-RADIOACTIVE
The Past Comes Back ch. 15
In the Kaon cells with the girls:
Frenzy, Ratbat, and Rumble had taken up annoying Radio with cheers of her being their new danni and asking crazy questions. It tore Radio in two. She wanted to be with Twilight and Red but she also wanted to give the cassaticons the mother figure they wanted. Radio was on the verge of breaking down from the pain she felt in her spark.
FireRose did her best to ease the pain but continually ending up in a cussing war with Frenzy. He had taken to driving the femme commander insane though would stop once Radio would intervene.
Ravage sauntered down the brig stairs to the cells of the two femmes with Lazzerbeak and Buzzsaw. What he came across was a glaring match between FireRose and Frenzy. Rumble and Ratbat were hugging Radioactive who looked like she had just babysat twenty hyper sparklings. She was even beginning to twitch. Ravage huffed in annoyance.
"Frenzy! Rumble! Ratbat! Soundwave said you've had enough time with her. Get lost." Ravage ordered as Lazzerbeak and Buzzsaw flew into Radio's cell and landed on the cold ground.
"Aaww but Ravage. We was having hug time!" Frenzy whined as the other two huggers nodded in agreement.
'Kill me now. There's more. Oh Primus have mercy!' Radio mentally moaned as she banged her helm on the bars that separated her from FireRose.
'How 'bout I kill them for you?' Rose sent darkly.
"NOW!" Ravage roared sending the smaller cassettes running out of the bars and up to the base levels.
Once they were gone the flyers took opposite sides of Radio to snuggle. Turned out, that the flyers really enjoyed cuddling with Radio. Ravage stalked into the cell and gracefully hopped onto Radio's lap where he curled up to complete the snuggle circle.
On instincts of being a mother, Radio rubbed the helms of the flyers gently before she began petting Ravage causing the large black cybercat to purr.
"So I heard you two used to be human. What was it like?" Ravage inquired lightly.
FireRose and Radioactive went ridged and their faces darkened which slightly startled the three little bots.
"The deepest pit ever imagined" FireRose muttered, her tone laced with despair.
"What do you mean?" Ravage asked interested in this new information and began recording.
"Radio?" Rose called stiffly.
"It was all my fault." Radio shuddered a breath. "I lead us to the pit. It wasn't supposed to blow up!" Radio murmured.
"Radio, it wasn't. We helped, we blew it up. We went to that dreaded place together and we came to heaven together. You need to let that guilt go." FireRose stated sternly.
"If you would, we have time so tell us what this is all about." Lazzerbeak asked.
The girls shared a glance through the bars before both vented heavily.
"It started in our sophomore year of high school. It was going great. We had fun, learned and we all knew where we were going. Over weekends we would hang out and I would work on some crazy experiments with different machines. 85 percent of the time they would blow up. I could fix stuff and the others would help me out. The one time we go to a football game something goes wrong. We were there for Aqua, the aquamarine little femme, she was in band and it was big for her. We usually hate going to that stuff but for Aqua we would tough it out. The dean of students asked us if we could fix a simple laser light show box." Radio began slowly as if she herself was hearing it again.
"We were working on it behind the concession stand. FireRose, Kinetix, Shadow, Nightblade, Swiftwing, and I were all there. Mostly Swift helped me. Aqua was at the front of the stand getting us some snacks and candy when some guys from another school came up to her and started picking on her and being afts. We all stormed over to her side and told them off. We were barely gone for five minutes and when we got back to the machine it was making funny sounds and was sparking. We rushed to evacuate the area fearing the worst. We had just taken cover by the bleachers when it blew up. It took out half the stand and the roof. No one got hurt but something like gets people interested." Radio paused to take a deep intake.
"The government got interested. The thing had faulty wires and was old but some people just don't listen. Over the weekend they came in blacked out SUVs and took all of us at the brink of dawn. They just grabbed us in our pajamas and bolted. We spent hours being interrogated but it did not matter. They deemed us 'dangerous' and 'to handle with care'. Made us pack up our stuff and move to the dorms of a military academy. They thankfully kept us together. We went through training missions, classes, and being hated by everyone there. We did nothing to deserve the scorn that was forced on us. They judged us before they even saw us. The only ones that really liked us were the security guards. They used to take us on patrols and even let us wear uniforms and use the speed tracker. People actually slowed down when they saw us." Radio giggled lightly as FireRose chuckled fondly at the small memory.
