Hey everybody! This is just a plot bunny that's been bouncing around in my head for a while, and I've wanted to get it down for what seems like forever. I thought of it a little after watching the Transformers Prime episode "Metal Attraction" and this is what came out of it! As always, I do not own Transformers, even though it would be awesome! (If I did season 3 of Prime would come out sooner. :))

Ratchet's P.O.V.

I'm a busy mech. Someone is always breaking something, someone always needs to be healed, and someone always needs to tell me something important which turns out to be a funny video they found on the internet.

But, there are rare occasions when I'm able to relax with a cube of energon and have a quiet moment to myself.

This is not one of those times.

"Okay, on three, everybody pull!"

"Do you mean on three, or after three?"

"Bumblebee just do it!"

"I thought it was a perfectly reasonable question."

"Be quiet Knock Out!"

"Whatever you say, Lord Megsy."

"What was that?"

"Nothing!"

"Somebody just start counting!"

I rolled my optics, how we got into this mess I don't even know.

Flash Back:

"Optimus, I'm picking up a strong signal. It resembles the one made by the magnetism gauntlet we found a few months ago. Except much stronger."

"Will you be able to trace it Ratchet?" Optimus asked as he walked up to me.

"I just have to change the- got it!" I said and stepped back so Optimus could look at the monitor. "We should try retrieve it right away. We don't want the Decepticons to get ahold of it, Soundwave has probably already traced the signal as well."

"Very well, Arcee, Bumblebee," Optimus called over to the two, who were watching Jack, Raf, and Miko play video games, "Come with me."

They shrugged and walked over, "What is it Optimus?" Arcee asked, placing a servo on her hip.

"Ratchet has found a magnetic disturbance, we fear it's caused by the same kind of device as the gauntlet," he replied.

"Great, another chance to get glued together. Let's go," Arcee said sarcastically and headed for the Ground bridge that I had activated moments ago.

"Sounds like fun!" Bumblebee said, contrast to Arcee, "It can't be all that bad."

"Optimus, perhaps I should go along as well, if this device has the same power as the gauntlet, you'll need my help," I told him.

Optimus paused, then said, "That would be best," he straightened, "Autobots, transform and roll out!"

We all transformed and went through the Ground bridge, winding up in a clearing surrounded by trees. We transformed back, and Optimus asked, "Ratchet, where is the location of the device?"

I peered at the scanner, "If my calculations are correct, it should be right there." I pointed to a small plateau jutting out of the ground.

"Well, time to smash!" Bulkhead said happily and activated his wrecking ball.

"Careful Bulkhead, we don't want to alert anyone of our position," Arcee warned as Bulkhead walked over to the plateau.

"Hah, careful is my middle name!"

Bumblebee leaned over and whispered, "I thought it was Francis." I had to chuckle, okay, that was pretty good.

"Huh, didn't know you could laugh," a voice spoke up from the trees.

We all whirled around, except for Bulkhead, who was busy trying to get to the gauntlet. After a moment, we found the source of the voice, and there was Starscream, casually leaning against a large tree. "Starscream," Optimus said slightly surprised, "What are you doing here?"

"Is that anyway to greet the Second in Command of Lord Megatron?" Starscream asked sarcastically, "Who, is proudly to introduce the Lord himself."

Starscream gestured to the trees, and as on cue Megatron walked into the clearing, followed by Knock Out and several Vehicons. "Optimus Prime, it's good to see you again," Megatron rasped, "I do wish the circumstances were a little different, but now I have a certain, Decepticon, device to find."

Optimus took a step forward, and activated his battle mask, "You'll have to go through me then."

The rest of us stepped up as well, and I glanced back to see Bulkhead almost have the gauntlet completely uncovered. That's when the Decepticons charged.

Megatron ran towards Optimus, who activated his blasters in turn. Knockout immediately went for the gauntlet, while Bumblebee chased after him. That left Arcee and I to the Vehicons.

We fought for I don't know how long, and we were all making grabs for the gauntlet after Bulkhead got tackled by a few Vehicons. Do not underestimate their strength when they're determined.

I looked over and saw Arcee almost grab it, but then get pushed out of the way by Knock Out, who in turn got punched in the face plates by Bumblebee. The gauntlet was open, and I was about to make my move when Optimus ran for it, as well as Megatron from the other side. Their servos touched it at the same time, and a large blast suddenly shook the entire area.

Everyone was blown back from the sheer voice, and it was a few seconds before I was able to see clearly. Autobots and Decepticons lay on the ground throughout the clearing, but no one seemed seriously hurt. I got to my feet and put a hand to my helm. That really hurt.

I looked up, and what I saw made my jaw drop. Knock Out was the next to recover, and when he saw what happened, burst out laughing. His laughter brought everyone else to their senses, and most of them shared my reaction. Meanwhile, Knock Out was now lying on the ground, unable to control himself. Bumblebee joined him soon after.

End Flashback.

So that's how a line of Autobots on one side, and a line of Decepticons on the other side ended up calling a truce to try to pull Optimus Prime and Megatron apart. Their backs were magnetized together, as well as one of their servos. It had taken five minutes for Knock Out and Bumblebee to stop laughing, even after Megatron threatened them both with death.

"Okay, on three, everybody pull!" I ordered when we were finally ready. I had hold of Optimus's foot while Starscream held Megatron's. Everyone else was lined up behind us holding on our sides.

"Do you mean on three, or after three?" Bumblebee asked.

"Bumblebee just do it!" Arcee moaned.

"I thought it was a perfectly reasonable question."

"Be quiet Knock Out!" Megatron shouted, clearly annoyed.

"Whatever you say, Lord Megsy."

"What was that?"

"Nothing!"

"Somebody just start counting!" one of the Vehicons, (I think his name was Steve) spoke up.

I rolled my optics, "Okay, on three, Bumblebee. One, two, three!" We all pulled at once, except for Knock Out who used it as a wordless jab at Megatron. It had no avail, we were only able to lift the two off the ground a couple of yards, and we gave up soon after.

"Maybe we should take a look at the gauntlet," Arcee suggested, "It might be able to reverse the effects." We all shrugged, and gently sat Optimus and Megatron down, who struggled to stay standing without falling over.

I reached the gauntlet first, and immediately regretted it. It was severed in two from the explosion, and the damaged looked like it would be hard to fix. I turned around, gauntlet in hand, and walked slowly back to the group, "I have good news and bad news."

"Go ahead Ratchet," Optimus said as he attempted to stay upright.

"Well, based on the range and size of the explosion, and the large distortion caused by the gauntlet's magnetism"

"English!" Bulkhead called.

I shot him a glare, "The power of the gauntlet's blast means the effects will the wear off a bit before the gauntlet is fixed."

Optimus and Megatron sighed in relief.

"Which, will take about a week."

"What!?" the both asked loudly, which caused Megatron to lean back a little, causing Optimus to lose his balance, and they crashed to the ground.

"Owww…"

So that's it for Chapter 1, what do you all think? I'm planning on only a few chapters, but if I want as many suggestions as to what should happen as possible! This is going to be fun... Muuahahahahahahahahahaha!
