transformer roleplaying continue.

[Rorschach]

*I sense Starscream's approach and stop dead, quickly transforming*

Starscream, old friend, do you really wish to fight someone in this conditon?

*I indicate my heavily scarred, ravaged body*

Where is the honor in that? Let me find a way to heal and then I promise you, we will duel then...

[Lithium]

*I lightly push Optimus away and stand beside Lithium.* "She's like my big sister now. And family sticks together. No one or nothing can bring us down when we have eternal strength like that. We'll keep fighting and will avenge Jazz." I say helping Lithium to her feet.* "And if you fail to see that, then I sugest that you back off." *I growl with anger in my voice." "It's gonna take alot more than a couple of Decepticons to bring it before we fall."

*Optimus sighs, "Swift, I know you and Lithium are close. I'm not trying to get between the two of you. I'm thinking about your safety and the safety of the team. We're happy to protect you but you are both being targeted by the decepticons. And there's more than just a couple of them!"
"Optimus, I understand what you mean but there's nothing more I want than to have my vengeance on Megatron! It's what I live for! Don't take that away from me!" I exclaim, but quietly as I'm still pretty weak from Nightshade's attack.
"I know that but you're not gonna get any vengeance with Megatron! Not, at least, until I've trained you up. You seem to have forgotten what I taught you on Cybertron."
"Not everything ... " I reply, bowing my head in embarrassment.
"Lithium, I'll train you and Swift. But you have to promise me that from now on you don't go anywhere without me or at least one or two of the autobots."
I nod.*

[Swift]

*Optimus sighs, "Swift, I know you and Lithium are close. I'm not trying to get between the two of you. I'm thinking about your safety and the safety of the team. We're happy to protect you but you are both being targeted by the decepticons. And there's more than just a couple of them!"

"Not everything ... " I reply, bowing my head in embarrassment.
"Lithium, I'll train you and Swift. But you have to promise me that from now on you don't go anywhere without me or at least one or two of the autobots."
I nod.*

*But I shake my head.* "I'm use to roughing it. Plus, my fighting style is Decepticon, in case you forgot. But I will stay with a few Autobots if nessicery." *I sigh looking away."

[Lithium]

*But I shake my head.* "I'm use to roughing it. Plus, my fighting style is Decepticon, in case you forgot. But I will stay with a few Autobots if nessicery." *I sigh looking away."

*"I haven't forgotten, Swift. But if you don't want to recieve my training, I can't force you." Optimus says and then turns to me, "We'll wait until ratchet patches you up. We might be able to install a missile launcher (or two) for you ... but better wait to see what Ratchet says first."
Ratchet walks over and starts repairing me. He says, "Look, kid, I dunno how I feel about attaching a missile launcher to you. I've seen worst wounds being inflicted on you. But I'll see what we have in stock."
He walks over and starts examinig some missile launchers in a nearby box.
"Wait a minute ..." Ratchet walks back and inspects me. "You've already got missiles! Why have'nt you used them, kid?"
"I can't. I try to but nothing happens." I reply.
"Alright, I can fix that," Ratchet says and gets to work on my missiles. He successfully reapirs them.
"Thanks Ratchet," I smile.
"No worries. It's my job." Ratchet replies. "But I think I better upgrade you. These are obvious ly not enough to fend off any decepticons."
He get's a large missile launcher and tells me to lay down on a nearby table. He gives me something to knock me unconscious and get's to work on attaching my new improved missiles.*

*Transforms a few meters away*

In case you forgot ROGUE, Decepticons kill all traitors and inferior Autobots, whether they're in full health or NOT!

*raising voice on last word, pulls out laser rifles and fires them at full power*

And i am NOT your old friend, you traitor!

OOC: For Lasershadow, who cannot log on but has requested this:
*nearby, in the Autobot base, Lasershadow bursts in*
Hey guys, Starscream and Rorschach are duking it out! And for once we're not involved! Isn't that COOL?!
*Lasershadow does a double thumbs up, a cheesy grin, then runs back out*

[Rorschach]

*Following my brief confrontation with Starscream, in which my involvment was a quick barrage of RPGs and a lone EMP grenade, I lock onto some nearby Autobot signatures and move in that direction, eventually coming across their encampment and land*

I come in peace, Autobots

*To prove this, I deactive my extensive aresnal*

[Swift]

"Wow Lith! You is gettin' all snazzed up today!" I laugh checking out the big-ass weapon that Ratchet held in front of her.

[Lithium]

*I wake about a megacycle later. I try to get up but there's something weighing my left shoulder down. I look to find a KAB-1500 missile attached to it.
"You won't believe this but you were missing one of these. Now you can attack cons on the ground and they can't run and hide from it," Ratchet laughs. "It's laser-guided! I also had a look at your accuracy unit and made some adjustments. You should find an improvement now."
I thank Ratchet and get up slowly.
"It's quite heavy. It'll take some getting used to but it's very pretty!" I say, beaming.
"Are you ready to start training, Autobot Lithium?" Optimus asks me from behind.
I jump.
"Hehe, I'm ready," I reply.
Optimus starts teaching me the ways of the autobot and how to fight like one."

