Time Log 3 : Autobots, Transform and Roll Out

From the Journals of Tigatros Primal

	It�s been five weeks since we arrived here in Japan, and
established a buisness. By we, I mean my wife Shampoo, Great
Grandmother Cologne, Mousse, Soap, and Ryoga. Ryoga has been
a great help, showing me where to build, what to do to attract the
crowds and even brings back fresh meats from across the seas and
other places. He says that since becoming Silverback, his flight
capabilities are greatly appreciated. Along with the internal
guidance systems.
	Pop and Mr. Tendo have not given up their damn fool
quest to make me divorce Shampoo and marry a Tendo. Today,
they tried to sic a lunatic Kendoist on my person. One solid flick
to the forehead and he was out like a light. Later, an insane girl
with a ribbon tried to take me through parylisis gas. Good thing
that my body is immune to things like that. She followed the 
flight plan of the Kendoist.
	Next, some wrinkled old man that looked like Great
Grandmother appeared, throwing Panties around. Mother said 
that he was Pop and Mr. Tendo�s old teacher and they must 
have used him as a last resort. He seemed deathly afraid of mom
and Cologne to a lesser extent. Also, over a warm bowl of Ramen
and a few puffs of a pipe, he listened to reason. That, and he
wanted to get some back at his halfwitted students. A man of his
age knew about the Transmutate Monestary and even bowed in
respect to me. I feel honored that a Grand Master would bow to
me in reverence.
	That was about it until yesterday when a curious guy
who smelled like a girl came in, seemingly furious about something.

Ranma added the spices to the broth slowly, to not over spice the
liquid. As he finished, Mousse tossed in a few shrimp for the seafood
Ramen. He looked extremely happy after his lazer eye surgery a
few weeks ago, and he had shed his glasses to a mere .05 strength,
instead of his old 17.34 strengths.

A lilting voice called out, �Ranma, is the food ready yet?�

�Just a second.� Ranma added the boiling noodles with a deft motion
of his wrist and slid them out on the polished hardwood counter.

Shampoo scooped up the food and laid it out before the students.
�Here, one Seafood Ramen, one Beef Ramen and one Pork Ramen.�

Megane and the stormtroopers thanked her and resumed eating,
discussing plans on how to defeat Ataru Moroboshi.

�They can sure eat today, can�t they?� Shampoo said, recieving
two more Ramen.

Cologne nodded from behind the cash register. �They sure can. Hmm,
we�re doing rather well today. How is Ranma and Mousse doing back
there?�

�Not too bad,� Soap chimed in from the coffee machines. She picked
up some mugs and foamed the Cappucinos. Sweeping them into the
tray, she carried them to the patrons at the computer terminals.

Suddenly, the door slammed open and there was a boy, dressed in a
school uniform, a huge spatula strapped to her back. Shampoo�s
sensors snapped into motion. The printouts read over her eyesight.

Detecting levels of hostility, 99.9999999% chance of fight.

Power level of 155 in comparison to 1000 level, Shampoo, hybrid
mode.

Female of species, crossdresser.

Options :

1. Welcome her in
2. Defend the home
3. Ask if Genma has wronged her in any way
4. Ask if she�s one of Genma�s stupid mistakes or engagements

Course of action, 1, 3, then 4.

Iniciate.

�Welcome to the Cybertron Cafe,� she said, �From the battle aura,
I would say that you are looking for a fight. Has this anything to do
with Genma Saotome?�

�Damn right sugar,� she said in a slight southern accent and rather
cute voice. �He took a dowry for Ranma and I. Now, where is the
overweight bastard?�

�I�m sorry, Ranma married before his knowlage of the engagement
and his mother anulled many of the marriages before hand.�
Shampoo rolled her eyes. Not another one! �I�m really sorry but
please, come in and have a seat.�

She sat down and said, �Name�s Kounji Ukyou.�

�Saotome Xian-pu. Call me Shampoo.�

�Saotome? Are you Ranma�s mother?�

Shampoo decided to face the music. �I�m Ranma�s wife.�

The scream was heard just before Ukyou fainted.

