I'm just now getting into G1, so please don't be mad at me if i portray a character wrong. If you can, try and tell me how i can improve on their characters and my grammar.
Rumble didn't know how he got here. One minute, he was kicking autobot skid plate, the next he was on the dance floor, on this side of the thin Plexiglas separating the humans…and the wolves. Behind his visor, his optics were no longer red, but a shade of yellow green. The girl in front of him was in perfect sync, feet moving to the beat of the blaring music that was so loud it could match Jazz's sonic blasts. The sky lights let in the glow of the quickly rising full moon. She grinned at him with gleaming fangs in her mouth. Frenzy looked over at them, a dark look on his face, as if fighting pain. Yet he was smiling. A girl, just like the one with himself, was also with Frenzy. The unison of the dance they were doing, the complete chaos of it all was what made it wonderful. The wildness, the feral ache to run into the night was overwhelming. Through their bond, Soundwave was clearly confused, not knowing the secret that his twin creations now held. All around them, the thought to be humans began taking on a new form, their faces stretching, bones breaking and reforming. He, too, began to change his shape. His form was unlike any other. The metal armor becoming thicker, yet slimmer. What wasn't covered in armor was now covered in soft, black fur. Slowly, and painfully, he became something worse than a decepticon. He became….a monster.
FULL MOON, LAST MONTH:
''I don't see why we had to do this mission. I mean, hadn't it been Starscream's mission in the first place?'' Frenzy complained, sitting down on a boulder.
''Yeah, but then Starscream gave the mission to us, remember?'' Rumble replied back boredly.
''Stupid slagger, never wants to do work himself and always puts it off on someone else. Yet he still gets credit for it!'' Frenzy exclaimed, his anger rising. Rumble sighed. It was going to be a long night. Starscream was supposed to come to this area and scout for an oil deposit. So far, they'd found nothing. Suddenly, Rumble and Frenzy both heard something that would haunt them until they deactivated. A bone chilling, two tone howl echoed across the plain. They shivered involuntarily.
''I-I'm sure it was just a coyote'' Frenzy said shakily. Rumble nodded, hoping that as well. If there was one thing they'd learned being on this planet, weak does not mean not strong. Most of the fleshies were scared and pathetic, but there were some larger creatures that liked to bat them around like, to borrow a human term, ragdolls. Creatures like bears, cougars, wolves, coyotes. Usually, they pestered them but were easily overcome. But it still left an imprint on you. Going back to digging to find the oil, Frenzy spoke up again.
''Why aren't we using our pile drivers? Wouldn't that just open up the ground and we could see the oil?''
''Yeah, but Starscream said we couldn't, remember? I think he wanted us gone for a few days.''
''Yeah, that sounds about right''
The stopped digging when they heard something scratching at the edges of the lights they had rigged. Right at the edge too, so they couldn't see anything. It stopped, so they returned to digging.
''Yeesh, we're awfully jumpy today, aren't we?'' Rumble asked. Frenzy nodded. They heard a snarl. Spinning towards the sound, Rumble scanned for any organic heat signatures. Oh, he saw one all right, but it wasn't what he'd been expecting. It was a human making all those sounds.
''Come on bro', let's take that stupid fleshy out!'' he declared. Frenzy was more than happy to comply. But, if Rumble had paid closer attention to his scanners before deeming it human, he would have quickly realized it was not in fact human. Only half human. They charged through the darkness, but all they saw was a wolf's head above the bushes, smelling the air.
''Stupid wolf, where'd the human go?'' Rumble growled.
''Uh, bro, look'' Frenzy said shakily. Rumble looked up to see the wolf right in the clearing, staring at them on its hind legs, front legs at its side with fingers. It looked like a humanoid wolf.
''What is-''
''-that thing?'' they finished each other's sentence. The wolf let out a roar that resulted in saliva flying out its mouth. They quickly spun around and ran back through the woods to the plains. Or, they would have, had they made it that far. Looking back, the wolf was using its front legs and running on them, tail wavering behind it. Rumble yelped as his foot got lodged under a root and he crashed onto the ground. The wolf pounced on him and sunk its teeth into his side, fangs puncturing clean through his armor and into the circuitry below it.
