"sorry, Jay." Jade replied, as Alpha knocked him out.. She glanced at Alpha and the others.
"What do you mean promised megatron!?" the judge yelled. Megatron grinned.
"Ah, you flesh-creatures are stupider than I thought!" Megatron lauged, grabbing up his armcannon. and firing at him. The human leapt out of the way as his podium was reduced to smoldering rubble. "Klutch, you just made a deal with the devil!" Driveby shouted.
Jade glanced at the others, then ran and took of, transforming as she went. Three jets that had been cirlcing swooped down after her. The humans fired at Megatron and troupe. He fired back, making two of the jeeps explode where they sat. The rest of the soldiers fired, hitting Starscream and knocking him on his aft.
"There's too many of them!" he screeched.
Diveby and her group aimed their weapons at Megatron. "We serve no on but ourselves." Driveby growled.
Hammertread grinned. "What she said."
"But!" Megatron turned to the tank. "you served me once, serve me again, and you shall have nobody to answer to but me!" he said in his most inviting voice.
HT took a step forward, making a fist. "Oh, I don't think so." He brought his fist back, but was distracted as Prime and several otherswho were outside came crashing through the front gates.
"Oh no." alpha whispered. She fired at them. "Can't you see we're fighting Mega-Dork?!" she yelled, firing at blast at Megatron and then at the seekers. "Prime, not to make a pun, but a little help would be Prime!" She growled, firing at Megatron again. She yelled as someone grabbed her arms and pinned them behind her back.
HT looked down at her. "Let them fight it out. The bots are on our side!" he hissed. Prime came over and tackled Megatron, exchanging blows.
The crowd screamed and fled their seats as the Sideswipe,Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Hound, Ratchet, Bluestreak, Cliffjumper, and Brawn came running in.
Megatron growled. "This isn't over." he leapt into the air. "You have not heard the last of me!" he flew up. "You will never be rid of me!" He fired a fusion blast at Klutch, hitting him squarely in the chest as he took off.
Jade circled around, barrel rolling from side to side to keep the jets from getting a missile lock.
She heard the three jets behind her on the radio.
she turned on her comm to the others. "I'm sorry. They'll never leave me alone"
"Missile lock... confirmed"
"I wasn't going to hurt them!" Alpha hissed. She then looked up and saw Jade and yelled. "No!" She broke HT's hold. "Jade..." Her optics darkened and her markings glowed. She let out a growl.
"Fire..."
The jet swung down and tipped one wing before going back up.
The two missiles whistled throught the air.
The jet slammed on her airbrakes.
both missiles connected with the muave and blue F-15's afterburners, and the jet exploded in a ball of flame.
"Jade!" Driveby yelled.
The human picked himself up from the ground as Prime came up. "hold your fire!" he rumbled. The soldiers lowered their weapons. Ratchet ran over to check on Klutch, and Indy stood to one side, looking extremely frightened. "I ...didn't...know." she managed, almost in tears.
Alpha whimpered and her markings quit glowing. She sobbed and let tears roll down her cheeks. She turned and glared at Indy and Klutch, markings glowing brighter, but she didn't attack. She just whimpered again.
Prime ran over to the human (the judge) and knelt. "Are you allright?" he asked softly. "I'm...I'm...fine..." the man stuttered, and straightened his glasses. He composed himself, then said. "I am hereby revoking the judgement made for Alpha, Jade and Hammertread. You are hereby released to the custody of the Autobots, and if Klutch ever steps foot on American soil again, HE will be held as a crimnal!" the judge ripped up the papers he held.
"I'll make note of it. for the records." he looked around for the record keeper, but she, too had fled.
"As soon as I find her." he mumbled, rubbing his head
Alpha smiled at the judge. "Thank you." She said, but then looked up at the sky. She looked away and sighed.
The judge nodded, then looked at Klutch. "Get that blue twit outta here!" he said. Prime nodded. Ty transformed, and Cap and Hammertread threw him in her cargo area. Jazz woke up. "ohhh, what happened?" he picked himself up. He looked at Alpha, and Indy looked at klutch, then Alpha.
