Chapter 18
Coby finally finished cutting away the large piece of charred metal and tossed it aside. Rolling out from under the giant arm that was propped up, he stood and stretched. Thundercracker was still offline, but he would make a full recovery. In the meantime, he and Lori were cutting away any infection they could find. The piece Coby just finished cutting had large splotches of black fizz, a common infection for a Transformer.
As he stood there, hands came around from behind him and covered his eyes. He grinned as he heard Lori's teasing voice say, "Guess who?"
"Lori, cut it out!" he laughed, and turned. It wasn't Lori, but Bud with a tape recorder in his hand. "Why you littleā¦!" Coby began, outraged. Bud ran off laughing. Coby would have chased his little brother, except he couldn't because a certain female had snuck up behind him and had wrapped her arms around him.
"I asked him to do that," Lori whispered, resting her chin on his shoulder.
Coby grinned and turned around. "I bet I know why," he said, and kissed her.
Thundercracker slowly came online, and his optics flickered. He looked two see the two Humans and made a gagging sound. "Get a room," he spat. They broke of their kiss and looked at Thundercracker in surprise. First Gunner had predicted that it would still be another day before Thundercracker was conscious.
Lori pulled out her PDA and contacted First Gunner and Galaxy Convoy. "Thundercracker's awake," she reported.
"How long was I out?" Thundercracker asked.
"Five days," Coby answered. "Frankly, you're lucky to be alive right now. You were practically turned inside out."
Thundercracker turned away. He didn't need this boy's care or friendship, but he still asked, "Why didn't you just kill me or leave me to die?"
"Why?" Lori asked back. "Why would we want to? We don't murder people just because they've been bad."
Speak for yourself! Thundercracker thought savagely. I've seen different. I've seen my entire family murdered by Cybertrons, or were they Destrons? He couldn't think strait.
Galaxy Convoy entered with First Gunner, and Coby and Lori left. As they walked down the hall, Lori asked, "Yesterday, you mentioned that you had a plan to take me somewhere for some R & R. Where are we going?"
Coby grinned, "Remember on our wedding day when Exiguiser suggested that we visit him on Speedia for our honeymoon?"
Lori nodded, "Yes, and we told him we had plans."
"Correct, but that doesn't mean we can't still visit him," Coby said, his grin growing wider. "I talked to Galaxy Convoy, and he's willing to let us go to Speedia for a week or two."
"Sweet!" Lori exclaimed. Though it had taken a while for it to grow on her, she had begun to find racing quite enjoyable. It was almost like flying, except that you were limited by a road or track of some sort. "When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow, if you want," Coby answered. She nodded, smiling. Already, she couldn't wait.
Next Time:
Lori: Hey, Exiguiser, who's that?
Coby: That looks like Nitro Convoy.
Exiguiser: No. That's his twin sister, and I wouldn't get on her bad side if I were you.
Rodimus Convoy: Why the hell is she shooting at me? I've never even met her before!
Lori: Did you say something to tick her off?
Rodimus Convoy: Exiguiser! A little help here!
Me: Next time on Transformers Galaxy Force: Thunder Storm; Part 3 The Dark Side of Speedia.
Exiguiser: Be careful, she has a deadly aim.
Rodimus Convoy: Great! Now you tell me!
Galaxy Convoy: Protect the galaxy! TRANSFORM!
