Chapter 6: Surges and acceptances
Near Vale/ Vacuo border
At the border of Vale and Vacuo there wasn't much to see snice it was just mostly wastelands, with some forests and mountains scattered about. It was so barren that both governments didn't see much value in the land and had left it as it was, with some patrols going through the area every once and awhile. But sometimes those patrols didn't even come back due to grimm attacks on those patrol.
Currently flying through the sky was a black bird with a white skull on its head, this was a young Nevermore. The Nevermore was just flying through the air minding its own business when out of nowhere Terrorsaur came swopping down and caught the Nevermore in his mouth. Terrorsaur then processed to eat the Nevermore as if it was a snack for him.
After swallowing the Nevermore Terrorsaur felt good with himself. "It's good to be a Predacon." Terrorsaur said to himself, as he continued to fly through the air in search for his next snack. As he flew near two mountains he saw something he couldn't believe. Right in the middle of the mountains was a floating mountain, it was so close to the other two that it would pass off as a third mountain to the untrained eye, but Terrorsaur's sensors could easily separate it from the other mountains.
"By the inferno." Said Terrorsaur in disbelief as he couldn't believe what he saw seeing. Sure the planet of Remnant was weird, but this took the cake. Terrorsaur knew he had to find out what was keeping the mountain afloat and so he flew over to it wondering what secrets it held. As he flew towards the mountain he found an opening near the top and flew into it. Inside he saw that the walls were covered with energon. So much energon it was hard to believe that no one had found it yet.
As he flew deeper in Terrorsaur was getting happier and happier with what he saw. "Power, this rock alive with it." Terrorsaur said to himself as he flew into an open area and saw a huge chuck of energon just sitting there waiting for him to take it.
"Energon, enough to power an army." Said Terrorsaur as he flew down closer to the energon and stopped in front of it.
He then wondered how much power this energon contained, since it could keep this mountain afloat. "I have to chance a scan. Terrorsaur Terrorize!" Said Terrorsaur as he transformed in the middle of the energon field as he robot body could already feel the energon field build up.
"Danger energon surge. Return to beast mode or stasis lock is imitate." Warned the computer system inside of Terrorsaur, about the danger he was in.
"I must act fast. A small sample will do." Terrorsaur said to himself as he walked over to a small crystal and tried to pull it out only for it to blast him sending him back between to crystals and was somehow caught between their powers. Terrorsaur was in pain for a bit, but after a couple of seconds the pain was gone and was replaced with the feeling of power. His whole body was surging with a red light, instead of usual blue and Terrorsaur was curious as to what happened to him.
After a few seconds Terrorsaur then realized what happened. "The energon has been absorbed directly into my super structure. I've never felt such power, I'm invincible." He cried out as he started to laugh with this new feeling of power he had, but then realized what he could do with this power.
"Megatron!" Stated Terrorsaur as he knew what he could, no should do with this new found power. The then shot out of the mountain at break neck speeds, his destination Predacon HQ.
Few minutes earlier near the Energon Mountain
Meanwhile a little bit earlier both Cheetor and Yang (who was riding her bike Bumblebee) were scouting the area. Yang was giving Cheetor a hard time for what happened with the survey posts that sent Ruby to the Predacon base recently.
"Yang how many times do I have to apologies to you for what happened? After all it wasn't my intention to send Ruby to the Pred's base." Cheetor apologized once more hoping that Yang would forgive him or least talk to him because the treatment he was getting from her was unbearable.
See after Ruby's little trip over to the Darksyde the Maximals tried to figure out what happened. It turned out that the survey post hit some energon and dust causing it to turn into a relay post for teleportation, so all the posts had to be brought back in and doubled checked to make sure nothing like that would never happen again.
But when Yang heard about what happened she nearly trashed the whole base, trying to find out who did it. It took nearly everyone to calm her down and Ruby even said there was more good than bad with her trip, because she got Intel on the White Fang and a new weapon she calls Silver Thorns.
So now Yang and Cheetor were patrolling an area for Predacon activity and any energon deposits. Yang then finally looked over to Cheetor making the bot stop and wonder what she was going to do to him.
"Promise me you'll never do something like that again and we'll see what happens." Said Yang causing Cheetor to let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"You got it." Said Cheetor causing Yang to smile a little and was about to say something to him when she saw something nearby.
"Cheetor what's that?" Yang asked him as she pointed to something in the distance. Curious as to what it was Cheetor zoomed in on it.
After a second Cheetor saw what it was. "It looks like an Atlesian Dropship that crashed landed or was shot out of the sky." Answered Cheetor as Yang then drove her bike over towards it.
"Might as well check it out then. There nothing of importance out here anyway." Yelled Yang as she got closer to the crashed dropship. Cheetor mentally agreed with her and ran over to the ship. When the both got there they saw that the ship was in pretty good condition considering it crashed.
As they checked it over Yang got idea. "Hey Cheetor why don't we take this back to the Axalon and fix it up. Then we have our own dropship." Suggested Yang as Cheetor thought it over and thought that Optimus would agree to that, but before he could reply they heard what sounded like a sonic boom. Looking around they saw what looked like Terrorsaur flying past them at break neck speeds.
Yang was the first to get over her shock and asked Cheetor something. "Was that Terrorsaur?" She wondered, not quite believing it as Cheetor looked at where Terrorsaur went.
"It was, and all I know is we should follow him and see what's up." Said Cheetor as he ran after Terrorsaur as fast as he could. Yang agreeing with him rived her bike and chased after him, mentally thanking Rhinox for the upgrades he gave her bike. Now instead of running on Dust it ran on energon and was twice as fast and goes three times as long.
Vacuo, Darksyde
At the Darksyde Megatron, the Predacons, Adam with some White Fang members, Ronan, and Mercury were gathered together on a medium sized mountain near their base. Megatron had gathered them all together to unveil a new defence system that should help deal with any unwanted guests.
