"First Season Finale: Part I"

[Wildfire94]

((Alright here goes nothing, first post with Megs coming right up! Hope it's alright.))

Though he had awoken quite some time ago from the earlier times of the morning Megatron had been busy with his usual planning yet he was faced with a problem: the aliens. They had been interfering a great deal not only with his Predacon pawns and his plans, but also the war against the Maximals which was growing quite irritating, which he was now having to discover how much more of a threat they really could be. Rubbing his chin a bit with his thumb and forefinger, Megatron decided to check on any cameras around the base, pressing a button to switch through different screens which he wasn't finding much of anything of interest but he was still suspicious of well a few underlings of his. Tarantulas was up to something and Megatron was becoming well aware that the spider knew more then he was telling, plus the widow was more then likely planning her own agenda.

But one of the outside cameras caught his attention briefly of the new recruit, the stallion Onyx. He seemed a committed and loyal fellow, maybe another easy little soldier he could manipulate but he'd have to wait and see. Where the horse was heading off to he didn't know but Megatron would make sure to ask about this later. Right now his main targets were the aliens and the Maximals. With this back in his mind the tyrant stood from his chair and came to the door of his quarters which slid open with a low hiss then shut behind him as he headed to the main bridge, summoning a hover board and stepping onto it moving towards his usual chair but took note of Steelclaw being there for monitor duty.

"Steelclaw, have you detected anything?"He asked sharply.

============================

Meanwhile Onyx was continuing his gallop towards the crashed Maximal ship but was keeping a look out for any that might be in the area, not really thinking any fliers might be close by. But he also knew better then to underestimate them again, the rat and frilled lizard had given him a good fight without really much force needed, in fact battling wasn't always about brute force anyway. He wondered just might happen if he did get there and if any of the Maximals would be willing to hear reason. Would they even hear what he had to say after last time? How could he explain this if the other Predacons were following? Well whatever would occur he was already nearly there, having come into their territory some time ago, now was the fact of actually getting there with out difficulty.

[New Moon]

As Feralnight was idly flying a movement below made her stop, flapping her wings to hover in place and focused in on a moving creature. This creature was a stallion it seemed and what didn't help was it was giving off a Predacon signal, more then likely the same one Rattrap and Frilla had fought a few days before. But why would he be going alone right towards the Maximal base alone? A bit suspicious about this Feralnight decided to follow from the sky, keeping high enough to be out of range and to avoid being seen or her shadow accidently giving away her position but she wasn't about to let this go unreported, "Feralnight to Axalon, we have a Predacon enroute towards the ship." She said over the com-link.

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

Though Frilla was distracted with the schematics of a new shield the sound of the lift made her turn, though she was too late to see anyone and strangely she had not even heard anyone come in. Shrugging she decided it might be nothing and turned back to the monitor and typed up something to eject the disk after she had finished playing around with designs, right now nothing was coming to mind and she would more then likely have to draw it out before she was satisfied. Of course then came the report they had more then likely not wanted, a Predacon coming in towards base...wait a Predacon? Why was there only one, there never was just one without another waiting in cover to attack while they were distracted. "Roger that Feral, keep watching this Predacon and keep your eyes peeled for others." She replied back getting a 'Got it' in return before the frilled lizard took the disk and put it in a subspace.

"Computer pull up area scanners." She ordered and the screen changed to show the local area near the base. But it didn't seem the Predacon was quite in range yet, not at first before Onyx's signal popped up at last. "Him again? Now what?" She said aloud and frowned a bit in wonder.

[Alak]

"How are you today?"

Orcariner looked down and waved his large hand as Wintersong greeted him. Despite being so much smaller than him, the feline Maximal actually had one of the planet's most deadly creatures as her beast mode. With a vertical leap that was capable of her landing on his shoulders, Orcariner chuckled on the inside at the potential underdog card she carried in battle against the larger Predacons.

"I'm doing well," he replied, "Just had a nice swim and the wall climb was a great workout."

It was fortunate for him to have rubbery skin for his beast mode. Water quickly escaped towards the ground. Orcariner was sure that the others would not appreciate someone leaving giant, wet foot prints all over the hanger bay.

"I'm about to head back to my corner in the ship," he continued, "Monitor duty can be boring sometimes, but it's a must or else we'll never be fully aware of what's happening around us in this world."

(ooc: *Mutters something about the droid crashing while attempting to post* Note to self (again): If writing more than a few sentences, do it on the computer!)

