"OC Episode #5.5 Side Saga"

[Night-Hunter]

((OOC: Minor change in plans, instead of bringing Saber, I'll bring the slightly crazy Sonar into the game.))

Sonar was suddenly awakened by a loud crash, growling deeply in irriation at his nap being disturbed he let go of the branch and headed in the direction of the crash.

I better find some thing useful in that crash. He thought with a growl.

What he found was a Starhopper, you didn't find very many of those now a days. He found the nearest tree and hung upside and waited to see what would happen.

The star hopper’s cock pit burst open with a hiss. Ironclaw crawled out on all four’s onto the boulder the ship had crashed into.

Sonar smiled, showing his teeth, this just got a whole lot more fun.

“I’m a badger?”

And my next meal. Sonar thought.

He was always wanted to try Honey Badger, now he would try it with the taste of mech fuild mixed in.

His ears twitched when he heard another wise, he cast a wave of sound in that direction and nearly growled when he saw it was Starshadow.

Great, just what I need. The bat thought bitting back a growl.

He had no idea, what Starshadow was up to, but he'd kill the badger and kill her to if she got in the way of his plans.

[Mystrea]

Ironclaw couldn't understand why he was under attack, he'd only just got here. He could just about manage to see the small black cat on him. He summond the strength he had and through it off of him. Ironclaw got to his feet, he took a moment to think about the creature which just attacked him. It was cat indeed, but to be more specific it was a black panther. He wasn't a warrior or an explorer and didn't really know how to handle this situation. More importantly he was stuck in this "beast" form and didnt know how to get out of it. He narrowed his eyes as he faced the panther and prepared for another attack.

[starshadow]

Starshadow hissed when the badger managed to push her off him. "It seems we'll have to do this the hard way..." Letting out a roar, she pounced on the badger once again, her jaws going for his neck but stopped when the wind blew. Sonar was nearby. It took her awhile to spot him.

"That ship is mine, batsy! No one's getting it but me!" she then growled.

[Night-Hunter]

Sonar watched as the honey Badger and Starshadow started to fight, he smiled this fight should get interesting.

"That ship is mine, batsy! No one's getting it but me!"

Looks like I've been spotted. He thought with a small sigh.

He let go of the branch and transformed into his robot form and landed on his feet.

"Didn't your parents tell you not to play with your food?" Sonar asked calmly. "And I'll take the ship if I want. I'll even strip it for parts." He simply smiled at her.

[starshadow]

Starshadow transformed into her robot mode and said, "They did and what are you going to do? Spank me?" she gave him a sexy smirk. She walked towards him, placing both hands on his shoulders and pushed him to a nearby tree.

"You know..for a predacon, you're quite handsome." she stroked his cheek with one of her hands and traced circles on his chest. She was just distracting him so that she could slam her arm on his throat if he ever screech, that way he won't be able to.

[Blazemane]

Hrm.. she's awake. I have some things to deal with in the lab, but I can take over monitor duty for you Cheetor. You and Feralnight can go investigate the scene, you should probably take Icebreaker with you.

Cheetor got out of his chair and ran straight for one of the elevators. There were already Predacons signatures around the ship.

"Gotcha. Tell Icebreaker to catch up with us when he can. Let's go, Feral!"

As soon as the platform reached the ground, he transformed to beast mode and took off at full speed, kicking up dirt behind his paws.

* * *

Glowstick, Steelclaw, Cecaelia. A Starhopper has been detected crashing in sector 7 5,2. Deploy immediately, I want that ship destroyed at once, but do explore the contents.. There might be something of value.

Steelclaw was just wandering down one of the halls to the bridge when Megatron's command came in.

"Yes, sir," he replied simply over his com-link. Then he switched to Glowstick's frequency.

"Do you think we-"

"Okie dokie Glowstick-kun~!!vTo the Starhopper!

Steelclaw turned around and saw Cecaelia coming out of Glowstick's quarters. Well, since the door was open, it was probably better to just shout down the hall.

"Hey, Glowstick. Are you planning on taking the Leviathan?"

((OOC: Come to think of it, Dinobot doesn't really need to be all that active for the Aurora plot. But I'll have him around, so Aurora can meet him and he can talk about whatever he would talk about with a new Maximal.))

