Chapter Five-

I was out with Miko, OP said that I needed an alt. mode and I realized how doomed I was. After all, my wings say Flier, but the rest of me says Grounder. Maybe I am a large-wingleted Grounder? Another reason I am doomed is because I have no idea what I want to scan.

I have read many stories where the fan already knows what they want to be, or they are able to choose easily. It even shows in the series how Smokescreen already had an idea of what he wanted. While this is the case for them, none of the vehicles Miko pointed out and showed me gave me much interest.

I laid my chin on my arms and sighed, this was getting me nowhere.

"Miko, does this planet have any interesting vehicles?" I questioned, "like... I don't know fast and agile?"

Miko tapped her chin in thought before snapping her fingers, "oh yes, I know of one"

She led me back inside and asked Ratchet to send us to a location I will never be able to write. He did so and we looked around.

"These are the fastest cars and motorcycles in the world, don't worry the owner of this place won't be back until Monday" Miko grinned.

I smiled and walked around, all of them were so boring looking. I began to give up hope after an hour of searching when I spotted a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport's car. I grinned and initiated the scanning process.

I walked back to Miko and showed her how I looked. She smiled and hopped in.

We drove on the dirt road, to the city and back, testing out my new wheels. I couldn't stop the grin and laugh.

"This is amazing!" I chortled.

Miko grinned, "glad you like it!"

I called in a Groundbridge and we were soon back at base.

"Ratchet, check out my new wheels!" I gleefully called.

The Medic looked over and scoffed before returning his attention to the screen, "hasn't anyone defined inconspicuous to you?"

I chuckle, "nope!"

I let Miko out and transformed before heading back to my room. My vision clouded half-way there and I stilled. Black and purple dots floated around my already darkening vision and I quickly shook my head and closed my optics. I felt cool servos guide me and willingly followed.

I heard the telltale whoosh of my berthroom doors opening and was guided to my berth. I sat there as the servos disappeared. Once the dizzy-spell ceased, I restarted my optics and blinked a few times. I was shaking slightly and my wing-tips brushed against the metal of the berth. I inhaled before exhaling and forced myself to relax, my wings slowly lifted up to their natural position.

Suddenly, a blue cube of Energon was shoved into my servos.

"This is what happens when you don't recharge" the femme's voice growled out.

I looked up and saw her again, "sorry"

She huffed and crossed her arms over her chassis, "drink"

I opened the lid of the cube and took a sip. The Energon was cool on my glossa and it seemed to get colder as it slid down my throat and into my tanks. Once I finished with the cube, she took it and left.

I laid down and stared at the plain ceiling, my wings twitched and I rolled over to a more comfortable position. I could never lay in my back for a long period of time or else it would start getting sore and give me bad backaches later on; even when I was human.

I shuttered my optics and listened to the wind hitting the base.

"All hands on deck, Decepary that means you too" a white and extremely light blue femme called, her optics glowed a purple-ish blue as she walked into the room.

Many different looking Cybertronians, all having thick armour and were large, stopped what they were doing and gave her their attention.

Decepary, a dark purple femme with a lighter purple helm, black waist, pink-purple metal arms and black talons stood there; her optics were black with twin glowing purple orbs as iris's, smirked and walked over to stand in front of the white femme.

"What's up 'Bird?"

"The Council gave permission for those who wish to go to Kaon and enter Gladiatorial fights. If any of you wish to go, all of you must tell me or Decepary before heading out. Am I clear?"

The Cybertronians nodded, some looking eager, others looking worried.

Decepary looked at the white femme with narrowed optics.

I onlined my optics and sat up, 'what a weird dream'

I stood and headed for the Main Sector.

I entered right as a relic signal popped on screen. We left via the Groundbridge.

My wings were raised in anticipation, this will be my first fight with the Autobots!
