Sorry it took me so long. Haven't had much time for a while but now I'm back. Here's chapter 4.
"I've gotten really far on the energon Cheetor. I might be done with it sooner than expected."
"That's great Jason."
Jason was babbling on about how fascinating it was and everything. Jessica and Moon were over on the concrete, drawing with chalk. Moon had to be very careful so she wouldn't break the chalk.
"Cheetor?"
"Sorry Jason. I was thinking. What did you say?"
"I said did you hear that?"
Both Moon and I looked up and listened. The sound of jet engines could be heard. I stood up and pulled Jason closer to me. Moon also stood up and carried Jessie over to us. The sound was getting louder and we quickly recognized them from our last encounter.
"DECEPTICONS!"
We pulled the children into the shed with us. I looked out the window to see a large group of Cons fly over us. We had barely made it. But the relief was short lived.
A large boom went off before a quake shook the shed. Jason and Jess both cried out. We pulled them closer. The screams of the other humans went unheard by the children but Moon and I could hear them easily. It hurt but we couldn't risk being seen and putting the kids at risk.
A loud truck horn rang out amidst the gunshots and scream. We stayed put. We listened as it all started up again. We pulled the children closer as they started shaking and whimpering.
"Don't worry kids. It will all be over soon. The Autobots will get rid of them. Just you wait and see."

I watched as my troops went up against Megatron's troops. The cats were somewhere in this area. Most likely seeking help from some humans. Hound, Mirage and Bumblebee had long since left to go looking for the cats. But I also noticed the Seekers were gone.
"Give it up Prime. Those cats will be mine."
"After seeing the last battle I highly doubt that. They didn't attack us."
Megatron roared out and kicked me in the chest. I could only hope that my men find them first.

I brought my head up at the sound of approaching footsteps. I let go of Jason and returned to beast mode. Moon immediately followed me. Jason grabbed Jessie and held her close. The footsteps got louder and we waited to see who would open the door. The both of us were growling as the doorknob slowly turned. A bright yellow head appeared in the doorway. Bumblebee smiled.
"There you are. We finally found you. And you've got two new friends."
I stopped growling, as had Moon, but we were still cautious. Bumblebee just continued to stare at us. He took a few steps back but gave us a dazed look. He was talking to Optimus. Two more bots appeared behind Bee. A green mech and a white and blue mechs both smiled at us. I knew who they were.
/That's Hound and Mirage. /
/Do you think we should trust them Cheetor? /
/They may be our only option. I don't want to see Jason and Jessie hurt. /
/Alright. Let's go. /
Moon grabbed Jessie by the back of her shirt and slowly walked towards them. I knelt down so as to let Jason climb onto my back. I growled at them as a warning. All three immediately backed up. We stalked out of the shed with the children. We looked to the street. That was my first mistake.
Jason and Jessica started screaming at seeing all the bodies of other children around the area. That brought all the attention towards us. Moon ran with Jessie towards where Optimus was. I ran after her but heard the jet engines too late. The weight on my back and Jason's started yelp at me stopping in my tracks.
Starscream held the young boy in his hand. I snarled deep and low. I was pissed. I could hear Megatron laughing as Starscream flew down to hand Jason to Megatron. He was crying.
"If you don't want any harm to come to the child Prime, then have the cats come with me."
I could see the pain in his optics. Optimus nodded. He was like any Prime. He refused to let any innocent being be harmed. Jason was staring at me. They acted like we didn't understand what was being said. I saw Moon and Jessie standing behind Prime's legs. Jessie was crying for her brother.
"Step away from the black one Prime."
"Give the child to me first Megatron."
"You don't do it and I'll crush him."
I gave an angered roar that brought all their attention back to me. Megatron smiled.
"You want the boy. Go get him."
Megatron raised his hand and threw Jason towards a toppled and broken house. Jessica started screaming as she watched her brother fall. I did nothing but pump my legs forward and run past the Cons. I jumped into the air.
"CHEETOR MAXIMIZE!"

