Tekkaman Prime
ESKK: Well let's start the new chapter of this fic.
(Start the Nemesis)
Soundwave was replaying the image of Blade losing control while noting each and every aspect as to why it was happening. Evil had been transformed longer and hadn't suffered for such a weakness which means it only applied to Blade. According to the timer Blade only can be transformed for 30 minutes at a time it seems.
"Well according to this data it seems the fleshy in metal here suffers from a mental attack due to this transformation." Knockout said as he had his hypothesis. "Of course without the live sample I can't properly make an exact guess as to what happened." Knockout said as the Combaticons were seen back on their feet again.
"And what happens when this little meat bag exceeds his 30?" Nightbird asked as she glared at Knockout wanting answers for this.
"If I had to garner a guess he loses control or the form destroys his mind." Knockout said and thus this meant this was a fatal weakness Blade suffered from.
"Soundwave monitor any more confrontations with Blade involved I wish to know exactly the specifics of this fatal weakness and if it can be used in our favor." Megatron ordered to which the ever silent Soundwave nodded. "Nightbird I will need you to be on the lookout for Arachnid I have heard reports she is on the planet marooned it seems." Megatron said as Nightbird smirked.
"Want me to snuff her out?" Nightbird asked hoping for the chance.
"Only if she refuses to come willingly." Megatron said and thus Nightbird smirked to her lord and master.
"It shall be done, Lord Megatron." Nightbird said and thus they were in agreement.
(With Evil)
Evil was observing a similar scene as he was reporting to Omega over what he had discovered. The Radan had taken over an abandoned Satellite station for their mid-way base between Earth and their base on its moon. AS far as anyone knew this station had been abandoned when a fatal malfunction made it impossible to maintain and opted to keep an eye for when it eventually fell from orbit or at least work on dismantling which neither came to be. This allowed Radan to take it over and use it as their midway base and hopefully use it to set up their advance base for their inevitable invasion of Earth.
Behind Evil was the image of Omega who was expecting the report to come in. Their plan had been successful so far but it seems that due to the other Tekkaman being part of the Argo crew people were on the lookout for their human forms. Thus this opted for the plan to change so to have them meet with Evil here when they were ready to deploy. "Ah, so that is Blade's weakness." Omega said as he looked upon the scene.
"Yes and it is fatal." Evil said as he knew they could use this to destroy Blade.
"Good, then we've just as good as terminated him already." Omega said as he glared at the scene before him. "But Evil, there is one more task that you must also accomplish." Omega said as he looked to Omega.
"Stealing energy to cultivate the Radan forces, right." Evil said as he looked to Omega who nodded. "Rest assured, I haven't forgotten I'm not Dagger or Lance after all." Evil said as one was dead and the other... well he was a cowardly dick. "But first I'll dispose of the traitor Blade, and then I'll seize the energy." Evil said as nearby he saw Radan were moving Energon to some sort of storage spot. He never understood why the Radan had suddenly began to gather Energon and suspected it was for some grand scheme but had yet to get the needed information save for shutting up and following orders. "I already have a strategy in mind, and it involves using an old contact Dagger made on Earth.
"Very good Evil, but don't fail me am I understood?" Omega said and thus Evil nodded to his leader.
"I would never dream of it." Evil said and thus Omega's image vanished from sight. "Have you located Arachnid again?" Evil asked as he then looked to where a Radan troop was who nodded. "Good." He said and thus had everything he needed. "Blade, the next time we I see you will be the day of your death." Evil said as he then made a sinister smirk. "It will be something I shall savor." Cain said from within his form as Tekkaman Evil ready to end the life of his elder twin brother.
But Unknown to them in a location where failed Radan were sent to in order to die... a magenta colored glow was seen inside one of the pods. Inside it was the image of another Tekkaman whose eyes shined showing that despite being among the rejects and defects she was still alive with a single goal in mind, home.
(Scene Break Earth Jasper High School)
Nick was looking at a flower in a vase while waiting for a teacher to show up. Now some might ask what Nick was doing here and the reason for that was simple he needed a cover and everything. Fowler pulled through once more since in his honest opinion Nick was wasting away at the base since he couldn't do much there. But since he had a college degree (Which was a major part of getting on the Argo) he didn't see the need to go to school again. Fowler felt otherwise and thus here he was enrolled into Jack's school.
Just then the door opened and thus Nick was drawn out of his thoughts to the sight of the Teacher. "Mr. Carter I'll bring you to your class now." The teacher said and thus Nick opted to follow the guy to his new classroom for the foreseeable future.
(Later during at Class)
A classroom fill with students who were talking, playing, throwing paper balls at a trashcan, with Jack in the classroom as well, just relaxing in his seat and wonder what is on the agenda today for school, then suddenly the bell rang with everyone quickly quite down and gotten into their seat with their teacher soon coming in a few seconds later as she said, "Attention class, it seem we have a new transfer student today."
Some students whisper something to another before they laugh a bit with the teacher went on saying "So I hope you all treat him well while he is here. So please come in and introduce yourself Mr. Carter?"
Jack look up to be surprise to see Nick walking into the classroom, with some of the girls whispers and said something like 'He's so hot!' and 'I wonder if he's single?" with the guys has mix feeling for the guy, as the teacher said to him, "Now then, sense this class will be your homeroom, how about introducing yourself to everyone Mr. Carter?"
Nick nodded as he said, "The names Nick carter, I'm 16 years old, I came from the state of Wisconsin and moved out here due to some family work related, nice to meet you all."
Jack is surprise that nick would say all that and say his real name, and he knew Nick was coming to his school but not which class he would join, but to his guess agent fowler had set it up that way due to the idea he came up with.
(Flashback)
Agent Fowler had again returned to the Autobot base with a file, boxes, and suit case, as he handed it all the Nick as Nick open the file to see what's inside to his surprise to see documents and different I.D's for things as Agent fowler said, "Here is your new life Nick, enjoy it as I have to call out a few favors to get these."
"Okay, but why giving me this?" Nick asked with everyone wondering the same thing as Fowler said to him, "Sense your life before was supposed to be set on mars, everything about you on earth was supposed to be transfer to the mars colony on the Argo, but sense it didn't make it everything about you is gone, so I had to create a new Identity for you so you can live your life again."
