A/N sorry for late update ^^; but i have just been offered a job so that's got me pretty distracted lol and the awkward thing is that i got offered two jobs O_o very awkward :P anyhoo i hope you guys like where I'm going with the next chapter when you get to the end of this one ^_-
New Recruit
I was making my way upstairs as dad was two steps behind, still in pursuit for answers.
I saw Miko and Bulkhead engaging in exercises to aid his recovery lying on their sides and lifting there leg up to about ten which bulkhead struggled to even get to nine but he has done well to get that far, jack and raf were checking for any sightings of alien activity the words 'tap dancing monkey' was all the confirmation i needed, and Ratchet was at the screen as usual.
Ah the relief of hearing again, though i couldn't really dodge the question dad was asking which ringed in my ears consistently, so i explained.
"So then i became deaf and was like that until, well now." I said finishing my explanation.
"So what took place was an act of defiance, irresponsibility, a false status, withheld information and all round recklessness." dad said taking all things into account and then coming to a conclusion.
"That's not how i would put it." I said awkwardly.
"And how would you put it?" he said folding his arms.
"e-er...a series of unfortunate events?" i said shrugging my arms.
"This is not humorous." He said sternly.
I scratched my head, "sooo... this probably wouldn't be a good time to ask...but" i started as a slight frustrated growl came from dad, "b-but seeing how bulkhead is out of action...and I'm in perfect health now..."
He gave me a hard stare, "o-okay that...that's cool I'll ask again in five minutes." I said.
"I have a suggestion, do not ask again." He said.
"Why not? I can fill in..." i started before dad threw his face in closer to mine.
"Past events demonstrated you have very poor judgement, you are not in any position to ask such a request." He said in a stern tone still.
"Okay say hypothetically i didn't go and all was as it should be." I said.
His optics wondered as he thought, "You only possess the strengths of close combat which you have demonstrated in the past i believe, but not long range which is what our battles are mostly considered as." He said.
"You said i could join the field one day." I said in an almost whine.
"Yes, i considered it, when we could forge weapons for your capability, but there have not been any autobots of 'inventor' purpose. But besides that you need more training." He said.
"More training? In what sense?" i asked.
"I need to have the utmost confidence that you would be able to dodge enemy artillery one tiny error could render you...it would render an instant termination, especially due to your..." He started then stopped.
I gave him a hard stare, i know what he was referring to, my structure right...my fragile bones and easy to peel skin?
"You are confined to base until i say otherwise." He said changing the subject.
"I'm grounded?" i said slumping my arms.
"Maybe this will give you time to read through basic autobot training as a reminder?" he said.
"Do i look two years old?" i said.
"I am serious, if you are to be joining us in the field you need to double your efforts, especially you." He said.
"Especially me? Why? I've gone through every human and autobot military training possible, even if i do lack in years of experience that shouldn't be a main reason to be dubbed 'special' training." I said.
"I just need to be sure. I was never pleased with your choice to be a soldier; i prefer you as you are, and this training we had started has altered you mentally and physically and if you continue..." He said.
"I'll be that refined to that much training that i would become a machine right? Precise in every shot, dodge and attack?" i said, He gave me a fallen expression, "this training hasn't changed me, i only act so when i need to be."
"i hope you are right, but that is not all that worries me, let us be realistic, we can take multiple hits, blaster fire are mere bruising in comparison and if you were to be hit even once you would be a..."
"A fossilized skeleton right?" i said blankly.
Dad was stiff for a moment as though trying to hold something back, "That is why i need you to be refined in every skill. But understand, that is not the only reason since you seem to be straying from sense lately." He said.
