The Intergalactic Highway

(Alrighty, updated lists. And don't feel too annoyed Worpex, we once had to wait 2 months for her to respond, then ended up saying screw it. Anyway, Land characters are probably easy to stick into the underground then fliers. Okay, post edited! )


As Rhinox awoke, he noticed a great weight on his back, he got up slowly then spoke up Rhinox.. Maximize! he transformed to his robot mode pushing the rocks off his body with ease, then looked around. the area was pitch black. Pulling out a device from his hip he ran his fingertips over it feeling for the switch, then turned it on as a rod like flashlight lit up the room. He looked up towards the Ceiling noticing the randomly intertwined rocks forming the ceiling, a few small pebbles seen dropping out from the rocks above. Oh no.. We need to get out of here now.. He then looked around the room.

__________________________

Icebreaker blinked looking towards his leg as he noticed Starshadow was hitching a ride. Though he couldn't blame her in this situation with the ground coming out from under her. He knew Optimus would be fine though, since Optimus could fly. The winch on Icebreaker's gun started to move slower as he came to the end of his grappling hook, hanging from a tree about 100 ft or so, his winch then started to go in reverse, lowering the two towards the ground. Icebreaker looked down towards her You know, it's not often I have girls clinging to my leg, but I'll have to ask you to not shoot me until we get to the ground, a fall from this height will knock us both out.. Not that we have time for that fight anyway.. Optimus's clone is back and half our allies are missing.

((OOC: Hey, NK. I think Wintersong isn't with Rhinox nor Orcariner. She should be on Glowstick's team.))

Rapid beeps softly sounded. That was warning of involuntary stasis lock, designed to wake the user from his slumber. The alarmed failed.

Reboot initiated.

Motors whirred and their pace quickened. More beeps followed, but not the same ones as before.

Loading core functions.

A twitch from his pincers. The tail quivered ever so slightly.

Loading user interface.

Scorponok's visor flickered as his primary display was being restored. Health, radar, radio, ammunition... all of these basic utilities were on screen once again. The Predacon's charcoal armor made him invisible in the night with only his glowing visor giving hint of his presence. The Predacon groaned as he pushed at the rocks that buried him. The weight was overpowering and the lieutenant did not have the patience to idly wait for someone to rescue him. Trying his best to force the left claw to open, Scorponok launched a mega missile from within the debris. The close range explosion was counter-productive to his health, but at least he was now able to escape from the rubble. Activating his thermal sights, Scorponok looked down and saw that his left pincer was now gone. A stub with a few loose and burnt wires was all that remained on that arm.

"A small sacrifice," he muttered.


----------


Orcariner pushed himself out of the earth and stones that acted as his potential tomb. A quiet rumble in the distance caught his attention.

An explosion?

He searched around but there was nothing but pitch black enveloping him. Seeking aid from his radar, Orcariner was dismayed to see that his scanners were limited underground. It was possible that he was trapped in a place with very dense walls, prevented his radio waves from traveling effectively. From that knowledge, the Maximal assumed that radio communication was no longer a viable option. Orcariner tried to play back the recent events that unfolded as he pried his legs out of the rocks.

I was standing on top of the transwarp signature. Then something happened and I fell.

The giant pondered how a fissure appeared out of nowhere. A naturally-occurring earthquake was a possibility, but it seemed too coincidental. Nevertheless, Orcariner had to worry about what was happening now. The theories can go with the debriefing.

I need light.

Unsheathing his energo swords, Orcariner immediately found himself facing a towering wall. Illuminated by the aquatic glow, this wall seemed to stretch at great lengths. The smooth surface indicated that this was not a natural formation. Not too far away, he noticed that there was an opening in this wall. Despite being tempted to enter, Orcariner knew he had to stay and ensure that all his comrades were accounted for. Wintersong was on his shoulders before, so there was the possibility that she may have fallen with him. Instead, another familiar face greeted him.

"Rhinox!"

Orcariner's joy was quickly replaced with concern as he saw that the senior officer was alarmed at the ceiling.


----------


Looking around him, Scorponok noticed that there were other bodies nearby. One of them belonged to Wintersong. The Predacon did not know how she landed near his location, but apparently the fall was rough enough to bounce everyone's bodies into random locations. Scorponok chose not to wake her and continued to the next body. Referring it as a body was a loose consideration, as it was actually in several pieces. Observing what remained of Glowstick, the scorpion noticed that his head was not far from where the body laid.

