Please read, review, and I hope you are enjoying the story so far.
Sorry for the late updates, sleep deprived, writers block, depressed, stressed out because of my job and being sick have been very huge factors to very slow updates on all my stories.
Bumblebee sped out of the base as Seth slumped against the seat as Bee drove away from the base to give Seth some time away from the base and the kids. Bee drove around to help Seth get familiar with the area. Bee made a series of beeps and clicks. Before he made his holoform appear in the passenger seat.
"I'm alright...just lost in my thoughts, Bee." Seth said as Bee continued talking to him, his holoform and was mouthing the words. "You want to know what's troubling me?" Seth asked as bee nodded. Seth ran a hand through his hair.
"I guess my whole situation being stuck in another dimension and knowing things that could possibly destroy the whole fabric of time and space. The fact i can rarely keep my temper under control and i have a tendency to get into fights, trouble and never mind...Look I am fine, Bee...Just basically wondering why in the name of Primus Optimus paired me up with Ratchet...and don't you dare say it's because Ratchet knew me a bit longer than the rest of you." Seth said.
Bee stared at him before he did motions with his hands besides beeping and clicking at him. Seth stared at him with a cold stare. "What do you mean it's mostly because Ratchet and I have the same personality, we are nothing alike!" Seth yelled defensively as Bee rolled his eyes and continued making Seth sigh. "Optimus has his reasons I know...but still...Ratchet doesn't like humans that much is clear to see on his face and in his voice."
Bee shook his head as he tried explaining more to him. "Not sure what you said but your right I should try giving him a chance...so let's change the subject completely...I been trying to figure out what colors to paint Prime and I got one idea but I'm not sure." Seth said trailing off. Bee made a series of beeps before Seth smirked.
"I think I like the idea...but maybe I should tweak the idea a bit. Maybe do a test run on Bulkhead or something" Seth said grinning in a wide terrifying Megatron like way. Bee than startled Seth when he lightly but suddenly grabbed the corners of his mouth trying to get Seth to smile nicely in a normal like fashion. Only to be scared out his mind of the terrifying image he created before him, before releasing Seth whose eye twitched violently at him. "Should I be plotting to re-paint you as well Bee? I do not like smiling all that much." Bee shook his head and waved his hands in surrender as he smiled nervously in a panic tone. "Good...Let's go back to base, I think the energon in me is acting up again." Seth said as the familiar dizziness washed over him.
Bee nodded as he did just that.
Back at the base roughly an hour latter Ratchet was still screaming in rage as he tried to get rid of the paint job his charge did to him in the wash racks. "How the frag did he pull this off without waking me, let alone how in the all spark did he do this!?" Optimus, Bulkhead and Arcee could hear all from the washing room.
"Optimus, I still think it's a bad idea leaving Seth alone with Ratchet." Arcee said softly as Bee arrived back at base. Seth walked beside Bee.
"So is doc, still pissed about-" Seth started before he was cut off by a scream of rage.
"How in the name of victor segma, did he repaint me in this area!?" Was heard loudly.
"Ohhh...He is still trying to get that all off of him." Seth said calmly with A nervous look.
"Yep." Bulkhead said. "Have to hand it to ya kid, that was a pretty good paint job."
"Thanks -" Seth started before he doubled over in pain gripping his chest as he was quickly caught by Optimus' holoform seconds before he could have landed on his face. Seth could hear their concerned voices echoing around him as optimus quickly picked him up and carried him towards medbay as he yelled Ratchet's name. Last thing Seth saw was Optimus' concerned face before everything went black.
Deep inside Seth's mind he saw himself pushing Jack out of harms way seconds before a sharp sword like blade shot through his chest from behind as the bots look on truly horrified as well as Jack, Miko and Raf. Smokescreen holds a guilt ridden horrified expression. Seth turns his head to see a figure hidden by shadows smirking at him as he yanked the blade out of him. Seth staggers a bit before falling off the cliff they are on as he hears horrified screams of his name as he falls. As he falls he can see his own face starring back at him with a very cruel insane demonic smile with eyes with a bright unnatural purple color.
"You will die...and I will enjoy watching you take your last breath my dear older brother." A familiar voice whispers. The voice sounded so familiar to him but for the last of him he couldn't place it. Also what did the voice mean by older brother? Seth was a only child as far as he could recall or remember.
Seth wakes with a loud gasp only to find himself resting on the human hospital like bed. Ratchet is sound asleep near by back to his normal White and red color paint but tiny hints of green and orange could still be seen in tiny spots. He quietly slid off the bed only to see Optimus sound asleep near by as well.