I sighed, "yeah i know what i did was no better than when Arcee stormed the Nemesis on her own, i thought i could find the relic quickly and go back before soundwave could get there but that was just the thoughts of a jealous girl who felt left out okay? its not a great feeling to admit when you feel useless" i said folding my arms.
he actually looked a little stunned, "i see." he sighed as he lent closer so that his forehead lightly touched my own, "maybe sometime i will bring you with us when engaging decepticons, even though that would be irresponsible of me but i see no other way for you to get the experience...better to bring you along then to push you away and see you do something foolish again. but i cannot promise anything" He said with slight guilt.
So to humor him i slapped a hand on his forehead, "that'll do pig, that'll do." I said.
A slight crack of a smile formed on his face as he turned, and was about to say something else before something else caught both our attentions.
"a cybertronian escape pod?" Raf spoke out.
"Here in earth's atmosphere?" Ratchet said slightly bewildered as everyone made there way closer to the computer screen.
Raf typed at his computer a few times as a larger image of the said pod popped up on screen, "autobot or decepticon?" Arcee asked.
"Impossible to tell given the image resolution." Ratchet said, he was right and the magnification nearly brought on a headache.
"In any event this merits investigation." Dad said simply with a fixed objective.
"Could be a trap and we're down one bot...Should we reach out to wheeljack?" Arcee asked.
"I can hear you!" Bulkhead announced sitting on the floor.
"i don't care if bulkhead isn't combat ready after that revenge stunt he pulled with Miko and Ellen wheeljack can stay rogue." Ratchet spat.
"An autobot may be in distress, Ratchet bring your medical kit." Dad said, still focusing on the pod.
Ratchet activated the groundbridge, content that he would be the one to go.
i in turn then made myself noticed,"groundbridge operator?" i said hopeful.
Dad glanced at me, then to raf "Raphael, operate the groundbridge." He said.
He then looked at me again, "I advice starting with 'rules of engagement'" he said before he left, he defiantly meant that to be humorous.
"Ha ha ha ha!" i announced sarcastically.
I slumped my shoulders as i wheeled up to the computer in a chair, "i advice starting with 'the rules of engagement'" i said mimicking him.
I sighed as i accessed the computer files, yeah sure I'll read through it again just to get on his good side again.
"Let's see, number one you have the right to use force against attacks or threats of attacks, number two you may not seize the property of others to accomplish your mission..." i sighed in boredom, "the only problem is this isn't my type of learning." i added leaning back in my chair with my arms behind my head.
"Learning what?" jack asked from behind.
"Autobot academy files for pre-schoolers or on the other hand military boot camp for pre-schoolers seeing how they are similar." I said spinning around in my chair to look at him.
"That's why we had something called the buddy system." He said already up to date with my actions and referring to him and Miko in New York.
"Jack i really don't want to be mocked." I said in a no nonsense fashion.
"I didn't mean it in that way; I'm just saying, soundwave could've done worse." He said sounding concerned.
"sorry for worrying you." I said as went into thinking mode.
"You can complain to me you know. It's all good thinking about everyone else but you're aloud to be selfish." He said.
I sighed, before taking him up on that offer "jack, do you know what my second greatest fear would be?" i then asked him.
"What?" jack asked.
"If somewhere, out there dad had a child, a real child, someone made of metal and who could easily fight alongside him, inbuilt weapons the whole package you know everything I'm not." I said as i slightly scratched my arm confirming my fleshed self.
"If he really thought your class of species was a handicap he wouldn't have asked you to take his place during that whole unicron thing." He said.
"Hmm." I said again i had a few points to counteract that comment but i left it.
"you are so paranoid." He said almost sounding amused.
"can you blame me? With all that's happened?" i said.
"like he said there battles are mostly long range, but be patient i am so certain that you will be able to be involved too, i mean what about the army?" jack suggested.
"Well funny you say that, when I'm eighteen i wanna join nest, which is the specially formed group that works closely with the autobots. and that i would really need to prove to them that I'm worthy seeing how its mostly made up of veterinary intelligence but I'm hoping my involvement with the Autobots can give me that edge." I said.