''It's trying to eat me!'' Rumble screamed. Frenzy grabbed a log and tried to beat the wolf off of his brother, but the wolf spun around and sunk fangs into his arm. Rumble managed to grab a large rock and jammed it into the wolf's chest. The wolf shrieked. Only, it was human. It sounded like the shriek of a human woman. It ran off into the woods, leaving the two brothers to bleed. Soundwave was picking up their signals of pain and distress. He immediately sent Ravage to find them and check on them. When Ravage arrived, he instantly checked them over, and asked, telepathically of course, what had happened?
''Stupid fleshy mutt attacked us!''
''You…let an organic do this extensive of damage to you?''
''Not on purpose! Freaking thing was smart!'' Rumble yelled.
''And strong'' Frenzy added. Ravage finally broke the root Rumble's foot was lodged in. Rumble stood up, and almost immediately fell over. His side, though damaged the worst, was almost markless, only two fang holes in the armor. It still hurt though. Heading back to base, they were instantly greeted with an angry Seeker who was wondering why they came back without finishing the mission.
''They were injured'' Ravage defended them.
''I don't care! They're still functioning, send them back out there!'' he yelled. Against there wills, they were forced to go back to the plains and finish the mission. They felt sick though, like they had what the humans called the Flu. They continued though, knowing if they took a break they'd be out there even longer. They dug, and dug, and dug… Finally, Rumble's shovel plowed into something black and oozing.
''Yes! We found it!'' he exclaimed weakly. the others, they went back to base. As soon as they were in soundwave's quarters, they immediately fell over into recharge, exhausted.
I woke up and rubbed my head tiredly. My systems were slowly rebooting, and I rubbed my side. Nothing was even there. I wondered if last night had even happened, until I realized we were still caked in mud. Soundwave and the other cassettes were gone, leaving me and Frenzy in the room to sleep. Starscream walked in and grabbed us.
''Bout time you two woke up! I've got a job for you!''
''Frenzy, is it just me or does he seem twice as loud and annoying as usual?''
''He seems twice as loud and annoying as usual''
''Will you tone your voice down? We're used to you screaming any other time, but Yeesh, it's like you thought we couldn't. Why'd you turn your volume up?''
He only looked at us strange.
''This is the way I normally talk'' he said. That's when I realized everything seemed louder. The computers, the simple chatter, I could even hear Ravage's paws clink silently as he walked by. He spun around and looked at us and smelled the air, and I smelled the air as well.
Huh, that's weird; I've never actually smelled the air before…I regret doing it I thought to myself as a million smells entered my nose. Apparently Frenzy was doing the same thing as me, because he scrunched his nose up. Starscream plopped us on a computer console.
''Something's wrong with this computer, but it's behind the computer, where I can't reach. Make yourselves useful and find out what's wrong''. I glared at him, but we both crept behind the console, and it was dark behind it. My vision was flooded with yellow, like I was seeing through yellow glasses. Walking forwards, I heard it first, and then saw it. A sparking wire had broken loose from the console. Walking over to it, a grabbed it and tried to reconnect it to the other wire. I failed…miserably. Frenzy yelled for Starscream to unplug it and the electricity stopped lighting me up like a bulb and gave me time to reconnect vital wires. Wrapping it with electrical tape that I had handy (in case the perfect opportunity for a tape involved prank showed up), I told Starscream to plug it back in. He told us we could come out.
''Well, I don't know how you did it, but you fixed it on your own'' he praised us. I beamed. It was hard to get Starscream to approve of anything someone else did. Going on about our business, we were met by so many different sights and smells. I never stopped to wonder why I suddenly had this new uncanny ability to sense things. And I wouldn't for a while.
I looked over at Rumble and wondered what was going through his head. I wonder if he's wondering about these interesting abilities we have. I know I was, but I didn't put a lot of thought into it.
''Hey Rumble, wanna race?''
''You're on!'' I said. We suddenly took off, neck and neck. The world around us looked fuzzy and fake. We ran by everyone, dodging quickly and ran all the way back to soundwave's quarters. When there, we discovered the other cassettes were there, as well as Soundwave. When slammed on the brakes (not literally of course. We're cassettes) and smiled. Soundwave seemed less than enthusiastic, as expected.
''Rumble, Frenzy: Where were you located?'' he droned.
''Here, there, everywhere'' we said. He seemed to sense the new boost of senses in us as well, because he looked us over before nodding. He transformed into his tape deck form and we all transformed as well, all going to sleep in that mode. It was a good, long night.
Sarah looked off the side of the cliff into the water, not seeing anything but knowing they were there.
''Soon, Pups, soon. You will know what has happened to you'' she said before stalking into the woods.
