"On my way." Prowl replied and picked up his pace.

--------------------
Mirage closed in on the location Red Alert had described. He could see the security officer up ahead and to the side. Over his communicator, he clicked onto Red's frequency. "Red Alert, I am behind you a quarter mile and to your right. I'll stay this distance in an arc to flank you."

Aero Blade caught the canister Jazz tossed to him and listened as he said where they were to head to. He didn't quite know where to go at first, but shortly he remembered Skyfall had mentioned a ship called the Omega Shuttle.

"Well I guess if I find Skyfall, I'll find the Omega shuttle," Aero decied outloud, starting off and heading outside. There wasn't anything personal he needed to grab, as he didn't have anything really with him. But he did wonder where Stratus had gotten to...

Armoury, Inside Fotress Maximus:

Dropshot and Stepper were throwing stuff at Artfire. Mostly ammo and energy clips for the up coming mission. But they had also found a couple of Ion cannons that were just big enough so they could carry and possibly provide some defence for wherever they were going.

As Stepper loaded one of the guns onto Artfire, he asked "So do you think this Skyfall guy has what it takes to bring this whole thing together or what?"

"Who knows? But he seems to one of the only bots around here willing to take a chance on anything these days. Besides, at we don't have to be around most of the other bots now. Most of them don't like us anyway." Artfire said as he grunted. " I think that's all I can carry."

Dropshot answered back. " Well, we never signed for this stuff to be popular in the first place. We do a job. It's one that I'd like to think that we're very good at. But it's also a job that doesn't have alot of perks. You two knew this when I picked you to be on my team and now someone else thinks that we're good enough to part of the Wreckers. Fine by me. As long as we get to take out some Decepticons, then we're happy, right?"

"Right." They both replied back.

"Good, Now I think that's all for now. According to Skyfall, we're going to "borrowing" the rest from the Decepticons. Let's head back to the Omega Shuttle." And with that, the three of them headed for the Exit and the Omega Shuttle. It was time to meet the rest of the Wreckers.

Skyfall arrived at the Omega Shuttle just as Countdown had finished loading the rest of his base into the hold, and his jaw dropped in amazement. Thank Primus for subspace I guess. That old Autobot seemed to know what he was doing when he built the thing. I just hope I don't grab the base when I reach for the Planet Crush.

Sixwing seemed content to wait outside, sitting crosslegged with the rifles across his lap, begining to disassemble and clean them, almost giggling to himself.

Skyfall entered the shuttle to see most of the energon Z equipment running and Starlight discussing it's properties with another minicon. Skyfall had seen him before, working with Aero Blade. Ark and Nemesis were somewhere else in the shuttle, either beating on eachother, repairing something or playing a video game. Skyfall didn't hear any sounds of fighting and Starlight didn't seemed worried - so he hoped it was one of the latter.

"Morning Starlight." Skyfall said with a smile.

The little minicon turned to him and seemed almost excited.

"We\I\we have been discussing ways of making a solid state Energon Shield. Don't think it can be applied to the Omega Shuttle, but perhaps a larger, non-moving base. It has almost sentinal potential."

She seemed excited and what she was talking about was interesting, perhaps they can work on it with the Ark. But, now he needed to ask them. They were free thinking beings, and Skyfall just couldn't order them on this team.

"Starlight, I'm forming a team to fight the Decepticons. I need all the help that I can get, and I'd like you to join. You guys would be a great asset to the team, with your technical experties."

Starlight tried to smile with her strange Minicon face: "Solar Cry would also be a big help. But I\We thank you for not thinking of us as just a weapon. Of course We\I will help, Skyfall couldn't maintain shuttle with out us. Plus, need to prevent Megatron from doing what he did to us to any more Minicons or other Transformers!"

Skyfall smiled "I don't think THAT Megatron is in this reality, but I apreciate your thoughts. Thank you for joining. We just need the rest of them to arrive."

Heading down into the main troop carrier Skyfall spotted Countdown.

"Countdown, glad you made it. Make yourself at home. It looks like almost everyone else is here. If you need to, there are refueling centres over there."

Skyfall walked out of cargobay and looked out. Jazz was almost at Omega, and he was riding pretty low to the ground, so he assumed that he was able to get some canisters of goo from Wheeljack. They'd also need to be put in the hold, as they had a mission first. He also noticed what looked like Aero Blade following Jazz. Just behind them came Dropshot, Stepper and a VERY heavily loaded Artfire. Good, more stuff for the hold. [I wonder how much in can hold..... We might need to stop by the Ark just to drop some stuff off....

"Hail Hail, the Gang's all here" Came the raspy voice of Sixwing, not even looking up from his partially reassembled Ion Rifle. "I wonder how many of them will survive he he he."

Skyfall just shook his head and waited for the others to actually arrive. This was going to be interesting.......

