Cybertron?! 3
Transformation and abandon
Ratchet's point of view
I watched as Sirius rose from my servos. "The contact to the energon is inflicting upon her systems." I whispered. "She'll be changed." Optimus said beside me. Sirius was lowered to the ground and the glow that was around her faded.
Optimus gently picked her up and held her in his arms. Her optics didn't open. I walked forward and started to check her systems. I looked up at her when I heard a soft whirl.
My point of view
My eyes fluttered open and I looked around. "Ratchet? Optimus?" I asked as I looked at them. "You're smaller." I said and saw as they started to smile. "No, you're taller, and Cybertronian." Ratchet said as he smiled and I looked down at myself.
I was blue, silver, black, and red. I was in Optimus's arms. I looked around, my vision slightly blurry. I shook my helm and was able to see clearly. Optimus gently sat me down and I fell. Optimus helped me up and I shook my helm. I was puny. I was taller than a human, but smaller than Arcee. I looked to be about 14 feet tall, just to Arcee's waist.
"better than 6 foot." I muttered. I tried to walk, but fell back. I shook my helm and got up from on my bottom. I heard Lila snickering and growled at her and she shut up. I was only 7, but was taller than most 15 year olds when I was human, 6 foot. Arcee was smiling and she walked over to me. She knelt down to me and I looked at her.
"Hello Sirius." She said and I smiled and said, "Hi Arcee." My voice was higher pitched and a little mechanical. I looked around and saw how Optimus watched over me. "Let's go get you some energon." Arcee's voice pulled me from my thought. She put her servo out and I held onto it as we walked down the hall and I stumbled a few times, but started to get the hang of it.
She watched me as I walked down the hall with her. "Arcee." "Yes Sirius?" I hesitated then said, "Will you help me?" "With what?" she asked. "Will you be like my… carrier figure?" I asked uncertain. She looked down to me then smiled and replied, "If you need one." "I do. Now that I'm Cybertronian, my mother can't watch over me." I stated.
We walked to the energon storage and she said, "Scrap, I don't know the new code." "I do." I said and opened the door. She looked at me surprised then we walked in. Arcee gave me a cube and I drank half of it. "Where will I be recharging?" I asked and Arcee said, "You could with me." I nodded and we walked out, my energon cube in servo and other servo in Arcee's.
We walked into the main room to see my mother clearly angry. I held onto Arcee's servo tighter. "I cannot tolerate this!" June said and I hid behind Arcee a little. "June." she said and June looked to us. She motioned to me and June's eyes softened. "I'm sorry Sirius." She said and I hid more behind Arcee.
Someone gently picked me up from behind and I turned to see Optimus. I held onto him and he stroked my back. I put my helm to Optimus's chassis. "Clearly by her human age if we divide the age by 2 (there is 720 days in one Cybertronian year) she would only be 3 years 6 months old." Ratchet said. "A sparkling." Optimus stated.
Ratchet nodded. I held onto Optimus tighter. "She'll stay at base night and day." Optimus said to June. "And where will she sleep?!" June retorted, obviously mad. I whimpered and leaned into Optimus. "She'll be recharging in my room if she wants." Arcee said as she walked to me and Optimus. She smiled at me as she held out her servo. I grasped it.
Optimus gently sat me down and I walked over to 'Bee, almost falling. He bent down and held out his servos. I fell into them and hugged him. He hugged back. "Hi Sirius." "Hi 'Bee." I replied. 'Bee let me go as Ratchet walked forward. "Let's go to the med-bay. I need to check some things." Ratchet said as he held out his servo as he smiled.
I slipped mine in his and we walked to the med-bay. I scrambled up the side of the medical berth and sat down. It took 10 minutes for him to check me, but I didn't mind. Ratchet helped me off the berth and I said, "Thank you for saving me on Cybertron." "You were only a sparkling, I had to." Ratchet replied.
We walked into the main room to see June had gone, we could see because her car wasn't in the base. Smokescreen walked up to me and Ratchet said, "Don't hurt her or you'll have a dent in your helm… and I won't fix it." Smokescreen nodded and held out his servo.
