I hope you guys enjoy this, I know i'm having a ball trying to write this. There are times I'm trying to find time to work on this, being in College. There is a small request i'd like to make. If you like it, let me know, if you don't like it, let me know. ^^ I would like to know how i'm doing and work on improvements and/ or keep you guys entertained. Please review!
Other than that! Sit back and enjoy the story!!
It's amazing…you'd think after millions of years the little guys would have been long since forgotten about by now. I was only in training camp when the Autobots helped those peewees off of Cybertron through the warp gate they went through.
No one ever saw them again…Not till now…
Not long ago we Autobots and those jerks of Decepticons got a Minicon signal from a planet called….E-Arth….whatever, moving on!
My partner and I have just received word from a veteran that our assistance is needed, I was sure that only my partner would go…but turns out there were orders to let me tag along…
It's scary…going through this warp gate…once we're there…there's no turning back
"…Hey…"
"mm?"
"Are you…sure this is a good idea?"
He looks at me with steady optics. "…Good or bad decision, they're orders…Now common"
Once he steps through the gate I shake…Well… it's now or never…
I take the step in and start a scan…that's an interesting vehicle! I land, and I notice that my partner has already done the same…
"Transform! Wait up!" My tires squeal, trying to keep up with this show-off.
Once we get to our destination, I notice my partner transforms and motions me to get behind cover. As I transform and do as he says I pause. Below us is the Autobot team in confrontation with those sleazy cons. One of them with a huge optic and a normal optic has a Minicon panel and is waving it around.
"How arrogant" I mutter.
"Arrogance and Pride…a tragic combination" My partner mutters, aiming with his sharpshooting rifle. "They tend to cause a bot to make mistakes…like this…"
BAM!
******
"Who's the new guy?"
"A Decepticon?"
"That's Blurr, and he's a bit of a hot dog"
"So that's who it is"
The bot known as Blurr transformed it mid air, and caught the Minicon panel with style. The car behind him rode up and transformed next to him, wobbling a bit to gain her bearings.
"Is that a femme?" The orange bot known as Smokescreen blinked his optics as the girl bot watched as the Minicon panel activated in the palm of her partner's hand. It ended up being a blue little racecar Minicon, who landed on Blurr's shoulder, choosing his Autobot.
"That?...Ah…That is Snow-Lilly. She's a recent graduate, newbie lieutenant, and Blurr's partner. She's here as back up." Scavenger looked towards Smokescreen. "She's still got Rookie Spunk"
"A Rookie? Why would a rookie be on earth?"
"Good question, Hotshot" Scavenger muttered.
Hotshot paused and cleared his throat slightly.
Optimus looked up and smiled behind his faceplate. "Good job Blurr, Snow-Lilly. You've saved a Minicon from Decepticon control" he praised. Blurr landed on the ground and looked to the side, optic narrowing. Who did this Minicon think he was? He shoulder was NOT a chair. Reaching for the Minicon, he attempted to get him off.
"Mind telling me what I'm supposed to be doing with this Minicon?" Blurr growled lowly.
Snow-Lilly looked up from studying her purple armor glimmer from the hot sun and looked towards the sniper. A small smile came to her face. "He's so cute" she said softly.
Optimus looked to the mech, who didn't seem thrilled about this Minicon. "He says his name is Incinerator." The Autobot leader nodded to the Minicon. "And he's chosen you as his partner"
"Already got one" Blur growled lowly, frowning behind his own mask. "And it's a pain as it is"
Hotshot walked over and gave a warm smile to the new comrades. It would be good to have more reinforcement from those jerks of cons. Now they over powered them for sure! "How's it goin'?" he asked, offering his hand for a shake.
Snow-Lilly looked towards the bot, But Blurr took no interest in him. Seeing the offered hand, the femme began to reach for it shyly. The yellow bot flashed a grin at her. "I'm Hotsh-"
His greeting was cut off when Blurr grabbed Snow-Lilly's wrist and took her with him to meet Scavenger. The femme gasped with some surprise, but she submitted and followed his lead. Scavenger watched them approach and looked pointedly at Blurr.
"You've raised your skills" he commented the sniper.
"I'm flattered you noticed" Blurr said sarcastically at the instructor. Snow-Lilly watched the conversation and then looked around…she was surrounded by mechs yet again…Oh when would it end? Snow-Lilly paused, noticing the gaze of Optimus seemed to be on Blurr and herself. Slowly the purple femme tried to make herself smaller and hid as best as she could behind Blurr.