They were all gathered around a floating box as Megatron got ready to present his new system. "I programmed this target box with the Maximals energy signal, now watch." Stated Megatron as the box floated away from the group. Soon a turret appeared from behind some rock and locked onto the target box and fired on it destroying it in no time. Seeing this cause everyone but Mercury, who was annoyed that he had to be there, to clap at the display.
"Excellent with a few more of these in place, this area well become a death trap for the Maximals." Stated Megatron as Adam wondered about something.
"Megatron what about Maximals human allies, how do we deal with them?" Asked Adam as the White Fang mumbled about it.
Megatron merely chuckled at the question. "Organic's don't give off an energy signature so we will simply keep the patrols in place. After all one can never be too careful when dealing with one enemies, yesss." Replied Megatron as Adam understood and had nothing more to say on the matter.
At that moment everyone heard Terrorsaur squeal as they looked up to see Terrorsaur in robot mode flying down at them, but staying in the air just above them. "Just the sort of plan, a cowardly lizard like yourself would conceive of Megatron, which is why I'm assuming command of the Predacons." He declared as some laughed at what he said, while others were waiting for the beat down that was going to happen.
"Place your bets on how long the fight will last people." Said Roman as people around him started to place their bets on how long Terrorsaur would last, while others like Adam wondered what caused Terrorsaur to up and challenge Megatron like this.
Meanwhile Megatron was annoyed that Terrorsaur was acting up again. "I thought you already learnt your lesson about challenging me Terrorsaur." Said Megatron as he walked towards Terrorsaur while the rest backed away to give them room and not get caught up in the cross fire.
"Today I'm the teacher, if you have a courage." Taunted Terrorsaur as Megatron had enough of his attitude.
"Very well, I could use some amusement. Megatron Terrorize!" Yelled Megatron as he transformed into robot mode and got ready to beat some sense into Terrorsaur yet again.
Seeing this Roman closed the betting pool. "Ok the fight is about to begin, so betting closed." Said Roman as put all the lien away for safe keeping while pocketing some for himself.
Megatron quickly fire some missiles at Terrorsaur, with all of them making contact with him, but only pushing him back slightly with no real damage done to him.
Terrorsaur just laughed off Megatron's attack as he got ready to return the favor. "That was amusing. But not as funny as this!" Said Terrorsaur as he activated his shoulder cannons and fired at Megatron. Megatron was able to dodge the first wave of blasts by jumping out of the way, but Terrorsaur continued firing at him, until one shot hit Megatron sending him down the mountain until he hit a ledge. The others walked over to the edge and looked down at Megatron with surprise at what they just saw.
Meanwhile back with Megatron he was slowly getting up, frustrated that Terrorsaur of all people was the one that knocked him down as Terrorsaur landed on the ground behind him. "Terrorsaur your treacherous worm, I'll finish you forever!" Cried Megatron as he charged at Terrorsaur with the intent of ripping him apart piece by piece until nothing was left of him.
Terrorsaur all the while was calm about everything. "I don't think so." He said calmly as he pulled out a gun and fired at Megatron. Each hit landed on Megatron forcing back as pieces of him fell off from each shot. Soon Terrorsaur blasted Megatron off the ledge as he fell apart and hit the ground multiple times before finally stopping. When he stopped Megatron was nothing more than scrap ready to be thrown away.
Back up top Terrorsaur was laughing, while the others couldn't believe what they saw. The silence was soon broken when Roman spoke up. "Since no one betted on Terrorsaur I guess I win all the lien that was betted." Said Roman as the White Fang that betted had words to say to him.
Scorponok couldn't believe his eyes. "Megatron is destroyed." He said in disbelief and he wasn't the only one.
"Wazzpinator does not believe it." Said Wazzpinator as some of the White Fang said similar things.
Meanwhile Mercury was the only one that was happy. 'Wait till I find Cinder and tell her the good news.' Thought Mercury as he took a picture of the destroyed Megatron to show Cinder latter.
Adam on the other hand was thinking something else. 'Where did he get that power from? I've never seen Megatron in such a one sided fight before.' He wondered as Terrorsaur landed near the group.
"Megatron Is scrap, yess, I'm your leader now. Does anyone want to argue about it now?" Challenged Terrorsaur as the others said nothing as they looked at him.
Terrorsaur then took it as a sign they knew what would happen if they did. "Good, then ready yourselves for battle, the Maximals will be the next to taste my power." Declared Terrorsaur as no one said anything about his announcement.
Little did anyone know that Cheetor and Yang were nearby and watched how Terrorsaur trashed Megatron like he was nothing. Both of them looked at each other and knew that if Terrorsaur reached the base with his new powers, then they were goners.
"Ultra-bad." Said Cheetor as the two went back to Yang's bike as quickly as they could.
Once they reached it Yang hoped on and looked at Cheetor. "We got to warn everyone Cheetor." She told Cheetor as she started her bike and got ready to gun it. "Cheetor you're faster than me, so get back to the ground bridge point and warn everyone." Finished Yang as Cheetor gave her a frown.
"But what if they catch you?" Asked Cheetor not wanting to leave her alone near Terrorsaur, after all he took out Megatron like he was nothing.
Yang understood where Cheetor was coming form, but didn't care. "Better for one of use to be caught then both of us, anyway you still owe me for the teleporter incident." She countered as Cheetor understood were she was coming form.
"Alright, but be careful." Said Cheetor as he took off, leaving a Yang in his dust as she gunned her bike.
Meanwhile back with the Predacons, Terrorsaur was still giving out orders. "Here are my orders Wazzpinator and I…" Started Terrorsaur before he bent over feeling his power levels drop drastically. The others watched on as they wondered what was happened to him.
