Alright first, sorry if this took me a bit to get up, writers block. You know when you get excited about a future chapter, but you still have to write the present chapters... Ough it's so annoying. I also want to apologize if it seems a bit cheesy, my moms been needing me around the house so it's been write, work, write, work and I haven't had a solid writing time. Otherwise Enjoy.

Tuesday: 0700 hours, DECEPTICON FRAT HOUSE
Megatron was asleep in his darkened room, until he was rudely awakened by a girlish scream coming from as few rooms down from his. He growled, ripped the covers off of his body, and harshly opened the door almost taking the hinges clean off. The Decepticon leader watched as Knockout came out of the bathroom, his face as red as his hair, well his original hair anyways. Megatron couldn't help but silently laugh at the predicament as Knockout's hand rummaging through his hair, acting all frantic.
"STARSCREAM!" The medic yelled as the skinny SIC walked around the corner laughing. "You!... You switched my hair spray with... with PINK HAIR-DYE!" StarScream fell down laughing and holding his sides. Soon enough though he got up and took a picture with his phone, which was something new he had learned recently.
"Knockout you know as well as me, that you cannot give anyone that one chance."
"I think it suits you." They both looked to see Megatron leaning against his doorframe, trying to hold back a laugh.
"Lord Megatron, you must punish him for what he has done... I work hard to make sure my exterior is pristine and he has... has ruined it." Knockout said pointing to the culprit.
"Does this prank threaten my title?"
"Well... no." He answered confused.
"Then this is your problem." Megatron turned around and shut the door behind him, sometimes he really did not know what to do with those two.
Tuesday: 0900 hours, Megatron, Gym
Megatron growled and looked to the paper he held. This week he had nothing better to do, so he decided to go to his extra circular activity, as most called it. He walked down the hall and looked for room 215. When he got there he opened the door and let it shut on its own. A woman who looked as if she worked out walked up to him.
"Are you Megatron?" She asked.
"What's got you interested?"
"I'll be assuming so. You didn't show up on Saturday."
"That's my choice. Now what am I here for?"
"You're the new Wrestling and Boxing teacher." She pointed to a batch of bulky and scrawny teens and Megatron raised a brow. He walked over to them and folded his arms, giving a look to each one. They were wearing an outfit that he wouldn't even be caught dead in, whether human or cybertronian.
As he looked over them he had to silently admit that he didn't really know what Wrestling or Boxing was, all he had heard was that on it was mostly fake when shown on TV. He unfolded his arms and took in a deep breath. If he was to know what to do he would have to have a few demo's, but without the teens finding out about his loss in knowledge.
"You." He pointed to one of the bulkier boys. "...and, you." He then pointed to one of the scrawnier boys. "Demo." The two guys walked over to a mat and stood face to face while Megatron watched as they just stood there.
"Well are you going to tell them to go or what?" The woman asked stepping up to him, he glared at her and then turned his head to the men while rolling his eyes, why had he even come.
"Go!" The two boys started to fight, either throwing and dodging punches, swinging and dodging kicks, or grappling each other in body locks. Megatron smirked at what he saw, he was intrigued by the fighting techniques the men used. The Decepticon leader sat down on the bottom bench and watched.
"Aren't you going to stop them?" She asked.
"I'm waiting."
"For what! Death!?" She asked sharply and loud.
"Maybe." He looked up to her and saw that her face was heated, and her hand was clenching the small board. "Calm down." He said annoyed at her and she glared.
"Why did they even make a student a coach?" It was more of a question to herself them him. He stood up to his full height and saw that he was at least one foot taller than her, since he was 7'. She didn't step back or even act intimidated like how most acted around him, especially women. "If you're not going to call them off I will."
"Go ahead, I'd like to see you do it."
"Fine!" Before anything else they heard a gunshot in the building and looked to see the track coach holding up a smoke gun in his hand.
"Angie what is happening here, I come in for a snack, hear commotion, and when I walk over here I see this." His voice was raised, confused and irritated.
"Spineless here is to scared to tell them to stop fighting." She said stepping away from Megatron.
"I am not Spineless!"
"Prove it!" She said looking at him. He went to call off he fighting but saw the teens had already stopped to see their fight. The track coach looked at the scene and assumed everything could take care of itself, so he left without a word, Angie then turned to the men and gripped her board.
"Well don't just stand there! Get back in line!" The boys rushed back in line and watched her throw the board onto a bench and stomp off irritated.
"I can see that she is-" Megatron started letting the anger seep through.
