AN: First let me give my most sincere apologies for taking so long to get this chapter out. Real life was making itself known in a loud, obnoxious and very persistent way. I will do my utmost to ensure that I update more frequently. I hope you like the chapter!^_^

I do not own transformers. If I did, it wouldn't be appropriate for kids. XD

Sam sighed as he looked at Bumblebee. He'd known coming to the brig wasn't the best idea, but he needed to talk to the Twins about what happened yesterday.

Flashback

"Sam! How are you on this fine and glorious day?" Sam just stared at Sideswipe's rarely used holo-form. Red hair stuck in each direction and dark blue eyes were locked onto his own.

"Fine I guess?" Sunstreaker snorted and slung a muscled arm around the human's shoulder. Sam tensed up and glanced uneasily first at the blonde Sunstreaker, then the other mechs in the room. He turned back to the frontliner and offered up a nervouse smile.

"What's up Sunstreaker?" He shrank back slightly as the blonde holo stared at him, however, before he could say anything else, Sideswipe's holo scooted closer to him and wrapped his arms around the startled human. Sam turned slightly to look up at the red head, when Sunstreaker leaned forward and began kissing his way down Sam's throat and to his chest. Meanwhile, Sideswipe tilted Sam's head back and kissed him deeply.

End flashback

Sam shook his head. Ironhide had gotten Sunstreaker and Sideswipe away from him before they'd tried anything else, but he still wasn't happy at what they'd done. He sighed and looked up at Bumblebee.

"Hey buddy, let me talk with Sides and Sunstreaker. I'll be out in a bit."

"Sam," Bumblebee began.

"No! I want to talk with them alone. I would appreciate it if the three of you would leave." Sam said firmly, from within the Twins' hands. Before an arguement could start, Ratchet spoke up.

"All right Sam, but we'll be right out the door. Call us when you're done." The medic said as he led the other two mechs out. Sam waited until he heard the door slide shut before he turned to face the Twins. An hour later, he walked out of the brig. Bumblebee immediately crouched down before him.

"Sam, are you alright?" He asked worriedly. The boy nodded wearily.

"Yeah, I just had to make a couple things clear to them. They agreed not to molest me again unless I give my permission. They also promised to stop the minute I say." He snickered at the look on his guardian's face. "Relax Bee, I don't plan on being molested anytime soon. It's too ... disturbing."

Bumblebee chuckled. "I'd imagi-" Before he could finish, the alarm blared.

"Deception attack! Mechs, to your stations!" Red Alert's voice rang out over the intercom. Ironhide rushed into the brig and released Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. Ratchet grabbed Sam and ran with him to the medbay. The medic brought the young man to his office and placed him on the desk.

"Stay here, I'll be back momentarily." He promised before he rushed back outside. Sam immediately went behind a stack of datapads and crouched down as low as he could go. Hopefully none of the decepticons managed to get this far into the Ark. Sam really didn't want to know how they would react to him. With any luck, the autobots would drive them off without any getting in the Ark.

He really should have known better.

Skywarp smirked down at the unconcious Ratchet. He'd warped into the Ark the moment the battle began. Unknown to the autobots, the decepticons had gotten several audio devices in hidden locations throughout the Ark. They'd heard everything Ratchet and Prime had told the squishy. Starscream had ordered the fleshling to be brought back to the Nemesis to be studied. The seeker snickered, hearing the little pest scream in pain would be fun.

Sam looked up as the door to Ratchet's office slid open. To his horror, it wasn't the medic who walked in. Skywarp grinned maliciously as he heard the fleshing gasp. Walking towards the desk, he stopped suddenly, his optics widening in awe as he beheld the boy for the first time.

Sam looked up at the seeker in confusion. Why was the mech just standing there? Shouldn't he be trying to kill Sam or kidnap him or something? He cringed as Skywarp leaned over.

'Oh shit, I'm dead!' Sam thought as he covered his head in a futile attempt to protect himself. He was quite surprised when instead of being crushed, he was gently picked up.

"Shh, it's all right Sweetspark. I won't hurt you." Skywarp cooed to the beautiful boy he held. Sam looked up in horror as the seeker gently nuzzled him. Skywarp smiled blissfully down at him.

"I'm going to take you back to the Nemesis, okay Sweetspark. I promise you'll love it there." And with that declaration, Skywarp teleported away with a horrified Sam.
