MASTERS OF METALLIKATO, PART II
(Before the war...)
YOKETRON: Some of you may ask, "What is so special about being a Cyber-Ninja?" Then you needn't look any further than the Hall of Heroes!
Dai Atlas! A high-ranking member of the Elite Guard and one of Nova Prime's advisors.
Wing Saber! Another member of the Elite Guard and a formidable warrior.
Whirl! ...I'm not really sure why he's here.
But fame has nothing to do with it. One of the greatest rewards of becoming a Cyber-Ninja... is the inner peace you discover within yourself.
(Present)
LOCKDOWN: MAYDAY!
(KROOOM! Windblade crashes onto the Death's Head)
WINDBLADE: Whoa!
LOCKDOWN: Huh. Two Autobots for the price of one. Think Turmoil will want this one?
AXER: Hmmm... Her head might look good on his wall!
WINDBLADE: (narration) Oh, those guys are in for a nasty surprise...
WINDBLADE: Um, I think you should take it up with them first.
BANZAI-TRON: Well, look what we have here... Bounty hunters. I swear, the crude methods Turmoil goes through....
LOCKDOWN: Banzai-Tron. Hn. Never saw the Secret Service as one to get their hands dirty.
BANZAI-TRON: Normally, yes. But in certain cases... we tend to have a bit of fun ourselves.
WINDBLADE: Oh, yeah? (She draws her sword and slices off Banzai-Tron's arm) How you like that for fun?!
BANZAI-TRON: Gah! I see you want to be difficult about this. Treadshot, Nightbird, get her!
WINDBLADE: Come at me, bros.
(Before the war...)
WINDBLADE: Road Rocket, behind you!
ROAD ROCKET: Not for long! (He throws a ninja star at Springer, which he catches)
NIGHTBIRD: YAAAAH! (She lunges at Springer only to be WHAM! aside) Oof!
WINDBLADE: You're going down!
(CLANG! They clash swords. WHAP! Windblade loses her sword and it lands in Springer's hand)
YOKETRON: Better than last time, I will say that. Thank you for coming, Springer.
SPRINGER: How 'bout you get Whirl next time?
YOKETRON: I want my students alive, Springer... Do not worry, Windblade. In time, you will improve.
WINDBLADE: Have you ever failed a student, Sensei?
YOKETRON: I...
(Years ago)
FAILED STUDENT (BLUDGEON): How does it feel, old man? To be the one at the end of a blade?
YOKETRON: (to Windblade) I can't say I have...
(Present)
(Treadshot fires at Windblade)
LOCKDOWN: Hey! This is a light freighter, not a battle arena!
DRIFT: Too bad, I was hoping this would be one.
LOCKDOWN: How did--?
DRIFT: Processor-over-matter. You should do more research about Cyber-Ninjas.
WINDBLADE: No fair! How did you learn that?
DRIFT: It's Cyber-Ninja standard. Didn't you finish your training?
WINDBLADE: Well...
(Before the war....)
YOKETRON: Nothing has ever made me as proud as successfully teaching a class of students. Sideways, Nightbird, Road Rocket, I am pleased to name you true Cyber-Ninjas.
SIDEWAYS, NIGHTBIRD, & ROAD ROCKET: Thank you, Sensei.
ROAD ROCKET: Woot!
YOKETRON: *Sigh* Believe me when I say this, Windblade, for it truly saddens me when something like this happens. I am sorry, but you are simply unteachable.
WINDBLADE: Sensei, wait! I can do better!
YOKETRON: Several months have passed since you first started... and yet I have seen no improvement. I'm sorry, Windblade... but there is no future for you as a Cyber-Ninja...
(As Windblade leaves the dojo...)
BUGLY: Psst! Hey!
WINDBLADE: Who are you?
BUGLY: N-name's Bugly... Y-you get kicked out, too?
WINDBLADE: Yeah...
BUGLY: Well, you're in luck... Th-there's this guy... he's a Cyber-Ninja master... he can teach us! C-come with me...
WINDBLADE: Why should I?
BUGLY: Don't you want to be a Cyber-Ninja?
WINDBLADE: Well, yeah...
BUGLY: Then it would be best if you did...
(Present)
DRIFT: I think we should get off of this ship.
WINDBLADE: Yeah, good idea. Good thing I came prepared. (She tosses a grenade at the 'Cons)
TREADSHOT: Uh-oh... (He and Nightbird get blasted out of the ship)
DRIFT: See ya, losers!
BANZAI-TRON: No!
(Drift and Windblade jump out; Windblade flies off in jet mode and Drift... somehow flies after her?)
DRIFT: Wait up!
(Beat)
LOCKDOWN: Here.
BANZAI-TRON: What's that?
LOCKDOWN: The bill. For my ship's repairs.
BANZAI-TRON: Hn. Fair enough. However, let me propose something... I will pay you this money, and more, if, and only if... you bring me the heads of those Autobots.
LOCKDOWN: Hm. That would be a lot more than what Turmoil's paying us. It's a deal.
BANZAI-TRON: If you would like, I could have someone of my services assist you.
LOCKDOWN: Who do you have in mind?
BANZAI-TRON: He calls himself Bugly.
