catincanada: You make a valid piont, but the reason why will be revealed in later chapters, but Starscream already knows why he can't just simply remove it. YOU SHALL SEE IT'S ALL A PART OF MY MASTER PLAN!
Not a Guest: You've reviewd other chapters I'm sure. I'm glad you liked it! :)
Knockout'sFanGirl221: First of all AWW THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT! :) I've never been told that before about any of my stories.
Me: Ohhhh Ratchet! If you're trying to find the culprit who freed Clawstrike then blame the twins!
Ratchet: SIDESWIPE! SUNSTREAKER!
Twins: It wasn't us!
Me: *sneaks away to find Prowl glitching on the floor and sighs* Clawstrike did you sing the badger song to him again?
Techna woke up groggily and slowly. Primus she had a helm –splitting processor ache. Her helm was throbbing as she reluctantly stood from her berth. She checked her inner clock and was mortified to find out that it was already noon. She grabbed a cube of energon while hurrying down the hall towards the main hanger. When she entered the room she had finished the cube and discarded it. She saw everyone discussing something worriedly. They noticed her and shared a worried look. Techna stared at them in confusion.
"It looks like you finally woke up," Ratchet grumbled. Techna was too sore to even glare at him. Another flash of pain blinded her and she stumbled backwards before she was caught quickly by the twins, who had run up when she stumbled. "Primus Techna, what's wrong?" Techna looked up at him wearily as the twins helped her sit.
"I have a blinding processor ache and I feel like scrap." Techna mumbled. She noticed the lack of humans and her brothers and grew nervous. "Where are the children and my brothers?"
"You have brothers?!" the newcomers gasped. Techna nodded stiffly.
"Brains and Wheelie are my little brothers. No one ever knew since Megatron disowned them when he found out they weren't gonna grow any more than that." She replied. That just confused everyone even more and Prowl was even on the verge of glitching. "Scrap, I forgot that you guys didn't know. Megatron is my Creator, he's the reason why I was forced into the Decepticon faction with Starscream." The new autobots looked shocked, they had no clue that she was related to the Decepticon warlord. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker each put a servo on her shoulder. "But where are they?"
"There was an accident with the ground bridge and they were sent with the children to another dimension.
**10 minutes earlier**
Wheelie and Brains huffed in frustration as the Autobots continued to talk, ignoring everything them and the humans were saying. Wheelie looked to his right to see Bulkhead about to squish Miko. He let instincts kick in and he pushed her out of the way, somehow knocking her out of Bulkhead's path. He waited to be crushed but was shocked to find that Bulkhead walked right through him. Miko stood up and looked at the small bot in surprise.
"How the heck did you manage to shove me away?" she asked. "And why?" Wheelie shrugged and watched everyone start to walk to the opened ground bridge.
"Hey wait for us!" Brains yelled as they all ran after them. They groaned as the Autobots walked through the ground bridge and disappeared.
"Whatever happened to no bot left behind?" Wheelie snarled. Raf gave his charge (yes, he became Wheelie's guardian while Jack was Brains') a weird look. The mech had definitely gone through a ton of scrap.
**Back at the Autobot base**
Techna sighed and rubbed her tired optics. Ratchet noticed that she felt really drained and worried for her health. He made a mental note to give her a checkup once the children and bots were found. The twins were currently making sure that the seeker could stand without falling again. Once she finally stable she walked slowly over to the others. She zoned out and pretty much ignored everyone talking about the situation. At that moment she didn't really care. Another flash of pain hit her and this time she passed out. She faintly heard everyone yell her name. The twins caught her again and rushed her to the med bay with Ratchet following closely behind.
"What the frag is going on with her?! Why is she acting like that?" Ironhide demanded. Optimus shook his head sadly.
"Unfortunately I don't know. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, what happened in the fight between Shockwave and Starscream and Techna?" Optimus turned to the twins while asking the question. They had walked in while Ironhide was somewhat ranting. They stopped and looked at each other for a moment. Everyone knew they were talking over their sibling bond.
"We're not too sure. We saw Techna get flung against the wall so we shot Shockwave in the head. We weren't there the whole time." Sunstreaker answered. It took a minute but everyone's optics widened in horror.
"He shot her!" Sideswipe groaned and facepalmed. "His blasts are even worse than Megatron's!"
"And it's slowly killing her." Arcee added gravely.
"From the inside out…" Elita whispered. Ironhide punched the wall angrily realizing that Techna was hurt because of them landing.
"Brains and Wheelie!" Chromia gasped. Everyone turned to her in confusion but the twins and her sisters knew why.
"They probably feel her pain, or at least a fraction of it." Sideswipe said. Jazz's optics widened even further.
"We forgot 'bout the children an' her brothers!" Jazz exclaimed. The guardians facepalmed realizing he was right. They even had the coordinates needed to bring them back! Techna had passed out when they found out how to return them. Arcee activated the ground bridge, hoping they weren't too late.
**With the humans and minibots**
The five friends stared at the ground bridge opened up in front of them. It was either staying in the Shadowzone or running smack into Knockout. Wheelie sighed in annoyance and sat down next to his twin. Brains was rambling on about something or another when both bots suddenly doubled over in pain. The humans turned and paled as the minibots clutched at their chest near their spark. They knew something was terribly wrong and stared at each other for a second before simultaneously figuring out what was going on.
"Techna!" they gasped together. They looked up at the confused humans in terror.
"Something's wrong with Techna," Wheelie stated.
"We can tell through our sibling bond." Brains added. The humans' eyes widened and they shared a worried look.
"We have to go through that bridge." Jack announced as he picked up the pain-filled Brains. Raf picked up Wheelie (they were both in too much pain to run) as they ran through the ground bridge and between Knockout's legs. (and of course you know what happens with the arm haha) Another bridge opened and they didn't hesitate in running through. Finally the pain subsided for the small mechs so the humans didn't have to carry them anymore. The twins marched right up to Optimus with an angry look.
"Where's Techna and what happened to her?" Wheelie hissed. Everyone was surprised at the twins' anger. Optimus explained the matter, causing Brains and Wheelie to growl in hatred at the mention of Shockwave.
"That aft has gone too far." Brains growled. The others couldn't help but compare them to their Creator. They had the same temper and attitude, except they were extremely concerned for their older sister.
"What're we going to do?" Wheelie asked. Optimus kneeled down to be closer to them.
"Ratchet currently has her stabilized, but there's only one other person besides Shockwave that I know of who knows how to deal with this. He isn't exactly a doctor but he was the best scientist on Cybertron." Optimus answered.
"Starscream." The autobots all whispered together.
So Techna will be in stasis lock for a few chapters while the others track down Starscream. Yes, they want to contact him secretly without Megatron finding out so they can't send a message to the Decepticons. Hope you liked it!
