Two Party Heads are Better Than One (Transformers: Animated and Ben 10 Universe)

Old Wounds, New Families

Bible: Proverbs 27:6 - "Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."

   Live from a La Baguette-sponsored Portrait House, several political leaders representing each ethnic group worldwide, both Americans, Afghans, Germans, French and Russians were in different row seatings. "Thank you all for showing up to the '05 Parisian Artistic Charity Program, where everybody is given the opportunity to give back to this city, children, athletes, doctors & nurses, teachers and executives as engaged participants. Winner owns the prized portrait and some free loaves before being required to give away 25% of the designated bidding price, less than their competitors" announced the middle-aged crooked 'stache' auctioneer.

Both ethnic groups expressed themselves in five different senses. Americans including George W Bush, H Steven Blum and John B Jumper conversing deeply with wide palms shut, Temporary Soil Comrades -- Afghans including Hamid Karzai, Abdul-Aziz Lamar (commanding military officer) being seen in gesturing coded communication, Swedish prime minister Goran Persson, and his 'Armed Force Supreme Commander' Hakan Syren injecting and sniffing their surroundings to distinguish anything from Renaissance. Their soldiers did the same before mumbling and conversing secretly in Swedish while the Germans led by Chancellor/Commander-in-chief of their own Armed Forces -- Gerhard Schroder exchanging personal clandestine dossiers of the same peoples they're currently sitting with and lastly Motherland. Russian suited wolves are seen with each earpiece that is meant to communicate with their inside man and benefactor before a slight ear irritation had to take place. Here I'll explain it to you, the Army commander buzzed the Base scientists to scramble the building speakers and lights, which worked for a good minute to temporarily numb the ears for the most part. Codename was "Turn the lights off and send in the thermal troops to scan the painting now" (выключите свет и отправьте термальные войска, чтобы просканировать картину прямо сейчас).

When the lights returned, everybody else was shocked as frozen eels in Antarctica. But nevertheless everybody including the auctioneer were guided as sheep back to the main subject at hand. "Alright everyone, I know that was an unexpected, wild turn of events but as we speak our technicians are currently checking, straightening and analyzing the building wires to see if they need rebooting but nevertheless the show must go on, you have couple days to cast your votes with or without La Baguette." While World Leaders were still conversing and planning to involve more armed people for the beautiful painting and spending less money, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin asked to be excused and found himself with two security personnel within a parking lot. After getting himself and his men to shut down any wire-tapped tech, he pulled a burner to communicate with a dark, secret Cybertronian bounty hunter along with a small yellow excavator on his shoulder - Da, my tech boys snatched the coordinates for the Pink Egg, we'll be expecting our financial payment along with more bigger bodies to bring us more honey for my people."

"Easy, irritating fleshling, you'll get your money's worth as soon as you and your boys live up for your end of the deal. I'll have my boy Headlock receive the package and be forewarned, my pal doesn't like returning empty-handed." "We'll keep that in mind, just keep reminding your employer about undying loyalty, that aspect above all else." "We got eyes and ears all over well-esteemed president." Lockdown then ended the call by pressing his headgear ear. "So what else is next for 'Crarmageddon', boss?"

"Like we've discussed before leaving the ship, driving straight to the Painting house for extraction and if those pesky homosapiens try to double-cross, take Adamclaw with you to secure the building. That mansion ain't gonna waiting for us forever so we, especially need to end the chase now; ADAMCLAW, come over here."

A red eagle-motif fortified claw shoulder-padded con walked menacing to the circle of the other two ugly bounty hunters (Resembles your favorite silent character from the Prime series). "Adamclaw, nice of you to join us. We have a mission for you to execute and Headlock will be tagging along to guide and hopefully delight you for a contingency plan; won't give you much here face-to-face so I'll make this brief just to remind our fellow Russians to remain in their low place." After Headlock and Adamclaw transformed, Lockdown also added: "More details will be said while you two are on the road, now go my lowly partners."
