The Elementals-TFP Story

Get to Know Your Con

   All eight of the Decepticons were on the bridge, their new charges on the floor introducing themselves. Carmel was translating through Ravage, who typed her words onto a data pad, the stuffed cat was placed on her head, Azar was yelling at Knockout and Breakdown, Gaia was trying to keep her calm, Zephyr was talking with Carmel and Aydin, and Ailana and Cronan were talking to Asherah. 

   "Dracu 'de metal prost!" Azar screeched. 

   "Az! Calm down. Calmeaza-te," Gaia purred, holding her back by her shoulders. "And swearing at them in Romanian isn't going to help minunat." 

   "Fine, but don't think for a second that I'm taking my eyes off of either of you two căţelele," Azar snarled, death glaring the two mechs. 

   "Now that you all know each other, let us introduce ourselves," Megatron stated. All eight elementals looked up at him as he knelt down to their level. "I am Lord Megatron."

   "I am Commander Starscream."

   "Dreadwing."

   "Skyquake."

   "Knockout."

   "Breakdown." 

   "Shockwave."

   "Who's the faceless one?" Cronan asked.

   "That is Soundwave, he does not speak," Megatron replied. "And the panther is Ravage, one of his mini-cons. Shockwave, I want you to create some form of armor for them."

   After a few more introductions and explanations, they were all dismissed and brought to their stations. Azar and Gaia were in  the med bay with Knockout and Breakdown. "Alright, now what's this?" Breakdown asked, holding up a book. 

   "That's a book. Humans read them and they are a pain to write. Take it from me, I actually write small creative stories," Gaia replied. 

   "You should read what she's written. Girls got an imagination wilder than Spirit," Azar commented crossing her arms. The two 'Cons glanced at each other, than back at the girls. "It's a movie, I can pirate it online so we can watch it for free."

   "Isn't that illegal?" Knockout pointed out. 

   "So's a lot of things, your point?"

   "Careful, I might start liking you."

   Azar playfully stuck her tongue out at him, earning an eye roll from Gaia. "Alright, so we got the pencil, notebook, pillow, chair, a bag of marbles, and a book so far. Now what in the name of Primus is this?" Breakdown asked, pulling out an instrument.  

   "YOU GUYS RAIDED A MUSIC STORE?!" Gaia screeched happily. 

   "What else is in that crate-box-thingy?!" Azar demanded. Knockout pulled out another instrument causing her to giggle manically. "Give it."

   They handed the instruments over, nervous of losing their digits as the girls snatched them up. The two whispered for a bit about which song to play before settling on one of their favorites (the song above). "You two mind telling us what those things are?" Knockout asked, a twinge of nervousness mixed with curiosity. 

   "The thing Gaia has is called a violin," Azar gestured over to her friend. She then gestured to the thing in front of her. "This thing is called a keyboard."

   The duo got themselves ready and began to play.
