Chapter 9

"YOU LOST KARAI, AGAIN?" Ratchet was furious.

"Prowl, can you tell us what happened?" Optimus asked

"When we were heading back Blizwing came and I told Karai to run and when she was out of sight I heard her scream and Blizwing knocked me out and his partner must have taken Karai." Prowl hung his helm. "I can't believe I lost her again."

"Don't beat yourself up about it Prowl." Bulkhead said.

"HOW? I've lost my bondmate and my sparkling!"

"Are you two bonded?" Ratchet asked.

"Yes. I can't feel her pain but I can feel her emotions." Prowl said quietly.

"What is she feeling now?" Bulkhead asked.

"Fear."

"Don't worry Prowl, we'll get her back." Optimus said. Prowl was trying to send Karai soothing feelings.


Karai was lying on her side with her back spikes retracted because her stomach was too big to lie face down. She felt another sharp pain in her back where her fourth spike used to be before Shockwave cut it off while she was asleep. Then Megatron walked in with a small cube of energon and he threw it at her. Karai managed to catch it with one hand.

"Drink it. The sparkling will need it." Megatron smiled and walked out. Karai tasted the energon and it was medical grade. She drank it slowly and threw the case to the side of the cave.

"Prowl could probably take this kind of pain. Why can't I?" Karai asked herself as she lay back on the ground. But this relief was short lived when Megatron came back, pinned her against the wall high enough so her thin legs couldn't touch the ground and kissed her. His glossa slid into her mouth and mad it trace the surface of her fangs. Karai winced as his glossa slid over the sensitive venom sacks in the roof of her mouth.

"You enjoying this?" He asked mockingly and Karai shook her head "Well to bad!" Megatron grabbed her arft and pushed deeper into the kiss. Karai couldn't fight back because of Megatron's previous threat to the sparkling. Now the only thing holding Karai against the wall was Megatron's chassis as he put his other servo behind Karai's back and started to feel for the sensitive spots. He then found what felt like a wing bud. Karai used to have wings but Catlinet cut those off years ago. Karai started to cry. She was bonded with Prowl and Megatron was doing this of all things to her. He finally let go of Karai and let her drop to the ground.

"Don't expect me to be so kind to you next time." He said with that evil smirk on his ugly faceplates. Karai's breathing was very gasped and uneven. She couldn't believe what he had just done to her. Still crying she lay on her side again.


Prowl was in his and Karai's berthroom trying to speak to Karai though their bond.

'Don't worry Karai, I'll find you.' Prowl said though the bond. He felt Karai crying.

'Prowl...I can't take this anymore.' Karai cried.

'What did they do to you?' But he got no response.


Karai was lying down still as Megatron, Blizwing, Catlinet and Shockwave slowly came from behind her. Megatron grabbed her horns and pushed them to the ground. Catlinet grabbed Karai's arms and pinned them in front of her and Blizwing caught her legs and held them still. Shockwave came in last with a box that looked a lot like a medical kit, but Karai new better. Shockwave pulled out a scalpel and started to cut away a section of her back. Tears started to flow out of Karai's eyes again as he slowly cut through the flesh and took out the segment he just cut. As soon as they all jumped off her, she started to snarl at them, but stopped when Megatron pointed his fusion cannon at her stomach. She just couldn't lose the sparkling.
