Chapter 2: That Wasn't Supposed to Happen
Things started to settle back down at Autobot headquarters. "Is everyone alright?" Wheeljack asked. There were several walking wounded who headed toward the med bay for repairs. Wheeljack was among them. He helped Ratchet with some of the minor repairs and then took a seat for his turn. Ratchet mutter something under his breath about slowly ripping off the cons wings and let them live grounded. Wheel jack just laughed.
"And just what is so funny? Those fraggers just cause pain and chaos for no reason. What purpose did that serve? "Ratchet growled. "Don't know maybe they were bored too. And you didn't want to repair me because I damaged myself, right. Now you got your wish." Wheeljack couldn't stop laughing and It annoyed Ratchet to the point of finally hitting Wheeljack with his welder. "Still not funny" Ratchet said.
"It worked, Ratch! My invention actually worked. However, not in the way I was expecting. It makes a handy weapon too!" Wheel jack's faceplates were lit up with excitement. "What are you talking about?" Ratchet asked. "Didn't you see it? Did you notice that Skywarp just disappeared? Where do you think he went?"
"No, I didn't see it. I was too busy making sure no one got seriously injured not watching fragging cons. Where did he go? To the Pit maybe? That would be ideal. Now would you hold still long enough for me to make this quick repair or I'm going to damage you further."
"No but I'm sure Starscream thinks he just went to the pit. Wheeljack commented. "Ratchet, It was designed to combine Cybertronian forms of energy, specifically energon, from two sources into one making doubling resources. Well, spark energy is Cybertronian too." You mean…" Ratchet interrupted. "Yes! It essentially converted Skywarp to pure energy and placed him inside of Starscream so they are two sparks sharing a body. I'm sure they are aware of each other. It is a weapon in that we can combine 'cons and have fewer targets!" Wheeljack jumped off the berth. "I'm going to speak with Optimus and Prowl."
Starscream was still livid. He and Skywarp had been arguing for the past hour about what to do. Thundercracker struggled to keep from laughing. However, he started referring to them as Skyscream. That may have been a contributing factor to Starscream's anger. "Perhaps Starwarp would be better. You do like to be first." Skywarp joked. "Quiet. You realize the only reason I don't hurt you now is that it would hurt me too. I'm actually trying to figure out what to do. Thundercracker, you should be focusing on that. You got us into this slag." Starscream complained. "I think we should steal the device. You were a scientist before the war Starscream. Perhaps you could figure it out, or we could just contact the Autobots and ask them." Thundercracker suggested. "Yes, but it has been vorns since I've been a scientist. I sure cant do anything without it though so we need to go back and get it because I'll be in the pit before I ask the autobot for help."
They devised a plan and took off for the autobot base.
Second chapter…short and sweet. I still don't own the Transformers…unfortunate for me!
