Scattershot, as usual, was on the controls again, fixing some bugs on the computer mainframe. When he was almost finished, he heard a clang in the room. He stopped and looked back to see if anyone was there. Scary thing is no one was there.
"Hmm…must be my imagination" with that Scattershot kept working but then heard the clang again. He got up on his feet and was now in battle mode.
"W-who's there? S-show yourself!" He was terrified, of course. He cursed himself from watching those horror movies with Bud. Now he knows how Coby felt, it must be terrifying which he is right now.
Scattershot was snap back to reality as he heard another clang. He panicked as he shouted again, "W-who's there? I-I have a powerful laser canon and I'm not afraid to use it so just show yourself!"
There was now silence, utter complete freezing silence. He waited for a few moments before he lowered his gun. There was no clang sounds anymore, just complete silence. He was alone again.
"…Okay…it is might just be my imagination-"
"BOO!" shouted a weird creature. He was close as a human being but not that close. This weird human creature looked paler, completely white. He was wearing dark clothing and a cark black cape. What scared Scattershot the most were his big pointy sharp fangs. He couldn't move, he couldn't even fire, he could only watch in terror and scream.
"V-V-VAMPIRE! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Scattershot stumbles on the floor when he saw a bright green light to his left. Scattershot dared himself to see what it was revealing another weird human creature. It was a witch with a big nose and her eyes were red.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Scattershot jumps to his feet and starts running when he tripped. He felt his arm being poke, bravely, he turns to see what it was which freaked him out even more. Whatever it was, it had horns, white hair, big yellow sharp teeth, and deep red skin carrying a black trident. He knew all too well, what it was.
"D-D-D-DEMON!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Scattershot then runs repeatedly tumbles and his back hit the entrance. It seems to be lock.
He couldn't move anymore, there was no escape; he has to accept his fate. He watched fearfully as the three creatures walks up to him in a creepy way, which made Scattershot even more scared than ever. He closed his eyes ready for death when he heard a snicker. He opens his eyes to see the creatures laughing.
'Wait! They're laughing? But why…oh no' Scattershot thought of the worst. "BUD COBY! LORI!"
Yes, it was just costumes as Coby and Lori took off their masks and Bud took his fangs. They were satisfied that they managed to scare Scattershot to death.
"You guys that was not funny! I thought I was really gonna die!" shouted Scattershot. "Oh well, I'm glad it was just a trick than reality"
"Sorry Scattershot, we just couldn't resist," said Lori.
"So why'd you guys scare me all of the sudden, and what's with the outfits?" Scattershot asked.
"It's Halloween!" said Bud as he made a scary face, which wasn't really that scary anymore.
Scattershot looked at them confused of the word, "Halloween?"
"Yeah, Halloween" said Coby.
"No, what I mean is what is Halloween?" Scattershot asked.
"I'll tell you that!" said Jolt, who appeared out of nowhere along with Six-speed and Reverb.
"AAHH! Jolt! Don't do that!"
"Sorry, now about Halloween! It is the time of festival, which occurs once every year only at night when humans get to dressed up into the most scariest or supernatural creatures of any sort of kinds!"
"Huh, that's it?"
"Not quite, you see, when human children goes through door to door on each house, they are rewarded candy. Candy is a really good and sweet filling treats!"
"So Halloween is when you dress up into a monster and get candies?"
"But wait there's more, it's also the night where magic is stronger! In different places, there are real witches that casts curses and spells to prolong their fates and continues their legacy secretly!"
"Wow! That's amazing!"
"Jolt, you know that kind of information is hardly believable anymore. There's no such thing as magic," said Lori.
"Why isn't there magic anymore?" Jolt asked.
"Well, it's outdated, there has to be proof"
"Well anyways, you kids gave me quite the scare," said Scattershot.
Coby laughed and the others gave him a funny look, what was he laughing about.
"Coby?" Bud calls out his name.
"Sorry Bud, but this just reminded me of a story"
"Oh, what story? Tell us!" Jolt said.
"Well, my father once told me a story about three kids that completely scared this other kid half to death. It was stormy that night and it caused a black out."
In an unpredictable coincidence, the lights turned off due to the storm outside. They all panicked extremely.
"What happened?" Jolt asked.
"It's just what Coby said… a blackout caused by the storm outside," said Scattershot as he tried not to panic but to no vain.
"W-what happened next, C-Coby?" Bud silently asked.
Coby was now buckling his knees, he was so terrified but answered anyways, "And then…three huge monsters…the same size as Optimus…comes in…to take us to the underworld…"
"W-what are they called?" they all asked.
"They were called…The Egimos"
Lori then says, "No way, there is no such thing! There is no such thing! Got it? I'ts all coincidence!"
Suddenly the entrance door opened and they slowly turned and looked at whoever entered. All they saw were three pairs of glowing eyes and without any hesitation, they screamed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! EGIMOS!!!"
The three giants are now the ones screaming, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
(Altogether now) "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA AHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Landmine was laughing his butt off.
The lights were back on again, thankfully. Everyone was laughing and Scatter with the others felt so humiliated.
