This is the prequel of 'New version of Transformers G1 season three' written by me and MissCHSparkle This is gonna have Really long chapters OK I only own Repo (pronounced Ray-Po) Sonicwave and Whiteflame plus Tonesound the rest belong to HASBRO.
It was a peacenight at the ARK everyone was sleeping or getting on or off the night shift...well one autobot wasn't having a good night. In Wheeljack and Ratchet's shared quarters the chief Medic was tossing a turning in his sleep before shooting up with a gasp.
" no!" He shouted before looking around realizing he was ok and it was just a nightmare..again.
"Ratch?" came a very sleepy voice. "That you?"
"Yeah, it's me," the medic replied tiredly, falling back on his berth, exhaustion weighing him down and making his body and head ache with tiredness. Primus but it had been the same for several nights and it was starting to take it's toll on him, both physically and mentally.
" was it the same dream again?" Wheeljack asked yawning sure he was tired but he couldn't let his friend alone.
" yes and I wish I quit having it" the medic said with a groan.
"So do I," Wheeljack said seriously, yawning again. "You work so hard, you need your recharge."
"I wouldn't have to work so hard if those damn kids didn't keep messing around," Ratchet growled in irritation brought on by his tiredness. "And that's without the damn Cons busting in."
" well the cons have been quiet for awhile and hey they need something to do" the engineer said defending the younger autobots at the end of the sentense.
" well need something that DOESN'T send them to my medbay" Ratchet said crankyly.
"I'm getting sick and tired of patching up 'prank' victims," he said furiously. "And as for the times they decide to prank MY Medbay..."
"Okay, that is going too far," Wheeljack agreed, he knew that really stressed the Medic out. Especially because if there was an emergency and the Medbay was out of action...
"And yet they persist in doing it," growled Ratchet. "I swear I'm going to weld some afts to the ceiling."
" least not denting them" the other autobot mumbled he felt bad for anyone who had the chance of being over the medic's lap.
Ratchet glared at his best friend.
" just saying!" Wheeljack said quickly
"Maybe I should start tanning their hides," Ratchet muttered to himself after giving his friend a glare. "It worked with those damn cassette brats."
" you got a point..you gonna go back to sleep?" The white,green and red mech asked his friends.
" in a bit I'm gonna go get some energon then getting back to recharge" ratchet said getting up and walking out the door.
He headed to the Rec room stretching before bumping into someone " oof! Ow watch it!" He said before seeing it was his brother Ironhide and his nephew Cliffjumper the two just got off a late shift.
"Why you up so late?" Cliffjumper blurted out, he knew that the Medic should be recharging by now.
"Couldn't sleep," Ratchet replied tiredly.
" this is the seventh night in the row you couldn't recharge what's up?" Ironhide asked his brother.
" nothing just stressed now if you two excuse me" the medic said before walking around the two but a red servo grabbed his arm. " Ironhide let go" he growled glaring at the older mech.
"Ratch," Ironhide said in a quiet but serious tone. "Ah can tell something's up. Y'all trying tah bottle it down but yah know what happens when yah can't keep a lid on it no more."
" I don't want to talk about itso drop it ok" ratchet said not looking at his brother taking his arm away from his grip.
Cliffjumper looked at his uncle in worry what was bothering the mech.
"You sure you're okay?" he couldn't help but ask. "Is there anything you could take to sleep?"
Ratchet shook his head.
"If I do that and there's an emergency, it would be a disaster," he stated." there has to be something to help you sleep" the minibot said.
" Cliffjumper don't turn into your sire his worrying is enough for me now you two need me I'm going to get some energon then going to sleep!" The medic said before going into the rec room.
"Ah gotta talk tah Prime about this," Ironhide muttered to himself.
"Ratchet isn't going to like that," Cliffjumper pointed out.
"Ah know but it' got tah be done," his father said red minibot nodded before following the older mech to Prime's office.
When they arrived there they walked in to said office they saw Optimus talking to the Lambo twins about something they weren't gonna ask they had to talk to Optimus about Ratchet.
Optimus saw them and their serious expression. Glancing back to the twins, he said sternly. "We will discuss this later."
"Yes Prime," they said before racing off.
"Now, what can I do for you?" the Autobot leader asked.
