Chem: Ok, so what are we going to do now?
Hinge: Well, we get to see just how much fun we can have annoying Authoress.
Authoress: Hang on, why me?
Blackbit: Well, since the Twins aren't here yet, and none of us would annoy each other, you are our only target.
Authoress: Oh, great.
Ch. 4: The Twins
War. It was the last thing that Hinge ever thought he would be a part of. But, who could have predicted that Megatron would gather an army of troops, who he called the Decepticons, and lead them against the council? The council had immediately declared war on them and Cybertron was split into three factions: The Decepticons, the bots who defended the council; who were called Autobots and the group of bots who didn't want to take sides in the war.
The Guardians had decided to follow the Autobots. They didn't follow because of the council though, because they were not exactly sympathetic with them, but because Hinge, Blackbit, and Chem had wanted to support Ultra Magnus.
The three of them were now on their way to Praxus to help fight back another Decepticon attack against the city. Hinge hadn't been to Praxus very much before the war but he did remember that it had been a beautiful city. As the three of them entered the city, Hinge was spark broken when he saw the broken and burning buildings, the rubble on the streets, and bots of all sizes running everywhere. This was a nightmare.
"What are we doing here again Hinge?" Chem asked.
"We are here to help rescue any bots that are injured as well as fight the Decepticons. Hinge answered.
The three Guardians then transformed to their bi-pedal modes before searching the complexes around them. They all would search every nook and cranny until they found something. Hinge lifted up a slab of concrete and almost put it down when he heard a small amount of movement.
"Hey Blackbit, come hold this." Hinge asked.
Blackbit nodded and held up the slab while Hinge knelt to the floor.
"What did you find?" Chem asked.
Hinge continued to search and said, "I heard some movement and I want to make sure that it isn't just a pet petro-rabbit." He then sifted through the debris some more until his servo hit a latch.
Chem bent down and said, "A hidey hole. I heard that Praxians had these but I thought they were just rumors."
Hinge took the handle and yanked it up before shining a light inside. A flash of light blue went away from his light when he did. Hinge took a quick scan of the hole and found that it was large enough to fit him so he turned to Chem and said, "Hold the door open for me. I think that there is a bot down there."
Chem nodded and said, "Ok, just be careful."
"Aren't I always?" Hinge asked with a smile.
"Do you want my answer written in energon?"
Hinge laughed and shook his helm before slowly entering the hole. He hanged by his servos for a few nano-clicks before lightly dropping to the ground. He then looked around the room before he saw what looked like a little light blue mech sparkling curled up in a corner. He knew that the little mech was probably still scared from the attack so he slowly walked up to him and sat down when he was an arms-length away before saying, "Hello. My name is Hinge. What's yours?"
The little mech seem to relax a little at his name and said, "I'm Radar and I just became a youngling. You're a Guardian, right?"
Hinge nodded and said, "Yes. I am the leader."
Hinge smiled when a look of joy spread across the young mech's faceplate as he said, "Cool. Are you here to help me?"
Hinge nodded and said, "The other Guardians and I are going to get you out of here and to a safe house."
Radar nodded so Hinge picked him up before walking up to the hole. He then looked up and asked, "Hey Chem, you got an extra servo to lend?"
"Yeah, here you go." Hinge heard Chem say before he saw a ruby servo reach down. Hinge glanced at Radar before saying, "Ok, when I lift you up, I want you to grab that servo as tightly as you can. Ok?"
"Okay." Radar answered before he grabbed Chem's servo and held on tightly.
"Ok Chem, pull him up slowly."
Hinge smiled as Radar was lifted up. "Ok, all clear." Hinge heard Chem say. He knew that statement meant he was clear to jump up so he jumped up and grabbed the edge before using the leverage to propel himself onto the floor above. Once he was clear, Chem shut the door and Blackbit let the concrete slab fall.
"Hey little guy, what's your designation?" Blackbit asked.
Radar, who was currently being held by Chem, smiled and said, "My designation's Radar."
Blackbit smiled and said, "I'm Blackbit and the mech who's holding you is Chem."
Radar's optics grew wide and he said, "You two are Guardian's like Hinge! I'm your biggest fan!"
