Allies

Escalating Conflict

Chapter 7

A/N: Hey everyone, welcome back! Good to see everyone again! I hope y'all are enjoying the rewritten chapters so far, I know that I'm enjoying rewriting it and definitely like fleshing out a few things some more. Though I will admit some parts of this chapter might be choppier than I'd like. It really wanted to fight me during the writing process. Anyways, I don't own TFP or YJ.

"Bee talking."

"Maybe this was a bad idea!" Robin exclaimed as they leapt behind a boulder as blaster fire reigned down around them.

"You think?!" Emerald snapped. Popping out from behind the rock she managed to hit one of the 'Cons with a blast from her ring. "But then again, we wouldn't be in this situation if my cousin wasn't such an idiot."

"True."

Any other comments they had were silenced as the sound of an engine began to become clear through the sound of gunfire. The teens froze, glancing to each other, before quickly turning around to face the source. Fortunately, they were able to breathe a sigh of relief as they spotted a familiar green truck sped towards them.

Dust flew into the air as Bulkhead came to a stop, the passenger and back doors closest to them swinging open. "Get in!"

Like they all needed an invitation.

Scrambling inside the vehicle, the teens barely made it inside before the Autobot slammed his foot on the gas. "What are you all doing here?! I told you to stay put!"

"We're looking for my idiot cousin: ginger, no common sense, doesn't think as fast as he runs; you seen him?" Emerald replied.

"Hey!" a protest came from the back seat followed the sound of a smack and a yelp.

"You idiot! What were you thinking?!" Emerald exclaimed. "How could you be so stupid?!"

"Like I was going to miss the action again!"

The cab of the car rang with the sound of another smack as Emerald started to throttle her cousin. "Miss the action?! Haven't you listened to anything 'Bee or I told you about the 'Cons?! There's a reason we don't go on missions when they're involved!"

"Oh like you haven't gone on a mission with them?!"

"At least I know what I'm getting into!" Emerald retorted jamming her finger into his chest. "Besides, those times were accidents! What you did, that was on purpose! Heck! The League barely gets involved with the 'Cons; do you really think Optimus would let me join up on missions if he's hesitant to let our mentors join?!"

"Oh like your best friend wouldn't sneak you along?!"

"Unlike you he has a brain, so no, he wouldn't!"

The argument between the cousins ended abruptly as the vehicle came to a stop and the doors swung open. "Everyone out!" Bulkhead ordered. The group of teens scrambled out and Bulkhead slammed the doors shut before he looked at all of them, "All right, stay here—I mean it!"

With one final warning look, Bulkhead drove off, leaving the group of superpowered teens behind the boulder.

Emerald growled as she pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a headache starting to form. With a loud sigh, she turned to face the others, crossing her arms, "Ok, so we're here, we don't have access to the groundbridge, and I bet by now comms have been jammed. KF, since you got us in this situation, you get to stay down here in timeout. Robin, try to see if you can contact the League, or someone. Aqualad, please keep them from doing something stupid."
