Fan fiction Transformers: Cruel and Quintessential Punishment
It is year 2024, the great wars have ended fully, the Cybertronians are at peace. The treaty that will ensure peace between autobots and decepticons has signed by both of them. Sentinel Prime is the head of the new peacekeeping force. He and his noble peacekeeping guardians of justice would enforce the laws on Cybertron. They keep all citizens safe, both autobot and decepticons. They would make sure the peace is kept between the factions, no matter what or how or who starts it. There hasn't been hardly any incidents since the peace treaty had been signed. It was working so far. The peace on Cybertron will last. Sentinel Prime looked at the clock tower in the middle of the Cybertronian peace patrol main station. It was time to inspect the troop. This was Sentinel Prime's favorite time of the day.
There were no clowns like there was during the war, such as Bumblebee and Bulkhead. The rows of well-trained, discipled, peace keeping officers stood in line waiting for Sentinel Prime to inspect. The first recruit, the second one, and all of them were excellent. Sentinel Prime was proud of them, so proud, he smiled and even shred a tear due to sheer contentment. He smiled.
"You boys, make me proud !" Sentinel Prime answered with glee. He turned to his next in command, Jazz.
"Tell these soldiers to carry on." He left Jazz in charge.
Sentinel Prime walked into the peace keeping center to check to see if everything was fine. The officers there were monitoring the screens looking for evidence that would derail the peace between autobots and decepticons. The screens chose random cameras throughout Cybertron for security reasons. One screen showed a couple of autobot protoforms playing with each other a game of tag. Another screen showed some autobot protoforms playing in the park with some decepticon protoforms. The next screen showed decepticon little ones playing hopscotch and jump frogs. They looked so cute jumping off each other. This annoyed Sentinel Prime a bit since he didn't like decepticons and didn't think they were cute.
The next four screens were far more interesting. They actually showed incidents that were troubles brewing against peace on Cybertron. One screen showed Soundwave's prodigies, Frenzy and Rumble yelling at some seeker cadets. Rumble threatened the young seekers.
" Wouldn't dream of hurting you, little crybaby?
"Yeah,WAAAA!" Frenzy quipped.
"I can't wait till you grow up so I can clobber you!" sassed Stealth Shadow.
Another one showed two autobot femmes stealing an expensive piece of Cybertronian technology off the tables for the festivals in a Cybertronian marketplace. It was a years' clearance sale and all the merchandise was half price for the Cybertronian independence holiday. This holiday celebrated the independence of all Cybertronian from their masters, the Quintessons, evil creators with a many faced head and mechanical tentacles. In a few days, Cybertronians would be celebrating their new year. It was a time to forget the past, remember the good, shun the bad, renew hopes in the best of Cybertron, and continue on with the peace.
"Peace is very delicate." Sentinel Prime told the monitor operators, " We must ensure safety for all as well as maintain the peace."
The next camera was in a Cybertronian day care center showing babysitters with their young chargers. One area was the preschool care level where young protoforms play with interactive games with each other. Another showed an area where some new protoforms were interacting with each other. They were new models of autobots and decepticons. Sentinel Prime watched closely and totally disgusted at what he saw. These creatures were like what happened to Elite-one. They were robots that had organic materials. They could turn themselves into beasts. Horrible ugly little beasts, He knew what they were called: Maximals and Predacons. The Maximals were the autobots and the Predacons were decepticons. He disgustingly watched as an ugly little rodent beast scurry on the nursery mat.
"Squeak" Its ugly head went.
It climbed up the walls. It jumped around playfully giggling . It was bald naked, practically blind with two pointed ears, sharp buck teeth, two sets of small whiskers on its pointed nose and a small coiled wrapped tail. Its little paws had tiny claws, which the little monster use to tear the nursery carpet.
" Squeak, Squeaky." The horrible little squeaky thing went. "Squeaky, Squeaky! It wouldn't stop. " Squeaky, Squeak. Squeak, Squeak ."
It hung on the nursery guard rail. It ran around on all four chasing its long stringing tail. The horrible Squeaky Squeak couldn't stop jumping, around, scurry, tearing, and climbing on things. The nursery was covered with torn paper. The furniture had scratches everywhere. The cribs' bedding were ripped to shred. The thing even managed to crawl up the wall where the security camera was. It smiled its toothy wide smile in front of the camera. Its whole mouth was slobbering over the camera .
