SUMMARY: A few months have passed since the cookie incident, and the Decepticons and Autobots are restless. Not because of the lack of fighting, but because they can't think of anything that Optimus and Megatron can't do... UNTIL...one day, Blackout comes across the show "Wipeout" and ANOTHER bet ensues...who will be victorious this time? The brothers or their men?
"MAN... I'M SO FRAGGING COLD!" Blackout shouted, as he wandered through the halls of the Decepticon Warship. The Nemesis had lost power, which meant the heat was off. All the Decepticons were in the lounge, huddled close to each other trying to warm up. Soundwave was trying to fix the power. Blackout walked into the lounge, and sat down next to Bonecrusher, "And I'm bored."
"I have some tv shows downloaded on my laptop," Starscream said, as he pulled out his laptop, and placed it on his knees. All the Decepticons huddled around him, and Starscream began going down through the shows. Shockwave pointed over his shoulder.
"That one! Wipeout!" At once the Decepticons began nodding in agreement.
"Wipeout is such a good show."
"I love the big red balls."
"Uh, what's Wipeout?" Blackout asked, and everyone fell silent. Soundwave walked into the room, and pointed at the door.
"I may not be Megatron, but get out," he said in a non-monotone voice. Blackout got up, his shoulder drooping.
"Ok."
"HE WAS JOKING BLACKOUT!" Everyone yelled, and the black bot brightened up.
"OK, but...what is Wipeout?"
"Well, it's a game show were humans go through obstacle courses, and then they can win money. This is the one where they do it in pairs," Starscream explained. Blackout looked down at the screen, and a smile slowly spread across his facial plating. Barricade turned to him.
"Uh oh. Blackout's getting an idea."
"How do you sign up for this show?" Blackout asked. All the Decepticons turned to him, "What if we signed up Megatron and Optimus for the pairs one?" As one Decepticon, smiles began to spread across all their facial platings. Starscream cracked his talons, and began typing on the keyboard.
"Let the fun begin."
"STARSCREAM! GET YOUR AFT IN HERE NOW!"
Starscream made his way towards Megatron's office, and poked his helm in, "You called Lor..." Megatron threw a data pad at his helm, but Starscream ducked.
"WHY DID I JUST GET A CALL FROM JOHN HENSON SAYING I WAS ON WIPEOUT WITH OPTIMUS?" Megatron screamed, waving the phone around as he did. All the Decepticons gathered in the hall outside of Megatron's office, listening to the conversation.
"Well, you see...we signed you and Prime up," Starscream said. He watched as one of Megatron's optics began to twitch uncontrollably.
"You...did...WHAT?" Megatron screamed, "I'M GONNA RIP YOUR AFT OFF AND SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR VOCAL PROCESSOR!" The phone rang again, and Megatron picked it up, "WHAT?" he yelled into it, "Yes I know we're on Wipeout together! I just got the call! I'm not doing this!" His cooling vents were working overtime, "I don't care I don't want to look like an idiot!" He slammed the phone down, "The joke's on you, I'm not doing it," Starscream simply shook his helm.
"So, you're going to admit that you and Prime can't win Wipeout?" Megatron opened his mouth to speak, but stopped.
"What?"
"You heard me," Starscream leaned forward on Megatron's desk, "We bet that you and Prime can't win Wipeout," Megatron also leaned over his desk.
"And if we do?"
"Then we and the Autobots will do all the paperwork, all the cleaning, and anything else that needs to be done," A cry of protest was heard from the Autobots, "And if you don't, then you and Prime have to do whatever we want you to do," A cry of protest was heard from Optimus. Megatron looked Starscream in the optics, and held out his hand. They shook.
"You got yourself a bet."
OH NO! What will happen when Optimus and Megatron venture to the Wipeout Zone? How will they succeed this deadly obstacle course? What will John and John and Jill say? How will the big balls react? STAY TUNED FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE OF WIPEOUT! (In other words, stay tuned for the next chapter).
And if you don't know what Wipeout is, then google it.
That is all.
