Driving down the dirt road passing several plateaus along the way a black Saleen Twin Turbo was enjoying a midnight cruise out close to the Grand Canyon. 4 and a half years ahd gone by since her arrival to Earth and Nightridge was looking to taking a few days off from battling the Autobots for many days at a time. Luckily where she was posted now allowe dher some free time and tonight was perfect for a drive. At last Nightridge came to a compelte stop, not but a few miles for the deep canyon that went father then the optic could see. Turning off her engine and allowing her holo-form to come out the femme looked up at the stars.
The night was rather cool in the desert, not like in the mornings or afternoons where it could get in the 90s to the 100s. " At least it's quiet out here." She sighed idily lying back agaisnt the hood of ehr alternate form and closing her eyes. So far everytng had been easy-going with no bothersome autobots trying to bast her to scrap.
Smiling to herself at the ig break Nightridge dosed off without really thinking.

Ravage was out on a midnight run. He enjoyed running out in the deserts, especially Utah and the Grand Canyon. Unlike home, he found the places to be scenic and a bit mysterious. If anything, the calm, clear night welcomed him. As he ran, dusk kicked up at his heels. Little was on his agenda at this time, so he enjoyed the sights as he ran, watching the stars in the horizon ahead as he ran effortlessly.
He liked to dart between and along the plateaus as he neared the canyon, seeking out random hiding places he thought looked cool and completely obscure. No humans were out at this time, and he was glad of it. Some couple miles up ahead, Ravage began to sense a Decepticon up ahead. He dimmed his signal as best as he could, proceeding to run along.
The cat approached from behind a smaller knoll, one that was not quite a plateau. Some half dead shrubs were near by, so he ducked behind them and watched the Saleen Twin Turbo closely. Deciding he didn't care if his presence was detected or not, Ravage relaxed and let his signal reveal his presence and location as he let his tail twitch, scraping at some rocks and hard dirt on the ground from behind his hiding spot.

"SO much for a peaceful night out. Didn't think you would be the desert loving bot, Ravage." Nightridge said opening her eyes and sitting up still in holo-form looking towards the robotic cat's location. At least it wa sonly the robotic one eyed cat. Personlly Nightridge didn't mind Ravage, but at times he could get annoying or just plain creep out a bot when he was focuse don a task. And to her luck Nightridge was the one to meet him, not to mention int he mdidle of nowhere! But it appeared he was just out for a stroll or something.
"So kitty cat, what brings a 'Con such as you to a place like this?" She asked resting her chin on her hand, elbow resting against her knee.

Ravage watched her holo-form curiously. Unlike most transformers, Ravage didn't really have, or need one.
"It's better than the city. Fleshling free." Ravage said, his metallic ears twitching a bit as he moved away from the bush and then sat back on the ground again. "Plus its not that hot out here. Add a lot more metal and it reminds me of home...a bit." he then growled. Well that didn't really make much sense. Eh, who cared.

Nightridge shrugge dehr shoulders, "What use to be home." She corrected. She sighe dlifting her ehad to let ehr eyes wander for a moemnt to s epcific spot int eh sky, the direction to Cybertron, to where he Transformers coudl barely call home any more since it was but a wasteland now. "We couldn't exactly cll it that any more Ravage hence all the fighting still going on. Honestly I hope it ends soemtime I'm tired of nearly turned to scrap and ahving to fight just to freaking survive an hour of existance." She finally turned her dark blue eyes on the cat bot once more. "And don't tell em somewhere deep down you don''t tnk the same sometime, everyone I'm sure is tired of the war by now."

"In a way, I've been blessed with a semi pitiful form. It's not exactly designed for melee combat. Some how I manage 90 percent of the time. That ten percent though, sometimes I DO get tired of getting beat up. Bumblebee practically ripped me in half once. Good old Megatron came back and salvaged me when things quieted down." He saw a lizzard on the ground. His ears flicked up quickly and in a dark blur his claws struck out, snatching the lizard. He had no need for human food so he just played with it till it died. "It's sad to think that our master's few, only motives are those damn teenagers. Where have all the bad ones gone...SLAGGIT I'm BORED." he growled, crushing the lizard's head with a single claw in frustration.

"It's Earth kitty cat, what do you expect? It's not luck we are expected to do soemthign twnty four hours a day for Megatron, it's been months since i got any orers at all in fact. The only thing I've ben doing is evading the Autobots and trying not to get turned to a heap of scrap." Nightridg aid leaning bakc against the hood again and hit the abck of her head a few times on the edge of the roof sicne she too was bored. "And I can't exactly Give Megatron the title 'Master' nor 'Lord' since it's kind of pointless honestly."She said with a small sigh.

