Collect em all!
Hello all! I just have to point out that this is the 3rd story that I have updated this week. That's a new record for me. Lol! Ya'll enjoy!
Nala1024: Im glad you like it!
SnowKi: Heres more for you!
mchap1154: Lol, is it too soon? Of course it had to be Sideswipe! I love him lots! Sideswipe better hope Wheeljack never gets a hold of him. Dun Dun Dun! Grimlock is adorable in a always confused kind of way! LOL!
unicron1000: Here's another!
DJ Jazzy: Yes he is...but then again he was a crime boss. I'm guessing it was part of the package. Lol! :)
AllSpark Princess: Don't worry I get your drift, and I totally agree. I was never gonna let them get that far into their relationship because they are too young. No naughty for them! LOL!
Bumblebee-the-Dork: Your welcome! Cookies make the world go round! Thank you, I was so worried that I wasn't writing Thunderhoof's correctly. I'm glad to know that I worried for nothing. :) Don't worry Sides and Hope will not have an abusive relationship, but I'm sure she will be hitting him on the back of the head often. Lol! That's actually a good idea to put them in that episode, as long as I can make it sound good. :) Another cookie for you for the good idea!
snake screamer: That's exactly what I think. She probably just didn't like that everyone was so willing to trust her and agree with her.
...
"This is Bumblebee and Grimlock. There is no sign of the fugitive." He says over the com.
"Beta team leaving sector eight for sector nine. Zero contact, optical or auditorial." Strongarm replies.
"Urg, what Strongarms trying to say is we got ziltch." Sideswipe adds.
"What I'm doing is using language appropriate for Cybertronian law enforcers on duty, which Bee, Hope, and I are. Something I think you've all forgotten." Strongarm retorts before driving ahead.
"No ones forgotten Strongarm, but we have to handle things differently here than we would on Cybertron. So, please cool your circuits." I add.
She just ignores me.
"Who's been putting shrapnel in her intake valve lately?" Sides asks me.
"Who knows. Its Strongarm. She doesn't always need a reason to be grouchy." I reply.
"Aww my poor baby having to work with the rule book for so long." Sides coos playfully.
I giggle. "Believe it or not she does have her moments and if you ever get in a real pinch she'll have your back."
We're interrupted by a large shadow passing over us from above. "Alpha team direct contact." Strongarm announces.
"Party time!" Sides exclaims zooming ahead.
"Sideswipe this is not a party. This is a pursuit; regulation 134 section 2: An officer shall not initiate a high speed chase without-"
"You wanna follow rules or the bad bot?" Sides asks as we continue to drive after the bird lke Decepticon.
"On Cybertron we did both." She argues.
"Well we're not on Cybertron are we?" I retort.
The Con then lands on a powerline. We go ahead and transform. "Know a rule for getting that thing down?" SIdes asks as we stare up at the Con.
The Con stares at something on the powerline and then at Sideswipe. A scratchy femme voice, which surprises me, says, "Shiny." She then swoops down at Sides.
"Mayday! Officers under attack!" Strongarm alerts.
"We'll be right there!" Bee replies.
The Con grabs Sides with her talons and drags him across the ground. "Polly wants to crack me!"
She goes to stomp him but Strongarm and I starts shooting at her, which gets her attention. "Wings up birdbrain!" Strongarm yells but then pauses to scratch her side.
This gives the Con the chance to knock her weapon out of her hands.
"Good grief, fight now scratch later." I state.
Suddenly the Con grabs both Sideswipe and Strongarm and starts flying off with them. "Bee help!" I yell.
Thankfully he was close by. He jumps into the air and kicks the Con, making her release her grip on her two captives. Sideswipe lands on his peds while Strongarm is less graceful and lands roughly to the ground. I rush over to the pair to check on them. "Are you guys alright?" I ask.
Sideswipe immediately puts up his macho facade. "Oh yeah, no problem. When you're as tough as me it takes alot to hurt ya."
"Uh huh. Sure." I reply playfully.
"No really. Just check out these guns." He says while flexing his arms.
Grimlock runs up while yelling, "Who needs punching?!"
"Time to go back to your cage." Bee tells her as we all walk towards the Con.
