I don't own the OCs Jetstream, Wingblade, Leo or Nightshadow, they belong to Leonightis!
Chapter 4: Shattered Anger
When Kenny got back to the HQ, he saw Bloodbath talking to Brawl and Barricade near the training room. They seemed rather concerned.
"Hey guys what's up?" Kenny asked them.
"Uh...nothing much Ken!" Bloodbath said tapping his claws together.
"Bloodbath, something must be up, I can tell when you're nervous!" Kenny said crossing his arms.
Barricade and Brawl didn't say a word. Kenny gave them his version of a confused face.
"Guys?"
"Kenny, are you up for sparring?" Bloodbath asked.
"Um, sure I got nothing better to do why? Which one of you do I have to take down?"
"Not us...Soundwave." Barricade finally spoke up.
"SOUNDWAVE? But...but why? I can't beat him!" Kenny said shocked.
"We know, but he wants to test your strength." Bloodbath said. "Both of ours!"
"Both? You mean...you and me against him?"
"Yeah...but don't worry, we can work together to take him. It should be fun!" Bloodbath assured his little brother.
Kenny felt better knowing he was being helped this time. Previously Kenny had sparred with Bloodbath and a few other vehicons. However he couldn't beat Bloodbath...but the other miner vehicons were no problem. Soundwave arrived to meet the two.
"You guys ready?" Soundwave asked hiding a smirk.
"Y-yeah...I guess!" Kenny said as they entered the training room while Brawl and Barricade stayed outisde.
"They're dead!" Brawl sighed.
Kenny and Bloodbath stood on one end, and Soundwave stood on the other. Kenny couldn't believe they were actually doing this. This was Soundwave, leader of this gang. Unless they were getting a promotion or something. But gangs don't often offer promotions. Before they knew it, Soundwave charged at them. Bloodbath jumped up and tried to land a kick but Soundwave whacked Bloodbath in the chest knocking him to the ground. Kenny dodged Soundwave's arm blades and tried to throw punches and swipes but Soundwave blocked them all. Bloodbath ran up behind Soundwave and attempted to knock him down but Soundwave spun around drop-kicking Bloodbath in the face. Kenny went for Soundwave's legs in an attempt to trip him and suceeded. Soundwave hit the ground but moved out of the way when Kenny tried to jump on him. Kenny hit the floor and Soundwave tried to pin him down with his tentacles.
"Ugh, Kenny get him!" Bloodbath said from nearbye.
"I can't do it!" Kenny said desperately holding onto the tentacles as they began to wrap around his arms.
Soundwave smirked behind his mask and knew he was winning. The tentacles were strong, very strong. Kenny was losing energy quickly. He stared holes through Soundwave's mask. Somehow, Kenny could faintly see a smirk right behind the mask. The smirk was similar to ones some mechs made when Kenny was getting beaten up by them. In fact, Kenny remembers being extremely angry when they made that evil smile. Suddenly he found a burst of energy remembering all his painful times. His claws began digging into the tentacles. The smirk disappeared.
"Kenny?" Bloodbath called out walking cautiously over.
"Yield already!" Soundwave warned feeling the pain of Kenny's claws.
"NO!" Kenny yelled angrily.
Kenny suddenly shot his arm up, taking the tentacles with him and-
CRACK!
Kenny proceeds to punch straight through Soundwave's visor shattering it to pieces revealing his face. The tentacles become badly damaged as well. Soundwave shot up and stumbled back onto the ground. But Kenny, in a fit of rage, attacks him.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kenny starts beating on Soundwave furiously.
Bloodbath tackles Kenny away from Soundwave while Brawl and Barricade run to help thier leader. Kenny was now crying in Bloodbath's arms.
"Kenny? What happened? Why did you do that?" Bloodbath asked in a calm way.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to...it's just...you don't know how many times I've experienced people on top of me the way he was. I was always pinned down and tortured to death. And I saw Soundwave's face, his smirk, his optics...I just snapped...but I didn't mean to just beat on him like that...I got to go!" Kenny broke away from Bloodbath, out the training room and down the hallway to his room. Bloodbath is still in shock when Soundwave finally gets up. Lazerbeak was okay but worried for Soundwave.
"Soundwave sir, are you okay?" Bloodbath asked.
