unwilling prey fic idea. (One that works best in the 3rd person :> ) A group of human trying to steal while team wasn't in the base for a mission. Ratchet finds them all, catches the closest human, eats them, scares the living crap out of the other humans who scurry and hide anywhere they can to (MAYBE because they think Ratchet's purpose was to nourish himself off their meat) no avail as Ratchet finds every single one of the humans and eats them. (What happens next is free for you to decide!) ((I suggested Ratchet, but it can be anyone, really! If you feel uncomfortable with anything I mentioned above, feel free to change!))
Everything not bolted down
Using a moment when all autobots were on mission, a group of trouble seeking humans quickly snuck in to base. Yes, the war between two faction is no longer a secret, becoming a world wide issue for government to deal while some humans sought out profit, selling guns or try to steal parts from dead bot they can get their hands on. Right now there was a tip of about the base of autobots being located in this area and this group humans could not pass the opportunity. Pulling up to the base, they all got out of their trucks, cutting tools in hand, sneaking in to base and begun walking all over, trying to get anything that was not bolted down.
Hearing commotion, quiet, but loud enough for him to hear, Ratchet put down his tools he was cleaning up, getting ready for bots that would return wounded, surprised to hear anything at all. All humans under their protection were either in schools or work, so this was not right and to drop it on sounds from the ship was absurd. So someone was at the base, some one uninvited. Groaning, bot left his room, listening closely to the noise and sniffing the air. Group of three natives sneaking around and with what he can hear a faint cutting sound. Oh pit no! Running, he followed the noise, slowing down by huge room and sneaking to not scare humans in mid act, need to catch them in action. Carefully glancing over the corner, med bot let out a loud rev as he saw humans steal the stupidest of things imaginable – part of table, quickly stopping in their track and turning around at loud noise eyes wide and immediately running for their life. Oh hell no! With a loud siren, he ran after the slowest one, still pulling behind him a slab of table, to greedy to give up, gaining quickly on him and snatching human up, them squealing loudly and swearing him out.
“They got Dave!!!” sliding on metal floor at sharp turn, Bob stared with shock, worry and fear as huge metal bot easily caught up to the youngest of their group, poor lad not able to catch up to the rest as he refused to let go of precious metal. The huge red and white bot easily caught up to the lad, wrapping his huge palm around the kid and quickly lifting him of the ground, kicking and screaming. The rest of the group had no idea what to do, hoping that kid wont be hurt, but who knows. The giant robot stared at the kid, who by now dropped the bag of metal and was punching the hand of the bot, screaming and swearing while the bot just stared. Then he was suddenly lifted up, the bot changing to hold by the back of his clothes, poor young man instantly grabbing on for his collar to keep his neck from being strangled, furious anger replaced by confusion as he was lifted higher and higher, just above metal head. The metal humanoid then licked his lips and opened its jaws, dropping the human in to every ones horror. It didn’t even took the robot a seconds to gulp human down, visible distortion moving down its neck and then it turned to them. “Oh God, it ate ‘im!!!” screaming on top of his lungs Bob bolted first, the rest of three man crew close behind, dropping everything they had just to get away.
Gulping first human down, Ratchet quickly turned his attention on the rest of three men crew, groaning to him self. Right, this will be hard of they split up, which he fears might happen, opening panel on the wall and pressing a button, activating lock up protocol, main entrance and every vents closing down, cutting any escape routes for humans, rumbling deeply with excitement for a hunt. It is boring sometimes to seat in his med bay, constantly fixing bots, getting fed up with Wheeljack constant visits, so maybe a bit of action is a nice treat. Licking his intake, feeling first human he caught wriggle like crazy in his tank, medbot begun his hunt. As he suspected the rest of the group split, running different ways – more fun for him. Following fain trail of second human, bot kept sniffing the air, and listening closely to any noise, coming in to Prowls office. This law obsessed maniac really needs to get a proper rest and maybe clear his table up, which now served as a hiding spot to a human, that attempted to hide its presence with mouth covered, but still loud enough for him. Staying quiet, bot snuck up to the spot and quickly grabbed the human, them screaming and kicking. Opening his intake, he shoved human in, tilting his helm, savouring the flavour just for a moment before sending him down with few strong gulps, letting satisfied rumble when human joined their partner in crime and moving more wildly, riling the previous human up and sending pleasant chills down bots spine, rumble growing deeper. Now for the last human... maybe he can toy with this one a bit, make then squirm more.
