"Ah Chase, thank you for picking up the parcel." Doc Greene said, handing the mech a brown paper bag.

"No problem, Doctor. Chief is busy at the moment, so I shall take his place for this short delivery." Chase nodded and transformered into his vehicle mode. "Fret not, I will avoid all and every human contact." Chase promised and drove away, taking care of noticed by humans.

"Just to make certain..." The mech said to himself and activated his holoform, driving down the winding road back to base.

"In approximately 12 and a half minutes, I shall arrive to base. Perhaps I should take a shorter route to shorten the time..." Chase murmured and turned into a dark alley, driving down the unoccupied area. His frame jumped up and down due to the uneven grounding and he sighed.

"Such unruly pathway. I must contact Chief about this. We cannot allow such disregard for road maintenance to be put off." he noted.

The vibration cause the item at the back seat tipped and activated, but Chase was still busy on the road to notice it.

By the time his behind was glowing, it was already too late.

"S-Scrap!" the mech yelped as he felt his body being sucked into a black hole and he disappeared, leaving nothing but his tire tracks at the scene.

Tumbling through the swirling vortex, the police bot groaned as he unceremoniously crashed in front of a...police station.

"What in the..."he rubbed the back of his helm, not realising that he had reverted into biped mode.

"C-Chase!?" Blades's voice rang out clear as day, making the blue and white mech stared up at the shocked helicopter. Behind the astonished mech, his familiar crews were behind him... With UNKNOWN human associations.

Stiffening up, the mech activated his visor and pretended to be monotonous as to not blow his cover. "I-am- Chase- the- police-bot-"

"Chase?! W-What...?" Heatwave rubbed his optics, not believing what he was seeing. "What the hell are you doing?!"

Seeing how natural his leader was around these humans, Chase relaxed a little. "I am...undercover? We are not supposed to reveal ourselves to the humans." he said.

"What are you talking about?" Miko asked, tilting her head up. "We've known you guys since day one!"

"Incognito doesn't work at all, remember? We're supposed to be living together with the humans and learn from them, not hiding in disguise of...whatever you're doing." Heatwave grunted.

"GUYS! WE ARE MISSING THE WHOLE POINT!!" Jack yelled, starting the crew. "HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!"

"I...do not follow? They are my team members. I am a fellow rescue bot member too, young citizen." Chase said, feeling a pang of uneasiness inside his tanks.

The team stared at the mech with disbelief, not understanding the situation either. Blades stepped out first, optics brimming with coolants as he tackled the mech and sobbed into his arms, breaking down before him.

"I don't care! This is our Chase and we're keeping him!"

"Blades, snap out of it! It's not him!" Heatwave growled, yanking away his friend. Glaring at the innocent mech, the firetruck spilled the truth.

"Chase died in mission. This isn't ours; it's an impostor."

___

"D-Died!?" Chase raised his voice and patted his chassis, panicking a little. "I-I don't understand! I need to speak to Chief!"

"Who's Chief?" Raf asked, pushing his glasses up. Behind him, Bumblebee buzzed the same question too.

"You mean the boss bot, Optimus?" Bulkhead offered, jabbing at the red and blue mech behind them.

"Optimus...?" Chase stepped back, getting more confused of this weird timeline. "B-But aren't you supposed to be on mainland?"

"I do not follow?" Optimus replied, watching the mech carefully. "You seemed... different than the Chase we know."

"I believe I must have... Time travelled?" Chase said and picked out the broken item from his cabin. "This parcel from Doc Greene glowed and the next thing I knew, I was transported here."

"Did he say Doc Greene?!" Frankie busted out from Smokescreen's side, staring up at the police bot with water in her eyes. "You know me, don't you!?"

"Yes. You are Francine Greene, or as you would like me to call you, Frankie." Chase replied. The small girl gasped as she started to cry too, making the mech felt even awkward at the situation.

"W-Where's - what- where's my daddy?" she sobbed into Miko's chest.

"I-I- He's at the lab?" Chase tried to answer.

"What lab? There's no lab in Griffin Rock." Boulders said.

"Okay, so we're still in Griffin Rock..." Chase said to himself, placing a digit to his chin. "I am sorry for this....sudden uproar, but I need to get back to my own realm. I do not...belong here." he said, dimming his optics at the last part. "You have my condolences for...my alternate self's death."

