Saphire's view
I walked into the main hanger and saw that Ratchet was working on the synthetic energon while Raf looked on and Miko and Jack were somewhere else.
"hmm, surprisingly stable" Ratchet says in general.
"hey, Ratchet. Is that synthetic energon?" Raf asks
"yes. in fact, I'm getting ready to test a sample" Ratchet says as I just leaned against the wall, hating the fact that ever since Amethyst was found, I have been under orders from Ratchet to stay on base until my sparkling was born.
"Saphire, I need to check on the sparkling's health before anything else" Ratchet said when he turned and saw me
I walk over and sat on the berth as Ratchet scanned me
"Your sparklings are fine, Saphire." Ratchet said
"Sparklings? as in two?" I ask
"yes, a mech and a femme." Ratchet tells me
"Will they share a spark?" I ask
"no, because twins have to be of the same gender to share a split spark. your sparklings are a mech and a femme, therefore they won't share a spark. also, no leaving base until they're born, Saphire" Ratchet said
"All right" I reply as I head back to my room to recharge some more not knowing what would happen later.
Amethyst's view
I walked into the main hanger as Saphire left it and saw Ratchet working on whatever he was doing.
"we just add some to this test engine" I hear Ratchet say as I watch him put some green energon into it and the engine fires up.
"It works! Bee!" Raf says as Ratchet interrupts him
"ut-ut-ut. this requires more work and testing before it can even be used as fuel, ammunition, and first aid since our own energon reserves are at an all time low. Our warriors are still severely outnumbered and are burning through our stockpile as the Decepticons continue to run them ragged " Ratchet says
"maybe they're doing that because they probably have figured out that we are low on energon, Ratchet" I tell him as I look up at him
"maybe you are right, Amethyst" he tells me
Just than the computer goes off
"more energon on the move." momma says
"again?" Bulk asks
"Bulk, we need more energon" I say as momma and everyone else looks at me
"it's true" I state
"their recent activity suggests a familiar pattern" Optimus says
"The Decepticons are desperately scouting for new deposits to mine" Optimus also says
"Autobots.." He starts saying but Ratchet cuts him off
"Optimus, if one of you come back wounded this time, well, our energon reserves are nearly depleted." Ratchet tells him
"understood. Activate the ground bridge." Optimus tells him as he, momma, oppi, Bulk and Bee transform and roll out. Leaving the rest of the bots here
"Sometimes I wish I could more" I hear Ratchet say quietly.
I watch as Ratchet walks over to his work station and proceeds to inject himself with the synthetic energon and faints.
"Raynala!" I yell and she comes running in
"What happened, Amethyst?" she asks me
"Ratchet injected himself with some synthetic energon cause he wanted to do more than what he already does" I tell her as she checks on Ratchet.
After a few kliks, Ratchet wakes up, groaning.
"Raynala!" I yell again
"how can younglings be so loud?" Ratchet says in general
"yes, Amethyst?" Raynala asks
"Ratchet's awake now, Ray" I say and she looks overs and sees him.
"What were you thinking, Ratch?!" she asks him
"I want to do more, Ray" Ratchet tells her
"I'll be in our quarters when you realize that what you do is enough" Raynala tells him and she walks away
"any word from the others?" Ratchet asks me
I shake my head at him
~:Ratchet, lock onto Arcee's coordinates and prepare an emergency ground bridge:~ Optimus says through the comm link
I watch Ratchet lock on to momma's coordinates.
"I'm locked on. Arcee, decelerate ad return to base" Ratchet replies
"Save it, Ratchet. I'm too close" momma says
"don't be a fool!" Ratchet tells momma
"momma, please return to base" I say but momma doesn't reply back
"She's hurt" Ratchet says as the computer beeps
turning to me, "man the ground bridge"Ratchet says as he enters in momma's coordinates and activates the ground bridge and run through to help momma
"what happened?" Raf asks before I could ask and I glare at him
"I only saw the gory aftermath, but I hear that doc was a one-bot wrecking machine" Bulk says
"momma" I say as I hug her
"All right, what's your secret?" momma asks Ratchet after he sets Raf back down
"no secret. Just something I like to call Synthen." Ratchet tells momma as he tosses her a vial of the synthetic energon
"from the data that Bulkhead transcribed? I thought the formula was.." momma asks
"incomplete? not anymore" Ratchet says
I decided to go to the rec room where the other younglings were, cause I was getting bored.
A while later
I was walking down the hallway from the rec room when I suddenly scream as a bot is thrown through the wall next to me and lands upside down on the other side of the hallway.
I see that it is Bulkhead and shortly after, I see momma and Bee around the corner. I run to momma and stand behind her, kinda scared.
"what was that?" momma says
"ugh" Bulk says
"You have competition, Bulk. I'm a bit stronger than I used to be. Also a bit faster" Ratchet says as he does some type of dance and almost punches Bee
I stay behind momma, slightly scared of Ratchet
"Think you can take me, muscle car?" Ratchet asks Bee
Bee buzzes and shakes his head no as momma just looks at him as Ratchet walks by.
"momma, I think the synthen is messing with Ratchet's mind" I say to momma
"I agree, Ame" momma says as she, Bee and Bulk all stare in the direction Ratchet went.
After a while, we all went to the main hanger.
"momma, it looks like the Cons hit another mine" I say as the computer goes off beeping.
"Autobots, roll out" Optimus says
"shouldn't we wait for our secret weapon?" Bulk asks
Saphire's view
"it is unlikely we would need medical expertise on this mission." Optimus tells Bulk as I walk into the main hanger after my nap.
"but you never know when you may require additional firepower. Saphire can handle ground bridge duty" Ratchet says
"Time to put some hurt on the Decepticons" He also says
"Uh, what happened while I was recharging?" I ask
"Ratchet decided to inject himself with some synthetic energon and because of that he's been acting weird not to mention that Raynala won;t even speak to him right now." Amethyst tells me.
"thanks, Ame" I reply as I put in the coordinates and activate the ground bridge and watch them go through.
"Saphire, bridge us back" I hear oppi say
I activate the ground bridge and saw Ratchet come through, but he turns and runs back, and shortly after, oppi and the others come through the ground bridge.
"can't get a fix on Ratchet's coordinates" I say
"maybe the synthetic energon is messing with his signal" Ame says
"Keep trying. We got to find Ratchet before he finds Megatron" Oppi says
After a while, Ratchet came back online.
"Oppi, Ratchet's signal is back online." I say
"Bumblebee." Oppi tells him and Bee activates the ground bridge
"Autobots, roll out!" Oppi says as he and the others run through
I look around and see that Ame is no where to be found.
I look at the computer and see that she's followed the Bots.
"Bee, stay here while I go after Amethyst." I say
Bee buzzes and nods as he activates the ground bridge and I go through.
Amethyst's view
I followed momma and the rest of the bots through the ground bridge.
I hid behind some rocks while they shot down the Cons and I see another ground bridge appear and Saphire walks out.
"Saphire, over here" I say and she walks over to me
"what were you thinking, Amethyst?" She asks
"I wanted to see momma and oppi in action" I reply as I look at her.
"Amethyst, now is not the time to pull a Miko" I say
"Indeed not" I hear and I turn and see Megatron
"Megatron" I say as I activate my battle mask and my guns.
"I wouldn't't do that if you want the youngling to live" Megatron says
"Amethyst!" I hear Arcee say and I look behind me and that Starscream has Amethyst in his clutches.
"You have a choice, Primes. either I'll Saphire and leave the youngling or take the youngling and leave Saphire." Megatron says
"neither" oppi and I said
"very well. I shall take you both" Megatron says as he pulls me away from them and towards him.
We go through their ground bridge and onto their ship.
"Starscream, Soundwave, escort these two femmes to a cell. and have Knockout examine the sparked femme" Megatron says as he hands me over to Soundwave.
"I will not allow a Decepticon medic to examine me at all" I bluntly as Starscream tosses Amethyst into the cell and Soundwave gently pushes me in compared to the last time I was here, I was tossed in. 'must be because I'm sparked' I think to myself as Soundwave locks the cell door.
Rainstrike's view
I was sitting in my room, looking at the hologram of my mom before oppi killed her because she couldn't take it anymore and neither could I.
*flashback*
I was 13 vorns old when I saw oppi kill momma.
