Ruby’s see-through image stood before them, flickering slightly as the holo-imager adjusted. With a quick cycle of air through her cooling system she squared her shoulders and saluted. “Head of Maximal Security for Earthen Ambassador, Commander Ruby reporting.”  With her introduction completed she dropped the salute and relaxed her stance, holding her arms behind herself as she focused forward. “Incident began approximately 21:35 Central Earth Standard Time. I was currently on duty for a gathering that my charge had organized in celebration of one of her Earthen holidays when a hot surge of pain shot through my form.

The five of them faced down the dragon, but they all knew that victory was a long shot. Even with Dinobot’s added power they still struggled in their battle against the titan. Airazor and Waspinator had taken the fight to the air, striking Megatron from above, while Tigatron and Dinobot rushed around his legs to strike with tooth, claw, and laser shot. Rhinox held the line, as he always had, with both chainguns aiming for the torso. With his focus so intent he could catch the faint line of a massive scar that ran down Megatron’s torso. It looked as if the tyrant had done everything he could to fix the issue, but the faint mark rem

The metallic roar of an angry cat echoed around them right before Inferno vanished from her view. Airazor pulled herself out of the rubble, holding her left wing as she stumbled to her feet. Pieces of the Predacon were flying about, vanishing into flames, as she slowly made her way in the direction he had vanished to, his mad cackling finally dying away when the massive Transmetal tiger with white with silver stripped fur crushed his spark chamber in its powerful jaws. Airazor curled tightly around the glowing energy she held in her hands as she crashed into the water below. She had only had a few nano-clicks before the energy faded and she

“I am Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end.” Hearing Megatron ground out the words as he began to lay siege on the planet below, Ruby had to roll her optics. “Claiming to be Primus now, too? Really Meggsie, you think waaaay too much of yourself.” Megatron turned only slightly to glare down at her, frowning deeply at the ever defiant look that she had set upon her face. He focused back on the landscape before them, having the weaponry focus it fire on the mass of rocks that he had seen the fleeing Maximal fliers take cover behind. “I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come; and you will know my nam

“It describes exactly what Tigerhawk had done,” Rhinox said after a heavy silence that settled around the trio, his green and silver gently reflecting the light as he carefully set the piece back in Airazor’s hands. “It was not the best move, nor was it helpful at all to our cause, but it was the only move he could make.” “Waspinator not understand.” Looking up at his companion, the aged Maximal gave a tired sigh. “Tigerhawk, in the original battle with the Nemesis, sacrificed himself in an attempt to take down the ship. It didn’t even slow Megatron down.” Airazor had to close her

“Megatron has Squirrel-bot,” Waspinator gasped out. He held a hand up to his head as he stumbled back a few steps into a table that held spare parts from other drones they had collected. Rhinox and Airazor surged to their feet urgently, both looking at their companion and not speaking in case there was more he needed to say. The engineer was worried about friend falling apart with how badly he was shaking. Airazor walked over and began to soothingly rub her hand over Waspinator’s shoulder, which helped ease him. When he finally focused on Rhinox again, the pain in his optics nearly ripped out his friend’s spark. R

With the emergency meeting over with rather quickly, the Maximals began to prepare for the night watch. Depth Charge had been deployed to keep an active optic on their surrounding area; Cheetor and Silverbolt were to join him shortly. Ruby was still in the CR chamber, Rhinox having the device on her torso being the main focus of her repairs. Optimus and Rhinox had retreated to the laboratory to discuss possible options on how to retrieve the stolen spark, which left the others remaining in the command center. “It couldn’t have been him at the valley, could it?” Cheetor asked, his arms crossed over his chest as he leaned bac

Grunting, Depth Charge transformed into his robot mode and landed with a thud on the ground. He had searched the lake, which was glistening in a fiery gold of the setting sun, over twice already. He had already followed the coordinates that Ruby had supplied him as to where the stasis pod possibly had floated down stream. All of it turned up empty. It really peeved him off that she had sent him on a wild goose chase, but he also realized that she was the one trying to keep him out of it in the first place. That she had been hunting the illusive goose far longer than he had. Mentally kicking himself for being such a softy, he began to scan the

Why had he been given the slag assignment to do with the women? He could swear, in all of mega-solar cycles, Depth Charge had never heard femmes chatting so much about so many different topics.  Subjects had varied from tactical to scientific endeavors to relationships to gossiping about difficult assignments. More than once they had fallen into severe giggles when embarrassing topics came up, which made him feel really uncomfortable being there. Really, women were cruel at times. Not only that, but the two were able to stay focused on their tasks and manage to stay ahead of schedule. The femmes were relaxed around each other, almost like the

When she got caught moving more equipment in the middle of the night Black Arachnia had almost began to panic, that was until the figure stepped into the full moonlight. Ruby, in her robot mode, smiled down at the black widow spider that had frozen as soon as she stepped out from behind the small group of rocks, pressed her finger to her lips, signaling that they should remain quiet before she transformed into her own beast mode to help take part of the load. Black Arachnia’s eight eyes blinked slowly in confusion, but shrugged and continued on. The Maximal flying squirrel had yet to do anything to betray her trust, but she wasn’t
