Chapter 4: I DON'T SING!
"So what's the problem?" Makeshift asked leaning on his desk and tapped his claws together.
"I'm sure you remember those three mechs back in Kaon that we used to torture!" Barricade smirked.
"Oh yeah, those guys! They always loved to pick fights with people. Heh, they were always scared of us because we were stronger. Especially me of course. Let me guess, they live here now?" Makeshift said with a devious voice.
"Yep, they beat up a mech that was trying to deliver info to us!" Starscream said.
"Hmm, why not send Bumblebee, Megatron or Optimus to stop them?" Makeshift said pointing to Optimus.
"Well, Megatron would simply kill them, Bumblebee is on a mission, and for me, I don't think I have the rights to just simply kick them out of town." Optimus said.
"Uh, yeah you do! You can do whatever you want! We don't care! It's Cybertron, not Earth! Besides us policemech beat up people for no reason anyway! I've done it...twice! Go crazy!" Makeshift said.
"Oh now you tell me!" Optimus mumbled to himself.
"If Optimus did it, it would be too easy, we need to make them feel the way Breakdown did. Which is why we came to you! They don't know you live here and me and you are their worst nightmares. Especially if you add Hound and Ironhide." Barricade said.
"Ironhide works here too?" Starscream asked.
"YO IRONHIDE, HOUND GET OUT HERE!" Makeshift called for them.
"Hey guys, I didn't know you were around!" Ironhide said coming through a door with Hound.
"Hey guys!" Hound said.
"Hey Makeshift, where's the bathroom at?" Starscream asked.
"Down the hall and to your right!" Makeshift said pointing.
"Thanks!" Starscream said and ran.
Meanwhile on the highway, a few minutes away from Iacon, Bumblebee and the seekers were talking. Since Bumblebee's new modification, his car form had recieved slight changes including a tall double-decker spoiler bigger than Barricade's, a blower on his hood reaching the height of his roof, two big tires on the back and 4 exhaust pipes on both sides. So pretty much he looked like Snot Rod from "Cars", only gold and black.
"Holding up Shockwave?" Bee asked.
"Yeah, I guess!" Shockwave said. "Man this will be long trip!"
"Yeah, we are nowhere close!" Soundwave said.
"Imagine if we catch up to Breakdown!" Bee said.
"It's logically possible!" Shockwave said.
"Stop using that word all the time!" Soundwave said.
"I can't help it I was created that way!" Shockwave said.
Every once in a while Bee's exhaust pipes would shoot up fire forcing him to speed up. Soundwave was bored and decided to put on some music.
"Anything you guys want to listen too?" Soundwave offered.
Bee slowed down and got beside Soundwave to whisper. Shockwave caught on.
"What are you whispering about?" Shockwave said about to come over.
He saw Soundwave shake up and down agreeing to something. Just then "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts began to play and Shockwave shook.
"Oh no!"
"Aw yeah!" Bee laughed. "Come on Shockwave, sing with us!"
"WHAT! I DON'T SING!" Shockwave protested.
"That's not what we heard!" Soundwave said.
A few days ago...
Soundwave and Bumblebee walked by a bathroom in the agency and hear Shockwave faintly humming at first in the shower. They began to giggle. Shockwave soon starts to sing silently but Soundwave's sensors begin to pick it up. Both mechs and Lazerbeak start to laugh hard but not loud enough for Shockwave to hear.
Back to present...
"Whatever I'm not singing!" Shockwave said.
"He will eventually, after all he did when he actually watched that movie." Soundwave said.
"Eh, the first one was better than the second!" Bee said.
Back over at the Police Station, Starscream was finally done and sighed with relief.
"Frag that took forever!" Starscream said flushing.
Starscream exited the stalls and went to a sink that had a mirror above it. Starscream was just finishing when two policemechs came in smirking. Starscream was looking down and drying off his claws too busy noticing the mechs advancing on him. When he did notice he turned around hitting the wall in horror.
"AHH, what's the big deal sneaking up on me like that? Starscream snarled trying to stand at his full height. But the police mechs were at least two inches taller.
"What are YOU doing in OUR STALLS?" One of them said.
"What do you think I would be doing in here?" Starscream snapped back.
"You should have stayed with that Prime!" The other mech snarled.
"Now you got to deal with us!" The first one said.
"What did I do?" Starscream said now afraid.
"Come here without a policemech to protect you!" One said cracking his knuckles.
"Ugh, you policemechs are so-" Starscream's statement was cut off by a fist to his mouth knocking him into another wall.
Starscream groaned as he wiped off energon that dripped from his mouth. He tried to get up but the policemechs didn't let that happen.
"STAY DOWN SEEKER!" The other mech said and punched Starscream in the face blackening his right optic. Then he kicked Starscream in the chest.
The mechs laughed at Starscream's humiliation. However, Starscream wasn't humiliated, he was very angry. His claws extended a bit. What the mechs didn't know was that at some point, Bumblebee had increased all his friends strength, speed and power. The beating Starscream just recieved was nothing but a minor dent in his power. Before the policemechs could act, Starscream lunged at the one in front of him and stabbed his claws right into his chest where his spark was. The other mech watched in horror as his partner wheezed and choked at first, then as Starscream removed his claws he watched as the lifeless body of the mech fell to the ground. Starscream's optics were glowing gold at the moment since he had some of Bumblebee's power in him. He kicked the mech's body without mercy then stared at the other one.
"Going somewhere?" Starscream growled.
The remaining mech lunged and took a swing that Starscream dodged. That gave Starscream an opportunity to punch the mech square in the face knocking him into the mirror Starscream used earlier. The mech didn't have a chance to react when Starscream plunged his claws into the mech's chest killing him too. He looked around to find cameras in the bathroom but luckily there were none.
"If anyone asks, they beat each other to death destroying the bathroom!" Starscream said. "And I got too close!"
He made sure he didn't leave any traces of him being there behind. Once he knew he was clear he left the room not even looking back. Now he had to explain his injuries. He found his friends still talking to Makeshift but their talking ceased when Starscream came in embarrased. Optimus, Barricade, Hound, Ironhide and Makeshift all shared a "WTF" look.
"What?" Starscream asked.
"Starscream what happened?" Optimus asked.
"Well, I was just finishing up in the bathroom when two mechs came in fighting. I think they were trying to kill each other, once I finished I poked my head out of the stall only to get punched back in. I stayed in the stall till they were done. But when I finally came out again, they had both fought to the death and they were just lying there dead!" Starscream lied.
"Huh, oh well, that happens all the time!" Hound said.
"HUH?" Optimus, Starscream and Barricade said together.
"Yeah, can't stop it! But they don't mess with us since we're best friends with Makeshift right?" Ironhide asked.
"Exactly!" Makeshift agreed.
"Am I still needed?" Starscream said.
"Well, not in that condition." Makeshift said. "You're dismissed."
Starscream sighed with relief. He saw that the window behind Makeshift was open, transformed to flight mode and took off quickly.
"So, how does tonight sound?" Hound evily smirked.
"Perfect!" Optimus said.
Meanwhile back on the highway, the song had ended and everything went silent. Bee and Soundwave were stunned. Shockwave was embarrased.
"That was one of the best singing voices I ever heard. Didn't know you had it in you!" Bee said.
"Yeah...I guess!" Shockwave said.
"Want to sing again?" Soundwave asked.
"NO!"