<><><>

Ryoga looked about, carrying the huge slab of Russian meat over his
shoulder. Nothing. He was lost again. �Man, that�s the last time I
go out without Transforming first.� He set the meat down on a table
and with a simple command, his body reformed into a machine.
Picking up the meat, his jets blazed to life, sending him into the sky.�

During his flight, a few jets blazed past him, nearly frying the meat
he was carrying. At the most, he dropped it for a half second before
retreving it. �What the hell?� Suddenly, his sensors wailed as two
more zoomed by him, energy weapons blazing. �The fuck?! Those
are Decepticons! Jets, Maximum Burn!�

His jets burst into life and he blazed after the jets, keeping a lock on
their signiture. �Man, they�re on the tail of those two Autobots.
Better give them a rough flight.� He shifted the meat and his forearm
flipped open, revealing twin barrels. Two blasts ruptured the wing
of one of the Decepticons and the seconds turned against him. Ryoga
grinned as his shoulder missles swung into position and fired, sending
twin bolts of destruction at them. The Decepticon swerved to avoid
the missles and fired back. Ryoga responded in kind by using his arm
cannons.

The Decepticon took it in midflight and went spiralling downwards
into the land far below. Ryoga snapped his weapons shut and used
his jets to Maximum Burn.

<><><>

In a barren part of Africa, a time release capsule blinked, its small
yellow insignia flashing. From another capsule, a the time release
activated.

Flashing a few times, the red lights turned to green as the first pod
hissed open. A low tremolo of laughter started to echo as the 
citizen of the first pod ripped through the glass. A ferral scream of
laughter rang in the caverns.

�I liiiive! I LIIIIIIIIVVVVEEEEEEE!� Screamed Tarantulas in
estatic, maniacal joy as he ripped the rest of the Stasis Pod away.

From a second one, a three fingered, two thumbed claw ripped
the glass window as a creature of red and silver ripped, his red eyes 
glowing. �RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!� Dinobot tore 
his way from the stasis pod in a state of primal fury.

Two more ripped open, revealing a certian Fuzor of Arachnid and
Serpentine decent, and one more, a Scorpion blasted its way out.

Beware world, the Predicons are alive.

<><><>

Ukyou awoke to a concerned face of an older woman in her late
thirties, early fourties. She wore a kimono that smelled freshly
laundried. �Hello, you�re awake. I am Nadoka Saotome.�

�Ukyou Kounji. I... that woman, Shampoo, she said she was married
to Ranma. Is that true?�

�I�m afraid so Kounji-san. If this is Genma�s doing, then perhaps we
can help. My son is rather skilled in speaking to people who had
been wronged by Genma.�

Ukyou clenched her hands. �That... that JACKASS! He chose FOOD
over ME!�

�Actually,� Ranma said, entering the room, his now white hair with
the black stripes shining with water as he dried it with a soft towel.
�Genma never told me that you were actually female. I was young and 
under the impression that you were male.�

�WHAT?!�

�It�s true,� Ranma said, sitting down on the edge of the couch. �I didn�t
realize that you were female, so I never understood what Genma meant.�

�Ranma is an honorable young man and probably never understood what
my husband had meant about choosing between Food and You. I am
truely sorry about this Ukyou-san.�

Ukyou slowly stood, and looked him in the eyes. �Ranchan? What 
happened to your eyes?�

Ranma blinked his emerald green eyes and blushed. �It�s a long story. 
Please, stay for tonight. I�m sure that you came a long way from Kyoto.�

Ukyou blushed. �Can.. can I call you Ranchan like before?� she asked,
a shy sence moving into her brain, knocking out her common sence.

�Sure, Ucchan. I�ll get a room ready for you.�

<><><>

Ryoga touched down behind the large resturant/Cyber Cafe, and tossed
the meat into the meat locker that opened automatically, mechanical
hands catching it to hang on the hooks. His body glowed and seemed
to flow into a quasi-human state.

As a Hybrid, Ryoga was HUGE. With huge arms, covered with dark 
silver fur, strong calloused hands, a wide muscular chest, his yellow 
tunic and black pants tight against the pure muscled body, and a open 
gorrila face encircling his face. He had a ring of fur around his collar, 
and his boots nearly burst from the pressure. He opened bright yellow 
eyes and picked up his backpack. Pushing the door open, he switched 
on the lights, dropped his backpack in the closet where it deepened the 
crater by a half inch, and swung on the fridge.

Opening the fridge, he pulled out a cold chicken sandwitch with his 
name labeled on the celophene. Unwrapping it, he took a huge bite 
of the meat, adding a glass of milk in a cup.

