THE DECEPTICON'S SONGBIRD
Chapter 4: A New Cage
Aleria sat in her new cage this one clearly bigger then the last one and it is on the far side of the Rec room the first cage having been broken by a fist fight between two mechs the previous night. She thought of these Decepticons as unruly and rude half the time but not as rude as some people. It was by luck that Megatron himself decided to keep her alive.
FLASHBACK
"Alright what is going on here?" Megatron demanded as he entered the Rec Room.
It was the third day that he had seen that human in the cage above the room and already it was trashed with the human shying away in the beams next to Laserbeak who did nothing. Being as the human did no harm he decided to let her live. As for the other mechs on the ground trying to get up...
"ALL OF YOU I DON'T CARE WHO STARTED IT CLEAN THIS MESS UP NOW! AND GET THAT HUMAN ANOTHER CAGE!"
END FLASHBACK
And that is how Aleria had gotten a new cage a bigger one at that. At least the mechs don't try to kill now that was Megatron's orders since it was to keep the rowdy mechs under control and to use her as some sort of short term entertainment since humans have a short lifespan compared to transformers. As they cleaned the mess up it was by order of Megatron that the Constructicons build Aleria a better cage then the remains of what was once her home.
It was good in a way at least she has a good bath unit and running water. Being against the wall helped as Hook finding it as something to do made it just right for a human. As Aleria sat down with something to think about as she looked at the mechs on the ground she began to think of a time before this. It was at this thoughts that someone else was thinking horrid thoughts about our said person.
FLASHBACK
"Now missy you think you got what it takes to sing?" said a very annoyed Simon as he tapped his foot on the ground.
Aleria stood at the microphone shaken beyond comprehension. Simon just glared as she began to sing her best to get into the contest. When she was done with the song Simon just shook his head.
"You know you said you can sing not screech! That sounded like someone screeching more then singing." He said while the other two judges Paula Abdul and their guest sat there watching both Paula and the guest glared daggers at the scared Aleria. She looked down as a single tear shed from her eyes.
"If you start crying on my stage then you will have to be dismissed for the rest of the season," he said and Aleria glared at him wishing that something would happen that would make him regret those words.
"I wish something would happen to you instead!" she shot back.
Just as she said that a large hand came crashing through the building and a large black monstrosity fell in front of Aleria making her scream.
END FLASHBACK
Simon shot out of bed panting and sweating. Touching his face his bandages still are in tact while the nurse just gave him a glare while she checked is I.V. when she was done she walked out. Simon just glared at her retreating rear end before muttering 'Bloody bitch,' he said as he cursed Aleria to hell.
She just had to make a wish that came true he said glaring at the wall.
They had not found the body of Aleria but they did find the bodies of Paula and the guest. Paula lived but the guest having been in the way when the robot fell was killed by the weight of the robot.
"Bloody Decepticons," he cursed again as he sat in bed.
"I wish I would never see one for a while,"
--NEMESIS--
Aleria sneezed as she walked around her new cage exploring every nook and cranny. As she looked around a shadow fell on her and she turned to see Skywarp staring down at her. She backed away a bit as he opened the door and gently took her out. She figured not to struggle for if they could do as much damage as she saw she could just imagine them squeezing her to death or stepping on her if she tried to escape. So she just let the giant take her gently as he placed her on the table and stroked her head.
She wondered why he took her out when she turned and saw Megatron he grabbed her and inspected her. For some reason she was more afraid of him then Skywarp as the tyrant glared at her with red optics that burned like fire.
"She is passable Skywarp and harmless from the looks of it she won't go anywhere. Just make sure that you take better care of your pets. She is to remain in the Rec Room unless otherwise and must be inspected by Hook every 30 solar cycles to make sure she is healthy. Besides she provides good entertainment for you rowdy bots during fueling." He said with a sinister smirk.
Skywarp gently took Aleria back from Megatron as the Tyrant walked back into the Rec room with the black and purple seeker in tow. When Megatron opened the door Soundwave finished supervising the cleanup. He saluted his leader as Megatron nodded to his communications officer.
"Where is Starscream?" he said to Soundwave.
"Starscream out on raid with Coneheads," was the reply.
"That's right I forgot that is what he is assigned," Megatron said shrugging feeling good today.
"How is the raid going?" Megatron asked
"Mission success point of arrival in 1.56 megacycles," Soundwave replied
"Excellent," he said and then turned to the ones finishing the cleanup.
"I want this place fully repaired by the time they return and if I find anymore brawling in the Rec Room; you will all find yourselves on cleanup duty in the waste disposal unit for the next 5 solar cycles, is that understood?" he said and they all saluted while the floor was just finished repairs.
Aleria watched as the tyrant walked out of the Rec Room while Soundwave concluded the cleanup. Rumble and Frenzy finished their area first and hopped back into Soundwave for some recharge. The others slowly left the Rec Room except Skywarp who has to clean Aleria from all the mess he has caused. She scooted back when he opened his hand and Aleria slowly walked onto it. There was no sense in running since he would only catch her again.
As he lifted her up he placed her down on one of the newly repaired tables and she saw the clothes that was gotten for her. She picked a pair of jeans with a black shirt while her old clothes which were ruined in the escapade were burned. Skywarp proceeded to clean the Energon that had gotten off of her with carefully grace. She laid there naked as he did this and he could see the burns that some of the Energon did to her skin.
Grabbing a salve that he had gotten from Mixmaster for this purpose he gently applied it to Aleria and she sighed as the cooling effect on her skin took over.
During the fight one of the Energon cubes had spilled on the human burning her in some places and most of her clothes. Since it is liquid energy the Energon burned right through and gotten on some of her skin. It was by luck that Mixmaster found a salve that was good for the human and sped up the healing process. It was one of his experiments that he does on his leisurely time. He figure that he give it to Skywarp for his pet.
Skywarp in question liked the fact that this human did not run away but stayed he guess the human was smarter then she looks.
Aleria in question stared up at her master and knew that he was in thought. She never bothered to ask what it was about since he was cleaning her up. In her mind she probably thought that Skywarp was thinking; Why didn't she run?
The answer was simple: where would she go if she ran? She saw where they are and figured that what's the sense. As Skywarp continued to gently swab the salve onto her skin she whimpered in pain as the burns hurt her. Tears came from her eyes as the last of it was applied and Skywarp held her gently to his chassis where his spark was to keep her warm. As the salve dried he gently carried her back to her cage but did not place her in.
"There, there pretty you are safe now," he cooed as she cried due to the burning sensation of the salve working its way to sooth her burns. She cried in his hands and he held her till the pain ebbed as the salve took effect.
Slowly Aleria was placed back into her cage and Skywarp closed the door.
As he walked out to turn out the lights he heard her whisper,
"Thank you Skywarp,"
Skywarp's optics brightened at that from his pet as he walked away.

Sorry if Skywarp is a little out of character but it was rather late when I wrote this so my brain was not there. So I hope I answered a few questions that a few of you asked me. Until next time aloha.
