"Alert Alert,Stasis pod making planet fall."a female computerized voice announced and the person who listened was the tyrant leader of the Predacons himself Megatron and behind him was his mostly loyal troops. "Calculate crash site coordinates."Megatron ordered the computer screen showed a map of the location which the stasis pod is going to land which was in slightly savory territory "Hmm that's within sprinting distance to the maximal territory, Primal must already be on the move we must act quickly, Waspinator Terrasaur go to the Stasis pod and reprogram the maximal within,the rest of us will run intercept and stall them for as long as we can."Megatron ordered Both Waspinator and Terrasaur nodded and then the both transformed into Wasp and Pteranodon modes and then they flew through the hatch of the ship and they flew off as quickly as they could.

"There it is!"Terrasaur announced as he watched the stasis pod streak across the sky and then crash land,The two Predacons landed beside the stasis pod and began the Reprogramming process, Terrasaur opened a compartment which revealed a maximal programming chip and a few circuits, using a set of tweezers Terrasaur plucked out the chip "Maximal programming chip cannot be accessed,pausing DNA scan."a male computerized voice spoke.

Terrasaur was about to put in the Predacon programming chip in when Waspinator spoke "Oh can new bot be an insect?" Terrasaur gave him an are you serious expression "What no way bug face,You along with Scorpionok,Tarantulas and Blackarachnia are more than enough, the new Predacon should be another high flying reptile,like me."Terrasaur boasted but Waspinator didn't like that suggestion.

"That is stupid idea,Predacon should be an insect!"Waspinator said with a little growl "Reptile."Terrasaur said with irritation "Insect!"Waspinator shouted getting into Terrasaur's face "Reptile!"Terrasaur shouted back clenching his fist ready to knock out Waspinator but before he could do that a familiar female voice spoke to them.

"I was thinking more of an Avian look, it's all the rage."

Waspinator and Terrasaur looked up to see a peregrine falcon hovering above them but this was no ordinary falcon the voice gave it away "Grrr Airazor."Terrasaur growled in contempt Airazor narrowed her eyes at the two Predacons then she glanced at the Stasis pod seeing them mess with her fellow maximal this way made her extremely furious.

"Step away from the maximal and maybe I won't pick your optics out."Airazor threatened but the two Predacons weren't intimidated "Fat chance Maximal,Get her!"Terrasaur shouted as he and Waspinator took flight and jetted towards the winged maximal. "Airazor Maximize!"Airazor shouted as she transformed into robot mode as the two Predacons began firing their weapons at her which she dodged, while they were having an Aerial battle sitting perched on the branch of the tree next to the stasis pod was a Crow, it watched the battle completely bewildered.

Airazor responded with a couple of missiles of her own which exploded in midar causing Waspinator and Terrasaur to scatter, just then Optimus Primal's voice came through the comlinks "Airazor are you at the pod?"he asked with concern "Yes but so is Waspinator and Terrasaur, it's a two on one handicapped match over here."Airazor said as she dodged out of the way of Waspinator and Terrasaur who flanked her on both sides and charged at her only to collide with each other and then they plummeted to the ground with a hard crash.

"Hold on for as long as you can, we'll be with you shortly..."

Meanwhile

The remaining Maximals were doing battle with the Predacons and Optimus Primal was engaged with Megatron "...Right after we deal with an annoying obstacle!"Optimus Primal said as he held back the Tyrannosaurus rex head of Megatron's arm with all his strength "No Primal it is you who shall be dealt with,Yes."Megatron growled as he pushed the rex head further into Optimus face and Optimus noticed a purple glow emanating from the maw of the T-Rex and that was when he realized Megatron was going to blast him square in the face.

Acting quickly Optimus Primal proceeded to preform an over the shoulder toss, which launched Megatron through the air and straight into Tarantulas who was doing battle with Ratrap.

Back with Airazor

Airazor stared at Terrasaur and Waspinator groan in pain as they stirred on the ground then she looked at the stasis pod "Right,no pressure."She muttered as she remembered that there's only so much she can do against Waspinator and Terrasaur sure they can be bumbling idiots but they are still dangerous in the field of battle and it's only a matter of time before they could wear her down, Airazor didn't need help soon she needs it right now and she knew where to get it.

Airazor flew down towards the pod and pick the Maximal programing chip and gently placed it on the circuits "Maximal programming chip assessed, scanning for compatible life forms."A male voice announced "Hey get away from there!"Terrasaur roared as he fired at Airazor but she immediately dodged. Waspinator scowled at Terrorsaur because he almost hit the stasis pod "Pteradacyl watch where your firing,you almost hit pod!" "Shut up and get her!" Terrasaur shouted as he flew towards Airazor and tackled her to the ground and then they began wrestling and fighting kicking up and large cloud of smoke Waspinator buzzed directly into the cloud and the sounds of fighting and buzzing and squaking echoed throughout the air.