"Who's this Chief you were mentioning earlier?" Ratchet gruffedly spoke.

"Chief Charlie Burns, of course. He is the Head police in the island, working together with his four kids and my crew, the Rescue Bots of Sigma Seventeen."

.

"CHARLIE BURNS?!" All of them yelled.

"HE IS ANYTHING BUT A GOOD MAN AND I GOT THEM SCARS TO PROVE IT!" Agent Fowler yelled.

"HE'S THE REASON MY DAD IS MIA!" Frankie said in anguish.

"He's the cause of your death..." Blades weeped, wiping his yellow optics.

Chase gulped as he quietly took in the scene. Gripping his servos into a fist, he hesitantly asked the crew another question.

"Does he have a family here?"

"Yes, but only one-"

"It's Cody, isn't it?!" Chase cut the Prime off, dropping his usual calm demeanour. The poor fellow couldn't accept the fact that his partner was a murderer, a bad guy.

He could accept Charlie being a janitor because that man was still a good guy.

But this... This is wrong.

This isn't right.

"Yes." Optimus confirmed, blue optics soft and caring, contrasting with the freaking out mech before him. "Easy Chase, we will try our best to get you home."

"No offence sir, but what if he's an impostor? A liar? A mech created by Doctor Morocco?" Heatwave asked, still eyeing at Chase.

"Oh, he's bad in this realm too." Chase noted out loud, earning a snort from Arcee.

"Well, when is he ever not? Giving us quite the helmache, I swear to Primus." she sighed.

"Is Chief-I mean- Charlie, working with him?" Chase questioned, furrowing his optic ridges at the team.

Fortunately, the responds were negative.

"No. He's more of a... Cat burglar. He likes to steal stuff, pretty much." Agent Fowler said. "But I've gotta admit, that man is spry for his age, getting away from our hands like a slippery eel every bloody time."

"I see..." Chase replied, looking down at the asphalt ground. They were still outside of the police station after all.

Before the time-traveller could raise another question, an alarm blared from the station. Raf typed something on his computer before pushing up his glasses, staring at the team grimly.

"The bank has been robbed."

---

Chase's Energon went cold as he sped off, chasing after the only source of his familiarity. He didn't know why or how, but he felt as if he needed to see the man was as bad as the team had perceived him to be.

"I can only pray that Griffin Rock's map is similar to ours." Chase growled, putting metal to the petal. He had left the team in the dust, running off to the Griffin Rock Bank.

Lucky for him, the roads were the same as his realm and he arrived at the location just in time to see the man he was looking for.

Donned in dark blue and white suit(which briefly reminded Chase of Dani's suit), Charlie Burns was sprinting down the alley and away from human's sight.

Clicking his glossa, Chase floor the gas and chased after him, not wanting to loose sight.

Charlie, sensing someone was behind him, turned around only to jump aside as Chase drifted and faced in front of him, blocking his path.

"Charlie!" Chase yelled but stayed in vehicle mode.

The aging thief widened his eyes as his mind clicked with familiarity of the voice. "C-Chase?!" his voice quivered as he took a step back, dropping the sack of money on the ground.

Behind him, the team's siren came closer.

"Y-You're...alive?" Charlie stuttered, shaky hands grazing onto the car door. Chase tensed up for a moment, feeling bad for the man before him.

"DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!"

Chase daydreaming was brutally cut short when Heatwave's voice came though the alley. Turning his rear mirrors to see the ashen-face Charlie, Chase went soft.

With a growl, the mech decided to break his code.

"Get in." he said, tone eerily deep. Charlie didn't think twice and dove in, letting the fast police car to drive away.

"WHAT THE FRAG!? CHASE!" Heatwave yelled, watching the alternate reality friend of his scampered away, Charlie Burns in tow.

"Guys! He's with Charlie! He's gotten away!" Heatwave yelled through the comms. Glaring at the now empty alley, Heatwave transformed and balled his servos, gritting his teeth with resentment.

"We'll find you. Both of you."

