Chapter 4
THE NEXT DAY…
Silverbolt: Huh? Where am I? *he sees a little coyote staring over him*
Coyote Kid: So you're finally awake Luke.
Silverbolt: Who's Luke?
Coyote Kid: You are silly.
Silverbolt: I'm not Luke. My name is Silverbolt.
Coyote Kid: Nice name. My name is Adam.
Silverbolt: Adam, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Adam: So where's your family?
Silverbolt: What do you mean?
Adam: Duh. You're in an orphanage.
Silverbolt: I never had parents at all. I have a team. I'm a Maximal air and ground warrior.
Adam: Perhaps you hit your head to hard Luke.
Silverbolt: Don't call me that!
Adam: Hey Levi! The new guy is crazier and dumber than we thought.
Levi (another coyote): Good. Now we could tease someone else.
Adam: I know. And he claims to be a Maximal air and ground warrior.
Levi: Crazy dude!
Silverbolt: I am not crazy. It's the truth. I battle against the evil Predacons and their leader Megatron. I've even spied on their new friends the Decepticons.
Levi: Okay, you're cool and all but you are rather stupid. Don't let Danny catch you saying those kind of crazy things. You might get beaten up big time.
Silverbolt: It won't be me who will be hurt! *growls*
Adam: Ooh! This guy thinks he's so tough and that he can take on Danny! You are really dumb Lukey!
Silverbolt: Don't make me hurt you to stop you from bugging me!
Levi: Whatever. Hey Adam, let's go bug the other new guy Kevin!
Adam: He's not awake yet.
Levi: I know. It's like cheetahs can sleep forever.
Silverbolt: Wait, what kind of animal did you say he was?
Levi: A cheetah. What are you deaf?
Adam: He arrived twenty minutes before you were sent here.
Levi: Maybe your parents got so annoyed of his stupid stories, they sent him here.
Silverbolt: I told you, I never had a family.
Adam: He's too afraid to admit it.
Silverbolt: That does it! *he smacked Adam with his uninjured wing with full force*
Levi: ADAM!!! *the other coyote fell to the ground, unconscious* You'll pay for striking my brother!
Silverbolt: I warned you but you didn't heed to my warning.
Levi: I'll kill you, Luke!
Silverbolt: Don't try it kid.
A Voice: What's going on here?
Levi: Hey Danny!*speaks to a German Shepherd* Luke finally got up and hit Adam for no reason!
Silverbolt: He got on my nerves.
Danny: *kicked Silverbolt hard in the chest* You like that? You like that? That's for striking one of my friends so harshly.
Silverbolt: That didn't even hurt kid.
Danny: I'll show you pain! *he grabs a chair and threw it at Silverbolt*
Silverbolt: Argh! Don't make me beat the living daylights out of you, kid! You remind me of one of those Predacons but the only difference is you don't have any weapons at all.
Danny: Bring it tough guy!
All the other kids: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! (started chanting)
Silverbolt: *he charged at Danny and slammed into him*
A Girl: He's so attractive!
Another Girl: Yeah! Hit him in the nose!
A Boy: Sack him! Sack him!
Another Boy: Come on boys, let's help Danny out! *they charged into the fight and started punching Silverbolt and thrust him to the ground*
Silverbolt: *talking to himself* Computer. Damage report. Do I still have enough power to maximize?
Computer: Power level at 43% and dropping. Wings still heavily damaged. No chance to maximize until power level above 74%.
Silverbolt: That's reassuring news!
A Boy: We got him! *he punched Silverbolt in the stomach hard and in the nose*
Danny: Good. I want to make his pain all the worse. Stand back.
Silverbolt: Stop it! I give up! You win!
Danny: NO! I want to finish this fight in a man's way! *he kicked Silverbolt in the groin*
Silverbolt: Argh! *tears rolled down his face*
All Bystanders: OOH!!! That's gotta hurt!
Computer: Warning power level at 23%. Stasis lock must commence immediately.
Silverbolt: Override! *he got up, mustered all the strength he could and smacked Danny with all his might who fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes*
Computer: Warning power level at 15%. Stasis lock must commence.
Silverbolt: *groans* Acknowledged. Commence stasis lock procedure.
Computer: Acknowledged. Stasis locks commencing.
Bystanders: *watched as Silverbolt's eyes closed and he fell to the ground*
Danny: *he got up* Well, that'll teach him and show him whose boss here!
A Girl: What's stasis lock?
Danny: I don't know but whatever it was, it knocked him out.
The Girl: Was he talking to himself?
Danny: I don't know and I don't care.
The Girl: *kicks Danny in the groin* But I do!
Danny: *hits the high note and falls to the ground crying and writhing in pain*
Brock: What's going on here?
Danny: *gets up* I don't know but Luke hit Adam for no reason and then he sacked me just for wanting to help my friend. Then he tripped and fell and hit his head.
The Girl (a husky): Why you little deceiving sonofa bitch!
Brock: What actually happened?
Husky: *she explained the whole mess, how Adam and Levi started being an annoyance to how Silverbolt said something about stasis lock and how she sacked Danny for being an annoying little pest*
Another Girl: I second that Mr. Marshal!
A boy: Same here!
Brock: Everyone into the living room now!
Crystal: What happened? *she watched all the kids run past her*
Brock: A fight broke out and Luke was badly injured.
Husky: His name is Silverbolt.
Brock: Thank-you Merichale (Mare-i-shall).
Husky: You're welcome.
