Icon Relic Hunt Part III: Stealth Ally and enemy

Date: June 7, 2012, 12:44 P.M., Location: Roughly an hour and 7 minutes from the Canadian Major city, Calgary in the Province Alberta inside the Banff National Park.

Bulkhead along with Nova-strike prime Team members: Shadow-Hunter* and Serenity* carrying excavation hand drills to dig up the Icon Relic have been for the last 3 minutes have been searching a 1/4 mile(0.402336 Kms.) search pattern area to locate the precise burial location of the Icon Relic Optimus Prime and Hardwire were able to decode from their copy of the Icon database. Shadow-hunter in a little irritated and calm tone to Bulkhead, Shadow-Hunter "Bulkhead how close are we at finding the precise burial location coordinates, I started to get a little impatient with all this walking and searching If we don't find the Icon Relic protect soon the Decepitcons will find the burial coordinates and retrieve it giving Megatron another advantage over us."

Bulkhead in a calm and Irritated tone, Arcee "I Know Shadow-Hunter you need to have a little more patience it takes time to find these Icon Relics. Remember that these Icon Relics crash landed on this planet millennium ago and were buried; Plus, there are other factors like have over the Millennium has the Planet were the Relic crash landed been through dramatic environmental changes over the Millennium or has the indigenous life forms of the planet dug up the Relic and manger open the Icon Relic container and take the Icon Relic or move it."

As they continued to search for the Icon Relic Bulkhead took a look at his hand-held scanner and saw the distance meter saying that the Icon Relic is buried 15 meters to his right and turned in that direction with Shadow-Hunter and Serenity following close behind. As they approached the precise coordinates of where the Icon Relic is buried and Bulkhead saw that there was a tree roughly a meter away from were the Icon Relic crash landed on the Planet. Finally as he along with Shadow-Hunter and Serenity came just above where the Icon Relic was buried. Bulkhead in a calm tone, Bulkhead "According to the Scanning Detector the Icon Relic in buried 4 meters under Rocks, soil and tree roots.(He turned his attention to both Shadow-Hunter and Serenity.) Shadow-Hunter and Serenity you guys can begin using the excavation hand drills we brought with us to begin digging up the Icon Relic. I'll stand guard and watch for any Decepitcons coming Retrieve the Icon Relic." Both Shadow-hunter and Serenity brought their excavation hand drills and began to excavation for the Icon Relic buried.

1:00 P.M...

As the Shadow-Hunter and Serenity drill through 3.90 meters of rock, soil and roots they decided to continue with hand mining tools to dig the rest of the way to the Icon Relic to not cause to much damage to it. After a few minutes of dig by hand around the Icon Relic's Location they found the Icon Relic Container and gentle pulled out the Icon Relic container and brought it up to the surface. Bulkhead approached right behind them and in a curious tone, Bulkhead "Well open it and let's see what we have here." (Shadow-Hunter twisted the Icon Relic cap off the Icon Relic container and pulled out of the container what looked like some type of portable armor(similar to the Apex armor.) device to use combat; Bulkhead shifted his tone to a curious tone.) Well Shadow-Hunter can I see what is in the Icon container and what type of Icon Relic is in the container. (Shadow-Hunter show the Portable armor device to Bulkhead and Bulkhead had a shocked look on his face and in an awe and calm tone.) I don't Believe it's 1 of the Decepitcon Experimental Cloak-stealth armors. It's the deactivated 2nd Prototype cloaking-stealth armor was designed and constructed by Decepitcon Scientists and Engineers."

Shadow-Hunter in a curious tone, Shadow-Hunter "What's a cloak-stealth armor?"

Bulkhead in a calm tone to both Shadow-Hunter and Serenity, Bulkhead "You see Shadow-Hunter and Serenity during the war for Cybertron in a secret Decepticon Research and Development center moderately deep in Decepticon force lines; Decepitcon scientists and engineers have designed and constructed 3 cloaking-stealth armors prototypes during the war. A Cloaking-stealth armor can in theory nearly blend all the light around an object making it with the cloaking-stealth technology virtually invisible to the naked optic of a Cybertronian. However, there is a Downside to the clocking-stealth tech if the object with the cloaking-stealth step on something that makes noise their location will be given away. As the Decepitcon scientists and engineers were Just going to activate the 3 cloaking-stealth armors an Autobot Wrecker Squadron was able to seek moderately deep into the Decepticon force lines and raid the Decepitcon research and develop center. The Decepitcon bodyguards in the Research and develop center engaged the Wrecker Squadron in a skirmish battle which ended with the Autobot wrecker squadron taking minimal losses.

