Battle Against The Predacons (August 17, 2022)

The scene begins to open up around some canyon area where there was some rocky mountains. Some signs of falling pebbles were seen, but there was some 'beeping' computer noises heard that earn our attention. And on a ledge spot where it was near a river, we find the Maximals in Beast Mode: Optimus Primal, Rhinox, Dinobot, Rattrap, Cheetor, K-9, Armordillo & Jackrabbit. Also there were the human children; Jeremie, Ulrich, William, Odd, Yumi, Sissi, & Aelita, in helping in some activity with the Maximals, but from how it's looking…seems a little off.
"Awww…now we're losing the reading?" Rhinox signs in sounding grief in annoyance in holding a device. "There's Energon here. But it's too deep to access?" Rhinox pointed down to the ground in stating that below them, there was Energon that they can use, but it's very deep underground. "Dead End?" He looked down in feeling that they came searching for Energon, but they can't get to it, such is life.
"Couldn't Aelita use her Creativity to make it easier?" Odd asked off in what their pink haired friend could do.
"I don't think that be too smart, what if the energy causes an unknown effect on her?" Jeremie explained that they don't know any existing side-effects if they are not careful.
"So we have to really dig through, and we are short on digging equipment?" William rub the back of his head in seeing what they got going here.
"So it really is a Dead End?" Sissi stated to say in seeing that they are in a tight fix now.
"Well as far as Dead ends go, at least this one has a view?" Optimus tried to be positive of the situation as to not let it get everyone down.
"Eh….You telling me we spend all day romping up here, just so we can enjoy the scenery?" Rattrap stood up on his hind legs to ask off to Optimus about them being here, waved off to what was around them as if stating this rhetorically. "Oh man…what else do we got to look forward to" He shrug off his arms in not knowing what else there will be for them to expect.
"Powwfruvhmmm…BAMFruvhmmm…" Then without warning, a missile was heard launching downwards before it exploded on impact near Cheetor.
"GAaaughh!/NRrruaaagh!" Cheetor was blasted backwards while Dinobot raise his arms to cover what came.
"GAaaugh?" Cheetor fell back down to the ground to land there a bit on his side, he wasn't badly hurt, but even Rattrap notice that kinda hurt.
"Cheetor!" Yumi cried out in seeing their cat-bot friend was hurt.
"Rrruagh-Aaahh….yah had to ask, didn't yah?" Cheetor groans to move up, looked to Rattrap in remarking that the rodent just had to open his big mouth to say what else could go wrong today & got his wish.
"Way to go Cheese-Breath?" Jackrabbit remarked off in seeing what the rodent went and did by jinxing them.
"Hey, don't look at me? I had NOTHIN' ta do with this?" Rattrap held up his paws in stating his innocence.
"Predacons, up there!" Optimus Primal gaze upwards in stating that the enemy was above them to launch an attack. "Optimus - Maximize!" He issued his activation code to prepare his transformation.
Soon Optimus and the rest of the Maximals were transforming from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. Some animal sounds from Rhinox, Dinobot, K-9 & Cheetor were heard, but everyone was ready. Odd even got his Shield up while he and the other human children took some cover.
"Nowhere to run? And no place to hide? Yes-s-s-s-s…." Megatron was heard speaking off the odds against the Maximals & friends while smirking to such matters. "OBLITERATE THEM! And Secure The Key!" Megatron yelled out his orders for his troops to perform this without delay.
"POSSsfruvhmmm…/POwvhm-Powfruvhmm…/Bangbangbangbangbang…./Powkow-Powkowfruvhmmm../Briziziz-Brzizizivhmm…" Soon Megatron and his transformed Predacons; Terrorsaur, Lazorbeak, Tarantulas, Blackarachnia, Waspinator Scorponok, Double Punch, & Manterror were firing their weapons below.
"POWfruyvhm-Powfruvhmm…" Cheetor tried to give some cover fire as best as he could with K-9 using his shield to help protect their comrades. "POWWFruvhmmm…" Dinobot was firing his optic beams to get a shot in by their enemies, but seem to miss.
"BangBangBangBangfruhvmm…" Tarantulas was firing more of his web machine guns off at the targets.
"POWFruvhmm…" Optimus fired a Wrist Cannon to hit, but didn't get much.