English, An Interesting Language Part 2

A/N: EGWEGKJNRGKJEN PART TWO IS HEREEEEE

UWU WE HAVE LOADS OF CHAOTICNESS IN THIS, WELCOME AND PLEASE ENJOY~

SUGGESTIVE? UH-DUHHHH!! XDXD

ONCE AGAIN I SHALL REPEAT, WE HAVE BOTH CHCH AND HEATBLADES IN THIS SHHSHSHSHSHSH

---

Three days after the…exciting commotion in the garage, Dani decided to add fuel to the fire and called EVERYONE down to the bunker.

.

.

.

.

Yes, she has found the book.

ONLY took her THREE DAYS.

Back to the story...

“GUYS, GUYS, GUYS! JUST COME DOWN ALREADY! I’VE GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW Y’ALL!!” She demanded, dragging Kade with her left arm while tugging Graham’s collar with her right. Charlie and Cody could merely sigh in relentment as the father-son duo watched the only girl in the their family SINGLE-HANDLEDLY take down two of the Burns’s sons.

“HEY, LET M-ME GO-HURKK!!”

“OW OW OW- DANI!!”

“HURRY ALONG ALREADY!!’ She huffed and dropped the two adults inside the elevator.

“Sis, you forgot the main point.” Cody gave an awkward smile, holding up a brown book for the sister to see.

“Oh, dear me! Can’t have this left behind now, can we?” she ushered them in and pressed the button, closing the elevator doors.

“And why, EXACTLY, must WE tag along? I was busy chatting with Hayley, damn it!” Kade grumbled, resorting to take a seat on the ground.

“I was solving a complicated equation and I nearly had it!!” Graham chimed in, frowning at his sister.

“Another word from the both of you and I’ll not hesitate to use MORE force.” Dani smiled sweetly sick at the two paling brothers.

Gulping, Kade and Graham nodded frantically, fearing for their lives.

Without another word, they reached the bottom and Dani came out first, leaving them behind as she called the Bots over.

“Hey guys! Care to spare a minute?” she asked, waving at her partner, Blades.

“Aww man! is it our turn to do air patrol?” Blades timidly asked, yellow optics portraying his reluctancy. “I thought we covered it…two weeks ago?”

“No, silly!” Dani giggled, making the helicopter relax a little. “I found the book!” she announced and took the book over from Cody.

“What book?” Heatwave gruffly spoke, raising an optic ridge.

“Dani, I don’t think-”

Charlie Burns kept his mouth shut when he saw the intense glare sent to his direction by the female pilot.

“What are we waiting for then? Let’s have a look!” Blades exclaimed, picking the tiny brown item up and opened a page. “Uh…okay, maybe not.” He grimaced in disgust.

“What do you mean NO?” Dani said in exasperation, snatching her belongings back.

“It’s filled with unknown phrases!”

“Blades, where have all my knowledge passed down to you gone to!?”

“What knowledge!?”

“Pop culture, genius!”

Blades made an ‘O’ shape with his dermas as he scratched his neck cables, chuckling dryly at the enraged femme.

“Do us a favour then; teach us.” Heatwave came to the rescue and saved the poor mech from a possible earful nagging. He saw the look of gratitude from Blades and felt a sense of pride within him.

“You’re welcome.” Heatwave whispered, earning a flustered smile from the copter-bot.

Eyeing the two bots suspiciously, Dani’s lips formed a knowing smile but she said nothing. Instead, she coughed out loud and drew the attention back to herself again.

“Alright, alright. Let’s start from the beginning.” She gushed. Flipping open the pages, the red-haired girl stopped onto a particular sentence and formed a smirk, confusing the bots and her family likewise.

“What?” Cody asked, seeing that his sister was staring at their father with a weird grin.

“This ain’t it, Chief.” She held back a snort.

“Wow. Really? Ha ha.” Her father replied sarcastically, not getting the joke at all. “Is that supposed to mean something?”

“OH, OH! I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE!” Blades announced loudly, slapping his knees before breaking into a larger grin. “Oh Primus! I made ANOTHER pop culture reference within a pop culture reference!? NO WAY!”

“You did and I’m proud of ya!” Dani winked and gave her partner a high five, earning a collective of groans from behind.

