chapter 10

Optimus and Megatron were busy helping out taking a new super fuel that the government want them to test before using on any machinery or to prefect it with their know how. "Okay things are a quiet," Megatron said.

"Yes they are," Optimus said.

"Yes a little too quiet as they say in the movies," Hot shot said.

"If I know those droids they will do anything to grab this fuel formula," Blitzwing stated.

The Conquerdriods attacked. They were driving to get away from the droids. Maim stopped them in their tracks. "Not one more move or I will blast the fuel and you know what kind of explosion that will make Megatron and Optimus," Maim said.

"Maim you are likely to get blow sky high yourself," Optimus said.

"I will risk it," Maim said.

"I don't think you have the guts to do so," Megatron said.

Demolisher knocked Maim over who left with Cutter.

"We need to do something to handle them," Maim said. "I got an idea," he said.

Cutter took a large pick up truck, a monster truck, a couple of sports cars, and a race car. Maim made them into machines. "Presenting the Demodroids," Maim said.

"I wonder why the droids are taking cars that are known for power and speed." Red alert said.

"Well there is no way on earth to give them real life and personalities like us," Optimus said.

"But I think I that are going to do it," Megatron said.

They got an alert the droids were headed to Cybertron. "We better go to Cybertron now," Optimus said.

A group of Autobots and Decepticons went to Cybertron after the droids.

Meanwhile the Droids were going to Rustspike and Alpha Trion's place. "Now they have the key to vector sigma and we must get it," Maim said.

Alpha Trion and Rustspike were tidying up. "This should handle it," Rustspike said.

The droids broke in.

"You all," Alpha Trion said.

"We want the key you old coots," Maim said.

"What key?" Rustspike said.

"The key to Vector sigma," Maim said.

Rustspike blasted at him and Alpha Trion threw something at him.

The Cutter knocked them back while Trapper found the key and they went off to Vector sigma.

The Autobots and Decepticons made it. "What happened here this place looks more of a mess than usual," Blitzwing said.

"Rustspike?" Megatron called.

"Alpha Trion?" Optimus called.

"We over here," Rustspike said.

"Maim has the key to Vector sigma," Alpha Trion said.

"Red alert and Sawblade repair them we need their help," Optimus said.

Meanwhile Maim and the droids tricked the guard drones to attack the Autobots and Decepticons. They made it to Vector sigma and activated it. "I am Vector Sigma when Cybertron came to be I did! Who reactivates me?" it said.

"I Maim the second in command of the Conquerdriods," Maim said.

"Why did you?" Vector Sigma asked.

"To give personalities to these robots the Demodroids fill them with hatred for all Autobots and Decepticons, and what they do and make them realize we are better than all transformers," Maim said.

"Present them to me," Vector sigma said. Then charge the Demodroids.

Then it finished. "I am Maim second in command to the Conquerdriods tell me who you are now!" Maim said.

"I am Bustoff, I think I will destroy our foes for good," Bustoff said.

"I am Rattlestrike, I hate goody-goodies," Rattlestrike said.

"I am Death-threat, I will bring glory to the droids," Death-threat said.

"I am Darkbeast, I will bring on the pain," Darkbeast said.

"I am Crashwake I will make our foes tremble," Crashwake said.

"You all will have fine opportunity now lets go back to earth," Maim said.

Meanwhile Autobots and Decepticons saw old shuttles, old buggy like vehicles and drones. They were attack by the guard bots they sent in the drones and the guards followed them over the edge.

"Big and stupid," Blaster said.

"Agreed," Soundwave said. "A bad combo," he said.

They headed into the chamber and saw Maim was gone.

"Alpha Trion and Rustspike remember those shuttles?" Optimus asked.

"And do you both remember the buggies?" Megatron asked.

"Yes of course we do," Rustspike said.

"You think we can rebuild them into earth style cars and truck for the buggies?" Megatron asked.

