Ok...I know this a really really short chapter...but you get the thought of another plot forming...so...don't complain...


Chapter 14

Airazor had planned to meet with the others that day. She knew it was an attempt to get her mind off of Skyhunter. But what ever their reason of doing it was, it wouldn't have worked anyways. But she knew she couldn't lose face in front of Nightwing…She walked down a field that now resided on Cybertron. Airazor thought it seemed nice on Cybertron they way it was now; it reminded her of Earth. Nightwing lied in Airazor's arms, drinking happily from a cube of energon.

"Airazor!" The cry made Nightwing choke on his energon cube and he started to cough.

Airazor patted him softly on the back until his coughing subsided as Lio, Tigatron, Hopper, Howl, Cheetor, and Nightscream walked towards them. Nightwing looked up to see the newcomers and shrunk into Airazor's arms.

"Hey Airazor…what's with the kid…?" Nightscream asked, bending lower to look at Nightwing closer.

"Nightscream, you're scaring the kid…" Cheetor said, pulling him back as Nightwing's optics started to fill with scared tears and clung tightly to Airazor's chest.

"Who's is it?" Howl asked, also leaning forward, but also keeping a safe distance.

"It's Sky's…isn't it…" Everyone looked at Lio, except for Nightwing, who looked up at Airazor.

Airazor looked down, past Nightwing, and nodded sadly.

"How-did-you-know?" Hopper asked, looking at Airazor.

"He was my brother, Hopper, the sparkling looks just like him…" Lio moved forward, arms out-stretched to take Nightwing.

Nightwing seemed to feel some sort of familiarity from Lio because he didn't protest when his holder had changed.

Nightwing placed a hand on Lio's chest, where in her robot form, her lioness' head resided. "Kitty…"

Lio gave a giggle. "Yes, hun…I'm a kitty…"

"So what's his name?" Howl asked, as Nightwing proceeded in calling her 'doggy' and Nightscream 'scary rat'.

"Nightwing…I think Skyhunter named him…" Airazor answered, stroking Nightwing's cheek.

"Skyhunter…? How…?" Tigatron was answered with a shrug from Airazor.

"Well, in any case, we're happy for you." Cheetor said, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Just then, Rattrap's voice came floating out of their comm. links. "Hey, Boss cat. Eh…I mean boss kitty…no wait…uh…"

"Out with it Rattrap!" Cheetor growled.

"Oh…well…Tarantulas kinda escaped from the holding cells…"

"Tarantulas? You captured him?" Airazor said, a feeling of anger rise as she heard the name.

"Well…we did…found his lair a little before we found you guys." Cheetor explained. "Alright everyone, we'll have to split up if we want to find Tarantulas. Cybertron's a big planet and no one's too familiar with it yet…"

"Airazor…maybe you should stay…you know…stay with the sparkling…"

"You just don't want me to go looking to Tarantulas to get revenge…" Airazor glared at Howl. But she sighed. "I guess you're right…" She held out her arms for Nightwing and Lio handed her over.

"We'll come see you later, ok Airazor?" Lio said as she gave Nightwing back.

"Thanks…" Airazor said with a smile.

With that, everyone took their leave, except for Cheetor, who was still looking at Airazor.

"Come on, big guy…" Airazor said playfully. "Shouldn't the supreme commander be going with his men?"

Cheetor nodded but didn't move. "I….Airazor…."

"Yeah…? What is it Cheetor?" Airazor gave him a puzzled look.

"Uh….um…be careful…"

Airazor smiled and walked up. "I will…thank you…" She kissed him softly on the cheek. "You better get going…?"

"R-Right…I'll…I'll see you later then…" With that, Cheetor ran off to follow the others002E
