Author's Note: I apologize now for a short chapter but I hope to have another one done in the next day or so with the basis of possibly an actual plot. For now I just hope you'll enjoy the insanity that will follow in this chapter. Thanks to Riptide2 (no kidding!) and I am Blueberry for reviewing the last chapter! I own nothing but my OCs
What It Takes To Live- If You Give A Crab A Machine Gun
"A computer once beat me in chess but it was no match for me at kickboxing"
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were bored and there happened to be crabs around. That was what started everything. That and a question. It ended in disaster.
"If you give a crab a machine gun does it make the crab an artillery weapon?" Sideswipe asked.
"No," Sunstreaker said in a duh voice.
"Why not?" Sideswipe said. "Scorponok has machine guns."
"He isn't artillery though," Sunstreaker argued.
"How would you know?" Sideswipe replied. "I thought he was." That was when Skywarp could take it no more and fell out of the sky laughing.
"And they say I'm the idiot," he snickered, not realize that baiting the already annoyed "twins from the Pit" was not a good idea. Sunstreaker lunged for the irritating flier with a growl. Skywarp let out a startled squeak and warped a good fifteen feet away, instantly taking to the air. The brief respite from their argument had not calmed down either twin however. Both went back to patrolling, shooting angry glares at each other. Skywarp meanwhile reported what he had heard to Thundercracker.
Since Thundercracker knew and kept an open bond with his spark mate Nieva knew too which naturally meant that Interra and Nightfury were aware of the stupidity as well. That in turn allowed the rest the Decepticon Seekers to find out. Naturally the story spread quickly from that moment on. Meanwhile Sideswipe and Sunstreaker had decided to find a slightly unconventional answer to their question. They attached a machine gun to a crab.
Naturally they decided the gun had to fire and that was the entire problem with their plan. The first mech the rather irate armed crab came to happened to be Jazz. His yell of surprise when a crab suddenly started firing bullets at him had the twins cackling from their hiding place. It was when the crab started firing at Optimus Prime that everything went south.
Since the story of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker's argument had been spread around the base Ironhide knew exactly who to go looking for when his leader ended up in the med bay. Unfortunately he was not the first one to find the twins. Flashfire's irate voice could be heard for miles around and the twins' protests were nothing but stutters in the face of her wrath. Evidentially Optimus was not the only leader who had run into a gun totting crab before the creature had run out of ammo. A smirking weapons specialist had left the twins to their fate. After all the pranks they had pulled recently they deserved whatever they got.
The final tally was crab: 3, Flashfire: 2, and Twins: -5 and a good long stay in the brig. Nothing out of the ordinary. Well except for the crab.
