I will go ahead and say this is a rather bland chapter. I did my best, but this is just a filler based entirely off of 4 day old memories of lines that only appeared for like… 10 seconds. Some of it needs help. If anyone remembers the lines better, let me know. Or if you can find a script, cuz I've looked and I have limited time. This chapter is… not what I really wanted it to be, but it was also necessary because it does push the continuity along. I'll make the blooper good this round. I'm still battling whatever the heck I've got and it's kicking my little butt. Energy wise… which maybe a result of rushing around to get my bathroom cleaned up today when my dear father decided, without warning, that he was going to let the repair people measure through that window. So I had about 10 minutes to clean up a bathroom that hadn't been really cleaned in about… 3 weeks. Lots of dust and vacation stuff still out. Energy go bye bye. Illness go yay. Brain go boom. Writing skills went with brain.
Winners: thundercracker76, ChibiUkon, SilverWolf47, and Zonadow!!! You know the drill, 12 cybercupcakes a piece!
Side note: Dragolover1 pointed out that I didn't really write anything for the last blooper. So… I revamped it. It's better now. Go read again. Prime gets it on with Bee and Cade. But also, just so that people know, the bloopers are about humor and I try to keep them between 300 and 500 words while getting the punch line through. They can't all be winners. But I try.
I don't own the Transformers, I'm just playing around.
Also, if you see something wrong, please let me know. I'm only human and I will fix these things if you point them out.
Read and review!!!
Starscream got off of Megatron as the larger mech sat up. The humans were getting out of their car, so Starscream decided to take advantage of this moment to scare the two humans responsible for his master's demise. Given that Megatron had been revived, it didn't matter since he was still out for revenge. Starscream stood up and jumped in front of the human named Sam, but forgot that he still had Megatron's coded lubricants in his mouth components. He tried to scream at the boy, only managing to spit at the brat and cover him and his little friend in Megatron's essence. Well… it was a start. He slashed his talons across the area the boy was standing in, sending him flying over to Megatron (1).
"Hello, boy." Megatron announced. Sam screamed and thrashed as they began their exploration of his memories, but when he screamed that he was sorry about killing Megatron, Starscream couldn't hold back a laugh of indignation. The boy wasn't sorry. He had offlined the Autobots worst nemesis. Why would he be sorry?
Starscream listened as the boy yelped and whimpered as the Doctor probed his brain… like he needed it. Megatron had the boy pinned down, and Starscream went back to cleaning the residual fluids out of his mouth. Then something caught his attention… a noise.
It sounded like the roar of a truck engine… oh shit. Prime was here.
Starscream tired to alert Megatron, but he was too late as the truck ran through the wall and transformed, shooting at Megatron with unbelievably accuracy. Starscream jumped up and tried to get a shot in one Prime, but only received a cannon blast to the chest, too close to his spark chamber for comfort, which sent him roiling through the old, stained, weathered windows behind him. It took Starscream a minute to recover, doing his best to get back to Megatron, and found himself narrowly missing the yellow Camero that zoomed under him as he fell. The boy! The yellow Camero was his guardian… and Megatron was still busy with Prime. They continued to fight, eventually taking off from the warehouse and following Prime to the forest. Starscream and Grindor arrived after Megatron, and Starscream was right behind Grindor. Punches and kicks landed soundly from both sides, but Prime got the upper servo when he ripped Grindor's helm off his shoulders, offlining him instantly.
Starscream was luckier than their current helicopter, Prime grabbed his arm and slashed his rotator cuff clear off his body, causing the seeker to screech in pain and grab his arm as he was pushed to the side. That was when Megatron took his chance and stabbed Prime in the back, and then blasted his spark chamber with his cannon. Prime managed to tell the boy they were looking for to run… but they had achieved something that had long evaded them. Optimus Prime was dead.
They took their leave as soon as the rest of the Autobots had arrived, not wanting to risk any further injury. Starscream followed Megatron to a large building that had a flat, triangular top.
