Tekkaman Prime
ESKK: Well here we are a brand new chapter let's get this party started.
(Start Deep in Space)
In the vacuums of space Tekkaman Axe, Sword, and Lance were seen flying through as they made their way to Earth. As they flew it was clear they had a mission which was the one Omega had given them. It was unknown who they exactly were before the incident that made them, but it was clear that whatever their intentions were was not for the good of the Earth and its people. But as they continued to fly, it was clear that they much like Dagger and Omega were under the thrall of the Radan who had abducted and tortured them to make into Tekkaman.
(Scene Break Autobot Base)
Shara was on a medical bed with machines monitoring her vitals. Over her mouth was a breathing mask to ensure that she continued to breathe while she rested. After her prior attack she was brought in so they can try healing her. But considering she was on borrowed time at this point it may be pointless of them to try. But even if that was the case it was better to let her die peacefully then let her pass in agony. But still there was those who would rather see her live then to let her die with or without her powers as Tekkaman.
Nick sat by her bed watching his sister as the medical team Fowler brought tried to stabilize her. They honestly wanted to save her life but there was nothing they can do at this point. Her entire body was suffering a systematic failure all they can really do for her in the end is make her end as peaceful and painless as possible. Despite this certain Autobots were trying to find ways to save her as even if she did not keep her powers or chose to fight, Shara was young and deserved to live a full life.
On his own station in his lab Rachet was working as he typed away on his computer which currently had data on both Rapier and Shara on it. "Hard at work old friend?" Optimus asked as Rachet glanced to see Optimus and Elita approaching him.
"Among other things, Optimus and Elita." Rachet said as he had known Optimus and Elita far longer than any of their current Autobots had bar Ironhide and Chromia.
"Attempting to save a life?" Elita asked as she too wanted to save Shara but even by Cybertronian standards there was nothing they can do for her... well nothing save one thing.
"Yes." Ratchet confessed as he returned to his work. Ratchet had seen a lot of good bots die on the operating table and some died before they could get them any medical attention. It was a bitter truth that War had casualties both soldiers and civilians alike, but Ratchet was attempting this anyway. If for no other reason than it was in honor of Red Alert, who had sadly perished by the hands of Arachnid. She had always tried to save as many lives as she could even those who were already slanted for death. Despite her working with Ratchet most of the time the old medic had saw her as somewhat of a protégé in the operating theater.
"Your work is appreciated but there is little we can do for her with our currently available resources." Optimus said as he knew they did not have the equipment that can save Shara's life, nor did they even have the know how to begin operating.
"I find myself in agreement." Ratchet said as he then looked back to the data they had thus far. "It would take a Miracle of the Primes to save her at this point maybe even an act of Primus himself." Ratchet said which was then Elita chose to speak up on what she was thinking of.
"Optimus with all due respect." Elita spoke as she got Optimus attention on her as with Ratchet's. "We all know that currently we do possess a relic of the Primes in our vaults." Elita said as Optimus knew what she was talking about.
"The Ember Stone." Optimus said as he looked away from Elita knowing full well that with Ember Stone might have been able to save Shara if she was Cybertronian or a Quintesson. "But the Ember Stone creates Cybernetic Life Forms I do not believe it can revived her as you intend." Optimus said but then it got Ratchet thinking.
"Perhaps not as an Organic." Ratchet said as his mind began to run the numbers on this. "But if she was Techno-Organic at least." Ratchet said as Optimus began to see where Ratchet was going with this. A while back during the war there was an incident with a neutral bot who performed questionable experiments on the pretense of Techno-Organics as well. He was of course captured, and the planet managed to survive but now it seems to be playing a role here.
"Are you sure such a procedure can save her life?" Optimus asked as he looked to Elita and Ratchet.
"Perhaps I'll need to run the numbers but I do know one thing." Ratchet began as he was typing in the commands for such a scenario. "We will need a donor to provide the Cybertronian aspect in this possible procedure." Ratchet said as that meant one of the Cybertronian's among the Autobots of Earth had to donate a small part of themselves to save Shara's life.
But it seems they did not need to ask around as Elita stepped up to the plate. "I'll do it." Elita said as the two mechs looked to her in shock.
"Elita are you sure there is no telling if you can or if she her body will accept it." Ratchet said as he looked to Elita.
"I know but I was not always Elita 1 as you and Optimus both know." Elita said as the two mechs did know this fact. After all they were there when Ariel was reformatted into Elita 1. "I'm hoping my unique make up may be able to act as the deciding factor in saving her life." Elita said as she intended to do all she could within her power to save Shara's life.
"I will allow this but only if Shara gives her consent." Optimus said as he would not take Shara's choice away since this was experimental and it could change Shara's life forever.
(Later with Nick and Shara)
Miko, Jack, Raf, Sierra and June had all gone home for the evening with their guardian's Bulkhead, Arcee, Chromia, and Bumblebee. Nick stayed behind to watch over Shara as he wanted to be there for her. Coby, Bud, and Lori had gone home with Moonracer while Kicker and Misha went home with Firestar. Right now only Ironhide, Optimus, Elita, Ratchet, Jetfire, and Perceptor were at the base.
At the moment Shara was just resting to preserve her strength. At least until she began to wake up which got Nick's attention. "Shara, are you ok?" Nick asked as he looked to his younger sister with concern.
"Yes." Shara said with a small nod as she knew Nick was worried for her.
"Is there anything you need right now?" Nick asked as he looked to Shara.
Shara was quiet for a moment as she looked to the ceiling above her. "I want to see the ocean." Shara said as she looked to the ceiling. "The one we used to play in when we were small." Shara spoke as Nick knew exactly what Shara was talking about. "I remember it still how we use to spend out days playing there I can remember even the smallest details from the power station to the light house." Shara said as Nick did know what she was talking about. After all Evil tricked him into exceeding his 30 minute limit there.
"We can go right now if you're feeling up to it." Nick said as he looked to Shara wanting to make her final moments count.
"I am feeling up to it but I'd rather we go at dawn." Shara said confusing Nick for a moment. Sensing the unasked question Shara answered it. "At night the moon is up." Shara said as she looked away as Nick knew why she didn't want to go while the moon was up. After all the moon currently brought with it a great deal of painful memories for the Carter siblings. Memories that Nick and Shara did not want to be reminded of. Nick understood his sister and her reasons and thus he would honor her request yet unaware of the Autobots plan to save Shara's life.
(Radam's hidden base)
Evil was within a recovery pod as his body was a wreck after what happen between him and Nick in their last battle, when he use his Psi Voltekka against blade, it was just over powered by Blade's Hi-colt Voltekka.
The dark Energon was able to substance his life long enough to reach his base and recover from his wounds but it would be a while before he could, and he knew if he were to face against blade right now, he would most likely lose again like last time. But Evil took some comfort in knowing that he will soon not be alone in his mission anymore. Suddenly 3 Tekkamen suddenly show up within his base, as he had sensed them coming and in turn waited for them to arrive. The newly arrived Tekkaman all stood before him while he was within the pod. Currently the only thing that was visible to see was his head while his body was cover in the darkness of the pod. With his eyes glowing red, he look up at the 3 new Tekkamen and said, "I've been waiting for you. Axe, Lace, sword."
