Transformers Prime react to Beast Wars: Transformers

The Trigger (Part II)

"Can't you believe that, Bee? A giant floating island that shoots at anyone firing weapons? I mean, those aliens have gotta want some peace and quiet not letting anyone carrying a small blaster come in to their property."

"Calm your jets Smoke, we hadn't seen who created that island." Ironhide assured.

"I think it must be the same aliens who have created that probe." Bulkhead inquired.

"Oh man, I can't wait to take a vacation in that beauty. I mean, I won't do it without blowing something up!" Warpath claimed sheepishly.

"You'd better not be in that rock kid. I'd hate to be the bot that explains what happened to ya when you're scrap." Ironhide warned Warpath.

"Try me when we get to Earth, grandpa!" Warpath challenged.

"Easy Warpath. We don't know what happened yet with the island." Optimus clarified next. "I hope Airazor and Tigatron can hold out for as much time as possible until reinforcements arrived."

"They'd better. I'd hate to see what Blackarachnia's going to do with that obelisk when she's done with Scorponok." Arcee bluntly stated.

"I'm betting my last two shards that ain't gonna work, Blast Off." Swindle nudged to his comrade.

"If it does, I'm taking them." Both Combaticons agreed with a fist bump.

"That being said and all, Omega Scion, if you may?" Megatron asked to the ancient Cybertronian.

"So be it. Commencing..."

On high ground where nature roams freely as it may, where Tigatron lies in position with a recovering Airazor. There, Tigatron began musing on his thoughts...

"It is as though I have come home. Though my heart is a maximal fluid pump my soul is that of a tiger. And on this strange, flying Island, despite it's weaponry, I at last feel myself at peace."

Then Tigatron glared with ferocity burning in his eyes. "It must not fall into the clutches of the Predacons."

"Hehehe, that sounds familiar." Jetfire spoke. "Like when our best warriors take time to reflect when they're on a job done."

"Yeah..." agreed Silverbolt. "Remember Turnabout? He used to do poetry before."

Air Raid and Jetfire mused on their friend that was the Assault Captain of the Lightning Strike Coalition having led the Coalition to victory against the Seekers in about 10 battles in 90 days. That is before they saw him up meeting his fate at the disintegration cannon, by Vortex, no less. Remembering him at this moment... wasn't the best time.

Meanwhile, Blackarachnia and Scorponok advanced on their own without incident.

"That obelisk seems to be the center of power for this whole place." Blackarachnia mused.

"Then, it is probably guarded." Scorponok suggested.

"Figured that all by yourself, did you?" Blackarachnia teased, then sternly reminded. "Keep your scanners on high res." Then went forward to scan the island for anomalies not native to the island. Until she stops and spots something in the midst.

"Wait! There's something here... some sort of... marking."

The strange symbol eventually glows red, causing the ground underneath Blackarachnia to crumble, and so she fell, but thankfully, the cyberwebbing she quickly made had tethered to the ground and so she pulled up to the surface, to Scorponok's amusement when he caught up to his partner's plight.

Arcee tittered her eyes for a moment.

"Not exactly careful when curiosity eats the cat, does it? I thought so." Knockout commented.