Hinge smiled at Radar's reaction but he knew that they had to get him to one of the safety zones. The only problem was that the closest safety zone was on the opposite side of the city. He wasn't so much worried about the distance as to the fact that Decepticon activity in the area was still dangerously high. Plus, there were very few Autobots beside themselves that were there. That was because Ultra Magnus had requested that they be one of the first responders to lower the Decepticon numbers before the other responders arrived. Hinge then said, "We need to move. Chem, you carry Radar and keep him safe."
Chem nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll keep him safe."
"Blackbit, you and I will escort them until we have to lead off any 'Cons." Hinge ordered.
Blackbit activated his right cannon and nodded before saying, "Any 'Cons who dare show their ugly faceplates won't know what hit them."
"What can I do?" Hinge heard Radar ask.
He smiled and walked over to Chem before looking at Radar and saying, "I have a very important job for you. If you see any bot who is near us that isn't one of us, I want you to yell out and point to where they are. It's a pretty big job. Think you can handle it?"
Radar nodded and gave him a salute before saying, "You bet."
Hinge then nodded at Chem and Blackbit before the three of them left the home and started to make their way across the destroyed city. About half way through, the first Decepticon found them and Blackbit detached from the group to fight the bot while Hinge, Chem, and Radar continued on, albeit at a faster pace. The three of them were soon three-fourths of the way there and Hinge felt like they were actually going to make it.
Well, that was before Radar yelled out and pointed to his right and two car mechs, one red and one purple, came out and slammed into both of them. Hinge flew through the air and grunted as his back hit the ground.
"Radar, go hide!"
Hinge immediately half sat up as he heard the panic in Chem's order. He would have sat up all the way but he was restricted by a twinge of pain in his side. He then turned to Chem and watched him try and attack the two car mechs. In response to that, the red car mech slammed the bottom of his pede into Chem's faceplate and smashed down. Hinge, filled with fury, ignored his pain and stood up before taking out his sword and charging at the red mech in full force.
The red mech looked shocked when Hinge slammed into him and didn't have time to react when Hinge dug his sword into his chassis. The red mech fell down and tried to swipe at Hinge to let him go but Hinge was beyond infuriated. The scratches felt more like gentle touches to him at this moment. Hinge grabbed the mech's helm in his servos and ripped it off of its base.
"HINGE HELP!"
Hinge turned around in a frenzied panic when he heard Radar's scream for help. What he saw was the purple mech grabbing a struggling Radar and starting to run off with him. Hinge snarled and started to give chase to the 'Con at full speed. Whatever the cost, that Decepticon was not going to take Radar anywhere.
Hinge slid to a stop when a bronze blur slammed into the purple mech. But he ran forward again when Radar was thrown from the purple mech's servos and into the air. He got pretty close to Radar and jumped up before catching him. Making sure that he was alright, Hinge asked, "You ok Radar?"
Radar simply nodded so Hinge returned his attention to the fight and saw that the purple Decepticon had called in backup and now there was an orange Decepticon car mech standing there as well. Across from the two 'Cons was a bronze colored car mech with the Autobot symbol. Hinge was glad that he had some backup.
The bronze mech took out a sword before giving it a twirl and saying, "Come on bots, let's see what pathetic excuse for training you have received."
Hinge was about to offer his help when he realized that he would need to be able to run with Radar if things turned ugly. So, he sent a quick message to Blackbit telling him where Chem was and to check on him before bringing him to his coordinates.
A clang of metal brought his attention back to the three bots and Hinge was impressed that the bot was holding his own against the two. He seemed to know exactly when they were going to strike and almost moved effortlessly. "Come on, my grand carrier gives me more of a challenge then you two, and she is ancient." The bronze mech taunted.
Instead of falling for the taunt though, the two backed off for a click and the purple one suddenly charged at Hinge. Hinge set Radar down behind him before taking out his sword. He could see out of the corner of his optic that the bronze mech was trying to get over and help him but his path kept getting blocked by the orange mech. Hinge tightened the grip on his sword as the purple mech continued to draw closer. But, he never got the chance to use it.
