Episode 7: Drunk But Rich

It has been 3 whole days and nobody has heard from Bumblebee or Barricade. The mansion lights were on meaning nobody was gone. But they never came out. Many have started to believe it was haunted. Soundwave, Shockwave and Starscream were starting to get worried. On the fourth day, Starscream decided to pay a visit to the mansion to see for himself. Outside the mansion, there were a few empty energon cubes and splatters of energon. Starscream hoped they weren't killed or anything like that. As he walked up to the door he bent down and scooped up some of the energon with a claw and tasted it. It wasn't fresh energon, it wasn't synthetic energon, it was...dried high-grade.

"What the-"

Starscream opened the door to see more energon cubes scattered around, but no Bumblebee or Barricade. He looked around, claws in front of him defensively. It was quiet...too quiet. He had to remember that the living room wasn't at the front of the mansion, but at the back for some reason. Traveling through the halls, he crept quietly and slowly in case they heard him. Finally, upon reaching the living room, he could see what looked like Bumblebee spread across the floor on his back sleeping with energon splattered all over him. Barricade was on a couch also alseep with energon dripping from his claws and mouth.

"What happened here?" Starscream wondered.

Starscream was finally relieved when Bumblebee's hands twitched. Starscream ran over and knelt down beside him.

"Hey Bumblebee, you okay?" Starscream asked.

But Bumblebee looked dazed and...drunk. He looked around and seemed happy about something. He looked at Starscream with blurry vision and cocked his head to the side.

"Oh hi, uh...Silverbolt!" Bumblebee waved stupidly.

"Silverbolt? I'm not Silverbolt, I'm Starscream." Starscream said remembering how Silverbolt and his brothers Air Raid and Jetfire used to pick on him when they were younglings.

"Oh...hey Barry...Barry...BARRY!" Bumblebee yelled, his voice kinda scratchy.

"Shut up B...bu...bu...Bumbly!" Barricade couldn't make out his brother's name as he woke up and swung his arms wildly in the air.

"Alright, why is there high-grade in here? You guys don't drink!" Starscream said.

But the brothers ignored him, instead, Barricade slipped to the floor and barrel-rolled until he layed on his back beside Bumblebee. Starscream just stood there in front of them shocked as they began to laugh.

"Hey Barry..." Bumblebee slapped Barricade's chest.

"Yeah?" Barricade asked closing his eyes.

"24."

Both started to snicker while also trying to control their laughter.

"What are you guys talking about?" Starscream asked annoyed.

"24!" Bumblebee said again and they brothers laughed.

Starscream face-palmed knowing this wasn't going anywhere. Then Barricade spoke up.

"Hey Bee, I just thought of something funnier than 24." Barricade said biting down on his bottom lip.

"Let me hear it!" Bee said as tears rolled down his optics.

"25."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Both brothers grappled onto each other and rolled around in laughter until it randomly turned into a wrestling match. Starscream gave up and left the mansion ready to get the sticky energon off his feet. This was all very strange. Later after a shower he told Shockwave and Soundwave.

"That is weird. But why?" Shockwave wondered.

"Did you check to see where they might have got it from?" Soundwave asked.

"No...I just had to get out of there before I heard another weird Spongebob joke." Starscream groaned as his wings shuttered.

"I see...he-he...24!" Soundwave snickered.

"Hey Soundwave...you know w-"

"ENOUGH!" Starscream yelled angrily. "We need to find out how they got that energon and keep them from getting it."

Just then, Whirl came over snapping his pincers in anger.

"Hey Whirl, what's wrong?" Starscream asked.

"I just went to get some energon from the store, but Ratchet warned me that the fresh energon they put in was contaminated with high-grade. The energon had been found in a newly dug mine. Nobody knows who sold it to the stores...but all I know is...many mechs were infected."

"Like Bumblebee and Barricade!" Soundwave said.

"Exactly!" Whirl agreed.

"I say we destroy the mine so we can get our friends back." Soundwave said.

"YEAH!" They all shouted.

"Wait...where is the mine?" Shockwave asked.

"It's located behind my house. But I never trusted the energon straight from the mines...I wait till they are COMPLETELY de-contaminated." Whirl said with venom in his voice.

When they reached the mine, they looked down to see countless piles of energon cubes...possibly already contaminated...or soon to be. Upon closer inspection, they could see it was a darker purple with a bit of green mixed in. Shockwave transformed and shot a blast into the hole and everyone was thrown back by a huge purple explosion. Now the mechs were covered in purple dust. But it blended with Shockwave.

"Well that was fast!" Soundwave said.

"Yeah, OH CRAP WE DIDN'T GET RID OF THE ENERGON FROM THE MANSION!" Starscream yelled.

"GET IT!" Whirl screamed.

The four mechs charged the mansion and began to destroy every last bit of the bad energon. And they decided to take Bumblebee and Barricade to the hospital where Ratchet began to drain all the contaminated energon out of them...and nearly every person in town. By the next morning, Bee and Barricade had a huge hangover. They layed on their own beds not wanting to leave their rooms for an entire week. They were pissed that they had a massive processor-ache, but glad to have the energon out of their system. Then...a smirk grew on Barricade's face.

"Hey Bumblebee!"

"Huh?"

"24!"

"He-he...24!"

"SHUT UP!" Starscream's voice could be heard from down the street at his own house.

Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream, Whirl, Barricade and Bumblebee then realized something...where were they going to get their energon now? The stores were shut down until fresh energon was brought in. Of course there was the little markets downtown...but even the energon there was expensive.

"So...anyone want to go to Iacon and get some from Jazz and Mirage?" Barricade offered.

"Sounds like a good plan!" Starscream said and the others agreed.

"Yeah, let's get...24...cubes each!" Bumblebee snickers with the others.

"DAMN IT BUMBLEBEE!" Starscream snarls.

End of episode 7.


Me: I may have overused that joke too much!

Randall: YA THINK?

Me: Anyways, I think we should give some of that tainted energon to the CDA.

Randall: You trying to kill them?

Me: ...

Randall: Striker?

Me: ...

Randall: Oh dear! Uh, stayed tuned for the next episode everyone! I hope!

CDA: (Gulps)

Randall: Oh and sorry if this episode was rushed, it was late and Striker was very tired!