"The wicked witch of the west." A boy interrupted.
"Dude the Grimm Reaper himself is scared of that woman." Another guy said and the others burst into laughter, except for Megatron who was lost in thought. The fighting was close to the fighting that had happened in the Pits of Kaon, except this was less violent. He remembered taking a few rookies under his wing to teach them how to fight in the Pits, although their learnings were short lived since he killed them off in combat. He looked to the teens and lifted his head up, maybe this would be better than he had thought, Angie walked back into the room and grabbed the clipboard... Maybe.
Tuesday: 0900 hours, StarScream, Air Field
StarScream walked to the air field. It was lined with jets and planes which made him feel more at home than the wretched house did. He looked over the jets but one caught his eye, and F-16 Fighting Falcon, the jet he had used as an alt-form before he had been transformed into the human species. It was a beautiful jet, with its slimmer frame and weapons, which seemed to of been removed, a necessary precaution. As he admired the jet he didn't notice a man walking up to him.
"Hi." StarScream, well screamed and jumped back. "Didn't mean to scare ya."
"I was just startled." He said annoyed and a bit embarrassed. "I was not expecting anyone to be there." The man shrugged and lent his hand out to StarScream and he shook it. The man had black hair and purple eyes, for clothing he had on a black and purple flight suit that seemed familiar.
"The names trevor, but everyone calls me NightWarp, due to my advanced flying at night. What's yours?"
"StarsScream."
"Is that your real name or just a nickname?"
"Nickname, I don't go by my real name." NightWarp nodded his head in agreeance.
"I found you, I thought you got lost, again." They looked to see another man running up to them. He had brown hair and dark blue eyes, and he wore a blue and silver flight suit that had hints of red in it, that also seemed familiar to him. He looked to StarScream and tried to smile, but anyone could tell he was exhausted from running. "Names Davian, but people call me ThunderBlaster." He lent out his hand and StarScream shook it, albeit disgusted by the sweat.
"StarScream." He answered watching as the two men talked and bickered, NightWarp seemed to be the immature one of the duo and ThunderBlaster seemed to be the more level headed one. That's when he thought of his two brothers, that's who they reminded him of, he couldn't help but invisibly smile about them, they were a great trine while it had lasted.
"Sorry about that, were due in the air and our third guy just bailed out. Something about being to chicken for some of the stunts." NightWarp said snapping StarScream out of his trance and he spoke before he had even thought.
"I could do it." He said a little to fast.
"Wha-" ThunderBlaster said confused.
"Uh, I know how to fly a jet, in fact I'm an expert. Just tell me the stunts and I could do it." The two guys looked at each other and then at StarScream.
"I guess, if you're not lying... We'll have to check in with our flight commander and make sure you're legit." They walked off and the Decepticon SIC panicked. He wouldn't be in any database since he was never in a flight school, Heck he wasn't even human. StarScream took out his phone and dialed a number, seconds later he started to talk.
"SoundWave, I need your help... I need you to make up some stuff about me being in a flight school, and not just any, I need it to be a top notch one." Silence. "I am your commanding officer and I demand that you do this." Again Silence, he looked to the jet and tapped his foot. "I'll do anything." He thought to what he just said and regretted it when he heard the silent tapping of computer keys. The next thing he knew the call ended and the two men walked up to him.
"Good news, the FC said you're all cleared, come with us and we'll get you ready." He followed them to the locker rooms, they gave him a flight suit that was silver and red and when he put it on he seemed to look like his cybertonian self in human form. They then walked back out and jumped into their own jets, each a F-16 Fighter falcon. Soon enough they set on their helmets and took to the skies. StarScream had to say that he enjoyed flying the skies again, it was much like his home away from home.
{Alright, you know the stunts that were going to do?} ThunderBlaster looked over to see StarScream nodding his head. {Alright, Positions everyone!} NightWarp dropped to the left while StarScream dropped to the right. Seconds later StarScream and ThunderBlaster headed straight for each other looking as if they were going to collide, while NightWarp came up from underneath. The trio looked as if a crash was eminent, but at the last second they flew on their sides, allowing ThunderBlaster and StarScream to be a feet from being belly to belly and allowing NightWing to fly in-between them giving the collision effect. From there they exited out of the stunt and landed back on the ground. The duo jumped out of their jets hi-fiving each other and hollering, while StarScream sat in his jet feeling like his insides were going to come out any second. He had no idea how weak humans were in jets, at least he now knew why they did flight simulations.