BAM! A streak of blue gray slammed into the purple 'Con, making him slam to the ground, and Hinge watched as the blue gray car mech, who looked exactly like the bronze one, stepped in front of him. Hinge picked up Radar again and glanced at the mech, who asked, "You two ok?"
Hinge nodded and said, "Yeah." He then saw the purple mech charging again so he said, "He's coming back."
The mech nodded in thanks before turning to the purple mech and took out a sword. He then went pede to pede with the mech and Hinge felt like he was watching the other twin fight again. Their fighting style was almost flawless, for being as young as they were, and the blue gray mech almost looked like he was enjoying the fight, in a good way of course.
Both fights ended simultaneously as each twin ripped the Decepticons' helms off. The two bots then dropped their foes to the ground before walking up to Hinge and Radar before the bronze one asked, "Are you two ok?"
Hinge nodded and said, "Yeah, we're fine. Thank you both."
The blue gray one held out a servo before saying, "You're welcome. The name's Hindsight."
Hinge shook Hindsight's servo before saying, "Nice to meet you. My name's,"
"Hinge! I could use some help here." Hinge heard Blackbit yell.
The four of them turned around and Hinge saw Blackbit struggling to carry a semiconscious Chem. Hinge wasted no time and ran up to them before asking, "Hey Chem, nice job back there."
Chem smiled before he drifted back to unconsciousness. Hinge shook his helm before glancing at Blackbit and saying, "Ok, theses bots here are Hindsight and…what's your name again?" Hinge asked the bronze mech.
The bronze mech looked surprised that he was being addressed before he said, "Sorry, got caught up in the moment. The name's Foresight and I'm Hindsight's twin."
Hinge nodded and continued, "Hindsight and Foresight helped me get Radar back from the Decepticons."
Blackbit nodded at the two and said, "Nice to meet you. The name's Blackbit and this is Chem. You two wouldn't happen to know where the safety area is, would you?"
Hindsight and Foresight nodded before Foresight said, "Yeah, we are based there with a few other bots. We better start moving, the 'Cons will probably be showing back up soon."
Hinge and Blackbit nodded so Foresight went and helped Blackbit carry Chem while Hinge and Hindsight took the lead with Hinge holding Radar. It took them about five clicks but the finally arrived at the base. Hinge was relieved when two bots came out, one blue and yellow and the other a red and gray mech. He was surprised, though, when they saw the look on their faces. They seemed upset and he had no idea why. The blue and yellow one came up to them and said, "You bots ok?"
Hinge nodded and said, "I am but Radar here will need to be watched by your youngling care unit and my friend there with the mashed up faceplate will need medical attention." Hinge winced when his wounds he received against the 'Con he had ripped its helm off finally started to act up. He then then, "And I think my friend Blackbit and I could use some patch ups."
The yellow mech nodded and said to his gray and red companion, "Firefog, get these bots to med bay and Radar here to the youngling care unit."
Firefog nodded and said, "You got it Thunderwave."
They all then went inside and Hinge handed Radar over to the bots before allowing the bots to take him, Blackbit, and Hinge to their med bay. They opened the door and took a seat before the medic started to fix them up. The medic got Chem stabilized before fixing up both Blackbit and himself. Once the medic was done, he looked at the two Guardians before saying, "Ok, you two are all fixed up. Your friend here will have to stay the night so tell Thunderwave and Firefog that you two are to be given quarters to stay in. The name's Neuro by the way."
Hinge nodded and said, "Thank you. When would be an appropriate time to come and visit Chem?"
Neuro glanced at Chem before saying, "I would say that I won't be finished with the cosmetic repairs for another three cycles. Those 'Cons really did a number to his faceplate. Anyway, I would probably wait for tomorrow until you come see him. I will send a messenger for you if that changes."
Blackbit nodded and said, "Thank you. Do you know where we can find Thunderwave and Firefog?"
Neuro seemed to think about that for a minute before saying, "They are probably in the rec room. You will want to turn right when you leave here, make a left at the end of the hallway, and enter the third door on your right."