"The worst part of living there was the bullying. We were targeted by the stars of the school and the dorm warden. If we even fought back against them we would get in trouble. If we did nothing and let them beat the slag out of us we still got in trouble. Once time, we were hospitalized due to the injuries they gave us. The teachers tried to help us but nothing could be done. Slowly, they stopped our communications with our families. We all started to feel the gab in our hearts from it and the bullying just made the cuts deeper. A few of us almost killed ourselves to get out but we were always stopped before too much damage could be done." Radio had to pause as energon tears trailed down both femmes' checks.
"But…but we stayed together and made it through. We had some fun times but the bad outnumbered the good. Every day the same torture. Some days we could avoid it but others… there was no escape. We tried to run away with our new skills but they would always catch us. One time we made it to the bus station when they sent helicopters to capture us with a giant net. We wanted to be free. We …we wanted to be home." Radio sobbed.
"Some of us had more trouble than others. So many fights, it took its toll on us." FireRose whispered.
"I am so sorry you had to go through that." Ravage said rubbing his helm against Radio's servos. The two flyers cuddled closer to her as they voiced their own comments in attempts to cheer both femmes up.
'Ravage, Lazzerbeak, Buzzsaw. Query: Has femme Radioactive accepted my proposal? Also, has femme FireRose Prime changed her stance on Lord Megatron's proposal?' Soundwave commed. He received a negative from the three. 'Then leave the femmes to recharge. Come back to the room.' He ordered in his usual monotone way but the cassettes could tell he was slightly frustrated and annoyed with the femmes.
Ravage and the flyers gave one last cuddle to Radio before leaving them to their musings. Slowly, both femmes fell into a light recharge with dried energon tear stains on their face plates.
In the girls' dreamscape:
"Hello girls. I am so happy you two are alright." Beta cooed as she flung her arms around the femmes. "The others are so worried. When MoonRacer told them where you two are they tried to come save you. Ratchet had to sedate them. Right now they are locked in the medbay. Silverbolt, Cliffjumper, Perceptor, and Jazz are doing their best to cheer them up."
"Beta what do we do? And where are we?" FireRose asked as she and Radio hugged back.
"Kaon." She answered gravely.
"Wait, didn't you guys say that we used to live underground here and do missions to get info from the 'cons?" Radio asked as the imaginary lightbulb went off above her head.
"Yes, and that is why I am here to explain what Primus came up with to make this work." Beta said as she released them from the much needed hug. "You girls remember that obstacle course back at the academy?"
"Yes, we knew it forwards, backwards, and sideways." FireRose answered with Radio nodding with her.
"One time Aqua got lost in there and we had to track her down. We still hold the fastest track record." Radio added as she giggled at the memory of Aqua freaking out in the dark passageways.
"Primus has made an artificial memory of one of your first missions. It holds the underground map of the passageways under this base and Kaon. There is a branch tunnel that leads from these cells to those tunnels. The information is already being downloaded." Beta finished.
"I don't really like the idea of fake memories." Radio stated softly with FireRose nodding in agreement.
"The memories are not truly false. The experiences you had are just switched to you being Cybertronian and not human. Think back on that mission with Nightblade back at the academy." Beta ordered.
The girls went to the memory of them running through the dirt halls and up a netal ladder to a ceiling vent grate. Removing it and crawling through the cobwebs to another vent grate that they removed as well before covering the sercurity cameras. They all fell out of the vent and onto each other. They quickly shushed each other before whipping out flashdrives and downloading the computers information. They hurriedly left the area, uncovered the cameras, and rushed back to the tunnels and running back to base where they began cheering and victory dancing.
"Yes." The girls stated.
"That was just changed to one of your youngling stage training missions." Beta explained.
"Oooohhh." They both gasped in understandment.
"It will take time but once the download is done make sure to tell the others your plan ot escape so they can pick you us." Beta warned before giving the girls one last hug before disappearing and leaving the girls to study their new download.
The girls were just onlining when Starscream and Thundercracker came down with their energon. FireRose and Radio groggily grabbed the energon. Radio locked her sleepy optics with Starscream's red ones and turned her stare into an annoyed glare when he did not leave.
