Oi! Casusfere! Take your Havoc quick or I'll keep him!!
Special thanks to Den and Tam for helping me whack my brain straight when I hit mental ruts. Hope you enjoy ^_^. What a luvely mech your lad is, thanks for lending him out :D.
"GET DOWN!" Havoc roared, swinging his cannon around and aiming it at Ironhide, who ducked just as he let loose. The Decepticon that had been swooping down at them screamed as the cannonfire hit him. Havoc smiled, satisfied as he stood.
"Well, glad that's over," Ratchet grumbled, digging himself out of the rubble and standing by the two war mechs. "We should grab that wreckage when it lands."
"Right. Wait. Is it just me or is that wreckage going to land on the humans' natural gas storage?" Ironhide blinked. No sooner had he spoken than the flaming metal struck the gas station, resulting in a rather massive explosion that sent all three mechs shooting backwards.
However, instead of hitting the ground and being overwhelmed by flame and heat, all three hit the ground and felt... nothing.
"What?" Ironhide sat up, rubbing his head. "What happened?"
"Could've made an easier landing..." Ratchet grumbled, then looked around, stopping when he saw the rolling purple hills and gigantic, orchid-like flower forests. "This... isn't Earth, is it?"
Havoc blinked, looking around and rubbing the back of his head. "No... it was not on the Internet...."
"Perhaps it's a human secret," Ironhide said, pulling himself to his feet and helping his friends up.
"A fine theory, but it rests on us being blown through some kind of barrier that would hide it from us, which I find unlikely," Ratchet said.
"Quiet, I heard something move," Havoc said suddenly, sensors locking on some strange looking bushes that had just moved. All three crouched, guns at the ready, but none were ready for what shot out of the bushes.
"YeeEEEEE!" a shriek heralded a small bolt of silver and blue, moving far too fast for any normal sparkling, and which promptly attached itself to Havoc's chestpiece.
"Whoa!" Havoc started, looking down.
"Turn around, I'll shoot it!" Ironhide yelled.
"Wait! It might be friendly!" Ratchet jumped in front of the trigger happy mech. Havoc took a moment to catch his processor, then blinked, noting that the thing... whatever it was, appeared to be shivering, and not attacking him.
"What in the universe?" he grunted, reaching up and prying the bitty bot loose. "Who are you?"
"FWEND!" the tiny thing shrieked, flailing like mad in the big mech's grasp. "I fwend! You fwend! We fweeeeend!"
"I think it wants to be our friend," Ironhide smirked.
"Well, it has no badge... but what is it?" Ratchet frowned and moved forward, though it was still flailing to much to be properly assessed.
"Be still!" Havoc squeezed gently, not enough to hurt it, but to let it know he meant business. Almost at once the tiny bot went still, revealing a strange and bobble-like build. His head was a mite too large for his stocky, smooth body, and his eyes were comically large.
"Ratchet?" Havoc appealed to the medical bot, who blinked.
"Don't ask me. I've never seen anything like him," he said. "Who are you?"
"I Ironhidez!" the bitty thing jibbered, and promptly started flailing again.
"What?!" Ironhide hurried over, then scowled. "Annoying little glitch. No way he's-"
"PUMMEDOWNORIBLASTYOU! IBLASTYOUWIFFMYCANNONS!" The tiny thing shrieked. Ratchet and Havoc exchanged looks as the silver and gold mech but him down.
"Oh come on!" Ironhide protested. "He looks nothing like me! It's a coincidence."
"It brings up a good point though. What are you, Ironhide?" Ratchet knelt down. The tiny mech started, then shrieked again and leapt onto Havoc, crawling up him and running around. Havoc started, then grunted, trying to catch it.
"Come- here- blasted- runt!" the giant mech growled, twisting around.
"EEEEEEE!" the little Ironhide shrieked, continuing his marathon.
"It's wires are crossed," Ironhide snickered.
"Yer wires are crossed!" the little Ironhide yelled, but made the mistake of stopping to shout his comeback. Havoc snatched him off his back.
"What are you?" he growled. Little Ironhide gasped, then wiggled.
"I Chibi! I CHIBI!" it yelled.
"What... what is a Chibi?" Havoc blinked, frowning.
"I have no idea," Ratchet said, shaking his head. "Chibi, where are we? Is this on earth?"
"Chibichibichibichibichibichibi!"
"Ironhide!" Havoc let out a slightly frustrated bark.
"What?" both mechs looked at him, then at eachother. Big scowled at little, and little giggled.
"Where are we?" Havoc questioned the little one.
"Nexus!" the Chibi said, starting. "I Chibi in the Nexus!"
"Nexus?" the other bots looked around.
"World between worlds," Ratchet said thoughtfully, then looked around. "We should find a way to get home.
"No home no go! We gone," the Chibi said, optics huge. "You never go home no more! I be here years of years of years!"
"That ain't great," the bigger Ironhide frowned. "But it explains why this thing's off his processor."
"Surely there must be a way out of here," Havoc frowned, looking around. "Perhaps we should scout the area?"
"Sounds like a plan. Ratchet and I will head out, one way, you and the Chibi the other," Ironhide decided.
"Wait a nanoclick, why am I stuck with this thing?" Havoc stared.
"Well, it seems stuck to you," Ratchet observed. Havoc blinked, then scowled. "We can ask him, if you like."
"I BE WITH BIG GRUMPY!" the little Ironhide shrieked. Havoc flinched, then pried the little mech off his helmet.
"Fine," he said, turning and stalking off.
"NO!" All the mechs started and looked over at the little bot, who pointed. "We go that way!"
Ratchet and Ironhide snickered, turning and heading out. Havoc frowned at the little Ironhide. "You have to stop yelling in my audio receptors, alright?"
"Yessir I promisesir GimmyChibiword!" the tiny bot clambered onto his shoulder and stared at him.
"What?" Havoc asked uneasily.
"Wegonnabebestfwend FREVER!" The little Ironhide squealed.
"You know, I already have a friend named Ironhide, so-" Havoc stopped abruptly as the Chibi looked at him with giant, fretting eyes, then let out a squealing sob that pierced Havoc's processor and showed no sign of letting up. "Alright, alright! We will be friends!"
Ironhide stopped abruptly, then beamed and latched onto him with a hug. "I wuff you, Glitterbutt."
"Havoc."
"Glitterbutt!!"
"Havoc."
"GLITTERBUTT!"
Havoc sighed, thinking about just squishing the little Chibi, then started when he heard his friends started yelling in the distance. "What is all that about? Are the ok?"
"They walked into the swamp hills! They'll roll all about in the gook!" Little Ironhide laughed maniacally.
"But that was the way you sent them," Havoc blinked. The Chibi got a mischievous look on his face, then hugged him.
"Because you my friend! And 'cause the black Dumbbutt pointed his cannon at me!"
Havoc blink, then huffed slightly in amusement, chuckling and shaking his head. "You are a schemer," he said. "Let's go find a way home." The tiny mech squealed in excitement and latched on as Havoc took off, disappearing into the jungle.
"GET DOWN!" Havoc roared, swinging his cannon around and aiming it at Ironhide, who ducked just as he let loose. The Decepticon that had been swooping down at them screamed as the cannonfire hit him. Havoc smiled, satisfied as he stood.
