Problems With A 'Day Off'?

Few Days Later

In The Axelon…

At this time, the scene begins to open around the Axelon, as we find many assembled Maximals in the large storage area of the base. After a few days pass since the event Tigatron lost SnowStalker, to where the bots almost lost a good friend. After which, Tigatron saved his friends from a Predacon ambush, & now they must protect both the world they are on & each other. To which the meeting brought in the original crew, Optimus, Rhinox, Cheetor, Rattrap, K-9 & Armordillo, with one plus of the Ex-Pred Dinobot. Followed by Tigatron, Airazor, WolFang, Razorbeast, Snarl, Jackrabbit, Bonecrusher, B'Boom, Dive-Bomb, Claw Jaw, Cybershark, Diver, Gimlet, Sharp Edge, Grizzly-1, Wingblade, Leo, Override, Longrack, Larkshot, Aquarius, Mach Kick, Iron Duke, Auroras, Ivor, Icthyo, & Grimlock to which with his big size, they needed lots of space. Also with them were their human allies, Jeremie, William, Ulrich, Yumi, Sissi, Odd, Aelita & the Gynoid; Artemis.

"Maximals, I called you all here to discuss things of what occurred days ago?" Optimus issued off to start the discussion.

"Ye mean where Chopper-Face got himself nearly handed down by de Preds?" Rattrap waved off in thinking about what happen to old Dinobot.

"GRrrr….It was a Predacon Ambush!" Dinobot snarled off to say this to the rodent's face in starting a problem.

"Yeah, well you were still getting your Processor handed ta ya!" Rattrap remotely stated in how things went, causing Dinobot to growl in getting annoyed by the rat's attitude.

"Oh like you never been in that same state, Cheese-Breath!?" Jackrabbit rolled her eyes to remark how Rattrap also got himself into such cases.

"Please, cease yourselves. Words will not solve this, only action will." Iron Duke came between those here to speak his wise words to calm the situation.

"I think that's the last thing these bots need from tearing each other apart?" Override remotely stated that the term 'action' will just cause those more problems then the ones tossing insults of words.

"I say we set up traps from much of our own territory to help us counterattack any Pred surprises!" Armordillo issued off to say in what they do in countering the enemy by knowing where his set traps lay in wait.

"What of their own trap expert? He can disable yours & use it against us?" Leo pointed in knowing that there was someone on the enemy's side that can disable Armordillo's traps.

"Tis a cowards way to use one's own arsenal against one's own unit. I say we strike when given the opportunity!" Ivor declared off in a knightly way of how they can handle such wicked foes.

"Me Grimlock, like to fight!" Grimlock spoke up in liking that idea very much.

"Hold on there big guy, the enemy isn't all punch & shoot, sometimes they'll try to use planning tactics to catch us." Icthyo explained this to the biggest muscle member they got for his simple brain to follow through.

As the Maximals were in a major discussion, Jeremie's group was nearby in observing the grown-ups having a conversation.

"There they go again? It's been a few days & still, we're not sure what to expect?" Odd shrug off in seeing how the discussion was going, same as before.

"What did you expect, the enemy keeps getting bolder & more underhanded each day?" Ulrich shrug off in knowing how things have been crazy recently.

"Optimus & the others have been nonstop, they're going to wear themselves out." Sissi spoke with concern if the bots will be alright from overworking themselves.

"Agreed. But this is war, it seems that unless it's over, no one can relax." Artemis shook her head in knowing how one can not relax until the battle is over & done for.

"Maybe they still can, I got an idea. Wish me luck." William spoke up in having a sudden idea in what they can do.

"William, what are you…" Jeremie was about to say, but they all watch as William approach the bots to cut in their serious discussion.

"Optimus, may I suggest something?" William requested this chance to speak before the Maximal Commander. "I know that this war has been messing everyone up, but maybe…what you outta have is like a Day Off." He issued off to mention this without a second delay.

"A Day Off?" Jackrabbit repeated that as if finding that…intriguing.

"Oh, why that sounds marvelous! I do feel that this war will ruin one's complexion?" Aquarius exclaimed in thinking that having a Day Off, she could not worry about anything ruining her appearance.

"Is this some kind of 'Joke' your playing at William, because I don't see how it's funny? You expect us to drop everything for this…Day Off, while the enemy is plotting & scheming?" Dive-Bomb sternly stated in debating that the idea was nothing but a foolish action to give the enemy a chance to pounce.

"Chill there Dive-Bomb, the kid's right? Look at us, we're too tight on what the enemy is gonna do next while forgetting our purpose?" Mach Kick spoke in trying to relax the tension here with some sounds of reason.

"We were suppose to be an Exploration Crew, go to distant worlds, study the life, & enjoy it." Rhinox pointed off in what the Axelon Crew were meant to do.

"True, the Beast Wars has made us forget what we were meant to do then fight?" K-9 signed to shake the head in how things have turn out because of the Predacons.

"Many of us were scientist, but this war has changed us? Perhaps we have been looking into fighting too much, & what results we do…effect not just the planet, but the current lifeforms living on it?" Longrack issued off in theorizing what could explain how their current distraction with the war, is effecting them as exploration scientist.

"Then it's settle, lets…" William was about to seal this deal when…

"Not so fast William, I get what your trying to do, & we appreciate it. But unlike us, this is a war between Maximal & Predacon, your roles are supporters & you have no direct contact to be involve in this." Optimus objected to remind William about how the children support their side while not being too much directed with the Predacons attacking them.

"But Optimus, we are involved. The Predacons came after us, and…" William was trying to state how they are already involved, however…

"And it was because you had their main target, Aelita, who is the Key, blending in with your group & every other human being. We're taking precautions, but they only are after her then any of you." Optimus explained that the Predacons want to find & take hold of the Key since she has great power & her appearance makes her blend in with other humans. "I know this hard to accept, but you're children, & while grateful of any assistance, if you become too involve in this war, then our enemies will use you." He explained that if the Maximals make the human children get too involved, their lives will be in greater danger then before.

"But…" William was about to debate more until…

"Your dismiss…" Optimus issued off in cutting the boy's moment to speak done.

William felt silent under pressure in losing the argument, before turning away to join Jeremie's group that saw his disappointed expression.

"Optimus, maybe that was a bit hard on the boy? He meant well." Snarl spoke upon William's defense of the boy meant well.

"Yeah, & maybe some bots can use a little downtime, or maybe a few of us while another bunch helps out on work?" Razorbeast spoke in trying to make a reasonable thought in what to do that might benefit them.

"Hugh…very well, but not every bot, we'll divide who'll have shift hours to fill in & then have those off come in for the next." Optimus signed off in giving into this, but gave a firm order in what he wants everyone to do, one batch will have time off before coming back to give the next batch of bots the time to R&R, etc.

The bots around here were shown expressing different expressions on that thought, but if it'll de-stress them from always thinking about the war, then what do they got to lose.

LOCATION: NORTH AMERICA

At this time, we enter a new area to be seen all around. This was around the North America location, surrounded by mountains & forest, & water rivers & creeks as much as one can see while furthest was like a city & the ocean. But a Warp Gate opens around one general location, away from the public eye before it vanished to drop a few folks off. And on the sight was Jeremy's group with a few Maximals in Beast Mode: Cheetor, Rattrap, Tigatron, Airazor, Razorbeast, Snarl, Jackrabbit, Bonecrusher, B'Boom, Diver, Gimlet, Grizzly-1, Wingblade, Aquarius, Larkshot, Mach Kick, Auroras, Iron Duke, Auroras, Ivor, & Icthyo.

"Well, this place seems peaceful?" Mach Kick stated in where they are, everything seems quite peaceful.

"There's no Predacons in the area, so we might actually just relax?" Larkshot stated as he & Airazor return from having flown around in scouting the place; it's all clear.

