One of their bigger platoon mates asked after Kup explained the rules "Why do we have protoforms in our platoon Sir? They're so small I doubt they can do much." There was a touch of contempt and arrogance in his voice.
Kup almost flinched, small they were, but extraordinarily powerful but the carefully neutral expressions on what little of their faceplates he could see, made him relax slightly. "Size does not always equate power or strength. The Cyber Ninjas, for example are usually slighter than most bots."
"But they aren't are they? Ever since that leader of theirs what's-his-name, Yuke-something died… Err disappeared." Piped up a second platoon member.
"master Yuketron," Steven stated, a trace of a growl in his vocal units, which alerted Steven, Meralon and Panthira that Steven was very angry, "Is alive and on a mission currently."
"Actually since U- someone was found Master Yuketron is back here, or he was, but he might have gotten another mission." Sari interrupted, psychically telling him to cool down.
Kup intervened with instructions, "Now recruits, just a reminder, you cannot fly over open patches, this is a simulation of a battle field but there is no live ammo. Do not leave your partner unless you both have another with you. Is that clear? If you and your partner get to the finish line first, you will get a reward, the last pair has to do twenty five transform ups. Ready? Go!" right before Kup uttered the last word Sari had a quick mental conference and the course of get back was unanimously decided upon, and they nodded physically in confirmation. For a moment four recruits did not move as the others all scrambled into the maze like simulation. A huge roaring sound deafened the rest of the platoon as the new recruits charged ahead.
Kup was mildly surprised at the cunning of Sari and Steven, though along with the massive amounts of powerful abilities, they were intelligent rather than used their might to get their way or revenge on another.
Steven and Sari went right at a two way turn, Meralon and Panthira went left. After a while Sari and Steven reached a room with many doors. One door was ajar and through it, light filtered in. This was the transfer of partner's room. Neither wanted to switch out, but they wanted to wait for Panthira and Meralon (their fellow spies in training). A couple hours later the duo realized that they were far ahead of the others, so Sari asked "Steven, do you want to race to the finish line?"
Steven smiled behind his mask "you're on." They flew side by side as fast as they could, and waited, alone, but for each other.
Separately Lockdown and Swindle answered Megatron's call for any Decepticon up for a dangerous mission. The only reason they took the job was because of the HUGE reward posted. The specifics weren't posted so they went to Earth and asked him about it at the same time.
"I want the techno organic, designation Sari, to be brought here, from Cybertron, online and functioning well. The Autobot scum has her in there strongest hold. This I will not allow. So I send you two to fetch her and bring her before me." Megatron informed them.
"The Autobot stronghold you mention, is it Iacon? Why do you wish for that young creature any how?" Swindle asked curiously, and then added hastily, by the unexpectedly enraged Decepticon leader, "Sir."
"Sari is my younger sibling. I found this out by our spy in the Autobot stronghold of Cybertron. That is where she is, and where you will go, should you choose to accept this assignment."
The two instantly agreed to go and fetch said youngling and immediately set off, her rough coordinates provided again by the spy. Shockwave may have been captured, but his apprentice had not been, much to the delight of Megatron. He also gave them special tracker so they could find her exact location.
Lockdown and Swindle quietly approached Sari "Are you going to come quietly, or do we have to hurt you?" Lockdown threatened.
Sari whirled to face the Decepticon s did Steven, inadvertently allowing Swindle to scan the both of them,
"LOCKDOWN!" Swindle shouted, "We were right. The mech is another techno organic!"
Sari turned to face Swindle while Steven faced the ex student and disgraced former Cyber Ninja Lockdown. Lockdown tried to use his foam on Steven who evaded the substance. Sari was avoiding some of Swindle's merchandise but was about to be stunned when Steven activated his projector and projected an image of himself nearer to Swindle who fired at the projection allowing Sari to get away. The weapon Swindle used was a strange white beam weapon that made Sari freeze.
Sari demanded, a flicker of emotion in her voice that none present could identify "How did you get a piece?!" the question was a demand.
Swindle's smile was feral "I was on Earth and I found a piece. I figured it could be very useful to have a piece and kept it. I studied it for a while and turned it into a weapon. I'm not going to sell it though. There isn't enough energon in the universe to make me part with that particular beauty." The two different groups fought one another until Sari was tossed against a wall and hit an emergency button. She knew it was an emergency button because of the word emergency on it. Directly afterwards Sari threw herself back into the fray to stop the Decepticons from ganging up on Steven.
As the alarm klaxon blared their location, Swindle fired a grappling hook with an energy spike attached. It was a desperate move, but his eyes glittered, even though the entire camp was descending upon him and Lockdown. He viciously ripped the energy spike free and Sari heard a howl of pain behind her. Steven had collapsed, clutching at his spark chamber. It was much different than the other spark chambers. It was a mixture of Autobot and Human, his two valves pumped oil and blood, which was pouring out of him at an alarming rate. Completely forgetting where she was, she dropped to her friend's side and gently pushed her key into the worst of his injury.
"Y-your key w-won't work." Steven murmured, "You said it worked on Autobots. I'm techno organic, a-as you w-well know."
Sari heard him, but did not believe that she was going to lose one of her friends. Focusing harder on healing her friend, a bright light flashed from her pocket to her key and into the injury. The pain in Steven's optics went away; a peaceful expression was on his faceplates as he fell asleep gently.
