A/N: wow I would have never thought that someone would actually review this fic. I want to thank Storm Blue Lightning Saixfor reading it, I hope you will like this chapter.

II. Kepeing a promise


Scourge was standing on a gigantic cliff, the same cliff he stood on that faithful day when he first met Optimus and the Autobots. A deep sight escaped the Dragon's lips while he looked up at the blue horizont. The sun was shining down on the Jungle Planet which looked so peaceful, as if never touched by anarchy, war or worry. Earth was also peaceful again; Megatron and his Decepticons disappeared as quickly as they appeared leaving destroyed cities and burned down forests behind, but with help Earth soon regained his strength back. At the name of the Decepticon leader Scourge felt his whole system boil with anger and deep hatred. If he would have known then, if only he would have listened to what the others sayd then he would have never joined in the ranks of the Decepticons.

Lori was right, he was really a self-centered, ignorant, idiot. At the thought of the young human he first met here in his home he felt a pang of pain, but also warmth. She was really special, such a breakable body hiding such a strong and passionate spirit. She really was worth his respect; he smiled at the memory of her standing on his throne while pouting about the fact that he called her 'little sister'. One other sigh escaped his lips.

"If she would have been a femme I probably would have asked her to be my mate…" he said as suddenly his sensors alarmed him about someone nearing. The planet Lord looked down to notice his friend standing down there in his Beast-modus like he himself.

"Scourge!" yelled suddenly a soft voice and he looked down at the little girl who was looking up at him smiling and waving while sitting on the back of the blue wolf. She had long black hair and pale skin and all in all she resembled a certain fiery spirited girl who he had the honor to meet in his live, only her eyes belonged to her father and her liking for mechanics.

"Lori…I kept my promise to protect and to rise her when you are gone…, but every day I look at her it is as if you would stand again in front of me, just like on that day we first me…" he whispered to himself before he jumped down to the duo, landing with a great 'thumph' in front of Snarl. "Had you fun by Sensei?" he asked the little girl.

"Uhum, Backstop-sensei had taught me weary much today." she said smiling. They old sensei had decided that because Clara will stay on the Jungle planet that she should learn about it's rules, but also about many other things which were related to her human heritage and to that of other planets.

"That is god, now come you two it is time for lunch." he said while walking nearer to Snarl and leaning a bit down so that Clara had the chance to climb on his back. It was a bit strange to believe for the ones who knew the leader that he was now taking care of the girl since six full years and never complaining about it. Some of them who knew about his meeting with Optimus Prime and his followers heard about a young human girl who left a great impression on the Dragon, but no one of them knew how deep that young human had impressed Scourge.

"Yay!" Clara squalled in joy on his back as the two Beat-bots walked alongside each other in the direction of the castle.

"You know Scourge; I'm probably the one who knows you the best beside our sensei and I come to a realization." Snarl said in a way that Clara didn't notice that the two bots started speaking with each other.

"I know and what is this thing you have realized my old friend?" at that Snarl grinned, in a way he liked to hear from the proud Dragon that he considered the Wolf as a friend.

"You would have never agreed to take care of the child of anyone except that it was her who asked you to do it. You take care of Clara and rise her as if she would be your own daughter because she is her childe." after he finished he watched his friend who looked now at the ground.

"You really know me well Snarl, it is true that in my option was Lori something weary special and that is one of the main grounds why I promised her to protect and take care of her child, but it looks like that I'm not the only one anymore who gave her this promise and is trying to keep it." Scourge said in his Beast-mode while grinning.

"What do you mean?" Snarl asked confused.

"You, sensei and everyone who is living here on our wonderful planet is caring about her, they are teaching her and protecting her as if she would never have belonged elsewhere as if she would be a part of this planet." he said softly as he looked up at the blue sky, his friend following his gaze fully understanding what Scourge meant.

Since that day six years ago when her mother suddenly appeared on the planet and asked Scourge to take care of Clara... Since that day everyone who was living on the Jungle planet made it to they own deception to play with her, tell her stories, let her ride on them and to keep one eye on her.


It was two years back now that one day one of the bots who was keeping one eye on the little girl come running to Scourge and told him to come quickly to the clearing by the great waterfall. He, Snarl and they sensei were discoursing at the moment when the Cheeter-bot come and told him to come. When they reached the clearing they saw the four years old girl who was surrounded in a strange pale blue light while she walked on the water while giggling. The two younger bots only stood there they jaws wide open while they master looked at the child with interest. That was the same day he took Clara as his appearance. After a five days he told Scourge that it seems like as if the child possesses about a strange power which could be related to the fact that in some way she absorbed some of the power of the cyber key's power, but that was only partly one explanation. Sometimes Scourge wondered if Lori knew about her daughters hidden powers and was this the true ground she brought her to him? No, she would probably have brought her to Overdrive's planet, then the femme and she were really close, he often remembered her words directed against him about that he should not daring to attack her little sister. He found it strange that she choose him, the one who betrayed her trust, to give her childe in his protection. A soft patting on his back which his back sensors almost didn't register brought him back from his thoughts and he turned one head around to look at the girl sitting on his back.

"Are you alright?" she asked, her soft voice filled with worry.

"I was only thinking." he said and then begun to grin. "Hey Clara, would you like if we outrace the old metal dog here beside us?" he asked playfully.

"Yes."

"Hey! Who do you call an old metal dog you overgrown tin can lizard!" Snarl said.

"You, and now Clara hold on tight." he said and begun to run.

"Hey, Scourge come immediately back here! I was not ready with you!" the Wolf yelled after them then he also begun to run.
