Warriors (Wheeljack X Oc)

===< 48 >===

                        Ultra Magnus walks away and a loud screech draws my attention. "Smokescreen?" Arcee asks. Smokescreen transforms and says "Aw, what gave me away?..... Come one! Robots in disguise, right?" What is he talking about? Ultra asks him "Where have you been, Soldier?" I wasn't even going to answer, I knew he was talking to that bot. "Scanning new warpaint. Thought it would be proactive to follow Optimus's lead, and bumblebee's." "=<Optimus never changed paint.>=" Bee says.

                  Ultra Magnus then says "Now you can look your best while stacking those empty cubes." "Yes sir." Smokescreen agrees, he walks towards the area and mumbles. Ratchet yells out "What was that about a prime!?" Smokescreen argues "The--- time. Time to stop acting like a rookie." "Yeah sure...." I mumble.

                           A few minutes later, a groundbridge warbles. I couldn't quite tell who it was. "Optimus, did you find energon?" Ratchet questions. Wait, when did my father get so big? Optimus answers "No, but I did uncover this." I stand up and tap my pede, feeling the mass placement. I bring out my katana and make my way over to them. A large servo is placed on my shoulder and I tense up "Only me, Soldier." My father's voice announces. I relax and Optimus grasps my servo, bringing it to something. It felt like metal and rock at the same time. "What is that?" I ask. Ratchet's voice comes "It cannot be." "Be what?" Jack asks. My father replies "The ancient remains, of a predacon."

                         Ratchet starts "Though it remains unclear why such a skull would be found on your planet, it's presence reveals all too much about the predacon which Megatron recently sent in pursuit of us." Miko remarks "You mean that dragon bot we put on ice?" Ratchet says "Except that predacons have been extinct, since...... well....." Smokescreen answers "Since before most life began on cybertron." Finally, Rafael's voice appears "They're like earth's dinosaurs." "Which means for you guys, running into one would be like us meeting a T-rex." Jack answers. Miko asks "So then what were dinobots?" "Totally different." Bulkhead answers.

                   I tap the ground and sign "Am I the only one who doesn't understand what's going on? I have never heard of a dinobot, neither have I seen this supposed predacon you guys are talking about." Smokescreen laughs "Well, you're blind so that's one factor." I growl "I will shoot your spark---" "Soldier. Calm down. Forgive him, Smokescreen. He is short tempered and being blind causes disfunction to understanding. Some of which encourage his ineffecutual actions." Optimus stops me.

                       They continue their conversation "With Megatron's seeming new interest in the excavation of prehistoric skeletons, and a certain scientist among the decepticon ranks...." Ratchet remarks. Optimus replies "It would stand to reason that Shockwave cloned the beast from one such find." Ultra magnus adds "And now Megatron's looking to clone another." "What makes you think bucket head would stop at just one? What?" Wheeljack and I say at the same time. I look over to where his voice was and I'm pretty sure he looked back at me. I look away, sneering. "We could have beast wars on our hands." Bulkhead exclaims.

                   Ratchet goes on "And if Shockwave only requires a single strand of CNA from which to clone a beast," "He already possesses what he needs to engender this one." Optimus finishes. I mumble "We could have entirely avoided my blindness if you were my father instead, Ratchet." "I heard that, and please watch your limit, it still has to recover even though I fixed it." When did he fix my voicebox?
