And it's been a while since I've gotten into the whole fanfiction thing. Sorry for the shortness! It seemed long on my word pad! Just think of this chapter as the prologue or something. The "Establishing Chapter", hehe.
---
It had been many, many vorns of wandering the empty spaces of the universe.
"Anything?"
"No.."
The only activity in whole quadrant would seem to be from the traveling space ship, Sigma Travel Craft 5, which traversed in hyper-speed. With 4 very discouraged mechanoids inside doing their best to keep their hopes up during the ride.
"Sniiiipe..." an infiltration specialist mech, with yellow optics, moaned from behind one of the control panels.
"Reddd..." the recon mech, with a large optic on his left eye, replied at the front of the ship.
"Anything?"
"Primus, I said no! You asked me that an astrosecond ago!" Snipe replied with frustration.
"Could you two rust buckets give it a rest? I can hear you all the way over here." a mech with blue eyes gruffed in his seat, obviously weary of the unnecessary audio disturbances in the craft. It was funny for him to say that because he was a communications mech, whose head module equipment could receives AM and FM radio, shortwave, UHF, and VHF television signals as weak as .000001 watts. In short, he could pick up signals of almost anything.
"Hubs.. You can hear EVERYTHING. I'm surprised you can hear us over the DEAFENING SILENCE OF THE OPEN SPACE!" Infrared retorted, slamming his heavy hands onto the panel top.
"Please, Infrared, you don't need to result to loud conversation like that. We're all tired. And if you would like, you could go recharge for a few breems." the soft voiced, doctor mech, whose eyes were covered by blue shades, said at the main navigation panel.
"Don't tell him that, First Aid! He's just being a whiny sparkling, cuz he's too bored to keep his voice capacitor OFF!" Snipe made a larky sneer at Infrared. "You'd just be encouraging his nasty behavior." Motioning his head as if he was a human sticking his tongue. Ofcourse, he didn't even have a mouth OR a tongue to do that with, so it looked more like a silly wag of his head.
"What?? Yer bored too! We've been traveling this crazy universe, and not a HINT of where Optimus and his gang has been found yet! How do we know they're not dead or something. Ship run outta energon, and floated into a black hole or something." answered Infrared, defending himself and finally exploding with thoughts he had accumulated over the course of the travel.
"How could you say that?! If that really did happen, then there would be no hope for any of us! We NEED that Allspark to revive Cybertron. You better-" Snipe said before he was hastily cut off by Infrared tackling him. Red had the ability to block the light signals to a mech that corresponded with the visibility of his body. Thus, making him invisible to his unfortunate prey, or victims.
"Better what?" Red said and laughed as he had Snipe in his grip, twirling and flipping him thru the air.
The two mechs wrestled and clashed with each other in the middle of the ship, making it quite a sight to see. Specifically because Snipe was too hot-tempered to pinpoint where Infrared was attacking him from, and because Red was not focusing on keeping himself invisible to the other teammates, so you would see parts of him disappear then reappear very randomly. First Aid and Hub Cap watched quietly as they came realllllly close to kicking the engine control panels. First Aid jolted in his seat to get up and break up the fight, but Hubs motioned him to leave them alone. [[They both can become a real pain in the aft if you don't let them tire themselves out. Hubs said to First Aid thru his comlink.
First Aid silently protested, but eventually agreed to let them fight themselves till they got tired of it. He kept himself ready to jump between the two incase the rough-housing got out of control. It usually didn't. But then again, they had been on the ship for a very long time.
"Get off me!!"
"Let go of ME, and I'll get OFF of YOU!"
"You microchip head! You have your ARMS around my HEAD." Snipe kicked and yelled from under Red.
"Oh... ha! Then I win! I'm the best! The greatest! The next in line to the Prime Title!" Red released Snipe and dusted himself off while cheering victoriously to himself.
Snipe was not too happy of the self-proclaimed outcome, and wanted to congratulate the slaghead in his own special way. Without Red looking, he charged up behind him and knocked him over unexpectedly onto First Aid. The two mechanoids fell backwards, and accidentally crashed into the navigation panels, which sent the whole ship whirling thru space towards a barren planet.
"Snipe you slagging piece of-"
