It was a pretty nice day on the planet, sunny, warm, a nice day for scouting. There was one small problem, it was quiet, a little toooo quiet...... " I really don't like this silence around here! Something is wrong!" Pantha told her friend, Snarl.
" Like we're being watched." Snarl said.
Pantha shook her head.
" Think the Preds are up to something?" she asked.
Snarl nodded.
" Most likely, it wouldn't be this quiet!" he responded.
" Hmmm, we'll just have to keep our eyes open, in the mean time, our shift is over, let's get outta here." Pantha said.
They started to walk back to base when an explosion came up from the ground.
" MMMMRRRROOOOAAAARR!!" Pantha screamed as she flew through the air and landed on a rock.
" YIIIIKKESS!!" Snarl yelled as he hit a tree.
Pantha shook.
" Woah! Mines?!" Pantha asked confused.
The two looked at each other.
" Predacons!" they both yelled.
They ran back to base to report their findings to Optimus.
************ " A mine field?!" Firehawk asked as confused as the rest.
Pantha nodded.
" ' Fraid so, looks like the Preds are planning something horrible." Pantha theorized.
Hunter frowned.
" I don't like it!" he said in his low tone of voice.
Now this guy was FREAKY!! He'll tear you apart and then some!! He'll also spread your parts all over the place!The only thing you can see of his face are his red eyes. He was one of the most feared Maximals. But he also had a sense of humor, just don't get on his bad side!
" Well, I think you should stay away from them" Sprocket suggested.
Pantha raised her eyebrow( or what seemed like it ).
" Why? I'm going to find out what's going on over there!" Pantha boomed.
" I'd advise you as well not to go, Pantha." BrownPaw warned her.
" Why are you guys so worried? I'm going and you can't stop me!" Pantha growled.
" I wouldn't go either!" Flashcat advised.
" Guys, I'll be fine!" Pantha whined.
" I wouldn't..... " Deep Freeze warned.
Pantha covered her ears and started to yell.
" I'M NOT LISTENING! I'M NOT LISTENING!! LA-LA-LA-LA LAA LA!!"
Hunter grasped her neck.
" YOU, ARE BEING A PAIN!! SHUT UP OR LOOSE IT!!! " Hunter growled loudly.
Pantha shrunk back, scared.
" Okay, okay, I'm quiet!" She said hesitantly.
Foxy came in.
" You cannot be more childish can you?" She asked grinning.
Pantha walked up to her.
" Oh yeah? Well at least I don't love-mmfffphpmmm!!"
Foxy slammed her hand to cover her mouth.
" Nobody guys, nobody!" Foxy answered.
***********
Blackarachnia, Vengeance, Darksky and Starscream were talking about what to do about the Maximals.
" I think the plan will work just fine!" Blackarachnia said.
" But we have a problem." Vengeance informed.
" Half of the Maximals are getting on to it." Starscream responded.
Darksky sighed.
" Then finish them off!!" she suggested.
Starscream looked at her.
" Ya, sure, I'm really going up against half of the Maximals!" Starscream said sarcastically.
" Hmmmmm, maybe we should inform Galvatron and gang up on the Maximals who are scouting!" Blackarachnia suggested.
" Yeah, we'll do that!" Vengeance exclaimed.
" Bye-bye scouts!" Darksky laughed evily.
" Who are the first ones to go?" Blackarachnia asked.
" I believe Nova and Trailblazer, they're closer to us." Starscream replied.
" Well, let's go!" Vengeance exclaimed.
They got up and went to tell Galvatron about their plans to destroy the Maximals that know to much.......
************
Pantha was walking in the jungle with BrownPaw, Firehawk and Draco. She let her battle buddies out, Mirage and Firecracker.
" Gad, this Pred stuff is buggin' me sooo much!" Firehawk said.
" I know, I'd like to rip one of their heads of right now!!" Pantha growled.
" Don't go too far with your head-ripping thing." BrownPaw reminded her.
" Well, this is kinda creepy." Draco said.
" Um, guys?" Mirage asked.
" Yeah?" the others responded.
" Can we shut-up and enjoy the walk?" Firecracker asked annoyed.
Mirage was the quiet one of the two, gentle, kind and smart. Firecracker was the one who lived on the wild side and was the "rebel", so to say. She often leaped before she looked and rarely listened to anyone but Pantha and herself.
Pantha laughed.
" Sorry, of course we can!" Firehawk answered.
They started to talk normally when a transmission came in.
" MAY-DAY! MAY-DAY! WE ARE BEING ATTACKED! NEED REIN-"
It was cut off by a lazer shot.
