Ch 14: The 12:00 AM Duel

I needed to figure out something to replace midnight with so… I replaced it with what its actually called! Ain't I brilliant? Any who lets kick things off with some stuff…. MEOW MIX MEOW MIX MEOW MIX MEOW MIX MEOW MIX! Erm… sorry… I've been really random lately… so anywho… you people don't want to give me ideas, do you? Not one neomail on neopets or one single IM on AIM… you all loathe me now… maybe I shouldn't even submit this chapter… ah, what the hell. I'LL DO WHAT I WANT/does the river dance and gets maniacal ideas/.

" Your kidding… don't tell me your not because you ARE!"

Iron Hide had just returned to the Gathering Room and told Wing Saber what happened. Wing Saber was hyperventilating and waving his arms wildly.

" BUT- YOU-AND-BUT- you must be the youngest player in.."

" 100 years. Boltran told me. But eh, she's an old crack pot. What does she know?" Iron Hide laughed.

" I dare you to say that to her face…" Wing Saber said, walking over to the exit.

" Are you kidding! She'd turn me into a fish taco or something!"

" Fish tacos rock. I'd probably eat you."

Iron Hide growled and charged over to Televizzle.

" Televizzle, open up! We wanna get out of this stupid tower already!" Iron Hide yelled.

" No diggity, no doubt hommie G." Televizzle said, letting down a ladder.

" Okay…" Iron Hide mumbled, climbing up.

" But honestly, Iron Hide, you are like, the luckiest bot I've ever met!" Wing Saber groaned, getting off the ladder.

" I guess so..." Iron Hide laughed.

The two started to walk down the hall, aimlessly, when Iron Hide was tackled from behind.

" CROSS WISE! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Wing Saber yelled.

" Ease up, little bro," Cross Wise laughed, helping Iron Hide up," I was just welcoming the newest member of the Muffinbiggle team!"

" Yeah, Wingy," said another Transformer that looked like Cross Wise." Don't get your wiring tangled up."

" I told you never to call me that, Down Shift..." Wing Saber growled. " Anyways, Iron Hide, these are my idiotic brothers, Cross Wise and Down Shift. They're on the team too."

" Yeah, but we're smackers. We just make sure that your head doesn't get knocked off." Cross Wise said.

" But, it can be VERY funny..." Down Shift said evily.

" Well, we're gonna go try and blow up Side Way's lab again, then get our asses saved by Fado again. That dude ain't half bad..." Cross Wise said, heading down the hall.

" Yeah, see ya at practice, Iron Hide!" Down Shift cackled, walking down the hall with a box of fire works.

" Wow. You're right... they ARE weird..." Iron Hide said.

" Yeah... but you get used to their stupidity after awile." Wing Saber groaned. " Soon they'll start giving you a nickname... like Irony... wait..."

The two started to walk down the hall again, thinking of a good nickname, when they saw Galvatron. He was walking down the hall with his two groupies, when he saw Iron Hide. The two locked optics and walked towards each other.

" So... still hanging out with losers I see, Iron Hide," Galvatron sneered.

" It seems that you're a lot braver when your on the ground with your cronies." Iron Hide said, smirking.

" Well, I can take you, any time," Megatron scowled. " How's tonight? At Midnight. A duel."

" You mean with those Yu-Gi-Oh card things?" Iron Hide asked.

" What do you think I meant? With swords?"

" Well... yeah."

" Whatever. Just meet me in the Trophy room at midnight. We'll settle this then..." Galvatron growled, stalking away.

" What did he actually mean, Wing Saber?" Iron Hide asked.

" You know, you just fight eachother with your paint brushes. Conjur stuff up... yada yada... but the most you two will be able to do is probably send paper air planes at eachother."

" But what if I miss?"

" Throw down the paint brush and tackle him!" Wing Saber laughed.

" Excuse me?"

The two bots looked around. It was Arcee.

" Can't a couple of guy's get some privacy around here?" Wing Saber asked. Arcee and Iron Hide stared with optics widened and jaws dropped. " You know what I mean..."

" I couldn't help over hearing your conversation with Galvatron--" Arcee began.

" Bet you could've..." Wing Saber grinned.

" --and you shouldn't go out with this, Iron Hide. Think of the levels you'll lose for Garlion. You're sure to be caught."

" And its really none of your business." Iron Hide said, crossly.

" So, BYE BYE!" Wing Saber added, with a cheesy grin.

" You sure the coast is clear?"

" Yeah. I don't see a soul..."

" Thats because your not using night vision..."

" Oh. Right..."

Wing Saber and Iron Hide crept down the stairs of the boys rooms. There wasn't a being left in the gathering room. The two chuckled silently, as a light to thier left suddenly turned on. The two friends swearved around and saw a very cross looking Arcee.

" YOU!" Wing Saber whispered. " GO BACK TO BED!"