"Kind of hard to live life when I'm stuck living in here," Nick said as he was going over everything including his new I.D cards which one is a driver license, but it make sense he had to learn how to drive these lunar dune buggy Vehicle that was supposed to be sent to mars with the Argo crew on and off road, but it could be a reason to have to ride in Ironhide in his vehicle mode if he is in the driver seat.
"Which is why I also having you set up in a foster home," fowler said which all the teens surprise by this as Miko said, "Wait, isn't the point of him being here is to hide him from the world because of the whole space bug problem super hero thing?"
"Is it even a good idea to put him in a foster home in the first place?" Raf said as Fowler said to him, "Now to worry, it's all sorted out and we do have the best person to watch over him and help him out if need be."
"And who would that be? Jack asked with Fowler look at Jack and said, "That would be you Mr. Darby."
(End flashback)
After that Nick came to his home and be introduce to his mother, with a cover story of Nick being one of their relatives on Jack's father side and he has no other family that would take him in, and Jack's mom accepted Nick in her care, but she was surprise to see that Nick had a ride of his own, being the truck that was Ironhide in disguise.
Lucky Nick had come up with a story that the truck was his father's truck that he inherited and has the licenses to show he could drive it with Jack's mother accepted it as that and set Nick up in one of spare rooms and that was that.
The only problem that came with this was Nick had to go to school now, even though he has a college degree, another requirement for the mars colony project, he had to keep the cover of being a normal teen and that means going to school with Jack.
The teacher soon said to Nick, "Thank you Mr. Carter, now please find a seat and we can get started on our lesson."
Nick nodded and walk to the desk to join with his fellow students as he look around for an open seat and came to one that was near Jack, and took it as they just give each other a slight nod to each other before they soon focus on class.
(After school)
The school bell rang out and everyone were coming out, with some running out like he couldn't wait to get out of school, while other just walking out with some talking to their friends or doing something on their phones, with Nick coming out as he give a heavy sigh as he said, "I can't believe I have to go through all this again."
He never exactly got to go to high school first few years of his life he and his siblings were home schooled and afterword's when the Argo project came up they were given private tutors. By the time they were ready in their Nick and Cain were in their late teens while Shara was in her early teen, and Conrad was on his way to get married and they already had all they needed for the project.
But as he walked out he then caught sight of a pair of boys heading home no doubt friends or brothers. "Jeez class was boring today." Came the shorter of the two as they walked out.
"Come on man it's not that bad. Tell you what when we get home and get our homework done let's play a round of Halo." The taller of the two said as he was reminded of his twin and himself in that regard
"Nah I'm probably going to sleep early." He said as he walked on as Nick heard this.
"Jeez Alice you didn't have to be like that to Brick." A girl said as she left the school.
"He was asking for it just didn't like when he got it, Mikaela." Alice said as she and her friend left the building.
"Come on you need to be a bit nicer, it's not his fault he thinks with his muscles." A third girl said as she left with the two reminding Nick of Shara. As Nick saw this he wondered if Shara would be around that age with a good number of friends and family about. Going to school coming home or just plain out being a normal girl. As he saw this he sighed and began to head on only to see another sight for him. He was at the parking area and thus he saw it.
"Brother!" Came a new voice and in turn Nick looked and saw the sight of a trio of children running up to a young man also heading home as in the car was his parents waiting for him. The three children nearly dog piled their elder brother as Nick saw two boys and one girl among them. Seeing this seeing the joy they were having Nick was reminded of his broken family of a kinder past.
He then began to see the images of himself, Cain, Shara, and Conrad all younger and in a field of flowers. They were laughing and simply enjoying their childhood as he saw how Cain picked a flower for Shara to take. But Shara then gave it to Nick who happily took it from his sister. But the happy images would not last for as young Cain turned around Tekkaman Evil took his place making Nick go wide eyed to this. But as Nick seemed ready to respond to this almost forgetting it's not real a new voice got his attention.
"Hey Nick right?" Came the new voice and in turn Nick looked and saw one of the girls from before.
But for a moment he instead saw Shara as he last saw her but in a pure white dress holding the flower in her hand. "Shara?!" Nick asked in shock no doubt his mind playing tricks on him again. But just then a car horn went off and thus Nick was drawn back to reality and in turn saw the girl Jack liked.
"Um you ok?" She asked as she saw Nick was kind of out of it.
"Yeah it's just... for a minute you looked like someone." Nick admitted as he looked away from the girl.
"This Shara right? She your girlfriend?" The girl asked as she looked to Nick tilting her head a bit.
"No... She was my younger sister." Nick said and thus Sierra was wide eyed to this and realized that may have made Nick uncomfortable.
"Oh... sorry." She said and thus she figured introductions were in order. "Why isn't she here now?" The girl asked as she looked around and saw now sign of any new faces.
"She is... currently in the hospital after a bad accident." Nick said making up a lie about it. "We couldn't transport her here until she recovered some more strength to make the trip." Nick said and thus the girl understood what Nick said.
"Oh." She said knowing she might have touched a sensitive spot there. "Anyway I'm Sierra." The girl introduced herself as she went to shake Nick's hand.
"Nick." He responded by shaking Sierra's hand in response.
"Hey some of us are heading to the mall this mall this weekend maybe you can join up." Sierra offered and thus Nick turned a bit and saw Ironhide parked outside.
"Sorry but I got things to do." Nick said and thus began to take his leave from Sierra.
"Oh um ok." Sierra said and thus went off to catch up to her friends but before doing so saw Nick climb into the driver's side of his Pickup truck before it driving off with it. "Nice truck." Sierra said as she saw the truck drive off. It may lack speed Vince car or Jack's bike but it certainly has some major horsepower to its name.
(Scene Break over with Nick)
Nick was leaning his head on the door as Ironhide drove to base. "So kid that girl seemed nice." Ironhide said as he drove but Nick didn't respond. Ironhide had seen this before soldiers who didn't really have much to live for after a personal loss. The kid might need some counseling but who would he even turn to for that considering he would even be willing to do so. "Look if you need to talk know you have a lot of people listening." Ironhide said as he drove them to base.
"Just keep driving." Nick said as he no doubt wanted to be alone with his thoughts at the moment.