"Hey, you ok?" NightWarp asked lifting up the cockpit hood.
"Fine, just fine." He took in a deep breath and got out, the last thing he needed was people finding out he had lied. He wouldn't know which was worse, punishment from the air field or punishment from Megatron. StarScream shrugged off the thought of getting beaten and smiled the best he could. "You don't happen to have any restrooms?"
"In the building, sign shows you right when you walk in." He nodded once and walked away from them. "Dude seems a little sick."
"Eh, he probably hasn't been flying for a while. At least he didn't throw up like you did on your first flight." ThunderBlaster said elbowing NightWarp.
"I said to never bring that up!" ThunderBlaster shrugged and walked to the building. "Hey! Where do you think you're going!?"
"Lunch." NightWarp stopped talking and followed his brother to the lunch room oblivious to their new recruit who was watching. StarScream sighed deeply, he missed his brothers very much. But he tried not to dwell on the past, right now he had to be in the future to get by. StarScream walked from the air field and back towards the frat house. On his way there he spotted Stardust walking around the campus, the SIC turned the other way and hurried from her.
"No pranks today?" He jumped back to see StarDust right in front of him.
"Bu- You." He looked behind himself.
"Let's just say, watching you trying to sneak away is quite funny." Her arms were folded and her face was serious. "I have my eye on you, and I don't want to see anymore stunts."
"You should stay out of my business."
"Why are you even here? At college?"
"It wasn't much of a choice."
"Let me guess you listen to everything that brute tells you to do."
"Put it any way you want to, now go so I can think." SHe 'hmph'd' and walked off. StarScream went his own direction deciding to get a better view on the college, the more he knew about the college than Megatron, the better.
Tuesday: 0900 hours, SoundWave, Library
As soon as SoundWave passed through the large double doors to the library, silence encased him and the room. He walked to the librarian and put the books he had checked out in front of her.
"I see you finished them, you're a fast reader." He just starred at her with a blank face. "Ok, well here is your badge." She handed him a clip on plastic piece of paper. "This will tell people you work here and it will get you any book you want, even the classified ones." He clipped it onto his shirt and watched as the woman came from behind the counter, and he was surprised to see her in a wheelchair. "Oh, don't worry, I can get around pretty well. Follow me." She pushed herself along and he followed her around, listening to everything she was telling him. He had to say, even though it was gross being in a fleshlings body, he was learning some very intriguing information. When the tour was finished she went back to her station at the desk, and he started out by organizing a cart of books. It was exactly like what he had done on the nemesis, except for the on the warship he worked with computers, here he worked with actual hand held books.
As he was working with the books he spotted a girl walk down the isle and put away a book and look for another. He watched as she spotted one and tried to reach for it, but anyone could see that it was to high. Something in him told him to help her, but he shoved it off. As he heard her try to jump for it he caved in and walked over to her, SoundWave reached for the book and grabbed it. Next the TIC handed it to her and saw that her cheeks were turning a sharp pink.
"Thank you." She said eyeing the ground and not him. He nodded once and turned back around to finish his work.
"Shelbi?" He looked back to see a familiar looking girl turn the corner.
"Hey Cee, I found the book." She held up the book and he looked at it fully noticing that it was one about how to build water-guns. The other girl smiled and then looked up to see him looking at them.
"SoundWave?" She asked, but he didn't speak. She lifted her head up and directioned the girl away from him, that's when he realized that it was Arcee, the Autobots female warrior. He didn't really care if she was here, as long as she didn't bother him. SoundWave got back to work but was interrupted again by his phone vibrating in his pocket. He looked to it to see that it was StarScream. He silently sighed and answered the phone.
"SoundWave, I need your help... I need you to make up some stuff about me being in a flight school, and not just any, I need it to be a top notch one." He heard StarScreams frantic voice on the other end. He set down the books and turned to walk. "I am your commanding officer and I demand that you do this." He walked from his spot and sat down on one of the secluded computers, it took a while but it booted up. "I'll do anything." SoundWave smirked, only if the Commanding Officer knew that he was doing it, well he guessed he owed him now. He typed on the computer and once he was in, it only took him a few seconds to create up a identity for the Former Air Commander. Once he was done he hung up and got back to work.