"Thanks for the directions." Hinge stated before both him and Blackbit made their way to find the two previously mentioned Autobots. As they approached the rec room though, Hinge motioned for Blackbit to stop when he heard the sound of arguing coming from the other side.
"Didn't we tell you blasted twins not to go out there?" Hinge heard Firefog yell.
"What were we supposed to do? Leave them to their own devises?" Hindsight retorted.
"Yes, that was exactly what we wanted you to do. Now we have to take care of these fragging bots until they decide to leave. That means less energon for us." Thunderwave stated.
"But we have hordes of energon that bots risk their sparks for to get here and we barely make a dent in it." Foresight stated.
Hinge heard Firefog growl before saying, "Yes, and we would like to keep it that way. More for us and less for them."
Hinge frowned at that. Firefog and Thunderwave were trying to extort supplies of energon for themselves.
"But it isn't right. We are a safety station. Our job is to help bots who need our assistance." Foresight again stated.
"Just you watch your glossas Hindsight and Foresight. We told you not to go out and help those stinking bots and you did so. Now we have to play the nice house guest. And since you are the ones that disobeyed orders, you two get to spend tomorrow cleaning med bay. It is going to be dirty after those bots get healed." Thunderwave stated.
Hinge knew that they had to back up so the two Guardians quietly backed up around the corner before making a lot of noise to signal that they were coming. They entered the rec room and were greeted by the four mechs just standing there, the twins glaring at the other two bots. Thunderwave smiled at the two of them before saying, "I see that Neuro healed you two up nice."
Blackbit nodded and said, "Yes, your medic did a wonderful job with our repairs. He also said that you could show us to our rooms for the night because our friend is still being repaired."
Hinge saw Firefog and Thunderwave frown at that slightly before Thunderwave said, "Oh, yes, well we don't have many available rooms so if you two won't mind, you can recharge in Hindsight and Foresight's room."
Hinge watched Hindsight and Foresight frowned at the other two bots for a split second before smiling at Hinge and Blackbit. Hindsight went on next to Blackbit and Foresight went next to Hinge and led them out of the room. Once they were a safe distance down the hallway, Hindsight and Foresight stepped in front of them and walked backwards and Hindsight asked, "So, how is your friend doing?"
"He is doing ok. The doc thinks that he should be fine by tomorrow." Hinge stated.
"How long have you two been stationed here?" Blackbit asked. Hinge knew what he was doing and waited expectantly for an answer.
Hindsight glanced at Foresight before saying, "I think we have been here since the start of the war."
Foresight nodded and said, "Yeah, that sounds about right."
"Then why are there so few of you bots here?" Hinge asked.
Again, the twins glanced at each other. But this time, Hinge could see a hint of fear and worry in their optics, like they would get in trouble if they said anything to them. Hinge was even more sure about this idea when Hindsight and Foresight glanced around before saying, "Come on. This is our room. We can talk in there."
When they got into the room, Hinge frowned when he noticed that it was very small, just large enough to hold two bots comfortably. He wasn't upset that he wasn't going to be able to have enough room, that wasn't it at all, what he was upset with was the fact that the other two bots, Firefog and Thunderwave, wouldn't just let them have an extra room. Hinge assumed that this was punishment for the twins for going out and helping them.
Hindsight bolted the door locked it after they got in and motioned for the two Guardians to sit on the ground with them. Hesitantly, both did and waited for one of the twins to talk.
"Well, the reason that there are so few of us here is because no bot wants to be around Firefog and Thunderwave. They are frag helms and they like to take control." Hindsight stated.
"But why are you two here?" Blackbit asked.
Foresight sighed before saying, "Well, there are only seven of us here normally. There are us two, Neuro, Thunderwave, and Firefog. Plus there are two other mechs here; one is a silver and green motorcycle mech named Pinefrost and one is a gold and blue car mech named Suncrest. Pinefrost and Suncrest only stay here because they want to make sure they watch over any younglings or sparklings we happen to get, like Radar. Neuro is the only medic who stayed behind because he knew that there would always be some bot who needed his help, like you bots and your friend."
"But what about you two?" Hinge asked.
Hindsight took over then and said, "Us two are here to take the heat off of everyone else."