(Scene Break that night Evil)
In an unknown Forest Radan was hunting as they were tracking down the tracks left by their quarry. She could easily burrow into the ground which they anticipated as some were even burrowing themselves so to find her. Just then from above Arachnid landed on some Radan knowing they were hunting her and dug her claws into it. The Radan let out a screech which alerted the others and thus forcing here to run for it.
It seems they were using more in comparison to last time no doubt ticked that she left Dagger for dead. As she ran she soon fired webbing at some of them only to cry out when acid spit hit her hands clogging her web shooters in turn. Just then she was surrounded and in turn the Radan showed they will attack as some were even above her and if what she saw earlier was any indication they were below her as well.
"Heh seems I'm cornered." Arachnid said and in turn she saw a figure hovering down.
"Yes you are." Evil said as he glared at Arachnid.
"So hear to finish what Dagger wouldn't Mr..." Arachnid said and thus Evil glared at her.
"Evil and no let's just say I need your webs for a project." Evil said as he glared at Arachnid.
"Oh and what project do you have in mind?" Arachnid asked as he looked to Evil with faux curiosity.
"I need you to web something after that you're free to go." Evil said showing he was cashing in on the favor she owed Dagger.
"That's it? You just hunted me down just so you can get a little webbing?" Arachnid asked as she was suspicious of this.
"Yes and if you don't agree." Evil trailed off and thus with a wave of his hand the Radan snarled ready to attack but the threat was there.
"Ok... give me a time and place." Arachnid said only to have Radan move in closer.
"Not this time, we'll escort you their personally just to make sure you don't pull a runner on us." Evil said as he refused to take chances with this particular Con and thus Arachnid saw these guys were clearly covering there basis. They didn't want her to escape until she performed the task and thus Arachnid knew she was beaten.
"Alright I'll be in your care then." Arachnid said as she had to bide her time assuming these bugs planned to double cross her at their earliest convenience.
(Scene Break Autobot Base)
As The Autobots were all gathered with the children in their regular area to avoid accidental squishes a communication came in and thus Fowler was seen on screen. From the looks of it he was currently in a Helicopter as he was no doubt flying to the location. "Prime One the bugs are back." Fowler said as Optimus and Elita walked over to the terminal to speak with Fowler. "They're attacking a Nuclear Power Plant this time around Military controlled." Fowler said as this surprised the group to no end.
"Nuclear as in boom we're dead?" Jack asked as he heard about this.
"We have footage of their attack now." Fowler said and thus showed an image of the outside as Radan was seen converging on the Power Plant mainly the exposed cables. The Radan then gave off an electrical Current as they only moved if they were attacked and that was to take care of the troops attacking them.
"What are they doing?" Chromia asked as she was surprised to see this.
They're taking the energy inside it." Nick said as he was heard the humans area. "Their gathering it up inside their bodies to carry it off to where their main base is a lot like worker bees for a hive." Nick explained and thus it gave a thought to Perceptor.
"Pardon but a thought just occurred if we consider this method and consider their recent desire for Energon then I can with upmost logic that the likely probability is that the Radan or logically absorbing the Energon into their bodies before they expel it so as to build an immunity to its effects on them." Perceptor said as that did seem like a smart move.
"Forget that for a moment our boys in green will hold them off until your team and the kid arrive." Fowler said as Optimus then spoke up to this.
"Agent Fowler though this is not a Decepticon Incursion you know as well as I do that will not tolerate even a single human casualty." Optimus urged as he looked to Fowler letting him know that human casualties must be avoided at all costs.
"Unless you got a way to stop them from messing with a nuclear reactor we may not have a choice." Fowler said until Perceptor spoke up.
"Perhaps my assistance will be useful here." Perceptor said as he stepped up.
"Wow back up big words and bigger brain is going to the front lines?" Miko asked shocked to hear that Perceptor was heading to the front.
"All right the Wreckers ride again!" Bulkhead called out happy to hear this as he and Ironhide then knuckle bumped each other with Ironhide laughing in excitement.
"Alright but be careful Prime." Fowler said and thus the communications ended.
In turn Optimus got down to business. "Ironhide you will lead the Wreckers for this mission once Nick has Deployed with Pegas make your way to the power plant once you are in, Perceptor you must deactivate the reactor at all costs." Optimus said and thus he looked over to Elita. "Elita you will lead your team to locate and rescue any survivors, once you are done we must ensure Radan does send for reinforcements nor be allowed to escape with what they had already gained." Optimus said and thus that left Bumblebee and Jetfire awaiting orders. "Jetfire Bumblebee we will draw enemy fire to give the other teams time to act, Jetfire you may be needed for air support." Optimus said and thus everyone got ready to roll out.
"Yes sir!" Everyone called out and thus were ready to roll out.
(Later with Cain)
Cain was in his human form as he leaned against a tree watching as Radan began their assault on the power plant. Next to him Arachnid stood as she towered over the human. As he watched the battle progress he knew victory would be there's regardless of the result. Either Blade loses himself to his primal instincts as Radan or they acquire the energy it's what one would call a win/win situation. "Hurry the hell up, Blade." Cain said with his arms crossed as he awaited his twin brother's arrival.
Arachnid saw the whole thing and swore if this kid was Cybertronian... him and Megatron would have probably hit it off somehow. Still her role in this was to restrain Pegas so by the time he does get free Blade would lose control. But just because she carried out that part doesn't meant she can't have a bit of fun with Arcee and this time the whole family will be there... well minus Red Alert though.
(Battle)
As Radan continued to do their task the familiar sound of a Ground Bridge was heard and in turn the Autobots came in for battle. Leading the charge was Optimus as the Bots were grouped based on their teams. Ironhide lead the Wreckers in one team, Elita lead the Femme's in another with Arcee taking part in this, and Optimus with Bumblebee and Jetfire lead them all before Jetfire took off and began to fire fight against the Radan.
On Ironhide Nick was currently in protective gear given to him by Fowler as he was currently hanging onto the trailer Ironhide towed with Pegas on it. Just then Radan went for the attack to which Pegas saw it but before he could be given the order Pegas began to open fire on the Radan taking several of them down and clearing a way for Nick to transform. Nick was surprised at what just happened but knew there was little time to ask about it. It was time to jump into action once more as he was ready to transform.