"Is something wrong Terrorsaur?" Asked Tarantulas curious as to what brought it on.
"Maybe his batteries are low." Joked Roman as Tarantulas though he was more right then he though.
Feeling weaker by the second Terrorsaur turned away from the group and activated his internal computer. "Diagnostic, my circuits only." He ordered his computer quietly so no one else could hear him, unfortunately for him he forgot faunus's have great hearing. The entire White Fang currently there heard him and wondered what was going on.
'Something is going on here.' Though Adam as he heard Terrorsaur computer finish its diagnostic.
"Energon drain. Power down 50%. Statis lock intimate. Transform immediately." Said Terrorsaur's Computer as it showed Terrorsaur his power levels. Terrorsaur knew he had to save face and quickly turned around and made up a story to everyone.
"I, um, must see to something before the attack, Adam will command until my return." Said Terrorsaur as he ran off the side of the mountain and transformed, before flying off somewhere.
Seeing that Terrorsaur was gone Adam acted. "Tarantulas get a bullhead and follow him. I want to know what he's hiding." Ordered Adam as Tarantulas nodded as he too wanted to know where he got that power from.
"Wise move, but I need someone to fly the bullhead for me. My pinchers don't do very well if there are high energon fields involved." Said Tarantulas as Roman saw Mercury trying to slip away from the group.
Seeing this Roman smiled at what he thought he was trying to do. "Thank you Mercury for volunteering. I see you're already heading to the bullhead to prep it." Said Roman with a smile on his face as he ratted him out like that.
Adam understood what Mercury was trying to do and knew he had to keep Cinder and her group away from each other for the time being. "Good Tarantulas take him and find out what caused Terrorsaur to gain that power. Also Tarantulas is in charge." Said Adam as the two walked away.
Adam then looked down at Megatron or what was left of him. "Scorponok, Wazzpinator take Megatron to the CR tank and fix him. The rest of you will ready the CR tank" He Ordered as Scorponok left without saying a word wanting to save his leader with Wazzpinator following him while the White Fang members walked off.
Adam then saw Roman leaving while whistling a tune to himself. "Where are you going?" Adam asked him not trusting the man and for good reason.
Roman turned around and looked at Adam. "If you must know I'm going to hit a small dust shop in Vale and see how the Maximals will respond to it. I'm also taking Cinder with me." Said Roman as Adam nodded his head causing Roman to go on his way.
'I hope he gets caught.' Thought Adam as he looked down and watched as Megatron was salvaged.
Vale, Patch, Axalon
Meanwhile back with Cheetor he just rushed through the open ground bridge with Yang following him by a minute or two latter as both of them rushed towards the base. Inside the base Rhinox watched as the two of them rushed through like their lives depended on it.
"Cheetor and Yang are coming in hot, better open the hatch." Stated Rhinox as he looked over from the main table to Rattrap, who was currently playing a game of cards with the computer.
"Yeah, yeah just let me finish this hand. I'm in for this stinking computer for half a million." Said Rattrap as he just lost another hand to the computer.
Optimus then walked over and turned off the game causing Rattrap to whine about it. "The two of them wouldn't be moving this fast if they didn't have something urgent to report." Said Optimus as he joined Rhinox at the table waiting for Cheetor and Yang to come in.
At that second Cheetor can rushing in, out of breath as he stopped in the command centre after lapping it, in order to slow down. "Big bot, Predacons attacking, Megatron scrap, Terrorsaur, power source, mountain, floating. " Said Cheetor nearly at the same time making it hard to understand what he said.
"Calm down Cheetor, better transform." Suggested Optimus hoping it would help Cheetor breath better.
Cheetor then transformed causing his breathing to go back to normal somewhat. "That's better, now tell us… slowly." Said Optimus wondering what would cause Cheetor to run like that, as Yang rushed in the room out of breath.
"Sorry I'm late." Said Yang as Optimus looked her way.
"It's ok Cheetor was just about to explain what's going on." Said Optimus as everyone but Yang looked at Cheetor.
Seeing everyone looking at him Cheetor started to explain. "Terrorsaur leading the Predacons now, he's going to attack our base." He explained causing the others to gasp at the news.
Optimus wanted to know one thing. "What about Megatron?" He asked knowing he wouldn't give up command without a fight.
Yang then walked over and joined in. "Terrorsaur took him out like he was nothing." Answered Yang as Cheetor continued on for her.
"Yeah, he must have found some mayor energon source on that floating mountain." Said Cheetor surprising the others even Yang.
"Floating mountain?" Asked Rhinox confused.
Rattrap then moved over to Cheetor. "I knew it, you got your circuits crossed kiddo. Even on this weird world mountains don't fly." Said Rattrap as Yang agreed with him.
"Yeah Cheetor I didn't see any floating mountains, and if there was one why hasn't anyone seen it yet?" Said Yang as Cheetor growled at it all.
"Cause the mountain is between two other mountains making it look like a third mountain. I picked it out due to the sensors in my eyes." Explained Cheetor as Yang understood now how she missed it.
As the three of them continued to argue about the mountain Optimus then spoke up. "Rhinox intensify perimeter scan and get through to Dinobot. I want the Predacons spotted." Ordered Optimus as he realised something he forgot. "Also where is Ruby? I haven't seen her snice she arrived and we need all hands on deck." Asked Optimus curious as to where she was.
Rattrap then spoke up as to where Ruby was. "I think she went into one of the labs. Think she said something about upgrading her new gear." He told Optimus as he then started to walk towards the lab only for Yang to stop him in his tracks.
"Don't bother Optimus, once she starts working on a weapon nothing short of attacking her, will stop her." Explained Yang as Optimus sighed at that, and went back to the main table. He then brought up a map of Remnant.
Optimus then looked over to the holo map and got Cheetor's attention. "Now where did you see this floating mountain" He asked as Cheetor touched a section of the map.