"What do you mean?" Blackbit asked.
Foresight smirked and said, "Well, we are the ones that will normally cause trouble because if we don't cause the most trouble, then Thunderwave and Firefog will notice if Neuro forgets to clean up an area in med bay or if Pinefrost and Suncrest take some extra energon since Thunderwave and Firefog give us all about one cube a day and they will normally have four or five."
Hindsight nodded and added, "And our normal choice of trouble is pranks. We have gotten very creative with our pranking skills over the stellar cycles. But today, instead of a prank, we got to pull the not-following-orders move and that's our story."
Hinge nodded at that. These bots seemed very responsible and were willing to take up the burdens of punishment to make sure that those bots who might not be as strong as they are don't get them. Plus, he knew that they had excellent fighting skills. He had sent Blackbit a message with the video feed of the fight in it and Blackbit said that he would not mind them being Guardians as long as they had the morals. "That is very brave of you two. You know, taking the others' burden of dealing with those two glitch helms." Hinge stated.
Hindsight and Foresight just shrugged their shoulders and said at the same time, "We would do it for any bot." Foresight then said, "Now, who exactly are you bots and why are you here?"
Hindsight nodded and said, "Yeah, 'cause you bots look important and have that air of authority around you. Good authority mind you but still authority."
Hinge was not surprised that neither Hindsight nor Foresight recognized them. Their generation hadn't had the benefits of being told Guardian stories at berth time and so they were still somewhat in the dark about the Guardians. He figured that they knew what they were about but they didn't know who was in it. Hinge smiled and said, "Well, as you know, my name is Hinge, this is Blackbit, and our friend in med bay is named Chem. We were sent here by Ultra Magnus to act as first responders and get any bots we found to here, the safety area. The only bot we found that wasn't a 'Con was Radar."
Foresight nodded but said, "But why would Ultra Magnus specifically send you three in as first responders? Don't they usually send in a bunch of bots to fight off the 'Cons?"
Blackbit let out a chuckle before saying, "Normally yes, they would. But we aren't exactly normal bots."
Hindsight grew a suspicious look in his optics before he asked, "Just what kind of bots are you that even Ultra Magnus trusts that it would only take three of you to be first responders?"
Hinge smiled and decided to answer them so he said, "Well, Blackbit, Chem, and I make up the Guardians."
Hindsight and Foresight just stared at the two of them in shock. Hinge was guessing that they were still trying to process the information that they were just given. Finally, after a few clicks, Foresight got out of his shock enough to ask, "You mean the top warriors on all of Cybertron who have an outstanding sense of morality Guardians?"
Blackbit nodded and said, "Yep."
Hindsight and Foresight then scooted closer to the two Guardians before Hindsight asked, "Does that mean you bots are the highest ranking bots currently here?"
Hinge raised an optic ridge in confusion before answering, "Yes, Ultra Magnus made it quite clear to all the bots who are in charge of these places that us Guardians rank just above a Prime. He made that way so we could kick a Prime out of a position of authority if they are endangering an area or just being greedy and abusing their power." Hinge noticed the almost excited looks on the twins' faceplates so he asked, "Why?"
The twins again turned to each other and Hinge realized that they were talking over their twin bond. It was silent for a click before the twins returned their attention to Hinge and Blackbit. Then Foresight said, "Thunderwave and Firefog were put in charge of this place and we all; and that's including us two, Neuro, Pinefrost, and Suncrest, would like those two taken out of here as quickly as possible. They are cruel dictators and nobot wants to have them here any longer."
Hinge glanced at Blackbit, who nodded, before saying, "We will have to talk to our friend Chem before we agree to officially, but we will most likely help. We overheard the argument that you two had with Firefog and Thunderwave in the rec room before we got there and know that they don't deserve to be in charge here."
Hinge was filled with joy when he saw the hopeful looks on Hindsight and Foresights faceplates. He took a quick glance at his internal clock and saw that it was getting late. If they were going to have this confrontation tomorrow they were going to have to have a good recharge. "Ok bots, we need to get some recharge."
Hindsight and Foresight nodded at each other before saying, "Well, us two will share a berth and you two can decide who will get the other." The two twins then got on their berth.
