When I next see that girl, I swear I'm going to duct-tape her to a chair and assign a permanent guard on her to make sure she bloody well STAYS PUT when I tell her to!
Ahem. Perhaps blog readers would like some clarification as to what's going on...
We had arrived in Canada and were at the moment observing the path of Babylon Palace. We are still not certain of its exact destination, as it seems to be altering course now that we are in the vicinity. It's almost as if it knows we are watching it...
But I digress. The precise reason for my outburst... let us simply say I am typing this discourse from the cockpit of a jet as I pursue four women who seem to have completely lost their minds. I hope and pray that they survive long enough for us to catch up to them and give them the lecture of their lives...
I was conferring with other leaders of the Resistance when a shout caught my attention. I turned around just in time to see Rose and Maleficent fly away, pursuing a cluster of dark forms that swiftly vanished into the night. Kenya stared after them, mouth agape.
"Kenya, what..." I began.
"They're going after them!" she barked, whirling to face me. "Sith on a stick, they're going after Nemesis and Galvatron!"
"What??" Megatron and Prime exclaimed together.
"That is insane," I told her. "Rose is exactly what they want! She bears the keys to awakening Primus. If they capture her..."
Kenya whirled to Delta. "Transform!" she barks.
The young mech complied, folding herself into starfighter mode. Kenya was in the waiting cockpit before I could so much as blink.
"Kenya, get down from there!" I ordered.
"Not when a friend's in danger," she told me. "Rose and her friends saved my butt from the Emperor. I'm not going to just stand and watch Nemesis take her when I can return the favor."
Delta roared into the night sky, tearing off after Rose and Maleficent.
I'm sure Prime, Megatron, and I made quite the trio, gaping at the night sky as the women we loved pursued a squadron of half-mad mechs into the night.
Megatron broke the silence first. "Is it normal to want to hug and strangle someone at the same time?"
"Yes," Prime and I told him simultaneously.
"Thundercracker!" I barked. "I need a lift!"
"Covered!" the Seeker replied, transforming to jet mode.
Prime took on his truck form, and Megatron climbed in. The semi roared in the direction the girls had taken, and I was certain a few people were in for severe tongue-lashings when they caught up with the girls. Not that they didn't deserve it...
"Drache, alert me if Babylon Palace changes course or otherwise acts strangely," I told the general.
"Yes sir," she replies. "Oh, and sir? Careful. We don't know if this is part of their plot or not."
"Right."
And I hopped into Thundercracker's cockpit and took off after them.
When I get my hands on that girl, I swear...
