It was a dark, gloomy day at the Predacon base. Darkfire was scouting all the grids and was not enjoying it one bit.

"This is useless! Nothing ever beeps on this thing!" she complained resting her head in her hands.

Inferno then stepped into view. "The Royalty wishes to see you," he said.

"Finally, a chance to get away from this stupid monitor duty!" She got up and ambled all the way to her leader’s quarters. She knocked on his door.

"Why can’t he just answer the door like normal people?" wondered Darkfire.

She then opened the door and walked in. Megatron was in his hot tub playing with his rubber ducky. "Ahem, Megs, you…uh…wanted to see me?" Darkfire inclined.

"Ah, yess. I did," the transmetal tyrant replied. He then got up out of his bath and dried himself off. "Now, Miss Fire, there is a stasis pod only a few clicks away from the base. I want you and Quickstrike to retrieve it."

"What about the Maximals? Do they know about the pod?"

Megatron growled. He hated it when she asked questions. Why couldn’t she just obey orders like the others? But he had to calm himself. He never admitted that he really liked Darkfire, but he did like her. He sighed and replied, "In my calculations, no. Make sure the animal in which the pod chooses isn’t something with fur."

"Okaaaay…"

"You can go now."

"Oh, of course. Uh…bye?"

She then walked out, a bit confused. She then reverted back to Pegasus mode. "Time to hit the wind!" she cried. "Oh, wait. I gotta go get Snake Breath."

The horse then trotted down the hall to find the fuzor. "Hey there, Sugah-bot," he said.

"For the last stickin’ time, don’t call me that!" the blood-red horse replied.

"Hey, you’re not the only one." Darkfire turned around to face her female friend, Blackarachnia.

"Oh, hey, Black. I wish you were coming with me instead of him," she whispered.

"So, what do you have to do?"

"Retrieve a stasis pod."

"Ooh, talk about bad luck!"

"Yeah, well, Megatron’s orders."

She then turned to Quickstrike. "C’mon, Snake Breath. We gotta go get that pod."

"Got ya, sweetheart!" he replied.

They walked out into the open, fresh air. "Ah, what a horrible day to steal a pod," Darkfire said with a bit of sarcasm.

"Yeah, let’s get that pod before them Maxies get it!" her companion replied.

The red Pegasus then leapt into the air and took off.

* * *

It took about 20min for them to find the pod.

"Oh yeah, only a few clicks away!" Darkfire mumbled rolling her eyes.

"Hmm, let’s see. Nothing with fur. What’re the choices? A dragon, uh-huh. A…butterfly? Yeah right! A tiger shark, hmm, possibility. And a Pegasus, now that’s more like it!" She then typed in a Pegasus for the beast form.

"Yes, another flying companion!" she whispered happily.

The pod shifted a little and out stepped a large, black as midnight, Pegasus. It had a long, black mane and a long, black tail. Its hooves were pitch black, except for one. One hoof was silver along with the horse’s wings. There was a white star just above the eyes, which were yellow.

This Pegasus didn’t look anything like Darkfire, however. Darkfire was a blood red Pegasus with a burning mane and a tail of fire. Her wings were shaped like those of a dragon and her ears were held back against her head. Her eyes were a mix between yellow and sometimes green. Her hooves were also red and they were extremely sharp. (Just think of the Greek god Apollo and his chariot horses).

"It is a pleasure to meet you," the black horse stated in a female, British accent. "I am Blackfire."

"I’m Darkfire and this is Quickstrike," the red horse replied nodding. Darkfire was now in beast mode along with the other two.

"Shall I transform?"

"Sure."

"Blackfire, TERRORIZE!"

At her shouted command, she transformed into a female robot about the same height as Darkfire. Her optics were yellow and her face was a dark, silvery black. She had long black robotic hair that extended from her silver mask that was over her head. She also had somewhat high-heeled shaped feet that were as pitch black as her Pegasus hooves. Her body was mostly black and silver with no other color shading. The white star that was on her forehead was now on her spear. Her wings extended on her back, making her capable of flying in both modes. Her weapons included a spear, yellow eye lasers, and a whip.

