"Rattrap" He's going to be in the story?

I meant Ratbat. Sorry, I'll change it.

I see you found, what I was talking about.

 

" But I'm not sure about Rattrap. He's kind of annoying." True, but I like him.

Alt. Swindle tain't bad either though.........

 

Keep up the good work.

Here's the deal. Since I'm working on a cross over with Rodimus VTS, the rest of this story is going to be in that fan fic. So at current, we're up to the point of...well, read the cross over story. We're going to put links to my three fan fix in there, and then continue with the finishing up of this story.

Stascream looked up at the sky, and sure enough, there were those blasted twins, their scout, those two Dinobots, Jetfire, Bulkhead, and two of the Aerialbots. He figured that if they're heading towards Earth, that they'd better find a way to follow them without being spotted. He turned to Soundwave. "Soundwave. With your new body, can you produce a field that will allow us to follow them without being detected both by their scanners, and visually?"

 

"Yes. Starscream. It can be done. Buzzsaw. Laserbeak. Eject. Operation: Interference. Shield us from their visual and scanners. Fly. We'll follow."

 

The two birds soared up into the sky, and incorporating new technology, created a field of energy that made them invisible to both scanners and optics alike. They had the perfect cover for following the Autobots back to Earth.

 

 

technicly.... the shield would create a ball around them. the Older Autobots could tell they were being followed, by the way the light was being reflected. and that the stars in back behind the Decepticons should be seen, but aren't because of something in the way

 

 

(i don't want to ruin the story, but to save my Autobot comrades)

No. It's supposed to be one of those fields that mimicks whatever it's blocking, except whoever it's shielding. In other words, the Decepticons are covered, but to the Autobots, it looks like just a sea of stars behind them. So they can't tell that they're being followed. :tfevil

Chapter 6

 

“Perfect just a few more cycles and we’ll be through that blasted energon shield!� exclaimed Starscream.

“Well I just hope none of the humans see us.�

“What are you talking about Soundwave!?!�

“You see Starscream the cloaking devices on Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw block the optics on the Autobots using a blue shift.�

“So why are you worried about humans seeing us you fool? What are a few flesh bags going to do run screaming!?! MWAHAHAHA!�

“Um Starscream.�

“What Hook?�

“Well there is that bunch of humans that hang around the Autobots. Infact there’s a bunch of them with the ones coming back from Cybertron. See just look up there.�

“Hmm you’re right Hook. Well we’ll just have to hope they don’t see us until after we’re through the field. Everyone speed up we’re going to need to be right on their thrusters in order to make it through at almost the exact same time they do.�

Answering in unison “Right!�

 

****************

“Optimus this is Jetfire do you read me?�

“Yes Jetfire I’m guessing everything went according to plan.�

“Yes sir Infact we’re just beyond the moon now and closing fast. Be ready to lower the energon field for us.�

“Rodger that Jetfire just watch your back we’re getting some slightly abnormal readings out there, and there’s no telling what Starscream and the others were up to on Cybertron.�

“Right Optimus I’ll have Kicker keep an eye out behind us as we enter.�

“Good we’re lower the field now.�

 

Just then all of they Autobots returning from Cybertron were knocked about by some unseen force.

 

“Jetfire its Starscream three of him and a bunch of other Decepticons!�

“What are you talking about three Starscreams? I think you’ve been of earth way too long kid you’re seeing things. I can’t see anything!�

“There straight ahead they look kind of bluish.�

“A blue shift! They’re cloaked!�

“Jetfire what’s going on up there!?!�

“We’ve been tricked sir. Starscream and a bunch of other Decepticreaps snuck by us during reentry. By being cloaked�

“They’re beyond the grids ability to stop them now so we’ll just have to deal with them later.�

“Rodger that Optimus but I’m going to break off the return to base a give chase. We need to find out where their base is.�

“NO Jetfire return to base you can’t even see them anyway. Just the humans can, and if I’m right there’s no way you’d be able to follow them and stand up to the arsenal that they brought back with them inside Soundwave.�

“Soundwave!?! No way he was destroyed decades ago in the Great War.�

“Right but just as we’re reviving Autobots from that era the Decepticons are reviving their old team mates.�

“Alright Optimus we’re coming in.�

“Good I want to hear everything Kicker saw. We need to know just who all they brought back.�

“I’ll be right there to let you know Optimus.�

 

****************

 

Later in the Autobot`s command center.