I guess this means I'll nevah heah anothah psychic voice again, at least for a while, huh? she asked sadly
No...you'll still hear me...it wasn't your fault... Alpha whimpered. She sighed and looked away, teas falling.
Indy looked at Klutch, then at Alpha. kinda wish I could stay. I didn't know he was gonna make a deal with megatron. she looked away.
Driveby looked up, and ran for the exit, the rest of her team trailing after. She wasn't sure if she wanted to see.. Ratchet passed her up. Wheeljack and Jazz were right behind him.
Driveby's group stopped abruptly, and turned around, walking back to the Autobots.
Alpha looked at the judge, "Um...sir...Indy didn't know he was making a deal with Megatron..." She bent down and looked at him, smiling gently, "I know she's telling the truth because, like her, I can read minds. Please let her stay. She hasn't done anything except try to help us, but Klutch turned that against her." She said, hoping that the judge would like the girl stay. "Please, if it's up to you, let her stay. And Indy," She looked at her, "if it's up to you, stay."
Out in the country, a white farmhouse surrounded by fields stood out against the landscape. Upstairs in the attic bedroom, the blonde-haired young woman rolled over in her bed and woke up. "Ow." she put a hand to her head.
"Honey?" a voice called up the stairs.
"Yeah mom"
"are you going to spend all day in bed"
"no mom..."silence for a second, then
"Hey mom? you got any asprin? I've got a killer headachhe." the blonde rolled over and flopped a pillow over her head.
"Feels like a hangover. ohhhh." she groaned, and curled up under the blankets...
The judge nodded. "If that is what she wants"
Indy didn't look too sure. she kept looking back and forth between Klutch and Alpha.
Alpha stood up. Please stay
She looked away, and finally said "I'm sorry... I can't.
I'll make sure he nevah misjudges anyone again. And if I'm theah to read his mind... and anyone's mind who's unlucky enough to be captured, I'll know for sure whethas oah not theah guilty." she stared at the ground, then turned away and transformed, following TY.
Alpha sighed. Alright...see ya, Indy. And thanks for the help
sorry I couldn't do moah. there was a smile in that reply.
Hey, ya did all ya could. ThanksWheeljack was running also, but stopped short. "oh primus." he whispered. Ratchet just shook his head. "stupid Fraggin humans!" he threw a deathly glare back at the stadium"
Jazz gasped. he shook his head. "No"
"But..." Wheeljack finally said after a moment. "I thought..she was supposed to..dissapear, like a... he couldn't find the word.
"Any other time, perhaps." the CMO looked away. "maybe the device finally quit working."
Prime finished talking with the human, and Indy followed Ty back to the ark with Klutch. Ratchet had refused to fix him, leaving Ty to do it herself. She wasn't even sure she wanted to. The other Autobots transformed, and started to drive away.
Brawn and Cliffjumper paused for a second, but didn't say anything.
They had been the first ones to jumpt to conclusions about the group. and now they were regretting it. They silently transformed and drove off.
Alpha sighed and swallowed. She looked at the mech. "Well I ain't fixing him!" She spat, transforming and speeding off to the city.
Omega watched, sighing.
"Alpha, wait." HT transformed and took off after her.
Prime commed them both. "Alpha, Hammertread, prease return to our co-ordinated immediately. We have allready caused dichord with the humans, I do not wish it to go any further by you two wandering into their city. We are returning to the ark." He transformed, and started his engine.
Alpha disconnected her comm and tracking beacon. She didn't want to talk right now. The femme sighed and stopped right above a cliff. The bottom of her alt mode was covered with red dust by the time she had stopped, but she didn't really care. The femme sighed agian.
HT trundled up behind her. "Didn't you hear him? we aren't completely cleared yet. Some humans might think we're still a threat." he rumbled.
"So?" Alpha asked, looking back at him. Her lights flashed as if she was shutting her eyes. She turned and looked out at the sun before opening them again.
HT sighed. "I for one, do not want to have to go throught that again. so don't accuse me of being a patsy to Prime if I decide to throw you over my shoulder and drag you back." he threw her a wide smirk, hoping it would help to cheer her a little.