"Interesting robot form. I think I could get used to this," Blackfire said looking herself over. "You know, you sound the same as my triplet."

"I do?" Darkfire asked.

"Yes. Anyway, who is your leader?"

"Megatron."

"Megatron?! That tyrant still lives?! We shall laminate that mistake!"

"What are you talking about? Megatron is very honest and—what is it?"

"You like him, don’t you?" A grin was on Blackfire’s face.

"I do not!"

The red Pegasus looked helplessly at Blackfire. "Shut up!" she snapped.

"It is alright. I will not accuse you of having a ‘thing’ for your leader."

"Thank you."

"Are you going to transform?"

"Why should I?"

"I am your sister, I order you to transform."

"Fine, fine. Darkfire, TERRORIZE!"

Darkfire then transformed into a female robot with red Egyptian eyes. Her face was silver and her lips were a bloody red. She had long, red-orange hair extending from her head. Her orange beast mode wings also extended onto her back. Her body was mostly red, silver, and orange. She had good tracking skills, beauty that nobody could imagine, a bow and arrow, and a sword of fire. The sword was her favorite weapon.

"You are very…interesting," said Blackfire while looking her over.

"‘Eh, you’re not so bad yourself. Let’s…uh…get back to base."

"Good idea."

"BEAST MODE!" they each cried in unison.

The two horses flew off, leaving Quickstrike in the dust.

* * *

"Megs, we got the new recruit!" Darkfire called.

"Excellent! Let’s see hi—her? It’s…female? Um…Miss Fire, may I speak to you in private?" the transmetal T-Rex replied.

Both Blackfire and Darkfire followed him. "Uh…I said Miss Fire, that does not include you Miss…" Megatron started.

"Miss Blackfire, sir. I believe you know one of my sisters," the black and silver femme replied.

"One of your sisters? There are more? Darkfire, do you know anything about this?"

"Only that there were three of us and one other," she replied.

"Wonderful, and we have no knowledge of those ‘other two’ as you presumably call them."

"We can find their records."

"How?"

"How should I know, you’re the leader."

"Fine, I want you two to scout near the Maximal base. If they have any new recruits, report back."

"Ok, so it’s like ‘one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’?"

"This is not a mission to the moon!"

"Yeah, sure, whatever!" They started walking away.

"It’s also not a game!"

"Yeah, sure, not a game, got it!"

"Do you hear me?! No goof-offs!"

"Blah, blah, blah, yak, yak, yak, I’m not listening anymore!"

"AAARRRGGGHHH!! Females!"

The two trotted down the hallway in beast mode and ran into Waspinator. "Hello Horsie-bot. Why there two Horsie-botzz? Doezz Horsie-bot have twin?" he said.

"Does he always talk like that?" Blackfire asked her sister.

"Yeah, pretty much. Waspy, this is Blackfire, my sister," Darkfire said trying to get the wasp to understand.

"Oh, Horsie-bot have twin sizter!"

"Yeah."

"Nice to meet you, Waspy," Blackfire said nodding her head.

"Wazzpinator like new Horsie-bot!"

The two walk away. "He’s a sweet guy," Blackfire said chuckling.

"Yeah, he’s funny…when he wants to be."

The two then took off toward the Maximal base.

* * *

"Anything on the new recruits?" Optimus asked his green friend.

"Nothing. Just that…well…they’re both siblings," Rhinox replied sighing.

"If ya ask me…" Rattrap began.

"We’re not!" Optimus snapped.

"Well, it’s mighty suspicious, wouldn’t ya say?"

"That is one thing I will agree to," Dinobot said flatly. "We have no knowledge of these two and another thing: why do they have the same beast forms?"

