A/N: Howdy folks, here is an awesome chapter 20 with Skylar's training and her getting closer to her guardian, Ratchet, oh ya! Oh, Allspark Princess you just gave me a really good idea from your update about Skylar telling them about Megatron interest in her, in this chapter. When she talking to Ratchet because she more close to him from knowing him more than her dad, Prowl since the Autobots came into her life. I mean she knows Prowl for a few days when he finally came to Earth on Wheeljack's ship with the others, but knows Ratchet a little more since the first day she met him and all that. Thanks for the idea girl! Don't worry guys Skylar will kick Megatron's ass very soon, but not yet I have that plan later on, so you all will have to wait for it, but it will be awesome to see. Megatron is a pervert and Skylar does not like it one bit, hey I don't either. So with that said, without farther ado here is chapter 20 enjoy it folks!

Today is the day I am starting with some training with the Autobots to help me keep myself protected, from the Decepticons and any other enemies we come across later on in the future to come. Today I am practicing some fighting stealth skills with my new teacher Jazz. Bumblebee, Bulkhead, my daddy, Prowl, Ironhide, Acree, Jack, Raf, and Miko settled themselves on the other side of the training room watching Jazz and I face each other off in some practice training for me. "Alright Sky ya ready?" Jazz said, as he got into a fighting stance, as I stretched myself a bit. He knows how to fight for his training on Cybertron before and after the war broke out, and I know a little fighting from my old dad before he died from his police training when he showed and train me a little bit back then.
I just training with the bots to learn a little more of fighting to protect myself anyway, this is going to be fun to do with Jazz indeed. "Ready when you are Jazz." I got into my own fighting stance. Before we got started fighting Miko called out, "Wait! Before you start, let's add some music to make this match more interesting." Miko set the stereo and smiled, as she pushed the button and music started playing for the match to begin. The song was 'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor I love this song, as I smirked at her chose in the song for this fighting match.
Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
Jazz fired up his blaster before he fired them at me, it was simple to dodge the out of the way, since I had to dodge them most of the time from cons blasting at us anyway, before I started charging at Jazz giving a thrust kick towards him.
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
Jazz blocked my kick and back flipped to give myself space. I used another attack my old dad taught me, which is an upper kick and punch attack. I was going to use this attack to hit Jazz from behind.
And as the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds, still we take to the street
I took this opportunity to use my surprise attack on him from behind, but Jazz beat me to it when he swiped a kick of his own on me causing me to tumble.
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
And as the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance now I'm not gonna stop
I wasn't about to give up so easily to him anyway. I closed my eyes to think of my next move, and once I did I use my next attack on Jazz. I use double attack on him, which is an upper cut hit, with two double kicks to the abdomen area, that was not that hard of double kicks that will not hurt Jazz that much in that area. I used my strength and concentration on this double attack to knew when to do it and how hard to do it as well on him. This surprises everyone mostly my dad, even including me seeing that the attack move I use worked on Jazz.
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rivals
Putting that double attack in motion onto Jazz, I sent him to the steel wall causing him to gasp at my surprise attack I did on him.
And as the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
Jazz smirked at my surprise attack I did on him, before he slowly rose back on his peds. He started charging towards me with his blasters. Then, it was my turn to smirk, before I dodged the blasts and used the upper cut and kick attack again from last time, behind his peds, tripping him in the process. It succeeds, as the song last three lines played in the background of the training room.
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
"Whoa." Miko gasped, when the music stopped and the match was over. Dad was smiling at me proud-like, as my training improves better than I had beforehand. "You okay, Jazz?" I asked, as he stood back up onto his peds. "Ya, aye fine little lady. Ya just took me by surprise is all." He said, smiling at me. I smiled back, before I turn my attention to the audience, placing my hands on my hips. "Alright, who's next?" I asked them. Dad chuckled at my attitude to continue to train and fight with the bots. "I see that your training has been going well." Optimus said, smiling at me, as he entered with Ratchet following behind him. "Hey Optimus, you just missed all the action. Sky took down Jazz, like it was nothing." Bulkhead explained to him. "Careful Bulk buddy, next time when it's ya turn to face the little lady here, you never know what trick she might have on her sleeve." Jazz said, smirking down at me, as I snickered on what he said to Bulkhead.
