A Story About Brawl

For Brawl the hardest part about being on earth was blending in. he was a large transformer so he had to pick an alternate mode suitable for his size. He picked the form of and M1Abrams tank. He liked earth tanks; he thought they were the right amount of artillery and psychological prowess. The frightening spikes in the front made Brawl look as menacing as a Terrorcon. He liked scaring people weaker then he was, that would include bots, Minicons, and even humans. One thing that had changed in Brawl since he landed on earth was his ruthless brutal treatment of beings smaller then he. He now saw it as weakness to torture and prey on weaker beings. To Brawl; being a bully was even more pathetic then being a Minibot; however, scaring the slag out of smaller beings was not excluded. He also found the vast spans of land were fun to explore and concur. The only downside to these areas was the lack of humans, if he was ever to find a decent PET he would have to stick to human military bases and try to keep a low profile. This made Brawl a tad bit angry because the only people he saw were soldiers who all seemed to have the same mindset. He had been at Fort Brag for a week and he could see no human that he would want. And if it wasn't bad enough, most of the humans at the base were Autobot fans. The only comment he could make about that was yuck. It was lonely for Brawl to stay parked in the day time by the other tanks, none of which were transformers so having a conversation with then was out of the question. He kept tempering with them while the soldiers were asleep. He loved to see their confused faces in the morning when they saw that the tanks all had their treads taken off and barrels detached. He also thought it was funny when they talked in barrack talk. The constant swears made Brawl even more gleeful that he was causing them a headache. So all he could do was go around the base as silent as he could. He was just about to give up hope when he spotted something that caught his optic. He was moving around the living quarters and he spotted a girl coming out of one of the houses. However something did not seem right to Brawl. The girl had a stick and poked it on the ground as she walked. She also wore a big pair of sunglasses. But why? Why was she poking the ground? Brawl had to find out. He began to search the internet for answers. He used an image of the girl and her stick and came up with the only logical answer to Brawl. The answer made Brawl a little bit sad, the girl was blind. And the stick was the only way she could feel around for anything that may cause her to fall. Brawl did not understand; how can this be possible? Didn't the humans have a way to fix their eyes? Or how about a replacement? Brawl continued his research and found it shocking that humans could not just replace their parts like transformers. Not only could they not replace their parts they also had limits on what they could even replace. He learned all about organ transplants and blood typing, along with cell and tissue typing. He was also impressed by the vast diversity that humans developed to be. This diversity Brawl thought, must come with a price. To him this girl paid her price, with her sight. He was intrigued by her. even though she was blind she still went out on her own and acted just like everyone around her. he researched {well more like hacked} into her bio.

He continued to read. He found out that she was born blind. She received average marks in school and was going to college to be an aircraft engineer. It said that she knew a lot about machines and even competed in build offs. Sometimes beating the competition regardless of her inability to see. She had no sisters or brothers.

Brawl was fixated on her. He would watch her leave in the morning to go to the library or to the hardware store where she worked. The stores name was Sparkplug's Auto Repair. Luckily the store was on the base; otherwise brawl would have been spotted by some local pedestrian. He kept his distance as not to attract attention. he noticed that she used her hands to feel out what she could not see. She was also fast at finding what the customer wanted. Brawl thought to himself "I would like to talk to her, but I would probably scare her, and what the slag would I even say?" For once in Brawls life he was getting butterflies of the cerbo. The more he saw of her; the more it felt like he was being pulled in by a magnet. One day Marie worked late into the night and it gave Brawl a chance to move in a tad bit closer. He noticed her leave for the night and head towards the train station. Brawl wanted to fallow her but couldn't because the train station was off base. He felt like a dog fenced in. he started to go back to the tank bay area when he caught sight of something that seemed way out of place. As she left the base a group of boys moved behind her. he saw 6 and they looked like human junkion thugs. They had tattoos, piercings, and leather jackets. The jackets were decorated with the saying "Hells Angels". Brawl knew they were in a gang, and a bad one at that! When he first got to this planet he did some research on street gangs and they were at the top. Only M13 beat them on it. He knew what they were doing; they were planning on jumping Marie! He had to decide on what to do, stay in place or break his orders. He contacted Megatron. He was very startled as all he could do is see the horror taking place.