"well there you go, for now just relax, take it easy, i haven't had a decent conversation or a decent video game run with you in ages." He said telling me off.
"Y-yeah I'm sorry, your right i should chill not constantly be obsessed with trying to help because it won't happen I'll just wait for the danger to come to me." I jested.
"Yeah be lazy teenager like the rest of us, besides they'll be plenty of times to contribute in helping like saving miko for the 100th time." Jack joked.
i grinned, "What are you playing on now?" i asked.
"Just a racing game." He said.
"I'll give ya a race." I said heaving myself out of m chair.
We both sat down on the couch grabbing both controllers, "hey i've restored my social status with sierra so hopefully she doesn't think I'm a recluse anymore." He said having a casual conversation with me.
"you are a recluse." I said as the game started.
i was the red car and jack was the yellow, "hey quit running me off the road!" i scolded him.
"your on my side of the road." he argued.
"its not your road you tyrant." i said elbowing him in the side.
"hey!" he exclaimed.
"oh sorry jack you were on my side of the couch." i said mimicking him in the most obnoxious way.
"Raphael activate the groundbridge." Dad's voice rang through the whole of base.
"next time we need to make the rules of this road war." i said to him hopping off the couch.
"yeah first rule, no flipping over my car and setting it on fire." he said pushing me lightly.
even with the groundbridge open me and jack had a 'pushing' war however he got the last push as i set eyes on a new autobot, "oh. so it was an Autobot" I said getting my balance.
Miko charged for the autobot at light speed. "who are you?" she asked.
"e-er smokescreen?" he replied.
"We haven't had somebody new here since wheeljack, what's your story smoke? Where'd you come from? How'd you get here? How many blasters you packing?" miko said running alongside him then going up the stairs whilst asking these questions.
"So these are the life forms, we're supposed to protect? Are they all like this?" smokescreen asked slightly concerned.
"Fortunately not, but i too share miko's fascination with how you came to arrive on earth." Ratchet said intrigued.
"In a decepticon escape pod." Arcee said suspiciously.
"he was in a decepticon escape pod?" i said to jack as he merely shrugged.
"Still got trust issues huh? Tough crowd, the main thrust of combat operations was about twenty clicks to the hall of records, so things have been pretty quiet but the situation went downhill fast. The cons launched a massive surge that wiped out the last line of defensive surrounding iacon. I was the only thing left to hold them back, and let me tell ya i was pumped. I mean, this was my chance to see real action for the first time, to prove myself." The way Smokescreen was talking got my attention, the things he was saying was similar to my own...weird.
"Until everything went black. Cons took me prisoner and dumped me on a transport ship. But i managed to give a guard the slip and hopped in an escape pod. Apparently it was a long distance pod because it knocked me into stasis. Next thing i knew, I'm hitting solid ground, hard." He finished.
"The decepticons warship must have picked up the pods beacon and guided it to earth." Ratchet said.
"Which would explain smokescreens welcoming committee." Arcee said, she then laughed slightly, "bet those cons were disappointed not to find one of their own inside."
"Smokescreen, do you know of Alpha Trion's fate? After the fall of iacon." Dad asked.
"I wish i did, but that was the last i ever saw of him." There was a long pause and dads face had fallen slightly, "that's it. My life's story not exactly the glory i had envisioned for myself...until now being here with Optimus prime i knew i was destined for great things. I mean now that you have help, how hard could it be to end this war?" he said.
I cringed, not the best thing to say amongst a group of veterans.
An angry echoed growl came from the hallways a bulkhead came dragging himself into the main hall as his legs screeched across the floor. "Take a good look newbie." He said taking a few more struggling steps forward, "this is how hard." He said allowing Smokescreen to see the injuries of war.
"Smokescreen, i would suggest you take some time to become acclimated to your new surroundings, a tour of the base would be an excellent start." Dad said hinting.
"Sure thing!" miko announced, but a heavy sigh from bulkhead made her change her mind, "i mean, jack here offers a very informative tour." She said.