Seth carefully got out of bed as he left the room. He went top side to get some fresh air. He sat there watching as the sun slowly came up. Sighing he stood up and went back inside. Once he was back inside he saw panic stricken Autobots looking around for him. Ratchet than spotted him and Seth couldn't help but scream as Ratchet lunged for him. He was quickly scooped up off the ground by his guardian who began scolding the hell out of him.
"You have to rest! what part of resting don't you get!? The energon in your blood stream is highly unstable as well as a unknown factor!!!Are you that suicidal?!" Ratchet shouted.
Optimus approached as well. "Sethiroth-"
"It's Seth not Sethiroth, Pax!" Seth snarled.
"You must rest...you moving around to much is aggravating the energon in your blood making it attack you...please just rest and try not to move around a lot today." Optimus said.
"Fine...Whatever...I'll just read a book or something as I sit somewhere quietly." Seth grumbled. Ratchet sighed before he sent Optimus a heated glare. Optimus sighed as he tried to figure out Seth out again.
The other three Autobots went to get their charges. A few hours latter Seth was watching as the kids brought their science projects to base and where having their guardians help them. "Well this won't end well..." Seth muttered under his breath. He stood from where he was sitting and walked away from the group. Optimus noticed this as he silently followed Seth.
Seth had found a quiet spot and sat down closing his eyes leaning against the wall. Hearing the foot steps and feeling the vibrations he opened an eye to look at Optimus who made his holoform appear as his holoform sat beside him. No words were spoken at first. "You been threatening to repaint me...out of curiosity what did you have in mind?"
Seth's lip twitched upwards into a small smirk. "Not saying...but I got a few ideas...one I really think you would honestly break your rule about harming humans." He said.
"You weren't planning on painting me grey and purple were you?" Optimus asked with narrowed optics.
"Not saying but that sounds interesting." Seth said smirking in evil amusement. Optimus shook his head at that.
"Unlike the other three children, you are the most mysterious and most distant..."
"I have my reasons...I'm just use to being alone and fending for myself. I have been like this for so long, that I'm not gonna change any time soon. I'm not use to relying on others Optimus and the fact i have trust issues it makes things difficult for me to open up or allow others in. I just don't want to be hurt again. However I fear what Ratchet is doing to the kid's projects...I better go keep an eye on the old man hopefully he won't over do it and do something stupid." Seth said softly as he stood up and headed back towards the others. Optimus only frowned as he watched him leave the room.
Seth was growing tense watching how Ratchet over took the science projects. Optimus decided to take Seth with Bumblebee and himself after seeing how tense the teen was becoming and how the kid was starting to resemble more and more like Megatron the more irritated he became.
Optimus carefully reached out and curled his fingers around the snarling teenager. "Damn it Pax, put me down, I can walk damn it!!!" Seth yelled before he bit the sensitive wires in his hand again. Optimus ignored the pain and carried him out of the base.
Bumblebee smacked his face as he looked at Seth. He than sighed as Raf smiled nervously as he watched the three of them leave. once outside the base Bumblebee had to lightly tap Seth's head. Seth only growled deeper as he refused to let go or stop what he was doing.
Bee was quiet for a moment before he made his holoform appear on the ground. Catching onto what Bee had in mind Optimus lowered his hand towards the ground as he crouched down. Bee's holoform began to lightly poke Seth in the sides hoping to get him to ignore what he was doing so that he would turn his attention onto him instead of trying to damage Optimus' hand. What Bee didn't understand was that each light poking near Seth's ribs was causing extreme pain.
Seth narrowed his eyes as irritation, anger as well as annoyance to set in. After a few tense moments, Bee's plan worked as Seth stopped his attack on Optimus' hand. Bee's holoform turned away only to stiffen as a deep angry sounding snarl was heard.
Bee's holoform turned slowly only to give a loud terrifying whine sound as Seth who suddenly resembled way more like a human version of Megatron had suddenly body tackled him to the ground. Bee was freaking out badly as his holoform was frantically struggling to keep the teen from strangling him. Optimus was forced to bring forth his holoform as he was forced to grab Seth around the waist to pull him away from Bee. Seth thrashed in his grip snarling and looking ready to strangle Bee.
Bee stared wide eyed at him. "Sethiroth James Grimsley is this really necessary?!" Optimus asked as he held the struggling teenager.
"He kept poking my injured ribs!!!!" Seth spat. "Also stop calling me that damn wretched name, Pax!!!!"
