Hello everyone. Haven't been feeling well the past two days. Brother caught bronchitis and gave it to me so yeah. You get the picture. Here is chapter 6. Enjoy.

There was something poking me. I struggled to go back into recharge but it wouldn't stop. Whoever it was, they were now giggling and I knew that giggle. I brought systems back up and onlined my optics.

Jessie was sitting next to me. She started smiling when she saw her efforts were now rewarded. I got up and stretched. When I was done I saw that Moon and Jason were still asleep. I felt Jessie trying to climb up.

"You want a ride now?"

"No. I want breakfast."

I realized that the last time these had anything to eat was yesterday afternoon. Jessie must be really hungry. I crouched down so as to let Jessie up and wake up my mate. I started growling and nuzzling her. She turned on an optic and looked at me. Once she saw Jessie she sat up.

"Is everything alright?"

"I have to go potty. I also want breakfast."

"Do they even have human facilities here Cheetor?"

"Spike and Sparkplug are always here so there is a chance."

"Go find Ratchet first. I'll wait with Jason and see if I can't wake him up."

I nodded my head and jumped off the table with Jessie squealing the entire way. Her laughter was what probably woke Ratchet up. He came running out of his office looking at us. I used my tail and pointed at the child on my back.

"She needs to go to the bathroom and she also wants food."

"I'll see about getting some food for the children. Go down the hall and the third door on the right will be Sparkplug's room. He'll help you out."

I nodded my head and raced out of the Medbay. I followed his directions to find myself at a human sized door. I rapped my tail on the door and patiently waited for it to open. When it did, an older man came out, yawning.

"Can't you guys wait until at least 7?"

He opened his eyes to see me standing there with a little girl on my back. I smiled at him.

"Ratchet said that you'd let Jessie use the bathroom. She really has to go."

To prove my point, Jessie started wiggling and whimpering. Sparkplug stepped forward and lifted her off of me. He grabbed her hand and led her into the room. I lay down on the floor. The clicking of claws made me turn to see Moon coming with Jason on her back. He looked very drowsy still but he was able to give me a smile.

"Good morning Cheetor. Where are we?"

"We are at the ARK."

Jason shook himself awake at that. He looked at me with a shocked expression.

"I thought you couldn't come to them."

"We had no choice. You were injured and I didn't want to risk the Cons to come destroy another town if we took you to a hospital."

"Ohhh. What happens now?"

"We wait for a while. Do you have the things for our energon?"

"Yes. It's all in my backpack. Why?"

"They may have energon here but ours have different chemicals in it. They have vehicle modes but we have beast modes. Theirs have fuel for them in it. Ours have protein and calcium in it because animals need it."

"I'll start working on it again today."

"Ok. Feeling better sweetie?"

We all turned as Jessie and Sparkplug walked out of his room. Jessie nodded her head before walking over to me. But when she saw her brother she squealed and ran to him.

"JASON! You're awake."

He hopped off of Moon so as to hug his sister. Once he put her back down he looked over to Sparkplug with an endearing look. Sparkplug caught the look and chuckled.

"It's in the back."

Jason nodded his thanks before running into the room. Sparkplug turned to us.

"So I assume the two of you are the two cats Ratchet and Wheeljack were talking about?"

"Yes we are. My name is Cheetor and this is my mate, Moonmist."

A thump on my side made me look back at Jessie. She had a stubborn look on her face.

"I'm hungry!"

"Alright, we'll go get you something to eat. Ratchet probably has something for you by now."

"Yay! Bye-bye."

"Goodbye Jessie."

Moon stayed behind so as to wait for Jason. Mechs were now changing shifts, so the hallways were getting very crowded. Jessie didn't like being closed in. I could hear her whimpering. I tried getting their attention but they were either tired or were ignoring me. Another whimper from Jessie made me change everything. I gave off one of the loudest roars I had ever made.

"RAWRRRRRRRRRRR!"

All the mechs present immediately moved to the side and looked down to where I was. Looks of fear were on all their faces. Jessie giggled. Moon came running up and took one look before giving off a big sigh.

"What did you do that for?"

"I got them to move."

"And you couldn't ask them too?"

"I did. They didn't listen."

I ignored them as I walked back towards the Medbay. Jessie was kicking my sides.

"Go Cheetor go!"

"Alright but you asked for it."

I turned on my rocket and we jetted through the hallways before stopping in front of the doors of Ratchet's domain. I pushed open the door and walked in and kept it open so to let Moon and Jason in as well. Ratchet was standing there, giving us an incredulous look.

"Do I even want to know why you decided to wake everyone on this base?"

"They made Jessie uncomfortable. They wouldn't move when I asked them. So it's their own fault."

Jessie climbed down and ran over to a small table where a couple boxes of food were at. Jason soon followed her. Once they had sat down and made themselves a bowl of cereal did Ratchet leave to go into his office.

Moon and I used this time to enjoy just being alone with each other. We snuggled up to each other and let our purrs sooth each other.

"Thanks Ratchet."

"Thank you Ratchet."

We both looked up to see the children get up from the table. Jason went over to his backpack and took out his laptop and the energon we had given him. He sat down and started typing. Jessie went through his backpack and pulled out her pink and white jump rope.

Cinderella dressed in yella,

Went upstairs to kiss her fella.

Made a mistake and kissed a snake,

How many doctors did it take?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…..

I chuckled at the old rhyme. Moon went and sat down near her and counted for her. I sat down next to Jason and watched as his fingers flew over the keyboard. He was concentrating so hard that he didn't even know I was next to him. But something else happened that got all our attention. The entire ARK shook.

