(Fourth chapter)
I walk down the halls of the autobot base with my hand on my chin * for some reason i have a feeling today gonna be an off day but i wonder why * I wonder the base with ideas in my head * i wonder if i should start throwing ideas in for hotshot to get the fact that i love him ugh what is a girl suppose to do around here to get the attention of one mech * i thought as i stopped and snapped my fingers.
I turned around and head toward the others only to find out hotshot was chasing the mini-cons with the children, my mini-con crescent moon was over there talking to jolt and leader-1 * of course he would be doing something like a sparkling would do * i jolted myself at the word * sparkling... i wonder if... no to soon for that.. ugh will my feelings ever stop kicking me in the rear * i thought to myself as i lean my back against the doorway.
I saw hotshot breathing heavy as he placed his hand on the hall.
"oh boy i don't like this game of tag " he whispers as he moved his hand to his mouth " Hey jolt i need you help it's your turn to be it " Hotshot yelled as jolt transformed and flew after the children and the other mini-cons
"Ha ha i think i'm starting to get the hang of this " hotshot said cheerful as i made my present unknown to hotshot while i sat there and lower my yellow visor to the ground
* will i ever build enough courage to tell him, what happen if i'm to late to tell him what if... okay enough ' what ifs's ' just tell him plain out * i said in my mind as i breath in and walks over to hotshot.
"Hotsh-" i was about to say something but got interrupted.
"Hotshot knock it off we got plenty of work to do around here" Red alert said.
"Hey can a bot have alittle fun around here" hotshot said.
"Not when i'm stuck doing all your work the last two hours, and what about your jadewing, did you get all your work done?" Red alert said turning his head toward me.
"Um.. well.. somewhat done.. i uh " i said rubbing my head " my head been unfocus a lot lately" i said truthfully.
"I understand, you may want to spill it soon before it too late" Red alert whisper to me lightly unable for hotshot to hear.
My face plates heat up. if i was in my human form i would be blushing madly right now * optimus and red alert new then that means, oh great my crush on hotshot has became noticeable * i thought as i turn away and walked off embarrassed.
"I'm really not in the mood to argue red alert and what did you tell jadewing? But i'll get my work done don't you worry" hotshot said.
"Nothing you need to know, but if you must find out go ask her yourself" Red alert answered hotshot question.
Optimus came in as i was leaning against the wall with my head lower in a thinking position.
"what's going on here?" optimus asked.
"er.. nothing sir nothing at all " red alert said.
" we were just talking sir just talking thats all" hotshot said.
"just thinking sir " I said * ugh can't this get worst* i thought to myself as threw my hand up stressed as it is my mind has been flooded with love ways and it was starting to hurt my processor as i slumped my shoulders down and walks passed optimus toward the command center.
Optimus watched me and turned his head back to them " We'll lets get back to work we don't have much time" Optimus said.
I enter into the command center and sat down on the large chair and relax a bit only to set my elbows on the computer control and lay my head in my hands * ugh what am i gonna do i can't just walk up and say ' hi hotshot i love you mate ' no thats just stupid, ugh * i thought to myself as i heard the mini-con signal and got up.
I race over to the other quickly as i shouted " I'm ready sir, lets go wrestle some decepticows " i said as i walk to them slowly.
Optimus nodded his head and turn to me " Men prepare to launch, jade i need you here, the place will be to cold for your smaller wings, and allow to use this time to clear your mind " optimus said.
I nodded and looked at hotshot and smile " i understand optimus, with the mini-cons and something else on my mind combine isn't really working on me, i'll come as soon as my mind is clear" I said.
"Alright" optimus said as four of the mechs plus the humans has made their way to the warp room.
I sat down in the command center and watch the video feeds that i was receiving and smiles * good luck hotshot * i thought as i saw the image of the area and shiver at the look.
* to cold maybe optimus is right, i really want to go but my mind isn't clear yet * i thought as is saw the video as i saw the image of four decepticon appear * great decepticows * i thought as i head over to the warp gate.
I look down and found my mini-con waving it arms at me as i open a privet link to hotshot.
: hey mate uh.. i'm warping myself to the south pole : I said .
: What now why? : Hotshot said.