The squid actually threw himself into the fray this time? I suppose this is what happens when a medic tries to fight in the front lines. You body's a bit too squishy to handle this kind of punishment.

Grabbing the head, Scorponok tried to play around with the wires. He knew his anatomy well, but the limitations of one claw was difficult enough. Luckily, the Predacon's tail was sufficient at holding the head in place. While not properly fastened to the body, the Glowstick's head was now wired to his primary hardware. The remaining optic lens flickered.

"Welcome back, Glowstick," said Scorponok, "I trust you can pull yourself together now."

So most of her comrades were swallowed by the ground including most of the maximals. What could have caused the ground to collapse? And Optimus' clone came back? This mission is a total chaos.

Starshadow looked below and then to Icebreaker with a smirk. She pulled herself up to his shoulders.

"I guess we'll be hanging around for awhile..." she said as she traced circles on his chest with a smile on her face.

A low groan came from Wintersong as she came around shaking her head as she sat up. What has happened? One moment she was on Orcanier's shoulder and the next they fell into what seemed like and underground cave or tunnel of some sort. Her ear twitched then as she heard Scorponok's voice and looked around. Wintersong couldn't see a thing with it so dark. But she did make out a few shapes of others though her night vision wasn't all that good. "Beast mode."

When she was transformed Wintersong came to one body and found it to be Cheetor's though someone else as well but didn't know who."Cheetor are you alright?" She asked looking at her fellow cat in the dark paying no mind to the Predacons.

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

Snow Trix quickly ducked but a few shots caught her shoulder and the fox growled a bit. Okay this wasn't exactly as she had hoped for the fuzor to do though Snow Trix looked briefly around and stood. Perhaps this was pointless right now considering half of the Predacons and Maximals were sucked into the ground somewhere."Hold on mutt."She said looking at Feralnight,"As much as I hate you Maximals I think this fight should wait, something isn't right."

Waspinator underestinamted his speed as he dived bombed Valkyrie, instead of slamming into her he flew past her and headed for the forest floor. Letting out a high pitched shriek of fear, he instinctively curled up into a ball and braced for impact. He hit the ground with a loud and muffled thud, sending dirt every where. Groaning, he went to curl himself from his ball when the ground beneath him, he let out a warble of fear before the hold swallowed him up, leaving him in darkness.

* * *

Inferno groaned as he regained consciousness, he got to hands and knees and shook his head to clear his vision.

Optimus Primal with buuurrrnn for this! He thought with a growl.

His optics widened as he rememebered his soul duty to the Colony.

"The Royalty! I must find and protect my queen!"

He pushed himself out of the hole his made and took to the air and went looking for Megatron.

* * *

Sonar smirked as he hid from Saber in the higher brances of the tree he was hiding in.

"I really doubt you can do that." He said aloud, knowing it would get her attention.

"You have no idea what I can do!" She snarled trying to locate him.

"Oh, I know what you can do, but can you?"

Saber narrowed her optics as she located Sonar's postion, with a snarl she leaped at him, claws out. But she was blown out of the tree by one of Sonar's sonic blasts, he kept her pinned to the ground with his foot on her chest.

"You don't want to admit it, but you are just as blood thirsty as any Predacon." Sonar said calmly.

Saber shook her head, she wouldn't believe it, she wasn't like the Predacons. She growled showing her teeth and took a swipe at him, but he easily dodged it and jumped a few feet away.

He simply chuckled. "Oh really? After all you've done, after all those innocent lives you claimed with the aid of the beast, you really think your a great Maximal?"

That statement caused Saber to pause in her attack, Sonar's words brought painful truth, she wasn't a great Maximal, only a mindless monster who only killed without cause.

"Well, I have news for you, your spark is as black as mine and you're just as blood thirsty as any Predacon. Deep down you know it to be true."

Saber backed away from Sonar, her ears back with shame and her eyes filled with pain.

He-he's right. She thought with dread.

She turned tail and ran, she ran away from Sonar, away from the battle, she couldn't do this any more.

She let go a startled screech as the ground caved in beneath her feet, she dug her claws into the ground that wasn't caved in to keep herself from falling, she managed to claw her away onto firmer ground. She sat beside a tree and slumbed against it in defeat and shame.