"Oh darling, with this nice little water around, I feel fresh as a water daisy." Aquarius stated as she & Icthyo swam around as it was nice for fish beast modes without legs to swim in.

"Alright everyone, enjoy yourselves. We'll have at least a few extra cycles before the next group takes over." Ivor reminded everyone that they can do whatever they like, but when time's up, they need to pack up for the next group to come.

"Heh, at least this rat can enjoy himself without any Preds around." Rattrap smiled off at looking at this place, finding it right up his ally with zero enemy to be found. "Especially the Ex type?" He muttered this under his breath about another 'Pred' who ain't around to cause problems.

"Too bad Dinobot couldn't be hear for your insults, I heard he was gonna throw our some of your junk while you were away?" Jackrabbit shrug off to lightly state what was gossip she overheard.

"Wha! Heeeey!" Rattrap yelped before he got upset in seeing the wise little rabbit try to pull on him.

While that went on, the other Maximals were seen preparing to relax in where they felt comfy. During the moment, Jeremie's group was sitting nearby, but also noticed a sulking William, so they came to check if he's alright.

"Hey William, what's wrong?" Sissi asked in trying to start a conversation.

"Nothing's wrong, I keep telling you guys that?" William pointed off to pretend to say he's fine…but he's not.

"Does it have anything to do about what Optimus said?" Yumi raised an eyebrow in thinking William hasn't gotten over the argument that went off between him & the Maximal Commander.

"Dude, relax…you got what you wanted, isn't that a victory?" Odd smiled off to say this in thinking they got the results of a Day Off for the bots.

"It's not that Odd, its what occurred that makes the difference." Ulrich pointed off that from William's view, Optimus doesn't think of making them anymore involved in Maximal/Predacon events as much as possible.

"Jeremie, Optimus trusts us, right? So why can't we do more in the struggle against the Predacons?" William asked the smart guy here of what they can do to change Optimus mind about them.

"I'm sorry William, but we're more like supporters. We help with moving, testing stuff, machine works, that sorta stuff. The only rare chances is running the base if no bot is around." Jeremie shook his head in not having the answer, they can only do some small support roles with the Maximals then be out in battlefields.

"I get all that, but we should have our own weapons? Like Odd has those Laser Arrows, or Aelita can use her Creativity, what can the rest of us do that don't have that?" William asked off in thinking they should have something that gives them a better chance out on the field when fighting.

"What about use of the Over Vehicles, they help us out. And you guys even brought your Mountain Crawler…?" Aelita asked in recalling those things that help with vehicle travel.

"The V version, we had to improve it so much, well…there was a lot to work into it." Jeremie shrug off in knowing they worked out on the Doom-Buggy so much, it's their fifth time improving it.

"Not to mention William, you, Ulrich, & Yumi have taken lessons in special combat fighting, you just need the precise weapon to aid you?" Artemis spoke in reminding the guy of a skill that he & two others have to fight off enemies.

"Even so, a fan, a sword, won't cut it from a distance of enemy blasters?" William signed to say this in knowing that the Predacons will fight dirty.

"Just ease up a bit, look at the rest…they're having fun?" Odd pointed off that everyone else was about to have a good time.

"Hey Rat-Face, your in my sun spot!" Jackrabbit's voice was heard snapping off.

"Teh, more like yer in MY spot, Long-Ears!" Rattrap's voice was heard retorting back.

"It's not been a few clicks, & they have already begun their own battle?" B'Boom shook his head in seeing that two bots were already about to throw down on their down time.

"Hugh…let us hope even those two can enjoy this Day Off?" Icthyo signed to shake her head, this was gonna be a long day off to get through.

The scene begins to slowly zoom upwards into the peaceful afternoon skies, as birds fly by. Things were about to get interesting, one way or another.

MEANWHILE, AT PREDACON HQ

The scene reveals a certain inner location where right by a monitor screen, the Predacon Fractyl in Robot Mode was busy looking over a worldwide scan of any unusual activities. So far, things seem calm & peaceful for the time being until…There was an instant blink of something that occurred, as if an energy spike related to…a Warp Gate use.

"Hmmm…what's this?" Fractyl leans in to try to type in to figure this out until…

"What news do you have to report?" Popping up behind him, was Megatron in Robot Mode; seeing this unit uncovered something.

"Lord Megatron, I detected a feint trail of a Warp Gate in these coordinates?" Fractyl explained what he has recently discovered to narrow down the search to pinpoint a last known location.

"Hmm….it must be the Maximals? Zoom in & find out what they are doing?" Megatron issued the order in what he wants to know about his enemies.

"Nothing sir, they seem to be…station in one location? There are also other signatures of organics?" Fractyl responded in what he can get from using the equipment.

"Hmmm…is there, nothing else?" Megatron hums a bit in being puzzled about this.

"The scans can't detect?" Fractyl shook the head in not having uncovered anything.

"There must be something of value there, why else would the Maximals send half their group? Get me results, spy on them & have it be reported back if there is anything important to be used!" Megatron gave strict orders to get someone there to figure out what the Maximals are up to.

"Yes, Lord Megatron." Fractyl nods in understanding the order, as he was beginning to type faster to uncover….anything of what the Maximals are up to of their recent acts…within North America.

BACK AROUND NORTH AMERICA

MAXIMAL RELAXING SPOT…

We begin to see how fair the Maximals are at having taken their official Day Off for the time being. And we slowly see how each Maximals is handling their nice day off moment.

"CHARRRRRRGE!" Nearby, Bonecrusher made a battle cry as he charged forth as he was headiong for Razorbeast.

"THEY CALL ME….MISTER PIIIIIIG!" Razorbeast also made a loud battle cry, before charging straight for Bonecrusher.

"POWFRUPMmm…." And lets just say that these two charging head first Maximals knocked the other backwards.

"Congrats fellas, you both skid back 15 feet away." Larkshot spoke from referring the action from above a tree branch.

"Man, who knew these two could hit that hard?" Cheetor replied off in seeing what went off.

"What you expect, they are apart of a charging species?" Mach Kick made a funny joke about their two pals being such types.

"They take this moment to train themselves & hone their skills, I feel like getting in on this as well." B'Boom exclaimed in eagerly wanting to join in without a moments hesitation.

"Relax, we're having our first R&R in almost forever. Trust me, the Diver knows when it's time to dive into a world of relaxing in the water." Diver shrug off his froggy arms to sit in the creek with his other water pals swimming around & enjoying themselves.

"Um, Diver….aren't we like partly Sea Animals, & so we're in the water, a lot?" Gimlet replied off puzzled about the subject as if not following any of the easy frog Maximal's words of advice.

"Ah, this kind of water is so nice….look, it's making my scales all sparkly?" Aquarius smiled in absolutely loving this sort of fresh water feeling.

"Better hope you don't enjoy it too long, we'll have to get back to work soon Little Fish?" Icthyo replied off to lightly comment what the young cadet will have to recall.

"Well I find this spot very relaxing….a perfect place to fish." Auroras stated with eagerness as he swam around, catching some fish in his mouth.

"Wingblade, how's everything above?" Snarl asked from nearby in seeing one flier come down.

"Only a few animals & further down, some human tourist, we should be good." Wingblade hung himself upside-down while reporting what's around their general area.

"Well good, cause the last thing I wanna do is get up & act like a Grizzly Bear & scare them humans away?" Grizzly-1 waved off to say as he leans back against a tree to take a nap.

"But is your Beast Mode not in the form of a Grizzly Bear?" Ivor popped the question in a knightly gentleman's way on the subject.

"Let us simply bath ourselves in all surroundings, & allow our minds to become every lasting peace." Iron Duke spoke these wise words for all the others to enjoy themselves.

