Entry for the 2008 Fan Fiction Competition

The theft of the rubber duck

By: Waspimus Prime

Megatron: NOOOOOOOOOO!

A short pause

Megatron: PREDACONS! GET HERE NOW!

As the Predacons assembled them selves into a line Megatron was fuming

Megatron: were is he were is he were is my one true love were is he were is he were is my one true l were is he were is he were is my one true love

Waspinator: what Megatron mumbling about?

Megatron: I’ll tell you what I’m mumbling about…

He leaned towards Waspinator. He was so close Waspinator could see his own reflection in Megatron’s armour

Megatron: THERE’S AN INTRUDER IN THE BASE! FIND THEM!

The Predacons all ran off in different directions (Waspinator and Quickstrike crashed into each other). Megatron put his fingers to his temples and tried to massage them, but just made an ear piercing, metal on metal, squeak. Megatron slammed his fist against the side of his chair. The chair shorted out, stopped hovering then made a giant puff of smoke. All you could see was Megatron’s eyes glowing

Megatron: I hate my life

*

Blackaracnia was going along on her hover board, when she turned a corner, and smashed into an unsuspecting Inferno

Blackaracnia: hey watch it cherry butt

Inferno: why are you not searching for the maximal intruder?

Blackaracnia: because there isn’t an intruder

Inferno: but the royalty…

Blackaracnia: royalty, shmoalty.

Inferno was shocked

Blackaracnia: there were no sirens, or anything. Does he expect us to believe what ever he says?

Inferno’s mind felt like it was going to blow

Inferno: for the Royalty!

Inferno tried to turn Blackaracnia into a char-grilled spider

*

After an hour of searching all of the Predacons (except Inferno) came to see Megatron.

Waspinator: Waspinator can’t find intruder anywhere

Blackaracnia: there isn’t even an intruder in there

Megatron looked at all of them, then took a deep breath

Megatron: yes there is!

Quickstrike: I’ve looked all over this place, and I can’t find a single slaggin’ Maximal!

Megatron: There has to be one!

Tarantulas: why!?!

Megatron: because he stole my…

Megatron turned red (which is very hard for a Cybertronians to do)

Megatron: Because… because…

Blackaracnia: see he’s got nothing; this was all a wild cyber goose chase

Megatron: BECAUSE MR.SQUEAKY IS MISSING!!!

All the Predacons looked at him with huge eyes

All: who’s Mr.squeaky?

Megatron had to tell them, it was the only way he'd see Mr.squeaky again

Megatron: Mr.squeaky is my rubber duck

The Predacons were in stitches on the floor

Megatron: It’s not funny!

Megatron yelled in frustration, and shot at the ceiling

The Predacons all stood to attention

Megatron: I would search too but I have to greave, so you’re in charge

Every one was shocked

Tarantulas: you’re pointing at Waspinator

Megatron: I don’t care, just find him

*

Waspinator, walked into the room, (wearing a earflap hat, like Sherlock homes), to see the predacons playing poker

Quickstrike: wanna play bug eyes?

Waspinator: no! Waspinator says you should be looking for rubber duck!

Blackaracnia: just because just because mega dork put you in command doesn’t mean you can tell us what to do!

Waspinator: fine Waspinator will do it him self, humph!

Waspinator stormed off.

                                                          *

Waspinator peered into the screen one last time

Waspinator: one hundred hours of searching and Waspinator has nothing!

He put his head in his hands, and cried a little

Waspinator: wait, if computer say there was no intruder, then it wasn’t Maximals, it was Predacons

                                                          *

Waspinator: and were was two head on the bluster night of the 13^th

Quickstrike: what kind off a question is that!

Waspinator: Mr.squeaky was last seen that night

Quickstrike: are you callin me a traitor?

Waspinator: what if Waspinator is?

Quickstrike leapt on Waspinator, and started attacking him Blackaracnia walked past and saw them

Blackaracnia: you idiot we were all in that cave making that machine that was supposed to make an earthquake…Waspinator you were there!

The two stopped fighting, and brushed down them selves down

Waspinator: so if it wasn’t two head or spider bots… who took Mr.Squeaky?

Blackaracnia: I think that I know

She signalled that they should go to the computer. On it was early human

Blackaracnia: if you zoom you’ll see that the duck is in its hand

Waspinator: thank you, but why spider bot do this?

Blackaracnia: nothing else happens around here

And then walked off. Waspinator transformed to Beast mode, then headed strait for Megatron.

                                                          *

Megatron: THEY DID WHAT!?!

Waspinator: the fleshy bots to the duck, but Waspinator tracked them, an know exactly were they are

Megatron: OK! Just get him back…my replacement isn’t the same

Megatron held up a blue rubber duck 

                                                          *

Waspinator brushed back a leaf, to show the early humans in a circle worshiping the duck, which was on a rock pillar.

Waspinator: all right every one ready?

The Predacons looked as unenthusiastic as ever.

Waspinator: let’s go!

He fired wildly into the ear, and was immediately joined by Quickstrike. The humans ran for there lives

Quickstrike: ye doggy! We got the little furry varmints!

Waspinator walked over and took the duck, then turned and walked of, but in mid step heard a strange noise. It was like rock scraping, he turned to see that there was another piece of rock coming out of the pillar, the duck must have held it down, he thought

Waspinator threw himself at the ground.

Waspinator: everybody get down!

It was just in time to, arrows shot in all directions, one shooting his wings.

When the barrage stopped, the Predacons got onto Blackaracnia hover board, except Waspinator, and it took off.

Waspinator: WAIT FOR WASPINATOR!

Blackaracnia: you can fly bug breath

Waspinator: waspinator's wings got shot!

But they had already left. Waspinator looked around, then started to walk back, then he heard a rumble. The noise was getting closer, and closer. Waspinator turned to see a giant boulder heading strait for him! He ran and ran, but he was no match for the boulder. Just before he was flattened, he threw the duck up in the air, and then caught it again, but when he caught it, he was 2 dimensional.

                                                          *

A very flat Waspinator handed Megatron his rubber duck

Megatron: Yes! Thank you! Thank you Waspinator!

Megatron then rubbed noises against the ducks.

Megatron: oh I’ll never let you go again!

The Predacons all looked like they were going to burst from laughter

Megatron: leave! All of you! NOW!

They all did as they were told, but just as Waspinator was leaving.

Megatron: Waspinator!

He turned and saluted.

Megatron: have you seen Inferno?

Waspinator shrugged.

                                                          *

Inferno: I’ll find those intruders! This air vent is so cramped…but if the Royalty commands it…
