The group made their way back to Cid's garage. The old man saw Cor, Gladiolus, Optimus, and Predaking arrive at the garage. "Do you still have any Insomnian technology Weapons?" Cor asked Cid. The old man smiled, headed back to a certain area of his garage, rummaged around for a bit, and soon return with a wagon full of Insomnian technology weaponry. Optimus and Predaking were stunned at the sight of the weapons, some much like those they used often and some very strange to them.
Gladiolus helped Cid set out the weaponry. "Go on, pick you weapon. Choose wisely" Gladiolus informed Optimus and Predaking. The two stared at the selection as it was overwhelming as well as strange. However, Predaking's interest was piqued when he saw a greatsword with an engine or some such thing attached. The dragon bot picked up the weapon and took a few swings with it. Predaking is impressed with how light it is yet how deadly it appeared.
"That is called a Force stealer, a Force eater 2. It packs well beyond its humble looks" Cid explained.
"So what will it cost me for this sword?" Predaking asked.
"Nothing. As we can see you have no weaponry that you can access here. We don't want you to go out there unarmed" Cid explained and Predaking nodded, pleased and thanked Cid, who smiled.
Meanwhile, Optimus was still checking over the weaponry. He was used to guns and swords as he had both in his usual form back home. He figured he would try something a bit different. He then made his choice, a strange looking spear with an engine attached to it. Ratchet would laugh if he saw the Prime weild such a thing, but Optimus figured it would work best for him here. He picked it up and was surprised by how versatile it seemed. "That is a Drain Lance 3 as we call it" Cid explained.
Optimus swung the lance around, testing out its metal so to speak, though he was sure there was more to it than met the eye. "So, what do I owe you for this?" Optimus asked, curious as he had learned free things were rarely ever free.
"Your first weapon is free. It is unwise to walk around here without a working weapon" Cid replied. Optimus nodded, gratefully. Optimus thanked Cid for the weapon.
"Alright, have you two picked your weapons of choice?" Gladiolus asked gruffly. Optimus and Predaking nodded and showed the weaponry that they had selected. Not only is Gladiolus pleased that they selected the weapons quickly, Cor was as well.
"Optimus, you are with me" Cor stated sternly. Optimus nodded and followed Cor.
"And you are to come with me, Predaking" Gladiolus barked. Predaking fell in line and followed him.
Once the four left, Cid carefully put away the unselected weapons. Cid knew that Cor and Gladiolus were tough young men. They were difficult on any other here that they knew, never mind someone they hardly knew. Cid hoped Optimus and Predaking could handle this, but he wasn't sure. Gladiolus and Cor had certain reputations here, and both were extremely protective of Lancex. But onlytime would tell.
