AC: Here comes the chapter 11. It took a lot of time because I had no comment about my plot twist of the chapter 10. I was wondering if you didn't care at all and it almost killed the story and motivation to continue it. But I've found an inspiration for this chapter and the next one.

Difference from the prime Universe.

Decepticon:

Megatron: The difference is that his gray body has some blue and red line starting from his feet to his face.

Soundwave and laser beak: No difference.

Starscream: His chest is red paint while the rest is white.

Knock Out: His paint job is pale red.

Breakdown: His paint job is blue light.

Shockwave: He is purple and has some yellow at his arms.

Hardshell: Still the same. He is covered with scar of numerous battles. (Chief of the Insecticon)

Kickback: He looks like all normal Insecticons except a long scar at his chest. (The funny Insecticon)

Vehicons: They are the same. (I just like them that way)

Important one: Steve; the alpha (chief) of the vehicons, Joker; the funny vehicon, Maso the masochist and Silver (The only vehicon with silver paint) the miner chief.

Skyquake: He is similar except that his armor is pale green and close to emerald.

Autobot:

Optimus: His paint job color is the same but way much darker, which seems more close to black than red and blue.

Bumblebee: No difference.

Arcee: Her paint job is blue and black.

Bulkhead: He has dark green paint job with a few black lines and scars over his body.

Rodimus: He looks like in the G1 version but he has an image of dark flame on his shoulders.

Drones: They all have a black body. They have similar body forms than the vehicons but a few differences are visible. They have horns on the sides of their head with silver color. They are also larger and bigger than the vehicons. They have 4 optics. 2 at the front of their face, like any normal human, and 1 for each size of their head. They doesn't have mouthplate and aren't sentient.

Elites Drones: They are the same than the Drone but they have better weaponry and a stronger armor.

Chapter 11: Pranking day

Nemesis

Today wasn't April fool. But for them...It wasn't important at all...They don't care at all. They also don't know such a day exist on earth. They only needed to do prank. Who were those who had pranking plan in their mind? Joker and Kickback, the 2 pranksters of the Nemesis. They are ready at anything to put prank. Can they do it alone? No...Do they need help, yes. Who will accept it? Kickback refused to ask Arielle and caused her trouble. Hasher...He is with Shockwave and he will not do any pranks because of the consequence he will have if Shockwave found out. Julia...She doesn't say anything but she is not the type to made some prank...The other decepticons, they are not interested at it and they had enough time be victim of their prank. Joker asked Mullen and he accepted to help them since he likes the idea of pranks.

"So...How many prank days are you doing per years?" Asked Mullen.

"One time...When we fell for it." Said Joker. "Those fools don't know what's coming to them."

"We had a day for that...April fool day." Said Mullen.

"What?! There is a day do prank and we are not aware of this?" Said Joker surprise.

"Soundwave...I'm sure he hid the information from us." Said Kickback.

"Alright...It is time for the pranks...We will start with Soundwave who hide the fact that April fool day existed." Said Joker. He clenched his servo evilly and started his evil laugh.

"Well...I know vehicons enough so I am not surprise." Said Mullen.

"Let's begin." Said Kickback.

Soundwave quarter

Soundwave was playing chess with Julia and Soundwave was winning again. It was virtual chess of course when Soundwave suddenly felt his energon turning cold. Julia noticed it and she looked at him.

"I had a bad feeling about it." He said with a voice.

Julia and Soundwave continued their game when the optics of Kickback and joker appeared.

"Target found." Whispered very quietly Joker.

"Operation: Kiss...Starting now." Said Kickback. "Alright Mullen...You know what to do."

Mullen took the little gadget Joker had prepared and he walked in the room silently. Soundwave and Julia didn't notice him since he didn't have to enter deep in the room...And it was Soundwave turn and he looked at his next moved. Mullen putted the little thing on it and he walked away silently. Joker opened his servo and Mullen took the switch on the remote.

"Press it on 3...2...1...go." Said Kickback.

