It's been awhile after everything had happened at Darkmount. But things have been Getting a lot better for Team prime with the return of both Optimus and Grimlock. Plus's with the New additions to the Autobot ranks.
Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack returned to base, both transforming back into their bi-pedal forms. "We couldn't find much..." Ultra Magnus sighed, disappointed. He had only brought back a single cube of Energon.
"You call this not much?" Wheeljack chuckled as he holds a lob and then lobbed it at Grimlock who wasn't paying attention. It ricocheting off of him and right at Miko.
*CRASH*
"MIKO!!!" Bulkhead panicked but let out a sigh of relief when Miko gave him a thumbs up, the ball of scrap having barely missed her.
"Wheeljack!! You could have caused some damage!! What were you thinking?!" Asked Ratchet. He was mad and it's not good when the doc gets mad.
Grimlock grabs the ball like a basket ball and then tosses it near a wall, leaving it there for later.
"Maybe later we can play some lobbing." Whispers sludge to Swoop and Snarl. He hasn't done lobbing in a long time. They both nod and grin a bit.
"Optimus put me in charge of putting up with loose canons such as yourself. If you're not satisfied with the arrangement, feel free to choose the path of least resistance." Ultra Magnus glared, tension being in the air.
"I'd do that if I could... *sir*." Wheeljack walked off.
"Jackie..." Bulkhead sighs a bit. Even though he loves his best friend, he sometimes wishes he wouldn't make the Commander so mad.
Later...
Miko was talking about how awesome it would be for everyone to be able to fly like Optimus." I don't need some jet pack kid, I'm already able to fly." Said Swoop.
"So can dreadwing." Slug said as he was moving some stuff around.
Dreadwing was in the corner of the room sharpening his blade. One must keep there weapons in too condition at all times if they wish to win in a fight.
Smokescreen suddenly drove in with new colors. "So... what do you think?"
Arcee stared at him, saying what everyone in the room was thinking. "You look like scrap."
Everyone chuckled a bit at this." She's right rookie, you don't look good with that paint job." Said Grimlock as he pats him on the back while accidentally knocking him to the ground hard. He's still adjusting to his new power and strength." Sorry." He said.
Smokescreen groans from the pain. He then gets up but struggled a bit." It's fine grim." He said as he starts walking away.
"Before you leave soldier, Go and stack those empty cubes." Ordered Ultra Magnus. Smokescreen can't catch a break today.
Later...
Optimus bridged back with a skull. He placed down the predacon fossil.
"It cannot be..." Ratchet gasped.
Optimus narrowed his optics. "Shockwave most likely plans on cloning the predacons- extracting their dna from their ancient remains and duplicating it. We must keep these fossils away from decepticon hands at all costs."
"Wait, how did the predacons Get here to earth?" Asked Jack who still can't believe that those beasts were once on earth.
"Shockwave. He must have made some in the past and they were all sent here." Said Grimlock as he growls a bit in anger just from saying his name.
Later...
Ratchet was in deep focus, looking at his synthetic energon formula. He shuddered, having bad memories of the stuff.
"You okay Doc?" Asked Swoop as he walks over to Ratchet. He doesn't know about what Ratchet went through.
"I am... considering reverting back to the synthen formula but I am afraid of my past mistakes." He looked down with a sigh.
"Listen Doc, if that stuffed messed you up the first time, I don't think you should be taking it again." Said Swoop as he tries to reason with him.
"Perhaps your right, but I will not stop trying to perfect it." Said Ratchet. That's a good enough answer.
Agent Fowler walks into the room."Prime! Satellites picked up two different decepticon activity hotspots. One at an oil rig and one all the way in Scotland." He explained. "So pack your kilts."
Ultra Magnus looked at Optimus. "What's a kilt?"
._. He thinks for a moment and then Optimus turns to him. "Agent Fowler can at times be oblique. I find it best to simply nod and mobilize." He explained. He then turns to Grimlock." Grimlock, I need you to go with the wreckers and assist them."
Grimlock nods as he then turns to the other Dinobots.
"Dinobots, your coming with me." He ordered.
"Understood boss." Said Slug as he gets ready to leave.
"This will be a good Chance for me to stretch out my wings." Said Swoop with a grin.
Ultra Magnus and the Wreckers leave while Grimlock and his team head over to the groundbridge since they won't fit in the ship, but Grimlock is stopped by Arcee." Stay safe out there." She said.
He nods." I will." He said as he leaves with his team through the groundbridge.
Later...
When Ultra Magnus' ship arrived at the location, it landed next to the mouth of a deep ravine, one which Wheeljack proceeded to canonball into. "YEEHAW!!!"
"Does he not understand the chain of command? I didn't authorize him to advance." Ultra Magnus scoffed.
"Uh, maybe he's trying to show you how much he's improved so he can impress you?" Suggested Bulkhead who is trying hard to Make Ultra Magnus and Jackie not hate each other.
Grimlock and his team had arrived a minute before them and was there."You don't need an order to do what you need to do." Said Grimlock as he walks past the two and then looks down the ravine.
"Optimus may have put you in charge of the dinobots but this is still my mission." Ultra Magnus insisted. "You shall take charge when I am not present. Understood?"
The dinobots looked at each other and laughed a bit, snickering. Grimlock turns back and then walks over to him and looks down at him." I don't take orders from you and none of my dinobots will either." He said in a bit of a threatening tone.
Bulkhead slowly scoots away from ultra Magnus, just in case something bad happens Like Grimlock ends up punching Magnus into a hole he made.
"I think the Optimus wanna be is gonna blow a fuse." Swoop said as a joke which got some laughs from the team.
