Kaede: Starscream can you do the disclaimer please
Starscream: Kaede is stupid so she doesn't own me :)
Kaede:*Sarcastically*Thanks Starcream!
Starscream:Your very welcome
Kaede:*Mutters*Moron...Anyway, I do not own Transformers, it belongs to hasbro!
The Autobots left the Ark to find Thundercracker and Starscream...Fighting!
"This is ridiculous."Wheeljack complained
"I was hoping that there would be a good battle,"Cliffjumper added in, "you can't tell me we stopped our game for this!"
"For once I agree with him, "Sunstreaker gestured towards Cliffjumper "and I hate minibots!
"Calm down everyone, something isn't right," Optimus talked quietly so the seekers couldn't hear him, "why would they come all the way here if they just wanted to argue?"
"Well then, let's just fire 'em outta the sky and see what happens." Of course Wheeljack's real intentions where, obviously, to capture them and test the 'weapon of the day' on them, though the Autobots still went along with what Wheeljack said.
Although they were expecting this to be a trap, what they did not expect was that, as soon as they were out from under the shelter of the ark, the Decepticons decided to cover them with boulders! Because this took them by surprise they did not have time to defend themselves, and so got buried alive!
When they got out of the boulders they were surprised to find that everyone was present and, for the most part, unharmed.
"It's not like Megatron, to do something like this, and leave without taking something, or doing some serious damage." Optimus thought for a moment, "Everyone head to the medbay and get yourselves fully checked out just in case, I will go and get Teletraan 1 to see if the Decepticons have been terrorising any human civilisations."
Everyone, but Optimus, headed for the medbay. Most of them had a set of cards in their servoes, or as much of the chips from the poker games they could carry so that they could play it in the medbay. Upon arriving in the medbay, they quickly sorted themselves into groups and began playing their games whilst waiting for their scans.
They did not notice, that they were being watched. They did not notice all the purple optics, and red visors. They did not notice one particular pair of optics locked on the game.
"No way Perceptor, you win again!" Bumblebee stared at Perceptor in disbelief.
"Perceptor..." A voice whispered to quiet for the Autobots to hear. "Let me take a closer look..."The voice continued.
The mech the voice belonged to was slowly getting to were Perceptor and the others were playing. Quietly he watched their every move, optics fixated to the game in front of him. He leaned forwards to get a better look. Even closer...He lost his footing.
The whole room went silent for a second, everyone surprised to find Swindle spying on them. The silence didn't last long though, as other decepticons began to jump out of their hiding spots and fire at the Autobots.
"So here's where the battle we missed earlier went!" Sunstreaker shouted over the noise, as he shot Ravage's hind leg.
"I said it before, I'll say it again, this is ridiculous!" Wheeljack shouted to noone in particular, trying his best not to be turned into bird food.
"Wha' d'ya want Decepti-creeps?" Jazz shouted at them, not really wanting an answer but getting one nonetheless.
"Maybe we just want some fun," Rumble replied. "Or maybe we just want to ruin yours!" Frenzy finished.
It didn't take long until all the Decepticons retreated back to Megatron.
"I guess we owe Swindle for this win, I have no idea what they were planning, but, I'm sure it wasn't good." Optimus stated, leaving the medbay.
"For some reason," Sideswipe smiled, watching the Decepticons retreat, "we never get tired of that sight." Sunstreaker finished."Now let's get on with our games before I decide to hit someone." Sunstreaker continued using same calm tone he had used before.
Now a preview of the next chapter:
- This morning was a stressful one for a particular combaticon, he had got no recharge that night due to what he witnessed yesterday. Not only had the Autobots been playing a gambling game he didn't understand, a human game no doubt, but one of them had shown great skill in the art of gambling. Maybe even better then his own.-
- "I bet this afternoons rations says I can beat you in a game of snap!" Swindle yelled at the black and purple seeker.-
- Playing the game with Skywarp didn't help, but, it did give him time to think. What he had thought of was the reason he was heading back from the Autobot base unharmed. The reason he was carrying a 'special package'.-
