There were rumors Ace had heard of. It seemed there was an unowned Energon mine just ripe for the taking in Oklahoma. Specifically it was near Ponca City, and that was where Ace was headed in vehicle mode. Upon arriving there which had taken him 3 days, Ace started to survey the area. Upon seeing no cons, or autobots around he started to walk into the mine. The Energon would still need to be refined, to a degree. Pulling out his sword Galaxia Ace started deeper into the mine, and when he located some Energon he slash Ace ted one of the crystals. When the crystal broke off, Ace took the crystal and chomped it. While it was not as good as the cubes, it would do to keep him going.

Ace then started converting some of the Energon crystals into cubes. A substantial supply would have to be taken from here. After all he had a lot of work that needed to be done. When he had about 200 cubes loaded into his 'trunk' area Ace was satisfied. 200 Cubes would be a sufficient amount at least for now. Later he'd need to get more Energon though.

"Hmm. Should I claim this mine as my own?"

Ace had eaten 10 energon Cubes he had converted, but had made 10 more.

Knockout had been sent to the middle of nowhere to investigate a possible new source of energon for the Decepticons. It was ridiculous. He wasn’t Megatron’s hound, no, that was someone else’s job. But at the same time, when the big man said to do something, one didn’t argue. It was shut up and go. The Decepticon doctor’s engine revved as he sailed over a long road that snaked annoyingly left and right through threes and up mountains, following the signal that betrayed the mine’s coordinates. Stupid humans. Couldn’t they learn to find a more practical way to travel across the land already?

No thinking or cursing of this planet’s subspecies could have gotten him past his sour mood. But then again, he did look absolutely dashing in steel-belted radials. There wasn’t a Decepticon or Autobot out there that beat his voluptuous paintjob. Knockout’s journey went from the pavement to off-road as the signal changed, and for a while he remained in his alt-mode, trying a little off-roading. It didn’t take him long to detest it. Ugh! I’m getting dirt in my rims, and my finish . . . Curse this job!

Deciding against risking his luxurious shine, the Decepticon doctor changed from his alt mode to his bipedal mode, walking forward while keeping out his tracker in one hand and his long, electrified baton in the other. Who knew what he’d run into out here?

It took longer than Knockout expected, but finally, he’d arrived at his destination. And he was met with an unusual sight upon coming to the entrance of the archway that led into the mine--- tire tracks. Had the Autobots beat him here? There was no telling who he’d run into on the way in . . . But coming back empty-handed without a good excuse was just as much a risk to his looks as it was going in . . . Megatron would scrap him for sure for being a disappointment.

“But . . . if I manage to scrap an Autobot while I’m out here . . . The rewards and bragging rights would no doubt bump me up even further on the totem pole.” Knockout mused to himself, his purring voice gaining a bit of enthusiasm at the spoken thought. “Especially if I can manage to do it while their back is turned . . .” His narcissistic tendencies couldn’t let him turn away now. The vain Decepticon walked forward as silently as he could, turning out his headlights in order to enter the mine as silently as he could. If there was too many--- or that cursed Prime about--- he would turn around, no matter the cost. He wasn’t going to risk his paint against a Prime, or a whole group of them. But if there was one--- one foolish stray Autobot--- He’d get them good.

Knockout’s diabolical plans were met with the familiar glow of Energon, and the back of a similarly-colored Cybertronian. Knockout stayed out of sight--- he knew for sure that this wasn’t a Decepticon. There was no one in their ranks that held the same hue as he did, though this wannabe certainly didn’t hold a candle to his dashing good looks. Taking the prod in his grasp and putting down his sensor, Knockout crept closer . . . and closer . . . Sneaking while the stranger mused to himself.

The Decepticon doctor swung his staff at the back of the other Cybertronian’s head, a gleeful grin on his white visage. “Allow me to offer a second opinion!”

Neon soared high above the clouds, gliding easily on her long wings, her tail whipping behind her as she did lazy loops and twists. Despite her apparent ease the predacon runt was still moving faster then the speed of sound. It felt slow to her, and made it easy for her to hon in on the faint signal she was tracking. It had to be an energon mine.

Finally after all this time she would be able to start her own hoard of the precious crystals. Every predacon seemed to have a mine of their own, or had picked a side to get the life giving fuel. She chattered to herself as she flew, before suddenly barrel rolling and then diving down below the clouds. The signal was as strong as it could be, meaning the mine was under her. The black predacon drew her wings in to give her more speed, any sounds she made were whipped behind her as she passed mach 10 by without any sort of strain.