"Hey Tigatron, do you wanna walk a bit…see the sights?" Airazor approached Tigatron to offer that they go & explore a bit by walking together.

"I would be glad to accompany you. Shall we…?" Tigatron kindly return the request; as the two bots were walking a bit while passing by Rattrap & Jackrabbit struggling to setup their own wooden tent-shape spots to rest in.

As the Maximals enjoyed hanging around & relaxing while getting cozy, the children were seen collecting firewood. So far, the human children wanted to at least make sure everyone could enjoy themselves without any distractions relating to the war, etc. It was gonna be a nice, peaceful & quiet plan…or so it seem until…

"Hugh…" Aelita suddenly gasped from suddenly going wide eye; as her eyes flashed before picture images are seen in her mind.

"Hmm…Aelita, something wrong?" Jeremie came to check on the girl, to who suddenly regain her senses.

"Jeremie, I sensed something the area & witness something within the landscape, & I found something?" Aelita explained what she could at least make out in her mind.

"What did you find?" Jeremie asked as the other children gather around to hear what's going on.

"Four Stasis Pods, directly to the North, one by the West & one by the East, & two others by the South of our current location." Aelita explained that there were a total of four pods.

"Really, are they active?" Jeremie asked off surprise, as he & the others wondered if…they were just recently activated by an unknown tremor of something.

"No, they haven't been disturbed? I just…sense where they were?" Aelita shook her head in puzzlement, as if trying to understand her own abilities while learning that the four pods are still inactive.

"Well this'll be great, on top of getting a Day Off, we'll get four more buds." Odd smiled off in seeing this was a swell thing to happen.

"We should tell the others about this?" Ulrich stated in what they should do next, report their findings.

"Wait, I got a better idea. Lets find them on our own." William spoke up to make this suggestion of what they can do on their own.

"Um, you do know, that we might not be the only ones looking?" Yumi raised an eyebrow to remind the guy, that besides them & the Maximals, the Predacons are seeking out pods to increase their growing numbers.

"But Aelita said they were un-active pods, which means if nothing happened that both Maximal or Predacon instruments detected, gives us a fair shot. Besides, they don't know we're here on anything important?" William explained that this was a chance, if the pods have yet to be isolated on activation, then they can find them themselves.

"Well, they probably just ignore us & go after the others…but are you sure? Artemis maybe in disguise, but Aelita's pink hair stands out?" Sissi pointed out that the Predacons ignore their group if Aelita was not their important prime target.

"Do you happen to have some hair spray color?" William asked Sissi a strange question.

"Well yes, but…" Sissi shows a can of hair spray for a light blue color, but…

"Then that should make them not bother with a couple of normal humans. Plus, we won't ruin the bots finally having some down time. Come on, this'll prove to Optimus that we can handle this by ourselves." William explained that if they disguise Aelita, they can fool the enemy to think the Key isn't with them, & prove themselves of what they can do without the Maximals.

The others were somewhat uncertain, but felt that maybe William is right, they need to prove themselves. And if they bother the Maximals relaxing now, they may as well feel like work followed them. So hearing what Aelita managed to figure out & know certain landmarks, they would split up to find the pods. But as the children split up, they were unaware of two CyberBees buzzing in the area, as they were recording everything to the Predacon owners: Scorponok & Double Punch.

"Four Stasis Pods, so that's what they came here for. Looks like we just hit pay dirt." Double Punch smiled off in seeing that they just came across some interesting information.

"Scorponok to base. We have something to report. And you'll never guess what else is here." Scorponok held up his right claw wrist to speak in the com-link; reporting on their discovery.

SOUTHSIDE GROUP

The scene changes to the south most area of the North America site. There was something of a small rescue animal site, where there were animals kept in kennels to keep them from escaping, but to help treat those injured or sick. Appearing on the sight, were Yumi, Ulrich, & Jeremie, as they were checking from behind the bushes, as they found two men in uniforms packing up some animals to be haul out.

"This here's the last one to be return to the wild." A station man stated from finishing a round while getting into the vehicle.

"We still got a few others, but give them time. Right now, lets hurry up & get back soon." The second station man issued to mention what they gotta do next here.

The two men finished before they were driving off in their large wagon vehicle. As they left, the children began to sneak in to notice that what they overheard was true; no one was here except for a few animals.

"Well….this certainly seems like an odd place to find pods?" Yumi stated in how this was gonna be strange to do their search.

"I program this device to detect any Cybertronian tech, if there's some around, we'll find it?" Jeremie pointed off to reveal his device to help locate what they need to seek.

"Lets hope so, cause I think we'll need to get them out before anyone else sees them or the pods." Ulrich pointed off in knowing if they find the pods, they can't have them be around when those workmen return.

The group quickly enters the wooden log building, which many of the animals made loud noises; but no one was around for miles to hear. After searching, the three exit to feel like they were not finding anything…until they came across one spot near.

"Wait, I think I found something…below us." Jeremie pointed off in where his device was reacting to beneath their feet by a basement door shack.

"The basement, or below the basement?" Ulrich asked off in where to even begin going off.

"Guess we're gonna have to find out?" Yumi shrug off to say this in how to deal with this.

The children opened the basement shack, & quickly went in to find that it was mostly ruffle dirt & there were wooden boards for supples to be station. But as the children came to a spot by where their device detected Cybertronian tech, they dug until they finally struck…in simple terms: Pay-Dirt.

"Hey, I found something?" Ulrich stated in having found what they came to seek; the pods.

"Woah….if this place wasn't made by old log-men, then anyone could have uncovered them & be freaked out?" Yumi stated in what would have happen if someone dug beneath this spot much further; the reaction would have hit the roof.

"Now we gotta try to bring in the Crawler V, & haul them out of here. Come on, there's a backdoor shaft that'll lead outside." Jeremie

Jeremie's group quickly was leaving to plan to tow the pods out. But unknown to them, someone in strealth mode reappeared to reveal himself to be…Shadow Panther. The Predacon looked up & then back at the pods with a sly smile.

"Thank you for the effort, children. But you were careless…when you get back…you'll find more surprises in store?" Shadow Panther issued off to say this as he held up two chips in hand, as the scene goes dark in what was about to happen next here…

NORTHEAST GROUP

The next scene opens around a wide dirt plain, as all spots are block by towering trees. Entering this area, was Aelita & Odd, as they rode on the Over Board, before stopping to look around. They found what looks to be some left behind construction equipment, as if something was being digged here.

"Dig this, you think they discovered the pod, but left it?" Odd asked a question of what they have stubble across.

"No, not exactly, but…there is something my Creativity can zoom in to find…a dinosaur fossil?" Aelita spoke in using her focus to digitally picture….dinosaur fossils & a pod within the same area.

"Great, looks like we'll undercover two discovers, a fossil & a pod. So, where's the second prize?" Odd asked off in liking to know if the site had a dinosaur fossil, then where is it & the pod.

"Give me a moment, I'll focus…" Aelita stated as she focused her harmonic voice, as her digital search revealed an image of…locations by an ecological mapping grid. "It's almost directly beneath the fossil?" Aelita stated in having discovered that the next pod, is beneath the dinosaur bones.

"So, do we dig the old fashion way or what?" Odd asked in how they will get this job done.

"I was thinking something to quicken the job?" Aelita made a sly smile in having an easier answer for that question.

Wasn't long as Aelita began to unleash more of her harmonic 'Aaaahhhh' voice, as the ground became digital. The digital surface began to vanish while making it easier for walking distance before the finished work was all done for those to see it. There, the children uncovered two things; the fossils of a Spinosaurus dinosaur, & underneath the belly, the Stasis Pod.

"Well that was easy, & we did it all without any…" Odd smiled off to begin saying as they approach the site when…

"Freeze!" Just then without warning, Double Punch was seen on the sight above along with a few other Predacons: Buzz Saw, Sling, & Sky-Byte.

