for a better back ground on Rapids, Whiteout and Corona go to my co-writers account

(Corona Pax)

I watched as my 'guardian'

Performed surgery on an unfortunate mech who's arm was being reattached to his body, which was a pretty normal surgery for cons,

What was entertaining to me was that Knock Out was complaining about his paint job well he worked, I had to marvel that the poor mech was still alive.

"RAPIDS, GET ME A ENRGON PUMP NOW!" I smiled a bit as I grabbed an enrgon clip and handed it to my overreacting guardian medic "Don't you mean a enrgon clip, K.O?"

Knock Out spun around "THATS WHAT I SAID!" He yelled snatching the clip from Me "What ever you say K. O"

Just then I got a message from lord Megatron summining me to the bridge.

"RAPIDS BRIDGE NOW."

I answered it swiftly "Yes sir."

I grimaced as the leader of the decepticons yelled in my audio receptor

" BRIDGE NOW!"

"Yes, lord megaton" Rolling my optics I tapped Knock Out "I'll be back" grabbing a data pad I headed for the bridge.

Entering the bridge I saluted

"Lord Megatron, you summend m…" I trailed off upon seeing a young autobot mech on his knees a long jagged cut on the back of his healm,

the really bad part, I knew him.

"Ah Rapids finally!" Megatron gestured to the young mech at his peds "We found this autobot and a femme in the desert, around the place the humans call Australia, they appeared to be patrolling for enrgon. the femme escaped" Megatron kicked the young mech over and pointed a talen at me "Interrogate him until you find out where the autobot base is." he turned to leave but before he was out of range the young prisoner spoke up "I'll never brake bucket head!" He spat.

The war lord growled and spun around to trick the prisoner.

But I stood in his way "Please lord Megatron, allow me to glean whatever information I can from him, as you've commanded"

The war lord lowered his servo and growled again I thought it sounded like a broken diesel with rocks and it's engine.

"Make sure you get the information I desire."

And with that the old gladiator left In a huff

I rubbed the side of my helm I had a major processor ache and I had a feeling it was going to get much worse.

I yanked the prisoner to his peds, checking to make sure the cuffs were on good, I pushed him forward and we began our march to the brig.

Once I was in an empty hallway I watched the youngling.

His name was Whiteout, but I new him better as Drew and he was my best friend Corona's little brother.

I knew him very well, he was kinda like a nephew in a weird way. Which of course meant two things, 1. I could not hurt whiteout for fear both his sisters would kill me, and 2. I could have a little fun.

I leaned forward and whispered "Whiteout you are in so much trouble."

The mech kept his healm down but replied "Yeah, yeah I know I'll be fine, Bucket Head don't scare me. and nether do you Rapids"

I pushed the young and apparently naïve human turned bot into his cell.

"I'm not talking about decepticons Whiteout." I closed the door and through the intercom whispered "I was talking about how much trouble you'll be in when Corona gets her hands on you." the color vanished from Whiteouts faceplate.

I grinned and left to finish my work before trying to deal with my 'interrogation' which I was not looking forward to.

I turned toward the med-bay when I heard the light 'tink tink tink' of arachnids legs clinging to the ceiling.

I spun around activating my blaster and pointing it at the spidercon "What do you want Arachnid?" I growled

She smiled in her sick way making it harder for me to resist blasting her to pit.

"I came to see the young prisoner, is that a problem? Rapids?" I hated the she said my name "yes as a matter of fact it is,

the autobot is off limits. Understand?" I asked my blaster warming up to emphasize my point.

"Oh, You're no fun." She hissed and turned to leave.

I waited untill I couldn't hear her anymore before I deactivated my blaster and quickly placed a small camera in front of Whiteout's cell it would alert me if anyone tried to enter.

With that taken care of I made my way back to the med-bay rubbing my helm as I went, I needed something to ease the pressure in my helm.

As I finely entered the med-bay, I placed my data pad down and began rummaging through some of the shelves looking for a remedy for my helm.

"What the pit are you doing!?" Knock out screeched right behind me.