The black hang-glider circled quietly, watching them. He dipped, then caught an updraft and swooped into the cloudcover. "Well?" Beacon asked. "keep your wings on. I'm looking out for any trouble." Gunlock replied, his hang-glider mode barely scraping the bottom of the cloud he was in.
Prime and company silently drove up to the ark, and Ratchet and Wheeljack went one way, while the rest went another. Alpha had turned her comm off, and Hammertread had gone after her. Prime didn't like it. But Jazz had offered to stay behind and keep trying to reach them, in case they came back to the stadium.
Alpha smiled and laughed a bit. She looked up at him. "That may have worked on Indy, but there is no way in hell I'm letting you carry me back there on your shoulder." She said, smiling. The femme transformed and dusted herself off. "Comprende"
HT grinned. "Really..." he took a step forward.
Alpha poked his shoulder, smiling. "Really, HT." She said, folding her arms. The femme smirked and slid down the cliff into the shallow river below.
HT ran and jumped, landing with a collossal "WHOOMP!" and a huge spray of water in every direction.
Alpha laughed and covered her face as the water sprayed. She looked at him, smiling, as she shook the water off her head. "Oh real mature, Hammertread." She laughed.
"I know I am." he turned and waded away, towards the shore, looking over his shoulder to see if she was following.
Alpha stuck out her tongue and followed. "You're a jerk, you know that?" She smirked as the water cleaned the leftover dirt off her legs.
HT smirked. "Why thank you, I do believe that is a compliment." he ducked as Alpha send a handfull of water in his direction.
Alpha sighed and splashed him. "Yes it is, but you're still a jerk." She smirked, folding her arms and walking past him. The femme stuck her tongue out. "Big jerk."
HT mimicked her, then shoved her over and strode quickly past her.
Alpha frowned and shoved back. "I can do that too, ya know." She huffed, walking past him.
"Rawrr." HT sped up, passing her again. He shoved her over to the side again, grinning.
Alpha huffed and sped up as well. She shoved him over and then ran for it. "Told you I could do it too." She smirked, laughing.
Hammertread grinned and ran after her.
Meanwhile, Grapple, Hoist, and Inferno were watching the local news in the rec. room.
"... and there is quite a bit of controversy over the Autobot Klutch, alledgedly making a deal with the infamous Megatron, in order to sway the jury in his favor. The hearing ended in yet another fight between the Autobots and Decepticons." the scene switched to show the battle.
..." Klutch was held solely responsible for the chaos, and has been banned from ever entering the United States again. The official ruling has just been handed down from the supreme court, and is to remain in place from now until the day the war between the two factions have ended.
Also, the judge repealed his judgement of the three Cybertronians declared guilty. Alpha, Hammertread, and Jade." the reported paused as the screen switched again. Alpha was standing in front of hammertread, while Prime and Megatron exchanged punches, and Driveby's group and the other autobots shot back and forth with Starscream and soundwave.
Unfortunately, the ruling came too late for one of the accused, the ex-kintari flier known as Jade, who was shot down over the eastern edge of the property while trying to escape." the reporter mumbled something about repeating the past.
"Turn that slag off!" Cliffjumper yelled from the doorway. He stalked in, Brawn behind him, and went to the energon dispenser.
Terra looked up. She blinked. "Erm...I'm watching it..." She said nervously, looking at the two.
"Tough. watch something else." Cliffjumper snarled, snatching up his cube and sitting down at a table.
"No." Terra said, looking back at the TV. "I missed what happened, so shut up and let me hear it."
Both minibots stood up. "I'll tell you what happenned. klutch is a traitor and because of him one of our soldiers is dead." Brawn spat. Cliffjumper clicked the tv off again.
Terra yelped and hid. "No need to yell at me! I was just wondering! and even I knew Klutch was traitor." She shrugged.
"Hmpf." they sat back down.
Terra huffed. "Jerks."
Klutch looked up, to meet Ty's gaze. "Wha-I can't move." he said suprisedly.
"I know." Ty replied, fetching some tools.
"What..what are you going to do to me?" Klutch stared wide-eyed.
"Why fix you, of course." Ty returned to the magnetized workbench, smirking.
"but, I can still feel everything." the blue sportscar winced at the pain from his melted chest armor.
"I know." Ty's smirk dissapeared, and she leaned over...