Why is he staring at me…surely in the three cycles that I've been here I haven't done anything wrong…
"Alright Autobots" Optimus nodded towards his troops. "Back to base"
*****
Warping is weird feeling…it's like being at two places at once while your body feels like it's going to pieces…a rush of everything is around you…you can literally see yourself and the two places you're at.
Why Am I in this mess? Couldn't I have just stayed at Cybertron?
*****
"Nice goin!"
"Good job"
"So where are they?"
Snow-Lilly's thoughts were interrupted by the voices of unknown sources. Who was speaking? The femme's optics looked around. There was no one there but the team, now at the Autobot base. It seemed dark in the room except for the actual gate itself…huh?
The purple femme blinked and looked down at a set of ten eyes staring directly at her…She tensed and snuck behind Blurr slightly. What were those things?
"Kids meet our new team-mates" Optimus announced to the creatures. "I'm sure you were watching on the monitors and saw that save. Their names are Blurr and Snow-Lilly."
Kids? They were smaller than Sparklings!! Snow-Lilly looked to Blurr lightly. "You think they bite?" she murmured lightly. No sooner had she asked that question, one of the creatures had approached and all were either introducing themselves or praising Blurr for the stunt he had pulled earlier.
Snow-Lilly had to admit… these things were cute.
"The humans are our friends" Optimus' voice interrupted Snow's thoughts. The femme looked to the leader hesitantly. Humans? Is that what they were called?
"They're our good friends" he continued," and have been very valuable to us"
Snow-Lilly looked from Optimus to the kids and a small smile came to her face. "They have spunk" she said softly. "They're so cute, aren't they B-" her words were cut off as Blurr turned and walked away, with little to no interest to what the femme had just said.
Snow-Lilly paused for a second and stood up quickly upon the realization that her partner was leaving the room. She was NOT going to be left alone. She gave a quick glance to the kids. "N-Nice to meet yah" She said softly, then quickly ran to catch up with Blurr.
Both the group of kids and the Autobots were left standing, watching the duo leave into the depths of the base. That was the briefest meeting ever to happen…
"…Well that's done and over with. Hotshot, your late for training" Scavenger looked to the young bot with anticipation. Hotshot looked over quickly. "Huh?! But you're not even in the training area either!"
"Rule 1, Be in the room before the teacher, or else you're late" Scavenger crossed his arms.
"Oh for crying out loud" Hotshot turned and ran to the training room quickly.
*****
"You idiot! How could you have lost it?! If I find out that Minicon was the last to form the Sky boom shield, then you will NEVER set foot in my base again!" Megatron growled to his most loyal soldier, aiming the sword known as the Star Saber just inches away from Demolisher's throat.
"P-please Megatron don't banish me!" Demolisher begged, trying his best to keep his cool by adding some sugar of his own. "I'll make it up to you somehow; I mean I'm your most dedicated servant! Never questioning your authority, and never intentionally doing anything to harm you, sir"
"Yeah…Intentionally" A voice chuckled lowly from outside of ranks.
The Decepticons were quick to respond with idiot looks and readying their weapons. "Who's there?" Sideways asked, preparing his rifle.
"We don't take to intruders nicely" Starscream growled.
"Yeah, but if you're here for shooting practice, we'll be happy to oblige! HAHAHA!!" Cyclonus laughed insanely.
"Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you, Psycho-bot" The voice came.
Megatron narrowed his optics as a figure walked in, out from the shadows of the base. A mech stood there, his dark paint job doing him well for blending in with the dark. He had a large gun attached to his arm, and the edges of his armor were sharp and ready for combat. A Decepticon insignia was shown on the left side of his chest, practically glaring.
"Identify yourself" Megatron growled. "I'm not someone you want to toy with"
"I'm sure" The mech frowned lightly. "I'm only one of the many Decepticon soldiers that you don't know exist." He took a step up, noting the weapons drawn and aimed at him. "My name is Razor-Wind, and I'm not going to stay in waiting line, while you're in the middle of the heat." He narrowed his optics and took out two medium sized sharp blades and hit them against each other. "No…I intend on having my share."
