The Assassin and the Engineer

Team Building Exercise

(This is a rp TheyCallMeLazuli  and I did. It was pretty fun and stuff ^v^ Go check them out on tumblr @cybertronianslut or on ao3 TheyCallMeLazuli !!)

GoldenClaw equipped her rifle onto her back and left her chambers. She was sent on a task by Megatron to scout out a cave filled with various and heavy amounts of energon. It could be useful to the Decepticons. What she didn't know was that someone was sent to the mission with her for further assistance. Call it a 'teamwork-exercise.'

Crossblade poked her head out of her workshop when GoldenClaw passed, and followed behind the menacing femme excitedly. She gripped her trusty spear in one hand and a fistful of energon candies in the other. As she ran to catch up, her grin grew wider and wider.

The femme could hear the tapping of noise behind her and took a sideglance to see it was Crossblade. "What are you doing?" She asked, unaware that they were working as a team. "Shouldn't you be in your little toyshop?"

Crossblade giggled a little and walked a little faster so she was at GoldenClaw's side. "Didn't our lord tell you? We're a team, at least for now." She retracted her blue visor to look up at GoldenClaw, her violet optics bright with anticipation.

"Excuse me?" She looked shocked before narrowing her eyes. "He didn't inform me I was going on this mission with you. You didn't persuade him, did you?" As they talked, they headed to the bridge meant to transport them to the cave.

"Of course not! He asked me to go with you." Crossblade stopped in front on the bridge and placed a hand on her hip. "He said it was 'teamwork practice.' I think he just wanted me off the Nemesis."

Goldenclaw groaned and facepalmed. "At least I'd rather be stuck with you than Starscream. The Spark knows what he would do if he tried to take control of this." She muttered mostly to herself before regaining her composure. Nodding to a subordinate in control of the bridge, it opened up.

She nodded, stepping one foot into the bridge. "He'd probably try to kill you, or he'd try to use you to overthrow Lord Megatron." Crossblade clipped her spear to her hip and popped an energon candy in her mouth. "Well, let's go before Megs shoots at us!" She shot finger guns at GoldenClaw, then jumped through the bridge.

"Either of those would end with him losing his legs." The femme narrowed her eyes at the thought and shook her head. She seriously couldn't believe she was stuck with the unhinged mechanic for this. With that thought in mind, she leaped through the bridge as it transported them to a forest.

"Woah! I didn't know earth flora was so pretty!" Crossblade was already climbing one of the trees, examining the leaves. "Are you seeing this?!" She plucked a leaf and stored it in her subspace, the jumped down from the tree.

"Have you not gotten out of the Nemesis before? 31% of this planet has flora like that." She had to resist the urge to take her rifle and blow Crossblade's head off, but that was masked with annoyance. "If you're done sightseeing, I would want to get this over with already." She didn't have time to admire something so puny and small.

Crossblade nodded, and lowered her visor again. She seemed to be reading the mission information from the screen. "The cave is supposed to be loaded with energon, but Lord Megatron wants us to male sure the Autobots don't have any territory around the cave." She flipped the visor up and pulled her spear out of it's holster.

"I can arrange that." Goldenclaw boasted with poison in her voice while she got her rifle out. The cave was in her sights. "Any life-signs detected?"

Crossblade frowned, the groaned. "Yep. Two Autobots, just inside the cave." She twirled the spear in her hands nervously. "You got a plan?"

Goldenclaw nodded. "Keep yourself out of sight and see who they are. I'll find an angle to take them down quickly." She commanded before holding an arm out to the roof of the cave. A magenta-colored energy rope latched onto the roof before she swung up and climbed out of sight.
