Hunting grounds

Dive Bomb meet with his trusted officers. There was an idea forming in his computer brain that called for slave labor. Black Vipe and Dream Weaver with her Hunter group are standing near his throne awaiting orders. After thinking about your idea Dream Weaver I have decided to act upon it. I want all of you to capture any humans you find bring them here so we can attempt to make them our slaves and for cannon fodder. The Autobots wouldn't dare attack us with since we are holding their human allies. After they are brought here put them through the scrambler to take away any thought process and make them obey our every command without question. Those that do make it through shall be eliminated. If you don't have any questions then set off in your task. Dive Bomb waited to see if any of them had any questions or other orders.

Dream was glad her suggestion was heard and acted upon immediately. This would bring the Decepticons to higher status, and significantly aid them against the dreadful Autobots. Dream didn't care if she had to work with the humans, not as long as the Autobots were brought to a bitter end. And at least they got to control the scrawny little things...like pets. Dreams Hunter squad like this idea as much as she, and were discussing with each other about it until Dream would give out her orders.

Dream had no questions, and only wanted to enact on her ideas as soon as she could. So she stood silent until Dive Bomb had dismissed her, and respectively bowed when she did so. She moved quick towards the Hunters as they looked up eagerly awaiting for what she had to say. Dream liked how loyal they were to her, even though she programmed it herself. She stopped and stood before them, waiting a moment to get the suspense some what high. Then she spoke with sharp words My idea is underway girls, we shall start looking and gathering humans immediately.

With that they all looked relieved and ready for some action. Dream took no hesitation when she barked her first orders. Now, I want you to find a human army base for which we can begin our mission, understood?

They were some what surprised how Dream suddenly furious, even though they knew she was only acting out her facade. They each looked up at her and all replied Yes Lady Dream Weaver, we will get on it right away. With that they ran off in search for a good spot to begin their mission that they so eagerly awaited.

Dive Bomb smiled as the Hunters left his throne. Excellent he said softly and with an evil grin attached to it. He then turned to Black Viper I want you to go with them and provide air support. Take any warrior jets you need remember don't kill the humans unless they leave you no choice. I'm also sending Long Horn with you to bring the humans back.

As his name was spoken Long Horn entered Dive Bombs throne room. I have arrived as you requested my lord. I await your commands my master Long Horn said. His voice as deep as the deepest ocean on this planet. His mini-con standing next to him with his arms folded across his chest plate. I'm ready to serve you as well Lord Dive Bomb Streak said with his voice much higher and more sinister.

Dive Bomb smiled at Long Horn Proceed with the capture of the humans. You are under the command of Dream Weaver and Black Viper. I don't want a repeat of Citrus IV, I want the humans here alive we shall break them here and not before. Is that in any way unclear? Before either of them could respond Dive Bomb cut them off in mid thought I didn't think so. Failure is not an option for if you do your spark shall be terminated, now go. Dive Bomb said. Long Horn and Streak bowed before Dive Bomb and exited his throne.

The Hunters came back to report to Dram with what they have found. Whisper answered for the pack, We have located an army base in the United States, in southern Texas. It would be a good place to find capable humans to capture. They each awaited their masters response.

Very good girls, then to Texas we shall go. Let me go inform master Dive Bomb where we will start our mission. We may need to wait for Black Viper to arrive for he is our air support. What do you think girls how should we invade the base without causing many casualties? Dream was proud of them, as she grown used to be. They were proving to be a vital asset to the Decepticon cause.

Well we need a shock and awe tactic. So maybe Black Viper can go in and bomb the place, lightly, and we go in after. Whisper replied.

That sounds like a good idea. And how shall we filter out the inside of the base? Dream wanted to see what they had in mind.

This time Shadow answered, Maybe we could send in Venom and the other Mini-cons. They can flush anyone who hides in the base, out to the open where we can catch them.

Very good job girls I am most proud of you. I'm sure the others will have an exit strategy. I will go discuss our plans with Dive Bomb. Dream then left them to find Dive, who she assumed was in his throne room.

She walked in, in her normal robotic form, and walked over to Dive. Hello m'lord. The Hunters have found found an army base in Texas that they say is a good spot for our mission. They also think it will be a good idea to go against it with a shock and awe surprise with Black Viper flying through and lightly bombing the base. Where we can come in and seep up the rest. And a good way to flush the base out will be to use Mini-cons like Venom...he will want some action. What do you think my lord?