Gang member 1-"Give us your purse or else."
Marie – "No."
1 – "Jack teach the girl a lesson."
Jack – {cracking his knuckles moved in and Marie tried to hit him with her sight stick. But Jack pulled it away and smacked her with it breaking her glasses} "GIVE US YOUR PURSE YOU STUPID BITCH!"
Marie – {was on the ground feeling her way around backed up to the wall behind her}

Back at the nemesis it was stasis time and on Megatron's floor an ominous radio signal was going off.

Megatron, Megatron please come in, please come in Megatron.

Megatron woke from his stasis and went over to his computer and spoke into the microphone.

Megatron – "What in sparks name, Brawl do you have any idea what time it is?"
Brawl – "I am sorry sir; I did not mean to wake you. But I have an issue here, permission to engage human targets."
Megatron – "And blow your cover, what is it for?"
Brawl – "I found a PET sir, a female, she is in danger."
Megatron – "Brawl I hope you remember that you are a Decepticon, and hero work is not what you signed up for. If you want that; go join the Autobots."
Brawl – "But sir, she is blind, and there are 6 of them, they look pretty dangerous. And picking on a blind girl is too weak, even for us."
Megatron – "I agree, what kind of lowly, slagging, fragged spark core of an exhaust port gangs up on a blind girl? Permission to engage, however if you are caught, you are on your own."
Brawl – "Yessir."

The transmission cut as brawl speed out of the base. The guards were caught off guard by it and fell back in their chairs. The grabbed their rifles and called in support. Whoever it was in the tank they had to be stopped. The alarms went off and soldiers made their way to get suited up and ready to fight. The poor soldiers were scrambling around, bumping into one another and overall seemed confused as to what to do. This was the first alarm issued at Fort Brag. The gang was shocked at the sound of the alarm and grabbed Marie and ran. Marie tried to put up a fight but against six; it was hopeless. They got on their motor cycles and speed off on the high way. Brawl was gaining speed but the small city streets were halting his ability to turn. He broke through a toll booth and speed ahead to try and catch them off at the curb. The gang was mortified to see that a tank was chasing behind them. A batch of hummers moved behind Brawl and tired to get him to stop. Their efforts were futile at best. Brawl was intent on getting to Marie and no humans and their pathetic earth vehicles were going to stop him. He rammed one of the hummers off of the road and into a ditch. Frantic people moved out of the way of the tank as sirens went off. Brawl moved his barrel around to knock the second hummer into a 360 that caused the hummer to crash into a meridian. The third hummer opened fire on Brawl who brushed it off like it was nothing. In fact the tiny machine gun bullets were mere feathers in comparison to his superior transformer shell. The last hummer was taken down as brawl moved it to the side of the road into a wall. The hummer was shredded like cheese against the wall. The hummers were replaced by police cars. The cops stayed back, they were not capable of handling a tank. They waited till more military vehicles could come and back them up. Brawl moved his aft into high gear. He knocked a few people off of the road. The gang took an exit and speed far away from brawl.

Meanwhile a second tank going the opposite way to head to Keys Industries spotted Brawl. Flak couldn't believe his optics for a breem. He had just landed on Earth and he was already in contact with a Decepticon! Flak an Autobot knew who the other tank was. It was the Combaticon known as Brawl. Flak called into Optimus to inform him of the actions of the well known Decepticon.

Flak – "Optimus Prime, come in Optimus Prime."
Optimus – "Flak you sound distressed what is going on?"
Flak – "It's Combaticon Brawl; he is attacking people. I need some help to engage target."
Optimus – "Me, Ironhide, and Hound will meet up with you. Stop him any way you can without harming the humans."
Flak – "Yessir. I am sending you my local now."
Optimus – "Our ETA is 40." {Optimus and the others left Keys Industries and rushed out to stop Brawl.}

Flak turned in the opposite way to go after Brawl. Flak broke through the meridian and chased after the humans and Brawl. He primed his cannons. He contacted the police using their radio frequency.

Flak – 'Human police, be advised you are chasing after a Decepticon. Fall back before you can get hurt. I also advise you to evacuate the area."
Policeman – "Who the hell are you?"
Flak – "I am Autobot Flak; fall back now!"
Policeman – "an Autobot?"
Flak – "Yes, now just do as I say. You don't want to converge with this Decepticon. His lethality can only be measured by his size."
Policeman – "DAMN TRANSFORMERS! FINE! ALL UNITS FALL BACK! THIS IS A DECEPTICON! NOTIFY THE MARINES AS WELL!"

