"This new predacon has been seen, Optimas." Rhinox pressed some buttons on sentinel.

"Well?" Optimas asked.

"Its beast form is a Black Dragon, a mythical creature of medieval times." Rhinox said.

"Any weaknesses?" Optimas asked again.

"Just two, water and magic. But it seems very young, like a five year old or in that age." Rhinox answered.

"Prime, maybe Silverbolt knows something of this predacon's beast mode. Silverbolt, report to me at once." Optimas tapped his comlink.

Minutes later.

"You called me Optimas?" Silverbolt asked. "Do you know anything about Dragons? Black Dragons?" Optimas questioned.

"Yes, why?" Silverbolt said confused.

"A new predacon has been spotted, we don't think is was a threat until we found out its form was a black dragon. We must get some information on this mythical creature." Optimas said.

"I have some books on Black Dragons and some practical knowledge." Silverbolt grabbed a couple books out of nowhere.

"Good, we need all the info we need." Optimas looked at the books.

Scaleblade's quarters

Scaleblade sat in her quarters carefully studying a book called. "The Black Wing" Scaleblade all so loved poetry and such stories sometimes she read the words aloud in pleasure. She needed some entertainment after all that's happened she had a headache. "Anger is energy spent foolishly." She read. Scaleblade knew much about the old common tongue and such medieval languages. Sometimes she would speak in her most favorite language to confuse others, she loved how they looked after she had devoted their thoughts into what was she was saying. "A time came for a young nyphid to develop her magical nature and learn qhen. She walked up to the pod of her teacher uncle and said, "It is time for me to become the finest nyphid qhen, How long must I study?"

"Ten years at least," Her teacher uncle said.

"Ten years is a long time." Said the young female. " What if I studied twice as hard as thine students?"

"Twenty years," replied her teacher uncle.

"Twenty years! What if I study all day and night with all my effort?"

"Thirty years,"

"How come when thou tells you thou will work hard it will take longer?"

"The answer is clear, when one eye is fixed on the destination, one eye is left to see the way there." Scaleblade said. She understood what that meant but she even believed that she was becoming qhen she imagined herself one day having the ability to shapechange perfectly but she was not very good at this qhen stuff.

"I see you know the old common tongue." Blackaracnia had to ask. Scaleblade growled at her in fear 'cause she hated all spiders. "Don't worry, I'm not like big mean Tarantulas at all." Blackaracnia said kindly.

"How dous't thee know the old common tongue?" Scaleblade asked.

"Well I don't know how to talk like that but my boyfriend knows a lot about it." Blackaracnia answered.

"Is this boyfriend of thee a dragon slayer?" Scaleblade asked again.

"No, well I don't think so. I never saw him slay not even a wild beast native to this planet." Blackaracnia thought for a moment.

"Can thee fill me in on what is happening?" Scaleblade asked confused.

"Well, I guess, oh and by the way my name is Blackaracnia and you don't have to talk like that." Blackaracnia smiled.

"Ok, Blackaracnia." Scaleblade smiled back.

Maximal Base

"Look alive maximals. We have a new threat. A black dragon has joined the ranks of the Predacons. Causing a new threat." Optimas said to all the maximals crowded in the command chamber.

"But how could that be? Black Dragon's are mythical lizards." Cheetor said in disbelief.

"It could have been a error on the stasis pod, or he or she always had the form." Rhinox said.

"Dino-bot sent us some interesting information when he was spying on he or she in the forest." Optimas pushed a button and a hologram of Scaleblade came up. "It seems to be female, but is too small to be adult. What do you think Rhinox? Juvenile? Teen?" Optimas asked.

"Looks like it's in the five year old section maybe six." Rhinox closely examines the hologram.

"What! A five year old!? They're letten' a kid that young in the Beast Wars!? HA! They must be desperate!" Rat-trap laughed.

"This is no joke Rat-trap, we're talking about Scaleblade. Do you remember the story?" Optimas said to Rat-trap.

"Scaleblade? You mean the Scaleblade? The one who can destroy even the Maximal Elders? Get out! It was just an urban legend." Rat-trap disagreed with Optimas' conclusion.

"You want proof? Here's the proof. Computer, stop play and zoom." Optimas commanded The Computer stopped and zoomed to Scaleblade's head close enough to see the diamond shaped black gem.

"No, no, no. It's probably the wrong file." Rat-trap said again he still didn't believe Optimas.

"This is the right one." Rhinox said.

"We're all going to die." Rat-trap said.

Predacon base

"Terrorsaur, fetch Scaleblade." Megatron told Terrorsaur.

Minutes Later

Scaleblade walked in, in her robot mode, singing The Pokemon Theme song. "It's about time." Megatron said impatiently.

"What do you want?" Scaleblade asked.

"I want you to do a scouting mission for me." Megatron said.

"Sure Megs, where should I scout?" Scaleblade asked.

"Sector Tallories, I've been told there is energon there." Megatron said.

"On my way, Megs." Scaleblade transformed to beast mode and flew in direction or Sector Tallories.