Dive Bomb looked at Dream Weaver with great care. This is a mission for you and the Hunters. Handle it any way you see fit. Just remember I want them alive and mostly unharmed. Also remember Long Horn is your human cargo transport, he is a good fighter so get with him as well. Dive Bomb continued looking over reports of new autobots that landed somewhere on earth's surface. A electrical current ran up his back as a chill running up the spine of a human. Looks like there will be a final battle after all. He thought to himself.

Yes master we will get it done with perfection. Dream bowed before Dive before exiting the throne room. She then turned to Long Horn, You are welcome to follow me team and I make the final preparations for the mission, basically just plan the rest out. Dream left, giving him time to follow as he wished.

Dream made it to the Hunters who were discussing the mission. Ok girls were good to go. We just need to finish the plans. I want a full report of what will happen. Apparently that was what they were discussing and they were quick to answer.

Whisper spoke out as was accustomed, Alright, this is what we came up with. Black Viper can go in first causing confusion with the base over constricted air space, which is routine for the Decepticons. Then he will start a light assault while we come in with Long Horn and begin our captures. She paused for a brief moment. We will let the Mini-cons flood out the internals of the base, trying to cause the least amount of damage as possible. Once we got all of the men into Long Horns transport we bring them back to the base to brainwash them. Then we send them back to command the army base. Any questions? Whisper sounded professional.

Dream waited a few moments for someone to speak up, when no one did she spoke. Looks like were good to go. Mirage, contact Black Viper and tell him whats up. And if every one is ready to go then well wait till morning.

Long Horn nodded his head. As you command lady Dream Weaver Punch ejected from his back. Why do we have to follow a fembot. I'm Punch the strongest, best looking of all the mini-cons. My skill is unmatched even for your pathetic little kittenbots. Maybe I should get them some string to play with and they can sit this out while we handle this. Punch said as he slaps Long Horn thigh. Long Horn said nothing as his min-con made a fool of himself. He didn't really care who led the mission as long as he could stomp some autobots.

Dream Weaver payed little attention to the small Mini-con who was following Long Horn. She didn't care what he thought about her tactics, and she had a lot to prove being a female Decepticon, which were scarce even for this day and age. She would soon show all the Decepticons that her abilities, as well as the Hunters, are a force to be reckoned with and little will stand in their way. So Dream went on.

Mirage contacted Viper as ordered and reported back to Dream Weaver. They would be beginning their assault in a few hours and Dream didn't want anything to go wrong. Dream called Venom, which she had prepared him in her chambers. He was as ready as ever, it would be his first mission and eagerly awaited his chance to show what hes made of. He was the first in the meeting chambers that they planned out the mission as Dream set foot inside once more.

Good morning Dream, how long until we begin? I am very eager to start this thing. He began.

We shall begin shortly after the others are ready. Its still a bit early however, meditate before they arrive to get a battle edge when we get out there.

Yes master. The small robot moved to the corner of the room to do as she had suggested.

Dream also took the free time to meditate, they had a big morning ahead of them...their first hostile human invasion.

<As Black Viper>
Black Viper arrives as instructed by Dive Bomb and since Dream Weaver was basically in charge of this mission as he was her commanding officer this was a test for her team as well as her self. I have arrived as requested by Dive Bomb. What is it you ask of me Dream Weaver? Black Viper heard Long Horn's mini-cons' little speach. Listen up Punch you will do as you are told fool or you will die right where you stand. You will never question an order from anyone. You are a mini-con and are meaningless to everyone except to be used as cannon fodder. Do not forget your place in all this. Then Black Viper kicks Punch in the chest and he is sent flying into the piller behind them causing it to crack under the pressure from that forceful kick.

Dream let the foolish robot lie in self pity for a moment before continuing with her plan. she was glad at least some of the higher ranked Decepticons had respect for her. She turned away from the fallen Mini-con and toward Black Viper.

Okay, I want you to fly over the army base, ignoring their commands to fly elsewhere, and destroy any self defense weapons they had. They can be rebuilt fast, however, I want you to avoid their main weapons including planes, armed cavalry, and things of that nature. Those are what we need to use against the Autobots. Give me the signal when you have completed this and we will roll in and help you collect the filthy humans. I want you to leave right away, we are all ready it seems. Any questions? Dream awaited his answer and reply.

