Battle of the Cops

What started out as a suggestion turned out to be an all out war

Prowl came back online and almost glitched again at what he heard. "It wasn't our fault we got arrested," Sideswipe whined.

"Yeah," Sunstreaker grumbled. "We were trying to scare off that Decepticreep police car mimic and he called the police on us." Optimus Prime looked as if he would very much like to put the twins in stasis and Prowl didn't blame his commander.

"Get out, all three of you," Ratchet barked, shoving the twins and an exasperated Prime out of the med bay with some difficulty. Then the medic turned to Prowl saying, "Do you know why you glitched this time?"

"Something about energon leaking all over me even though I wasn't damaged," Prowl said, searching his memory files for the event.

"Before you glitch again it was glow in the dark paint," Ratchet said hastily. "It took me five hours to get it off you. Both sets of twins swear it wasn't them."

"Barricade," Prowl growled, sitting up.

"What?" the medic asked, soundly annoyed.

"He wasn't pleased that I happened to pull him over as Megatron was going by," the Autobot SIC explained. "Am I clear to go."

"Yes," Ratchet said absentmindedly, watching the mech go with a strange look on his face plates. "Barricade," he muttered, shaking his head and going back to work.

The aforementioned Decepticon was out patrolling again. He had already pulled over two speeders and was now simply enjoying the peace and quiet outside the city. Unfortunately that wasn't to last. Knock Out came flying by Barricade and he took off after the annoying red Decepticon only to almost get rear ended by one of the twins. Sideswipe cursed, an unusual action for a car, and whirled on the police mimic who, to his surprise, was already chasing after Knock Out. "Coward," the red mech jeered. causing Barricade to spin around and transform to his full height.

"What did you say?" he growled angrily.

"I said you're a coward," Sideswipe proclaimed gleefully. Barricade lunged for the melee warrior only to see Sideswipe transform and speed down the road. Throwing caution to the wind the Decepticon followed him, too furious to think straight. That was when a brilliant flash of yellow almost rammed him from the side. Barricade cursed silently as he swerved and went flying off the side of the road to transform, red optics blazing. So Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were ready for round three? He'd show them. That was when the unexpected happened. A metal hand slammed down on the back of his neck, injecting something into a wire that instantly made his vision begin to fade. The last thing he saw before he went into stasis was the twins' smirks.