I took it as I slipped my other from Ratchet's. "I've got a small ball we can play with in the training room." Smokescreen said and I nodded happily and we walked to the training room, Smokescreen playing with me as we walked and I laughed. We walked into the training room and I saw the ball already there.
Smokescreen picked it up and I sat down and he rolled the ball to me. I bounced it back. I smiled and Smokescreen smiled back. 'Bee came in and sat down on the side and I bounced the ball to him. He batted it to Smokescreen. I laughed as he bounced it to me and bounced it back. He bounced it to 'Bee and he bounced it to me.
I smiled. Bulk', Jackie, and Ratchet then walked in. I laughed and tossed the ball to Jackie. He caught it and tossed it back. Ratchet knelt behind me and tickled me and I squealed and started to laugh and the ball bounced away from me. "Hey Ratch!" Bulk' called and Ratchet looked up and got hit with the ball.
I giggled and Ratchet said, "Here you go, Bulkhead!" Bulk' got nailed in the helm and he shook his helm as I caught the ball. I laughed and bounced the ball with both servos. I bounced the ball to 'Bee and he hit Smokescreen with it. I giggled.
Ultra Magnus, Optimus, and Arcee then walked in with the humans. The ball was bounced to me and Smokescreen looked at me encouragingly. I thought a minute then threw the ball at Ultra Magnus. He ducked and Optimus got nailed in the face plates. "Oopsy." I said and clasped my servos together and leaned forward. Optimus looked to me then smiled. I smiled back.
He tossed the ball to me and I tossed it up so Ratchet could catch it. He caught it and threw it at Jackie. He gasped and got hit in the face plates. I squealed in delight and clapped my servos. I wandered over to a corner after a while and fell into recharge.
Ratchet's point of view
I noticed Sirius had wandered off and looked around for her. I smiled as I saw her in a corner and walked over to her. I carefully picked her up and walked over to Arcee. "Arcee, Sirius needs some recharge." I said and she carefully took Sirius from me and walked out. I was then hit with the ball. I growled and said, "Who did that?" Smokescreen smiled and I nailed him in the face plates.
Arcee's point of view
I walked into my berth room and gently lay Sirius on the berth I had. I then walked out. I walked into the training room to get nailed with the ball and glared at Ratchet who smiled widely. I threw the ball at him and he ducked and Smokescreen got hit. I laughed and Smokescreen hit me with the ball.
5 hours later
My point of view
I woke up and looked around. I was on a berth in someone's berth room. I saw a picture frame that had a picture of Cliffjumper, then one with who I supposed was Tailgate. "This is Arcee's room." I concluded. I looked around and rubbed my optics.
I slid off the berth and walked out. No one was in the training room anymore. I walked to the main room and gasped when I saw Bumblebee coming through the bridge, but what was different was he looked horrified.
I stayed in the hallway and watched as Ratchet scanned him. "You're missing your T-cog." Ratchet stated and I gulped. 'Bee said, "Now I can't transform!" I heard a light thud and turned to see Optimus behind me. "Sirius? What are you doing out here?" he asked as he picked me up and walked into the room.
Everyone turned to us. "Are you alright, 'Bee?" I asked and 'Bee nodded. I reached out to him and 'Bee took me gently from Optimus. I hugged him and he whirled, "Thank you Sirius." I smiled and gave him another hug.
'Bee sat me down and walked off. I looked at him then back to everyone. I saw Skylark and hid behind Optimus. He gently picked me up and cradled me in his arms. June suddenly burst in. I looked down from Optimus's arms and June didn't even glance at me. "Who wants her, because you can have her!" June said as she slammed some papers on a table.
Optimus and Arcee looked at each other and Optimus said, "I will be Sirius's sire, and Arcee will act as her carrier." Optimus handed me to Arcee then transformed. He activated his holoform and signed the papers.
June nodded and took the papers up and walked down the steps. Lila got in front of her and said, "If Sirius goes, I go." "You will not go. You didn't turn Cybertronian." June said matter of factly and sped out.
Arcee sat me down and I walked to Ratchet. I started to cry and held onto his leg. He carefully picked me up and stroked my back. I held onto him, afraid he would disappear from me. I heard as Ratchet made soft clicks and whirls in my audio receptor.
