The Search for Megatron

Chapter 4: Robots in Disguise

Barricade: "Got a job for you rookie. You up for it? Or are you still raw from hitting you?" "Decepticons do not fear pain. What do you want?" asked Skydive. "That's what I like to hear! I tracked an Auto-bot in this human town of Tranquility, and I'm sure he has info we need. But like a typical Auto-byte, he's hiding, we need to find him." Barricade explained. Skydive got the directions from Barricade and drove there. "Barricade, I arrived at the location you specified what do you need me to do?" asked Skydive. "You got options rookie. You can scan the cars, and maintain cover. Also, the forms you scan will be stored in your memory, for later use. Of course if you want to be a tough guy, you could destroy all of them." Barricade suggested. Skydive decided to scan the vehicles, because if he destroyed the vehicles would cause the authorities to show up.

Skydive scanned four vehicles: Beater, Sportster, Notch-back, the pickup truck. He scanned the Beater, Sportster, and the Notch-back, he destroyed the pickup truck. Barricade sent the next cordance to Skydive's navigation computer. Skydive drove to the location. The vehicles he had to scan or destroy were the same vehicles, so he destroyed him. Yet again, Barricade sent the third cordance to Skydive's navigation computer, and Skydive drove to the location. All he had to scan was a Beater and a Notch-back.He destroyed the Beater and hit the Notchback, which went flying. The Notchback turned to the Autobot he was looking for! He quickly shot rockets at the Autobot...who was weak like most Autobots for Skydive. "Good, you flushed him out.." said Barricade, "...Scan him to see if you can find any information.". Skydive scanned the Autobot, "Got something... there's an Autobot named 'Bumblebee' who's investigating some human ship from a hundred years ago. The captain claims 'He saw a giant metal mane frozen in ice'." said Skydive. "Looks like the Auto-butt want to race us to Megaton. I'll tail Bumblebee..you stay put." Barricade ordered. 

"Starscream, come in." Skydive said. "Report." Starscream said. "The Autobot 'Bumblebee' seems interested in a ship's captain who may have seem Meg..um.. the Decepticon who sent the signal we received." Skydive said. "How interesting...did you find out 'where' this captain saw the metal man?" Starscream asked. "In the Southern Polar region of the planet, the humans refer it as 'Antarctica'. Do you want us to go there to investigate?" Skydive asked, "That wont be necessary, I wouldn't either of you to waste the energy, to chase after ghosts. Keep me posted on any new developments. Starscream out." Starscream said. "Ghosts, eh Starscream? Hm, we'll see about that." Skydive said to himself.
