Hey Guys! I just have one thing to say. I'm so Sorry! I've left you guys, what kind of a fanfiction author does that. Anyway, I was gonna post this on Halloween, but it took me longer then expected. And when I got it done, my mother wanted me to change a few things, then she decided to check it! So yeah, this fanfiction is *looks at it* forty six pages long. What else am I forgetting? Oh! I own nothing, except for the Oc.
A hand appeared, wielding an axe. It descended down to chop on a….. sandwhich?
"Ah, this is the life," Steven, or as he was mostly called, Starscream said.
"Great food, excellent location, and most important of all, no monsters!" Starscream said to himself as he took a bite out of his sandwich. A look of bliss crossed his features. He pushed his black hair back, the small tinge of red hair standing out among the black locks.
A rustling sound reached Starscream's ears as he turned around to see a black figure walking towards him.
"Ah! Monster!" Starscream shrieked, jumping into the hammock, sending it spinning. He soon found himself tangled up in his desperate attempt to escape. His red eyes stared up in fear, a desperate squeak emerging from his mouth.
The 'Monster' suddenly tripped, its large bulk falling over. "Sorry guys," it moaned, pulling off its outfit to reveal a young man. He was quite large, his arms wide with muscle. He looked normal with his dark brown hair, except for the eyepatch on his left eye. "I was just trying out this new mosquito suit," Peter, or Shockwave said, standing up to his full height.
[Maybe you should try a size medium,] Soundwave signed as he walked over to the two. His appearance was quite unusual, including the black mask that covered his face.
"Would you guys stop fooling around," a voice demanded. A young woman strode forward, dressed in shorts with black stockings and a black leather jacket over her small figure. Her short, black hair with purple and gold highlights added to her bold fashion statement. "We're here to do a little shopping, remember?" Angela, or Airachnid said, gesturing to the large sporting goods store they were in.
"You know that Breakdown and Knockout are excited to show us their old summer camp," Airachnid continued, her tone bored.
Two young men showed up with camping gear. "We're so excited to show you guys are summer camp," Brook, or Breakdown said, his black hair a mess.
"Yeah, getting a sunburn is so much fun, plus it won't go well with my complexion," Kevin, or Knockout said dramatically, fixing his red hair.
"Did we tell you guys about the time we went canoeing?" Breakdown asked.
"Yes," everybody exclaimed as they walked to the store doors with their supplies.
"There we were, with no oars at all," Breakdown said, oblivious to the stares he was getting from his friends. Knockout sighed in annoyance as Breakdown spun his dramatic tail.
They walked outside to where Michael, or Megatron, was waiting for them with the Nemesis van.
"So you kids are going to Camp Decepticon, eh?" a man asked, walking over to them.
"Yep, all of us," Breakdown said, a large, excited smile on his face.
"I've heard about you," Shockwave said, his voice deep with interest. "You're Alpha Trion, the record's keeper of this town."
Megatron raised an eyebrow. "Record's Keeper? Isn't that a bit fancy for someone in this small town?" Shockwave just shrugged, ignoring Megatron.
"Whatever you call me, it does not change what I know. Which is plenty of stories of the mystical realm. Wanna hear some?" Alpha Trion asked.
"Nope," Knockout said quickly as he and Starscream jumped into the van and closed the doors. "We're in a bit of a hurry,"
"Well, if you need anything, you know how to find me," Alpha Trion said.
The Nemesis drove out of town and continued down the road with Megatron at the wheel. The Nemesis was large enough to fit the whole group comfortably, with plenty of seats. "So, where is this Camp Decepticon?" Airachnid asked, her feet propped up.
"Right here," Breakdown said pointing towards a beautiful looking camp.
"Wow! I didn't know Camp Decepticon would be that good," Starscream said, finally interested in this trip Breakdown had dragged them into. When it had been announced that they would be going camping, Starscream had fought tooth and nail against it. He had pointed out all the things that could go wrong. Ironically, it was Shockwave who had pointed out the benefits of camping. Curse him and his logic.