I rested my helm on Ratchet's shoulder and waved as he walked out with me. Ratchet walked into his berth room and sat down and gently sat me in his lap. "There, it's going to be fine. We're going to take care of you. We're your family now." He soothed and I hugged him and said, "Don't leave me." "I won't." Ratchet reassured.
I rested my helm on Ratchet's chassis and felt as my optic lids grew heavy. I let my optics close and listened to the comforting hum of Ratchet's systems.
Ratchet's point of view
I looked down at Sirius to see her in a deep and peaceful recharge. I caressed her helm and gently lay her on the berth. I walked to my storage space and took out my blanket from when I was a sparkling. I lay it on top of her then lay down beside her and held her close as I too fell into recharge.
Optimus's point of view
It had been about 3 hours since I had seen Sirius or Ratchet. I walked down the hall and into Ratchet's room. I saw Ratchet and Sirius on his berth, deep in recharge. I smiled lightly and walked out. I walked down the hall for a while then to Bumblebee's room.
I knocked and Bumblebee answered almost immediately. "Hello Optimus." "Hello Bumblebee." Bumblebee motioned for me to come in and I did. "Am I in trouble?" I was surprised by the sudden question. "I would have to answer that with a question. Did you do something wrong?" I said.
Bumblebee shook his helm then asked, "If I am not in trouble, why are you here?" "As of your predicament I would like for you to help Ratchet watch Sirius while the rest of us are on missions." I stated.
Bumblebee's optics seemed to brighten up and he whirled, "It would be an honor." I nodded and thanked him then started out. "Optimus." I turned to Bumblebee and said, "Yes Bumblebee?" "Thank you for helping me and acting as a sire to me." he said and I smiled lightly and walked to him.
"I've already become a sire, another child wouldn't hurt." I said lightly and Bumblebee looked up at me. I nodded before he could ask. He immediately latched onto me.
My point of view
I opened my optics and looked around. Ratchet was next to me and his arm was across my frame. I gently slipped to the floor and walked out, the blanket that was on me in my servos. I walked to the main room and checked the time, 12:36.
I rubbed my optics and went to a corner of the main room and covered myself up with the blanket. I then felt as my optic lids closed.
Optimus's point of view
I couldn't get into recharge. I got up to take a walk around base, check the system. I stopped at Ratchet's room to check on Sirius. I looked in and saw she wasn't there. My spark started to pound. I knew she wouldn't go to anyone's berth room so I started at the training room.
She wasn't there or at the energon storage. I checked the med-bay, but she wasn't there either. I was praying that she was in the main room. I walked in and started to look around. I checked under the desks and when I saw she wasn't there I could feel my spark pulsing faster with fear.
I was getting frantic. I looked around again and let out a vent of air when I saw Sirius in a corner. I silently and quickly walked over to her. I gently picked her up and walked to my berth room. I gently sat her on the berth and lay down next to her.
Before I got into recharge, I heard a soft whirl.
My point of view
I woke up and looked around. I was in another berth room, but it was bigger than the others I had been in. I turned over and latched onto Optimus when I saw him. "Hush, it's alright. You gave me a scare when I saw you weren't in Ratchet's berth room." Optimus whispered to me and I said, "I'm sorry Optimus. I was restless."
Optimus chuckled and said, "It is alright. You are safe and that is what matters. But you weren't the only one who was restless." I snuggled into Optimus's chassis and he brought me closer. I whirled once then fell into recharge.
7:15 am, 7 hours later
Ratchet's point of view
I woke up to see Sirius gone. I got scared. I walked out to see Optimus coming out of his berth room with Sirius following, the blanket in her servos. I let out a vent of air and walked to the main room after them. I walked in to see Optimus setting Sirius on his desk.
"Good morning Optimus, Sirius." I greeted and they turned to me and surprisingly said in unison, "Hello Ratchet." I remembered that Rafael needed to come here and said, "I'll go pick up Rafael." I saw Sirius's optics light up and said, "When I pick him up I'll drive as fast as I can." Sirius clapped and I transformed and sped out.
My point of view
I watched as Ratchet drove out then looked up at Optimus. I saw Skylark behind Optimus and started to cower down. "Sirius? Are you alright?" Optimus asked and I pointed behind him. He turned and growled as he picked me up; Skylark was a little taller than Optimus if not the same height. "Seen the doc'? I've got a problem with my back struts." He said as he walked forward and I tried to hide.