"Hugh!" Aelita gasped in what they saw had them in their sight.

"Trouble…?" Odd finished that statement while looking like a deer in the headlights.

"So, the Maximals came here to find pods….just as Shadow Panther told us?" Buzz Saw stated in seeing their enemies came looking for pods.

"But how'd they come across un-activated pods our scans didn't detect?" Sling asked a puzzling question that was hard to make logical sense.

"It appears the answer is simple, the Key is here…just as before, she can find the pods even when unactive." Sky-Byte pointed off a logical view on how with Aelita, she could have lead those to unactive pods.

"Hey Aelita, when I say now….put up some barrier?" Odd whispered this to the girl in having a plan.

"Okay…" Aelita whispered back in getting herself ready, and…

"NOW!" Odd yelled out suddenly in giving out the signal very quickly.

Without warning, Aelita quickly used her powers to form a digital structure form of the Earth as a dome to protect their spot. The Predacons began hammering down their attacks to weaken the protection.

NORTHWEST GROUP

The next sight is of a tall hill spot, where William & Sissi were following up a device Jeremie gave them. Now they walked up further upwards until the device lead them almost to the edge.

"William, are you sure this is the right spot?" Sissi asked in having doubts of where they been lead to.

"Oh course I'm sure, Jeremie's device wouldn't stray us off." William replied off in confidence of where they been lead to.

"Well unless the pod is off a cliff, then we've hit a dead end." Sissi pointed off that the way one sees it, they walk any further out, they fall off the cliff's edge.

"Hmmm….maybe not? The readouts say, it's below us…but…what if it's not down OFF the cliff, but rather, IN, the cliff." William pondered to think of where they stood to believe that maybe, the answer was just beneath their feet.

"You do realize that if we dig too deep, we could break off this entire section?" Sissi raised an eyebrow in reminding William of digging off the edge of a cliff, will result in it falling off from gravity & weight.

"Well lets find out, shall we?" William shrug off in thinking they'll learn about that as they move along with the digging materials he has on him

Soon using some digging materials, Sissi & William began to do the work. While something was seen hidden behind some plant bushes, as if watching to bide their time.

MEANWHILE,

BACK AT THE AXELON

The scene begins to open around the Command Center, as we spot some Maximals working while other things were on the mind.

"Optimus, was it really wise to divide our forces?" Dive-Bomb asked in being bothered about this whole 'Day Off' thing.

"Sometimes, I'm not sure who we are anymore. Most of our crew were scientist & a few volunteers of young cadets & old retired veterans." Optimus signed to say this while knowing of who they were before being dragged into the Beast Wars.

"Right, Grimlock's living proof of that." K-9 pointed off that the one bot that fought in the Great War, is aboard the Axelon.

"Speaking of which, where is he?" Wolfang asked in being curious of what Grimlock was doing.

"Grimlock's helping setup a few things with Longrack." Leo pointed off in what Grimlock was doing at this very moment.

"Beep-beep, beep…/Attention. Predacon Energy Signature detected." Suddenly without warning, Sentinel's voice was heard in alerting the crew of Predacon activity.

"So much for a peaceful afternoon?" Override signed in having heard this unpleasant news.

"Location." Optimus asked the system of where the enemy was active.

"Vector C-91." Sentinel's voice was heard narrowing down the coordinates.

"What! But that's where the children & half our group have gone?" Dive-Bomb exclaimed in shock in having to hear something like that out of the blue.

"Contact them & warn them of Predacons in the area. If they learn Aelita's there, then there's no telling what will happen." Optimus issued the order to alert the other Maximals of the danger that's near, posthaste.

The Maximals in the room were quickly getting to work, as some were leaving to get ready to head off. The scene begins to darken, as much was about to happen here…

BACK AT THE SOUTH GROUP

The scene opens around the time we find Ulrich & Yumi having attach grappler cables to the Mountain Crawler V, as Jeremie was hosting them up from the cabinet's basement doorway.

"Okay guys, all that's left is to set them on the cart & we can head on out." Jeremie issued off in how he's ready on his end.

"Why, can't we just activate the pods & get going with more extra help?" Ulrich asked the main question of why they can't just turn the pods on now.

"Ulrich's right Jeremie, the people that work in this rescue opt aren't back, & it won't be they'll see anything?" Yumi pointed off that they could have done the work faster this way.

"Well, I suppose so…but lets check the pods to make sure there's nothing wrong." Jeremie issued off in just being extra safe then sorry.

Jeremie got out of the dune-buggy once they managed to haul the pods onto the large cart to hold the two. Ulrich & Yumi came to be near Jeremie in checking the pods compartment functions in showing the Protoforms health.

"Protoforms seem to be functioning, all that's left is to check the Locking Chips." Jeremie stated in knowing what was left for them to do now.

"Beep-beep, beep! Delay DNA Replication Scanner Now Activating. Scanning For Lifeforms." The male computer voices from the pods was heard, alerting the children of a delay reaction was set in motion.

"Wait, hugh? Did you guys setup a delay replication scanning?" Jeremie yelped in what was happening all of a sudden.

"Don''t look at us, we went with you, remember?" Ulrich pointed off on his defense of this accusation.

"Guys, look. These Locking Chips, they're…" Yumi noticed something off about the chips, but she was cut off…

"Precadon Locking Chips, precisely." Then appearing out of nowhere, was the stealth bot of the Predacons, it was…

"Shadow Panther!?" The three children responded in union of who was before them.

"Thank you for doing the hard work, now to bear witness the next soldiers into the Predacon army." Shadow Panther smiled off in having those witness the next Predacons to stand before all.

Then without warning or before anyone could stop what was happening, the two DNA Scanner Waves were unleashed, energy rays zipped across the entire. Then at that time, two animals by the rescue site were scanned, & the pods began accessing the professing of configuring new Beast Modes. Then the children yelped as not only smoke escaped, but bright lights also blinded them before two things leaped out. While one landed on the ground with reflexes & balance, the other one made a loud 'thud' stomp sound, as if sounding like a heavy creature. The children stared in fright, for as the two creatures were turning around to look back at them, the first was a bobcat with yellow fur & light brown spots, followed by yellow color eyes, & the second one was a large size brown walrus with yellow strands of hair around the muzzle & long sharp tusk, & brown color eyes.

"Well now, these modes will be quite nice. Now dear Predacons….it's time we begun the hunt. Show me what you can do against these children." Shadow Panther announced forth in wanting to see, what these new Predacons are capable of.

"Raid Jango – TERRORIZE!" The bobcat spoke with a wild snarling sound of a beast who's deadly to come across. Then he was seen transforming after speaking his activation code to go from Beast Mode, to Robot Mode. (He appears like a tall physically thin muscle bot with much of his features of his Beast Mode seen to describe his look. The bobcat fur & spots are seen on the ankles to the knee area, the wrist, the waist, & the chest-plate. He shows a light-purple exoskeleton frame of his legs, stomach, arms, & neck. The boots were the claps bobcat back paws, white knee pad-plates with an emerald center piece, on the back bottom ankle joints were purple sharp metal crescent blades, light-purple hands that had red color four fingers with sharp nails, plus a white wrist blast compartment on both hands, a sphere shoulder pad with white crescent marks. From the back was a dark blue thruster-like booster with two crescent metal plates on the top. The final notice feature was the face matching that of the Bobcat Beast Mode, only in a more anthropomorphic metallic humanoid; with bolts over the eyes, an emerald glass piece on the forehead, gear pieces on the cheek sides to match the white color of metal bobcat mouth, plus white mark style over the narrow eyes that showed cat-eyes in a red color as the optic eyeballs while the background was all yellow, follow lastly three metal blades from the left, right & below the mouth as if appearing like a mustache & beard. In the simple view of him, he appears like bobcat anthropomorphic, but more robot-like, & not to friendly to boot.