: I kinda spotted something there and i want to get there before you know decepticons get to it mate : I said * i can't tell him i want to be with him it just didn't feel right* I thought to myself.
: Should i tell optimus and red alert ?: Hotshot asked.
I jolt and spoke quickly not thinking : no! don't if optimus knows that i disobey an order i would be in trouble, plus i told him mate that i would be there once my mind is clear : I said quickly * the only thing that need to be stopped thinking is hotshot and i believe i know that * i thought to myself.
: Alright then : Hotshot said as we both shut the privet link off after hearing a roar of his engine.
* does he have to do that ! * i thought to myself as i transformed into my alt and with my mini-con attaching itself onto the right lower wing as it activated transforming my body with a pair of second wings wrapped around my alt form as i smile * now this is sweet, laser proof armor * I thought to myself as the warp activated and sending me to the south pole in a different location of course.
I began to fly around for a few hours before flying pass who i thought i saw was hotshot as i looked again and smiled i knew i was right and flew over him and pass him as i flew over a large earth crack
"what this two autobots sorry bad boy but your going down" starscream said.
I looked up and shot up after him as i activated my blasters and fired at him while he fires at hotshot as i heard starscream said * ugh his voice is to screechy no wonder he called starscream and he ticking this rodeo off* i thought as i dove after starscream and rammed straight into him as i transformed in mid-air at the same time starscream did.
"Don't even think about it starscream" i said.
"And what are you gonna do autobot" starscream said.
"Yall do nothing but hurt poor mini-cons, not letting ya get this one, so take your turkey size rare and head to your bull cow megatron mate" i said with my cowboy accent and starscream didn't like it he was angry for what i said as i activated my neutron blast and pointed at starscream.
I saw starscream fire one more blast at hotshot as i saw hotshot feel off the cliff " no no HOTSHOT!" I yelled as i felt tears forming in under my visor and sliding down my face.
* i knew i should've told him * I thought as i glare at starscream and began to fire my neutron blaster at starscream for a bit as i hear jolt wirring fans and turned my head as i saw hotshot, jolt and carlos on top of the cliff * hot shot oh thank goodness* i thought to as i lift my visor and rubbed my optics clean and lower it back down.
"Oh no starscream and jadewing are at it" Carlos said
"Yeah no kiddin" hotshot said.
"Starscream don't even think about it you hoedown ties not gonna get mini-con" I said as i flipped my neutron blasted and my second pair of wings came out and wrapped around me as starscream take fire upon me, allowing the laser to bounce off me.
" So that your mini-con power, only to shield you, useless " Starscream said with a laughter.
"Hey starwimp, have you heard the word drop down and tie up " I said as starscream glared at.
"The names starscream!" He yelled as i tossed my energy rope around starscream leg and pulled it as he flung down as i pulled my rope toward me.
"Megatron look, the mini-con but no sign of starscream" Demolisher said.
I had gritted my teeth as i pulled on my rope * come on stay down * i said in my mind as i saw starscream fire one of cannon at me and hitting me right in the weakest spot all seeker had, my wings as i felt the jolt in pain but still managed to let the laser bounce off it and slam straight into the rope breaking it.
* no not good * I ran at starscream as he armed lock in battle, only i manage to toss him to the side as i grip onto me tightly and throwing my onto my back as i flipped and spun.
" Starwimp you are so gonna regret ticking the wrong rancher" i said with the cowboy accent.
"Hmph too late autobots i was here first so that mini-con is mine " Starscream said.
"Tch why right, not in your life time mate" I said as i stood up and ran at starscream as i toss a punch at him.
Starscream ducked my punch as i felt him kick me in the lower stomach as i flew back only to slam into the ground and sliding toward the edge of the cliff. I knew the edge was loss enough for my weight to stand up but i didn't both to move. my head starting to feel light i knew something was wrong and the cold was getting to my smaller body.
I watch starscream turn to hotshot as i didn't bother to move.
"Jade wing " hotshot said as he turn to starscream " sorry but my job is to keep the mini-con out of the hands of decepticon like you " i heard hotshot said.
Starscream chuckles " tough talk but your out number look behind you " starscream said.