"Who's this?" he asked and I leaned against Optimus. "Sirius. She was transformed after you had walked out. She is my child now." Optimus said as he held my helm in his servo. "She looks even prettier now." Skylark said as Ratchet came in. Ratchet transformed and hit Skylark in the back of the helm, causing Skylark to temporarily go offline.
I clapped as I giggled and Ratchet tickled me. Raf was on the platform and watching. I squealed and tried to get away from Ratchet. Optimus sat me down and I ran from Ratchet. He caught up to me and swept me up from the ground and I laughed. The others came in as Ratchet tossed me into the air playfully and I giggled.
Ratchet tried to toss me again and I clung to him while laughing. I looked to everyone upside down and waved. They were smiling. Ratchet lay me down on the ground and I sat up and shook my helm. I got up and walked to Optimus. I held onto his leg and he patted my helm.
June drove in and I hid behind Optimus. "Sirius!" I heard delight in 'Bee's voice and looked to him and smiled. I ran over to him and he picked me up in a big hug. I watched as Jack and Lila got out before June did. I waved to them. Bulkhead suddenly came in with Miko.
I clasped onto 'Bee as June stepped out of her car. "Bumblebee, could you take Sirius to play?" Optimus asked and 'Bee nodded and walked out with me. We walked into the training room and 'Bee sat me down. We started to play with the ball and 'Bee said, "Optimus adopted me, I'm your big brother!" I cheered and tossed the ball high into the air.
'Bee caught it and I squealed as he gently hit me with it. I threw the ball at him and he fell back. I giggled and walked over to him. I jumped onto his chassis and he shot up and picked me up from off of his chassis. I squealed as he started to tickle me and tried to get away.
'Bee kicked the ball on accident and I broke out of his grasp and ran after it. It hit a button then fell into my servos. "Sirius! Get out of there!" 'Bee said and I turned and screamed. The holoforms had activated and were coming at me. I dropped the ball and started to run to 'Bee.
I tripped and fell onto the ground. 'Bee ran to me and picked me up, falling in the process. Optimus and Arcee were the first to charge in and they shot the holoforms down. I whimpered and cowered in 'Bee's arms. He rocked back and forward.
Optimus, Arcee, and Ratchet hurried over to me. Optimus carefully took me and held me close. "Ratchet, disable the training system." Optimus ordered and Ratchet set to work. I whimpered as I held onto Optimus.
Optimus stroked my back and I saw Arcee by us. She held her servo out and I grasped it scared. Arcee gently took me and I started to cry. She walked out and I looked to Optimus and cried, "DADDY!" Arcee stopped and I reached out to Optimus.
He lifted me from Arcee's grasp and I buried my helm in his chassis. I held on tightly to Optimus and felt as he started to walk out. I heard 3 sets of pedesteps behind us, but I wasn't going to look. I closed my optics and whimpered. Optimus's servo went to the back of my helm and gently stroked it and I nuzzled deeper into his embrace.
"I'm right here, Sirius." He whispered and I smiled. Optimus sat me on a medical berth and I looked at him confused. He motioned to my legs and I whimpered, they were gashed. Ratchet walked up and started to mend my wounds. I looked over and saw Optimus talking to Arcee.
Arcee's point of view
"Arcee, I want Bumblebee and Bulkhead to go to the arctic. There has been an energon signal there and I wish to know what it is. Bumblebee will be fine without his T-cog there." Optimus told me and I nodded and walked out. "Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Optimus wants you to investigate an energon signal in the arctic." I said and they got in front of the bridge as I opened it. They then walked through.
My point of view
Ratchet finished repairing me and helped me off the berth. I hugged him in thanks then wandered over to Optimus. I held his servo as we walked out. We walked into the main room to see Arcee closing the ground bridge. "Hello Arcee." I said and she smiled.
"Hello Sirius." She replied. "Where's 'Bee?" I asked when I didn't see him. "He's in the arctic with Bulk'." Arcee said and I nodded. I walked around the base. "Sirius. You need some energon." I squealed as Ratchet swept me up off the ground and told me this.
Ratchet and I walked to the energon storage and he opened the door. He grabbed a cube of energon for me and I took it up and started to drink. I left half of it and Ratchet stroked my back. He walked out and to the main room to see 'Bee and Bulk' back. I started to squirm and Ratchet sat me down and I ran to 'Bee.
He whirled and picked me up. I giggled then looked at what they found. "What is it?" I asked as I walked over to it after 'Bee sat me down. "Whoa!" I said and jumped back when information past over my vision.
"Are you alright?" I heard Optimus ask as he came up to me quickly and I said, "There's information on what this thing is in front of my vision. It says it's a container, but not for what." the information ended and I watched as 'Bee, Optimus, Bulk', and Smokescreen walked it out.
They came back and Bulk' and 'Bee started the de-freezing process. Bulk' started to protest, but Ratchet set him straight. "I've always wanted to see snow." I heard Raf say and turned to see Optimus and Arcee about to go through the bridge. "I would invite you along Rafael, but the temperatures are too extreme, even for we Autobots." Daddy replied.
"Then why do you go?" I asked as I walked up to him. "We are going to see if we can find the origin of the container that was found." He replied. He started to walk through, but stopped as I picked up Raf. "But, I will bring you 2 back a snow ball." He said and me and Raf smiled and said, "That would be awesome, thanks."
He nodded and he and Arcee walked through. I sat Raf on the platform, barely reaching it. The bridge suddenly fizzled out and I saw sparks come from the ground bridge controls. Ratchet pulled away as it sparked. I walked over and asked, "What's wrong with the system?" Skylark, Ultra Magnus, Smokescreen, and Wheeljack were out on patrol for the day.
"I don't know, Sirius." Was his reply. "Bumblebee! Bulkhead! Over here, now!" Ratchet called. They walked over and Ratchet said, "Something's wrong with the ground bridge. I need those panels moved, chop, chop." I giggled as Ratchet said the last part and did a funny action. "Just because boss bot's gone doesn't mean you get to boss us around." Bulk' protested.
Ratchet was about to say something when I stepped forward. "Then since I'm Optimus's daughter maybe you'll listen to me. Move the panels so we can figure out what's wrong with the ground bridge. If it's something major and Optimus and Arcee can't get back, we need to know that." I said and they immediately set to work.
Ratchet patted my helm and said, "That's a good sparkling." I smiled up at him. I walked off and saw Raf holding something. "Hey Raf. Whatcha got?" I asked and Raf showed me a little metal figure. "Autobot pet perhaps?" I asked as I stood up and Raf shrugged. We walked into the main room to see Ratchet pulling out some sort of technology chip.
"I wonder what could have done this." He said. "Hey guys!" Raf said as I walked over to the Autobots. "We're busy… AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ratchet and the other 2 quickly jumped back when they saw Raf. "Scraplet, scraplet!" Bulk' said and I cocked my helm to the side. 'Bee and Bulk' aimed their blasters at Raf and I got in front of him with Jack and Miko on either side of me.
"What's a scraplet?" Raf asked and I moved from in front of him and looked down at him. "The most deadly vermin ever to live on the face of Cybertron." Ratchet growled as 'Bee pulled me away from Raf. "You mean this guy? You 'bots are huge! Scrappy here's tiny." Miko said.
The little creature woke up and looked around. Information past across my vision for a minute and I whimpered and said, "Ratchet's right. My information says so." The thing flew at me and 'Bee and started to eat at 'Bee. I whimpered as I fell back. The thing flew from him after it was knocked away and started to eat at me.
I screamed and kicked and Ratchet knocked it away and picked me up. I watched from his arms as Raf started to beat the scraplet with a crow bar. Jack grabbed it and said, "Easy there killer." Ratchet sat me down and started to check me and 'Bee. "I'm so sorry 'Bee, Sirius. Will you forgive me?" me and 'Bee nodded and Raf quickly turned to Ratchet and asked, "Are they going to be okay?"
"Bumblebee will be fine, just mesh wounds, but Sirius will need to be watched, one of her cables was snapped." Ratchet replied and I whimpered. "Sparklings were targeted the most, so Sirius will need to be watched throughout the time." Ratchet said. "Well, scraplet destroyed game over. Right?" "Most certainly not. With scraplets there is never just one. And I have a feeling I know how they got here."