"Rime Walrus – TERORIZE!" The walrus spoke up with a tough Texas-like accent, sounding like a muscle guy that's tough to oppose. That's when after having spoken his activation code, he lets off a loud walrus roar while transforming from Beast Mode to his Robot Mode. (He appears like big, muscular-looking bot with plenty of his Beast Mode features to be described. In the same style as Rhinox, but differently due to the walrus type of his Beast Mode seen. A hulking blue-white humanoid robot from where the legs & arms are seen, the front flipper arms became the bulky boots on the steel-toe locations, the rest of the body was moved up to the bulk-up chest with a few metallic robot features, plus bulky shoulder pad with tusk spikes, & bulky gauntlets with spike knuckles on his big hands. Lastly was the helmet style like a native head-set of a walrus head with tusk down the front, & the face was of a veteran old older with beaky emerald eyes. If there was one thing to describe this type of character, it's that he's big, & MEAN Looking to put the hurt on someone.

"Looks like we just gave the enemy some real nasty pieces of work?" Yumi stated in witnessing what they just handed the enemy.

"Well Einstein, what now?" Ulrich asked in seeing it's them against some nasty looking enemies.

"We have to warn the others. Come on!" Jeremie issued off in what only choices they have left.

At a moment, Jeremie climbed into the driver spot, punch the metal as Ulrich & Yumi got on before the dune-buggy was racing off the site with the two empty pods.

"Go after them….the others should be acquiring the next two pods as we speak." Shadow Panther issued the order in what he wants those here to do, go after their targets, etc.

Without warning, the new Predacons were seen charging to go after the targets. Shadow Panther was seen activating his com-link, preparing to get access back to base of this new discovery & event.

BACK WITH THE NORTHWEST GROUP

The scene opens to where William & Sissi were finally able to have dug up almost enough of the cliff's edge, but not too much to have only pull the buried pod upwards. Now the two sign with relief, it was a lot of work, but they done it.

"I can't believe you were right William, there really was a pod deep within the edge of this cliff?" Sissi stated in being surprised in what they just managed to accomplish.

"Just wait till Optimus gets a word of this, there were four pods in the area we came to relax in, & with this…I'm sure he'll have more confidence in us of our work." William boast a bit with pride & confidence that at this rate, Optimus will see they can help out more.

"Oh don't worry, we're very grateful for your efforts!" Suddenly, a voice was heard from behind, as if answering a question William had.

That's when William & Sissi turn to suddenly find themselves not alone. For entering on the bottom cliff spot, were three Predacons in Robot Modes: Waspinator, Scorponok, & the one who spoke, Iguanas.

"Waspinator, Scorponok…and…Iguanas?" William raised an eyebrow in seeing who was here on the spot.

"In the flesh…hahaaahh…" Iguanas exclaimed to say with a twisted laugh at surprising the human kids.

"Megatron will be very grateful when we bring to him more Predacons to aid in his glories' name." Scorponok issued off this claim of how they shall take the prize before them for the Predacon name & their leader's glory. "Now move away from the pod before we annihilate you both where you stand." He issued the order as he aims his missile launcher claw at the two humans.

"Yezzz….fleshy-bots are caught between a cliff & a hard place. Nurhhuhaaahhh…" Waspinator giggled off in seeing that the children have no way out.

"There's no way we're gonnna just step aside & watch you turn this Maximal into one of you!" William stands up to stand between the Predacons path & the pod.

But of course, that caused the Predacons to laugh at William's expense of trying to get in their way.

"Somehow William, I don't think they're taking your threat serious?" Sissi rolled her eyes in guessing the enemy won't take threats from children that seriously if they can't stop the bad guys.

"Hah-hah….your either very brave for a human or very foolish!" Iguanas mocked off in seeing what William was trying to do, it was funny.

"Guhahahaha….Wazzpinator believe it to be the latter one." Waspinator chuckled off in stating his own thought on the idea.

"Face it kid, you're at the disadvantage in numbers & firepower while cornered to a cliff behind you." Scorponok explained the basic motion of someone about to lose here.

"William, I hope you have a Plan B to get us out of this?" Sissi muttered to the guy in having another way to get them out of this sticky situation.

William had to look at the situation, for knowing that he was caught between a rock & a hard place. Over the cliff was rough waters, to which unless there was a raft to float them to safety, it looked like there was no way out other then taking a big plunge then being caught.

"What we'll do is crazy, but looks like we have no choice?" William looked back in showing that determination of not about to give up the fight just yet.

"So your choosing to stand & die trying, difficulty as that'll be without your Maximal pals…but try to impress us even a little?" Iguanas spoke off to William with a little praise in what the boy can do without any Maximal help.

"Well for one thing, we're not giving up or surrendering the pod. If we can't get over, then we'll just head down." William issued off to say this in knowing what he's gonna have to do.

Then without warning, William had the shovel in his hand, & jabbed it around the weak point of the cliff. That in turn caused cracks to form

"Wha-What! No….Stop Them!?" Scorponok yelped in seeing that before ordering to stop the human from escaping.

Then as the Predacons were rushing up to catch those trying to plunge, William threw his shovel right between Scorponok & Iguanas' legs to trip them & knock Waspinator down. That gave enough time that the entire cliff portion broke off as it descended downwards with William & Sissi holding onto the pod.

"William, Are You Crazy!" Sissi yelled off in seeing what the boy went & did without warning.

"Crazy or not, lets just hope that Stasis Pods can float while keeping them safe from the enemy." William replied off in what he's at least hoping for when they hit the bottom with a river water. "For now, lets see if Rhinox's instructions to help activate this thing is on the spot." The guy reached for the control compartment to try to activate the pod.

"You better work fast, cause we're coming awfully close to the rapid waters!" Sissi pointed off in seeing how close they are approaching water.

"Oh boy, I hope we get a Beast Mode that'll get us out of this pickle!" William signed to pray that something good will come out of this.

The two children scream as they continued to fall to the river water, as William punch in the last input codes to activate the pod. But soon they impacted against the river,. & Sissi & William managed to hold out long enough to grip the top, as the water was not swallow that they drift down stream. As the Predacons were seen trying to find another route, the pod was seen becoming active to slowly begin….it's DNA Scanner.

BACK WITH THE NORTHEAST GROUP

Right now, Aelita & Odd were being pin down by Predacon attackers: Double Punch, Sling, Buzz Saw & Sky-Byte. The heavy fire power was about to breach the stone dome's layers at any minute unless a plan to turn the tide happens soon. Fortunately, Odd tried to provide Laser Arrow cover fire & his Shield ability, while Aelita worked on the pod in inputting some codes.

"That dome won't hold against these attacks for long." Sling stated in seeing they will destroy the final defense.

"Aelita, I think it maybe about time we called in some new help?" Odd stated in noticing it's time to pull out their little surprise.

"If I remember, Dinobot said this program could take even the fossils & recreate a living creature. Lets just hope one new friend can turn this battle." Aelita stated in hoping that whoever they bring in will be able to help them against the Predacons here.

"Well, one will never know, right?" Odd simply shrug off in knowing they won't know until they try.

"Keep blasting, that little defense of hers can't hold out forever." Double Punch issued in seeing that they will breach that stone dome & they will have their targets.

"Scanning For Lifeforms…" Just then, the pod's male voice computer is heard making this…statement for all to hear.

Then without warning, the bright energy wave rays appeared, as it was scanning for any animal life-forms around the area.

"YIIIIKES! The pod's become active!" Sky-Byte yelped in witnessing that the two children have activated the pod before they could reprogram the Protoform.