"Let's go Bumblebee and get their attention!" Jet fire said as transform into his plane form and take off fast while shooting at a group of them that was coming at Nick, with Bumblebee transform as well and drove pass some Radan, kicking up dirt in their faces which they didn't seem to like as they soon chase after him too, giving Nick the freedom to change himself as he calls out, "Pegas! TEKK-SETTER!"
"Roger!" Pegas said as it open its back hatch with Nick jumping in as a light surrounds him while the hatch closes and Pegas took off to the sky.
Soon enough as the top hatch of Pegas opens up letting Tekkaman Blade come forth with Pegas soon transform into jet mode as Blade landed on it while also summon forth his weapons as he combine them together as he calls out, "Tekkaman Blade!"
Radan spotted Blade and fire at him while he spin his weapon fast to deflect the liquid coming at him while Pegas fire upon them shooting them down as they pass by them.
(Autobot Femme and Wreckers)
The 5 femme's and 3 Wreckers bot soon drive out quickly to the power plant with the Radan attention on Nick, Pegas, Jetfire, and Bumblebee they had a chance with Elita said, "Remember team, avoid any Radan and find all humans that are still alive and captured."
"Not a problem," Arcee said with the other Femme understood their part with Perceptor spoken up next as he said, "Meanwhile me, Ironhide, and bulkhead head into the plant and shut it down before the Radan take any more energy."
"While we smash are way in of course," Bulkhead said as he can't wait to pound the giant bugs to bits with Preceptor soon said, "Right and we must avoid firing blaster inside or else we could cause a meltdown or make the entire blow up like a bomb."
"Don't worry I understand when to use my cannon and when to use my fist," Ironhide said as soon enough the two team split up as the Femme team spotted a Radan tree with the Wreckers came up to the building with some Radan flew down before them to block their way, but then Ironhide transform while leap into the air and fire his weapons at them, blowing them away quickly before transforming back and keep the same speed he did before, "Just like I said."
They soon busted through the wall of the building and try to find the control quickly as they can.
(Optimus Prime)
The leader of the Autobots had join the battle field as he help join in with Nick to fight off the Radan, as he fire at them with his blaster and slice some up with his arm sword but soon found himself surrounded quickly by them as he said, "You shall not have this world Radan!"
He gave his battle cry as he charge at the ones before him shooting at them while dodge some spit shot aimed at him before he slash at them while they cry out in pain for that, but more were soon coming at the big bot with Blade above saw this as he knew he needs to help as he aim his sword at the group that was moving in as he said, "Over my dead body!"
He soon threw his weapon, but before it could reach them, another weapon collided with his stopping it in its tracks, with Blade surprise by this as he look to see where it came from and soon saw Evil on a Manta Rays looking Radan as Blade said, "Is It you…. Evil!"
"I've been waiting for you, Blade!" Evil said as his visor of his helmet glowed bright red.
(Back at base)
With fowler, the teens, and Ratchet saw what was happening on the monitor with Jack said, "Evil's back again."
"Why do the bad guy always have to come at the worst times?!" Miko said as she wish evil would just shove off with Raf said, "Because that's just what they always do against a hero?"
"He was waiting for Nick the show up," Ratchet said as he examined the situation as Fowler said, "Let's hope our white knight cane take him down."
"White knight? Nah, he's more of a space knight… Oh space knights that's a cool name," Miko said as she just came up with another idea to call Nick and other Tekkamans that could be joining them.
(Power Plant)
The wrecker team makes it inside and in robot form due to there being too many turns in the many halls their vehicle modes can't maneuver around within the power plant, with Perceptor have an image map of the entire building that show him where the controls are at as he said, "If we keep going down this path we may make it to the control and shut down the power."
"Let's get it done so we can join the fight against the Radan," Bulkhead said with Ironhide spoken up next saying, "No telling what those bugs would do once we shut down the power."
"Either get enrage and attack or flee back to their base, either way we must stop them from taking any more power than they already have," Perceptor said as suddenly there was a shake in the area they were in as they halted in their advancement to the power plant controls as Bulkhead said, "What was that?"
"Something tells me, not good," Ironhide said as at that moment the ground shakes some more with something coming up from the floor itself, breathing the concrete floor and pop up to the bot's surprise to see a Radan had dug it way into the building and had block them from their destination.
"Great they knew we would try and shutdown the power," Perceptor said as he forgets how intelligent the Radan really are as Ironhide said while getting his mace weapon out for combat, "Then let's get it to move then."
Suddenly the ground shakes again and soon more Radan pops up from the ground and surrounded them as all of them prepared themselves for a fight in close quarters as Perceptor said, "This isn't good."
(Femme)
The Femme group has look around the area and fought against the Radan as they went, soon they came near the Radan tree thinking the Radan might have captured more people to put into those things as Elita soon saw ahead, a balls of some sort of web is seen with Radan all around it as they saw the femme Autobots they give a screeching sound before they charge at them and attack with Elita called out, "Scatter!"
They soon broke formation and transform into their robot form, and then attack as Arcee aim her blasters at them and started firing, with Moonracer pull back to get more distant as she quickly pull out her sniper weapon, take aim, and fire at them quickly.
"They are relentless," Firestar slash at the Radan before she cut off the head of one to put her attention on another behind her as she spin her sword in her hand in a reverse grip and stab at it without looking.
Arcee and Chromia fought off against their fair share of Radan with Arcee said, "They're trying to stop us from taking back the humans they taken."
"Key word being try," Elita said as she knew they will succeed as she shot down a Radan as she said, "Just keep advancing to the Radan's tree, no doubt it just started to grow that mean the humans aren't put into yet!"
"Me and Moonracer will cover you," Firestar said as the two were dealing with the Radan well enough with Moonracer picking them off from a distant while Firestar handle close quarters combat as Elita said, "If you two get overwhelmed, just retreat and join with the others."
"Rodger!" Moonracer said as she fire again at a Radan while the three Femmes took off to the tree, with the Radan keep trying to stop them but they were taken care of quickly.
As they reach the tree itself, they saw the Radan were preparing the human for their coon in the three itself as Elita, Arcee, and Chromia fought them away from the humans.
The Radan soon retreated away as Elita reach the group of human that were cover in a webbing and they were still breathing, no doubt were only knock out by the gas the Radan were producing that surrounded the area keeping them asleep as Elita calls to HQ and said, "Ratchet, I'm going to need a ground bridge near my location, we found survivors, and have Fowler to have that medical team on standby as well."