She just screetches and flies into the air only to land on the same powerline. She then uses her beak to try and take something off of it.
"Careful Bee." I say to him as he climbs the powerline.
The Con finally manages to snag what she wanted and takes off, but his causes the cords to come undone and swing at Bee. They hit him and zapp him, making him fall.
"I got it! I got it!" Grimlock holds his arms out for him.
He misses.
"I don't got it." He adds.
We help Bee stand up, then watch as the Con dissappears.
"Alright team, lets head back to base. Nothing we can do about the Con right now." Bee orders.
Once we get there we go to the command center. "We lost the fugitive." Bee announces. "Anything on the scanners."
Fixit checks and then brings up the Alchemors manifest.
"Let's see the mugshots. Fliers only." Strongarm adds.
Fixit pulls up her info.
"Thats our foul." Sides says.
"Apparently her name is Filtch." I add.
"What makes you think that thing is a femme?" Sides asks.
"For one when she spoke earlier. It was feminine sounding. Plus, it says right there on the screen." I reply.
"It also says shes a compulsive thief." Bee adds.
"Does it say future punch taker? Cause shes gonna be that too." Grimlock asks.
"Seems shes been stealing everything from water tanks to railroad switches and radar domes." Fixit says.
"And endangering humans." Bee adds.
"Filtch would have already been in custody if Sideswipe hadn't broken regulation 1-3-4 section 2." Strongarm states.
"You have been a total freak about rules these last few cycles!" Sides exclaims.
"We won't make any real progress here until we all go by the book!" She replies aggressively. "It's my duty as an enforcer."
"Hopes an enforcer too and she doesn't shove a rule book down everyones intake." Sides replies.
"Well I guess that makes me the more competent enforcer." SHe retorts.
"Or the more irritating one." I add.
She just huffs and stomps off.
"I didn't start it that time. Your all witnesses." Sides states.
"She's always been quick to throw around her rulebook, but shes been worse than usual lately." I comment.
"I'll go talk to her and find out whats up." Bee says. He leaves to go check on her.
"Urg! I sure wish she'd lay off. It's getting on my circuits." Sides grips.
"Don't worry about it. Everyone has off days and if I know Strongarm, and I like to think I do, shes probably home sick." I explain.
"Home sick?"
"Yeah. She won't openly admit it, but I know she is. Earth isn't exactly home." The last part I mutter.
Sideswipe gives me a questioning and concerned look. "I'd say by your tone you are too."
"What? No, I'm fine." I lie.
He hugs me to him. "You don't have to lie to me babe. It's okay if you miss home."
I sigh and absentmindly stroke circles into his chest. "It's not just that. I really miss my creators too."
"Oh...I'm sorry. I wish I knew what to say that would make you feel better." He says comfortingly.
I smile at the thoughtfullness. "You don't have to say anything. Your hugs are plenty comfort enough."
"All in a mechfriends line of work." He replies playfully. "So, I gotta wonder what they would think of us."
"You mean if they would approve of you or not?" I ask.
He pulls back and chuckles nervously. "Well, you know the whole meeting the creators thing is nervwracking."
"Awww, you don't have to be nervous. I only have a carrier with kick aft moves and a sire with an obsession with explosions." I reply with a smirk.
He chuckles nervously at that. "Uh, you wouldn't leave me alone with them would you?"
"I'll think about it." I reply.
Bee and Strongarm come back to the command center, and shes looking a little calmer than before. "Filtch is on the move." Fixit says. "Hope, Strongarm, and Sideswipe lets go. You too Denny. We may need you to run human interference."
Denny looks excited at the idea. He grabs a suitcase. "I've got my bag of disguises ready."
Grimlock transforms into his dino mode. "Let's rumble!"
"Uh, not this time Grimm. We'll be close to downtown and you do-"
"No no! I've been working on looking like an Earth based vehicle mode." He runs behind a pile of stuff. "Just hang on...one second...almost done...check it out!" He comes out with stuff on him. He then gets down so the tires on him are on the ground. "I'm a truck. Vroom vroom." He says as he "Drives" in a circle.
I giggle at this. "Looking good Grimlock."
