Code of Loyalty (A Drift X OC Fanfic)

Chapter 21 - Let Me Hear Your Battle Cry

A small reckon ship was buzzing with crew members of the Lost Light, waiting to dock on a near by planet. Apparently, Rodimus recruited a few of them for a mission. Ultra Magnus and Drift were going, so she figured, why not? It might help her get her mind off of the incident involving Red Alert. Plus it would give her the opportunity to put all of her training to the ultimate test. 

She was docked in the front section of the smaller ship, where Whirl was rallying a bunch of Autobots to get psyched for the upcoming battle. Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, and Drift were present as well, even Skids who joined in on the rally, but as far as she could tell, everyone else she had known and considered to be friends were in the back section of the shuttle, quiet as a mouse. 

All Hina knew was that they were approaching a planet called Temptoria, and that they were currently in the Argon Nebluae.

"WE KILL CONS! WE KILL CONS!" 

"Can I have your---?" Rodimus began. 

"What do we do?!" Whirl exclaimed. 

"WE WILL CONS!" The Autobots cheered. 

"Hello? Is anyone listening to me?" Rodimus asked. 

"WE WILL CONS!" They cheered once more. 

Hina huffed. That was getting him no where. She whistled loudly before yelling, "SHUT UP!" The Autobots seized their chanting, silencing as they look over in the direction of the four Cybertronians standing before them. "All yours Rodimus." 

"Thank you Hina," The Prime thanked with a cough. "Now perhaps I can finally debrief you." 

"Brief us. You debrief someone after the event, not before. It's okay, don't be embarrassed, we'll all friends here." Skids assured him. 

"Whatever. Ultra Magnus informs me that running through the Lost Light shouting 'Who's up for a fight?' doesn't technically qualify as a 'briefing'." Rodimus replied. 

Hina rolled her optics at the mech. It was kind of funny to see his faceplate as he did said action just a few moments ago back on their main ship. 

"So, here are the whys and the wherefores: In 17 minutes time we're going to land outside the Temptorian Capital, Sensensica, which we now  know has been overrun by the Decepticons. we're here for two reasons. One, we think these particular cons are responsible for kidnapping the Circle Of Light--"

Hina's optics clicked when she heard that term. She had herd it somewhere before... Wait! They were the ones Drift found while escaping termination from Commander Turmoil back in the day. They helped him find the error of his ways. She looked over at the Autobot samurai, his faceplate falling ever so slightly after hearing that. Hina sulked a bit at the sight of her boyfriend like this. Poor Drift...

"--And, the Decepticons have annexed sovereign terrority. That is never a good thing. This is going to be a quick, clean incursion: Get on the ground, get control of the Decepticons stronghold, get the prisoners-and get out. Smiling." Rodimus explained. "All that remains for me to say is..."

Hina felt a nudge on her arm as she looked to see Drift, indicating his helmet towards the young Prime. "Here it comes..."

"Till All Are One!" Rodimus exclaimed. 

Hina chuckled quietly to herself as the rest of the Autobots cheered and celebrated, excited for the battle to come. 

"Hey, are you nervous?" Drift asked, looking over at the femme. 

"Hmm? I guess a little. This is technically my first fight. I guess that one time punching my ex in the nose, and running away from Lockdown doesn't count, does it?" Hina replied, glancing back over at him.