"Bangbangbangbangbangbangfruvhm…/POWWfruvhmmm…/POoowfruvhmm-Poowwfruvhmmm…" Rhinox was firing his machine gun, Dinobot fired his optic beams and Jackrabbit was firing her power cannons from her wrist that made a charge shot.
"Poowfruvhmmm…" Scorponok & Double Punch fired their respective missiles at the targets below.
"POOWwfruvhmm…." Dinobot continued to fire his optic beams to hit something above now.
"BAMfruvhmm…" And explosion happened by where the Predacons had some cover,but were not phase at all.
"PUssfruvhmmm-Puusfruvhmmm…" Megatron fired his T-Rex beams off in trying to get any of the Maximals below.
"Bangbangbangbangbangfruvhmmm…" Rhinox seem to be aiming his machine gun off somewhere in hitting something that was not the enemy.
"Any ideas, Jeremie?" Ulrich asked off from where they hid if their genius friend has a plan.
"Keep low and don't get hit?" Jeremie held his head to cover it below their hiding spot.
"But what about me?" Aelita asked off in what happens if she exposes herself.
"They won't shot your pretty face Aelita, not unless they want a beating from their terrifying leader?" Odd was trying to pull a funny bone here while he was firing some Laser Arrows to back up the others.
"We need a diversion? Cover me!" Optimus looked to his Maximals in giving the order while getting his shoulder missiles brought up. "Prime Jets - On!/POWWFRRususvhmmm…" As he looked up in giving the order, Optimus soon too to the air while everyone was busy firing from their spots. "POWfruvhmmm../GRUUARRrughhh!?" But then a pink beam impact Optimus that caused him to stop his accession.
"Big Bot!" Cheetor cried out in seeing their commander has taken a hit.
"Cluopvhmm…." Optimus fell from his height to land o the ground belly first. "Grruuaaaagh…?" He shook his head to get himself together after rotating a blow.
"KABOOM…/Pow-pow-pow-powfruvhmmm…" Much of the Maximals were still firing with their attacks against the enemies.
"There's only one alternative left? Attack!" Dinobot spoke off towards Rattrap in stating what they need to do against the enemy. "We storm their position!" He issued off that they shall storm against where the enemy stands.
"Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang0-Bangfruvh…" Tarantulas was firing his machine gun legs straight against the Maximal targets.
"POWWfruvhmmm…/BangBangBangBangBangfruvhmm…./PRrisisvhhmm…/PUSsfruvhmm…/" Rhinox's machine guns,Dinobot's optic beams, K-9's hidden missiles & Armordillo's blaster were trying to keep the enemy back. While Jackrabbit used her little long ear sword to try to deflect any of Manterror's buzzsaws from harming the human children.
"Deep, you're on the wrong wave-link Lizard-Lips? WE RUN!" Rattrap remarked off to lecture Dinobot that at this position, they don't storm the foe, they run away when given a disadvantage.
"Oh yes? And just Where do we run, vermin?" Dinobot rolled his eyes in remarking close to Rattrap's face that they can't run anywhere when they are between a tall cliff & a river edge with only backing up to expose their backsides for the enemy to shot.
"He's right, we're pin in a clever trap?" Armordillo stated in hating to admit what they got happening here.
"Grrr….having Aelita & the children flea now would invite this fliers to seize them?" K-9 growls in seeing they have no way out of this situation.
"It shouldn't be this easy? No…." Megatron frowns his face in stating how the battle was going here, to beat his enemies so easily seem too simple to achieve. "But, mustn't complain?" He shrug off to say in smiling that this was hardly a moment to complain, so he'll gladly accept this.
"POWfruvhm-Powfruvhm, POWWFruvmmm…" The Predacons continued to fire from their positions in bombarding the Maximals.
"Bangbangbangbangbangfruvhmmm…" Rhinox is again seen aiming his machine gun off somewhere in hitting something that was not the enemy. "FRusvchmmm…Bangbangbangbangbangfruvhmmm…" And even as he cease firing, he moved his weapon again to continue firing still upwards pass the Preds towards a cliff of rocks.
"Rhinox, Shoot Straight For Crying Out Loud?" Cheetor yelled out in firing his own blaster while telling Rhinox what he should be doing. "You're missing them about a Par-cept!" He sated that from what Rhinox was doing, he wasn't gonna hit any enemy at this rate.