Sector Tallories

"So this is Sector Tallories, eh? Not bad, a little gloomy, but not bad." Scaleblade said as she soared over in search for a landing spot. "There's one!" Scaleblade found and open prairie. Scaleblade landed back feet first, after tucking her wings to her side so they wouldn't get damaged by the long, sharp, tree branches. "No energon yet." Scaleblade said disappointed. That's it! I gotta do something! Scaleblade! Terrorize!" Scaleblade yelled. "Computer play track: Spice Up Your Life." Scaleblade commanded. Almost instantly the beginning of Spice Up Your Life began and Scaleblade started to do some flips and karate'.

Predacon Base

"Megatron to Scaleblade, come in. Megatron to Scaleblade, do you copy?" Megatron said into his comlink. (Fuzz) "Blasted Energon interference!" Megatron yelled. "Waspinator, retrieve Scaleblade in Sector Tallories." Megatron ordered.

"Zector Talloriez?! That'z maximal territory!" Waspinator yelled.

"I don't care." Megatron said.

"If zhe waz your zizter, You would care!" Waspinator yelled as he left to Sector Tallories.

"Well, the rest of you will not go bored, we shall attack the maximal base." Megatron said.

Sector Tallories

"Zcaleblade!" Waspinator yelled as he landed. "Come on we gotta go, Megatron iz planning to attack the maximal baze." Waspinator said to his sister.

"Oh we are? Well, I have an idea!" Scaleblade said happily.

"What iz it?" Waspinator asked. Scaleblade whispered her idea to Waspinator.

Inside the Maximal base

"How can you be so sure that, that is Scaleblade, it might be a wannabe or something." Cheetor said.

"Well, maybe you're right nothing to worry about." Optimas said. Suddenly the base's alarms go red.

"The preds are attacking!" Rat-trap yelled.

"Maximals follow me in a defensive position!" Optimas yelled.

Outside the Maximal Base

"Where are they?" Megatron asked as he was battling.

"Maybe they got sidetracked, Royalty" Inferno said. Suddenly everything goes Black, and the Team Rocket Background Music started playing:

"Prepare for trouble!" A voice was heard.

"Make it double!" Another voice was heard right after.

"To protect the world from devastation!" The voice yelled again.

"To unite all peoples within our nation!" The second voice yelled directly after.

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" the voice yelled once again.

"To extend our reach to the stars above!" Once again the second voice yelled after.

"Maniac!" An unknown light shown on a Black, armored creature.

"Thuntor!" Another unknown light shines on a green and Yellow creature with Black stripes.

"Team Predacon blasts off at the speeds greater then light!" The black one's optics grew more bright.

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" The Green one's optics did the same thing.

All the Predacons looked at them in confusion, they did not know who or what they were. (Note: They look exactly like Mewtwo in its armor) One of them was black and red and was shorter then the other who was green and yellow with black stripes. "Team Predacon! Attack!" The green one yelled.

"Wooo whooooooooooo!" The black creature yelled as it jumped down from the Axalon.

"Wait for meeeeeeeee!" The green creature yelled right after as it jumped as well. "Ready to kick some maximal processors, sis?" The green once asked as its blades were positioned into a defensive position.

"Anytime." The black one said as it scratched Rat-trap with her razor sharp claws. "Form Blazing Sword!" The black one yelled as it activated a green lightsaber and hit Rhinox knocking his Chain guns "O" doom. Soon enough everyone was fighting but the maximals cheated and put on the MEGA CYBER CANONS OF ULTIMATE GREIVE! Everyone retreated into the woods to recharge so the preds lost any old way. When the predacons turned to the two armored creatures, they were gone

Maximal base

"Hmm, I wonder who those two were." Rhinox said.

"They were very good fighters, not any of the preds I know that's for sure." Cheetor said.

"They wooped us better the entire team of preds, well, except for Scaleblade and Waspy that is." Rat-trap agreed with Cheetor.

"Say that again." Optimas asked.

"I said that all preds but Waspinator and Scaleblade almost took over our base." Rat-trap said over.

"It was them." Optimas realized in his mind but it was just a minor thought so he didn't believe it.

Deep in the forest

Both Waspinator and Scaleblade sat around a peaceful fire. "Listen, the Pikachus are singing." Scaleblade said.

"I don't hear them." Waspinator said.

"Chaaaaaa! Pi. Pika. Pikachu. Pi. Pi. Ka. Pikachu. Pi. Pika. Pikachu. Pi. Pi. Ka. Chaaaaaa!" Scaleblade sang. Both chuckled a bit.

"This was a good idea Scaleblade. And you're right fooling both maximals and Predacons would be fun." Waspinator admitted.

"Doesn't it run in the family?" Scaleblade said.

"I just hope we don't get found out too soon. It would wreck everything." Waspinator was a bit worried.

"Don't worry, they'll never find Team Predacon." Scaleblade said.

"By the way, how did you think up Team Predacon?" Waspinator asked.