I watched as the cat ran towards the child before transforming. It seems that he needs to vocalize it to do it. Once it was over he grabbed the boy. He landed a few feet away from the house. He looked over at Megatron and hissed.
"MOONMIST MAXIMIZE!"
Another shout had us all turn and watch the black cat do the same thing. While the first cat, Cheetor if I'm correct, was a mech while Moonmist was a femme. She gathered the young girl up before running towards the other two. Megatron stood there dumbfounded. Cheetor made things even more confusing by addressing him.
"You will not touch them."
A green light turned on at the bottom of the rocket on his back. It spiraled up until it reached the top and a small gun was knocked off. As it came down Cheetor caught the gun and quickly aimed it at Megatron. That gun was powerful. Megatron was blasted several yards away.
We all stared at Megatron but I was the only one to watch them. The children gripped them tighter.
"BEAST MODE!"
Cheetor and Moonmist reverted back to their cat modes. Moonmist once again picked up the little girl while Cheetor picked up the boy. The rocket on Cheetor's back started and propelled him forward at an incredible speed. Two smaller rockets appeared on Moonmist's sides. They also turned on and she pushed herself after Cheetor.
I slowly turned to Megatron.
"I don't think holding that boy hostage was a good idea."

We continued running. We knew there would be only one place safe for us. The cave near the ARK. It would be the best place to hide and keep the little ones safe. I didn't have the heart to tell them their home was gone. We also had to get there before the Autobots got back.
/Cheetor, are you sure we should go there? /
/We have no choice. They found out where we were. They know we have friends. We can't let the children come to harm. /
/How are we going to take care of them? /
/Do you remember that the Autobots befriended several humans? /
/We gonna see if they can help us? /
/We have to. Let's hurry. We don't much time if the fight ended after we left. The Autobots could be on their way back. /
Our conversation stopped there and the rest of our run was in silence. Jessica had long since fallen asleep. My scans revealed that Jason was still awake but just barely. I could see the volcano. I could only hope that our teammates would get here soon.
/Cheetor when Hound and Mirage found us did you get the feeling?/
/Yes. This just proves that you were right Moon./
/How are we gonna be able to tell the others?/
/We'll deal with it when we see them./
The sound of coughing made me look down. Jason was struggling. I turned off my rocket and put Jason on the ground. Moon stopped and came back once she noticed I stopped. Jason was shaking and coughing. What scared me was that he was coughing up blood. Megatron had broken something when he had grabbed him.
"Cheetor, he needs help. I don't want to take him to a city. I don't want the Decepticons to harm more people."
"Then where will we go? You can't be thinking of taking him to the-"
"We'll take him to the Autobots."

I sat in the Medbay with the other wounded. Ratchet was ranting and yelling. Thankfully no had gotten seriously hurt. I was ignoring the threats Ratchet was giving the twins. I've got a feeling that we'll be seeing those cats again soon. But I was also still having that strange feeling.
"Optimus?"
I was brought out of my thoughts by a small voice. I looked down to see Bluestreak looking up at me with a worried look. I smiled at him and placed my hand on his shoulder.
"Yes Bluestreak? Did you want something?"
"You looked like something was wrong."
"I'm fine. I'm just thinking. I've felt I've seen those cats before. I can't remember though."
I noticed that it had gotten quiet. I looked up to see everyone staring at the Medbay doors. I widened my optics. Cheetor and Moonmist stood there with the two children. Ratchet ran over to grab the boy. It was then I noticed the child was coughing up blood.
"You will not do anything to him but help him. Understand?"
Cheetor's deep voice was filled with caution and something protective. We harmed the boy; we would have to deal with him. Ratchet nodded his head in understanding. He put the boy on a berth and began scanning him.
I finally got the chance to study them and found myself to be pretty scared of them. Cheetor's claws looked to be very sharp and dangerous. He had fangs the size of half a human arm. His tail was also bladed. On his front elbows were wicked looking blades. Moonmist's claws, fangs and blades were smaller but no less dangerous.
"What are their names? The children?"
"The boy is Jason and this is his little sister, Jessica."
"May I ask some questions about you?"
"No."
"Very well."
I didn't push it. He looked very surprised that I wasn't too. I watched as Ratchet worked on Jason while Wheeljack and Perceptor worked on the other Autobots. I noticed that Cheetor was staring at Prowl and Jazz. He had a very sad look in his optics.
Moonmist had climbed onto an empty berth and had Little Jessie cuddled up next to her. Pure love and adoration were in her optics as she stared at the child. Every once in a while she would look up and stare at the twins.
I would have to see if I could convince them to stay here. It would a very difficult task but one that needed to be done.
Hope you all enjoyed it. Please leave me a nice review.
