RID Drift is my favorite autobot from that continuity, (Fixit, Jetfire, and Jetstorm being the lovable minicons.) so I wrote this.
Drift was teaching his students- Jetfire and Jetstorm- when Jetfire asked.
"Master Drift, Jetstorm and I were wondering why you seem to be down, lately."
Drift almost paused with the technique he had been demonstrating to the two minicons.
"Nothing to be concerned about, my pupils." He said.
Jetfire and Jetstorm shared a look but didn't question.
After the morning training was over, Drift excused himself from the minicons. He walked to a secluded area within the junkyard that had become Bee teams' base, owned by Denny Clay.
When Drift was sure that he was alone, he pulled out a disc from in-between his plating and clicked the 'On' button. A hologram appeared, showing a cybertronian femme. Drift looked at it with a sad expression, quickly shoving it back into its place when he heard some noise to his right. Drift whirled around just in time to see Jetstorm fly thru the wall, breaking stuff as he went.
"Jetstorm, are you alright?" Jetfire asked, concerned for his brother.
"I am fine, thank you for your concern, Jetfire." The black minicon with red highlights said, getting up.
"Fixit to scrapyard, I've detected a cybertronian energy signature." Fixit the minicon said over the comms in the junkyard.
Drift and his pupils rushed to the command center, meeting up with the others of the team.
"I've found a cybertronian energy signature somewhere in down- gown- (whack) -Crown city, oh, it's disappeared." Fixit looked in dismay at the map.
"Alright, team, let's find out if it's a con or an ally. Let's rev up and roll out!" Bumblebee said.
"Can I come?" Russell asked.
"No, sorry, you'll be needed at base incase an emergency arises." Bumblebee transformed into his vehicle mode, which was a camaro.
Russell made a noise of disappointment but didn't press on.
The team (Which consisted of a cadet law enforcer, a street racer, a samurai and his pupils, and a lieutenant law enforcer. Grimlock couldn't come since there would be too many humans.) Split up in order to find the mysterious cybertronian.
"Scrapyard to Drift, your near the original energy signature, proceed with caution."
"Understood."
Drift drove around some more but didn't get jumped by a con, instead by a human child standing in the middle of the road. The kid screamed and a teen broke away from the crowd and tackled the boy, rolling to safety with the girl taking the impact. Drift had began to stopped when he'd seen the boy, but if the female hadn't rescued the boy, he would have gotten hit.
The woman quickly pulled the boy and her out of the road, not looking back at Drift in his car mode.
Once Drift was sure that the way was clear, he drove away. His mind dwelled on the girl, it reminded him of the femme projected on that hologram.
"Bee to team, nothing here." There were responses of variations of the word 'No'.
Drift got commed by Fixit about the signal, "The signal passed infront of you, did you see our elusive cybertronian?"
"No, I did not." Drift replied.
The scouting mission was over when the sun began to sink below the horizon, no-one finding a clue about the energy signal.
Drift wondered about the woman who saved the boy from being hit by him. Could she have been the emitter of such a signal? He asked himself. No, it's impossible.
I'm waiting for my last af self to get the other chapters done before I publish this, sorry for the hold-up on my other story's. You'll have to start giving me ideas (Inoccent ideas too, no 18+ ones.) for some of them.
