"OC Episode #3"

[Night-Hunter]

Several shots were fired in Sonar's direction, one or two of them nicked his shoulders but he payed little mind as he drew near the spotted cat. Seconds before he with tackling distance, he unfurled his wings and raised his claw to strike.

* * *

Saber raised an eye brow at Dinobot's sudden burst of speed, the raptor had always been eager for battle. Growling slightly she to put on a brust of speed.

The preds won't even know what hot them. She thought with a smirk.

[starshadow]

The cat always land on her feet.
"Time to break that horse!" she pulled out her whip, running behind Whitegrazer and lashed her back.
"I would love to see you screaming in pain...SO SCREAM NOW!!" she lashed her harder and harder every second.

[NaitoKage]

( Hmm.. Considering Star's design is often inspired by S&M gear and she just went into "Call me the Queen" mode.. I really shouldn't draw that scene. *LOL*)


Megatron watched as he was held in an arm lock, she was surprisingly spry. He then observed as Frilla ran away with a slight frown but soon turned to a face of surprise at suddenly becoming freed by StarShadow, her movements and actions were always perplexing and continued to be so. He turned around as he then watched the smaller catgirl fight it out with the Maximal horse, with the sudden movement of Dinobot and Saberfang coming towards Optimus's aid detected in the background.

He started to run to the left side away from StarShadow and Whitegrazer, then made a sudden stop. Well StarShadow, I'll let you redeem yourself with that fighter girl... For now.. I have bigger fish to fry. Yesss.. '

He then pointed his T-rex head out firing off a few quick fusion blasts out towards in the distance at Dinobot and Saberfang, though considering the distance and Megatron was far from being a sniper with a Dinosaur head, the accuracy was likely less the perfect with stray shots simply blowing up the ground or catching grass on fire.

[Wintersong]

Snow Trix looked back at Glowstick, "I do but only if the wind can stay in our favor, which for now I could get a good scent or two if it keeps like this. Though if your going to fly my best suggestion is to stay low." She said looking down at the snow. "Beast mode." Transforming down to her fox form, almost completely hidden save for her movements Snow Trix leapt down into the snow, landing in some deep snow that hid her from sight. Raising her head and poking her nose out she took a few good sniffs and when a few moments went by she caught a faint scent. "I think I got one, perhaps one of those tigers but not sure fully." She said moving through the snow and found a place that was now covering from her side down. "Keep up if you can Glowstick, just try not to lose sight of me." Fluffing out her fur against the wind Snow Trix began to follow the scent she had picked up.

[Night-Hunter]

Saber's optics widened when when the grass several yards infront of her brust into flames, but that didn't stop her. In fact she continued to run towards it, the second she was within range he jumped over the flames. She narrowed her green eyes when she spotted Starshadow, baring her teeth she went into a brust of speed. Like the fire she waited until she was a few yards away before leaping into the air aiming straight for Starshadow.

[una]

(( LMAO!!))

Whitegrazer held the grimace as the whip lashed her back but she composed herself as she turned around and grabbed the whip as it touched her cheek, leaving a small black line.

Wrapping the whip around her arm, struggling with the cat, she started to speak, "You are consumed with emotions. Rage."

She noticed that Megatron was heading towards the others.

"You have no peace. I will teach you peace." Whitegrazer pulled the cat towards her by strength in her forearm, "Get over here!"

She was going to closed the distance so she could lead the cat into an open palm fist like what she did with Megatron earlier but suddenly, she saw a cat leap in the air towards the darker one.

[Alak]

((OOC: Sorry for the delay in posting, I didn't feel like going on my computer after work so I watched a movie instead. Before posting, let me mention something first and keep in mind that this is just food for thought and not a criticism. As you all know, we have the .:List of Active RPG Roles:. to refer to. It has the list of statistics and abilities for every character. It's also there to keep us in check so that we don't surpass our characters' limitations. For example, if anyone and I mean anyone engages Megatron, you should know that he has a 10 for strength, a 10 for endurance, a 9 for speed, a 10 for firepower, and a 10 for skill. I'll even admit right now that he could take Orcariner in melee combat and Steelclaw in firearms combat. The same goes for Optimus whose stats are just as awesome. He's fought 2 on 1 battles in the air and came out victorious before, and I'm sure the addition of Sonar isn't a problem for him. Whenever we engange another character in a fight, always refer to the stats and biographies to get an idea of how it would play out. With a limitation at 45, our OC's aren't exactly the most capable soldiers out on the field and we have our fair share of weaknesses.