Aurora was lost in thought as she made her way down the corridor to the communication room of the Axalon. Her botanical experiment was going well so far, having produced some rather surprising results involving the harsh conditions plants on this world were able to flourish as well as certain biological properties said plants appeared to possess. At least this process had given her something else to worry about, besides the damages left behind by the attack on their base a little while back. For the most part everyone had healed up from that, even Whitegrazer who had spent several days in the CR chamber before emerging. But it had been a eerie few days nevertheless.

The fuzor stopped in front of a large computer screen and had just sat down when Feralnight's, the other Maximal fuzor, report of a single Predacon heading their way came in.

Another one?

Aurora did not share the confidence of certain other Maximals, who thought a single Predacon would not attack them by themselves. Sure enough, most of them would have the common sense not to do such a thing, but on rare occasions they did encounter Predacons who were willing to go through great lengths to achieve their goals. Whatever those goals may be. At least the last time they had such an encounter, the attacker ended up subdued in their brig. The fuzor had never met the attacker and only briefly caught a glimpse of her as she was being carried inside by the Maximal whale, but after seeing the destruction left behind she had no desire to speak to her at this point anyway.

And here another lone Predacon had been spotted heading their way.. Aurora was not ready to pass judgement just yet, however, since there was always a chance this one could have a different agenda than the last one did. Hopefully that was the case. She wanted to believe the Predacons were not that different from the Maximals, that they were not all deceitful murderers.

Putting that thought aside for a moment, she proceeded to type a few words into the computer in front of her. Within moments the screen showed the security camera's view of the lab, now dormant with most of the lights shut off. Aurora tilted her head and accessed the thermal regulation of the lab, adjusting the temperature to change on certain intervals accordingly. With any luck she would see some changes by the time she got back..

The young female locked in the new settings and closed out as she got up and started heading for the lift. Some fresh air would do her wonders..

Meanwhile Nemesis remained in her confinement, silently pondering her situation. Her feathers ruffled, trying to keep warm despite the cold temperatures they kept in her cell, but after so long the temperatures did not phase her as much as it initially did. It was not cold enough to freeze her solid, merely to keep her nanotechnology subdued. After Optimus Primal's visit, it had been very quiet and nobody else had been to see her. It gave her a lot of time to contemplate, for better and for worse. The Predacon hawk had no idea what thoughts Primal had about eventually letting her go and merely assumed he had decided to keep her there. It was a frightening thought, albeit she had no intention of spending the rest of her days locked up. For now she was merely waiting.. hoping the opportunity she needed would come.

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

(( OOC: All right, Blackrosefencer, I'll hold on to Rattrap. You make a valid point with his history with the other Maximals. Thought I would offer up the gig anyway.

Great post with Megatron, Wildfire! You're doing fine. I can't thank you enough for taking him. Also, I'm very much liking the idea of Onyx paying a nice visit to the Maximals. Should be interesting.

FYI, guys: This will likely be my last post until Sunday. Sorry for the delay. Will be at Slagacon in Indiana; small, one-day convention. ))

"I guess I can safely enter then?"

Optimus blinked when he heard Whitegrazer at his door, followed by her voice through their transmission. That was quick. She had already been on her way? He wondered why. As proper etiquette, although it was nearly second nature to him, Primal immediately stood up from his chair as she entered his quarters and walked around his desk to greet her, returning the warm smile she was giving him.

"Since we both want to talk to each other at the same time, the question is who should go first?" "You want to?"

The leader gave a light chuckle, pondering what it was she wished to share with him in sync. Although it was custom to allow ladies first, he felt he needed to address his thoughts before any interruptions might occur from anyone else. And in case what she had to say would discourage him afterwards. It was time to confront her. "If you don't mind," Optimus smiled, standing before her and looking up into her optics. "I don't think it's any secret that I have shown interest in you, Whitegrazer," he said without stammering. He didn't really have a reason to be nervous anyway, so he just followed the guidance of his spark and spoke softly the words in his mind. "And correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I've been receiving the same signals from you. If you're comfortable with it, I would like to pursue a relationship with you. I know the risks that are involved, and I'm certain you do too, so if you think it's a bad idea, I'll understand. But I wanted you to know the feelings I have for you that I can no longer avoid or ignore." If she turned him down, it wouldn't hurt him. At least now he had gotten it off his chest. The dangers could be assumed, but should their feelings for one another be controlled by them? Besides, he had almost lost the white mare without those emotions even being involved and the Predacons completetely unaware of it; it was a simple temper tantrum that had been made by Nemesis. The risks were there with or without a relationship, although it might make Whitegrazer a bigger target. Whitegrazer, who was kind and intelligent, and could certainly hold her own with her hand-to-hand combat.

