Hey there Mechs and Femmes! And welcome back to Transformers Prime: Gate Crasher!

Now In terms of introductions to this chapter...I got nothin'

But completely off topic, Star Wars Jedi Fallen order is finally out and I plan on heading out to EB Games and getting it, so if you wonder why I'm late for future uploads. Well you'll know why.

So enough of me rambling on. Let's Roll Out!

Aim and squeeze the trigger

A new day has rolled around and my wounds have healed enough for me to not be in pain anymore, however I'm not exactly at 100% just yet. However if there is one saving grace, me being grounded has come to an end since my injuries had taken longer than expected and all that is left is for the after effects of the Red Energon to wear off and my wounds to fully heal. I had walked into the Main hub of the base after I had finished testing the weapons I was going to give Arcee which passed with flying colours I might add.

I noticed that it was merely Jazz and Cliffjumper present if you didn't count Jetfire working on the module and Ratchet at the main terminal.

"What's going on?" I asked aloud.

"We've detected several new Energon readings in several different locations, due to everyone's absence. Jazz and Cliffjumper were just about to head off to another sector". Ratchet Explained to me.

"Mind if I come with? I need to stretch my legs a bit". I stated aloud.

"Doesn't bother me, would nice to have a little company". Jazz agreed.

"I'm coming too" I turned around to see Arcee walk up next to me. "Like Connor, I need to stretch my legs as well".

"I'm cool with it, besides I'm pretty sure you two must be itching to get out huh?" Cliffjumper asked as we replied yes in our own way.

"Very well, but make sure to comm if you need backup, if we're detecting these Energon signatures then it's possible that the Decepticons are as well". Ratchet stated as he activated the Ground Bridge and the four of us walked through the portal and were met with a forest that was pretty much in the autumn if the red and brown leaves on the trees were anything to go by.

"Huh, never seen the trees go that colour before". Jazz stated as we began walking towards the signature with Cliffjumper leading the way.

"It's because the trees leaves start going brown in the autumn season, and eventually they fall off. But when spring comes around they begin to grow em back". I explained.

"Huh, what is it you humans say? Circle of life?" He asks as I nod in confirmation as we continue walking. However as we did, the Scanner that Cliff had begun beeping.

"What the? It says the signal were tracking is moving". He said to us as we looked at each other in confusion. "But that doesn't make any sense…unless…" He trailed off as I then pulled out my Path blaster and cocked it.

"It was bait". I said as everyone else had gotten their weapons out and scanned the area.

"Where is it Cliff?" Arcee asked her partner.

"It's jumping all over the place, it won't stay still". He said as he multitasked in looking around with his blaster and checking the scanner to try and keep track of the signal. "What? Now it's…"

"Where is it Cliff?" Jazz said.

"Beneath us?" Oh shit!

"Scatter!" I yell out as we all ran away from our position as the ground crumbled and revealed a pit. Any second later that would've been us in there. I Look up and see everyone alright but a second later Jazz was hit with blaster fire strong enough to knock the bot into a tree with enough force to snap it and render him unconscious and unfortunately Cliffjumper was met with the same fate.

"Jazz! Cliffjumper!" I called as the wind began to pick up around us, both Arcee and I looked up to see a familiar Pave Low helicopter. The Pave Low Transformed into the Decepticon we all know from the live action movies as he landed in a crouch and stood up looking down at us.

"It's been some time since we last met hasn't it?" Blackout said to me constructing his Scrap maker on his arm.

"Not long enough Blackout". I retorted as the said Decepticon then looked at Arcee.

"You might fool the most common Decepticon Arcee, but not me". He said which shocked us, he was able to figure out Arcee's identity so easily, I mean besides the colour scheme and the Arm blades she has you could rule out who it was. But I guess Blackout was more observant as I thought.

"Still plan on hunting me down Blackout? Well you're shit outta luck if you think I'll just stand by let it happen". I stated.

