Moderators: Nurann, Starath, Sinead, Optimal Optimus Primal, Razor One
"I'm not sure. How-how did i get here?"
Rattrap was growing skeptical of the situation. Optimus was missing, and Saber-Fang, who didn't always speak kindly to the rat, not that he was a saint himself, had conveniently stumbled upon amnesia. He wanted to know what the heck happened out there. "Awwwe. Just like an innocent orphan in a B movie," he mocked her with fluttering optics as he watched her closely.We found you dumped infront of the command base hatch. Scrapped down.. and alone..
Saber sighed inwardly.We found you dumped infront of the command base hatch. Scrapped down.. and alone..
She ignored the urge to growl at Rattrap then remebered what Rhinox had said and it all came back to her."Awwwe. Just like an innocent orphan in a B movie,"
Exactly. Rattrap approached Saber-Fang, standing before her as confrontation so she couldn't ignore him. "Yeah, we were hopin' that maybe the innocent orphan baby could tell us what happened to Optimus," he said."Optimus.."
Saber lowered her gaze before saying. "Optimus was terminated. An alien probe has landed at standing stones. It admitted an energy burst during Optimus' transformation. He... vanished." Saber said her ears drooping slightly as she remembered it vividly."Yeah, we were hopin' that maybe the innocent orphan baby could tell us what happened to Optimus,"
"What?!" Skyfire said in shock. Even though she did believe that Saber wouldn't lie to them, she didn't want to believe that Optimus could be dead. But if he was, what would they do?"Optimus was terminated. An alien probe has landed at standing stones. It admitted an energy burst during Optimus' transformation. He... vanished."
Rattrap narrowed an optic at Saber; a hint of suspicion still lurked in his thoughts. Despite her explanation, he wasn't the least bit surprised. He warned everyone about that place, and now their fearless leader was gone. Perhaps not quite dead, but at least the Predacons didn't have their hands on him."Optimus was terminated. An alien probe has landed at standing stones. It admitted an energy burst during Optimus' transformation. He... vanished."
The demolition expert glanced at Skyfire; the one most likely to be shaken up by the news. He hoped Optimus wasn't "terminated," as lightly as the saber tooth kitty put it, because this group would be a difficult one to lead without him. Rattrap had to give the monkey props for his effort thus far on the planet. But now he might have made the biggest mistake by investigating that alien device."What?!"
Yeah, thought RT. Good question. He looked at Saber-Fang.Wait a minute, why was he transforming?
What a surprise, the rat sarcastically said in his head."Predicon attack."
Saber was shocked at Dinobot choosing Rattrap, they hated each other."We have no time for further analysis now!" "We must make another attempt to secure the probe from the Predaons." "Rattrap, come with me."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait, standby here!"
Yeah no kidding. Saber thought."Who died and made you Prime, scale face?"
Saber snarled baring her teeth she was going to disagree alright, Dinobot wasn't worthy of being leader and she would see to it herself that he wouldn't lead. But to her surprise Rattrap beat her to it."Optimus is certainly scrap. And I, as the most powerful of the group, shall replace him. Anyone who disagrees... may challenge me... now. Dinobot, maximize!"
Saber smirked at Rattraps sudden boldness."You've been messin' with the wrong mouse, Chopper face!"
Saber sighed rolling her eyes. "Of course. Well you guys have fun with that. I'll be in the corner... not voting."Wait! We're not predacons here.. We'll settle the chain of command in traditional maximal fashion.. by secret ballot
Skyfire was thankful that Rhinox had stepped in and got inbetween Dinobot and Rattrap before things got ugly. It's bad enough that Optimus might be gone, and they certainly didn't need the rat and the raptor killing each other. But as soon as Rhinox mentioned the secret Skyfire voiced a question she had.Wait! We're not predacons here.. We'll settle the chain of command in traditional maximal fashion.. by secret ballot
Skyfire couldn't really blame Saber for not wanting to vote. Because in her oppinion, she didn't think neither Dinobot or Rattrap could fill Optimus' position, which of course made her wish that Valkerie was there. Personaly she though Valkerie would be better choice to take the lead. But from the looks of it she going to have to choose between Dinobot and Rattrap. This is not going to end well..."Of course. Well you guys have fun with that. I'll be in the corner... not voting."