The police moved away from Brawl as flak moved in instead. Flak set out a warning to Brawl.
Flak – "PULL OVER COMBATICON! DO SO OR I WILL ENGAGE YOU!"
Brawl noticed Flak behind him and turned his turret around and shot at Flak who was pushed back a few hundred feet. Flak was hit but a full force blow from Brawls cannon. A few humans in their cars were tossed in the air like pieces of paper from the 200 ibs worth of explosive charge that had burst forth. Flak shook it off and pursued further. Brawl thought to himself "Slag, not now! Stupid Autobot always getting in the way! Cant they see that I am trying to save someone!" Brawl continued and seeing his target ahead decided to barricade their way. He shot a small RPG into an area ahead of the gang. It hit a semi truck and created a firewall. The gang saw this and stopped cold. They did not know what to do but they knew they were dead. One way or another. They were completely boxed in by the fire. The gang leader looked at Marie and thought this tank must be an Autobot coming to save her. he grabbed Marie and held a gun to her head. Brawl moved in on the gang and transformed stopping directly in front of the gang leader.

Leader – "DON'T MOVE AUTOBOT! OR SHE GETS IT!"
Brawl – {Glared} "Autobot? Do I look like an Autobot to you?!"
Leader – "YEAH!"
Gang member 3 – "FORGET THIS MAN, HENRY YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!" {he started to run off in the opposite direction when Brawl took one of the spikes off of his chest and threw it at the boy. Impaling him from the top of his back and down through his pelvis to the ground. Blood spewed in immense flows as the gang member gasped a few more breaths before hitting the floor dead}
Jack – {shooting at brawl with his puny 9mm pistol} "YOU BASTARD!"

Henry the gang leader moved over to the right as his members distracted the transformer. Brawl laughed menacingly as he picked the boy up and crushed him in his hand. The gun fell with a small clang. With a few cracks the boys' body fell limp. Brawl tossed the boys body into a building through a pane of glass on the 3rd floor. Two down, four to go thought Brawl. Brawl saw the leader and his last three cronies went into a warehouse and Henry continued to drag the poor girl along. They halted in fear as screeching metal sounded in the warehouse. Brawl tore the front face of the building cleanly off.

Brawl – "I SUGGEST YOU HAND OVER THE GIRL NOW! BEFORE I KILL THE REST OF YOUR PALS!"
Henry – "AINT GONNA HAPPEN ROBO-RETARD!"
Brawl – "Wrong answer."

Flak made his way up the road to where Brawl had the boys cornered. He too transformed and ran at the warehouse. Brawl's Autobot sensors rang off. Thinking "For sparks sake!' Turned around launched several missiles at the bot. Flak tried to hold his ground but was knocked to the ground in a huge thud. He got up and hurled a punch at brawl who stumbled to the side. Henry dragged Marie to the back exit and his teammates fallowed behind. They reached the outside and broke into a car. With one gang member holding a gun to Marie's head Henry hot-wired the car. They drove off as Flak and Brawl continued their fist fight. Flak continued to wail on Brawl who had his arms up to block his blows.

Brawl – "SLAGGING AUTBOT! ALWAYS STICKING YOUR HEAD IN WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG!"
Flak – "GIVE UP DECEPTICON!"
Brawl – "NEVER!'
Flak – "Have it your way!"
Brawl – "GET FRAGGED!" {Brawl broke free of Flaks blows and hit Flak extremely hard. So hard that it broke a piece of Flaks helmet off}

Brawl grabbed Flaks foot and threw him clear over the firewall and Flak rolled into a building; only to have it crash on top of him. Brawl sent a few missiles to finish the job. He had to get to Marie! He turned back into his tank mode to continued the chase. He couldn't believe his luck. The day he tires to be a hero the Autobots have a problem with it. He tracked the treads from the car they stole and fallowed behind. All the while Prime and company continued to make headland. They were still 100's of miles away. Brawl saw a road that went above the one the gang was on and headed up. He would drop down on them. he speed his treads faster then any moment since coming online. He reached a speed of 75 mph. he rolled pushing a few cars out of the way. He got to the edge and transformed. He grabbed the edge of the overpass and landed in front of the car. A bit of concrete fell around them. The gang stopped the car. Two out of the three cronies ran out of the car leaving only two left. The two headed toward a building. Brawl using his sonic cannon fired a boom to the building. Glass shattered and fell towards the earth. A piece of glass cut cleanly through one of the gang members. He was cleanly cut down in the middle. His two sides fell to the floor. The second of the two ran inside of the building only to have it brought down by one of Brawl's shells. The forth of the gang members was crushed by the force of the blast. Brawl picked up the fifth of the cronies and threw him down the road. His body was like a rag doll as it hit the pavement. His flesh was sheered off by the sandpaper action of the pavement. Henry was frightened now. All of his gang members were dead. Brawl had spared no pity or mercy for them. He charged his hand like an electo magnet and the gun flew from Henry's hand into Brawl's who crushed it and let the shrapnel fall to the floor. Henry pushed Marie away and started to run. Brawl acting like a gentleman lifted her off of the ground and moved her away from the carnage. He ran towards Henry and maneuvered in front of him.