Ratchet picked me up and we walked down the hall. We went into the room that had the container and Ratchet shone his welder in it. "It's a trap, a scraplet trap." Ratchet stated. "They were used back on Cybertron, then when full, shipped off into space left to be forgotten. This one landed here in the arctic, where the extreme temperatures kept them in stasis." Ratchet concluded as he put his welder away.
"And we brought the thaw. So now they're ready to feed." Jack said. "So how many are we talking about?" Jack asked and Ratchet replied, "Thousands. Millions even." I whimpered and cowered in his arms. "Until the infestation is gone I cannot properly treat poor Sirius." Ratchet said as he held me closer and looked down at me.
We walked out and Ratchet kept me to him. "Ratchet to Optimus. Optimus, can you hear me?" Ratchet tried to contact Daddy, but he didn't answer. "Slag the scraplets; they've gotten into the comm. link system." Ratchet stated as he hit the table with his servo. I leaned into him and he looked down at me and calmed down.
We heard grinding and I whimpered. "The scraplet infestation is well under way." Ratchet said solemnly. Ratchet sat me down and said to me as he handed me the blanket and energon cube, "Stay under this table." I nodded and watched as he walked over to Bulk' and 'Bee and started to drink some more of my energon.
"I say let's get out of here and let the scraplets keep the base!" Bulkhead said. "Evacuation is not an option. With the ground bridge down Arcee and Optimus will not be able to make it home, and perish." I whimpered and Ratchet looked to me then said, "I do not know how Sirius will be, knowing they didn't survive because we ran."
"Bulkhead! You never run!" Miko accused. "Miko you haven't seen what I scraplet can do, I have! They start with the juicy parts, fuse by fuse, circuit by circuit, until nothing's left, not even your optics." Bulk' retorted and I made a high pitched, scared squeal. "Bulkhead! You are scaring Sirius!" Ratchet growled.
I whimpered and Ratchet bent down to me with 'Bee. I started to cry and Ratchet wiped the tears away and 'Bee said, "We'll get them back." I nodded and he patted my helm and they stood back up. "Let us help. We're not made of metal." Raf said. "Normally I think of your fleshiness as a disadvantage, but in this circumstance it would lead as an advantage… very well." Ratchet stated.
"Okay, one human per 'bot. Miko and Raf will go with 'Bee and bulkhead while I stay with Ratchet while he fixes the bridge and Lila will guard Sirius." Jack stated. I covered myself with the blanket so the scraplets wouldn't be able to see me. 'Bee, Bulk', Miko, and Raf walked out as Ratchet walked to the control system computer chip holder in the floor.
I sat there for 7 minutes until I heard Jack and Lila say, "They can fly! You never said they could fly!" I covered myself up as I saw the scraplets and peaked out barely and lightly whined when I saw Ratchet being ate at. Unconsciously, my blasters activated and I started to shoot from my blanket at the scraplets and hit a lot.
"Jack! Fire extinguisher!" Ratchet stated and Jack picked it up and started to spray Ratchet. The scraplets dropped dead. I crawled out when the scraplets were all on the floor and to Ratchet. "Ratchet." I murmured and I held onto him. I screamed when I felt chewing and Jack quickly sprayed me. The scraplet dropped dead.
"Ratchet! Get out the medical kit. We're leaking energon like… whoa!" I scrambled back to my shelter and covered up when I heard the sound of scraplets flying. I covered my optics when I saw them go to the others.
I peeked out and started to shoot at the scraplets and hit a lot of them. The scraplets were soon dead and I came out of hiding. I screamed when I was chased by scraplets and ran, as best as I could since one of my legs wouldn't work because a scraplet snapped my cable, and latched onto Ratchet. Jack and Bulk' killed them.
I whimpered when I realized I had been surrounded by scraplets while I was in hiding. Jack asked, "Is that it?" We heard grinding as we leaned against the wall and Ratchet said, "Hardly, those were just scouts." 'Bee dropped his helm and said, "I don't like being a scout anymore!" "They know we're here." Ratchet said.