"Unlike Airachnid I'm not a savage, I at least give my target a chance to either run or fight". He pointed out as how he was different to a certain bitch Arcee and I hate with a passion. "So what's it going to be Little Prime?" He said cocking his X-18.

"Here's my answer". I said as I swapped my Path Blaster for a Thermo Rocket Cannon and fired at the Hunter's direction as both Arcee and I scattered. She fired at Blackout with her blasters trying to do any damage to him but Blackout used his main Helicopter blade as a shield to block her shots while he was aiming at me. The shots weren't hitting me directly which was a good thing but it won't last long. I activated my shield and had it absorb the Scrap Maker's shots, as the shield crackled with electricity I launched all the built up damage back at the Decepticon which knocked him back. I then charged him with two Riot cannons on my arms, leapt into the air ready to pull the trigger but Blackout saw it coming and fired something at me which I feel wrap around me and sap my strength.

I looked around me and noticed it was a net.

'Since when did Blackout have a NET!?' I thought frantically as I tried to break free but it was difficult to even construct a weapon on either of my arms. "Augh shit! I can't change weapons". I said to myself as I saw Blackout walk up to me and kneel.

"I will admit you fought quite well young one, but not well enough". He stated.

"When I get outta here-," "But you won't, I plan on bringing you to Megatron as intended-," He didn't get to finish as he was shot in the back and then turned around to see Arcee being the culprit.

"Did you forget about me Blackout?" She taunted as he blasters were smoking. The Decepticon then turned around and stood at full height and pulled out his main rotor and held it in his hand and swung it at her but she was light on her feet and dodged out of the way and fired a few more shots into his face but didn't connect.

As this was going on I struggled to try and break free but with the net preventing me to Change weapons it was difficult, I just needed to change back to my hands and I can help Arcee.

'C'mon just a little. More, there we go!' I thought to myself as my arms went back to normal, I then reached into my subspace and pulled one of the newest weapons I forged not too long ago and loaded it up. "ARCEE!" I called to her as she looked at me as I tossed the weapon at her. She ran past Black out and then jumped into the air and snagged it before landing in front of me.

Blackout looked at the weapon and merely chuckled.

"Really? A human Revolver?"

"Yep". Arcee smirked as she pulled trigger and shot Blackout directly in the chest, the round exploded doing the damage I wanted it to do, she then fire the gun several times making Blackout stumble back a before taking a knee to recover. The weapon's name was kinda me being a little bit of a sap but it just fitted her.

Blue Rose.

Arcee inspected the pistol I had made and I could tell she was satisfied. She then heard metallic sound behind her and turned to me and saw that I had also pulled out the blade I made for her.

"I'd try and use that to cut myself out but I wouldn't have the strength to use it in the net". I said to her as we look to see the Decepticon Hunter getting back on his two feet. "He's durable I'll give em that". I stated.

[Now Playing-Devil Trigger- METAL COVER by RichaadEB (ft. Lollia & Little V)]

"I have to admire your craftsmanship Connor, quite impressive". Blackout stated. "But your meddling will end her two Wheeler". He said to Arcee as his helicopter blade begun spinning. He swung it at Arcee but she blocked it with the blade and went for a strike of her own but was deflected by the rotor, she tried again and again but was met with the same result.

'She's not using the blade's function'. "Arcee Rev it!" I called to her.

"What?!" She called back confused.

"The Sword! Dig it in the ground and rev it!" I answer she did my instruction and revved the sword and the Blade became hotter.

"Oh!" She said to herself as she revved it two more times as the blade then became so hot it was glowing blue and red. As Blackout swung his rotor Arcee swung it at the blades again but the result was different as Blackout's blades were sliced off.

"YES!" I cheered for her as she revved it once and then charged at Blackout again and swung at him but he tried to block it with his arms, only to be met with the burning blade the Arcee held in her hands. "Love get me outta here!" I called to her as she looked back at me and revved the sword again once and cut the net with several slashes. I stood back up and dusted myself off and smirked. "I will admit, Red Queen looks good on you". I said to her saying the Sword's name.

