"OC Episode #2"

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

"Feralnight to Tigatron, I am on the way to your location, do you read?"

"I read you," Tigatron whispered into his comm. link. He was relieved to know a friend was on the way but how long would it take her to reach him? His eyes caught movement just ahead of him. It looked like someone about his size, and black. Most likely a Predacon, and he doubted that it was alone.

"No kidding," "I just picked up two Pred signatures, and they're getting closer to Tigatron."

Slag! They were closer than Optimus anticipated. "Feralnight, Tigatron, there are two Predacons in your proximity," he told them through the Nomad's secured transmission.

Tigatron was not one to panic. He could smell the black one that was approaching him, but since he hadn't met all of the Predacons, he didn't recognize the scent. The other one was most likely a flier, but he didn't know where it was. To move, or not to move, was the question.

Suddenly, there was a loud crack next to Starshadow, like a tree branch snapping in half. But there appeared to be nothing there.

The tiger's ears darted at the sound, and his pupils enlarged. The tip of his tail twitched, ready to sprint.

"Optimus," "I think we should prepare a part of this hanger as a medical bay. Feralnight and Tigatron may find themselves in a confrontation before we arrive. Not that I doubt their victory, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to prepare for the worst."

"Agreed," said Primal when he glanced at Orcariner below. "Rattrap, Cheetor, help Orcariner with that," he ordered.

"You got it," Rattrap replied. He stood up from his seat and walked over to the ladder, sliding all the way down it on the handles and landing on the floor below. "What kinda medical supplies we got down here?" he asked the whale.

[New Moon]

Two Predacon? This wasn't good. "I'll try to get there as fast as I can, I shouldn't be too far away." Feralnight replied over the com-links then tried to go a bit faster, least as fast as her form would allow. There had to be a way to get the Predacons away from Tigatron but wasn't sure if a distraction would do much.

[Alak]

"You got it," Rattrap replied. He stood up from his seat and walked over to the ladder, sliding all the way down it on the handles and landing on the floor below. "What kinda medical supplies we got down here?" he asked the whale.

Orcariner stood up. Surprinsgly, he did not have to crouch inside the bay. He opened an armored panel on the wall and pressed the green button. A fairly large bed folded out of the wall near the towering Maximal. Another compartment opened up with emergency medical equipment.

"Let's see," he replied, "We have your usual pliers, wrenches, blowtorches, and tape. There's also a revival shock machine and a can of lubricant spray."

Terrorsaur was becoming impatient. The energon deposit was too large for him to pin point a small prey and the terrain did not help his situation. Giving up, the Predacon let loose a booming screech. The war cry should be loud enough for his foe to recognize his location and presence. Hopefully, the Maximal will make a move so that Terrorsaur could call out the position for Starshadow.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

(( OOC: Just FYI, guys, I'm back to work tomorrow, so you won't see me posting as often as I have been this whole past week when I had off. I'm not on-line until sometime after I get home in the evening. I'm surprised how slow today was too. And for the others who may be back to school or work as well, please try not to post more than twice a day; be patient. It's a lot for people to catch up with when they have time to get on-line and make their post. Thank you! ))

"I'll try to get there as fast as I can, I shouldn't be too far away."

Giving up, the Predacon let loose a booming screech. The war cry should be loud enough for his foe to recognize his location and presence.

After Feralnight's response, Terrorsaur's deafening screech that momentarily flattened the tiger's ears, and whether or not the panther was distracted by the noise near her, Tigatron let out a low growl and made a move. Quickly he jumped to his right, away from the black Predacon and toward Feralnight's direction. He leaped through the brush and sprinted out of the forested area. Heading to the rockier terrain, he may not be able to lose Terrorsaur but it might slow down the black cat. If the they followed him like fools, hopefully the white tiger could lead them right to his friend in the sky, and the Nomad. At least having Feral there would make it a fair fight. "Feralnight, I'm heading toward your direction," he called to her over his comm. link.

[starshadow]

Starshadow let out a growl as the tiger made his move. It is a maximal! she thought as she followed him. But where was the tiger heading to? She did not know until she saw a slight change to the terrain.
Trying to slow me down eh? That won't be easy... she thought with a smirk and leaped over the rocks, catching up to him. "Stop running away from me, maximal! I won't bite!"