Henry – {collapsing to his knees holding his hands up like in prayer} " PLEASE DON'T HURT ME AUTOBOT. TAKE THE GIRL! I'M SORRY!"
Brawl – "You wish! I AM NOT AN AUTBOT FLESHBAG! I AM A DECEPTICON! AND YOUR LUCK JUST RAN OUT!"
Henry – "D –D –D – Decepticon?!" {stuttered}
Brawl – "MARIE CLOSE YOUR EARS, I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO HEAR THIS!"
Marie – "okay." {she clasped the sides of her head and was shaking}

Brawl grabbed the boy by the arm and with one fling he broke and dislocated it. The boy wailed in pain.

Brawl – "That one is for me."
Brawl then tossed him in the air and grabbed his leg, doing the same thing as before.
Brawl – "That's for being a pathetic piece of slag!"
Brawl ripped the boys' arms off and with two fingers crushed the boys head.

Brawl – "And that one is for Marie."

Brawl tossed the dead body into a dumpster. Commenting "There; you are now where you belong you worthless piece of trash". Realizing he was covered in dirt and other unmentionable fluid broke a fire hydrant and cleaned himself off. He went over to Marie and lifted her ever so gently up to see her face. He stared at her in awe. He felt something that he thought could never come again, peace. All of the anger and hate left him in an instant calming him. Marie spoke up.

Marie – "You aren't going to hurt me are you?"
Brawl – "Me hurt you?! No, I am not going to hurt you."
Marie – "Then what do you want?"
Brawl – "Actually we are doing what I want. I wanted to talk to you but I . . . "
Marie – "I don't understand, you said you are a Decepticon, the bad guys and you don't want to hurt me?"
Brawl – "Haven't I proved that already?"
Marie – {hearing the humorous tone in Brawl she started to laugh.} "Then why did you come after me?"
Brawl – "I saw those boys gang up on you and I sort of lost it.'
Marie – "I couldn't see what was going on, but I am thankful you did.'
Brawl – "Its okay {Brawl was cut off by a large horn. It was Optimus and the others. With that Brawls happiness dissipated]
Prime – "DECEPTICON BRAWL, PUT THE GIRL DOWN NOW!"
Hound – "Don't worry little human, we got ya!"
Brawl – {realizing that he had to play along; put Marie down and raised his hands in surrender} "Okay prime, my hands are up, and I put her down."
Prime – {rolled in and transformed to his biped form, he grabbed the collar of Brawl and swung him around away from Marie and pined him down with his arms behind his back} "I am surprised, you did not fight back."
Ironhide – "He just realized that he finally meet his match Prime."
Brawl – "THAT'S NOT IT YOU OLD RUST BUCKET FOR A CERBO!"
Hound – "Quiet you deceptitrash before I do it for you!"
Marie – "WAIT YOUR MAKING A MISTAKE!"
Prime – "Its okay human, we are Autobots, he won't hurt you anymore."
Marie – "You don't understand! He saved me!" {The Autobots just looked at each other}
Hound – "What the spark?"
Prime – "Autobots she is optically impaired, so it is logical that you are clearly confused."
Marie – "I may be blind but I am not stupid! I would be dead right now if it wasn't for him. . uh. I didn't catch your name?"
Brawl – "Brawl."
Marie – "Wait a minute I recognize your voice, you are Optimus prime aren't you?"
Prime – "Why yes, yes I am."
Marie – "Then Mister Prime, let Brawl go."
Hound – [transformed and walked next to Marie} "Its okay, no need to lie for him. We're here now."
Marie – "I am not lying, Brawl tell them what happened."
Brawl – {still under Primes foot} "A gang almost got to her; who knows what they would have done if I didn't intervene. They kidnapped her and I rushed to save her!"
Prime – "Decepticons don't save people! They kill! As the trail of carnage you left clearly shows!"
Brawl – "Don't get on my aft because I don't know how to be a hero like you OKAY! SHE'S THE FIRST THING I HAVE SAVED! Well other then stupid bones…"
Hound – "YOU EXPECT US TO BELIEVE YOU!"
Brawl – "I see, once a Decepticon, everyone is quick to judge. Why don't you just terminally put me offline and save your audio receptors." {Getting frustrated over how biased the bots where being}
Ironhide – {locking and loading his gun} "Great Idea."
Marie – "IF HE WAS LYING I WOULD BE DEAD WOULDN'T I?" {the Autobots halted and thought yes that would be true}
Prime – {let his foot off of Brawl} "That's true."
Ironhide – " Prime you cant be serious?"
Prime – "I didn't start my leadership underneath oppression and I am no going to start now. We can at least hear what he has to say. As long as he continues to behave."
Hound – " Prime I think we better get going."

