Wounded Spark

After passing through the bridge, Speed and Cascade found themselves in a downpour. "What the frag!" Speed cursed at the falling droplets. "This is Earth. I thought we would still be on Cybertron." Cascade said turning her helm around to look at the area. The two had landed in a forest like area. Luckily the trees blocked them from unwanted attention. The bridge they had crossed was surrounded by rocks. "Let's worry about that later. A dry shelter is what we should be looking for." Speed grumbled unhappy about the pouring rain. "It's not that bad, feels kinda nice." Cascade said relaxing in her element.
The blue Predacon blinked as a familiar scent filtered through the rain. Speed tilted her helm and inhaled. "You smell that." Speed said. Cascade stiffened. "Energon. Fresh and uncrystallized." Cascade csaid turning her helm in the direction of the smell. Both Predacons strained their audio receptors at the faint scream of an engine. "Something's coming." Speed said flexing her claws.
With their keen eyesight, the two spotted a jet approaching their location. "We can't let it near the transporter." Cascade said. Speed growled in agreement.

The jet slowed down and seemed to drop. To their surprise, it transformed into a black and white mech with red optics. The Predacons' surprise quickly turned to anger. "You must be some of Shockwave's lost pets." The mech said crossing his arms. "We are no pets." Speed growled. "Right, you're just a sack of bones." He said smirking. "Do we look like bones to you!" Cascade snarled. "No. But I can easily turn you back to rusting bones!" He declared going into a fighting stance. Speed roared and lunged. The mech seemed slightly startled as he dodged/scrambled away from the Predacon. Cascade opened her jaws and a blast of water crashed into him. "I was tolerating this rain, but you're another story." He snarled pulling out his cannon.

::SKYWARP!::

The mech groaned and pressed a digit to his comm.
::Yes, Lord Megatron.:: Skywarp said.
The two Predacons watched him curiously. Frankly they didn't understand why he was talking to his helm and where the other voice was coming from.
::Did you investigate the signal.::
::Not yet-::
::DO IT NOW!::
Skywarp sighed and looked back at the Predacons. "Your makeovers will have to wait, unfortunately." Skywarp said before transforming and flying past them and the bridge.
"Oh no you don't." Speed said chasing after. Cascade opened her wings and followed the jet.

Meanwhile. . .

"I wonder how that fight is going." Smokescreen said. "I hope the beast looses." Arcee said crossing her arms. "Why do you dislike her so much?" Jack asked. "Let's just say I've had enough of back stabbing Cons." Arcee said.
"No wonder this group is the underdogs." Darksteel said. Arcee whirled around. "What did you say." The femme demanded. The young Predacons lay on the floor side by side. "You bots have major trust issues. Carrier is strong and works hard and cares yet you brand her evil before giving her a chance." Skylynx said. "Especially since the transformers are the evil ones." Darksteel added. "But we're the good guys." Bumblebee said.
"Evil says what."
"What?"
Darksteel erupted into laughter. Skylynx snickered as well. "You have no prove we are evil." Arcee said. The two Predacons grew serious. "Seen Cybertron lately. Carrier saw an image of what you transformers did to her birth home." Skylynx said. "You can't blame Megatron for the damage when you caused some yourselves." Darksteel added. Arcee clenched her servos and turned her back to the two. "Can we put them in the brig till Optimus and Bulkhead get back." Arcee said in a hussed tone. "No. 1 they are just younglings and 2 the fights over." Ratchet said opening up a ground bridge. Everyone turned to face the green/blue tunnel.

Bulkhead walked through first carrying the slightly damaged Apex Armor. "Must have been some fight." Smokescreen said. "Isn't the Apex Armor indestructible?!" Arcee said shocked by the cracked visor. "That's what I thought. Aileron has some strong jaws." Bulkhead said putting the suit down. They didn't fold it up out of worry for further damage. "So who won?" Jack asked.
"Optimus and I broke up th-"
He was interrupted by Skylynx and Darksteel screeching with joy as Aileron walked through. "Carrier!!" They cried after almost crashing against her pedes. Aileron chuckled and lowered her helm. Optimus walked through the bridge with Miko clutching his digits. "Miko!" Raf and Jack cried running to the railing of the elevated area. Optimus held is servo down to their level. Miko wearily climbed down.