"Whada ya lookin at?" Radio drawled drowsily as she took slow small sibs of the energon while not breaking optic contact. This caught FireRose's attention as Starscream crossed his arms and grumbled.
"Who are the Seekers of your group? I know every living femme seeker and I have never seen yours." He stated glaring at the commanders.
"Decepticons killed their creators when they were sparklings and they were put in hiding with us. Away from the likes of you." FireRose answered smoothly as she swished her energon around in her cube.
"A neutral in a group of Autobots? Highly unlikely." Thundercracker informed.
'Yo Rosie. I don't think they know. Only Megatron and Soundwave plus the cassettes know about us.' Radio sent with a smirk.
'Yeah we can play with these jokers.' Rosie added.
"Swiftwing has yet to find a bot to be her potential sparkmate but I think Shadow is dead set on being with Silverbolt." Rose tossed out to Radio.
"Silver is not going to let Shadow go. That mech is living on Shadow land." Radio chuckled.
"Which Seeker is fragging which?!" Starscream roared in frustration.
"Swift is our neutral while Shad is our Autobot. But Swiftwing would not go for the egotistic neanderthaths like you Starscream. She has more pride than to sink so low as to your weak standards." Radio sneered as Starscream stuttered.
"BURN!" FireRose cheered as she fist bumped with Radio.
"Starscream." Thundercracker called as he held the murderous Seeker back from offlining Radio. "Lord Megatron and Soundwave ordered that no harm came to the femmes. Let it go. At least you know the designation of the teal seeker you have been ogling over for cycles on end." He reasoned.
"Screamers in love! Screamers in love! L to O to the VE helm over pedes that he is! Madly, truly, deeply iiiinnnn llllllooooovvvvveeee!" The girls sang teasingly causing anger marks to form on Screamer's helm and Thundercracker to hold him back harder while recording the song for Skywarp.
Thundercracker began dragging the murderous Starscream out of the brig as the girls continued to chant 'Screamers in love!'
"That…..was too funny!" FireRose laughed as she collapsed onto the floor holding her sides. Radio was giggling manically.
After a few hours and a reviewing of the plan, FireRose and Radio were ready to act.
'Radioactive to MoonRacer. Come in MoonRacer.' Radio tried.
'Radioactive! Thank goodness! It is good to hear you!' MoonRacer replied.
'We have a plan. We know we are in Kaon, don't ask how but we know, and we have a way out. All we need is a pick up on the east side on the border. We will meet you there. Can you tell the others that and tell Twilight that I am coming.' Radio explained.
'When?' Moon asked nervously.
'We leave tonight and will be out early in the solar cycle hopefully. Oh slag I hear footsteps! Got to go!' Radio rushed.
'RADIO!' Moon called. She waited for a few clicks before rushing out of the medbay to tell the others. The girls were happy to hear that their commanders were using their helms to get out.
Optimus quickly rounded up a rescue team. They were taking two ships to meet up with the girls. In the bigger ship were Optimus, Prowl, Jazz, Magnus, Ironhide, Red Alert, Ratchet, Springer, Arcee, Elita, Chromia and Flareup. The femmes of Team W.I.S.H were in a smaller ship with FireStar. No one noticed Twilight sneak aboard the femmes' ship. The sneaky sparkling had overheard that the bots were going to get her danni and wanted to come too. Twilight settled down on one of the crates near the front and fell into recharge.
With the girls stuck in the brig:
They stared at the leader of the Decepticons and his lacky Cyclonus, who glared evilly at Radio with the memory of their first encounter fresh in his mind. Cyclonus quickly handed the girls their energon and spared one last glance at Radio, who stuck her glossa out at him, and left. Megatron turned to FireRose and matched her glare.
"Do you reconsider my offer? It has been four cycles." Megatron informed.
"SILENCE! I KEEL YOU!" She screamed demonically at him and temporary stunned the leader.
"She is having an Ahkmed moment. Just leave her alone. She is not in any negotiable mood. Please leave a message and we will try to reschedule your appointment to a more beneficial time. Have a good cycle." Radio chirped in an overly cheerful mood as FireRose growled.
"I will be back femme. And you will be punished for your tone and actions against me." He warned before turning to leave.
