followed orders. The seekers still could not figure out how to fly yet so they simply changed course with Nightblade.

"LOOK OUT!" Shadow and Swiftwing shrieked as a stray blast headed towards FireRose and Radioactive.

The blast hit Radio's side slamming her into FireRose who slammed into Nightblade who crashed into Kinetix who dragged Aqua down with her who fell onto Shadow and Swift as they tried to get away.

"KKKYYYAAAAAAAAA!" They all shrieked as they accelerated down towards the unforgiving ground.

"Come here little femmeling." The large mech hissed with a nasty smirk. The little navy midnight blue sparkling quivered and her bright blue optics shined with energon tears.

"KAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

"What the-?" The mech started but was cut off as a meteoroid crashed into the ground near him and the sparkling causing the ground to quake.

As the dust cleared, the meteoroid turned into a pile of femmes tangled together.

"How the Pit Did I fragging get on the bottom in this slagging mess?" Radio ranted growling as she stood up throwing Aqua and Nightblade off of her. "HEY Mech! Back off the sparkling! I am not in the mood to tangle with afts right now!" Radio growled.

"Radio, why the attitude?" Kinetix mumbled thinking 'now is not the time!'

'Hey! I heard that! I am guessing this is the comm. link or something but this mech is pissing me off. Danniluke coding is kicking so let's kick some aft!' Radio transmitted.

'Approved! Let's kick some aft femmes!' FireRose commanded.

Radioactive noticed the mech's hand cannon's glow and rise to aim at the sparkling during their chat. With a snarl, she dived forward and rolled under the mech's giant arm. With a quick jump kick to the limb, she sent the mech backwards and the blast into the air. The blast hit the top of the boulder and sent debris falling towards the group.

FireRose swiftly subspaced two energon badaft swords and destroyed the falling rubble from crushing the sparkling and her teammates.

"Nice Fire, way to be badaft!" Shadow encouraged, dusting the dirt her shoulder and wings. The mech was not moving but Radio was.

"Didn't your femme creator teach you NOT to point cannons at sparklings? Honestly!" She ranted then turned to the scared sparkling. "Are you okay sweet-spark?" She asked kneeling down besides the sparkling. The sparkling jumped into Radio's arms and started sobbing as she cuddled into Radio's neck wires.

"Hush now sweetie. I'm here, nobots going to hurt you." Radio whispered rocking her in her arms.

"You're a natural Em, whoops I mean Radioactive." Aqua said. The group slightly distracted by the cute scene.

"Aquamarine, watch it!" Kinetix warned. Suddenly, a wild silver red eyed mech nabbed Aqua from behind causing the small femme to scream.

"Hey there femme, let's you and me ditch this battle and go play?" He cooed nastily with a sickly smirk. Rage swarmed the girls but mechs started to pop up everywhere.

"Kinetix take her!" Radioactive ordered as she gently placed the sparking into Kinetix's arms.

"Wha?"

"DANNI NO!" The sparkling cried reaching for Radio but the older femme had a mission.

Radioactive's optics turned a dark red that caused the mech holding Aqua to start for they resembled a bot he knew. Enraged, Radio yelled,

"Aqua, Duck damnit!" Aqua's helm quickly ducked down as Radio aimed one of her hand cannons and fired. "YOU! STAY! AWAY! FROM! MY SISTERS! You fragging dumbaft!" She yelled as she ripped Aqua from the mech and kicked him away. The mech flew back into another.

The sparkling was screaming 'danni' and giving Kinetix a hard time as the others surrounded them readying to fight and protect. Radio directed Aqua to join Kinetix and the sparkling before taking her place next to FireRose and Nightblade.

"Who's aft gets kicked now! Step up! Step up!" Radio was in a full outrage war. FireRose simply snarled and gave a twirl of her blades. Nightblade cackled darkly as a daring smirk graced her normally cheerful face. The seekers thrusters whined and blasters and ray guys hummed in anticipation. Upon FireRose's orders, Kinetix handed Aqua the sparkling and readied her own blades.