"Understood, I'm preparing the ground bridge now," Ratchet said as he acted fast to open a ground bridge, with suddenly more Radan came forth from above trying to get to the team, but the Femmes have proven to be faster than they are and counter against them.
Soon enough a ground bridge opens up as Elita saw this and said, "Grab the humans and retreat into the ground bridge now! Firestar, Moonracer we're getting the humans to safety, stick to my orders, and do what you can"
"Good luck" Firestar said on the coms as Soon enough the three femmes grab the humans in the webbing, carefully and quickly pick them up and rush them to the portal as then it soon close behind them with Radan were right behind them, but missed their chance to do anything as the ground bridge soon close behind the bots.
(The battlefield)
Tekkaman and Evil keep on fighting each other while the 3 Autobots on the ground were doing the best they can to stay off the Radan forces and keep their attention on them while the rest of the teams do their part.
Blade and Evil flew down and grabbed their weapons and in turn glared each other down. "I'll never let you take this energy back to Radan." Blade said as he glared at Evil in contempt.
"You think you can stop me?" Evil asked and thus tapped his foot on his mount who in turn flew forth. Evil roared out as he held his weapon ready to strike down Blade where he stood. Blade did the same as he rode Pegas making this seem like a space age joust between the two sides. Just then Blade and Evil jumped off their mounts and passed each other while clashing their weapons. They quickly parted and began to do battle for a brief moment until Evil's mount blindsided Blade and forced him to the ground.
While on the ground Evil began to stab at Blade only for Blade to avoid the attacks to the best of his abilities. But after avoiding the first two he blocked the third one with his lancer and with it managed to force Evil to get off him. Once this was done Blade boosted himself back onto his feet and began to do battle with Evil once more.
Nearby Pegas was chasing down the manta based mount of Evil while firing upon it. Pegas was not given the order but he knew that Radan was the enemy thus needed to be defeated. Up ahead Blade and Evil continued to do battle as they swung their weapons at each other until Evil pulled back a bit. Once he did this Evil jumped onto his mount and began to fly off while Pegas fired upon him.
TO prevent him from getting away Blade once more mounted Pegas and in turn gave chase to his twin brother. As the chase went on Evil silently chuckled to himself as he was moving Blade and Pegas into position for interception and thus separate him from Blade for his plan. "That's right brother keep chasing me down." Evil said in a sinister tone to himself as Blade and Pegas continued to chase Evil down.
Eventually they got to a forest area and Evil in turn jumped off his mount and once more clashed with Blade knocking him off Pegas in their clash. They continued to do so as they began to head to the ground and continued to clash against each other. They eventually fell through a tree and continued to do battle against each other despite the tree getting in the way until they landed on the ground and glared each other down.
Evil chuckled a bit as he saw that Blade was unaware of the plan he was enacting. "So you're ready to fight now, big brother?" Evil asked as he glared down Blade ready for more.
"We're not brothers anymore!" Blade yelled as he glared at Evil.
"So you choose to erase your past?" Evil asked as he had chosen this place for a specific reason. "Everything even the memory of this place right here?" Evil asked and thus had confused Blade for but a moment. Blade looked to the place Evil mentioned and was in turn wide eyed with what he saw. He had almost failed to recognize this place as the beach and the nearby field of flowers he remembered it well. "Are you saying you don't remember this scene?" Evil asked as he gestured to this place that Blade held sentimental connections to.
After all how can Blade forget the place he and his family use to come to almost every summer before that power plant was built. "But this place... it's." Blade said as he failed to realize that Evil was not above tactics such as using sentimental memories and locations against Blade.
This made Evil smirked as the memories played back before Blade's eyes. "Looks like you finally remember... this familiar spot of ours." Evil said as Blade clenched his fist when raged welled up inside him.
"Evil what did you bring me here?" Blade asked as he glared at Evil wanting to know what his angle was.
"It's where we used to play all the time, the sea, the beach, the lighthouse." Evil began as he looked to his brother. "Since you insist on being human." He continued before charging at Blade with his weapon raised. "I think this place will be the perfect grave for you!" Evil roared out and attacked Blade ready to strike him down.
(Meanwhile with Team Elita)
"Commander One the Humans have been evacuated!" Arcee called out as she saw the last injured human enter the Ground Bridge.
"Good then Autobots regroup with Primes team and." Elita began until they heard laser fire and thus saw Pegas without Blade fighting a Radan mount of Evil.
"Pegas?" Moonracer asked as she saw the robot fighting the Radan. Just then they saw the two clash against each other causing them to lose trajectory. Pegas was about to crash and thus Firestar went wide eyed to this.
"Pegas!?" Firestar called out but then to their shock Pegas transformed back into robot mode almost instantly to save himself.
They all began to sigh in relief but it was short lived when something else happened. Suddenly webbing shot out and hit Pegas pinning him to the wall he had nearly hit effectively trapping him there. The Femmes' of Elita's team went wide eyed and thus Moonracer gasped when she found the source of it. Arachnid was here as the rogue Decepticon smirked at her success in her part of Evil's plans.
"Arachnid!" Arcee roared as rage flowed and thus Arachnid smirked at the two wheeler femme.
"Oh Arcee and it seems you found your pack again." Arachnid greeted as she knew her role was done to keep Pegas from Blade. By the time Pegas gets free it will already be too late.
Elita quickly realized what Arcee was about to do and she knew why. She was there when she heard of Tailgates fate and knew rage was a clear response to this from Arcee. Arcee then transformed and began to give chase to Arachnid who in response jumped into the tree area with her legs transformed giving her a more spider like image.
"Arcee stop stand down!" Elita ordered but Arcee went after Arachnid regardless.
"Commander what do we do?" Moonracer asked and thus Elita knew what had to be done. "You three remain here and free Pegas I fear Evil orchestrated this attack to force Blade pass his operational limit." Elita said and thus turned to where Arcee drove off to. "I'll chase down Arcee and Arachnid." Elita said and thus the Femme's understood.
"If you're able give Arachnid the pits for what she and Nightbird did to Red Alert." Chromia said and following a nod of response Elita proceeded to transformed vehicle form and began to chase down Arachnid and Arcee hopefully to prevent the loss of another of her team. Once she was gone Chromia with Firestar and Moonracer got to work on freeing Pegas hopefully before Blade's limiter reached its limit.