As he ate, he never heard the door to the kitchen open. Or the 
whistling of a metal spatula and the scream of shock at seeing a 
seemingly ape man eating peacefully.

Ryoga, meet Mr. Spatula. Mr. Spatula, meet Ryoga.

As the Transformer hit the ground, he saw Ukyou�s face before passing 
out.

<><><>

�Anyone get the number of the Pred that hit me?� Ryoga groaned, 
sitting up. He absently noted that he was back to human state. A default, 
he assumed while rubbing the huge mark on his head.

�Man, we found you lying on the ground after Ucchan beaned you,� 
Ranma said, leaning over the Gorrilla man.

�Ukyou? Was that the name of the Predicon?�

�No Bakaboy,� Shampoo said, poking him between the eyes. �That�s the 
new girl who came to stay with us. Ukyou? Come and meet Ryoga.�

The same chestnut haired girl peeked over him, and waved her hand before 
his eyes. �Um... I�m sorry I hit you.�

Ryoga rose from the couch, looked at her, and grinned. �No problem. 
Ranma, there�s something important I need to tell you.�

�In the morning. It�s quite late,� Nadoka interjected. Beside her, Soap 
and Mousse nodded their agreement. �Ranma, help your student to bed. 
Shampoo, please make sure Ukyou settles down. We do not need another 
repeat of tonight.�

Ranma nodded and helped the Lost Boy to his feet. As a human, he was 
still prone to getting lost, but as Silverback, he could find his way anywhere. 
As Ranma made sure he got in bed, Ryoga grabbed his shirt and hissed, 
�Ranma, I ran into Decepticons. We talk tomorrow.� With that, he fell 
asleep to Ranma�s ashen white face.

�Decepticons...�

<><><>

�And you never saw your assailant clearly Starscream and Jetstorm?�

�We most certianly did NOT Megatron,� Starscream said, kneeling on one
knee. �What is more strange is that I never got a normal reading on him.�

�Hmm... Jetstorm, what do YOU have to say?�

�Not much Oh Mighty Megatron,� the younger Decpticon said, bowing his
head. �Please do not kill me.�

�I won�t kill you. This is most intreaguing. You say that it was rather
small and grey Starscream?�

�Yes.�

Megatron stroked his metal grey chin thoughtfully. �Perhaps the Humans
have developed Personal Fight Suits. Or maybe...�

�Maybe you were foolish to send such PITIFUL Decepticons Mighty
Megatron,� Came a voice.

Megatron whirled on the voice and bellowed, �Who enters here?!�

The clacking of several footsteps on the metal floor was heard, and into
the light strode strange machines of organics and technology. The lead one,
a red, green and dark blue spider snickered darkly as it flipped over and the
front flipped to its back, revealing a archinid body. �I am Tarantulas.�

The evil looking Raptor spun about, the body revealing itself in a ferocious
snarl. �I am Dinobot.�

�YE-HAW! Quickstrike�s th� Name!� The Fuzor spun about to become a
rather short machine on two legs.

�Scorpinok, Terrorize!� The grey scorpion rose on two legs, its mandibles
clacking.

�We are PREDICONS!� Tarantulas proclaimed. �We are your DECENDANTS!�

�Impossible!� Starscream shouted, leveling a cannon at them. Megatron�s
hand reached out and prevented him from firing.

�Let�s hear out these �Predicons�, Starscream. What do you want?�

�Just a piece of the world.� And Tarantulas started to laugh, his body shaking
with the force of the laughter. Megatron joined in and soon, they all were
laughing evilly.

Outside, a hot rod idled, its hearing devices retracting. �I�d better tell Optimus
about this.�

<><><>

The two warriors met and parted, and then clashed together once again. Ryoga
pushed against the shockwave attack that Ranma had unleashed with a burst
of his jets. He floated in the air before opening up with his shoulder missles.
The twin bursts of fury knocked Ranma backwards as the Tiger spun about,
landing on his feet.

He pulled out his pulse cannon and started to rake the Gorrila�s position with
a rapid fire amount of bolts. Ryoga skillfully dodged most of them but a short
burst knocked him backwards. �Ouch, you�re good.�

�Ain�t I? Lets take this animalistic. BEAST MODE!� Ranma�s limbs swung
into the four legged position and fur locked around his body, changing him
into the Bengal Tiger.

