Writer's Note: OK, Beast Wars belongs to Hasbro and Mainframe. Kacheetah, of course, belongs to me! This is my first fanfic, and took me awhile to finish. Enjoy!

It was a nice beautiful evening on the prehistoric world in which the Beast Wars took place. The Predacons had just retreated from a battle they had lost. Megatron thought for sure that this one would be a success, but became surprised at the result. Luckily, none of the Maximals were fatally injured, nor had anything else serious happened. Now, the Maximals were tired and bored. Rattrap was the only one who felt like taking a nap.

Cheetor was sitting at a computer console, and was about to play one of Rattrap's computer games, when he looked up at a computer screen. On the computer screen was what looked like a small shape falling from the sky. Cheetor then assumed it was a stasis pod and became excited.

"Hey, Bigbot, there's a falling stasis pod!" he exclaimed.

Optimus, who had been watching Rhinox install a new defense grid, immediately got up and walked over to Cheetor. "What's the location?" he asked.

"Coordinates 5213," Cheetor replied.

"Hmm, we can't let the Predacons get to it first. Megatron may create a plan to slow us down, but I don't care. Okay, Cheetor, you and Dinobot will come with me to get the pod."

"I'm your bot."

Optimus then called Dinobot to the command center.

"Hmm, there seems to be a falling stasis pod at coordinates 5213, yesss." Megatron had been looking at the Predacon computer screen and he too noticed the pod. "No doubt those Maximals are after it too."

He pressed the comlink button on the arm of his throne. "Terrorsaur, Waspinator, Inferno, report to the command center immediately. I have a special assignment for you three, yesss."

Inferno flew to the command center immediately, eager to do his task for his "queen". He was followed by Terrorsaur and Waspinator.

"Ooo, Wazzpinator like special assignment," Waspinator said.

"Yes, of course, Waspinator," Megatron said. "Now, you three are to fetch a stasis pod at coordinates 5213, and of course, reprogram it as a Predacon. There won't be any plans on attacking or slowing down the Maximals. They may be expecting us. Now go!"

Inferno bowed to Megatron. "As you command, my queen," he said. He then flew off with Terrorsaur and Waspinator.

"Oh, I wish he'll stop calling me that," Megatron said to himself.

"So, what's the situation?" Dinobot asked. He had just walked into the command center.

"A stasis pod is falling, and will most likely land in coordinates 5213," Optimus replied. "We must get to it before the Predacons do. I'll fly over head while you guys stay on ground for back-up. Now let's go! Prime jets, on!"

He flew out the roof hatch while Cheetor and Dinobot quickly went down the elevator. Unfortunately, the three Predacons were closer to the pod and were only about ten minutes away. Optimus was flying at full speed, hoping very much to get to the pod first. Cheetor and Dinobot were running at full speed and weren't very far behind Optimus. Minutes later, Optimus caught sight of the pod, but was very worried when he saw that the Predacons were there first! Without hesitation, he brought out his shoulder cannons and fired at the three Preds, being careful not to hit the pod. Terrorsaur and Inferno stood by the pod while Waspinator used his optic lazers to open the lid of the pod. The pod was a little damaged and the lid was busted shut. Terrorsaur then noticed the missiles flaming towards them.

"What the...?" he asked.

Inferno and Waspinator looked up. The missiles crashed and exploded all around them, making the three Preds trip and fall on each other. The pod, fortunately, didn't get touched.

"Itz Optimiz!" Waspinator exclaimed, pointing at the Maximal leader flying towards them.

"Heh, only Optimus? He'll never have a chance against the three of us!" Inferno said.

They all flew up at once, too stupid to leave someone to guard the pod. Cheetor and Dinobot came behind them, in robot-mode and ready for battle. Terrorsaur fired missiles from his shoulder cannons at Optimus and hit him twice. Optimus fell to the ground, but as he fell, he fired three missiles at Terrorsaur with his last ounce of energy before crash landing and becoming unconscious. Terrorsaur freaked out when he noticed the missiles coming and got hit by all three. He fell to the ground, smoke and mechfluid pouring from his chest. He was knocked out. Meanwhile, Dinobot was fighting Inferno while Cheetor was fighting Waspinator. Inferno fired his gun at Dinobot all the while laughing like the maniac he was. Dinobot jumped behind a rock for cover.

"You can't hide from me, Traitor!" Inferno yelled.

Cheetor noticed that Dinobot needed help and saw the opportunity to give Inferno a few good blasts. "Hey, Bugbrain! Try some of these!" he yelled. He fired four shots from his quasar gun, but Inferno noticed them and ducked.