Mullen pressed a switch. A song of Kiss started to go and very loudly. Volume is at maximum and Soundwave jumped surprise. He putted his servo on his audio receptor and he searched around for the source of the sound. Julia also had her hands over her ears and the 3 pranksters watched them a few second before leaving them at their misery before they are busted.

"That was cool...Soundwave become nuts." Said Mullen.

"Yeah...That was good...Now...It's time for the second target...That one is for me to do it." Said Kickback. "Operation...Scratching glue...Target...Hardshell. Do you other prank against Starscream and accomplish Operation...Awkward pairing."

"Let's go Mullen...We had to prank Starscream." Said Joker.

Joker took Mullen on his servo and putted him on his shoulder plates and he walked to Megatron quarter.

Operation: Kiss...Success.

Insecticon room:

Kickback was moving silently on the room of the room and he made sure he wasn't spotted. No Insecticon saw him and Kickback sing a song in his processor.

(Impossible mission theme.)

Dah...Dah...Dadada...Dah...Dah...Dadada...Dah...Dah...Dadada...Touloulou...Touloulou...Touloulou. He sing in his mind.

He walked at the roof when a Insecticon saw him.

"Kickback...What are you doing?" Asked the Insecticon.

"Oh...I am...practicing for the pranking day." Said Kickback.

"Alright...Good luck with that." Said the Insecticon walking away.

Kickback continued until he reached Hardshell who was with Arielle and distracting her.

Oh oh...I had a little problem. Thought Kickback. I...I can't back down...Alright...I'll have to take more risk so nothing falls on her...I have to aim his arf.

Kickback moved just over Hardshell and Kickback watched him playing with Arielle. She was on his servo and she showed him her drawing talent. Hardshell watched her when she made the face of Hardshell. The Insecticon in question knew it wouldn't have been perfect but he liked the fact that she suggests it.

Kickback slowly took out a liquid that is like glue and he moved closed. He putted very discreetly on the arf of Hardshell who managed to not notice it. Kickback the moved away on the roof before the glue will start to take effect on the metal of Hardshell.

Operation: Scratching blue...Success.

Outside Megatron quarter

Joker and Mullen were outside of the prime quarter and they said nothing for a while.

"Alright...Leave the talking to me...Operation awkward paring begin." Said Joker.

"Alright...Awkward paring?" Asked Mullen.

"You will see." Said Joker "Megatron Prime...Are you there?"

The door to the quarter opened.

"What is it vehicon?" Asked Megatron.

"Starscream asked me to send you this message. He wants to see you to his quarter to a...Special meeting. You are making him overheat again and he wants to see you." Said joker.

"Again...That bastard never learns...I warned him that this should never happen again...I'm going to see him right now and tell him that I am not interested in spark merging!" Shouted Megatron.

He walked away at the direction of Starscream room.

"By awkward pairing...You mean love?" Asked Mullen. "How come you didn't need to say a lot?"

"Yes...But it isn't true. That joke had been use a lot of time and Megatron doesn't need much of an explanation anymore...So a sentence and it is almost enough now." Said Joker. "Alright...Time to prepare for operation...Paint damage...With a question mark."

"Paint damage?...Oh...Knock Out." Said Mullen.

"Yeah." Said Joker.

They walked at the direction of the medic room. They weren't aware but Shockwave and Hasher spotted them when they were passing by.

"...*Sigh* Pranking day already...This accurse day had come." Said Shockwave.

"Pranking day? By seeing Megatron...I thought it would never happen." Said Hasher.

"In theory...But in practice...Joker is doing it...I...I can guess Kickback is in the part of the plan." Said Shockwave.

"Well...Do you know the expression: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?" Asked Hasher.

"No." Said Shockwave.

"Let's give them a taste of their own medicine." Said Hasher.

"The logical action would be to warn Megatron." Said Shockwave.

"Let's do that...And suggest we can put this plan into action...With his permission." Said Hasher with a smile.

"Alright...Let's-" Shockwave was cut by a shouting.

"ARGH! MY ARF! MY ARF!" Screamed Hardshell moving with his back scratching the floor with maximum strength and moving at their direction. "OUT OF MY SLAGING WAY!" Screamed Hardshell.

Shockwave moved away and they saw him passing with a few Insecticons.

"I knew you had the rash...It wasn't Kickback silly rumor! You can't hide it anymore!" Said an Insecticon.

Hardshell replied but he was too far away for Hasher to hear it. Shockwave wasn't that lucky.

"Such language...Anyway...Let's act fast...If they get Knock Out...It will start to be ugly." Said Shockwave.

Shockwave ran at the direction of Starscream quarter and tried to limit the effect of the prank.

Medic room

The door opened and the head of Kickback pop up and he looked around. He saw no one in the room and he entered by the roof thanks to his claw and he waited there. Joker and Mullen entered in the room and they looked around.

"I thought Kickback will already be there." Said Mullen.

"I'm here...On the roof...You brought the paint?" Asked Kickback.

"Yes." Said Joker.

"Alright...We will make Knock Out believe he had paint damage." Said Kickback.

"What can I do?" Asked Mullen.

"You will draw the line. You are small enough to made more realistic paint damage." Said Joker.

"Where is he?" Asked Mullen.

"Well...We had to wait for him to come. When we finish with him...We will search for anyone else." Said Kickback. "It will depend on the situation and who's there."

"We only need for him to wait." Said Joker. He took something in his servo.

"What's that?" Asked Mullen.

"It's a device that knocks out anyone who entered in contact with it." Said Joker. "Since we want to put some paint...We had to knock him out."

"Would that be painful?" Asked Mullen.

"Yes...That's...collateral damage of the prank..." Said Joker.

Starscream quarter

Starscream was minding his own business. Since there was nothing the autobot where doing, he decided to work on his usual project...One of his things that made him remember the scientist he was on Cybertron. He heard heavy footsteps coming at his direction and he immediately knew Megatron was coming.

"Dammit...No time to hide." Grunted Starscream. He knew already what this was about. He locked his so he could buy some time and Megatron could calm down.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"STARSCREAM! WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS COMVERSATION NOW!" Screamed Megatron.

"...Starscream isn't here...Leave a message." Said Starscream.

He panicked and he said the first thing in his mind. He mentally shouted to himself who stupid that was.

10 seconds of silence was present.

"...You...You seriously THINK THAT WOULD WORK?" Screamed Megatron.

"...I kinda hope this miracle would happen Prime." Said Starscream nervously. His wings where at the lower they could be.

"OPEN THE DOOR! OR I'LL BURST THROUGHT IT!" Screamed Megatron.

"Is it about the rumors that I'm trying to hit on you? Because it's all false!" Shouted Starscream.

"YOU ARE JUST SAYING IT NOW LIKE ALL THE OTHER TIMES BEFORE! IT'S TIME I GIVE YOU A LESSON SO YOU WOULD NEVER DO IT AGAIN!" Screamed Megatron. "AFTER 10 STELLAR CYCLES YOU TRY THIS...I HAVE FRAGGING ENOUGH ABOUT THIS!"

A loud sound came and a mark of Megatron shoulder appeared on the door. He was really going to open it by brute force.

"*Gasp*" Starscream knew a beating will occur. He panicked and he had a pitiful voice. "I'm telling the true Prime! I'm just a victim!"

"MY ARF YOU ARE- WHAT SHOCKWAVE?!" Screamed Megatron.

"Prime! He is telling you the true." Said the voice of Shockwave behind the door.

"What?!" Shouted Megatron. "The vehicon told me he do it again."

"It's Joker who talk to you." Said Shockwave.

Starscream hoped that will convince Megatron.

"The target of the prank was Starscream. You were just being used." Said Hasher.

"*Sigh* Pranking day...Then...During those 10 stellar cycles...Those 2 idiots outsmart...me...ARGH!" Screamed Megatron in fury when he realised he had been a tool prank.

"I believe is it the base..." Said Shockwave.

Starscream closed his servo.

"All this...Was because of them? They made this all up and I end up in terror every time for a prank!" Shouted Starscream opening the door of his quarter. "I almost end up being beaten for something I didn't do...I'll make them pay." He showed his claw and moves them.

"Unless I got him first." Said Megatron.

"Wait! This isn't over...I had a plan to teach them a lesson." Said Hasher.

"What is it?" Asked Megatron.

"First...Reunite everyone, except the pranksters, in a room and we will prepare a revenge of their caliber." Said Hasher.

"...Alright...Everyone will had their revenge then." Said Megatron. "I'll search for Soundwave."

Meeting room

Most of the deception and the kids were present in the meeting room. Hardshell was still scratching his arf because of the glue but it was less bad than sooner. Knock Out was infuriated when he saw his body scratching but he realised that it was paint and became even more infuriated because his paint job is ruined and he'll need time to correctly paint himself with the right quantity. Breakdown saw him sleeping on the berth until Knock Out said he had pain on his chestplate, where the paint was.

Operation: Paint damage...Success.

Soundwave was feeling better but he had a few random move because he is just starting to get over the glitch he had when the music drive him crazy. It wasn't Kiss music, but music the pranksters didn't notice; bad baby music and that finished him and glitch him off. Julia found the source of the sound too late. Starscream and Megatron wanted their revenge on the lies about a romantic relationship. A few others had been victim of the pranks and they are currently pink. On vehicon, Maso is sitting on the ground and said that he cannot felt the pain anymore and he cannot fell pleasure now.

"Alright! Decepticon...We are in the middle of a major crisis! Worse than anything the autobot have done! Joker and Kickback started their pranking day! I had enough of it!" Said Megatron. "Our human friend suggest that we retaliate with a prank of our own. I want to know if there is any objection."

Every decepticon agreed to retaliate.

"Good. Now...What is the suggestion you had Hasher?" Asked Megatron.

"Well...My suggestion is to use someone who hasn't been pranked. The other's will hide and the pranksters will have no choice but to target him. We will choose the location of course. Then...When they tried and pranked the noble one who will offer himself as bait...We will prank them with that they dislike the most." Said Hasher.

Steve raised his hand. Megatron nodded.

"I know Joker weakness...He absolutely hated being painted greenish...Like...human vomit. It made him want to purge and if he has that painting...He will be sick for a while...Until Knock Out...Accept to repaint him...If he agreed one day." Said Steve.

"He will have to wait for a while...This paint...I'll have my revenge." Said Knock Out.

Breakdown putted his servo on Knock Out shoulder.

"Calm down...I will help you arrange it." Said Breakdown.

"...Alright." Said Knock Out.

"So...What is Kickback weakness?" Asked Megatron.

"He had a weird fear...He feared to be trap in a wall. He is afraid to be suddenly in a wall." Said an Insecticon. "He screamed in fear in the show South Park when a hippy came out of a wall without knowing how. I think he is also afraid of being caved in and also the fact that Arielle can be hurt."

"The last one is out of option since no one wants to do that...Alright...We have our preparation...We only need to find the one who will be the target." Said Hasher.

"I think I know who will accept this task." Said Megatron.

He looked at Skyquake who saw them.

"Euh...Alright...As you wish prime." Said Skyquake.

"Julia...Mullen is with them...What is he afraid off?" Asked Hasher.

Julia looked at them and she took her cellphone and text to them.

"I wanted to hear her." Said Silver.

Hasher opened his cellphone.

"...Is that really what he is afraid off? Well...we can't do anything since his mother isn't here." Said Hasher. "Except that...Nothing else."

"Well...Let's forget about him." Said Knock Out who didn't know Mullen was the one who painted him.

"Everyone ready?" Asked Hasher.

"Alright...Operation: Retaliation begins." Said Megatron.

Everyone went into action. The pranksters didn't know what was coming for them.

Near the energon depot of the Nemesis

The 3 pranksters walked around and they searched for targets, but they had found no one around and it's started to get boring.

"Dammit...We had no more targets and we only had one more hour before the pranking day is officially over." Whined Joker. "We need to find someone."

"Yeah...I think they are aware now and they are hiding." Said Kickback.

"Coward." Said Joker.

"Hey...Skyquake is there." Said Mullen.

The 2 looked and they saw him making the inventory of the depot.

