TF Prime: Alternate Story 3: Friends United
Chapter 1: Mysterious Duo
One year later in the summer after TFP: Alternate Story: The Series...
It was the first day of summer on the planet Cybertron. The town of Iacon had populated even more than last year. New friends to Bee and the others included, Mirage, Wheeljack, and even more Eradicons. However, two more were heading over but nobody had seen them...yet. Meanwhile at Soundwave's house, Soundwave, Bee, Optimus and Starscream were painting a picture of them and all of their friends. Even Lazerbeak gave it a shot.
"It's perfect!" Bee said happy with the painting.
"Work of art!" Optimus added.
"Nice job guys!" Starscream said.
"Thanks for the help!" Soundwave said as Lazerbeak attached back to his chest.
They hung it on the wall and just stared at it. All four of them smiled.
"Oh hey guys I got to go, Shockwave and I are heading over to the junkyard to see if we can find any cool things." Starscream said.
"Alright see ya!" Soundwave said.
Meanwhile, Shockwave was already walking on over to the junkyard. The junkyard was full of old and rusted parts from cybertronians. It is a place where you can get old things and make them new if you want. Shockwave wanted to find some parts to use to upgrade himself. Starscream hadn't arrived yet but two others were already there. Shockwave heard clanging and banging nearbye.
"Who's there?" Shockwave said stopping dead in his tracks.
He listened, he heard more banging from far away some metal flying in the air.
"Starscream if you're scaring me, I suggest you stop!" Shockwave threatened stepping slower around. He kept his claws tucked into fists and held them in front of him in case of an attack.
"Megatron? Bulkhead? Breakdown?" Shockwave yelled out getting more nervous but never let his guard down.
The noise became quiet as Shockwave came towards one corner of the junkyard. Many old parts piled high covering the whole corner with a shadow. Shockwave looked frantically around and was getting ready to call Starscream when a pair of optics formed from his left side deep in the shadows. They were white and looked angry. Shockwave stared back and shook slighly. Suddenly the figure spoke.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't one of Bee's friends." the figure said coming out a little from the darkness.
From what Shockwave could see, the figure had sharp spikes all around him, long sharp claws, and seemed to have nearly Starscream's body figure.
"Who are you?" Shockwave asked still shaking.
"No need to know, just watch out behind you!" the figure said as it pointed a claw to the figure behind Shockwave.
Shockwave nearly jumped out of his armor when he saw another figure staring at him. Shockwave kept his fists up which they noticed.
"You think you can take both of us on?" The second figure said.
Finally the second figure walked out from the darkness to reveal himself to be Barricade. He smiled evily and advanced towards Shockwave who backed up. He didn't know he was backing up straight into the first figure who held Shockwave back to keep him from escaping. Both happened to be the same size and so was Barricade. Barricade was still walking towards Shockwave who was struggling to get free. Shockwave is actually supposed to be as powerful as Megatron, but Shockwave was panicking and not thinking about his full power at this point. Barricade got a fist ready to punch him. Shockwave closed his only optic as Barricade launched the fist towards his face. But the impact never came. Shockwave's nervousness went quickly away as he heard laughing coming from both of them. He found himself opening his eyes to see a fist right in his face. Barricade put it down and laughed more.
"You actually fell for that!" Barricade laughed.
"You should have seen your face!" the figure that was once holding him said.
"Wait what?" Shockwave asked confused finding himself free from the figure's grip.
"Dude, we were just playing with you!" Barricade said tapping a claw on Shockwave's chest.
"That's not cool Barricade and...who are you?" Shockwave asked turning around to the figure who stopped laughing.
"I'm Makeshift!" he said holding out a hand. "We lived in the same city except we never talked. But Barricade told me all about you."
"Oh, well nice to meet you!" Shockwave said shaking the hand. "Have you guys seen Starscream?" he asked putting his claws on his hips.
"I'm right here!" Starscream said from nearbye laughing.
"How long have y-"
"About 5 minutes."
"So, what are you two doing here?" Shockwave asked.
"Oh, just looking for some spare parts!" Makeshift said finally coming out of the shadows.
"Dude, I can barely see your whole body!" Starscream said as he tilted his head slightly over to the side.
"Oh, I have on very dark plating. It's specially made so you can't see barely any part of me. Except my eyes." Makeshift said shrugging.
"Hey Shockwave, why would you think I would beat you up? We are kinda like friends aren't we?" Barricade asked as they began to look around.
"Yeah, but you just scared me, that's all." Shockwave said.
Later the new duo met Optimus, Bee and Soundwave who were happy to meet them. Well, a little creeped out by Makeshift's dark plating.
