Chapter 8

Brothers

Hellion POV

I stood beside the berth the Cybreian was on, conversing with my father throught the bond on who she might be. I had told him her features and he said he didn't recognize the description. I hoped that when she awoke, I could ask her who she is. I looked up when I heard a voice I did not think I'd hear and walked to where the others were gathered.

"Wheeljack!?" I said.

"Hellion? Good to hear your voice again brother!" he said, "Last I heard, you and your team were keeping Megatron and his 'Cons off the escape ships."

"We'll have plenty of time to catch up when you arrive, brother." I said, "But be warned, the Combaticons are here."

The link cut before he could answer, but I had a feeling he was surprised. I ran my servos over where the blast wound from protecting Arianne was. I hoped Vortex had given Brawl my warning. I would enjoy turning him into a pile of molten scrap with Phoenixfyre. But I would wait until my team was rescued, so we could show the Combaticons that we are superior.

I decided to go for a drive while I waited for Wheeljack to arrive. I looked over at Arianne and nodded at her. She understood the gesture as I transforming for her to get in.

"I'm going for a drive, notify me when Wheeljack arrives." I said.

Once we were out of the base I turned my radio on as 'Frontline' by 'Pillar' started playing. Hearing it reminded me of my team, and of the battles we fought. I would make Shockwave pay for what he's done.

As I drove I noticed a signal appear on my scanners. If they could right now, my optics would've widened - it was Ironhide! I drove towards the signal, hoping I'd reach him before the 'Cons.

"Where are we going Hellion?" she said.

"I've detected an Autobot." I said.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"Ironhide, a veteran, and a weapons expert." I said.

Once I reached where the signal was, I saw Ironhide. He was surrounded by the offlined bodies of many Vehicons. After letting Arianne out I transformed and walked over to him after putting her on my shoulder.

"Ironhide!" I yelled, "It's been a long time!"

I saw him turn and his optics widened, disbelief on his faceplate.

"Hellion!?" he yelled.

I nodded, and it seemed he noticed Arianne. Seeing his confusion I introduced her.

"This is Arianne, my human charge." I said, "Arianne, this is Ironhide, a good friend of mine."

I saw him nodded and commed Ratchet for a groundbridge. He looked a bit surprised as it appeared nearby and I gestured for him to go through it. Once we were through I was greeted by the sight of Wheeljack. Grinning I walked up to him, putting a servo on his shoulder.

"It's been a long time brother!" I said.

"That it has, brother." he said.

As he turned to me I felt as if something was off. He seemed...different somehow. I remembered Ironhide, and looked back, gesturing for him to come forward.

"Look who came as well, everyone." I said.

I grinned as my fellow Autobots welcomed him, and I walked to what Miko had taken to calling 'My corner'. I chuckled, she amused me. She reminded me of...well...me, when I was young. I looked towards the Cybreian as she mumbled something in her sleep that sounded like 'Soundwave'.

I was curious, how did she know of Soundwave? Was she like me, from an alternate dimension - that wasn't Cybres? I leaned against the wall and fell into a light recharge, I had not done so for a few days, opting to test out Phoenixfyre.

When I awoke...I saw Wheeljack with his blaster out...and Miko in his other servo.

"Wheeljack!?" I yelled, "What are you doing!?"

"That's not Jackie!" Bulkhead said.

My optics widened at that, and then narrowed. Take the form of MY brother would he!? It was go time.

"You rotten 'Con, how DARE you impersonate my brother!" I yelled.

I readied my flamethrowers, but then remembered he had Miko. I deactivated them, not wanting her to be hurt. I watched as he slinked into the groundbridge...only to collide with what I hoped was the real Wheeljack.

I watched them as they readied their swords and circled one another. I grinned when I saw the, likely real, Wheeljack easily win. I watched Bulk pick Makeshift up and toss him into the groundbridge - also seeing one of Wheeljack's explosives attached to him.

I walked up and patted Wheeljack on the back.

"Good to see you, the REAL you, brother." I said.

"Good to see you too, brother." he said.

We talked, and when I told him what happend to my team I saw him frown. Much like Bulk, he said we'd have to mount a rescue. I nodded, and he then said he planned on traveling more. But not before Miko took a picture of them both.

Once Wheeljack had left, and everyone went to recharged in their quarters, I saw the Cybreian begin to wake up. Walking over, I waited for her to awake completely. I did not, however, expect to get punched in the faceplate when she woke up. Staggering back I looked up, seeing an enraged femme.

Slag, this was NOT a good day to be me.

And that was Chapter 8, hope you all enjoyed! And I think this mystery femme's identity might be obvious now.