Below her the ground rose to meet her, details in sharp clarity before she was more then a bird sized shadow on the earth. She could see two sets of tracks, two-legged cybertronians, and tires that matched. One set went in and out, the other just went in. Two against one in a close corner mine. She would be screwed. Just before the predacon would have no choice but to crash land she shot her wings out to their full length and backwinged hard. The maneuver allowed her to land silently before the boom of her flight could be heard.

By the time the sound finally reached the cybertronians inside her trap would be set. She had wedged herself into a crack in the rocks, all of her glowing breaks in her plates that showed her tell tail fire lines were hidden in the rock. Only her eyes and mouth showed, but even then were hidden in the shadow of the earth. It would be easy for her to spring and pounce on the first bit of cybertronian movement she saw in the mouth of the cave from here. While she waited she charged her fire. a full powered blast would ruin their day. and with her aim, it was doubtful she would miss.

When the distinct noise of foot steps hit his acutely sharpened senses that had been honed over years of being a Wrecker Ace knew someone had come up behind him. But it still did not prepare him for getting hit in the back of the head. The hit irritated Ace and made him turn his attentions on Knockout. "You know, sneak attacks are the work of a coward." This was said as Ace shrugged off the pain, and turned to face his attacker directly. Upon examining his attacker he realized that this attacker was none other than Knock Out, the chief medic of the Decepticons.

Capturing him and holding him for ransom would work as a good plan. His sword could not be used in here because Energon was flammable. Not wishing an explosion to happen Ace had another plan of action that would involve getting his hands dirty. Quickly he ran towards Knockout, preparing a punch aimed at the jaw of the decepticon medic. There would be no quips, no smart remarks. Knock Out would get knocked out and perhaps badly damaged if he resisted the actions of Ace too much for Ace was not in a good mood now.

Ace also at the same time he delivered the punch was considering his next move. His next move would be a kick to the chassis of Knock Out. Later he'd work on adding some non-energon weapons to his arsenal that would be more effective in the presence of Energon. It was a good idea at least to add some weapons like that to his arsenal. Preparedness could save his life one day.

"You know Knock Out, I've decided something. Unlike the Autobots out there I'm a neutral. I have ties to no one. So instead of capturing you and simply confining you for an indefinite period of time, what I'm gonna do is hold you for ransom. I imagine Megatron or Optimus would pay quite dearly to get you. And since you've annoyed me, I'll scratch up your paint job while I'm at it."

“You say ‘cowardice’, I say ‘self-preservation’.” Knockout said in response as the Cybertronian clambered back up onto their own two feet, a smirk still prominent on his faceplate. As the stranger turned to face him, Knockout’s bright red optics looked toward the Autobot insignia that was etched into his armor. Heh. He’d hit right, then. The Decepticon doctor arrogantly twirled his baton, his face holding the smoldering smile. He was sure that he had this fight in the bag.

He was waiting for the Autobot to make some kind of counter-attack, and was ready for his adversary’s advance. He stepped backward to avoid the punch that was aimed at his jaw, before side-stepping again to avoid the kick. He brought his prod back up with a fiendish chuckle, jabbing the electrified point at the Autobot’s side. “Coming at me from the front? Could you be less predictable?”

Knockout then jumped back to create more space. He’d risked his finish against this grungy Autobot as it was; Getting a little bit of space while the situation was assessed seemed like a better idea. It was then that the stranger spoke again, his tones carrying more arrogance than the Decepticon doctor had himself.

“Oh, please. Don’t make me laugh. You’re no hot shot, and I’m no easy catch.”

The electrified prod hit Ace in the joint, which annoyed him more than it should. Already furious at Knock Out Ace decided to use his sword and blast the consequences. With that in mind, Galaxia was unsheathed. An Energon crystal nearby was broken with a slash, and then loaded into the sword which seemed to light up with red energy. "You know, normally I'm against using Energon Weapons in an Energon Mine. But in order to facilitate a quick victory, I'll do it."

Ace then slashed with the Energon infused sword at Knock Out relentlessly. There was no subtlety to the attacks he was performing, but a ferocity similar to that of some Decepticons, including the Insecticons. Ace then did a quote from one of the earth movies he actually liked, the Hulk.

"You shouldn't have made me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry."

Knockout kept backpedaling to keep space between himself and the Autobot. It was how he worked when it came to a fight . . . They’d swing. Just maybe get a lucky hit if they were good . . . But he’d do everything he could to weasel his way out of having his finish marred. He’d attack when it was good for him, and the most punishing for his enemies . . . And yet, this Autobot was proving to be more and more . . . bizarre at every turn!

The Decepticon Doctor watched as he pulled out a sword. It wasn’t anything special in his eyes--- just some weapon. He hardly paid attention to the other’s prattle, and instead watched as he took a chunk of raw energon and stuck it in the hilt. Is he seriously using unrefined energon to power his tools? Is he that stupid? Everyone knows unrefined energon is just as harmful as it is beneficial. Or maybe he didn’t know? Autobots were all stupid and drunk with “noble heroism”. Maybe he was the same as the rest of the blithering lot, despite the fact that he said he wasn’t one of them?