"Right here." Said Cheetor as the map zoomed in on that area.
Near Vale/ Vacuo border, Floating Mountain
Meanwhile a weak and tiered Terrorsaur was making his way to the floating island in hopes of regaining his power. As he was flying he was talking to himself as to why he lost he power in the first place. "The energon must be unstable, I need more of it, enough to finish off the Maximals for good." Terrorsaur said to himself as he continued on his way to the mountain thinking he was alone.
Flying above him was a bullhead containing Tarantulas and Mercury. The two caught up with him easly and were staying out of sight while following him. "Tell me again why we're doing this?" Moaned Mercury as he flew the ship while staying out of sight.
"Because you simple minded fool, think about it for a second. If Terrorsaur got that much power, imagen what we could use it for. No one would be able to stand up to us! Now shut up and follow him." Explained Tarantulas, but Mercury already knew that Cinder had more power than all of them, but that bomb was keeping her from using it.
Vale, Patch, Axalon
While Terrorsaur was trying to get another power up, the Maximals were seeing if what Cheetor said was true. Currently they had their scanners pointed in that area and were seeing what was going on.
"I've got two of them." Said Rhinox as two different blips appeared on the map.
Seeing this Optimus wanted to see who it was. "Patch it into the map grid." He ordered as a grid appeared on the map.
After a few second of studying the map Rhinox figured out who it was. "Looks like Terrorsaur, Tarantulas and one human." He told them as Rattrap looked over at him.
"You meant Faunus right, cause there's no humans in the White Fang." Said Rattrap after all the data Ruby got them showed that there were no humans with any contact with the White Fang.
Rhinox just looked over at Rattrap "Nope it's a human. Humans and faunus have different markers in their bodies and this person is missing the faunus markers." He explained as the map then flickered.
"Hey what happened?" Asked Rattrap confused.
Rhinox studied the map again and then came to a conclusion "Energon inference. They must be near a large concentration of it." He explained to them as Optimus then projected their most likely courses, showing that the two groups were heading to the mountain.
The map then showed the mountain. "A mountain of it to be more precise." Said Optimus after seeing the picture the computer showed them.
Cheetor then punched Rattrap in the arm. "Told you rat breath." Said Cheetor glad he was proven right.
"Yeah ask me, both you and Optimus need to be de-bugged." Countered Rattrap as the two glared at each other.
While Cheetor and Rattrap were having their staring contest Rhinox was thinking about the mountain. "You know it's possible, if the energon were unstable and there were a big enough concentration, it could lift a mountain off the ground." Said Rhinox as Optimus agreed with him, but Yang was confused by it.
"Wait how can energon lift a mountain off the ground?" Wondered Yang as Rhinox looked over at her.
"Do you want the technical version or what I just told you?" Asked Rhinox knowing that Yang was more of a girl of action and that technical terms went over her head a fair bit.
Yang thought about it for a second before answering. "I think I'll stick with what you said." She told him not wanting to here all the technical stuff.
Seeing that Yang understood the situation Optimus gave his orders. "Rattrap rig for demolition and meet me at the roof hatch in five cycles, Yang give Rattrap a hand, you're coming with us." He told them as he went to get ready for the mission himself.
"Wait what are we doing?" Wondered Rattrap who wasn't sure what he was going to blow up.
"To destroy that mountain, before the Predacons try to secure it." Answered Optimus as he turned and looked over at Rhinox. "Rhinox set the defence grid on maximum, and Cheetor try to get Ruby out of the lab and ready for combat." Said Optimus as Cheetor walked off and Rhinox worked on the defence grid.
Rattrap couldn't believe that he had to blow up a so called floating mountain. "It's always something." He said to himself as he shook his head in disbelief before looking over to where Yang was waiting for him. "Come on were going to need a fair bit of explosives to deal with this." Said Rattrap as the two walked off, to get their gear.
Floating Mountain, Vale/Vacuo border
While the Maximals got ready to take out the mountain Terrorsaur reached the mountain and flew to where he first got his power boost in hopes of regaining the power. Meanwhile Tarantulas and Mercury flew their bullhead towards the mountain.
Mercury couldn't believe what he was seeing. "A flying mountain." Mercury said to himself in disbelief but Tarantulas heard him.
"Not flying, but rather floating. The power required for something like his is immense." Corrected Tarantulas as he saw a ledge big enough to land on that also connects to the main area. "Land over there, we'll walk in on foot." Ordered Tarantulas as Mercury took the bullhead over to the ledge and landed it. Soon the two were walking into the mountain, while Tarantulas stayed in beast mode.
As the two walked Mercury wondered something. "So what do we do now?" Wondered Mercury as Tarantulas continued to walk.
"We find out how Terrorsaur is powering himself up first and then go from there." Was all Tarantulas said as Mercury shook his head and continued to walk. Little did either know that they soon where going to have competition for the mountain.
Nearby the mountain a ground bridge portal opened up in mid-air and out of it came Optimus in robot mode with Yang carrying a bag on her side and Rattrap on Yang's back as they flew through the air.
"Man, oh, man if I wanted to fly, I would have become a bat not a rat." Whined Rattrap as they flew towards the mountain.
"It was the fastest way to get here. The energon is playing havoc with the ground bridge so it can only get us so close." Optimus told him as he continued to fly them all towards the mountain.
Yang gained a smirk on her face. "What's a matter rattrap scared of flying?" Teased Yang as Rattrap just looked at her the best he could.
"I have no problem with flying, its falling that I have a problem with." Countered Rattrap as he reminded Yang of the downed bullhead in the area she saw earlier.
Not wanting to forget again Yang turned her attention to Optimus. "Hey Optimus there's something I want to ask you." Said Yang gaining some of Optimus's attention as he continued to fly towards their destination.
