Chapter 36

It had been two days since the femmes had been reactivated and Optimus was overjoyed to find out that the femmes were online. But at the same time he was sad that his beloved Elita was killed. Everything was not going well at the base as several mechs found themselves needing to visit Ratchet when the femmes found out how they had treated Hot Rod.

Ratchet surveyed the Injured mechs. They included Brawn, Tracks, Smokescreen, Cliffjumper and Powerglide who was the least injured of the group. Moonracer and Firestar had attacked them once they found out that they where the worst of the ones that didn't trust Hot Rod and treated her like a Decepticon. Ratchet knew that femmes took care of their own and were very protective other femmes especially Younglings which to Moonracer, Chromia and Firestar Hot Rod was.

Ratchet got to work on the injured mechs who were complaining about how the femmes treated them and their paint jobs (Tracks).

"Well this what you get for treating a fellow femme like she was a virus. Hot Rod has done nothing to warrant the verbal and mental abuse that you gave her over the past few weeks since she reveal her true gender. Not once has she ever asked Prime or her family to step in. If she could stand that much abuse than she is an Autobot." Ratchet told the group as he non to gently fixed Tracks's arm that Moonracer had yanked out of it socket when she threw him across the room. He smirked at the yelp he got from Tracks. Most would think that he was violating his oath of first do no harm but he knew that pain sometimes came with repairing a bot which made Ratchet slightly happy. It served them right that they should have some pain for all the pain that they put Hot Rod though.

Meanwhile Chromia was heading to entrance of Autobot City so that she could go for a drive. When she reached the entrance she transformed and headed out to a place where she could think. It took her a good ten minutes to get to a small quiet spot where no one could find her. Once she transformed she sat down on a rock and started to cry.

Everything seemed to have ganged up on her lately. First she was at the time the only survior of the femmes. Then she was transferred to Earth. Now just recently Hot Rod revealed that she was a femme. Chromia had grown attached to Hot Rod long before the brightly colored femme revealed herself. Chromia took upon herself to teach the young hot head how to be a proper femme when the time was needed. She was disgusted as to how her fellow Autobots had treated a fellow teammate. It was because of them that Hot Rod was botnapped twice and the second time was when Hot Rod was protecting one of the mechs that didn't trust her.

She was overjoyed to find out that her friends were alive and well but upset that she had been lied to all these years. She sensed that something was behind her and in a instant pulled out her blaster as she spun around to see Moonracer. The jade colored femme held up her hands surrender. Moonracer knew the Chromia was the second best femme sharpshooter and hardly ever missed a shot.

Chromia realizing who it was sheathed her weapon back into her sub space pocket. She motioned for Moonracer to take a seat beside her as she wiped the energon tears from her optics. Moonracer put a comforting hand on her friend's shoulder.

"What's the matter Mia?" Moonracer asked knowing she had a feeling what was wrong.

"I don't know? With everything that's been happening I guess I just needed a break." Chromia told her friend. "I guess thinking that I was the only survivor because I was one a mission made me upset. I almost offlined myself when I came back to the base to find you guess offline and Elita with a hole in her spark chamber. If it wasn't for Kup and his wards I would have offlined. Now to find out that you guess were alive all this time I'm mad at the point that I was never told about the program that would put you into a stasis like offlineing."

"Oh Mia it wasn't that we didn't want to tell you it was because Techa had only made the program the day before and the next day Megatron attacked. Elita was offlined when one of the computer consoles blew up next to her. We had less than a cycle to implant the program and prayed that it worked. It worked so well that even out own faction thought that we were offline." Moonracer told her friend. "Think about it Mia if you had been with us you wouldn't be around to teach Arcee and Hot Rod how to a femme nor would be their for them when they wanted to bond. Also we would still be in those damn pods offline. I read an old Earth saying that things happen for a reason and I think that's true." Moonracer said hugging her friend.

Chromia let the words sink in for a few moments. Moonracer was right about things happening for a reason. Hot Rod would have no one to turn to when she revealed who she was. Both the younglings looked up to her as a role model and Hot Rod had told her once that she looked at Chromia as a mother figure.

"Your right Moony."

"Of course I am fearless leader. Come on let's get back to the city." Moonracer said getting up and offering a hand to Chromia who took it.

"I'm afraid that will be impossible." A monotone voice said from behind them.

The two femmes turned to see Soundwave with Rumble and Frenzy. All three were pointing their weapons at them. Before they could blink Soundwave moved forward and grabbed Moonracer pinning her arms behind her back. Chromia was pushed aside allowing Rumble and Frenzy to subdue her for a moment but she pushed them off and drew her weapon and aimed it at Soundwave who used Moonracer as a shield.

"Let her go Soundwave." Chromia growled out keeping her blaster pointed at the cassette deck. She couldn't fire at him with out hitting Moonracer.

"Surrender Femme and no harm will come to you both." The tape deck said.

Seeing the she had no choice as Moonrace would get hurt if she didn't. Of all the Decepticons Soundwave always keep his word. Chromia threw her blaster down and held her hands up. She sent out a quick message and prayed that it got through.

Soundwave signled for Chromia to get down on her knees and allow Rumble to insert a needle in to her neck. Chromia recognized it as the same type of needle that was found when Hot Rod was Captured the first time. The blue femme felt a slight sting before every thing went black. Next Moonracer was knocked out.

Soundwave called for Thundercracker who was flying by to come give him a hand with the femmes. Lord Megatron wanted to femmes for some reason and the tape deck had a feeling the it involed Hot Rod. The young femme was feeling lonely and everybot knew that femmes need the comfort of other femmes especially when they were recovering from a serious injury.

Thundercracker landed and picked up Chromia in his arms and flew off with her. Soundwave followed on foot with Moonracer in his arms.

What awaits the femmes in the Nemesis. Find out in the next chapter.