Megatron scoffed. He had to admit he liked this Mech's spunk, And leaving without leave was very much Decepticon-like. Yet he was in no need of another rouge. "Is that so? What makes you think that I'll just let you walk in here and let you join my team?"
"I'll tell you this. If there are not Autobots hurting and a stupid Minicon in your hands in the next solar-cycle, then far be it from me to even show my face." Razor-wind sharpened his blades together. "Besides…I've heard all about the fiercest Decepticons of the team"
Razor-wind took a second to glance at each one of the Decepticons and his gaze rested on Sideways. "But there's even some that I've never heard of in my carrier of crime."
Sideways' optics glared at the mech eyeing him and he shifted a slight bit. The stare of a Decepticon that was making a point, particularly about him, wasn't exactly the most welcome of moments. Don't put your nose were it shouldn't be, Decepticon….
Megatron watched the soldier in front of him and put a hand up ever so slightly. "Men, put away your weapons." He muttered. A slow smirk came to his face. "So…you're wanting to prove yourself, are you Solider?" His grin got slyer. "We'll soon see if your even worthy enough to call yourself a Decepticon, Razor-Wind."
*****
Blurr sat alone, watching Incinerator conversing with the street action team. They seemed to be having a good conversation, as though they were discussing the ropes and rules of the base. That would make sense to him. He was a strict officer, and In this war, there was nothing to be had but serious moments, training, combat and maybe a little recharge.
Things were different at this base than back on Cybertron. It seemed a lot of people were relaxed here. Maybe the good security made them feel safe for a while against those wretched cons…
Blurr looked up slightly, seeing Snow-Lilly walk up to him, offering him an energon cube. Without a thank you, the Mech took the cube and had himself a drink. A bit of energy would help him with future combat, be it training or an actual battle. Whatever…
Snow-Lilly took a sip of her own small cube and finished it off. She seemed to be enjoying the fact that the 'cute' little Minicons were having themselves a good conversation. Sometimes it was tough trying to understand what they were saying. At times she could hear them discussing something about Humans, Autobots, or simply the base and it's Minicons. At other times, it just sounded like little beeps and whirrs. It was an on off thing.
Wish there was some intelligent conversation going on around here. The femme thought to herself.
"Hotshot, common! Let's go hang with Blurr and Snow!"
Snow-Lilly blinked and looked over quickly. The group of humans had run up and were looking up at her and Blurr expectantly, like a Sparkling waiting for an Energon goodie.
"Hey Blurr! We heard Scavenger was your Instructor, is that just a rumor or what?" The Human known as Rad waved up at the two. Snow-Lilly glanced at Blurr. That's right…Blurr had been under Scavenger's Instruction while she had been under-
"We saw how he instructed! MAN his snores were rockin' the house!" Carlos added in.
Snow-Lilly caught herself in mid-snort. Scavenger? Snore? Scavenger was just about as serious as Blurr when it came to Battle…OH she would give up a day of dance to hear that!
Blurr on the other hand, just sat and watched the humans in front of him. He did not move or talk to them. In all reality, he really didn't know what to do with them. He had enough of raising a sparkling, he didn't need it again, thank you very much.
"Tell us about Cybertron" Alexis requested, looking up at the duo with wonder. Surely she would get some insight about what Cybertron was like. "What's new?"
"Well there's-" Snow-Lilly started to say, before another kid busted in.
"Will you take me for a spin when you transform into Vehicle mode?" Billy asked eagerly, hoping one of these Autobots would beat that traitor Sideways at speed breaking.
Blurr was silent, and Snow-Lilly was hesitant.
"Well I-"
"Hey, you're hard as steal!" Fred patted Blurr's hard leg then poked at his own belly fat. "I still gotta work on this bad boy."
Snow-Lilly moved aside slightly and took a seat next to Blurr, staring at the group as they interacted. Yes…they were very much like 300 year old Sparklings conversing, playing, and arguing together. It was endearing. Optimus had said that they were their friends…they seemed like pets rather…
Snow-Lilly smiled and watched the kids. "You guys are funny" she cooed.
"Why didn't anyone tell me there was a party?"
Snow-Lilly paused and looked up as the young Autobot known as Hotshot made his way into the room, a grin plastered on his face. She paused and glanced at Blurr quickly, before a small smile made it's way to her. "Hey…Hotshot right?"
The yellow mech grinned. "That's my name."
"Humph" Blurr stood up slowly, then started walking out.