"Gyaaaa!" The howl echoed around the solidly-insulated workshop as the black and white Porsche pulled up. Sunstreaker was standing gaurd outsided. The yellow lamborgini smirked at the sound.
It promtly dissapeared when the Porsche pulled up, noticing how low he was riding on his frame. "Well, did you find Alpha and Hammertread?" he asked.
Jazz shook his head. "No."
Sunstreaker looked across the valley. "I hope they come back soon. I don't want anymore trouble with the humans..." he looked down, knowing it wouldn't help the Porsche's mood to say anything more.
"Yeah, really..." Jazz nodded, bring unusually quiet.
Jazz nodded. He looked at the mech. "Can I go in?"
sunstreaker shrugged. "Sure. Although you might want to wait untile Ty's done 'fixing' him." he smirked in an evil-cherubic kind of way.
Alpha laughed and jumped over a tiny creek. She glanced back at Hammertread and then transformed, riding off into the forest where she would be hopefully camaflodged. The femme transformed back after a minute of running and waited for the mech to run by.
HT grinned from his spot behind some trees. in tank mode, he could use his thermal/energy imaging system to see her, almost as clearly as his night vision filters. The green grid showed a small white shape behind some trees not too far off.
He ran up like he was going to pass her up, and grabbed her, hauling her to her feet.
"I don't have time to play hide-and-go-seek right now. We should get back." he said, only half-seriously.
Alpha huffed, looking up at him. She sighed, but nodded. "Yeah you're right...oh well...twas fun while it lasted." She shrugged, transforming. "See ya back at base, HT." She smiled, driving off.
Autobot headquarters, this is hammertread, we're on our way in."
Prime nodded. Alright, Hammertread.
"Yeah, well I didn't see you out there in that fight today, tell me, where were you?" Cliffjumper pointed a finger at her. "And I don't even know who you are. Who are you, anyway?" he demanded.
"That's because I was tending to my hurt and starving brother, thank you very much!" terra snapped. "My name's Terrablast. I was one of Forceblock's experiments."
the two "hmmpfft"-ed again
"Isn't jumping to conclusions a bad thing? Didn't you do that to a few of your friends?" Terra asked, smiling, as Cyberfin walked into the room. "Bro!"
"Not so loud, sis..." Cyberfin groaned, holding his head. He walked over to Terra and sat down next to her.
Terra took up the oldest role and started to stroke his forehead as he closed his optics.
Cliffjumper and Brawn jumped up, hands balled into fists. "How DARE you!" Cliffjumper started.
"Enough." Prowl was standing in the doorway.
"Terra, why don't you and your brother go over to the officer's lounge. I'm sure it's quieter there." he turned back to the two minibots with a sympathetic expression.
Terra nodded and picked up her now asleep brother. She hugged him and then walked out of the room, velvet bat wings beating furiously.
Prowl watched the two leave, and Cliffjumper was still practically steaming from the ears, glaring after them.
Alpha transformed once she reached the entrance...and was glomped. "ACK!!"
Kit laughed and hugged her mom. "Mommy!"
"Help...someone...attack of the fluff ball!" Alpha laughed.
HT grinned. "Better you than me." he tromped past her.
"Help! Or she'll-"
GLOMP!
"too late." Alhpa smirked.
Kit was attached to HT's waist.
"Aack!" HT looked down at the grinning tiger cub.
"I am not a squeez-toy, or your cuddle object."
He tried to shake the sparkling off. Alpha just laughed at him.
He growled.
"A little help here would be nice." He said, raising both arms up and away from the child, who was dangling from his thick waistline.
Sunstreaker turned around and watched the clouds move by. "Well, at least he stopped screaming." He idly watched Gunlock circle for a landing. "For now." his smirk returned.
Ty looked up at the sound of the door opening. "Jazz, I didn't hear you come in." Ty turned around to grab a welder.
"Help me, she's a..." Klutch gasped as another string of pain lanced out across his chest.
"The pain... please... I'm begging you." he squeaked.
The Porsche-bot's face remained unemotional.
"It's your own fault." the black and white postively growled.
Ty blinked. her jaw fell open, and she almost dropped the welder.
