Chapter 12

AT THE RIVERSIDE MEDICAL CENTER…

Maven: How's Bradley?

Doctor: He's just fine. We've successfully removed the bullet from his arm. The poor little guy. I can't believe someone would be that cruel to shoot a little kid. *he rubbed his German shepherd head* This world is pretty scary these days.

Maven: Yes, though I'm pretty sure that the one who shot Bradley was intending on shooting the driver.

Doctor: He shouldn't even pulled out the gun.

Maven: I really don't think he cares.

Doctor: Has he been caught?

Maven: No. You see Doctor, he was shot by a police officer.

Doctor: A police officer?!? Are you sure?

Maven: Yes. He was in full uniform and everything and was driving his police car.

Doctor: Wow. What a lunatic! Why would he even shoot at your car in the first place?

Maven: He wants to capture my son. So does all of his friends. Military personnel, civilians, and construction workers.

Doctor: Why?

Maven: Here's the scary part. All of the guys who are trying to capture Bradley are Decepticons.

Doctor: Decepticons?!?

Maven: They're everywhere. The police car, aka Barricade, was following us from the start. Then afterwards, some of his Decepticon buddies came and tried to stop us. Even when we left Springfield, we were attacked by Starscream and his Seeker team. I don't know where they are now though, but they mustn't be too far.

Doctor: That still doesn't tell me why they are trying to capture Bradley.

Maven: I don't know either. *she lied* They are just really riled about something.

Doctor: Then they are not far… *the building started to shake violently*…I mean, they're here!

Maven: *she glanced out the window and saw Brawl opening fire on the hospital door and Blackout disintegrated a whole group of police cars*

Doctor: Hurry! Take your son and get out of here!

Maven: I think I should! *she ran into the operating room and removed everything off of Bradley and picked him up*

Bradley: *he was slowly awakening* Mommy…what wong?

Maven: We gotta get out of here…*two disks flew past her and crashed into one of the operating machines*

Bradley: *he shrieked loud*

Frenzy: *he charged into the room and fired with his machine guns*

Maven: Stay back!!! *out of her mouth came a stream of hot fire and burned the evil robot*

Frenzy: HOT!!!!! *he ran off screaming with pain and swearing*

Maven: That'll serve you right!

*the wall was torn down as Soundwave stepped through*

Soundwave: Halt! *she ran under his legs and he stunned her with his taser*

Maven: Argh! *she fell to the ground in pain and moved Bradley out of her way* Bradley, you must leave! Get out of here! Out that open window!

Bradley: I can't leave you!

Maven: Go now, before they get you!

Bradley: I can't! *Maven grabbed his backpack and threw it off*

Maven: Go, my son. Before it's too late! *Soundwave walked towards her*

Bradley: Okay. *a tear ran down his face as he spread his wings and took to the skies above all the Decepticons*

Soundwave: Laserbeak! Buzzsaw! Squawktalk! Eject! Operation Retriever! *three bird-like robots flew out of his chest and flew off after Bradley who started flapping away from the pursuing Decepticons*

Blackout: *he glanced up and saw Bradley and transformed into his helicopter mode*

Bradley: Me gotta get outta here! Must get away fwom big bad wobots!

Blackout: Hey kid! Come here! I'm here to rescue you!

Bradley: He's twying to twick me. Me not gonna fall for it! *he flew past the ever-so-pissed Blackout*

Blackout: You little bitch! Get back here! *he flew after Bradley in hot pursuit* You cannot try to trick us Silverbolt! We know who you are!

Bradley: Who Silvwabolt?

Blackout: You are, you insolent fool!

Bradley: Me don't know what you talking about!

Blackout: Don't play stupid with me! Remember being with your Maximal friends and how we Decepticons attacked your base and sent you into the future?

Bradley: Huh?

Blackout: Now we are going to take you to our leader, Megatron, and convert you to Decepticon.

Bradley: You weird.

Blackout: I'm offering the fact that we can fix your mind out of its corrupted state.

Bradley: You vewy weird.

Blackout: You can be restored back to Silverbolt and become one of us.

Bradley: Me don't wanna be like you. Me wanna be me.

Blackout: You're not helping by acting like a baby. Just repeat two simple words.

Bradley: What words?

Blackout: Say "Silverbolt MAXIMIZE!"

Bradley: What if me don't wanna?

Blackout: Just try it.

Bradley: *he crossed his arms* NO!!!

Blackout: It's not like its something not okay to say. It's like me saying "Blackout TRANSFORM" though I don't need to say it at all, since I'm able to do it by will.

Bradley: *he stared at Blackout and blinked as if he didn't understand the Decepticon at all*

Blackout: Don't be so stupid Silverbolt. We know who you are and who Jesse actually is.

Bradley: How you know Jesse?

Blackout: Because he's a Maximal like you, but goes by the name of Cheetor.

Bradley: You starting to be vewy, vewy weird.

Blackout: Apparently your mind has become so corrupted you can't even remember your own friends. Surely you must know a Predacon known as Blackarachnia.

Bradley: Who that?

Blackout: *growls in frustration* Your girlfriend, you idiot!

Bradley: Don't call me that! I don't know what you talk about!

Blackout: You are so corrupted, it's insane!

Bradley: You're insane!

Blackout: Why you little…*he charged at Bradley*

Bradley: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! *he flew off far and fast and escaped the pissed Decepticon*

Blackout: Come back here miscreant!

Bradley: *he flew off, flapping his eagle-like wings as hard as he could, and left the Decepticon area*

Blackout: I will find you, Silverbolt, and next time we meet, it'll be the worst you've ever confronted someone! *he yelled*

Bradley: *he gasped for breath as he became exhausted and fell from the sky and landed on the footsteps of a door with a thump*