"They don’t! One’s a horse and the other’s a…horse with wings!" Cheetor protested.

"Either way, they must have some fond memories to share. Why we don’t we ask them?" Silverbolt inquired.

"‘Eh, da Bird-Dog’s gotta point. Dose two are really strange, if ya know what I mean," Rattrap cut in.

The CR chambers then open. Out of one, stepped a tall, masculine robot about Optimus’s height. His optics were green and his face was silver. He had blonde hair that extended from a golden headband. His body was mostly silver and yellow. His weapons were a bow and arrow, dark green optic lasers, and a dagger.

"So, back on line?" Rattrap smirked.

"Silence vermin, or shall change what I eat!" the yellow and silver robot spat.

"Ooh, tough guy!"

"Stop you two!" Optimus cut in. "Now, we didn’t quite get your name."

"Oh, my name is Wildfire."

"Yeah, yer pretty wild already!" Rattrap sneered.

"Can I just hurt him, just one time?" Wildfire pleaded to the transmetal gorilla.

"No. I don’t let Dinobot, so I certainly can’t let you."

"I understand."

He then caught sight of a shy looking female in the corner. "Who is that?" he asked.

"That? Oh, that’s Niagara," Optimus replied with fright in his voice.

"She looks so shy."

"Don’t be fooled by her outward appearance. She may seem shy on da outside, but on da inside, it’s a war between herself an’ others," Rattrap added.

"That is just bogus!"

"Fine, see fer yerself…"

Wildfire slowly walked over to Niagara. "Excuse me, Niagara. I couldn’t help noticing how shy you were. Are you alright?"

"Get away from me, Horse Breath!" she cried. She then drew out her sword and pointed it at Wildfire.

"Now I see what you mean!" he confessed. Dinobot then tackled her to the ground.

"Get off me, you dumb lizard!" she shouted. Dinobot held his grip on her.

"Niagara, calm down! Listen to me! Do not let your Predacon side get the better of you! Concentrate on your calm, Maximal side!" Dinobot then looked at her struggling with the vengeful strength only a Predacon could have. "At least…if you have one," he mumbled under his breath.

She was the toughest Maximal now compared to him. She had just joined them a few weeks before, from the Predacons. Dinobot did not like her one bit. He had been her comrade as a Predacon and now he was her comrade as a Maximal. He really disliked the feline. In case you were wondering, Niagara is a saber-tooth cat, called Smilodon.

The second CR chamber opened to let out a very beautiful female robot. Her optics were blue and her face was silver. Her lips her a light blue along with her long, robotic hair. She had crystal clear wings—with tints of gold and silver—on her back. Her body was mostly blue, silver, and a little golden. Her weapons included sky blue optic lasers and a cyber-bow.

Dinobot looked up at her with his mouth agape. "She is so beautiful," he whispered.

"Then go get her!" Niagara said flipping him off. Optimus and Rhinox then restrained her.

"Sorry, she gets a little hyper," Optimus said to the female in front of him.

"Yeah, next time she’ll break da house down," Rattrap agreed.

"Isn’t it ‘she’ll bring the house down’?" Cheetor asked.

"I said what I said."

"Um, I’m Whitefire," the femme stated with a soothing voice.

"Simply an angel," Dinobot whispered again.

"‘Eh, it’s really none a’ my business, but…I think someone’s gotta crush on a certain someone named Whitefire," Rattrap smirked.

"Don’t you dare say a word about this to anyone!" Dinobot spat angrily.

"Yer secret’s safe wit’ me."

"That, I am not totally sure about."

Whitefire shakes the hands of her new comrades. "Greetings, Whitefire. I’m Optimus Primal," he said.

"Pleasure’s all mine. Hey, wait, I know you! You’re my big brother!" she cried and ran over to Wildfire and hugged him.

"Good to see you too," he replied weakly.