Grimlock asks Bee what he thinks and Bee just shakes his head. "Aww come on."
"Sorry Grimm. Maybe next mission." Bee replies. He then tells us to get ready so we all transform and drive after him.
We spot a bridge up ahead and also see the Con. It looks like she's found something else to add to her collection. When we get there she is trying to snag a beam that keeps the bridge stable. "Quick before she-" Bee tries but she gets the beam off.
She tries to fly off with it but Bee catches ahold of it. "That stays here!" He manages to stop at the very edge of the bridge. Filtch, however, tries hard to fly away.
Then a beam snags and the bridge starts to shake. "Secure the bridge!" Bee orders.
Sides and I run ahead to secure the bridge. We run underneath it and see it cracking. He and I put our hands on the bottom and hold it up. Its very heavy so it doesn't take long for us to start struggling. "Sure wish this thing was lighter."
Sides gives a strained chuckle. "You and me both."
Strongarm makes her presence known by joining us in holding the bridge up. "How do we fix this? Rules call for repair as soon as-
"Don't worry about rules right now! Just brace the bridge!" Sides interrupts.
The bridge starts shaking more. Bee comes up and helps hold it. "Are you three okay?!" He asks.
"Other than ignoring every disaster protocol we're great." Strongarm replies.
"Would you can it! Your protocols are getting on my circuits." I state.
"Well excuse me for trying to keep everyone updated on the rules." She retorts.
"I'm quite aware of the rules. I am an enforcer after all." I reply.
"That's enough you two!" Bee interrupts.
"Did someone call about a bridge?" Grimlock asks suddenly coming up. With an impressive amount of strength he pushes the bridge up and keeps it there, giving us the chance to let go. "I could do this all day."
"We don't have all day team and neither does Denny." Bee says.
"Why? What happened to Denny?" I ask.
"Filtch grabbed him when she spotted his helmet." Bee replies.
"Good grief. She's worse than a cyberweasel." I chuckle.
"Alright everyone lets go." Bee states.
We follow Bee to where he says Denny was taken by that bird con, until we end up at a giant statue where we see the very small form of Denny waving at us from his spot at the top of the statue.
"There's Denny, just like Fixit said." Bee says. We pull into the road that leads right to the statue and transform once we get to the base. "Grimlock, how ya holdin up?" He asks him over the com.
"Awesomely. I am literally holding up awesomly...ok, slightly less awesomly now." Grimlock replies.
"Race ya to the top!" Bee exclaims as he runs at the statue.
Swideswipe turns to Strongarm. "Write him up Strongarm. Bee's cheating."
"Both of you are violating section-"
"Forget it Strongarm. Not like they would listen anyway." I interrupt playfully. "Let's show em how femmes do it." I then run at the statue as well.
We all gradually start climbing. Sideswipe manages to get the furthest. He then looks down at the rest of us. "Just passing through."
Filtch then makes her presence know by flying at us. "Secure Denny!" Bee orders.
Filtch ignores the rest of us and grabs Bee in her talons.
"Bee!" I yell in worry.
"Lieutenant!" Strongarm adds.
Flitch slams Bee onto the ground and screetches at him.
"Hope! Let's get Denny!" Sideswipe states.
I look back at Bee and see him punch Flitch. Deeming him okay I follow Sideswipe and continuing climibing after him.
"Hey Hope! If I make it to the top before you; you have to give me a kiss." Sides exclaims.
"Your my mechfriend now. You can have a kiss whenever." I reply.
"Yeah but a challange makes things more fun." He adds.
I just roll my optics at his antics. When we reach the arm of the statue we hear Strongarm yell and turn to see her leaping at Filtch and punching her in the beak.
"I will never understand her." Sideswipe mutters.
"Join the club Sides." I reply.
We finally make it to the top and see Denny surrounded by shiny stuff...more scrap in my opinion. "Ohh, shiny." Sides says jokingly.
"Funny." Denny replies sarcastically.
I turn my attention to Bee and Strongarm and see Filtch slam them to the ground. I get an idea. "Sides, I could use your throwing arm."