[Mystrea]

Ironclaw got back on his feet. "More robots in disguise" he said to himself hoping that he wasn't stuck on this planet with the two of them. Maybe there were other on the planet, meaning that heoped there maxiamls here. He still didnt know what to do, in this form he wasn't ready for a fight. He could see that one of them was a female and one of them was a male.

He still didn't know what do, he was trapped in this form so he had to use it. He moved behind his ship and hid for a while untill he came up with a better plan.

[Night-Hunter]

"They did and what are you going to do? Spank me?"

I'll do more then spank you... I'll rip you apart. Sonar thought.

He allowed her to push him to a tree, he would play her game until it was his turn.

"You know..for a predacon, you're quite handsome."

He gave her a small smile. "Sorry... you're not my type...." He replied

He brought his knee up and slammed it into her stomach, then grabbed her by the throat and tossed her away from him.

"Just how stupid are you, did you really think I'd fall for that?" He asked her.

[New Moon]

Feralnight nodded at Rhinox but shook her head,"Cheetor wait up!" She called and flew down the lift, following after the cheetah. Thougt she hoped they got there quickly before the Predacons decided to do something stupid. "Let's hope this pilot is a friend this time and well alive." She Said to Cheetor over the com-link following him the fastest she could.

----------------------

Frilla came towards the base taking in the landscape though watched Cheetor and Feralnight leaving, wondering if something was going on. Shrugging the frilled lizard looked to where some of the others were meditating but didn't bother them. Coming to the lift she waited as it went off and crawled off."Maximize." Transforming she looked around a bit,"Hey Rhinox, Rattrap. Anything new happening?" She asked as she came to a seat and sat down looking at them.

[NaitoKage]

Glowstick floated out of Cecaelia's room, then looked towards Steelclaw as he spoke up. He nodded Uh yeah, if there are any weapons or parts off that thing to take.. well.. considering our strongest for this party is a cute little girl.. I think I'd rather use the Leviathan's manipulators and cargo hold.. And though Cecaelia can pilot.. Maybe it's about time you learned to fly our skyfish hm?

Glowstick then noticed Cecaelia run off without them, he let out a sigh floating towards the Leviathan, then entered a passcode opening the cargo hatch. He then activated his radio Um.. Cecaelia, it's faster to fly there. Come on. he then floated inside of the craft heading towards the bridge.

____________________

Rhinox nodded, then sat down at Cheetor's seat. He looked towards Frilla A ship crashed outside, and our new friend has finally awoke. Not sure Icebreaker would want you calling her his daughter.. It'd be best not to discuss that.

_______________

Icebreaker's optics dimmed slightly I believe it was probably partially an accident, but her body integrated technology needed to survive on this planet from your pod and body. But.. don't worry yourself about it. I'd like to say I'd see to it.. but I kinda end up burning the candle at both ends.. feels like I need to be three places at once sometimes. he laughed slightly.

He then stepped back, then motioned his arm to follow him as they headed towards the bridge and CR chamber. Follow me, CR chamber is up ahead in the bridge. That'll provide you with a new beast form.

[una]

"Good on my part."

Improved

Whitegrazer was glad that they were good. She put her hands on each of their shoulders and squeezed gently, smiling. She kept the one on Optimus a tad longer before letting go almost like she knew what he was thinking inside of his mind, comforting him.

"But we don't always have to face them alone though. Always take comfort that friends near and far, alive or dead..." she knocked on her chestplate, "are in here, in our spark. We are never alone." She smiled, opening her eyes slowly and noticed that there was a bird on her head. Her optics looked up but her head stayed still as she closed her eyes again. The bird was chirping as she closed her eyes again. She took a deep breath and let her words sink in as everything fell really silent for a moment.

Her mind wandered into depths unknown.

There is more danger than you know.

You can't do that!

Begin termination sequence.

Whitegrazer's face seem to cringe. The voices were so far away. She didn't recognize them. What was this?

You lose! Bwahahahahahahahaha

*BOOM*

She opened her eyes and didn't realize that she was standing up, breathing hard. Putting her hand on her head, she calmy tried to slow down her cooling systems and regain her calm composure. Her face did look alittle distaught for a second before it changed to a thoughtful expression

What was that?