" sir something's up with Ratchet" Cliffjumper said before Ironhide continued." He has something bugging him prime and he won't say what"
The prime sighed he notice the same thing but he wasn't the mech to pry but he was a mech that worried about his friends."And he ain't sleeping," Ironhide cut in. "He's had bad nights for a whole week but he don't want tah accept any help. Sooner or later, he's gonna collapse."
"I agree," Optimus said with a nod. "The problem is that he will resist attempts to help him. He feels that he must function or something bad will go wrong."
" can't you convince him to take a week off?" Cliffjumper asked he didn't want his uncle in pain.
"I can try," Optimus said ruefully. "Convincing him is another matter, he doesn't trust anyone to do the job like he can."
"But there's First Aid and Swoop," Cliffjumper pointed out."Still hedoesn't like to take days off or breaks unless someone convinces him" was the reply.
Ironhide groaned tipical of his little brother just tipical."Ah swear he'll drive meh to distraction," he muttered. "We'll probably have tah drug his Energon, then strap him down and lock him in our highest security cell."
"That's over board don't you think so Ironhide" Optimus asked leaning back abit arms crossed.
"Not when it comes to my brother," retorted Ironhide. "And yah can bet that even with all that, he still wouldn't get the rest he needs."
The mech had a point but Optimus still didn't agree with the other bot's methods.
Then something acurd in his mind.
" there might be something that could get him away from the ARK..I need a few mechs to go to CybertronI already picked The twins,Bumblebee and I was thinking Ratchet could go also" the prime explained.
" why?" The two red mechs asked.
They couldn't think why that would help Ratchet.
"We need six bots to go..with all the excitement he would forget the nightmare and he'll get peaceful nights" the pfime said.
"Prime that..actually might work" the weapon specialist said thoughtfully."But why are they going?" Cliffjumper asked, his uncle would be suspicious unless there was an important reason."There have been suspicious sightings in Iacon and a ghostly figure appearing then disappearing " Prime explained.
"Ghostly?" Ironhie repeated with a frown. "Some kind of Con trick?"
"Perhaps but I would like this investigated," Prime said. "If Megatron has nothing to do with it, no doubt he will blame us."
He had a point.
"Can me and Sire go also?" Cliffjumper asked as his sire and leader looked at him.
Optimus considered.
"I would prefer at least one of your remaining in care of an attack," he said slowly."I'll go prime!" The red minibot spoke up again before Ironhide could say a word.
"Now hold on Cliff" Ironhide said to his son he wasn't keen on putting his son at random mission."Come on dad," Cliffjumper said pleadingly. "I can do this, you know I can. You should stay here with Optimus, you know Megajerk's just waiting for the day you're not here."
the older mech sighed in defeat."Fine but do me a favour stay OK or Chromia will kill me"
"I'm not a sparkling anymore you know I've been in planny of battles." the red minibot retorted he was not gonna let his dessision go."Yeah, but ah'm usually there tah keep an optic on yah," Ironhide said with a soft smile. "Yer still our little one even though you're all grown up."
Cliffjumper crossed his arms grumbling he under stood that but he faught before that and he wanted this job so he can keep a optic on his uncle he just started to get to know him.
It seemed when his uncle was ten and His dad was 18 ratchet ran away and Ironhide found a dead body of their sire in his room..he thought the worse.
That is until the war started that the two saw eachother again.
So everything was quite complicated and it seemed Ironhide and Ratchet were still building their relationship as brothers while Cliffjumper was still trying to get to know his uncle. This would be a prefect chance to do just that and look after the Medic like he deserved.
"OK Cliffjumper you can join the others is that all you two needed?" Optimus asked the two autobots who nodded before leaving.
The next day The lambo twins,Bee,Cliffjumper,Ratchet and Inferno were getting ready to go to cybertron.
"sweet we're going to Cybertron for a ghost I plan to catch it!" Sideswipe said smiling"If it's a ghost," his twin said with contempt. "It could be a clever trick like a hologram or something. Maybe someone's hiding something and their trying to scare others away."
"I hope it's a hologram!" Bee said with a whimper.
"BOO!" Cliffjumper said scaring the yellow minibot who yelped hiding behind Ratchet in fear.
"Cliffjumper!" Ratchet,Sunstreaker and Sideswipe shouted as Ratchet tried to pry the young minibot off his right leg.
