Alright, so here's Conjob! Hope you all enjoy! Here is kind of my point of perspective with WheelJack. I liked him in Conjob because he beat up Starscream (so awesome!). In Loose Cannons he was way different then the previous episode and in Hurt, I hated him for trying to take revenge and nearly get Miko killed. Leave her alone!
BY THE WAY, OMG I WATCHED THE SEASON PREMIERE AND IT WAS AWESOME!
Chapter 10: Conjob
Sometimes I wish there were no guys on this planet. Today was that kind of thinking day or whatever. It was after school and I was pretty excited to see the bots again. Optimus and the others said that they were 'making something' for us and today was the day they'd show. I couldn't wait!
When I saw Optimus, I nearly ran to him. I was just so excited to see the surprise. I was about a few feet away when...
"Grace!" I shut my eyes and slowly turned around. There stood before me Henry and all his glory. He was smiling.
"Hey, what's up?" he asked.
"Nothing much. Just been hanging." I said. He looked kind of sad in a way. I crossed my arms.
"Look, Henry, I gotta go," I said. His smile faded. "Okay. See ya." he said, putting his hand up. I got into Optimus and crashed on the seats. He shut the door and drove to base.
"I hate school." I finally said.
"Why is that?" asked Optimus. I got up and he strapped a seatbelt around me. I grunted.
"Popularity crap." I answered. With that, he didn't ask me anything until we got to base. When we arrived, Luc was jumping around like crazy.
"Eek! I can't wait!" she shouted at me.
"Can you wait five seconds?" I asked. She shook her head. "No!" she shouted.
Em was shaking her head. She grabbed her shoulder. "Calm...down," she said. "You're gonna have a heart attack."
Luc took a deep breath and sighed. "Should I be doing some yoga, too?" she asked. Then, she turned towards Bulkhead. "So what's the surprise?" she asked.
"You're gonna like it, Lucy..." he began, before..."Bulk! Call me Luc!" she yelled. He rolled his optics.
"Optimus," said Ratchet, gathering us around him. "I'm receiving a signal on a restricted band. It appears to be coming from a starship inside this solar system."
He tapped some stuff and a thing flying around the earth appeared, "It's an Autobot identification beakon." he said, a little shock in his voice.
"So...there are more 'bots out there?" I asked.
"The mass's scattered throughout the galaxies when Cybertron finally went dark, but Cons have been known to bait traps with false beacons." Arcee said.
"Unknown vessel, this is Autobot outpost omega one. Identify yourself." asked Optimus.
:I've had warmer welcomes from Decepticon combat bragades." said the 'bot. Bulkhead gasped.
"Wheeljack?! You old 'con crusher, what are doing all the way out here?" he exclaimed, moving aside all the other 'bots.
:Bulkhead? That you? What's with all the security?"
"The rock we're on is crawling with 'cons. How soon can you get here and even the odds?"
:Sometime tomorrow, if I put metal to the pedal."
"There's another 'bot coming? That's awesome." said Luc.
"Wheeljack, I know him by reputation only," said Optimus. "Can you verify his voice print?"
"He is 1,000 percent the real deal, Optimus." answered Bulkhead.
They turned to the monitors, "We will send landing coordinates, Wheeljack. Safe journey." said Optimus.
"See ya soon buddy, I'll make sure you get a proper welcome." said Bulkhead. The comm link ended.
"So, who's the boyfriend?" asked Arcee.
"Oh me and Jacky go way back. We were part of the same warrior unit, The Wreckers. Which means the 'cons will wish he had never found us," he explained.
"Sounds awesome! Can't wait to meet him!" said Em.
"Okay, the surprise NOW!" yelled Luc. Ratchet grabbed something tiny and put in on the table.
"There you are," he said. They were those phones that go in your ear. We stared dumbfounded at them. "Phones?" I asked.
"These are your own comm links." he said. That made us feel better. We grabbed one each and stuck them in our ears.