"Enough before you injure yourself more..." Optimus said as he cautiously released Seth. Bee approached hesitantly as he looked at Seth. Seth looked annoyed but waited until Bee was close enough as he revealed a wicked grin that appeared truly demonic. "Pink and white racing stripes would look nice right?" He said making Bee whimper loudly as he released Seth was threatening to repaint him those colors.
Optimus shook his head wondering if he should have left the teen back at base. A image of Ratchet suddenly squishing the human flashed before him, quickly made him realize he made the correct decision by taking Seth with him and Bee. The two Autobots cancelled out the holloforms as they started walking. Seth followed after the two since he had feeling where this gonna lead.
They soon started walking only to see Starscream with Skyquake. "Oh lovely...the idiot who plays leader of the cons and the die hard loyalist of Megatron's just fan-fucken-tastic." Seth grumbled.
"Seth-"
"I got it...stay out of sight and don't do anything stupid. I'll just wait right over here behind these rocks...just keep the cons from blasting where I am. Really don't want to hear Hatchet, bitch about me injuring myself further." Seth said as he quickly darted to his hiding place. Optimus gave a deep sigh as he shook his head as Bumblebee and himself went to deal with the situation.
Seth tuned out most of the conversation and the fighting. However something told him if sky quake been hiding here couldn't their be Autobots in stasis as well hidden on planets like skyquake was? With that mind set in motion he began looking around as he used a stick to plot out some mathematical equations. He soon got a rough idea where to look. Lucky for him he found a small enough cave to wiggle himself through to explore. He looked around as he pulled his cellphone out to use it as a flash light. He was soon exploring the small cave when his flash light spotted something metal near by.
Sure enough he found a Cybertronian stasis pod. "Holy shit, I actually got my crazy mathematical equations right for once...sweet! Now question is how to wake the bot up." Seth said under his breath as he ran to the stasis pod as he approached it. "Shit, I'm gonna have to climb this...fucken thing. Once again why the fuck did Cybertronians have to be so damn big!?" he grumbled as he climbed up it and carefully he rubbed the glass, he could make out a figure inside but could not see who was inside. Weighing pros and cons he would take the chance. He hit a button and yelled as the lid began moving as he fell hitting the ground with a thud and a loud crunch was heard as well. He definitely felt something snap and he hissed in pain to keep from screaming.
"Fuck...I think there went another rib...Hatchet's gonna have my fucken head. Maybe if my hunch is right and this turns out to be a Autobot, perhaps I won't get that long lecture or be screamed at." He gasped in pain. The mist rolled out of the pod and Seth raised his phone to use his flashlight to see just who he had found just as the figure stepped out looking disoriented. Seth's eyes widen as he recognized the bot. "Oh you got to be fucken kidding me. Why Primus, why?!" He said in disbelief under his breath.The bot before him looked down at him and suddenly pointed a cannon at him as it glowed. "Well this is the pits..." Seth said nervously.
Bumblebee and Optimus had just got done burying sky quake when they realised a certain human child was missing. "Sethiroth?" Optimus asked looking around in concern. Bee was looking around frantically as well. They glanced around in concern.
Suddenly a large explosion happened near them as they quickly onlined their blasters and ran towards towards the blast fearing the worse, only to freeze at the sight of Seth being carried by a very familiar looking Cybertronian that emerged from the dust and darkness of a cave which entrance was blasted apart. Seth's hair stood a bit on end and he appeared a little paler than usual.
"Uh hi guys...look who I found." Seth said nervously. "Also I think I broke another rib."
The thick silence was soon broken by Optimus who managed to find his voice as Bee kept starring like he was in twilight zone or something.
"Ironhide!?" Optimus asked with wide optics. "Wait, you broke another rib? How!? Ironhide, we do not harm humans!"
"I didn't hurt the kid...damn brat hurt himself as he took me out of stasis...all I did was give him a bit of a fright when I showed him my cannon." Ironhide grumbled.
"He's telling the truth Prime, I hurt myself." Seth said wincing in pain as Ironhide shifted him over to Bee who was fretting over him almost instantly. "We don't have to tell Hatchet, about the rib right?"
"Seth...you will have to go back to med bay in case you caused internal bleeding again." Optimus said in all seriousness.
"Fuck!!!" Seth screamed as he banged his head on bee's finger. Bee shook his head as he carried him. Ironhide gave the three a confused look. Optimus shook his head but was curious how Seth found Ironhide.
