\u201cDirt Boss!\u201d hissed Override. \u201cI think I made it clear that I\u2019m your enemy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, that will change,\u201d replied Dirt Boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, we\u2019re gonna change your mind real easy-like!\u201d called one of his thugs in a nasal voice, a small Mech with motorcycle alt-mode kibble named Ransack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll be one of us with Tarantulas\u2019 machine hooked up to your head!\u201d laughed the second thug, a brute of a mech named Crumplezone with the alt-mode kibble of a three-wheeled rocket car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Boys,\u201d hissed Dirt Boss, \u201cI thought I told you NOT to spoil our plan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Oh,\u201d gulped Ransack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOops,\u201d mumbled Crumplezone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow I\u2019m DEFINITELY not going with you!\u201d snarled Override.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re talking as if you have a choice. Ransack! Crumplezone! Open fire!\u201d The three Vehicons drew their weapons and unleashed a storm of laser fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTake cover!\u201d shouted Optimus. Everyone took cover behind the chunks of road and fired back. Sonic zipped around to give them a target while Amy went behind Ransack. She then leapt up and swung her signature hammer down on his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOW!\u201d cried Ransack. He then looked around, only to see Sonic spin-dash him in the face. \u201cCome on!\u201d he wailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCatch us if you can!\u201d taunted Sonic as he scooped up Amy and took off. Ransack and his cohorts blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid\u2026did an organic\u2026?\u201d stumbled Ransack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter him, you fool! AFTER HIM!\u201d shouted Dirt Boss as he resumed shooting at the people below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRansack, HIGHTAIL!\u201d The wheel on Ransack\u2019s back rotated so it was vertical instead of horizontal, then his arms and shoulders folded to his front as his head sunk into the torso to make the front of a motorcycle. His legs then rotated so the wheels united and then the whole assembly met the arms and his transformation into motorcycle mode was completed. He sped off after them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone on the ground still shot at Crumplezone and Dirt Boss, although, not without critique. Override was shooting under the overpass. \u201cOverride, shoot straight, for crying out loud!\u201d called Cheetor. \u201cYou\u2019re missing them by a parsec!\u201d Just then, Dirt Boss and Crumplezone felt a tremor under their feet. The road then gave way beneath them, and they fell to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s more than one way to skin a cat, so to speak,\u201d chuckled Override.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTaking out the supports!\u201d realized Optimus. \u201cFast thinking, Override!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPart of the job description,\u201d replied Override.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know, if you keep this up, you might be the next Prime!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think I\u2019m fine as the leader of my planet. We better find Sonic and Amy, then get out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOr they could come to you,\u201d called Sonic as he and Amy returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026That\u2019s easy enough.\u201d Override then turned back to Optimus. \u201cYou lead the way, I\u2019ll catch up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight. Everyone, let\u2019s go!\u201d Everyone then headed off once the bots transformed and the organics rode them. Override brought up the rear\u2026leaving her open! Tarantulas leapt at her and sunk his fangs into her chassis. Override tried to get away, but the venom that flooded her systems overpowered her and she stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Override was taken to the Decepticon ship, forcibly transformed to robot mode, and hooked up to a machine with a prong aimed at her head. The venom had worn off during the transformation, so she tried to get away. Dirt Boss, Saurion, Megatron, and Weirdwolf stood by as Tarantulas made the final adjustments. \u201cYou creeps!\u201d snarled Override. \u201cYou won\u2019t get away with this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBelieve me, I didn\u2019t want to go this far, sweetie,\u201d replied Dirt Boss, \u201cbut your speech has caused a dip in Vehicon morale, and I won\u2019t stand for it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Tarantulas had this device just begging to be used, yes!\u201d chuckled Saurion. \u201cThe Transmuter, stellar-cycles in the design, but infinitely well worth the effort, Convoy, as you are about to discover, yes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe REALLY need that vocal tic of yours looked at,\u201d muttered Megatron. He then looked around. \u201cWhere\u2019s Eggman?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe and Morgaine,\u201d explained Weirdwolf, \u201care busy trying to open the Planet Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, something equally as important,\u201d mused Megatron. \u201cWell, we shouldn\u2019t disturb them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf I can just patch into her comms,\u201d muttered Clocker as he and his group searched for Override, \u201cI might be able to find her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI say we just go after her!\u201d urged Cheetor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSlow down a second, kitty-cat,\u201d replied Sonic. \u201cWe can\u2019t exactly do that if we don\u2019t know where she is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSonic\u2019s right,\u201d agreed Goldbug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI got her!\u201d called Clocker. \u201cShe\u2019s at the\u2026oh no!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh no what?\u201d asked Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s in the Decepticon Ship!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo the Cons have her prisoner!\u201d growled Amy. The comms then played Override\u2019s conversation with the Decepticon leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re going to finish me anyway,\u201d her voice grunted, \u201cdo me a favor! Shut up and get on with it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinish you, Override?\u201d purred Saurion\u2019s voice. \u201cOh, no, we\u2019ve only just started with you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll calibrations complete, Lord Megatron!\u201d cackled Tarantulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen activate the Transmuter!\u201d ordered Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTransmuter?!\u201d yelped Clocker. \u201cThat\u2019s a brain-washing device! They\u2019re gonna reprogram her into a Vehicon!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow we REALLY gotta save her!\u201d urged Cheetor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnfortunately,\u201d sighed Goldbug, \u201cwe don\u2019t have the forces needed to save her!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Transmuter\u2019s prong fired a stream of energy into the back of Override\u2019s head, causing her a massive processor-ache. The treatment lasted a few seconds until Tarantulas powered it down. The only noticeable difference was that her alt-mode canopy on her torso was red instead of blue. Her optics then rebooted into a nasty red color! She then burst free of her restraints. After that, she smiled wickedly at the Decepticon leaders. \u201cAfternoon, all!\u201d she purred. \u201cThis a private club or can anybody join?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet me be the first to welcome you,\u201d replied Dirt Boss. \u201cEveryone, meet our new Vehicon soldier!\u201d Eggman and Morgaine then entered the room via one of Morgaine\u2019s teleport spells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo need for transmats, my dear,\u201d she purred to Eggman as she stroked his mustache. The bots then shuddered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, don\u2019t pretend this is abnormal,\u201d Eggman rebuked to his comrades. \u201cNow, what\u2019s this I hear about Velocitron\u2019s leader coming to her senses and joining us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat would be me,\u201d replied Override, getting his attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI lost her!\u201d wailed Clocker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGreat, now we\u2019re hosed!\u201d groaned Cheetor. \u201cImagine if someone like Rhinox were under that kind of influence! Better dead than Pred, I say!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re all that hosed, Cheetor,\u201d mused Optimus. A grin then crossed his face. \u201cWe just need to leave her there for a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWHAT?!\u201d protested Llyra. \u201cOptimus, have you got a few bugs in your systems directory?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, but I\u2019ve got a hunch the Decepticons may have gotten more than they bargained for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