Klutch looked a little startled. "I did what had to be done! to rid this planet of the traitors that threaten ouh cause!" he cried.
Jazz's voice was very quiet suddenly."How could you ever consider her a traitor? She made up for her mistakes."
"You threaten our cause more than she ever could." he finally hissed.
Alpha laughed. "Why? You didn't help me..."
Kit smiled and hugged him. "Unlce HT's okay!" She cheered. Her face fell. "Where's Aunt Jade?"
Alpha's face fell. She picked Kit off Hammertread's waist. "I'll...tell ya later Kit..." She sighed, hugging the sparkling.
"I wanna see Aunt Jade...
HT blinked. "We'd better go report to Prime." he said.
Alpha nodded. She hugged Kit and then put the sparkling down. "Be right back, kitten."
As Alpha walked off, Kit grabbed her hand. "But mommy, I wanna see Aunt Jade..." She whined.
"Kit, please..." alpha bent down. "She can't...you can't..." The femme sighed. "Kitten, I'm afraid you can't..."
"Why?" Kit asked, tears in her optics.
Alhpa sighed and looked away. "Because she's gone, Kitten..."
"What? No..." Kit whimpered, tears falling. "Not Aunt Jade..." The sparkling watched her mother stand up and walk away. She whimpered agaian and ran towards Omega.
Ht watched her leave. He sighed.
"That's what you think." came the quiet reply. Ty almost pressed the comm button by the door, but instead stopped herself.
"Nah. if he kills Klutch, so what? not my fault. I'm not gonna wrestle him to save some racist bastard." she thought.
Outside, Sunstreaker heard the odd silence coming from inside.
"Hey Sides" he commed.
"Yeah, bro." came the reply.
"I think you'd better get out here. We might have a tiny problem with a certain angsty best friend." Sunstreaker said.
"I'll get Prime." Sidesipe replied.
"No." sunstreaker interrupted. "We can handle this. No reason to get Jazz in trouble with Prime."
Sideswipe sounded hesitant, then said. "okay. But if things get out of hand, I'm calling him."
"deal." Sunstreaker glanced at the door, and waited.
Alpha knocked on Prime's door and wiped away the silent tears she had been crying. The femme waited for Prime to answer so she could report. She let out a ragged sigh. "Oy...I hate my life..." She muttered.
Kit ran right into Omega's arms and cried. "Not Aunt Jade, Uncle O...not like mommy and daddy..." She whimpered.
Ty thought she saw the black and white reach for his gun.
"It's not right for him to get away with it, but would it change anything?" she said.
Klutch looked up and mouthed "thank you"
Jazz punched him.
Hammertread stalked into the Ark, passed Sideswipe who was running in the opposite direction, and headed for Prime's office.
Alpha yelped as she was pushed out of the way. She blinked as the mech continued down the hall.
"Okay then..." She muttered, clinging to the wall. "Sides, ya okay?"
"Fine." he continued down the hall, running again. Prime narrowed his optics at the red twin.
"Something is going on." he assummed.
Hammertread walked towards Prime and Alpha. "What was that all about?" he asked.
"Oh yeah..." alpha nodded, unclinging from the wall. She dusted herself off. "No idea, Ht...I'm gonna find out." She grinned, running towards the red mech.
Ty folded her arms and watched.
Jazz glared at Klutch and punched him one last time before turning away
with his back to the mech. "Sorry, Ty...carry on with what you were doing." He grunted, turning to walk out of the workshop.
Ty blinked. again. Then shrugged.
But Klutch wasn't done. "It's too bad I didn't have more evidence. You would have gone down with her...traitor." the blue car grated. "Just because she's your little mechwhore, makes you think everything she does is right." he snorted in disgust. Blut optics narrowed behind the visor. Ty froze.
Hammertread and Prime followed.
HT glanced at Alpha
Alpha looked over her shoulder. "What, HT?" She asked, looking at the mech.
he shrugged. "nothing."
Sideswipe caught up with Sunstreaker, and they were whispering vehemently when Prime walked up. "What's going on here?" the leader rumbled. "uh, well..." sunstreaker glanced at the door. Prime didn't ask anything more. he just walked into Wheejack's workshop.
