Chapter 6: The Past Pt. 2
While Bee, Optimus, Starscream and Soundwave were away visiting different past events, the others were looking for them. Megatron checked all over his house. Steve, Kenny, Arcee and Airachnid looked around Starscream's house. SkyQuake, Breakdown, Shockwave and Knock Out checked Soundwave's house. And Cliff, Barricade, Makeshift and Bulkhead checked Bee's house. Each house had a letter that said: "Gone away to different times in the past. Be back later this evening."
"Looks like Bee's gonna find out soon!" Barricade said after reading Bee's version of the note.
"Yeah, I wonder how that's going to turn out." Makeshift said a little worried.
"Aw man, those four always bring the good times to us. What are we going to do all day?" Bulkhead asked as everyone had formed a little meeting.
"Makeshift, can't you shape-shift into any one of us?" Arcee asked.
"Yeah he-he, why?" Makeshift asked.
"Can you turn into...Knock Out?" Breakdown asked pointing to Knock Out who look confused.
"I don't know, let's see!" Makeshift said as his body began shaking. The spikes around his sides disappeared, his claws shortened, his dark plating began lighting up red, wheels formed and soon enough Knock Out was seeing his double.
"I do look good!" Knock Out said.
"Oh man I forgot, shape-shifting into someone else changes my voice to match theirs." Makeshift said face-palming.
"DO ME, DO ME!" Cliff said excitedly.
Makeshift's Knock Out form shape-shifted into a Cliff look-alike.
"Awesome!" Cliff said looking him all over.
"Are you sure that doesn't hurt?" Barricade asked.
"Not really!" Makeshift said in Cliff's voice before returning to his normal form and his plating quickly turned dark. "And now I am tired." he added resting an arm on Barricade's shoulder who surprisingly took it.
Meanwhile somewhere in the past, the group of four were still traveling. They had, at this point, visited 6 different events and it was Starscream's turn to pick.
"Hey Soundwave, remember that little story I told you on our first day of High School about the girls fighting in front of me?" Starscream asked.
"Yeah, let me guess, you want to see it?" Soundwave asked.
"Yeah, let's do it!"
Two days before High School...
Soundwave transported all of them two days before High School. As they ended up materializing in a flash of green light, the realized they have arrived high in the air. Optimus and Bee screamed as they fell but Starscream and Soundwave caught them while laughing.
"Not cool!" Bee said.
As they landed they realized they were at the Iacon Park again. This time past Soundwave, Cliff, Bulkhead and Megatron were not there. Instead, past Bee and Optimus were watching a fight between two femme's. Past Starscream was sitting on a bench as he saw the femme's brawling nearbye him. He laughed and pointed while Optimus and Bee walked over to him.
"Do you really like seeing femme's fight?" Bee asked.
"Of course it's awesome!" Starscream said still laughing.
"That's so immature dude!" Optimus said.
"It was!" Present Optimus said.
"Whatever!" Present Starscream said rolling his optics.
Finally past Knock Out, Breakdown and Shockwave arrived to break the femme's up. Well, mostly Breakdown and Shockwave since Knock Out didn't want to mess up his paint.
"I am not messing my paint up to stop a fight!" Past Knock Out said and crossed his arms.
"Ugh!" Past Breakdown grunted and helped Shockwave.
"Come on guys let's go before those femme's see me!" Past Starscream said as past Optimus and Bee followed.
"Knock Out's still a little selfish!" Present Bee said.
"Tell me about it!" Present Optimus said.
"Okay this was good in all but let's go to the day before the incident occured." Starscream said.
Day before the incident...a week before meeting Optimus...
Soundwave finally teleported them to the day before the incident. They watched as 3 year old Bee was shown being taken care of by 4 year old Barricade and Makeshift. They were playing with him and telling jokes. This brought present Bee to tears of happiness.
"Wow, they really do treat me as if they were my brothers." Bee said. "But how did I forget about all of this?"
"Well, usually memory files are just beggining to function the first few years of a cybertronian's life." Optimus said. "None of us remember much of our very early lives either."
Soundwave put a servo on Bee's shoulder.
"Bee...are you ready?" Soundwave asked. Bee looked at him with seriousness in his optics.
"I'm ready..."
