Transformers One Shots

Red Energon

Madison and Anna

"What is this?" Madison asks, staring at a shard of red energon. Just like regular energon, the blue substance that gives the transformers life, but this shard of energon is red, and can be used for a different purpose.

"Red energon." Knockout responds, sighing at Madison's knowledge of nothing cybertronian.

"Where's Starscream? He's supposed to be watching you, not me." He grumbles, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes.

Knockout wishes to be alone, as Anna is gone on a vacation with her family, and he gets a break from babysitting. But he can't find Starscream, maybe because he's trying to play some prank on Knockout, or just simply trying to get on his nerves. And Knockout is sick of it, but Madison is enjoying it.

"I don't know where he is. But I miss Anna... Have you seen her, talked to her at all? She hasn't told me what's going on... I want her back."

"Oh boo hoo, kid. She'll be back."

"Don't call me kid, robot."

"Don't call me robot, kid."

"You are a robot though, Knockout!" Madison continues to argue.

"And you are a child." Knockout scoffs.

"Boo hoo for you too. I'm gonna continue to bother you until you tell me anything about Anna." She crosses her arms.

"Fine, fine. She is doing perfectly fine. She didn't bring her phone charger and said to tell you... Oh, sorry. Forgot to mention that." He smirks.

Madison pouts, crossing her arms and turns away, a tear falling down her cheek. She just wanted her friend back. These Decepticons don't have any compassion. But... because of that, Madison and Anna have turned some of their views around. Starscream and Knockout do care about the children, they just refuse to admit it.

As well as that, the two teens decided that anytime the two robots showed any lack of compassion, they would get back at them, by doing basically anything that would get them in trouble. Only careful that Megatron wouldn't be too mad.

Megatron still can't believe he allowed two humans to stay on board his ship.

Madison and Knockout didn't say a word, just turned their backs away from each other, until Knockout sighs.

"Madison, I'm-" and she cut him off.

"What would happen if a human were to ingest energon?"

"The substance contained in energon will burn your organs in a simple touch."

"So I can't drink it..." Madison trails off, but then she smiles. "What if I just were to touch it?"

And before Knockout could shout or do anything, Madison pressed her hand against the red rock. 

Nothing happened at first, and Knockout sighs in relief. However, Madison stared in awe at her arm as it began to glow a reddish green color. She smiled at the sight, knowing that something bad was going to happen.

But bad means fun.

When the red glow reached Madison's legs, she looks up at Knockout and smirks, moving her feet into a run, chasing him around the room. But he couldn't reach her. She ran too fast. Her legs went before the rest of her body, and they moved at the speed of light.

"Try and catch me slow poke!" She teases.

"Madison!"

She ran out the door with nothing else, chasing down each purple and black drone, causing them to spin around, trying to find the menacing laugh, but they ended up falling on their back sides. Knockout wanted to stop and pester them for being so clumsy, but he didn't have time for that.

"Catch me if you can~"

Madison stopped for a second to catch her breath, as Knockout glares at her. "Madison, stop what you are doing now. You are going to tire yourself out."

"Kind guess that." Madison breathed.

She looked up and smiles at Knockout. "But I'm not stopping yet." She begins to run. "This is too much fun!"

Knockout chases her down. Starscream stands in the background, simply watching and chuckling as Knockout skips around. So pathetic, he thinks to himself. He continues to laugh silently, until he stops, feeling the presence of someone standing behind him.

"What are you doing, Starscream?" Megatron sighs.

He's tired already from the last battle with Optimus, having gained many injuries, and scars that probably won't ever fade. He's also tired of Starscream's nonsense. He's been acting so immature lately.

"Uh.. nothing! sire.." he bows.

"Quit your blustering and get on with it!"

"Just laughing at Knockout, my liege. Knockout was pranked by... Madison!" Starscream syays in an instant, lifting his arms across his face, hiding it from Megatron. He wouldn't slap him. No, not this time around.

Megatron frowns. "Madison?"

"Yes Madison! Who else would play a prank on that crazed medic!"

"What happened to Anna?"

He actually remembered their names. What a surprise there.

"She's on a trip with her family."

Megatron walks off.

Back with Knockout, Madison is beginning to get tired. She's used up all her energy, and the red energon is running out. Which is good. The human system couldn't stand too much of an unknown substance. Not without time to adapt to it.

But oh humans. How strong they are. Their minds can believe and stand so much. So much knowledge and it doesn't affect them. The strongest organism ever.

Madison stops, and she bends over, gasping for air. She used up all her energy, and Knockout knew it.

"There, there Madison." He rolled his eyes, lowering to his knees to gather Madison in his hands.

"Ughhh, now I'm sleepy!"

"Well duh. The red energon used up all your energy! It's not meant for human systems."

"You could have told me that!" 

"You didn't let me!"

Madison grumbled, lying into Knockout's servo and falling asleep.
