Episode 11: Delinquent Combaticons

A new gang was coming into town...they were notorious troublemakers and known to be extremely territorial. They were known as the Combaticons...five members consisting of the leader Onslaught, Brawl, Vortex, Blast Off and Swindle. They have been to jail several times for fighting, stealing and vandalizing property. One evening, Bumblebee was racing along a deserted road looking for new adventures.

"Man...I'm so glad I got friends to back me up. Who knows what will happen if I ran into them." Bee thought as he kept racing.

While he continued to talk to himself...he zoomed up a hill, and when he got to the top...he skidded to a halt. There in front of him were the Combaticons blocking his way. This was his favorite road to ride...and they just claimed it. Onslaught, Brawl and Vortex were in the front with Brawl playing some instrumental music loudly on his radio and Blast Off and Swindle stood behind them. Bumblebee transformed and just looked at each one of them before Onslaught spoke up.

"Sorry kid, road's closed!" Onslaught sneered while Brawl nodded.

Bumblebee looked at the road behind them and was confused.

"Look's okay to me." Bee shrugged.

"NO! He means it's closed to YOU!" Brawl explained.

Bumblebee decided to have some fun seeing as they weren't beating on him yet.

"What's that? I can't hear you!" Bee said putting a hand up to his non-existent ear.

"I SAID IT'S CLOSED TO YOU!" Brawl spoke louder.

"Nope, still getting nothing!" Bee shook his head.

Brawl suddenly shut his music off and growled. Vortex spoke up.

"He said get lost bug!" Vortex pointed behind Bee.

Bumblebee was starting to think these guys were jokes. He honestly couldn't take them seriously.

"Oh what are ya gonna do? Slice me and dice me with your blades?" Bee pointed at Vortex's blades.

"HEY WAIT A-" Brawl stood a step forward but was cut off by Bee.

"Tell ya what guys, you may be stronger than me...but are ya faster?" Bee challenged.

"You challenging us?" Onslaught snarled.

"No...I'm challenging YOU!" Bee pointed at Onslaught.

The other four look at their leader shocked while Onslaught cracked his knuckles in anger.

"Me. You. Drag race down that road behind you all the way to my house. Right now. And your little brute friends can watch. When I win, this path will belong to me again." Bumblebee explained.

Then Bumblebee noticed Onslaught was wearing several boost tanks.

"Oh and you can throw in one of your boost cans, seriously do you really need that much boost?" Bee asked.

The Combaticons looked at each other again before they gathered in front of Bumblebee threateningly. Onslaught got in Bee's face.

"Okay, lets do this." Onslaught accepted.

The road they were racing for was an old dirt road full of bumps, potholes, several hills and trees. The long stretch of road eventually led to Bumblebee's neighborhood. Bumblebee and Onslaught lined up in robot mode.

"Ready to get beaten?" Onslaught asked clenching his fists.

"Whatever, I'm gonna leave you in the dust." Bee scoffed.

They transformed and revved their engines while Vortex held up a green flag.

"READY! SET! GO!" Vortex shook the flag.

The two sped off towards onto the dangerous road as dust rose all around them. Bumblebee never drove this fast down this road and bounced over the hills and dodged the trees. Onslaught was having no problem and laughed at Bee. As they finally left all the trees, Bee felt relieved.

"Don't think this is over yet!" Onslaught warned and splashed Bee with some mud.

"AUGH! REALLY?" Bee yelled swerving around.

Soon they headed downhill which was very steep. They both jumped hills sending them high and they created even more dust. So much dust rose that Bumblebee could barely see in front of him. But in that dust, he rammed into Onslaught who was also caught in the dust forcing them into robot mode and tumbled down the hill. When they reached the bottom, Bumblebee jumped away from Onslaught and raced ahead.

"NO!" Onslaught growled and chased after him.

Bumblebee could see Onslaught catching up fast in his rearview mirror. He let lose oil from behind and Onslaught slipped around in it. Vortex, Blast Off, Brawl and Swindle could not believe their leader was losing. Onslaught regained control and angrily charged Bumblebee. The dirt road eventually shifted into a more clean road that was leading straight towards the neighborhood. The other Combaticons followed closely behind cheering on Onslaught. The two sped by houses and mechs as they were nearly at Bee's house. They were currently neck and neck.

"You may have gotten this far...but I'm gonna win!" Onslaught laughed.

"Not in my town you don't!" Bee said kicking it into high gear.

Bumblebee rammed into Onslaught hard sending the brute scrambling for control. Onslaught retaliated by ramming Bee but didn't see the incoming ramp that was stranded on the sidewalk. Bee was shot into the air while Onslaught laughed.

"NICE LANDING LOSER!" Onslaught yelled.

"Uh...Onslaught!" Brawl said.

Onslaught gasped before he slammed into a pole sending him on his side sliding. He transformed and clawed the ground trying to stop. When he did, he saw feet in front of him. He got up to see Bumblebee standing there chuckling. Bumblebee had won after he was propelled onto the roof of his house.

"NO!" Onslaught clenched his fists.

The others came up and transformed without a word. They all looked at Bumblebee who was soon joined by Mirage, Jazz and Sideswipe. Vortex, Blast Off, Swindle and Brawl looked upset, and even Swindle's lower lip quivered.

"Okay...boost tank!" Bumblebee said holding out a hand.

Onslaught said nothing and grabbed a boost tank and gave it to Bee. But the Combaticons continued to stare at him without a word.

"Aw come on guys don't be so hard on yourself...you know what, go try to relax, go take a drive." Bumblebee suggested.

Onslaught shook his head and clenched his fists. He wanted to punch Bumblebee so hard in the face but he resisted knowing Bumblebee had more friends than just those three. He simply bent down to Bee's face.

"This isn't over Bumblebee!" Onslaught vowed before turning to his gang. "LET'S BOUNCE!"

All but Brawl transformed and left. Brawl gave Bumblebee a death glare and shook his head before transforming and leaving himself. Bumblebee felt a hand go on his shoulder.

"Nice job, you sure put them in their place...for now. Say, why don't you start hanging with us more?" Mirage offered while Jazz and Sideswipe nodded.

"Really, thanks I will." Bee nodded.

Bumblebee looked back down the road where the Combaticons went...he indeed hadn't seen the last of them...