Knockout didn’t have time to contemplate the thought further. The Autobot-not-Autobot lashed out at him like a beast, swinging his sword around again. And again, Knockout backpedaled, though he didn’t hold back any kind of sarcastic remark. “It’s a sword, don’t overthink it!” Swipe, dodge, swipe, dodge. “You’re hardly making this interesting.”

The banter seemed less than stimulating when the Autobot spoke again. Knockout was familiar with the line (he secretly enjoyed drive-in theatres) and couldn’t help but feel nauseated. This punk was a nerd. The red hot hotrod put up his prod as a defense against the next coming strike, with a newer reply prepared. “On the contrary. I like it rough.”

When the prod came up as a defensive measure Ace then lowered the sword for a moment, and raised his foot. One shard of the Energon Crystal on the ground was kicked at Knock Out. Only this crystal had a very jagged edge on the part that was not being kicked at the Decepticon Doctor. With the kick done, another fighting style was adopted by Ace to counter the menace of this Decepticon. His sword was casually tossed behind him and immediately he started attacking like a boxer. "What do you say we do this old school Decepticon? Or are you afraid of fighting without your shock prod in hand?"

With that said, Ace launched an all out offense of punches and kicks at the mad Decepticon Doctor in an attempt to bring him down, and provide him some humility. There was no reason he should die by means of using unrefined Energon to power his weapons. It had been a mistake. Later he'd steal the resources to build more of his technology. Perhaps some blasters should be next. Or maybe some explosives. Either way he needed a way to fight at a distance, and perhaps one that didn't eat up Energon.

BlitzTech -

A young femme watched from a distance. Her and a 'friend' have been on the trail of a Energon mine, and not only did she find a fresh mine, but a Mech fight. She couldn't help but giggle to herself as the two Mech's battled. She looked around quickly, the last thing she needed right now was the grumpy old Metal Steed bothering her now, or worse, butting into the battle and destroying her entertainment. She hummed softly to herself before she grinned "I'm sure they won't mind me taking some of this while they're busy...fighting" she jumped off the ledge she was perched on, landing with a low thump and stealthily making her way around the two to get to the neon blue crystals.

The red hot hotrod quirked a metallic eyebrow at the Autobot-not-Autobot as he took the sword he had only just pulled out and threw it aside, the crystal he had kicked at him bouncing off of his chestplate and clattering back to the ground. Was this a fight or a joke? Because Knockout couldn’t tell. And honestly it was actually getting on his circuits a little bit. This Mech couldn’t be that slagging stupid, could he? Or maybe he just wasn’t taking the Decepticon doctor seriously at all? He was almost tempted to contact the Nemesis now that he had the mine’s coordinates to unleash the Decepticon might upon this pitiful waste of space to smite him into oblivion.

But it was Just too tempting to just kill the Autobot-not-Autobot himself, and was certainly too focused on the task ahead to be aware that there was another Mech lurking around. His grasp tightened on the weapon he wielded, the electricity cackling at the end again as he jabbed the punishing prod forward again, aiming to get Ace right at his spark. Whether Knockout made the hit or his target leapt away, his voice would purr back again, the tones goading and arrogant. “Decepticon.”

This time as the shock prod was thrust at him Ace did the unexpected and leaped back picking up his sword. It was time to stop playing nice with the Decepticon. Not that he particularly needed the mine, but he wanted to haul enough Energon to sustain him for a while. This is why Ace looked over at Knock Out. This Decepticon was more agile. Probably loved his finish more than he wanted to fight. "Very well. I suppose now is the time obviously to stop playing around with you Decepticon Scum."

Ace's expression turned menacing, to the point where it might even give Megatron a good scare if he were to actually see it. There was no time for fancy sword maneuvers. Plus with the instability of the Energon in the cave he dared not use his sword in the area anyway. It was time for a more direct approach. So the sword was sheathed. Reaching up, Ace tore a stalagmite off the ground and flung it at the chest of Knock Out. This was repeated by Ace six times. The Decepticon would have the chance to leap back, or get hit by any of those perhaps.

Hopefully the Stalagmites would become the ideal distraction as Ace transformed into vehicle mode. This was used to drive close to Knock Out and then release smoke right in his face before driving back a distance and becoming his robot mode again. Once he transformed into his robot mode Ace unsheathed his sword Galaxia and prepared himself to deal with the Decepticon. The Shock Prod was an annoyance he planned not to fall for again if he could avoid such a thing. But he still had to bring down the Decepti-creep.