Now, as for what Blazemane pointed out before, there has been instances where people take action and actually write the consequences of that action when it affects another character. I personally don't mind it as long as we know what lines not to cross. If one character decides to punch another character and its writer decides that the blow lands, then it's cool. If the writer decides to write out half the fight, then someone should probably say something. Singles attacks are ok with me, but I think we should refrain from chaining combos.))


"Ack!"

Terrorsaur had regarded Optimus' physical capabilities but in his fervent assault he had completely forgotten the Maximal's firepower. The direct shot to the gut sent a powerful shock throughout his systems and the flyer involuntarily let go. A second shot appeared from the distance and struck Terrorsaur before he could recover. The wound in his abdominal region was aggravated to the point where his body conceded to the law of physics and split apart at a transverse plane. He helplessly watched his legs flop like a rag doll towards the earth and his upper body followed suite.

"Looks like Terrorsaur is blasting off again!" his voice trailed.

Meanwhile, Scorponok watched in confusion as a fight broke out between Megatron and the transformed horse. He was sure that it was a Predacon since they were getting along so well, but now it appeared that something went wrong. Perhaps it was one of the Predacons' inability to properly reprogram her, but Scorponok was not exactly sure. He watched as Starshadow jumped into the fray but the scorpion's attention turned towards the sky as one of the flyers was blasted into two pieces. The transformer who looked like Sonar had a trajectory indicating that he was deviating from the aerial fight, leaving the evidently confused Waspinator along to confront the Maximal leader. Process of elimination would mean that it was Terrorsaur who was the first to fall.

"Umm... I suppose you all have this covered," Scorponok mumbled to whoever was listening, "I'm going on recovery duty."

Crawling back into the treeline, Scorponok made his way towards the direction of the aerial dogfight. He should be able to recover half of Terrorsaur by following the smoky trail of his jet pack, and with any luck he would find the other half. Give it a few more cycles and he'll find Waspinator on the ground, as well.


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


With ice in sight, Orcariner began his dive. His radar showed signs of continental formations roughly a kilometer to their 3 o'clock position but the map illustrated a gradient image in which land would soon end and pure ice would replace it. The glacial formations in this arctic circle were much thicker than he had imagined and it would seem that the killer whale would have to dive deeper into order to proceed forward. He still affirmed that this was the better decision since a walking stalwart such as he would have difficult time walking across the surface. Sooner or later, the ice will have to thin and that would be the time where he would regret taking such heavy steps on it.

"It's getting pretty dark," he said to himself.

Toggling different settings on his optics did not work, and it did not help that he had fewer visual modes than those such as the felines and Icebreaker. Orcariner sent a high frequency pitch into the dark and recognized that there was still a frozen wall in front of him.

"Got to keep diving."

Despite having a beast mode that helped him resist the cold, Orcariner was still able to recognize how cold it was down there. It was remarkable how much these animal forms augmented their anatomy. Continuing to sing a tune of echolocation, the orca finally found a series of natural tunnels that would lead him deeper into the arctic circle.

[starshadow]

((You should totally do it, NK!! Yesssssssss.... ))

Well StarShadow, I'll let you redeem yourself with that fighter girl... For now.. I have bigger fish to fry. Yesss..

"Yes Sir! and please bring it to me after you cook it. Thank you!"

Starshadow's optics widened as Whitegrazer pulled her whip. Of course the smartest thing to do in these kind of situations is to let go but the stubborn cat wasn't going to give up and pulled out her gun, firing it a few times at the horse. Suddenly, Saber came into the fighting scene and slamming her off her position.

She let out a cat-like hiss. "YOU AGAIN!!"

Everytime she goes on a mission, Saber was always there. It was driving her crazy when the same opponent always interferes with her battles.

"You wanna play? Fine, let's play CATFIGHT!" she fixed her fiery gaze on the speartooth, thinking of a good stategy to get rid of her.

[NaitoKage]

(Last one for the night but since it's hard to ignore.. And we know Megatron's stats, the arm lock thing is just part of martial arts, so even though she's weaker, she can still attempt to use movements and an enemy's own weight against them. Now then.. time to bring out She-hulk.. )

Megatron watched as Saberfang closed in towards StarShadow, extremely close to his position. He pointed his T-Rex head out then fired off a fusion blast into her side to knock Saberfang away from interfering. No Pussycat, if you're going to be pulling a stunt like that.. then you'll have to deal with Me.. Yesss.. He then let out a another laugh starting to move towards Saberfang.