[NaitoKage]

Glowstick turned his head back to the controls as he started to notice alot of unusual radio signals, from the known Maximal frequencies, he could hear Tigatron, apparently talking to Feralnight. But it appeared the Maximals finally found a new encryption, not that it'd last long.. He chuckled to himself slightly while analyzing the scrabbled sounds and the signal frequency. While he attempted to break the encryption, he noticed some changes in the pitches of the sounds on separate frequencies. From what I'm picking up, it's Tigatron and possibly Feralnight out there.. But I'm not sure where Feralnight is. There's also another signal.. alot stronger then the average Maximal signal, and heavily scrabbled. The rest of the enemy should be in range soon from my calculations.

Glowstick then thought for a moment. I'm heading in your direction.. I see, they weren't in the same area.. That blip Snowtrix saw was something else.. Then that means.. Snowtrix, tell me if there is a high speed blip moving towards the first Maximal, then give a estimated heading.

[Alak]

Starshadow let out a growl as the tiger made his move. It is a maximal! she thought as she followed him. But where was the tiger heading to? She did not know until she saw a slight change to the terrain.
Trying to slow me down eh? That won't be easy... she thought with a smirk and leaped over the rocks, catching up to him. "Stop running away from me, maximal! I won't bite!"

"But I will!" screamed Terrorsaur.

He quickly divebombed after Tigatron who was sprinting away. The Predacon knew he could not actually attack from his position, but at the very least he would pressure the wildcat into making a mistake. Hopefully, it would be one in which Starshadow could take advantage of.

[Blazemane]

Cheetor wordlessly got up from his chair, and climbed down the ladder, where he found Ocariner explaining what medical supplies were on the ship.

He would be glad to have things ready in case any one got hurt, but it seemed a little depressing that the Maximals were already thinking about that. Somehow, that early preparation made the situation a little more tense, as if someone was just on their way to the bed Ocariner had folded out. And for a moment, Cheetor became a little more aware of the shielded walls around him, feeling secure inside of them, and insecure about the idea of leaving them behind.

But the moment was small. No one was hurt yet, and he hardly wanted anything more than to get outside. Let the Preds come if they would.

[New Moon]

"Alright, I should be nearby." Feralnight replied in turn to Tigatron, hearing Terrorsaur's screech not exactly far. Not long after she spotted the Predacon divebombing for someone, gazing down to see Tigatron being pursued by a panther. "Seems I got here just with enough to help." She muttered before diving after Terrorsaur, "Hey you hairless chicken! Up here!" She called hoping to divert attention away from Tigatron.

[Wintersong]

"Working on it." Snow Trix said trying to get a better reading of the signals. So there was Tigatron and some Maximal called Feralnight, whoever that was. Finally the signal picked up again and she frowned, "There's no Maximal that strong...it must be some kind of transport. And if I'm correct it can't be that far behind the flier Glowstick." She reported.

[Alak]

"Alright, I should be nearby." Feralnight replied in turn to Tigatron, hearing Terrorsaur's screech not exactly far. Not long after she spotted the Predacon divebombing for someone, gazing down to see Tigatron being pursued by a panther. "Seems I got here just with enough to help." She muttered before diving after Terrorsaur, "Hey you hairless chicken! Up here!" She called hoping to divert attention away from Tigatron.

Turning his neck in surprise, the pterodactyl gawked at the new arrival and quickly spiraled to the right. His was still descending rather quickly in the midst of his divebomb attack, but Terrorsaur had a plan. He had much experience in the Beast Wars, and since he had never crossed paths with the fuzor, he knew he had more battles under his belt than she did. Racing towards the earth, Terrorsaur grinned with malice hoping that his foe would follow him to her termination.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

"Stop running away from me, maximal! I won't bite!"

"What's the matter, Predacon? Can't keep up?" Tigatron antagonized her without looking back. She was obviously younger than he was, and he used it to try and throw her off with emotion. An overly emotional and outraged Predacon was likely to slip and fall on its own.

"But I will!"