I held onto him as he said this. "Can we do anything to help?" Raf asked. Ratchet started to ponder and said, "If the ground bridge is down… think Ratchet, think! Ah! Then there must be a leak in the energon fuel line!" "Where do we find it?" Raf asked and Jack said, "And how do we fix it?" Ratchet started to explain and they walked out.
"If…" Bulk' looked at me before he continued then said, "When… we get the ground bridge running, we let are guys in and send the scraplets out." "But we must send the scraplets out first. If Optimus and Arcee come in the scraplets will have no reason to leave. Optimus and Arcee will be fresh meat. We need bait." Ratchet supplied.
The humans came in saying, "Ground bridge fixed!" "Start her up!" Miko shouted. Ratchet got up and turned it on. He then fell. I whimpered and got to his side. I heard the scraplets and one bit me. I shot it dead. "Bait huh?" Bulk' asked himself as he looked at me and got up. He walked to the ground bridge as the scraplets came in.
"Hey! Over here! You want some, come and get it!" Bulk' called as he waved and Ratchet covered me and 'Bee as Bulk' ran through. I could see the scraplets follow Bulk' through the bridge. I heard the flying sound stop. Ratchet uncovered 'Bee and me.
We watched as Optimus, Arcee, and Bulk' walked in. Ratchet started up and he and Bulk' got 'Bee on a medical berth. He first treated himself so he could fix the others, but just enough to function. He treated Optimus and Arcee then told Raf, Miko, and Jack how to help 'Bee, Bulk' and watch the rates of Arcee and Optimus.
Ratchet then got up and walked to me. He gently picked me up and I buried my helm in his chassis. He sat down and started to patch me up. When Ratchet finished I reached out to Optimus. He gently took me and I whirled, "I was scared." "It's alright." He replied. He looked to Ratchet and said, "You should get some rest yourself, Ratchet. You saved a lot of lives today."
Ratchet smiled and said, "It wasn't all my doing. We're just lucky this infestation happened… on a Saturday." Miko suddenly screamed and Raf and Jack got in front of her and said, "Scraplet?" "SPIDER! Is it on me, ah, ah! Get it off!" Miko said. "Uh, did she just scream like a little girl?" Bulk' asked.
Optimus sat me down and I wandered to his room. I screamed and ran back to the main room. I ran to Optimus and buried my helm in his leg and whimpered. "What is wrong?" he asked and Ratchet said, "She's been attacked." I looked down to see new wounds.
Scraplets came in and I cowered down. "Those are different, they attack only sparklings." Bulk' said and I wailed. Everyone stood in front of me and Optimus said, "No scraplet gets past." I was so scared that I couldn't move.
I suddenly glowed. I walked to Optimus's side after the glow stopped, no one had seen. I activated my blasters and shot at the scraplets and hit them directly. They were soon no more. I deactivated my blasters and held onto Optimus. Everyone was looking at me.
Skylark, Wheeljack, Ultra Magnus, and Smokescreen suddenly came in and jumped as they transformed. Ratchet picked me up and fixed me up again. I smiled and thanked him then held Optimus's servo. He looked down at me and smiled, I smiled back.
It had been 7 days since the scraplet infestation and I was currently in my room I shared with my daddy and me and Raf were building a human, Cybertronian sized computer system. I had gotten bored and wanted to play my games. Also lately, Ratchet volunteered to be my grandpa, which I accepted happily.
We finished and I turned it on. I typed in the password and cheered when it worked. All my files came up and I jumped around. Raf laughed. I stopped and said, "Hey, you've gotten to play on your computer, now I get to play on mine." Raf smiled and nodded. I looked at the door when it opened. "We got it to work, Daddy." I said and Optimus smiled and nodded.
He patted my helm and I said, "I'm going for a run." Optimus nodded and said, "Just stay close to base." I nodded and walked out. I transformed to a wolf and ran off. I wasn't just going for a run. I ran and ran until the 'cons finally came up. I transformed and held up my servos and said, "I surrender, to lord Megatron."
I hated saying "lord Megatron." But I had to in order to be taken away. Lucky me no one knew I was doing this. The only reason I am is so I could get the star saber and forge. They took me to the Nemesis and Megatron quickly contacted the Autobots and told them they had me. I just rolled my optics and thought, 'Yeah, not for long.'
