Episode 1 - Uncaged

[Onix Solo]

There was a loud crash in the high security wing of the Elite Guard prison as Spittor crashed through a wall in his walker mode. The large Decepticon transformed and motioned to another to come in. Oilslick stepped into the bright hallway and looked around.

Oilslick: "You Neanderthal, you will have alerted the whole prison to our whereabouts. We will have to work fast in getting to the others"

A guard came around a corner and Spittor fired a glob of his slime at the guard. The guard fell over, paralyzed.

Oilslick and Spittor arrived at their destination, high security, meaning Megatron and the other Decepticons. Oilslick pulled out a vial of a mild variant of Cosmic Rust and tossed it into the security door. The door rusted and crumbled away and the two Decepticons walked in. Oilslick hit a switch and all cells in the area opened and all stasis cuffs released.

Megatron stood up and stretched, walking out of the cell. He turned and looked over to Oilslick who walked up and bowed.

Oilslick: "Megatron, Strika sends us to free you and to take you to the vessel we commandeered for you."

__________________________________________

Alarms started to sound in the prison. Hot Shot and Tracks were the first to respond and arrive to the high security wing. they bothepeered around the corner and saw Oilslick bow to Megatron as the rest of the Decepticons exited their cells.

Hot Shot got on his com with Tapout Prime.

Hot Shot: "Tapout sir, Megatron and the other Decepticons have been set loose. Me and Tracks are on the spot."

Tapout had just kicked his feet up and leaned back. His shift was almost up and he was going to get a little rest in. Then the alarms went off and Hot Shot crackled into his com. Tapout looked over the security feeds and saw the Decepticons loose and gathering.

Tapout: "Hot Shot, you and Tracks do not engage. there are to many Decepticons. Me and Punch will be there shortly with back up."

Punch had just been sent over to try and get information from the Decepticons. This latest endeavor had changed things. Tapout turned to him.

Tapout: "I know you aren't here to play guard but I need every gun I have."

OOC: Okay, so that should get us started. All Decepticons are with Megatron and Oilslick.

[Hoist]

Tracks had been on guard patrol when the alarms started blaring through the complex, on his way he ran into Hot Shot as they made their way through source of the situation. Grabbing out his weapon, Tracks cackled, "I didn't quite hear that last order... You?", he smirked as he charged his blaster.

The energy blaster beeped lightly as it hit maximum charge, "Didn't say anything about trying to blind em' and keep em there!" Setting his blaster to it's "Black light" mode, Tracks fired the weapon at the Decepticons nearby..

[Primus]

Lugnut was waiting for this moment to happen, as soon as the cuffs released and he was completely free, he barged out of the cell and looked menacingly at the incoming Autobots. Flexing his circuits to get feeling back in his arms from the cuffs, Lugnut walked over to Megatron and bowed:

"It's good to be back and free!"

Lugnut then walked over to the others to await for the ship, meanwhile revealing his mace to warn any Autobot that he would enjoy pounding a couple tons of metal into them.

[Bomblast]

Punch made a quick check of his blasters when given the order by Tapout. Once he was happy they were working correctly, he stashed them, ready to be used against the Decepticons.

"No problem sir. I'm not too bad a shot, hopefully we'll do some damage."

As Punch followed Tapout, he had an idea.

"Sir, if possible, should I try to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks?"

[Onix Solo]

Tapout lead the way, picking up other guards as they went along.

"We'll consider it, but right now our priority is to try and hold them back until Help arrives."

Hot Shot smirked at Tracks

"We will probably get in trouble for that."

Tracks attack caught the Decepticons off guard. Megatron covered his eyes as did others. One Decepticon went unaffected, and that was Sunstorm. Sustorm peered from where the light had come from and returned the favor, sending an optic siring flash of light into the hall.

[Primus]

Lugnut soon followed as he trudged down the hall, optics glaring red, Lugnut took his mace into full grip.

He looked at Megatron for orders, then he trudged down the hall gaining speed with every step, soon forming a full-blown charge at the Autobots

His mace held high, he attacked the first bot he saw

[Hoist]

"Sometime you've got to bend the rules!", chipped Tracks. Sunstorm's flash of light forced Tracks down on one knee, covering his optics with his free arm, "Not that's not fair! It was my idea first! I hope the others get here soon!"

