Chapter 127
Super Starscream began his trek to the nearby city. He knew it was the hometown of those two Terraformers who had just put a large crater in X2's surface. They were going to pay for doing that.
Then again, he probably deserved it for trying to enslave them, but he didn't care right now.
"Rodimus Convoy!" he roared. "Face Me, Coward!"
"I'm right here," he replied. Super Starscream turned toward him, noticing that he was with Storm Gunner, Galaxy Convoy, Live Convoy, Emission, and a femme that he didn't recognize, but looked quite a lot like Chromia. "What do you want?" Rodimus asked.
"You damaged my home," Super Starscream growled. "Now I am here to destroy yours."
"You will do no such thing!" Storm Gunner yelled. "We had to destroy the generator! We're not allowed to give you any technology!"
"Enough!" Super Starscream bellowed, opening fire. The Cybertrons returned fire, but as angry as he was, Super Starscream was a great deal more powerful than before.
"We need a plan!" Storm Gunner shouted.
"I have a plan!" Rodimus called back. "RODIMUS CONVOY! SUPER MODE!"
"That won't work, Rodimus Convoy!" Super Starscream yelled.
"Watch me make it work!" Rodimus yelled back. "FORCE CHIP! IGNITION! THUNDER CLAW!" He raised his weapon into the air, energy surrounding him as lightning struck it. "THUNDER GROUND BREAK!"
Galaxy Convoy saw it coming, but it was too late. As Rodimus flew forward, he was met by Super Starscream's fist, knocking him back and cutting a grove into the ground where he landed. Tsunami whimpered slightly at the sight, worried. Galaxy Convoy put a hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." His words were proved right as Rodimus stood, shaking off the attack.
"Go back to where you belong, Super Starscream!" Storm Gunner yelled. "TRANSFORM! FORCE CHIP! IGNITION!" She flew towards Super Starscream, preparing to fire.
The ground shook as boulders flew through the air at Super Starscream's command. Storm Gunner tried to dodge, only to run into other rocks and get sent into the ground. Super Starscream continued to alternate between barrages of boulders and laser fire, forcing the Cybertrons to fall back and take cover.
"This is why I hate fighting," Tsunami muttered.
"I don't like it either," Galaxy Convoy said. "But I have the ability to help protect others from those like him. It is my responsibility, which is why I do it."
"I envy the femme who becomes your sparkmate," Tsunami said, noticing Galaxy Convoy blush slightly. She turned away, knowing that she was blushing too. Why did I say that? What makes him seem so different? It's as if he's just like me. What is in his past that I can sense that makes him seem that way?
In their own area, Rodimus worked furiously to repair Storm Gunner's arm that had been damaged by one of Super Starscream's blasts. "You've got to be more careful," he told her "There, is that better?"
Storm Gunner flexed her arm and nodded, "Fully repaired. Thank you." She looked hesitant for a moment, and then said, "Rodimus, there's only one way we can win here."
He looked at her, "What are you talking about?"
"When I became Storm Gunner, I didn't just base my form off Sonic Bomber, I also based it off of you," she explained. "There's only one way we can stop him. Rodimus, Link Up with me."
Were it not for the plate in front off his mouth, she would have seen Rodimus Convoy's jaw drop before he asked, "Hey! Did that boulder hit you on the head?"
She laughed, "Yes, but that's beside the point."
Rodimus shook his head, "Storm Gunner, Link Up isn't something you can just do. Forms have to be compatible for Transformers to Link Up. Even if we can, we'd still have to escape Super Starscream's attacks to Link Up without getting damaged in the process."
"So we fly up and behind him," Storm Gunner suggested. She knew the real reason why he was nervous; for the same reason she was. If they did this, they would wield incredible amounts of power. Could they actually withstand that much power, or would it destroy them if they tried. Some Transformers had tried Link Up experiments, only to die because they couldn't contain that much raw power.
Eventually, Rodimus nodded, "All right. Let's do it. Soushireikan! Give us some cover fire!" They jumped into the air, moving carefully to avoid Super Starscream's attacks.
Tsunami grabbed her blasters, "FORCE CHIP! IGNITION!" Her Earth Force Chip went into the slot on one of her guns. Both opened up in a manner just like Galaxy Convoy's left cannon as she raised them skyward, "LUNAR WAVE!" Her twin blasts incinerated several rocks before the barrage of boulders could hit their intended targets.
Galaxy Convoy followed her example, "FORCE CHIP! IGNITION! GALAXY CANNON – FULL BLAST!"
Live Convoy and Emission hurried to follow, "FORCE CHIP! IGNITION!"
"HOMING MISSILE!"
"SHADOW SNIPE!"
As before, Super Starscream turned some of his concentration towards them, and they had to duck behind their shelters once more.
Rodimus saw it and began to worry, "They're faltering!"
"Stay focused," Storm Gunner said. "We need to break through!"
They began to work together, flying in sync to avoid or destroy as many boulders as possible. Super Starcream sent a final barrage at them, but they had a plan. Grasping each other's shoulders, they began to spin in a small circle, calling out, "FORCE CHIP! IGNITION!"
Their plan was to use Rodimus Convoy's Cyclone Turbine to funnel and enhance Storm Gunner's Caliber Flame. This created a new attack, as a tornado of fire engulfed Super Starscream's boulders, and even made the Titan step back from the heat.
"CYCLONE FLAME!"
They flew through the smoke their attack had crated, seeing nothing but clear sky. "Now's our chance!" Storm Gunner smiled.
"Let's go!" Rodimus replied.
"STORM GUNNER!"
Because she had scanned Sonic Bomber when she became a Terraformer, Storm Gunner's transformation was the same as the male Cybertron's. The only difference was that she kept all her weapons on her wings, rather than letting two guns break off. Unlike Galaxy Convoy, Rodimus didn't have a place on his feet for them to attach.
"RODIMUS CONVOY!"
His weapons pack disengaged, flying away. Carefully, he maneuvered himself so that he was right in front of Storm Gunner.
"LINK UP!"
She connected to his back, where his weapons pack used to be. Her chestplate fell down over his shoulders and across his chest, widening to fit him. It was a strange feeling. It was like she was riding co-pilot, but he could feel everything she did. He could feel her thrusters roaring with power, her weapons armed and ready, her mind right next to him.
She trusted him with her power and abilities, and he would not let her down. With her by his side, he was unstoppable, like a raging storm.
"STORM CONVOY!"