It was silent for most of the day, the librarian had given him the rest of the day off for doing what she called a 'marvelous job'. SoundWave walked back to the Frat house, intending to read the new books he had checked out. When SoundWave got back to the house, he thought to when StarScream had said he owed him one, well there was nothing really that he wanted or needed from the SIC, but he had heard about the little dispute from this morning between him and Knockout. He smirked a bit, there was nothing ever said about him handing off the deal to someone else. Guess the SIC would have to learn a few things the hard way.
Tuesday: 0900 hours, Knockout, Science Building
Knockout walked into the science lab to see 2 students. Katharine being one of them and Donny being the other. The man glared at him with disgust plainly shown on his face. The woman on the other hand waved to him and smiled, he looked at the table to see the robotic arm waving too. He was surprised at her work, mostly he thought that humans were disgusting creatures that didn't know right from left, clearly for some he was wrong. Katharine slipped off a metal glove and walked over to him.
"How are you?"
"Fine... you?"
"Great, I'm almost finished with my hand." BOOM! Smoke immediately covered half the room, once it cleared he and Katharine looked over to Donny to see that him and half his table were covered in black soot. Knockout walked over to him and examined the liquids, shaking his head while doing so.
"Every scientist should know that these two compounds mixed together can be fatal, you're lucky that was such a small dosage."
"N-" Donny coughed up some smoke and waved it away. "Not my fault. They were labeled opposite of what they were." Katharine rolled her eyes and growled.
"Senior Graduates, they come in here whenever and just mix stuff up. A kid almost got sent to the hospital last year."
"Well at least you know it wasn't my fault." Donny said accusingly to Knockout.
"I wasn't saying it was your fault." The medic shot back.
"Sure sounded like it!"
"I can blame it on you if you want me to!" The two men started to bicker but were ripped apart by two hands.
"BOYS! This was no ones fault, just some stupid jerks who wanted to joke around."
"I am not a boy I am a man!" Donny said annoyed.
"Then act like it!" She pointed a deadly finger at him and then positioned it to Knockout. "And you... No leader should automatically accuse someone of a crime unless they have unbeatable evidence." She calmed down and stepped towards the door. "I'm going to go get a snack, if you two don't agree on something by the time I get back.-" She didn't finnish her sentence and she didn't have to. Katharine shut the door behind her and the two men looked to each other.
"Is it just me, or does it seem that she is the one leading us?" Knockout asked still looking at the door.
"It's not just you." Donny looked to the soot covered table and then to Knockout. "Look dude."
"Knockout."
"Uh... Knockout, sorry about being so rude, I just am not good with people trying to lead me... No hard feelings." He lent out his hand and knockout looked to it with disgust.
"Sure as long as I don't have to touch your hand." The man took it away and wiped it off onto his lab coat. As he was cleaning up the mess he couldn't help but keep starring at Knockouts hair. "Is your hair different?"
"Someone played a prank on me, that's all." He snapped back, quite frankly the talk about his ruined exterior just irked him. Donny shrugged his shoulders and threw away a few things.
"I guess I also see you as competition to getting her. I mean last time you were in here, you two kind of hit it off."
"You weren't exactly helping yourself there Donny, if you didn't react so badly to me telling the girl to go home, then I wouldn't of 'Hit it off with her'." he abbreviated the last few words.
"I guess, but you just seemed rude to her."
"Look, I know a few doctoral things. And the basic is over energization from caffeine." He only knew that because sometimes Cybertronians would enter a bit of high energon to regular energon to make it more of an energy drink, and he had seen the same reaction when to much was consumed. And plus he was a certified doctor, so he knew that kind of stuff.
"Where'd you learn it?" Knockout tensed, he had to make up something, his mind racked ideas letting him say what he thought was best.
"My si-father... He was a doctor and he would teach me."
"Cool, is your father still a doctor."
"He's dead."
"Oh, that sucks... Sorry for your loss."
"It's fine, the only time he was there for me was when he was teaching me." It was true, his father was more for the Decepticon cause then his own sparkling, but that was in the past, and he tried not to dwell in the past too much. Before either of them could speak up again, Katharine walked back into the room with a candy bar.
"I see you two made up." Donny nodded at her trying to clean off the soot from the table. She smiled and got back to work on her robotic arm, something they could both tell she took immense pride in.
Knockout stayed in the room for a little while longer until fully knowing that there was nothing he could do. He walked out and headed back to the Frat House, looking towards one thing. Washing his hair back to its original perfect color.
Tuesday: 0900 hours, ShockWave, Science Building
ShockWave was in his classroom reviewing some work and getting ready for tomorrow.
