Summer Storms

Part 1 of the Summer Storms Series

This is a Fic i did just for fun. all the stuff everyone says, nomoneyownedbyhasbro.

This Fic is done before Tigatron and Airazor are taken, but every one who is, is TM1. oh yes, i can't do Rattrap's accent. I will try but it will be pitiful i assure you. I know, i ashamed of myself also.

We see that it is dusk, the sun setting behind the Axalon.

There is a muffled roar, sending the plain birds (you know, the birds that live in the plains?) up in droves...

Dinobot: "YOU LITTLE HUNK OF MOLDY FUR! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT VERMIN!"

Rattrap slides down the corridor and races down the hall in beast mode. A very vibrant purple raptor is quick on his tail. Rattrap looks over his shoulder and snickers to himself. "Rattrap, you 're a genius" he told himself. Suddenly...

THUD! "OU!" Rattrap sits up and rubs his nose, realizing at the same time he had run straight into Depth Charge, in beast mode of all things. "What in tha' Primus lovin' world are ya doin' Captain Minnow?" He exclaimed. Depth Charge mumbles back "It was a dare, to go on all day in my beast mode..."

Suddenly, Depth Charge's personal computer sets off an alarm stating that Rampage was in a 200 yard radius. "X!" he exclaims coldly.

"Just one problem," Rattrap giggles. "You would have to be joking to go after Rampage now, especially in yar sardine mode!"

At the very idea, Rattrap start rolling on the ground in hysterics. Depth Charge glares at him, but being a manta ray, that makes Rattrap laugh even harder.

Depth Charge sighs heavily, "sigh...I must attack him...but I cant seem to move...I'm stuck." he mumbles.

Rattrap had gone into the hiccough stage of a good belly laugh, when that last comment made him start all over again. Then,...

"URP!"

Forgetting about his previous prankee, Rattrap was hauled up by the scruff of his neck.

"Hello VERMIN!" Dinobot spat. "Shall we see if you have anymore paint in your barracks?"

Dinobot glares at Rattrap through cold reptilian eyes,

"Yes, I think we shall, and then...I know! We will have target practice...MOVING target practice!"

Rattrap gulped audibly. Dinobot had that quiet tone to his voice. NOT a good sign....

"Aww, come on Big Bot! Why do I have to go on patrol duty? Tigatron and Airazor are already out there." Cheetor whined.

"Because, you haven't gone in two days, whining that you need to do something or the other on that stupid video game you play all day!" Optimus was not in a good mood. Cheetor's whining had finally broken the gorilla's back.

"Besides, you should get used to your new TransMetal body."

"Well, what about you!" Cheetor quipped.

Optimus looked kinda stunned. For once, Cheetor had given a good quip. And for the first time in his life, he was right.

"Rattrap," Optimus said into his comlink, "come to the bridge."

Optimus looked to Cheetor. "You're right." He flinched inside when he said that.

Cheetor then took his turn to look stunned. "Oh..." he said.

Rattrap screeched into the bridge in vehicle mode. He was already painted a vibrant yellow with black splotches. "What is it Boss Monkey?" He asked, at the same time looking over his shoulder at the sounds of Dinobot stomping this way.

"I'm going on patrol with Cheetor. You're in command in my absence."

Dinobot appears on the bridge, now a very queasy shade of green with the purple showing through.

"VERMIN!"

"ULP! Ok then Boss Monkey. See ya!" he yells as he zooms 'round the corner. Dinobot is soon hot in pursuit, armed with several buckets of paint and some cans of spray paint.

Optimus sighs "sigh....well at least he knows how to use his new TM body..."

Cheetor then got ecstatic "Well then come on Big Bot!" He exclaimed, "Could you give us a few megacycles extra time? You know, like those camping trip things?"

Optimus, having no idea what Cheetor is talking about, agrees.

"ULTRA GEAR!"

Cheetor flies off to get some stuff.

Pred Base

"My Queen!" Inferno states, "We are picking up a XXXXXXXXXXXXL Energy Storm coming our way!"

Everyone on the Predacon bridge does a double take.

"Noooooooo" Megatron whines, "That will leave us stuck inside for solarcycles. And you all know how Waspinator is after being stuck inside for weeks"

All of the preds gravely nod there heads...

The last time they had been stuck inside the base for a few solarcycles Waspinator had locked himself inside the pantry. And he found Tarantulas and Scorpinox's horde of Mega Size Pixie Sticks.

There was the ultimate chaos. Megatron had actually tried to send him into the maximal base.

Anyway, back to the story.

Maxy Base

"BLEEP! BLEEP! WHOOOOOOOO! BLEEEP! BLEEEP!" The alarm screeched.

"Incoming energy storm! WHOOP! Incoming energy storm. BLEEEEP!"

"Computer, estimate at the size of this storm." Rhinox asked.

"Size of storm is off the scale. On estimated scale it would be an XXXXXXXXXXXXL storm."

Rhinox glanced at the monitor. "Oh slag."

"Rhinox to Optimus....CSSSHHHHH (static).......Respond Optimus....CSSSHHHHHHHH..."

"The incoming storm must be sending the communications on the fritz..."

Outside the Maxy base

ZAP! FLASH! ZIPFH!

"HOLD STILL VERMIN!"

A very purple raptor, with green splotches and black stripes, is shooting at a target painted Rattrap. Depth Charge, in beast mode, and Silverbolt are standing by watching the scene.

"OUCH! OH slag! I'm gonna die!" Rattrap sputters while in vehicle mode, desperately trying to evade Dinobot optic blasts.

Rhinox comes down the elevator. "Everybody inside! There is a major Energy storm coming."

"How major?" Depth Charge wonders out loud.

Rhinox replies "Its gonna cover from our base to the preds."

Everyone's eyes bug.

Rattrap mutters "Oh slag, now we are really gonna die."