"Hmm….wait, is he…?" Jackrabbit responded off in noticing the pattern of Rhinox's shots, what if…
"Close the fire on Optimus Primal…" Megatron issued the order to focus all their attacks on Optimus who was weaken from being shot down. "And Delete!" He issued off with a frown & dark threat in what he wants done
"And I'll grab the Key! MWUAaahhhh!" Manterror yelled out as he fly up and was preparing to dive for the children.
"Oh no you don't, ugly!" Jackrabbit shouted off to leap up into the air, and then was charging a hidden cannon on her that was charge up. "POWWFruvhmm…" She fired a big blast that went right against Manterror's buzz-saws.
"GWAaaughhh!" Manterror screamed out in having been dealt with a dosage of a blast while smacking against the highest rocks.
"Bangbangbangbangbangfruvhmmm…" Rhinox seem to be aiming his machine gun off somewhere in hitting something that was not the enemy. "Bam-Bam-Bam-Bamfruvhmm…" Then much of Rhinox's missed shot rounds were impacting the rocks above, causing…a shake.
"GRAaughh?" Megatron yelped from feeling the structure of their high advantage rumble from what was happening above.
"Hugh?" Double-Punch responded off to look up at something.
"Lookout!" Scorponok yelled out in warning the rest of what was coming.
"The whole thing's coming down?" Lazorbeak issued off in seeing much of the rumble mountain cliff come down on them.
"GRUUARrrughhh!/CLUPFruvhmmm…" Megatron let off a roar nosies before he and many of his Predacons were soon being buried under tons of rocky rubble.
"Frusvhmm…" Then Rhinox finally stop his gatling machine gun that let off smoke to stare at a finished job. "There's more thence way to skin a cat." Rhinox issued off to say in having used a plan to take down an ambush of enemies…by amusing them with a surprise unseen. "Sorta speak?" He stated off to say in knowing what he meant & not implying that towards Cheetor who shook his head from not being bothered.
"Heh, well it work wonders!" Jackrabbit landed on the ground, smiling proudly in what they have achieved with her speedy agility with Rhinox's strength.
Soon Rhinox transformed to Beast Mode, followed by the rest of the Maximals as well. The human children finally came out of their cover in seeing the surprise attack was over, as they approach.
"Is everyone okay?" Sissi asked off in wondering if all are okay after what happened.
"I think so, that was a close calling?" Yumi stated to say in what they could gather.
"Urragh?" Optimus groans from feeling himself still injured from the attack he took.
"No time to waste?" Rhinox issued off i seeing that they need to act fast here. "Dinobot, lead the way. Rattrap, Cheetor, Armordillo, help up Optimus. K-9, check the children for any injuries & keep them safe?" Rhinox was looking at any Maximal to help with doing something as everyone was moving about from his given orders. "I'll cover the rear, along with Jackrabbit." He stated in what else was gonna be done that he & one more would do for the group.
"Looks like someone's taking charge?" William commented off in seeing how well Rhinox was holding things.
"Well, Rhinox did help save the day, & he is a reliable older member of the group?" Jeremie pointed out in seeing that Rhinox is an older bot who thinks about others well being.
"Hugh…Well done, old friend." Optimus signs to say while he was being helped up by Cheetor while Rattrap & Armordillo were near his left side. "Steady nerves and quick thinking." He was commenting on the Maximal Rhino for having put together such a process of not losing his cool & used wits to beat the enemy.
"Comes with the job description." Rhinox replied off to easily state this in having such things when he was hired to be apart of the Axelon Crew.
"No, I'm serious." Optimus responded off to say something here from being surprised. "If you ever wanted to, you'd make one 'Prime' leader." Optimus proudly was saying that with Rhinox as leader, the crew can be very well safe from his wise guidance.
"Wow, Rhinox, Maximal Commander? Heh, catchy new title from being a Maximal Scientist?" Odd spoke off in seeing how things seem to be going from this view, imagine Rhinox leading the Maximals.
"Thanks anyway, but I'll leave that sort of thing to you." Rhinox lean his head over to Optimus in kindly decline the offer for his leader to keep his job, as it's not much for him. "I'd rather just tag along behind and smell the flowers." He issued off to say this about what he rather do, just stuff in which he likes doing.