After the flash cleared her optics, she noticed immediately that Steven was not fully healed, but the injury wasn't likely to kill him in the next five minutes, but he was going to need some expert help. She knew of only one bot on Cybertron who could help him.
The adults saw the two battered young ones, though the femme seemed to be in better condition. She was at any rate, standing, or rather crouching defensively over the mech who appeared to be in a pool of oil. Neither moved, though the femme growled at any who tried to come close. Kup came forward and the femme stood down. Kup barely recognized the two, but when he did, Kup asked "What happened Sari?"
"Lockdown and Swindle came out of no where and attacked us. They were after me and when I resisted going with them, they attacked us. Steven battled Lockdown, and I battled Swindle. It was a stalemate until swindle fired a energy spike attached to a cable. He tore it out of Steven, near his spark chamber, and they both fled." She broke of for a moment, then explained the extent of Steven's injury.
"But he isn't that injured now. How is that possible?" One of the medics enquired.
"I…I stabilized him. He was to be taken to Wrench, Steven's … Um… Steven is very unique and Wrench is the only one with experience with Steven's model." Sari explained.
They all knew she was hiding things, but she was telling the truth so they took Steven to the Metroplex to get treated. To no one's surprise Sari asked if she could accompany Steven and the medix to the Metroplex. Kup drove her there, wanting to know if his recruit would be able to continue training.
To Kup's eternal surprise, Sari seemed neither wary of entering nor shy to go through the doors. Sari casually walked through the doors, heading towards the medical bay without being told where it was. Not one of the guards stopped her either, and a few greeted her, in a friendly way, by name.
Jazz, an Elite guard ninja sauntered over and asked curiously "What's shakin' little lady?"
"Steven and I got jumped by Lockdown and Swindle." Sari answered "Steven needs medical attention and I told him that Wrench was the only one could help. He's like me."
"Why didn't ya use your key?" Jazz asked.
"I did, that's why he didn't die. Swindle got him with an energy spike on a cable near the spark chamber." Sari answered.
"You're pretty banged up yourself. Boss isn't gonna be happy if you don't get checked over." Jazz admonished.
"Which one?" Sari asked, a small smile in her voice.
"All of them. Look, there a couple of them are." Jazz responded, nodding over towards Yuketron and Sentinel came over (a/n Ultra Magnus was stuck in a meeting) both of whom came over.
"Who hurt you Sari?" Yuketron asked gently.
"And tell me their designations so I can get them." Sentinel finished with a growl in his voice.
Jazz interrupted, "I'll tell ya later. But Sari, go to the medical bay, you should get checked over to make sure you don't have any internal injuries." After Sentinel and Yuketron stated similar admonishments she grumbled and told them that she would go to the infirmary.
After Jazz, Yuketron and Sentinel left and Sari and Kup went to the infirmary, Sari's servos fidgeted fretfully.
"Recruit Sari." Kup murmured gently, "Your friend is in good servos."
"Thank you Sir." Sari answered, knowing that she was being 'reassured'.
"Why do you always have you battle helmet on?" Kup asked, curious, but also wanted to distract the femme from worrying about her friend for as long as he could.
"How do you feel about organics?" Sari asked, seeming to be very off topic.
"I feel that the hysteria is uncalled for and that there could be a sentient race, which I would like very much to meet, why?" Kup answered, wondering silently where this conversation was heading.
"If I retract my helmet, I go into my alternate mode. For a while this mode was my alternate. Steven is… Similar which is why Wrench is the only one who can help him as he has had experience with those like Steven and I. I- I'll show you, it would be difficult to explain." Sari answered awkwardly.
She was about to transform when a concerned Sentinel came over to them again, "Jazz told me what happened. Steven is gong to be fine and those… Con's will be captured and brought to justice."
Sentinel fell in step with the two and waited with an astonished Kup and after a check by one of the medical staff, Sari would need a good recharge cycle and a repaint, but that was about it for her injuries.
A couple hours later Wrench found Sari and a very curious Kup, (a/n curious as to how Sari knew several important Autobots and exactly the numbers of stated group). He couldn't ask those questions as she was getting repainted at the time. (1)
"Steven will be completely healed half way through the solar cycle tomorrow. The reason for his quick recovery is due in part to what I and the nurses did, and what you did as well. He will, in fact be stronger than he was before because of what you did to him."
"Thanks Wrench. Can I see him?" Sari asked quietly.
After the two arrived, Wrench left them, telling them truthfully that he had to attend a council meeting.
"What were going to tell me earlier before Sentinel Prime interrupted you? How do you know him, Jazz, and Master Yuketron? (2) How many others in this place do you know? Who are your creators?" Kup queried, he had never seen anybot know so many diversely powerful bots in his long life.
Sari paused, shuttered her optics and transformed. Here electric blue eyes met Kup's astonished pair, and retied her long copper hair into its ponytail. Her dress was the color of her paint job. Sari was undeniably techno organic and her organic half was her alternate mode.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Cliff hanger of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!
Do you want Sari to have a new paint job, if so what color or colors?
Kup calls him that as a respect for his station, and that is in fact Yuketron's title.
