Chapter 12-Climax and Reunion

"Roadmasters converge on me," was commanded by the Truckbot, as the 4 remaining titled Roadmasters approached the Truckbot, reconfiguring themselves into large limbs which attached to the Truckbot, while it to changed into a large torso and once they were finished the constructed mecha monotoned, "Street Caeser online," in a menacing voice.

Seeing the great behemeth lumbering towards them, the Autobots switched from using melee weapons to blasters, while Phoenix Prime changed his Arrow load to a hybrid of explosive and lightning. But the blasts glanced off the armored hide of combiner, it then charged his fist back and sent a thunderous shockwave threw the ground, knocking those in it vicinity down. Seeing this as a larger threat, Elita-1 called out, "Ladies together," summering 4 of her partners to her, while reconfiguring herself into a torso form, as: Stormfly, Meatlug, Greenlight and Moonracer latched onto Elita-1 forming limbs and creating Orthia.

Working as one Orthia, convered her servos into large barreled cannons and launched a powerful salvo upon Street Caeser, strictened by the blow the constructed Mecha widen his optics. Feeling the more powerful blow, Street Caeser charge forth with much more coordination and power, to launching a straight hook to Orthias' stomache and making her stagger a little.

"So there is more in that processor, than just Empty R.A.M." Orthia quipped while recovering from the blow before stating, "But there is a lot more to combiner forms that just brute strength," proving her point. she exchangers her blaster for a thorned raiper, via Stormflys' arm and lunge forth in a deluge of strikes at key areas on Street Caeser (Picture Sword Art online Fatal Bullets' Star-Splash). Once the attack was ended, sparks flew out at different area, as Street Caeser separated into its five parts.

Standing before the Giant Femme, the members of the Road Masters look on in wide eyed fear and collapsed down to their vehicle modes, tearing off across the desert in defeat. Watching her abversiaries drive off, Orthia then also revert to her five components and the battle was over

As soon as Elita landed from her reversion, she was approached by Arcee as and was saluted by her, with the greeting of, "Commander! Welcome to earth," from the dark blue femme. Elita's response was, "At ease Arcee, you know there is no need for titles with me," at Arcee's nod, Elita then asks, "So who are you companions," viewing to tripleachangers that remindered her of Springer and Sandstorm, as the triplechangers, a medic, an engineer and Cyberninja joined them, with the beings she believes are the dominate species of the planet.

"Not here Elita, we will make the introductions back at base, there are too many ears and we're meant to keep a low profile, only a few in the earths government are aware of our existence," Arcee said, answering Elita's question and seeing her understands, Arcee then places her servo to the side of her helm and spoke, "Arcee to base, we need an immediate Ground Bridge," before hanging up with a confirm from Raf, then turned to Phoenix and ordered, "Phoenix, shrink the ship and cover our tracks," though Phoenix joked, "You know I am the Prime here, I should be giving the orders," and chuckled while complying, as the newly arrived femmes watched amazed when he drew his staff, before waving it over the area and the ship shrank, as the ship lands were erased.

The portal of the groundbridge opened at the last second before the last of the dust was set back in it former spot, then Arcee retrieved the ship from the ground and then order, "All right everyone back to base," as they headed threw the portal and with the humans entering Phoenix's vehicle mode, before he headed threw the portal. As the portal closed, no one saw the minicon with the symbol of the Decepticons, perched on a rock face looking straight at them.

After the portal vanished, the minicon spread its wings and took flight, flying threw its own groundbridge portal where he immediately docked with his master/mentor: Soundwave, whom then receives the information from the bird and turns towards his commander and as no one was in the command center, Soundwave reports, "Megatron," as he awaits his lord to command, "Proceed Soundwave," when Megatron did, Soundwave replies, "Laserbeak returns from scout the human settlement known as: Jasper," to which Megatron orders, "Soundwave, play back Laserbeak findings."

Nodding (with an, "At once Lord Megatron,") Soundwave fires a jacking cable into Megatrons personal monitor and playsback the minicons scouting, observation of the battle between: M.E.C.H. and the Autobots, when Megatron was finished watching the clip, it stopped and left him to think of the Sparks of his Stunticons warriors still on spark support, before returning to the present and said, "You have done well Laserbeak, Soundwave," at his loyal commander's nod, Megatron then says, "Study this footage with a fine toothed comb, I wish to know how those humans of M.E.C.H. were able to recruit those Cybertronians to their cause, you have my permission to investigate the crash site yourself," with an acknowledgement of, "As you command lord Megatron," before turning around and leaving.

Back in Jasper, after Elita was reunitted with Optimus and the ladies were introduced to the team, debriefed on the state of the decepticon wars on earth, as well the M.E.C.H. faction that shoehorned themselves into the war and their own goals. Once they got to M.E.C.H.'s newest plan, Elita and the ladies were disgusted, reminding themselves Shockwave and his experiements, though greatful their full plan was not realized with the first test subjects, or they would not have a leg up on the Decepticons.

After the debrief, Optimus and Elita retired to Primes quarters, while Phoenix and Nova were left in command, but later Phoenix had gone to spend time with his human parents, but was there if he was needed. Opening a portal back at the site, Soundwave stept threw and began to scan the area, while erecting a large scale camoflage net to hide his activities, seeing repaired damage with his own optics, saw how thorough the evidence wipe was. Realizing that by himself he would not be able to find anything, as he then commands, "Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw Autoscout eject, operation hunt," while deploying: 2 birds, a cat and moonbuggy looking thing.

After the deployment, Ravage and Autoscout immediately caught the scent of the Autobot forces, but were forced to ignore them while they continued the hunt for the M.E.C.H. group and with the help of Laserbeak, who had documented the energy signatures of the group, Ravage and Autoscout converted the information into scent data, where they immediately locked on to them. Finding their scent, Soundwave orders them to lead him to them, while converting to his drone plane mode and darts off after his minicons.

It took time to find the source, as Ravage and Autoscout had to be careful not to be spotted by humans, not that Soundwave would not be able to silence them but: he rather not because it would cause the autobots to interfer with his mission. Back on the Nemisis, Megatron was now walking down a corridor to his most loyal scientist: Shockwave, who was as Megatron entered his personal lab, had been working on a project for increasing his army, "Shockwave!" he ordered, gaining the attention of purple scientist and the Con answered with, "Yes lord Megatron?" while turning and bowing to his master.

"Shockwave," Megatron starts, "How fairs Project Predacon?" with the answer of, "The project is exceding my portraid estimations!" moving away from the area he was at showing off a tube with an almost fully formed Predacon suspended in a transparent gold liquid. The tube showed that the Predacon occupany had been forming even without having Shockwave monitoring it.

Admiring the creatures beauty, Megatron placed his clawed servo on the glass and thought, 'Yes, your destiny is to serve me, my destructive weapon,' as he sees the optics of the Predacon glowed for a second before going dark again. Finished with his thoughts, Megatron faced Shockwave and ordered, "Be sure nothing distracts you from completing Project Predacon but me," before looking back at the Predacon, thing he remarked, "And if you see Knockout before I do, tell him to prepare the medical for spark transplant surgery!"