Hinge motioned to the berth and said, "Take it Blackbit. You had the floor last time."
Blackbit nodded and got on the berth while Hinge got comfortable on the floor. He smiled to himself when three different snores soon reached his audio sensors. Great, three times the challenge of falling into recharge. But, despite the extra snore chorus, Hinge was soon in recharge.
Now Hinge really was starting to get annoyed with this dream. Like all of the other times, the black faceless mechs came followed by him leading the silver ones, Blackbit, and Chem. Then, Blackbit turned to him and asked, "What now Hinge?" Then Chem answered him saying, "We make sure that everyone is ok. Who should go where?" Now the dream went further and changed. He glanced around and saw that there were many different areas that he was unfamiliar with. But that was when two of the silver bots shifted and they turned into Hindsight and Foresight. Foresight pointed to one of the burning buildings and said, "I'll take over here with Chem and Blackbit." Hindsight nodded at his twin's suggestion and said, "Then Hinge, you and I can take the subway system underneath."
Since he had some of the dream before, he didn't wake up in a panic but he was alarmed when he onlined his optics just to see three familiar figures' faceplates in his vision. He sat up and said, "You know, there are better ways of waking someone up then staring at them."
Hindsight tilted his helm to the side and said, "But they aren't as much fun."
Hinge groaned and sat up before saying, "Well, Blackbit and I have to go to med bay real quick to see if Chem is up. Then, we will join you. Where are you going to be?"
Hindsight glanced at Foresight who said, "We think we are going to hang out in the rec room. Come and meet us in there when you are ready."
Hinge nodded so he and Blackbit made their way back to med bay. When they walked inside, they saw Chem sitting on a berth talking to Neuro. Next to Neuro were two bots that Hinge recognized from the twins' description and the one called Pinefrost was holding Radar. The five of them turned to the two Guardians and Chem said, "Hinge, Blackbit; we need to help these bots here. The bots called Thunderwave and Firefog are vicious dictators that have abused their power."
"We know." Blackbit responded. "Hindsight and Foresight have told us everything. Speaking about those two, Chem, we want to accept those two into the Guardians."
Chem raised an optic ridge but that immediately changed to understanding when Hinge sent him the video files that showed the twins' actions. Chem soon nodded and said, "I agree as well. Do they know that we are looking at them as Guardians?"
Hinge shook his helm and said, "No, they don't. All they know is that we are Guardians and we can help them."
Neuro then looked around before asking, "Where are those two anyways?"
Blackbit pointed out the door before saying, "They went to the rec room to wait for us."
Neuro, Pinefrost and Suncrest glanced at each other in a panic before saying together, "We need to get there now."
They all then ran out the door, Pinefrost still carrying Radar, and made their way to the rec room. While they were running, Hinge turned to Suncrest, who was running next to him, and asked, "What's the problem?"
"Before you all showed up, Firefog and Thunderwave stormed into the med bay, covered in tar, demanding to know where the twins were. We all figured that the twins must have pranked the two of them so we said that they were heading to the rec room because we figured that they wouldn't be there." Suncrest answered.
"Yeah, and plus it doesn't help their case that they disobeyed orders and went to help you bots. They are most likely getting punished now." Pinefrost added.
"How bad is it?" Hinge asked with worry.
Neuro moved closer to him before saying, "It sometimes makes me wish I was a Decepticon prisoner when I see their wounds after a 'lesson learning time' with those two."
Hinge, Chem, and Blackbit could now understand why they were in such a rush to get to the rec room. Hinge turned to Pinefrost and Suncrest before saying, "You two will come with us and bring Radar. I don't want one of them sneaking out and using him as collateral if they get into a tight spot. But, I want you two to watch him and be ready to run if one of them attacks you. Neuro; Blackbit and I will distract the two bots and you and Chem will check on them. Also Chem, while checking up on them, if they are conscious, ask them the question. It will help us with any problems that might arise."