"What? I was joking" Cliffjumper said as Inferno rolled his optics."It won't be funny if we do encounter something out there," Ratchet said sternly. "And I don't want to have to deal with bots jumping on me every few breems."
"Sorry Ratchet " Cliffjumper sighed.
"Should we start heading to Cybertron?" Inferno asked as the others who nodded in agreement.
"Come on, before the Cons try to stop us," Ratchet said grimly.
They snuck into a decepticon bridge and then ZOOM they were on Cybertron...a abandoned part of it which confused them.
" we must've been in a glitchy bridge" Bumblebee said inoccently.
"Or it's the last location the Cons went to," mused Inferno.
" Bring on the cons we can take them-OW damn Ratchet do you just cary wrenches with you!?" Sideswipe shouted one second he was pumped now he was holding his helm in pain from a wrench to the head."Yes I do," Ratchet said grumpily. "Now cut out the jibber jabber, do you want the Cons to know we're here?"
"No sir " the red lambo grumbled pouting.
"Which way we go? where on cybertron are we?" Bumblebee asked looking around.
"Hmm, reminds me of Kaon," Inferno said with a frown, glancing around. "But pretty much the whole planet looks he same so it's hard to tell."Cliffjumper rolled his optics crossing his arms but spotted something and headed towards it while everyone was figuring out where they were. " hey!" He shouted as he got closer but whatever it was vanished."What you see?" Sideswipe asked.
"I dunno," Cliffjumper replied a little it was he saw it was gone.
The autobots transformed and drove off. " i love coming back here" cliffjumper said " hey Bee I think I saw a techo snail pass you"
" not funny Cliff we're going the same speed" the yellow bot said to his friend."Yeah but I'm faster," Cliffjumper replied smugly, relishing that they didn't have to worry about humans or other organic life now that they were back on their home planet." that would be the lambos place actually along with Blurr" bee said gaining a growl from the other mini bot.
" shut up Bumblebee!" The red car shouted."What's the matter?" Bumblebee said, feeling he'd gained the upper hand. "jealous?"
" I said shut up!" Cliffjumper was getting anoyyed now."You are jealous," the young Autobot declared was suddenly rammed into by the slightly older autobot and swerved alil in surprise.
" what's your deal!?" Was the yelped question.
"You're my deal!" was the angry retort.
" I was kidding!" Bee said"HEY!" Ratchet barked. "Break it up you two!"The two suddenly stop and keep driving.
"Wow didn't know bee can cause trouble also" Sideswipe teased."Yeah, makes a nice change," snickered his brother." you two are enjoying this aren't you?" Bee asked in two snickered before saying " yeah we are"
Bumblebee grumbled before reminding himself that they'd probably land themselves in trouble soon kept on driving for a few hours before they stopped in praxus to reful with the energon they brought with them.
" that was a good drive tobad no cons though" Cliffjumper said."That's a good thing," Ratchet said testily. "There's only a few of us and there could be potentially loads of them."
"Yeah but at least we don't have to worry about damaging anything or hurting organics," Sunstreaker said bracingly. " why you guys hate organics?" Bee asked inoccently. He didn't know if they hated them but how they complain it sounded like they did.
"Their annoying," was the reply. "And always getting in the way."
" not all of them are annoying and earth is thier home they have a right to walk around" the younger bot said.
" Bee you sound like prime" Sunstreaker said.
Ratchet rolled his optics before saying sternly." Sunstreaker cliffjumper just refuel we're gonna rest here" he was still tired but hid it well...he hoped."You okay?" Bumblebee asked with concern as Ratchet rubbed his face tiredly." yes Bumblebee I'm ok just abit tired" the medic replied tiredly but looked to his nephew when the red minibot scoffed." Don't you dare start Cliffjumper" .
" start what? That you haven't slept for seven nights " the red mini said crossing his arms giving his uncle a stern look."You haven't slept for seven nights?" Inferno said in astonishment. "Ratchet, what are you doing here, why aren't you resting?"Ratchet glared and growled " don't even lecture me I got it enough back at base!" He shouted making Inferno flinch back abit. The old medic was close to blowing if he got one more lecture from one more autobot."I am perfectly fine," he growled, getting to his feet and stamping sighed before taking another sip of him energon." I'm guessing you and your sire lectured him about it already?" Sunstreaker and Sideswipe asked at the same time.