Yawning and stretching, the rat finally awoke and scratched one of his ears with a hind foot. Morning already? And another boring day, no doubt. Maximizing to his robot mode, Rattrap exited his quarters and made his way down the corridors to the command center to see if anything was happening, or to chit-chat with anyone else who was awake. He found Aurora and Frilla there.

"Feralnight to Axalon, we have a Predacon enroute towards the ship."

"Roger that Feral, keep watching this Predacon and keep your eyes peeled for others." "Computer pull up area scanners." "Him again? Now what?"

"What's, uh, what's goin' on, ladies?" asked Rattrap as he glanced from the frilled lizard and Fuzor, who was just about to leave the ship, to the monitors and scanners. A Predacon was heading their way? Now what? "Are these Preds goin' door-ta-door lookin' for their missing black bird?" he snickered. Where was everyone else? Almost all of them were M.I.A. He was the last one to get up again? Actually, where had that personality-disordered spider get off to? Wasn't someone supposed to watch her all the time? He didn't like that she could be wandering the base where- and whenever she liked, even if she was unarmed.

[New Moon]

Frilla turned in her chair as she heard Aurora come in and she seemed to be right at home with the Maximals in no time it seemed, "Watch yourself out there Aurora we have a Predacon on sight." She assumed the new fuzor was aware but she still would keep an eye on the Predacon just in case he had hostile intent towards them, though what he was up to was unknown at the time. "Hey sleepy head and at this moment just one Predacon, same one we encountered a few days ago too Rattrap. Seems Whitegrazer's counter part has something on his mind, he's heading right for our base alone." She said looking towards the rat as he entered but she gave an amuse smile at his little joke, sometimes he was a bit funny.

Well sometimes. "Could be that actually, though I highly doubt he knows much about Nemesis if at all. Maybe some ink to the optics will help if he tries anything, worked last time." She said looking back at the monitor.

[Night-Hunter]

Inferno snapped to attention when Megatron arrived at the main bridge, he was pleased to see that his queen looked well rested. He had ignored what ever the bear was muttering about before the royalty arrived.

"Steelclaw, have you detected anything?"

Inferno narrowed his optics but remained where he was, he wouldn't abandon his post, not like the others would, they weren't loyal like he was. Like that bat Sonar, the pit only knows what that crazy PRedacon was up to, none of the other Predacons had seen him for three days. Several moments later his olfactory sensors picked some thing up and it seemed as if some thing had died after throwing up.

What in the name of the Royalty is that smell?! He thought with disgust.

Shortly after that thought crossed his mind, Sonar walked into the bridge, his fur matted, not to mention that most horrible stence coming off him.

* * *

Sonar ignore Inferno as he to the air and laned a several feet behind Megatron and went to one knee. "My lord, I humbly request an audience wit you."

The bat didn;t even notice that he stank to high heaven, three days in the Darksydes lab he had gotten use to his own stink and didn't even notice it when he left to speak to Megatron.

[Wintersong]

Flicking her tail Wintersong smiled a bit, "Well it's always good to relax before work." She said with a nod as they approached towards the hanger thought tilted her head a bit at the end of what Orcanier said,"If only we could see everything in the world it'd make things ten times easier. With the Predacons and the aliens this war just gets weirder and more dangerous as time goes on, I just hope it doesn't escalate to something too dangerous." Wintersong said, a bit of worry edged in her voice. Several things had already gone on as it was with losses of friends, more deadly or psychotic Predacons, the aliens starting to create double gangers, it was just getting chaotic and far too dangerous to be continuing another long war. However Megatron seemed bent on his goals and the Maximals had to meet the challenge at every turn.

Once coming into the hanger Wintersong looked once more at Orcanier,"Well I'll leave you to your duties Orcanier, see you later." She said with a final smile before trotting off towards the corridor that led inside. Already it sounded as if several of the others were up and about, which wasn't surprising considering the earlier hours had long past. Upon approaching the main bridge she heard a few voices and came to one of the two door ways but remained quiet for a moment as she heard about the Predacon approaching. But why would one come alone? Perhaps for the former Decepticon or to attack them again?