_______________

Glowstick watched as Snowtrix moved, following behind her much faster then how he used to move before modifying his beast mode. He spoke up The winds are a little rough for flying, but I'll give it a shot.. maybe I can survey ahead from higher up.. he stated, then started to fly in the air, the wind suddenly throwing him like a small child's balloon in the breeze.GAH! he let out a sudden cry of horror as his feeder tentacles fired out latching onto a tree top, his fuel pump beating fiercely from the sudden scare, while Waspinator, Sonar, and Terrorsaur would have less problems in such conditions and might find it difficult...Glowstick had it far worse, his improvised flight in beastmode was more akin to a airship or blimp, using anti gravity and filling his body with air for rigidity, his only means to propel himself was his siphon which sometimes had trouble countering the power of rather strong gusts of wind.

He pulled himself in towards the tree clinging to it with his other arms, activating his comlink I'm fine..! just fine..! I think I can see ahead! Yes.. I don't see any tigers. he said trying to regain his composure, then climbed down the tree shakily as he went to the ground moving over to Snowtrix Flying.. yeah.. Bad idea. I can crawl along the ground fast enough..

_______________________

Icebreaker soon came upon the ice as well, but unlike Orcariner decided to go above it on the surface, mostly since he would of assumed that going under the ice would of been dark and his beast mode doesn't have alternate visual settings compared to his robot mode. He then continued running on the ice as he activated his radio Hey Tigatron, we're in the area. What is your situation?

______________

Detecting the sudden radio signal, Glowstick then widen his eyes looking around for a moment I just got a signal, possibly from the west.. Maximals updated their encryption.. I'll see what I can do about that.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

(( OOC:

Whenever we engange another character in a fight, always refer to the stats and biographies to get an idea of how it would play out.

That's a really good idea, Alak! Thanks.

at Frilla. Awe. She's just shy. ))

Just as Terrorsaur had let go of Optimus, his body literally falling apart into two and crashing on the ground, it was too late for him to avoid Waspinator's shots. Yes, of all Predacons, the wasp actually hammered the Maximal leader. Of course, he had help from his partner holding him there as long as he did, but Primal still didn't go down without a fight. Just before Waspinator's shots made contact wtih him, he fired off one of his missiles that was locked on to the bug. He also heard Nightmist's voice, and that's when everything went black.

Waspinator had hit Optimus directly in the chest with three shots at close range. The force, pain and heat were enough to knock him out. Fortunately, he wasn't that high in the air but the landing was still going to be ugly. Primal plummeted to the ground, a smoking trail from his heavily damaged chest following his limp body, rolling a few times across the grassy meadow. At least it was softer than dirt and rocks. He stopped on his chest fairly near Megatron who had just begun attacking his Maximals.

Red optics flickering back on-line, the Maximal leader groaned and coughed as he came to laying on the tall grass. Slagging... Predacons... he thought, irritated. Unaware of where he was, so close to his nemesis, the scathed and battered commander, colored in some green from grass stains, slowly pushed himself up to his knees with his arms, the wounds on his chest still smoking and clouding his vision. Getting to his feet, he suddenly growled at a sharp pain in his knee joint. He must have twisted his leg when he crashed or while he was rolling. Optimus waved a hand at his injuries to clear up the smoke that wafted up in front of his face, coughing from inhaling the aggravating odor. He couldn't believe that Waspinator took him down. He had been careless. Fool, he called himself. Internal diagnostics told him his flight was still functional. Lucky. Although he probably wouldn't be using it anytime soon because of the energon build up that was slowly creeping up on him.

(( OOC: Yeah, OP hasn't played with Megatron for a while, but since all of his Predacons are running away or falling from the sky like flies, maybe Megs won't be hanging around for much longer. Or, actually, since Saber's going to go all feral... Hm... ))

-----

"This has to be the place where the object fell."

The white tiger nodded in agreement, but it was difficult to see much because of the snow decreasing their visibility. And if the unknown object was under water, well, forget about finding it at all from where they stood. "Icebreaker and his team are on their way, but we better stay alert for any Predacons that might show up," Tigatron commented.

Hey Tigatron, we're in the area. What is your situation?

Well, speak of the devil! Or penguin. "Wintersong and I are on thin ice," the tiger said bluntly. "We had a bit of a slip but we are all right. We are just near the ledge where we think the large object has crashed through the ice."

[Night-Hunter]

((OOC: Lol. She-Hulk only appears if Saber loses control of her temper or has to protect herself at the last possible second. Knowing Saber she won't make it easy for yah to bring out the beast.))

"YOU AGAIN!!"

Saber couldn't help but smirk, aside from fighting, annoying Starshadow was her favorite past time.

"You wanna play? Fine, let's play CATFIGHT!"

"Gladly."

She went to attack Starshadow when a blast hit her from out of no where, knocking her onto her side.

No Pussycat, if you're going to be pulling a stunt like that.. then you'll have to deal with Me.. Yesss..