I turn my head behind hotshot and saw two more decepticon coming in as i try to move but my body giving way to the edge of the cliff, my mini-con detached itself from me, removing the protective wings from my body as i look at it and nodded letting it know to go hide as it ran to hide.
"Hotshot just fight him, don't worry about me!" I said.
"Not a change, i was told to protect you and you are under my protection" Hotshot said
I looked at him * oh hotshot my hotshot * i thought to myself as i felt the pain in my wings * how did i get hurt when i wa... that right my second wings from my mini-con cant cover my hole body* i thought to myself as i grit my teeth as i force myself to stand and ran as the cliff claps under me as i move only to slide behind hotshot.
"Go i'll try to hold them off!" i said.
"Hang on i got an idea" hotshot said.
I saw jolt fans move as hotshot drove toward starscream as starscream fired his cannon and was pushed back as hotshot drove toward a rock as laser were shot at hotshot as i jolted my head and smirks.
"You disappoint me starscr-" megatron tried to finished but got interrupted.
"hey megacow! why don't ya round up for cow licking team and high tail it out of here " I said with a yell * always enjoy seeing him look like a cow with horns* i thought.
"Silence Autobot!" Megatron said as he turned toward me and fires his cannon at me.
I widen my optics from under my visor and jumped to the side feeling the laser gazing the lower part of my wing and my back as i grit my teeth more in pain as i ran while he continue to fire at me as i jumped behind the rock, holding my injury wound.
* maybe not as good as i thought of saying that * I thought again.
"Megatron i.." starscream said.
"Enough of you excuses " megatron said.
"I say it serves him right trying to be a one man army and i think the girl did more damage then he did " Demolisher said.
"Yeah! he look like he gotten beaten up by the girl autobot! but now he a pile of trash" Cyclonus said with a crackle laughter.
"That's enough we gotta mini-con to catch" megatron said.
I watched from behind the rock and listen silently, trying to endure the pain on my back and wings.
"We'll boys it's been a slice " hotshot said as he skidded his tired in the snow and took off with cyclonus following behind.
*Get now i'm stuck like a needle in a haystack, my rope is snapped and my ammunition is running low and if i throw anymore comments at megatron i'm sure to get shot.. and hotshot stuck with carlos in him with cyclonus on his tail ugh what to do!* I yelled inside my head as i watched.
I heard firing coming from demolisher as i looked over the rock and watched hotshot, i mentally forced myself to transformed and fly after cyclonus, knowing the cold will hurt my damage wing but i decided to stick with hotshot throughout the battle.
I flew up above cyclonus as i nose-dived down onto his side, making him lose his balance in the air as i flew next to hotshot.
"Hey i thought you were hurt jade" hotshot said with a worried tone.
"I am but i'm risking my life to save yall the trouble of not getting hurt or worrying the daylights out of me mate" i said in a replied of wincing of the cold air against my wing.
Cyclonus didn't waste no time in regaining his balance as he fired upon us as hotshot turned i followed along with him dodging the laser being fired on us by cyclonus.
"Can't you hit on the broad side of a barn cyclonus your aiming is sucking mate" i said with a smirk forming.
* I know this isn't time for jokes up this is funny he can't hit worth anything!* i thought to myself as i kept moving from side to side.
" hey look! it's hotshot and jade" alexis said.
"Don't worry they know what their doing" red alert said.
Hotshot drove as he skidded close enough to the edge of the cliff as i flew above them as i heard hotshot transformed and jolt saving carlos life i heard a laughter coming from cyclonus.
"Ha ha ha that takes care of your little friend now it's your turn laser pulse attack" Cyclonus said with him crouching.
"Alright if you say so " I said as i transformed behind hotshot and fired my neutron blaster at cyclonis, but little did i know my aim was off as it missed cyclonus right between the legs causing him to stumble back at bit.
"Hey what were you firing!" cyclonus said.
I had to chuckle at it with a wide smirk as i spin my neutron blaster in my hand "their all your's hotshot i need a rest like badly or my wounds will widen up" I said as he nodded, only for my to plop my rear down onto the icy snow.