Rhinox looked towards Orcariner and smiled It's good to see your safe, but we need to find everyone and get out of here. A ceiling like that is bound to collaspe at any time, and I don't believe even with our combine strength we would get through this much rock. Can you detect any others Orcariner? I'll see about find a exit..

Rhinox looked around the room, he noticed as well, the walls were smooth. They appeared to have fell into some sort of ruins. He then noticed a doorway covered by some rocks, walking towards it he starts to push the rocks out of the way finding a tunnel. Well, looks like I found a way out, the ceiling doesn't look like it'll break here, but it could fill in when this room does.

______________

Glowstick leaned up slowly, his teal optic shining. His body started to glow more illuminating the entire area in a cast of blue light. He started to run a internal diagnostic on his system, then his backpack opened as a few of his limbs started to move, a voice was suddenly heard from Scorponok's radio I'll manage. Our fliers went down fast, next thing I knew I was being hammered with firepower from all sides.. so I figured I'd weaken their forces by taking down Primal.. but.. I wonder if that was really him.. My Radiowaves can't peirce these rocks.. there must be heavy iron deposits. He then weakly stood up, one of his tentacles seen moving a flask from his backpack and pouring it into his beak on his chest, he then glanced up towards the ceiling Scorponok.. I've done some mining for a few months now in my free time.. whenever I see rock formations like this, it means this room is very unstable.. try not to fire off any missiles if you can.. you could cause it to collaspe. Though.. this room.. the walls are flat and uniform, square in dimension.. This isn't a natural room, and neither Tarantulus or I made it.. We're in a very dangerous area. Alien ruins type danger..

As Glowstick spoke, one of his tentacles removed his own head, another tentacle seen having a small camera on a wire extend from the end as others started running wire and using his laser to solder and shrink the wire together. Another limb then popped a hatch in his upper chest and crawled its way inside, seeming to come out the neck hole as he then lowered the head, a moment later the optic shined again, then tentacle then pulled out as he moved his head and neck, then started to speak up normally, though strangely not in his normal radio tone Ah.. There we go. It's a superficial extremity but I still like having a head. he let out a dark snicker, the broken half of his face revealing a smirking grin beneath it.

He turned his head looking towards Wintersong and Cheetor Maximals hm? Whatever.. I don't feel like bullying children. he then said, moving towards Scorponok Well, I guess I should do something about that arm.. I can't exactly equip you with a weapon as good as you had, but it'd be better if you had some sort of manipulator. Hrm..I've got some spare parts.. I could probably build a makeshift claw from a wrench.. though I also have part of a tentacle in that pile.. if you want I could equip that as a replacement.
______________________

Icebreaker leaned his head back a bit shyly as Starshadow traced circles on his chest Sounds interesting, but it seems like you like that idea more then you should.. he then responded, placing his left hand on her lower back as support as they came down. Rattrap would probably be freaking out at him in a moment like this, but at the moment there really was no benefit to either fighting. It also made him wonder why he was flirted with by the Predacon females so much, maybe it had something to do with his strong build? He'd probably never know, and that might be for the best. Fraternizing with the enemy would lead to a whole mess of trouble, as already seen with Saberfang and Sonar.

As they came to the bottom of the tree, his mask slid back as he spoke up Ground floor, ladies first. he smirked, then moved his arm from her back, his feet touching the ground, the cord cut and he holstered his weapon at his side.
____________________

Tarantulus watched as Cecaelia ran, it was a bizzare sight to behold. He then watched as Saberfang almost fell and managed to climb back towards the trees. He leaned low moving backwards and then around using the wild grass as cover, stalking silently to observe her as to why she was in a panic, and perhaps if the opportunity came up.. to strike.

Starshadow uncoiled her whip that was around Icebreaker's ankle and attached it to her back.

"So..what do we do now? Turn each other to scrap metal and ice cubes? Find the clone and kill him? Or be the rescue team to search our buddies? After that, we could have a nice time in my lair. How that sounds?" she said as she went closer to him, stroking his cheek. Usually, she never invite anyone to her lair but is it wrong to ask a maximal to chill out in a neutral territory where no one slags anyone?

Frilla began to stir finally after falling into the underground room, hearing a few voices but they didn't register for the time being. She felt a weight on her leg and looked to see a few rocks trapping her, "Just great." She sighed and grabbed her sword using it to push up the rocks and wiggled free before placing it on her back again. Though she looked over glad for the light seeing two of her teammates and it seemed three of her former teammates. "You look like slag Glowstick." She said as she came towards them but looked a the ceiling, just a look was enough to see it was unstable. "And as much as we may not like it but we may need to work together to get out of here."