People came outside to see what the chaos was and sirens went off in the background. Prime and the others decided it would be best to get out of the area so that they could talk. Brawl wanted to carry Marie but Prime wouldn't allow it. So Marie went with Hound and they drove to someplace quieter. They stopped at an area about 200 miles away from the Fort Brag. Flak joined up with them with a scowl and a moan. He was beaten up really hardly. His treads were holding on only by mere threads of wire. His hull was dented and he was covered in soot. He sat away from the group and started to clean himself up and repair his damaged parts. Swearing something awful the entire time. Ironhide joined him to help him fix the damage.

Ironhide – "I know how you feel Flak but at least he didn't kill you."
Flak – "HE LET AN ENTIRE BUILDING FALL ON ME, AND THEN HE SHOT MISSILES AT ME!"
Brawl – "You were always a whiner Flak, that's why you struggled through the academy."
Flak – "Shut up."
Brawl – "Can't let go can you?"
Flak – "YOU LEFT US BRAWL, TO GO BACK TO YOUR FRAGGED BROTHERS, TO THAT SLAG-FACE Megatron! YOU BACKSTABBED ALL OF US THE DAY YOU TURNED CON!"
Brawl – "Like you would have done anything different."
Flak – "We lost a bunch of good Tank-bots that day. You just left us to die!"
Brawl – "Hey if you have a problem go talk to Starscream, I wasn't the one that called in the air strikes that killed of Warzone, Treads, and Utilitarian. If you forget; I was caught in the crossfire too."
Flak – {stayed silent because Brawl was telling the truth, the seeker teams did shot at everyone that day}
Hound – "Us military Bots we supposed to stick together, that was OUR MISSION! SENTINEL PRIME TOLD US TO KEEP THE COMPOUND SAFE! AND THEN YOU CAME {Pointed at Brawl} WITH GUNS BLARING"
Flak – "Not just guns but a new faction symbol as well."
Brawl- {laughed} "Yeah I choose family over my mission, so short circuit me. You would have done the same."
The Autobots silenced at that.
Marie – "I know I would have done the same thing."
Brawl – "see even she agrees with me."
Prime – "Speaking of her. why would you want to save her Brawl?"
Brawl – {got embarrassed to say} "You wont let me go without telling you huh?"
Ironhide – "Not on your life."
Marie – "I would also like to know why a Decepticon would want to save me."
Brawl – {he would have blushed if he could} "Well I uh…. {Brawl rubbed his head}
Hound – "See we knew he was full of it."
Prime – "Brawl."
Brawl – "FINE! I LIKE HER OKAY!" {he got mad and crossed his arms}
The Autobots just sat in total confusion
Marie – "I wasn't expecting that answer." {Thinking, "what on earth. I must be dreaming"}
Flak – "Dude."
Hound – "You have to be joking."
Prime – "Bots I don't think he is lying. . . for once."
Brawl – {looked at Marie} "Why would I lie? I mean look at her, she is absolutely gorgeous."
Marie – {Went redder then an apple.}
Flak – "Okay. . . "
Prime – "I didn't know you Decepticons could understand anything positive anymore."
Brawl – "we used to know Prime what it was like to be calm and peaceful. I can't remember the last time I felt happy. Genuinely happy, until I saw her. she makes all of the hate and anger go away. You could throw a bus at me Prime and I wouldn't do a sparking thing. I would be too cheerful to care." {He picked up Marie and just stared at her, smiling}
Prime – "all right."
Flak – "All right what?"
Prime – "I once said that the problem with the Decepticons is that they don't know what is worth fighting for. They are all bullied and pushed to do what Megatron says. They just fallow his orders in fear, but it seems Brawl has found his special something that is really worth fighting for."
Hound – "BUT PRIME! YOU CANT HONESTLY THINK THAT LETTING BRAWL HAVE A HUMAN WILL CHANGE HIM!?"
Prime – "It already has Hound; we would all have been attacked by now if he hadn't."
Brawl – " Prime I know it doesn't mean anything to you but you have my word. No harm will come to her."
Prime – "Marie was it?"
Marie – "Yes."
Prime – "Do you want to be a Decepticons girlfriend?"
Marie – "He saved my life, if it will make him happy then why not. Worst come to worst we both just grow out of each other and move on. Right Brawl?"
Brawl – "CROSS MY SPARK AND HOPE TO BE PUT OFFLINE, The minute she gets tired of me I will let her go."
Marie – "Wait a sec. how is this going to work?"
Brawl – "Its okay, one of my pals already has a girlfriend and she lives with us."
Hound – "WHAT THE SLAG, A HUMAN LIVING ON THE NEMESIS?!"
Brawl – "Yeah, she likes it, and I bet you would too. I will just have to make sure she stays clear of a few of the cons but it should be alright."
Prime – "Brawl, who has chosen a human?"
Brawl – "Now that I can't tell you."
Prime – "I don't like it, but if humans can get the cons to act better and learn about taking care of something instead of destroying everything they touch, it's fine by me."
Marie – "So I won't be the only human then?"
Brawl – "Nope."
Marie – "Okay, let's give this a shot. . . if my father agrees to this."
Prime – "Even better. Okay Brawl, you convince her dad, she may go with you. If not we take you back with us to the ark to be dismantled."
Brawl – "Deal." {he let Marie down and shook Optimus's hand}
Flak – "I hope he disagrees."
Hound – "Brawl may I have a word with you?"
Brawl – "why?"
Hound – "just move your aft."
Brawl – {went to talk to hound alone}
Ironhide – "what's this about?"
Prime – "I think we should just let them be."