"Yhew!" grossed out Sentinel Prime moaned, "What is that horrible thing?
"It is a maximal protoform , sir."
"Gross!" Sentinel Prime said sicken.
"It transforms itself into a baby animal."
"I know that." Sentinel Prime looked gross out at its bright dark blue eyes. "Eeeww.. I can't imagine what predacon protoform looks like ?"
Right at that moment, the nursery's rail door opened. A nursebot dropped off a young protoform into the nursery. It was different from the other one. Its eyes were shiny flaming red. Its mother borg crooned at it as the nurse shut the rail gate.
"Whose Mommie's little warrior?"
The predacon opened his mouth with a slobbering smile as it cooed, spittle ran down its little mouth to its chin. Its whole mouth was full of spit. It had a blue face, worn a bronze helmet, had dark markings over its unusual brown legs and all over its tan body and arms. Its little hands were claw like as a large raptor bird. It clinched his hands together as an infant and starting, cawing like a bird, then crying. On the predacon's chest was a lizard's head with slanged, beading, shifting, yellow eyes. It had two heads as one of those monstrous headmasters did.
"Gasp." Sentinel Prime said horrified.
The terrible squeaky, squeak turned to see all this, he immediately squealed with delight at having a playmate as he scurried down the wall.
"Squeaky, squeak." It went.
The Squeaky Squeak greeted the young predacon squeaky. It tasted its metal boots, and claws with mouth like a human infant would much to the dismay of the little dinobot. The dinobot cried out in sheer agony at the sigh of the rat thing. The little predacon checked to see if it had all its fingers on its hand. It wriggled them around to feel them, but the horrible squeaky squeak laid its head-on the predacon's head and puts its little claws on its neck as it hugged its new friend. The Squeaky squeak kept on squeaky in its high rat-like voice while predacon protoform showed its displeasure.
Sentinel Prime couldn't stand watching as he turn away."Eeew !"
The last screen was inside a building being used as a headquarters for this year, Independence celebration. Cybertronians were busy decorating metal floors. Autobots were dressing up as heroic autobots and fierce deceptions who fought bravely against Quintessons as Sentinel Prime and his guards watched. They noticed some of the autobots were Quintessons pretending to be autobots being Quintessons. They were dolling up to be in the parade as the evil masters that Cybertronina had revolt against.
" How can we defend Cybertron from enemies if there are no enemies? Sentinel Prime commented about the scene much to the surprised of his underlings. One of the guards ordered more surveillance of Quintessons who were participating in the celebrations. The Quintessons were hiding things inside the floats and smiling while showing their wrathful faces.
"Move the cameras elsewhere." Sentinel Prime ordered. The camera caught a scene where it looked like two Cybertronians were about to engage in fighting each other. One was a large, red-eyed, gray, metal deception and the other was an even bigger red and blue autobot.
"Optimus Prime and Megatron !" gasped Sentinel Prime, "Now I can get back at both of them."
The guards look at him.
" I mean.. we must stop this fight for the sake of peace." Sentinel Prime wasted no time in his pursuit of peace. Optimus Prime and Megatron were shouting at each other.
"Why are you wasting time on your uneventful defeat, Prime ?
"Don't you mean yours?"
"What makes you believe that?"
A loud siren was heard overhead. "Stop, you are under arrest !"
"See what I mean." Optimus Prime smiled.
"You shall pay for this, Optimus Prime." Sentinel Prime said before Megatron could speak.
"AAA!" Megatron muttered surprised.
" For what? Optimus Prime asked.
"For disturbing the peace, fighting with a deception and insubordination, what else ? " Sentinel Prime charged.
" We are at war with the decepticons, especially with Megatron, Remember." Optimus Prime replied.
"Not anymore, the decepticons and autobots have agreed to make peace. Cybertron is at peace. We signed a peace treaty." Sentinel Prime boasted.
"Peace Treaty!" Both Optimus Prime and Megatron exclaimed in disbelief.
"How and at what cost?" Optimus Prime asked.
"Yes, both decepticons and autobots are at peace." Sentinel Prime smiled as he was taking credit for it.
"Oh, that's how?" Optimus Prime reacted.