"It's going to have to wait, we're here." Said Optimus as all three of them could see the Mountain in the sky.
Rattrap seeing it whistled at it. "Guess I owe the pussycat an apology." Said Rattrap seeing how he was wrong about what he said to Cheetor earlier. Optimus then flew closer to the mountain and found a ledge for him to land on. As soon as he landed both Rattrap and Yang jumped off of his back.
Optimus then felt the energon surge affecting his body as his computer spoke to him. "Danger, energon surge, return to beast mode or stasis lock is imitate." Warned his computer system as Optimus returned to beast mode.
Soon the three of them walked through the mountain looking at all the energon. "There is a lot of energon here." Whistled Yang looking at the energon that lined the walls.
"That's true we will have to use our robotic form sparely." Said Optimus as he also looked at all the energon that kept the mountain afloat.
"Don't worry thats why I'm here. I'm not effect by the energon like you two are." Boosted Yang as Optimus stopped and looked at her.
"That may be true but that doesn't mean you should be careless." Warned Optimus as they continued on thier way to the centre of the mountain. Soon the three of them saw Terrorsaur as he transformed, and landed in the area in front of them causing them to hide behind some rocks as they watched him.
As Terrorsaur landed on the ground he walked over to where he first got his power boost. "Now to regain my power." Said Terrorsaur as he held out his hands toward the crystals causing their power to surge through his body once more.
Soon Terrorsaur had regained the power he used to destroy Megatron. "Yes, yes, YES!" cried Terrorsaur as he started to laugh with the feeling of power he had.
As the others watched on Rattrap couldn't help but speak up. "Uh oh, this is bad." Said Rattrap as the three lowered themselves behind the rocks.
"So what's the plan?" Asked Yang, when normally she would attack, but after seeing what Terrorsaur could do with his power boost she didn't want to risk it.
"Ok his circuits can't hold a charge that massive for long. I'll lead him away, you two set the charges and I'll come back for you in four cycles." Said Optimus as Rattrap wasn't sure about the plan.
"And suppose he blast's you into itty bitty pieces, it's a long way down." Said Rattrap voicing his concerns about the plan.
"It sure is." Said Optimus surprising both Yang and Rattrap with what he said. Optimus then stood up for the group as he transformed and gained the attention of Terrorsaur.
"Optimus how nice of you to save me the trouble of hunting you down." Said Terrorsaur who was so sure that Optimus would as difficult to defeat as Megatron was.
Optimus had only one thing to say about that. "Let's do it." Was all he said as he took to the sky with Terrorsaur following him behind him, as Optimus led Terrorsaur away from Yang and Rattrap so that they could set the charges. Now all Optimus had to do was dodge all the shots that Terrorsaur was firing at him from his shoulder cannons and hope that his power boost would ware off soon.
Optimus did every move he could think of to keep Terrorsaur off his back he flew downwards towards the base of the mountain, he used the nearby floating rocks as shields. But no matter what Optimus did Terrorsaur was still on his tail, and some of his shot were too close for comfort for Optimus as he continued dodging Terrorsaur. Optimus then hid behind a rock as Terrorsaur flew past him as Optimus active his wrist cannon and fired at Terrorsaur. The shots hit Terrorsaur sending him into a nearby rock, but like with Megatron they did nothing to him.
Terrorsaur flew out of the rock and got closer to Optimus. "Now you've made me mad." Terrorsaur growled at him as he fired a barrage form his shoulder cannons at Optimus.
Optimus barely dodged in time as he flew away. 'I hope Yang and Rattrap are having better luck then me.' He thought as he continued his game of cat and mouse with Terrorsaur as the cat and were he was the mouse.
Meanwhile Yang and Rattrap both went to the main area as they looked around. Rattrap examined the area before he looked over to Yang. "Ok, two charges should do the job, but to be safe we'll set an extra two charges on the other side of this area." He explained to her as Yang brought out two charges and tossed them to Rattrap. Yang then went over to the other side of the mountain as Rattrap sent the two charges on some Energon as the timer started to count down.
"Now if Optimus can get back here in time." Rattrap said with worry in his voice as he started to walk over in the direction that Yang went so they could regroup and meet up with Optimus. Little did he know that the two of them were about to have company.
Back with Optimus he was still in the same situation as he was before, with the only difference this time being that Terrorsaur was firing like crazy. Optimus was using anything and everything he could as a shield to defend himself with. But then Terrorsaur fired at a rock above Optimus as he was flying under it causing the rocks to hit Optimus making him stop giving Terrorsaur a chance to fly right in front of Optimus.
"You're mine now Maximal." Said Terrorsaur as hit fired at Optimus point blank with his eye lasers. The blasts hit Optimus sending him down while Terrorsaur laughed at his handy work. Optimus was lucky enough to land on the main mountain, but unfortunately for him he bounced a few times giving him even more damaged before he finally stopped.
When Optimus tried to get up the energon from the mountain was already affecting his body. "Energon surge, stasis lock is imitate" Warned Optimus's computer system.
"Have to transform or I'm finished." Said Optimus as he changed into beast mode knowing that it was better, than going into stasis lock with Terrorsaur right above him. Optimus then looked up as he heard Terrorsaur coming down with a wicked smile on his face.
Back with Yang she just set two more charges on some energon. She was about to leave when out of nowhere someone kicked her sending her to the ground. Looking up Yang saw Mercury standing there with a smile on his face.
"Who the hell are you!?" Demanded Yang as she got Ember Celia ready for a fight.
Mercury just smirked at Yang. "Your worst nightmare." Was all he said before he fired some shots form his shoes as Yang. Yang jumped to the side and charged at Mercury wanting to punch his face in. Mercury got out of the way of the punch and was about to fire another shot at Yang, but stopped when he saw she was in front of energon. He then went in close as attacked Yang with serval kicks. Yang tried to block some of the kicks, but some of them got through and then Mercury roundhouse kicked Yang. The force was so strong it sent Yang against the wall, as she got up she saw one of the charges fell out of her bag and was on the ground near her. Getting an idea Yang stood up with the charge in here hand.