“So Kicker what all did you see?�

“Well Optimus there were three Starscreams, Hook, and a big guy who kind of looked like a CD player, as well as two small bird looking things flying out ahead.�

Optimus brought up an image on the screen.

“Is this what the “CD player guy� looked like?�

“Yeah that’s him but that guy’s a tape player right?�

“Just an upgrade from a tape to a CD player. Either way he’s still a major threat.�

“Soundwave right Optimus?�

“Yes Kicker and those “birds� were Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw. Just two of his little minions that he carries with him. If only we had Blaster.�

“Who’s Blaster?�

“Blaster was the only Autobot who could match Soundwave back in the days of the great war. He now lives in Iacon not far from where Rodimus Sr. lives. He is now one of the counsel of elders but with the super energon gas there’s no telling if he’s managed to escape.�

“Well we could just send out a message and hope he gets it.�

“You’re right Wheeljack send it out immediately and then get a new body ready for him and his crew.�

“Yes sir Optimus message has been sent and now I’ll go start working on his body.�

“Now all we can do is hope he escaped Cybertron and gets the message.� Optimus stated hopingly

 

****************

 

“Welcome back Starscream. You and your crew have done well.�

“Thank you Galvatron. I live only to serve you sir.� Under his breath “That and to one day be rid of you so I can lead the Decepticons like they should be run!�

“What was that Starscream!?!�

“What oh um just that you lead us the Decepticons the way we should be run.�

“Hmm that’s what I thought you said. So introduce me to our newest members.�

“Well we managed to find not only Soundwave`s spark but his minions sparks as well. Soundwave sound off.

“Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Ratbat, Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw eject.�

“Excellent you got the whole crew. What about those two.�

“Ah you mean my “bothers�. Galvatron sir meet Thundercracker, and Skywarp.�

“Just like your father and his brothers hmm Starscream?�

“Yes sir.�

“Where’s the Stunticons? I had planned on sending them out as soon as you got back.�

“Well their sparks were unstable sir so we decided to just leave them.�

“Oh well we’ll have to make due without them.�

 

End chapter 6

Chapter 7

 

Wheeljack was busy in the lab with Ratchet working out the designs for a body for Blaster, Eject, Rewind, Steeljaw, and Ramhorn that were updated and could match Soundwave and his crew.

 

Suddenly the comm in the lab went off.

 

"Just in time. We finished the designs for Blaster, and we're working on his crew now. What's up Optimus?" Wheeljack asked.

 

"We're getting a message. Scramble code C-BLSTERG1. I think you should come down and see it, if it's who I think it is."

 

"Right Optimus. I'm on my way."

 

****************

 

Wheeljack made his was to the main room and Broadcast, went ahead and played the message.

 

On screen was an Autobot who's head looked like Hot Shot's had when he first started in the Autobot army, but it was red and silver, and a second Autobot with a missile/laser on his shoulder and silver dials on his shoulder sides.

 

"Hey Optimus. What's shakin'. I got your message, and I'll be glad to help. And I figured bringing along my buddy Perceptor wouldn't hurt either. He wants to help."

 

"Salutations Optimus Prime." Perceptor said.

 

"Blaster, it's good to see you again. We're in need of your help. We have an updated body for you and your crew to help us with Soundwave who's been brought back along with his crew. And it's never a bad idea to have another Autobot on board. Do you need a new body Perceptor. We reccomend you get one that can handle Energon the way we can."

 

"Agreed Optimus. I was thinking of something along the lines of my current form, but with modern updates that you can find with modern microscopes. If the young human boy Kicker has one, I'll gladly scan it."

 

Wheeljack seemed content. "When can we expect you guys?"

 

"Oh, I'd say in about four standard Earth hours. By that time, I'll make it in time for the Top 40 countdown with Casey Kasem, my fave radio personality." Blaster said.

