After a while I walk passed a shop with humans eating different kinds of food. I don't get humans, why not just eat one thing? Why do they have to have a selection? How do you know what to pick? I suddenly have a very uncomfortable feeling in my stomach and it's making a weird noise. What's wrong with it? I notice it's giving me unwanted attention. People are starting to stare.
"Hey, shut up," I whisper to it hoping it would obey but instead I think it got louder.
"Sound like your hungry fella," I hear a voice say.
I turn to the owner of the voice. He is wearing some kind of food outfit. "Why not eat here? Yummy food at low, low prices," He says a bit too enthusiastic. Do these humans have no dignity? But food is probably a good idea. I start to walk in completely ignoring the human. When I got in I look at my surroundings. I notice a lot of the people who are at a table are eating some kind of food, and the one's who isn't are all in a line. That must be where you pick up the food. I wait in line for a few minutes until it is my turn. When I get to the front I see a young girl wearing an apron with dark black hair and a weird food hat. I also realise I don't know what to do. How do these human services work?
"Your order?" She asks. I look at a piece of card on the desk with human writing and pictures on. There's a lot more on the list then I thought. I only thought I would pick out of 5 things but let me tell you there was a lot more then 5. They also seem to have their own category. Drinks, Breakfast, Meals, Desserts... How do I choose? I look back at the girl and asked what she would pick.
"Hmm... well normally the customers pick th-" She starts to say when another human steps in front of me and starts to demand his order. It takes a lot of will power not to punch that human into the ground. I mean does he know who I am? Ok stupid question but still. Wait a second. I need to calm down and remember not to draw any attention to myself. I realise, and besides it looks like the femme is sorting him out.
"That's nice, but you will have to wait at the BACK of the line," She tells him giving him a bit of a glare.
"Wait, oh I get it." He said with a smirk. He got out green pieces of paper. I think the humans call it money. It's so stupid how humans are obsessed with some small piece of paper. Anyway, he started to wave the money in her face, and let me tell you she did not look impressed. "Now how about that burger?" He asked. He seems so stuck up, sorta like Starscream. I started to clench my fingers
The girl just gave him an even bigger glare which cause the stuck up man to flinch. I smirk at his reaction. Wimp. She just a human girl but there is something different in her glare then most humans. Not that I looked at her glare properly but a small shiver went up my spine. Well I think it's called a spine. But I don't like this guy one bit.
A man walked up to the girl telling her to smile at the customer. I think that was her boss. But when he saw she was still glaring at the man he turn her around and started lecturing her if anyone should get a lecture it should be this human. Who does he think he is? He walks round like his something special. Those type of guys makes me so angry. And this is my spot in cue anyway. If he thinks he can just take it his got another thing coming. Even if I'm meant to be on the down low doesn't mean I can't tell this ego head off.
"Hey big head. Move!" I demand with my arms folded.
"What did you just call me?" He turn around and asked.
"What does your ego affect your hearing? Back of the line," I demand.
"Look two ton, do you know who your talking to?" He question pointing to himself. What is he some important human?
"I don't care who you are. Move. Now!" I repeat. Feeling more anger built up inside me.
"Listen man I don't move for no one especially some gay boy." He said with a smirk.
'Gay' what does that even mean?
"Gay?" I question confused.
"Yeah. I bet you punch like a girl too." He laughed turning around. Did he just called me weak? No one calls me weak. My anger was at breaking point. I swear I'm keeping in so much anger. Him just standing there is building my anger. I don't know how much anger I can keep in.
I carry on listening to the girl and her boss, who just told her to play nice, before walking off.
"Yeah, girly play nice." The big head mocked. I heard her growl lowly. "Look babe, just give me my order and I'll go how about that?" He ask with a smirk thinking he could get away with this.
"Or why don't you go to the back before I kick you out here myself," She says through clenched teeth gripping the cash register.
"Oh, trying to play hard to get?" He said giving her a funny look which I didn't like at all. I hate it when male's disrespect females they take femmes for granted.