Aero Blade's earlier assumption seemed to have been right, as he found both Skyfall and the Omega shuttle at the same time. He went over towards him, still carrying the canister he'd recieved. "I heard you were getting ready to do a repair job, figured you could probably use and extra tech," Aero said as he went over to Skyfall, setting the cansiter down for a moment. "You haven't seen Stratus around either, have you? He took of some time ago. Not sure where he's gotten to now..."

Skyfall looked up at Aeroblade and smiled.

"Considering who we have on the team, I think a tech would be ALOT of help. But, we're heading out on a mission in short order. You're welcome to come along.

"As for Stratus - A minicon, about this high (holding his hand up) and hanging around with the only other minicons I've seen around here? Yeah, he's in the command deck. You'll have to call to him from the cargo hold, as the command deck is built for someone my size."

A Several robots Approch The great entrace to the fortress. The "Leader" of the bunch approched walked in side and through the halls. His autobot signature was brodcasted, turning off the alarms. Scattershot was the leader of the Technobots from cybertron and a part of the Wise Computron. He walked promptly through the halls of Fort max till he found Prowl. "I see you might be in need of Assistance."

Outside Fortress Maximus:

The other 4 Technobots (Afterburner, Nosecone, Strafe, and Lightspeed) Were waiting for there leader to return with good or bad news.

Medbay, Fort Max

Crosshairs nodded in acknowledgement to Prowl's instructions. "Of course, of course." He turned to Trailbreaker. "Good to be working with you again. I only wish it could be under better circumstances." He nodded to Windslice. "Who's that?"

Pinpointer, meanwhile, continued to watch Minerva opperate on Hound.

Forest, Outside Fort Max

Red Alert listened carefully to the sounds of the forest around him. Aside from the normal sounds of arboreal life, he heard the thrum of jet engines, the low hiss of mechanical breathing, and, far in the distance, the sound of something metal cutting through the treetops.

He chuckled as Mirage contacted him. "No need to transmit, Mirage. I can hear you just fine at this distance." He paused in thought for a moment. "Stay at that distance as we move deeper into the forest. I'll try to drive any enemies towards you, and you can take them out quietly."

He switched channels. "Raindance, Steeljaw, you two are better equiped and configured for searching this environment than I am. Drive any enemies you encounter in my direction. Mirage and I will deal with them while you continue scouring the forest."

Countdown heared Skyfall as he exited the cockpit of his base and said, "Okay, thanks Skyfall! I have all my needed equipment in the cargo hold of my base!"

Redhot also heard what was happeing outside and giggled, "this is going to be sweet!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stakeout came up with an idea and this time shouted to Prowl so he could be heared, "Hey Prowl, would be alright if we escort this human to the brig until you want to question him?"

Armory, Metroplex:


Roadbuster: -loaded up with all of the APEX ammo he could scrounge that would fit his assualt rifle, spare belts draped in an X pattern across his torso, all of the energy clips he could find for his laser rifle and linear blaster cannon, a bandoleer pouch full of grenades, and three full linked belts of ammo for his shoulder mounted shrapnel cannon loaded into his backpack hopper, turns on heel, strides out, heading for the Omega Shuttle- "I wonder what the little guy was able to scrape up......."

*************************
Approaching Denver Airport:


Nightbeat and Muzzle: -singing, slightly off key, along with Warren Zevon's "Things to do in Denver when you're dead" on the radio-

"That's alright, I'm fine just knowing where he is," Aero Blade responded to Skyfall, picking up the canister again. "He'll come find me whenever he's needs me or gets bored," Aero mused outloud, carrying the canister and setting it back down once it was secured in the cargo bay.

After that he returned outside to observe the other arriving transformers. He glanced at Sixwing for a moment, but tne turned away to look at others. That one guy seemed a bit creepy for an Autobot....

"I am no one you need to worry about, believe me" Windslice mumbled to Crosshairs as he stepped closer to Hound looking him over from a closer stand point.

~~

Raindance dipped downwards under the tree-line following the heat trail left behind by the fleeing Decepticon vulture. Steeljaw was moving quickly along the ground.

"I think I can see him. I am going to try and move up beside him" Raindance spoke as he was gaining on Buzzsaw.

Like the flash he always needs to be, Jazz roared along the slightly cut path up to the Omega shuttle. As the distance between his headlights and the ship closed, he slammed his hand brake, skidding his back tires violently out to the side. Just as his sleek automotive self began to tumble into the air from the inertia shift, Jazz transformed, rolling across the ground and catching the canister gracefully on one hand. He finished the last few yards to the spacecraft on foot, and grinned.

"We all here yet?" he inquired of Skyfall as he loaded the canister into the hold.

Crosshairs gave Windslice a strange look for a moment, then muttered, "If you say so..." The Targetmaster then shot Trailbreaker a sidelong glance, as if to ask why are you hanging around with this guy?

Red Alert recieved Raindance's update. He didn't reply, trusting that the cassette would do his job better if he wasn't being micromanaged. However, Red began walking slightly faster and he concentrated slightly more on the distant noises made by the three cassettes.