"Yeah," he sighed again. "But he won't listen, thinks if he falls asleep, the whole world will be destroyed or something."
" that's what any rescue induced bot thinks Medics mostly Red's the same also" Inferno said with a shrug."But if guys like that don't get enough rest, they'll just collapse and be no good for anyone," Cliffjumper argued." well do you know why Ratchet isn't getting enough sleep?" The other autobot asked." well..no we didn't ask him" the red minibot said nervously."You should find out why he can't sleep and try to solve that problem," Inferno advised. "Might be the only way to get him to sleep."Cliffjumper thought a second then nodded in agreement,he'll ask Ratchet when the medic got back.
Which wasn't until after everyone was asleep.
The white and red mech was calm now and was coming back making sure to be quiet so not to wake sat down beside his nephew, glad that he was sleeping. Once again, he tiredly rubbed at his face, should he try to sleep? Or should he stay awake and stand guard?A yawn escaped him maybe he should try the former and hopefully he won't have a nightmare,again.
Laying down ratchet closed his optics and was soon enough woke up with a start from the same nightmare."AHH!" he screamed, optics wide with woke up from his scream Sunny,Sides and Inferno aiming thier weapons but lowered them seeing no trouble.
" you OK Ratchet?" Bumblebee asked his friend worriedly."I...," Ratchet said hoarsely, optics still wide. "It's...it's nothing."
" you screaming doesn't seem like nothing" Cliffjumper said giving his uncle a look.
"Just a nightmare," Ratchet mumbled, his processor pounding horribly.
" that's why you haven't been sleeping well?" Was the surprised blurt from the medics nephew." yes you guys get back to sleep" Ratchet grumbled."Not if you're going to wake us up with screaming," grumbled Sunstreaker as Cliffjumper exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell anyone?"Sighing the older mech said " my problem not yours"
"It will be our problem when you go into statis lock or are so tired, you make a mistake when fixing someone," Cliffjumper snapped." look I had this before! It'll go away on it's own!" Ratchet snapped."And what if it doesn't?" Cliffjumper argued. "What good will you be to us then?"Ratchet was struck silent before standing up and glaring."Can't you take sleepers or something?" Sideswipe suggested.
" I am not!" Ratchet shouted he turned " look I'm gonna drive ahead so later!" He transformed and drove ahead unknown of a glowing figure following."Why do they have to interfere?" he muttered angrily to drove faster he had to get away." Ratchet" a echoy voice said causing the medic to stop transforming and look around " who's there!?" He shouted .
" Ratchet" the voice said again And the autobot saw a see through green and black mech with purple optics and a blood red cheveron." Sire!?" Ratchet shouted before the figure vanished into thin air."Oh Primus, I'm losing my mind," Ratchet groaned, clutching his really needed his recharge! But he refused to take sleeping meds.
" that couldn't have been my sires ghost it couldn't!" He groaned not noticing a familiar red figure walk over."What now?" he medic looked up and saw Cliffjumper standing there." what you want Cliffjumper?" He asked holding his head which was still pounding."We were worried," Cliffjumper said softly. "You don't look good."
"I'm going crazy," the medic muttered." you see something?" His nephew asked seeing his uncle in pain.
" I thought I saw my Sire" was the stared before saying worriedly. "Uncle, I think your lack of recharge is making you hallucinate. You really need sleep."
" I know I do but I refuse to take sleeping meds" Ratchet said stubbernly."Why?" Cliffjumper asked." I was drugged unknowingly once..the next thing I knew my patients went through spark attacks and I wasn't there to help" Ratchet explained.
Cliffjumper nodded, he understood why Ratchet was scared to use sleepers.
"But you need to do something," he said softly. "Or you'll end up unconscious anyway from exhaustion."
" I can't get any sleep with these stupid nightmares of that night!" He hugged him comfortly, but was confused about the last words he said..then it hit him! The nightmares were memories of his grandsire.
"Have you been dreaming about grandsire?" he nodded hesentantly almost afraid to admit it."Maybe that's the problem," Cliffjumper suggested. "What happened all those cycles ago has caught up to you."
"I never forgot that day Cliff what happened that day never left me" the medic said not looking at his nephew.
