Megastory 27.4

 

 

 

Previously: Computer whiz, Chip Chase hacked the Decepticon code and Agent Fowler and Major Lennox were sent to retrieve him. Laserbeak was already there and exposed himself battling Lennox while Agent Fowler and Cliffjumper took Chip to Autobot City.

Chip confessed to having sent his code breaker to a friend, Raphael Esquavel. An enemy was already onto Raph and with the help of Jack Darby, he evaded capture.

 

 

When the target escaped inside the Autobot Cliffjumper, Laserbeak withdrew. He was afraid to report back empty-handed but there was nothing to gain by lingering.

By the time he was gone, Cliffjumber returned having dropped off Fowler and Chase at Autobot City.

Lennox looked a little pissed.

“Where’s my backup?” the human snarled.

Staying in car mode Cliffjumper opened his door. “Come one pal. Who needs back up when you got me?”

With a disgusted smirk, Lennox got in.

“I think we have Laserbeak tracked.” Cliffjumber said. “You up for going after him.?”

“Laserbeak doesn’t get tracked. He tracks people.”

“That’s why he’s going to be so surprised when we show up at his doorstep.”

“Cliffjumper change in plans.” Ultra Magnus spoke through the communication network. “Chip has an accomplice. We need you landbridge over there and pick him up.”

“But we wanted to surprise Laserbeak.”

“He still doesn’t know we’ve got him tagged. Grab the package and get back here. I’ll make sure you and Lennox are on the assault team.”

“We got a deal!”

Right in front of his path a land bridge opened that would take him to his next mission.

Jack started to doubt his helping a guy he barely knew evade the police. For all his chivalry, Raf could be guilty of something serious and he was helping a traitor or something.

On the other hand, Jack was concerned of what would happen to Raf’s family. They way those guys were treating them in their own house, it just wasn’t right.

Only one cop seemed to be on their trail. But there had to be some trap set.

When they came out of the neighborhood, a motorcyclist pulled up.

“Who are you?” The woman on the bike didn’t actually look at Jack. Her helmet never even turned in his direction.

Through the communication network, an operative addressed the stranger. “Stand by. Facial recognition running. He’s a neighbor. No threat signature.”

“What are you doing here?” The motionless motorcyclist asked.

Jack sputtered. “He looked like he was in trouble. I was trying to help him.”

“Checks out.” Agent Fowler’s voice came through the comm. “Bring him.”

“How? I can only carry one!”

A red Suzuki Swift pulled up.

“Relax Arcee. We’ve got you covered. Should have stayed with your car altmode.”

“Up yours Cliffjumper.” Arcee spat.

Knowing how unnerving this must have been for the two kids, Major Lennox opened Cliffjumper’s door smiling. I’m Major Lennox with the army. You guys are in trouble and we can protect you. Climb in.”

Timidly, Jack and Raphael stepped closer.

Suddenly the rider on the motorcycle disappeared. “You get on here.” Arcee said to Jack.

Confused for a minute, Jack’s eye gleemed a bit at the thought of riding a motorbike. He gave a reassuring nod to Raf as the young kid got into Cliffjumper with Lennox and then they pulled away, a land bridge just ahead of them.

After they arrived at Autobot City, the humans were offloaded and Cliffjumber and Arcee transformed. Greeting them was Agent Fowler and Ultra Magnus.

“We’ve still got Laserbeak tracked. But I was too hasty in making promises to you. The humans want their Mobile Armored Strike Kommand team to take point on this. Autobot’s will serve as back up.”

“What. Decepticons are our problem!” Cliffjumber complained.

“I know but as our agreement to have Autobot City on Earth, the native population want to handle as much Decepticon as they can. They have a right to call dibs on a strike.”

Arcee spoke up. “So we’re going to sit here and watch them take out our enemies.”

“I’m glad you recognize that Earthers can handle Decepticons quite effectively. Keep in mind things to get too hot for them sometimes and we’re needed to put a punctuation on it.”

Snarling and murmuring, Cliffjumper stomped off.

Matt Trakker was excited to be given point on this sortie. After final victory of their appointed rivals V.E.N.O.M, M.A.S.K had been downgraded to support roles. It was a wonder they were not disbanded altogether.

Laserbeak wasn’t one of the Decepticons best spy because he unwittingly lead the enemy back to their bases. Even if he didn’t know how, he knew that he was being tracked. A call for instructions arranged for backup and a trap.

“I’m not understanding where he’s headed.” Matt Trakker complained.

Agent Fowler spoke to the M.A.S.K. team on behalf of the Autobots.

“The Decepticon’s hide pretty good. Stay with him and be ready for him to disappear or something all of a sudden.”

One of the other M.A.S.K. guys chimed in. “Incoming! Suspected hostiles sighted!”

A visual feed to Autobot city gave the support team an image.

“Stunticons.” Ultra Magnus murmured.

Fowler updated the team. “Those are Stunticons. They’re a wild bunch and their going to come at you hard. Keep away from civilians.”

Ultra Magnus felt compelled to add something. “Operatives beware, this is a gestal group. They can combine into a giant name Menasor. If that happens disengage.”

“Let’s keep that from happening.” Trakker gritted his teeth as five vehicles closed the distance fast.

 

 

Fight Parameters:

 

The M.A.S.K. team must engage the Stunticons in the city streets. They will try to take the fight away from populations.

 

The Stunticons will remain in car mode and will not transform nor combine into Menasor.

 

Who wins?

If the Stunticons can only be in vehicle mode, then I'm going with M.A.S.K. Their vehicles are made for vehicular combat. Cybertronians usually just fight in their robot modes. M.A.S.K. also has flying vehicles, giving them a massive advantage.