I watched how jolt and hotshot combined and how hotshot began to fire his cannon at the three decepticons but i couldn't help but feel my face plates heat up * he is fighting for the mini-cons and i can't help but wonder how strong he really is when hotshot puts his mind to it... he is really my hot headed, show off, hotshot. I think i know what to do after this mission * I thought to myself and smiled weakly as i watched.
I heard megatron firing his cannon at hotshot and hotshot dodging it as hotshot growls and megatron walk up to him. hotshot grab me and moved me and himself behind a rock that was blocking the laser shots as i held onto my mini-con closely to my spark chamber.
Me and hotshot looked up and saw cyclonus holding his blaster right at us point blank laughing at us.
"Hello. Bye bye" Cyclonus said as he was about to fire but something pulled him back as his laser went straight into the air.
me and hotshot looked around the rock and notice red alert.
"Red alert! Thanks pal" hotshot said.
"Thanks mate i owe you one!" I called out to red alert.
"Doing my job and nothing more. It's seem you two love birds need a little assistance" Red alert said as he pulled on his wire that was connected to cyclonus and was released.
I felt my face plates heat up once more * i can't hold it in anymore or i'm gonna blow my circuits out * i said in my mind.
I watched as red alert was getting shot at as he slide down the icy slope firing back as one of the shots hit demolisher causing him to jump back and land on his back. as i turned around noticing hotshot was in megatron grasp as my optic's widen under my visor.
"Pardon me but it's your move my friend " Megatron said.
I stood up as i heard hotshot speak.
"Don't worry about me red alert just take em out " Hotshot said.
"no don't " i whisper lowly.
" you are so finished bolts for brains " Cyclonus said as he stood up " nobody sneaks up on me from behind and get away with it, me, understand " he said.
"so then what is he worth to you" megatron said.
Red alert steps back a bit as i held my head down, not once bother to move, frozen from sight of seeing my hotshot in the grasp of a decepticon leader.
"Ya'll know that it low down hog doggie move their megacow! using your own enemy as your shield fore shame, i bet you can't even hit a can if was standing in front of you " I said with my familiar accent.
This startled megatron as he shot a glare toward me but i didn't flinch " You know you're really getting on my never youngling " I heard him say.
"If so then drop the warrior and fight me like a really man and not come her like a hoedown chicken " I said with a smirk as i heard him chuckle with my smirk fading.
"Big words for a girl, haven't you learn to respect your superiors " megatron said as he fired his cannon at me.
I tried to dodge the laser but it came at me to face and it collided right into my left leg as i fell over * dang it why can't i do anything * i thought to myself as i saw red alert fire something like a ring out of his chest as it bounced off demolisher and flew around megatron as it smacked him in the back.
Hotshot transformed and drove toward me as he picked me up bridal style and making his way toward red alert leaving my to blush under my battle mask * thank god i have it on still ugh why am i so weak with emotions * i thought.
"You both okay?" Red alert said.
"heh never better" Hotshot said as he sat me down on my feet.
"Three wounds but not serious i can still wield a gun mate" I said.
Both of them and i laugh a little as i turn my head and saw demolisher getting.
"I'll show those three just twitch and your toast " Demolisher said as he transformed into a battle vehicle.
We three stood there surrounded as i heard chuckling from demolisher.
"Go ahead boys and girl give me a reason" Demolisher said with a poorly chuckling.
"Really demolisher, you can chuckle better than that, but sound like you got a saddle up bird stuck in your vocals " I said as demolisher went quiet but the quiet didn't last long when he growled.
"uh jade this is no time for jokes" hotshot said.
"Who said it was a joke all i was doing is just speaking my mind" i said with a smirk.
I heard a familiar truck engine as i turned my head and notice it was optimus prime, my body began to shake, the cold had finally came over my metal body as i fell over onto one knee with my arms wrapped around me. Hotshot bend down quickly with his arms thrown over me and forcing me to stand just to keep me up.
* great my body is starting to get weaker by the minute, my mind is so clear now * i thought to myself with a silent sigh.
I saw optimus detached his cargo as he drove off the cliff as i saw him transformed into his Bipedal form, landing on the slope of the snow and sliding down with his armed arms out and firing at the demolisher who has starting to groan. Megatron and cyclonus stepped back as i smirked.
"Aww what's wrong megacow too afraid to of to fight back " I said with a smirk.