"What happen to you? It looks like you got hit by a runaway train," Lance said with a tone that almost sounded like he was laughing at Evil. In response Evil's eyes glow a bright violet color from the energy Dark Energon as he said, "Silence Lance!"
This made the Tekkaman back away by Evil's voice as well felt the dark energy radian off of evil within the pod, as Evil said to him, "I may have let my guard down that put me into position, but don't think for a moment that I am in anyway unable to cause harm to you while I am like this."
some Radam that were under Evil's control stood by under his command, no doubt using the power of the Dark Energon gave him more power over the Radam themselves out of fear and respect, with Axe look to lance and said, "Keep your mouth shut unless spoken to, Lance." Axe then directed his attention back to Evil before he continued speaking. "Forgive his arrogance Evil, he doesn't know how to show proper respect yet."
"Very well axe," evil said with everyone staying silent as sword didn't say a word still, no doubt there was something about her that scream mysterious, with evil thinking to himself as he thought, "When my wounds heal, I'll make sure you suffer for this Blade!"
(Back at the Autobot base)
The Space Knight's had arrived back at the base with the normal teens in their respective guardians, as Raf, Jack, Miko, sierra, and everyone else notice Ratchet was hard at work with something on the screen showing an image of the ember stone, and Tekkaman Rapier with some diagram of the female human body with marks around the body no doubt it was plans for Shara's treatment, not like the group would know this what is happening as Kicker called out, "Hey doc-bot!"
Ratchet groin a bit while rolling his eyes to that nickname as he get enough of that from Miko and didn't want anyone else calling him that as he said, "What do you want Kicker?"
"Hey why the rude talk, just wondering where boss man and his sister ran off to?" Kicker asked as he was followed by Firestar.
"Now that I look Elita and Ironhide are missing too." Chromia said as she saw her commanding officer and her conflux were missing as well as was Pegas.
"If you must know Nick and Shara had gone with Ironhide and Elita to the sight of a previous Radan confrontation nothing life threatening mind you simply a drive." Ratchet said as he gave Chromia a look which she knew meant to not dig in since this was the Siblings story not theirs.
"Good for them." Miko said to which Arcee, Bumblebee, Jack, Raf, and Bulkhead all looked to Miko in shock. Even Ratchet was caught off guard by what Miko said and for once did NOT do.
"Miko what are you planning?" Bulkhead asked as he looked to Miko with concern.
"Nothing, what Nick and Shara is an immediate family first which means I need to butt out." Miko said as she then headed to her normal hang out spot and of course found Misha in her normal spot. "Ok Misha do you EVER leave?" Miko asked as Misha then looked to Miko with a bored look.
"On occasion." Misha said and thus Miko was surprised by that.
"Trust me when she's working on something big, she's a lot worse." Kicker said as he climbed the steps to meet them since he knew Misha the best.
"Yeah, well I got some stuff to do anyway." Miko said as she began to head off on her own a bit.
"And what's that?" Bud asked as he jumped out from behind the sofa to sit on it.
"Eh a welcome present to the new girl." Miko said as Sierra heard this while climbing the steps.
"Basically, Miko found out Shara and Nick like Stan Bush and is trying to score tickets to a Stan Bush performance." Sierra said and thus Misha nodded to this.
"TRAITOR!" Miko yelled as she got caught red handed with her scheme.
"It's a good thought and that's why Misha and I've been helping." Sierra argued much to Miko's shock.
"Wait you have?" Miko said pulling a 180 in her demeanor.
"Yes, and good news we managed to find tickets with VIP passes bad news we're short on cash." Misha added as she showed her computer screen to show they found tickets and like Misha said was pretty damn pricey.
"Dang." Miko said and then turned her attention to Jack who was with Arcee.
"Jack!" Miko called as she came down the steps to talk to Jack. Jack was caught off guard as Miko was few octanes too loud as she got to him. "I need a job fast!" Miko called out as she clearly was intent on those tickets and VIP passes.
"Miko hold your horses!" Jack said causing the group to roll their eyes a bit.
"So, where are the others?" Arcee asked as she walked over to Ratchet noticing Perceptor was now where in sight nor were Moonracer, or Jetfire.
"Perceptor is somewhere in the back making modifications to the base's power grid." Ratchet began as he then went on to the others. "Moonracer and Jetfire on the other hand are with Coby and Lori. From what I was told Lori and Jetfire went out to train while Coby and Moonracer are apparently working on something." Ratchet said as he looked to Arcee before returning to his work.
"Never pegged Racer for a builder." Arcee said but Ratchet had a response.
"She's not, Coby seems to have her helping with the heavy lifting." Ratchet said and thus Arcee smiled as she knew she should have expected as much from the Velocitron Native.
"So, any news on when Commander One and Ironhide will be back with Shara and Nick?" Arcee asked as she looked to Ratchet.
"Not long mostly depends on how long Shara desires to remain there." Ratchet said as Arcee understood as she felt sorry for the girl. With how young she was it made Arcee wonder over Jack being in such a situation.
"Well, I have tasks so let me know if something comes up." Arcee said as she walked in to see Miko shaking Jack to get her a job at the burger place as Jack was trying to get Miko off him.
(Scene Break Fowler Military Base)
Fowler made his way inside the Office of General Bryce as lately things have been getting buggy with the bugs on the path of invasion. He had already submitted his report on what Shara AKA Tekkaman Rapier had reported. Needless to say, Fowler suspected with this information the Pentagon is getting ready for war.
"Agent Fowler." Bryce greeted as the General welcomed Fowler into his room.
"General Bryce." Fowler greeted as he knew why he was called here. "I suspect this is about my recent report?" Fowler said as Bryce nodded to this.
"Something along those lines, take a seat." Bryce said before Fowler in turn sat down on a chair. "Now our higher ups got your report on our newest alien visitors and the ones who broke free." Bryce said as he looked to Fowler as William nodded in response.
"Yes, the lucky survivors on their part." Fowler said knowing full well that the Tekkaman despite their ages were the only ones who had the power to combat Radan. Fowler had also made it quite clear in his report that while Cybertron had taken on in the past its people had all assumed after they won Radan would never show up again. He also added in a later report that the other survivors were on their side thanks to the medical aid in removing the mind control parasite from inside them.
"And we are certain their primary base is on the moon?" Bryce asked as he looked to Fowler.
"Yes, the dark side of the moon is facing away from any spot we can launch a NASA out to and to prepare an assault force to take their base will be near suicide." Fowler said as creating a military space unit was a tricky subject.
"So, you want us to rely on these, Teknomen to fight for us?" Bryce asked with a raised brow.
"Yes and despite being turned they were born and raised on Earth they have the most to fight for in defending our world." Fowler said making very clear they needed the Tekkaman on their side for this coming battle.