"Look, moneybags. I'll say it one more time... Get out." She growled lowly. I could tell she wants to punch him in the face as much as I wanted to.
"Well that wasn't very nice. Remember your boss said to play nice or else," He mocks.
"But no one said I got to," I snarled and before I knew what I was doing I punched him. He landed on the other side of the room. I stomped towards him. Anger filling me. "GET OUT!" I shouted in his face terrifying the skin off him. I never saw a human move that fast before. He scrambled to the door as fast as possible. I realise what I just done after when I saw everyones shocked looks. So much for keeping on the down low. Before anyone could say anything, I stomp out the room.
When I get out I punch the wall out of anger. "AAH!" I yell in pain. Stupid human flesh. I start to shake my hand, hoping the pain will go away. Ever since Skywarp left it feels like I've became a different person.
I got out my comm device and called Breakdown. "Hey Breakdown. I need a lift," I say to him waiting for his response.
Breakdown POV
Me and a few of the drones decided that we wasn't getting anywhere so we went into a few buildings. It was pretty boring until I went inside this one building. The humans were playing a cards game. They were betting with their money. I recognise one game I play across the internet. Poker. I love this game. But unfortunately Megatron banned me from playing it. Just because I spent a lot money. Ok so it was a few 1000's so what. I look around and start asking people if they seen anyone who looks different.
"Hey you playing or what?" A man asked me in a tux.
"Me?" I ask.
"Yeah in or out?" He question.
I turn to the cons "I won't tell Megatron if you don't," I say to them. They all take a seat and join in.
That was about a few breems ago. I've been toying with the humans for a while now. So winning will be so much more satisfying. My thoughts were interrupted. My comm link was going off. It's Thundercracker, that was fast.
"Hey. No phones!" The man call to me.
"It's not a phone," I say and answer the call.
"Hey I need a lift," Thundercracker told me. Aww come on, now!
"Er I'm busy," I answer.
"Doing what?" He questions me. I turn to the cons for help. They just shrug their shoulders. Great thanks for the help.
"You know stuff," I answer.
"Uh hmm. Look just come and get me," he demands.
"Knockout's closer," I say as fast as I could and hung up
Thundercracker POV
He hung up on me. Great. I turn around and took a step forward until I heard a voice. "Here." I heard a voice mumble behind me. I turn around to see it's the same girl from earlier. She hands me a bag and drink. Why is she giving me this? I didn't order or pay. She must of read my thoughts cause she answer my thoughts.
"I got your order, you can have it for free for helping me out. Now we're even," She mumbled.
"Um…Thanks," I say a little surprise. I never gotten free food for beating someone up.
Before anyone could say anything Knockout vehicle mode was speeding towards us. Idiot. He not focusing on the road, he's looking at the tracking device. He suddenly notices us and hits the breaks. I turn towards the girl. She looks shocked. I look towards Knockout and he looks at me, giving me a 'oops' look before driving off.
I turn towards the girl. "Gotta go," leaving the startled girl behind. A thought suddenly occur to me. Why didn't she move? I turn to look at her as she heading back inside. She wasn't too shocked to moved I can tell that look and she wasn't giving off that look. Did- did she want to die? I suddenly shake that thought. It's got nothing to do with me. I don't care what happens to her.
I phone Knockout to have a go at him and to pick me up. A few seconds later I see his shiny red car. I open the door to his car and as soon as I do he slams it shut before I could get in. He rolls the window down. "What the pit?" I say unamused.
"You are not getting in with that," He orders giving me a look.
"I need it it's human fuel," I explain.
"Yuck. Don't tell me your going to eat that?" He complains with a disgusting look.
"A cons gotta do what a cons gotta do," I say with a smirk.
"You will never see me eating that-" A noise suddenly cut him off. It's the same noise my stomach was making earlier but this time it wasn't mine. "Aug! I hate being human my stomach keeps making weird noises and it's starting to hurt. I swear I'll do anything to make it stop," He complains. A smirk instantly comes on my face. I quickly hand the bag out to him.