I spun around servos pressed to my helm "GUH! K.O, I'm looking for an autobot hiding in the shelves! What do you think I'm looking for!?" I yelled back

He glared at me

I though ignored it, in a lower voice I said "I have a splitting helm ache, and I am about to go interrogate the autobot prisoner"

He continued to glare like he was going to throw me in the brig

"Top shelf all the way back third container from the right"

A bit surprised I nodded "Thanks K.O" he had already tuned away from me "Yeah, yeah I'm amazing whatever. Get out of my med-bay, and leave me in peace!"

I laughed reaching to the grab the container that had a pinkish glow, working quickly I took some, sighing as some of the pressure in my helm way relived.

Picking up my data pad I finished the work on it and placed it on Knock out's desk.

I exited the med-bay headed first to my private quoters, a meer six steps away from my quoters an alarm sounded in my helm "Ah" I hissed servo flying to my helm.

I silenced the alarm and brought up the reason for the alarm on my internal hub screen.

It was a live video feed from the camera I placed outside the Whiteout's cell, It was Starsream

*that frager!* without hesitation I transformed in to my jet mode and tore down the hallways of the Nemesis.

As I closed in on Whiteout's cell

I transformed and landed semi lightly on my peds hardly making a sound, I mentally thanked Corona for the training she had made ( physically forced) me take.

I peeked around the corner to see the sorry excuse for a

second-in-command

The door to Whiteout's cell was refusing to open angrying the SIC I suppressed a laugh but it was replaced with a growl when the cell door opened with a *whoosh*.

Starsream entered the cell and I heard Whiteout greet the

second-in-command with his usual sarcasm "Well hello Screemer!"

I placed myself right outside the cell where I could listen and intervene if necessary.

"You will not talk like that when I am done with you autobug"

"What happened to Reckles..I mean Rapids I thought Bucket Head put her in charge on my interrogation"

"I am simply going to ask you a few questions, so if you would be so kind as too SHUT UP!" Starscreem placed his tallen under Whiteouts chin.

"And answer my questions and the pain will be greatly lessened"

I growled *Ima gonna scrap you Screemer*

I decided to step in before Starscreem took it to far.

So taking a calming breath.

I stepped through the door

"I have to agree with the autobot youngling, sir" The tall lean deceptcion sneered at me but quickly masked his distaste for me

"Rapids! Where have you been, Hm? Lord Megatron sent me down here to make sure you were doing your job correctly,

Which I might add you are not!"

I ground my dentures together.

And swallowed my pride and the urge to punch him.

"Forgive me, commander Starscreem." I said inclining my healm slightly.

Before he could reply I added

"I was fetching the upgraded shock stick for the interrogation...sir, I am of course using your technique"

Starscream straightened wings drawing together positioned high in his back pointed straight up.

Stroking the seekers ego was a surefire to get on his good side.

"Well then, get back to it, I want the exact location of the autobots base! Am I understood?"

I pulled up and saluted internally rolling my optics this self-preening whack-job was almost to easy to manipulate.

Starscream nodded and left the cell, wings held high.

Once he was gone I glared at Whiteout "You're just a magnet for trouble aren't you?"

He smiled "Trouble is where the fun is."

I lifted his chin to see a thin cut where Starscream's tallen had been.

"Corona's gonna scrap me." I cast a death glare at the brig door "Right after I scrap that over baked dorito-of-dum."

Whiteout laughed nervously "Can't we keep this little adventure between us. And away from Corona?"

I raised an optic ridge "Really? You think I'm gonna lie to my best friend?" I paused "Hm, What a novel idea, except that she'll see your injures the Bucket head and Screemer gave you." Whiteout sighed in defeat.

Just then I got an encrypted message "Speaking of your sister. She just messaged me, probably asking where you are."

Whiteout shifted uncomfortably in his bindings "So when and how are you gonna get me out of here?"

I stood to leave smiling "All in good time youngling" he glared at me as I left which made it all the more fun.

I headed straight for my quoters to open and decode the message from my friend, I had to do it in my quoters because I had to be sure the decpticion spy master Soundwave didn't pick up the transmission.

Till all are one,

Rapids out.