He remembered it like it was yesterday,He was ten and bored and snuck into his sires room to look at his cool sire said to never go in there but what could hurt right?Wrong he found something that caust his life to change-
Ratchet shook his head fast He was not gonna go down that train of thought again."What happened?" questioned Cliffjumper."I don't want to talk about it" the oldwr autobot replied standing up and walking towards the others."Uncle, have you ever talked about it?" the red Mech questioned, running after him."Once when it happened with my adopted family but after that never again" Ratchet said after he ran away he was taken in by a couple who happened to be Perceptors parents sure he missed his old family but he didn't know if Ironhide was still around or not..so he never looked back..thag is until the war happened.
"I think you need to talk about it, to let yourself recover and move on," Cliffjumper insisted. "I don't think trying to forget about is working any more, it's affecting your sleep."
"Which one of us is the medic here huh? I will just bring up old wounds! So drop it and lets go back to the mission OK!" Ratchet shouted at the younger mech he just wanted this whole subject dropped.
"And what are we going to do next time you wake up screaming?" the young Mech muttered to himself.
They headed back to the others who were fast asleep again Bumblebee was huddled Close to the Lambo Twins which was a odd site for the minibot hating twins,but hey Bumblebee was a like able ferno looked like He fell asleep taking watched.
"Anyone could have snuck up on us," Ratchet muttered, taking a seat with a groan."You think?" Cliffjumper replied taking over the watch grunted before saying. "We can't stay here all night, we'll have to move soon."
"Then why not scream again Ow!" The red mini yelped holding his head in pain from a wrench to the head."Let it go brat" Ratchet growled putting his wrench back into his subspace. "You let it go," retorted Cliffjumper.
Ratchet glared at him as a responce."It'll help with your sleep" the red frontliner said.
"You don't get it oncd those sleepers hit my sysytem you'll have a pit of a time waking me up if I'm needed and I'm not gonna let it happen" the medic explained."Well, I think it' worth the risk, you need a good rest," Cliffjumper stated firmly."You drug me you're gettin a dented hide" the medic said with a deadly growl."Why can't you just take it yourself?" Cliffjumper asked. "I could watch over you while the others carry on wards, everything would be fine."
"I said no!" Ratchet shouted startling Bumblebee awake."You guys trying to get him to take sleepers again?" the yellow mini asked yawning."Yes with little sucsess" Cliffjumper growled glaring at his uncle who glared back."Uh," Bumblebee said, looking between the two. "Well...if it would help you have a good sleep..."
"Tempting Bumblebee but still no" Ratchet said with a groan wishing they'd drop the subject."You are so stubborn," Cliffjumper exclaimed." look who's talking oh nephew of mine" was the retort as the white and red mech layed down looking at the sky."Not as stubborn as you," Cliffjumper muttered." should we get going?" Sunstreaker asked getting tired of the family fued between the two autobots."I think so," Inferno stated, glancing at Ratchet. "Ratchet, do you need a longer rest?"
" no I'm fine" the medic said standing up minutes later they wereon the road again."How long until we get there?" Sideswipe questioned." should be there in a few miles" Ratchet replied.
"Good, this place gives me the creeps," the red Lamborghini muttered.
" you seemed pumped earlier" his twin muttered."Yeah well, nothing's happening," his twin all suddenly heard a explosion nearby causing them to hit the breaks and transform to root mode."Frag, what was that?" Ratchet cursed.
" over there!" Bumblebee shouted pointing to some senstires charging at them.
"Finally, some excitement," Sideswipe charged and the battle somepoint in the battle Ratchet saw Cliffjumper being sneaked up from behind and tackled him out of the way just as the other shot shooting his leg and the other large sentry.
" Ah" Ratchet screamed as his side was shot in the cross fire." uncle!" Cliffjumper exclaimed."I'm...fine," Ratchet gasped, clutching his injured side in agony and feeling that he might black out at any moment." no you're not we got to get out of here!" The red mini said trying to help his uncle to his peds,but being a minibot it was a chalenge since his uncle was really tall compaired to him."Urgh," Ratchet groaned, his optics flickered with pain." guys alil help!" Cliffjumper shouted to the other autobots after the last of the sentry was destroyed."Coming," Inferno called, hurrying helped ratchet , who blacked out from pain, up but picked him up." Is that a good or a bad sign he's out cold?" Bee asked worriedly.