"Be that as it may our higher ups fear giving you sole liaison of our assets against both the Decepticons and these Radan is asking for trouble. Washington is already running the numbers on a full-on assault on the Radan Main Headquarters for their invasion, but they need someone to ensure the Tekkaman can still be relied upon and trusted." Bryce said and thus a knock on the door was heard. "Oh, speak of the devil." Bryce said and thus looked to the door. "Come in." Fowler ordered and in turn the door opened and from it a woman walked in dressed in a uniform similar to Fowlers but with a skirt instead of pants.
"Agent Fowler meet Agent Makaila Witwicki Washington's new Liaison with the Tekkaman." Bryce said as the woman before them was young but by the look in her eyes she had clearly seen combat. Fowler was an Army Ranger and served a few tours so he knew how to identify a soldier even a retired one.
'Oh boy.' Fowler said as he realized he had yet to inform his higher ups on the kids, Jack, Miko, and Raf.
"Now Agent Fowler." Makaila began as she looked to Fowler. "Before we begin, I'm going to need all you have on the Tekkaman and I do mean everything." Makaila said as she needed to know exactly what she was getting herself into. "And I need you to set up a bit of a meet and greet with them." She added no doubt taking her job seriously since she was basically doing unwanted babysitting in her mind. Fowler knew he might be in trouble unless he can spin a way to get himself and the kids out of it once, Ms. Witwicki learns of Jack, Miko, and Raf.
(Scene Break Beach)
With Nick and Shara together at the beach in the early morning as they watch the sun rises, with Ironhide and Elita park outside the beach giving the sibling some time alone, but keep on standby if needed as no telling if any Radam would come or not.
Even though the area was change greatly with the damage from the battle there before with evil, Nick didn't think Shara was enjoying it there as he said to her, "We can head back Shara."
"No need Nick, even though the place had change a bit, it still hold great memories," Shara said as she look to the flower field she loved as most of the flowers were still there at least as Shara suddenly grab Nick's arms and said to him, "Let go for a walk, alright?"
"A-alright," Nick said as he follow his sisters wishes as they walk more towards the beach, with Ironhide still keeping watch as he said, "That kid is something else, there nothing much he can do for her but he still keep on going."
"This is the best thing he can do for her anyways; as they should spend as much time together as they can before anything else can happen," Elita said as Ironhide notice something in Elita's tone of voice as it didn't sound sad but a bit worry as he soon asked, "What is going to happen commander?"
"You'll have to wait and see, as right now some details are still being worked out," Elita said as she didn't want to give away the plan of saving Shara's life as there wasn't a guarantee that the idea could work or not, as Ratchet is handling the plan on the transplant while Optimus was preparing himself to use the Ember stone as no doubt it would take a lot of strain on him and a lot of energy to use it in the first place with everything being set up it was just a matter of succeeding or not.
(Meanwhile over with Nick and Shara)
The sibling were enjoyed their walk across the beach before they stop at a spot, with Nick sitting in the sand was he watch Shara enjoy herself, as Shara went out to the waters and stick her feet into the wet sand while the waves of the water wash over her feet as she smiled and laugh to this as she said, "It's very cold out. Come and join me Nick."
"Maybe later," Nick said to her as he just letting Shara enjoy herself for the time being as Shara give a smile and suddenly said to him, "Hey Nick, you like Miko, right?"
"Ah! W-what brought that on?" Nick asked blushing a bit to that as Shara look to him and said, "Don't try to hide it Nick, you're not good at hiding it as your face tells me you do, not tell me the truth, do you like her?"
Nick wanted to resort something but couldn't think of what to say to his sister as he sighed and give in a bit as he said, "Miko is a good friend, she may be very enthusiastic, wild, a bit demanding, but… that is a part of her charm and she does care a lot, kind of hard to believe she make me feel… normal, a normal human being and she… fun to be around."
He rub his head at that last part as Shara smile at Nick as she was happy that Nick was able to find someone that cares for him and vice versa as he went on saying, "It's hard to understand… I guess she brought out something I thought I lost."
Shara smile to this as she turn to the sea as she look towards the run rise as she said within a bit of a sad tone, "I'm glad… sometime you looked sad, even when were kids, and I worry about you ever since… mom, dad, Cain, and soon me as well…"
Shara went silent after that as Nick knew what she meant, as their mother and father were now gone, Cain was no longer himself, no telling what happen with Conrad and his fiancé, and Shara was slowly dying, Nick will be alone without his family.
Shara turn back to him with a happy tone again as she said, "But I feel much better now that you found someone like Miko."
Shara walk over to him before kneeling down before Nick as she said to him," Can I tell you something?"
"What is it?" Nick said to her as Shara gave a look to nick before she said, "I feel a bit jealous."
"Eh?" Nick went before Shara started to laugh seeing the look on Nick's face as she said, "I'm just kidding you Nick."
Shara keep laughing as Nick just looked annoyed at his sister for that, then suddenly Elita came driving up to the sibling as she give a honk to her horn as Nick turns to her and said, "What's up Elita?"
"Nick, Shara. There something important I need to tell you two," Elita said as she knew this probably the best time to tell them as she also knew time was slowly running out.
(Later back at the Autobot base)
"Prime we got a bit of a situation." Fowler said as he exited the elevator with Witwicki close behind him.
"If I may ask who is this Agent Fowler?" Optimus asked when he saw the new arrival.
"Agent Mikayla Witwicki." Mikayla introduced as she looked to Optimus.
"She's the new Liaison for the Tekkaman assigned by our higher ups." Fowler said as he clearly sounded a bit worried as there was good reason for it.
"Fowler has been filling me in on certain events involving Team Prime and needless to say I was not expecting a day care to be run." Mikayla said as she glared at Fowler and Optimus showing she knew about Jack, Miko, Raf, and Sierra.
"I understand your concern." Optimus began but was cut off by Witwicki.
"Look Fowler sold the idea of it for humanitarian reasons which is the only reason I have not reported this to General Bryce." Mikayla said as she made it clear on her stance here. "But if those children get any more involved than they already have then we'll be sharing words." Mikayla said making it clear she does NOT approve but will allow it ONLY so long as human safety is priority.
"Make no mistake Agent Witwicki human safety has been and shall always be this teams foremost of priorities." Optimus said as he gave Mikayla a stern look.
"Good just making sure we're on the same page." Mikayla said as she was holding Optimus to it.
"Yo Optimus I think I made a..." Coby began as he walked in to find the scene before him. "Um is this a bad time?" Coby asked as he saw the new arrival.
"I suppose your one of the Tekkaman?" Mikayla asked as she looked to Coby.
"Uh yes..." Coby began as he was nervous before Mikayla got to the biggest bit.
"Alright then, first question where, is your leader, Blade?" The special agent asked as she looked to Coby.
"He's currently out at the moment he should be back soon." Coby said and thus Mikayla got to her second question.
"Alright and who is in command of the Tekkaman in his absence?" She asked as Coby was now worried.
"I don't think he ever decided on who's his second." Coby admitted and thus Mikayla sighed to this.
"Guess I'm waiting around." Mikayla said as she in turn looked to Optimus. "So while I'm waiting I'll need to be brought up to speed." Mikayla said and thus Optimus knew he was on deck for this.