<As Black Viper>
Black Viper nods his head Very well. I will make sure the humans don't take off in their puny plans never reach the ground. Maybe I can make use of them and turn them into my own seeker clan. I'll have to see what Dive Bomb thinks of this idea. Regardless I'm ready now and I'll head off now. Black Viper exits Dive Bombs palace and transforms to his Jet mode and takes off for the army base that was designated for capture.

After about 15 minutes of flight Black Viper sends word to Dream Weaver and Long Horn. I am approaching the human's base. I prepairing to carry out the attack....now. Black Vipe cuts the com off and begins firing his missles taking out the runway makign sure the humans couldn't get a plane off the ground. He then took out their communications tower. Several humans that was caught off guard suddenly began firing at Black Viper but their weapons couldn't touch him as he performed hit and run tactics on them. Defenses and communications are down all units move up.

Dream had already commanded the Hunters to begin to make their way to the base about 5 minutes after Black Viper left. It would take Long Horn longer to reach the base then a jet or even them and Dream would never leave him behind.

After Black Viper reported back to her, Dream faced Long Horn and spoke, Lets go...its out turn. With that they left the base and headed for their target. Dream stayed with Long Horn just in case they would run into any Autobots even though they would have little to no clue what they were up to.

-----------AT THE ARMY BASE----------

The Hunters had already reached the scene as Viper swept through the base destroying key emplacements that might cause them to fail. Whisper was second in command whenever Dream was not around, but would always obey her orders. The Hunters went through the entire base. Explosions could be heard and fires were seen throughout the base. Whisper ordered Mirage and Shadow to encircle the base...to make sure that no human escaped. There must have been thousands of humans running around towards jets and trucks, but the most of them moved inside the base to seek protection from the Decepticons.
Shadow and Mirage scrapped up the men and woman who tried to escape, they simply threw them back into the base.

Dream had finally made it to the fray and could see that the humans were running into the base. Whisper try and get into the base, wherever you can fit and get those little bastards out. Dream now turned to Venom. Venom, its your turn get the humans out of the base any way you can. Use light weaponry if you have to just get them out.

Venom stayed in his alternate form when he replied, Yes ma'am. Venom sped off towards the entrance of the base. He ran through the base using light Gatling guns while chasing mass amounts of humans towards the exits. He tried not to injure anyone, but he knew that would be impossible to have no casualties.

All Dream could hear as she supervised the barren outside of the base was the screams of the humans, and she soon saw them appear...running out of the base...

Long Horn arrived at the base. He ejected Punch from the cab and dissconnected himself from his trailer. He transformed into his robot mode and his trailer's doors opened up. Punch move to sector 2 and gather what you can and bring them back. Punch nodded his head. Still feeling the affects from Black Vipers kick in the chest and was basically put in his place. Punch transformed and sped off to sector 2 to capture the humans.

Long Horn ripped the roof off a building that looked like to be an armory and gathered six humans inside trying to gather weapons. Long Horn grabbed them in one hand and tossed them in the trailer. An energon force field came down that delievers an electric shock to the humans if they try to escape. Long Horn sets off for more people to capture.

Punch was hitting speeds of nearly 100 mph when a human blew out his tire with a rifle. Punch transformed. Hey numbnuts you know how hard my tires are to replace. Punch walked over to the human while he was still shooting at him, the bullets bouncing off his chest. Punch grabbed him and put him in his chest. He saw a jeep that hasn't been destroyed or damaged so he ripped off the tire and replaced the one that was blown out. He then transformed and drove off not speeding as the jeep's tire was making him unbalanced. He returned to Long Horn's trailer and ejected the human into the trailer through the energon field causing the human to scream in pain. It wore off a few minutes later.

<As Black Viper>
Black Viper was still in the air patroling the skies when he noticed an F-22 raptor fast approaching him. Black Viper thought he would have some fun with this human. Black Viper hit his afterburner and headed away from the human base the human's raptor followed gaining on him slightly. This is wardog 1 to unidentiffied aircraft land on run way 36 now or I will be forced to blow you out of the sky. Do you copy? Black Viper chuckled to himself and dove for the ground and the human followed, Viper pulled up hard and spun around. The human was matching his moves exactly. Wardog 1 then began firing his weapons Viper easily dodged them. Viper slowed down at break neck speed that a human couldn't do and Wardog 1 overflew him and suddenly Viper was behind Wardog 1 and firing his own weapons. Wardog 1 being an ace of the sky dodged the attack and made of series of spins, turns, loops of his own. Viper stayed with him even more impressed. Ok time to end this he said to himself. He transformed to his robot mode while keeping his jet engines exposed for faster flight, he caught up to the human's jet and grabbed it bashed in the cock pit roof and snatched the human while he was still in his chair. The human's plane plummeted to the ground below then exploded as it hit the ground. Viper transformed and placed the human in his own cock pit and perfored some of his own fancy flying.

