Just outside a pair of mini-cons want to see this new human. A small red Decepticon outside spoke "What do you think Frenzy, I think it's time for a little bit of Decepticon hazing?" Frenzy a blue Decepticon spoke "I think it is, what do you say to a little prank Rumble?'"That sounds like a plan to me."
Rumble then placed his hand down on the panel next to door number 9 and it slide open. The two mini-cons snuck into the room very silently. And made their way to a sleeping fleshling. "What's that weird sound she is making?" Frenzy asked. "I am not sure but it sounds like Brawl when he is in stasis." "No wires, I guess humans don't need a stasis modulator either." Frenzy noticed the small human before him was not attached to anything. "Well she doesn't look like she can fight." Taiya was completely oblivious to them as her run and the stress of meeting Megatron had taken its toll on her. "No, but, if we can teach manners to Lazerbeak we can teach one human how to fight." Rumble assured his twin brocon "And think about it. We won't be the only small Decepticons here anymore." Frenzy exclaimed. "That would be nice to have someone else being called a Tiny-Cyber (Cybertronian for small fry) for a change. And with everyone being able to have their own, it will be like having a whole group of mini-cons on board again." Frenzy was still unsure how to feel. "I still just don't know, I mean, the last humans I saw shot at me." "Uh, Frenzy, you were trying to kill them, what kind of response did you expect to happen?"
Frenzy gave his brocon a side eye. "Okay fine you right on that. Good thing you made it to that slagging dam when you did. Those humans could have killed me." "That's why we shouldn't split up, every time we do we get in danger, But no, Mr. Frenzy wanted to prove his strength and go fighting a fort all by himself." "You are still angry about that, COME on I apologized didn't I?" Rumble look unconvinced and shrugged. "Whatever you say Frenzy…So you wanna wake her or should I?" Frenzy with eagerness in his voice said "I will do it…I saw this on a human show." Frenzy took out a pair of headphones and placed them on to the humans head, and blasted loud music into the headphones waking the girl in a panic. She screamed and fell off of the bed onto the floor only to look up and see two human sized cons in front of her. "Ahhhh!" She screamed and tried to get up and get running only to trip on the headphone cable. Connecting with the ground she whined "Ouuuuuu!" "I knew that would work" Frenzy said through chuckles and high-fiving Rumble. "That was so awesome, you looked like a total dunce!" Rumble and frenzy both broke into hysterical laughter. Blushing through her embarrassment and confusion. "Who are you two? AND WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!?" She was not afraid of them as she had to already deal with Megatron.
The two cons got up and both of them seemed to do an action pose. Both had each others' backs against one another and folded their arms and gave a slight eye slant look at Taiya."I am Frenzy" "And I am Rumble." Together they exclaimed "AND WE ARE SOUNDWAVES TWIN SOLDIERS!" "So..you guys are like…brothers?" She asked. "That's right!" Frenzy said. "We were activated together and according to lore we share two halves of the same spark." Rumble informed her. "Pretty cool huh? We can sometimes we can even know what we are doing before we even start." Taiya smiled "Yeah I can do that sometimes with my twin brother too." "No way you've got a twin too? Coooooooooooool." "Yes way, his name is Stephen." "We will talk about that tomorrow. But please don't screw up our names. Geeze when will people understand that I AM RED, YOU ARE BLUE! What part of Rumble suggests blue?" Rumble quick to change the subject due to boredom and the desire to brag about himself. "And how does blue suggest rage and anger?" Together they shouted "NOTHING!" Frenzy looked at her again "So fleshcon what is your name?"
"Uhm…Taiya." She answered "Ech..Megatron said you could use a better name." Rumble stated. Frenzy swiftly moved directly in front of Taiya and picked up a part of her hair. "So..Uh…Taiya, you told us you have a twin brother. How interesting. Well the only question left is, where is he, AND HOW DO WE RECRUIT HIM?" Frenzy said with excitement. Taiya giggled. "He is in Ireland, living with our dad." "That isn't too far from here. We have to find him. How cool would that be to have more twin teams." Rumble said with excitement. "HEY THEN WE CAN HAVE DOUBLE TEAM MATCHES ON THAT . . . what do they call that thing . . . OH YEAH, THE DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION GAME!" They high-fived. Frenzy agreed with his more violent half. "Yeah! Megatron may hate you guys, but I like human games. Especially since the systems are easy to manipulate to play all game types. And to be honest your movies aren't half bad and I think I like what you call rock and roll." "Uh…Rumble?" Frenzy asked. "Yeah." "Aren't we forgetting something?" "SLAG!... You are going to come with us for what your culture calls hazing." Shaking her head "WAIT! You mean that thing they force sorority and fraternal members through?" Looking in absolute disbelief at what they were insinuating.
"YUP! Only difference is that we aren't going to make you wear a toga, or some other embracing outfit." Rumble said. Though I did see some cool looking armor in that one movie." "YEAH YOU ARE GOING TO HELP US GET BACK AT STARSCREAM!" Frenzy shouted. Waving her hands in front of her "I CANT TO THAT! STARSCREAM IS MEGATRONS SECOND IN COMMAND! IF I DO ANYTHING I AM SOOOOO DEAD!" Beyond nervous she tried to get out of the whole debacle. Laughing Rumble explained "Like he could do anything. Starscream is a pushover. Why do you think Megatron keeps him around?" 'I don't know really. I thought he was a great fighter." She said as Frenzy and Rumble both just looked at each other and started laughing hysterically."PRIMUS NO! Megatron keeps him as second so that no one under him is anywhere near strong enough to beat him. Leaving him safe from being over thrown." Frenzy corrected her misplaced assumption. "Come on! we have to go. Only a few more cycles till everyone comes out of stasis."