"Very well." Optimus said as he then began to bring Mikayla up to speed on the current situation with the Decepticons and Radan.
(Back with Nick and Shara)
"Wait you can do what?" Nick asked when he heard Elita speak.
"As we speak, Ratchet and Optimus are working on a method to save your life but it may very well change your life as well." Elita spoke as she looked to Shara. "In layman's terms it would basically be reformatting your entire being to infuse Cybertronian matter upon you via the Ember Stone." Elita said as she was happy they secured that particular Relic before arriving on Earth. "But it would require a donner and I had offered to do so in hopes my unique make up would be compatible with yours." Elita said as she looked to Nick and Shara. "But it does have risks and we're attempting to negate those risks as much as we can but it's basically what you humans would call a coin toss on the result, either it's a success or accelerates the inevitable." Elita spoke as she was trying to make sure Shara and Nick had all the information.
"Will I... will I no longer be a Tekkaman?" Shara asked as she hoped that was the case.
"I'm sorry you will still retain the abilities but they will be yours to command as you see fit." Elita said as she knew that Ratchet had made close to now major progress on reversing the effects of a Tekk-Set System on a human.
"I see..." Shara said as she figured that may have been the case but no one can blame her for getting her hopes up.
"Shara... normally I'd try to give you time to think it over but I fear you may not have the time to do so, the sooner you make a decision the sooner we can make the attempt." Elita said as she honestly did not wish to rush Shara into this but with her failing health they had little time to think.
"How can you be so sure it's safe?" Nick asked as he did not want to lose his sister in an instant like that.
"We don't and honestly if we had more time we'd at least test it but... Nick you've lost a great deal your family and your friends." Elita began as she looked to Nick. "I can't stop you from interfering but this is Shara's choice and if anyone knows what it's like to lose a brother to conflicting ideals... I can promise you Optimus would know." Elita urged as she knew how close Megatron and Optimus used to be before the war for Cybertron. "Nick all that is needed now is your resolve." Elita said as she knew Nick wanted his sister to live and this may be his best if not only chance to see it happen so she may live a full life.
Nick did in fact want his sister to live, to see her grow up more make friends, and maybe even intimidate any boyfriend she tries to bring home. Wanting to see her future Nick looked to Shara who looked back and saw the look in his eyes. Nick wanted her to live but not at the risk of losing her instantly. But he also didn't want to see Shara die as well due to Radan and wanted her to have a future. Shara knew Nick well and knew that he would respect whatever choice she made and in a way she did look up to Elita.
With a choice made Shara made her decision on the matter of her health. "Alright I'll do it." Shara said as she looked to Elita who nodded in response.
"I can't promise you will live through it but we will do all we can." Elita said as she looked to Shara. "If you wish to return to base now we can but if not." Elita said showing she will let Shara stay here for a bit longer.
"No." Shara said as she looked to Elita. "It will be here when we get back." Shara admitted as she had hope that she will survive this.
With a nod Elita went to contact the base. "Ratchet open a ground bridge we're coming back." Elita said and thus they got ready for Shara's lifesaving surgery. She hoped that by the end of it they can ensure the girls quality of life.
(Scene Break Autobot Base)
With the Ground Bridge active Elita and Ironhide drove through with Ironhide towing Pegas in his trailer. Once they made it through the Autobots transformed to robot mode again after letting the Tekkaman out. Once they were out Mikayla who had been speaking with Optimus had noticed Nick and walked over to him.
"Nick Carter?" Mikayla asked as Nick was on edge when he saw her out of habit.
"Who's asking?" Nick asked as he was skeptical about this woman.
"Mikayla Witwicki your teams new Liaison." Mikayla said as she looked to Nick as she was expecting someone older here.
"What?" Nick asked when he heard this woman reveal herself.
"She's here to take over watching over you," Agent Fowler came up to them and explained it as he said, "The government decided to have another person to managing you and the other space knights sense my place is managing over Autobots and their war with the cons."
"Alright," Nick said as he should have known the government would put someone here to keep a watchful eye on him and the others. It seem they aren't as trusting to the Tekkaman as some would think, as Mikayla suddenly said, "I'll also be monitoring and reporting what you and others do with your fight against the Radam, as much as I would like all of you to keep out of it and let the government handle them."
"And why's that?" Nick said as he stood his ground well enough to show flaw in his position of the Tekkamen leadership as Agents Witwicki said, "You are just children, you shouldn't even be on a battle field." Mikayla said as the way she said it Nick noted it came from personal experience. "You and your little gang here are just barely old enough to watch Rated R movies and play mature games."
"But?" Nick said as he knew there was more as Mikayla roll her eyes a bit as it seem she hated that word as she said, "But it seem the higher up wants to keep you to face the Radam threat and I have no say in that matter, so you and the other Space Knights, as your calling yourselves, best remember to keep out of trouble."
"Keep our trust and that won't be a problem, so if there's anything else as right now, I'm needed elsewhere at the moment. Nice meeting you Agent Witwicki and hope we can work well together," Nick said without changing his strong tone while soon after walking off as Mikayla just stood there with an almost scolding look on her face as Flower knew thing are starting off a bit rocky, and he hope the new agent would get use to thing as no doubt this was probably the last thing she wanted to do, as Mikayla said, "Why is that… kid a leader?"
"He may have a few rough edges but he's a good kid, and he is good at what he does and the only one that knows more about using their powers and knowing the enemy, he's just going through a couple of rough days," Flower said as keeping the fact that Shara was slowly dying and doesn't know if the lifesaving procedure would work or not as Mikayla said, "Then what about Shara Carter, his sister, doesn't she knows the enemy well and know how to use her powers seeing as she provided valuable enemy intel for us?"
"She's not eligible in her condition I'm afraid, and what I known of her, she isn't the type to lead anyways. Like it or not Miss Witwicki, Nick is the only one that can lead his ragtag group and the only one strong enough to face Evil," Fowler said as suddenly the alarm went off causing the group to move into action in response to it.
"What's the situation?" Nick asked as he ran back to the area wondering what just happened.
"Radan." Misha said as she was on her computer in her corner of paradise which was closer to where Raf tend to do most of his work. She then moved it to the big screen and thus the group saw that Radan units were descending from above onto what looked to be a Military Base.
"I know that base, it's in the Middle East, why would they attack there?" Mikayla asked and thus Nick spoke up.
"It's because its populated but out of the way, they plan to use the fact humans don't know they exist to make recruitment runs and expand their reach." Nick said as it was Radan MO in terms of invasions. "And a military base with trained troops would be an ideal spot to attack as opposed to a random out of the way town." Nick said as he glared at the situation.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Kicker asked ready to move but Nick stopped him. "Oh come on really?!" Kicker asked as Nick got down to it.
"If we get exposed then then at the very least let it be me." Nick said as he knew the troops were fighting back as best they could but even than if they saw them, they were bound to end up on international news.
"Or maybe not." Fowler said as he then looked to the group. "I might have something and our big brain bot has been helping with it." Fowler said as Perceptor smirked to this.
