Transformers Crossfire Chronicles
I don't own transformers Hasbro does but I do own my OC yadda yadda yadda.
Hi guys I am sorry that I have not updated in a while but I was being lazy and finals, well you know how it is. Well any way here we go.
After the vacation the Autobots had not heard from the Decepticons in a while, and it was certainly eating at Optimus. He wouldn't tell any of his soldiers but everyone all ready new. One time when Crossfire and Bumblebee were at target practice together they started to talk about Optimus's little habits he was developing.
Every so often he would sit a Teletran 1 and look at the sky spy for hours or even days. And other times, when he would have war games, he would start unloading rounds of live fire. The only way to knock him out of it was to wait until the blaster cartridge was out of ammo. Then when he would realize what he was doing, the usual routine was he would mumble an apology and go back into the base.
But in the present moment Crossfire was getting his targeting computer calibrated by Ratchet. "So I says to the private ' I don't care if it smells get in there and get that energon regulator.' and then he …...
Little that Ratchet new that Crossfire had turned his audio receptors off. And that was what every one did but now one could bring themselves to do it. Because if he found out then when time came for repairs they would be at the total wrath of his technological genius.
And every time someone went in for repairs they all agreed that every couple minutes they would nod or grunt in agreement, and surprisingly he never caught on.
So as Ratchet was clicking away on a keyboard, he said to Crossfire "ya know your a pretty interesting piece of work..." Crossfire didn't respond. "Helllllllooooooo," Ratchet said again. Crossfire then looked at Ratchet and saw the impatience on his face and quickly responded while at the same turning his audio receptors on at the same time. "Oh well, I ah guess I was just ah not paying attention." then he tried to look innocent and smiled. But when he saw the look of skepticism on Ratchet's face it wasn't likely that he was buying it. Then it was time to use the excuse technique.
Spike had taught him and the other Autobots about this maneuver. "The trick is.." spike started , "to make it like you are busy with something else and then run away."
Crossfire then said excitedly "Oh, okay Optimus I'm coming, sorry Ratchet I gotta go." Then he transformed and gunned the engine. As Crossfire peeled out Ratchet could have sworn he didn't hear Prime at all. As Crossfire road out of ear shot he entered the main part of the base and mirage stopped him. "Whoa Autobuddy where are you heading off to in such a hurry?" Mirage asked quizzically. Crossfire did a U-turn transformed and stood in front of Mirage. Crossfire started "I was trying to get away from Ratchet and his old war stories." Then he laughed, and asked "So Mirage what do you got for me today?"
Mirage then turned serious " Prime wants you to perform a special mission, go to Optimus if you want more info." Then Mirage walked away leaving Crossfire to himself. After pausing for a bit he started for the command center. As he walked he started to contemplate how his life at the Autobot base was going for him. He liked how Optimus Prime treated his men right. And also how the Autobots treated one another like family. It was nice.
As he came upon the command center Optimus was at Teletran 1, as usual. When Optimus heard foot steps he got up and turned to see Crossfire standing at attention. "Ah, good" Optimus started. " There has been a lot of meteorite activity and whenever we try to go and recover one of them they disappear off the map. And that is where you come in," He turned around and clicked away at the computer again and on the screen appeared a meteorite. It was going real fast Crossfire could tell that much.
"That meteorite is scheduled to land in Africa, tonight. And you are going to be there when it lands." Optimus ended, then added quickly"and you will also be taking the Dinobots with you." As if on cue Grimlock barged in with his dinosaur mode yelling "ME GRIMLOCK, GET TO GO ON ADVENTURE FOR SHINY FLYING ROCK!"
Crossfire's jaw dropped when he heard about the Dinobots. And he concluded from the mission specs this would be not an easy one at that.
…...
As they traveled to Africa it was slow going. When the Dinobots heard it was coming later that night they decided to go as slow as physically possible. For the explanation that Crossfire got about saving fighting energy.
And Crossfire thought it was the most annoying thing...ever.
They were going so slow Crossfire could have sworn he had seen what the humans called a what was it? Oh yeah a snail. He could have sworn he had seen some go by... twice.
As they kept trudging along and the Dinobots kept on their usual racket, until Crossfire got so fed up with it he just stopped walking.
Then Grimlock by mistake walked into him.
Grimlock's POV
WHY IS PUNY AUTOBOT STANDING IN WAY? HE SHOULD WATCH WHERE HE GO, ME MIGHTY GRIMLOCK COULD HAVE CRUSHED HIM.