Smokescreen looked at him as jack gave him a slight crack of a smile as he looked at me awkwardly, "you go ahead." I said apologetic.
He scratched his head as he went down the stairs, with jack taking lead smokescreen followed.
Miko ran to bulkhead as she attempted to cheer him up as i lent against the railing, per usual. And my thinking face wasn't exactly subtle as it attracted ratchets attention. "aren't you supposed to be re-visiting some past lessons?" he asked.
"i don't need to, it doesn't matter if i read through it again for the millionth time, it won't change anything, i can recite it like a well known quotation." I sighed.
"your on hold for the time being then?" he said.
"for a miracle to happen." i said resting my head in my hands.
Ratchet then thought as his optics wandered, he stopped himself from speaking a few times before finally letting it out "what if i told you..."
"If you wanted to replace me you should've called wheeljack! I could've lived with that." Bulkhead frustrated out of the blue.
"No one is replacing you bulkhead, for one thing smokescreens too green." Arcee said.
"Well bulks as green as they get." miko said.
"What Arcee means is smokescreen still has a great deal to learn." Ratchet said.
"And once you have him trained then what? Huh? He's in! I'm a doorstop!" bulkhead yelled.
"Bulkhead your place with us is not in jeopardy but there is not dispute that we have long required additional fire power. It is essential that are team learns to work with a new recruit not against him." Dad said.
"Better hope the hot shots blasters are as big as his mouth." Bulkhead said. "How hard could it be?" he said under his breath.
"Hey everyone, check this out." Raf then said, he was so quiet i forgot he was at the computer. He put whatever it is he wanted us to see on screen.
"Don't tell me it's another bumblebee sighti...oh my." Ratchet then exhaled as he saw the image, i looked too but i couldn't make it out it was a little small.
"Red energon." Dad confirmed.
"Here. On earth?" ratchet said.
"Haven't you heard everything is on earth." I said.
"What's red energon?" raf asked.
"An extremely rare and volatile form of energon." Ratchet said. "Refined into fuel it provides the power of hyper speed." Ratchet explained further.
"We must have agent Fowler clear the dig site of all human presence, in the event we are not the only ones who have discovered its location." Dad said.
"Now you're talking." Came the eager voice of smokescreen.
"Let's scramble up some con circuits." Smokescreen said.
"Given your limited field experience, i believe further training is required before you are battle ready." Dad said, that seems to be the theme around here lately.
"Optimus with all due respect..." smokescreen started.
"Further more, we autobots live on this planet as robots in disguise you will need to obtain an earth based vehicle mode." Dad cut him off, nonetheless my ears perked up in response to being able to get to know the bot.
"In order to maintain a low profile. If that's possible for you." Arcee said.
"There all giving him that 'noob' look give the guy a break he just wants to help." I thought to myself.
"If you're talking wheels, bring erm on" he said enthusiastically letting comments go over his head.
"Let's go car hunting." I announced quickly as i ran down stairs, grabbed jack by the shirt and went in the direction of the exit.
"Ellen, seeing how you need to prove to Optimus that you can be a soldier maybe you should show an example of respect for their commanding officer?" jack said to me quietly making me stop just past dad's feet.
"Good note." I said to him, "i would like permission to assist smokescreen in choosing an appropriate vehicle form," i said speaking very seriously.
Dad lightly smiled at me, "permission granted." He said.
"We'll show you what our highways have to offer." Jack said to smokescreen.
"Hopefully something slick, fast and bold, like myself." He said sounding vein but only joking.
Me, jack and Smokescreen were lying on our fronts on a rocky Cliff side looking upon the motorway for smokescreens personal vehicle mode.
Though the traffic wasn't exactly constant, "so you were trained in the elite forces?" i asked i have to admit i was curious.
"Sure was, though there was a lot of... learning to do before i could get to some combat moves." He said.