"Who sign it, Shockwave, Starscream, tell me the names of decepticons who sign it? I am Megatron. I do not sign treaties with autobots, with any autobots, you or Optimus Prime."
"Tell me what happened and what I miss when I was away, Sentinel Prime?"
"A lot. Optimus Prime, the decepticon council and the autobot council both agreed that this futile violence, war, and destruction was pointless so they sign peace treaty."
"A peace treaty, you say!" Optimus Prime replied.
"Yes, Optimus." Sentinel Prime answered.
"Wonderful." Megatron snapped, "Those treacherous cowards.,… I'll show them what I will do with their peace treaty!" He yelled. "How dare they sign it?
"What is done is done, Megatron. Tell me, Sentinel Prime, you are in charge of keeping order and peace on Cybertron?"
"Yes, I am. Now, you and Megatron are under arrest and in my custody." Sentinel Prime gloated.
"I like you to try putting me into Statis cuffs!" threatened the Mighty Megatron.
It was sooner done than said. Sentinel Prime never had been so satisfied and pleased with himself that he had arrested both Optimus Prime and Megatron at the same time. They were going to put them in jail, tried, and then sentence them in a military style court. It was too easy.
Optimus Prime couldn't believe he was sentenced to community service much less arrested and charge by his fellow autobots. Thank goodness, Ultra Magnus had spoken for him, but why had the judge given him and Megatron the same sentence. Why did the Cybertronians allow Sentinel Prime to be judge and jury ? He didn't deserve this. Megatron was the real criminal. Why did he get the same justice? There is no justice in Cybertron. How is it possible to have peace? Megatron was upset, too. He was arrested by that fool, Sentinel Prime, charged with Optimus Prime, of all autobots, and sentence along with him to community service for fighting in public.
Megatron threatened when Sentinel Prime sentenced him to community service. "I shall show you community service."
"What kind of community service should you do and how many hours of it?" sneered Sentinel Prime pleased with himself.
He summoned the court bailiff to show some earth footage. The screen showed on old man dressed in red being tormented by little, fat, pointed-eared men in green suits.
"Shouldn't you punishing Megatron more severely than me? After all, he is a deception." Optimus Prime reminded Sentinel Prime.
"Not anymore, all Cybertronians are now equal. It is only fair to give lawbreakers the same punishment for the same crime."
The screen now showed the old man sitting down in a chair with human children screaming at him, pulling his beard, and mocking him by saying, "Ho, HO, HO!"
"How interesting. " chuckled Sentinel Prime. "Ho, Ho Ho! I have found what you two can do for the community."
"Say Ho, ho, Ho?" someone in the court said.
Either Optimus Prime or Megatron couldn't believe what had just happened. They were sitting on throne-like chairs in front of earth based technology that took pictures.
"What are you planning to do ?" Megatron questioned.
"It is quite simple. I will have one of my guards or Cybertronian citizens take either you or Optimus Prime's picture. Put it on a screen showing you or him kneeling, sitting or on the floor laid down."
"Why?" Optimus Prime asked.
" It is your punishment. Didn't you see the old human dressed in red sitting with human children? His name is Santa Claus, St. Nick, and Kris Kringle. He gives good humans presents on Christmas Day, and coal or nothing for naughty ones." Sentinel Prime told his prisoners.
"What's wrong with coal?" Megatron complained, "It provides fuel, heat, and food for humans."
"Humans don't eat coal, Megatron." Optimus Prime corrected.
"They'll eat it and dirt, too when I get through with them."
"Humans don't need energon like we do so why do they eat coal?" Sentinel Prime wondered.
"They don't eat coal. They used it to keep warm, to cook, and to fuel for their homes, factories, and trains!" Optimus Prime explained.
"It doesn't matter since you are going to take pictures with Cybertronian protoforms showing your defeat at their hands." Sentinel Prime reminded them.
"Defeat, what defeat?" Optimus Prime asked.
"Defeat! I have not been defeated by you, or Optimus Prime or anyone!" shouted Megatron defiantly.
"Oh, but you have. What better way to show it by having you pose with autobot and decepticon protoforms." Sentinel Prime smiled.
Decepticon protoforms?" Optimus Prime questioned.
"Yes, the decepticons want their children to pose with you as well as Megatron. "Sentinel Prime smiled triumphed.