Meanwhile while they were fighting the stasis pod began to scan for life forms a metal rod with a little sphere on the end and then a yellow beam of light did a full rotation around the environment,the beam of light hit the Crow much to its confusion and bewilderment "Compatible lifeform found beginning replication."the computer announced as the beam disappeared and the rod retracted into pod.

The Crow then looked back towards fight cloud which then disappeared which revealed Airazor pinned to the ground with Terrorsaur on top of her back holding her arms behind her back, Airazor struggled to break free but terrorsaur was too strong.

Terrorsaur deployed his shoulder cannons and aimed them at Airazor "It's over Birdie,you lost and the stasis pod is ours,Bug face go finish reprograming the pod."Terrorsaur ordered as he held Airazor down who struggled to get free.

Waspinator turned back towards the pod and that's when he saw the pod door was wide open and the protoform was missing, they were too late a brand new maximal had entered the Beast Wars. Waspinator pulled out his blaster and looked around frantically for the new maximal that was when he along with Terrorsaur and Airazor heard a masculine voice "Now is that anyway to treat a lady?"

Everyone looked up to see a crow flying towards them Terrorsaur looked on in horror as the blackbird darted towards them "Shadewing Maximize!" the bird shouted and then he transformed into robot mode and landed right in front of Waspinator Shadewing's jet black and shiny silver color scheme added to the intimation factor of Waspinator, Shadewing's head looked like Divebomb's head from Transformers Energon,the crow's head rested on his chest,and the wings of his beast form, sat under each side of his arms,combined with his tail feathers to form a trench coat.

Waspinator glared at Shadewing while aiming his blaster at him "Blackbird bot prepared to be scrapped!"Waspinator shouted as he got ready to fire his weapon but Shadewing had a weapon of his own, concealed under his right wing was a sleek futuristic looking black and silver colored Pistol, Shadewing quickly drew his pistol and shot the blaster out of Waspinator's hands and then shot him in both of his feet making cry out in pain and fall on to the ground.

Shadewing turned to Terrorsaur and fired his pistol shooting out both of gis shoulder cannons rendering them useless "Why you!!!"terrorsaur growled in rage as he quickly pulled out his blaster and started shooting at Shadewing who quickly ran behind the tree as Terrorsaur continued firing on the tree. Then he glanced at Waspinator "Hey can you stand?"

"No Waspinator can't stand, Blackbird bot shot Waspinator's feet!!"Waspinator shouted in pain "Grrr you're going to pay for that!"Terrorsaur roared as he continued firing into the tree,which was close to being blasted to smithereens,Shadewing knew he had to disarm Terrorsaur soon. Just then he looked at his left forearm and a compartment opened up to reveal a dagger, it's hilt was black colored and the blade was shaped like a silver feather, he held the knife tightly in his hand and then quickly he sprung from behind the tree and threw the dagger and it hit Terrorsaur directly in the hand making him drop the weapon.

Then Shadewing dashed towards Terrorsaur and before he could react Shadewing decked him across the face super hard making him fall to the ground,and then Shadewing quickly planted his foot on Terrorsaur's chest and aimed his pistol at him "Don't move."Shadewing growled ready to blast a hole in Terrorsaur's face. Airazor stood up and came up next to Shadewing staring down at him with a smug expression "Another Maximal to cause you guys more migraines,this is a pleasant day."Airazor said with a proud smile.

Terrorsaur growled in fury at this defeat knowing that Megatron will not be happy knowing that not only did Waspinator and Terrasaur failed to secure the pod but there's now a new maximal to cause them trouble. With a frustrated growl terrorsaur knocked Shadewing's feet off of him and then he quickly scrambled to his feet and ran towards Waspinator and kicked him "Beast mode bug face, we're retreating!"Terrorsaur said as he transformed into Pterodactyl mode and Waspinator transformed into Wasp mode they flew off Shadewing was about to shoot at them but Airazor motioned for them to let them go, Shadewing picked up his knife and it went back into the compartment in his arm and his holstered the pistol.

It was then both Airazor and Shadewing suddenly felt the energon field build up "Ugh ahh what's happening?!"Shadewing groaned in pain "Argh Energon field build up,it happens when we're in robot mode too long,turn back to beast mode!"Airazor instructed then both of them transformed into their respective bird forms which made the pain immediately go away. "Ugh that's lame."Shadewing said looking up at Airazor who shrugged "You'll get used to it."

Then they noticed a gorilla,Cheetah,a Rat,a Velociraptor,a white tiger and a rhino charging towards them before stopping in front of them "So i guess Waspinator and Terrasaur flew the coop."Rattrap asked with a mocking chuckle "yep thanks to the help of our new teammate."Airazor said looking at Shadewing "Does our new teammate have a name?"Cheetor asked with a smile"Shadewing."The blackbird responded proudly Optimus Primal smiled at Shadewing "Welcome to the Beast Wars."he said happily.

The End
