Warriors (Wheeljack X Oc)

===< 78 >===

            Optimus announces "Ultra Magnus, you will supervise patrols to find and capture the fugitive Decepticons." Ultra nods "I would be honored." My dad turns to the other wreckers "Bulkhead, you will lead the reconstruction effort. Begin by building a landing field to welcome returning refugees. Wheeljack, I will require extensive experience navigating deep space." My eyes widen and Jackie makes my nervousness worse by saying "When do we leave?"

          I turn to him and ask my dad "Before you 2 go, can I- can I talk to Wheeljack for a second? In private?" Optimus nods and steps away to find The Iron Will "Of course." I pull Jackie aside and whisper "You can't leave me here. Ultra's gonna kick my ass!" Wheeljack says to me "You'll be fine." He looks back to Ultra "He knows not to hurt you. Plus, I've heard what you did to Shockwave and Megatron. Feel free to hit him if you feel like it." I nod and Wheeljack goes on "Plus, I'll be fine! It's just a quick trip, nothing bad'll happen to you... and if something does, I'll get em like I got bucket-head, okay?" He kisses my helm and then my lips and hugs me "I'll be back, I promise." He says in my ear. Jackie seperates and kisses me once more before leaving with Prime. Bulkhead pats my shoulder "It's okay, I got you covered." I look to him and nod, faking a smile. I was incredibly nervous now....

Bulkhead and I were by the construction area, I was watching the vehicons in one area and my attention is driven when Bulkhead calls out to a few of them "woah, Woah WOAH!!! How are you gonna attach the cladding when the framing structure is incomplete, huh!?" The vehicons start walking backwards with the piece before bumping into a few of soldiers behind them. I fly up as they start falling off the edges and catch 2 of them as the others fall to the ground. "Oof." I sound, watching as a structure pipe lands on a vehicon. I go back to the ground and carefully place the 2. They bow and say "Thank you, Lord Soldier." I cock a ridge and then shake my helm "I am not with that." They apologize and one asks nervously "I-is commander Soldier, better?" I nod and he holds his hands up in defense "Alright. W-we'll be on our way." They run off to continue work.

Arcee drives up to us and transforms "labor issues?" She asks. Another bang sounds. Bulkhead ignores her comment and and asks "Any sign of our fugitives?" The cyclist remarks "Just signs of recent scavenging and former decepticon installations." "The con warship can't detect their life signals?" Bulk asks. Cee shakes her head "Shockwave must have found a way to shield or disable them." We all look up to the Nemesis and Bulkhead comments "I'll feel better when that gruesome twosome are locked up with the others."

"I'm gonna go check with Smokescreen. I'll be right back." I say. Bulkhead nods and lets me. I run off and transform, boosting off into the sky and then flying to Smokescreen..... who by coincidence so happens to be driving with Magnus. When they transform, I land infront of them, a few meters away. Magnus ejects his blaster and so does Smokescreen. I step back, ejecting my mask and blasters along with. Magnus glares and Smokescreen steps infront "NO no no!! It's just us!!" "Yeah I know that, what's with you guys!?" I ask. Smokescreen says "We got 2 signals!" I lower my arms a bit and then hear rustling and turn to see 2 bots, digging through metal. I walk over and say "My name is Soldier Pax, are you decepticon or autobot?" They stand up tall and the left one remarks "We are predacon. Come with us, we'll lead you to—-" he stops when seeing Magnus and Smokescreen behind me. They growl and transform, jumping over me and attacking the 2. I roll my eyes "Just because I have red eyes doesn't mean I'm a con." I then run out and begin shooting at Smokescreens enemy. I was able to dodge the predacon pretty well and Smokescreen used his phase shifter to get away from the beast's flames. The rookie calls me "Go help Magnus. I'll be fine" I groan and run towards Magnus to help him. I shoot the creature off of him and it gets back. It then gets back up as Magnus does and the beast shakes his helm, then running at us. We try to hold him back with our blasters but it did nothing. I then push Magnus to the floor and the creature tackles me, picking me up and then throwing me hard against the ground before clawing at me, tearing my metal skin open. I shoot the beast a few times as the dark energon running through me slowly fixes me but the predacon smacks me, almost knocking me unconscious but it made me stop fighting. The beast goes to finish me but I see the claw swipe straight through me, with a blue glow separating our figures. I then feel Smokescreen start dragging me away from the beast before picking me up and helping me through a groundbridge. He sets me on a berth as I regain my strength. I shortly fall asleep and then wake up once more, to another face....

Before going on, guess who!