(Meanwhile with Arcee)
Arcee returned to robot mode with her blasters hot and ready to snuff out Arachnid. As she searched she made sure to keep her optics open for any and all of Arachnids known tricks. She was going to snuff out that murderous sick femme for what she did to Tailgate and all the other bots whom met their end at her servos.
Just then as Arcee was about to move she was suddenly blindsided by Arachnid as she came from above and bashed into Arcee. They rolled on the ground for a bit until Arachnid had Arcee pinned on the ground. "If I recall you had me just like this when I arrived on Earth." Arachnid said as she smirked at Arcee.
"To bad I know how to get out of it!" Arcee said as she then went for one of Arachnids spider legs and sliced into it forcing Arachnid off of her and severing the piece. Once that was done Arcee began to fire at Arachnid who avoided the attacks by jumping between trees. As she did so Arcee adjusted her footing a bit to keep up only to feel her treads step on something sticky. She looked down and saw more of Arachnids webbing making her go wide eyed to this. "Scrap." Arcee cursed and thus she was in turn pulled upward by her feet and from there Arachnid began to cover Arcee in the webbing.
"I'll miss our little get together." Arachnid said but before Arcee could respond more laser fire was heard and coming in was none other than Elita 1. As the second in command of the Autobots charged in she forced Arachnid back and with a well-placed maneuver was able to cut down Arcee from her prison. Thankfully the webbing wasn't done so Arcee was able to handle the rest as Elita landed and trained her blasters on Arachnid.
"So the rumors are true you did make it off Cybertron." Arachnid said as she had been picking up Decepticon Radio chatter on the famous leader of the Autobot Femme's. "The famous Autobot Leader, Elita One is on Earth." Arachnid said as she glared at Elita who looked ready to fight while smirking. She was a rogue to the cons that much was certain ever since Cybertron went dark. And Arachnid knew that Nightbird despised Elita with a ferocious passion only rivaled by Megatrons own hatred for Optimus Prime. Arachnid use to serve under Nightbird who was once her commanding officer and needless to say she hated every moment of it. Yes Arachnid was Nightbirds second in command but half the time she was treated no better than Starscream of all Cons. Unlike that sniveling opportunistic worm Arachnids success/failure ratio was vastly different.
But it was never enough for Nightbird no matter how many battles she fought Nightbird always found fault in her. Ironic she and Starscream had an agreement about Nightbird so long as she had Megatrons ear and favor she was all but untouchable. It was an annoyance to orchestrate her assassination and to find out it failed was a bigger bother. If she returned to the Decepticons now Arachnid knew Nightbird would suspect her of her past treachery. Her only hope was to bring Elita's head on a pike to earn favor with Megatron.
"Arachnid stand down and surrender peacefully you will be treated fairly if you do so." Elita said as she so wanted to make Arachnid suffer for what she did to Red Alert and Tailgate. But Elita knew that if she allowed herself to do so then she'd be no better than Arachnid in this regard.
"Commander you can't be." Arcee began but only got a glare from Elita which Arcee instinctively knew meant Elita was not happy with her. Elita was strict but not as bad as Ultra Magnus was her command style was a bit more laid back then Optimus but when Elita stomps her treads down on a subject it normally means bad news for the Bots she does so against. It was worse for Arcee since the small femme trained under Elita One during the War for Cybertron. She would have had a command role on her team if Arcee hadn't transferred to a different squad where she had in turn met Tailgate.
"Oh offering me mercy even after what happened to Red Alert?" Arachnid asked hoping to get a rise out of Elita making Arcee go wide eyed to this. Red Alert was part of Elita's team but she wasn't with them when they arrived on Earth. This begged to question what happened to Red Alert but after hearing what Arachnid said did she take the spark of another Bot. Arcee remembered Red Alert she never hurt a fly as a field medic she was best known for her methods she healed allies and enemies alike even if said enemies may very well turn on them the minute they were healed. Red Alert was best known to be the go to in the event they have a Decepticon prisoner that needed tending. She at first served as Ratchets leading nurse until she transferred over and joined Elita's team.
Ratchet was fond of her in a sort of mentor and student sort of way. Red Alert idolized Ratchet back then and Ratchet was fond of her himself. If Arachnid did something to Red Alert then it's a miracle Elita was holding back her rage so well. "But if I managed to snuff out the Great Elita One then no doubt I'll earn great favor with Megatron and with it protection from Nightbird." Arachnid said as she then smirked at Elita.
"You don't say?" Elita said and thus began to fire at Arachnid who acted fast and avoided the shots. As this went on Elita fired some more until Arachnid started to return fire. This went on for a bit until Arachnid fired her web at Elita. Acting fast Elita allowed her left arm to be webbed up and in turn saw how Arachnid smirked. Arachnid then saw Elita smirk back and fired at Arachnid with her free arm. She didn't end it there as when Arachnid avoided the shots the Femme leader yanked hard on the web and pulled Arachnid towards her. In turn Elita managed to grab Arachnid and slam her down on the ground.
The Spider femme was far from done as with her extended legs she proceeded to attack Elita who easily avoided it and used that same leg to free her arm. Once that was done she jumped back and fired down upon Arachnid who got back up and avoided the shots. It then came to a heel as Elita switched to her arm blades and fought off Arachnid's melee attacks before stabbing at her side and slamming her down. When she got back up she then found herself on the business end of Elita's blasters.
"Impressive... but in the end you're no Nightbird or Megatron." Elita said as she fought both Decepticon Leaders in her time.
Of course Arachnid took offense to that but also knew she lost and thus knew it was time to cut her loses and run. She did her part and thus it was now time to cut and run. Acting fast Arachnid forced Elita's blaster away and fired her own forcing Elita back to avoid it. Giving herself time Arachnid began to burrow into the ground and in turn Arcee gave chase.
"ARACHNID!" Arcee roared in fury but was too late.
"Arcee!" Elita began and thus Arcee forgot she had previously disobeyed a direct order from her commanding officer. "Once this mission is over we will discuss this at the base." Elita said as she showed they were far from done with this conversation. "Let's move." Elita said and thus Arcee followed knowing that an angry Elita was just as bad if not worse than an angry Optimus due to how rare either leaders let their anger out of ever.
