'Kay, this chapter's going to be mostly about the autobots. I'm not really familiar with the autobots, and more or less focus on decepticons, so the characters might be acting strangely and OOC. If you have ANY tips on how to make messed up characters less messed up, I'll be happy to listen to them.
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers or any songs and bands mentioned or Indiana Jones, which inspired the beginning of this chapter, sorta :D
Optimus watched as Teletraan 1 displayed local news reports and searched for any decepticon activity. So far so good. Then Teletraan spotted the decepticons about ninety miles south leaving the area with a good fifty cubes of energy or more. He rubbed his forehead, regretful that they'd just now known about the decepticons. Jazz walked into the room seconds later, blaring some earth music of some sort.
'It's stupid, contagious
To be broke and famous
Can someone please save us from punk rock 101~'
''Jazz, can you please turn your music down?''
''Sure thing!'' Jazz said, and the music died down until you couldn't hear it unless you were right beside him.
''What were you listening to anyways?''
''This cool earth band called 'Bowling for Soup'''
''Bowling for Soup?'' Optimus repeated, confused. Jazz nodded happily before asking what was going on.
''The decepticons made off with fifty cubes or more before we even knew it''
''Oh. That ain't good.''
''No, it is not.''
''Well, what can we do now?''
''Nothing, unfortunately'' Optimus said as his attention turned back to the screen. It now had the ocean where the decepticon's ship had crashed. The decepticons all entered, but his attention was drawn else where. Fifteen minutes later, Rumble and Frenzy also approached, looking bloody and haggard.
''Teletraan 1, focus on the two decepticon cassettes and zoom in'' Optimus told the computer. Teletraan one complied.
''Well, would ya look at that?'' Jazz said. It had focused on the twins, and they were covered in blood. Optimus was worried about what kind of blood. If they'd attacked a human. The twins proceeded to splash and swim in the water until they had no blood left on them. Then, they swam down deep, probably to one of the other entrances.
::Sunstreaker, Sideswipe. I have a mission for you::
The groans of displeasure could be heard both by comm. link and down the hall. They walked in anyways.
''You two, I want you to keep tabs on Soundwave's two cassettes, Rumble and Frenzy''
''Awwww, why us?'' Sideswipe complained.
''Because I assigned you. I want you to keep close tabs on their movement and behavior whenever they exit the nemesis and come on shore.''
''Yes sir'' they pouted before walking out of the base and down to the cliff line and then climbing down it to hide behind some rocks. They practically dove behind the rocks. Looks like they were going to have a busy mission all ready. The twin mini-cons walked onto the sandy shore and sat down on some jutting rocks at the edge of the water.
''Yeesh, Megatron was in a bad mood when we got there, wasn't he?'' Rumble said
''It probably doesn't help that we kind of just disappeared off the maps last night''
''Yeah. We didn't help at all''
''We couldn't!''
''I know, but Megatron doesn't know that''
''Yeah, true. Hey, what do you think Starscream is going to do about this? I mean, he isn't exactly the most trust able mech to be around''
''I know. But we won't know until he does something''
''Yeah''
''Hey, what's that?'' Rumble said, his attention drawn towards them it seemed. The two mini-cons walked towards them, and at the moment the two thought their cover had been blown, Rumble leaned down and picked a piece of rock.
''Hey, this thing is cool! Wonder if there's anything else like this around''
''I dunno. Let's look!'' They scurried around, looking for more odd looking black rocks. Frenzy found a vine growth and pulled at them only to fall forwards when he relaxed.
''Whoa! Hey Rumble, come check this out!'' Frenzy yelled, hoping his brother could hear him.
''Yeah what is IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!'' Rumble yelled as he also fell forwards. He landed with a splash in the same water Frenzy was in. Swimming back to surface, he looked around at the glittery black rocks.
''Whoa! It's like some kind of hidden cavern!''
''Like? I'd say it IS a hidden cavern''
The autobot twins edged in, determined not to slip, and managed to get on the bank of the water and hide behind some stalagmites. The two decepticons splashed around in the water before swimming onto the bank.
''Earth is a nice planet. Sometimes I hate the fact that we so often destroy it''
''I know. Ugh, we sound like those pansy little autobots''
''No, they always want to protect it and they don't like fighting. Those are the two things that separate us and the autobots''
''Well, yeah, I guess you're right. But if we destroy this planet, we won't be able to find places like this anymore''
''And then pretend its some kind of Indiana Jones adventure movie?''
''Exactly! Hey, what if there are artifacts here?''