"Why don't we take a break, then we'll get back to training." Ratchet walked over to Jazz and helps him to med bay. "Sounds good to me." Bumblebee said, and with that said, Bumblebee and the others followed out of the training room. I was about to follow them, until someone grabbed my arm and drag me back to a corner of the training room. "Sooo, how's it going with you and the doc?" Miko asked me. "Well, I'm not really sure, okay I guess." I replied, shrugging my shoulders at her. "You're kidding, just okay. Haven't you guys kissed yet?" I stare at her wide eyed and blushed, when she mention that. Now that I think about it our relationship hasn't gone up to the next level, yet. "Okay, maybe you have a point there, but I don't know if I should make a move or not." I said, a little worried about it.
"Sky, from what I see between you guys, I think Ratchet should be the one to make a move on you." Miko thought for a moment until she beamed with a smile at me. "I got an idea; meet up at the roof of the base in 10 minutes." She told me. "Why?" I asked her. "Just trust me ok, I think this will work." Miko said with a grin. Why do I get a bad feeling about this plan Miko is making?
(Miko POV)
Sky already left to meet me up at the top of the base, or should I say meeting Ratchet up at the top of the base. It's time I visit the doc from the Doctor of Love. I wasn't surprised to see Ratchet busy on his computer, no wonder they haven't done anything yet. It's time to get his aft off the screen and start paying some attention to Sky. "What's up doc?" I greeted to him. Ratchet responded with a groan clearly annoyed of my presence near him. "What is it Miko?" He asked me. "Oh nothing, since you seem rather busy I guess I'll go, but I'm sure you're not interested in hearing Sky's message to you." I said, and that brought his attention with gleaming optics. "I'm listening." He said to me.
"Sky told me, to tell you, to meet her up at the roof of the base in 10 minutes because she's got something important to tell you." I explained, winking at that part. I could hear Ratchet's cooling fans going off, from what I learn that was a cybertronian way for a blush. "What is it she had to say to me?" Ratchet said, looking away feeling embarrassed. This would have been a perfect Kodak moment, but now was not the time for that. "She won't tell me, she said it's a secret and that she'll only tell you personally." I said to him. Ratchet thought for a moment, before I saw a slight smile. It was rare to see Ratchet smile, now I wish I would have taken a picture, but I gotta focus on my plan for it to work out.
"Alright, tell her I'll be up there in 10, okay." He said to me. "You got it doc." I said, with a smirk on my face, as Ratchet grumbled at me. "Please, I told you not to call me doc." He groaned at me, as I rolled my eyes and giggled about it, before walking away from him. Perfect, now it's up to those two to make Operation: Doctor Love a success. This is gonna be good indeed.
(Sky POV)
10 minutes have past and Miko hasn't shown up yet. Where is that chickie at anyway? I sighed, as I sat down and watch the sunset, while waiting. It was beautiful up here; I should have gone up here more often, then I did before after my father's death. But, if I go up here so many times, it would blow our cover of the base to our enemies and all that jazz. I was still waiting until I heard metal footsteps behind me. I expect Optimus or dad to be behind me, but I was proven wrong when I turned around, and Ratchet was walking up towards me. "Hey Ratchet, what are you doing up here?" I asked, as he gave me a confused look, like it was the dumbest question in the world to ask. "What do you mean, what I'm doing here? I was asked by you from Miko to come and meet you up here." He answered to me.
"Huh? Actually, I was up here for Miko and… scrap." I just realized she set us up. That's the oldest trick in the book. And, I can't believe I fell for it. I mentally slap myself for being stupid. "I am going to kill that girl for this." I mumbled under my breath for Ratchet not to hear it anyway. "Um… you know what scratch that last part, what I mean was… yes! I did send Miko to come and get you and now here we are." I said, laughing nervously. I'll play Miko's little game for now, but when this is over, oh so help me there's going to be a beat down on her. "Would you like to join me and watch the sunset?" I asked him, waving my hand towards the sunset before us. Ratchet nodded and sat down crisscross with a thud next to me. There was a little awkward silence between us. I didn't know what to do, or what to say. I tried to improvise, I was about to speak, before Ratchet beat me to it.
"Miko told me that there is something important that you want to tell me." He said to me. Damn, that Miko, she so going to get it! But, what was so important that I have to say to him. I thought for a moment until it hit me. I was going to tell him about Megatron's behavior and interest in me for some reason that I don't know why though. I turned and looked up at him, "Actually there is something that I want to ask you about." I said to him. "What is it?" He asked me. I sighed as I took a deep breathe, "Okay… um, so… I want to tell you about what happen the past few days with me and Megatron when I was in his grasp during his reawaking and in the mine as well." He looked down at me to continue on, "Well he been acting weird with his strange behavior towards me. During his reawaking he like my fiery attitude and all that I would make a good warrior to him and his fraction of Decepticons. He also said I would make great something else I don't know what that is though, but during the mine event the past few days he looked at me with some kind of lust look in his optics. I do not know what all this is about; I was wondering if you know what it all means." I asked him, as I looked back at Ratchet for an answer to my question.
