Recovery and Themes
Sonam was back with the Primes, the femme Prime and the one with the fatherly voice were concern for her and brought her to their eye-levels "Young one, are you alright?" the femme asked her while rubbing her back "Y-y-yeah, I think so, I can't feel any pain here but I'm still a little shock from earlier" she told them while leaning to the touches. One of the Primes started to fume "To think my namesake would keep tabs on his soldiers, what was he thinking allowing her back to his ranks!" the other Primes chuckled at his outburst, but Son looked confused "Namesake? You mean you're Megatronous Prime?" she asked surprised, the Prime chuckled "Figured it out eh? Yes I am Megatronous Prime, the "traitor" of the group or what others titled me as The Fallen Prime" he told her while exclaiming the traitor part. Son widened her eyes, but if he was a traitor what is he doing here? Something doesn't add up "I'm guessing there was more to your "betrayal" than meets the tales told to me?" she asked them.
Another one of them chuckled and said "Yes, young one you are correct for Megatronous never betrayed us in the first place, it was all part of our plan to defeat Unicron" Son couldn't believe what she was hearing "But then why would he be considered a traitor, if it was part of your plans, it's not fair on him and from you to allow your brother to be called that for so many millennia's" she told them crossing her arms. The others just looked at each other and smiled sadly at her "Do not worry young one for soon everything will be corrected, our brother is almost at Earth and will soon seek you out, but he cannot show himself to the other Cybertronians yet"
Son sighted and said "Alright, but that better happen otherwise I'll come here and kick your afts for such an act against him" and pointed at Megatronous, who just smirked and said "I think she favors me, cause my namesake has an attraction to her" he teased them. Some chuckled at that, the femme and two others just rolled their optics and Son's face was scarlet red. "Alright, I'm outta here, I'll see you guys some other time alright?!" and vanished.
Son woke up breathing sharply and carefully lifted her upper body up, clutching her chest a little. The pain was unbearable and a tear trickled out of the corner of her eye "Arachnid better not be near, that she-spider plays dirty" she heard some shuffling behind her and widened her eyes when she turned around, in front of her Breakdown had Knockout trapped to the wall and was kissing him passionately, Knockout let out a load moan and Son just smirked at the sight
"AHEM, if you guys don't mind the best room would not be one which is occupied with a patient, even when it does sound hot" she giggled when they turned around and had the caught-with-their-hands-in-the-cookie-jar-look, both their faces were tinted red out of embarrassment.
Knockout was the first to recover and went by her side scanning her vitals and checking her injury "I thought you'd wouldn't wake up till later the medicines I used should have knocked you out for the rest of the day at least" he told her. Son just smirked and him and then looked over at Breakdown "Sssooo, you two are an item eh?" she asked them, both just blushed and didn't dare answer her "Are you freaked out?" Son looked at Breakdown and gave him a questionable look
"About what big guy?" "
About us, you know, two mechs being together" while rubbing Knockouts wrist
"No way, I say that all the time with some of my species, I'm not freaked out at all, to me love has no boundaries or limits hunny" she told them, but then Knockout asked "But some of your species deny such a love or are disgusted by them"
"Knockout sweetie, does Breakdown make you happy? And Breakdown are you happy with Knockout?" Both looked at each other and replied simultaneously "Yes, he does"
"Then who am I to judge your relationship, loving someone is what brings out the happiness in everyone and as long as you guys are happy with each other no one else's opinion should matter" she told them smiling at them. Both just had their eyes widened and brought out there Holoform and hugged her gently as not to hurt her.
"Thanks Son you really are more than meets the eye, you have no idea what that means to us"
"Yeah, some of the Decepticons and Autobots gave us a hard time back on Cybertron with our relationship and lost a few friends as well, at least I thought they were our friends" Son just hugged them and said
"Well then you know who your real friends are, but they're not giving you guys a hard time here are they?" Knockout smiled and said
"Nope, the Autobots don't know it yet but the Decepticons on the Nemesis don't think anything of it, besides it's not uncommon for mechs and femmes to become spark mates some are even intended, others just don't see it in such a way and they tend to treat us and anyone else different"
Son smiled sadly at them, she too has seen the discrimination of same-gender lovers on the media and the streets and it saddens her to see that humanity is capable of such acts. "Hey don't worry about me or what I think guys, besides I thought it was kind of a turn on with your little kissing display" she teased them and winked at them all three of them began to laugh.