Ryoga grinned, fangs flashing. �Two can play at that! BEAST MODE!�
His body spun about on its axis and fur appeared, locking into the joints. He
rose up on both legs and pounded his chest, roaring.

The animals locked together, clashing with insane ferocity. Again and again
went the blazes of energy. Suddenly, a missile came down and slammed into
the ground, throwing them to the sides. Ranma landed on his feet and snarled.
�By the Matrix, what the hell was that?�

�Something you won�t live to know about!� Above, riding on a jet was a
Transformer, a scorpion hybrid. He rose a mandible and clacked it twice,
arming a missile. It burst from its casing, spiralling lazily before impacting on
the ground.

Shampoo came rushing out, followed by elder Cologne and Ukyou.
Shampoo looked up and spat a curse. �SLAG! Preds!�

�Gyaahahahaha! Well well, looks like we got new Maximals to play
with.� Three more Predicons flew in on jet Decepticons which started
to rake the yard with lazer bursts. The spider laughed again. �Tarantulas,
Terrorize!� It flipped up, revealing legs and a body with two arms and
its multiple arms on its shoulders.

�YE HAAAAAWWWW! Quickstrike, Terrorize!� The diminuitive
Predicon transformed into an orange and blue robot.

�It�s a good day for BATTLE! Dinobot...TERRORIZE!!� With a roar,
the brown Raptor changed into a blue, silver and brown robot. It had a
spinning sword and a shield weapon.

�SLAG! Maximals, Maximize!�

With bursts of energy, the three Maximal Hybrids changed into their
combat forms, and drew guns from ports. The skies filled with energy
bolts as the Decepticons backed up the Predicons with bursts of lazers.

Falcona spun and fired tiny missles from her wrist, protecting the
two humans below. She caught a bolt on her shoulder and winced.
�YO! BIG GUY, HELP ME HERE!�

A bit put off by her comment, two jets protruded from Silverbacks�
back and he flew up into the air, followed by Primal. The three 
exhanged shots with the Predicons who fired back at them.

Tarantulas found that for three Maximals, they were better than they
were. So...

Aiming at the people down below, he unleashed a rapid fire attack at
Elder Cologne, the bullets flying at an incredible speed. Time seemed
to slow as the Elder was too shocked to move. Suddenly, she was
hurled away as Ukyou pushed her, and blocked the first bullet. Then,
five more pierced her skin. Tarantulas grinned. �All Predicons, fall
back!�

Quickstrike turned to him, shocked. �Yo LEGS! We�re winning! Aaa!�
A bolt from Silverbacks� double barrels caught him in the face and he
went tumbling down to the yard.

�Fall back! The mission is completed!�

As the Predicons rode away on their Decepticon ancestors, Silverback
and Falcona celebrated wildly. �We beat their butts! Kicked some cold
slag!� Silverback cheered.

�Give me some high titanium!� The pair exchanged high fives. But
a cold howl chilled their souls as the pair looked downwards to see
Primal holding the bullet riddled body of Ukyou. �No...� Shampoo�s
face drained of color. She only knew the girl a few days but she was a
gentle soul.

Ranma wept over her body, his head nestled in her chest. Suddenly, his
eyes snapped open. �A heartbeat....� He looked around frantically.

Silverback landed and asked, �What�s wrong?�

�An animal! We need an animal!�

�But we�re too far from the zoo!�

Just then, a cute little mouse came padding up, smelling the blood. It
looked up cutely at them and Tigatros Primal�s eyes lit up. �Here�s
the animal.� He reached down and picked it up and placed it on her
heart. Then, producing the Matrix, he wished once again.

The Matrix flared with power for a second, the light blinding. Then,
amidst the light, a golden hand reached up and cupped Primal�s
chin. �Prichan....� she whispered as the light died down.

In place of Ukyou was a beautiful gold and dark brown female robot,
her hair seemingly organic. Inteligant eyes looked out on the world.
�Prichan...I saw the Matrix....�

�Ukyou?� Shampoo asked.

�She�s even more lovely than ever,� Silverback whispered.

The girl smiled a bit. �I...my name now is....Mouse.�

Silverback gallently offered his hand to her to help her up, pulling 
out some poetry from somewhere. �Then, Milady, may I offer my
hand to you?�

She smiled egmatically. �To quote the Raven; Nevermore.�
