Megatron's twin

3:Racing

I slowly opened my optics to see the metal ceiling of my berthroom. How did I get here? I traced my memories and remembered the previous day. To be honest I wasn't meaning to consume that much high grade, but I must admit the results where amusing to remember. My tanks flipped over and I let out a grown, I needed to purge.

Slowly I placed my pedes on the floor and got up leaning forward slightly. This movement didn't help my tanks, it made me wish I never had that high grade to begin with. That was always the thought that resurfaced after my fun and the one I seemed to forget. So for now, I'm staying sober.

The door opened with a slight hiss as I slowly walked towards it. My steps were small as I wanted to restrict my movement, it helped slightly. I was halfway to the washrooms until I encountered Knockout. I hadn't meet him that much but from what I gathered is that he was more social than the usual cons.

"Ah, your up! Had a good beauty sleep?" He chuckled. I don't need beauty sleep I'm fabulous just how I am! The cherry red bot smirked as I attempted to get past him, he ducked under my arm in order to help me forwards. "Sheesh, you must've had a lot. You know at first I thought Megatron was the tipsy one and I swear, half the crew must've thought so to." He said in aiming to keep me distracted, the thought of my older twin pretending to be a cowboy crept into my processor causing me to chuckle.

This action did not go unnoticed by my tanks, once again causing me to grown. This alarmed Knockout, he suddenly sped up towards the washrooms dragging me along with him. "Don't purge on me! I only just buffed this!" He shrieked in pure panic.

With our sudden speed increase we reached the washrooms just in time. I leaned over and emptied my tanks, I repeated this a couple of times while Knockout stood outside fussing about how close that was for his comfort.

Once I was finished I sat down and leaned my back plating and helm against the wall. "Are you finished?" Knockout's voice came ringing. Why was he still there?

"Yea." I answered less cheery than usual.

"Then get out here! I don't have all day!" He exclaimed dramatically. I rolled by optics and wobbly stood up, rinsed my faceplates and went outside.

"Why are you still here? Oh, let me guess... you cant stand being away from someone this charming!" I smirked smugly. Knockout barked a laugh.

"Nah, I'm supposed to "babysit" you." He answered as we strolled to no place in particular.

"Babysit?" I repeated.

He raised his servos in defence, "big guys words, not mine."

I huffed my annoyance, Megatron told him to babysit me... How dare he! I'm a responsible, fully grown mech! I frowned, "are we going anywhere?" I asked.

"Medbay?" He suggested.

I snorted. "You want me near sensitive, easily breakable equipment?"

"No. Well, where else?" He shrugged.

I was also out of ideas, "I dunno, lets just go to the medbay." I decided. "Unless... maybe we could watch street races." I said desperately not wanting to stay on the ship and as I knew he liked street racing, that's the suggestion I gave.

"Mmm, Megatron told me to keep you on the ship." He said, it clearly pained him to say no, so I pushed further.

"Oh come on, you race, I watch, and he doesn't even have to know we left." I suggested, I knew I won the argument but I awaited his response.

"Fine! But one word-"

"And you'll shove a stick so far up my aft you'll see it when I yawn, yea yea, I know." I grinned.

I watched Knockout line up while I stayed hidden in my jet mode. There was a black sports car, a car with fames along the sides, a yellow muscle car with black racing stripes and... Knockout! This'll be fun to watch.

A human femme stood between the first two cars holding her hand up with something in it, when she drew in down the race was of! They raced round the curves drifting while turning and accelerated on the straights then, all of a sudden, my friend started shooting at the yellow car in front of him.

Playing dirty... ok, fine by me.

That was until they got of the track and sped away. I let out a huff of annoyance and flew after them in my silver and slightly purple jet form.

When I caught up with them I saw Knockout grab a red headed human, transform into his vehicle mode and accelerate away with the yellow car hot on his wheels. Now that I had a closer view, the yellow muscle car looked slightly familiar.

I continued to glare at the car until I remembered. That's a autobot! I laughed, watching the scene more closely now. A ground bridge opened, as I thought it was our own, so I ignored it, but then I saw Optimus prime and another autobot come out.

The prime grabbed onto Knockouts rear and tore the door of, Knockout shrieked some curse words, gently taking the human inside, out. He tore his door of! I flew down lower getting ready to transform and inflict some hurt, the scout looked up to see me approaching and beeped to warn the others, they also acknowledged me.

The ground was approaching faster then I anticipated and I may of transformed a little late (I have a horrible sense of timing). I ended up half landing, half crashing, I stumbled forward before landing on my chassis. If the autobots didn't know it was me, Megatron's s reputation would of fallen apart that very instant however, they knew it was me, so stayed rather calm.

The bots where distracted enough for Knockout to escape and I soon flew after him in pursuit. Once we where a fair distance away we both transformed. "I can't believe it! He ripped of my arm guard!" My friend exclaimed in disbelief, "and Megatron will have our helms!" He added as a afterthought.

"Well, your helm. It'll be rather weird for him to remove the helm of someone who looks like him." I added calmly. He looked at me in disbelief. "How can you be so calm!" He asked resting his servos on his helm.

"I'm not, I'm panicking internally." I said.

We called for a ground bridge ready to meet my brothers wrath.