Running for his life, Joe slid on metal ground, scattering up to his feet as he ran in this endless maze of hallways, looking for the escape. The main gate they all came through was now locked with huge metal slab and no matter how much he banged on the door, it didn’t budged at all, forcing him to look for another way out. Came here to get some metal to sell it in scrap yard so that they all can pay for their moms medical bill, knowing just how much this otherworldly metal goes for. They thought all bots be out, fighting, but no, there was someone left behind and now this robot ate Dave. Had no idea that bots needed meat so this is scary. If he gets out he needs to warn others about flesh eating bots. Sliding on another ground, he stopped, listening to every thing around him, the echo of his own heart deafening him, gulping air hungrily. Looking around with fear, he looked for a spot he can hide in or a hole to squeeze and get out of this wretched place. So far, everything he tried was locked up and he has no idea were to go now. Hearing thunderous footsteps, man panicked and ran again. He ran in to a room with huge table and big shelf, seeing small enough hole to squeeze in, running for it and squeezed him self in, praying to god that this thing wont find him. It took a few minutes for the bot to slowly walk in to this place, its footsteps heavy and sounds of steam hissing in the air, making man squeeze him self further in to the hole and try to force him self to calm down, even if his heart was loud as drums. He can hear the bot wonder about, moving things, thumping things.
“Come on, human, come out from where ever you are and you wont be in much trouble, promise.” The voice was stern and firm, reminding Joe of his dad when he would scold him and his brothers for something stupid “Breaking in to base, trying to steal. That is not such a good behaviour” the voice grew closer and Joe went still, eye peeled on opening, swallowing nervous lump in his throat. It went to quiet all of a sudden, stillness hung in air like deadly poison, man fearing that it found him, fearing that it can hear his heartbeat. All of a sudden a sound of footstep begun moving away from his hiding spot, letting men sigh with relief, slumping down a bit, calming down. Right, best to find a way out. Shuffling forward, Joe climbed out, leaning on his knees to catch some breath, eyes down... that’s a to dark shadow huh. Before he can react, red metal fingers quickly wrapped around him, sending his heart to his heels and scream scratching his throat as ground beneath his feet disappeared. This thing tricked him, made him believe it left in reality it was here all along. “Nice hiding spot, but I cant exactly let you go. Stealing from base is not a good behaviour" he was being lifted higher and higher, can see the face just below him, soft smile on strange metal face. “Can’t leave you just like that"
“Don’t eat me! Please! I ain’t gonna tell anyone” the man yelled, kicking as hard as he can “Please! I’ll stay quiet"
“What fun in it" the bot smiled wide, showing of the metal teeth. Opening his jaws, Ratchet dropped human in, snapping his intake shut and keeping human inside for a moment, feeling them struggle before he swallowed them down, putting a servo on his neck to feel them slide quickly down and join others. Well maybe he over did it, error popping in to his view, which he dismissed quickly, placing servo on his torso where fuel tank was, bringing another servo to his intake and letting out a huff. The movement inside his intake was still wild, but with how much space there was now, it was harder for humans to move freely. Flexing his tank a bit, he made sure to take more space away, letting a pleased sigh as faint pain subside and humans were forced to not move as much as they could. Letting out another sigh, bot headed in to his medbay, returning to his work.
Coming back to base, Optimus was a bit shocked to see a strange civilian car outside the base, not recognizing it at all. Going in he can smell faint trails of humans, not his, different, which shocked him a lot. Letting his team rest after fight and wanting to find out who broke in to base. The smell was faint but he can trail it just fine and was lead in to medbay, where he found Ratchet on the same medberth he saw others on, red and white bot laying on his back, servo on his fuel tank, letting out groans. Right, found the humans.
