Notes:

Sorry it took so long to write this. School got in the way. High school sure sucks. I have like a ton of homework. Anyways, I also had a bad case of writer's block. Thankfully, I came up with an idea. So, here it is. Again, please no hate. Enjoy.

Feminine Side: Chapter 2

Wheeljack and Ratchet were discussing what to do about Ratchet's current 'predicament'. He was still a femme, and it had been three days. It was getting on his nerves. He was tired of Miko and Bulkhead's teasing. They came up to him and asked him stupid questions just to piss him off. And then there was Arcee. She just loved rubbing it in his face. Yes, he was a femme. They didn't have to torment him because of it.

At least Wheeljack was nice about it. He was even helping him find a way to fix it. But maybe that was just because they were together now. Everyone at the base had been surprised when they first found out. No one had expected that the grumpy medic and the former Wrecker would have gotten together, but they did. And they seemed very happy about it. So, now everyone had accepted it. Well, there was still Miko's teasing, but that's just Miko being Miko.

Currently, Ratchet and Wheeljack were studying the cause of what had happened, the orange glowing rock. They had figured out that pouring water on it was what caused the incident in the first place, so they were very careful not to get it wet. But, they still hadn't figured out what it was.

Ratchet was getting really annoyed. He just wanted his old self back. Was that too hard to ask? Suddenly an alarm went off. Apparently, it was.

"It seems the Decepticons are looking for more energon to mine. Unfortunately, they are doing it very close to our base," Optimus said in his deep, rumbling voice. "Ratchet, Wheeljack, we are going to need all the help we can get. So, I want you two to come along. They are too close, and we cannot risk them discovering where we are at."

Ratchet internally groaned. Primus, what did I do to deserve this? He was never going to stop being a femme. And now, Optimus was making him go fight Decepticons like this. Could this get any worse?

"Autobots, transform and roll out!" Optimus commanded. Then they all transformed into their alt modes and rode through the ground bridge.

When the Autobots arrived at the coordinates, the Decepticons were already starting to dig through the rocky cliffs to find more energon. They didn't even notice the Autobots drive up. It wasn't until that they were only about ten feet away did Megatron spot them as they transformed.

"Ah, Optimus Prime. I see you brought along all your little friends. Well, I guess I will just have to destroy you all. Decepticons, attack!" Megatron shouted as he rushed towards Optimus. All the other Decepticons joined in. Well, except for Megatron's little minions, the vehicons. They were still digging for energon and avoiding the fight.

Bulkhead dodged a missile from Dreadwing while Arcee was trying to avoid getting killed by Airachnid. Bumblebee was avoiding Soundwave's tentacles while trying to get a good hit on him. Wheeljack was charging at Breakdown with his sword in hand, and of course, Optimus was duking it out with Megatron.

Knockout was rushing at Ratchet, until he saw the femme figure. He stopped dead in his tracks and skidded to a halt. He had never seen a femme like that before. She was probably the prettiest femme he had ever seen, even if she was an Autobot. Airachnid sort of creeped him out, and Arcee was too much of a tomboy, not to mention the fact that she was an Autobot. But this femme was something totally different.

"KNOCKOUT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE LIKE AN IDIOT? I SAID ATTACK!" Megatron screamed from across the battlefield. Then he turned to see what his medic was looking at. What he saw made him stop fighting Optimus and stare at it.

All the other Decepticons stopped fighting as well to see what their leader was looking at. All of their jaws dropped. Standing before Knockout was another femme, with a red and white paint job.

Ratchet just stared at Knockout, confused as to why he had just stopped fighting. What in the world are those Decepticons doing? They all just stopped fighting. And now they're staring at something. I guess they've all finally lost it. Wait a minute. They're staring at me! He nearly choked on his realization. Oh, this was not good. Not good at all.

"Why hello there, sweetspark, why are you out here in the middle of the battlefield? And with the Autobots no less. You should join the Decepticons. They're a lot more fun. And then maybe you and me can get together," Knockout said in his most seductive voice.

Oh Primus, help me! Knockout is flirting with me! Disgusting! This is the worst day of my life! Ratchet thought. Then, he pulled out a wrench and wacked Knockout upside the helm. Maybe a good hit to the head would knock some sense into that vain Decepticon.

"Oooo, feisty! I like it!" Knockout said as he rubbed his sore helm.

Ratchet internally groaned. He wished he were somewhere else right now. Anywhere but here. But unfortunately, that was not going to happen. Why wasn't anybody helping him?" Maybe they were just too shocked. Either way, he wanted out of there.

"Buzz off, Knockout," Ratchet growled.

"How in the world do you know my name?"

Shoot. They still think he's someone else. He just blew it. He internally groaned. "I just do, okay! Leave me alone!"