Frenzy and rumble both grabbed Taiya by the hand and ran back to the elevator where Frenzy pressed a button in the middle of the panel. Rumble then got off on one of the floors and came back with buckets and brushes. Rumble and Frenzy told Taiya that she had to help them paint Megatron and place the evidence in Starscream room. "YOU HAVE TO BE OUT OF YOUR GOD DAMNED MIND! I CAN'T!" Thinking of how much trouble she would be in if she participated in this. Frenzy pushed the button for the same floor as before, down to level 20 where Megatron was "Don't worry, Megatron can't be woken up when he is in stasis. TRUST US. We have done this before. He could have a jet fly right over him and land on his face, only just to make him twitch his finger." Taiya just looked at them mouth agape. "Anyways, Megatron is used to us screwing around, if he does wake up we will simply put you behind a wall or something and say it was all us." Rumble threw his arm around Taiya like she was his drinking buddy. Taiya covered her face with her hands. "Oh God kill me… Screw it… Megatron will do that for you." Frenzy just looked peeved "I'm confused. Who is this god you keep talking about?" "Frenzy, its humans word for Primus." Rumble interjected. "Could you say Primus instead, human language confuses me." "Oooookay." She said. "Uhm you are going to tell me who Primus is right?" "Later T." Rumble said.
They stopped at level 20th floor and all three got off. Made their way very silently down the hall. It was lucky that they were small, they barely made a clank. She made the least noise as her bare feet allowed her to sneak around. All three of them had a pale of paint hanging off of their arms' and a paintbrush in the other. They huddled to the side of the door and rumble opened the door but was able to make it slide carefully and slowly to the side. They could hear what sounded like a truck snoring with a computer tone from inside. They crept inside and carefully made their way to a sleeping Megatron who was hooked up to many cables and the monitor from before flashed images from what looked like the day before. Taiya all the while thinking that this must be a Cybertronians REM cycle. An image of her caught her eye and just like that flashed away to go to images that seemed to be downloaded from the internet.
Taiya said quietly "He must be downloading information." "Yep we all do that, we just do it faster then the bigger cons. But we will explain later." Frenzy explained. "Hey Taiya! Want proof he won't wake up?" She nodded. Rumble took off the lid from the paint can and began to hit it hard so that the sound echoed very loudly in the room. To Taiya's astonishment Megatron just stayed there making a snoring like sound. "See" Rumble said. "Wait if he can stasis through everything why haven't he been attacked or something and well (she made the motion of death over her throat)?" "To be honest we in his inner circle don't tell anyone, nor has anyone leaked it, even under torture." Rumble said. "I promise I will keep it too." "Thanks Taiya." Rumble said. Frenzy with wet brush "Well let's get to work'
Taiya and frenzy opened their buckets and inside was neon paint. Taiya got neon green, rumble had neon red, and frenzy had neon blue. "Aren't these paint choices too obvious?" She asked.
Frenzy gave her a playful punch. "That's part of the plan." Each of the three began to paint Megatron till he looked like he was a bad acid trip. Taiya was so scared at first Frenzy had to help her get started, mostly getting the darn paint pail open. By the time they finished Megatron's arms were green and blue, his head red, his torso completely purple, and his legs turquoise. They didn't get a chance to paint him entirely but it still looked AWEFUL. Frenzy dumped the left over paint he had on the computer keyboard and painted a star on the monitor. They all left without a moment to step back and look at their handy work. Taiya was relieved that they were right about Megatron not waking up. They boarded the elevator again and went up a few levels to the 30th floor. Frenzy told Taiya this is the floor where the Seekers stay. Rumble had to fill her in that Seekers are the Decepticon Aerial Task Force. They got off and stopped at the 10th door in the hall and opened the door. Taiya then saw the same jet from six months ago. The one that shot down the helicopter trying to reach the boy. Taiya moved in carefully and had to try hard not to laugh at what the jet was saying in his sleep.
Starscream asleep "Yes Megatron…I accept your defeat…..{snore snore}… I would love your room." Taiya just looked at the twins who were both chuckling. After a bit of calming down they all went to work placing the paint on Starscream making it look like he got splattered when painting Megatron. Frenzy left only to return with a giant paintbrush that already had dried blue neon paint on it and placed it in Starscream's hand. Only a few times did the con either flip over or start to babble on his dream. They left and rumble and Frenzy helped Taiya back to her room.
"I suggest you clean up. Wouldn't want Megatron to get wise on us." Frenzy said with a smile. "Yeah and now the fun part." Rumble said eagerly rubbing his hands together. "See you at morning refuel time.' Frenzy stated. "Yeah and that was a lot of fun, and it is going to be even better tomorrow." Rumble said.
They left Taiya standing at her doorway just stunned and confused to what just happened. Taiya went to the bathroom only to break down in a fit of laughter on how funny she looked with neon paint all over her face. She washed it up and got into a new set of clothes and went back to bed for a few more hours of sleep. She was woken up by Blackout knocking on her door. She said she would be back out in a few minutes. She got changed yet again and grabbed something out of the kitchen for what Frenzy called refuel time. Blackout and her went back to the elevator and went all the way up to level 14. Blackout handed her a compact disk and said that she can view it in her room and that it had all the information she would need on the nemesis, just short of a few secret areas. They got off and entered a GIGANTIC room that was as large as the indoor hanger at NASA's cape Canaveral base. Taiya stopped dead when she saw all the cons were up here. Taiya felt the blood leave her arms and legs, she felt like passing out in sheer fright.
"Ready to meet the team" He said happily. "I uh….I guess." She said