A new signal closed in remarkably fast straight for Ravage.
"OH MAI GAWD! KITTEH!" A familar voice that sounded like a demented Optimus Prime came out of no where, flying low in his Autobot form, giant bat like wings full of nanomachines expanded like a blanket of darkness on either side of him. He said in at crazy speeds having recently used Turboboost to close in on the area faster. Now he was just using the tail wind to coast into his target.
Of course, whether or not he missed, KARR had fun irritating Ravage regardless.

"I mean---"Ravage's ears perked up AGAIN. He was about to reply when suddenly a large winged Decepticon came out of nowhere. As his ears perked up, he immediately growled and swiftly leaped backwards just barely in time. "I call Megatron my master because he is one of the few Decepticons I consider a good friend." He finished, glancing at KARR, who was flying straight to the wall of a plateu a bit too close to them for KARR to pull up in time with the speed he was going at.
[[posting as KARR uber quickly]]
WHAM. KARR attempted to swoop up but instead the fore half of his large body slammed into the plateau dead on.
"SLAG, I was sure I had 'im!!!" KARR complained as he let himself fall back first onto the ground as his wings retracted quickly like coils of snakes back between the large delta supports between his main Ion boosters. His bright yellow scanner that covered his optics continued to pace in and out, humming lightly, indicating he was fine other than dealing with the abrupt impact. It hurt despite him being bullet proof. "Maan the kitty doesn't like me." he pouted.
"Ugg." Ravage growled, shaking his head in irritation. "Don't tell me you know this sorry excuse for a Decepticon." the panther said to Nightridge, waving a paw at KARR who got up and sat cross legged.
"I hear that loud and clear kitty-cat!"
Ravage sat on his haunches with a thud, ears and tail twitching, emphasizing 100 percent surprise and irritation with the whole situation.

Nightridge watch the whole scnee with raised eye brows but sighed scrathcing the back of ehr ehad though looked at Ravage, "Actually I do Ravage. Quite well actually." But it had been several month since Nightridge ahd last seen KARR so it was kind of odd seeing him here and at the exact moment Ravage was ehre as well though did not dare ask what wa son ehr mind. Not outloud at least. The holo-form Nightridge glanced at KARR still surrpsied he was there. "Long time no see KARR." She greeted nervously, she felt very awkward since it seemed the two didn't really like each other.

"Indeeeed!" KARR said with a friendly salute.
Ravage shook his head. "I was only targeted probably because I've hardly seen him before. I've seen him following Megatron and Nemesis around like a lost puppy once or twice though." he scowled.
"What's your problem?" KARR snapped at Ravage. He folded his arms and sat there, grinning stupidly despite obviously disliking the cat. He glanced up at the sky, admiring the endless patches of stars and the milky way.

"his is going to be a long night...."Nightridge sighed and her holo-form flickered then disappeared. Engine coming to Life Ngihtridge transformed to robot mode and sat down cross legged, "So how on Earth did you find us exactly KARR? Or are you being a stalker as usual?" She asked casually as if it was a quation anyone would ask. All though it was nagging at Nightridge's proccessor seeming as KARR was often in places she had been assigned to or was just hanging out while balsting a few Autobtos along the way. But she glanced at Ravage.

"Yep, and because of boredom!" KARR answered while gazing at the stars, leaning back on his hands. "I got nothing to do so I decided to check out a place I haven't been in a while. I love being able to fly now. I can go anywhere I want." he said, staring back at them.
Ravage glanced at KARR. "...You're not that great at stalking. It's more like you randomly appear out of nowhere. Big difference. I, however, am the master stalker of the Decepticons." he replied, tail flicking briefly like it had a mind of its own.
It looked like these two got along quite well--he supposed that was an interesting note. Ravage didn't really care about KARR. At least he wasn't AS bored anymore...

"Mechs seem to get bored alittle too easily." Nightridge said leaning agaisnt a boulder.The full moon that had been hidden behind a single cloud wa snow shining below making the area a faint silver or ghouslty white, Nightridge's black armor now ahd a faint tingle of silver frm the light. "The Autobots are right about one thing, this planet isn't all that bad. Next tot the constant battles and al, it's pretty nice ehre." She said just for conversation. Finaly she looked at the two. At least there wasn't as much tension and Ngihtridge gave a silent sigh of relief.

KARR was still watching the sky, looking quite still. And then he saw a shooting star. "I saw a shooting star! It goes like this! PIIIING! He pointed at the sky and followed the movement of the path it'd once been on. Then in the distance he saw more. Could it be a meteor shower?
Ravage turned and trekked up the plateau that KARR had body slammed into earlier. He laid down on at the top, which was relatively flat, and then shifted onto his back, staring at the sky blankly. He was certain he could feel the Earth move ever so slightly. "Perhaps I will also fight just so I can call this planet OURS." By 'ours' he meant, mainly himself, and secondly, all other Decepticons including the two with him.