"Optimus " red alert and i said.
Optimus moved in front of us three " I thought i told you to stay at the base but i am glad you came in time to help us " Optimus said toward me.
"It's always a pleasure to disobey an order when you feel needed sir " I said with a respectful tone.
Megatron grasped with a growl as optimus had his blasters aiming at the decepticons with red alert aiming his at the same place. I was still being held up by hotshot due to the weakness of my body in the cold.
"Retreat!" Megatron said as he warp himself back to base along with two of his decepticons.
"Oh no i forgot about carlos!" hotshot said.
I placed my hands on hotshot shoulder and smiles as i forced myself to stand and moved next to red alert.
I turned my head to see that alexis and rad had made it over there and began to help carlos up as i moved toward them, feeling the ground shake a bit, i knew it was starscream working his way to the mini-con. I tried to transformed but my transforming frozen on me and i realised i had small bit of ice on my body.
* Aww come on no ice can stop this rodeo but it's best if i just settle down a bit * I thought to myself.
I heard the screams of carlos, alexis and rad as i notice red alert was over at the cliff with his chassis open then i realise he used a disc to catch the humans for then fell as i sigh with relief over the over whelming of worried.
I didn't bother to move as i lean against hotshot for a little more support as my legs felt like they were giving out after i felt the ground shook one last time i knew starscream finally gotten ahold of the mini-con but then i heard a whooshing sound and lasers being shot then it shocked me as i heard starscream yelling as he fell from the side of the cliff.
Hotshot arms were still holding me up as it shocked me that we gotten the mini-con from starscream.
We have finally warped ourselves home with the new mini-con plate after a while of spending time in the warm base, i was able to move functionally as i stood beside hotshot.
" hey i wonder what this mini-con would look like?" alexis said.
"Your guess is good as mine alexis" Rad said.
I giggled " man its good to feel warm again after all ice places are not meant for small seekers " I said stretching my joints.
"Hmm maybe next time you'll think before coming to the cold areas " Red alert said.
"Oh ha ha mate " I said with glare at red alert behind my yellow topaz visor.
I turn my head as the mini-con plate began to glow.
"Whoa check it out. amazing" Carlos said.
The image of the mini-con appear and flickers as it faded away and gone back to sleep.
"We'll that's something new right crescent moon " I said as my mini-com nodded his head.
Few hours passed as we gone back to work, i for one was looking for hotshot and decided to stop and help red alert out with the equipment.
I heard the familiar footsteps and lifted my head up as i smile and elbowed red alert to look.
"I guess i owe you an apology red alert" hotshot said.
"You don't owe me anything we're on the same team remember" red alert said.
"I know i said some pretty hard things before and i'm really sorry, 'kay" Hotshot said.
"You don't have to do this you know" red alert said.
optimus made his way through as i stood up and walked next to hotshot.
"Optimus told me before we left that you were an awesome warrior back on cybertron " hotshot said.
Red alert stopped what he was doing and looked over his shoulder as optimus laughs with him raising a thumbs up and i would giggle.
" so are you, now i believe jadewing has something to do" red alert said as i stomped my foot at him just to put some scare in him.
I heard hotshot chuckle with a big smile on his father as i turn around and place my face close to hotshot and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
"That's for saving me back there " i then grab ahold of hotshot face and placed my lips onto his and kissed him lightly " thats for keeping me safe when i knew i was at my weakest " i said and walks away, allowing my battle mask activate to cover my heated face.
Hotshot stood there with a dumbfounded look on his face " what just happen " he said.
red alert and optimus erupted with chuckles as i left the room.
' that was quite a lesson hotshot learn that day and that he still carries that dumbfounded look on his face very cute i have to say so myself. And i guess we all learn work together as a team after that '
I stopped when i found out something " I FORGOT TO TELL HIM!" i yelled and mentally slamming my head into the wall for forgetting * i guess i'll have to tell him sometime * I thought to myself
We'll here you go next chapter is coming up soon so stay tune
CLM: Wow jade really gathered up some courage.
Jade: shut up!
CLM: you know you forgot to tell him.
Jade: I KNOW!
CLM: -snickers- well let just hope hotshot doesn't do anything stupid.