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

Above ground Feralnight flapped her wings to avoid hitting the ground and glared at the fox but couldn't help seeing a point in her words. "I doubt your leader would agree to that unless he learned his lesson the last time he alien clone cleaned the field of you guys last time." She said before landing and folding her wings behind her back.

Orcariner checked his radar one more time. It was now straining to perform progressive scans, and the range was still limited. A few signatures appeared but just as quickly faded. Concentrating on the radar, he saw them momentarily appear again.

"Radar's not working well down here, but I am getting something nearby."

He raised one of his swords in front of him to light the way as he approached the rubble. Digging through it with caution, Orcariner soon found himself looking at the unconscious body belonging to Rattrap. Pity washed over the larger Maximal as he realized that the fall must have been especially challenging for his small teammate. Orcariner pulled him up into his arm while still holding the other out as a primary light source. This time, he chose to use his voice to draw everyone else's attention to him.

"This is Orcariner!" he shouted, "Maximals, I need a sitrep!"

The ceiling rumbled and the killer whale realized it probably was not the best idea to use his voice at such volumes. He began to move towards Rhinox with Rattrap still secured in his arm.


----------


Scorponok was repulsed by the idea of using a tentacle as a spare hand. He prided his sturdy body and needed a sturdy fist to complement it.

"I'll take the wrench," he muttered.

Actually, apart from his trivial reasons for not choosing the other option, Scorponok had no idea how to use a tentacle. It was quite an unorthodox limb, moreso than a pincer, and the effort needed to control it with precise direction would have been too much more the lieutenant. A dainty voice came from the mysterious atmosphere and Scorponok immediately turned in surprise.

New Moon wrote:"You look like slag Glowstick."
"And as much as we may not like it but we may need to work together to get out of here."

He began to stutter. The wee one who survived a double dose of his mega missiles had also survived the long, tumultuous fall.

"The traitor!" was the only thing Scorponok managed to say.

(( OOC: Sorry about that, Starshadow. Forgot to go back and double check that when I posted.

I apologize if I miss anything, guys. Running on fumes here, heh.

Hey, who ever said Rattrap was unconscious? I didn't. But I'll go along with it anyway. ))

In all the chaos, "Clear Convoy" took the opportunity to find a safe place away from everyone. He put himself out of every kind of radar, sonar and thermal range to assess his injuries.

-----

"Where'd he go, I'll tare him- Optimus watch out!!"

Looking over his shoulder at Saber-Fang when she spoke, he suddenly turned his head upward to see Sonar targeting him for a collision course. But before he could react, Saber jumped in and knocked the bat off of his course.

"You're going to have to try better then that, Saber-Fang."

"I'll tare you apart!"

"Saber-Fang!" he hollered after her, watching them tumble on the ground and then give chase in the trees. Again she was distracted by Sonar, him pulling her away from Optimus, which may have been what he wanted. He felt she was being blind-sided but she seldomly listened to him. Before he could do anything else, the ground began to violently shake right under his feet. What the...

Slag.. this situation is going up in smoke fast. Saber just ran, Starshadow is behind us, something took Orcariner, the alien is here.. and.... now the ground is giving out. I suggest we move, otherwise the situation is going to be worse.

Optimus agreed with Icebreaker. As the ground began to crumble, he ignited his prime jets and leaped into the air, hovering a few feet above where the ground once stood. This was a huge event, though. It seemed to effect everyone, and unfortunately not all of his Maximals had the ability of flight, so many of them were being sucked down into whatever laid beneath them. No! he thought, greatly worried about those who would be trapped with certain Predacons. And he had no idea where his clone was.

"Maximals, regroup!" Primal called over his comm. link to those who would be able to respond if they were still above ground. He'd need their help to keep the remaining Predacons at bay as well as the alien clone. He was still in a great of pain, but that was the least of his worries at the moment. He tried not to let it interfer with his duty at hand.

You know, it's not often I have girls clinging to my leg, but I'll have to ask you to not shoot me until we get to the ground, a fall from this height will knock us both out.. Not that we have time for that fight anyway.. Optimus's clone is back and half our allies are missing.

"I guess we'll be hanging around for awhile..."

Sounds interesting, but it seems like you like that idea more then you should.. Ground floor, ladies first.