"Well whoever you are you're going to get a blast out of this." Said Yang as she tossed the charged at Mercury who had no time to react as it exploded right in front of him. When the dust settled Yang didn't see her opponent anywhere and thought he was blown somewhere else.
'I better find Rattrap and fast.' Thought Yang as she went to find Rattrap hoping that he was ok since that guy probably didn't come alone.
And Yang was right as Rattrap was looking for Yang he failed to see Tarantulas climbing on the rocks behind him until it was too late. The next thing Rattrap knew Tarantulas was on top of him pinning him to the ground.
"Surprise." Taunted Tarantulas as Rattrap struggled to his feet. Luckily for Rattrap he got to his feet and started to run while Tarantulas was still on his back. Seeing a low ledge Rattrap ran under it with Tarantulas hitting the top of it and falling off of him.
"Sorry bug bot it got no time to play with you." Said Rattrap as he continued on his search for Yang, but Tarantulas wasn't done just yet.
"I'm afraid I insist." Said Tarantulas as he jumped at Rattrap only for Yang to come out of nowhere and grab him by his back.
"Sorry bug boy but play time is over." Said Yang as she shotgun punched him in the direction she came from.
Once Tarantulas was dealt with Yang looked over at Rattrap. "Let find Optimus and blow this place." Punned Yang as Rattrap groaned in response.
"You know you got to stop those puns." Said Rattrap as the two of them went to find Optimus.
Meanwhile Tarantulas finally landed on the ground after Yang's punch. As he got up he heard moaning and was wondering what was causing it. Looking for the source Tarantulas found Mercury on the ground, but the interesting thing was that his right leg was broken, but instead of flesh and blood Tarantulas saw metal and oil.
Mercury heard Tarantulas coming and looked at him. "Tarantulas help me, my leg is broken and they set bombs here." Cried Mercury as Tarantulas just looked at him, before he started to walk away from him.
"Tarantulas where are you going help me!" Said Mercury as fear and worry was getting to him.
Tarantulas stopped and looked at him. "Why should I, what's in it for me?" He asked wondering what was in it for him to help him.
Mercury thought for a moment before answering. "I'll owe you one." He said hoping he would help him. Tarantulas thought for a moment before he went back and placed Mercury on his back.
"Just remember this, I always collect on my debts." Said Tarantulas as he carried Mercury back to the bullhead, while mercury was wondering if he would have been better off where he was.
Back with Optimus things weren't looking good for him as Terrorsaur was standing over him with his gun trained on him. "Say good-bye Optimus Primal." Said Terrorsaur as he got ready to finish Optimus for good, only his power boost to end at that moment.
"Energon drain, stasis lock imitate." Warned Terrorsaur's computer system as Terrorsaur was feeling the full front of the drain.
"No not now." Said Terrorsaur as he jumped away and transformed into beast mode to recharge his power.
Optimus then started to get back to his feet as Terrorsaur flew over to him. "I'll be back for you as soon as I replenish my power." Terrorsaur warned him as he took off leaving Optimus by himself.
"Got to get to Yang and Rattrap, not much time." Said Optimus as he struggled to move and find the others.
Yang and Rattrap entered a ledge entered on as they looked around for Optimus, but they soon heard Terrorsaur cry as they looked up and saw Terrorsaur flying through the air, with no Optimus near him.
"Oh man, looks like Optimus lost this round and that means were done for." Said Rattrap as he started to panic, while Yang thought she would never see Ruby again or find her mother.
Terrorsaur meanwhile got back to the energon clearing as he struggle to stay air born. "Must recharge, must." He said as he huffed as he then saw the bombs that Rattrap placed.
Terrorsaur couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Demolition charges, they'll tear this mountain to pieces." He cried out as he started to fly away from the mountain as fast as he could. He might want power, but he wasn't going to die over it. The charges then went off as Terrorsaur was making a break for it, destroying everything on the mountain.
Meanwhile Tarantulas and Mercury were in the bullhead and making a break for it. Mercury who was sitting on the ground while tarantulas flew the bullhead asked a question. "So what do we tell Adam?" He asked Tarantulas as he stayed quite.
Yang and Rattrap just stood there as the mountain was being blown up. "Well at least were going out with a bang." Said Rattrap as Yang said nothing.
"The only place we're going is home." Said Optimus as he climbed over the ledge and joined the two of them.
"Optimus you're alive." Said Yang as she and Rattrap rushed over to him.
"We'll all be dead soon. Hurry both of you hop onto my back." Said Optimus as Yang hopped on his back followed by Rattrap.
"Ok make like a bird." Said Rattrap wanting to get out of there and fast.
"Can't, the energon blast will fry my circuits permanently just hold tight." Said Optimus as he ran for the edge.
"Oh man, oh man, oh man don't tell me you're going to jump." Cried Rattrap as Optimus jumped off the mountain as it exploded behind them. As they flew Yang was crying in joy form the feel of it while Rattrap was crying. When the mountain exploded the blast sent them away from the other mountains and towards the nearby jungle.
The three of them landed on a tree as Optimus was holding onto it. "Yeah let's do that again." Cried Yang as the others looked at her.
"Maybe latter, but for now would you two mind getting off my back?" Asked Optimus as Yang and Rattrap climbed off his back and onto the tree branch.
As the three made themselves more comfortable on the breach Rattrap looked over to Optimus. "You do know that was crazy." He told him as Optimus just shrugged.
"Sometimes crazy works." Replied Optimus. "By the way you did good up there, both of you." Hearing this made Yang beam with pride.
