More Murphy's Laws...

[yami_samuraiflo]

What can I say? Murphy's Laws are fun, except when you're on the receiving end.

Characters: Gears, Dinobots.
Summary: He was going to die...

7. Murphy’s Law of War: You have two mortal enemies in combat, the opposing side and your own rear services...

 

He was going to die. He just knew it. If Decepticons didn’t kill him, they would.

 

Why, oh why did Prime choose them to form the rear of the convoy? Why? And why did he had to be assigned there as well? Not that he wanted to be in the front; the Twins were there, and they weren’t very kind to the Minibots.

 

But the Twins seemed a better choice each passing second, especially next to these mechs. Not that he hated them or anything. When they listened, they could be... well... nice enough. But right now, as a battle was nearing, he wished he could get away from them, or at least ignore them.

 

If only they weren’t trying to ease his uneasiness...

 

“You punny Autobot no worry; we Dinobots will be careful,” said the thunderous voice of Grimlock.

“We not going to step on you by mistake,” added the voice of Slag, next to his leader.

 

Did that mean they would step on him anyway, but with intend instead? He glanced at the enormous mechs and felt his Spark skip a beat when he saw the grins adorning the Dinobots’ faces.

 

Gears moaned and send a quick prayer to Primus. If he was lucky, his death would be mostly painless...

 

Too bad for him he was hardly ever lucky...

Characters: Skywarp, Thundercracker.
Summary: Beware a bored Skywarp... and angered Constructicons.

8. Murphy’s Law of War: C-4 can make a dull day fun...

 

Thundercracker stood in front of his (best) friend, arms crossed over his chest, face full of disbelief.

 

“C-4? You actually used that primitive explosive? Skywarp, I knew you were bored, but still...”

“Hey, you never made a big deal out of it before.” The black jet pouted. “In fact, you laughed with me the last time!”

“Skywarp, there is a big difference between using C-4 on Autobots and using C-4 on random part of our base!”

“But I was bored,” whined Skywarp. “Beside, Scrapper and co can easily repair everything.”

“That’s hardly an excuse,” groaned his friend. “And sadly, I’m afraid you just angered the wrong people. And I’m not talking about Megatron and Starscream who, as you may guess, aren’t happy with the culprit.”

“Huh?” was the very intelligent answer of the other jet.

 

Thundercracker shook his head with sadness. “You know the Constructicons are going to murder you in a very painful and messy way and probably not in your sleep since they will probably want to make an example out of you?”

 

Skywarp grinned madly. “They will have to know it was me first. Rumble and Frenzy are suspects too. And Swindle, since he’s usually the one who gets this stuff onto the base anyway.”

“Warp,” sighed the blue jet. “I hate asking you this but... did you shut down the cameras before you used the explosives?”

 

Skywarp’s grin faltered. “Ah... Well... I... I think I will go now.”

“Right. You do that,” his friend agreed, nodding. “And I’ll try to calm them down before they corner you somewhere to dismantle your chassis.”