"I will not allow you to harm me or our femmeling, Megatorn" momma says as she stands in front of me
"why must you defy me, Moonfire?" oppi asks
"Because I am not scared of you, Megatron, like everybot is." momma tells him
"I cannot allow you to rejoin the Autobots and your brother, Optimus Prime, Moonfire."oppi says
"I can and I will Megatronus" momma replies
"Do not call me that, Moonfire" oppi says as he shoots her in the chest and I feel through the bond that she's slipping away.
"Rain, Promise me that you will join the Autobots someday" momma says as she slips away
"I promise" I reply as oppi drags me away from momma's body
*flashback end*
I turn off the hologram as I hear my door open and see Soundwave come in.
"what now?" I ask
"Bring my femmeling to the command center" Soundwave plays
Sighing, I get up from my berth and walk out of my room with Soundwave behind me
'I hope I can get away just for a bit to see Bee' I think to myself as I walk to the command center
"Ahh, Rainstrike" oppi says
I don't reply back to him, I just look at him.
"Lord Megatron, the two femmes are secured in a cell" Knockout says as he bows to oppi
"good. You can go, Knockout" Oppi tells him.
Turning to me, "now, Rainstrike, have you decided to get the Decepticon symbol?" he asks
"No. I refuse to align myself with the Decepticons. I would rather align with the Autobots." I say to him
"Just like your mother aren't you Rainstrike? and you know what happened to her don't you?" oppi asks
"yes. you killed her because she wanted to rejoin the Autobots after she saw you for what you really are" I said as I walk away from him and out of the command center.
I went to walk towards the holding area where the two femme were but my brother got in my way.
"Strike, oppi does not want you to go down that hallway" Bladewing says as he stops in front me of and looks at me.
Looking up at him, "What happened to you calling me Rain, Blade?" I ask, hating the fact that he just had to inherit Megatron's height and I had my mom's height.
"Oppi has decreed that everycon on this ship is to address you as Strike and no other designation until.." Blade said but I interrupt him
"until I decide to get the fragging Con symbol on my arm?" I state
"yes. Why must you be so stubborn and like your carrier?" Blade asks
"because I can't stand for what every Decepticon believes in." I tell him
"and you can stand what the Autobos believe in?" He aks
"yes, Blade, I do." I reply
"Than it's good that oppi killed your carrier when he did." Blade tells me as he grabs my arm
"At least my carrier wasn't a Decepticon traitor." I retort
"do not speak of her, Rainstrike!" Blade tells me as he continues to hold onto my arm as he drags me to my room.
"I hate being kept in my room all the time, Blade" I say as he shoves me inside to my room and closes the door, forgetting to lock the door.
I sat on my berth and turned on the hologram and flipped through the pictures until I came to one that was of momma, her brother and me.
'momma, I will do join the Autobots no matter what.' I say to myself as I look at the hologram, seeing how happy we all were.
I looked at the time, and saw that I needed to get going if I was to meet Bee at our secret place.
I grabbed the portable ground bridge and put in the coordinates to the place and walked through to the secluded lake.
I had to wait only a few kliks before Bee appeared.
"Hi, Bee" I say when he stands in front of me
*buzzes: Hi, Rain* Bee says as he hugs me
"Megaton captured two femmes again, but I don't know who" I tell him
*Saphire Prime and Amethyst.* Bee tells me
"Bee, when you go back to your base, tell Optimus that Rainstrike will help Saphire and Amethyst escape the Nemesis and I will be joining the Bots." I tell him
*What about Megatron and Bladewing?* Bee asks
"They want me to be a Con, but I just can't. It's not in me to do the things they do" I tell Bee
*you rather be a Bot?*
"yes. my momma was Bot before she became bonded to Megatron. and she taught me the differences between the two and there were times when she left me with Optimus when Megatron was in a bad mood." I tell him as I watch the sun set.
*I'll be happy when you join, Rain* Bee says
"I will be too, Bee. I need to back to the ship before Megatron or Blade finds out I'm not in my room" I say as I hug him and he softly kisses me.
I stood there watching Bee drive away.
I reactivate the portable ground bridge and walk through it and into my room just in time to see my door being opened.
"good you're still here Strike. Night" Blade says as he closes my door again and locks it.
I turn off the light and turn on the hologram before I get into my berth and watch the holograms of momma and uncle pass by my optics until I fall into recharge.