"Yeah you weren't so bad yourself, but don't tell anyone I said that." Said Rattrap as Yang then got Optimus attention.
"Hey Optimus remember earlier about me having something to tell you?" Asked Yang as Optimus and Rattrap looked her way wondering what she wanted to say.
"Yes, what is it?" Wondered Optimus as Yang grinned.
"Well me and Cheetor found this downed Atlesian Dropship nearby. We were thinking of bring it back to base and fixing it up. What do you think?" Asked Yang as Optimus thought about it for a bit.
After making up his mind Optimus gave his response. "Ok you have permission to grab it and fix it up." He told her as Yang pumped his fist.
Vacuo, Darksyde
After finally being able to fly back to the Darksyde, Terrorsaur was still in a bad mood over what happened. "Blast those Maximals, they destroyed my power. But at least I got rid of Megatron." Terrorsaur said to himself as he landed at the main hatch to enter the base. But when he did, he saw Megatron walking slowly toward him with serval people behind him watching on.
"Well, well look who's back." Said Megatron as Terrorsaur paled at the sight of Megatron. That night the White fang and Predacons had a lot of entertainment.
Vale, Dust till dawn
Later that night Ruby was at a dust shop called Dust till dawn reading a weapon magazines while listening to some music. When Optimus and his team returned back to Axalon with a Atlesian Dropship, Optimus gave Ruby a little talking to about diving into work so bad that she ignores the outside world. Ruby didn't like it, but she was glad she could upgrade silver thorns. Now instead of palm controls she add special black fingerless gloves to it, so now she just needs to make a fist with the fabric touching in a certain way and her weapon will activate. This way they won't turn on when she's holding Crescent Rose or something like that.
Now for as to why she was there, Yang came up to her when she got back and asked if she could make some adjustments to Ember Celia. When she fought that boy on the mountain she got lucky with the charge, if it didn't work who know what could have happened. So now Ruby is getting some ideas as to what to do for Yang's weapon upgrade. She was so into the magazine she didn't hear the door open as Roman and four disguised White Fang members walk in.
Roman walked over to the shop keep, who was afraid at Roman's appearance. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?" Asked Roman as he flicked his cigar like nothing was wrong, meanwhile the shop keeper was scared for his life.
"Please! Just take my lien and leave." Said the shopkeeper as he raised his hands in fear.
Roman just shook his head at that. "I'm not here for lien tonight, I'm here for your dust." Said Roman as the White fang got to work grabbing the dust. Two went and collected the dust in the containers on the wall, while one of them wandered the store and the last one went to the shop keeper.
"I want crystals, burn, uncut, and if you try anything I'll get mad and you won't like me when I'm mad." Threatened the White Fang member as the shop keeper gave him the dust he wanted.
Soon the member patrolling the store saw Ruby standing in the corner in the back of the store with her back turned to him. Not wanting to take any chances he walked over to her, while pulling out a sword. "Ok kid put your hands where I can see them." He threatened her but got no response out of her. Not liking how she was treating him he walked over and turned her around and saw she was listening to music.
He then motioned to her headphones, making Ruby take them off. "Yes?" She asked, but had a good idea what was going on.
"I said, put your hands in the air, now!" Said the member as Ruby understood what was happening.
"And if I don't." Replied Ruby as she put the magazine away. The White Fang member had enough and went to swing at her only for Ruby to use Silver thorn and cut the blade in half. The member looked at his sword before Ruby went and kicked him to the other side of the store.
Roman, who was still at the counter looking at some Dust, saw the guy go flying by him as did the others. Soon the one of the other White Fang members went to see what happened as saw Ruby there. He pulled out his gun, but the next thing he knew he was out on the street, feeling pain all over his body as Ruby landed on his body.
As the others took a look at her, Ruby out Crescent Rose out in scythe mode as she twirled it and stuck the ground with her scythe facing them. Roman then saw the Maximal symbol on her belt.
"Well, well, well looks like we have a Maximal here. Get her!" Ordered Roman as the remaining White Fang members plus the guy she kicked earlier pulled out their Predacon guns and rushed outside for a better shot. One of them shot at Ruby but she jumped over the blast and used the blunt end of Crescent Rose to hit him with knocking him out. The next one used a mini machine gun, but Ruby used a combination of her speed and the recoil form Crescent Rose to avoid the shots. She then, using her speed, kicked the man sending him into a lamp post. The final one saw what happened and tried to run away, but Ruby was already on him and used her scythe to knock him out as Roman just watched.
"And Adam says you're good fighters." Mumbled Roman as he looked at the downed White Fang members, before finally looking at Ruby as he walked out of the shop.
"Well red, it looks like the Maximals win this round." Started Roman as he dropped his cigar and crushed it with his cane. "Shame I'm such a sore loser." He finished as he raised his cane and the bottom lifted up showing that it was a gun. He then fired at Ruby who dodged it by using Crescent Rose recoil. When she looked at where Roman was she saw he gone. Looking around she saw him climbing up a nearby fire escape.
Ruby then looked at the shop keeper. "You ok if I go after him?" She asked him as the shop keeper nodded yes to her.
When Roman reached the roof he started to run to the other side just as Ruby reached the top as well. "Hey!" Cried out Ruby as Roman stopped at the other end of the roof. But then a bullhead appeared out of nowhere as Roman climbed inside it and then turned and face Ruby.
"End of the line red." Said Roman as he pulled out a red dust crystal and tossed it at Ruby. He then fired at the crystal causing a huge explosion. Roman thought he got her, but when the dust settled standing in front of Ruby was a woman that was holding up a shield in front of them.