(Later)
"This is from or M.A.S.K division a specialized multi lair alloy that boosts the wearers speed and endurance enough that you can probably bench press two Raptors." Fowler said as Mikayla knew of it and knew what it involved. Before them were specialized combat suits that covered every bit of body with a helmet that had noticeable tech modifications on it. "Basically it can take almost as much punishment as a bot." Fowler added as Nick was actually impressed by it.
"Why isn't it standard equipment then?" Nick asked as he looked to the armor and thus Lori had similar thoughts.
"Yeah, it sounds useful if not expensive." Lori said as she looked to the suit in question that she assumed would be hers.
"The suits are extremely reactive that its benefits were outweighed by its fatal drawbacks, the previous test users well not many were lucky." Fowler said as he knew one guy who made these armors. "Thankfully Perceptor rectified the problem." Fowler said as Perceptor walked in with a smile on his face.
"I had learned that the suits inner layer was the primary detrimental variable and had required significant correction to rectify it." Perceptor said as he showed the image of the suits after he finished tinkering with them. "While I had to scale it down to ensure for safe usage it more than makes up for in its use." Perceptor said as Nick saw how military they look. "It's not the Sol Tekkaman suit your government has made Agent Fowler, but it is a close second ideal for the Tekkaman." Perceptor said as Kicker saw the suit that would be his.
"Well, we can hide our faces and we can fight so we clear to go or what?" Lori asked and thus Nick knew he had no choice here.
"Alright." Nick said for once agreeing with them. "Kicker, Coby, and Lori you three are with me, Bud, Misha you two stay here." Nick said and thus it was time to move out.
"What!?" Bud cried out when he heard he was still a bench warmer here.
"Hoowah!" Miko cheered as she knew what came next for this group.
"I don't like it." Mikayla said as she saw the group heading out.
"None of us do Agent Witwicki." Elita said as she looked to Mikayla. "But at the moment we don't have a choice." She said and thus looked to Fowler. "Fowler are we cleared for deployment?" Elita asked as she looked to the Autobots liaison.
"Pentagon want's the Tekkaman to deal with Radan, Team Prime is on standby." Fowler said and thus Nick knew what this meant.
"A trial by fire." Nick said knowing full well what this meant for them. "I guess we have no choice then." Nick said as he hoped the three Tekkaman he was bringing with him were up to this sort of trial. "Suit up we leave in 2 minutes." Nick said and thus the trio went to their suits to get ready. "Can someone get the troops out of there if able?" Nick asked and thus William and Mikayla knew that was their que there.
"I'll make some calls." Mikayla said and thus she pulled out her phone to get the troops to fall back.
(Later Combat Sight)
As Radan was on the attack military troops were firing upon them while moving away to a safer position. The attack had come out of nowhere for them as most of guns bar RPG and their Grenade Launchers hardly scratched these, plant like bugs. As the troops began to fall back Radan began to advance further as they had a clear mission to complete here.
Just then a Ground Bridge opened up and from it the Space Knights jumped out of it as they were now dressed in new suits with the crest Nick created on them. Following them was Pegas as he in turn began firing his guns upon the Radan. Once he did this the Space Knights hid behind Pegas for cover and in turn Nick looked to them. The suits were built for functionality as from what Nick saw they came with a breathing apparatus as well as comm. links for them to stay in contact. It was a bit over complicated but luckily Nick made sense of it. It also kept tactical data for them in the event Ratchet was unable to.
Kickers, suit had the crest on his left breastplate as his had a mouth guard and a visor across the eyes. Their suits were similar to each other with only the helmets being different from each other for functionality or tech. "Ok we're here and the bugs are here too!" Kicker called out as Pegas protected the Tekkaman by firing upon the Radan.
"What do we do now?" Coby asked as he looked over to Nick with concern for this.
"Yeah do we transform and roll out?" Lori asked as Nick glared at her for that.
"I don't do a battle cry." Nick said and thus he got to the gist of it. "Just transform into Tekkaman!" Nick called out and thus everyone got the memo.
Kicker started it off as he took out a magenta, colored crystal from a compartment on his right arm that opened to his right hand. The Crystal in question looked similar to a star and had it ready. "TEKK-SETTER!" Kicker called out holding it up and activating the crystal in question. Once it did so his body blasted off and in doing so began his transformation. Not long after Kicker was once more in the form of his Tekkaman state as he drew forth his Claymore and was ready for battle. "Tekkaman Claymore!" Kicker called out and took a battle stance.
Lori came next as she held her crystal forward. "TEKK-SETTER!" She invoked and while charging into the battle against Radan. In doing so she blasted off and proceeded to tear her way through Radan while fighting them off. "Tekkaman Scythe!" She invoked as she sliced through a Radan with the curved blade of her scythe looking like a space age Grim Reaper.
"TEKK-SETTER!" Coby invoked next as he got out from cover that Pegas provided and flew upward in his transformation. Once he was high enough the energy comet that held Kicker came back down and in turn slammed a war hammer down upon the Radan before he swung it about taking out the multiple Radan attacking them. "TEKKAMAN HAMMER!" Coby called out and thus began to attack the Radan in an attempt to take them down.
"PEGAS! TEKK-SETTER!" Nick invoked as he stood behind Pegas.
"ROGER!" Pegas responded and in turn opened up his interlock chamber once more. Once that was done Nick jumped in and proceeded to begin the transformation. Pegas then took off and flew torts the enemy and after getting close enough his head port opened and from it Tekkaman Blade shot out.
Once Blade spun and landed on Pegas back he drew his weapon and thus was ready for battle. "Tekkaman Blade!" Blade invoked as he took a battle stance to fight off against Radan.
Once the transformations were completed the Space Knights began to fight back against Radan. For those who had blades they slashed and cleaved through their foes staining the ground with their innards and fluids. As they continued to bring down the hurt on Radan. Just then one of the Radan fired off an acid attack at Scythe who dodged it and flew back a bit. "Sorry too slow!" She called out and threw her scythe as it then began to spin before stabbing into the Radan in question. Scythe rejoined the battle and took her weapon back thankful to the Radan instincts that helped her use her powers here. Once that was done, she looked behind in time to see a Radan about to attack her.
But thankfully Scythe had backup as Hammer came down and spun before slamming the hammer into the Radan sending it flying with great force. Following it up was Claymore as he went on to slash on through the Radan with his claymore. In doing so Claymore killed the monster by slicing it in two before it landed behind him. "Heh piece of cake." Kicker boasted only for more Radan to show up.
Pegas and Blade came down upon the Radan as they proceeded to slice their way through them making sure that each one suffered a fatal injury as he passed through them. One by one the Radan fell as Blade eventually got to the last Radan and cut it open a bit before tearing out its innards. Once that was done Blade glared down on the dead Radan, he took out by himself as his three teammates were left in shock at what they were seeing from their leader. But at the moment while they were winning the team was left unaware of what was going on back at the base.
(Autobot Base)
"Well, they're doing well thus far." Mikayla said as she was skeptical about the opening bit of this fight. But so far Nick was keeping focused on the battle at hand and making sure to keep an eye out on his 'team,' to make sure they also focused on the battle.