However, during the skirmish battle 2 of the 3 cloaking-stealth armor prototypes were damaged behind repair. The Autobot wrecker squadron was able to recover and capture the remaining intact 1 cloaking-stealth armor and take it the Icon Hall of Records Vaults for safe keeping. It seems that the Master Autobot Archivist send this Prototype Cloak-stealth armor here in Icon Vault container. Judging by what the 2nd Prototype Cloaking-stealth Portable armor device setting says that the device was designed and constructed for a medium small Cybertronian. It has an Adjuster to adjust to a medium small Cybertronian between 5.5355 to 6.499 meters tall. It could fit you Serenity seen your 5.875 meters tall in your Cybertronian Robotic form.(After he said that Bulkhead put his index and ring fingers to his internal processor communicator and turned on and switched it to an Autobot communications channel frequency to the Autobot base and in an excited and somewhat calm tone.) Ratchet you'll never believe what I found at the Icon Relic coordinates Optimus Prime and Hardwire have decoded."

Ratchet in a calm tone, Ratchet "What might the Icon Relic be that your team found at the Icon Relic coordinates Optimus Prime and hardwire decoded?"

Bulkhead "Ratchet it's a Cloak-stealth portable armor device." As Bulkhead finished his Message to Ratchet Serenity heard in the woods a branch break and she turned her attention to the area to the left of her and look intensely and she saw an Decepitcon con trooper arm that was barely noticeable but she saw him. She did a quick look around the area and could see around them 3 more Decepitcon con troopers that are barely noticeable but she saw them.

Serenity in a frighten and somewhat calm tone, Serenity "Bulkhead and Shadow-Hunter we're around by Decepitcon's and their ready to come out to ambush us and secure the Icon Relic from our hands to Megatron."

Bulkhead "Serenity activate 1 of your blaster arm's and attach the 2nd Prototype Cloaking-stealth Portable armor device to your armor. I want you to activate the 2nd Prototype Cloaking-stealth Portable armor device to quietly eliminate some of the Decepitcons in the ambush for us to break through the Decepitcon ambush." Serenity did as Bulkhead requested and attached the 2nd Prototype Cloaking-stealth Portable armor device to her armor and activated the armor.

1:00 P.M...

Meanwhile around the same time as the 2nd Autobot Icon Relic Retrieve team started their mission to retrieve the 2nd Icon Relic. The 2nd Decepitcon Retrieval team lead by Command Dreadwing have been for the last 30 minutes have been searching around 3 mile(4.82802 Kms.) search pattern area to locate the precise burial location of the Icon Relic Soundwave were able to decode from their Icon database. As they were roughly a few 100 ft. away a Decepitcon Con trooper could see an Autobot Icon Relic Retrieve team with 2 unknown Autobots digging up the Icon Relic buried and turned his attention to commander Dreadwing and in a calm and somewhat shocked tone, Decepitcon Con Trooper "Commander Dreadwing I see the Autobot Retrieve team it looks like they got here before us."

Dreadwing in a commanding tone, Dreadwing "Very quietly set up a Perimeter around the Autobot Retrieve team and an ambush for that Autobot Retrieve team."

1:06 P.M...

With Dreadwing's Retrieval team in position to ambush the Autobot Retrieve team Dreadwing adjusted his optic settings on his optics and zoom to get a close look on 2 unknown Autobot team members. He got a look at the Unknown male Autobot that was 9.39 meters tall in their Cybertronian Robotic Mode. He saw that this Unknown Autobot has a full Body color scheme of Black and Grey basic color pattern on her on upper and lower Torso similar to a bulletproof vest design with a large Black strip running parallel on his back area. He has a face plate area similarly to his liege's(Megatron's) but carried some unknown facial features and hair style he was unfamiliar with. He saw that this Autobot's head, shoulder, upper and lower arm areas have color schemes: Grey around most of head area at his facial plate area and around his full mid to lower neck areas in the front and back of his head as well as a Black color scheme for his upper head area where his head style hair area is. He saw that this Autobot's shoulder, upper and lower arm areas have a mixture of Black and Grey color pattern scheme. He saw that this Autobot's mid and lower half of his body has the same as his upper half: Black and Grey color scheme pattern along his legs; his feet areas color scheme was Grey from the ankle joint area of his feet were the grey paint meets Black color scheme.

