A/N: I was kind of sad when I noticed that no one reviewed my most recent chapter of my Guidelines series. *gets shot for being self-minded* Getting off that topic, I noticed that on Chapter six where I wrote on a MSN chapter with Vampire-Optimus, my word count for chapter six reached 668. That kind of scares me considering that 666 is the mark of the Devil and that chapter happened to be Chapter six written on August 6th.
I'm scared now….

"Come on, come on, come on, comeoncomeoncomeon NONONONONONO!" Jazz yelled as the character on screen died due to the Zombie infection once again. "I'll never get past the damn police station!" From his usual spot on the windowsill, Barricade poked his head out to see the end of Jazz's weeping for his new loss, even though he has been losing at the same game for at least an hour.
"Why don't you use Yoko instead of Kevin, she can carry more items. Or even use Cindy who can hold twice as many healing items than the rest of the group." Barricade said. Jazz selected an on screen character to get ready for another round.
"Because Kevin has the most rounded stats and starts off with a better handgun." Jazz stated. Barricade looked around the room, which was surprisingly clean for a change. He leaned back on the window and fell back to sleep. After a while, Jazz stood up from his spot on the floor and began the climb to the windowsill, Climbing up the drawers, the bed, and had a little help from the car trio, Muscle, Flame, and Wheelie. After a few minutes and some curses, Jazz climbed to the windowsill next to a sleeping Barricade. He crept closer, making sure not to make any loud noises that would wake the sleeping toy. As he crept closer to put his little plan in place, someone from across the hall shattered his plans.
"AWW FRAG IT ALL! WHERE'S MY LEG!"
Jazz jumped from the sound and fell on top of a now pissed off Barricade, who pushed him off the windowsill. Jazz yelled before landing on the bed, in which if he was human he would have blushed for his rather high pitched yell from a foot down. Prowl poked his head out from the secluded spot in his toybox and looked out the door to the room across the hall. Though the room across the hall had no lights on and was almost shrouded in darkness. Prowl saw a figure hopping around on one leg.
"Hasbro, why would you make a toy with detachable body parts?"
Prowl hopped out of the toybox and Jazz slid off the bed. The duo waited for Barricade to hop down but for some reason, the toy didn't join them. Jazz looked up to the windowsill, waiting to see Barricade. "Hey 'Cade, you coming?"
"Uhhh…" Barricade said, not poking his head out. "I think I will sit this one out for good reasons."
"You sure?" Jazz asked. "Or are you afraid of the big bad voice."
"Jazz, I will rip you in two just like what Megatron did in the first movie." Barricade said, with a hint of annoyance.
"Touché, very touché." Jazz said and started walking down the hall. Prowl followed behind. The walk down to the other room took around two minutes (less than thirty seconds in our walks) and they stopped in front of the dark room. From what little light they had they could make out a crib but that was the only thing they could see. Jazz took a step closer before a WFC Optimus Prime toy hopped out on one leg.
"Anyone seen my leg?" He asked. Prowl just shrugged and Jazz nodded.
"Sparking got you again?" Jazz asked. Optimus just sighed and hopped to the side of the crib.
"He has the nose of a predicon sometimes. I choose a great hiding spot and he somehow finds me." Optimus vented. "Next thing I know, I am souring down the stairs and my leg comes off. "
"Well it beats being left inside my owners backpack." Jazz stated. His optics scanned the room and he noticed a blue foot pad resting on top of the dresser. "Found your leg. Prowl, give me a boost." Jazz asked. He walked over to the dresser but didn't hear a word from Prowl. "Prowl?" He looked at the doorway to only see a sign sitting right outside.
The sigh read: Going back to the toy box, be back whenever.
Jazz sighed and started climbing up the dresser. "This might just be a long day."

"Come on Barricade, why are you hiding?" Jazz asked back in the main room.
"Because I don't want to see him." Barricade replied, not showing himself from his spot near the window.
"Why?" Jazz asked.
"Because I want to avoid a fight."
"Why?"
"Because I know that things are going to go to hell and fast."
"Why?"
"Because I know that Prime will kick my aft if we were to fight."
"Why?"
"Jazz," Barricade said annoyed. "If you ask why one more time, just ONE MORE TIME, I will tear your bloody head off."
"Okay how about this?" Jazz said. This made Barricade poke his head out of his spot. Jazz started to…sing?
"And notice this you send
One of them while you cower far from harm
They will just disappoint you."
At this, Optimus hopped onto the windowsill, making Barricade jump. And Jazz continued.
"Now it's done
We're divided
Call him home
This one's misguided."
Barricade hopped down from the windowsill, only to run face to face with Jazz. Optimus hopped down and took this time to speak. "I see his hands, covered in my children's blood and His eyes do not waver."
"Call me wrong
The future needs us
Your answer's deaf
You will mislead us."
Jazz took a few steps towards Barricade, who stepped back only to run into Optimus. "And how quick you had him dispatch his brothers," Optimus grabbed him and threw Barricade at the wall. "You call this Murderer a Savior."
"Can you
Not feel
That we could have a lifeforce of steel
I only ask that you see what I see
This is the answer I want you to see."
Barricade stood up only to have Optimus grab him by the helm and throw him to the side, right into the side of the toybox.
At this moment, Prowl popped out of the toybox just to snap his fingers to get the reader's attention. "I know how you wanted to see Optimus maul Barricade but I gotta point this out to you, throughout this entire chapter, I stayed mute. I wonder how many of you noticed this and how I am breaking the fourth wall by telling you this. T.F.W. would like to congratulate those who noticed before this point by setting a Chibi Starscream at your doorstep. Enjoy the insanity." A pause. "Oh you wanted to know what happened to Barricade since I took your attention off of them for this announcement? Well last I checked, Optimus hogtied him and dragged him to T.F.W.'s sister's room where a very angry Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora waits to get his revenge. Barricade asked me to save him, but I think he deserves this one." Prowl than waved at you beloved readers. "Goodbye now."
