Megatron's twin

173: Elite Chicken Elective

"EGG!" I shouted but it was already to late.

To late for the cyber-foxes!

Because Megatron and Optimus had already started blasting. It was a carnage, and Egg just squatted in the middle, to scared to move with all the shooting (I think she huffed some fire in shock and burnt herself).

However once it was over. "Well Chicks, I give you Brathähnchen, with the side of imploded fox-"

I COULD HAVE DIED! Egg shrieked at me and waddled her singed frame towards us.

"But you didn't-"

The chicks would have been without a carrier! She added as Megatron and Optimus hid behind a rock.

"'Could' have been-" I started, though now that she mentioned it, the chicks seemed rather upset. "Egg-"

Don't 'Egg' me. She started. Just think of the consequences in future-

"I got distracted! Honest-" I started, but suddenly, dozens of orange optics stared me down. Egg fled into my chassis and I quickly swallowed the chicks with my chassis.

Optimus whipped out his guns while Megatron yawned. "It's just chickens." He said.

"They just came out of nowhere." Optimus whispered back while the chickens just... Stared.

No scratch that, they just stared... At me. "Why are they staring at me?" I whispered and backed away to the other two.

You smell nice? I don't know. Egg started as their creepy heads twitched like chicken heads.

"Why don't you tell them, we come in peace." I whispered and took Egg out.

No! What are you doing? I've never been around fellow, grown chickens, I can't socialize! Egg hissed but it was two late. I held her out to the other chickens as if she were a peace offering.

She let out some delayed clucks. I put her down.

"What did she say?" Megatron asked.

"'We come in peace.'" Optimus translated.

One of the strange chickens stepped forward and spoke swiftly.

"What did-" Meg started.

"A strange one, one we know not." Optimus translated and I retreated behind the rock as we quietly watched.

Another chicken clucked.

Optimus translated, "But the grey one, we know that bot-" Another chicken squawked, "Perhaps he forgot-"

"I think they saved me from the cyber-foxes a while back." I started, "Thank you!" I added. The strange chicken bowed his helm and returned his attention to Egg.

"Wise beyond her years, but join, she cannot." Optimus translated. What the fuck is going on? Egg had no idea, she seemed to have been humbled. And very awkward.

She managed to let out a squawk.

"She said, 'who are you-." Optimus said and the Chickens gave a response, "One day, you will know, but now, we go."

And that was that, they just disappeared. They didn't teleport or anything, just masters of the shadows I suppose. Save one, that was having trouble disappearing but managed it eventually.

"What just happened?" Megatron asked. "Were we transported into one of Orion's stories?" He asked.

"I think Egg was just rejected by a elite chicken elective." I said.

I think that could of gone worse. Egg started, And as for the 'rejection' they clearly didn't know that I can breathe fire. Egg grumbled and let me pick her up. So those chickens saved you from cyber-foxes? Egg asked.

"Believe me now?" I asked.

Yup. Egg grumbled.

"Well, personally, I am a little scared, I am going to go back to the ship." Optimus started and Megatron nodded.

"Cowards." I started.

Me too. Egg said.

"Okay, lets go back." I said as Optimus gave a little shiver.

Megatron called for a bridge and we were safe. "Good thing the ship is still here." Megatron grumbled as he spotted Starscream at the monitor. "What are you doing?" He barked. Guessing by Starscream's reaction, he wasn't supposed to be at the monitor.

"Come on Eggy, you and the chicks need a bath." I said, "You coming?" I asked Optimus.

"Later." He said and walked off.

"Like talking to a brick wall sometimes." I grumbled and headed to the wash racks. I took the chicks out once I got there and plopped them in a sink with some running coolant.

Why do you think they rejected me? Egg asked.

"Perhaps you need to look older, wisdom doesn't seem to be the problem. Or maybe you need to be more mature-" I started.

I am mature!

"Oh right. So you don't hold competitions with the chicks on who can shit the biggest? You don't let of gas and blame it on me? And don't go thinking I don't know about that fanfiction you're writing about me and Optimus (It's great, I love it). But since you-"

Okay, I get it. Egg grumbled and breathed some fire into her bath, she had a spa going now. But how could they know about that?

"Spies! Spies everywhere!" I started.

You sound like one of those lunatics that write conspiracy theories. Egg started.

"Right what do you think of my latest?" I asked.

I wouldn't really call it a conspiracy theory, but it seems believable. Egg said.

"Just so we're on the same page, which one are you talking about?" I asked.

The one with the Scraplets. Their name likely comes from some scared bot saying, 'SCRAP it, LETS go'. She said. Your theories have nothing on Megatron's though.

"Oh really?" I started sarcastically.

He basically started a war over one. Egg said.

"I think I need to give you a history lession, or Optimus can do that." I muttered. "But I think the chickens have spies." I added. "Or maybe they have the Triptych Mask, who knows!" I grumbled and scrubbed her.

The chicks were spitting coolant at me. Well, I'm going to start working on my maturity. Egg said, Thank you, but I can clean myself. She said.

"Argh, if you're going to start being boring- knock it off!" I shrieked at the chicks as I got some rather hot coolant in my faceplate.

Egg asked for my help five minute later because she realized she wasn't flexible enough to clean her back strut.
