Work is starting to suck. I can't find the time to write anymore. I have the ideas but I have to work as well. Writing them down while working is hard. I'm trying really hard to write more stories and to finish one that I shall be performing with some friends at the Edmonton Animethon. I hope this all works out. Enjoy my other stories until then. Thank you.
Samantha was tired of sitting on Dinobot. She got off long ago. He watched her walk beside him, thinking that she may taste good. Whenever she looked back at him, he turned away, trying to avert the gaze. She started to sing.
"Old Godzilla was hopping around Tokyo City like a big playground when suddenly Batman burst from the shade and hit Godzilla with a Bat grenade.
Godzilla got pissed and began to attack but didn't expect to be blocked by Shaq who proceeded to open up a can of Shaq Fu when Aaron Carter came out of the blue. And he started beating up Shaquille O'Neal then they both got flattened by the Bat mobile but before it could make it back to the Bat cave, Abraham Lincoln popped out of his grave and took an AK47 out from under his hat and blew Batman away with a rat-a-tat-tat but he ran out of bullets and he ran away because Optimus Prime came to save the day."
"What is wrong with you? You have a major error message."
"Sorry. I get a song stuck in my head and it sticks."
"Then why did you sing about Optimus Prime?"
"You know I have no clue. Want me to make a song up about you?"
The Dinobot clone stared at her. He had frozen with the look of; I'm going to kill you. He turned his head.
"I'd rather you not."
"Okay.
I'm sorry."
"It's all right. Just warn me the next time
you decide to do that."
"It's a random impulse. I can't control it."
Dinobot shook his head.
"How does he put up with you?"
"What?"
"Nothing."
Dinobot was dealing with Terrorsaur again that morning. He found himself lured into a cave.
"Where are you my old comrade? Let's have a friendly little chat."
"I have nothing to say. Except good-bye!"
Dinobot fired his eye lasers at Terrorsaur. He flew out before getting hit and blasted the entrance, trapping Dinobot. Terrorsaur began to laugh.
"Rust in peace old comrade. Terrorsaur to Megatron, It is now safe to proceed with phase two."
Rhinox saw them coming up towards the base. He couldn't deal with her. Not after what he tried to pull. He left and sat in his room. He was going to stay there until she left.
"Okay… how about this one, Ooh… Ah… I know you want, and I know what you need, but I'm going to screw it up. Cause I'm your boyfriend yes I am."
"No."
"Awe. Can't I sing at all?"
"No."
"You're no fun."
Dinobot led her up into the ship. Rhinox had turned the shields off before leaving. Rattrap was helping Optimus with some of the wiring in the main computers.
"Decided to cut your patrol short?"
"Ran into Samantha. Thought I'd bring her over."
"Ah."
Optimus just stared at her. She wasn't paying attention to him. She was busy talking to Rattrap. He was trying to explain about the procedure and tools he was using. She just looked at him.
"Samantha… why don't you go and talk to Cheetor? I have to go back out anyway. You can try that new game out with him."
"What new game?"
Optimus was now interested.
"It's not new Dinobot. It's been around for a while."
"What is it?"
"Twister. You have to be the last one standing."
Rattrap popped out from inside the computer.
"Ah. So it's like a fighting game?"
"Not really. You have to twist your body around with others around you. It's very difficult."
"Oh yeah, bet ya anything I can take ya."
"Alright. I'll go get Cheetor and we can set it up in his room."
"Deal."
Samantha walked off into the hall. Optimus watched her. Dinobot got his attention again.
"Should I go back out?"
"Yes. I believe now that Samantha is gone, the Predicons will be planning something."
"With all do respect, I don't think they would attack with her in here."
"True. We shall see what happens."
The clone waited outside for a good hour before returning. He put on his best act that he could. He came limping in.
"Optimus, the Predicons have acted. They are launching a full scale assault."
"From where?"
Optimus pulled up a map of the nearby areas. Dinobot enlarged his chosen area.
"Grid Omega."
"Rattrap, see if you can get a better lock on it."
Rattrap pulled his head up again. He enlarged the image one more time.
"It's as peaceful as in our chambers. Looks like old Chopper face is seeing things."
"No they're there I tell you!"
Dinobot was programmed with the knowledge that the original and Rattrap hated each other. Optimus pondered for a while.
"They could be using some kind of stealth device. Rattrap, go with Dinobot and find them."
"No. You must act now. If you don't they'll overrun the base."
"Sentinel can handle them. Better get moving."
"But… but…"
"That's an
order."
Rattrap was already in the elevator. He started to tap
his foot.
"Well? You coming or what?"