"Oh no, that's not Camp Decepticon," Breakdown said with a sneer.
"It's not?" Airachnid asked.
"Nope, that's Camp Autobot," Knockout said with a glance out the window.
"Camp Decepticon is down there," Breakdown said pointing to an rundown, shaggy looking camp. Starscream blanched at the state the camp was in.
The Nemesis drove through a hollowed out tree that was large enough for a truck to drive though.
"This place is a dump," Shockwave said, breaking the stunned silence.
[It's… rustic?] Soundwave signed as they drove past abandoned cabins.
"I can't wait to get started as camp counselor!" Breakdown said, bouncing in his seat.
"At least this camp isn't haunted," Starscream muttered.
A man ran forward in front of the van, causing Megatron to step on the breaks. "Get out of here!" the man screamed. "This place is haunted!" Starscream fainted at the word, kissing his vacation goodbye.
"Hey Steve," Breakdown shouted, rolling the window down. "What are you talking about?"
"There's no time to explain! I'm going to Camp Autobot, and you should too!" Steve shouted as he ran off.
"We better find out was going on around here," Breakdown said as he hastily got out of the van with the others following him.
"Where is everyone?" Airachnid asked, looking around the empty camp.
"Hey everybody! I hear voices up ahead," Breakdown exclaimed as he ran off.
The lake they came to was large and murky. And a man was talking to a blond woman dressed in an officer's uniform. She had a notepad out and was writing something down as she observed a burned down building.
"I've told the camper's family that the camp is closed for the summer," the elderly man said.
"What!?" Breakdown exclaimed in horror. "You can't close down the camp."
The old man turned around, surprise on his face. "Well if it ain't Breakdown," he said, a smile on his face. "Get over here and give me the Camp Decepticon welcome!" Breakdown smiled as he marched forward.
"Deep in the woods,
That goes on and on,
Near the lake,
Is Camp decepticon," (A/n I know it's bad :( )
The others looked at the two as if they were crazy, no doubt about that. "Knockout! Join in!" Breakdown shouted.
"I'm not doing that again," the redhead said. "It was stupid before, and it's stupid now."
"Ah, the old camp song warms up my heart," The man said with a grin.
"Why are you closing the camp?" Megatron asked, coming forward.
And just like that, the smile was gone. "It was the woodsman," the man said, adjusting his hat.
"It must be those snobs at Camp Autobot, Sentinel," Breakdown said with a frown.
[I've heard about camp rivalry, but this is too much,] Soundwave signed, observing the burned down boat house.
"You sure know you stuff, handsome," the officer said, glancing at Soundwave, a smile on her face.
"Oh, I didn't say anything," Knockout said.
"I wasn't talking about you," the girl said, winking at Soundwave.
Judging by Soundwave's posture, he was surprised, and confused, at the comment.
"I'd suggest you guys get out of here before anything bad happens," the girl said as she got in her jeep and drove off.
"Somebody likes you," Knockout said with a grin. Soundwave tilted his masked head towards Knockout, his silent message clear: Shut up.
"I'm sorry Breakdown, but no campers means no camp," Sentinel said, laying a hand on Breakdown's shoulder. Starscream could feel his hope soaring. That meant no camping, and no stinky lakes.
A bus came down the dirt road and stopped. Everyone looked up at the sight of the bus with the words 'Camp Decepticon' written on it. The doors opened up, allowing five kids to get off. "Hey, where is everybody?" A girl with black and pink hair asked.
"Camp's cancelled. Didn't you get the message?" Sentinel asked.
"What message?" a girl asked, wearing a blue hoodie and blue shorts.
"The message that says welcome to Camp Decepticon," Breakdown interjected. "I'm Breakdown, your counselor, soon to be hero," Breakdown said.
"Nice to meet you!" the black haired girl exclaimed. "I'm Miko, and this is Jack and Raf."
"Sierra," the other girl said.
