Chapter 110
The first thing Rodimus was aware of when he woke was that there was someone next to him, their arms wrapped around him. Activating his optics, he turned to see a smiling face that looked a lot like Lori's face, but it wasn't her. It was definitely a female Transformer next to him, but he didn't know who she was. She was probably related to Sonic Bomber, he guessed, as they looked alike. He tried to pull away, but only succeeded in waking her up. She smiled at him before saying, "Hello, Coby."
That she knew his name, looked like her, and sounded like her, shocked him. His optics widened as he asked, "Lori?"
She changed to Human form and back to show him, and then hugged him tighter, "I'm here, Coby. I'm here."
Unable to help himself, Rodimus buried his face in her shoulder, crying in relief. When he felt better, he chuckled, "Actually, that's Rodimus Convoy, Lori."
"Storm Gunner," she corrected.
"I like it," he told her. "It suits you well."
"Thanks," she said, kissing him softly. However, one kiss quickly led to another, and soon they were making out once more. Rodimus let his hands explore her new features. She shuddered in pleasure as he found a sensitive spot where her wings met her back. Storm Gunner, in turn, took the opportunity to explore him as well, running her hands over his shoulder spikes, and across his chest plate. She had never felt his Transformer body before, and it was quite the experience now that she could.
Much later, they broke off, opting to relax against each other. They had never been so close before, and they were enjoying this new level in their relationship. Storm Gunner rested her head against Rodimus Convoy's chest, hearing the hum of his internal systems. "We should do this more often."
"Get killed, or make out?" Rodimus asked.
"The latter," she answered. Eventually, they fell asleep, content with being in each others arms.
Farther away, Cannonball and his crew entered the bridge of the Lemuria. "Shortround, pilot this thing. Brushguard, navigation. Skywarp, sensors. Hardtop, you take port side batteries, and Swindle, you get the Starboard side batteries. Runamuck, I want you on the forward batteries."
Chromia's plan was simple. Once she revived the crew, they would take the Lemuria and use it to set fire to Animatros' jungles. They were going to burn out the Resistance and destroy them. To help, Black Nitro Convoy would be in the engine room, transferring power from Planet Force to the Lemuria's cannons.
Cannonball took his place in the captain's chair, "All right, let's spread the word. And the word is: Death. Open Fire!"
The first few shots from the Lemuria woke Rodimus and Storm Gunner. They both stood, watching in shock as the ship's cannons began setting fire to the jungle. While she was a self-proclaimed city girl, Storm Gunner always had a soft spot for forests. "This is horrible."
"So let's stop them," Rodimus said. "RODIMUS CONVOY! TRANSFORM!"
"STORM GUNNER! TRANSFORM!"
As they speed off, the Lemuria's scanners instantly picked them up. Several cannons opened fire at them, but they were too fast in the sky.
Transforming, Storm Gunner began focusing her special ability in her hands. "Lets see how they like this!" she said, firing one of the most powerful sonic currents she could. It gathered strength as in neared the ship, so that it shook the ship when it struck.
"What the hell was that?" Cannonball asked rhetorically. "Bellay that! Damage report!"
"No damage," Shortround reported. "It was a sonic current, meant to shake us up."
"Those two targets have vanished to," Skywarp said. "No signs of infiltration. Maybe we hit them."
Cannonball ground his teeth. Something was missing, but what?
"Why are we crawling through this cramped space?" Storm Gunner asked.
"This is one of the garbage chutes," Rodimus answered. "There's no sensors here, and it leads strait to the Engine Room." When the got there, Rodimus took a peek in. "Damn!" he whispered. "Black Nitro Convoy is in there, and he has Planet Force!"
"I have an idea," Storm Gunner whispered back.
Rodimus listened, and grinned. Pushing back the cover to the chute, being sure to make some nose, he climbed out coughing. Black Nitro Convoy turned, surprised. Rodimus coughed a few more times for effect before pointing at the open chute and saying, "Do you have any idea how stuffy it is in there?" Black Nitro Convoy's optics narrowed, and he stepped forward, Planet Force in one hand, his blaster in the other. "Look," Rodimus began to say as he backed up, keeping the open chute between him and Black Nitro Convoy, "I know we got off to a rocky start, but between you and me, that's where I just woke up. I have no idea how I got in there."
Black Nitro Convoy intended to step over the chute. He didn't expect Storm Gunner to grab his foot, pull him in, drive her reinforced crown plating between his optics, knocking him out, take Planet Force, and then let him fall down the chute as she climbed out, but that's what happened. Storm Gunner smiled as she held up the green and gold disk, "Look what I found."
Rodimus smiled and walked over to the control panel. Flipping a few switches, he cut the power to all the ship's weapons.
Cannonball's voice came over the speakers, "Black Nitro Convoy, what happened? Why don't we have weapons?"
"Do you have more tricks?" Rodimus asked Storm Gunner. She smiled before whispering in his audio receptor. He grinned, grabbing the nessesary tools while she hit the intercom.
"Cannonball," she said, perfectly imitating Chromia's voice, "I want you and all of your crew down here now."
They came as quickly as they could, and when they got there, Rodimus and Storm Gunner were ready. First, Rodimus dumped barrels of oil on them soaking them. While they yelled at him, Storm Gunner stepped forward.
"FORCE CHIP! IGNITION!" Her black rimmed Earth Force Chip went into the slot on her back gun. It came up over her head and opened, just like Sonic Bomber's, except while he had a more powerful gun, she now had a flamethrower. "CALIBER FLAME!"
Her flames ignited the oil, severely burning Cannonball and his crew. After that, it was a short matter of shoving them down the garbage chute, restoring power to weapons, and getting on the bridge. Storm Gunner eagerly got into the pilot's seat as Rodimus took the captain's chair. "Storm Gunner, take us out!"
Planet Force and the Lemuria had been retaken.