"You kidding they're kicking ass!" Miko cheered as she saw the battle while Misha monitored it from her station. But as Shara watched the battle nearby, she prayed Nick would make it back in one piece. She still had so much she wanted to talk to her brother about before the promised time. But it seems it would come sooner than Shara would as she suddenly began to stumble a bit as she held her head while pain began to course through her body. If she had knocked over a few objects near her when she did no one would have realized she had fallen over. "Shara?" Miko asked as she looked to Shara and was then wide eyed as she began to scream in pain with the Tekk-Set System's marks appearing on her body.
"Oh no." Jack gasped as even Sierra was shocked about this.
"What's going on?" Mikayla asked as she looked to Shara knowing full well this was not normal.
"The Tekk-Set System it's reacting again." Perceptor said as he realized that they might have less time than they thought they did.
Jack reacting to this took out his phone knowing who to call for this. Using the speed dial he began to call the only woman aware of all this and of Shara. "Mom?" Jack began when his mother picked up. "There's an emergency it's Shara." Jack explained and in turn got the call through.
"Optimus, Elita." Ratchet began as he used a scanner on Shara to see where or what was causing it this time. "I fear we may not have enough time to run the numbers." Ratchet said as the Autobots knew what this meant.
"What's going on?" Mikayla asked again as she wanted answers NOW!
"You might want to sit down for this." Fowler said as the Autobots began to get to work with the humans providing what aid they could for her.
(Meanwhile back at the battle)
The area around the Space Knights had taken severe damage as they began to look around a bit. Fires were burning as the Radan forces were taken care of as Blade noticed something off about this. "We got them!" Kicker cheered as he saw they won this fight. "Not bad for our first outing hey boss?" Claymore asked only for Blade to raise h is free hand to silence Kicker.
"This was too easy." Blade said as Claymore stood confused by this.
"How can you be so sure?" Hammer as sked but Scythe cut in.
"No, he's right this sort of attack Radan wouldn't send troops for this so easily it might have been a diversion." Scythe said only for them to all go wide eyed when they began to sense not only Evil but THREE Other Tekkaman nearby. They all looked and in turn saw Cain walking forth with three other humans with him, two male and one female all of whom Blade recognized.
"Ah Blade, I was hoping for this." Cain said as he then took noticed to Blade's team. "And what a delight you brought your 'team,' along for the ride." Cain went on as he then gestured to his own allies. "I felt it would be best to bring my own 'team,' along as well." Cain said as he then held his crystal at the ready. "But this day I promise you, that you will die today, Blade." Cain said and thus they all held their crystals at the ready.
"TEKK-SETTER!" they all invoked holding their crystals high and in turn flew around the team as they stood back-to-back. The Four Evil Tekkaman flew around with Evil's transformation leaving small particles of Dark Energon about. Soon they all landed and surrounded the Tekkaman ready to do battle once more.
"TEKKAMAN LANCE!" Lance began as his eyes flashed to life with a crimson glow.
"TEKKAMAN AXE!" Axe announced as his eyes did the same as he was clearly the muscle in this battle.
"TEKKAMAN SWORD!" Sword announced as the only female member of these enemy Tekkaman as she glared at the heroes.
Tekkaman Evil stood there for a moment before chuckling knowing full well that Blade and his team would not stand long against other Tekkaman. "Tekkaman Blade, I'm going to destroy you along with your Space Knights and the Tekkaman rebellion you ignited." Evil called out and in turn Blade knew he had no choice but to fight.
"Um what's the play boss?" Claymore asked as he looked to Blade with concern.
"Die Space Knight!" Lance called out and in turn charged in forcing Kicker to fly back as Lance came at him. The two flew upward and began a sky battle. Following it up was Axe as he roared out and went for Hammer opting Coby to jump back and avoid the attack. Once Axe weapon slammed down, he flew after Hammer and proceeded to give chase. Next came Scythe as she flew out and went for Sword causing the two females to clash against each other before leaving only Blade and Evil there.
Blade then roared out and began to do battle with Evil as the two brothers clashed blades once more. Blade knew to be wary of Evil as he knew full well that with the Dark Energon in his system Evil had a heavy advantage against Blade. But Blade would not allow that to stop him but first things first he would do what he could to best his twin brother and help the others.
(Meanwhile back at the base)
Shara was being prepped for surgery as Ratchet left his station in command of Perceptor while he provided aid. Elita was current on a berth as she was preparing to be put into stasis for what came next. Nearby using Perceptors machine that he constructed with Ratchet Optimus prepared to use the Ember Stone as he looked to it and Elita with concern.
"Please... let this work do not allow another innocent life to fall." Optimus prayed as he held the stone ready as he would even grovel if it meant saving this one innocent life.
Just then the Autobot leader felt servos touch his own and thus looked to see Elita moments from being placed into Stasis for this operation. "It will work Optimus." Elita assured her beloved to give him hope.
"Are you certain of this?" Optimus asked clearly unsure if this was the right choice to make.
"No." Elita said as she smiled to Optimus. "It's just a feeling." She said and laid back down with a cord connected to her so Ratchet may begin.
"Inducing Stasis." Ratchet said preparing to begin operating on Elita with June helping with Shara.
"Heh... it's funny you know, Orion." Elita began as she began to drift to rest. "When I had pictured us having sparklings... this was not exactly... what I... had... in mind." Elita trailed off as she fell into Stasis so Ratchet may begin operating. Thankfully the bots were off in another room so they would not have to watch which was good. Moonracer was not one for the operating theater unless she was the one under stasis for it.
As the operation began Optimus held the Ember Stone and watched how it activated in his hand. In turn Prime focused on it and was thus assaulted by a great deal of knowledge and information. As this happened he focused his thoughts and with the Matrix directed the energy for one task in mind. Seeing Elita and Shara the Autobot leader focused on them and thus with a nod Ratchet began to do the cutting on his part for Elita.
During this Shara was being put under herself as she had a hair net as she looked to June and in turn June's heart went out to her. The way she looked to June had hope in those eyes. But that hope was tainted with the acceptance of the possibility it might not work. Focusing her thoughts June had every intention of making sure Shara pulled through and in turn as Shara eventually drifted to her own sleep June was ready to start her part in all of this.
(Back to the battle)
In the sky Claymore and Lance flew around each other as they clashed for a bit with Lance weapon having one side while Claymore's weapon was heavy and two handed. Claymore then flew back and in turn Lance gave chase to Claymore intent on harming him. "Pathetic child there's no escape!" Lance called out as he chased down Claymore intent to cause him harm. Lance then sped up and thus roared as Claymore looked and quickly avoided the attack the best he could. The attack narrowly hit him as it grinded against is chest place creating sparks due to the friction.
The distraction was only brief but despite that Lance used it to kick Claymore to the ground where he crashed in. When that happened Lance charged at Claymore only for Claymore to get out of the way via his boosters where Lance attack missed. Lance then gave chase to Claymore intent on ending him by any means that was needed of him.
