"You've got to be kidding me," Rastun said. Immediately, he flies out of the ship and blasts at the attacker from a suitable distance with the Astafanel's wrist cannons.

Zod was knocked back by the blast Surprised by the force

"Hmm seems I underestimated their firepower, time for a tactical retreat. They will try to persue me through my traps."

Cy-kill took to his cycle form & sped off Zod followed.

"Well that was anti-climactic..." Brainwave noted. "Rastun, see if you can get close enough to the guy that thing is following for me to ID him. I want to know who this is before we over commit to dealing with him. Be careful though, if Sideways wants him to be a decoy he surely has some sort of trap set up."

I want to know who this is before we over commit to dealing with him. Be careful though, if Sideways wants him to be a decoy he surely has some sort of trap set up."

"Got it," Rastun replies. He trails the retreating mechanoids, keeping himself as distant as possible. This was similar to when he was trailing Brainwave and Megatron, but Rastun hopes their sensors aren't as good as the Transtech's.

Studying the video feed the Transtech became reasonably convinced the person controlling the Zod was indeed the notorious Cy-kill. "Alright Rastun, that's enough. I'm pretty sure I know who this is and I want to bait him into a trap."

"A trap you say? I can do that. How complex are we talking?" Inquired Megatron.

"Oh nothing too complex, he's an idiot."

"Excellent." Megatron couldn't help but smirk. "Laying traps for idiots is always amusing. Alright here's what I want to do, Waspinator and Inferno I want you two to give pursuit. Follow him through a couple of his traps if you can. At which point I want you to fake being defeated and retreat back to the ambush position where we will all be hiding at strategic intervals using Brainwave's optical camouflage. Once he's been baited into the ambush zone we'll take turns surprising him. The first one should ideally chase him into the next until we overwhelm and capture him. Will that be sufficient?"

"That sounds more than sufficient."

Rastun stopped following their attacker, and listened to the plan. After Megatron was done explaining, he replies, "I don't see anything wrong with that."

"That sounds more than sufficient."

"Waspinator no like this plan what if Waspinator gets defeated for real?"

"Well Waspinator, unfortunately for you you're one of the most expendable..." Megatron paused for a moment to work up the nerve to finish the sentence. "...creeedible threats." He finished, cringing slightly as the words left his mouth.

"Fear not Waspinator, The Children of Primus never leave one of their own behind. Just remember how we all stuck together during those raids on the Cauldron. Now let us do our duty for the colony!" Concluded Inferno's oddly inspirational speech.

"Waspinator has very bad feeling about this..."

Waspinator's hesitance was wearing very thin on Brainwave. "Alright enough of this. Waspinator, you can either go be the bait or I can lobotomize you and then you can go be the bait. Pick one."

"Eugh fiiiine...Waspinator will go" Waspinator groaned dejectedly.

"An Alien city! But there has been people on mars for decades...how come no one has seen this before"

"Maybe they didn't want to be seen"

The city sent forward a probe

"We're picking up a huge surge of energy...We're under attack!" Ebony preemptively attacked the probe with missiles which annihilated the city in a blinding flash.

The once golden glow turned bright red and white.

"What have we done?"

"It was coming straight for us!"

"It could have been some kind of scan!"

"Come on Paul what were you expecting me to do wait until we were blown to pieces before firing back?"

"We've destroyed the whole city..."

A green circle appeared before them and the city miraculously returned

"Not yet we haven't. Let get out of here!"

Outrage they felt, absolute outrage. His people were destroyed in the blast even though he could recreate himself he could not recreate them. These insects had doomed his people to extinction, they had to repay these fools in kind.

The duo sped away from the city and a second probe was sent to intercept them.

They were perused until they ran down a hill and crashed into a land formation

Three green circles hovered around the vehicle

"Earthmen this is the voice of the Hystorons, we have watched you for centuries your violence disgusts us...and now you visit it upon us. You cannot destroy us earthmen but now we will crush your world."

A large green light visited them both and all the two men could do is scream in terror.

Mars Surface

Mikhail flinched upon hearing an explosion go off the distance while hearing nothing but noise from the nearby comm.
'What the hell is going on, did someone get attacked? Is that why comms aren't working? I'll head back to the hangar, I'll be a sitting duck if they cross over here' Mikhail swiftly about faced and headed back towards the Delta.
'If they don't head this way it won't be a problem but better safe than sorry' Mikhail ducked low during his run hoping to avoid catching the attention of anyone deciding to fly pass at that moment.