Saber quickly got to her feet when she heard Megatron's voice then his laugh, she felt the tips of her ears droop slightly as he walked toward her.

Oh boy. She thought, knowing that she wouldn't last long against the Predacon leader should it come down a fight which she had a feeling it would.

* * *

Waspinator giggled happily when his shots slammed into the Maxima leader, his happiness, how ever did not last very long as he had finally spotted the missle that Optimus had fired seconds before his own blasts hit the Maximal leader. His shoulders slumpped and just before the projectile him he had one thought.

Wazzzpinator wazzz right, Wazzpinator izzz going to get blown to scrap

The wasp plummeted to the ground and surpisingly enough he managed to stay in one piece as he slammed into the ground.

[starshadow]

Starshadow was about to attack but Megatron got her first.
"I'll take it from here...BEAST MODE!" with a snarl, she transformed in her panther mode and tackled her with the two large cats, rolling down a steep slope. After the rolling stopped, she was on top of Saber.
"Let's see if you can fight while you're blind," and with that, her unsheathed claw slashed across the eyes of the maximal cat.

[Wintersong]

Wintersong's ears went back again with the wind picking up, "This may be difficult to fly in for Feralnight and Icebreaker may have trouble with vision just as we do." She observed and looked at the cracked ice. "Just hope all three will get here safely." She said. Even if they got here the object would not be easy to get depending on how deep it had gone and how much ice would probably be in the way due to the glaciers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Snow Trix stopped and looked at Glowstick, never seeing him look this pathetic when flying. She almost felt sympathetic. "Well if you need to hitch a ride I'm about your only means of getting to our destination faster." She replied before perking up, "That means more Maximals and reinforcements." She growled and eyes narrowing.

[New Moon]

Frilla watched from a distance as the fight ensued, yet she remained watching two of her teammates go down and as two other Maximals joined the fray. Shaking her head she started to try and creep away, some tall grass moving as she did but heard someone crash nearby and raised on her hind legs to find Optimus crashed not far from Megatron and looking in bad shape. With a deep breathe she changed her course towards the fallen Maximal leader and when close enough her voice sounded, "Frilla Terrorize!" Hissing she transformed grabbing her Pellet Gun and switching it to the acid pellets, moving towards Optimus and aiming, "I wouldn't take another move Primal." She tried to growl but some fear and uncertainty showed from the frilled lizard.

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

Feralnight was hit by the gusts of wind, far stronger then she had hoped and was forced to fly a bit lower which proved no better and kept nearly causing her to crash. Growling she landed, folding in her wings and began to run along the ice catching up to Icebreaker. "Can't fly with this wind." She grumbled.

[una]

((You should totally do it, NK!! Yesssssssss.... ))

Well StarShadow, I'll let you redeem yourself with that fighter girl... For now.. I have bigger fish to fry. Yesss..

"Yes Sir! and please bring it to me after you cook it. Thank you!"

Starshadow's optics widened as Whitegrazer pulled her whip. Of course the smartest thing to do in these kind of situations is to let go but the stubborn cat wasn't going to give up and pulled out her gun, firing it a few times at the horse. Suddenly, Saber came into the fighting scene and slamming her off her position.

She let out a cat-like hiss. "YOU AGAIN!!"

Everytime she goes on a mission, Saber was always there. It was driving her crazy when the same opponent always interferes with her battles.

"You wanna play? Fine, let's play CATFIGHT!" she fixed her fiery gaze on the speartooth, thinking of a good stategy to get rid of her.

Whitegrazer seized a little as a couple of shots gazed her back as she ducked as best as she could to avoid major damage, the whip wrapped off her when the cats started fight. She wasn't going to interfere with the cats' fight.

"At least it will give me a moment to...

Megatron watched as Saberfang closed in towards StarShadow, extremely close to his position. He pointed his T-Rex head out then fired off a fusion blast into her side to knock Saberfang away from interfering. No Pussycat, if you're going to be pulling a stunt like that.. then you'll have to deal with Me.. Yesss.. He then let out a another laugh starting to move towards Saberfang.

"So much for that!"

Whitegrazer took out her pistol and a green laser fired at the ground in front of Megatron to halt his movements towards the cats.

"I don't think so, Megatron. You and I still have a battle to finish. Can't leave a woman hanging." Whitegrazer gave alittle smirk. The shots that Starshadow gave earlier did smoke a little on her back but she ignored the burning sensation. At least her front and arms were funcational, she needed those if she was going fight but she better make sure to keep her back covered so no one would exploit the injured area.

((OOC: Oh yeah! I should pull up that list when my character engages in battle with anyone.))
