(( Right. My second fic. It's about Rampage and my own char Hex. Unfortunately, I don't own BeastWars or any of it's characters. I can still wish I did though XD I hope you guys'll like it. I'll try to update every few days. ))

Intro - An Unusual Meeting.

Some people say it started when she came to meet him on Ancient Earth. Others say it started when they returned from there. But it actually started a long time before that.

The room was only half lit. He had been told it was to save power, but he knew that they just wanted to avoid seeing him. The idea made him laugh whenever he thought about it. And when he noticed his guards shuddering then, he laughed even harder.

It was the sounds of his laughter that welcomed her. She couldn't help but laugh along, even though she had no idea what the joke was. She stopped when she remembered what she had been doing and started thrashing about wildly.
"Let me goooooo," she demanded, hitting the back of her carrier with her cuffed hands.

She was heaved over the guards shoulder since they didn't trust her when walking anymore. The two guards that had been moved to the medical bay explained why. The guard grunted, signalling for the other guard present in the room to open the cell across from the laughing man.

Once inside, she was dumped unceremoniously. Landing on her butt, she winced and rubbed it before looking around. Another cell, guard, door, guard, another cell, cell with giant bloke, guard, do- cell with giant bloke? Her gaze swept back, coming to rest on the gigantic bot that was now observing her quietly.

She took a moment to take in the broad chest, the powerful hands, his athletic legs and the slim waist. He looked very strong and powerful. His optics looked amused and with the way he was sitting, it was clear that despite being in a cell, he dominated the room.

"Wow mister, you're frigging huge," she commented, grinning with a childlike innocence. Despite the words, it sounded more like a compliment than anything else.

He raised an eyebrow. The female he was looking at was slender in form, skinny to a fault nearly. She had long legs and nice curves. No visible weapons or even weaponcases. Her mouth was covered by a small plate of metal. Overall, she was coloured dark blue and dark red, but her optics were a bright sky-blue.

"I'm Protoform X. I wouldn't be if I wasn't huge," he commented dryly.

"Who?" she had the nerve to ask, tilting her head to the side.

Protoform X blinked. Who? She dared ask who he was? How could she not know?! He was the most famous bot that had ever walked (and destroyed) the streets of Cybertron! His optics darkened as he seethed. Who was he? He'd show her, if she was any closer.

The fembot looked at him innocently. She even smiled. He looked cute, even when angry. She sat up on her knees, resting her hands on top of them as she waited for him to answer. She didn't seem phased at all by the showing on his face, nor by the strain he was putting on his chains.

"Protoform X. Do you not fear me, Maximal? Do you not watch the news?" he asked, his voice icy cold. When she shook her head, his anger grew more. He didn't let her speak as she opened her mouth though. "I've killed my creators and every guard, soldier or staff in the facility five days ago. It took an airstrike and an army to even capture me. And you have not heard of me?"

She shook her head again, but he could've sworn he saw her optics gleam as he mentioned the killings.

"No, I was locked in the isolationchamber then," she said. A shadow passed over her face before she put on a smile again. He could feel the fear in her spark as she mentioned that chamber though. How could she be afraid of that but not of him? She lowered her voice to a loud whisper. "It is a very creepy place. I try to behave... but it's all so boring here. So I hurt a few guards... and now they're all insulted!"

Protoform X felt his anger slowly wash away as she spoke. The way she thought wasn't quite like usual bots thought. It was refreshing. Especially the fact that she really didn't seem to get that Maximals weren't quite fond of having their soldiers attacked.

"What exactly did you do to the guards?" he enquired, a little intregued now. Who knew? Talking to her might actually be fun. And if it got boring, he could always kill her later.

"I tore the arm off the first and beat the second up with it, while the first was spraying mechfluid everywhere!" she exclaimed in one breath, giggling as she did. "The third slipped on it and hit his head, but he still managed to shoot me."

The smile morphed into a pout. Protoform X couldn't help but laugh. The way she described it, it must've been quite a show. And she really seemed to enjoy it too. She grinned at him widely, glad he approved.

"See? You get it.. So why can't they?" she asked, looking over to the guards, who were looking from her to Protoform X and back again with growing worry.

"Child, their minds are uncreative and unintelligent. You can not assume they even catch a glimpse of what you seem to get," Protoform X said, looking at the female in the cell across him.

"I am not a child," the fembot said, getting up and putting her hands into her side. She actually stood up on her toes to make herself look longer. "My name is Hex and I'm fully mature."

"Bodily perhaps," one of the guards remarked dryly. "You're more a child than my own kid is."

The other laughed and the first guard joined in soon after. Hex huffed, crossing her arms angrily. Her face betrayed that the comment stung though. She was very much an open book to read. Protoform found himself smiling. He might not kill her after all.

"If you insult the lady again, you might soon not have a child to find childish," Protoform X said dryly. Immediately, the laughter of the guards seized. He was known to keep his threats. From across the path, Hex smiled at him gratefully. What a gentlebot. Very kind and nice and such. She liked him.

Looking back at the guards, she split open her mouthpiece. Putting a finger beneath her optic, she stuck her tongue out at them. Though the guards had a hard time not to insult her again, Protoform X roared with laughter. No. He would not kill her. He might even set her free.
