So yes. Another rp'd story this one with the awesome Daerenys Starcatcher. *sighs* I should be hit. Hard. But bunnies breed no matter where you're at. Not to fear, everything else is still being worked on. Just... muses are dead. Except for the Feelings Series which is also going slowly but that has more to do with RL than muses dying off :1 So here's something new for you guys. ALSO there is another rp'd story with these same character's on Starcatcher's profile! It's called Of Lambos and Seekers! CHECK IT OUT! Very adulty. Anyway, hope you enjoy this. Rating may or may not go up, but we don't plan on it. Disclaimer: Not ours. If it was, bitty!twins would be real. Enjoy :}
It had started out as any battle on Earth had gone. The Decepticons raided a powerplant for energon. The Autobots showed up to stop them. Insults and witty comeback ensued. Then everyone opened fire on each other. Normal.
Even Megatron's master plan and weapon backfiring was normal.
"Ha! Take that, Motorhead!" Sideswipe crowed as he watch Motormaster trip into the ravine head first. Wheeljack was trying to work on the machine they'd made it to while he and his brother provided the CEO with some cover fire. He whooped as a jet went screaming over head, his brother gripping and directing an out of control Thrust into the nearest wall and jumping off before collision. The golden warrior landed some ways away but covered the distance quickly just as Starscream and his trine landed.
"Heya, Screamer! Just in time to join the scrapheap!" The red twin taunted, leveling his blaster and firing. Sunstreaker grinned dangerously beside him, his own blaster out and firing.
"You'll eat those words, moron." Starscream promised with a hiss, powering up his null rays for a decisive shot right into that fragging red demon's faceplates.
That was quickly aborted by a random shot from Air Raid, whose laser blast knocked Stascream's arm just a tad to the right, fouling his aim. Sideswipe could feel the charge from the null ray blast travel past his head, electric and dense. He whistled inwardly; that would have /sucked/, to be knocked out cold by the Screamer in mid-battle.
Sunstreaker's expression was absolutely furious; he didn't take it well when someone attacked his twin, and Starscream was one he particularly disliked. He fired almost blindly, missing by a mile, and threw himself at the Seeker, only to hit the ground when Skywarp appeared, jerking his trineleader up and out of the way of the furious golden grounder.
"Too slow in your old age, Sunshine!" Skywarp taunted. Sunstreaker looked up through the mud that was enbedded in his optic and snarled, his hand making a very rude human gesture that had become popular among Autobot and Decepticon alike.
Wheeljack grumbled, dropping his tool for the fourth time due to Rumble's piledrivers creating a localized earth tremor near his position. The Cassetticon was grinning, knowing quite well that he was fragging with Wheeljack's plans, and the normally-nonviolent scientist narrowed his optics, his helm fins flashing orange. He picked up a long tubelike object and fired it at Rumble, and the cassette froze in place, dancing due to an electrical overload.
That taken care of, he began to work on his machine without the distraction.
"Yeah, well, you're not much younger Warpy!" Sideswipe cackled, shooting again, just as he heard a yelp and thena very distinct 'Well, that's not good.' From Wheeljack.
And that was when normal took a downturn into dangerous.
Sideswipe turned around, curious as Sunstreaker got up. Both saw the weapon beginning to spark and overheat. Wheeljack was already running away, yelling at the Twins to get the slag out of there. Sideswipe stood dumbfounded as the weapon glowed whitehot with a loud whine. Sunstreaker rushed his twin, snarling at him to get down.
Several things happened at once.
Sunstreaker tackled his older twin to the ground, just as the large peice of machinery made a 'click' sound. The Seekers took to the air. And the weapon imploded on itself, the white light of the blast encompassing twenty to thirty feet around it. Including the Twins.
"Frag, I /hate/ it when that happens." Wheeljack said solemnly, a slightly pinkish glow from his fins indicating embarrassment. Smoke rose from the remains of the machine, and the air finally cleared around where the Twins were.