“Seriously? That’s ALL you had to show us?” Kade said impatiently, tapping his feet. “Welp, I’m out.” he threw both of his hands up and left the room with a huff.

“Sorry to break the band, but me and Boulders REALLY need to get some work done. See ya around, sis.” Graham politely excused himself from the group with Boulders tagging along.

“If there’s nothing else, I think I’ll go see Frankie. Bye Dani!” Cody ran off too.

“Dad…” Dani trailed off, giving her father a disheartened look.

“Perhaps we can have a continuation of this later at night, alright?” he patted his daughter’s shoulders and went up, leaving the sadden pilot alone.

.

.

.

.

.

“Tsk. Some wonderful family alright.” Dani tilted her head upwards, somehow not upset of her family leaving in such a hurry as she smiled at her partner.

“Uh…shouldn’t you be disappointed or something?” Blades leaned in, worried for his charge.

“Nope! Why should I?” she gave the mech a thumbs up. “Oh, by the way, you won’t mind if I borrow Heatwave for a moment, do you?”

“Why would I-”

“GREAT!!” Dani clasped her hands together before looking at the fire-truck. “Come on then!!” Sighing, he transformed and opened his door.

“Just get out from here, hurry!” Dani said giddily, buckling her seatbelts on.

“Why-”

“JUST DO IT!”

Groaning, the Rescue Bot leader obliged and drove off, leaving Blades dumbfounded alongside with a blank-faced Chase.

“Huh? That’s weird.” Blades noted, setting a servo on his helm. Chase said nothing and went to a corner, trying to process his thoughts alone.

Ever since the English lesson with Cody went downhill, Charlie has been avoiding him and it irritated the mech to no one. Heck, the aging Burns even drove the OLD police car rather than going on a patrol with him.

To put it simply, Chase is JEALOUS.

Growling, he figured it would be best to talk to the man now.

Activating his holoform, the police-bot strode upstairs with a target in mind; Charlie. Steeling his gaze, the mech-turned-human spotted his partner at the kitchen counter, sipping on his coffee in peace.

Not for long.

Waiting for the right moment, Chase dashed forward and trapped the startled man in between his arms.

“Chase!?” Chief Burns gasped, staring up to meet the mech’s eyes.

Taking away his cup of coffee, Chase narrowed his eyes and leaned in closer, minimising the space in between them.

“What a-are you doing!?” Charlie stuttered, holding his cup with both hands shakily.

“I want an answer, NOW.” Chase’s voice went down an octave at the last part as he glowered at the shuddering male. “Why did you avoid me? Why did you ditch me and used that DAMN old car which CAN’T EVEN FUNCTION PROPERLY!?” He snarled.

Blinking twice, Charlie slowly set his drink down and cupped the mech’s face. “What are you- wait…” the single father furrowed his eyes as he recollected the previous memories before raising an eyebrow at his partner.

“Don’t tell m-me…Y-You’re jealous…?” his words hit the police-bot hard and Chase snapped.

Slamming his servos onto the cupboard above them, Chase used the advantage of Charlie being stunned to grab him and brought the man into his (Charlie’s) room.

“N-NO WAIT-OOF!!!” Charlie felt the wind knocked out from his lungs as he laid on the soft bed, unable to move due to a CERTAIN mech having a death grip on both of his hands.

“How many times do I have to remind you that YOU. ARE. MINE.” Chase growled, straddling on top of Charlie. He went down and nipped the officer’s neck, eliciting soft whimpers from the man.

“Don’t you DARE take that car out without MY permission.” Chase ordered, shifting one hand to hold Charlie down while using his free servo to gently tip his head up. “I don’t like being REPLACED, sir.”

“I-I-I-”

“Ah ah ah! I am NOT quite done yet.” Chase smiled, displaying his sharp fangs for his partner to see. “We’ll call it over when I SAY SO. Understood?” he continued, enjoying the flustered look on Charlie’s face as the old Burns squirmed and struggled in his hold.

“EVERYTHING and ANYTHING you say will be held AGAINST you. With our SHARED experience, you know how I DISLIKE uncooperativeness.”

Without any further warning, Chase closed the gap.