"The boy escaped!" Megatron yelled as he punched the nearest thing to him… which happened to be Starscream. Starscream's body was picked up by the punch and flung like a ragdoll onto the heated building top. He gasped as his wings made harsh contact with the building. Crap… when did Megatron turn against him in this battle?
Megatron grabbed the seeker's arm from him and slammed it back into its rightful place. Starscream bit back a scream of pain as the neuronets made contact with their rightful sockets, ushering a new wave of pain. Megatron hoisted the seeker back onto his peds… yet in reality, the tyrant was battling within himself. They had completed the mission… which meant he wouldn't get to see Starscream for a little while. The fallen was going to request that he returned to the ship…to be his yet again. Wait… that was it! The fallen wasn't going to be on the ship!!! And therefore wouldn't know if Starscream was there or not. He could send the seeker to Thundercracker's and Skywarp's location and that monster wouldn't be any the wiser… now to get Starscream to approve. The tyrant turned to Starscream. To think he had almost forgotten in the heat of the battle.
"Starscream… you have to join up with Thundercracker and Skywarp. You'll be safe there." Starscream frowned. Was Megatron trying to use his trine mates and his safety as an excuse to get rid of him?
"But sir, I was under the impression that I was going to go with you." Starscream said, the thrill of the battle still scrambling his thoughts. Megatron smiled at his love… though he wouldn't admit it, Starscream was rather cute when he was confused.
" Starscream, we have the information… now we just have to find this…" Megatron looked back at the information.
"The Tomb of the Primes… I… have no idea what that is. But the chances are, the boy is looking for it as well. In the mean time… we have to spread master's message to these pathetic Earthlings." Megatron motioned for them to take off towards the cities.
"It's time these fools know that we are here." Megatron stayed on the tower as Starscream took off for the next big city. He didn't want to leave, but he had no choice. Megatron's orders were Megatron's orders any way he looked at it. Starscream took off for the large city and acted like a large ape creature he saw over the Earthlings internet (2). He couldn't help but wonder… what was the fallen really planning.
Megatron watched his love leave… and never stopped staring at his aft. After about 15 minutes, he got up and flew to that nearest radio tower. He let the electricity surge through him and connected his master's message to the world. This was only the beginning of a very long day. However, while standing there, Megatron thought of something. He COM linked Starscream.
"Starscream…" Megatron said, and waited for his second in command's response.
"What is it my lord?" Starscream's weary voice replied, clearly either tired or depressed. Perhaps both.
"I just wanted to say… thankyouforthismorningandihopetodoitagainsometime!" Megatron shut off the COM link in fear of what his second in command would say. Would he reject him??? Would he accept? Well… after that display, it was probably the latter…but no time for that. He had to find this tomb and get this key his master mentioned. Off to Egypt.
(got to end it there… the rest is not lining up the way I want it to in my tired, weary brain. Will continue tomorrow… but here's a blooper that's been festering for a while)
BLOOPER!!!
So the Cybertronian winners of our poll are: Jolt the Volt, Sideswipe, and Skids and Mudflap.
The organic winner is the kitty.
The kitty sat on a porch in a rural neighborhood, Gently licking it's paw. It owners had left a few days ago with everything they owned and couldn't take the cat. It had no idea that it was alone yet. But it was getting hungry. Night was falling and a pair of cars that had driven by each day pulled up into the driveway. The cat had seen the cars on the street, but it had never seen the people inside before. The blue Volt opened its doors and a young man with dyed blur hair climbed out and walked towards the cat. The cat sat up and stretched, then moved towards the young man. The slightly older man in the silver car stepped out next.
"Hey little guy. Can't help but noticed you've been sitting here all alone for a few days… where's your family?" The blue haired man asked, gathering the cat into his arms. The black haired man from the silver car walked up to the two and placed a hand on the rather friendly cat's head.
"I think he likes you. You wanna take him with you? They wouldn't mind at base if we wanted it." Sideswipe said to Jolt. Jolt gave the man a cheesy smile and nodded. They headed back to their bodies and took off for base with their new friend.
"So…" Sideswipe said over his COM link "got a name for that furry little feline?"
"Yeah…"