"How long?" i asked dreading the answer.
"About five stellar cycles." He said.
I moaned long and loud, "that long? How did you not lose your mentality?" i said.
He laughed slightly, "i nearly did, but i just kept thinking that I'd be a soldier soon and that's what kept me going...but even now I'm not 'combat' ready." He said slightly disappointed.
"I know that feeling but at least you'll be on the field sooner than you think, I've got a few years before i can work with the autobots...as well as a few things i lack." I said.
"You want to help too huh?" he said intrigued.
"Yeah, and who better to help a human to get there then Optimus Prime." I said though i spoke wearily.
"You've actually been trained by Optimus prime?" he said sounding impressed.
"Er, yeah." I said.
"Wow, he must really think you're capable." He said.
"Nahhh, Anyone is capable with the right determination and persistence, but he says I'm still not battle ready." I said.
He then thought for a moment "Well it could be that you are limited to weaponry i mean human weaponry can barely scratch us according to what I've read up anyway, or as you said you still need a few years of training or maybe it's because your..." he started.
"Human?" i said.
"Green, i was going to say green." He said.
"Sure you were." I said.
"Who am i to judge a warrior by his or hers size, even there species I've heard stories of even the greatest of warriors being taken down by races thought to be weaker then our own and that's one thing i won't do is to underestimate anything, even though i still slip a comment in here and there. I mean what's your flaw?" he said.
"I can't attack from a long range position, only close combat." I said in a sigh.
"So what your lacking is a long range weapon." He said.
"exactly." I said.
"but i also think its because of your structure." He the said coming off pretty bluntly out of nowhere.
"What?" i said sounding slightly annoyed.
"Well you know your weak bone structure, your soft squishy skin all around squishy." He said spitefully.
"hey look here, i may be fleshy but instead of classing that as a flaw when engaging cons i find away around it, for example instead of head on collision with a con i dodge the attacks until I'm in range, and though i lack brute strength i use my wits." I said defending myself.
He then starting laughing, "what's so funny?" i inquired.
"I was just making sure you were sure of yourself." He said.
My cheeks slightly blushed, as i got slightly angry, "trick me will ya?!" i said knocking on his head.
"You're only hitting me because you know I'm right" he teased trying to protect himself from my blows.
I sighed again, as i stopped hitting him "i personally think it's your lacking of time, development, you can't speed up time but i can help you with your training if you like." He said.
"Really?" i said.
"Yeah i know a few exclusive moves of my elite training maybe with that your sure to make an impression." He said.
"Yeah thanks." I said, hey he doesn't judge me by species at all.
i saw jack tapping his fingers on the ground, feeling a bit left out.
"One thing, you're all under autobot protection because you witnessed them in battle?" Smokescreen asked.
"Well i am, as well as the younger boy named raf and the one who was asking you all the questions named miko." Jack said.
"So what's your story?" he asked.
"I came before jack." I said.
"As in?" he said.
"Arranged adoption?" i said.
"With whom?" he asked.
"Duhhhhh, if i trained with Optimus prime, and every other autobot has been taken plus ratchet doesn't count because he's ratchet..." i started.
"So your being raised by Optimus prime?" he said stunned.
"Yes." I said.
"W-wow then in a way i should be pretty respectful to you." He said.
"Huh?" i said.
"Your practically royalty, what do i call you?" he said.
"Er, Ellen, just Ellen." I said.
"Okay just Ellen." He said laughing.
I like smokescreen he's fun but not recklessly impulsive...well compared to wheeljack anyway. "You know what smokescreen, you're alright." I said lightly punching him in the arm. "Just never compare me to royalty again because that just makes me think of you as a kiss ass."
"Sorry I'm just so hyped right now." He said shaking his fists.
"Me too." I said.
"Hey guys traffics picking up." Jack said.
"Right vehicle mode." Smokescreen said in an almost sigh.