''There probably are. I heard once that Native Americans buried their deceased in caverns like this. And the Spanish settlers also placed their deceased and their treasures in places like these.''
''So you're saying that more than likely we're going to find something interesting?''
''Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying''
''Wait, when did you do research on old Earth cultures and customs?''
''Well, whenever we had spare time, I would do research on it. After all, if we live here, shouldn't we know a bit about the way it works?''
''Yeah, that makes sense''
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were a little amazed at what they'd discovered about the two cassetticons. So, they aren't lifeless drones after all? Sideswipe was trying to move closer to them since they were walking, but apparently the ground didn't want them to be discreet, as for the fact it gave out and Sideswipe was plunged into freezing cold waters. How did it not affect those cons? Speaking of cons, they spun around and were in battle mode. Sunstreaker helped haul Sideswipe out of the water, and they all got ready for a fight. and a fight they got. Abruptly, Sunstreaker kicked Rumble a good five feet away. Frenzy and Sideswipe weren't having and luck at fighting at all, seeing as soon as they would charge at one another, the ground would give out and they'd each go crashing down into the water. Rumble activated his pile drivers just as Frenzy bobbed up out of the water.
''No Rumble! You'll- cause a cave in'' he said the last part just as the only entrance/exit that they knew of was sealed off. All for of them brightened their optics to let them be able to see.
''Rumble...'' Frenzy said in a dangerously low voice.
''Yes?'' he asked as innocently as he could.
''I...Am going to KILL YOU!'' Frenzy said as he pounced on Rumble, the two of them yelling, no- snarling at each other. The autobot twins just stared for a minute before grabbing each of them.
''Hey, hey break it up! Your loud mouths will be enough to start another cave in!'' Sideswipe said with a scowl. The two cassettes calmed down, but continued to glare at everyone in the place. The cassettes were placed on the ground minutes later.
''Okay, how do we get out of here? I'd much rather continue this fight in the light of day, that way I can tell if I've got hold to a main energon line'' Frenzy growled.
''On who?'' Rumble asked.
''On any of you!'' he said, as if it was obvious.
''Okay, let's just settle to have a truce until we're out of here, okay?'' Sunstreaker suggested. His answers were mostly grumbles and complaints, but everyone agreed. He paused for a moment.
''Our Comm.s are on the fritz. Yeah, we've got to find our own way out''
They walked for a good fifteen minutes, passing time by throwing insults at each other, but they finally got tired of doing even that.
''Yeesh, how big is this place?'' Rumble asked no one in particular, as he so often did.
''I don't know. Pretty big, that's for sure'' Sideswipe said, partaking in the first non-hostile conversation they'd ever had.
''Hey look, Glowworms'' Frenzy pointed to the ceiling(?) of the cavern. Sure enough, the little green/blue insects were all over the place, showing off a gentle glow that the water reflected.
''Hound would have a blast in this place'' Sideswipe said, taking holoscans of the eerily beautiful sight.
''If they poop on me, I will not hesitate to step on every single on of them!'' Sunstreaker said indignantly.
''Ah, shut your vocalizer and enjoy the view'' Rumble said, eyes dancing with joy.
''You know, we never would have discovered this had you not caused a cave in''
''I know''
''That doesn't mean I'm not still mad at you''
''I know that too''
''Hey, look at the walls! Ancient cave paintings!'' Frenzy exclaimed, sounding all for the world like a kid at his first carnival. The glow from the worms did shine light on the walls and they could see the images of crudely drawn horses and other things. Still, it wasn't the way they were drawn, but the stories they told. The autobots looked down at the little cons and almost thought they could be good friends. But then, their minds wandered back to all the horrible things that the two did so many times. They shivered at the thought of having the two turn on them. Because even though they were small, they were still strong and had taken them down more times than could be counted. They had a truce for now though, so they would make good of it. They had no idea the same exact things were going through the little cons' minds.
The two autobots weren't so bad, Rumble decided. Frenzy had also decided the same thing. They were still walking, no longer looking for an exit ( though it would be awesome if they found one) , but merely looking for the things they could find. As they were walking, something yet again caught Frenzy's attention.
''Hey, look at that yellow shiny light!'' he said, going towards the odd glow. The others followed, and when they got to it they all uttered the same exact one syllable word.
''Whoa...''
Kay, bet you're all wondering 'Why the heck are those four getting along so easily?'
My answer : Wolves like to associate in packs, so i decided they would not attack another without the need to or being told by a higher ranking wolf ( which would be just about all the other cons, in wolf terms) so there, that's my answer. Oh, and this is going to be a 'to be continued' chapter. Eh...
