chapter 4

Today Blackarachnia and Silverbolt took Cheetor outside for some fresh air. Cheetor was watching the clouds go by and the birds fly around. "Ooh." Cheetor said when a butterfly landed on his nose. Then it flew away.

"Cheetor seems to be enjoying himself." Silverbolt said.

"Yes he is." Blackarachnia said. "Whose my baby boy?" She told Cheetor said.

"You are being a good mother Blackarachnia. I bet you will be a good mother still when we have children of our own." Silverbolt said.

"You really think so?" she asked.

"I know so." Silverbolt said.

"You are a good father when we have children you will be just as good as you are now." she said.

"Thank you." he said.

Then who should appear none other than Rampage. "Well, well what do we have here?" Rampage asked looking at them.

"Oh no!" Blackarachnia said.

Cheetor began to make baby sounds. "Well look at that a sparkling tasty fresh new spark." Rampage said.

"Stay away from him." Silverbolt said.

"You cannot stop me from getting him." Rampage said. He ran towards them. Blackarachnia was knocked down and Cheetor fell out of her arms. Cheetor was crying. Rampage picked him up. He laughed evilly. Cheetor was screaming and crying Rampage scared him.

Then Depth charge came flying in. He gave Rampage a good swift punch. He grabbed Cheetor from Rampage. "Don't worry kid I will handle him." Depth charge said. He handed Cheetor to Silverbolt. "You guys might want to get out of here X and I play rough." Depth charge said.

Then Quickstrike appeared. Silverbolt handed Cheetor to Blackarachnia. "Take Cheetor and get out of here." Silverbolt said. Blackarachnia ran off with Cheetor. "I'll handle Quickstrike." Silverbolt said.

Blackarachnia was going as fast as she and Waspinator were chasing her. "Optimus come in!" she said into the com link.

"Blackarachnia what's wrong?" Optimus asked.

"Predacons attacked us. Depth charge and Silverbolt are fighting Rampage and Quickstrike. Inferno and Waspinator are chasing me. I think their after Cheetor." she said.

"Calm down we will send you help." Optimus said. "Rattrap and Rhinox go help Blackarachnia." Optimus said.

Blackarachnia hid in a cave. Cheetor was crying. "Shush little one." she said. Her soft words were not helping much to calm down the frightened child. Inferno and Waspinator saw the cave and were about to go in. Then Rhinox and Rattrap appeared. They sent those to Predacons running.

"Are you okay?" Rhinox asked.

"Yes we're fine." she said. Cheetor was still crying he was really scared.

"Can you make him stop crying?" Rattrap asked.

"Shut up Rattrap." Rhinox said.

"I've been trying to he's really scared and stressed." she said.

They made it back to the base. Cheetor was still crying he still frightened. The others were trying to calm him down by trying to play with him by shaking one of his plush toys in front of him.

Silverbolt and Depth charge came in they were beat up. "Silverbolt!" Blackarachnia said hugging him.

"Are you okay Blackarachnia?" Silverbolt asked.

"I'm fine." she said.

"How's Cheetor?" he asked.

"He's alright but really scared and still crying." Blackarachnia said.

"Rampage ran off but I'm afraid he might try to come after the kid again." Depth charge said.

Finally Cheetor calmed down and grabbed his manta ray toy that Silverbolt was shaking at him. "Looks like he finally calmed down." Optimus said.

Cheetor yawned after having a bottle. "Someone is sleepy." Rattrap said.

"He had such a scare and after all that crying I'm not surprised that he's tired." Rhinox said.

"It is getting a little late we better let him sleep." Blackarachnia said.

Cheetor was placed into his cradle and tucked in. A little while later everyone else went to bed.

Cheetor was safe. Blackarachnia woke up to check on him. Silverbolt did so too. Cheetor was fast asleep he was so tired they were sure nothing could wake him.

To be continued.
