Chapter 10

Optimus never felt so relieved in his life. His list of missing men was down from four to two—or one if he didn't count Spindle since from the look of things Spindle was a traitor.

"Rad!" Carlos yelled as the blonde boy began to sway almost falling before the strange yellow transformer moved his foot so Rad could lean on it. Carlos hurried to his friend.

"Are you ok, man?" Carlos asked.

"I'll be fine, just need some food," Rad smiled back.

"Didn't they feed you?" Carlos asked, getting angry at whoever it was that starved his Rad for the past two days.

"Yeah but it wasn't exactly loaded with carbs," Rad grimaced at the memory of the food he'd been given to eat. Thankgod he only had to eat it twice.

"You sure you're not hurt?" Carlos asked.

"I'm sure," Rad said with a small smile to his friend. Carlos still didn't look convinced. He started poking Rad randomly in the stomach and chest to see if there were any injuries. At Rad's glare he quickly pulled back.

"Maybe we should take the kids back to the base then come back for Sideswipe," Jetfire suggested… only to be met with three chilling looks from Sunstreaker, Blurr, and Rad… "Or not," he said quickly.

"Sideswipe can't wait. Spindle had no problem kidnapping an innocent human child—" Optimus was cut off.

"Since when am I an innocent?" Rad asked.

"Best not to let them know about the 'Day of a Thousand Jackhammers' incident," Carlos replied.

"That was you two?" Optimus asked incredulous.

"Maybe."

"As fascinating as the exploits of two fleshlings are, I'd prefer we stop wasting time when we could be rescuing my twin from his stupid mech-friend," Sunstreaker complained.

"Ex-mech-friend," Blurr growled.

"And I assume you're his new mech-friend?" Sunstreaker asked.

"Yes—No!" Blurr tried to amend to late.

Sunstreaker glared at him "You haven't combined anything with him have you?"

"No," Blurr said quickly.

"Why not?" Sunstreaker asked suspiciously.

"He's too young," Blurr answered hoping he sounded sincere.

"Good answer," Sunstreaker said. "And he will continue to be too young until you rust up and die."

"SUNNY!" Sideswipe yelled in the distance, breaking the somewhat humorous atmosphere.

Spindle froze mid swing when he heard Sideswipe scream that word. It couldn't be. His men had reported back to him that Sunstreaker was dead. They wouldn't have dared to lie to him. Sideswipe must have gone off the deep end finally.

Spindle leaned down and grabbed Sideswipe, hauling him up and pushing him against the wall. Insane or not, there was a reason he brought Sideswipe with him and damnit he was frustrated from the past two days of holding back.

"Umph!" Sideswipe cried when Spindle crushed his lips to his. 'Not again,' he thought dejectedly.

"Mmmm," Spindle always enjoyed kissing Sideswipe. Back when they were together Sideswipe had always kissed back with a certain naivety that had always made Spindle want to just lose control. But Sideswipe was very close to his stupid twin back then and that stupid twin could be easily reached if anything happened that Sideswipe hadn't completely agreed to. Which was exactly what happened. He'd taken things to far when he was angry and Sideswipe left a week later. Slag it felt good to have Sideswipe again.

"Arrrrr," the low-pitched growl was emitted from somewhere behind him. Spindle hurriedly broke the kiss and spun around to face… the group of three Autobots, two children, and a very angry looking Sunstreaker.

"Oh frag," Spindle cursed realizing Sideswipe hadn't gone off the deep end yet.

Crunch! Sunstreaker smirked as he felt Spindle's jaw give in a little. Not fully but enough to mar that slagging smug face that Spindle always wore. That face he wore when he forced Sideswipe into… Slag, he couldn't even think about it.

Slam! Spindle went flying in the direction of the opposite wall courtesy of Blurr's fist.

"Hey! He's mine!" Sunstreaker hissed at Blurr.

"I didn't hear you call dibs," Blurr replied stalking toward Spindle.

"I called dibs back on Cybertron," Sunstreaker hissed.

"I don't care who called dibs! Stand down!" Optimus ordered. Sunstreaker turned his glare on Optimus.

"Did you not just see what that piece of scrap was doing to my brother?" Sunstreaker hissed.

"Yes. And maybe you should be a little more concerned about seeing to your brother than punishing his attacker," Optimus suggested. Sunstreaker at least had the grace to look somewhat ashamed that he hadn't checked on his brother before launching himself at Spindle.

"Blurr. You and Sunstreaker can take Sideswipe and the boys back to the base. Jetfire and I will escort Spindle back," Optimus said leaving no room for argument.

Sunstreaker glared slightly but hurried to his twin's side and helped him to his feet.

"Hey 'Swipes," Sunstreaker said.

"Hey Sunny," Sideswipe greeted.

Sunstreaker looked down at the boys' who were now staring at him "What?"

"Dude… Your yellow," Carlos said.

"SO!"

Carlos just shook his head muttering "too bright"

"Where's this damn base of yours anyway?" Sunstreaker asked.

Blurr sighed. This was the beginning of a miserable acquaintanceship, he could already tell.

AN: Crappy ending I know. R&R One More Chapter and this is done.

Enforcer: What's the 'Day of a Thousand Jackhammers'?

Xandra: Rad and Carlos told the Minicons about pogo sticks and then got them a jackhammer since the pogo stick broke.

Brigg: How does that equal a thousand jackhammers?

Xandra: Those little guys are smart. They built some tricked out jackhammers for themselves once they knew the basic design concept.

Everyone: O.o
