Author's Note: First off I own nothing. This idea is used with permission from hummergrey's fic called "When nothing else fits" in which Megatron suggests to Barricade that he should start doing his duty after being pulled over by Prowl. A big thanks to hummergrey for letting me use this idea! Secondly I had an insanely fun time writing this chapter (maybe too much fun) so I hope you enjoy and I own nothing
Battle of the Cops
What started as a suggestion turned out to be an all out war
Barricade's holoform wore a wicked grin as he sat out on an abandoned stretch of road often used by human teens as a speed racing course. The Decepticon cop intended to make it into a speed trap for practice. After all if Megatron "suggested" that he perform his "duty" as a cop he might as well get it right. He fought to hide his grin as he heard the rumble of an engine and a flashy red car flew past him registering ninety miles an hour on a fifty-five mile an hour road. It was flashing a Cybertronian signal as well. Perfect.
Barricade turned on his sirens and lights before racing out and after the car, quickly placing himself right on his quarry's bumper. He heard a loud Cybertronian swear word and the car screeched to a halt and pulled over. The grumbling increased in volume as Barricade's holoform stepped out the car and walked over to tap on the window of the other. It lowered reluctantly and Barricade asked for a license which his victim handed over reluctantly along with registration.
The Decepticon pretended to look it over all while trying to hide his piranha grin. "You were pulled over for going ninety on a fifty-five mile an hour road," Barricade informed the irate figure. "This is your only warning Mr. Steven Tyler." He watched the holoform growl and sputter, allowing his grin to widen enough to show sharp shark's teeth instead of normal human teeth and allowing his eyes to flare red. The figure froze, staring at him. "As it is I suggest you chose a new, less famous name and go the speed limit. This is your only warning Knock Out," Barricade informed the Decepticon spy with a smirk.
"Barricade?" Knock Out ask but the other Decepticon's holoform was already gone and the patrol car was pulling away. Knock Out sighed and pealed out, taking off down the road at a more respectable speed. That was when one set of the Autobot twin terrors nearly hit him and then spun, transforming on the spot. Knock Out transformed too, grumbling. He was about to get his aft handed to him. That was when Barricade came back to help.
No one was more surprised than Barricade himself when the vain Decepticon spy whirled on him, growling like a rabid dog. "First you pull me over for speeding and now you think you can help?" Knock Out hissed. "Uh-un. Get!"
The other Decepticon thought about that for a moment and then shrugged, transforming back into his alt mode and taking off down the road as if he had never stopped in the first place. "By the way," Barricade called as he left. "The whole thing was Megatron's idea." Knock Out felt his mouthplate drop as he stared after that insanely self-satisfied mech zooming off into the night. "Good night," Barricade called just before he was out of hearing range. "You're gonna need it." And that was how Prowl found out.