"I check the area, there isn't a creature alive for miles of the reach." Buzz Saw stated that unless the Protoform gets a Beast Mode, it won't become active.

Suddenly, the energy waves began to shrink back to the site, & something was happening. Lots of banging sounds were heard, before a bright flash happened that blinded the Predacons while the last of Aelita's stone barrier broke. Then seen coming out of the pod, was a new creature for all to see. It was a Spinosaurus with grey scales on the body, a purple-violet marking trail on the top from the head to the tail, light-turquoise scales on the sail-like fin on it's back, & yellow eyes. The creature stood tall while looking around at the two children to the enemies above their spot.

"Alright Aelita, looks like it worked." Odd smiled in seeing that their plan worked out better then they hoped for.

"Sky-Byte, you're in-charge, what do we do now?" Sling asked in not knowing how to deal with this sudden change of over advantage to just a slight advantage.

"Well we can start by not gawking, & just blast him!" Sky-Byte gave the order that they'll just blast the problem away.

"Drifter – MAXIMIZE!" The new Spinosaurus spoke his activation code while sounding, like a dedicated & honorable man. Then with a mighty roar, he transformed from Beast Mode, to his Robot Mode. He appears like a tall adult male bot, but he does show some physical features of his Beast Mode that can be described. The main dinosaur legs stay in place but from the feet to knee area, with a slight bulk armor-plate exoskeleton structure on the ankles, the main upper body turns to form the chest with the head facing the right shoulder outward & the tail facing the left shoulder outward. The parts seen are the black exoskeleton frame from the legs to the stomach which around the waist is an armor plate of the Beast Mode's color theme, & lastly the arms are black with the four fingers. The helmet for the head is purple-violet, but shaped like a samurai's helmet with a light-turquoise crescent moon-shape on it, a red visor for the optic eyes, & a silver metallic mouth & nose beneath the visor. In the truth of it all, he practically looks like a samurai of the robotic age.

"Wow, a samurai theme Maximal, who knew?" Odd replied off in having seen what they just picked up here.

"Strange scenery, many faces tell different stories. As such, only one can pierce the pages, to know another's story." Drifter place his hands together & made a hand sign while speaking in some strange sentence vers.

"Hey, what the heck is he talking about?" Sling asked off in not following what the new guy was talking about.

"I'm phrasing what is called; a Haiku." Drifter explained the brief case of what he did just now.

"Yeah, well here's our own Haiku. When you see an enemy, you take them out!" Double Punch issued off to say this in seeing they get by….by blasting away.

Then without warning, Drifter took out his katana blades, & position himself in a crouching stance before…he performed a shocking feat. Drifter dashed across one side to strike down Sling in a blue blur motion. Then he did the same thing to other close by enemies, he stroke down Double Punch & Buzz Saw with such fast dashing reflexes, they couldn't hit him. Sky-Byte yelped in seeing a Maximal move that fast, before Drifter attacked him in the same motion that knocked the shark-bot right into the air, & then he fell down in a body slam motion on the ground. Drifter slowly reshealth his weapons & clasps his hands as if performing a meditation action.

"Oh my…" Aelita lightly gasped in having witness such an astonishing feat.

"It would seem you need more training, to understand the nature of one's self…& how to make, a Haku." Drifter shelf his weapons in expressing his own well-manner claim on the topic of the fallen foes.

"Um, okay…?" Odd rubbed his head from being puzzled by what just happened, & how with that last statement he heard. "So, Drifter right, good to have you aboard." Odd smiled off in welcoming the newest addition to their team.

"I am grateful to make your acquaintance, young friends. Do tell me, if there was a reason for the danger?" Drifter responded forth with both an answer & then a question response to the matter of the situation.

"We'll fill you in, right now…I'm worried about Jeremie & the others? If we got attack, then so have our friends." Aelita stated that they best hold off anything until they can be sure, everyone else was alright.

Odd understood, as he & Aelita rode on the Over Board, as Drifter was seen dashing across with graceful movement befitting his samurai appearance. Sky-Byte was seen aching from the pain he was given, & called in for assistance pickup, as they were down & targets…escaped.

THE MAXIMAL CAMP SITE

We return to see how the Maximals are enjoying themselves, & it certainly is as it was before. Right now, Rattrap & Jackrabbit have quiet down to rest under a tree, Tigatron & Airazor had return from their little walk trip, & everyone else was still just lying about, on the ground or in the water, or resting on branches. The only one left to help them relax & keep the disappearance of Jeremie's group was Artemis, as she remain to help keep their motion of locating new pods a surprise for the tired out Maximals.

"Finally, there's a little bit of peace, & quiet." Rattrap stretched his arms in feeling like his downtime…can finally be enjoyed.

"And without your nagging too." Jackrabbit stated to say in also lying back to enjoy herself.

"POWFruvhmmm…" Then Bonecrusher & Razorbeast did another head bashing thing that pushed the other backwards & knock off more trees or boulders, etc.

"Best 19 out of 38?" Bonecrusher asked off in seeing they are keeping score.

"Your on! Lets do it!" Razorbeast responded off in liking to push one until one of them gets more points.

"Do they ever stop?" Aquarius signed in seeing those two continue to headbutt so many times.

"Some bots just love to headbutt, just don't let it bother you." Icthyo smiled off to comment the topic while seeing it's a subject, best not to distract one's self.

"Beep-beep!/Maximals, come in!" At that time, something was heard on the com-links, making everyone recognize Optimus' voice contacting them.

"This is Snarl, reporting." Snarl reported into his com-link in what was happening.

"Snarl, there are Predacons in the area, stay alert & make sure the children are with you." Optimus' voice gave the warning & caution advice to be ware of nearby enemy.

"Ugh…Jeremie's group…?" Wingblade yelped a bit while not giving out that they have yet to see the human children at all.

"You got it Big Bot, we're on it!" Cheetor proclaimed to wrap up the conversation of doing as requested; at that time, the com-links were silent after that discussion.

"So much for relaxing?" Mach Kick shrug off in seeing their Day Off has ended a lot sooner then expected.

"If the enemy is near, then we must venture off to find our friends without delay!" B'Boom stood up in deciding that they are needed & can't waste time.

"Boom-Boom…." But then without warning, loud explosions are heard off sight which earns everyone's attention to notice….moving from the trees.

"Looks like they found us?" Diver stated in noticing what they have coming at them.

"I think I see Jeremie, Ulrich & Yumi rushing in their dune buggy?" Gimlet pointed off in who has arrived now, their human pals.

"They appear to have unknown enemies approaching them?" Ivor spoke in noticing two different bots chasing after the children.

"They need assistance. Let us give aid." Iron Duke proclaimed forth in about to go into battle here.

Soon the Maximals transform into Robot Mode, & they began to counterattack by blasting their weapons. The shots missed the escaping children while forcing the two new Preds to cease the chase, & gaze at who was intervening their pursuit of targets.

"Grrroorrr….Maximals, you think you can stop us?" Raid Jango snarled off in seeing that some bots were getting in their way.

"The only ones to be destroyed here, are gonna be you!" Rime Walrus cracked his knuckles in about to break something here.

"We shall see fowl villains, to arms!" Ivor declared forth announced forth in seeing they will decide things, after they fight.

Soon the Maximals were seen charging to prepare their fight against the new Predacons. But also around the bushes were more Predacons, as they were about to come out to intervene as well. This was gonna be harder then anyone expects, but only time will tell what happens next…

BACK AROUND WILLIAM'S GROUP?

The scene opens to where William & Sissi were seen washed near the land from flowing down the river stream with the pod. The two began to awake while noticing that they were on the close creek shore, & the pod was nearby.

"Ugh….are we alive?" William groans in trying to get himself together in what happened.

"Ugh, right now…I'm not sure?" Sissi held her head to moan, that was too close a call.