This woman was middle-age with green eyes wearing glasses with blond hair that was tied in a bun and had curl hanging down the right side of her face. She wore a whit long-sleeved suit with puffy sleeves that exposed part of her chest. On her lower body she has on a black business skirt with buttons running in a vertical line up the front of it. She also wore high heels and a purple tattered cape. On her cape it had a row of diamond-shaped drown beads going horizontally across it. And above the beads was an emblem of a tiara. The most interesting thing about her was that her weapon was a riding crop.
The woman the flicked her wrist firing several purple blots that hit the bullhead. Knowing he was in trouble Roman ran to the front where Cinder was flying the bullhead. "We got a huntress, go deal with her." He told her, as Cinder left to deal with her and Roman took over.
The woman then fired another blast above the bullhead creating storm clouds above it. The clouds then fired ice spears all over the bullhead. It was at the moment that Cinder was ready and fired a fire ball at the woman, who made a shield to defend herself. The blast fragments landed all around her as they started to glow. The woman then back flipped away as the ground exploded and used the debris around her and turned it into a giant spear and fired it at the bullhead. Cinder blasted it a few times, but the spear remade itself each time. Roman then angled the bullhead to have the spear hit the top of the ship, saving them. The woman then broke up the spear and had the piece circle the bullhead. Cinder who had enough of this fired a fire barrier around the ship, destroying the broken up spear pieces. Seeing this Ruby stepped in and fired several shots from Crescent Rose in sniper mode hoping to help, but Cinder blocked each shot with her hand. Cinder then prepared serval explosions near the two. The woman seeing this got herself and Ruby out of the way, but in doing so Roman and Cinder got away.
Seeing that the danger was over the woman looked over to Ruby, who had stars in her eyes. "You're a huntress. Can a have your autograph!" Asked Ruby only to then find herself in the police interrogation room a little latter with the woman walking around her.
"I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young lady. You put yourself and others in great danger." The woman sternly told Ruby as Ruby felt like Optimus was talking to her again.
"They started it, and if I did nothing who knows what they would have done." Defended Ruby knowing they worked for the Predacons, but couldn't say anything about it.
"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back..." Started the woman as Ruby smiled at it before she continued. "...And a slap on the wrist." She finished as she slapped her whip on the table making Ruby jump back into her seat in fear.
"But, there is someone here who would like to meet you." Said the woman as a man entered the room. This man looked like he was middle-aged with silver hair and brown eyes. He wore an unzipped black suit over a bottomed vest and green undershirt. He also wore dark-green pants and black trouser shoes. He also has on a green scarf with a cross-shaped emblem on it and shaded glass spectacles. In his left hand he was caring a mug with the Beacon academy symbol on it and in his right he had a plate of cookies.
"Ruby Rose.." Started the man as he took a closer look at her. "You… have silver eyes." He finished making Ruby wonder why her eyes were important. He then stood up straight and the women had a tablet with a video of Ruby's fight playing on it.
"So! Where did you learn to this?" The man asked her as he gestured to the tablet behind him.
Not sure what to say Ruby answered truthfully. "Signal Academy." She told him as the man looked a little surprised at the answer.
"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" Questioned the man wondering if she was telling the truth or not.
"Well, one teacher in particular." Replied Ruby.
"I see.." Started the man as he put the plate of cookies in front of Ruby as she tentatively picked on up and eat it in one go. She then grabs the rest and eats them all quickly without choking on them. "It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow..." Finished the man as his mind wondered for a second.
"You must mean my uncle Qrow. He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm all like— Hooowaaah! Witchaaaa!" Said Ruby as she made some karate-style poses and noise.
"Then did he teach you how to use theses wrist blades?" Asked the man as he should Ruby her fight inside the store as she cut the sword in two.
"Um, no I'm learning that on my own. See I'm not good at close range like my sister, so I'm trying to get better and made a weapon for that purpose." Answered Ruby as the man and woman bought her answer for now.
"Then what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?" Questioned the man wondering what her answer would be this time.
"Well… I want to be a huntress." Answered Ruby causing the man to press for more.
"You want to slay monsters?" He asked wondering if there was more or not.
"Yeah! But recently I found out there are more than one type of monster, and if we can't stand up to all types of monsters out there then we lose. After all freedom is the right of all sentiment beings." Said Ruby as everyone failed to see that her eyes glowed for a second when she said that last part.
"I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon! There I'll gain what I need to make a difference in the world." Said Ruby surprising the two adults in the room with her unique and mature answer.
The man was quite for a bit before he spoke. "Do you know who I am?" He asked her.
"You're Professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster at Beacon." Answered Ruby causing the now identified Ozpin to smile.
"Hello." He said as Ruby smiled back.
"Nice to meet you." She said wondering what would happen next.
"You want to come to my school?" Asked Ozpin.
"More than anything." Ruby answered him, expressing her love for the school.
"Well, okay." Said Ozpin shocking Ruby with the answer.
"Just like that?" Asked Ruby making sure she heard ok.
Ozpin took a sip form his mug before answering her. "Yes. Now head home and I'll send you a list of everything you'll need along with the proper paper work to fill out." He told her as Ruby got up and left the room wondering if she was dreaming or not.
When she left the room Ozpin looked to the woman. "I know you disagree with this Glynda." Said Ozpin as the Glynda looked at him.
"She too young for beacon Ozpin. Why are you letting her in so early?" Asked Glynda as Ozpin drank more of her coffee.
"Because she has potential to be a great huntress. And remember the explosion that took place last month on patch?" He asked as Glynda nodded yes. "I have reason to believe she was in the middle of it, I have no proof, but I have this feeling that can't be explained. But there's more to her then more than meets the eye." Said Ozpin as he started to look over Ruby's file from Signal.
Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I tied combing two different episodes in this chapter and I hope it flowed ok. Now we have one more chapter before we go to Beacon and it's based on one of my more favorite episodes of beast wars. So feel free to review, but please don't post every day asking for the next chapter it is getting old and annoying.
