Sasori had never thought this would happen. Of course, she had pictured it a few times, but she didn't think she'd actually be able to fight Decepticons for real. Actually she was more of a Decepticon fan, but still; she was a giant robot beating up giant robots with another friend of hers being a giant robot, and that, to her, was absolutely amazing, especially since they were kicking some major tailpipe.
"Get behind me!" yelled Darkfin as she raced forward, Sasori following her lead for but a moment. They were being met with semi-heavy blaster fire in the hall they were in, and Darkfin, having the heavier armor, was taking on most of it. However, Darkfin was much slower than the stealth-bot, so when Sasori felt as though it was a good time to split, she took it.
The second she'd run out from behind the Shark-ta-con, the femme got to work and shot straight towards the nearest vehicon, quickly using her katana to cut right through him and others nearby. Meanwhile, Darkfin was practically just body-slamming everyone, though she would fire back at the vehicons who were too far away at the moment. She wasn't a good shot, but she managed; it was normal for them to not be fully acquainted with every new piece of their equipment after all.
"On your left!" Within seconds, Darkfin had shot the vehicon that Sasori had warned her about, the smaller femme giving her a thumbs up with her free hand. "Nice shot!"
"Thanks, though we're not done yet," said the buffer femme as she watched more vehicons run down the halls. "Let's go!"
The bots then both ran towards the Decepticon soldiers, ready to attack and rip them to shreds. However, the Decepticons pulled a surprising move and quickly stopped before turning around and sprinting away from the two femmes, causing both of them to raise their optic ridges.
"Well that's weird," Darkfin remarked, Sasori pulling out some throwing stars before throwing them at the vehicons. Unfortunately, they didn't make much of a mark, much to the femme's disappointment.
"What was that?" questioned the Shark-ta-con, Sasori quickly saying, "It looked cooler in my head okay!"
"Yeah okay- Let's just get out of here. It's obvious that they probably got the order to retreat though, which means that the big guns have been dispatched," said Darkfin with a frown.
In response, Sasori's expression also changed a bit; vehicons had already been surprisingly easy to handle, but both of them knew that fighting any other bot would most certainly result in both femmes getting their afts handed to them, which neither of them wanted, especially when it came to fighting the Decepticons. "We need to move."
"Let's hope the med bay's close by," said Darkfin, only to begin to run forward, following the vehicons for a bit before finally, someone stopped both her and Sasori in their tracks.
He was the very last Decepticon they'd been looking to fight, the one that they both knew would tear them limb from limb if they ever ran into him. The warlord towered right over the two femmes, and he didn't at all seem pleased with them.
"You insolent brats should have waited in your cells," Megatron growled, the blade in his arm suddenly jutting out soon after he'd spoken.
In response, Sasori took a few small steps back while Darkfin flinched, both femmes knowing that they were doomed if they even tried to fight the leader of the Decepticons himself. Unfortunately, Megatron wasn't in the mood for mercy.
Without even giving them a chance to react, Megatron raced forward, the mech heading straight for Darkfin, who attempted to move out of the way. Unfortunately, she wasn't quick enough, and the blade cut right across her chassis armor. Before she could retaliate, the mech struck again, raking his sword through her side before grabbing her arm and tossing her down the corridor as if she weighed nothing. Then came Sasori's attack, an attack that made its mark as one katana made contact with his back. However, it wasn't enough, and soon, the small stealth bot was smacked aside with a yelp.
"You might have been able to best my vehicons, but I am no mere foot-soldier," said the warlord, all while he continued to slowly approach the small femme. Towering above her, he then raised his sword as he stared down at the stealth bot, not at all flinching at the sight of her terrified purple optics. However, before he could deal another blow, an angry voice interrupted him.
"Megatron!" How? Why was she not restrained? Why was she outside of the med bay? And more importantly, who in the Pit decided to let her out? There stood Midnight, her servos cuffed, but she was standing nonetheless, and she looked furious.
"Midnight-!"
"What're you doing to them?!" The femme didn't even bother listening to Knockout's words, though before she could do anything foolish, Soundwave quickly reached out and gripped her arm as if warning her to stay put.
"Soundwave, what is the meaning of this?!" demanded the warlord.
"The meaning of this is the fact that I'm here to stop you from murdering my friends!" the midnight blue femme snapped, only to yelp and growl at Soundwave when she felt a warning shock emanate through her systems.
"And why should I? They have cost me a great deal of foot-soldiers, soldiers that could have gone up against the Autobots!" Megatron snarled, doing his best to intimidate the irritated femme.
"Because those bots right there just took out a bunch of your useless vehicons!" Midnight chastised, though she wasn't done. "Think about it. Two once-human cybertronians took out a bunch of your vehicons despite having never been in a fight before. Not only does it prove that your vehicons are incompetent, but it also proves that these two can stand a greater chance in a fight against Autobots than those vehicons could." It was an interesting point, a point that Megatron actually appreciated, but even then, he still wasn't convinced.
"And yet, when faced against a real challenge, they both proved to be less than sufficient at taking down an enemy."
"Because you're Megatron! You're the leader of the Decepticons, ex-gladiator of Kaon, and one of- if not the only bot who can keep up with Optimus Prime. You're the ultimate challenge!" Midnight wasn't backing down, and even though she knew that she was probably feeding the mech's ego, she couldn't lie; this was all true. "If they- We, were trained to be Decepticons, to fight like Decepticons, and to battle against Autobots, then I can assure you that we won't be as useless as you think we are."
Megatron simply stood there for a moment, looking thoughtful as he stared at Midnight before glancing back down at Sasori. "You're lucky your friend here knows how to talk her way out of punishments," the mech growled, only to turn his attention to Darkfin, who had gotten to her peds but was gripping her stomach-region. "...Knockout, cuff and take them to the med bay. And Soundwave, a word."
After the silver mech finished speaking, Knockout gave a quick, "Yes, Lord Megatron!" before pulling Midnight over and getting to work, only to comm for some vehicons to help assist him in the matter. Even so, the femmes couldn't help but exchange glances as they looked down the hallway, watching as Megatron and his faithful TIC disappeared from around a corner.
They were safe from the warlord's wrath. For now.
