Small skirmishes across Cybertron were typical. Each sector had it’s turn at the flame, and while the war had quiet down for some time, the Hydrax Plateau set it on fire once again. The Decepticons exploded with a battle that resulted in the Autobots pulling out.
Hoping to capitalize on the Decepticons love to celebrate their wins, the Autobots snuck into Tarn. Datamatrix though had set a security beacon and Sustain was sent to scout it out.
At no one time was Tarn ever a clean looking picture-perfect city state, one of its major exports came from the mines. The very place that the Decepticons got their start. Sustain rolled up through the main street her forward sensors on full. As she came to an intersection, she stopped and Transformed to have a good look around.
HallowingJack sniffed. The Distinct smell of Decepticon was in the air, yet,... this was Tarn it had been full of them at one point. This sent though was familiar. He turned to see if he could find it when he saw the green streak past the alley he had been in as narrow as it was. He snorted as she stopped at the end of the ally. He grinned a toothy grin as he ran out after her.
HallowJack transforms into a Predator and rams Sustain. Sustain is slightly damaged (77% power remaining).Being thrown off balance and caught off guard Sustain got up quickly wildly firing off a few shots, and then another not having time to aim either one. 00:10 Sustain misses HallowJack with a Laser Rifle. Decepticon 00:20 Sustain attacks HallowJack with a Laser Rifle. HallowJack transforms into a Predator and avoids the attack!
"Listen you, I just came out here to find out why there were some bots here." Sustain took aim again. Jack didn't want any of it though, he didn't particularly like being shot at such point blank range, he grabbed his own weapon 00:30 HallowJack attacks Sustain with a Mournhowl, for Hallowjack. Sustain transforms into a Light Vehicle and avoids the attack! "HAHAHAH you have to be faster than that! 00:41 Sustain attacks HallowJack with a Laser Rifle.
HallowJack transforms into a Predator and avoids the attack! "And so do you DECEPTICON!" Jack growled back. Sustain took aim again 00:52 Sustain misses HallowJack with a Laser Rifle. And odd gravely laugh came from the Autobot "Where did you learn to shoot!?!" Jack taunted Sustain 01:33 Sustain attacks HallowJack with a Laser Rifle. HallowJack transforms into a Predator and avoids the attack! 01:36 HallowJack attacks Sustain with a Mournhowl, for Hallowjack. Sustain transforms into a Light Vehicle and avoids the attack!
"Not like you can catch me!" Sustain laughed. "I could do this all day." Sustain just transformed then sped around a moment leaving a small trail of rubber from her rear tire.
"I don't have all day." He snorted again in irritation. 03:02 HallowJack hits Sustain with a Mournhowl, for Hallowjack. Sustain is damaged (34% power remaining).
"Did that hurt little Decepticon?" Jack laughed. 03:11 Sustain attacks HallowJack with a Laser Rifle. HallowJack transforms into a Predator and avoids the attack! “You can’t hit the broad side of Kaon!”
Thrown off Sustain stops. "That's not funny I thought you Autobots were all about fun and rights and stuff." 03:21 HallowJack hits Sustain with a Mournhowl, for Hallowjack. Sustain is severely injured (20% power remaining).
“They don’t call us Wreckers for nothing.” Jack growled.
"You're not fun any more. But you had better get out of Tarn before the rest of the Decepticons get back." 03:54 Outmatched and running low on energy, the Decepticons retreat from the battle. Victory belongs to the Autobots!
Jack watched the Decepticon speed out of site. While he didn’t care, he’d take them on, a little back up from his team wouldn’t hurt.
“Redimus are you sure you want to do this?” Bun-bun looked at him.
“I do it every time. Good at this I’ll have you know.” Redimus grinned.
“Alright.” Bun nodded.
“At least you two have a chance, Thunder put his two cents in and now we have to go it alone.” Sustain shook her head.
“We’re doing it for the.. what did they call it? Shiggles?” Wrath laughed. “It’s funny, I’ll have to use that.”
“At least your partner is here.” A loud voice came from below eye level.
“We tried to warn you about Naval Strike.” Redimus started to chuckle.