"That one maybe?" i said awkwardly as said car looked like it came from the seventies.
"Nope." He said.
"How about, that one?" jack said pointing to the really slow looking vehicle.
"Me-urgh it's more ratchets speed don't ya think?" he said.
"Cement truck?" jack said.
"Yeah if i were a constructicon. Seriously? This is all your planet has to offer?" He said.
"No, but this is jasper." Jack said leaning into his palm.
"I'd feel for ya." He said.
"It's liveable." Jack said.
"Which means he's lived here so long he no longer feels remorse." I jested as we both snickered.
"It's not that bad." Jack said.
"No it's alright, but they should really put something into the community for us to, ya know do something. Since we've been forced to participate in street racing." I said.
"Street racing?" smokescreen asked.
"It's illegal, but it is basically racing." Jack said.
"Sounds like an adrenaline rush." Smokescreen said.
"It was." Me and jack said in unison.
"Anything else to do around here?" he said.
"No but allot of stuff happens so we're not really bored per say." jack said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"finding relics, energon and all the stuff that happened before like the thing with unicron." Jack said.
"Whoa whoa! Unicron?! The chaos bringer?! He was here?" he said.
"Actually he's our earth's core." I said. "But its fine now because he's back in a coma." i added casually.
"You guys seriously need to give me an update because it sounds like I've missed out on a lot of stuff." He said.
I looked at the motorway again, "hey smokescreen! How about that one?" i said.
"Sporty. I like it." He said standing up and scanning the passing vehicle before any more cars pass, but i bet the drive was a little surprised.
"probably sporty too." i said as we all grinned at each other.
"I'm in the need..." i started.
"for speed!" jack finished.
"do i technically hit you this time?" i asked.
"So then it broke down the door and no one has seen it since." Jack was telling smokescreen one of our past stories.
"Oh jack, tell him what rafs volcano did to the school roof." I said.
"Sounds like this place isn't as boring as you make it." Smokescreen said.
Me and jack looked at each, "i guess it is pretty interesting." I said.
"Starscream has come for the red energon and i fear he will not be deterred in his quest." Dad said over the comm link as we walked into the main hall.
"Starscream? I heard stories about that stelleto heeled creep back on cybertron, send me in doc." Smokescreen demanded.
"When Optimus requires back up he will ask for it" ratchet said.
"Oh come on, i got my V-mode and everything, I'm supped up and ready to roll." He said.
"Ep, ep, ep! What part of 'further' training did you not understand?" ratchet told him.
Smokescreen looked slightly frustrated and who can blame him, jack then lightly tapped me on the shoulder, "doesn't he sound familiar to you?" he asked me.
"e-er?" i said.
"He sounds like you when you want to get out on the field." He said.
"I don't sound like that." I protested.
"Optimus what is your status." Ratchet said.
"Ratchet they need me. I can do this" Bulkhead said.
"Arcee? Bumblebee?" ratchet said.
"Did you hear what i said?" bulkhead said.
"I heard, and I'm ignoring you this may be your opportunity after all smokescr..." he started as he looked around "...where is smokescreen? He asked as me and jack looked behind us, he was gone...he was a light stepper for a big guy.
"Maybe he's doing an Ellen?" jack jested.
"There's a voice in my head telling me to kill for some reason." I said to the side.
"Maybe it's your secret love interest captain Picard." jack said still trying to wind me up.
"Yeah he's telling me to tell sierra that you prefer older woman like say...Catherine zeta Jones?" i said countering his attack.
in response jack scratched his head.
"I better check the vaults." Ratchet said sounding extremely nervous as he hurried down the hallway.
"I still have a trump card you know." jack said to me not taking notice of ratchets state.
"You have nothing." I said calling his bluff.
"Yeah your right i got nothing." He said scratching his head again.
"And your sure you can execute such a plan?" ratchet said entering the room with smokescreen, ratchet had the phase shifter firmly in his grip.
