Here you go! Second rule! Sorry that it's short!
2) Do not hide Sam Witwicky or Will Lennox from their guardians. Remember, Ratchet does not fix injuries caused by stupidity.
"Don't you ever let them out on their own?" Sunstreaker taunted Bumblebee and Ironhide as they walked into the rec. room shared by both bots and humans, their charges on their shoulders and talking with each other calmly. Their conversation stopped abruptly, though, at the golden mech's comment.
"Do you have a problem, Sunstreaker?" Ironhide growled.
"Yeah, I do! You never leave your little Human pets alone! How are they supposed to DO anything if you never let them?" he sneered in reply.
"Okay, first off, we aren't PETS, Sunny, and second of all, they AREN'T with us all the time, especially not on base. Thirdly, it isn't really any of your business if we decide to stay with our Guardians during the day or not," Sam snapped angrily.
"Decide to stay with them?" Sideswipe scoffed, joining in the conversation as well. "That implies that you can do anything to make them leave you alone and they listen to your opinions!"
"They DO," Lennox snapped, getting annoyed with the two twins. "Now leave us alone."
"No. In fact," Sunny said as he walked closer to them, "I think we'll come just a bit closer and annoy you."
"Try it," Ironhide growled, aiming his cannon at them. When the twins arrogantly took another step closer, he fired twice, hitting them both squarely in the chassis and flinging them both back.
"We'll get you back for this," Sunny growled as he and his twin retreated from the rec room to plot their revenge.
Sam and Lennox share a worried look with each other but figure the twins would go after Bee and Hide and leave them be. How wrong they were.
Sam was calmly walking to the rec room after having spent the past hour and a half waiting for someone to tell him why he could not leave his room during that time. Apparently, it had been a security glitch and they wanted him out of the way while they were checking it out and getting it fixed. Whatever.
He turned the corner of the building and froze, staring in shock at the golden lamborghini that was sitting idly right in front of the door. The engine roared in, what Sam thought, evil laughter as it inched closer to him. Sam backed a up a few steps, only to find the twin of the car in front of him nearly right behind him, trapping him in.
"Uh, what do you want?" he asked nervously, looking between the two. They transformed and leered down at him, Sunny reaching out and grabbing him, transforming around him and knocking him out.
Sam woke up to find his arms tied securely behind his back, as well as his legs tied tightly together. There was a gag in his mouth, firmly held there by heavy duty duct tape. What?
Sam looked up and struggled as Will was dragged in, dressed up the same way that he was, his curses muffled by the tape over his mouth. They hadn't knocked him out, then. Will looked at him, anger in his eyes when he saw that they had gotten Sam as well.
The door slammed, leaving Sam and Will alone in the dark. Will kicked him the best he could and asked something that must have been somewhere along the lines of "Are you okay?"
Sam replied with a muffled "Yes" and kicked out again, hitting a box near his leg by accident.
Bumblebee and Ironhide were frantically searching the base, trying to find their charges. They were running out of places to look in. They had planned to meet in the rec. room after a long day of work, or of doing basically nothing, in Sam's case, but the Humans had never shown up, and no one had seen them. It was more than worrying, especially since Will was never late, and Sam rarely was, either. The fact that they both were...
A slight thump alerted them to an Autobot supply closet. Bee and Hide exchanged looks and opened the door, shocked to find Will and Sam tied up and gagged, struggling to escape. They were quickly freed. When asked who had done it, the two Humans shared looks, as though debating if they should tell.
"Sideswipe and Sunstreaker," Sam finally admitted.
"What?" Ironhide growled in a tone that had Sam stumbling back from fear. "Sorry, Sam."
"No, no, that's okay…" Sam assured, shaking his head to show that no harm had been done. He rubbed at his wrists, which were red and raw from their bindings.
"How did they get you?" Bumblebee asked.
"I was walking to the rec. room and Sunny was sitting in front of the door, waiting for me. Sides was right behind me… They knocked me out, I woke up in there, and not long after, Will was brought in there, too."
"They got me right outside of my office. Grabbed me, found out that Sunny had used up all their sleeping gas on Sam, so they just tied me up and gagged me and tossed me in there. Said they were getting revenge on Hide for shooting them yesterday."
The two Humans were taken to the med bay to ensure no real harm had been done to them, despite their assurances that they were fine. "Who did this to you?" Ratchet demanded.
"Sunny and Sides," Will reported.
Ironhide and Bumblebee mysteriously went missing from the med bay while Ratchet fussed over them, growling and grumbling in his native language. Judging from how long the rant was, the two Humans didn't want to know what he said.
The twins were found, hours later, tied up with thick cables, unable to move, their vocal processors offline so they couldn't call for help. There were also multiple dents in their armor. When Optimus found him, he simply pinch the bridge of his nose plate and shook his head, releasing them and sending them to Ratchet. Then, upon finding out that the medic was refusing them treatment, ordering the medic to do his job.
It was only ten minutes after they were released from the med bay that the exasperated Prime found out what had happened and why. He was tempted to call Prowl to the base to yell at the two trouble making frontliners, but resigned to do it himself. Why him?