All of the bots nodded and they all soon reached the rec room. Hinge held up a servo to listen and could hear the faint sounds of somebot being punched. Hinge slowly opened the door and stared in shock when he saw the twins strapped to upright tables that where bolted to the wall and Thunderwave was shocking Hindsight with a strange prod and Firefog was shocking Foresight at the moment. Both twins looked a little ruff but they didn't look to terrible yet.
"How did you bots get into our private chambers?" Firefog demanded.
Hinge was proud when Hindsight glared at him and said, "Like we would tell you two." Hindsight then grunted in pain as he was shocked by Thunderwave.
Thunderwave shook his helm and said, "You know, this would go so much quicker if you two would just tell us."
Foresight shook his helm and stated, "Still not helping your case here Blunder-wave." Foresight yelled out in pain when Firefog slammed the prod against his neck cables.
Hinge knew that it was now time to put their plan into action so he slammed the door open, which caused Firefog and Thunderwave to jump, and stormed in with the others behind him. "What do you mechs think you are doing?"
Firefog and Thunderwave must have thrown out the good host behavior because Thunderwave growled and stated, "Nothing that concerns you."
Hinge watched as Chem and Neuro made their way to the twins and started to get them down. Hinge and Blackbit knew that they had to keep their attention so Blackbit stated with a low growl, "I think it is our business since you're torturing those two bots."
Firefog now growled before saying, "Why don't you low rank bots leave and let us Majors take care of our business?"
Hinge saw that Neuro and Chem had gotten the twins down. He caught optic contact with both twins and when they nodded, he knew that they had chosen to accept their new positions on the Guardians. So, he returned Firefog's growl with a more feral one of his own before saying, "Well, for one thing Firefog, we won't let you take care of your business because it is endangering your troops. Second of all, you should check a bots status before saying that they are a lower rank then you."
Thunderwave laughed at that and said, "I don't see any bots in here that outrank us. Neuro doesn't outrank us since he is only a medic. Those blasted twins don't since they are just simple soldiers. Pinefrost and Suncrest don't because they are only care takers. And you three definitely don't because you were sent in here as first responders and only the grunt of the grunts are sent to do that."
Everybot jumped when Hinge let out a loud bought of laughter. Then they all shivered when he let out an evil, knowing smirk before saying, almost whispering, in a tone that foretold terrible tidings for Thunderwave and Firefog, "You don't know how wrong you bots are."
Now the two offending mechs were starting to get worried so Firefog asked, "What rank are you bots?"
Hinge's smirk only grew wider as he said, "We don't hold any official rank on the Autobot force." He then paused before taking out his sword and saying, "We are the Guardians."
Thunderwave's and Firefog's optics widened in shock and fear at that statement. "Impossible! The Autobots wouldn't send in their best troops to be first responders!" Thunderwave stated in shock.
Hinge nodded and said, "You two are hear-by taken off of command here and are to take your sorry afts back to Cybertron where Ultra Magnus will be deciding your punishment. I have just sent him the file of these events and the complaints that we have received. Now," He then let out a short and powerful growl before saying, "Get your afts out of this building now."
The two took no time in running out of the door. Once they were gone, they all got in a group and Hinge said, "Pinefrost, Suncrest, and Neuro; you three will be in charge here until their replacement comes. And if their replacement causes any trouble like they did, don't be afraid to call us right away." He then turned to Hindsight and Foresight before saying, "You two excited about being Guardians?"
Foresight nodded before saying, "Couldn't think of a better thing to be."
Hindsight also nodded and said, "Plus, now that we outrank the Primes, we can prank them too if they start to annoy us."
Hinge sighed and turned to Blackbit and Chem before saying, "What have we unleashed?"
At that statement the entire room burst out in laughter.
Blackbit: I wonder where Authoress is, she is usually around here at the end of the chapter.
Hinge: Yes, and it is starting to worry me. Do you think something happened to her?
*Two walk under a doorway and both get splattered with glue and feathers fall all over them.*
*in another room*
Authoress: That's what they get for annoying me. *turns to two figures* Thank you for your assistance.
Hindsight: No problem Authoress. We would do that...
Foresight: ...anytime.
AN: Ok, hope you all liked. Next chapter will be up soon. Until then though, please read and review. But no flames.