"Yes, now open that bridge already, they need my help." He said.
Ratchet groaned slightly as he pulled on the lever, "very well." he finally said giving smokescreen the device. "But you better contact me using any sort of common sense you may have if you feel you are out of your limit." He added pointing a stern finger at him.
"Won't need to doc." He stated as he transformed and left a cloud of dust in ratchets face.
He groaned wearily.
"what plan?" i thought to ask. but ratchet raised a hand up.
"just don't ask." he said sounding tired.
Apparently his plan involved the apex armor, a iacon relic that starscream got his hands on but i've never actually seen him in it, and never will.
Arcee and Bumblebee had dragged the suit in base as it stood to the side.
"Told ya i just needed to borrow it for a while." smokescreen said aiming that at Ratchet, "Doc here thought i was trying to steal your relics." Smokescreen said to the rest of us.
"Only until you explained your plan which i then sanctioned its called protocol." Ratchet said defending his case as he held the phase shifter.
"Ratchet is correct, standard procedure must be observed by every member of this team." Dad said as smokescreen lowered his head slightly.
"You can do no right around here." i commented.
"However i believe we must also commend smokescreen you have proven to be a quick study by choosing to place strategy above bravado." dad added positively.
"There's going to be no living with him now." Arcee said.
"While this may lack the pageantry of a proper elite guard ceremony i wish to welcome you to team prime." Dad announced as smokescreen beheld all of us.
"Now how about that training?" i said moving past the friendly ceremony.
"What...now?" he said.
"Hell yeah, we're wasting daylight. Besides i think i could teach you a few things too." I said.
"Like what?" he said stunned, melodramatic much?
"Like patience, common sense you know the basics." I teased.
"I really doubt you have patience." He said to me.
"See that's because you're not looking beyond the good looks, see in the face of adversity, you know that's where Ellen Robertson, ya know really shines and that puts me in all my glory...kind of." I said.
"'Kind of' is an understatement." Arcee commented.
Smokescreen raised an eyebrow at me to Arcee's comment, "y-yeah see she recognizes." I said.
"Well before all this 'casual' training you and smokescreen have arranged I'd like to know his stats." She said as she stepped up towards him.
"You would, would you?" he said in a soothing voice.
"Don't push it, you've got allot of energy I'll give you that but you speak to me in that tone again and I'll..." Arcee started.
"Ellen." Ratchet said getting my attention, "a word please if you don't mind." Ratchet said to me mysteriously as the others were distracted amongst themselves.
"Er sure." I said as he mustered me down the hall.
We had gone deep into the hallway, past the iacon relics, past the quarters and to the very end where no refurbishing had been done at all as though we had reached the end of the universe...where...no one...can here you, scream.
"hey ratchet if this is about the potato in your tailpipe...i-it was...it was miko...no wait it wasn't miko I'm lying it was me b-b-but there's no need t-to, t-to go to this level?!" i stuttered in fear.
"Ellen I'm not going to kill you don't be so dramatic, besides i know it was you but obviously my pay back hasn't been discovered yet." he said evilly.
"oh...then why are we so far down here?" I asked.
"Not now, just wait." He said as he turned the corner there was another vault a very camouflaged one and ratchet attempted to open it but it was so rusted. "Frag it all!" he hissed kicking the thing till it opened. Settling himself down he then motioned me to his side, he looked rather excited.
What was revealed to me now was...was...i...well..."Ratchet? Is that..." i started as i looked up to him. "A robot?" i finished.
A/N man this was a long one, anyway what do you think? :D also the time has come...the episode i feared has come to pass 'LEGACY' and it definitely ****SPOILERS**** has the star saber so now I'm stumped and you guys should know that i rarely want to change anything canon but i'm having a little case of writers block but when i finally get to watch the episode perhaps it will give me a plan but if not i would really appreciate your guys help *hang dog expression* :'( who can resist that face? :3
