Sorry for the delay guys. I've had finals and a whole bunch of other boring nonsense.
In another part of the desert, completely opposite to where Smokescreen had landed, two individuals were slowly making their way towards the village of the sand.
The first individual was tall and carried a pouch on their side. His hair covered what appeared to be some kind of ocular device.
The other one was short in appearance but behind him trailed his large metal tail.
From both of these individuals one could feel that they were dangerous.
But their appearance may throw you off. Their clothes were covered in pink clouds.
"Optimus sir."
"What is it Red Alert?"
"Before we left I made sure to install a Mini-Con signal device into my communications wave. I've been picking up a Mini-Con plate just several miles from here for the last minute apparently."
"What? Let's go!"
"Hot Shot, hold on-"
Hot Shot didn't listen. He immediately transformed into his vehicle mode, of which the sound from its engine scared most of the bystanders.
And of course Naruto was just more impressed, "Now THAT'S just sweet!"
Hot Shot sped off leaving a cloud of dust rising from the ground and shouting, "We can't let the Decepticons beat us to it!"
"Hey wait up Hot Shot!"
Naruto immediately began running after Hot Shot and was soon able to catch up.
It took Hot Shot a few seconds to notice Naruto was keeping up with him. When he noticed him, Hot Shot slammed his brakes and actually made himself flip over.
He had to transform to get back up, "How in the world did you do that?"
"What, run so fast?"
"Well that, but also run fast enough to keep up with me!"
"I'm a ninja, ninja are supposed to be fast!"
The others were quickly gaining on them, which made Hot Shot forget his shock and transform again.
"You're alright kid. Hop on. I'll drive you there."
Naruto was completely puzzled, even when Hot Shot popped open his doors to let him in he didn't know what to do.
"Look, your friends and Optimus are going to fry our circuits. Might as well give them something as an apology, right?"
"Well…what am I supposed to do?"
"Get in!"
Completely unsure of what to do, Naruto jumped into the passenger seat and the door slammed shut, making Naruto scream in surprise.
He just screamed more when Hot Shot took off once more.
Behind them, Red Alert, Optimus, Kakashi, Sakura, and Sureshock were all in hot pursuit.
"Curse that Hot Shot. He needs to learn to wait for orders."
"Optimus, he's new. He'll need time to learn the ropes and deal with the consequences of not following orders."
Sakura piped in, "Is he even going the right way? I mean, you never said where the Mini-Con was."
"True, and lucky for them both their going the exact right way."
Kakashi sighed, "I was looking forward to reading my new Make-Out Tactics novel, but it would seem that must wait."
Sakura just gave him a 'I can't believe you read that' look and kept running.
Hot Shot and Naruto began freaking out.
"Hey, hey, hey! Watch those trees you yellow deathtrap!"
"Will you quit yelling at me? I know what I'm doing!"
"Do you even know where to go?"
Hot Shot gave a long silence before saying, "Oops."
"Oops! How can you say oops! You should have waited to find out where the Mini-Con was from the medic guy!"
"Oh, and what would you have done?"
It was Naruto's turn to give a long moment of silence. It was broken by another voice.
"Turn left now!"
This caused Hot Shot to barely miss slamming into three trees and a family of rabbits.
"What the heck Naruto?!"
"That wasn't me! My shuriken…"
Suddenly he looked at the shuriken he thought had just fallen out of his pocket during Hot Shot's crazy turns. But he watched as it transformed into Highwire.
"You! What are you doing here?"
"I have heard you often enough from my spot in the ground to know how you'd act, Naruto. I figured you'd need my help to find my friend so I transformed and placed myself amongst your shuriken and kunai."
"So wait, does this mean you know where it is?"
"Yes. In fact, its just a few more minutes from here."
Hot Shot let out a sigh of relief, "Sweet. Thanks for the help Highwire!"
A few minutes later, just as Highwire had said, he suddenly shouted, "STOP!"
Hot Shot slammed the brakes. This in turn caused Naruto, who had not been wearing a seatbelt because he had never heard of or need one before, to slam face first into his windshield.
"OW! What the-"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I had to stop you because…"
"It's okay Highwire. I can see it."
Naruto was still rubbing his sore head, "Man, what are you guys talking…oh."
In front of them loomed a giant side of a rock. Hot Shot had stopped just inches from it.
Naruto and Highwire got out and Naruto began measuring the distance with his hand between Hot Shot's bumper and the rock.
"Wow, that was sure close!"
Hot Shot transformed, "Yeah, thanks for that Highwire."
"Oh, well, uh, you're very welcome but I didn't know the rock was here. I meant stop because it's there."
Hot Shot and Naruto both looked up to where Highwire was pointing. There, embedded in the rock, was a green object with a giant M on it.
"Highwire, you did it!"
"I'll say it did it."
They all spun around and found that the Decepticons had surrounded them.