Crystal: Should we call an ambulance?
Brock: We should.
A Voice: Miss Crystal, what's going on? *a groggily cheetah walked out of a room*
Crystal: Its okay little one. There was a fight and someone got hurt badly. *she picked up the cheetah*
Cheetah: Silverbolt!
Brock: You know him?
Cheetah: Long story sir.
*an ambulance came and they took Silverbolt to the hospital*
Cheetah: We go way back to…uh…about five years ago.
Crystal: Oh so you do know someone here don't you Kevin?
Cheetah: The name Kevin is nice but I'd prefer to be called by my real name ma'am.
Brock: And what name is that?
Cheetah: My name is Cheetor and Silverbolt is as close to me like a brother but he's just a friend.
Crystal: So what happened to your family?
Cheetor: Ah…um…uh actually I don't know remember what happened to them.
Crystal: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Cheetor: Its okay but…*the sound of a helicopter echoed overhead*
Brock: But?
Cheetor: Decepticon!
Crystal: What?
Cheetor: Decepticon! I heard my…uh…family talk about them coming and how they destroyed our…uh…home.
Brock: Are they a gang or something?
Cheetor: In a way but really powerful. And I heard that sound before…*he started to panic*
Crystal: Are you okay Cheetor?
Cheetor: Just hide me please! That's one of them outside!
Brock: Over our heads?
Cheetor: YES!!!
Brock: Where can we hide him?
Crystal: I got an idea.
MEANWHILE OUTSIDE…
Blackout: This is the house. I'm sure it is.
Scorponok: Transform already, I want to eat fat people!
Blackout: Why?
Scorponok: They're juicier than normal people and more filling.
Blackout: Suit yourself. *he transformed and ejected Scorponok of his back*
Scorponok: You can find me in Chicago.
Blackout: Why are you going there?
Scorponok: It is the fattest city in the US, that's why! *he dug underground*
Blackout: *banged the door hard*
MEANWHILE INSIDE THE ORPHANAGE…
Crystal: There we go. Now no one would be able to find you, Cheetor.
Cheetor: Just get going and if he asks about me and Silverbolt, say nothing about us, okay?
Crystal: Alright, just stay right in here. *she placed him into a cradle*
Cheetor: I don't think I want to leave until the Decepticon is gone.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Crystal: I got it. Brock, go and discipline the other children.
Brock: Sure thing.
Crystal: *she walked over to the front door and opened it* Yes?
Blackout: Look up here low-life!
Crystal: *gazed up* Oh my goodness! What are you?
Blackout: That's none of your business, Creature! I'm looking for a cheetah and a winged wolf that look like this. *he showed her two pictures* Have you seen them?
Crystal: *stared at the pictures in silence*
Blackout: ANSWER ME, YOU WORTHLESS FOOL!!! *he struck her hard and she collapsed*
Crystal: I…I…I have not seen them. I don't know who you are talking about!
Blackout: Don't give that bull-shit! They were sent exactly to these coordinates yesterday. NOW WHERE ARE THEY???
Brock: Is there something wrong, my dear?
Blackout: Stay out of this worthless creature! *he glanced down at Crystal who was trembling with fear* Where are they, bitch?
Crystal: I don't know. You may search the whole orphanage if you like but they are not here. Perhaps they've already been adopted.
Blackout: Let me see that sign in book!
Crystal: *quickly rushed into the orphanage and came back with the book*
Blackout: *grabbed it out of her paws and scanned it* Whose Kevin and whose Luke?
Crystal: They might be the ones you are looking for, but they have been already adopted by a German couple who went back to Germany.
Blackout: F***!!!
Crystal: Language please. There are kids here who will start saying those words.
Blackout: SILENCE VERMIN!!! I want to check this whole orphanage from top to bottom. *he grabbed the roof and lifted it up* If I find them, you'll wish you've never been born! *he searched the orphanage from the roof* Hmm. Since I need to be smaller, I'm going to call for a friend. Ah war doo new itoo atgwer atcha noowe! (Translation: Barricade, this is Blackout. Bring Frenzy to the orphanage in Springfield)
A Reply Code: Ah war goi… (Translation: Barricade en-route…)
*A police car came roaring down the street at full speed and came up to the orphanage, stopped for one second, tossed a radio out the window and drove away at full speed*
Crystal: To punish and enslave? *whispered*
Blackout: Frenzy, go into the orphanage and search the whole place for the cheetah and the winged wolf.
Frenzy (the radio): *he transformed*
Crystal: AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!
Frenzy rushed inside and searched every and all the children shrieked. "Gotta search everywhere. Mustn't fail Blackout!" He searched all downstairs and went upstairs, tearing down doors, throwing objects out of his way, and breaking anything in his path. He finally reached a room entitled "Nursery" and bashed down the door. He bright glowing blue eyes pierced the darkness and he searched the room. He approached one cradle and flipped the covers. Nothing. He did the same with the next twelve. Again nothing. Getting frustrated, he peered in and pulled the covers. Just a small wolf puppy fast asleep. He left the nursery and continued searching the orphanage. Finally he returned to Blackout.
Frenzy: They're not there sir.
Blackout: So they have been adopted by who?
Crystal: Mr and Mrs Glutton.
Blackout: Glutton? Hmm. Come along Frenzy, I'll drop you off at base. Barricade can find you there.
Frenzy: Okay. *Blackout transformed and picked up the smaller robot*
Blackout: If I find out that you've lied to me, I'll destroy this whole orphanage!