Orbit Above Far Side of Mars

"Sir, our scouts have returned!"
Two soldiers broke from their run and saluted as quickly as they could in front of Commander Gueler while delivering their report.
Gueler remained composed while addressing the soldiers,
"Hm... this is slightly concerning. We will delay the Operation until we can confirm if this unknown faction will become an interference. Ensure all the officers are informed of this."
"Yes Sir!" the scouters turned to the aides relaying the message to be delivered to the officers. Gueler began preparing a report to be sent back to the Gradosian homeworld on the status of the Operation.
"We must not fail this time, even if these supposed "Transformers" are the enemy" Gueler thought to himself as he began opening the communication link.

Paul awoke and was met with Ebonys limp body

"Conrad? Conrad?" he shook his friends limp body still clinging his fiance's picture.

"SOMEBODY HELP!"

Waspinator's hesitance was wearing very thin on Brainwave. "Alright enough of this. Waspinator, you can either go be the bait or I can lobotomize you and then you can go be the bait. Pick one."

"Eugh fiiiine...Waspinator will go" Waspinator groaned dejectedly.

"Well, I'm glad that's settled," Rastun said. The threat of lobotomy can be a very effective tool of persuasion.

In Japan on a mountainside across from New Saotome Institute

"Its been a while since we've last piloted a Getter"

"I feel a lot safer piloting a Getter then riding in your Car Ryo, after all I feel Getter Poseidon's arms and legs are my own" quipped a large man chewing food.

"I wonder if you've gotten rusty Benkei!"

"You should worry about yourself instead of me."

"I'm happy to hear that Getter G's power and controllability are light years ahead of the first generations" Said a tall man in the backseat.

"Me too I wish that you could've piloted a first generation Getter!"

"If I had maybe that incident would have been straightened out a whole lot sooner" Benkei said while stuffing his mouth.

"You've got a Quip for any occasion."


Their banter was interrupted by the site of smoke coming from the lab.

"What the..."

Art and Blackrock just felt the entire lab shake.

"Hey whats going on I didn't hear any reports of any more attacks!"

"No idea whats going on here the Getter Pilots aren't even...oh no I hope to christ I'm wrong"

"What Blackrock? Spill it!"

"I've heard rumors there's been movement in the earths mantle...the Dinosaur Empire has returned!"
"You didn't bother to warn anyone over this outside of those misfits in the lab?"
"I sure as hell wouldn't tell your outfit."

Terry and Billy learned of unidentified sources arriving at Mars.... Colonel Johnson briefed that it is unknown if they are allies or not... Terry agreed to scout out the targets to confirm if they are possible allies...

"Thanks Terry for your help" Billy proclaim as he walks out the conference room towards the hanger... Terry nodded and head to his chambers as the operation will begin in about 4 hours.... He might need the rest.

In his chambers his two bitches appered suddenly

"Hi girls" terry said ignorantly

"Hi Terry!"

They said suddenly sporting long inhuman tongues

In the back of his mind, Rastun wondered about how long the crew of the Nadesico would stay knocked out. He felt that it's been quite a while since Lance drugged them with the kool-aid, and them waking up right in the middle of this situation would be inopportune, even locked in their cabins as they are. Hopefully, the drug lasts long enough to keep them unconscious until after they dealt with this problem.

Mars Surface

The hangar shook from the explosions caused by the ufos but held as none of them were direct hits... yet. Taking no chances Mikhail quickly climbed into Delta for the small measure of comfort it provided.
'Never seen these flyers before, just who is behind this attack? Could it be the Decepticons again? This doesn't seem like they're style' Mikhail thought as Delta finally began to move.
'No point jumping into a firefight half-cocked, first I'll get some distance then decide where I'm needed after that... I just hope everyone else can hold out till then'
Jamming the controls in haste the the Delta transformed before quickly rocketing out of the hangar getting distance in between itself and the probes.

Mars Orbit, Near Side

"Sir, we've gotten a close match, it's likely a Vegan Scout! and two unknowns have been spotted on the far side in the path of our attack pattern, we believe it might be a fighter craft of some sort!"
"Those Vegan scum... how dare they get in the path of the Great Gradosian Empire!" Gosterro growled at the informant who could do nothing but swallow his spit as a reply.
"We won't let them steal this glorious moment of conquest! We'll move forward with the attack immediately! If those two unknown flying craft remain in our path shoot them down before they have a chance to respond!"
"But Sir, the other lieutenants have not yet given the call sign for complete preparations-"
"Then command them to finish on the double! Once our first strike is complete we'll snuff out the Vegan scum and wipe them off the surface as well!"
"Y-yes Sir! Right away!" The informant quickly left to pass on the orders while Gosterro silently seethed as he left his presence.
"Those damn bastards won't get in our way this time... but mere scouts won't be enough... I'll have Gale attack these "unknown crafts", with any luck a stray hit will get him out of my hair, heheheheh..."

General Blitz assumed his more human disguise and rested on his control room desk deep inside the face of mars
