Chapter 6: Race and troubles
Nemesis: Control room
One week has pass since the Abaddon case. The decepticons are working has usual except Knock Out who appears to be...showing symptoms of a certain dependency that he hasn't calm down. It wasn't about his paint since he's currently in perfect shape. He didn't warn the others but he really needs to race. He was created for that in the first place. He hasn't done any race since the civil war of Cybertron and it is really starting to bug him now. He finds a place where to race...But that place needs to show their face...A human one of course and he isn't a human. At first, he thinks he can ask Julia who has a permit, but she almost never talk and she won't do this for him. She only talks in very critical situation and that's not always the case. Even on facebook or twitter she doesn't write a lot. He thinks about Hasher but he doesn't have a permit to drive. Yeah...He will never accept to do something illegal without at least something to make him fell less bad about it...Like not violating 2 rules but only one. He knows streets racing is illegal but is that desperate to race.
He hears the request of a bridge.
"The humans are coming again." Says Knock Out.
Only Silver enters in the control room and only Hasher is present today.
"Where are the others?" Asks Kickback also present in the control room.
"Julia and Mullen are with her mother who has a day off. So they are taking a day together...It doesn't happen often so they take their chance. Arielle must is sick and she's still waiting in line to see what she has. It's a benign one so nothing to worry about." Says Hasher.
"Hasher! Good to see you today." Says Shockwave when he enters in the control room. "You were absent yesterday...Why?"
"I finally receive my permit to drive!" Says Hasher. "After all we've been through with this Abaddon danger, I've told myself that there's nothing to free about it and I pass it with good results. I can finally drive on my own...Even if I won't really do it."
"That's good." Says Shockwave.
Knock Out hears this: One problem solve...I just need to convince him.
"How's it going here?" Asks Hasher.
"Everything is fine. I have to correct a few things with the sonar." Says Shockwave.
"Why?" Asks Hasher.
"Well...1 vehicons on 15 have the urge to dance when it is on...I think it's strong magnetic interference of my sonar...Your friends sees this yesterday." Says Shockwave.
"What type of dance?" Asks Hasher.
"Duck dance." Says Shockwave. "If it was only the vehicons...Megatron was affected too."
"Of...My...God!" Shouts Hasher surprise.
"Yeah...Very not you can expect. So I'm correcting it right now." Says Shockwave.
"Can I co-" But Hasher was cut.
"I think it is best you let him correct this...We don't want to see them doing a more humiliate dance like the D-602 dance on Cybertron." Says Knock out.
"...Alright...Good luck Shockwave." Says Hasher.
"...Thanks..." Shockwave walks out but he says to Knock Out. "I don't know what you're up too but leave Hasher out of this." He then walks away.
Knock out checks around and no vehicon or Insecticon were presents. He misses Kickback who was hiding to prank Knock Out.
"Good...Hasher...I need your help with something." Says Knock Out.
"...What is it?" Asks Hasher wary. Knock Out doesn't really talk to the humans unless absolute necessary or a favor that can turn bad.
"I need you to help me to participate in a street race this night at Jasper Nevada." Asks Knock Out.
"What?!...A street race." Shouts Hasher. "That's the most...Bad idea ever suggest to me! I only got my permit yesterday! I won't risk of losing it the next day!"
"Come one! With me you will have no trouble and I won't let you getting hurt." Says Knock Out.
"Never! Nothing you'll say will convince me to follow you!" Says Hasher.
2 hours later: Jasper Nevada: Night
Knock Out, in his car form rolls to the line where the cars are preparing for the race. Hasher was inside the car and was ready for the race. Hasher was extremely nervous and unsure about this.
"Remind me how you convince me to come here?" Asks Hasher.
"I say they are hot sugar here." Says Knock Out.
"You mean sexy girl...Why did I have to let that trap me? It's a bad idea...If Shockwave found out about this he'll be so angry...If my parents found out...I'm dead and bury in the ground for a day before being bring back to life and be killed again." Says Hasher.
A sexy girl passes near the window. She hit the window 2 times and Hasher lowers the window.