Suddenly they heard a loud growl and they looked at Son's stomach, guilty as charged it growled again and she blushed a little "Yikes, seems like its dinner time for me, can I leave the med bay doctors?" she looked up and winked at them when she said the last part. Breakdown held out a hand and Knockout started to comm Megatron about her awakening "Sure thing Son I'll help ya for a while thought you shouldn't strain yourself or your stitches might open again" he told her
At the Bridge
Megatron was working on some schematics but his focus was more on the femme lying helpless in the med bay, though he trusted Knockout and Breakdown with her he was still worried. There was no sign Arachnid anywhere on the base when they try searching for her, that is until Soundwave showed him a surveillance footage of her leaving the ship and another from her room previously she looked frightened about something and smirked a little later, but that was not the weirdest part they also heard her say something about a master and making their move. Megatron rubbed his optics a little he hadn't slept at all since he admitted his feelings about the human femme to both the medics and himself, still he wondered who this master of Arachnid is and what move where they about to make and if she did this to Sonam who knows what else she could do.
Megatron sighted a little and continued with his work, all the while some of the Vehicons were keeping an eye out for their master. For them it was a sense of entertainment "You'd think we'd be addicted to one of those drama series Earthlings watch on their holo-vids" one of them whispered the other stared at him and whispered back "Yet, another reason why Son was right about us Steve"
"Who's Steve?" he whispered back to his fellow Con and looked at him confused, the other one pointed at his code "You're code, if you turn those three's around they become and a letter E in the human Alphabet, with that you're Steve" he explained to him. The other just stared for a moment "And yours would be what Kevin, K3-V1N?" "Exactly!" "SHE'S AWAKE?!" Both of them jumped and turned around witnessing Megatron run out of the bridge, while the others laughed at them "Y-y-you s-s-should..hahahaha…h-h-have..hehe…s-s-s-seeeennn nhahahaha, yyyour faces, whawhawhawhahahaha!" one of the Vehicons tried to remain steady but was now rolling on the floor, while both Steve and Kevin tried to calm their sparks down.
Before The Outburst
Megatron was still typing away with the reports until he got a comm-link from Knockout, fearing something must have happened he answered immediately "Knockout what is it? Is Sonam alright? Did something happen?" he asked in one breath. On the other line Knockout smirked at his lord's antics and held back a giggle "N-no My liege everythings is alright in fact she's awake right now and we're heading to her room, so she could nourish herself…" before he could go any further Megatron yelled out "SHE'S AWAKE?!" and was cut off. Knockout was trying to hold his and head and stop the ringing "Ouch, Note to self just send Megatron a message and leave it at that" he thought to himself and followed Breakdown into Son's room. Meanwhile Megatron was hurrying towards the chambers.
In Sonam's Room
Breakdown had just set her down and she went to the fridge taking out some ingredients for a chicken sandwich, Breakdown just watched her prepare the sandwich "You human's sure take a lot of time with your nourishments, why not just blend it and drink like we do with energon" Son just stared at him "Some people do that, but you'd need a strong stomach to get all that through your throat without having to spit it all out. Besides this way we humans get to create some new dishes and add our own personal tough into them" and she started eating her sandwich while going to her radio and turned it on hearing one of her favorite songs LMFAO "I'm Sexy And I Know It" she looked up and saw Knockout just coming in an smirked "Hey Knockout!" he looked at her curiously and heard the music as well "Sounds like something you need to play when entering a fight, this really sounds like you…"You're Sexy and You Know" she stared dancing Knockout smirked "Why yes I am, that's a pretty good idea might even distract the Autobots" and started dancing with her Breakdown then joined in and asked "Hey, what about me what should my theme song be?" Son though for a moment and got out her phone, she began to scroll down the list and found what she was looking for "Why, this tune sounds just like you Breakdown" and played another song through the radio both bots listened and asked "What song is this called, I like it" "It's called Show Me What You Got by Powerman 5000" she let them listen to the song for a while and then she put on another tune, this was one was calm and let out a good vibe in the room "This a Jazz number by KennyG, a famous Saxophone player owh I just love to slow dance on these numbers" and she stared swinging to the beat a little pretending that she was dancing with someone. The Cons looked at her and smirked at each other planning something in their minds to get her and Megatron together.
Just then the doors opened and Megatron came in he saw them looking at her, while she was dancing to the tunes. Megatron just looked at her and felt his spark flutter at the sight, until he realized Knockout and Breakdown were in the room and gave a warning growl. That caused Son to snap out of her trance and she saw Megatron standing there, for a moment she blushed a little remembering his feelings for her and she turned the music down a little "Hey Megatron, what's up?' she asked him and he activated his holoform and hugged her tightly yet gentle. Son was surprised and hugged back "Hey big guy, I'm alright nothing happened..." she tried to reassure him, but he growled a little making her and the other two jump a little even in holoform he could be scary.