Outside Fort Max:

Afterburner: "How long does it take to report in." Afterburner tapped his foot on the ground impatiently. He was not one to be kept waiting.

Nosecone: "Afterburner you need to calm down, Scattershot said to wait here till we have clearance." Nose placed his hand on his brothers shoulder. As lightspeed turned around to them.

Lightspeed: "Nosecone is right, we were given orders. Once Scattershot returns we can go and join the action once again." He looked at Strafe who was sitting quitely on a boulder. He was huming to himself and seemed to be a bit nervous, there was a sense in the back of his mind that there was decepticons around. "Strafe? What is wrong?"

Strafe:"I dont know nosecone, I just have this feeling that something is not right. Like if we are not alone." He twitches his rifle against the rock in discomfort."

Lightspeed: "Strafe you always thing there is something behind everything."

Dropshot headed over to Skyfall as Stepper and Artfire drove up just behind him.

He looked around to see Jazz, a very heavly armed Roadbuster and few other bots that he had never met before. he nodded a hello to them and said to Skyfall " Sorry if we're late Skyfall. Artfire had a hell of a time carrying those ion cannons that we brought for the base."

He looked at the Omega Shuttle and chuckled a bit to himself. "Are you sure that all of this stuff will fit in there?"

Sixwing sat on the ground, ignoring the comments from Roadbuster. He finshed assembling the Ion rifle, giving it a quick rub down and then subspaced it over his shoulder. From his far side he brought up the tri-barreled missile launcher and began a quick check the action and magazine. Quietly the micromaster combiner laughed under his breath.

Skyfall looked around, his team was all present and it was time to get to work. He looked at Jazz and Artfire for a moment:

"Guys, if you can load that into the hold, we can get going. And yes Dropshot, He should be able to hold everything. The guy who built it equiped it with a subspace pocket in the hold. I'm just wondering if I'll be able to grab my battle axe, if I need it. Never had this much stuff in the hold before....."

Looking around to the collected group, Skyfall took a deep breath and raised his voice to that everyone could hear him.

"Team! We've been given our first mission, and it hits close to home. You may or may not know that one of our own, Hound, was captured by the Decepticons. They tortured him, brainwashed him and then REMOVED his memory chips. They left him a shell of his former self, unable to distiguish his friends from enemies. Optimus Prime has asked us to retrive ALL of these chips, undamaged, from the Human company that currently has them. We are also going to retrive what ever data and prototypes they have produced, so that the other Autobots can decern what the Decepticons are trying to do with Hounds Memory Chips.

"There will be Decepticon forces present, though we do not know how many. I am confidant though, that this team can handle what ever the Decepticons throw at us.

"Lets mount up. We'll discuss deployment along the way and as we do a recconisance flight. We have limited intel, and we'll have to do everything from High Orbit before we deploy for attack."

Skyfall opened the door to the troop compartment with a mental command and then walked in. Starlight, Ark, Nemesis and Stratus were in the command deck, but Skyfall began issuing orders:

"Seats and harnesses are here along the wall. I suggest locking in, I'm going to take Omega up fast. Each seat has a refueling port with Energon or Energon Z as the case may be, I suggest everyone refuel. Jazz, let me know when everyone is in, I need to Prep Omega for launch. Lets show the everyone why we ARE the best the Autobot forces have to offer!"

With that Skyfall climbed the ladder to the smaller command deck and entered the cockpit. The door slid closed behind him, and he looked at the Minicon Stratus.

"Your friend Aero Blade is down there. He's joined the team. I don't know what your partnership is, but if you want to join, I don't have a problem."

With out a word, Starlight, Ark and Nemesis took their positions and began to activate the Energon flows and began to bring the engines, anti-grav thrusters and offensive\Defensive systems online. Skyfall slumped into his chair and took a moment before giving the mental commands to bring the Omega shuttle to flight status.

I can't believe I just did that! Man, I even sounded like I knew what I was doing! God, we have no intel, no idea what Decepticons could be there - I would hate to run into Devistator or Leokaiser - and I sound like this is going to be a walk in the park. I'm scared half to death. I wonder if Dai Atlas ever felt like this......

((ooc: Actually, the minicon's name is Stratus ;) ))


Aero Blade was stunned for a moment listening to Skyfall. Hound had been captured? He'd never even heard. He hadn't even known that this group was going into a potential combat situation - he'd come on to work repairs - but now that he had heard what had happened to Hound, the first person that he'd ever considered as a friend here, there was nothing that'd pull him out of the mission now.

Now knowing what they were about to head off to do, Aero went into the troop compartment to get himself secured and ready for the mission.


On the command deck, Stratus nodded to Skyfall. "If Aero's decided that he wants to join up, then I'll be joining up as well," he told the micromaster. "I'm gonna go see how he's doing. Call me if you need me," Stratus said, taking off to go find his partner.
Locked