 

"Okay. We'll have everything set up for you by then. Optimus out."

 

Broadcast ended the message, and he looked a little grim. "Well, with Blaster coming, I guess I'm out of a job, huh Optimus?"

 

"Not at all Broadcast. I had thought of the situation, and it'd be easier if we have Blaster run the things like coding the messages and things like that since that was his biggest ability when it comes to running comm. You'll do just about everything else. But the biggest reason he's coming back is to match Soundwave since he's the only one that could."

 

Broadcast just lightened up. "Awsome."

 

End Chapter 7

Chapter 8

 

“What do we have here? Hmm it looks like an Autobot ship coming through the field.�

“Who do you think it might be Galvatron?�

“Does it matter? I want that ship and everyone on board destroyed! Immediately!�

“Yes Galvatron right away. Soundwave I want you Devastator, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Bruticus to come with me. We are going to crush that ship and everyone in it!�

“Quit your yapping and get up there!�

“Y-yes r-right away Galvatron.�

“We’re off!�

 

****************

 

Up in the stratosphere Blaster and Perceptor are making preparations for landing when suddenly.

 

FOOOOOOOOM! KA-BOOOOOOOOM!

 

“Perceptor we’re hit!�

“Really I thought we just hit some air. Of course we’re hit.�

“Eject, Rewind, Steeljaw and Ramhorn get out and shout!�

 

The four tapes pop out, transform, and leave the ship to go fight back when Blaster sees him.

 

“Soundwave! Perceptor take the controls and cover me I’m stepping out.�

“You do realize that Autobots don’t fly right?�

“Of course I’m going to use a hover board.�

“Just be careful.�

 

Outside Blaster and Soundwave come face to face.

 

“Do you think that just because you got an upgrade that you can beat my beat!?�

“Rumble, Frenzy destroy his board!�

“You’re going to what? I think not! Perceptor now!�

“Right Blaster. Laser barrage engage!�

“Soundwave have Ratbat take out those lasers now!�

“Ratbat go.�

 

The lasers blasted Ratbat and he fell to the earth. Just past Optimus who had power linked with Wingsaber.

 

“So Blaster could you use a hand? I hope you don’t mind Starscream but I brought a couple of friends of mine. Jetfire, Superion, Defensor, Bulkhead show them what you’ve got�

“Sure thing Optimus.�

“Optimus Jr. It’s nice to finally see you again in person.�

“Good to see you too Blaster. Alright gentle men let’s send Starscream and company back to Galvatron in pieces!�

“I think not Prime for this time I’ve been waiting in the wings just for you.�

“Galvatron don’t you ever learn. The Autobots will always win because we work together.�

“Let’s see how well you work together when your friend Blaster is falling to earth! MWAHAHAHA!�

 

FOOOOOM! BOOOOM!

 

“Ahhhhhhhh! Optimus help!�

“Yes Optimus go help your fallen comrade.�

“No need. Superion go get Blaster to base. Defensor guide Perceptor in. Jetfire watch my back. Optimus Prime, Wingsaber disengage.�

“Why Optimus you’ll fall.�

“Not too far. Optimus Prime, Omega Supreme combine!�

“Ah no he’s gone and brought Omega into it. Decepticons they’ve gotten what they wanted fall back!�

“Not so fast Galvatron we have Perceptor. I had Bruticus and Devastator go after him and Defensor. They told me it took them all of about 20 milicycles to trash Defensor and snag that gold mine of knowledge Perceptor. So we got what we want. MWAHAHAHA!�

“Starscream I think I’ll give you a medal for this. Decepticons back to base!�

“Perceptor Noooooooooo!�

 

****************

 

Back at Autobot HQ.

 

“Don’t worry Optimus we’ll get him back.�

“Yes I know but what I’m worried about is what Galvatron will get from him in the mean time.�

 

****************

 

“Welcome to my lab Perceptor can I offer you a sedative before I start your hard drive wipe? MWAHAHAHAHA!� Sixshot laughed maniacally.

 

End Chapter 8

Chapter 9

 

Wheeljack slammed a fist against a wall...BAM...leaving a nice indentation, quickly covered and repaired by a repair drone.  He then continued to pace, being watched by Ironhide and Kicker.