Nearby Hammer was slammed down to the ground by Axe. Once that was done Axe roared as he held his weapon on high before bringing it down upon Hammer. Hammer spun on the ground and avoided it before boosting away. Axe roared and gave chase to Hammer who swung his weapon at Axe in response. Axe managed to stop it before grabbing Hammer by the head and grinding him against the ground.
Nearby Sword and Scythe roared as the two, female Tekkaman went at each other. Both of them had the intent to kill as Sword met Scythe's attack head on. The two spun their weapons and proceeded to do battle up in the air as it was becoming clear that Sword had the upper hand here. In fact, all of the Enemy Tekkaman thanks to completing their augmentations had the upper hand over the Space Knights at the moment.
Not too far away Blade and Evil continued their duel as out of all of them these two had the only battle that was a stalemate. The two brothers glared at each other both having every intention to end the other. Blade to punish Evil for all his crimes against humanity and their family and Evil to remove Blade as an obstacle to his world of Tekkaman.
Up in the sky Pegas was fighting off the Radan as he flew around to make sure the bugs didn't perform their mission here. As he flew over the area Pegas observed the battle relaying it back over to Base for them to investigate.
(Back at Base)
"Can't they take out at least one of them?" Jack asked as Sierra also saw this. "I mean Nick's 30 minutes are almost up." Jack said realizing Nick was at a severe disadvantage here.
"The kid has promise." Mikayla said as she glared at the screen. "But their clearly they're out of their league here, their only viable option would be to eliminate as many of the grunts as they can and fallback." Mikayla said as she saw Pegas was handling that part flawlessly. Mikayla had served in the Military and had gone through a few tours herself. But considering who she had at home she was glad in a way to be on this duty since it keeps her close to home and with it her responsibilities. Just then another alarm sounded and in turn Perceptor pulled it up on screen.
"What is it?" Chromia asked and thus Perceptor had the event on screen another Town was hit by Radan.
"We've been tricked." Arcee said as she saw that this attack was a diversion to get Radan time to set up another spot. Already they could see the Radan Trees growing and setting roots at the location.
"Get those four to fallback, we need to regroup." Mikayla said and thus Perceptor was already on it especially since Nick's 30 minutes were almost up.
(Back to the Battle)
"Pegas respond do you copy?" Perceptor asked as he spoke to Pegas via their communication link.
"Roger!" Pegas confirmed as he flew in the sky.
"We've been deceived this attack is a diversion, gather Blade and fallback!" Perceptor called out and thus was doing his work. "I shall prepare the Ground Bridge." Perceptor said and in turn Pegas understood.
"Roger!" Pegas repeated and thus went to carry out the newly given order.
Back over with the Tekkaman the four Space Knights saw the situation was well beyond their initial reactions and in turn they knew they had to get out of it as soon as possible. With an idea in mind Blade went to give out his next order to his team. "Space Knight, regroup!" Blade ordered and in turn hearing this Claymore, Scythe, and Hammer activated their boosters and gathered with Blade. Once they were gathered Blade opened up his shoulder armor for his next attack. "VOLTEKKA!" Blade invoked and thus fired the weapon as the attack flew to the enemy Tekkaman the four jumped up and avoided the attack.
Pegas then landed behind the group just as the Ground Bridge opened up. "Move!" Blade called out and thus they all ran into the bridge as the enemy Tekkaman got back down.
But by the time they landed the saw the Ground Bridge closing and from it Evil was left there with Sword, Axe, and Lance. "Heh so you opt to run and hide like a coward, Blade." Evil said as he then made a chuckling sound. "Sooner or later, we'll find the hole you're hiding in Blade and when we do, we will end you and your allies." Evil said as he eyes flashed from red to violet with the power of Dark Energon. "Lance, Axe, Sword gather up the remaining Radan and scour for supplies we need to ensure our base is fortified in the even Blade and his allies acquired sufficient enough space travel abilities." Evil said and thus they all got to work on the order Evil had given them.
(Scene Break back at the base)
The group arrived back at base as one by one they transformed back to normal. Nick was the last to revert as he returned to his human form and growled a bit. "Dammit!" Nick cursed as he stormed off a bit as he hated having to make that call.
"Kid wait I need a full." Mikayla began but Nick cut her off.
"WE screwed up, we got cocky and Evil surprised us with Axe, Sword, and Lance!" Nick cursed as he then stormed off.
"Kid it happens but now we have a bigger problem, that entire attack it was a smokescreen so they can get another town." Fowler said as Nick then saw the images on the screen.
"Great from bad to worse!" Nick snarled but Jack then jumped in as Nick noticed June's car was in the base. "Wait did Ms. Darby arrive?" Nick asked and thus Jack cut in.
"Nick it's Shara... after you left her powers... we had to do the operation for her now before it was too late." Jack said as this left Nick wide eyed and dropping the helmet he ran to where Shara was hoping and praying that he was not too late.
(Scene Break Shara Unknown Location)
Shara woke up in an empty void as she looked around trying to make sense of it. The void was odd as she saw the beach she used to come to when she was younger with her family. Right now, she was in the part of it with the field of flowers. As Shara looked she saw her body was bare of any cloths but had a glow of sort that seemed to act as decency for her. But then she noted a glow of sorts on her chest that was similar to a fire of sorts.
"Shara." Came the voice of Elita as Shara looked and saw Elita there with a similar glow.
"Elita!" Shara called out as she ran over to Elita who kneeled down to her. "Where are we?" Shara asked as she looked to Elita.
"I do not know, it seems similar to Iacon back when it was alive before the war." Elita said as she looked to the city melded with the void around her. In fact she saw her favorite bar Macadam's not too far from here if her memories were to be trusted.
"Iacon? All I see is the beach from my childhood." Shara said as she looked to Elita with concern.
"You are both correct and incorrect." Came a new voice that radiated power opting Elita to get on the defensive and in turn Shara to hide behind Elita's left tread. From above the two saw a powerful light floating down and with it they saw an image Shara did not want to see.
"Rapier?!" Shara gasped as she saw her Tekkaman form standing before them giving a sense of dread to Shara.
"Do not fear she is merely a reflection of yourself." The being said as the way it spoke, its tone, showed he held a great deal of wisdom.
"Who are you?" Elita spoke up as her hands converted into guns. "Identify yourself now!" She ordered showing she would not let any harm befall Shara if she could help it.
"Stay your blade and calm yourself Intended of the Prime it is against my nature to cause unneeded damage to those born of my Allspark." The being said as Elita and Shara were left confused by those words.
"Allspark?" Shara asked as she heard this. "Who are you?" Shara asked as she looked to the being before her. Instead of answering the void around the two vanished and in turn Elita was wide eyed to find herself in what she knew to be the Core of Cybertron itself. "What?" Shara asked as she looked around never being here before.
"By the Allspark." Elita said as she then turned to the massive structure that made up Cybertron's core as it had a dull glow to it.
"Though my Spark is weak from the actions of Megatron and his infection of me using my brother's lifeblood you know me as do all born of Cybertron and her Colonies." The being said and in turn Elita reverted her guns back to her servos.
"Primus." Elita said and for the first time in her life she was at a loss of what to do. Thus, the Autobot Femme's Commander did the first thing that came to mind when faced with the God of her people... she kneeled to him.