"Thanks babe, now we got some unfinished business". She stated as we both turned our attention to Blackout who stood back up on his two feet.

"You'll pay for that, and I assure you I will make it hurt!" He snarled as he pulled out his X-18 and cocking it.

"Well the feeling's mutual". I said as I constructed two Path Blasters on my arms as Arcee readies Red Queen.

"Let's Rock". I smirked as we both Charge towards Blackout as he fired his machine gun at the both of us.

However we separated and went for his flank, he couldn't hit both of us at the same time and as his attention was on Arcee, I grappled onto his back and fired kept firing until I hit a gambler round for each blaster making me leap off his back and turn to me.

This Gave Arcee the opening she needed as Blackout was shot in the back several times by Arcee as she slid underneath him firing at his joints and popped another round into his chest. Arce was now next to me and stood up with Red Queen dug in the ground and fully revved. She looked at me and we nodded before rushing Blackout again.

I swapped weapons to a Thermo Rocket cannon and fired directly at Blackout's wounds adding more salt into the wound with the rocket hitting its target, Arcee then swung Red Queen at his legs making him lose his footing.

[End Track]

"Timber!" I called as Blackout fell down like a tonne of bricks. Arcee and I were now about to finish him off as a cannon had made itself known on Blackout's chest. "Oh shit!"

The Cannon fired and the impact of the shot hit the ground in front of us creating a shock wave, which was pretty much similar if not the same as the one seen in the live action movie. The wave sent both of us back flying several feet. I sat up and noticed that a ground bridge hand opened up and Blackout had bolted through it.

"Typical" I muttered at I stood back up, I looked around to see Arcee was getting her bearings and raced over to her and helped her up.

"Augh, Where's Blackout?" She asked.

"Escaped, guess he bitten off more than he could chew, C'mon let's get the others up and going". I said to her as she raced to Cliffjumper and I handled Jazz. I went over to him and gave him a little bit of a shock to give his systems a jumpstart, he started groaning as he then sat up he then looked around saw the aftermath of the fight.

"What happened?" He asked me.

"Blackout got the jump on us, knocked you and Cliff out to get to Arcee and me. But we managed to hold him off". I explained the situation to him in a nutshell.

"Well, from what you told me Blackout was hunting you down for Megatron". Jazz stated as he stood up with all of us gathered back up. "So why would Blackout go through all this trouble just to hunt you down Connor?"

"You're guess is as good as mine Jazz, but I think we can all agree that it's never good news". I replied.

"Yea well he's going to have to try harder if that's the case". Cliffjumper added while cracking his metal knuckles. He then looked around before turning to me. "But it looks like you grounded him for a while if there's several Helicopter blades scattered around".

"Actually that was Arcee's doing. She sliced off all of Blackout's blades with the new Sword I gave her". I gestured to the human two-wheeler who was holding Red Queen on her Shoulder.

"You really outdid yourself on this one Connor". She smiled to me as I returned it as well. "Ratchet we need a Bridge". She commed the CMO as the Green portal appeared before us. As we were walking through a thought came to mind as in regard of today's events, why would Blackout try and target me now of all times?

He knew when Arcee got her knew weapons he didn't have much of a chance if he stayed. Something's off, and I get the feeling that we'll be seeing him again sometime down the road.

There we have it Everyone! Red Queen and Blue Rose are added on the list of weapons, and are now for Arcee herself to use! Speaking of DMC, Devil May Cry 5 is one Game I should get around to purchasing, And I might go back and play DMC 3 or 4. But NOT 2, seriously that game felt like a chore compared to the others.

Anyway...I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, even thought it may seem a little rushed, be sure to let me know what you guys think in the review section. A bit of feedback can go a long way So until then, I'll see ya next time!