"I'm Vince," a boy with red hair said.
"Breakdown," Sentinel warned. "I don't think we should do this. Let's just get them back on the bus." As if on cue, the bus hastily drove out of camp. "Hey! You get back here!" Sentinel yelled, chasing after the fading bus.
"So what should we do? Horseback riding? No wait! I know, ziplining," Breakdown said as he skipped off.
"Sounds awesome!" Miko said running after him and dragging on the two boys.
"Sounds awful," Sierra said as Vince followed after her.
"I'm getting the feeling that Breakdown is forgetting something," Shockwave said.
"Like we have a mystery on our hands," Airachnid said, hands on her hips.
"That's it," Shockwave said as he, Airachnid, Soundwave, and Megatron walked over to the ziplining area.
"Well, all I'm thinking about is what for dinner. Knockout, why don't we go check for clues in the kitchen?" Starscream asked.
Meanwhile, Airachnid was trying to calm a frightened Raf who was afraid of heights. "You're alright; you're on solid ground," Airachnid said, her tone amused..
"Keep going Sierra. We're almost to the zipline," Shockwave said. Then he muttered under his breath. "This is completely illogical."
"What's a zipline? I'm just trying to get cell service," Sierra said.
Shockwave sighed. "Like I said. Illogical." (A/n there's a capital I, and two Ls instead of three)
At the top, Breakdown was hooking up Miko. "Know the key is to have-" Miko instantly jumped off, "-fun," Breakdown finished.
"Yeah, woo hoo!" Miko shrieked as she zipped by.
In the kitchen, Knockout was cooking some sort of chili. "Hmm, something is missing in my Five Alarm Chili," Knockout muttered to himself.
Starscream, feeling hungry, noticed peppers on the table and put one in his mouth. "Starscream!" Knockout shrieked. "Those are the hottest peppers on the planet!"
Starscream paused as his eyes turned into volcanoes and fire came out of his mouth, literally.
Knockout reached for the sink nozzle and sprayed water in his mouth, but Starscream just spit it all back out on Knockout. "Thanks Starscream," Knockout grumbled, shaking out his wet, red jacket.
"No problem," Starscream heaved.
"And that is how you make a campfire," Breakdown said kneeling over a small campfire. "Now you could make it bigger if you wanted to-" a cry of joy reached Breakdown's ears as he turned around to see that Miko had built a huge campfire. Breakdown sighed in disappointment. "Getting shown up by a kid," he grunted.
Knockout opened up the oven's hatch in the kitchen to see the fire was dying down. "I'm going to need more firewood if I want this to be done in time," he said.
Starscream was crying as he was chopping something. "Starscream, I don't know if you're crying because of the onions, or that the food won't get done," Knockout said with amusement.
In the woods Breakdown was examining some tracks. "If I'm correct, then those are moose tracks," he said.
"I don't think those are moose tracks," Miko said.
"Yeah, those look human," Raf said.
"Trust me, I know my tracks," Breakdown said. He quickly fell silent as they could all hear rustling. Breakdown put a finger to his lips as he walked quietly towards the rustling bushes.
Breakdown pulled the branches away to reveal Starscream with a bunch of wood in his hands.
"I don't think that's a moose," Airachnid teased.
"Uh huh," Breakdown huffed. "Anyway, come on guys, it's arts and crafts time," he said, leading them away from a confused Starscream. He stopped suddenly. "You know what. How about bird calls?"
Airachnid tilted her head. "Bird calls?" She glanced at the activities. "That's not on the list."
"It is now," Breakdown said. This was his chance to show off to the kids. But before he got the chance, a sharp, shrill bird call echoed throughout the woods. Everyone turned to see Soundwave lower his mask back down after he had whistled. Only a few seconds went by until a large falcon descended from the trees before landing on Soundwave's outstretched arm.
"Cool," Miko breathed.
[Meet Laserbeak] Soundwave signed, gesturing to the falcon.