He froze from what I said giving a low growl at that, confusing me by it as I was taken aback by the growl he just gave. He also looked taken aback by that question I ask as well, and then his looked down at me with sad, but protective optics. "Well… to be honest, I am shocked by what you told me, but I do not know what Megatron planning in that twisted head of his and why he is so interested in you as well. But, I am not going to let that monster do anything to you, Sky, as I am here to protect you as my charge." He told me, I was touch by this, but then I had another thought in my mind as well. "Ratchet would you like me better as a human or cybertronian?" I asked him; again he looked taken aback by the question I asked him this time. "Well, in my honesty I like you as a human." He started to say, but sighed because I know there was going to be a but somewhere as well.
"But, maybe in cybertronian is better for you I guess since you have a cybertronian family and dad it be a lot easier on us with you." He said to me, as I gasp in surprised. Is that all he thinks of me, to be a cybertronian like them to make things easier on their lives. It kind of hurt me, but I then found myself asking him, "Ratchet, what do you really think of me?" I looked up at him, as he looked down at me, "What do you mean by that Sky?" He asked me. "From what you said, it sounded like you were glad that I could be a cybertronian to you guys to make it easier on your lives instead of being a human. And that you guys would not stress over me being cybertronian and all and not human, since you know… that there not many of you guys out there." I focused my attention on my feet, not wanting to face him anymore. "But, if I was just stuck as a human, and there was no way of me being cybertronian to you guys, making your lives a lot harder and a lot of stress with me, you guys would hate me for it, mostly you Ratch." I said sadly, feeling tears coming on and tried to hold them back.
I heard Ratchet growled again quietly, before he grabbed and jerked me up in front of his face plates, forcing me to look at him again. My eyes widened in surprise by what he just did. "Sky, don't ever think that for a moment that any of us, mostly me hate you!" He shouted at me. It's been a while since he shouted at me, but this was different from back then, because I was feeling somewhat fearful by it. "What I meant to say was that I have never thought someone like you would come into my- I mean our lives and I'm happy for that, but I also worry that if anything happened to you, that I would never forgive myself for it." Ratchet explained to me.
I felt touch by this, "Is-is it true?" I asked, he then brought me back down to his chest and held me close. It was warm and it felt relaxing hearing his spark pulsing. "Yes, it is true. And I'm sorry for yelling at you, it's just that with you being a human or cybertronian and training with us, plus being your new family and all, someday you'll be ready to be out in the field with us and you'll be a target to the Decepticons. I just don't want to lose you is all." Ratchet said to me. I felt my face heat up from what he said and looked to the side. "I-I had no idea that all of you, mostly you, Ratchet, care this much about me." I commented, as my face heated up some more. "Of course I care, because I…" Ratchet trailed off, before starting again. "Because I'm your guardian and you're my Sky. You're unique and kind, and that's what's makes you special." He explained to me again. "I… didn't think I was that important to you guys, mostly you Ratch." I commented again, as my face got warmer. What he said made my heart beat faster and my stomach doing flips. I didn't expect him to say those things to me. I looked up at him, "Could you… place me on your shoulder, Ratchet?" I asked him.
He complied and brought me to his shoulder. As soon as I got there I carefully made it over to his neck, before spreading my arms around it in order to give him a hug, and I also gave him a little peck on the side of his helm too. "Sky?!" He exclaimed at me, surprised by this action I did. I smiled and giggled at his response. "Thank you Ratchet, I now finally understand more of what you and the others feel about me, mostly you anyway." I said, as Ratchet smiled at this, and he gently reached over and gave me a rub on my back. It felt weird by him doing it since I am so use to dad doing to, but it was comforting.
We both continued watching the sun setting over the horizon. As it was setting down, the skies colors were changing from light to dark, until I could see a few stars in the sky. "Ratchet." I called out to him. "Hm?" He said to me, and I commented to him, "I'm glad that I meet you, and to have you in my life." I leaned my head over to his. He smiled at this, "So do I Sky, so do I." He whispered. Meanwhile, a figure saw the whole scene between the two. That figure was none other than Miko herself. She couldn't help herself, but she had to see if her planned had worked and it did. She couldn't hold back her grin that spread across her face. She took a few photos of the pair, because she couldn't help herself to it. "Operation: Doctor Love is complete." She said quietly, while giggling quietly as well, before she ran off back inside the base.
