I do not own Transformers. I just own my OC's Kore River and Lethe River.
Chapter 10: New Base and Checkup's
I was woken up by a gentle tap on the shoulders. "Hey, girly, we arrived on base," Said Epps as he continued to tap my shoulder. Lazily, I opened my eyes, but quickly shut them tight due to the bright light that was let in by the doors of the plane opening. After a few blinks, I got up and filed out of the plane along with the three Autobots and the two NEST members. After stretching, I took in the dry air that surrounded me. "Welcome to Nevada kid!"
Nevada?! Well, it's not Florida, but cool. At least I'm back in the U.S. "So, when do I get that shopping trip I was promised? And when are the other Autobots coming?" I asked as Lennox and Epps started moving cargo into the new base. "Tomorrow. Definitely tomorrow. The others should be arriving in a few hours." Okay, well what am I supposed to do for the next few hours? And that's when I got a fabulous idea!
"Hey, Sunstreaker, Sides! Wanna go explore the outskirts of the base?" Both mechs perked up and before Prowl could say no, they quickly transformed into their expensive car modes, revved their engines and started to take off, while Sides stopped next to me so I could hop in. And off we went!
Dang these two know how to speed! I'm pretty sure that the twins hit about 200 mph, 'cause the wind that was blowing through the open window was going cra~zy! But I did not complain, going that fast caused my adrenaline to increase and it felt good! I finally had something to do! Race with the twins.
I'm not sure how long we were out there for, but the sun was starting to set, and the twins got a comm. Link to go back to base. It appears that the others finally had arrived.
On the way back, the two decided to tell me stories of their famous pranks that they had pulled. One such got all three of us into a laughing fit. Apparently, the two decided to pull a prank on Ironhide and his sparkmate Chromia. They waxed the training room, and had the rafters booby trapped with balloons, confetti, feathers, and shiny pink glitter. So when the couple entered the room, they slipped and hit the button that released the trap. Neither sparkmate enjoyed the prank and both went after the twins. But in the end, the twins did not regret it. Would they ever regret a prank?... I think not.
By the time we reached the base, we three were still in a laughing fit. But we all stopped when we spotted a 24 foot limy green mech heading our way. Ratchet was furious. And before the twins could turn tail and run, two wrenches came flying and hit the helm of the twins. "I leave you alone for a few hours, and you are already racing! Don't you remember you fraggin' glitch head? You were in my med bay a day ago! You should still be resting! And you!" The Hatchet's attention was turned to me.
Scrap! What about me? "You, should not be going off base without my or Optimus permission! Is that clear young lady?!" I nodded, but started to protest, "But I was bored, sir, I had both twins with me too. And we were still on base! I was fine!" Shaking his head Ratchet knelt down, "You had two glitch heads with you, that does not count as being fine or safe. Now, let's get this new tour underway. And after, I want to see all three of you in my med bay! Is that clear?"
The three of us nodded, and went to join the others for the tour.
The new base was very similar to the one back on Diego Garcia. In fact, it was an exact replica, except my room was closer to the med bay. When the tour came to an end, Sides lifted me up, and he and Sunny started to run to the rec. room, but before they could get away, a hand came and rested on both their shoulders. "And where do you think you three are going?" Ratchet had caught us. "Oh, hi there Hatchet! Didn't see ya there. We were gonna go and uh-" Sunny was interrupted by the fierce stare coming from the medics optics. And pulling the two, we all headed towards the new med bay.
Inside Hatchets domain were several large metal berths, wrenches and other tools on the wall, and a chair and desk for the doctor himself.
Both twins sat on the same berth as Sides held me. "All righty then, let's get started." Ratchet first checked Sunstreaker to make sure everything was good with him. And, according to Ratchet, Sunstreaker was fine and in good shape. I think Sunny's ego needs to be checked. It's dangerously too high.
Next was Sides, who had deposited me into the hands of the narcissist *cough, cough, Sunny, cough, cough*.
After running a few scans, Ratchet's face turned to a confused look. "Everything okay doc?" Sunny asked at seeing the medics face change. "Yeah, it's just that I saw something on the spark monitor. But it's gone. Guess it was nothing. But to make sure, Sideswipe come back tomorrow at 4. Now, you two may leave. Kore, it's time for your check up."
Just then both bots got to their feet, "How come Kore gets to stay for our checkup, but we can't stay for hers?" Sideswipe declared as he took me from his brother's hands. Exhaling, the grumpy medic took out two wrenches and before he could do anything, I was sitting on the cold metal berth, alone, having both twins abandoning me.
"Why did you make them leave?" Looking at me Ratchet then explained that though Sunstreaker was on the team to retrieve me, neither he nor any other Autobot, besides Optimus and Prowl, knew that the All Spark fragment had actually merged with me, making me half Cybertronian. "Oh. So what do they think I'm here for?" I asked curiously. "The rest of the team thinks that the signal was a miss hap and you are here since you saw us." Okay, that makes sense.
Ratchet then ran his scans on me. "Interesting, your heart rate is slightly faster, its 80, when last time it was 65 and there is more energon in your blood stream." What? How? No! Oh no! Not yet! Please tell me my heart is not changing yet! Oh please no! "Well just like the twins, I will like you to come in at the same time tomorrow."
After being free from the clutches of the medic, I headed back to my new room, wondering what would happen next.
Chapter 11: Shopping and Trouble
I woke up to Lennox knocking on my door at 8 in the morning. "Come on Kore, we gotta go get you some new stuff." Groaning, I slide out of bed and quickly dressed then headed out. What surprised me though was that both Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were waiting on Lennox and I.
