Episode 4: Speed Takes Flight
Starscream flew around the city having a great time. He challenged himself by flying straight towards buildings and turning at the last second. As he flew back into the neighborhood he spotted Optimus and Bee walking down the sidewalk. He decided to have some fun. Optimus and Bee didn't notice Starcream soaring down towards them until the last second.
"AAHH!" Optimus and Bee yelled and covered their heads as Starscream flew right over their heads inches from touching them. He transformed and laughed.
"HAHAHA!" Starscream laughed looking at a startled Optimus and Bee.
"Don't do that!" Optimus said.
"Yeah!" Bee added.
"What's so wrong about taking risks?" Starscream said with his servos curled up on his hips.
"Have you ever wished about trying out traveling on roads than in the air?" Bee asked.
"No, why in the name of Primus would I?" Starscream said raising one of his large optic-brows.
"You do know you can go a lot faster on wheels than wings, especially with my speed!" Bee bragged.
"Oh please!" Starscream said. "I can go much faster than you, Cliffjumper or Knock Out!" Starscream bragged.
"I would like to see that!" Bee said.
"Yes...-" Starscream trailed off as he ended up with a clever idea. "I bet you would...see ya!"
Starscream transformed again and flew away leaving Bee confused. Throughout the day, Starscream spied on Bee trying to find the right time to begin his idea. He finally did when dusk fell and Bee was getting ready to check out the library. Starscream got his chance as he transformed and flew straight at Bee who also transformed. Bee heard Starscream zoom overhead.
"At least this time he hasn't pulled any-" was all Bee could say before something zoomed down and grabbed him from under. Starscream had launched a grappling hook to Bee and was forcing him off the road into the air!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Bee yelled as he was pulled into the air and very high.
Starscream laughed and flew very fast. Bee panicked and stayed in car form. They went over all of their friend's houses and even flew over Optimus who was also heading to the library.
"What the?" Optimus said confused.
They flew out of the neighborhood and into the city.
"PUT ME DOWN!" Bee yelled completely scared out his mind.
"Mabye...mabye not yet!" Starscream said as they began to dodge bulidings and other cybertronians.
They flew low towards the streets and up to the very top of skyscrapers. They even went higher than that! Bee thought he was going to be sick. Starscream only laughed louder. They did about 5 different stunts in the air and then Starscream kicked in the ultra turbos and zoomed through the desert taking the long way back to the neighborhood.
"STARSCREAM STOP...PLEASE!" Bee begged as Starscream raced through the desert.
A few minutes later they were close to the neighborhood. Starscream lowered himself enough for Bee to place his wheels on the road which Bee saw the chance to transform. Starscream uncoupled the grappling hook which released Bee and hooked back up to himself and transformed while in the air landing safely on his feet...but not for long. He turned around and wide-eyed when Bee accidently ran straight into him causing both of them to roll into a ball of metal that bounced and rolled down the street. They were not fighting but the bouncing was hurting them. As a stroke of luck, Megatron had been waiting for them to come back to see the look on Bee's face but instead he received a ball of metal to his chest. He didn't fall but he did stop the dizzy duo from going any further. Starscream was on top of Bee with his claws clung to Bee's back and Bee's non-clawed fingers clung to Starscream's back. They sighed that it was all over. Starscream let go and scrambled to his feet in excitement.
"YEAH MAN! THAT WAS AWESOME!" Starscream said picking Bee up.
Bee couldn't say anything as he was out of breath. Megatron laughed but felt sorry for Bee at the same time.
"So Bee, still think roads are better than air and that you are faster than me?" Starscream asked with his claws on his hips and a big smirk on his face.
Bee, still too tired to say a word, walked to his house with his back injured a bit and he was embarrased but was glad that Optimus was not around. He went into his kitchen and took a very long drink of energon. It was at that point that Optimus returned seeing a smirking Starscream and Megatron. Optimus had saw what Starscream had did to Bee and his optics widened when he saw Megatron with an evil grin.
"So Optimus, do you want to go next?" Megatron said advancing towards him.
Optimus' only reply was transforming and racing away. Megatron transformed and flew after him laughing. Starscream was left laughing only to trip back on his heels and fall on the ground still laughing which turned to groaning from his back hitting the ground many times during the rolling and bouncing.
The End!
End of episode 4!