A group of 'Cons stopped at the purple femme's words and smirked at Radio. They took her words and began to charge at her. She charged right back at them.

She deactivated her cannons and started flipping, side hitting, and bashing helms with her fist and pedes. In a matter of minutes they were all down leaving her huffing in the middle of the wreckage. Nightblade began to slow clap and FireRose whistled.

"I approve of this rage." She said with a smirk. Just like that the battle commenced.

Swiftwing and Shadow started to give cover fire as more mechs surrounded them as Kinetix guarded the others. FireRose started slashing random 'Cons with her twin energon swords as Radio subspaced her hammer. FireRose and Nightblade tag teamed fought doing all those cool team fighting moves seen in crazy action pack movies.

"Come at me 'Cons! Show me what you got you fragging toasters!" Radio taunted twirling her hammer in one hand before grasping it with the other. She then started charging at random 'Cons knocking in their helms. A whole line of 'Cons rushed in front of Aqua, Kinetix and the wailing sparkling but Radio's hammer spun into their heads; knocking them to the ground and lodging itself into the side of another boulder.

"Stay Alert!" Radio demanded, she feared for her sisters as this truly was the real deal, as she jumped into the air. Flipping in midair, Radio landed right next to her hammer's handle. She yanked it out and jumped down where she landed on what looked to be Cyclonus, a decepticon.

"Whoopies!" She sang hopping down and attempting to jog away. Fate didn't agree for Cyclonus grabbed her ankle, crushing the armor and twisting the wires. He dragged her up with him causing her to dangle in the air upside down. They shared a death glare with Radio winning allowing her the chance to knock his feet out with her hammer and land a blow to his helm.

'Slag if I was still human then I would have a broken ankle!' Radio winced inward at the thought as she rushed away.

'You okay?' Aqua sent worriedly over the link.

'Fine.' Radio replied a bit breathless as she ducked a fist.

'Fine? Radio if you say it is fine then it is NOT!' Kinetix glared. A blast was heard close to Radioactive. A blast from a cannon hit her point blank on her side sending her flying. The hammer disappeared as she rolled to a stop in front of Kinetix and Aqua.

"Radioactive!" Kinetix cried out. Terror filled her voice as Radio's optics offlined. Kinetix became busy defending Radio's body as she battled off mech after mech. Aqua used her rings to thrust the mechs back but it was hard with a screaming sparkling in your arms to do so. The others had the upper hand as well but their hands were filled leaving them unable to come for their assist.

'RUN! AQUA RUN! Hurry! Save the Sparkling!' Radio sent over the link. Aqua began to run as the sparkling kept acting up screaming 'danni no'. As she turned around the bend in the boulder a towering mech known as Thrust appeared.

"Come here little femmes." He huskily taunted causing Aqua and the sparkling to shriek.

Radio's optics switched on and against Kinetix's protests rushed to where Aqua was. Thrust was holding Aqua by her throat and the sparkling clinging helplessly to Aqua's arms. With the little strength Radio had she fired her cannon at him and grabbed Aqua and the sparkling as they fell which left them lying on her body.

"Tie him up." Radio ordered weakly. Aqua sent her rings and bounded his hands and pedes. The sparkling clung to Radio's neck and whimpered into it.

"Danni." She hushed.

The Decepticons started to retreat and disappear into the late solar cycle sky. The femmes regrouped but did not let their guard completely down.

"Radio! You are too injured to fight, so if you would stop fighting me we could sedate you!" Kinetix growled and gave up so she just jabbed Radio with the needle and knocked her out.

Radio tried to fight it but submitted as a few recognizable Autobots appeared in the horizon. They were almost to the femmes when a mech 'Con made his way to grab FireRose from behind, before either could react he was blasted away and ran off. Optics turned to Radio who had one hand cannon out and one arm around the sparkling.

"Ffragging m-mechs.ʺ Radio grunted as she fell into recharge. Swiftwing, who was supporting Shadow, spoke up to the mechs.