"Yes?" Asks Hasher looking at the breast. After one second he looks at the girl eyes.
"You seem...A little too young to race here...You're new?" She asks.
"Yeah!" Says Hasher.
"That'll be...Interesting." Says the girl. She then walks away and takes the flag.
"You sure are a little slag! Looking at her generous chest flesh like that." Says Knock Out.
"You're not a human so you can't understand." Replies Hasher turning red.
"Well...She'll soon give the signal." Says Knock out.
"Do you know where to go?" Asks Hasher.
"Rolls at max speed and violate all possible laws and leave you to the police." Says Knock Out.
"Wh- NOT FUNNY!" Screams Hasher.
"Relax. It's a strait race so there's no problem." Says Knock Out. "It's just a very long track we have to follow."
The girl raises the flag; all cars make sounds and are ready to roll. She drops the flag and all cars roll at max speed. Smokes appear and Knock Out passes near the girl and he was third in the race.
"That wasn't my best start." Says Knock Out.
"Ohmygod I'm sodeadsodead!" Hasher freaks out.
Nemesis: Control room
"Hasher? Hasher? Where are you?" Asks Shockwave.
He then continues asking the vehicons if they see him.
"Did you see Hasher?" Asks Shockwave.
"You already ask me not long ago." Says the vehicon.
"I must be the worse guardian that can exist in the world." Says Shockwave.
"Shockwave?" Asks Kickback.
"Kickback? What do you want? Did you see Hasher?" Asks Shockwave.
"Yeah. I see him when you leave. I was hiding so I can prank Knock Out when I hear him talking to Hasher." Says Kickback.
"I know it! I shouldn't have left Hasher alone! What did he says?" Asks Shockwave furious and worry.
"He asks him to participate in a race. He says that he needs a human because the racers need to see the human driving it...So he asks Hasher to accept but he refuses." Says Kickback.
"So he takes him by FORCE?" Asks Shockwave.
"No...He convinces him after 30 minutes...In human term...He says that there's...Hot sugars there. He then accepts, but he then tries to back down when he realises that he says yes but Knock Out takes him and they are racing right now." Explains Kickback.
"I see..." Shockwave checks for hot sugar and the answers was...He immediately closes it. "He uses that to convince him."
He then wonders who he should call...He first think calling Megatron...But he will be mad and it will fall on Hasher...He then thinks of Starscream...He then revert to Megatron...It must fall on Hasher as a punishment.
"Megatron...We have a possible problem."
At the race
"You finally calm down!" Says Knock Out.
"...I...just...out...breathe." Says Hasher trying to breath.
"Calm down...I promise nothing will happen to you." Says Knock Out.
The races continue and Knock Out passes front the left to be second. He then keeps rolling until a hard turns come. He turns left without any problem and he continues following the guy who's first. He tries passing to the left but the race rolls to the left. Knock Out then tries to the right and the other one blocks him again.
"Think he can block me?" Asks Knock Out. He makes a smirk sound.
He then moves outside the road and he jumps over the car and he lands in front of it with the shout of fear by Hasher.
"We are first and everyone else is behind." Says Knock Out. "Calm down Hasher."
He then turns without any problem.
"See? There's nothing to worry about." Says Knock Out to reassure him.
A yellow car appears behind them.
"I didn't see it at the start." Says Hasher.
"...Scrap what I say...We have a problem." Says Knock Out.
"Who is it?" Asks Hasher.
"Bumblebee...An autobot." Says Knock Out.
"Why did I say yes?" Whines Hasher.
"Hot sugars." Says Knock Out.
"SHUT UP!" Says Hasher. "THIS IS NOT THE TIME!"
"He's not stupid. He won't shoot at us n-" Bang! "Nope...He won't hesitate." Says Knock Out.
"If I die, I'm going to hunt you and if you die too I'll kick you're spike!" Shouts Hasher.
"Yeah yeah." Says Knock Out. "...How do you know about that?"
"I hear Joker talking about it!"
Knock Out rolls to the left and dodges a few blasts.
