The relative calm of the Athens City skyline was about to be shattered. Swoop and Skydive burst into the city at tremendous speed; the two daring Autobot air warriors zigzagged through the skyscrapers like flitting UFOs on a B-movie style rampage
Skydive streaked toward one of the colossal Human structures, as if on a collision course. At the last possible second he entered into a dramatic vertical climb, shooting up the side of the building and leveling out into a horizontal path, much to the amazement of Swoop. His Pterosaurian friend jetted to his side.
"Me wish Swoop could do that! That awesome Skydive!" squawked Swoop in child-like awe
"Thanks, I'll have to see about teaching you that. It's all in the timing of the lateral thrusters, you see..." Skydive stopped as he noticed that they were passing their destination. "I'll show you later, but for now, we're here." He transformed to robot mode, entering a gentle hover. Swoop did the same.
"C'mon, down here."
The two Autobots flew down to the street, landing outside a rundown looking store. The sign in the window said "Hartley's Military Antiques- For all your combat needs!"
The faded sign was written in distinctly 60's style lettering, not that Skydive noticed that. A grizzled looking old man emerged from the dirty little store, holding in his hands a DVD. He removed the cigarette he was smoking from his mouth and began to cough violently for a few seconds, before snorting back the thick mucus he had shaken loose and opening his mouth to speak.
Skydive knelt down and held out a hand. The man set it in Skydive's hand.
"Thanks, Jake." Skydive said.
"No problem, Skydive." Jake replied. "I saw one of your friends enter the bar across the street. I don't know his name. He is red and blue, if that helps any."
"Not really but we'll find out who it is." Skydive replied.
"Ok then, have fun." Jake said.
"I'll talk to you later Jake. Take care." Skydive said as Jake walked back into his store.
Skydive and Swoop walked across the street wondering who could be over there.
"What's in the box?" Swoop asked.
"Its old footage of dogfights from 1939 to present." Skydive replied.
"Who is over there? Me Swoop wants to know." Swoop said
"I don't know. It sounds like Optimus Prime but why would Prime be in a bar?" Skydive wondered.
The two Autobots walked in and to their surprise the red and blue Autobot they were seeking was Gears and he was singing Karaoke. Not only was he singing Karaoke, but also the song he was singing was "I Will Survive." They both started laughing. Gears noticed them.
"Oh damn." Gears thought to himself.
The two walked over to the singing Autobot.
"Hey Gears, how's it goin'?" Skydive said with a smile.
"If you tell anyone about this I will rip out your circuits and make you eat them." Gears said.
"Our lips are sealed." Skydive said.
"Good" Gears said.
"Well, I don't know about them though." Skydive said pointing to the back.
Apparently Eject and Rewind and snuck into the bar and observed Gears little secret.
"Eject, Rewind! If either of you say one little word I'll rip out your word processors."
The two cassettes made the motion of zipping their lips. Then they both laughed. Then they darted out the door.