He hoped they were okay, and also hoped, for once, that his machine did /not/ work as intended. That would have been... Bad. Yes, bad was a good word for it.
He swore under his breath when he saw two very small, very afraid-looking beings were the ex-gladiators once were. The red one was clinging to the golden one, whose shoulders had begun to shake. He was silent, though, as though he were protecting his crimson brother at all costs. Even through the silent sobs, his expression was fierce...as fierce as a little mechling's could be.
Then chaos ensued. In the sky, two sets of three streaked toward the little ones, Starscream's trine easily outpacing Dirge, who cursed loudly over open comm. Starscream scooped up the sparklings and took off straight into the sky, leaving a group of /very/ confused and dumbfounded mechs on both sides standing there, staring at the empty place where the twins used to be.
Sideswipe wailed, reaching for his hiccupping brother who was held in the other arm of the stranger with wings. He didn't know where they were. Or what was going on. He just knew that they had been stuck in a fight moments ago and were now in the sky with a stranger and his brother was over /there/! Sunstreaker, for his part, stifled his terrified sobs with hiccups from his vocalizer as he reached for his brother as well.
"Give me, Sides!" He shouted over the wind, hitting at the stranger. "Give him!"
Starscream made absent clicking noises at the younglings, not thinking that they'd be /highly/ unlikely to understand Seeker cant. The sounds were supposed to be soothing, but by the wriggling of the little red one in his arms, it wasn't working.
"Calm down. We'll be somewhere safe soon." he said, cursing his programming.
Skywarp struggled with the golden one, who had bitten him on the hand in an effort to get closer to his twin. "Fragging slagging Pit-spawn demon-child!" he swore, but he still held on tightly as they flew back to the command tower of the Nemesis. Thundercracker flew near them, watching closely to ensure nobody fell...and it was he who pinged the control tower, demanding immediate entrance.
By the time they got in and landed properly, the little red mechling was wailing loudly, and the golden one wasn't speaking at all. He scowled at everyone and everything, waiting until Skywarp placed him on the ground. When he did, he ran over to Starscream and kicked him in the shin, glaring up."
"My brother. Down, /now/." he said insistently.
Starscream glared down at the yellow sparkling. "We don't kick." He said slowly. Really, what the frag was going on here? Not a few kliks ago they'd just been firing at these little demons... Well, they'd been big demons at the time, but that was beside the point.
The tri-colored seeker set the red twin down and he immediately buried himself into his brother's arms and stifled his crying in a black shoulder. Sunstreaker continued glaring up at all the adults even as he stood there shaking with tears still wetting his face.
"Fragger!" He shouted. "Go away!"
Thundercracker raised an optic ridge at the youngling's language, and felt compelled to say, "We don't use the word 'frag' either, little one." Skywarp snerked loudly at this; apparently, /he/ felt no such aversion.
Several other Decepticons walked by...or tried to walk by, stopping dead in their tracks when they saw miniature frontliner twins glaring up at the command trine.
Hook stopped...glanced downward, looked up at the Seekers, and cleared his intakes. "I suppose you'll be needing me to check them over." he said stiffly, not looking forward to having them in his repair bay.
"Yes, yes...just /give us a moment/, all right?" Starscream said waspishly. "I'm rather /busy/, if you can't tell!"
Hook stalked off in a huff, leaving the Seekers to their new charges.
"We won't be going away. What are your names?" Thundercracker asked, receiving only twin dirty looks in response.
"Sideswipe and Sunstreaker." Starscream declared. Without thinking, the two looked up. "Welcome to your new home."
"No!" Both Twins shouted in unison.
They didn't like it here already. It was big, it was scary and there were so many big mechs around that made them feel so small.
Sideswipe clung tighter to Sideswipe. "Sunny..." He whimpered quietly. "Wanna go back to the hole..."
Sunstreaker held his brother just as tightly when the purple and black seeker crouched in front of them, a thoughtful finger on his chin. "Ya know, this small they're kinda cute."
Starscream snorted loudly. "Whatever. Grab them and let's get them further inside before they get stepped on."