Ultra Magnus' face went completely blue when they called him an Optimus wannabe, energon boiling in anger.
Grimlock heard some gun fire and then runs and jumps down and lands on a con. The dinobots found Magnus expression to be quite funny, they then all follow there leader and all canon ball down ravin and landing on decepticons just like their leader.
"We should join them down there, sir." Said Bulkhead who tries to make Magnus calm down.
"Those cons were to weak. Kinda wish we had some Insecticons to fight." Said Slug as he leans against a rocky wall.
"Same here slug." Said Sludge as he crushed a cons body like a soda can.
Ultra Magnus just sighed in defeat as he began climbing down with Bulkhead.
"Proceed with extreme caution."
Bulkhead nods, but then slips and falls all the way down."Ow." Said Bulkhead as he gets up.
There was a knocking sound coming from...wheeljacks chest?? Miko poked her head out. "Woo! Remind me to never do that again."
"MIKO!?"
"This human is much braver than I thought." Said Slug who is a bit impressed by this.
"I was wondering when you'd show up like you always do miko." Said Grimlock as he chuckled a bit. Guess some people never change.
"What could have possibly compelled you to bring the human!?" Ultra Magnus was *not* happy. But then again, when is he?:3
"She asked to come along." Wheeljack shrugged.
"She's part of the wrecker team magnus. So it makes sense for her to come along." Said Grimlock who was grinning a bit under his mask.
"Plus we already cleared out the cons, sir." Said Bulkhead trying to defuse the situation.
Ultra Magnus narrowed his optics at them, pondering before proceeding into the cave with them.
"Is this it?" Miko held up the rock :3
"No." -_-
"Oh." ;-; she then tosses it to the side.
"Just like old times, right Jackie?" Asked Bulkhead as he try's to start a conversation.
Grimlock and Sludge had to crouch down a bit when eating the cave." You two are like walking tanks." Said Swoop. A few of the Dinobots laugh.
Wheeljack sighed. "When I came to earth, all I could think about was getting back together with our brothers... this isn't what I had in mind. You made a good call- leaving before it all went to scrap."
The cave suddenly shook, Miko falling over.
Swoop caught her before bulkhead could." That was close kid."
"What caused that?" Asked Slug as he feels the cave shake again.
Grimlock heard a screeching sound. He then felt the cave shake more. Whatever was doing that, was getting closer."Everyone, Get going now and Dinobots, keep the others safe." Ordered Grimlock.
Swoop was about to object, but then didn't because he trusts his leaders decision. Swoop starts running while holding miko.
Sludge runs after swoop the best he can while Slug,slash, and snarl transform and run on all fours, except slash.
The predacon came rushing through the caves, screeching and screaming at them, a swell of fire firing up within his throat.
Grimlock transforms and then bellows a mighty and powerful roar as the fire in him prepares to be unleashed upon the predacon. The two's fires blasted at one another in prolonged beams, pushing each other at their connection like DBZ. Grimlocks uses his Anger and his flames grow stronger. He then starts walking towards the Predacon. The Creature was pushed back, unable to withstand the Dinobot.
Once Grimlock got close enough, he rams his head into the Predacons long neck and then starts pushing him out of the cave.
The predacon slashed at him with his claws, screeching and shrieking at him.
Grimlock roars in pain, but then bites down on his arm. He eventually made it out of the cave with the beast. He then let's go and roars at him.
The Beast was about to attack him but then smelled something. He then ends up flying off to check out what he smelled.
Grimlock roars at him as he watches the predacon fly away. He then transforms back to robot mode."Coward." He said. He then decided to go after the beast. He starts climbing up the rock wall.
The beast saw Starscream fighting the human and rolled his optics. Of course *he's* losing to one. He swooped down and pinned Miko down and started setting her on fire, well trying to anyway.
Once grimlock got to the top, He saw this and then Yell's In anger and charges at the Group of cons and the one beast."Pick on someone your own size!" He said as he yeets the Forge at the Beast hard. Causing the Predacon to be knocked down.
Swoop flew out of the hole that was in the cave him and the Dinobots found. He decided to check on miko since they haven't heard from her in awhile. Plus he was getting the fossil Optic back to the ship. Once he spots the others, he immediately fires rockets at the Beast and the cons. But doing this he accidentally dropped the eye and it rolled near the beast.
The beast took the eye and flew off. Starscream and his Vehicons did a strategic retreat and not because they were scared of Grimlock.
"That's right! Run away!" Miko threatened, jumping with the apex armor.
Grimlock watched this and sighs a bit. He then picks up the forge and puts it on his back." Well at least we got one good thing out of today." Said Grimlock.
"Grimlock I'm sor-" Before Swoop could continue, Grimlock stopped him from Continuing.
"It's alright Swoop. You didn't know what would happen." Said Grimlock.
The rest of the dinobots arrived. Sludge saw Miko with the Apex armor." Where did you get that miko?" He asked
"I stole it from Starscream" :3
"See Ultra Magnus? Told you she could look after herself." Wheeljack chuckled a bit.
Ultra Magnus looked at Miko."I apologize for underestimating you. You have proven quite impressive feats today."
"Does this mean I'm a wrecker now?" Miko sounded hopeful.
"There's no need, human."
"But-"
"You were already one."
"Thanks But uh... there's one problem." Miko stated ._. "I don't know how to take off the armor."
Everyone laughs a bit at this, except Magnus." We can figure it out back at Base." Said Grimlock as he comms Ratchet to open a ground bridge for him and the Dinobots. One opens up and the Dinobots all Go through it." See you all back at Base." Said Grimlock as he walks through and it closes behind him.