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

After a while Snow Trix finally gave in since nothing seemed to be happening and she coiled up her whip, putting it back at her side before she headed to the hanger but noticed some tracks, hoof prints. Probably the new Pred of the team going off for a run, though as usual Snow Trix wasn't too thrilled of new recruits since half of them had proved to be utterly insane and have some blind loyalty to the purple t-rex. Why anyone would follow Megatron was beyond her, since she only did it because she had nothing better else to do and going rogue just would be idiotic if one were to get in trouble. Shaking her head the fox femme headed inside towards the main control center and stepped onto a hover board nearby, already seeing Steelclaw and Megatron there yet she didn't speak up quite yet except come closer a bit interested to see if anything was found.

Of course a awful stench came to her attention and she covered her nose, turning to see Sonar and the smell seemed from him! Not to mention he looked horrible from being absent the last three days,"Geez Sonar where in the pit were you? Rattrap's garbage horde?" She said with disgust.

((OOC: Have fun in Slagcon, OOP Glad to see Megatron back in action. ))

Whitegrazer could see that some of Optimus' injuries hadn't been heal fully as he walked over to her. She hoped that they wouldn't be permanant and heal over time. Some did that. Stubborn battlefield wounds.

"If you don't mind," Optimus smiled, standing before her and looking up into her optics. "I don't think it's any secret that I have shown interest in you, Whitegrazer," he said without stammering. He didn't really have a reason to be nervous anyway, so he just followed the guidance of his spark and spoke softly the words in his mind. "And correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I've been receiving the same signals from you. If you're comfortable with it, I would like to pursue a relationship with you. I know the risks that are involved, and I'm certain you do too, so if you think it's a bad idea, I'll understand. But I wanted you to know the feelings I have for you that I can no longer avoid or ignore."

Whitegrazer kept her optics towards Optimus' bright red ones, listening to what he had to say. Just like Optimus let his spark guide his words, so did she, "I know if Megatron and others find out, they will love to use this against us. The risks are great. It's not like we aren't targets already, though. It will just be another reason to add to their list." She said truthfully. Really, Optimus already have a target painted on him for being the leader and a great example of who Maximals should be, not those Maximal Elders and their dark secrets. She took her mind away from that. She must be keeping Optimus in suspense for her answer, "But you are right. I have been feeling the same way about you that you feel towards me for awhile now and I'm willing to pursue despite the dangers." Or the visions she had been having depicting his... "Even though we are in the mist of a war, that we never saw coming or wanted, we should enjoy the wonders of life. Everyone has the right to. We should be able to live life to fullest. After all, we only have one life to live." She realized how phlisophical she was being right in front of Optimus, "I'm willing." She kept her warm, loving smile. She was glad like Optimus was about getting that off their chests. It was pretty funny how emotions like this felt so heavy on the spark. Mysterious yet wonderful it was to feel it released. She could feel Optimus' sudden relief too. But here comes the bigger one. Some part of her just didn't want to tell him, not because she didn't want to, but because they just had a nice, happy conversation for it to turn so grave so fast was so wrong but that was life with it's dark sense of humor. She stood there looking at him, enjoying this little moment between them. Her spark beating every second, reaching towards Optimus' spark with its warmth and contentment at being close. It was rare to be alone with the leader. There was always something happening. True, they were doing nothing but looking at each other. That just gave her time to soak up this moment of peace and time. For her, it was eternity and she loved it. Nothing wrong with her doing that as there was a time in her life when time itself was meaningless.

She needed to tell him for he deserved to know. At least, to tell him to watch his back.

"That was one of the things I came here to speak to you about and I'm glad we did." One of her optics twinkled in glee when she said that.

((OOC: I highlight Whitegrazer's talking segments so it would be easier for you to see, OOP. I hope the color isn't bad.))

[Phoenix]

(ooc: Enjoy your trip, OOP! You must have frequent flier points enough for a round trip around the globe by now.)

"Watch yourself out there Aurora we have a Predacon on sight."

Aurora had been so caught up in her own thoughts that she had barely registered the presence of the frilled lizard, so she looked almost startled when the other female spoke just as she was leaving for the lift.

"Oh hi, Frilla!, how are you doing?," the fuzor responded cheerfully. "Yeah, I heard the report. Don't worry, I'll be careful. I've just been cooped up inside for way too long."

She was just about to continue on her way to the lift when Rattrap showed up.