"I like a show called Pokemon, the evil guys are Team Rocket." Scaleblade answered.

Predacon base

"I wonder who or what are those, those, things." Tarantulas thought.

"They cleverly hid themselves." Rampage said admirably.

"What I'm more concerned about is why Scaleblade and Waspinator didn't come back yet. Can it be.." Megatron started. All the predacons looked at Megatron surprisingly.

"You don't think?" Tarantulas asked.

"It can't be!" Rampage exclaimed. Megatron simply nodded. "I'll believe it when I see it." Rampage said after.

"If we want to find out, we need to set out some bait. Any suggestions?" Megatron asked.

"We could pretend we're in battle, ambush them and demask these shadow warriors." Tarantulas suggested.

"We'll keep that open as an option. Any others?" Megatron asked again. "We could find their camp and somehow demask them." Rampage also suggested.

"We'll have a vote, whoever wants to set Tarantulas's plan in motion raise your hand. (Quick-strike, Tarantulas, Inferno and Megatron raised their hands or heads) Who ever wants to set Rampage's plan in motion raise you hand. (Rampage raises his hand.) Ok, it's settled. We'll pretend to battle maximals, ambush them and demask them." Megatron announced the all the predacons.

"Should we call the maximals?" Inferno asked.

"Yes, they'll have a part in this." Megatron gave the signal to go ahead.

Maximal base

"Incoming message from predacon base." Sentinel alerted.

"I'll accept a collect call." Rat-trap said humorly.

"Who is it, Rat-trap?" Optimas asked.

"The preds." Rat-trap answered.

"Optimas, I know this may sound stupid, but we are curious about the identities of those shadow warriors that appeared a few hours ago. And we ask you help in trapping them so they can be unmasked." Megatron explained.

"Strange, we were wondering about the same thing. I accept." Optimas ended the transmission.

"Optimas, do you know what you just did? You made an allegiance with the preds! You're helping them! Rat-trap yelled.

"Yes, but if we know the identities of the masked crusaders we'll know their weaknesses as well." Optimas told Rat-trap as he left. "Now, get ready we meet the predacon in Sector Grola." Optimas left to his quarters.

Sector Grola

"So, maximals. We meet again." Megatron said to Optimas.

"Move aside, Megatron. You're in our territory." Optimas told the Tyrannosaurus.

"So we're after the same Energon deposit. Too late maximals. We claim this Energon as our own." Megatron threatened.

"What are you waiting for Optimas? Just shoot him." Rat-trap said.

"One blasts could resort to an explosion. I don't want that to happen. Suddenly everything goes black. (The same thing as last time happens again)

"Prepare for trouble!"

"Make it double!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Maniac!"

"Thuntor!"

"Team Predacon blasts off a speeds greater the light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Grab them now!" Megatron yelled to the Predacons.

"Don't let them escape!" Optimas yelled to the maximals. Rhinox went for the black one. He and the black creature had a long and close battle but soon it was caught. Rampage and Megatron went for the green one. It was much larger so it was hard with it's large, sharp, blades. It took twice as long but Rampage eventually gabbed him from behind.

"Now, to unmask them." Rat-trap said. Tarantulas stepped up to the black one and slowly lifted the helmet. There was a sound of air rushing out then not soon enough Tarantulas gasped and moved aside. It was Scaleblade! Everyone thought about this and talked. Then Scaleblade spoke.

"That's right it was us! You ruined everything! We were playing a harmless joke!" Scaleblade yelled furiously.

"Is it bad to have a sense of humor? We were going to stop in a couple of days!" The green robot yelled.

"You I have never heard before." Megatron said as he lifted the green helmet off the robot. Megatron gasped and moved back. It was Waspinator, without the speech impediment!

"Waspinator? Your voice? What's wrong with it?" Tarantulas asked.

"Nothing, It was always like this. I just stopped to be a different person, Thuntor." He answered.

"We thought you were destroyed. You got us worried." Tarantulas said to Scaleblade.

"Pffft. Nothing there but deer. Oh! Please don't eat me deer." Scaleblade joked. Both Waspinator and Scaleblade laughed.

"No! We're serious! You could have gotten hurt by maximals! You shouldn't go off pulling pranks like this!" Megatron yelled.

"Fine. We promise never to go off pretending to be Team Predacon. Happy?" Scaleblade rolled her eyes.

"Yes." Megatron said.

"Yeah, this is all fine and dandy but, ah there's one more question. Um, where'd ya get the metal?" Rat-trap asked.

"Oh, that's simple. It's a spell called reflect. It should wear off right, now." Scaleblade said as her and Waspinator's armor vanished.

"Well, now that that's all settled, I think we should return to base." Optimas said to the maximals.

Tarantulas's lair

"Tarantulas? Tarantulas!" Scaleblade yelled.

"What?" Tarantulas asked.

"Um. Ahh, well, you see. I kinda want to be like you. So ah. I want to be your apprentice. Can I?" Scaleblade kicked a stone slightly.

We fade to black this is the end of this story. I hope you liked it.