"Ha! I'm too good for you, Maximal! Burrrn in the fires of Inferno!" He spread the flame from his flamethrower in Cheetor's direction. Dinobot saw that Inferno was distracted, so he charged at him with his battle roar, sword in one hand and rotillary blade in the other. When inferno turned his head, Dinobot was already inches away from him. He slammed his sword through Inferno's chest, twisting it and making sparks fly out. Inferno then pushed Dinobot off and slowly got up. He ripped the sword out of his chest, and was about to fly up in the air, but got knocked down from Waspinator's body, which was falling from the air from being shot five times by Cheetor. Both bodies lay unconscious on the ground.

Optimus slowly woke up and gained enough strength to get up and transform to beast-mode. he looked at the unconscious bodies that lay around him. "Nice job, guys," he said.

"Thanks, Bigbot!" Cheetor said.

All three walked up to the pod. The protoform was in good shape and already had a beast-mode, but was stuck in the pod. Cheetor took out some tools he had and used them to pry open the lid. The lid opened and all three stood back. A very elegant cheetah stepped out. Cheetor thought she looked very beautiful.

"Kacheetah, maximize!" she said. She transformed and looked very much like Cheetor, but had a more feminine face and body, and instead of being yellow and blue, she was yellow and pink.

"You…" she said, pointing at Optimus. "…you must be Optimus Primal."

"Yes, I am. How did you know?" he asked, since he was in beast-mode and never knew she could tell.

"No matter what disguise one can have, I can always tell who they are. I'm Kacheetah. It's a pleasure to see you again."

"Pleasure to see you too," Optimus said.

Kacheetah turned towards Cheetor. "Thanks for helping me get out of that pod. You're.."

"I'm Cheetor," Cheetor finished. He pointed towards Dinobot. "And this is Dinobot."

"You look pretty cute, Cheetor," Kacheetah said.

"Thanks. You're pretty cute too." He would have blushed if he could.

Dinobot became disgusted at this small moment of romance. "Bwah, by the Pit! *snarl* What's with you Maximals?! The more time I spend with you, the more I wonder how you all survive so long!"

"Excuse me, boy, what is you're problem?! There ain't nothin' wrong with thinkin' a guy's good lookin'!" Kacheetah yelled.

"Being in love and thinking ANYONE'S cute makes you weak and a bad fighter! There's no honor in it!"

"Yeah? Well, I don't give a crap about that honor slag!"

Dinobot growled loudly and charged towards Kacheetah with his sword, but was stopped by Optimus and blocked by Cheetor.

"Dinobot, stand down! Now, c'mon, let's head back to base," Optimus said.

Dinobot transformed and glared at Kacheetah. She transformed and glared back. She walked towards Cheetor, who transformed as well.

"Man, that guy's got some attitude problem," Kacheetah said to Cheetor.

"Believe me, he's always like that. He's never in a good mood." Cheetor was happy that Kacheetah was talking to him.

"Hey, thanks for blocking me from Dinojerk. Why did you protect me anyways?"

"Um..uh..you seem like a cool bot, and I just didn't want him to hurt you."

"Oh." She walked closer to him and gave him a lick on the cheek. Cheetor was surprised at this. He never knew anyone as great and beautiful as her would like him enough to give him a lick. He returned the gesture.

Later, they made it to the Axalon and all four transformed and went up the elevator. Rattrap and Rhinox were in the command center and both stared at the new Maximal.

"Rattrap, Rhinox, meet Kacheetah," Optimus said.

"Hello, Kacheetah," Rhinox said.

"Hi."

Rattrap noticed that Kacheetah and Cheetor were standing very close to each other. "Ooh, looks like Spots just found himself a girlfriend," he teased.

Cheetor never liked being teased and glared at Rattrap. "Shut up, Ratface! We're just friends!"

Dinobot had enough of this and walked to his quarters.

"Oh, really? Then why are you guys standing very close to each other, huh?"

"Rattrap, stop it!" Optimus ordered.

"Oh, of course, Fearless Leader," Rattrap said sarcastically.

Optimus sighed. "You'll get used to him," he said to Kacheetah. "Now, may I show you to your quarters?"

"Sure," Kacheetah said.

The two cat-bots transformed and Cheetor walked with Optimus and Kacheetah to her quarters. Her's was right across the hall from Cheetor's so that made them both happy.

"Goodnight, Kacheetah," Cheetor said.

"Goodnight, Cheetor."

They both went to their quarters for the night. Kacheetah had a feeling that Cheetor was going to be a really good friend, and they both would always look out for each other. She fell asleep.

"Where are those stooges?!" Megatron pressed the comlink button on the arm of his throne.

"Inferno!"

No response.

"Terrorsaur!"

No response.

"Waspinator!"

Waspinator woke up and immediately responded. "Meg..a..tron..Wazz..binator report... failure." He went to stasis lock.

The End