[megatron42]

soundwave to megatron.. sunstorm will be here in the next stellar cycle
megatron excellent soundwave once he arrives send him to me
as you wish megatron

[Lithium]

*After a few megacycles of extensive training, Optimus and I emerge from the basement. I could barely move from exhaustion.
"You did well today, Lithium" Optimus puffed. "I wasn't expecting you to remember as much as you did."
"Thanks," I replied. "It brought back good memories."
We smile at each other reminiscently before heading to our bunkers. Everyone was asleep by then, so we quietly chatted atop our bunkers about old times.
"You know you've changed, Optimus," I said to him. "You've matured a lot!"
"And you haven't." He replied.
We chuckled quietly.
"I miss Cybertron ... do you ever think about going back there? I know it's been torn apart by the war but it's still home!"
"I can't bare the thought of it, Lith," Optimus said, almost whispered. "Yes, Cybertron was our home. Yes, I loved it dearly. But, no I cannot go back there ... not after seeing so many of my loved ones and comrades die there."
"I'm sorry but ... I know how you feel. I just ... I don't think I'll ever stop missing it .... and I'll never ever stop missing Jazz ... The only time I ever get to see him now is in my dreams ... "
"Then go be with him, my friend. At least you have a loved one to greet you in the land of nod each night. Goodnight." Optimus said softly.
"Goodnight, Optimus." I replied, sniffing.
I let the darkness consume me, taking me into my dreams to be with my brother.*

[megatron42]

megatron sunstorm has arrived.. megatron excellent

[Starscreamisthebest]

megatron sunstorm has arrived.. megatron excellent

*Hides around corner, waiting for Sunstorm to appear. As he passes i jump out and tackle him. All seriousness is gone at the moment*

Sunstorm! How's it going, little brother?

[Swift]

*Hours after everyone is busy snorring away, I sneak out into the dark of the night. There is no full moon out, so I'm safe for the time being.* "Autobots. They can get very annoying at times." *I mutter transforming and driving off. Just then, I pick up a Decepticon energy signal coming from up ahead.* "Ha! Bring it sucka! I am dying to kill something today!" *I growl as I race off towards it.*

[Rorschach]

*I glance around the desterted area where my sensors registered Autobot signatures*

Damnit...Meagatron must've messed me up worse than I thought, there's nothing here but my sensors indicated otherwise...

*I hear a brief blip and spot something on my Heads-Up Display*

Autobot signature moving into the area...

*I Look to the horizon and spot Swift racing towards me....*

[Swift]

"HOLY SHIT!!!" *I honk the horn franticly as I swerve to avoid hitting Rorschach who is in the middle of the road. I flip over one of the ditches and roll a few times. After getting smashing up, I lay there as my car mode smokes and lays in a mangled heap.

[Rorschach]

*I limp towards Swift's smoking wreckage and offer a hand*

You still look better than me, Autobot...

[Swift]

*I grab Rorschach's hand and slowly pull myself up.* "oww! Stupid ditches!" *I turn my attention to him.* "And you stay off the road!" *I growl at him. Something then starts to glow from in the air. I look over at a nearby building to see a pale streak of moonlight shining across it.* "Oh slag..."

[Rorschach]

*I notice Swift's expression and turn around*

Um....I'm guessing something very bad's about to happen, right?

[Swift]

"Oh yeah..." *I reply faintly, then make a dash and hide under a building as the moon's rays fall around.* "Great, I'm stuck under here until this pesky light goes away!!"

[Rorschach]

Ya know, you could be a little less vague, I mean is it a potential battle? Because in case you haven't noticed, I'm roughly 3/4 dead at this point and would like to be at the very least half dead before I fight again

[Swift]

"Well, go ahead and go kill some Decepticreeps then! I can't go nowhere until this stupid moon goes away! Grr!" *I snarl at him.* "You have no idea what the hell will happen if I leave."

[Rorschach]

Look, you're really starting to freak me out, because like I said, I can't fight in my condition, I'm 3/4 dead, my scanners are faulty, most of my weapons are barely functional and my opitcs are shot to shit, so if you can't fight, please, call in some backup

[megatron42]

*Hides around corner, waiting for Sunstorm to appear. As he passes i jump out and tackle him. All seriousness is gone at the moment*

Sunstorm! How's it going, little brother?

hello sis.. been a long time, seems like an autobot challenged me

[megatron42]

*Hours after everyone is busy snorring away, I sneak out into the dark of the night. There is no full moon out, so I'm safe for the time being.* "Autobots. They can get very annoying at times." *I mutter transforming and driving off. Just then, I pick up a Decepticon energy signal coming from up ahead.* "Ha! Bring it sucka! I am dying to kill something today!" *I growl as I race off towards it.*

"why, you CREEPER!! Fine, want me to bring it? I'll show you how we Autobts like to fight!" *I say jumping up and scything out my blades. Several heiroglypics glow apon my armor.* "Phew! Thank god my "dark spark" didn't take over again." *I mutter looking away.*
