Chapter 2: Spotting

The next morning, Kenny walked along the hallways of the HQ. For some strange reason it was pretty quiet which was strange. He listened for any signs of arguing, talking, fighting or at least walking. But nothing could be heard. Every few mornings, Brawl would sneak up on him and tackle him to the ground. But this time Kenny would be ready. Kenny assumed everyone was in the rec room drinking energon and eating some energon snacks. Soundwave and Shockwave usually didn't eat with everybody and stayed to themselves. Kenny didn't want to bother them much. Finally after walking down a few more hallways, he finally heard arguing coming from two drones.

"Ugh, what's happening this time?" Kenny face-palmed.

As he found the source of the yelling. He found the two vehicons beginning to shove each other. Kenny bolted towards them and jumped in between them. But as he did, one of the vehicons slammed a fist into Kenny's face by accident. If the vehicons had regular optics they would have been wide open.

"OH SHIT I HIT KENNY!" The vehicon gasped backing up.

"Way to go dumbass!" The other drone scoffed.

When Kenny focused his vision, he realized it was his friend Sonny who had hit him. Sonny, one of the silver jets, gasped realizing he may be recieving a beatdown from Kenny.

"KENNY I'M SO SORRY!" Sonny said covering the part of his face where a mouth would be.

"It's okay Sonny! I'm okay! Man you got a nice hit!" Kenny said impressed actually.

"Uh...thanks?" Sonny felt embarrased.

"Wait...Kenny you know this guy?" The other drone asked.

"Yeah, Sonny is my friend!" Kenny said. "Let me guess, you mistook him for a member of one of those jet gangs?"

"Y-yeah...oh scrap. Listen Sonny I'm sorry...it was a misunderstanding!" The drones apologized.

"It's okay man." Sonny chuckled.

Kenny at the moment had his backed turned to another hallway not realizing Brawl was sneaking up behind him. However, Sonny noticed this and signaled Kenny with a glowing visor. Kenny understood and got ready. As Brawl prepared to lunge, Kenny turned around and tripped Brawl making the tank fall flat on his face. Kenny, Sonny and the drone began laughing their afts off. Now Brawl himself loved a good prank and all, but even he knows when the jokes could go too far. No one has ever attempted to trick Brawl, not even trip him. When he got up he growled.

"Oh I see, trying to start something Kenny?" Brawl sneered cracking his knuckles.

"Huh, no I was just getting you back for tackling me all the time." Kenny said nervously backing up. "Don't be mad!"

"Ah relax Kenny I'm just playing! But I got ya didn't I?" Brawl laughed seeing Kenny's visor bend up to look scared.

"Y-yeah!" Kenny rubbed the back of his head.

Brawl turned to Sonny not recognizing him and mistook him for an evil vehicon. Brawl smashed Sonny against the wall and pinned him there.

"YOU! HOW DID YOU GET IN SCRAP-HEAP?" Brawl snarled preparing to punch him.

"BRAWL STOP! THAT'S MY FRIEND SONNY!" Kenny yelled.

Brawl then remembered Kenny mentioning Sonny and quickly backed off.

"I'm sorry!" Brawl said ashamed.

"It's okay...it's not the first time!" Sonny said sadly.

"By the way Sonny, what are you doing here?" Kenny asked.

"Oh, I thought mabye we and Bloodbath could do something today." Sonny suggested.

"Sure...that's sounds good." Kenny said.

They all began to walk towards the rec room where everyone else was at. They quickly got some fresh energon and went to find a table. Soundwave, Shockwave and Barricade were sitting together at one. And Bloodbath was sitting with two other drones. Kenny and Sonny went to sit down with Bloodbath who was waiting for them.

"Morning guys!" Bloodbath greeted.

"Morning Bloodbath!" Kenny said sitting down.

"Dude, did you get hit?" One drone asked noticing the small dent on Kenny's face.

"Yeah...Sonny was fighting with some other mech." Kenny chuckled.

"Dude seriously?" Bloodbath asked in disbelief.

"It was a misunderstanding!" Sonny shrugged. "Not a big deal. Heck you should've seen Kenny, he tripped Brawl."

"You tripped Brawl? Dude I'm surprised he hasn't tried to beat you down yet!" The other drone said.

"Eh, he laughed afterwards." Kenny said.

"Hey I heard Brawl's looking for new people to hang with!" Bloodbath said.

