As promised, here is the new Transformers: RObots in Dismguise story. I swear it will get better once it's actually up and running, but I really wanted to get this out to you today. So farewell to Amelia, Skylar, Cassidy, even Optimus Prime for the most part, and say hello to our two new characters: Sam and Magic Esquivel! Yes, Esquivel. You'll find out later.

"Why the hell are they making us go stay with Uncle Denny!? I mean, we're perfectly capable of staying home on our own!" Samantha protested for the millionth time from the back of the cab that was currently taking her and her sister to the outskirts of Crown City and into downtown.
"Well, they are going to be gone for over a year. Would you honestly trust your children to be home on their own for so long?" Magellan tried to reason with her currently unstable sister. "I mean, we don't even have any money to pay for stuff like food or for the house itself." she continued to persuade the blonde.
"That doesn't mean we have to go and stay with his old college room-mate. Just because we used to visit him when we were little, doesn't make us all the best of friends." she retorted. "It may have been a little better if we were in the city but no~ we're stuck in some provincial area where the only exciting thing happening is someone falling over in the mud." she grumbled as the cab went over one of the speed bumps in the road.
"You gotta admit that it was funny when you fell over last time we went to the park after it had been raining." Magellan tried to cheer her up.
"No, it wasn't Magic. I sprained my wrist falling. Nothing is funny about someone falling over. Especially in the mud." Sam replied. After a minute of silence, she started ranting about something else. "We don't even see mom and dad that often anymore! They're always off doing this and that for the government. Now they're off to who knows where-" she ranted.
"London." Magic interjected before being cut off again.
"-yeah whatever. And they decide to send us halfway across the country so we can stay with some strangers. They didn't even say goodbye. Just left a note when we woke up."
"If you had read the note then it would've explained that they were called earlier than expected and couldn't stay long enough to say goodbye!" Magic retorted, raising her voice.
"Whatever." Sam sighed. "I'm glad they're gone. But I'm telling you, nothing good is going to come from staying here."
"Oh buck up Sam. I heard that Russell is staying with us as well. He's like what, twelve? Thirteen now?" magic tried to keep positive.
"Oh great. Along with this year being a bore, it's going to be crowded." With that, both girls carried on arguing. Arguing being one ranting and the other trying to make her feel better about it. While all this went on, the cab driver pulled up his hood and turnedup the radio, trying to drown out the two girls in his backseat.
"You say what you want, I'm gonna phone Uncle Denny and make sure he knows we're getting close." Magic said, getting out her mobile phone.
In downtown Crown City, in a scrapyard, a rag tag group of humans and bots alike were setting up their new base. It was only a few days ago that Russell had been walking in the woods, looking for a supposed meteorite but instead came across Sideswipe and Underbite. This led to him and his dad meeting the rest of the team and now they were aiding them in their mission to re-capture all of the missing Decepticon criminals that had escaped from the crash-landed prison ship called the Alchemor. The team of Cybertronians were from the planet called Cybertron. The team consisted of the black and yellow armoured leader named Bumblebee, the second in command blue and white femmebot Strongarm, red-clad rookie Sideswipe, 'Con turned Bot 'on probation' green dinobot called Grimlock and orange prison ship caretaker Fixit. Along with them, there were the two humans Denny and Russell Clay. They practically gave them a place to hide out and helped them with their cover story on missions.
"Finally. I think all remainders of the Alchemor are here. How are the stasis pods coming on Fixit?" Bumblebee asked the minicon.
"Just wine, d-dine, FINE!" Fixit stammered, after hitting himself on the chestplate a few times to get the correct word out. Bee nodded.
"Good. Strongarm, Sideswipe, Grimlock, how's setting up the rest of the base coming along?" Bee asked them.
"It would be going better if SOMEBOT wasn't wasting time giving orders!" Sideswipe jabbed at Strongarm.
"Well we would already be done if Sideswipe would actually help!" Strongarm retorted.
"Both of you need to start working together if we're going to function as a team. If that proximity alarm was to go off now, we would not be able to handle the Decepticon because you two aren't able to work together." Bumblebee scolded them.
RIIIIIINNNNG!~ RIIIINGGGGG!~
This caused all of the bots to go stiff, thinking it was the proximity alarm. The only noise now was the ringing as none of the bots were sure what it was.
"That's not the proximity alarm going off. It doesn't make a ringing noise. It's more like a long droning sound repeating itself." Fixit mused.
