Grimlock was stomping through the forest as the Dinobots followed behind him, Sludge was walking up towards Grimlock wanting to talk to him about his behavior "Grimlock i need to talk to you."Sludge said "About what?"Grimlock asked not looking at him "About this... dangerous obsession with terminating Shockwave."Sludge said making Grimlock cock his head a little offended by that "I want to make Shockwave pay for what he did, the whole team does but we can't just go confront him without a plan."Sludge said "i do have a plan Sludge, I'm going to stomp his one red eye out."Grimlock said with a low growl "that's not what I mean Grimlock, I mean a real plan, Shockwave is smart,he has plans on top of plans strategies on top of strategies,if we are going to slag him for good this time we need to not think with our ferocious dino brains and instead with our logical Cybertronian brains."Sludge said.
Grimlock saw some logic to Sludge's words as he began to think back to the rescue mission to rescue Swoop, Grimlock didn't tell Optimus Prime or anyone else the situation and now that he thought about it that was a rather poor decision on his part and he didn't exactly take Shockwave as seriously as he should have and because of that he and his team were blindsided by the Insecticons and were transformed into the Dinobots. However Grimlock also noted that this wasn't Cybertron and as far as he knew there weren't any Insecticons here so he didn't have any bugs to cower behind only one Predacon that Grimlock knew were tough and needed to be dealt with as a team.
"You know what you're right Sludge,I've been seeing red lately, and I've been jumping without thinking into every chance to destroy Shockwave."Grimlock said with a little bit of guilt as he now knows that because of his bloodthirsty mindset they are now stuck on a planet with no way off. Sludge patted Grimlock's shoulder "we all want to destroy Shockwave and we will we just have to work together as a team."Sludge said.
Slash was walking behind Grimlock and Sludge as she looked around her surroundings and she looked beside her to the mostly empty forest and that was when she saw approximately 30 yards away two sets of blue eyes staring at her from the shadows, Slash froze as she gazed into the mesmerizing eyes until she felt something bump into her it was Slam "woah what's with the road block?"Slam asked in confusion as Slash looked back to where the eyes were and saw that they were gone.
"What the?"Slash said as she looked around "What is it?"Slug asked as the others stopped and Grimlock and Sludge looked back at the group "I saw something over there,I think it was two people."Slash said with slight alarm "Shockwave and Serket?"Paddles asked getting battle ready "I don't think so neither of those two have blue eyes,I think someone else is here."Slash said pulling her daggers out, Grimlock's red eyes glowed as he scanned the forest looking for anything to shoot until they heard a branch snap which caused them to point their weapons around the area.
"Ok this is unnerving."Slam said looking around "Who's out there, come on out now!"Grimlock ordered looking around and still saw nothing Swoop had his sword ready as this rather spooky situation reminded him of another that happened a long long time ago. "This reminds me of a Wreckers mission I heard about,The Autobots got a destress message from a missing cybertronian research ship and the Wreckers were sent to an unknown planet kind of like this one to find the missing cybertronian scientists only they were being hunted by something, it killed the team one by one, until only two wreckers remained and the missing scientist they found."
"What's the point of this scary story Swoop?"Paddles asked looking around "they didn't kill the creature it's still alive what if this is the same planet?"Swoop suggested making the Dinobots pause for a moment as they thought about it and they considered the possibility but they had a more important task waiting for them "One thing at a time,were going after shockwave not some unknown alien creature, let's continue on but keep your optics sharp."Grimlock ordered as he continued on with the others beginning to follow him at the same time keeping their heads on swivels and they began to ask themselves if what Slash saw wasn't Shockwave or Serket then who or what was it?
Meanwhile
Shockwave,Serket and Flatline waited for the arrival of the Dinobots which Serket was excited about "Everyone clear on the plan?"Shockwave asked "oh yeah."Serket said with a sinister grin however Flatline was a little bit nervous as he didn't feel like he fit in in this little war because he was a normal cybertronian and the Dinobots were upgraded Autobots he would most assured get pummeled. "Ok why am I a part of this plan exactly, I'm just a normal cybertronian."Flatline said pulling out a rifle as he stood beside Shockwave.