" Your time has come MINIMAL!!!" Darksky said as she insanly laughed.
The transmission ended.
Firehawk looked up sadly.
" That was...." she started.
" Nova!" Draco finished.
Pantha turned around.
" We've gotta help them, TB's with him too, let's move!" Pantha said.
" Ahem, who's fourth in command here?" BrownPaw and Firehawk asked.
Pantha stopped.
" Uhhh, please?" Pantha asked.
Firehawk grinned.
" That's more like it!" she yelled.
They all started to run to Nova's and Trailblazer's position.
***********
Nova flew away from the lazer bolt.
" We can't hold much longer! My com`s jammed!!" he yelled.
Trailblazer was firing behind a rock.
" Well that's reassuring!" he said sarcastically.
" My com is jammed too!"
Darksky shot down Nova.
" OOOWW!!" Nova yelled as he hit the ground, really, really hard.
Darksky laughed with satisfaction.
" Like I said, your time has come!"
She started to run towards him to finish him off when two little black cats came out of the shadows.
" Mirage, MAXIMIZE!!"
" Firecracker, MAXIMIZE!!"
The two battle buddies jumped on Darksky.
" AAAAAAAAACCKK!!" Darksky screamed as they started to claw her eyes.
Pantha and Firehawk came out of the shadows.
" HAHAHAHAHA!! You can't even beat battle buddies!" Pantha laughed.
Firehawk went over to Nova.
" Are you okay?" she asked.
" Yeah, just need some minor repairs!" Nova responded.
Firehawk summoned the guys.
" BrownPaw, Draco, bring him back to base!" she ordered.
" Will do!" Draco responded.
The two guys took Nova and started to bring him back to base.
Pantha was stuck fighting Starscream.
" HAAAIIII-YAA!!" she screamed as she drop-kicked him.
Starscream fell, yet, came right back up.
" NO WAY CAT!!!!" he yelled as he shot her.
Pantha fell back.
" AAAAAIIIEEE!" she screamed as she came right back.
She hit him, punched him, kicked him, gave him a nasty upper-cut, and finally, gave him a nasty scar over his chest.
" AAAAAA!! FAALL BAAACK!!!" he yelled.
The Preds started to fall back.
" That'll teach you to mess with our friends!!" Firehawk yelled.
" MAXIMALS RULE!" Mirage and Firecracker yelled.
Pantha frowned.
" Don't get all happy now! They'll be back!" she warned.
As they thought about what Pantha said, they started to walk back to Axalon, watching their backs........
************
" So Nova and Trailblazer were basically attacked." Optimus mumbled.
" Yes sir, we received the transmittion on our break." BrownPaw explained.
Pantha nodded.
" We had to high-tail and check on them." she explained.
Firehawk shook her head in despair.
" They were out numbered, so we decided to help out." she said.
Firecracker stood up.
" In other words, we kicked butt!" she exclaimed.
Mirage nodded.
" Poor Nova was hurt!" she said like a little kid.
" And Trailblazer was under heavy fire." Draco added.
Pantha nodded.
" They retreated a little soon, something is going on." she said in deep thought.
" I don`t like it! We must be prepared for an attack! I know these Preds, they wouldn`t retreat to soon, especially with Pantha around." Hunter said.
Pantha elbowed him.
" Shut-up!" she growled.
Optimus shook his head.
" No, I'm sure the Preds aren't going to attack without a warning." he theorized.
Foxy walked into the room.
" I`ma have ta' agree with Hunter on this one, sir. The Preds could attack without warning if they want!" she commented.
" Not without us detecting!" NightStrike opinionated.
" Have you heard of cloaking devices?" Foxy asked.
" Those are illegal!" Bandit said.
" Not For them!" Foxy shouted.
" Foxy, ya` are so unreal 'dese days! 'Dey can't get 'dem devices if 'dey wanna!" Rattrap shouted back.
" IF YOU WERE A PRED, I`D EAT YA RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!!!" Foxy yelled.
Foxy walked right out.
" Leave her alone, she is a troubled young fox. I`ll talk to her." Hunter said.
Hunter saluted as he walked out.
Optimus chuckled.
" Gotta like that guy, he's as loyal as an ant to his colony!" he commented.
" He reminds me of a cross-over between Inferno and Tigertron!" Firecracker stated.
Pantha tried to hold in the laughter.
The Maximals had a moment of silence.
Optimus spoke.
" We'll keep a watch for the Preds." he said.
" Thanks sir, we'll need it." BrownPaw said.
The Maximals walked out of the room, leaving Optimus alone.
***********
Foxy was outside talking to a few of her friends.
" I just don`t like this!" she commented.