"Ugh…the pod…gotta check on it? Before the enemy…shows up?" William pushed himself up to try to reach the pod, to check if everything was ready.

"Oh, don't get up on our account." Spoke a voice the children yelp, before hearing loud Robot Mode boots stomping towards them to see it was… "We'll just let ourselves in?" Megatron exclaimed to mention as he, Waspinator, Scorponok & Iguanas were on the scene.

"Megatron?" Sissi yelped in seeing that someone majorly bad was here.

"Hahahahah, surprise…we simply narrow down the water current's flow to discover where you likely stop." Iguanas chuckled off in stating how they got here, using a Warp Gate in the process helped in learning where the pod ended up.

"Yezzzz….now the pod izzzz ours….gehehehhhh…" Waspinator giggled off in seeing this was their chance to score big.

"Like I'm gonna sit still & let you do that!" William protest off in not letting the enemy have the pod.

"Ah-ah, ah…" Scorponok waved off his right claw as he pointed it off, missiles seen at…Sissi. "Wouldn't want your friend there to get hurt cause of you?" He issued off to threaten to hurt the guy's friend if he disobeys.

"Gulp…" Sissi swallowed hard in not liking this.

"Grrr…" William growled under his breath, he can't endanger another's life if not his own.

"Ah, the simplicity of out-witting the simpleminded." Megatron commented with a sly smile in seeing who has the bigger win here. "Now stand aside, as I will reprogram the Maximal Protoform inside….into a Predacon." As he spoke that off, Megatron, Waspinator & Iguanas went to the pod to claim their prize.

"William, did you finish inputting the command?" Sissi whispered this out in liking to know if the guy managed to complete that code input he did when they fell.

"I'm not sure, doing that while about to hit water kinda knocks the wind out of one's sail?" William silently muttered back in not having a clue, everything happened so fast.

"No talking. And look here so I can see you!" Scorponok threated the two to keep their eyes straight on him & not whisper anything funny.

"Now….OPEN THE POD!" Megatron yelled forth Waspinator was using his optic mini-beams to slowly force open the hatch of the pod. Finally, it went through as it was opening for many to see, until….

"HUGH!?" Iguanas made a loud gasp in what he saw.

"WHAAAAAAT!" Megatron yelled off in what he was seeing before him, it was… "It's Empty?" As Megatron said, the pod was in truth; empty of it's Protoform.

"That can't be, those children were about to get it online before we stepped in, so how…?" Iguanas pondered off in how these two children even accomplished such a feat on such a scale.

"Yes…it worked." William silently cheered in seeing they saved the Protoform by getting it activated.

"Grrr…." Megatron growls under his tone, as this surprise was not to his liking. "I thought you were merely one human aiding your smart friend in protecting the Key from me, but it appears I misjudge you? Now TALK!" He glared at William in seeing that he's had some hand with this, & will get the answer out of him. "Where…is the Maximal!" He snapped forth in wanting to know, where the active Maximal was.

"We don't know!? We were unconscious before waking up just now?" Sissi stated on their defense on not knowing.

"Oh really, then how did it just disappear during your mid-fall?" Scorponok remotely asked how the Protoform vanished during a mid-fall off a cliff.

"Wait a minute…this was exactly what happened when Tigatron appeared?" Megatron spoke off in realizing that, the Maximal maybe hiding nearby just like a previous experience. "Predacons, search this field! The Maximal is near!" He gave the order for all his troops here to search, as they did & found so far nothing until…

"Hugh?...Ohhhh, Wazzpinator found creature, izz it Maximal?" Waspinator lightly yelped in seeing something by the bushes, & thinks it's the target.

Iguanas came to check on Waspinator's find, only to go from please, to disappointment of what they discovered. It was a tan color lynx with black spots & tips, a white furry mouth, & yellow eyes.) The creature looked almost harmless, & was rest resting in the spot.

"Are your bug-eyes bugged out? You expect a Maximal to come out looking like some hairball?" Iguanas remotely stated that Waspinator must have misjudge, what kind of Beast Mode gives one to look like a lynx that was napping. "But since I dealt with a pesky fembot as a bunny, lets kill it anyway." He issued off in knowing what he experience with Jackrabbit, he won't be caught off & just destroy the creature.

But during the moment, the lynx glared at the two, & then pounced on them; knocking Iguanas & Waspinator down. Everyone saw that, as the creature began to show signs of being…more then it seemed.

"Lynxa – MAXIMIZE!" The lynx spoke with a female's eager voice of announcing her activation code. Followed by a feline's growl, she transform from Beast Mode to Robot Mode for all to see. She appears like a young adult bot, with a few physical features of her Beast Mode that can be described, but more unique. The exoskeleton of the robot body was silver-white for the steel-toes, the legs, the stomach, arms, & the neck, while much the ankle to knees, waist, chest to the elbows then to the hands were all lynx tan color with some mental structured parts. She wears a futuristic lynx-head feature style helmet with edge sides like an explorer, & a light-screen visor that can lower down when she wants to, & her face was silver with blue optic eyes. On her chest was the Maximal logo, stating of who she is, a Maximal. There is also a gold chaise in the right ear as some sort of accessory. On the outside, some could almost say she's the cat's 'Meow', & while she maybe friendly to some, she can be feral to her enemies.

William & Sissi were surprised at first, but that was just the beginning. For the new fembot brought out a lynx color blaster to fire a few laser rounds & carried a lynx head-grenade launcher that fired a few grenades that in mere seconds, created a large field explosion on where they landed; right by the Predacons.

"WAAAaughhh!/GRRUUAaarugh!/NEEezzzz…" Scorponok, Iguanas, & Waspinator were being bombarded with a lot of grenades that were hard to dodge. When the smoke was clearing, many were on the ground, looking like they got hit good.

"Well fellas, had enough yet?" Lynxa asked off with a sly tone in having shown the boys, she's got the right stuff.

"Grrr…." Megatron growls in frustration, seeing his three troops beaten by one measly new bot.

"WAAAAaughhh…./POWfruvhmm…" Then falling from above, Rime Walrus came in & so did Raid Jango, as the largest walrus bot smacked down with the bobcat bot pin underneath.

"What! Shadow Panther, what's happened?" Megatron yelped in seeing this before contacting Shadow Panther by the com-link.

"Lord Megatron, the Maximals had reinforcements stop our surprise attack. Grimlock used his tail to knock them into your location. Now they're ganging up to your location where their allies are." Shadow Panther's voice was heard on the com-link, reporting everything that happened.

"Grrr…." Megatron growls in ending the com-link chat, as he looks around in seeing Lynxa having handled his troops. "If we are to fall back, then at least one new Maximals will not live pass their 15 seconds of fame." He aims his T-Rex head which was instead of charging a laser beam, was preparing a missile.

Sissi & William saw that Megatron was planning to fire a T-Rex Missile at Lynxa that didn't notice after handling the other bots. But during the moment of thinking up a plan to stop the main enemy, William saw Waspinator's drop Sting Launcher, he must have dropped it from being hit by them grenades. Responding to the action of the hour, William leaps off to snatch the Sting Launcher, & skids directly underneath Megatron to aim at the missile from the T-Rex's mouth.

"What…!?" Megatron yelped in seeing this, it couldn't be…

"Say Hello…To My Little Friend./POwfruvhm…KABOmmvhmm…" William issued off to say this, as he fired the Sting Missile that impacted & made a big 'BOOM' effect.

"GRUUUARRRrughhhh!" Megatron was shot off from the explosion of his own missile at close range, as he was heard roaring… "NOooooooooo…." Megatron was heard yelling this off from a distance before a loud thud sound was made stating he landed somewhere, hard.

"All Predacons, escape through the Warp Gate. Quickly!" Shadow Panther's voice was heard alerting the other Preds, as they pick themselves up to run to the nearest portal opening up before them.

