Drift's Samurai Showdown - Revision history

Cyberlink420: Not having the caption be a Samurai Shodown quote feels...incorrect somehow. Also, the first two lines of the haiku aren't even 5-7, so the joke doesn't even work.

	In the nearby woods, Russell and Jetstorm encounter Drift and fill him in on the situation. Drift explains how he was once a homeless bot until he joined the Decepticons, but after nearly being destroyed in battle, he was found by the [[Circle of Light]] and trained as a samurai. He later joined the Ronin, but became uncomfortable with their methods, and after an incident in which they almost blew up [[Athena]]'s moon, he blew up the ship and fled their company. Drift returns to the scrapyard with Russell and Jetstorm, using them as "prisoners" in order to convince the Decepticons that he's on their side. The promise of the location of nearby [[energon]] stores piques the Decepticons' interest.		In the nearby woods, Russell and Jetstorm encounter Drift and fill him in on the situation.

Drift returns to the scrapyard with Russell and Jetstorm, using them as "prisoners" in order to convince the Decepticons that he's on their side. The promise of the location of nearby [[energon]] stores piques the Decepticons' interest.

	Drift leads the three Decepticons to a deserted factory outside the city, the site of a previous Decepticon capture, where there's a known energon stash. They break in, though they're almost discovered by police ~~office~~ [[Wong]]. Drift is able to prevent the man's death at the hands of the Decepticons by faking Wong's death, and the officer is able to leave intact without even having seen a Cybertronian. They return to the scrapyard where Drift uses some shuriken to surreptitiously free Denny, Russell and the Mini-Cons while slipping them a note. The freed prisoners are able to defrost Team Bee from the stasis pods and explain what's up with Drift. A battle ensues between the Autobots and the three Ronin. Despite using every trick in their bags, the Decepticons are defeated. Bumblebee apologizes to Drift, who promises to try to be more open in future, and who also apologizes to his Mini-Cons. The three Decepticons are loaded into stasis pods.