[Onix Solo]

Hot Shot covered his optics.

"Ah, I forgot about him. should have figured he wouldn't be affected."

Both Autobots heard the thundering footsteps coming up the hall

"What's that Tracks? do you see who it is?

Hot Shot continued to rub his optics hoping they would come back into focus. Just when they did, Lugnut towered over him. Hot Shot shoved off of Lugnuts shins and slid across the floor away from him.

"Tracks, HELP!"

[Primus]

"AAAARRRRGGGG!, there is no calling for help now Autobot!

Lugnut lunged forward to hit Hot Shot but missed and then his attention gleamed to Tracks, "Just what do you want!"

He stood his ground then made a twirl with his glowing green mace and held it like a baseball bat, "Batters Up!", then laughed maniacally at Tracks waiting for the appending attack

[Hoist]

Tracks, still holding one arm near his optics peeked over and sag the great bulky form of Lugnut. Still being too disorientated by Sunstorm he knew he'd have to bide his time until the others arrived and picked up his blaster. The only thing he could do to make a small retreat.

"Try this you great oversized tin can!", grunted the Autobot and tried to fire the weapon at Lugnut's face emitting another black beam of light, harmless as far as damage was concerned, but a distraction none the less.

[Primus]

"AARRGGGHH!!", Lugnut closed his eyes painfully, the near-blinding light struck his eyes dead on.

He collopsed to a kneel on the ground, Lugnut could not see. He took out his blasters to see if he could take a shot but he was too blinded to see anything, just blurry vision. He scrambled to get back up on two feet. once he did he raised a fist...........

"YOU GREAT BAFOON!!! YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK, CAUSE I'M COMING FOR YOU!!!"

Lugnut had no idea if he was even raising a fist to the right direction but he thought that Tracks got the right message.

[Onix Solo]

Megatron vision began to come back, as did most of the others. He looked around and down the hall to where Lugnut threatened a wall in blind anger. Megatron strode down the hall and grabbed Lugnut's shoulder.

Megatron:"We have no time for crushing the Autobots. We regroup for now."

Megatron motioned to the other Decepticon's to come to him.

Megatron:"We have more pressing matter then the Autobots. We push through to the hangar but engage only to keep moving. Oilslick, Spittor, lead us back to the ship. I wish to be rid of this place.

Megatron turned his head and saw Hot Shot on the floor scrambling back from the two decepticons. He sneered and lifted his cannon to the Autobot.

_____________________________________________

Tapout and Punch moved quick threw the halls Tapout knew Hot Shot and Tracks had more then they could handle on their hands.

Tapout:"I hope those two Rooks keep themselves out of harm way before we can get to them."

It wasn't long till The two reached the area. Tapout turned the corner to see Megatron lifting his cannon to Hot Shot. Tapout was quick to react as his hands turned into his stingers and he fired both at Megatron and Lugnut.

Tapout:"Hot Shot! Tracks! Get back here to us, Move! Give the Rooks cover while they move to us."

[Hoist]

Whilst Lugnut was recovering both from his black light gun, and the blast from Tap Out's blast, Tracks got up and legged it back to Tapout and Punch. Before he legged it he grabbed Hot Shot's arm and dragged him along too until they reached their comrades.

"Thank Primus you two have finally arrived! I was endanger of getting a nasty blast mark on my nice shiny armour!", remarked Tracks shrugging his shoulder forward, "And I only got waxed and buffed three breems ago!"

[Bomblast]

When Tapout began firing at the Decepticons, Punch raised his blasters and began firing as well. Punch heard what Tracks said over the sound of blaster fire.

"You obviously take pride in your appearance. You know what they say, Pride comes before a fall. Looks like you just had a little stumble."

[Primus]

Lugnut again got shot and with Tapout's stingers. He couldn't believe it.
Lugnut had regained his vision and he wanted revenge but he followed his orders: Get Megatron out to the ship as safe as possible, so, quickly thinking, he followed behind Megatron and the others using his back as a sheild from all the commotion of firing blasters. It hurt nonetheless but he hoped that he could withstand them for a little while.

Lugnut deeply groaned, some shots had fired right into the back of his head causing some static in his optics and minor dizziness, "Once the battle really begins, that's when the Autobots will think twice about firing at me!"
