{TFP} How it all started...

Chapter Three

Chapter Three                     

   "Yes, Lord Megatron." The two mechs agreed, soon bowing down and walking away. "So...we're partners now?" Breakdown looked out ahead of him.

   "I guess..." Knockout replied. The two kept walking until car horns were heard in the distance. Breakdown hid behind a rocky hill with Knockout following hesitantly.

   "Humans..." Breakdown assured, beckoning Knockout to follow him as he silently transformed, driving off onto the road. Knockout followed with a rev from his engine and followed Breakdown slowly. The young mech was worried. He'd hope that no human would freak out that there was no driver in the car...

Breakdown drove past a red light as Knockout stopped, scowling at him through the com. 

   -=WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?=-

   -=What? I'm just driving=-

   -=YOU DROVE PAST A RED LIGHT YOU IGNORANT IDIOT!=-

   -=Hey, hey. I don't read car manuals and all that scrap. Besides, IT'S MY FIRST TIME HERE ON EARTH=-

Knockout growled as the red light flickered down to green. He zoomed off after Breakdown, not caring what the speed limit was.

   -=Great, now you're going to expose yourself BECAUSE THE COPS ARE COMING IN OUR LOCATION!=-

   -=Relax, red pepper...sheesh=-

Knockout forcefully shut the com off, soon hearing a siren from far behind. "Scrap..." Knockout drove around Breakdown and took over, a chain shooting out his bottom rear [Under his alt. mode]. On the end of the chain was a hook that clasped onto a wire under Breakdown.

   "What are you doing??" Breakdown started to drive uneasily as the hook clasped tighter.

   "Saving our existence from being exposed!" He quietly answered, turning on his holoform. He stopped as a police car drove up, a man stepping out. Knockout calmly looked up at the cop, having no problem to talk to him.

   "Excuse me sir, but you've seemed to have crossed a red light..." The police man calmly noted.

   "Yes, I know..." Knockout answered, glancing behind and then back at the cop.

   "And why is that?"

Knockout sighed. "I was assigned to tow this blue car up to a...um....workshop...?" Knockout couldn't really find a proper response, leaving him sweating slightly. The man took steps back, looking around his car.

   "Hm...you may proceed..." He got into the police car and soon drove off.

Knockout slopped his back down the seat as he soon sat up straight and stiffened up, his holoform fading away. He then reeled back the chain and let Breakdown begin to take over him. The two soon drove into a small city as they silently drove into an alleyway. Knockout transformed, servos on his knees. His chest was pulsating rapidly as his spark was beating in relief.

   "Thanks to you, we could've been found out!" Knockout growled tiredly.

   "Yeah, yeah. Thanks to you, we weren't..." Breakdown shyly admitted.

Knockout glanced at the ground then at Breakdown. "You're welcome...?" 

Breakdown gave a friendly smile before offering his servo. "Friends...?"

Knockout hesitated before shaking his servo. "Friends..." He smiled at him.

Breakdown then lifted his servo in a fist. Knockout was silent before finding out what he had to do. He folded his servo into a fist as well and punched his knuckles gently onto Breakdown's.

   "It's called a bro fist." Breakdown chuckled. 

   "I know..." Knockout smiled and transformed again, the monitor on the vent beeping as a light faded in.

   Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

   "What is it?" Breakdown transformed as well.

   "Autobot signal..." Knockout instantly drove off onto the road, following a green car silently. Breakdown followed, adjusting his side mirror. It seemed like a human was trying to catch up to the green car they were chasing after. 

------------------------

   "Bulkhead!" A girl shouted, but then covered her mouth.

   "[Name: Miko Nakadai]." Soundwave informed. He was standing on a cliff quietly, scanning the human for analysis. He turned to scan the green car.

   "[Autobot: Bulkhead]." He then transformed and flew off, back to the ship.

Miko took out her cellphone and called Bulkhead. 

   -=What is it Miko?=- Bulkhead asked through the com.

   "Two cars are following you...they might be Decepticons."

   -=Alright, I'll keep on guard...=- Bulkhead continued to drive, soon arriving out on a sandy, rocky plain.

------------------------

   "Um...Knockout?" Breakdown kept following.

   "Yes, Breakdown?"

   "Weren't we already here?"

   "Does it matter?"

Breakdown kept silent after that. He sort of felt stupid for asking. Knockout kept following the car silently as he lost him behind a rocky hill. 

"Watch out, Breakdown."