"New people? What's wrong with us?" Kenny asked shocked.

"Actually it's his brothers. He hasn't seen them for awhile." Sonny corrected.

"Hmm..." Kenny began to wonder.

Later that day, Kenny, Bloodbath and Sonny began to walk around downtown Tyger Pax. They had begun chatting about femmes, dreams and the new vehicons. Noticable drops of energon was splattered along the sidewalks from various fights. Inlcuded with the energon laid bits of metal chipped off.

"Ugh, look at all this. No doubt those jets!" Bloodbath scoffed.

"Tell me about it...I heard last night some vehicon got himself thrashed by two of them. Poor kid!" Sonny shook his head.

"Was he okay?" kenny asked.

"Yeah, a helicopter vehicon whipped both of their afts and sent them packing!" Sonny said.

"Nice, now that's a hero!" Kenny agreed.

"You're a hero too aren't you?" Bloodbath asked.

"Well, I don't feel like one. I just get lucky." Kenny shrugged.

As they walked past a few large apartments, they spotted two silver vehicon jets standing around. The brothers and Sonny ignored them and walked right past without a word. The jets were surprised to see Sonny who looked exactly like them. They spoke up.

"HEY YOU!" One called out to Sonny.

The three turned around and knew trouble had just started. Sonny began to shake in fear.

"What the slag are you doing?" The other drones snarled.

"What?" Sonny asked. "What did I do wrong?"

"Since when did you start hanging around these old out-dated drones?" The first drone sneered to the brothers.

"Did you just call us out-dated!" Bloodbath snarled.

"Yeah we did, so what!"

"So what? You can't say that?" Kenny retorted.

"Why? Not like you're going to do anything!"

"Wanna bet?" Kenny snarled. "Do you know who I am?"

"Yeah, some cheap knock-off!" The jets began to laugh.

"HEY BACK OFF!" Sonny yelled at them with determination.

"SHUT UP TRAITOR!" One drone shoved Sonny.

Kenny suddenly ran up and punched the drone straight into the ground surprising the others. The spikes on Kenny's fist drew energon. At this point many other mechs and femmes had stopped to look.

"Look it's Kenny!" One said.

"The one with the power of luck!" Another exclaimed.

The other drone charged Kenny but was kicked by Bloodbath.

"LEAVE KENNY ALONE!" Bloodbath stood his ground.

"KENNY? YOU MEAN...THE KENNY?" The jets yelled horrified.

"THAT'S RIGHT!" Kenny said stepping up to them with his claws outstretched.

But before he could attack, a truck charged up the road, transformed and revealed himself to be Trapper. Trapper activated the electrical energon tanks on his back and formed a sheild around himself and charged the jets.

"PREPARE TO GET SHOCKED!" Trapper roared smashing straight into the jets giving them a terrifying electrical shock that blasted them into a wall.

"AAAHHH! IT'S ONE OF THEM! RETREAT!" The jets screamed transforming and flying away.

Trapper powered down as the others went up to him. Trapper turned around and felt satisfied.

"You guys okay?" Trapper asked.

"Heck yeah dude, that was awesome!" Sonny said.

"Nice to finally see a truck vehicon!" Bloodbath said.

"I know...you saved us!" Kenny exclaimed.

"Aw it was nothing!" Trapper nearly blushed.

Then, Trapper examined Kenny. He looked like Kenny, sounded like him, but to Trapper, he was puzzled wether that was really Kenny or not. But he chose rather not to ask since it would be uncomfortable.

"Hey look I'd love to chat, but I promised my friends I'd meet them on the outskirts of town!" Trapper lied. "See ya!"

Trapper transformed back into a truck and raced off.

"Hmm, he seemed, confused!" Bloodbath said.

"Probably just in shock from the blast he made!" Sonny said.

"Hope he's okay!" Kenny shrugged.

Back with Trapper, he got back to the house and transformed. He looked like he had seen a ghost.

"I can't believe it...I REALLY MET HIM!" Trapper jumped up and down with joy. "I GOT TO TELL THE OTHERS!"

Starting with the next chapter, I am introducing one of my friend's OC to the group who's name is Jetstream. Jetstream belongs to Leonightis. But also, I probably won't be able to update everyday since I am currently also working my second Invader Zim story and my fourth Kirby story. So expect delays. Please review!