The only thing loud was the explosion, the voices were like a conversation spoke away for her auditory sensors. Though, she thought one of voices was Optimus' She wondered what that was.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Blackarachnia made it to the area where the starhopper was and saw Starshadow and Sonar fighting over it. She rolled her eyes. They were like an couple, always fighting except these two hated each other. It was an explosive relationship.

I wonder where the pilot is?

She looked around to see a badger watching the two fight.

She chuckled and watched the badger, keeping herself hidden.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

(( OOC: Oooo. Seeing a little bit into the future there, una? Me likey. Poor 'Grazer is going to go nuts over that kind of knowledge! ))

Optimus's shoulders seemed to sink in a more relaxed position when Whitegrazer's hand lingered on him. He wanted to reach up and hold his hand over hers, but he remained focused on her lesson and cleared his mind again.

"But we don't always have to face them alone though. Always take comfort that friends near and far, alive or dead..." "are in here, in our spark. We are never alone."

The Maximal leader thought of Nightmist when she brought that up, which inevitably led to Orcariner, but in a good way, and then almost losing Wintersong. He also thought of Cybertron and their ancestors. The energy in his spark grew stronger and more positive, as if reaching out to those far away or long gone.

Optimus heard the bird's flapping when it flew in and landed somewhere very close to the group. He couldn't discern where it was exactly until it began chirping. It sounded like... but Whitegrazer had grown awfully quiet so suddenly. Curiosity over the odd situation broke his concentration and Primal opened his eyes to find the bird sitting on Whitegrazer, but the mare seemed distracted in her own thoughts, like something had suddenly torn her away from reality. As her facial expressions changed a bit dramatically, Optimus thought it best to reach out to her. "Whitegrazer?" he asked softly. "Are you all right?"

-----

"Maximize." "Hey Rhinox, Rattrap. Anything new happening?"

A ship crashed outside, and our new friend has finally awoke.

"Eh. You know, the usual day-to-day stuff," Rattrap grinned at Frilla after Rhinox's reply.

Not sure Icebreaker would want you calling her his daughter.. It'd be best not to discuss that.

"Guess you're right, Big Green. Don't wanna traumatize 'er anymore than she already will be once she steps outta this ship," said Rattrap, meaning when she'd be confronted with battle for the first time and playing with the Predacons, and the aliens, and finding out that they were stranded here with both of them and no means of getting home. "Actually, dat might happen before she steps outta the Axalon."

[Wintersong]

Wintersong had closed her eyes again, letting her mind clear and listened tot he sounds around her, taking in the scents of the plants, water, and those that drifted on the wind. As a bird chirped close to the ground she smiled but kept her focus on being calm, thinking of her inner demons, her fears and uncertainty. She thought of a few losses she had faced on Cybertorn but nothing that impacted great, not like some events there such as the loss of a teammate and nearly losing her life that same day. Thinking about the cold water making her feel suffocated, thinking if Glowwstick would attack or not, and finally having no choice but to surrender yet since then she had been afraid of deep water, shallows though were fine.

Hearing the sudden silence however the tigeress looked over at Whitegrazer and Optimus, wondering what had caused the mare to go so quiet.Though she didn't say anything only having a concern look.

[starshadow]

Starshadow rubbed her stomach and stood up, "I'm not stupid. I'm just getting warmed up." she fired out small plasma balls out of her mouth and ran behind the ship.

"AND...you still owe me a gun. Now I know why Saber dumped you.." she got her blades ready to shred the bat to strips of metal and looked at the badger, "Why are you hiding like a scared sissy? Help me slag the enemy! That guy is a predacon! Transform now!"

Obviously the catbot was lying, if the badger was a pred, he would attack her. Since he's not transforming or using his claws, she assume the newcommer is a maximal. Luckly, there were no predacon insignia branded on her body as she didn't see a point making one. Afterall, she is a halfling, a disgrace to both faction.

* * * * * * * * *

"Oh! Hehe! Coming!!" Cecaelia skipped back inside to the Darksyde, heading to the Leviathan and went inside it. "All passengers fasten your seat belts!"

((OOC: LOL! Explosive relationship. ))

[Mystrea]

Ironclaw's eyes opened wide and he stepped back away from the female that had just attacked him. He was now eager for others to arrive but wasn't sure if he should trust this female. She could have just made a mistake.

"What? Transform? how?" Ironclaw asked listening intently.