"Sorry, but that is not going to happen. You are coming with us. Goodbye Optimus Prime! We shall be taking your new femme. She may prove to be very useful," Megatron cut in. Where did he come from? He must have snuck up on them while he was being hit on by Knockout.

Where's Optimus? Why hasn't he stopped Megatron? Then Ratchet looked over Megatron's shoulder. There was Optimus, glaring at two cons that had their guns aimed at Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead. They must have gotten distracted by the exchange between him and Knockout. Great. Just what I need. I'm gonna be kidnapped by Megatron and there's no one to help me. We're not evenly matched and if I tried to escape, he'd probably kill me. And it doesn't help that Knockout's with him. I'm stuck. But I might as well go down fighting. Ratchet then promptly punched Megatron in the stomach. He wasn't letting him kidnap him without getting beaten up a little.

"Never hit me! I hit you!" Megatron yelled as he slapped him. Ratchet just glared at him. "Decepticons, fall back. We have gotten our prize. Head back to the Nemesis," Megatron commanded. Then he grabbed a struggling Ratchet and went through the ground bridge.

Back at the Autobot base, the team was recollecting themselves after the battle. They were also trying to find the Nemesis so they could get Ratchet back.

"Have you found anything?" Wheeljack asked as he walked up to the screens where Optimus was standing.

"Unfortunately not. I cannot seem to lock on to his signal. It may be the fact that he is a femme, and the computer has not changed to accommodate that factor. We will just have to wait until the computer can find him," Optimus replied.

"I don't want to wait! I want to get him now! I wanna beat some Decepticon butt!" Wheeljack said. He was tired of waiting. He had waited long enough for Ratchet to come around, and now he was captured.

"I know you are tired of waiting. We all are. But, we cannot just go searching everywhere looking for him. We must be patient."

"Fine," Wheeljack said. I'll just look for him myself. I've still got the Jackhammer. I can just go out there and look for them. I'll stay above the clouds so nobody sees me. We have to be 'Robots in disguise', as Optimus said. I still don't like that rule.

Wheeljack then headed off to his ship to go look for them.

On the Nemesis, Ratchet was chained up in the holding cell. Megatron was staring down at him, with Knockout on his right and Soundwave on his left.

"Ahhh, you're even more beautiful close up, my little femme. You will be fun," Megatron said.

"I am not a femme! Okay, well I am. But I'm not supposed to be! Let me go, Megatron!" Ratchet yelled.

"And why would I do that, my precious?"

"BECAUSE I AM NOT A FEMME!"

"She must be delusional, Lord Megatron. That may be even more fun," Knockout said.

"Yes. But, I wonder where the Autobots picked her up. I don't remember detecting any energy signatures," Megatron replied.

"Maybe her ship was cloaked."

"Maybe. But it is still puzzling."

"I'm right here! And I wasn't picked up! I've been on Earth for a while now! Now let me go!" Ratchet yelled, now annoyed with them.

"That would explain it. But where was she hiding? We didn't find any new Cybertronian life signals," Megatron stated.

"That's because I'm not new! My name is Ratchet! I am not a femme!"

"Wait a minute. The Autobot medic? How did you become a femme? Oh well. That doesn't matter. This may prove to be even more useful than I thought."

"More useful, Lord Megatron? It's the Autobot medic! I can't believe I thought he was hot! Disgusting! How is this more useful!?" Knockout said, very disturbed.

"Do not question my wisdom, Knockout! And use your brain for once. Who would know all about the Autobots? Their strengths, their weaknesses, even their security codes? Who would know the most about their technology? About their base? Think about it, Knockout. This is the perfect opportunity."

"Ahhhh. I see. I must say, you are a genius, my lord. This is brilliant."

"Of course it is! I came up with it, didn't I?"

"Yes, yes you did, Lord Megatron."

"So, will you tell us what we want to know, or do we have to torture it out of you? It will probably be even easier, with you in a femme body. I hear that they are more vulnerable," Megatron said to Ratchet.

"Never!" Ratchet replied. He was not going to betray the Autobots. He would withstand any amount of torture if it meant protecting them. He was their medic, after all. Nobody should be hurt. Especially not because of him. He would never be able to live with himself. So he was going to keep fighting, even if it meant his death.

"Fine. Be that way. Knockout, he's yours."

"Thank you, Lord Megatron. It would be my pleasure," Knockout replied, an evil smirk crossing his face. He then pulled out his Energon prod. "Now, say ahhh."

Oh no! Cliffhanger! I know, I'm evil. Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Also, I need to figure out how to continue. And I'm really sorry I didn't get around to this sooner. I've just been so busy, with school and all. So, sorry. I hope you enjoyed. Please review. I want to know that you guys like it. And again, I'm sorry I didn't put this up sooner.