"Nothing happened?...NOTHING HAPPENED!" he pulled her in front of him and he pulled of her jacket "Look at what Arachnid did to you, you could have died Sonam" and then he calmed down and put his head on hers "I do not wish to lose you, y-you have shown me kindness a-and….." he stuttered a little bit. Breakdown looked at Knockout who pointed at the door giving him the sign that is was best to leave the two alone, when both of them left Son buried her head in Megatron's chest "Megatron I promise I will not leave you or the Decepticons, you all mean too much to me" she told him. And smiled up at him, Megatron smiled back at her almost forgetting where they were "Ahem, y-y-you probably wish to rest now, I should return to my post now" before he turned around Son grabbed his arm and made him turn around.
"If it's alright with you I'd like to continue my lessons and maybe I can hang out with Breakdown and Knockout later if you don't mind" she smiled innocently at him, Megatron complied and held out his hand for her after his holoform fazed they walked to the bridge where Megatron could keep an optic on her until she was ready to join Breakdown and Knockout.
Hours Later
Dreadwing had just finished supervising one of the energon mines and returned to refuel before he went to visit his brother's grave. He felt guilty since Son was still unconscious she couldn't join him for the visit, he went to the bridge to hand out his report when he suddenly stood still on one of the desk sat Son reading Cybertronian as if she never went into the med-bay in the first place, he almost forgot where he was until he heard his master talk "Dreadwing, how did the mining go in sector 2-1-77?" Dreadwing almost jumped out of his armor and composed himself as quick as he could "Yes, my lord I have returned with the report as you wished, however I request permission to visit my brother's tomb later" he asked to which Son shot her head up and stood "You're going to your brother's tomb already? Megatron sir, may I please join him I promised I'd visit with him" she asked Megatron who just looked at her and then at Dreadwing. Dreadwing was a little nervous and confirmed what she was talking about "It is true my Lord, earlier when I had met her in the training facilities she had asked about it as well and I had promised her I would take her with me if you would permit it" he mentioned before Megatron would blow a gasket, he sometimes was wary of him for he did not know what would please his Lord or what would make him use his cannons on his soldiers. Megatron thought for a moment, he didn't want Sonam to leave the Nemesis; to leave his sight but he looked at her and saw the hopeful expression on her face "Very well you may escort her, however if there are any Autobots in the premises you must return immediately" Son was just pleased and jumped out of joy "Woohooo, Dreadwing before we go can we stop by my room, I've made something for your brother a while back" she asked him, to which both Megatron and Dreadwing looked curiously at her. She just smiled "You'll see later" with that she continued her reading and Dreadwing left for his energon ration wondering what it is she had made for his brother.
At Skyquake's grave
Dreadwing landed with grace on the grounds of the canyons, he first let out Sonam than transformed she started looking around "I'm afraid the area where his tomb lies has too tight spaces, we'll have to walk from here" "That's ok buddy, I don't mind a little walking besides its good exercise" and started walking with Dreadwing next to her.
When they arrived at the area she gasped a little at the sight, there laid a tons of boulders in a tomb formation, she guessed it must be the grave. As Dreadwing was kneeling near the grave Son took out a piece of metal with writing on it, Dreadwing looked confused as she placed it at his brother's grave and stood still for a moment her hands folded and her mouth moving a little. He guessed she was praying for his brother, he waited until she finished and asked "What have you written on the metal Son?" "It says: HERE LIES SKYQUAKE; BELOVED BROTHER TO DREADWING AND HONORABLE SOLDIER TO THE DECEPTICONS. I'd figured he deserved such an honor, some of us humans leave such writing on the graves of their loved once so that others who have yet to know of their disease friend or family-member always know how to find them" she told him and smiled sadly at him. She took out her phone and a tune began to play out of the device, Dreadwing listened and closed his optics the music was quiet pleasant to his sensors and he felt a sense of calmness was over him, like a burden was lifted off of his shoulders and his brother was well within the Well of Sparks. They listened for a while, not noticing two figures approaching them.
When the music ended Son put her phone away and sat still for a moment, Dreadwing had opened his optics and smiled down at her "What was that pleasant music coming from your device, it made me feel as if my brother was here for a moment and reassured me he with our Decepticon brethren in the Well of Sparks" Son smiled and said "It's called Hear Our Prayer by Yuki Kajiura, some music tend to give you that feeling, and I'm glad you felt that way Dreadwing" and was about to hop in his hand when they both suddenly heard a clicking noise coming from behind them. Dreadwing turned around and froze on the spot, there in front of him stood the Autobots "Don't move Con!"
Just when you think things turn out ok, trouble starts again for my OC
BTW I don't own any of the songs written or used in the story either, you can look some of them up and judge yourself why I choose these particular songs and come on who hasn't thought of Knockout with such a theme song?