"You know the human equivalent?" Asks Knock Out.
"Yeah...and it's really painful." Says hasher.
Knock Out rolls to the right.
"At least, it's only him after us." Says Knock Out.
A motorcycle falls from the air and crushes Knock Out hood and passes over him and turn around.
"MY PAINT!" Screams Knock Out.
"DON'T SAY ANOTHER FUCKING WORD! EACH TIME THERE'S MORE TROUBLE!" Screams Hasher. He was telling the true and Knock Out didn't reply.
The 2 autobots shoots at Knock Out who's dodging the blast. He then brutally turns to the left and get out of the road. He then turns around and rolls backward and he fires at the 2 autobot who gets hit by the blast.
"That's for my hood paint!" Shouts Knock Out.
He is hits by Arcee when she fires back at him and a burn part appears at the windshield. Hasher was affect by the vibration and he hits the steering wheel and he loses consciousness. Knock Out feels the contact and he checks on Hasher and he sees him knock cold.
"Hasher?...No..." Says Knock Out. "YOU'LL PAY AUTOBOT!"
He then fires a few times again before he turns the other side and rolls forward once again and accelerates at maximum.
"Hasher...Please tell me you are aright...Great...Shockwave will offline me." Says Knock Out. He continues rolling away, being pursuit be the autobot and dodges the laser of the autobot.
In the sky of the road race
"Knock Out...That bastard cuts the communication when he takes Hasher!" Shouts Megatron. "I'll scratch him paint just to be sure he remembers his lesson."
"If anything happens to Hasher...I'll do more than scratch him paint!" Shouts Shockwave.
"Hum...I guess I'll take a safety distance." Says Starscream followed by Soundwave.
"Where is he?" Asks Megatron.
"Found him." Says Soundwave with Knock Out voice.
"GRAAHH!" Screams Megatron and Shockwave.
"Soundwave...Don't use Knock Out voice...I want to stay online." Whines Starscream.
"We will follow you." Says Megatron.
They turn to the left.
Outside the road
"Please Hasher! You have to wake up!" Shouts Knock Out. "I...I have no choice but to transform with you inside."
He first checks himself if he can do that safety for Hasher and when he knows it...He immediately transform. He jumps in the air and he falls on his pede and shoots at the 2 autobots who transform and fires at him. Knock Out runs to a cover while keep firing and he hides behind a solid rock.
"Wake up Hasher...No! Not now!" Says Knock Out.
He then fires back when the autobot stops shooting. He then remembers he forgot something. He puts his communication on and:
"KNOCK OUT!" Immediately screams Megatron. "YOU GLITCHING CONS! WHAT DID YOU DO?"
"You know that Megatron." Says Soundwave with multiple voices except Knock Out voice.
"I'm sorry but I'm under fire right now." Says Knock Out.
"IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HASHER I'LL DO MORE THAN SCRATCH PAINT!" Screams Shockwave.
"I KNOW...JUST HURRY UP!" Screams Knock Out.
"Hum...What's going on?" Asks Hasher inside Knock Out body.
"Don't freak out! I'm in robot mode...Please don't more...I'm fighting right now." Says Knock Out. "When everything is over...Please say you are not injured...I don't want more than paint scratch."
"Alright...That's impossible...I have a big mark on my head." Says Hasher.
Knock Out is hit at his shoulder.
"That's hurt!" Winces Knock Out.
3 lasers fall from the skies and fire at the 2 autobot. They decide to retreat since they are outnumbered.
When they run away...Megatron and Shockwave turn around and look at Knock Out. Knock Out back away a little and chuckle nervously.
"Where...Hasher?" Asks Shockwave when he was sure the autobot wasn't there.
"He's alright." Says Knock Out. He points his body and whispered to return to the Nemesis now.
The bridge opens and they return to the Nemesis.
Medic room
Knock Out changes into his car mode and Hasher gets out of it.
"That's...Freaky." Says Hasher.
Knock Out turns back to his robot form.
Shockwave takes Hasher in his servo and looks at him.