Optimus flew over to Icebreaker and Starshadow when he noticed the penguin carefully lowering them to the ground. That was some quick thinking on Icebreaker's part. Primal landed by the two and put his sword away. It didn't seem to bother him that Starshadow was there despite how psychotic she acted every so often. The way this situation had completely gotten out of control for both Maximals and Predacons, he had a feeling they'd need to help each other in order to get out of this mess alive. However, there was still the matter of the transwarp device.

"Saber-Fang?!" the leader called for her after hearing a sonic blast in the trees. The forest was too dense in the area she ran off in to visually see her. He grew concerned when it got quiet.

-----

"We have to help Optimus and the others."

Watching Whitegrazer dart past him, Rattrap nodded, but as soon as he lifted a foot off of the ground to follow, he suddenly felt it give way beneath him. "Whitegrazer!" he yelled for her, but in the next second, he was gone.

His body limp, Rattrap was held in Orcariner's arm.

"This is Orcariner!" "Maximals, I need a sitrep!"

The whale's booming voice made the small Maximal stir a little. Groaning lightly, Rattrap's optics illuminated and he found himself looking up at his giant comrade, the light from his sword reflecting off his face and chest. "Orcariner?" he said in a weak voice. "What happened? Where are we?" By the smell of the dirt, rock and the pitch blackness, he assumed they were underground. How the heck was Orcariner, as big as he was, moving around underground? Wait. Where was the whale in reference to him when they were above ground? He didn't recall being near him at all in the battle. "Where's Frilla an' Whitegrazer?" he asked with worry.

-----

"Don't I look it?" "TIGATRON!!"

"AIRAZOR!" Tigatron cried out for her. Being in beast mode, he could not have grabbed her without using his claws and hurting her, so she slipped away right in front of him into the darkness below. "Nooo!" Why had the ground only taken her? Why didn't it extend under his feet as well? "Airazor!" he called down to her. Dust floated up in his face and wafted along the calm breeze. His green eyes frantically searched for her below but he could not see anyone. He heard Optimus's order but ignored it, waiting for any sign from the fallen falcon.

(So.. basically Clear Convoy ran off to a area like the cave or hid behind some boulders so he wouldn't be detected.)

Glowstick glanced towards Frilla while one of his limbs pulled out a rather large pipe wrench with a motor attached to the gearing. Look like slag hrm? So.. no real change at all. I heard battle scars make you seem more attractive to the opposite sex, but I suppose that doesn't work when you take a broadside from a small army. Oh well. Scorponok, don't shoot her, you'll cause the room to cave in.. and probably not kill her. She has the highest survivability out of anyone in this room.

He then walked towards the pile of rocks as he noticed something else, a leg and a large object sticking out. He pushed the rocks away revealing Blackarachnia, his single optic looking disappointed for a moment, then looked towards Orcariner's massive gun, and some pieces of Terrorsaur. Huh..a lot of weird things washed up down here.. Guess I can use the gun though.. he said to himself, he then started collecting some of the Terrorsaur parts while dissassembling the carbine.

He then spoke up while working As for helping you guys out, I dunno. I mean.. I can fly, and even with one arm Scorponok there is stronger then your entire group.. plus we both can function in this environment fine. Other then you, your pussycat friends there are kinda excess baggage..Though.. you guys did bring this big gun, so I guess we'll work together. Frilla, you see to Blackarachnia and Cheetor. I'll deal with Scorponok's arm and try to get Terrorsaur back online.. if I find enough pieces of him.. he said holding up Terrorsaur's chest/torso and a head. Though really, I'd just need these pieces to bring him back once we got to base. Worse comes to worse I guess I could just wire his torso up to my sword and let the battery from that keep him on life support for awhile..

Glowstick then walked over towards Scorponok, seeming to be holding some sort of large strange looking claw that looked rather heavy with a few exposed and shielded wires and components sticking off it, the wrench itself had been extended with plates grafted to it, with the collective pieces being nearly larger then the arm Scorponok lost. It's not much, but it should replace your old arm til we get you back to base. Should of brought my universal prosthetic kit..But I left that in the Leviathan. he promptly started to attach the arm to Scorponok.