"What's, uh, what's goin' on, ladies?"

Aurora smiled and waved as Rattrap decided to join them. She rather liked the rodent Maximal, finding his free-spirited demeanor to be quite refreshing compared to the more stale approaches of a few of the other Maximal warriors.

"Are these Preds goin' door-ta-door lookin' for their missing black bird?""

"Perhaps.. But it's far more likely he's coming over to recover their garbage bin that you've been using as a bed," Aurora teased with a playful grin. She knew the rat was not one to take offense, which was a big part of the reason she enjoyed his company.

"Hey sleepy head and at this moment just one Predacon, same one we encountered a few days ago too Rattrap. Seems Whitegrazer's counter part has something on his mind, he's heading right for our base alone."

Onyx, wasn't it? Aurora had not met this Predacon before, but from what she'd been told he did not seem like the worst the Predacons had to offer. Hopefully he was not coming over to stir up trouble.

"Just about to take a step outside, actually. You're both free to join me if you like?"

[Wildfire94]

((Heh you can never keep Megatron down. Of course he looks different every time but no changing that now And yep Onyx is a bit more diplomatic in a sense, he won't use brute force right away.))

Not aware of his follower Onyx finally came closer to the Axalon, though at a distance since he was well aware that by now this ship was more then likely armed to defend against any signs of invasion or opposition from his faction. Getting a look at the ship for himself it surprised the stallion to see it was rather still in decent condition and had crashed in a good place for the Maximals, especially a far better environment then the arid, volcanic landscape the Darksyde resided. Looking around more he noticed the lift the more then likely led into the ship was going up, this led him to wonder if perhaps a patrol was getting ready to leave or if someone was coming out to confront him about him coming out there. Whatever the reason Onyx was sure to find out soon enough.

Seeing no immediate threat the black equine decided to wait there patiently, wanting to let the Maximals come to him first instead of risking charging right head long to the base and ending up in a misunderstanding. He was there to talk on peaceful terms as equals, not as enemies and wanting to this time avoid conflict if it could. The only reason Onyx had even done so before was to support his new team in combat where as here it was on their home turf and close to their base. Surely this time conflict could be avoided.

[NaitoKage]

( Heh, glad to see Megatron finally got a nice home. Been awhile and I only took up the mantle since nobody else really did at the time. Sorry I've been so busy lately. )

Heavy steps made their way down the hall of the Axalon leading to the bridge, He'd spent a portion of the night focusing on getting the bugs out of the strange gun he was working on for Whitegrazer. Icebreaker stopped glancing towards the others as he overheard the commotion. He'd heard about Onyx in the reports made yesterday. If he was anything like Whitegrazer besides a shared beast mode, then this warhorse might be something of concern.

Icebreaker walked towards the computer standing behind Frilla Frilla, have the bases defenses on standby and report to Optimus. Aurora, do a sensor sweep. Whenever there is one Predacon, there is bound to be others in the shadows. He said with a stern tone, it was obvious that Icebreaker seemed a little more tense then his usual happy friendly self. The situation at the base was bound to be dangerous, like a pred confrontation. Worse, with a loose cannon like Arachnitron running freely also had him worried.

Icebreaker looked towards the weapon he'd been working on earlier at his hip, he might end up having to test this "Hail driver" if the situation went badly. He drew his frost launcher from his other hip loading a magazine of Plasma missiles. He wasn't going to mess around.

He then walked towards the lift speaking up again I'll talk to him, Rattrap you can back me up if things get rough out there. Icebreaker then stepped into the lift, his visor and battle mask sliding into place with the shield on his back shifting to his left shoulder. He holstered his gun to his side, but kept his hand near it as the lift lowered.

Outside the base, his tactical visor kicked in displaying radar, thermal, and signature scans of the area. Other then Oynx, and Feralnight high in the distance, he couldn't detect anything, but that might just mean they had rather good cover..

He walked towards the horse transformer, stopping roughly 20 feet as he looked towards him. Though Oynx was called Whitegrazer's counterpart, he was shorter then her, but seemed more battle ready then the female horse.

You know,If your selling girl scout cookies.. I only like the chocolate mints ones.

( Haildriver specs: Sawed off Cryo field energy projecting, double barreled reenforced shotgun capable of firing one or two large freezing bolts of energy with the two triggers, well capable of freezing limbs of a target with a short to mid range. Firepower rating is based off the user's firepower rating since it runs off the user's energy supply, so in Whitegrazer's hands the firepower is a 3, a mild freeze. In Icebreaker's case, the shot is a 7.