"Jetfire! Tell me the story again! One more time! AHAHAHAHA!" said Landmine.
"No!"
Vectorprime then enters the room and discovered Override, Overhaul, Landmine, and RedAlert were laughing so hard.
"What's with all the commotion?"
"If you really must know, AHAHA! There was a minor blackout, and Optimus, Hotshot, and Jetfire managed to scare the sparks out of Scattershot, the humans, and the minicons! We all came running after they screamed so loud, I thought there would be an avalanche!" said Override as she started laughing again.
"Sorry, Optimus" said Scattershot.
"No, no, no, it's fine. We're sorry as well; we didn't mean to scare you all like that. By the way, kids, what's with the outfits?" Optimus asked, really wanting to change the subject to stop his comrades from death of laughter if it's possible for robots.
Once again, they explained to them what Halloween is.
"Really? That sounds like fun!" said Hotshot.
"Hey Optimus, we could go to the city and tell the humans that we're just wearing a costume!"
"Great idea, Jetfire!"
"Huh? N-No wait! I'm sorry sir, I was just kidding!"
…
"Well, we are a bit tall"
All of them laughed again and those who didn't know, this happened once before and it's still funny.
Suddenly, there was an alarm; Scattershot quickly went to the controls.
"Is it Decepticons?" RedAlert asked.
"Yup, it's them alright. Starscream and Thundercracker, I wonder why it's always them two. Anyways, they're heading out next to a museum that's located in the outskirts of town" said Scattershot.
"Autobots! Roll out!" Optimus ordered and they go.
"What are we doing here anyway Starscream?" Thundercracker asked. "There ain't no cyberkey or the omega lock here!"
"Quiet, how would you know if it weren't here?"
"Because…I don't know…"
Suddenly the ground shook and they were blast by missiles, (un)fortunately, it missed.
"What the slag was that?!" Thundercracker said.
"Who dares to interfere with us?" shouted Starscream.
"I'll give you one hint!" the voice shouted as he fired at them again.
"Optimus Prime!" shouted both Thundercracker and Starscream.
"Good guess," said Optimus as he transformed. The rest than came and transformed.
"Cyberkey Power!" shouted Thundercracker as he transformed and flies to the sky, followed by Jetfire.
Jetfire, Vector, and Optimus stayed to battle both Starscream and Thundercracker while the rest heads off to the museum to protect it. The battle went on but they were battling extremely close to a swamp. When Starscream has activated his cyber key, he managed to toss Optimus to the swamp.
"Optimus!" shouted Jetfire whom saw the attack but then gets hit by Thundercracker unexpectedly.
"Focus here!" shouted Thundercracker.
Optimus stands up and says, "Are you looking for the omega lock again Starscream?"
"I will find it Prime but I have to finish you off first!" said Starscream.
Optimus then activates his cyber key was now in battle mode, "Go ahead and try, I dare you"
Suddenly a loud thunder was heard and everyone stopped on their ground. It wasn't unusual but it is when it's very loud. For no reason, Vector does a scanning around the perimeter, he had a feeling that something was wrong, something terribly wrong.
"Jetfire, land!" Optimus ordered.
"Roger that!"
"Hey! What's so scary about a lightning?" Because of that, a small lightning hits Thundercracker. Fortunately for him, it missed.
"AAAAHHH! I'm landing!" said Thundercracker as he dove to the ground and transformed.
After Vector Prime finished the scan, his system picked up something in the swamp that seems so unusual but whatever it was, it's dangerous and Optimus is in it.
"Now where were we, Prime?" Starscream as he raised his double armed sword. He charged over to Optimus but then he used his cyberkey to blast Starscream farther back.
"Optimus! Get out of that swamp now!" shouted Vector Prime. Optimus looks back at him with a confused look, "what?"
"Get out, now!"
Suddenly there was a thunder and a huge lightning bolt came down and hit the swampy lake. The lake starts glowing with bright white light then it starts to consume Optimus.
"W-what is this?" Optimus asked himself as he sees his hand engulfed with a white solar flare. It was amazing at first but suddenly he felt this jolt of pain and he felt his circuits going haywire. It was as if something is inside his body, destroying everything in its path. Soon on, a multiple of pain kept coming. Optimus fell on his knees and let out a cry.
"OPTIMUS!" shouted Jetfire and Vector Prime as they helplessly watch the leader screaming in agony as the light shines brighter.
"OPTIMUS!" shouted Hotshot and Override as they arrived and saw the commotion.
Hotshot then drives over to Optimus to save him but then he was hold back by Jetfire and Vector Prime.
"LET ME GO!" shouted Hotshot as he struggles out of their grip. "OPTIMUS! WE NEED TO HELP HIM!"
"HOTSHOT! STOP! You're going to get yourself killed!" shouted Jetfire.
The bright white flare then made a colossal shining light that blinded everyone. In a matter of minutes, it died down. Optimus and the swamp are nowhere to be seen. Hotshot fell on his knees. Starscream and Thundercracker hesitate before retreating through the warp hole. Override, Vector Prime, and Jetfire were full of disbelief and shock. There was a moment of silence before the rain starts to fall.