"Fine." Alpha shrugged. She followed Prime in and saw the black and white standing there.
Prime took a step forward cautiously, catching sight of something light colored in the black and white's hand. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's optics went round for a second with suprise, and they grabbed HT and Alpha, pulling them back out of the workshop.
"Jazz, shooting klutch is not going to solve your problems." he said softly. Ty was simply watching, not moving or making a sound.
he took another step. "It's not going to bring her back." he added in an equally low tone. The Autobot leader kept his optics on the saboteur, not knowing what he was up to because his back was turned to Prime.
Klutch didn't dare say a word.
Alpha yelped as she was pulled out of the workshop. She looked in and then watched.
Jazz mumbled sonething under his breath and then cocked his laser rifle. He glared at Klutch and fired, purposly missing his head by inches. "You're lucky I'm an Autobot." He spat, glaring at the mech. He turned on his heels and walked past Prime out of the room.
Alpha eeped and blinked, hiding from the mech behind HT. "Okay...he's mad..."
"Jazz!" Prime used that authoritative commanding tone." the black and white turned, and HT lifted an optic ridge at him.
And I thought I hated that git he thought.
"Hand over your weapon." Prime commanded.
Sunstreaker gave Sideswipe an accusing look. "I told you not to call Prime!" he hissed.
"I didn't. I just passed him in the hall." Sideswipe retorted.
Jazz growled at him. "I wasn't going to HIT him, Prime." He snapped, but shoved his weapon into Prime's hand.
"Here. Since you feel like like you gotts take it away..." He turned around.
"And I thought you knew me better than that." He threw over his shoulder, and then walked away, not stopping until he got to his room.
There was a bit of silence and then Alpha muttered, "Wow. He is pissed."
"Prime to medbay." There was a soft curse at the toher end "Ratchet here."
"I need you to go to Jazz's quarters and check on him. He's not..acting like himself lately." Prime could've sworn he heard the eyeroll, and Ratchet said "I'll be right there."
more muttered curses, and the link closed.
the autobot leader looked back at HT and Alpha, and then at Klutch, who wimpered softly. Prime shook his head. "Carry on, TY." he turned and left.
"Wait! you can't leave me he..." the words were cut off by the door closing.
Prime walked away.
Alpha looked at Klutch and growled. "You're only getting what you deserve." She said before the doors shut.
She sighed and leaned against the wall. "Alright then..."
Alpha? Omega's voice said over the comm.
"Yo."
Did you...
"Yeah..."
Why?
"Erm...can we switch this to brain?" Alhpa asked.
sure. Omega nodded.
"Thanks bro."
After three hours of excruciatingly painfull headaches and nausea, the young blonde womand finally rolled out of bed. (literally), and dragged herself downstairs. After the fifth cup of coffee and a cigarrette, she finally looked at the clock. "3pm. oy." she took out her cellphone and looked at it. "You have no new messages." it said cheerily.
she groused something unintelligible about Primus and Unicron, and covered her eyes from the horrible pain-inflicting sunlight outside the country house. she slunk back to the dark recesses of her attic bedroom, and flopped down on the bed. She promtly went back to sleep.
"Go ahead, I can finish up here." Wheeljack nodded, wiping his hands on a rag before continuing his working on Bluestreak's side where he'd gotten shot.
Ratchet mumbled something and walked out.
Alpha sighed as she looked at Terra. "Hi."
Terra eeped and clung to her brother, who growled.
"Oh sure! Everyone act like I'm gonna rip thier head off!" Alpha growled, walking towards the rec room.
Terra blinked.
Cyberfin growled, but looked up at his sister, who stroked his forehead.
HT trailed after, and tried to look intimidating to everyone he passed
Jazz's living room was dark, and soft music of some sort flutterred from the streo in a corner, surrounded by several stacks of cds .
"Jazz." a voice whispered. It was a sound like a reversed echo, soft at first, then clearer at the end.
"Jazz, I know you can hear me..."
Jazz looked up. "J-Jade?" He asked.
"shhh... It's okay. I'm here." the voice sounded from nowhere and everywhere at once, like out of thin air. "I can't stay for long..."
"What happened?" the voice asked
the doorchime rang.
