This story is to a collection called 'Toying With Reality'

I own none of the characters other than 'Skyfall' and 'Dawnbreaker'

'Com'

"Speech"

"Telepathy"

'You would have been so proud of me Dawn I went all Top Gun on his aft!~' Skyfall squealed happily to her spark sister via their ever strengthening bond. So far it has been a few weeks that they have lived in this world as Cybertronians.'You would think he just tells Mega-thighs that I suck and need more training cause he likes to race.'

Dawnbreaker froze mid thought her expression changing from amused to embarrassingly confused then politely disgusted, "D-did you just say Mega-thighs…"

'Uh Dawn-soap you said that one out loud. And well have you seen Megatrons thighs like all holy hell, he could crush helms with those babies.' Skyfall snickered and shook her helm hoping her best friend did say that in the common aria.

"Dawnbreaker I politely advise you to please keep your conversations with your friend private."

Whirling around in horror the grey and yellow McLauren turned a delightful shade of Energon blue. "O-optimus?! I'm so sorry sir, I'll make sure to keep them to myself!" Optimus gave her a small smile and a nod, as the leader of the Autobots walked away Dawn buried her face in her servo. 'I can hear you laughing.'

In fact the Seekers mirth was almost tangible as she openly laughed in the empty Medbay. 'I love you bro but honestly that was glorious!'

'Glad you think so, now I wont be able to look him in the optics anymore!' The sports car trudged into the main room making for the exit for her patrol. Transforming she speed out onto the asphalt and began her long patrol, 'So hows the Medic stuff doing for you?' She had been pasted by Arcee but a few moments ago, they flashed lights and carried on with their business, Dawn knew the two-wheeler was on her way to see Jack since his departure after the Agent Fowler incident.

'Actually not that bad, I get sent to the Energon mines to fix up the Drones so it's not like I'm stuck on the Nemesis.'

'Who's your worst patient?'

'Soundwave by far, that skinny shit hides from me when he gets injured!' The Seeker Femme was bristling just thinking about the TIC's childish antics.

'Huh never would have pegged him for…OH MY GOD!'

'Oh no…' Skyfall knew that tone, 'Dawn don't do it.'

'But Sky it's so small and cute!' Dawn had pulled to the side of the road by a small desert bush, butterfly door opening, "Here kitty kitty~" She cooed making soft clicking and meows to the crouched cat. Coaxing the furry baby into her alt mode the Autobot scout smiled triumphantly kicking on the air and heated seat for maximum kitty comfort. Revving her engine she continued on the patrol, Dawnbreaker went over a plan to sneak this little cutie into base.

Dawnbreaker had almost made it through the base with out an incident, but Ratchet had called her to the screens. "Yes Doc what do you need?" Dawnbreaker shifted awkwardly trying not to look too suspicious, with the cat asleep in her chassis she had to hurry to hide it before it became vocal.

"I want a recap on your friend, the bond you two share seems to be growing every cycle. And with the knowledge of the Space Bridge and Megatrons plan to bring Cybertron's dead back to life we need to know all the details we can ." The orange and white mech kept calibrating the machine as he spoke. "Does she have any knowledge on the Deception plans?"

Skyfall snickered through the bond listening in with a smile, 'Megatron keeps me out of the loop and in the mines for most of my time.'

"She said that they don't keep her in the loop," Dawn said to appease the Doc ready to bolt for her berth room. She turned and slammed face first into Bulkhead, "ow"

"Meeeerrrooooow!"

Bulkhead mid apology stopped at stared at her chassis in confusion, "Did you just, meow?"

Ratchet had turned to the newest addition to Team Prime with an annoyed and skeptical look, "Open up now."

Backing away from the two mechs Dawn held her servos up in surrender, "Hey your probably just hearing things, yah know I might have left some cat videos up."

"That was no cat video," Ratchet said annoyed, "Open up now or I'll be forced to open you up myself."

"Uh Dawn better do what he says.." Bulkhead warned, trying to help the newbie not get her aft kicked by Ratchet.

"Aw come on Ratchet its just a cat…"

"Yes, Primus forbid you bring in another human! But no, you bring in an animal! One, mind you that we cannot take care of!" Ratchet was getting more and more peeved by the second.

"What is this I hear about a cat?" Raf said looking up from his laptop.

