Berserkers

In the Axalon, Optimus and Grimlock were being analyzed in the CR Chambers. "You were supposed to be there as back up!" Cheetor said.

"They are in this state, because of your incompetence!" Mila Rose said.

"We were ambushed! And don't tell my duties you fur balls! Or you'll be recycled!" Dinobot said.

"What did you say?!" Rose said angrily holding the hilt of her sword.

"Wanna try now, lizard lips?!" Cheetor said.

"Stop with this nonsense, dammit!" Sky-Bite said.

"As much as I'd love to see the both of you scrap yourselves, save it for my birthday. Right now we got bigger concerns." Rattrap said.

"So Rhinox, which is their status?" Nell asked.

"It seems that a viral like fused with their core. Grimlock can transform but Optimus can't." Rhinox replied.

"So let's just take it off, right? They were too much exposed to Energon on the way here." Mila Rose said.

"It can't be done." Inferno answered. "The bees are connected to all their core systems, we remove it and they live less then a minute." Ulquiorra said.

"This is bad." Inferno said.

"And it gets worse." Rhinox said. "Right after that the mine in the bee explodes, destroying everything in a sprinting distance."

"But I don't get it, why would the Preds do it?" Sky-Bite questioned.

"A viral mine you say, I know Scorponok's creations, this one is intended to turn our leaders in cowards, leaving them useless. Scorponok must have the cure." Dinobot explained.

"So our next objective is clear." Rose said.

Then the CR Chambers started to tremble and then Grimlock and Optimus punched their way out of the CR Chambers. "Who wants some?!" Grimlock and Optimus said at same time. "Nobody take it's off, understand?!" Optimus said.

Grimlock growled and he turned to Inferno. "Are you listening to me?! I'll blow your slag head off!" Grimlock transformed to beast mode and he was about to kill Inferno if wasn't for Ulquiorra and Nell that held him with difficulty.

Inferno shrieked and he hid behind Sky-Bite. "Why does Grimlock attack me whenever he leaves the CR Chamber?" Inferno questioned.

Optimus almost attacked Dinobot but Rhinox hold him. "I don't fear you! I don't fear anyone!" Optimus shouted while Grimlock simply roared.

"I thought that thing was supposed to make them become cowards!" Rhinox said.

"No doubt that was its intention, but Scorponok is a notorious incompetent. So we have exactly the opposite, interesting." Dinobot said.

"Optimus can face it, he is stronger than this. Come on big bot, fight it!" Cheetor said.

"It is too strong... I can't fight it...Disarm my weapons...Lock me up." Optimus said. Grimlock struggled and then he easily released himself and he rushed out of the Axalon.