He turned his attention to the other unknown Autobot and saw that this Autobot was a female Autobot give her feminine features. He saw that she was 5.875 meters in Height in her robot mode as has a color scheme of Dark blue and Green basic color pattern on her on upper and lower Torso similar to a bulletproof vest design with 5 small dark green strips running parallel on her back areas. He saw that she has a face plate area similarly to the female member of Team Prime(Arcee) and some unknown facial features and hair style he was unfamiliar with. He saw that her head, shoulder, upper and lower arm areas have color schemes: dark green around most of head area at her facial plate area and around her full mid to lower neck areas in the front and back of her head as well as a dark blue color scheme for her upper head area where her head style hair area is. He saw that her shoulder, upper and lower arm areas have a mixture of Dark Green and blue color pattern scheme. He saw that her mid and lower half of her body has the same as her upper half: a dark blue and green color scheme pattern along her legs; He saw that her feet area color scheme was Dark green from the ankle joint area of her feet were the white paint meets dark blue color scheme.

Dreadwing turned his attention to on what the Autobot's have dig up and saw as they open the Icon Relic container got a look at what Type of Icon Relic is in the Icon Relic container. He saw the unknown Male Autobot pull out of the Icon Relic container same type of Portable armor device similar to the Apex Armor he lost to Starscream in Antarctica. He heard a branch snap and turned his attention to where he heard the branch snap he saw that 1 of his con troops step on a branch. In respond of 1 of his troops mistakes he saw the feminine Autobot Pull of the Portable armor device. He saw as the Portable armor device transformed into a cover armor and then saw the feminine Autobot press something on the Portable armor and disappeared before them. He then heard in a Loud commanding Voice from the Autobot know as Bulkhead, Bulkhead "I know you Decepitcon scum are hiding are there you can come out my team member Serenity saw you and toll me that you Decepitcon scum are out."

Dreadwing revealed himself to the Autobot Icon Relic retrieval and in a commanding and somewhat smug tone, Dreadwing "Surrender Autobots your outnumbered and outmatched. Bulkhead ordered the 1 know as Serenity to come out and reveal herself or I will order my troops to open fire." Just as he finished his statement he heard from behind him the sound of a charged Energon Blaster roughly a foot away from his head. He turned his open a little to see the Autobot Serenity deactivate the Portable armor and of having an Energon blaster point at his head.

1 of his con troopers said in shocked tone, Con trooper "Commander Dreadwing(The con trooper activated his Energon blaster and pointed it at Serenity.)." Serenity out of Instinct from her intense training with Arcee activate her other arm energon blaster and fired at the con trooper who shouted at Dreadwing eliminated him and out of instinct and intuition jumped out of way for the coming Energon Blasts from the Con troopers, switched 1 of her Blaster arms into 1 of her sword arms and reactivated the 2nd Prototype Cloaking-stealth Portable armor device.

1:15 P.M.

The Skirmish fight between the Autobot Retrieval and Decepitcon Retrieval teams lasted for 5 minutes and ending with the Dreadwing along with his Decepitcon Elite Troopers and Mining detail defeated and failed to Retrieval the Icon Relic from the Autobot's. The Autobot Retrieve team were able to eliminate 8 of the Elite Decepitcon Troopers before they were able to retreat back to their base by ground-bridge however Serenity was severely injured by Dreadwing forcing Bulkhead and shadow-Hunter to carry her through the ground-bridge back to base. During the Skirmish fight Dreadwing was shocked to see how the unknown male Autobot transformed for the 1st for an Autobot into an Ariel combat vehicle mode and saw he engage the Ariel con troopers and skillful dodge the con flyers and shot down his force con flyers. After getting over his shock he was able to vaguely see through the 2nd Prototype Cloaking-stealth Portable armor and throw a bomb charge in the area where he vaguely saw serenity. Dreadwing's bomb charge exploded and the blast wave hit serenity causing her falling down and with the 2nd Prototype Cloaking-stealth Portable armor stealth generator be disable leave Serenity visible to do the Decepticons and causing some moderate injuries to Serenity. Serenity suffered some moderate injuries from Dreadwing's bomb charge: she suffered moderate deep injuries all long both her legs from the Decepitcon Bomb charge that after exploded spread Sharple that were able to penetrate she protective armor down to her bare legs cause moderate amount of damage drawing some energon from her wounds. Serenity was shocked by how Dreadwing was able to somehow see her even with the 2nd Prototype cloaking-stealth Portable armor device activated. Just as she saw Dreadwing coming in for the killing blow she felt the ground shake and saw Bulkhead running toward Dreadwing and crashed into him.