"Oh, and Screamer is in love just so you know!" Radio called as the large mech exited up the stairs.
"SILCENCE! I KEEL YOU TOO!" FireRose shouted.
"Clang!"
"OW! FireRose why'd ya have ta hit me?" Radio asked as she held her helm.
"Whoops. Sorry Radio." FireRose apologized rubbing the back of her neck.
The slowly sipped their nightly energon before sharing a look.
'It's time.' FireRose sent as she downed her energon. Radio followed her example and downed hers.
They both moved to their cell berths before scanning around to make sure nobot was around. They then removed a panel on the floor under their berths. Pushing their pedes on one side and back on the other, they slid the floor panel back on and were then consumed by darkness. They waited a few clicks before dropping to the dirt floor on their pedes. They straightened up and turned to face each other.
'We're not out of the woods yet. Let's burned rubber.' FireRose sent before transforming to her Cybertronian car form. It had her white flame paint job splashed on her deep cherry red coat. Radio transformed into her purple Cybertronian car that had on one side door her radioactive symbol and on the other her Autobot symbol. Her tinted magenta purple shimmered darkly with FireRose's dazzling red. Their tires spun silently against the dirt as they sped down the tunnel heading for home.
After hours of turning corners and hearing no alarm go off, the girls made it out of the Decepticon base and moved east bound through the city.
'Radio, how much longer?' FireRose sent.
The girls were on edge since they crossed out of the base. They did not know if the cons would be after them or if they were in the clear.
'Just a few more megacycles left and that is if we speed up.' Radio replied tiredly.
'Then let's pick up the pace!' FireRose ordered zooming ahead.
Radio's tires kicked up dirt as she sped up to drive alongside her commander.
After three hours the girls transformed back to bi-pedal form and began stealthily walking through the halls. They were under a busy street and knew any Con that had good hearing would hear them if they made one wrong move.
Stepping lightly as they silently walked down the dirt walled halls like ghost. Radio scanned the streets above.
'All seems quiet. I don't like it.' Radio sent.
'Let's get out of here.' FireRose added as they sneaked out of the danger zone and transformed again.
With the girls on their ship:
They were just about to land when Swiftwing walked past a sleeping Twilight.
"TWILIGHT?!" She cried in disbelief before scooping the startled sparkling up into her arms.
"What's wrong Swiftwing?" FireStar asked from the pilot chair before she turned around to stare at Twilight who stared back innocently.
"Danni?" She tiredly yawned.
"Swiftwing! What are you doing with Twilight?" Kinetix exclaimed.
"I don't know! I found her in the cargo hold!" Swift answered.
"Great. Radio's gonna kill us for bringing her into a possible battle zone." Aqua groaned in horror.
They all felt the thump as the ship settled on the ground next to the already unloading ship. Red Alert and Chromia were heading towards the ship.
"Whelp! Better face the music." Nightblade chimed nervously as they descended the ramp and came to a stop outside the ships. Red's optics went wide as he rushed over.
"Twilight?! I told you to stay with MoonRacer." Red stated sternly as he came to a stop in front of Swiftwing.
"Wan danni, opi." Twilight cooed sadly as she cuddled against Swiftwing. Red shook his helm in despair as the lecture died on his glossa.
"I know sweetspark. I want Radio back too." He exhaled. Twilight suddenly sprung up from her cuddle with Swift with a look of pure joy.
"Opi! Danni close! I feel Danni!" Twilight's optics shined in joy as she continued her cheer.
"Our team will go on ahead. It shouldn't be too soon until they get here." Kinetix informed Optimus as she too felt the return of the bond link with FireRose and Radio.
"Optimus, We're going ahead! Meet hyou guys there!" Nightblade called as she grabbed Twilight and transformed before leaving everyone in the dust.
"NIGHTBLADE!" Aqua, Shadow, Swift, and Kinetix shouted as they transformed and raced away, leaving no room to argue.
"Femmes. Nevah gonna undastan' 'em." Jazz stated shaking his helm as the girls' disappeared in a cloud of dust.
5 miles out of the city wall-behind a giant rock fixture:
The girls charged out of a secret exit and into the open landscape faster than Starscream can scream and raced out of the sight of Kaon.
One hour later:
FireRose transformed back into bi-pedal form with Radio following suit as they made their way across the sea of dirt.
