Free At Last! Ratchet had finished the last of Arsenal's repairs and released him from med bay. His armor still needed to be painted as new armor had been grafted on to replace the ruined parts. But Ratchet had given him a bonus upgrade. Shock gauntlets. His original hands had been replaced with armored fists that could generate a large pulse of energy that could possibly shortout his enemy plus doing a good bit of damage at the same time. He had downloaded some martial arts diagrams from the web and was practicing some of the moves. After he got bored of that he praticed shooting targets at the range. The other soldiers were watching him sometimes launching things into the air for him to shoot at. He enjoyed their presence as He wanted them to feel he was a friend afterall.

Having been taking a break at the NEST base since KARR's attempt to capture Chris, KITT had begun to wonder where Arsenal was. He hadn't seen him much since then. KITT mentally sighed as he rolled down one of the off roads at the base to the shooting range, having honed in on Arsenal's signal. KARR could do quite some damage when he put his mind to it, all right. At least KITT wasn't the only one he had to pick on now, but that was a bad thought to have-he didn't want to see his new allies get hurt and frazzled because of his brother.
KITT approached in his mustang form, watching Arsenal have some target practice. His bright red scanner paced in and out at a constant, hypnotizing pace as usual; the typical faint hum was masked by his idling engine.
"Hello Arsenal. Welcome back." KITT greeted. His voice calm and slightly monotonous as usual. His voice was always far more sweeter and merciful than KARRs, no matter how monotonous or sarcastic he was. His voice and color of the scanner were one of the things that made him different from KARR.

Arsenal paused as he heard someone call to him. he turned and smiled as it was Kitt. Arsenal was happy to know that Karr's equal was on their side. He placed his rifle back in its holster on his back and waved at the humans as he walked over to Kitt.
"Hey there Kitt, nice to see you too. I thought I was going to go mad with boredom in Ratch's med bay all by my lonesome." He said cheerfully. Kitt was always a very polite being and so had gained Arsenal's respect.

Jolt had been driving through the base when he had heard a few rounds being shot off near the range. Who would be out doing target practice on a day like today? Since the battle against Starscream, Jolt was just trying to relax, and so far, it was working. But he still felt like he needed to meet some more Autobots. As he got closer to the range, he saw KITT, which was a battle buddy, and another Autobot...One which he didn't know.
He then transformed into his bot form and approached the two. "Howdy boys...How's the shootin today?"

KITT's passenger door suddenly opened vertically, and a young woman with dark hair tyed up in a tight bun dressed in well pressed BDU's (full military camo uniform and all, minus the helmet) stepped out of KITT with a bounce in her step. The door automatically closed behind her. Cira had a huge case in one hand and a backpack with her pistols and revolvers and plenty of ammunition in the other.
"Hey fellow bots! Glad to see you back on your feet, Arsenal." Cira said looking up at the bot with a happy smile. She then turned to Jolt, whom she'd seen at the Invasion down town. "Me and KITT just got here, but I'm ready for some good target practice." she said, leaning down the case to her shotgun against herself casually. "Hey you were that one that helped us fight Starscream weren't you? I thought you looked familiar."

KITT transformed as soon as his door was shut. He rolled his neck and shoulders a bit, flexing/cracking his hands behind his back like a human would. Indeed, it was very human-like, mainly because he'd watched and protected humans all his life. Now that he had a human like form and a holo form, he'd immediately picked up some of their ways.
"Sorry to hear that Arsenal, though seems looks like it was worth the wait, as far as my scanners can tell." KITT said to Arsenal sincerely. He then grunted briefly with a nod, the bright red scanners covering his optics tilted over to Jolt. Yes he recognized him too, only when he had there had been no time for introductions. "I do not think I got your name the battle field. What is your name?"

Arsenal flexed his new gauntlets electricity arcing across them. Oh, yes it was indeed worth it.
"Yeah these upgrades will definitely be a shock to the baddies." He said with a smile. He looked at Cira and the small weapons cache she carried. "Damn girl, think you have enough weapons there?" he asked before slapping himself in the head. "But then who am I to criticize? I carry enough to destroy a space cruiser...." he chuckled. He turned and faced Jolt.
"hey there, my new friend, You must be Jolt Ratchet has told me about you. Tis a pleasure." he offered him a handshake. He had picked it up from the humans. He found it to be a good way to break the ice.

Jolt watched the two converse for a moment before a woman stepped from the car. He nodded to her, then KITT "Yes ma'am...I did the best I could with Starscream, although, I didn't walk away unscathed, as you can tell."[/color] He looked himself over, showing a few bullet wounds and paint scratches along his armor. He thought he did pretty well against Starscream, considering Starscream is second in command of the cons.
He then turned his attention to KITT again "The name is Jolt... And I've heard of you KITT, just never met you. And you are?" He asked, looking at the other Autobot, then the woman.

Cira snickered at Arsenals remark."Yeah, I intend to shoot before we're done here." She began to think she might have inadvertently grouped with some of the most trigger happy male bots, (next to Ironhide). How surprising. Not. She glanced up at Jolt again and replied: "2nd Lieutenant Cira Knight. No need to use my rank though OBVIOUSLY. Yer a bot." she said, adjusting the camo cover on her head.
((I almost forgot she had to wear a cover outdoors o.o))

"Designation: Arsenal, Explosives Expert." he told Jolt. he chuckled at Cira's remark. The little human had an attitude that was an endearing as it was scary. although he wouldnt tell her that.
"I was intending to blow something to kindom-come as well. Nothing gets rid of frustration like reducing something to atom particles..." he looked at Jolt. "Those are some nice battle scars you got there. Ratchet said you fought against "Screamer. I'll fight by yourside anyday myfriend."

KITT glanced at Jolt. "Yeah I was there when they fought. He seemed to hold up well. Would have liked to fight him myself but my normal mode was semi-filled with humans..." KITT said, at first mainly to Arsenal. KITT was technically not a fighter, all though now that he had a form that allowed it more, he liked to have the chances. A couple years before he was stuck with his only his Mustang and pick up truck form and that had limited his close range/melee battling skills.
KITT shrugged. "But I'm sure there will be other chances. Do me a favor and let me have some fun next time?" KITT added with a brief smirk.
((To see KITT's words, just highlight the blank areas if youre using one of the darker layouts. I'm using the old one in which I can see Black and bold text.))

While the Autobots were chatting, Cira took a few brisk steps over to the firing range, getting out her shot gun. She'd mess with her pistols and revolvers later, which she was more comfortable with. Taking out a pair of earplugs and a box of ammo from her backpack, she set up down on one side of the range that a set of swinging targets that took the form of various shapes with metal plates dangling from it. Cira always found them to be more of a challenge then the regular circular targets or the animal or human ones. She'd move onto something different later.
She stilled herself after focusing on the target some through a laser scope she'd added onto the shot gun. When she did use the shotgun, it was a super nice addition if she got stuck in action. Cira took a shot. With a loud bang, the bullet clipped one of the lower swing targets, making it sway a bit. Cira stilled herself again for another couple seconds and aimed a little higher, this time hitting almost right in the center.
"You guys better get back to shooting, else I'm gonna take up all the remaining targets!"