 

"Hey Kicker, what's Wheeljack so mad about?"

 

Kicker rolled his eyes at his partners usual stupid questions.  "Isn't it obvious Ironhide.  He's worried about Perceptor.  From what Jetfire told me, Perceptor taught Wheeljack half of what he knows.  There's usually a special bond between student and master, and when the master's in trouble, the student's angry."

 

"Kicker, I understood most of that, but you lost at the whole master-student thing."

 

"Argh, blow it out your exhuast pipes."

 

****************

 

"Thanks for the upgrade Ratchet.  My beat is now beating faster and with the new sub woofer system, I can really shake it."

 

"Glad you like it Blaster."  Optimus said coming into the room.

 

"Hey Optimus.  What's shakin' 'bot?"

 

"I need to ask you, was there anything important that Perceptor knew as to why the Decepticons would want him?"

 

"Hmm.  Well, he was going on about some thing involving Energon infusion at safe tolerable levels and how he hoped that it would give us an advantage.  But I did my usual routine and just started jamming until we entered Earth's atmosphere."

 

"Hmm.  We have Energon stars, what could he have been talking about?"

 

****************

 

Meanwhile at Decepticon HQ, they were strapping down Perceptor for the hard drive wipe.

 

"You should be honored Perceptor.  You're the first Autobot I've allowed in this base.  And you'll be the last.  Now, about that information."

 

Struggling in his contained position, Perceptor finally stopped and looked at Megatron with some calm anger reflected towards him.  "You'll never get away with this Megatron.  My hard drive is encoded at the moment, and the Autobots will find me."

 

"Don't make me laugh Perceptor.  Right now, it's just you, me, and Six Shot."  Turning to Sixshot, he nodded his head.

 

"Right.  Now, make sure to scream Autobot."

 

"I'd say the same to you in about two seconds."

 

 

BOOM!

 

 

The smoke cleared, and standing there were Blaster, Optimus in his new Super Mode (which looked exactly like his old one, just the vehicles were more powerful versions), Wheeljack, Landmine, and Rodimus.

 

"All right Galvatron.  Let's Perceptor go."  Optimus said.

 

"What!  How did you find us?"

 

Perceptor jumped off the table, because Landmine and Blaster were dealing with Six Shot and he had cut himself out.

 

"You can thank me Galvatron.  Do you remember when I stopped stuggling.  It's because I activated a silent, IR/UV invisible homing beacon allowing them to come because it opens a portal between the signal source and the signal destination, sending them a reasonable but timely distance away from the source."

 

Galvatron's face just turned from mad to furious.  In a quick motion, he grabbed Perceptor, turned his cannon/sword around so that it was ready to fire, and activated a small energo dagger.

 

"Take another step and your friend gets it Optimus.  Then neither party will have the information.  This blade is coated in a venom that wreaks havocs on the systems and causes an immediate and permanant stasis lock on the body."

 

Everybody was about to move, but Optimus held them back.  "No.  Perceptor, don't worry.  We'll get you out of here.  Galvatron, let's talk about the fact that if neither party has the information..."

 

While Optimus was talking, Landmine silently slid his cable and attached it around Perceptor's foot from behind since he and Blaster were done with Six Shot, and Blaster had his crew come out in stealth mode.

 

"...stale mate.  Now, we can either just let you kill him, which I'm not going to allow, or we can...NOW!"

 

In a quick motion, Galvatron was pounced upon by four small Autobots and Blaster, and in the process, Perceptor was pulled out from under and tossed over to be cought by Optimus.

 

"Oh.  Thank Primus you cought me Optimus.  If you hadn't, I would have..."

 

"Not now Perceptor.  Everybody, MOVE OUT!"

 

Everybody transformed and moved out, with Perceptor and Blaster hitching rides on Landmine and Rodimus.

 

Galvatron got up, dazed, and with help from Six Shot.  "Galvatron, they're gone.  We lost."

 

Galvatron smacked him aside and looked at the portal closing.  Clenching his teeth he said "I will get you someday Optimus.  Maybe not now, but some...day!"