The clone just growled and left. Optimus continued to stare at him. Something just wasn't right.
Rattrap was walking a little ahead of Dinobot. He wasn't thinking of much at that moment, unlike Dinobot whose mind was racing.
"You sure about this Chopper face? It's as quiet as an oiled barring out here. Unless…" Rattrap moved over to the clone. He rubbed up against him. The clone looked down at him in shock.
"What are you doing rodent?"
"Trying to snuggle. That's why you brought me out here isn't it?"
"No. The Predicons are here. And Optimus sent you. I didn't ask for this."
Rattrap sighed.
"Which way are they?"
"They should be… right over that ridge."
Rattrap started thinking to himself. "The sooner we deal with them, the sooner I can play with Dinobot."
"Well, we better transform. Rattrap Maximize."
He had changed himself in front of clone. The clone put up his hands to protect himself. Rattrap looked at him then turned his head to cough.
"What are you waiting for microbrain? Settle into the metal."
The clone had to think fast. He couldn't transform.
"Optimus said this was surveillance only. We don't need to be in robot form for that vermin."
Rattrap scratched his head for a moment. Before going back into his beast form, he tugged on Dinobot's tail. He followed Dinobot over to the cliff. He caught a blast of hot air.
"Whoa. Talk about your inferno."
"Looks like we
need to use that log to get across. Why don't you lead the
way?"
Rattrap took the hint and started across. The clone kicked
at the log. Rattrap dug his claws into the wood.
"Hey what are ya doing?"
"I'd think it would be obvious. Even to a vermin like you."
He gave one final kick and watched Rattrap fall down. He didn't watch him fall all the way but far enough. He headed back to the Maximal base.
Dinobot had put on another act. He dragged himself into the base. This time looking like shit.
"Optimus… the Preds… they got Rattrap…there was nothing I could do."
"Let me get you into the CR chamber."
"No, there's not time! I'll make it. You go."
Optimus had punched some codes into the computer.
"I'm taking Cheetor with me, when you've repaired yourself meet us out there."
"Of course. Good luck… fool."
An evil grin moved across his face.
In a cave not too far away, rubble had begun to move. Dinobot had woken up. He punched his way out of the landslide. He was as pissed as ever but needed repairs. He had to go back to the base.
The clone was trying everything in it power to disarm the shield. Nothing was working. It kept asking for the correct code and energy signature. If either were incorrect, you user would get zapped. The clone had been zapped many times already. He flew across the room again. He lifted his head.
"Megatron said this would be easy."
(As no one thinks to ask Sammy. You think she'd know it.)
The real Dinobot had arrived at the base at the same time Cheetor and Optimus were pulling Rattrap out of the lava filled pit, learning the truth about Dinobot.
"Sentinel, stand down."
He continued to make his way inside. The clone was still messing with the keys, too weak to even stand.
"Code acknowledged. Removing shield."
"Yes I've done it! Clone one to Megatron…"
"Megatron here, report."
"The shield has been dropped."
"And the Maximals?"
"Off on a wild vermin chase. The ship is now yours for the taking."
"Excellent yesss. Wait for my orders. I'm heading there now."
The clone turned off his communicator and headed for the door. He nearly ran into himself. Both their jaws dropped. The clone had figured out that the original was standing in front of him. The real turned and looked behind him to see if something was wrong. There was no mirror there. He got closer to the other. The other tried to bite his nose off. Dinobot pulled away. The clone smiled back at him.
"What in the inferno are you?"
"What you might have been, had you not betrayed Megatron."
The clone jumped and went for the originals throat. They had their own little battle, destroying most of the base. Finally one was the victor.
"Megatron… will reward me for this."
Megatron had arrived at the base as Dinobot made his way out. He stopped and let Dinobot come to him.
"Megatron… where are the others?"
"Preparing an ambush for the Maximals and when they return I shall finish them with their own defense grid."
"Ooh, your brilliance is an inspiration to me."
When Megatron heard that, his tail went up, as it usually did when he was happy.
"Ah you are so
impertinent Dinobot. I may just clone the rest of my troops."
"And now Megatron… the prize is yours."
Megatron laughed. He also knew Samantha was in there waiting for him. He wasn't fully over it yet but it was getting better. HE was so deep in thought, he didn't notice the shields come back up.
"Sentinel, shields online."
Megatron got zapped, just like a bug in a bug zapper. (It really makes that sound too.) Megatron flew backwards, somehow twisting in the air and landing face first. He lifted his head, shaking off dirt that clung to his face. (It really looked like he landed in dog shit. That's the first thing I thought it was.)