Hound – "what's all of this about brawl?"
Brawl – "Megatron said we could have a girlfriend or any other human. I pick her."
Hound – "come on pal, Megatron is not that nice. He must be planning something."
Brawl – "I am not allowed to tell you any more."
Hound – "I just don't want to see any human or Decepticon get hurt because of Megatron's selfishness."
Brawl – "why are you being so nice?'
Hound – "this war between us is getting blurrier and I can't seem to distinguish our factions any more. I mean first, you attack at L.A not caring who gets killed or injured and now you actually are being kind and acting like a gentlebot. What am I supposed to think?"
Brawl – "Don't worry, she will be fine."
Hound – "why do you like her so much?"
Brawl – "for a human lover, you sure ask a bunch of stupid questions."
Hound – "I just find it hard to believe that the Decepticons of all transformers could even stand being in a room with a human for more then 5 nanoclicks."
Brawl – "listen, we are still cons; we just found something that makes up happy. Who cares if the package is human or what. And for once, we will be doing something good. Doesn't that make sense to you?"
Hound – "Well then. Maybe you will change back to being a bot instead of a con."
Brawl – 'Don't count on it."
The two just patted each other on the back and laughed.

They all decided to leave and go back to the base. Brawl had to apologize for breaking the gate. But everyone was just too scared to go near the transformers. They pulled up to Marie's house and Marie knocked on the door. Her father opened it and hugged his daughter. She did not come home so he was thankful that she was alive. He paused as the vehicles in front of him transformed. They explained the story and Walter felt like he was in a daze. His wife came down too and they just looked at each other in complete shock. They got angry at Brawl and the Bots at first. But Marie helped to understand what happened. They steeped out and greeted Brawl.