"And rebuild the shuttles into earth style jet planes?" Optimus asked.

"That is such difficult procedure," Alpha Trion said.

"The drones worked," Megatron said.

"This is a different matter, but if the internal structure is still intact we can do it," Rustspike said.

"Maim will get a double whammy of Autobot and Decepticon power." Optimus said.

The rebuilt the shuttles and buggies. Now there were five earth jets and four earth cars along with a semi. "But how can we make them bots? Maim has the key to Vector sigma," Hot shot said.

"Yes it would seem a little hard," Demolisher said.

"They took a key but he didn't take the key," Alpha Trion said.

"Yes they didn't," Rustspike said.

"Where is this second key?" Megatron asked.

"Yes we can get it," Optimus said.

"We got it right here," Alpha Trion and Rustspike said about to merge with Vector sigma.

"No," Megatron said.

"Don't," Optimus said.

"Don't you remember that we created you both you need the planes and cars, you might not survive without them," Rustspike said.

"And what about your friends on planet earth now let us do what we must," Rustspike said.

The two of the merged with Vector sigma. "I am Vector Sigma when Cybertron came to be I did! Who reactivates me?" it said.

"I Optimus prime leader of the Autobots," Optimus said.

"And I Megatron leader of the Decepticons," Megatron said.

"Why are you two here?" it asked.

"To give life to these separate groups of machines one group are Decepticons and the other are Autobots," Megatron said.

"They gave themselves up so we could have some jets and cars crazy," Blaster said.

"No two transformers gave up their lives so twelve could be born a choice I want them to make some day." Optimus said.

"Give them personalities worthy of the ones who created us," Megatron said.

"Let all of them think for themselves, value life, friendship, love, freedom and unity wherever they find it, " Optimus said.

"And let them grow and become wiser and stronger as the get older and become the transformers they are meant to be," Megatron said.

Then Vector Sigma started it's work. The cars and planes came to life.

"I am Megatron leader of the Decepticons, hello Stunticons" Megatron said.

"And I am Optimus prime leader of the Autobots, nice to meet you Aerialbots" Optimus said. "Why don't you introduce yourselves?" he added.

"I am Motormaster, I am ready to go," Motormaster said.

"I am Deadend," Deadend said in a rather deadpan voice.

"I am Wildrider and I am raring to go," Wildrider said.

"I am Breakdown," Breakdown said.

"I am Dragstrip," Dragstrip said.

The Stunticons had finished introducing themselves.

"I am Silverbolt nice to meet all of you," Silverbolt said.

"I am Air raid," Air raid said.

"I'm Fireflight," Fireflight said.

"I am Skydive," Skydive said.

"I am Slingshot," Slingshot said quietly.

"Excuse me your name is what?" Optimus said.

"Slingshot," Slingshot said very quietly.

"Huh we can't hear you so spit it out," Hot shot said.

"My name is Slingshot," Slingshot said in clear voice.

"It's nice to meet all of you," Optimus said.

Then they found out the dangers in the key of Vector Sigma they hurried back to earth and a battle against the droids happened. The Slingshot frozen holding his gun and wouldn't shoot at the droids and allowed himself to get tackled to the ground. Then after getting saved the droids retreated.

"Why didn't you shoot you idiot!" Blitzwing snapped at him.

"I choked," Slingshot told him.

"You were probably scared," Lightstar said.

"Yeah scared to fight that is, and scare to show droid what he can do and protect himself," Air raid said.

"Yeah he is nothing but a coward!" Dragstrip said.

"Yes the worst thing to have in battle unit is coward," Blurr said.

Slingshot started crying and ran hid in the base.

"Guys that was not nice," Hannah said she had recently got a mech suit to help out. "It's normal to feel scared the first time on the battle field," she said.

"Hannah is right all of you should be ashamed of yourselves," Scavenger told them.

"But we did just fine he is coward," Air raid said.