_________________

Rhinox looked up towards the ceiling, then looked to Orcariner noticing Rattrap in his arms Rattrap..Well, it's good to see your alright. We don't know where the others are, just that the ground gave out and seems to have knocked us all around, like a vortex of rock, when it settled we came to in here, this area seems dangerous though, the roof could collaspe at any moment. We can't find any allies here.. but I did see a cave entrance at the top when we came here, perhaps that cave networks with this area.. they may be in other parts underground. So we should leave here and investigate. Between my flashlights and Orcariner's energo blade and echolocation, we should be able to navigate.
________________

Icebreaker blinked with wider optics as he leaned back slightly seeming to be nervous. I er.. uh.. Heh heh.. We'll see.. For now, violence towards each other is not the option. Our allies are in danger and we are in danger as well.So we should look for and stop that creature before anyone else gets hurt.

Icebreaker looked towards Optimus Hm.. she ran off after Sonar.. He then reached into his back pulling out a targeting sensor, similar to the one attached to his frost launcher. He walked over to Optimus, then handed the sensor to him Attach that to any of your guns or even your head, that thermal sensor should help you find Saber, as well as your clone. I would of given you this last time, but there was no time before so I just gave you my gun instead. As for Saber..Good luck. From what I understand of those two, she went to him because she felt there was no one else that could help her.. (It basically looks kinda like a camera or gun scope.)

Icebreaker turned and smiled warmly towards Starshadow Well I guess we should rally up our respective groups,I hope it wont be too difficult with Megatron..

(( OOC: LoL It's okay, Alak! Thank you. I thought it was a fine idea. ))

Luckily, Waspinator was a terrible shot and both of his attacks just barely breezed passed the mantis. His fellow bug apparently miss judged his speed and crash-landed soon after. Idiot, the mantis thought to himself. This bird was tough however, and it seems as though Manterror was the only predicon left still flying. He could fight... and likely lose horribly, or he could just join the battle on foot instead. His low courage getting the best of him, the Mantis decided to take the easier route. Turning away from the Maximal, he glided down to the surface below. Hopefully, he wouldn't be followed. It was unlikely that the Maximal would give up the aerial advantage in this fight just to track down one Predicon, but it was possible. Maximal's weren't the brightest of bots. Manterror would know, he used to be one.

Landing gently amongst the plants and trees, the first thing he noticed was the giant hole in the ground which seemingly was created from nothing. Surely there was a reasoning for its existence, but the best possible explanation that Manterror could come up with was Maximal trickery. They might be trying to throw the Predicons off guard with some new weapon. Perhaps it was best to keep hidden for the time being, just in case. "Beast Mode". Speaking the two words which changed him back into his oversized bug form, he soon finished his transformation and quickly skittered over to a tall patch of grass to lay low for the time being.

---



"uhh..." Airazor groaned. She had gotten lucky and none of the big rocks had landed on top of her during the fall. Instead, she lie in darkness with smaller rocks scattered around and on top of her. As she stirred from her spot, many of them fell away to break apart on the solid ground beneath her. "Maximize." She spoke, knowing that her Falcon mode would be of no use to her underground. With a struggle, her robotic parts changed places with its organic counterparts. Soon, she was back into robot mode and remembering why she had changed in the first place. The pain from her previous battle returned, but at least it was slightly less now than before.

Pushing herself off of the ground, Airazor looked around and saw... nothing. Her vision was filled with blackness. Only a few slivers of light came through tiny cracks in the stone prison which confined her. They were too small to be able to get enough vision from and get her bearings. Moving forwards slowly, she attempted to navigate through the darkness, but tripped on a rock in the process. While she kept her balance, she still cursed under her breath from the incident. It was no use.

"Maximals, I need a sitrep!"

Was that... "Orcariner!? Thank the Matrix!" She had begun to think that she was alone in down here, but it seemed as if others had gotten caught up in the hole as well. While she was sorry that they were all stuck underground, at least they were together. His voice was muffled, it sounded almost as if there was another wall of rocks in the way between her and him. "It's darker than the abyss down here! I can't see a thing!"

Starshadow just grinned at the look on Icebreaker's face. When Optimus arrived, her ears went back a little. As for the issue about Saber-Fang, it was a good thing that she was gone, out of her sight. Her gaze turned to Icebreaker when he spoke

"Bah! We could leave Megatron and his little toy soldiers behind..I never liked working with them, especially that aft kisser Scorponok...or that sick and disgusting flying rat. I would be happy if you maximals just destroy them, that way I can live my life in peace. About teaming up to defeat the clone, well...I could work with that but don't expect me to follow orders." she said as she crossed her arms.
