Getting to Know the Environment.
So I wrote like 4 chapters after this one already and OMG. Those last two chapters. I think I lost a few years of my life while writing them. (In a good way though.)
Anyways, enjoy!~
The nights were freezing, and the days were cold. The Autobots were in a land of pure white where they got stuck in the snow, dirtied from the sludge and constantly battled with the elements.
Some, more than others.
{:Blurr. Report to the medbay:} Ratchet commed.
Blurr was curently watching his sparkling in the hanger with Annabell, Lennox and Epps. They were all drinking hot chocolate that Sarah made earlier.
It was amusing to the Elite Guard that they needed so much clothing just to stay warm.
Mearing was tasked to get Lily clothes but Blurr enjoyed picking out her outfits. With the help of Jazz and the twins of course. Bumblebee has gotten into Lily's daily life, keeping her entertained when her Terror brothers and uncles could not. Usually the two of them would play games until Ratchet ordered them to do something more stimulating for the mind.
Optimus has grown more attached to her as well and to Blurr. One day the three of them enjoyed a stroll around the base, talking about old times until Lily had to go in and get warmed up.
Today however, was looking to be different.
~~~
"It's a new type of energon I manufactured for you." Wheeljack stated proudly. "It'll keep your systems from crashing and your energon reserves won't freeze over."
Blurr gave Ratchet a look that said, 'you approve?'
"Pfft. Of course, I made sure it wouldn't blow up. Only an amateur would screw something as simple as-" Blurr didn't listen to the medic and inventors spat, rather he took the cube and walked back out into the hanger.
"Blurr!" Lily called from a certain bots shoulder. "Do you want to play?"
"Play what?"
"Only the most epic snowball fight of all time!" Annabell said from Ironhides shoulder. "Hiddy Hide calles it... uhhh, what did you call it again?"
"Knowing your environment and dodging slag attacks." Optimus sent him a glare from the language.
"You're going to play, right Blurr?" Lily asked.
He couldn't say no, especially to that face. "Of course." He smiled.
~~~~
"All right bots. The rules are simple." Ironhide stated from in between the two teams. "No weapons but the snow and no dirty play. Blurr." The weapons specialist pointed to the Elite Guard. "No speed."
"Awwww Hide, you're killing our secret weapon!" Sideswipe whined.
"Shut it. We don't need his speed to win." Sunny growled. Hating this idea with a burning passion.
On one team was Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Jazz.
The other, Blurr, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
On the side lines stood Ratchet, Ironhide and Optimus to make sure everyone played fair as the humans gathered to watched as well. The silent Jolt, was on stand by, nice incase something got out of hand.
(Yas, I remembered Jolt this time.)
"Begin!"
~~~
Blurr and the twins hid behind the trees, drove out of the base's perimeter.
"All right. What's the plan?" Sides asked.
"Attack and destroy."
"They'll throw snow at us if we charge head on stupid."
"Don't call me stupid!"
"Guys!" Blurr snapped his didgets to get their attention. "I'll be the distraction. I'm the most flexible and more agile than you guys."
"Ha, you only think you are." Sides winked.
Blurr rolled his optics. "Alright, we fan out. I'll charge and we'll...." Blurr didn't like giving orders and trying to give some to frontliners.... impossible. "Do what you guys do best, I suppose."
Sideswipe smiled. "Now that's what I'm talking about." Sunny sneared.
~~~~
Jazz, Bee and Wheeljack waited behind a concrete slab for the enemy. It's been an hour and there has been no activity.
"Think they got scared ran away?" Wheeljack asked.
"Naw. If I know the twins, they wouldn't back down from ah fight like this. En Blurr." Jazz laughed, "He's probly the master mind behind what's comin."
The three of them waited, the crowd was growing board and so was Bumblebee.
"Where you going?"
Bee chirped and whirred back, shrugging his shoulder.
Jazz, watching intently from the saftey of the barricade and suddenly shouted. "Watch out!"