Shockwave looked at Flatline "if you didn't want to be a part of this war you shouldn't have got on the ship with us."Shockwave stated making Flatline scoff at him and he was about to speak again until he saw a shadow of something flying above his head accompanied by a whooshing sound. "Woah!!"Flatline exclaimed as he pointed the gun upwards Shockwave and Serket looked up as they noticed the shadow too "Swoop."Serket growled ready to take the flight to the sky until they heard multiple branches snap on both sides of the flanks and then they saw multiple eyes glowing from the shadows of the tree lines followed by the sounds of growling.
"They're here!"Flatline exclaimed in alarm as he pointed his rifle at the direction of the eyes Shockwave was about to aim his weapon at the Dinobots as well until he noticed something off about their eyes they were the wrong color Shockwave noticed some red and orange colors followed by a deep purple as well but none of them were blue. "Wait these aren't the Dinobots."Shockwave said with a little hint of alarm in his voice "What?"Serket asked in confusion just then something landed in front of them with a thud and they could see that it was not Swoop standing before them was a mechanical birdlike dragon creature with tan, yellow,green and purple coloring. Flatline stared at the creature with sheer terror "What is that?!!"he cried shaking Shockwave studied the creature and his eye landed on the familiar Predacon symbol on it's shoulder.
"It's a Predacon."Shockwave said as the others then came out of the trees showing that there were multiple ones, Two, two headed Predacons one was red in color and the other was yellow, another hulking blue, purple and yellow colored predator, a light blue and yellow bipedal Lizard like creature,a red, yellow and purple creature with a laser cannon on it's back and it's tail ending with an axe and a dark blue Ursagryph creature.
They all formed up on the Bird Predacon all snarling at the trio who started to back up towards the ship "I don't think we need to worry about the Dinobots slagging us, these guys will beat them to it."Flatline said pointing his weapon at the creatures in fear and Serket was ready to fight, these guys can be the warm up before the Dinobots. Shockwave stood in silence as he studied the Predacons and it all came back to him "Ahh so this is where you guys ended up." then he started to slowly approach them "Uh Shockwave what are you doing?"Flatline said as Shockwave stopped in front of the Predacons and they stared at him before growling and they transformed into robot modes surprising Serket and Flatline but not exactly Shockwave as he knew transformation was a part of Cybertronian biology even though there was no evidence that the Predacons had t cogs Shockwave suspected they could transform.
"Ohh snacks."the yellow two headed Predacon said pointing an arm which had the dragon mode head and neck on it "I call first bite on the puny looking one."the bipedal Lizard creature said gazing at Flatline with a creepy grin "What about her?"The bird dragon predacon asked gesturing to Serket and then the Ursagryph Predacon eyed Serket up and down with a little grin "never encountered a female Predacon before, what's your name beautiful?"He asked making Serket look at him with disgust as she put her hand on his face "I'm Serket and not interested."Serket said shoving him away.
Then the red clad Predacon stepped forward scanning Shockwave as he found him familiar "This one...is familiar."he said as the others eyed him as well "yeah he's familiar to me too, who are you?"The bird dragon predacon asked "I am Shockwave, I'm thrilled you remember me,I created you a long time ago,for a mission on a distance planet to secure Energon for our lord and master Megatron."Shockwave explained the Predacons took that in and they recalled briefly seeing Megatron as he sent them off to this planet.
"Yes now i remember,we were supposed to kill the Autobots here and hold the energon here until he showed up,is he here?"The red clad Predacon asked "I'm not sure,possibly."Shockwave said "There's Energon on this planet?!"Flatline said in amazement.
"So what are your names?"Serket asked curiously wanting to know these Predacon's names"I'm Hun-Grrr, I'm the leader of this team."The red clad Predacon said "Windrazor."The bird dragon predacon said "Twinstrike."The yellow Predacon said "Rippersnapper."the lizard Predacon said "Darksteel."the Ursagryph said "Lazerback."The red and purple Predacon said the he gestured at the hulking predacon "and that's Blight." Blight merely let out a cave man like grunt in response.
If shockwave could smile he could his Predacon creations weren't as dead as he thought they've been living on this planet doing their duties, however as he looked at the team he noticed that a member was missing, as he created one more and he wondered what happened to it but that was a mystery for another time right now he had to focus on the bigger problem,that problem being the Dinobots.
"Hun-Grrr i don't know how long it has been since you and your team has fought anything autobot related,but we're currently being hunted by Dinobots."Shockwave said as the Predacons looked at each other in confusion as they never heard of such a thing "Dino what?"Windrazor asked.
