A Ghost Town From The Past Ch. 4
Most of you guys wanted Grimlock so this chapter is Grimlock's view and next chapter will be Strongarm's. I wonder why you guys don't like Strongarm, oh well.
Grimlock's View
The large dinobot ran out of the ground bridge as it closed. He looked around and scratched his chin in thought. He still didn't see the beautiful Earth that Bee was talking about, he only saw the muddy, watery, non-smashing and non-punching planet. He grinned and wagged his tail back and forth, he wanted to smash some stuff. He glanced at Bee when he vented and said, "See? Isn't it beautiful?" Grimlock looked around again and when he saw the weird mountain thingies in the distance, the first thought he had was, 'I want to smash those.' He shifted his large frame, he really wanted to smash something. The dinobot looked at Bee as he said, "Oh come on! This is great, you can go as fast as you want out here."
Grimlock shook his massive helm in disagreement, speed was nothing to him, he was more for the strength and smashing side of things. 'I really want to smash something, maybe Bee would let me smash something around here.' He turned his helm towards Strongarm as she was talking about something and damage. He looked at Sideswipe as he pointed at the femme and said, "Wait, so you don't like it out here?" Grimlock looked at the femme and slowly backed away as she narrowed her optics and nodded in agreement, 'I know that look, she's getting mad.' He looked back at Sideswipe as he happily transformed and yelled, "In that case I love it here!" Grimlock watched Sideswipe speed off and he just ignored what Strongarm said as she transformed and sped off after the red bot.
Well, that was boring. "Those two should just tell each other already." Drift said. Grimlock scratched his helm, he didn't understand what Drift said. "Tell each other what?" Bee walked up to the dinobot and put his hand on the dinobot's shoulder, "It's nothing Grim, but let's go catch up to them." Grimlock thought for a moment about what Drift said as Drift and Bumblebee transformed into their car modes. What should Strongarm say to Sideswipe? Or Sideswipe to Strongarm? He shrugged and started to run after the two cars following the tracks left by Sideswipe and Strongarm.
He ran as fast as he could but his speed was still considered slow by the other Autobots. His purpose was for smashing stuff, not for going really fast. At least Drift and Bee were going pretty slow so he wouldn't fall behind. He looked to his side and he still saw those wide mountain thingies. He got excited, and he only had one thought, 'Smash.' He vented, Bee probably won't allow him to smash anything around here. Bee would say something like 'Why would you want to destroy something so beautiful?' Grimlock snorted, that sounded just like their leader alright. Sideswipe's voice came over the comms, "Hey guys, we found something." Grimlock grinned, maybe this time he could punch something or maybe someone. Bumblebee answered Sideswipe, "What did you find? A Decepticon?" The big dinobot looked at the yellow car, so Bee was excited too, maybe he likes punching things too. "Better see for yourself."
Grimlock grinned, his sharp teeth revealed, he so hoped it was a Con. He really wanted to punch something. Bee put on a burst of speed, "Well you heard Sideswipe, come on." Grimlock noticed the two cars started to pull ahead of him. He was already running as fast as he could go, he couldn't catch up. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up." He said. "Okay Grim," Bee shifted gears and floored it as did Drift. Grimlock was left in a cloud of dust. He grumbled, sometimes being slow did have it's draw backs. He tried to push himself to go faster but his legs wouldn't go any faster. He vented, it would be a long run to where ever the others where at. At least now he had time to think.
But what to think about? He looked around hoping to find something that would make him think of something. Nothing. This was so boring he thought sadly. He looked down and stopped running. There were bits of gray and yellow beneath the sand. He moved his large helm down to the ground and smelled the sand. Besides the dry sandy smell there was a scent of cement and very old paint. He scratched his helm. That wasn't normal was it? This planet was supposed to be all organic wasn't it? Grimlock transformed into his bot form and wiped the sand away to see what was beneath it. He blinked, it was a road. That was not normal. Grimlock looked ahead to try and see where the road would lead to but all he saw was more desert. Well at least this is exciting, better than just thinking about nothing.
Grimlock transformed into his dinobot mode and continued to run. He would look down every now and then to make sure he was still on the road. 'This road must not be used by the humans if it's covered up in all this sand.' The dinobot thought to himself. As he was running his mind began to wonder to a place he didn't like to think about. His past. He shook his helm, not now, he didn't want to think about his past. But it seemed his mind had it's own plan. Even though he was still running his mind brought him to the first place he remembered.
A laboratory.
He was in a tank with liquid in it. He would spend Orns upon Orns in there. The only thing he would see outside the tank was a few other blurry tanks with other bots that looked like half animals in them and a bot that had one optic. The mech would look at him for a few Klicks and then would move on to another tank. When he was finally released from the tank the one optic mech told him that he was a weapon for the Decepticon cause. He didn't flinch as the Decepticon symbol was braded on him. The mech told him that he could punch and smashed whatever he wanted.
Grimlock was pulled out of his thoughts as something tripped him and he landed on his stomach hard. He shook his helm to get rid of the stars he was seeing. He got up and looked it see what tripped him. He blinked, it was a human traffic sign. He moved around it so he could read it. Jasper, 5 miles.
Uh oh, a city. He couldn't seen by any humans. He looked at the sign again, it looked really old. It was rusting and falling apart. Maybe the city is abandoned, like in those scary movies Russell had showed him a few days ago. The dinobot looked up and tried to see the city but it was to far to see. 'At least it's only 5 miles, it could be worse,' he thought. He followed the road for a few miles and smiled when he saw his teammates. As he got closer his smile faltered. Something was wrong, Bee was on his knees and the others had surrounded him. He came up on the others. They didn't notice him get close he when he was twenty feet of them something caught his optic. He looked beyond his teammates and his optics went wide in shock. There was a city in front of them but it was destroyed. No human could live here, nothing could. Buildings were falling apart and burn marks littered the streets. He blinked, someone had really smashed this place up. He looked at his friends and back at the city.
'Was this Jasper?'
A/N... Sorry if Grimlock seemed a bit OC, I'm really not sure how to write him. His view is really hard to write because he likes punching and smashing and to be fair, he's really not that bright. For Grimlock's flashback thingy you can think what you want. Who was the one optic mech? What does this mean about Grimlock? Even I don't know about that one. Tell me what you think about that. Since Strongarm is the only one left the next chapter will be Strongarm's view. Sorry for the lack of updates on this story and the others. I just started college and it's kind of hard so I've been studying a lot to stay ahead and get good grades. Please review!