Jazz looked up. About what?" he hurried over to the door. "Should I answer it or keeping talking?" He wondered, standing in front of it. He turned around and walked back towards the couch
The voice waited patiently, although she was only dreaming, or so it seemed, and looked at the door.
Jazz sighed and ignored it. "Where are you?" he sat back down.
"Here, there... around." the voice answered, sounding like she shrugged.
Cyberfin snarled at him and tried to look threatening, but that only lasted until he yelled in pain when the drip in his arm was moved.
"Sorry!"
HT snickered at him. What..are you?" he asked, his curiosity getting the best of him.
"He's an experiment." Alpha muttered, looking at Terra and Cyberfin.
Both growled. "You would know, wouldn't you?"
"Hey! That part's behind me now shut up and lemme help!" Alpha snapped, grabbing Cyberfin's arm. She showed HT the brand both Terra and the mech had. "See? She's one...he's four." The femme explained as she took the drip out. "You don't need this anymore."
Cyberfin yelled as it was pulled. He narrowed his optics.
Alpha blinked, pausing. "J-Jade?" She asked. If she was a human, she would have been as pale as a ghost.
Ratchet typed in his override code, and the door slid open.
"Don't worry, I'm here. For a short amount of time yet." the voice sounded. Ratchet had an irritated look on his face, since he didn't hear it. "Why didn't you answer the door!?" he demanded.
Jazz jumped. "Sorry..."
Ratchet narrowed his optics at him. Prime wanted me to come down here and get a couple scans to make sure you're processing correctly. Don't bother arguing with me." he groused, walking past the black and white into his quarters. "I know you two were close friends and all, but did you really have to try and shoot Klutch?" he groused.
"I wasn't... actually... trying to hit him." the saboteur mumbled, getting another look from Ratchet.
"Yeah, well Prime seems to think so. He's even gone as far as taking your name off the duty roster till I can prove you're still sane." Ratchet shot back.
Jazz looked mildly suprised for a second, then his expression turned neutral.
"Whatever." he shrugged. Ratchet rolled his optics.
"Sit." the white medic pointed to a chair and pulled out a scanner. The black and white plopped down on the chair, and pouted slightly. "You know, Ty and the twins probably think you're insane right now. And I'm not too sure Prime is far from that conclusion, either." he said.
Jade giggled softly like the ghost of starscream, and hovered over the CMO, wondering how much longer she'd be able to stay here before getting yanked away.
Jade Alpha tried to call her with her mind.
she ignored it, knowing it would just get her yanked away from where she was.
"Hey Jazz, should I whap ol' doc hatchet one?" the voice giggled.
Jazz smirked.
"Really..." Ht trailed off. He looked at Alpha. "So that's what was on those video clips." he realized.
Alpha looked at HT. She looked away. "Yeah...it was...those ones that weren't shown..." She muttered, turning around to Terra.
"How are your wings?"
"Hmph. Velvety and amazing NOT full of holes." Terra shot at her.
Alpha visibly flinched, but said nothing. She nodded and then looked Cyberfin over.
The mech said nothing, but growled when she touched him.
Alpha finished and wiped her hands together, as if cleaning them off. "There. You'll be fine, Four." She hissed the last word and stalked out of the med bay.
CyberFin muttered something. "The name's Cyberfin! Not four, glitch!"
"What was that you whispered about Jade?" HT asked.
Alpha glanced at him. "I can hear her, Ht...something's...she's here...somewhere...not phisically, but...her mind is...hang on..."
Alpha shut her optics off and looked for Jade's mind. Jade?
the tank looked at Alpha. "She's dead, remember?" he said flatly. "It must be residual energy left over from reading her mind." he muttered.
"No." Alpha shook her head. "I know I heard her." She said before opening her optics. "I can feel her...I know she's here..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
and that's the toned down version of that. The original actually had my fave char. yelling, but I rethought it, and the Jazzman rarely ever yells. Plus being 'really good friends' with a conon character/causing drama/angsty is just a tiny bit over the line ofr me. I try to keep my fangirliness respectfull, for the most part. It's just that we were seeing how far we could take the whole drama thing in the RP. (LOL)