Firepower rating on ice weapons is more or less the strength of the ice layer, and possible effects on armor from making it brittle or freezing internal components IE:Fuel lines, energy flow for capacitors resulting in slower movements, breaking seals, jamming or freezing joints, and so on. As the Hail driver is less complex then Icebreaker's Frost launcher, it doesn't have a variable control setting meaning it fires a max powered blast. Weakness of the weapon is firing it at extremely heated things, like plasma blasts which can cause a rather nasty explosion, excessive use can drain the user. )

__________________________

Glowstick awoke in the bridge of the Leviathan. He rubbed his face with a tentacle as he floated out of his seat, another long night. Repairing the base, integrating parts off the Starhopper into the Leviathan, and dealing with storing Visia's body which.. in Glowstick's twisted sense of humor had her in beast mode stored in what looked like a vodka bottle. He turned on the main monitor in the Leviathan, which displayed a computer generated image of Visia's face. Hmm..Time to wake up Visia..I believe I have a use for you, for now. One which might be of mutual benefit for you.

He folded his arms behind his head leaned back as he floated.

[starshadow]

((Ffffff...snake in bottle. Seen those before but what do people do with those?))

Visia's optics flashed in silver looked at her own body being stored in a bottle, "Doing the way humans do to store serpents?" of course she know about the humans, the little organic beings who helped the Autobots. She could remember the time she scared lots of people in the zoo centuries ago.

"Now what do you want?" she asked.

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

After Starshadow finished her short excercise she jumped on a hoverboard and headed to the bridge.

"HI STARSHADOW-SAMA!!" Cecaelia was catching up behind her.

"Hey Cecs.."

"Did you..."

"No.."

"Why not?"

"He's the one who ruined our chance of escape, the more I think about this, the more I think he's in the wrong.."

"...uhh...okay..I'm just glad you remembered.." Cecaelia moved on without her.

Starshadow reached to the bridged and suddenly held her nose, "Ugh! Did someone expelled gas(aka fart) or bathed him or her self with energon waste? I'll be happy to give that bot a bath!"

[Alak]

Orcariner waved as Whitegrazer left the hanger and entered the main body of the ship.

"See ya," he said.

Tapping random keys to bring his computers out of sleep mode, Orcariner leaned back in his chair. He was not given much a chance to relax before a blinking red rod caught his attention from the awakening screen. Sitting up, the orca looked at the blip.

"Computer, identify."

An irritable beep followed.

Unable to identify. Target is neither of Maximal nor Predacon origin.

Letting his face collapse in his palms, Orcariner sighed. It appeared that the aliens were once again here to cause problems. Getting back to his feet, the giant proceeded to walk towards the bridge and alert the crew, that is, assuming that they were not already aware of the anomaly themselves. The orca had been outdoors long enough and the signal was already detected when he powered up his monitors.

"You know," he said to himself, "For a guy who's only in-door job is monitor duty, it's really not a good thing to be the last person to find things out."

Something else caught his attention. An unknown Predacon signal was glaring on his personal scanners. Orcariner noticed that Icebreaker's signal was nearby and that the penguin provided himself as a barrier between the intruder and the Axalon.

"Wow, Orcariner," he continued, "You really are slow today."

Instead of continuing to the bridge, the titan turned his heel and proceeded towards the hanger bay exit. Unlike his encounter with Nemesis, Orcariner chose to draw his carbine early. Icebreaker and Rattrap had been giving him enough tips to the point where his aim was actually decent in close to mid-range combat now. Then again, all of his targets were trees or rocks, but the success in practice was still comforting to him. Punching the command console, Orcariner glared as natural light penetrated the large bay. He knew Icebreaker did not require reinforcements, but it was never a good idea to let a teammate go out on his or her own against a Predacon. Without saying a word, the orca exited the base.

[Wintersong]

Wintersong watched Icebreaker soon come in and he didn't seem like himself, which was a bit odd. Shaking her head the tigeress waited till the others were busy before she went to the lift that was already down and she leapt down to land on it below, her eyes looking towards the Predacon. It was the same guy from a few days ago but she hadn't met him face to face, having been busy with Starshadow then. Well he couldn't have come alone so the white tigeress moved off the lift and was prepared to back the penguin up and she took note that Orcanier was ready as well.