"Everyone is different Air raid, now don't judge before you know the whole story I will go find Slingshot and talk to him," Hannah said.

Megatron, Optimus, Red alert and Sawblade followed her.

They found Slingshot hiding in a tunnel. "Slingshot is there in reason why you choked on the battlefield today?" Hannah asked

"Well you see..." Slingshot said. "I use to be a...a...a...a...a." he stammered.

"Just say it," Sawblade said.

"I use to be medical shuttle!" Slingshot cried.

"A medical shuttle?" Red alert asked.

"Yes, I use to carry sick and injured bots to the hospital," Slingshot said. "When saw the droid and I had out my gun, I thought I didn't want to hurt anybody it was against what I was originally built for, I was originally built to help to wounded and the sick, not to destroy and hurt," he said.

"It's okay," Hannah said. "You know Alpha Trion must have known you were a medical ship that is why he styled you with this specific jet mode, you have the for an ambulance Jet plane." she said.

"Yes and I have the feeling that your gentle spirit is just what Aerialbots need," Optimus said.

"Do you know medical procedures?" Red alert asked.

"Yes I have seen all of the being done inside me and all around me when I was at the hospital and some how it is programmed in my mind some how all the ones I never seen or heard of they are all in my head," Slingshot said.

"It's obvious Alpha Trion and Rustspike were aware of you being a medical shuttle and wanted you be able to live up to what you were as now an ambulance jet and a be a medic too." Red alert said.

"So I am not a coward?" Slingshot asked.

"No, you are a medic," Red alert said. "I am medic and I fight but I just fight without causing serious harm and that can be your way too," he told him.

"Okay," Slingshot said.

Slingshot came out a bit later and was relaxing.

"Look who came out the coward," Air raid said.

"Leave him alone Air raid, remember what Lightstar told us we shouldn't judge before knowing the whole story," Silverbolt told him.

Then came another battle they were going to prove their stuff. During the battle Air raid's leg was injured. Slingshot ran over to him to help. Then a droid came up and Slingshot whack him away. Then a blast came and Slingshot shielded Air raid.

"I am surprised," Air raid said. "I thought you were just a coward but you are protecting me after I was so mean to you," he said.

"I have to protect you, you my friend, and I use to be a medical shuttle and I am medic which means I put the injured and sick first," Slingshot said and quickly bandage Air raid's leg.

"There now we can both join in," Slingshot said.

Air raid got up and ran with Slingshot to the battle.

"Watch this you bots and cons," Maim said.

The Demodroids combined into a large robot. "Meet Destruction," Maim said.

"Stunticons now," Megatron said.

"Do it Aerialbots," Optimus said.

The Stunticons merged as did the Aerialbots.

"Whoa," Maim said.

"Surprise Maim meet Menasor and Superion," Optimus said.

The combiners clashed and defeated Destruction. "Demodroids retreat!" Maim said.

"Oh no Maim has the key still," Slingshot said and went after him and knocked the key away from Maim and blasted it. "Got it," he said and landed.

The other transformers came up to Slingshot. "Slingshot I owe you an apology," Air raid told him. "I shouldn't have assumed you were a coward because you didn't blast a droid when you first saw one in battle," he said. "I should have asked what made you choke at that moment instead of assuming, I was wrong, and thank you for protecting me when I was injured and treating me," he added.

"We are all sorry we shouldn't have jumped to conclusions you are a brave Aerialbot and Autobot," Blurr said.

"I say he's the bravest Aerialbot of all," Hot shot said.

"You did great, and I say this for all the Autobots and Decepticons present we will fight by your side any time Slingshot," Air raid said.

"Agreed," Dragstrip said.

"Slingshot you definitely proved yourself today as a valuable member of the team and I say you are going to help the Aerialbots reach new heights in more ways than one." Scavenger said.

"Good grief I'm blushing," Slingshot said.

After that the things were going to continue to change for all of us.