Meanwhile, with Dani and Heatwave…

“Where are we going?!” Heatwave snapped. “I think we’ve left base pretty far enough, so spill it!” the mech said and switched off his engines, forcing Dani to tell the truth. The two were in the middle of Griffin Rock Forest with no one around them per Dani’s request.

“Okay then,” Dani leaned back and crossed her arms in front of her chest, creating an air of authority around her.

“You like Blades.”

“Yes- I MEAN -N-NO!!” Heatwave tried to backtrack, but it was too late; the damage has been done. Seeing the knowing grin on Dani’s face, the annoyed and embarrassed mech tried not to cave in.

“Maybe. A little. More average than normal. GAH- FINE!! I DO, OKAY!?” He relented.

“Good. Because if you didn’t then this would be useless for you.” Dani shrugged nonchalantly, not at all bothered of the mech’s tantrum.

“Huh?” That got Heatwave’s interest piqued. “What are you talking about?”

“Oh, nothing much. Just some…ways to get the guy you like who JUST so happens to be MY partner, AKA we share some PRETTY nice details you’d like to know.” Dani slyly remarked.

“And WHY are you helping ME?”

“Because Dad’s too dumb and Chase is too innocent, so I need ONE man to do this job properly or I’m going to go berserk with all the tension in our base!”

(Chase may seem slow in understanding human culture but he SURE AIN’T ALL PURE AND VANILLA when it comes to Chief.)

Sighing, the mech let the femme out and transformed into his biped mode, turning his attention solely to Dani.

“What do you have in mind?”

---

TIMESKIP.

The two finally arrived back at base after a hefty conversation. With an encouraging smile, Dani winked at Heatwave and went upstairs, leaving Heatwave to deal with his…crew member.

“Heatwave! What took you and Dani so long?” Blades whined; his wings drooped low to the floor. The red mech fought all of his urges to reply and kept silent, choosing to settle in a corner to ‘brood’.

The memory of Dani’s teaching replayed in his mind freshly as he tried to focus. Composing himself, the mech took a deep intake as he felt a certain air-borne mech coming closer to his side.

“Heatwave!” Blades repeated, calling after his name again. “Are you ignoring me?” he asked.

The mech in question was still silent.

“I-Is it because I-I didn’t cooperate too well on our last mission? I swear, I wanted you to hold the grappling hook, not Chase! O-Or is it because I d-didn’t report to you y-yesterday? M-Me and Dani went out and returned late night! Wait, I believe you’re mad because-” Blades’s ramblings didn’t cease; just as foretold by Dani.

“When he starts yapping off, you inch closer.” Dani explained, making tiny hand gestures.

“And then?”

“That’s when you slowly set a servo on his shoulders AND,” Dani squealed out loud. “-Give him your award-winning smile AND tell him you did a good job!”

“…” Heatwave gave the swooning lady a blank stare.

“What?”

“T-That’s it?” he muttered, not at all getting the point of this. “How’s THAT going to get Blades to…fall for me?”

“Oh, don’t worry! Just do as I say, and the rest SHOULD come naturally for you!” she gave him a thumbs up.

“UH-HELLO!? EARTH TO HEATWAVE!?”

Snapping back to reality, Heatwave shook his helm and noticed Blades was tip-toeing, leaning in close as the yellow mech tried to get his attention.

“You spaced off for a moment there. Are you still m-mad at me?” Blades twiddled his digits together and looked at the fire truck with the saddest pout he could conjure.

“The rest should come naturally for you.”

Dani’s words rang in Heatwave’s processors as he grabbed Blades by the waist and pulled him in, locking dermas with the shocked mech.

Smirking, Heatwave casted a mischievous grin onto Blades.

“I am, indeed, mad.” He began, taking a step closer and dipped his helm lower, slightly bowing down at the helicopter.

“I’m mad ABOUT you.” he whispered, sending shivers down his target’s backstruts. “Infatuated and adoration doesn’t even measure up to what I’m experiencing when I’m with you. For that, I am furious; furious at how you got me intwined in your hands.” His optics dimmed.

“Perhaps I should remind you of one IMPORTANT thing, Blades; I’M in charge HERE.”

The leader of the Rescue Bot made a mental note to thank Dani for the tip as he went ahead, his body going on by its own as if it knew what to do from the start.

“And you’re my RESPONSIBILITY.”