"Knock Out...You...Hasher is injured because of you!" Shouts Shockwave. "And you...Why did you enter in the race in the first place?! Why did you let sugar girls-"
"Hot sugars" Corrects Knock Out.
"Why that?" Asks Shockwave.
"..." Hasher didn't answer and stops looking at Shockwave.
"Look at my optic...Why?" Asks Shockwave more softly..
Hasher takes his courage and he looks at Shockwave optics.
"I'm a teenager...This is my weakness...I...I'm sorry...I...I disappoint you." Says Hasher.
"It's alright." Says Shockwave. "What on your face?"
"Well...A minor injury." Says Hasher.
...
...
...
"...K-N-O-C-K...O-U-T..." Says Shockwave.
"It was an accident! I take all the damage of the autobot and my paint is already scratched!" Says Knock Out.
"You put Shockwave charge in danger!" Says Megatron. "Give me one reason to not scratch your paint more?"
"I'm already scratched.." Tries Knock Out.
"Not a good one." Says Megatron.
"Knock Out...Which part of Cybertron have you been created?" Asks Starscream.
"Race city." Answers Knock Out.
"Everything is clear now!" Says Starscream.
"What do you mean?" Asks Megatron.
"It's simple. Knock Out is created for being a racer and he's clearly missing something for a while." Says Starscream.
"It is like you Starscream. If you can fly you are going crazy. Me...It's race. I always race on Cybertron but since the beginning of the war...I haven't race at all. It's so long because I haven't race...I really really need it and I was desperate enough to ask Hasher to help me." Admits Knock Out.
"Why haven't you said anything sooner?" Asks Megatron.
"Because I don't want to disturb all of us...Where at war and this is a minor detail." Says Knock Out.
"And you don't hide anything about your paint?" Asks Shockwave shaking of fury and trying to stay calm.
"That's my weakness." Says Knock Out to Starscream. "You're weakness cowardice."
"Touché." Says Starscream.
"You still need to be punished!" Says Shockwave. "You put Hasher in danger!"
"I'm alright! It's my fault too...I could just have say no." Says Hasher.
"I'm sorry..." Says Knock Out.
"Hey!" Says Steve entering in the Medic Room.
"Steve?" Asks Megatron.
"I hear what's going on...Knock Out...Why didn't you ask us?" Says Steve. "We could have find a solution. Like...Doing race between us. We vehicons are surely offer better competition than other humans...No offense."
"None taken." Says Hasher.
"Maybe one day we shall do one someplace safe." Suggests Steve.
"When he shall be heal of his punishment." Says Shockwave. He then puts Hasher in Steve servo.
"Shockwave...Don't come any closer...Starscream...Soundwave...Megatron...Help..." Asks Knock Out.
"Time to get out of here." Says Starscream.
Everyone get out of the Medic room.
"You are lucky to already be in the medic room Knock Out...Time to give the human meaning of your name." Says Shockwave.
A long and painful screams his hear and echo in the Nemesis for an hour...And Knock Out only screams a minute.
2 days later
"You sure heal fast Knock Out." Says Steve.
"Yeah...I'll never make Shockwave angry once again." Says Knock Out.
"Lesson you've take." Says Joker. "He puts me in the same stated when I anger him with one of my jokes."
"He did this to me too." Says Kickback. "My head was trap at the top of a cavern for a week."
"I remember that one." Says Joker. "I laugh my arf of this!"
"So...Are you ready?" Asks Starscream.
The vehicons and Knock Out transform into their vehicle form.
"Where's Hasher?" Asks Knock Out.
"Shockwave didn't spare him. He won't talk to Hasher for a week." Says Kickback.
"I say! Are you ready?" Asks Starscream.
"Yes!" They all shouts.
Kickback walks Out of the way.
"Set!"
The car makes big sound.
"GO!"
They all rolls at great speed.
AC: This is how the chapter end.
I wish you are ready for the next chapter: Scientist mad mode.
Shockwave ends up helping the 4 humans for their science project and he went into his crazy mode. At the same time, the autobot stoles some object.