His face just drops. "You have got to be kidding me!" He yells. "Not in a millions years," He moans.
"Fine. But you know what they say happens with humans who don't eat. They're stomach hurts so much they start turning green then everything in their body turns inside out and their bones are on the out side," I lie. Ok so I know that's not true but it's funny seeing his face. Knockout final gets his act together enough to talk.
"Oh come on who says that?!" He demands not believing me.
"Does it matter? To be honest if I was you I wouldn't want to take the chance." I say persuading him to eat it. I turn around and start walking leaving the worried Knockout.
"Wait!" He yells getting out of his car.
Later
Me and Knockout sitting on the bench. We've been staring at our food for a while. I gave him half of mine.
"You first-" He grumbles.
"You first," I interrupt copying him.
"How do you even eat it?" Knockout questions, puzzled by the food in his hand, examining it.
"I guess we just bite it and see what happens," I answer.
"Well. Go on then," He ordered.
"Just give me a second," I say still examining it. I decided just to get it over and done with and shove it in my mouth.
"Ew that's disgusting," Knock Out complains but I ignore him. This isn't bad. It's nothing like energon.
"It's actually not bad. It's nice," I told him truthfully.
"You're kidding?! This is a trick isn't it?" Knockout asked not believing a word I said. I decided to see what the fries tasted like. Even better. I started to put more and more in my mouth.
"Your not kidding are you? You actually like this slop," Knockout says in shock.
"Try it," I tell him. "Don't be a scraplet. If you're a real con, you'll try it." I persuaded.
"I hate you," Knockout muttered before trying an edge of it. Then trying more. "It's weird. But I guess it would have to do."
"So any progress yet?" Knockout asks.
"No but I did get a very strong signal near the place I get this fuel," I answered.
"Pass me your device," Knockout orders. I pass it to him. He started to wire the two devices together.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Syncing the signals together," Knockout explains connecting the wires at the back. Soon another signal came up, sticking out from all the rest.
"There," Knockout smirks passing me my device back. All of the signals went away apart from 2.
"Wait, hang on a minute. There's two," I noticed.
"Well excuse me if I can't get it working perfectly, it's not like I just narrowed our search down from a lot," Knockout complain.
"But why is there 2 shouldn't there be one?" I ask confused. It doesn't make sense there's one Decepticon but 2 signals well apart from ours.
"Thundercracker believe it or not I don't have all the answers." Knockout answers but it's not much of an answer. Dropping that thought I move on to the more important question.
"We don't have enough time to search for both so which one do we pick?" I question.
"Em we flip for it," Knockout suggests.
"I am so glad Lord Megatron asked you to be our commander for this mission." I respond sarcastically. "Honestly we would be lost without you." I carry on.
"Well what do you suggest?" Knockout asks me.
"...We pick the closest one," I state. Knockout gave me a look. "But how are we going to tell it's him?" I ask. We could find the wrong human. And that would just be a waste of time.
"I'm way a head of you. I got a sample of Skywarp's CNA but when we came here it turn into human DNA. I ran through the Goverments documents and found a DNA that matched his. I didn't have long to look through before I got spotted, so all I managed to get was a name: Jacob Rider," Knockout explains handing me the device he was working on. It had a picture of a human with black hair and browns eyes with a hint of red. That's our guy.
Knockout got his comm link out and phones Breakdown. "Breakdown get to our position... I don't care... just knock them out. I'm done keeping a low profile it's time to get serious." Knockout tells him.
What a stupid day. Jacob's gonna flip at me when he hears I got fired. I stare out the window for a bit on the Bus, sitting at the back. I have my hand wrapped around my ID which is hanging around my neck.
I suddenly spot something out of the corner of my eye. Is that?... It is. I realise that's the same car that nearly ran me over. Wait… I've seen that car before. Some where else I just can't place my finger on it.