Finally Viper reached Long Horn's trailer transformed and pulled the human from his cock pit window and tossed him in the trailer. I must admitt for a human that was some good flying. Shame you are a human you could've made a great decepticon seeker. Viper then transformed again and continued to patrol the sky above the army base.

The mission was going as planned. It seemed that everyone was racking up humans and dumping them into Long Horns trailer. Dream remembered that she had Mirage and Shadow patrolling the perimeter. Dream communicated an order to the through a radio signal, Mirage, Shadow...get in here and help us rack these things up.... Black Viper...keep an eye out for anyone attempting to escape, but at the same time continue your good work. It wont matter if a few manage to escape us which sounds hard to believe if they do.

Dream watched as the Mini-cons chased the humans out of the base and straight for the Energon field. Dram simply stood in the middle of the carnage and supervised what was going on. Soon enough they would roll out and have captured the last of the humans and head back to their HQ where they will control the humans brains and command them.

Roger that Dream. I have a watchful eye on the situation.... Viper said.

Viper continued to fly around looking for more humans to be part of the decepticons. As he was going around the sky he found some humans about 50 miles from the base.

Dream.... More humans on the run about 50 miles from your location.. I am going to block their path., he said.

Viper goes down still at sub sonic speed using his gattliln guns to tear up the road way so vehicles con not travel over it. Then he transformed in to his robot form. With his Scyth energized, he cut a trench in the roadway.

Halt in the name of the Decepticons. , he said.

The humans got out of their vehicles except for the tanks and fired all their weapons. Take him out. Squads 2-4 fire your heat seeking rockets. Tank squads fire at will. An army captain yells. All the units fire and some of the rounds score a direct hit on Viper. Squads 1 and 5 fire at the legs, try to knock him off balance. All other units continue firing at his upper body.

Dream heard what Black Viper had told her. She had to act fast, she quickly ordered the Hunters into action, Whisper, I will go help Black Viper out. You stay here and make sure everything is going as planned. and with that she transformed and took off at blazing speeds.

Whisper had no time to respond and fell into her newly commanded duty. She made sure that no more pesky humans escaped, and at the same time wondered how they managed to in the first place.

Dream raced for the signal Black Viper had given off. She reached the destination in no time, watching as the humans were trapped and made a final attempt to destroy Black Viper. Though, Dream and Viper both knew they couldn't do much to hurt them. She ran up right behind them and spoke out, Foolish humans, it would be best if you get back to your base and let us capture you..or we will force you to.

Dream was fired upon, which made her angry. She returned fire, a small armed gatling gun came up from her back and fired upon the humans, making sure to only hit the vehicles they had taken cover behind.

Viper took some vicious hits from saber rounds. He had took four hits to his legs. He fired up his engines and went airborne, then he transformed into his jet bomber form. So that is how you pitiful humans are going to play it...

Viper opened his bomb bay doors.. Then prepare to meet your masters, if you have one., he said.

Move out of bombing range Weaver!, he said to her.

He made his way to his targets.

Dream saw Viper and could do nothing to stop him. There was no stopping one such as he, though the humans were not a necessary death. They would have had their uses, but they would soon be made an example of the power of the Decepticons and the humans would fear us all the more.

Try not to make a mess Viper. Dream called out as she ran far away from the blast radius.

Viper dropped two of his high explosive ordnance. Leaving a crater large enough to put two small country towns in. Weaver, returning to base for some major repairs will return asap., Viper says as he drops her his death scythe.

Dream transformed into her mech form and caught the death scythe. Alright we will handle things here, they must be almost finished collecting the last humans. I will hold onto this until you return. Dream told Viper as he soared off back to base.

Dream made her way back to the army base where Long Horn seemed to have most of the humans locked away. Venom and the Hunters were collecting the last few and searched through the entire base.

Make sure their search is thorough. Dream commanded Whisper.

Yes ma'am. She replied without hesitation, she went into the base to help.