"I'm fine, but...where did he go?" Soundwave asked.
"I'm guessing to his room. He was just angry at how you had him pinned and apparently he could see through your visor. Though none of us could!" Bloodbath explained. "He's sorry and he hopes you're not angry!"
"Angry? I'm not angry? I'm actually impressed that he had the strength to beat me...he actually beat me!" Soundwave said smiling.
"The first one ever to!" Brawl said.
"What are you to say to him?" Barricade asked.
"Well, I should tell him to be proud. And it seems as though Kenny is still learning to master all of his hidden powers. Apparently his strength exceeds us all...he's growing." Soundwave explained with a smile.
Far away from Tyger Pax, Trapper continued to follow Jetstream all the way back to Kaon. Jetstream wanted to get to Kenny quickly, but then decided he's probably safe with his gang...for now. They hadn't spoken much to each other.
"So, what do you know of Kenny?" Jetstream asked.
"Rumors say that he helped to exile Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Jazz and Mirage from Tyger Pax. He's been abused his entire life but somehow he's survived them all. The kid is like...invincible or something." Trapper said.
"I see..." Jetstream said interested in what Trapper knew. "The stories must be true."
Suddenly Jetstream sense someone nearbye.
"Trapper, do you hear something?"
"No why?"
"It sounds like trouble!"
Trapper checked his surroundings before spotting a helicopter flying overhead.
"What the...?" Trapper screeches to a stop.
Jetstream turns around to see the flyer and charges him thinking it's another jet vehicon. Jetstream knocks the helicopter to the ground where he transforms.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR JET?" The helicopter, who was actually Trips, snarled.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FOLLOWING US?" Jetstream growls.
Jetstream then shoves Trips hard nearly making the mech fall.
"NO ONE SHOVES ME LIKE THAT!" Trips snarls tackling Jetstream.
But before a scuffle could start, Trapper runs over and grabs Trips away.
"TRIPS STOP! I'M HELPING HIM!" Trapper yells.
Trips, upon remembering Trapper was there, calmed down.
"Why?" Trips asked. "I thought you were out for a drive."
"I was until I ran into him. He found Kenny's house and we were going there to gather info and defeat some of these silver show-offs." Trapper said.
Trips looked back at Jetstream who walked over.
"Oh...look I didn't really want to start anything." Trips sighed.
"Me neither I'm sorry for shoving you." Jetstream said.
"Well Trapper, if he also believes, then I do too!" Trips said.
"Finally! And you thought I was always crazy." Trapper laughed.
"Come on, the more we wait around, the less time we have to stop them. But first...I need to make a call to my brother WingBlade." Jetstream said getting on his comm. link.
"Jetstream? Is that you?"
"Hey Wingblade, I need you help!"
"Sure...with what exactly?"
"You wouldn't happen to know how many jet vehicons have been coming around areas like Kaon, Tyger Pax or even Iacon do ya?"
"I've seen a few! They can really do some damage to a mech. Especially if it's a group of them. Hey have you found out any of those Kenny myths?"
"Indeed, in fact I found his old house but it's being taken over by those silver rustbuckets."
"WOW! Uh-er...I mean...that's a shame. What are you going to do?"
"Beat the slag out of them of course!"
"That's my bro!"
"Yep, so how's everything been since I left?"
"Well, Leo got attacked by Knock Out and some vehicons. Me and Nightshadow tried to stop them but Knock Out's friend Breakdown blocked our path. We had to help him to a med bay."
Jetstream paused for a moment.
"You still there?"
"Yeah...just...I wish I was there!"
"Jetstream it's okay, he should be fine! We're all fine over here, you go and save Kenny! Don't let that jet gang win!"
"Oh they won't be alive when I'm done with them. We got to go, goodnight brother."
"Goodnight Jetstream!"
Jetstream ended the call and looked at the others who looked worried.
"You okay?" Trips asked.
"Yeah...come on, we're losing time!"
Jetstream and the other two transformed and continued down the hallway.
To be continued...
To Leonightis I hope this didn't interfere with your story in any way. For all readers, I'm bringing in a character that is featured in the Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye comics to be a helper of all the evil jet vehicons. Can you guess who it is? Hint: One-eyed Autobot and is pretty much insane.