"Um, maybe we all should get repaired and then answer questions." As if to show her point she slipped into recharge and fell to the ground with Shadow. FireRose looked to Optimus Prime trying to hold back a fangirl squeal and hug him.

"My troops and I would appreciate some assistance before you interrogate us." FireRose started calmly.

"Ow! What the—oh?" Clash! Kinetix, trying to fix the sedation needle, had stuck herself and passed out on top of Aqua, who due to the force went into recharge. The classic anime sweat-drop formed on the helms of FireRose and Nightblade.

"Figures that would happen to them." Nightblade said crossing her arms with a laid back smirk.

"Ironhide. Ratchet. Get Jolt and Red Alert! Also comm. MoonRacer to tell her to prepare for patients." Optimus ordered. Jolt and Red Alert went to the seekers while Ratchet made his way to Aqua and Kinetix. Ironhide went to move the sparkling but met a whirl of clicks in protest.

"NO! NO! Nnoo! No take Danni way from me! NONONO!" She squealed. Ironhide raised an optic ridge at the femmeling.

"Hush sweet spark. Behave." Radio mumbled trying to turn over to get comfy. Right away the sparkling calmed down and clicked with joy.

"Okie Danni!" The little one chirped. The sudden change in emotions gave Ironhide a helm-ache.

Ironhide held the sparkling in one arm and draped Radio over his left shoulder not noticing her energon leaking wound.

"Ironhide! Be careful! She has a bad side wound. Slag it. She should have stopped fighting right after she got that." Ratchet ranted as the ship landed nearby to pick them up. With Aqua over his right shoulder and Kinetix under his left, he rushed into the ship and set them against the ship's side. 'These are small femmes.' He thought to himself.

Jolt and Red Alert hauled the tiny seekers in and set them near the other two. Next came Ironhide with Radioactive and passed her over to Ratchet. Ratchet laid her down and quickly began to make temporary repairs.

"Danni!" The sparkling squeaked reaching out for Radio.

"No femmeling. You heard her. You have to behave. Go with Chromia, she will take care of you." Ironhide said as Chromia walked up and took the little femme and walked away. The sparkling's optics never left Radio's body. FireRose and Nightblade entered and fell into recharge at the feet of the others who were leaning against the wall of the ship.

"Well, who are these femme's? They're not younglings so where have they been?" Ironhide asked as his red form leaned against the opposite wall crossing his arms.

"I do not know but they are pretty small for femmes." Ratchet observed.

"We will have to wait to question them later, for now let them recharge. They have earned it." Optimus said appearing from behind. "Elita, have you ever seen these femmes?" He asked as the pink commander entered.

"No my Prime, I have not." Elita answered concerned for the new unknown femmes.

"Hmm." Optimus wordlessly replied. Elita, without another word, exited over to where Chromia was playing with the sparkling.

ʽOptimus, I know now is not really the time but why have you and Elita not spark bond?'Ironhide asked over the comm. out of pure curiosity. Honest concern filled his tone. He had noticed the lack of flirtation usually found in the conversations between the two commanders. Last he suspected they were fit to bond.

ʽYou are correct, now is not the time but if I must I must. We have grown apart so we broke it off at a mutual friendship and co-workers. Satisfied?'Optimus answered as he walked towards the pilot center taking one last look at the sleeping forms of the femmes before exiting the room.

He felt no upset over the question but wished that Ironhide had chosen a better time to talk over this. Truthfully, he supposed it was on himself for not informing his old friend on the change in his priorities. They were so close to ending the war that finding a bondmate may follow soon.

At the moment, the mystery of these femmes took his attention as did the safe journey back to Iacon base.

So people and Cybertronians alike; how the pit am I doing with this?

[Whoo that took a lot out of me. Battles are HARD! Upon my reading of this I noticed how odd and misplaced that conversation between Ironhide and Optimus was. Hopefully I fixed it. I did not want to get rid of it since there were no real other times to stick it in. I also noticed my lack of insight into Optimus and some of the characters. That is changing. Hope you like it! –Radio. ]
