chapter 11
Lightfire was coming far in her training. "Lightfire is becoming quite skilled," Skywarp commented.
"I agree with you," Scavenger said.
"I think she still has ways to go," Starscream told them.
"Yes Lightsfire maybe growing in skill but she has a great deal to learn still," Chainsaw commented.
"Mostly she has been watching battles but I think it's time gains more battlefield experience," Optimus told them.
"Yes she might have learned something from watching our battles," Thundercracker stated.
Lightfire was busy training with Hot Rod and then she tripped and landed on top of Starscream. She was shocked at being this close to him. "Oh sorry," she said getting up and blushing. Then she helped him up. "Sorry about that Hot Rod I didn't mean to do that," Lightfire said.
"It's cool," Hot Rod said blushing himself. Then he smiled at her.
Man it's getting hard to ignore these feelings. I don't know what else I can do or what he will say if I admit them. Lightfire thought. Then gave him a smile.
I wonder if I should tell her how I feel, I just don't want my heart getting broken. Hot Rod thought.
Hot Rod was sitting down. He sighed like he been doing a lot lately. "Something on your mind buddy?" Demolisher asked coming up. He startled Hot Rod so bad he hit his knee on the bot sized coffee table.
"Ouch!" Hot Rod cried holding his knee.
"Sorry about that Hot Rod I didn't mean to startled ya," Demolisher told him.
"It's okay," Hot Rod said as Red alert treated his hand.
Hot Rod sighed again. "Is something on your mind?" Red alert asked.
"Kinda, just think about something," Hot Rod said.
"Something or someone?" Megatron asked from the door way where he picked up on the conversation.
"Maybe he is thinking of someone special," Optimus said.
"Yes I am," Hot Rod said.
"So who is it?" Demolisher asked.
"It's Lightfire, I know about a year and a half older than her but, she just makes my spark pulse so fast and I feel all sweaty, then I get a woozy feeling in my tank," Hot Rod said.
"Well looks like a we have solider who is in love," Megatron stated.
"He's not the only one," Demolisher stated.
"What do you mean?" Red alert asked him.
"I get the same feelings around Cyclonus, I find it hard to tell her how I feel," Demolisher said.
Nathan heard everything and came in. "Sounds like you two got hit by cupid," Noah stated.
"Cupid?" the bots asked.
"Oh it's mythical being who shoots people with these special arrows, that makes them fall in love," Noah explained.
"Ah," the bots said.
"Well you two just try talking to them alright," Red alert told them.
"Okay," Hot Rod said getting up.
"Will do," Demolisher said.
Soon another battle came and we meet a new Autobot. His name was Blurr. He says he is a Velcitronian. "Velcitronian?" Lightfire asked.
"He comes from a different planet full of transformers called Velictron they are the fastest transformers around," Chainsaw explained.
"I see," Lightfire said.
"But I grew up on Cybertron I was left there all alone as a child," Blurr said.
"That must be hard," Lightfire said.
"Yes it was but Scavenger took me in, and I became an Autobot soldier," Blurr told her.
"That's good," Lightsfire told him.
Training continued as usually does. Then a message came in from Maim. "Alright time for a battle here at the coordinates I hope you Autobots and Decepticons are ready," Maim said.
"I think we must accept this challenge," Megatron said.
"Yes we need to stop those droids even if that no good Maim just wants a battle to cause damage and prove himself as a capable leader while his leader is busy," Optimus said.
"Let's go," Hot Rod said.
They headed off into battle.
They saw all the droids. The battle was starting. Maim had the star saber and the skyboom shield. The fight was ferocious. Chainsaw got blasted. "You okay Chainsaw?" Sawblade asked.
"I have had better days Sawblade but I think I am alright." Chainsaw answered.
The Autobots and Decepticons were fighting back against the Conquerdriods. The battle was becoming rough. Cyclonus saw what was going on. "I have had it!" she said and took off. She started to kick up so much dust, dirt and sand that it was hard for the droids to see.
"Ouch that was me you idiot!" Cutter snapped.
"Let me go!" One droid said.
"Ow watch it!" cried another.
The other fliers took off and started to fire on the droids. Megatron and Optimus needed help.
During the blasting of the droids Lightfire was in the line of fire and Hot Rod knocked her out of the way and took the shot himself and he hit the ground. "Hot Rod!" Lightfire said and she came to his aid.
He sat up. "Are you alright?" Lightfire asked.
"Yes are you okay that is all I care about," Hot Rod said.
"Yes I am fine, you took that blast for me," Lightfire said.
"Of course I did and I would lay down my life for you no matter what," Hot Rod said. "Because I love you," he said then covered his mouth at his confession.
"Oh Hot Rod I love you too," She said and kissed him on the cheek.
"Wow!" he said then got up and he felt his strength renewed.
The fighting was growing more fierce. Demolisher saw they were about about to blast Cyclonus. "Oh no you don't," Demolisher said blasting them. Cyclonus saw him covering for her. Then she saw he was about to be blasted from behind.
The she flew over and blasted Cutter. "I don't think so Cutter!" she said.
"Thanks Cyclonus," Demolisher said.
"Any time," she told him.
Then a shot hit her rotor and she transformed and landed. "Yikes they got my rotor good," she said.
"Can you still fight?" Demolisher asked.
"Of course I can and I will fight for you till the end of time because of my love for you," Cyclonus said and then she turned red.
"I love you too Cyclonus, so now let's show these droids what we are made of," Demolisher said.
"You got it," Cyclonus said.
Then Megatron and Optimus obtained the shield and the droids retreated. "Phew I that we had it today mates," Jetfire said landing.
"Yes that was one of the toughest battles we ever did face," Ironhide said.
"I agree, I thought we were goners for sure," Thundercracker said.
"I'll say," Sawblade said.
"Cyclonus came through in the end," Chainsaw said.
"Me?" Cyclonus said.
"Yes we owe much of our victory to you, if it wasn't for you kicking up all that dust, dirt and sand with your rotors and confusing the droids we wouldn't have been able to lay the pounding on them like we did," Scavenger said.
"Oh your making me blush." Cyclonus said.
"Yes and this battle helped me and Lightfire realize we are meant to be together," Hot Rod said taking Lightfire's hand.
"That is wonderful we are happy for you two," Red alert said.
"Same goes for Cyclonus and I, we discovered the main reasons why we are fighting and that is for each other," Demolisher said.
"That is so romantic," Lightfire said.
"Well we have the skyboom shield now, which means we have some advantage," Megatron said.
"Yes but something tells me that the battles will continue to become for fierce," Optimus said.
All of the Autobots and Decepticons had that feeling but everything was going to alright.