"Depends," Inferno muttered. "But maybe he'll get some rest at last. We need to get under cover and patch him up."They did just that in a abandond house that wasn't that torn up but was looking like no one had touched it in eons.
" Ok I'm feeling like I'm in one of those haunted houses from that show about a talking dog" Bumblebee said shivering looking around as Inferno setted Ratchet on the couch."Talking dog?" Cliffjumper repeated before shaking his head. "Humans are weird."
"They call the show Scooby Doo it's actually funny" the yellow mini replied."Sounds ridiculous," was all Cliffjumper would say as they laid Ratchet out on a smooth slab." convieniet that there's one of these things around in this place" Inferno said checking out Ratchet's wound."Yeah," Cliffjumper murmured. "How is he?"
" well his armor on his side is scorched but I might beable to seal the wound,I ain't a medic but I can give it my best" Inferno said getting to work on the injured Medic.
" I'm gonna look around" Bee said going up the stairs."Don't go far and be careful," Inferno warned." got it" bee replied before vanishing up the minutes later they hear rapid footsteps and suddenly Bee is clinging onto Cliffjumper for dear life."What the pit?" Inferno exclaimed as the twins looked around, they'd been watching out for Decepticons." G-Ghost! I saw a ghost" the young mini said." ghost aren't real" cliffjumper said trying to get the other mini off of him." On my spark I'm telling to truth! It was tall as Ratchet! Had black and green armor purple optics red cheveron and was staring at me!" Bumblebee said looking around.
Cliffjumper stopped dead and gaped openly at younger frown at that look " what?"
"That...that sounds like my grandsire," Cliffjumper chocked out.
" Why would your grandsire be around? I thought he was dead" sideswipe said prying Bumblebee off of Cliffjumper,everyone heard the story of ratchet and Ironhide's sire from Ironhide." like I would know!?" The red mini bot shouted."I-is he dead?" Bumblebee asked, trembling." yeah my sire came home and found him dead and Ratchet nowhere to be found" Cliffjumper one noticed the ghost Bumblebee saw walk into the room and over to Ratchet who was still out cold."What...did Ratchet kill him?" Bumblebee asked with wide optics." no idea the only one who knows is Ratchet and the ghost" Cliffjumper said.
Speeking of the ghost he was looking over his son's sleeping form a soft smile on his face.
He reached forward to touch his son's cheek." hey!" Sunstreaker said spotting the ghost who looked at them." I mean no harm" the ghost said calmy."AHH!" Bumblebee screamed, jumping onto Cliffjumper again and clinging for all he was worth. "That's him?"
Inferno held up a hand to stop either of the twins from attacking the intruder.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
" my name is Repo , I'm the old owner of this place and Ratchet's Sire" was the explained reply."This is Ratchet's house?" Sunstreaker said in amazement."And what do you want?" Inferno asked carefully."Nothing but my body back in peace someone dog up my grave and as we speak using my body as a experiment" Repo said before looking at Cliffjumper " You're Ironhide's son" he said curiously."Yeah...I am," Cliffjumper said cautiously. "Uh...how did you die?"A frown pulled onto the ghost face but side sitting next to his son's body looking at him before looking at the others. " I was shot in the spark by Ratchet but it was a accident he was messing with my pistol...got spooked next thing I know I'm in the afterlife..But I have no grudge against my son" he said touching his sons cheek " he blames himself but he shouldn 't it would happen sooner or later from some vengeful relatives of targets of mine."
" wait what?" Sideswipe asked.
" I was a assassin in my time" Repo replied.
"An assassin?" they all gasped.
" yes a assassin Ironhide hated me for it but I did the job for the money I was saving it for if any of them needed it" was the reply."But why an assassin?" Cliffjumper exclaimed. He and his dad enjoyed fighting and guns but no way would they ever assassinate another bot. Face your opponent squarely, that's what his dad had always taught him. It was cowardly to shoot others in the back, especially if they had no idea you where there.