Hotshot blinked and watched him. "Was it something I said?" he asked, earning no reply from the blue mech.
"Hey come back! We were just getting to know you!" Rad called out to the Retreating Autobot.
Hotshot, however, frowned at the attitude. "If you're trying to give me a complex, you'll have to do better than that" he called out.
Blurr paid no head. He really didn't care what the Mech said. It was getting cramped in there, and it wasn't his style to just sit around and chat. He'd find something to do to keep him from being idle.
Snow-Lilly watched Blurr go and debated about going after him. In the few hours that they had been there, Blurr had given her a lecture about her giving him some space; that she shouldn't be hanging around in only one spot.
The femme took the chance she had. While the others were distracted watching Blurr leave, Snow-Lilly managed to slip out the door in the other side of the room. Perhaps she would find the shooting room or something. This ought to be good.
The femme made her pace quicken when she heard that now her absence was noted.
"Hey, where'd Snow-Lilly go?"
"Those two aren't the friendliest are they?"
"Hold on…maybe they just wanted to see the base!"
"Are you serious Carlos?"
"Sure! Let's go help them!"
The sound of feet was heard and the Femme gasped and ran down the hall, then turned a corner, pressing her back against the wall. Please don't find me, Please don't find me…
The humans ran right past her and soon the sound of their feet faded off.
Snow-Lilly let out a breath, then got out of her hiding spot. "Those humans are so cute" she murmured. "Perhaps with time I'll get used to them." A smile came to her face, then she looked around. "Maybe I can work on my sharpshooting…" The femme looked at her gauntlet and headed out to find the room.
Had she had paid attention, She would have noticed Optimus watching her from the same corner that she had turned to hide. He had been curious about what she was hiding from. Now he watched as she tried to find her way.
Surely these two will make a good addition. Getting them used to their surroundings won't be as easy as others…but they have potential.
****
Bam!....Bam Bam!!
….
BAM!!
"hmm…" Snow-Lilly looked at the screen and sighed. "end program".
The scene around her changed from a battlefield to a mere training room with a hallow-projector. The fem sighed and stretched a bit. She could get no higher than level 5 or 6, but she herself was still in training. She could get higher if Blurr was in here and it was on partner mode. "Too bad he's busy" she murmured. "I work better with a partner"
"Then why don't you have one?"
Snow-Lilly gasped and swiped out her gun, finding herself aiming at the face of a short but buff looking Orange bot. His hands raised slightly. "Whoa! Take it easy honey, I'm not part of the projection"
Snow-Lilly paused and quickly put her rifle away. "S-sorry- sorry" she quickly stepped back. "I didn't know- I would have never- I didn't mean to-"
The Mech smiled and patted her shoulder. "You're fine sweetie, just don't put a hole in my armor, and we're cool"
Snow-Lilly paused and let out a small, very brief, laugh. She took a step back and fiddled with her thumbs, watching the craned wonder in front of her.
The Mech continued to smile. "Name's Smokescreen. I've been working with Optimus and the others since the Beta cycle. Except for Hotshot. He's only about a few hundred thousand years older than you."
"Hotshot…oh, that yellow show-off right?"
Smokescreen let out a laugh. He hadn't heard anyone call Hotshot a Show-off since his first few years of being on the team. "Yep that's him." He chuckled again and leaned against the wall. "But he's a nice kid. You get used to him and he rubs off on yah after a while."
This guy talks a lot, but he's friendly.
Snow-Lilly listened to him, but every now and then she would take another tiny step back to widen the space between them. After talking his head off for a while, Smokescreen seemed to take note of the Femme's shyness.
The older mech let a moment of silence go by before he smiled. "How about a quick round of duo? You were training right? I'll be your partner."
"Partner?" Snow-Lilly looked up. "Oh but I'm use to my-"
"Hey Smokescreen, could you get in here and help me with this device?" The voice of Red-Alert came onto Smokescreen's com-link. "I know you have experience with these."
Smokescreen looked down and pressed his gauntlet. "Sure. I'll be right over." He replied. Looking up, he smiled at the femme. "Maybe later?"
Snow-Lilly paused and nodded. "y-yeah…ok"
The orange mech smiled lightly, turned and left the room, leaving Snow-Lilly by herself. The femme let out a small breath of relief. There were others here…she observed that there were seven of them all together. Surely she could get used to a bunch of mechs again, right?