Once all of the enemies had escaped, William sign with relief before dropping on his knees. Then as Sissi & Lynxa came to check on him to see if William was alright.

"Nice shooting Tex, I guess saving a girl in distress comes naturally for big, strong, men to answer the call." Lynxa smiled off to pat William's shoulder while flirting with the young big hero on the hour.

" …just, helping out?" William sheepishly blush from the comment in not knowing what else to say.

"Huff…" Sissi however huffs in somehow finding the action of a boy like William getting played by a Maximal with a flirting talent a bit…jealous…?

No sooner did they hear a loud noise ruckus, to see the Mountain Crawler V drove by with the rest of the children, plus the other Maximals that ran to be on sight. They arrived just in the nick of time it would seem….

"Well, I see ye ended yer party a lot sooner, eh kiddos?" Rattrap shrug off to make a little joke of seeing that the battle here was already over with.

"Lucky we came when we got the warning that the enemy was near, what happened?" Optimus stated on what they got while wondering what happened here.

"And who do we have here to meet?" Wingblade asked in seeing a fair new face in the crowd.

"Hey boys, don't mind me. I'm just your friend of a mill fembot, who knows how to send guys packing with a little something extra. Name's Lynxa by the way." Lynxa smiled off in being a greeting girl who was being honest in how she handled things, with a grenade launcher in her hand.

"Jumping Gyros, you look like your lock & loaded?" Cheetor exclaimed off in seeing just how one fembot packed so much firepower.

"Milady, do you need a moment to rest your arms when holding such heavy weaponry?" Ivor spoke off with a gentleman's way of offering to relieve someone of their heavy possession.

"Ah, aren't you a charming gentleman who knows how to aid a lady. You must be one of the strongest bots to offer to help me with this little thing." Lynxa smiled with a flirting motion of how someone wanted to help her, & she couldn't resist the lure.

"Please…I'm much stronger then he is." Mach Kick spoke off in willing to impress a lady with his strength, after all…he has horse-power to boot for that.

"No way! I'll show you who's strongest!" B'Boom protest in stating he's much stronger as a warrior, & go bananas with crazy results.

"Oh brother, the guys just got something else to keep them distracted?" Jackrabbit rolled her eyes in seeing how some of the muscle-headed bots are falling for this.

"And her name's Lynxa." Aquarius signed in seeing that with a new fembot & with some sly flirting skills, can pretty much work on a few simple-minded male bots.

"I guess just like with Drifter, she managed to handle the enemies here on her own." Grizzly-1 stated in how one new bot handled their fair share of troubles & now the new fembot did the same thing.

"Well this young man helped quite a lot, he even shot a launcher between the creep with the T-Rex hand that sent him packing." Lynxa patted William's shoulder in giving him some extra credit in what he also performed for the team.

"Wait! William did?" Jeremie yelped in having heard that to be lost in thought.

"Wow, & some said I was the odd one with reckless acts?" Odd scratch his head in finding that far out of the ordinary.

"You might still be?" Ulrich sarcastically stated about Odd's view point.

"William, is this true?" Optimus asked in wanting the truth about the case.

"Optimus, I know your mad, but if I didn't respond, he was gonna blast Lynxa. So…I know you don't want us helping more then we should, but…" William was trying to explain his situation from now getting in trouble for putting his life at risk so recklessly.

"I understand, saving those you want to save then watching them perish is something we have to be prepared for. I didn't want to risk all of you getting more involved with our war then it was." Optimus cuts in to say this much about what it is that William was trying to do while understanding it under a firm point of view that he wanted to keep the human children safe from being too involved in their outside hidden war. "But perhaps, each of you have proven yourselves through different obstacles. Perhaps with more survival training, will help you get through." He signed in thinking if they are going to get help from the children, they must better themselves to handle whatever comes at them.

"A wise suggestion Optimus, discipline is the key when showing one cares for those around on their best decisions made." Drifter bowed his head to the wise method Optimus displayed, like a student…they must respect the will & follow guidance of the teacher.

"Something tells me, the crew is gotta be a loud more open with new faces?" Yumi stated in how things are gonna go with these new additions.

"Well, we'll just get use to it, won't we?" Aelita shrug off in thinking about this on a more positive note.

Everyone was beginning to have their own chats at this time about the events that happen during the first bots' Day Off. While that was happening, Lynxa came near William & Sissi from their experienced time.

"By the way, here's a little something for helping me be active on time." Lynxa leans near William to…give him a quick peak on his cheek; surprising him & Sissi of her action.

"Ugh…ugh…?" William was a bit spaced out in having been given something…by a Cybertronian fembot.

"As a small reward, you can give me a nickname? Since we're such good friends, try to think of something that matches me perfectly." Lynxa smiled off in simply letting William have a nice reward as thanks.

"A nickname…" William thought for a moment in trying to understand until…the idea came for a nickname base on Lynxa's lynx form. "Well, how's…Miyu, sound? Since Icthyo has her nickname of being called Theo, maybe for you being a lynx fits…I think?" He stated in thinking the nickname, Miyu, can be something base on her character & form.

"Miyu….heh, I like it, thanks…see you around." Lynxa smiled in liking the name ,as she gave thanks while joining to see a few other gullible male bots try to impress her.

"Ugh, William, you really got to watch out when girls flirt with you." Sissi signed in seeing that someone needs to be wary of when a girl likes to play games like that.

"Right, I'll make a note of that?" William slightly nodded the head in agreement, still getting over what still happened.

Now the two children decided to join up with the others as the Maximals were gonna make a Warp Gate back to the Axelon Base. Hopefully the next Day Off that they plan, will be somewhere with less enemy pop ups, but one never knows.

HOURS LATER

We see some black suit guys working around & investigating the fossil dig site. And coming to inspect the site was none other, then Agent Bishop, as one agent came up to his superior.

"Report…" Bishop sternly requested a report of the situation.

"Sir, the people doing the dig site said there was almost 2 days dig without any machinery to disturb the forest & the local wildlife." The agent reported the case on what they dug up so far that fills in the case of blanks.

"And yet, this site was excavated sooner & without any machine tech? Explain to me, how someone can do that in half a day's time?" Bishop remotely wanted to know, how the dig site was performed faster if the people in charge did things by hand then with machinery.

"Um…maybe it was one of a newer High-Tech model?" The agent slightly responded in thinking maybe some new gizmo was used by a cooperation that works on advance tech.

"Maybe, search doing research." Bishop remotely stated while ordering that the investigation continues.

"Yes sir." The agent saluted before rushing off to do his job.

Bishop was seen skidding down near the fossil site of the Spinosaruas, as he noted many things that seem…beyond use of normal digging hand tools.

"No signs of disturb dirt, everything's made smooth on the surface, & the fossils looked polish perfectly. Everything has been cleared of what went on here…" Bishop studied the terrain in noticing that whatever dug u[p the dirt, did so perfectly without leaving any evidence what-so-ever. "Well, almost everything…" He stated in having found…what he wanted.

Beneath & hidden under the fossil dinosaur, was an oval shape, & patterns of what use to be there made harden; alien writing.

"It's the same shape as the others, which means…'they' were involved." Bishop muttered to himself in having figured out just 'who' was behind this & recalling what the object in the dirt might resemble a familiar object he's seen. "It's time we beef up our game, if more of these 'aliens' are showing up, then it's best we take needed steps…before the whole world gets involve with something that will doom mankind as we know it." He issued off in seeing that it's time to move things up a notch, before the world suffers that which there is no going back.

Having gotten what he wanted, Bishop stood up to leave….all as the scene darkens. The mystery of what went on here, the secret agents will cover it up, but sooner or later, they will find the truth; either before, or 'after' of whatever major comes next.