Airachnid flipped her hair. "Wow, Soundwave. You're really in tune with nature." She gave him a wink.
Breakdown fumed. "Oh yeah? Well he's not the only one." To his embarrassment, only a wet whistle came out, unlike Soundwave's professional one. His face beet red, Breakdown considered burying himself alive, until the sound of thunder was heard.
Jack looked up at the clear sky. "Is it going to rain?"
"That's not thunder," Airachnid said. Just then, a herd of wild pigs came running towards them. Breakdown didn't summon any birds with his whistle; he summoned wild pigs.
Starscream stood up at the weird sound of small animals as they ran right behind him. He shrugged, thinking nothing of it.
"Yeah, Breakdown," Airachnid commented from her branch. "You are really in tune with nature too." Everyone, to escape the pigs, had clambered up in the trees. They all watched as the herd raced by below them.
Breakdown scowled but chose to not say anything, until Soundwave started gesturing down below. His movements were full of panic, causing the branch he and Airachnid were on to shake.
"What are you doing?" Airachnid yelped, clinging to her branch as it moved up and down. She glared at the masked man. "Do you want us to fall?"
"Hey, isn't that Shockwave?" Raf asked, pointing below.
Soundwave nodded urgently as they all watched the large human walk right towards the pigs. "Shockwave!" Airachnid screamed. "Look out! Pigs!"
Shockwave looked up in confusion, before spotting the running herd. He did nothing but stare, as if daring with his one eye for the pigs to trample him. The pigs seemed to get the idea and quickly broke off formation, going in a wide circle around him.
Breakdown blinked. "Uhhh, what just happened?"
"I think Shockwave had a staredown with the pigs," Airachnid commented.
Starscream started to walk away, picking up suitable branches. "Sure Knockout," Starscream muttered. "I'll stop working on dinner and get the wood. We wouldn't want you to damage your fragile skin." He stopped his rant when a rustling reached his ears. Starscream nearly shrieked until he saw it was just a moose. Starscream breathed a sigh of relief, watching as the moose leaped away...to reveal a large man, possibly taller than Megatron, wielding an axe.
Starscream backed away until the the man threw his axe into the tree near Starscream, who ducked out of the way. The man came towards him, causing Starscream to throw his pile of wood at the man, and run screaming back into the kitchen. All the self defense training with Megatron and Soundwave went completly out the window.
"Starscream, when I sent you to get wood, I didn't think you were going to bring back one at a time," Knockout said in annoyance.
Starscream disappeared and reappeared, hammering wood onto the door. "Woodsman…. Woodsman," Starscream stuttered in fright, his eyes flickering around fearfully. He grabbed a small spoon, holding it up as a shield. Soundwave would always tell, er, sign, that you could use anything as a weapon. Starscream once saw Soundwave beat Airachnid and her many brothers with nothing but a flashlight. Yeah, no problem. If Soundwave could do it, so could he.
Starscream gulped. Problem was, he was not Soundwave.
"Humph, well, if you're too scared, then I'm going to get wood myself," Knockout said as he walked towards the door and opened it to reveal a shadowy figure of a man outside the door.
"Woodsman!" Starscream screamed, throwing the spoon at the figure before falling into Knockout's arms.
"Saw the smoke, so I decided to bring some firewood," the man said as he stepped inside to reveal it to be Sentinel.
"Why thanks; dinner's almost ready," Knockout said dropping Starscream as Sentinel followed him. Starscream got up and looked outside and then hastily closed the door, his heart hammering in his chest.
In the dining area, everyone was seated as Knockout came in with a large pot. "I hope you're hungry, cause you're about to taste Knockout's Five Alarm Chili," he said as he started to pour the chili into the bowls.
Megatron took a bite out of it as his face started to burn red. "Spicy," was all Megatron could say.
Knockout poured some in Starscream's bowl as he picked up the bowl to gobble it down only to see that the chili burned a hole in the bowl.
While everyone minus Sierra laughed, the Woodsman was outside, watching them.