(Back with Blade vs Evil)
Blade and evil continue to fight with Evil soon knock Blade back into a field of flowers, as he gotten back up, he stops for a moment and held up a white flower in the field he landed in and saw… it was the same flower field his little sister would come and play in.
"What's the matter? You're not acting like the Nick I know," evil said getting blades' attention as he look up to his brother as he said to him, "You can't forget, no matter how hard you try. Those memories buried at the bottom of your heart... they confuse you?"
Blade was a bit taken back by Evil's words to him as Evil went on saying, "Amaryllis, Shara's favorite flower will make the perfect funeral wreath for a traitor. I'm sure she'll be happy too!"
"Shut up!" Blade said as he glare at Evil through his helmet as he walk towards him through the flowers as he went on saying, "Don't say that... don't say that!"
"That's right, let your rage blind you beyond all reason!," Evil said as he wanted Blade to lose control of himself, make him be enrage, to make him forget about his time limit, with Evil soon charge at blade, with the white Tekkaman yells out, "shut up!"
(Wreckers)
The 3 bots soon made it to the controls as Perceptor gotten to work as he plug in a keyboard that was big enough for him to use as he said to Ironhide and Bulkhead, "Good we made it. Now I can start to shut down the power from here and we can stop the Radan from taking any more energy."
"Hurry then," Ironhide said as he look down the hall as he saw more Radan coming their way as he went on saying, "WE may not have much time."
"Then give me more then," Perceptor said as he gotten to work with Bulkhead prepared himself as he said, "Not a problem." With that both himself and Ironhide charge at the Radan and attack to buy as much time for Perceptor as they could.
Perceptor gotten into the main frame and trying to find the shutdown code, but so much data came it was hard for him to find it as he try his best to narrow it down, as the two Wreckers doing what they can against the Radan as they spit out that acid stuff at them, with the narrow halls, they can only move so much as they try to dodge it but still got hit by a small amount, enough to make Bulkhead cry out as Irohhide look to him, getting angry at this, seeing his wrecker brother in arms getting hurt, he turn his attention back to the Radan and said, "You mess with the wrong bots bugs!"
Soon enough he switch over to his cannons and soon start firing close range getting a good chunk of them, but some keep coming, using their dead comrades body as cover, leaping over them to reach the big gun Autobot.
With Perceptor soon found what he was looking for and in turn he proceeded to type as fast as he could and said, "Come on... Come on!"
A Radan grunt soon knock bulkhead to the side as some charge at Perceptor while he keep his focus on the screen as he soon said with a excited tone, "Got it!"
He soon hears something behind him as he turn around quickly to see a Radan coming at him quickly, as he dodge it, but the controls gotten smash in the process as he yells out, "No!"
The Radan charge at him, as he defended himself as he brought out his weapon and fir e upon them causing a bit of an explosion in the room causing the Radan to be blasted back with Ironhide and Bulkhead get up as it seem the Radan had cover them from the blast as Ironhide said, "Thanks Perceptor!"
"I would be thanking me at this moment," he said with Bulkhead said, "Why not you did save our hides."
"Maybe but… I caused a bit too much damage," The smart bot said as they look and saw the control and screens totally fried as Ironhide said, "Great now what?"
"We will have to do it manually, we need to either find the emergency shutdown switch to the reactor or disconnect the power lines from it," He said as now they have more work to do as Bulkhead ask, "So where do we go from here then?"
Perceptor look around and saw a map on the far wall, showing the entire lay down of emergency exit, but also where the reactor room is at, as he memorize it before he said, "Follow me, I know the way."
(Meanwhile over with the Femme's)
Firestar, Moonracer, and Chromia were still cutting Pegas loose as Arachnid's webbing was as tough as ever. "Have I mentioned how much I HATE Arachnid?" Moonracer asked as she continued to cut into the web.
"We need to hurry, Firestar how long as Blade been active?" Chromia asked as she was leading the group until Elita returned with Arcee.
"Too long." Firestar said and in turn they saw movement from Pegas arm suggesting they almost had him freed.
"Chromia have you freed Pegas yet?" Ratchet asked suddenly over their communication link.
"Working on it!" Chromia retorted as she kept cutting.
"Well hurry Blade is reaching his operational limit." Ratchet urged knowing full well that if Blade didn't revert to Nick he will certainly lose control.
"Scrap." Chromia cursed and in turn worked faster to get Pegas free.
(Meanwhile over with Blade vs Evil)
The two were seen flying and doing battle over the field of flowers as both were intent on ending the other. Eventually their battle halted again as Blade landed on the ground but it seemed something was in his left hand now. Looking upon it Blade saw it was the flower from the field the same flower his sister Shara loved too much.
Seeing this Evil smirked and proceeded to take advantage of it. "What's wrong?" Evil asked as he got Blade's attention. "You're not acting like the Nick I know and love." Evil said as he looked to his twin brother. Blade looked over to Evil as the way he said it got Nick's attention. "You can't forget, no matter how hard you try." Evil said as he brought up good points against Nick. "Those memories buried deep at the bottom of your heart... they confuse you?" Evil taunted as he looked upon Blade who snarled a bit to that. "Amaryllis, Shara's favorite flower, will make the perfect funeral wreath for a traitor." Evil said trying to drag this for as long as he can. "I'm sure she'll be happy, too!" Evil called out and thus Nick had enough of his brother's madness.
"Shut up!" Blade yelled as he glared at his dark twin brother. "Don't say that... don't say that..." Blade snarled as he began to make his way torts Evil allowing rage to cloud his mind.
Evil laughed a bit to this as he saw what was going on. "That's right, let your rage blind you beyond all reason." Evil said as he wanted to see Blade reach his combat limit. But still he needed to draw it out more and in turn Evil charged in to do battle with Blade.
"SHUT UP!" Blade roared out and charged at Evil and in turn the twin brothers reignited their struggle against each other.
(Autobot Base)
"Wreckers the Radan are starting to pull back have you shut down the core!" Ratchet called out as the humans heard what was going on.
"Yeah disconnected the power cables and force activated the cooling systems." Ironhide was heard and thus Ratchet sighed until an alert came on from another screen. Raf was also there as he saw it on his own computer.
"Ratchet Nick's almost reached the full 30 minutes!" Raf called out knowing Nick was close to his absolute limit. "He only has 3 minutes left to transform back." Raf said as the 3 minute alert was seen.