"Why? I only Assasinate those a danger like mobsters or other assassins afew other here and there NEVER and I mean NEVER a child be they teens or not" Repo said before looking at his grandson "I wanted a better future for my sons and getting enough money for that even if it was wrong I had to continue...Your father hated me for it but your uncle didn't shun me for it..when ever I got paid I split the credits into both of thier accounts." He explained standing up,it pained him at the time that his eldest hated him for what he did he didn't want his grandson to do the same.A groan caught thier attention as Ratchet stired while Repo's ghost vanished into thin air.
"Wait!" Cliffjumper cried but he was already 's optics fully onlined but offlined with a wince " ow!" He yelped." well least you're ok and take it easy" Inferno said when the Medic tried to sit up."What the s*** happened?" he asked with a groan." you took a shot for Cliffjumper and went outcold,sleepwell by the way?" Sideswipe explained.
" never do that again" Cliffjumper said he didn't like his uncle injured.
"I slept?" Ratchet said dumbly before realising that he had indeed slept." yes you actually slept" sunstreaker replied. "Amazing," Ratchet muttered before asking. "Is everyone else alright?"
"Yeah the only injuries where scratches of paint and dents you got shot in the side" Inferno explained. Cliffjumper was looking at the medic,how could someone who heals injuries be related to someone who took lives for money."What?" Ratchet asked, seeing Cliffjumper's look." how can you be related to someone who takes lives for money?" He asked 's optics went wide in confusion and shock." W-What are you talking about?"
"Grandsire," he stated. "He was an assassin, wasn't he?"
The medic froze,how he find out? He doubted Ironhide told him his brother never liked the info about thier sire. " how you find out?"With a tight smile, Cliffjumper said. "Because grandsire just told us all."Ratchet looked at his nephew then checked his head for any nasty dents."I'm not kidding, we all saw him," his nephew said, brushing his uncle off. "He said you didn't mean to kill him, it was an accident and he doesn't blame you for it."
" WHAT do you mean?! How'd you figure it out" ratchet said thinking they were just tricking him." we saw your Sire's ghost he told us everything honest no joke" Bumblebee said as the others nodded in agreement."Yeah, creepy as hell," Sunstreaker spoke up. "He was standing over you with a smile."Ratchet just staired before saying " then where he go- wait where the hell are we?" He suddenly asked looking around feeling a familiar vibe."He said you guys used to live here," Bumblebee piped suddenly groaned with a face palm " great the one place I vowed to never return to"
"So is it true?" Sideswipe asked.A sad nod was his only reply."Whoa," the red Mech said, amazed that the ghost had told the truth.A sound suddenly caught his attention and he and his twin aimed thier weapons at the door as it started to open.
The figure that walked in was a familiar blue femme.
" Carrier?" Cliffjumper said when the femme walked in he forgot the autobot femmes were still on Cybertron."Cliff," she exclaimed, rushing over to him and hugging him. "Baby, what are you doing here?"
" a mission " the red mini bot explained hugging his mom back." And snooping into my past you should be proud" his uncle said gaining thier attention."I'm always proud of my boy," she declared with a smile before noticing Ratchet had been wounded. "Primus, Ratchet, what happened?"
" took a shot for Cliffjumper you're welcome" ratchet said but was suddenly hugged " huh!?"
"Thanks for looking after my baby," she whispered into his audio.
" welcome" was the reply as the medic returned the hug.
" we better get you to a medbay and don't give me that 'I don't need another medics help' scrap lets go boys before the slicer finds us" chromia said getting ready to leave."Slicer?" Bumblebee questioned." what everyone is calling whatever slices Sentries into peices so lets go" the femme said as Inferno picks Ratchet up.
" I got legs Inferno" Ratchet said.
"I know," Inferno said with a grin.
"Whatever slices, sounds creepy," Bumblebee muttered.
They all left and headed to the femme base and when they got there Ratchet was being checked over along with Inferno who was dumb to tease The medic who hit him with a wrench five times on the way there.
" make sure you take his wrenches!" The fire truck grumbled.
"We will," chuckled Chromia." your fault for teasing him Inferno" Sideswipe snickered with his twin."Yeah, yeah," Inferno grumbled." so Ratchet what you mean by snooping into your past?" Chromia asked the medic as Fire star looked at his wounded side." I ain't telling ow! Dang it" he shouted when the fire colored femme took out a debree left in there.
"Got some shrapnel lodged in there," she murmured, dropping the debree into a dish before going for another piece." this is so weird being the patient" Ratchet groaned looking at the ceiling." not fun is it Ratchet?" The lambo twins asked just growled at him.