"Primus?" Shara asked as she was left confused by the term.
"Primus is Cybertron's very seed our life giver to be summoned by him like this." Elita trailed off as Shara understood the implications. It was just like with Moses and the Burning Bush or in events where God calls to his disciples through dreams or angels he sent down as messengers.
"Raise your head intended of the Prime you are but a guest here." Primus spoke as Elita though hesitant at first stood back up.
"Primus, how is this possible, has life began to return to Cybertron?" Elita asked with her voice etched with hope that life began to flourish once more upon Cybertron.
"No not in the sense you hoped it." Primus spoke which confused the duo at first. "The time you receive this call Cybertron is as barren as the day I granted Orion Pax the Matrix of Leadership." Primus said as the duo began to understand a bit better on what Primus was saying to them. "I call to you from beyond the ages to open the path for one whose life hangs in the balance." Primus explained which caused Elita to look to Shara who was the one that had her life in the balance.
"Me?" Shara asked shocked that Cybertron's very creator, their equivalent to God, wish to speak to her.
"Shara Carter step forward." Primus said and thus Elita gestured for the nervous girl to do so. Hesitant Shara began to approach the creator of all Cybertronian life as she had no idea what to expect from him. She then stopped once she felt she was sufficiently close enough while keeping her distance from the form of Rapier. "Answer me, why do you reject yourself Shara Carter?" Primus asked as his light shined down upon Shara.
"What? Reject myself Rapier is a monster Radan forced upon me!" Shara defended and then went wide eyed and shied away clearly not wanting to anger Cybertron's creator and God.
"A monster forced upon you or a being you reject out of your own traumas?" Primus asked as his voice was not angered or annoyed by Shara's prior tone. No, right now Primus when he spoke to her sounded like a father calm and comforting knowing one of his children was hurting. And he was not wrong because of what she had to endure from Radan Shara was in fact hurting much in the same way Nick was hurting. "The old infestation, Radan, may have given you this form you view as a curse but it is simply another aspect of yourself." Primus said and in turn images of Cybertronian's transforming began to appear around her and Rapier.
Elita also saw this as she saw many take on vehicle forms while others took beast modes. There were even a few who had taken the form of plants and a few who transformed into Combiner forms. "The ability to transform is the fundamental piece of all life upon Cybertron." Primus spoke as the images hovered around Shara and Rapier. "It is but another aspect of themselves the same way Rapier is but an aspect of yourself." Primus spoke as his voice gave off wisdom beyond any seen before. "Your fear of Radan and your fear of yourself of Rapier has disturbed the balance within yourself. If you cannot restore it then you and Elita 1 shall perish." Primus said as Shara was wide eyed to this.
"No wait why her, she's trying to save me!" Shara called out as she looked to Primus. "Please you can't let her die even if it's trying to save me!" Shara called out as Primus was silent for but a moment. The silence made Shara nervous, but she stood her ground regardless.
"It all hinges upon you, Shara Carter you must find the balance between the technological and the organic and to do so you must make peace with Rapier. You MUST make peace with yourself." Primus said and thus Shara looked to where Rapier stood. "When that happens then and only then can you truly be... transformed." Primus said and thus he grew quiet as now it all hinges of Shara's next action.
Shara then looked over to Rapier as she gulped a bit clearly unsure how to make peace with the Tekkaman before her. Shara carefully began to approach only for Rapier's eyes to flash red and thus snap at her with a sword slashed. Shara yelped as she stepped back fearing the worse. Elita was about to jump in but she saw Rapier didn't approach at all. In fact, it seemed more like Rapier was... acting like a cornered animal.
Shara dared a glance and saw Rapier holding her blade in a reverse grip in front of her. By the looks of it she was keeping Shara away instead of letting her make any approach to her. Shara thought of something and began her approach Rapier again but Rapier in response snapped again. But this time instead of backing away Shara held her ground against Rapier and for but a moment Shara swore she saw herself a scared little girl who was a victim of circumstance. "You don't want us to be together either." Shara said speaking to Rapier like she was another person. "Being with me causes you pain the same way it causes me pain." Shara said realizing why Rapier was acting like this while continuing her approach to Rapier.
"I suppose we both want to be without the other." Shara said and thus as she got closer to her counterpart who nearly slashed at her. "But so long as we're stuck together." She began and in turn caught Rapier's next swipe before gently guiding her to lower her weapon. "We might as well learn to get along." Shara said and thus stepped back from Rapier and offered her hand to the Tekkaman. "Truce?" She offered and in turn hesitant for a moment Rapier reached out her hand shaking all the way. Soon the two shook hands and when they did Shara smiled just before Rapier vanished into a flurry of sparkling dust.
In turn Shara gasped as her eyes began to glow when a new voice was heard inside her mind. "Transform and Transcend your Destiny." Primus finally said and thus Shara realizing what this meant for her. "Your great transformation awaits Shara Carter... prepare to be... reformatted, Tekkaman Rapier." Primus said and in turn Elita gasped as did Shara when the entire area began to vanish into a blinding light.
(Scene Break Recovery Room Shara)
Shara began to come too as she moaned a bit. Her body was sore as it felt like she had been through a train wreck yet managed to walk it off. As Shara began to open her eyes they had a neon blue shine to them as she looked around and noticed her vision was off a bit. Nothing major but clearly visions don't have these icons for whatever reason. Looking around she saw Nick sitting on a chair next to her bed as she smiled to this.
"Hey Nick." Shara said in a tired tone which was enough to get her brothers attention on her.
"Shara!" Nick called out as he looked to Shara hoping she was going to be ok.
"Elita... is she... ok?" Shara asked and thus Nick sighed and smiled to Shara.
"Elita is fine Shara, her Spark had some surge going on but she's going to pull through." Nick said as he smiled happy to see that part of his sister's personality remained. "What about you are you ok, Shara?" Nick asked as he looked to his sister who carefully began to sit up.
"Actually, I'm better ok, I am transformed." Shara said as Nick was confused by her cryptic words.
"That's good right?" Nick asked and thus Shara smiled to her brother as she was now sitting up on her bed.
"In a word, it's Prime." Shara said and showed her Tekk-Set Crystal which now had the missing part on the other side and with it a set of wings similar to other Tekk-Set Crystals. Thus, when he saw this Nick realized what this meant and knew his sister was going to be with them for a long time. He was happy for her as he began to tear up and hug his sister for dear life. Shara saw by the way he held her he was afraid that if he lets her go even for a moment, he'll never see her again. Still there was a lot for Shara to adjust too and more so than that they still had a war to win two of them in fact.
But one thing was for certain the Carter Family had begun to heal even if it's only a small fraction of it. Nick was happy beyond belief to have his sister back while his sister was thinking it was a miracle to have one of her brothers back. But now they had more important things to worry about and that was Evil, Omega, the Radan, and the Decepticons. The question remained in a war for the fate of the Earth and the Universe who shall come out on top. Only time will tell the answer to that question. But upon the day of the battle between good and evil only one shall stand and one shall fall.