"Oh, that's just the phone." Russell explainde to them, coming out of the diner as the ringing stopped, meaning Denny had answered the phone. "Someone was calling." he told them.
"What's a phone, sir?" Strongarm asked Bee.
"Uh… it's like a physical com link that humans have to hold instead of having in their helms in order to communicate with other human all over the world." Bee tried to explain.
"Oh." Sideswipe replied, having heard his definition.
"Uh oh," Denny said, coming out of the diner." This is bad, Very, very bad." he thought aloud as he walked over.
"What's wrong dad?" Russell asked him.
"Remember when you were really young and my old college room-mate R would come over with his daughters and you would play together?" Denny asked his son, the rest of the bots listening to them.
"No, but go on." Russell replied, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Well, a few days before you came, R called me and told me he was going away for a year and asked me if I would take his girls in until he and his wife came home. They're going to be here in about 15 minutes." Denny explained.
"Great. More humans to look out for. So much for no more humans getting involved." Bee stated with an annoyed tone in his voice.
"I'm sorry Bumblebee. But I can't send them back with no one to care for them for an entire year. I promised their father I'd look after them and I don't intend to break that promise." Denny explained to him apologetically.
"It's alright Denny. Me and the others will stay out of site until you've been able to explain to the two other humans about us. Last thing we need is for them to panic and go telling people." Bee told him.
"With all due respect sir, is it truly best to let more civilians be put into harms way. They wouldn't stand a chance against the Decepticons." Strongarm protested.
"I can't make Denny go back on his word. He has his rights to do this. The least we can do is make it smooth over as much as we can." Bee told her. "Autobots, transform and fall back!" he announced, gaining him silence.
"If you keep on coming up with bad lines, I'm leaving the group." Sideswipe commented before transforming with everyone else and going to hide in the scrapyard. That left just Denny and Russell.
"So uh… we got people coming to stay? What are they like?" Russell asked his dad, trying to fill the silence.
"I'm not sure really. I heaven't seen them since they were eleven and you were six. I do know that they're seventeen and they're called Samantha and Magellan though. They were lovely when they were younger so they should be the same now right?" Denny asked rhetorically.
"...You know nothing about teenage girls do you?" Russell asked him.
"No clue."
15 minutes later
"Okay girlies, that's 50 bucks." the cab driver said as he got their stuff out of the trunk of the cab. As he did so, Denny and Russell came to the gate of the scrapyard to see them.
"Hey girls! Glad you came!" Denny exclaimed as the two girls got out of the cab.
"Yeah. A real pleasure." Sam replied, no emotion in her voice, slamming the door once she was out and headed towards the boot to grab what looked like a guitar case.
"Ignore Miss Sunshine here uncle Denny. We're both totally psyched to be here. And for an entire year as well." Magic told her 'uncle', shutting her own door after paying the driver
"Gee, thanks Magic." Sam drawled as she grabbed some other stuff from the trunk, tossing them to Magic, including a rectangular instrument case which was pretty large. It was like the TARDIS in there. So much stuff coming out where it should struggle to fit.
"Don't take it personally Uncle Denny, Sammy here's just a bit annoyed because of our parents having to leave so suddenly." Magic explained to him as the cab driver started getting back into the front seat, door shutting behind him. He was very quick to drive off, eager to get away from the two girls who had been giving him a headache the entire drive up there. "But I'm sure after a bit, she'll be back to normal." she continued, heading over to them across the road, Sam trailing behind her, both of them lugging their cases with them. "Do you mind showing us where we'll be sleeping so we can put our stuff away?" she asked him.
"Sure thing kiddo. Just this way." he said, grabbing a bag from each of the girls.
"I swear to God, if he calls me kiddo at all, I'm outta here." Sam grumbled, walking into the scrapyard. "Huh. We're staying in a junk pile. Neat." she drawled sarcastically.
"I prefer the term 'Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist'. We tend not to use the words 'junk' or 'scrap' around here." Denny said as we walked.
"Great. So not only are we staying in a junkyard, we're not allowed to call it one." Sam growled.
And here's the first chapter. I promise, Sam will lighten up. But wouldn't you act the same if your parents up andleft you for a year without saying goodbye? You wouldn't exactly be in a good mood.
Also, I've started watching Transformers: Rescue Bots. Let me know what you think of it as well as this chapter.
Please review as reviews are like marshmallows. Mmmmmm... marshmallows.
I'm off to eat some marshmallows! Bye!
