I think I have enough energy to pop out one last chapter today. I'm still kinda sleepy…all nighter. Bleh.
HAMMER TIME! XD
Oh, and thanks to all my reviewers. I love you all! –Passes out cookies- and Ironhide belongs to Chromia! He's HERS! Although I'll admit, Quakeshot and 'Hide WOULD make for a good couple. Hmmm…-thinks-
Ironhide: -just watched POtC- It would have never worked out between us, luv. XD
Quakeshot: -blink- What the Pit are you talking about? And DON'T YOU DARE, RICE! –glareglowerglower-
Me: Meep. –sweatdrop- I MAY consider it, but-
Quakeshot: NO.
Me: Awww…admit you luvs the idea! X3
Qs: NEVER.
Summery: Screamer finally responds to Shift's SOS, but is it too late for the Medic? And what of Barricade and Turret? Will 'Cade get his sparkling back?
Chapter 13: Starscream Finally Responds!
"Ngh…wha? What the frag hit me?" Shift sat up. She was still near the battlefield, but off to the side… All she remembered was that brute Sunstreaker, unimaginable pain, then nothing. That was indeed strange.
The sound of yells and the firing of guns reached her audios. What the slag?! Starscream started the fight WITHOUT HER?! "Slag him!" she growled, as she tried to pick herself up. She let out a gasp of pain and doubled over. Her internals felt like they were on fire…
"Ah, so you've rejoined the land of the living. Welcome back."
Shift looked up to see Ratchet standing above her. "You!" she snarled. "What did you do to me, you-"She winced in pain again. Ratchet frowned. "I saved your life. Be grateful. Prime didn't want you repaired."
She grinned at the Medic. "I'm a Decepticon!" she screeched, "I've BEEN an ungrateful wretch since I joined under Megatron…"
"Regardless, you won't be fit for battle for some time, so I'd calm down if I was you." Ratchet said, crossing his arms. "Make yourself comfortable."
Growling, she sat back down. Despite the fact that she hated him, he was right.

Unfortunately for the Autobots, they were out numbered, but not necessarily out gunned. Optimus Prime was taking on two at a time, an emerald green mech by Chainmail and GH. The ninja like mech was running laps around the bigger mech with ease, but even he had not gone unscathed. Chainmail was a lousy shot when it came to a gun. Ironhide, who had joined the fray at the same time as Quakeshot, was now targeting Starscream. Sunstreaker was blasting through Cryos and Voltgear like they were nothing. Quakeshot, however, was looking for Shift. The Medic and the Decepticon Trigger happy were best friends, and she couldn't leave her behind.
But what of Barricade and Frenzy?
-
"So how long exactly am I to be a prisoner?"
Ratchet was startled by the sudden question. "You'll be released once you're fit enough to travel on your own." He replied, looking pensive. He grinned slightly. "I must admit, I've never heard anyone swear so much at Sunny, not even me." The femme snorted. "I deal with GH and Voltgear. From what I've heard, they are quite like your Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. I've also developed astounding accuracy when it comes to throwing things…"
Ratchet had only one thought about Shift now: She was a mirror image of himself.

Bee was in recharge, while Floodlight lay curled up on his chest armor, clutching a stuffed puppy. The pair had gotten along surprisingly well. It was like Bee knew how the little mech felt, not knowing about his creators…
Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Turret. Sure, she got along fine with Floodlight, but she refused to listen to Bee at all. She threw a tantrum every time he tried to pick her up. So naturally, he spent more time with Floodlight. She was best left to her own devices anyway.

"Okkk, 'Cade, I disabled the security systems. Gogogo!"
This story shall come to a close soon, but not now. I think a few more chappies are needed before I release the sequal.
Look for Transformers: End of an Era coming soon! XD