"Stylish, or what?" said Luc. "They will allow you to communicate through our comm links so say if you are in danger, there is no need for a cell phone." explained Ratchet. "Just press that button.
I pressed it. "Hello?" I asked. Em and Luc jumped. "Dude, I totally heard that!" yelled Luc.
"We all did." said Arcee. "Sweetness!" yelled Luc. They left and I went to bed, putting on my same nighttime apparel, thinking of that Wheeljack guy.
I woke the next morning late. Crud, Wheeljacks's coming! I yelled in my head. I got up not bothering to change. I ran to the main room and Luc was pissed.
"Dude, come on! Wheeljacks coming and you're gonna sleep? Girl..." she said. I shook my head and joined them. Ratchet was attempting to launch the ground bridge, but after the Scraplets the equitments been more shittier than it use to be.
Turns out Wheeljacks landing across the world. Bulkhead was pacing back and forth the whole day.
"Dude, you look super psyched! Never seen ya like that before!" said Luc, eager to see Wheeljack as he was.
"Oh, you're gonna love Jacky. We were like brothers! And tonight we are gonna party!" cried Bulkhead.
"This is gonna be awesome!" yelled Luc. Em and I exchanged glances. Then, the alarm went off. Red signals appeared on the screen chasing a single blue one.
"'Cons!" yelled Em.
"Open the bridge, Ratchet! We're missing all the action!" cried Bulkhead. He activated it.
"I'll prepare sick bay." he said. Bulkhead laughed.
"Who for, the cons? This is Wheeljack we're talking about." said Bulkhead. Then the three of them ran it. Along with Lucy!
"Lucy! No!" I cried. But she didn't listen, she went. I face palmed and waited. Then, they came in with a white and partially red autobot in his hands. He set her down and she jumped in excitement.
Optimus approached the Wheeljack.
"Optimus Prime. It's a privilege," Wheeljack said.
"Likewise, soldier. What have you to report from your long journey?" Optimus asked.
"Been bouncing from rock to rock searching for signs of friend of foe. Now I find both," Wheeljack remarked.
"We are few but strong. We have suffered losses. But we have grown." he looked at us and smiled. "And we would relish welcoming a new member into our fold."
"I would be honored." said Wheeljack.
"Then let's get this party started!" yelled Bulkhead and hit Wheeljack on the back causing him to stumble forward. Wheeljack turned back around and they bumped chests.
"Oh joy." Ratchet said sarcastically.
"Come on Jacky, show me what ya got!" yelled Bulkhead as Wheeljack flung a large ball at him. This has been going on for a while now.
"What's this game?" I asked Arcee.
"It's called lobbing. It's a favorite pass time on Cybertron." she answered. Then, Luc did the craziest thing.
She jumped down and cried, "Bulk! Pass!" He was hesitant. "I'm not so sure, even with your power!" he said.
"Don't be a wuss! C'mon Bulkhead! Show me what you got!" she yelled. Bulkhead looked at the ball and finally decided to chuck it. It hurled to her and she caught it, scooting her back a little.
"Ha ha!" she cried. "Hey Wheeljack!" She twirled and then chucked it at him. He caught it, but ended up running into Ratchet. They talked a little, but them proceeded to lob.
I turned to Em. She was studying Wheeljack. "Don't ask me why, but I gotta bad feeling about this Wheeljack guy." she said. I moved beside her.
"I do too. But let's have fun for now, okay?" I said. She turned to me and smiled. "Fine," she said.
They then told stories. They were okay, but Wheeljack was acting all shy and quiet. After a while, he went with Luc to get a tour of the place.
"Everything alright?" asked Arcee.
"Yeah. Just out of sorts, I guess," Bulkhead shrugged, obviously unsure about something.
"Don't tell me you're jealous," Arcee teased.
"That Lucy's making a new friend? Come on! Something…something's just not right about Wheeljack," Bulkhead exclaimed.
"Bulk, really? He's travelled galaxies. You haven't seen him for centuries. He could just be rocket lagged or… rogue bots do change, you know?" Arcee reassured.