Psychout knocked him in the knee cap. “HEY, he was in CR for most of it.”
“Okay okay.” Redimus backed up.
“Doesn’t matter, the Autobots think they can take Tarn, we’re going to fight back.” Psychout said using his biggest voice.
“Shouldn’t be too hard.” Bun noted. “I mean did you see what the sensors picked up? Nightwing’s team is there, playing with Steelwall’s? Who said my Rival could do that?”
Thundertron looked over the group of commanders, “Enough. Tarn is a valuable asset, we can let them have it. And if I take it, I just might keep it for myself. Let’s go.”
Head out from Kaon and the infamous Citadel, the Decepticons headed into Tarn.
“Who’s idea was this?” Nightwing asked.
“Umm.” Steelwall looked around and found Behemoth. “His idea!”
“No. We all got the report. We need to make a decisive strike against the Decepticons.” Behemoth said.
Nightwing was working on a lock that would open a large hall, something they can call their base of operations while in Tarn. “But Tarn?”
“This is where Megatron started the Decepticons, why not?” Steelwall answered.
“I thought that they caught Jack up here a few days ago.” Nightwing said hearing one of the tumblers in the lock finally click.
“That’s right.” HallowJack came up in his robot mode. “And my sensors say they’re on the way, let’s get this open.”
Colossus Prime came and moved Nightwing then kicked the door. “We’re in.”
“If they didn’t know we were here, they probably do now.” Nightwing said.
“I’d suggest setting up defensive positions.” Behemoth headed inside.
“Can you hear me in there?!?!” Bun-Bun came up on the small corner of Tarn where he had the read out of Nightwing’s team. “HEY! Who said you could play with Behemoth! I told you, you were my rival!”
Darksurge peaked around the corner of a building. “They’re early.”
Graverobber nodded, “We’re going to have to fight.”
“I hope the other guy is on the same page.” Darksurge sighed. “Come on, before he sees what we’re doing.” The three Autobots step out from their hiding place.
“More than I thought there were. Hey Gremlatron. Go get them.” Bun grinned.
A green streak covered the distance quickly. Darksurge and Graverobber both took out their respective light sabers and waiting for it to come close enough. 00:09 Gremlatron hits Graverobber with a Green Lightsaber. Graverobber is slightly damaged (83% power remaining). 00:14 Darksurge hits Gremlatron with a Purple Lightsaber.Gremlatron is slightly damaged (78% power remaining). 00:22 Darksurge misses Gremlatron with a Purple Lightsaber. 00:28 Gremlatron hits Graverobber with a Green Lightsaber. Graverobber is damaged (50% power remaining).
“He’s too fast!” Graverobber yelled.
“We can’t let him through.” Darksurge growled. “Come on.” As the three Autobots fought with the one Decepticon it was obvious that things were not going to go well.
02:56 Gremlatron hits Darksurge with a Green Lightsaber. Darksurge has gone into stasis lock!
04:26 Graverobber misses Gremlatron with a Mace. 04:33 Gremlatron hits Graverobber with a Green Lightsaber. Graverobber is severely injured (12% power remaining). 05:07 Graverobber misses Gremlatron with a Mace. 05:13 Gremlatron hits Graverobber with a Green Lightsaber. Graverobber has gone into stasis lock!
Gremlatron headed back to where he had left Bun-bun panting, but licking his lips. “That fun.”
“There is more where that came from.” Bun nodded.
Having spread out to find the Autobots Opeth came across one, and rather than take the time to talk dispatched it without a second thought though there was a little help from Disillusioned and Sustain
00:32 Opeth hits Longrack with a Gatling Gun. Longrack has gone into stasis lock!
It would appear that Bun-Bun and Redimus took and early lead and held it. Laying claim to a piece of Tarn in the name of the Decepticons.
Psychout and his team of merry men ran through the streets and right into where Nightwing and her girls. And although Naval Strike put in an appearance as did Turbomagnus, these two teams hit a stale mate!
This left Wrath and Xenos Prime.
“Xenos you ready for this?” Wrath asked.
“Sure why not?”
And that’s all that was needed. Though it took longer than expected the Decepticons have taken Tarn!
It’s a scavenger hunt
