A/N: Hey guys, just a heads up but due to some unfortunate and emotionally draining events happening this week combined with little writing time updates may well stop until next week. I might squeak one in Thursday but I do not know.

Thank you for your continued reading of this story! I hope it will continue to please and you have fun reading it!

"We're refugees who left Cybertron when the Autobots won. All we've done is guard bases and transport supplies"

Galvatron nodded, taking mental notes as he followed Cyclonus's slow steps as he took the time to bring him up to speed.

"This human has met our kind before so we make him an ally, get him believing us, then we have leverage if we're discovered. Even if he didn't, having a human willing to help us would provide useful anyway if we were found, but he knows not to trust Decepticons so play it up"

"Sure thing… Warnado" Cyclonus faltered a little at his 'new' name.

"That's going to be the hardest part to get used to" He shuddered and Galvatron smirked.

At the opening Cyclonus entered in through, Galvatron climbed out first, landing carefully before holding his servo's out.

"What are you doing?" Cyclonus leaned out of the hole giving Galvatron a confused look.

"I'm gonna catch you!" Galvatron replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"I'm not THAT badly injured! I climbed up!" Cyclonus crossed his arms.

"Yeah, well, you'll just keep on going if someone doesn't put their pede down" Galvatron huffed "So jump on down"

Cyclonus frowned but refused to jump. Getting on the floor he turned around and slowly climbed out, he'd drop off the side of the ship and land himself.

Instead, Galvatron grabbed his pede's and pulled him, making him turn and drop off sooner falling into waiting servos.

"I was doing fine!" Cyclonus whined as Galvatron had a servo under his knee joints and the other carefully around his back.

"Still helping!" Galvatron chimed with a chirping tone, "Now where is this place?"

Galvatron looked over the sandy dunes, now bathed in a fading pinkish light as the sun was almost gone.

"You're on Earth!" Another voice chimed in and Galvatron whirled around in surprise looking confused when no one was there.

Cyclonus knew better and looked down at the Raf-human who stood in front of them.

Raf looked back, looked at Galvatron, looked at both of them.

Then smiled.

Cyclonus suddenly felt unreasonably embarrassed at a human seeing him being carried about.

Galvatron caught onto his look and bent over a little, spotting the human a few feet in front of them.

"AAH!" Galvatron jumped back, flailing unreasonably and losing his grip on Cyclonus, almost dropping him but instead he grabbed onto Cyclonus's waist, practically hoisting him over his shoulder strut with a tight, protective, death-like grip.

With his view changed to nothing but Galvatron's back and the sand Cyclonus struggled fruitlessly in his partner's grasp only just catching the human chuckle slightly before he drooped over, disgruntled.

"What is thaaaaat!?" Galvatron whined, high-pitched and squeaky.

"I am Raf!" Raf chuckled, Galvatrons silly behaviour seemingly putting him right at ease "You're Shockdrive, right?"

Cyclonus frowned, of course he is, that's the name he told him, stupid human.

"Uuuuh… Uuuuuh" Galvatron faltered "Y-yes tiny thing… I am?"

Raf chuckled again utterly amused by Galvatron.

"I'm a human!" He corrected "Warnado told me your name"

"W-w… Yes… Warnado and me… I, uh" Galvatron stammered and Cyclonus put a hand to his face, he'd better not blow it.

"Put me down" Cyclonus grumbled and Galvatron made a small squeak before he complied and let Cyclonus back down onto his pede's.

Cyclonus made a point of straightening himself up to cover his own embarrassment but the human was still smiling at them.

And that was it.

An uneasy silence fell over them as none spoke or moved, unsure of where to go next.

"You're not gonna… like 'slime' us or something?" Galvatron broke the silence with a worried whisper and Cyclonus didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Raf answered for him and began laughing at a volume louder than Cyclonus' would've expected from such a small body.

"What? Humans can't 'slime' things!" He laughed.

"Oh… Then no eggs! It's already been stressful enough I don't want anything laying its eggs in me!" Galvatron shuffled about nervously.

"Eggs? We don't lay eggs either!" Raf giggled and Cyclonus relaxed.

"Are… Are you sure?" Galvatron looked like a scared protoform as he almost cowered at the sight of the alien.

"I'm absolutely sure" Raf was grinning at them now, "Best get you back to the base, your, uh, new temporary home" He walked over to his truck opening the door.

"Didn't you want help putting things on that?" Cyclonus asked remembering the human's prior request.

"No thank you, I filled it up with lots of tiny parts" He gestured to the trailer or which Cyclonus thought could take a few more parts, but he let the human do as he will.

"What's it doing with that?" Galvatron leaned towards Cyclonus slightly, before suddenly gasping and taking a step back when Raf got in, "It… what?"

It was Cyclonus's turn to chuckle as Galvatron watched on in confusion at the human's actions.

"It's a transport machine, they're small and can't carry much so they need it" Galvatron nodded slowly at his words, processing them "They can also fit in our alt modes too"

At that Galvatron stood back and frowned in shock.

"Now you're pulling my crankshaft!" He hissed.

"Nope! Being serious!" Cyclonus smiled.

"Are you guys going to come or what?" Raf was leaning out of the vehicle watching their quiet conversation.

"Of course" Cyclonus hummed.

Without thinking he grabbed Galvatrons hand and brought him along.