"So… You ungrateful clone, you're as treacherous as the real Dinobot."
"Correction. I am the real Dinobot."
"So, you managed to beat my clone after all. A pity. He was such a loyal fellow… (He sounds gay or in ecstasy here) unlike you!"
Megatron fired at him. Dinobot shot his eye beams right back at him. Megatron was being forced back. He dug his tail into the ground. Dinobot began to over heat. There came a blast and both were thrown away.
"Games over Megatron."
Everyone was aiming their guns at him. Rattrap looked over to Dinobot, who was still lying on the ground. He wanted to run over to him but knew he couldn't.
"Well, I guess this battle shall be postponed until next we meet." (I thought he said until next week.)
Megatron fired his weapon and made his escape.
Dinobot had lead the others back into the base.
"You and that clone really trashed the place."
"Don't tell me you're really buying into this clone stuff."
"You heard Megatron admit it."
"Oh yeah. Like I'm gonna believe him. If there was a clone, where is he? Ha?"
"I'm afraid he's gone for good, a shame really. He was such a handsome creature. And quite tasty."
He flicked off a piece of meat that was stuck in his teeth. It hit Optimus right under his eye.
"You're disgusting."
Dinobot just smiled at him. He walked back over to his room. Rattrap wasn't too far behind. He cornered Dinobot in his room.
"What do you want now? I'm still tender."
"I know. But when I thought he was you… and when he pushed me over that cliff I…"
"I know. I'd never do that to you."
Rattrap pinned Dinobot down, even though he was in his beast form. Rattrap rubbed himself against him.
"Don't ever scare me like that again."
"Are you
crying?"
"No."
He was. Dinobot could tell. He lifted up his tail and stroked him. They heard moaning coming from over their heads. They both looked to see Samantha sleeping on the bed. Rattrap started laughing.
"I can't believe she's still here." He got an evil idea into his head. "Why don't we do it?"
"Are you insane? She's right there."
"My point exactly. It makes it more exciting."
"How about I take you somewhere else? I'll even let you be the boss this time."
"Oh… you'll
let me will you?"
"Would you rather fight for dominance
again?"
"No. I'll take the first deal."
"Good."
Dinobot licked up his face. Rattrap shook his head.
"What?"
"I just hate the fact dat your tongue is bigger in your beast
mode."
"Is it making you wonder about other parts?"
"Yes. I wanna know if I'm right."
"You'll find out later."
"Why not
now?"
"I thought we just had this conversation. I'll make
it up to you later. First, we have to see why Samantha came here in
the first place."
Dinobot shook Samantha awake. She opened her eyes and looked into his. Samantha yawned and turned back over. Dinobot picked her up with his teeth and laid her on the floor. She hid herself under the covers.
"Oh come on. I know you're up."
"Don't wanna be. I like it under here."
"Get up ya little…"
"Rattrap."
"What?"
Dinobot
shook his head.
"Leave her alone okay. She's depressed."
"I am not."
Dinobot licked up her face. She rubbed her cheek, trying to get all the saliva off. He rubbed against her, thinking it might make her feel better. She just turned the other way again.
"What did Megatron do this time?"
"He's being a dick."
"Isn't he always?"
"Rattrap!"
"What?"
"Quiet. Just once. Please."
Rattrap ignore them and left to go find something to eat. He wanted to have his daily alone time with Dinobot but wasn't going to get it. Dinobot shook his head and looked back at Samantha.
"Trouble in
paradise Dinobot?"
"You knew?"
"Not much gets passed
me. I just like to play the innocent one so that I can evade many
awkward situations or one that can get me into trouble."
"How does our relationship affect you?"
"If we go back to Cybertron, one of you will have to conform, be destroyed or you'll both have to live without the other. Your planet still has a deep-rooted hate. I've been trying to pull that weed for years."
"Is that why you were transferred to our planet?"
"Pretty much. There's more but I'd rather not go into detail."
"So you know what you are and where you came from. You're just choosing not to tell us."
"That's
partially right. I know right now, but when I revert back into my
innocent, needless to say, my "inferior" side, I'll remember
nothing."
"Why?"
"I don't know. Maybe I'm
blocking something for my safety or the safety of others. I just wish
I could figure out what it is I'm blocking and why."
"Maybe it's best if you don't know."
Samantha snuggled into Dinobot. He held her back. He stopped stroking her with his tail and looked down at her.
"You know… it's nice having these conversations with you."
"Cause I'm
intelligent now?"
"There's that, and there's the fact
that I can be open with you. Too bad we weren't this open with our
other halves."
"Yeah."