"Commander One, Chromia to free Pegas now!" Ratchet urged knowing they were out of time now.
(Meanwhile over with Team Elita)
"Understood!" Elita called out as she and Arcee regrouped with their team and in turn Arcee used her arm blades to finish cutting Pegas free. Once he was freed Elita came with her order for the small bot. "Pegas return to Nick he is reaching his operational limit!" Elita ordered and thus Pegas understood.
"Roger!" Pegas called out and thus activated his boosters to fly up and then after going jet form flew to where Nick was located.
(Back with Blade vs Evil)
Blade and Evil continued their duel as they were clearly intent on killing each other. That was of course until Evil got up behind Blade and with a firm grasp threw Blade over to the ground. Thankfully Blade activated his boosters before he crashed and safely landed on his feet. He was about to go back in until he felt a shock go through his mind and with it the flashing light on his forehead began to go off.
Grasping his head as he grunted in pain Blade fell to his knees as he realized he reached his limit and Pegas was nowhere to be seen. "I'm... I'm out of time." Blade cursed realizing he was in trouble again. "Pegas!" Blade cried out trying to find his partner while getting back on his feet. "Pegas!" Blade cried out again but Pegas was nowhere to be seen.
Seen his chance Evil sent an energy wire from his Tekkset Lancer and had it wrapped around Blades own weapon. In turn he proceeded to send forth electrical shocks into Blade causing his brother even more pain for it. Evil saw this and knew he had won this bout between them and he would soon reap the rewards of this victory. "Because you try to stay human; you can only be Tekkaman for 30 minutes at a time." Evil said and thus Blade realized Evil figured him out. "And once you've exceeded that limit, you'll no longer be human." Evil added as he looked to Blade knowing what was coming next.
"Dammit how did you find out?" Blade asked as he then remembered their last bout making Nick go wide eyed underneath his Tekkaman form. "Wait it was back then when..." Blade began and thus he cried out in pain when another current of shocks came at him from Evil.
(Autobot Base)
"This isn't good Pegas won't make it in time!" Raf called out as he looked to the others realizing Nick was in trouble now.
"This is bad this is real bad." Jack said as in turn Miko was wide eyed and while the girl may enjoy the ultra-violence she didn't think she wanted to see what Nick was about to become.
"D-Boy." Miko gasped and thus hoped no prayed that Pegas can make it in time.
(Back with Blade and Evil)
Evil was laughing at his brothers suffering as he saw what was happening. "I don't even have to fight you, brother all I have to do is wait and you'll self-destruct." Evil taunted as he then went back to laughing at Blade. "Thank you for the energy we need to cultivate the Radan on Earth we could not have done it without your contributions, brother." Evil taunted as Blade felt pain.
"Evil." Blade snarled as he refused to let Evil have the last laugh here. If he was going down... he was going to take Evil down with him. Thus with a roar of defiance Blade dug his feet to the ground and prepared his best shot at beating Evil. "VOLTEKKA!" Blade invoked and thus fired off his most powerful of weapons upon his twin brother.
But alas the attack missed and thus Evil stood atop a rock formation smirking down upon his twin brother. "What's wrong? Your target is right here, brother." Evil taunted Blade as Blade saw he missed. The flashing and warning sound on his forehead began to increase in tempo and urgency. But when Blade's shoulder pads closed Evil saw what was happening here. "You can't hear my voice anymore, can you?" Evil asked as he knew what was going on now.
The Flashing began to reach its zenith and with no Pegas in sight it was clear what the end result was. Eventually the light went dark and with it so did their chance to revert Blade to human form.
(Autobot Base)
The timer had reached zero and thus it was clear what had happened. "We're too late." Ratchet said to which the humans were all shocked at what they heard.
"No... D-BOY!" Miko cried out into the communications hoping Nick would answer back.
(Back with Blade)
Optimus, Jetfire, and Bumblebee arrived to find Nick standing there as Pegas arrived a moment too late. Blade stood there motionless for but a moment as Pegas hovered over him. In turn Blade began to turn to face the Autobots and with it his heroic emerald eyes turned to a bloodlust red. Seeing this Optimus knew what was going to happen and acted fast.
"Autobots stand back!" Optimus ordered and thus they got out of the way in time to avoid Blade's attack on them. He roared out like a berserker. Jetfire in response transformed and took off in jet mode after firing a few shots at Blade.
"I'll draw his fire, so Pegas can come up behind and catch him." Jetfire said and thus as he fired at Blade the savage Tekkaman looked to Jetfire and gave chase.
"Pegas." Optimus began only for Pegas to surprise him and give chase without any prompting. Pegas chased down Blade hoping to capture him and force the human turned Tekkaman back into his human form. Jetfire sent off a few flares to blind Blade and by the looks of it when they hit Blade it worked. Pegas took the chance and flew at Blade with his head area open to catch him by surprise and pull him in.
Alas this would not be the case as Blade saw Pegas and avoided him before slicing his arm off. Losing his arm caused Peas to lose his balance and thus began to fall to the ground where he crashed. Seeing this the Wreckers and Team Elita arrived to find Pegas and thus they saw Blade roaring out in blind fury.
Optimus seeing this knew what had to be done because right now they needed Pegas to be able to save Nick. "Ratchet open a ground bridge." Optimus ordered and thus Elita stepped.
"Autobots grab Pegas now!" Elita ordered just before the ground bridge opened.
Seeing this Optimus gave out the next order for this event. "Autobots, fall back!" Optimus ordered and thus with Ironhide and Bulkhead carrying Pegas retreated to the Bridge. Blade of course tried to attack but luckily the Autobots made it through and thus the Ground Bridge vanished from sight. Evil saw this and laughed sinisterly as he flew away on his Radan mount. "Kill. Go forth and rampage against the humans you were trying to protect." Evil said as he flew off as now not even Radan can control Blade as he is now.
Blade was left alone as he seemed to be swinging at an invisible enemy and once he did so he proceeded to roar out to the heavens above. Tekkaman Blade has gone out of control and the only question isn't who his victim will be but how many victims will he face on his rampage.
(TBC)
ESKK: Well here you go chapter 7 of Tekkaman Prime. I hoped you all enjoyed it and will join us for the next chapter. So until then I will once more ask for reviews on the way out and as I always say here ja-ne.