A tree was sent hurtling towards them nearly hitting the yellow scout.
Jazz got up, rolling a servo full of snow and looking into the direction the giant plant came from. "In comin!" Wheeljack jumped into action, running towards their enemy, who was none of than Blurr.
Even without using his speed, he was still faster than the average Cybertronian, and to Jazz, he looked intimidating. Shaking thoughs thoughts, he threw the snow balls at Blurr but they only missed his form.
Wheeljack struck a servo out towards Blurr's helm, but he nimbly evaded it, kicking the Wreckers peds out form under him and continued on his path, gathering snow from the ground as he ran.
"Go Blurr, go!" Lily yelled from Optimus's shoulder. The NEST crowd cheering and shouting.
Bee ran forth with snow balls and chucked them at the speedster hitting him on his protoform as did Blurr to Bee.
Jazz watched the scene play out, Wheeljack getting up and readying himself to attack from behind.
"Wait a minute." Behind. The twins!
Jazz turned but it was to late. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker had what seemed like thousands of snowballs and pelted them at the SIC.
"Jazz, your out." Ironhide said from the side lines. "They're not doing to bad for younglings."
"Indeed, but Bumblebee and Wheeljack are still in play. They knew Jazz was the strongest point strategically but the strongest physically, is another challenge all by its self." The Autobot leader countered.
Blurr was dodging fist and snowballs to the best of his ability, now doubt Hide was keeping total of all the places he was being his at.
{:Get wheeljack!:}
{:You're so bossy :} Sideswipe snickered back.
Blurr kicked snow into Bumblebee's optics but a miscalculated step on his part made him crash to the ground. Bumblebee, seeing this, took his own ped and shoved a good amount of snow onto Blurr.
"Blurr you're- no weapons!" Ironhide roared forgetting Bumblebee and Blurr's little snowball fight. "Primus, their nothing more than sparklings."
Blurr looked behind him to see Wheeljack holding his own against the twins with all their swords clashing on each other.
Sudden memories popped up. Ones where he was still fresh at the Academy, when Wheeljack taught him how to use sabers after he resuced him.
Blurr wanted to join, his energon running hot. Quickly he got up, fashioning his energon sword and used his speed to flash behind one of the twins to strike, but their split spark and strong bond blocked his attack. Blurr did it again, circling around trying to pick out a weak spot and then attack while Wheeljack took the brunt of the hits.
"It seems as though your training lesson didn't go as planned." Ratchet mused.
"No, but at least they're training in some shape or form."
Lily ignored their conversation. She was captivated by the four Autobots who were almost dancing, limbs bending and bodies twisting. Is was truly beautiful to her. And the snow that flew up from every swing of the sword, every step and every flash of Blurr's speed, made it that much more Godlike. They all were in sync with each other; it almost seemed impossible.
But Lily shivered everytime she was able to get a glance at her sire before he dissapeared again. His power and utter concentration when fighting, frightened her with amazement and awe.
All things had to come to an end though, especially this sparing match. If it wasn't ended soon, there would've been injuries.
Jolt was ordered to stun them, halting their actions and sending them crashing to the ground in an unmoving heap.
Everyone started to walk back into the hanger to get warm. "Wait, what about them?" Lily asked
"They'll be fine." Ratchet insisted.
Lily was placed on the ground with Annabell and together they ran outside to make a snow man.
"Your dad is cool" Annabell suddenly said, making Lily stop.
"Y-yeah. He is, isn't he."She smiled ear to ear.
~~~~
After the spar died down, Optimus walked into his chambers, opening the door and stepping inside. However he wasn't planning on the large amount of snow now on his form, falling onto his rooms floor.
Calmly he pressed two didgets to the side of his helm. "Sideswipe..... Sunstreaker.... meet me in my office if you would."
Boom. There's your mini snow ball fight. Alright, ONWARDS with the story plot.