"Good, you can take this creature out of the base before it creates a mess." Ratchet pointed to Raf and returned to his work mumbling under his breath about insane Femmes.

Dawnbreaker faced the human boy with a sheepish smile, "You don't by any chance like cats?"

The small computer expert smiled, "More of a dog person myself but I have a soft spot for all creatures."

Opening her chassis Dawnbreaker pulled out the small tabby holding the little thing gently, giving it to Raf she stepped back. "They are just too cute, I just want to save them all when I drive by one on the roads."

The boy chuckled petting the cat, "I'll make sure this little fluff ball gets a good home." Straitening up he turned to Optimus as the largest of the bots walked in.

Dawn caught the leaders optics for a second but then turned away looking at the cat instead, Prime followed her gaze to the small creature in Raf's arms. "Why do you have a cat Rafael?"

"Oh! Um Optimus…I-I um…" The shy boy was flustered and a bit panicked.

"It was my fault the little thing must have hitched a ride when I was patrolling." Dawnbreaker jumped in saving Raf.

"I advise that it be given a proper home." Optimus said curtly.

"Optimus, I've pin pointed the location of Megatron's Space Bridge. High in Earths orbit." Ratchet sounded despondent about the newly found news.
"Out of our reach." Optimus added.

Miko frowned looking confused "Ok, so you guys don't fly…but can't you just Ground Bridge there?"

Looking down at the small child Ratchet responded annoyed going into an explanation, "The Ground Bridge has limited range. Stretched all the way into orbit it's vortex could snap! And scatter us to the Stars." Miko looked at him horrified her mouth agape, as was Dawnbreakers expression.

Optimus decided to fill the silence, "Since Megatron is likely already in transit. I'm afraid we must take that risk." The Prime turned to fave the Ground Bridge everyone followed suit looking at the device with worry, Dawn thought it would have been really nice to be able to fly like Skyfall can. "Reaching the Space Bridge first is our only means of stopping him."

Everyone looked to the tunnel when they heard a familiar honk, Arcee rolled in with Jack "Hey, guess who's back…" the teen said with a smile removing his helmet.

"Autobots prepare for departure!"

While the others exchanged a few words Dawnbreaker was reaching out to Skyfall, 'Uh Sky…'

'I just got summoned by Lord Megatron what do you need, are you ok?'

'Why am I going into space for some Space Bridge?'

o0o0o00o0o0oo0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0

Skyfall froze just as she entered the Command Room, 'You are WHAT?!' She felt the tension in the air, Skyfall could see clearly now the the Nemesis was going into orbit. "Lord have mercy…" She spoke under her breath. Her audios perked to the low chuckle of Megatron as the leader spoke out loud to the screen showing all the Autobots standing in a defensive position on the Space Bridge, including Dawnbreaker. Starscream passed by on his way to Lord Megatrons side, giving her a curt nod. Their relationship had grown from bristling hatred to mutual Seeker respect.

"Optimus Prime never disappoints…" She could tell Megatron was grinning as he spoke. "Unlike you Starscream!" The large silver mech snapped at the SIC who let out a shuddering breath.

"No need for concern, master. Soundwave is locking on Cybertron's coordinates per my instructions." Starscream purred out with a nervous chuckle.

Skyfall shifted slightly, "My Lord you called for me?"

The massive mech walked down to her, he placed a clawed servo onto her much smaller shoulder, "The Drones have returned with their reviews of your work, it seems you have proven yourself very useful. Energon mining is now accelerated and more Energon is mined daily than ever before. You have done well these past few weeks."

If her optics could change into little anime stars then they would have, but she just smiled and bowed her helm, "Thank you my lord."

"You may stay up here to watch my undead army rise."

"Gladly Lord Megatron." Silence then ensued upon the Command Room only to be broken my a really dumb and oblivious comment by Starscream, Skyfall found herself snickering at Megatrons sarcastic remark. Skyfall watch with horror as Megatron sent Drones to eradicate the Autobots, to kill Dawnbreaker. Her tank churned she sent all her determination and fighting knowledge to Dawnbreaker. Her helm pinged with a message halting her frazzled thoughts, opening it she had to read the contents over three times before realization hit.

'Soundwave: You do not have to watch your Spark Sister die'

He knew…