Walter – "YOU WANT TO WHAT!?"
Brawl – "I wish for your daughter to move in to the Decepticon base and be my girlfriend."
Walter – "DECEPTICON! NO DAUGHTER OF MINE IS DATING A DECEPTICON!"
Prime – "Sir I understand your anger, but this might be a good thing for you humans as well."
Walter – "How can that be?'
Prime – "If having a human will make them more willing to do good acts, this may be a step to getting them back on the road to righteousness.'
Alicia – {Holding her daughter tight} "not my baby!"
Marie – "Mom he saved my life, it's the least I could do is give him a chance."
Walter – "Marie think logically!'
Marie – 'DAD I AM TIRED OF BEING TRAPPED IN YOUR LITTLE CAGE! YOU AND MOM DON'T GET IT DO YOU!?"
Walter – 'cage?'
Marie – 'Ever since I have been born you have been overprotective. I haven't been outside the state without having someone supervise me. You didn't even let me go to the college I wanted."
Walter – 'I did that to protect you!'
Marie – "you did it to control me! You think that just because I am blind that means I am weak. But I am not weak dad, I need to move on my own and finally learn who I am away from both of you."
Alicia – "Marie…"
Brawl – "Listen its not like she won't get to come back when she wants. She is free to go back and forth from the base to here as much as she wants.'
Walter – {looked at the floor with his hands on his hips shaking his head}
Flak – {smiled} "See what did I say."
Brawl – "I understand why you don't trust me, it comes with the name. but sir I promise you. Nothing will happen. I will make sure that I take good care of her."
Walter – "As much as it breaks my heart. My daughter has made her choice. And I highly doubt you will leave here empty handed. {He looked directly into Brawls optics} BUT IF YOU HURT HER, OR DO ANYTHING THAT I DON'T LIKE I SWEAR I WILL MAKE SURE YOU DIE! IF I DON'T GET AT LEAST ONE CALL FROM HER A WEEK YOU WILL BE IN FOR IT! I will report that you stole my daughter away and I will make sure of it that she comes back.'
Brawl – {in respect stood tall and saluted the man} "YESSIR SARGENT LAUDER!"
Alicia – {finally calming down}"Honey I think it will be okay, he just addressed you like a private."
Walter – "I thought you guys had no manners."
Brawl – "Sir just don't tell my leader Megatron but I am a foot soldier, you are a sargent, you outrank me here. So I answer to you in the aspects of your daughter."
Walter – {tiered up a bit} "She doesn't have to leave tonight does she?"
Brawl – "No, she can have as much time as she needs to get her stuff packed up."
Walter – {Pacing} "my daughter with a con, {thinking marriage} oh god, I would have a con for a son in law. . . . at least he can't get her pregnant. {nodded} this might not be as bad as I think."
Brawl – "I leave her with you, but I will be back in about a week to see if she is ready yet."
Alicia – "Brawl, you should understand my rule with my daughter, she is an angel, treat her like she is. If not, you know.'
Brawl – {feeling like he was put on the spot} "yes mam"
Prime – 'See, what did I say Autobots."
Flak – {glared at brawl and left. He couldn't stand hearing what was going on.}
Hound – "Good luck with this Brawl, you know we will be checking in."
Prime – {shook brawls hand} "Brawl, you can bet we will. Sargent Walter, don't worry we will be watching over him.."
Brawl – {lowered his head and smiled at the Lauder family} "See you soon Marie. THANK YOU MISTER AND MISSES LAUDER!"

Brawl transformed and rolled away. It didn't take her long to pack, considering her dad was in the military. She was used to moving around. He picked her up a week and half later.

Brawl may have won but a colonel was about to lose.

Preview - - "The Wrath of Mark McAlister"

Outside Washington D.C. in an old abandoned mill a man sits in the middle of the large room tied to a chair. The mans name is Colonel Barton. His feet were in pails of water that had electrical wiring coming out of them. He was gagged and bound tightly. He started to come back to consciousness. He raised his groggy head and his head ached something awful.

McAlister – "You're awake."
Barton – "General McAlister? what is going on? Where am I? What is the meaning of this?" {He was completely stunned to see McAlister.}
McAlister – "Colonel Barton, you are here to stand trial."
Barton – "Trial? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"
McAlister – "You have been a bad soldier Barton, you didn't think I wouldn't find out about you selling information to Russia did you?"
Barton – "I did no such thing!"
McAlister – "Since you seem so keen on playing games."

McAlister held up a dial and turned it sending shocks to Barton. His screams echoed in the empty mill.

McAlister – "NOW WHO HAVE YOU BEEN SELLING INFORMATION TO!?"