"Can we call you ‘Angel’?" Cheetor wondered. Whitefire smiled warmly at him for she knew why he wanted to call her that.

"Sure you can. Many people think I’m a living angel sent to protect everyone. My nickname on Cybertron was Angel, so sure, call me Angel if you like," she replied smiling.

"Cool! So…what’s your beast mode?"

"It’s a mix between a Pegasus and a unicorn."

"How about your brother?"

"He’s a…Hey, Fire, what’s your beast mode?"

"I’m a wild mustang," he replied.

"He’s a wild mustang."

"Cool! So do you have any other neat things to—" He looked at her. "Something wrong?"

"It’s just…Wildfire, you hear that?" she said.

"Yes, I do. Um…we have to go see something. We should be back in a few cycles."

The two then switched to beast mode and rode the lift down to the ground.

* * *

"You called us?" Wildfire asked narrowing his eyes. A black Pegasus and blood red Pegasus stepped out.

"We did," replied Darkfire.

"Why?" Angel (Whitefire) asked.

"Because, our leader has asked that we…introduce you to him," added Blackfire.

In the stillness of the night, a pair of eyes were watching. They belonged to Megatron as he watched the four horses bicker.

"What are those two doing?" he wondered.

The only person he could really see clearly, was Whitefire. Because of her crystal, white, silver body and blue eyes, she was the easiest to spot. Wildfire could pass as second because of his yellow body. Darkfire would come in third and Blackfire in fourth.

"So, the triplets are back again," Wildfire smirked.

"Yes, along with the older brother," Blackfire agreed.

"Better to be me, than you."

"Are you accusing us for joining the Predacons?"

"It is not our fault that our parents raised us the way we are!" Darkfire interrupted.

"Father raised demons which are you! Mother raised angels which are us!" Blackfire inclined rudely.

"You want to finish it? Go ahead, kill us!" Angel protested.

Megatron watched on in astonishment as they bickered over "foolish things" as he called them.

"Perhaps it is time for me to make my debut," he said. "Or at least to…help them settle this argument."

He then walked out with his tail gun glowing. "Megatron?!" Blackfire and Darkfire cried in unison.

"Surprised to me? I knew you couldn’t pull off this mission, so I followed you," he replied grinning evilly.

He walked over to Whitefire and Wildfire. "Ah, and these two must be your brother and sister," he smirked.

"They are," Blackfire agreed. "Please tell me, why are you here?"

"As I said before, I was predicting you two to betray me, doublecross me, or at least trick me into believing that you could handle such a mission. I was quite right."

"Huh? We weren’t betraying you or doublecrossing you! We were fulfilling our ambition as a team, Einstein!" Darkfire shouted. "Aye, what an idiot!" she said again slapping her head with her hand.

Megatron, after this, powered his tail gun. "What did you call me, my dear?"

"An idiot! I-D-I-O-T! IDIOT!!"

"That’s what I thought."

"Wait, you’re not going to kill these two?" Blackfire cut in.

"No, I want to see how they fare in the battle field first. If they pass the test, they get to keep their miserable lives."

"Thanks…I guess," Angel queried.

"You two are free to return to your Maximals, but next time, you may not be as lucky. Come, you two. We are going back to base and don’t you give me lip, Miss Fire!"

"Yes, sir," both Darkfire and Blackfire sighed in unison.

"I was talking to Darkfire!"

"Oh," Blackfire replied foolishly.

"Darkfire, we are going to have a nice loooong talk when we return to base," Megatron said with a sweet smile.

He’s kind of cute when he smiles, she thought. "Yes sir, I’ll be ready," she replied unhappily.

The three Predacons took off, leaving Whitefire and Wildfire. "Think we’ll ever seem ‘em again?" Angel wondered staring at the specks in the sky.

"I guarantee it. This war is far from over. For now, we must fight them and their comrades," Wildfire replied holding his head up high and standing on his hind legs.

The End!