"Not Jacky," Bulkhead commented.
"Almost there," Ratchet proclaimed as he continued working the damaged groundbridge controls.
"Look. I know Wheeljack better than anyone," Bulkhead exclaimed.
"Hey. What are you guys talking about?" Wheeljack asked as he and Luc got back.
"I was just telling all the guys about you and me…at the battle of Darkmount Pass," Bulkhead answered.
"That's a heck of a story," Wheeljack said.
"Yeah. Tell it," Bulkhead demanded.
"Bulk' c'mon." said Luc.
"Luc, stay out of this!" Bulkhead warned.
"Bulkhead, easy," said Arcee.
"I'm not sure I..." started Wheeljack.
"Tell it!" Bulkhead repeated.
"Fine. If you wanna live in the past, Bulkhead," Wheeljack finally said, "The Wreckers were trapped between a Decepticon patrol and a smelting pit. The 'cons were vicious, bearing down on us with everything they had. Me and Bulkhead engaged the enemy. Left them for scrap. Then I made us a way out using their backsides as stepping stones to cross the molten metal. Isn't that how it happened?" There was a pause.
"Yeah. That's exactly how it happened…except for one little thing," Bulkhead suddenly said, making Wheeljack panic a little, "I wasn't there."
Bum bum BUM!
Ratchet stopped working on the ground bridge and turned to us.
"I'd already left The Wreckers to join up with Optimus. But you would know that if all you did was access Wheeljack's public service record!" Bulkhead yelled as he poked Wheeljacks chest.
Bulkhead, what does that have to do with-" I said before the 'con scooped me up and crashed into Ratchet. I let out a yell. My hands were caught in Wheeljack's hand, so my power was useless.
"Don't move, or I'll squeeze her into pulp." said the 'con, in a different voice. He squeezed tightly, letting out a small eep from me. The face on Bulkhead spelled rage.
Ratchet was about to move when the 'con spotted him.
"Guys, a little help over here!" I yelled.
"Decepticon coward! Let the girl go, and face me!" cried Bulkhead.
"Don't fret. Plenty of fighting to come." the 'con said.
"What about the real Wheeljack, where's he!" I yelled at him. "Quiet!" he yelled, tightening his grip even more. I could hear the cracking of my ribs and my heart aching for air. The pain was horrific.
"I expect Lord Starscream has been making sport of him..." He then turned to the ground bridge and started pressing some buttons. "About time!" he complained and turned on the ground bridge.
Not another kidnaping! I thought. I kept gasping for air. My lungs felt like they were going to pop at any moment. He made his way to the bridge.
"Let's get this party started." he yelled. Something had gone through. That something hit him. I was knocked out of his hands and into the palm of Bulkheads. I let out a gasp of air. Luc and Em came to my side. My chest was still in pain.
The something was another Wheeljack. A fight began between them, ending with one on the ground. Bulkhead said something, but everything blurred and I was flown into darkness.
I gasped awake. I coughed and weezed my ass out until air went into my mouth. A hand was placed on my shoulder. I looked up at the towering, yet kind Optimus.
"It is alright, Grace. You are safe." he said. I smiled a little and resumed normal breathing.
"GRACIE!" yelled Luc. She ran and hugged me, resulting in pain. I let out a wince.
"Lucy...can't breathe!" I yelled. She loosened her grip.
"OHMYGOSH!WETHOUGHTYOUWEREDEAD!THATCONWASBLOWNTOSC RAPBECAUSEOFTHEACTUALWHEELJACK!HELEFTEARLIERSOTSFO RYOU!OHMYGODAREYOUOKAY!" she yelled hysterically.
"I...am...okay." I said slowly.
"Your rib cage has been severly damaged, but it is healing rapidally and you should expect a full recovery." said Ratchet.
"Thanks Ratchet." I said. I leaned back and sighed. This is a normal day at base? Things are just starting to heat up.
Finally! Sorry for the little delay! These new episodes are getting more kickass everyday! Bye bye! ;)