The white tiger ducked his head when the nasty 'dactyl divebombed him with his long, pointy beak. As agile as felines were, he didn't lose his footing as he leaped from one rock to another. However, he was beginning to grow tired. If Terrorsaur had done it one more time, Stripes might've reached up with a paw, claws extended, and tried grabbing his neck, pulling him down to the ground.

"Alright, I should be nearby."

Thank the Matrix, he thought, and spotted Feralnight in the sky, quickly approaching them.

"Hey you hairless chicken! Up here!"

That would keep him distracted and out of his fur. Now it was time to deal with the other Predacon. Landing on one of the larger boulders, Tigatron stopped and turned around to face the black panther. He took deep inhales to slow down his breathing and lightly waved his tail in anticipation.

"Let's see," "We have your usual pliers, wrenches, blowtorches, and tape. There's also a revival shock machine and a can of lubricant spray."

"That's it?" Rattrap said. "Doesn't seem like much. I mean, if anybody gets a paper cut, we can fix it in a jiffy. But if somebody's missin' some limbs or a head, we might have a problem 'ere." He glanced at Cheetor before looking back up at Orcariner.

[NaitoKage]

Icebreaker overheard the conversation in the Cargobay about the medical supplies, the supplies were more suited for repairing the Nomad then repairing any maximals. He then spoke up If your worried about putting a limb on, I can do it. Since search and rescue is my thing, I've started carrying a med kit again. I can put an arm on or stabilize a spark, but I can't promise you'll be able to use all your fingers if I have to attach it fast.

Icebreaker then narrowed his optics staring into the distance, he could see Tigatron running and leap up onto a boulder. He moved his hands to the throttle tapping the levers causing the ship to activate it's retro thrusters in short bursts to reduce it's speed as it started to come towards the area. He then heard some blip noises coming from the radar and glanced towards it Slag.. Hey guys, remember that transport we were telling you about?.. I think the Predacons brought it, and it's registering as maybe twice or three times it's size.. I can't get a visual on it yet though.


______________

Glowstick sighed hearing the answer, even worse then he was expecting. He unplugged himself from the radio and walked over to Frilla's seat, the maintenance computer. He leaned typing into it as suddenly a small screen appeared on the much larger view screen. Outside the craft, a parascopic camera extended from the top of the Leviathan's gun turret to a great height, Glowstick then tinkered with the keyboard adjusting the view of the camera in the direction the radar was showing. He zoomed in as a fuzzy image of a gigantic square vehicle was seen rushing across the landscape with two wings sticking out of the side. Monkey see,monkey do eh? I assumed they'd have reinforcements, but that is a bit much.. If a fireteam shows up out of that, it'll overwhelm StarShadow and Terrorsaur easily.. We'll have to slow them down.

Glowstick leaned up rubbing his chin with one of his limbs. We're probably already in range of their sensors, but the tree line seems to give us cover. However I think we should raise the altitude by a few meters, Steelclaw do you think you can strike the bridge or whatever propulsion system is used to keep that thing afloat? If we can get the gun past the tree line you should be able to zoom in and strike.

[Blazemane]

Steelclaw do you think you can strike the bridge or whatever propulsion system is used to keep that thing afloat? If we can get the gun past the tree line you should be able to zoom in and strike.

"I believe I could," Steelclaw replied simply as he brought the targeting grid back up. "The real question is which of those two possible areas on the ship would be better to strike. I'm not very good with ship anatomy, but that thing looks pretty well armored. Do you think a hit to the bridge would penetrate to its interior?"

[New Moon]

Growling Feralnight banked slightly right to keep Terrorsaur in her sights. 'What is this Predacon up to?' She thought but knew this little chase would have to end, and soon. "Feralnight, maximize!" Howling the fuzor transformed, still keeping in her flight after the pterodactyl even if it was only for two short minutes something had to be done and now to put this flier out of commission. Allowing her shoulder cannon to fold up from behind her shoulder Feralnight did her best to aim and opened fire on Terrorsaur, "Eat plasma predafreak." She growled.

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

Frilla glanced at Glowstick as he came over and turned her gaze to the monitor watching as he worked. It seemed the Maximals were not far behind with them in a vehicle department and would probably be formidable now since what Steelclaw said was true, the vehicle looked like it could take some heavy fire.