"Jackpot." Said Kickback. He grinned the best he can with his Insecticon face. He rubbed his mandible at the thought of the prank.

"Alright...Pink paint ready?" Asked Mullen.

"Yes...Stay here." Said Joker putting him down. They moved at the direction of the target.

A tentacle appeared behind Mullen and he took him away without a sound from Mullen.

Kickback and Joker moved closer. Kickback had the pink paint and he moved on the roof over Skyquake and placed the trap. Skyquake saw what's going on but he didn't react...The plan shouldn't be foiled now. He needed to wait for Joker is close enough. He walked closer to him.

"Skyquake...You end up doing the inventory." Said Joker.

"Yes...It's a boring job but Prime asked me to finish it." Said Skyquake.

"I see...So...Do we have enough or we are wrong in the estimation?" Asked Joker.

"I think we are fine...Anyway, I need to check over there." Said Skyquake.

Kickback looked at Joker and gave him the sigh that he cannot go there...Skyquake must stay under the trap.

"Wait! I can go there for you...I have nothing to do." Said Joker.

"Alright...Take the pad and count how many we have." Said Skyquake.

"Okay." Said Joker.

He took the pad and he walked at the direction of the energon and he looked at it while Kickback finished installing the prank. He almost finish when a loud sound is made.

Joker started counting when he saw one of the energon boxes a little different. He moved closer by curiosity when it opened and a bang is made. He had been splashed by paint. He now looked like a giant human vomit at him.

"ARGH! NOT THAT...color...Urp..." Joker was on his knee and felt sick. "No...Fast dry paint!"

Kickback saw that Joker had been trap and he knew he was compromise when he saw Skyquake away and looking at him.

"RETREAT!" Screamed Kickback.

It was too late for Joker and Kickback decided to leave him behind. He almost reaches the exit when a lot of decepticon appeared and looked at him. He saw Soundwave looked at him and still twitch because of the glitch.

"You're doom." He said with a reaper voice.

Megatron and Starscream walked closer and Kickback moved backward.

"You think you're funny?" Asked Megatron.

"Because we'll show you what our humour is." Said Starscream.

"Hey...It's inoffensive pranks." Said Kickback nervously.

Hardshell appeared behind him. Kickback bumped into him and he moved away fast.

"You think it's funny that I've done an arf race in all the ship?" Asked Hardshell.

"Primus...Yes!" Shouted Kickback. He putted his servo over his mouth plate when he realised he just worsen his case. Hardshell glared at him.

"You also made me believe I scratch my paint. With ugly paint that ruined my finish!" Said Knock Out. "I think you need a taste of your own medicine...Do you agree?" Asked Knock Out.

"YES!" Everyone shout.

"...Stay away!...Don't move any closer! Please...SPARE ME!" Screamed Kickback.

5 minutes later

Only a few decepticon remained in the room when they had done their prank to the 2 victims. Breakdown, Knock Out, Skyquake and Hardshell are the only remained with Kickback and Joker. Everyone kids returned to their home.

"Well...Kickback fights hard." Said Breakdown.

"He really didn't want to be victim of the prank." Said Knock Out.

"Do you think he will learn his lesson?" Asked Breakdown.

"Let me out of the wall!" Shouted Kickback.

"Him?" Asked Hardshell scratching his arf. "Never."

"Thought so." Said Breakdown.

"The good news is that he didn't have the time to prank me." Said Skyquake.

"Seriously! Let me out of the wall!" Shouted Kickback.

"So...When are we going to let him out of the «wall»?" Asked Knock Out.

"Please...Take the horrible paint away from me?" Shouted Joker at the feet of Knock Out.

"In 2 hours." Said Hardshell.

"Agreed." Said the other decepticons.

"The paint...Take it away!" Shouted Joker.

"Let me think...Not now." Said Knock Out with a smirk.

Joker raised his fist in the sky.

"WWHHYY?!" Screamed Joker. "WHY PRIMUS?!"

Operation retaliation...Success.

"WHY DID NOTHING HAPPEN TO MULLEN?! IT'S NOT FAIR!" Screamed Joker.