Getting what I mean he says, "Anything for you babe." He picks up a steel beam and aims at the bird con. "Look out below!" He warns our teammates. He then throws the beam at the Con.
The beam travels quickly at her and hits her right in the head. This makes her fall to the ground uncounscious. "Nice shot muscles." I say to him.
He starts flexing his arms at that and smirks. "What can I say? When you got it ya got it."
I roll my optics. "Whatever you say. Now, let's get down there. I'd rather not stay up this high for any longer." I grab Denny and have him hold onto my shoulder as I climb down. Once we reach the others, after Bee used the beam to support the bridge, we head back to the scrapyard.
Bee went up ahead with Denny to fix an issue with an uninvited guest while the rest of us gather up Filtch. When we reach the scrapyard we have to sneak past the human guest so that he doesn't see us. Once She is in a stasis pod we walk back over to Denny and Russell where he has just sold some things to the human male.
Fixit rolls by while holding the humans camera while muttering, "I am going to figure out this star making thing."
Denny turns to me and Sideswipe and asks, "SO I've been meaning to ask. When did you two get together?"
"WHAT!?" Muptiple voices ring out.
"WHat do you mean together?" Bee asks.
"Well he did call her babe when they were getting me off that statue. I'm pretty sure that means the same as it does on Earth." Denny replies not feeling the sudden tension. He then lets out a slag eating grin. "Its so cute!"
"So, you two are dating now? Epic!" Russell exclaims happily.
"Partaking in a relationship with a delinquet? It will never work. What was going through your processor?" Strongarm asks in that special tone of hers that just grinds my gears.
"Can it. The fact that we're together now is none of your business Cadet Nag." Sideswipe replies to her.
Bee walks up to me and asks, "When were you planning on telling me?"
"When I figured out a way to say it...look, its not a big deal. You even said yourself that Sideswipe's a good mech." I state.
"Yeah, but that was before he became interested in you...do you have any idea how your creators would react to this...your sire especially." Bee asks.
"I'm well aware, but I really like Sideswipe. And I know its cliche but it just sort of happened. We didn't plan on getting together, but I am glad we did." I argue.
He sighs and then mutters, "You really are growing up...this makes me feel really old."
I giggle. "Your not old uncle Bee...I'm just catching up."
"Nice try...alright, I guess the only thing I can be do is trust your judgement and be happy that your happy." He states.
"That's all I ask...thanks Uncle Bee." I say happily.
He smiles and rubs my helm. He then turns to SIdeswipe where he looses said smile. "Alright Sideswipe I'm going to support this relationship you two have decided to start, but if I find out you've hurt her, whether it be intentional or not, I will scrap you. Her creators will be the least of your worries. We understand each other?"
Sideswipe actually looks a bit nervous before saying, "You don't have to worry. I'll scrap myself before I hurt Hope."
Bee nods at that.
"Your just going to allow them to pursue a relationship? That would be highly irresponsible while we are pursuing Decepticons." Strongarm protests.
Bee seems to think on something as he mutters, "Like carrier like daughter." He turns his attention back to Strongarm. "I have faith that they can be mature enough to handle it. Besides, it's their choice. The least you can do is understand."
"Never will understand why she would want to date a punk." She mutters before walking off.
A little concerned Bee follows after her.
"Well, I for one am happy for the two of you." Denny says.
"Thanks Denny." I reply.
"All I ask is that you keep any PDA at a minimum around Rusty." He requests.
"No problem. I'm not one for PDA." I reassure.
"Does that mean I won't get any kisses?" Sides asks.
"No, you dummy." I reply. "Oh, I had a thought."
"YOu wanna kiss?" He asks jokingly.
"No. I think I know why Filtch grabbed you earlier today." I state.
"Do you? Do tell why?" He asks humoring me.
"She's obsessed with shiny stuff, and you are probably the most shiny bot here. So, she was naturally attracked to your shiny finish." I explain.
"What can I say. The femmes can't get enough of me." He says smugly but jokingly.
"Apparently. Looks like I'm gonna have to watch out for bird Cons stealing my mech from me." I reply just as smugly.
"That's not where I was going with that." He replies.
I laugh as we continue our banter, with everyone cutting in.
...