" you two knock it off now" Chromia said sternly to the young held up their hands in surrender as more pieces of metal were removed from Ratchet's wound." anymore shrapnel?" Ratchet groaned." few more" fire star said.
"Brilliant," he grumbled.
"How's your Sire?" Chromia was now asking Cliffjumper." he's doing good though he accidently froze alot of autobots few days ago" the red mini replied smiling nervously at the last laughed at this, asking. "How on Cybertron did that happen?"
" long story short he was testing something for Wheeljack and next thing everyone knows most of us are trapped in ice" cliffjumper said shrugging."I should have known Wheeljack was involved," Chromia stated but warmly. "It's a shame we can't join you on Earth."
" why don't you?" Her son asked.
"We're needed here to fight Shockwave," she replied with a sign. "If we all left then he could consolidate his position and make it much harder to retake Cybertron. It's easier than it used to be now the Prime is sending Energon and we can steal more form Shockwave."
" ok but still wish you could come to earth" Cliffjumper replied.
"I do," she admitted causing him to say. "Maybe some of the Mechs could do a tour here, give you and the other Femmes a break on Earth."
" you think Prime would agree to that?" Chromia asked."He might if a certain lady commander can come to Earth," Inferno commented on with a both looked at Elita who was talking to bumblebee who looked embarassed looking around."What do you think Ma'am?" Inferno asked causally. "Think a swap of troops would work?"
Elita thought for a second before smiling " yeah it would I'll talk to Optimus about it." She said."Great," Cliffjumper said, grinning at his carrier. "Sire'll be surprised."
" yeah don't have prime tell him 'lita I want to see his face when I come" Chromia said smirking just picturing it." I'll go contact Optimus now" Elita giggled walking away.
" femmes just love doing this kind of thing don't they?" Bumblebee asked.
"Oh yeah," Sunstreaker said with a smirk. "Hey Bee, think any Femme Minibots will come to Earth? You might get a date..."
" I think they are already taken" bee said shyly he wouldn't say it but he had a crush on the Lambos..but they hate Minibots so no chance on that.
" by who?" Sideswipe asked.
" by the other Minibots who else?" Bumblebee replied with a sigh.
"Well, maybe you'll get lucky," Sunstreaker said unconcernedly, moving away with his twin to talk while Bumblebee stared after them wistfully. He was no where near brave enough to ask them out and he really didn't want them either mocking or hating him for looked after the twins with a glare,he figured about Bumblebee's crush on them awhile back,and was furious that the twins couldn't even tell! He walked over to his friend and patted his shoulder.
" You ok Bee?" The red minibot asked."Yeah," Bumblebee said with a sigh.
"Those two are idiots," Cliffjumper declared and as Bee looked at him, added. "They can't see when a bot likes them, even when it's staring them in the face."
This made the yellow bot blush." I-I guess they just see me as another autobot.. And not in that way" was the sad reply.
" I have half a mind to prank them" Cliffjumper growled.
The two stepped back as a white and pink femme with blue optics walked by.
Ratchet looking around saw the femme and his spark skipped a his optics, she was absolutely beautiful.
" hey there I'm Arcee" the femme said standing next to the Berth Ratchet was on.
" Med- I-I'm Ratchet the autobot medic on earth" ratchet said hoping she didn't notice the tounge tiedness.
"I've heard about you," she said with a smile. "You're pretty famous."
"Infamous you mean," he said wryly, thankfully not stuttering.
" either way is it true you throw wrenches at people?" She asked.
" YES" Inferno,Cliffjumper,bee and Chromia said at once."Only if they're messing around...or annoying me," Ratchet defended, tempted to reach for a wrench but it might make a bad impression on this Femme." that's understandable" Arcee said with. A giggle.
"Thanks," he said with a smile, suddenly feeling more relaxed despite his injury and a dim sense of tiredness."Arcee how was your scouting?" Chromia asked gaining the younger Femme's attention.
" oh right! Umm well Shockwave was working on a rusted up corps but I could see abit of colors..and it looked like it was twitching" the white and pink femme explained."Odd," Chromia commented on as Cliffjumper suddenly remembered something his grandsire had said.
"FRAG!" he yelped.
Everyone looked at him.