"Hey, how it g-g-going for y-you." He looked up to see Avery laughing, most likely at him. "Dude, your students have been talking about you non-stop. Yesterday was like a free comedy show to them."
"Why are you here?" His voice held annoyance.
"Homework, I had no other place to do it."
"Do it at home."
"Families to annoying." She pulled out a laptop and a few school books before sitting down at a desk.
It was silent for a while and ShockWave had completely forgotten that Avery was even there, until she walked up to him and dropped a paper in front of him. "I need help." He picked up the paper and handed it back to her, too enveloped into his work to help her. She shoved it in his face and pouted out her bottom lip angrily. "I can't figure it out."
"Call your teacher..." He stayed silent for a while until realizing that she was in high school. "Why aren't you at school?"
"Duh, science period, for these days it qualifies as my free period." He silently growled, this was not something he was looking forward to everyday.
"If I help you will you go." She nodded and he looked at the paper, to him the questions were easy and something he would do in his pass time, if he was bored enough. ShockWave told her how to figure out the problems and she thanked him before heading off to her other classes. He did kind of liked her spunk and willingness to come here everyday, even if she didn't have to, but there was just something about that girl that he couldn't quite place. ShockWave brushed it off and began working again hoping to get everything done before classes tomorrow.
Tuesday: 1900 hours, DECEPTICON FRAT HOUSE
When knockout had arrived back at the house, SoundWave had written a note telling Knockout that StarScream had owed him 'SoundWave' a favor but he was passing it onto him since he had nothing better to do with the favor. Knockout had taken the note without push and walked right into the bathroom hoping to fix his hair.
Megatron had come back and was digging around in the kitchen for something to eat growling and yelling ever few seconds that humans were weak and shouldn't have to eat so much.
ShockWave was still at his classroom doing his own stuff, really the others didn't care since most of what he did was boring. As they hung around the house a flyer slid under the door and Megatron picked it up, his angered frown became and intrigued smile. The flyer was advertising some kind of cage fight in "The Cavern'. The Decepticon Leader was missing a good fight, and maybe this was it.
StarScream was back by now and yelling at SoundWave for betraying him and willingly giving Knockout the favor. Knockout on the other hand was enjoying the temper tantrum and watching it with evil glinted in his eye. As the others were fighting, Megatron walked out and made his way over to 'The Cavern' a place he had passed a few timed before. As he walked there, the only light being the fading streetlamps, he passed a young boy who seemed familiar to him.
When Megatron got in he talked to the man behind the counter and he led him to a hidden room. The Decepticon Leader looked around to see people bruised, battered, and bloodied up, even one kid was being led out with a broken hand.
"Alright Who's Next!" A bulky man yelled just outside the box area. Megatron cracked his knuckles and neck, while stepping onto the place. "I see we have one contestant! Who will challenge him!?" A man about as big as Megatron stepped into the ring and folded his arms. "The Unbeatable Raging Ravage (TURR) is our challenger!" Cheers went around as the cage lowered down.
"I'm going to pound you into the ground so hard!" The other man said pounding his fist into his hand while Megatron just rolled his shoulders. They stayed in their silent positions for a while before going after each other. TURR left hooked his right cheek and made him spit out a bit of blood. Megatron dodged a few more hits before landing a hefty punch into the other mans stomach, which to most would be like steel, but to Megatron it was like normal human skin. He then rammed TURR into the cage making a tooth fly out of the mans mouth. 'Oohs' and whispers went around the room and Megatron smirked. The man flipped around and swift kicked Megatrons side making him stumble sideways, that was going to leave a mark. Megtron kneed him in the groin but the man only grimaced for a second. Next TURR lunged for Megatron but he moved out of the way and kicked his back making him fall to the ground on his knees. Megatron rammed his foot into the mans back on his spine and pressed down hard, making TURR yelp in pain and fully fall to the ground. 10 seconds passed and the cage lifted up.
"All hail Mighty Megatron." The former mech pushed the other man off of the ring and jumped down. This was definitely going to be fun, if he didn't run out of challengers to beat.
Rereading it, I see a bit of OOCness, Sorry bout that.
So I kind of felt bad for StarScream, how everyone kind of hates him in the story, so I put in a couple characters to resemble his brothers, sorry if they seem off from the original characters I haven't really watched much of the trio.
Please Reivew, Constructive Criticism Welcomed, if needed. I am taking a few future chap ideas if you have any that you would like me to get out there. Thanks to all who have Favorited, Followed, and Reviewed, it helps me to keep writing! Until next chap!