The lights flickered off and Jessie started screaming. A loud clang told me Jason had dropped his laptop. Both Moon and I stood up and herded the children together. Ratchet came through from his office, speaking into his comm while doing so.

'Was that Wheeljack again?'

'Unfortunately yes it was.'

"Frag!'

"You watch your language Ratchet or I'll tear out your vocal processor!"

We watched as Ratchet's blue optics met Moon's optics. It had seemed that he had forgotten we were there. We could all hear the whimpering of Jessie while waiting for the lights to come back on.

'Ratch, you there man?'

'Sorry. Yes I am.'

"Jack isn't too bad but he does need you to take a look at him.'

'Understood. I'll be there in a bit.'

Ratchet took a large rush of air and let it out. He looked down to where we were.

It will be a while before the lights come back on. Why don't you take the children outside for now? We'll call you once the power comes back."

"Fine."

Jason and Jessie gathered their things and put them back into the backpack. Jason put it on his back and climbed up onto mine. Moon leaned down so as to let Jessie climb aboard. Ratchet held the door open for us and we ran out of the Medbay. With our optics we were able to see in the dark and swerve around all the mechs that were walking around.

Many gave out shouts when they felt us go by. I could tell some of them were following after us. They were the ones that were most likely off shift. We pulled to a stop once we reached the doors and sunlight. The children climbed down and went to sit in the sun. Moon climbed onto a rising to keep an eye out for danger. I looked behind us to see who had followed after us.

Bluestreak, Hound and Mirage were staring around the area. They were a lot like their creations. Tracks, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe and Jazz were mingling in the entrance. Trailbreaker and Perceptor were looking at a flower that decided to bloom.

I could feel my tanks growling. The energon that Ratchet gave us had been helpful but wasn't like ours. I could feel my beast hunger growing and I could also hear Moon's tanks making its displeasure known.

My optics were locked onto movement a couple yards away. A group of jack rabbits were running around. I glance at Moon and found her to be staring at them as well. We looked at each other in the eye. I looked to the children and she nodded. She gathered over to a couple of rocks where they could climb. Once they would reach the top, I would have gotten the rabbits.

The other mechs stood where they were. I knew they were watching me. I could feel the tension. They probably thought there was a Con nearby. I stalked my way closer to where the group of rabbits were eating and playing. Once I was in a yard of them, I crouched down low.

I watched them before jumping out with a roar. The rabbits scattered. I lashed my tail out but missed it. I did a quick 180 and shot after another one. I could feel the blood of the creature in my jaws. I released once it was dead and dashed to make another kill. I swiped my left paw forward and heard the crunch of bones breaking.

The rest of the rabbits scattered while I picked up the two dead ones and carried them back to where my mate was. The children had cleared the rock and were watching me walk back. They had seen me bring back kills before but Moon didn't want them to see us do the deeds.

The mechs at the entrance were watching us with wide optic looks. Most had their mouths open and looked to be in shock. I ignored them and placed the rabbits at the base of the rock. Moon had the children climb on and leaped down it. They climbed off and walked off. Jessie started digging in the dirt while Jason continued with his work on his laptop.

Bluestreak went over to where Jessie was getting herself very filthy. Moon was keeping an eye on her. Making sure Bluestreak didn't do anything. Perceptor had gone over to where Jason sat and was asking questions. By the looks of it, he was getting very interested.

CLANK!

Everyone turned to where Blue and Jessie were at. Blue was pointing his fingers down at Jessie. She, on the other hand, was busy looking down in the hole she had made. She looked up at us with a confused look on her face.

"There's a metal wall in the dirt Cheetor."

That made my spark leap. Our base couldn't have survived, could it? Moon and I got up and ran over to where she was. We looked down and found she was right. There was metal showing through the dirt. Moon pulled Jessie to her brother while I started sniffing around. Moon was next to me in seconds trying to figure out which part of the base this was.

The other mechs had come over to watch. Hound was trying to scan the area but I continually snarled at him to make sure he got the message that this wasn't any of his business. If we could keep this place hidden that would make our stay here easier. Tracks was on his comm talking to someone. We ignored them and continued tracking and scanning. Prime soon came out to watch us. I hoped to keep this place a secret but it would very hard if he was determined to find out what had us riled up.

When we finally got an answering ping we both felt our sparks fill with dread. This was where the main computer was at. We could only hope that Rattrap had listened to Primal's order and delete all the information on it. If he didn't then I knew we would be screwed if any of these mechs would hack it. We would have to go down later when we weren't being watched. Moon immediately began to push the dirt Jessie had dug out back where it had been.

"Cheetor Maximize!"

"Moonmist Maximize!"

When we stood in our bipedal modes did we finally give Prime our attention. I stared at him while Moonmist took the children farther away while we talked. Prime just stared back before nodding his head. He turned to his men and gave them all a hand signal. Most didn't look happy about it but they all turned to head back in. Once they were all in and we were alone he gave me an expectant look.

"We both know what's here but it's best that you not know what's down there until we look over everything."

"Will you tell me what's down there later on?"

"I can't answer that. I just need you to trust me that there are some things down there that you don't need."

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"It has everything about us. It has things that could destroy the Autobots and the Decepticons."

"Very well but I can't keep covering for you.

I nodded my head and watched as he headed back into the ARK. Moon came back with the children. She held my gaze before picking the children up and going back inside. I looked down at the hole that contained something very special to both of us. It contained our greatest memory but also had our darkest secret and a shameful past.

It was all still here. The evidence of our past.

Sorry it took so long. Hope you all enjoyed it. Review if you want.