During their Fight Shadow-hunter was thanks to his intense combat training with Optimus Prime was able to hold his own in his fight with a Decepitcon trooper he engaged with and was able to eliminate them from fight but the Decepitcon Trooper was able to get in a good hit at him causing him to received am injury from his opponent. He received a moderate cut from his opponent but thankfully his protective armor was able mostly block his opponent's sword arm strike. After he was able to eliminate his opponent Shadow-Hunter transformed into his Ariel Jet Mode to try to eliminate the Decepticon Ariel con flyers that was provided covering fight for the Decepitcon ground forces. In roughly 3 minutes shadow-Hunter was able to eliminate 5 of the 6 con flyers before the final con flyer was able to lock into him and shot him down. As Shadow-Hunter was falling from the sky Shadow-Hunter transformed back into his Cybertronian robot mode and crashed landing into the ground. Shadow-Hunter felt a moderate amount of pain(Do to his training with Optimus to ignore most forms of pain in live combat.) from his injury from the Con flyer that shot him down. He impended his injury and saw that he received moderate Energon Blast Injury on his right shoulder area from his opponent get a shot off but thankfully his protective armor was able to mostly absorb the energon blast but the blast was able to penetrate all the way through his armor down to his bare arm underneath drawing a moderate amount energon from his wound. He struggled from the Pain from his back from crashing into the ground thankful his protective armor was able to absorb impact of the crash landing and maybe his way back into the battle with the Decepticons.

During their Fight Bulkhead thanks his Millennium of intense training and combat experience was able with Minimal afford hold his own in fighting with the with 2 Decepitcon troopers and was able to eliminate them from fight but the 1 of the Decepitcon Troopers was able to get in a good hit at him causing him to receive an injury from his opponent. He received a point blank moderate Energon Blast Injury on his left shoulder area from his Opponent get a luck shot off but thankfully his protective armor was able to mostly absorb the energon blast but the blast was able to penetrate all the way through his armor down to his bare arm underneath drawing a moderate amount energon and causing him and Minimal amount of Pain from his wound and 2 cuts at a light depth into his arms armor. After he eliminated his opponents he saw Dreadwing engaged with Senerity and was his about to do the kill blow ran toward Dreadwing. Bulkhead and Dreadwing collided with each other and begin with a fight that end with a stalemate but that changed when Shadow-Hunter surprise Dreadwing and give him a right uppercut toward Dreadwing causing Dreadwing to fight 3 meters away and slammed into the ground.

Take this opportunity Bulkhead put his index and ring fingers to his internal processor communicator and turned on and switched it to an Autobot communications channel frequency to the Autobot base and in anxious tone, Bulkhead "Ratchet we required a Ground-bridge!(Ratchet responded by activating the Ground-bridge controls open a ground-bridge to where the 2nd Autobot Icon Relic Retrieval team was. Bulkhead saw a ground-bridge portal open and he turned his attention to Shadow-Hunter and in commanding tone of Voice) Shadow-Hunter quickly help he carry Serenity thought the ground-bridge portal.(Both Bulkhead and Shadow-Hunter carried Serenity along with the 2nd Prototype Cloaking-stealth Portable armor device. As the came thought the Ground-bridge portal Ratchet Quickly deactivated the Ground-bridge controls to not let Decepitcon's through. Ratchet turned his attention to where the 2nd Autobot Retrieve team was and saw that serenity as severely injured and then heard Bulkhead in an anxious tone.) Ratchet we were to security the Icon Relic and have it with us but we're all wounded and need medical attention more so Serenity." Ratchet approached bulkhead's team and began his work on repairing and healing Serenity.

1:20 P.M.

it took Ratchet a few minutes to heal up all of the 2nd Autobot Icon Relic Retrieval team's injuries. During that Ratchet open a Ground Bridge portal for the 1st Autobot Icon Relic Retrieval team to come through into the base. As the1st Autobot Icon Relic Retrieval team to come through Ultra-Aid* saw the 2nd Autobot Icon Relic Retrieval team laying and resting waiting to be healed from their Injuries during their Icon Relic Retrieval Mission. Arcee in a calm and a little anxious tone, Arcee "Bulkhead you Alright."

Bulkhead answered in a little pain and calm tone, Bulkhead "I'll live."

Arcee "So what did your Icon Relic Retrieval team retrieve from your mission?"

Shadow-hunter was the 1 to answer for Bulkhead and in a pain, calm and little smug tone, Shadow-Hunter "Arcee We managed to retrieve the 2nd Prototype Cloaking-stealth Portable armor device that the Autobot Master archivist Launch from the Icon Hall of Records to this Planet."

Acree had an awe look her face then in Smug tone of Voice to 2nd Autobot Icon Relic Retrieval team, Arcee "Well it looks like we now have the ability to have a stealth ally with us and a stealth Enemy for the Decepitcons and MECH.*"
