~~~Episode Thirty-Three~~~
Skywarp stood, his optics glaring down on Zeph and Spike. His attention shifted to Bumblebee as the Autobot cursed at him, trying to lift his own weapon. Skywarp reacted quickly, aiming for Bumblebee’s head with a growl of annoyance.
Suddenly a shot was fired – causing both Spike and Zeph to flinch. The shot plowed into Skywarp’s wing, forcing him to step back and he fired, the blast tearing through the ceiling. Wheeljack fired again and again until Skywarp did what he did best – he flickered and disappeared, warping away.
Haku carefully slid down, jumping the rest of the way and running over to Zeph and Spike.
“You guys alright?”
He asked as Wheeljack knelt down beside Bumblebee. Spike nodded,
“Yeah, we’re fine. Thundercracker took off once Wheeljack shot Skywarp, but I don’t know where Starscream and Soundwave are.”
There was a groan as Wheeljack helped Bumblebee to his feet.
“Hang on Bee, don’t stress yourself to much. You took quite a bit of damage.”
Wheeljack said. Bumblebee put his hand to the wall to steady himself, nodding slightly.
“Yeah…slaggin’ ‘con got a lucky shot.”
Wheeljack glanced around,
“Wait, where’s Ratchet?”
“He was in the medbay with Yuri.”
Zeph informed the mechanic, and Haku stiffened. He turned to Wheeljack,
“We need to get to the medbay then.”
He said, trying not to sound worried. Wheeljack nodded,
“Right.”

“Blizzaga!”
Yuri shouted, thrusting her hands forward. The formed a thin wall of ice to cover the panel, preventing Lazerbeak from flying in. Instead, the bird like transformer hit against the ice, causing it to crack. Yuri crawled back further into the panel, pulling herself up onto a rather large wire.
She started to climb up into the equipment as she heard the ice shatter and Ravage running after her. She had her size to benefit her, but she could hear Ravage climbing up after her. She grabbed onto a wire and swung over to a small jutted out piece of metal, turning,
“Blizzaga!”
Ravage landed right where the ice had spread, and her claws slid across the slick metal and wire. She skidded, unable to find friction, and fell.
Yuri stood for a moment, breathing rather heavily from her rapid climb. Her eyes widened as she heard the groan of metal bending, and turned as a fist ripped through the covering above her. Yuri didn’t react in time, and cried out as the hand wrapped around her, its grip crushingly painful.
Rumble smiled as Soundwave pulled his hand out of the control panel, holding Yuri tightly.
“Heh, this human’s somethin’ special ‘Wave.”
The cassette said, crossing his arms as he walked over to the larger transformer.
“Let me go!”
Yuri shouted, though resisting the giant robot was useless. Ravage and Lazerbeak came out of the control panel, coming up beside their fellow cassette. Ravage yowled angrily at Yuri, but silenced herself when Soundwave spoke.
“We have one of the humans. Frenzy, eject. Buzzsaw, eject.”
Soundwave’s chest opened, letting two cassettes out. They transformed into equally small transformers, Frenzy landing beside Rumble and Buzzsaw flying up onto Soundwave’s shoulder.
“Find the other humans.”
Soundwave ordered in his monotone voice.

Haku ran ahead, stopping and peeking around the corner. He tensed, seeing who he guessed was Starscream.
He glanced back, shaking his head to Wheeljack. The mechanic paused, and Haku ran out into the open.
“Hey Decepti-creep!”
Haku shouted, pulling his katana from their sheath aggressively. Starscream turned from the door he was trying to get through, his ruby optics falling upon Haku. He smiled,
“What a surprise. You seem to be one of the new humans the Autobots have picked up. You saved me the time of going to find you.”
“Find me? What the hell do you want with me you robo-retard?”
Haku asked, narrowing his eyes. Starscream came towards him rather quickly, and Haku froze. He tried to move, to act out the plan he had quickly made – but again his fear prickled up.
A white form came running; slamming into Starscream and knocking him off his path. Haku looked up, seeing Wheeljack standing in front of him protectively. He turned his optics to Haku,
“Haku, are you alright?”
He asked as Starscream got back to his feet. Haku nodded, snapping out of his daze.
“Yeah, just fine. Sorry – Wheeljack!”
Haku’s voice peaked slightly as he saw Starscream aim and fire. Wheeljack turned and sidestepped, the blast skimming his side. He stepped back, firing several times at Starscream with his own weapon.
Haku suddenly noticed where they were – the repair dock. Starscream had been trying to get into the repair area, where the Gummi Ship was. But he didn’t have much time to think about this as Wheeljack shouted his name.
“Haku, get back!”
Haku whipped around to see Wheeljack and Starscream slam into each other. Haku ran back a bit, but stayed close. He glanced at the katana in his hands, opening his palm slowly to look at the blades. The hand grip area was covered in charms and strange writing…he only understood some of it. He had been given these katana not just for weapons, but for other reasons that only Haku knew. He clenched his fists, and then turned as Wheeljack was slammed back into the wall.
He glared, and then ran forward, darting across the floor towards the two robots. Starscream lifted his fist, only to cry out as pain jolted up his leg. He growled, turning angrily to see Haku pull his katana from his left leg, glaring challengingly at the Decepticon. Starscream stepped away from Wheeljack, throwing the mechanic to the ground as he again came after Haku.
