AN: 5th one...I'm struggling with this one but oh well right?
Anyway, I do not own Barricade or Frenzy.Hasbro does , but I do own NiteFire
A few weeks later Barricade found himself waking up every morning in a small driveway behind an old marron Mazda. It didn't seem functional, but it was a junky car, or as the girl said "A screaming metal death trap." Next to him often sat a white Mazda Millenium. Unfortunatly ,according to the older woman, it had sustained damage during an ice storm that this place suffered before he ever arrived. It looked almost fine to him besides a few small dents and the right side mirror had been knocked off, but was intact because of some blue duct tape.
The small blueish house was surrounded by trees, and was in a location a few miles out from the actual city. Barricade liked where he was, it was quiet and no one really bothered him. Besides the cats that occasionally sit on top of the hood and leave little pawprints all over him, he was perfectly content with where he was. He rarely ever got the chance to leave the parking place, but sometimes the girl managed to coax her mother into letting Barricade drive to the school. He didn't like it much, too many humans for his taste, but usually after the five minute torture he got to return to his post in front of the quiet house.
One late afternoon on a Tuesday, Barricade was having a staring contest with the large grey cat called Morpha, who was sitting on the car infront of him. Unfortunatly for the cat, he didn't know the ranger was staring at him, so he continued life like nothing ever existed. "Haha! I win again! Stupid human pet! You will never beat me!!" Barricade thought to himself triumphantly.
A soft sound of an engine caught his attention. He looked in the rear-veiw mirror and saw a very familiar police cruiser pull into the small driveway. The Saleen transformed quickly and morphed back into the behomoth NiteFire. Frenzy sat merrily on the sea blue armored left shoulder. The fat cat instantly charged away as fast as he could go and refused to stop and look back. Barricade transformed into a slightly different form. He was a bit taller and all mostly white. Frenzy covered laughed hysterically and even fell off of the giant's shoulder.
"YOU LOOK SO FUNNY IN WHITE!!!!!" Frenzy screamed as he rolled in laughter. Barricade glared at Frenzy, who after a while decided color was no longer a funny thing to laugh at. "Come on Barricade, let's go. We still have to figure out what happened to the rest of the Decepticons." NiteFire said motioning to his friend to come closer. Barricade refused. "No. I like it here. Why can't we stay?" He said in his usual relaxed voice. Frenzy gawked at Barricade, and even NiteFire opened his eyes to stare at his companion, which did no good.
"Why would you want to stay here? This place is much to small for your size, let alone his" Frenzy exclaimed and gesturing a clawed hand towards NiteFire's black foot. The behemoth's armor shifted and crawled away from his face, revealing a scarred black and white cat-like face. His large opaque eyes hypnotically fixed themselves on some part of Barricade's face. "You would rather stay here and deal with the humans?" NiteFire asked scratching the top of his furry head. The spiky fur almost reseambled hair as it flowed over the creatures large hollow horns that began after his nose.
"Yes. I would. They are nice to me. Especially the girl." Barricade spoke, glancing away from the mesmerizing eyes. Frenzy looked up at him with a confused look, hinted behind a very sad one as well. "But, what about us? Where will we go?" Frenzy sadly questioned. NiteFire glanced at Frenzy, then he glared at Barricade. "What about the humans. They will torture you, just as they did when you and I were caught and had to go through hell at that place called Sector 7. Remeber what they did to me? Remember what they did to you?" NiteFire snarled at Barricade. He even made sure brandish his fangs as he waited for an answer.
Barricade did remember. The constant pain hin his limbs and the constant aching were only the beginning of his problems. "Those injuries are the only reason we should stop fighting." Barricade replied, not intimidated by NiteFire's evil glare. Frenzy nearly fell over at what Barricade was saying. NiteFire, who was in disbelief of his partners words, managed to stutter, "You mean...re-tire?"
NiteFire lowered his head in sorrow. In his mind he was thinking of how young he was compared to his companions. There was no way he could retire at such a young age. He still had so much fight in him. His thoughts were inturrupted by Barricade shouting. NiteFire looked over his shoulders. His arua sense picked up that three humans were approaching the house. With one last glare at Barricade, the behemoth muttered something in cybetronian. "We will be back Barricade. And I refuse to retire!"
With that said Barricade and NiteFire simultainiously transform. The door to the Saleen opened violently to let Frenzy in and slammed shut after he did so. The tires squealed as the cruiser roared backwards onto the street and sreeched away angrily out of Barricade's sight. A unfamiliar white car pulled into the driveway and 2 teenagers climbed out of the backseat. One was familiar to Barricade, but the other was new to him.
"See? Isn't is cool ?" Alex said trying to peek the boy's intrest. "It's nice." he replied dully. Alex glared at him as she ranted at him about how he never shows appreciation for things. He just followed her inside and that's the last Barricade saw of them for a while. For the rest of the night, NiteFire's words buzzed through his process core. He felt regret for his words, but at the same time, he felt happy that he finally stood up to NiteFire's exasperating ways