Her friends agreed.
" We have to do something!!" Pyros said.
" We shouldn't rush in this, I mean, they could attack at any second." CyberBison said.
Just then a whole lot of Preds popped up.
" You're darn right!" Fireclaw yelled.
The Preds got ready to shoot.
" Did I already mention your time has come?" Darksky laughed.
The Preds started to open fire at the gang.
Foxy sprung back.
" CyberBison, Sprocket, get help, NOW!!!" she yelled over the gun fire.
The two ran in the base to get the help.
Foxy dodged another shot.
" Flashcat, Deep Freeze, attack from the side!" she yelled as she tried to shoot some Preds down.
" Pyros, Lionex, attack from the back!" Foxy said.
They all spread out to different positions to start the attack.
Wavecrasher was the first to come out. He hopped over to Foxy.
" Need help?" he asked.
" No, I don`t!" Foxy said sarcastically.
" I knew you needed it!" Wavecrasher said.
Foxy took a quick glance at him. She found him giving that " are you pissed yet?" look. She shook her head and went back to fighting. Firehawk came out.
" Take this Preds!!" she yelled as she shot some Preds down.
Hunter came out next, still in beast mode.
" GOOD-NIGHT!" he bellowed as he jumped on Fireclaw and started to gnaw at his head.
" HUNTER! MAXIMIZE!!" Pyros shouted at him.
" SCREW THAT!! THIS IS FUN!!" Hunter shouted back.
Immediately, he went back to gnawing Fireclaw`s head.
" GET OFF OF ME MINIMAL!!" Fireclaw yelled.
" GI GON`T KINK SCHO!!" Hunter muffled STILL gnawing on Fireclaw`s head.
An other Pred shot Hunter off of Fireclaw`s head. Hunter landed in a bush. Eelanya went to finish off Hunter.
" HAHAhuh? Where did he go?" she said searching for him.
All of a sudden, a pair of claws go through Eelanya`s head.
" OUT OF ORDER!!" Hunter said.
Eelanya fell back.
" I`ll...... kill...... you... Mini....mal!" was her last words.
Hunter kicked her butt.
" Not any time soon!" he growled.
Pantha came out of Axalon with her war-cry.
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" she laughed as she shot some of the Preds.
She gracefully flipped over the firefight over to Hunter.
" Niiiiiiicce entrance!! I like it!" Hunter complimented.
" Thanks, but the Preds are the real problem!" Pantha said as she started to fire.
" Ya, ya, I know!" Hunter sighed.
" Why aren't you Maximized?" Pantha asked him.
" It`s more-DRACO BEHIND YOU- fun that way!" Hunter said.
" Thanks big-guy!" Draco while shooting at Starscream.
" Glad I can be of service!" Hunter shouted back.
Pantha shook her head.
" You, Hunter, are completely PSYCO!!" she yelled.
" Hey, it`s my job!" Hunter responded.
Pantha shook her head again. She did another flip over and decided to take on the leader.... Galvatron.....
" Hey, why don`t you pick on someone your own size!!" Pantha asked.
Galvatron turned around.
" Oh really, Minimal? Like you?" he asked as he let go of BrownPaw.
Pantha grinned.
" Bring it on!" she growled.
BrownPaw widened his eyes.
" Are you nuts?" he asked.
" No just crazy, go report the situation!" Pantha told him.
BrownPaw left.
" You will die!!! AND DIE NOW!!!!" Galvatron yelled as he attacked Pantha.
Pantha took out her lazer and shot him back.
" Not tonight!" she yelled back.
The brawl begun as they started a fist fight. So far, Pantha was winning...... until Galvatron took her by the neck.
" I will crush you with my bare hands!!" he yelled.
Pantha broke free.
" NEVER!!!!!!" she screamed as she started to fight again.
They were still fighting.
Foxy came along and tried to shoot Galvatron, but kept on missing.
" FOXY, AIM FOR HIS HEAD!!" Pantha yelled as she held Galvatron back.
She had a firm hold of him, Foxy fired ten shots...... but a shrill scream came from Pantha`s mouth.
" AAAAAAAAAA!!!" Pantha screamed as she fell to the ground.
Mech fluid poured out like a waterfall.
" PRIMUS, NOOOOOO!!!" Foxy yelled.
Firehawk came and looked at the mess.
" What in the inferno happened??" she asked.
Foxy took a deep breath, then a big gulp.
" I....... I KILLED PANTHA!!!!" Foxy cried out in utter terror.
Firehawk gasped and stared down at the body, mech fluid staining all over the place. Pantha was wrong, she did die that night.........
To Be