" You're lucky I didn't tell your brother," Arcee said, walking over to Wing Saber. " Blast Burn. He's a prefectionist. He'd put a stop to this."

" Blasty's your brother?" Iron Hide asked.

" Come on. Lets leave this kiss up alone, Iron Hide." Wing Saber said, walking over to Televizzles ladder.

" You don't CARE about Garlion do you?" Arcee asked, cutting them off. " All you care about is yourselves and a stupid grudge match between Galva-freak. Your going to lose all the points I earned us today for knowing about Moving Swipes in Boltran's class today."

" Shut up and move." Wing Saber snapped.

" Fine. But I'll laugh in your face when your get caught. Now I'm going to bed--" but Televizzle had already sealed it self shut. " Oh this is just WONDERFUL!"

" Yeah, but its your problem." Iron Hide shrugged.

" I'm comming." Arcee growled.

" Hah. No. You're not." Wing Saber snapped.

" Look, if all three of us get caught thats okay because I can bail you two out." Arcee said.

" Shut up both of you!" Iron Hide whispered. " I heard something."

" Mr. Bigglesworth? That stupid persian that roams the halls?"

But it wasn't Mr. Bigglesworth. It was Jabby, Wing Saber's pet Ratatta.

" Hehe... oops." Wing Saber chuckled, scooping up the Pokemon.

Iron Hide shut the two quarrling 'bots up and they headed for the trophy room. They almost got caught by Gazzles, the Gengar Poltergeist, but they easily slipped past. At five till midnight they arived at the trophy room. They headed in and waited. The minutes slowly crept by, with no sign of Galvatron or Thundercracker or Snow Cat.

" Maybe he chickened out..." Wing Saber said, hopefully.

There was suddenly a creak a few isles down, that made the three jump. Iron Hide quicly pulled out his paint brush, ready to fight-- but it wasn't Galvatron.

" Maybe their in here my pet..." said a hazy voice.

It was Mr. Bigglesworth and his owner, Split Track, the caretaker of the school. They were slowly aproaching the trio's hidding spot. They all started to silently freak out as they quickly activated their night vision sensers. Everything started to turn a different shade of green as they crawled across the floor.

" Maybe they're over here..." Split Track cooed to the Persian.

" This way!" Iron Hide mouthed.

They all slowly stood up and crept towards the door. Arcee tripped and landed on Wing Saber and they both crashed into a glass cabinet.

" RUN!" Iron Hide yelled, speeding out the door, with Arcee and Wing Saber at his heels. They ran for about five minutes, before stopping outside thier ghetto class.

" I think-(gasp)-we lost 'em..." Wing Saber panted, with his hands on his knees.

" I would've (pant) said I told ya so... but I told ya so..." Arcee said, leaning up against the wall.

" We've gotta get to the tower. Fast." Wing Saber said, looking around.

" Galvatron tricked you, Iron Hide. He told Split Track instead of showing up." Arcee scolded.

" That little lying taddle-tale..." Iron Hide cursed. " Lets just go."

Going wasn't so easy though. They had barely taken three steps, before their classroom oppened up. It was Gazzles.

" Oooh! Ickle firsty wirsties out of bed?" he cackled evily.

" Please, Gazzles. Just go away and be quiet... PLEASE." Iron Hide pleaded.

" Oh well... FIRSTIES OUT OF BED! STUDENTS OUT OF BED IN THE FORIEGN LANGUAGE HALLWAY!"

The three ducked under Gazzles, and slammed into a door. A locked door.

" WE ARE SO SCREWED!" Wing Saber screamed.

" 'Ta hell we are!" Arcee snapped. She pulled out her paint brush and swipped it across the door knob. " Unlockeon!" and it glowed green and unlocked. The three rushed into the room, just as Split Track ran into the hall way.

" Where are they, Gazzles?" Split Track snapped.

" Say ' pwitty pwease...'"

" WHERE ARE THEY!"

" Say it..."

" Fine. Pwitty Pwease."

" HAH!" Gazzles cackled. " How should I know where the little rascles went? Oh well... they probably jumped out a window.

Iron Hide had his audio reciever up to the door and it was silent in the hall.

" Okay guy's, I think we lost him.. whats up with you?" Iron Hide asked.

He needn't wonder long. In front of them was a large creature. A three headed headed Hillary Duff. They all stood in horror at the sight. The Hillary beast started to stir. The three Autobots stood, stock frozen, in place.

" Like, OMG! TRANSFORMERS!" The monster roared.

" AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The three screamed running to the door.

They got out of the room, and tried to close the door, but the beast was putting up too much of a fight. All three pushed at once and got the door closed. They all stared at the door for a second, then sped off to the tower.

hehehehe... that was funny. Anywho, Hillary Duff was scary enough to be the new fluffy! R&R MUGGLES!