(Back to sane reality)
When Crossfire turned around even the Dinobots could tell he was mad from the look of his face plate. Then all of the irritation broke loose. "Could you be any LOUDER," Crossfire started "I am surprised that we haven't been shot at yet. And if we go at this pace we will never make, CAN YOU READ MY LIPS YOU PEA BRAINS!" Then Crossfire started to breath so he could cool down his processors.
Then all of the sudden one of the dinobots yelled "ME sNArL lIKE liITLE AUToBoT! Snarl said. Swoop chimed in "Me Swoop also like Autobot buddy." then they all started to break out in conflicting ideas about the one that stood before the Dinobot leader.
"QUIET!" Grimlock yelled. As Grimlock paced Crossfire could see the old gears turning in his head. Then he spoke "ME GRIMLOCK AGREE WITH OTHER DINOBOTS, WE MAKE BRAVE AUTOBOT HONORARY DINOBOT."
Crossfire was once again at lost for words.
Swoop then asked "What should we call little one?" That was some thing that nobody replied to. Grimlock all of the sudden said "ME GRIMLOCK WIL THINK OF SOMETHING … EH ...EVENTUALLY."
And on that note they kept walking.
…...…...
It was night when they all got to the supposed landing zone of the meteorite. The mismatched team of skilled accuracy and unrivaled strength milled around until Swoop, spotted something off in the distance of the sea of unending grass.
"I saw it, I saw it, big group of metal thing closing in on zone." Swoop kept repeating. "Hold it!" Crossfire yelled. "What do you mean there's a big metal thing?"
Swoop then described what he saw to Crossfire frantically. All Crossfire could say in reply was "That's not good." As Crossfire then walked away and looked at the landscape to try and spot cover in the nearby location. Then he spotted something perfect. There was crater that was not to far for them to see the whole landing zone. "Every one, over here!" He said and jumped into the whole. Soon after Grimlock, Slag, Sludge,Snarl,and finally Swoop jumped into the crater.
After jumping into the crater, Crossfire had since kept his visual detectors trained on the sky for the meteorite. Snarl, Slag, and Sludge talked amongst themselves about who could crush a car faster. Grimlock and Swoop were still looking for a name to call crossfire until the meteor started to come into the atmosphere.
"All right, get in position." Crossfire yelled as he went to the side of the crater. It came down looking like what the humans call a shooting star. Unfortunately, Swoop new what it was too. "Look shooting star!" Swoop said. " ME GRIMLOCK WISH THAT ME THINK OF NAME FOR PUNY AUTOBOT." Grimlock said downheartedly. As the meteorite started to get bigger so was the dust cloud in the distance that Swoop spotted earlier. And it wasn't making Crossfire any more comfortable with the situation that was a hand.
Knocking Crossfire out of his thought the meteorite crashed into the earth. Even though the Dinobots wanted to go get a closer look Crossfire said to sit until the dust settled.
When the dust settled Crossfire was shocked to see that the Decepticons were they're.
Crossfire could not find out where the Decepticons had come from...unless he thought to himself the dust cloud that was approaching from the east! All they could do now was to sit and find out what the Decepticons wanted with the meteorite.
Even though Crossfire could not find out what the Decepticons were conversing about with Megatron but he did see what they were doing. The Decepticon grunts were loading Energon cubes off of the meteorite.
So that's why the other meteorites were gone when the Autobots had tried to retrieve them. Crossfire was very fortunate though when Starscream turned around in they're direction. Crossfire ducked when Starscream almost saw him. He was about to warn the other Dinobots when he noticed something. "Hey where's Grimlock?" Crossfire asked.
Little did he know that Grimlock was also at the side looking at the Decepticons. Then it hit him and Grimlock just had to say it out loud "ME GRIMLOCK FOUND NAME FOR LITTLE AUTOBOT!"
Megatron's POV
All was going according to plan. And as Shockwave said in his message that the secret weapon was almost ready for mobilization. Soon Optimus and his puny army will be crushed by the awesome might of Megatron! Megatron thought to himself darkly...
(Back to reality)
But something shook Megatron out of his mental psychotic rant. At first Megatron thought it was muffled but when he tuned his audio receptors to the sound it became clear, it was...shouting?And as he looked at his subordinates he could see that they were aware of it too. And then they heard it . "ME GRIMLOCK FOUND NAME FOR LITTLE AUTOBOT!" Then Starscream said,
What the?...
