TFP: Youngling

Ch.12~

I was playing hide and seek with Bumblebee was fun, we had chosen a space of dessert far from our base. I was hiding in between two boulders, I could hear some voices, one sounded familiar. Odd it was just supposed to be me and Bee playing now it sounds like Bulkhead is here. I listened carefully as I finally saw the two vehicles.

I gasped before covering my mouth and hiding further back in the boulders. It was Decepticon's, the one called Knockout who had been there when I crash, and his partner Breakdown. I scraped against the rocks and squeaked, turning I saw them both stop.

"Breakdown did you hear something?" Knockout asked his voice smooth and classy.

"I think I did, maybe we got ourselves an Autobot." Breakdown replied, I crouched down which caused more scraping noises.

"That sound, seems they are ruining their paint job." Knockout chimed, they both turned into robot modes and headed to my general direction.

Covering my mouth as I tried to keep myself in the shadows, I don't even want to imagine what will happen if they spot me. Should I comm Bee, no, that would blow my cover. I just need to blend into the shadows and silence my vents.

The walked closer and I saw Breakdown looking to left and Knockout turned on his headlights and pointed it at me. I was light up, scarp what do I do. Pushed further back scraping my metal I watched as both Deceptions stood at my only exit.

"I can't believe it, it's you, surprised you still look wonderful little feme." He chimed, I bared my denta.

"Back off, leave me alone." I hissed he chuckled.

"Seems they gave you a sharp voice box." He commented his friend laughed.

"Aren't you cute, trying to sound scary." Breakdown teased.

"I said to back off, if you don't I can comm for help." I stated.

"Oh, so scary cutie, now come on out we won't hurt me." Knockout chimed.

"You bring me to your base I will murder Megatron then you." I threatened.

"You will, say what if you can beat us both we will join the Autobots." Breakdown stated I smirked.

"Sure, I take that bet, one on one, me and you Breakdown will fight, don't go easy just cuz I'm a kid." I challenged they both back up as I crawled out from the rocks.

"Alright kiddo, you can go first show me what you got." He chimed.

I charge at him dodging his hammer sliding under him and jumped onto his back holding on and pushing my legs into him to shove him forward as I flipped slide to a stop. Rushing at him I raced toward him trying to take him down he spun at me wildly I slide under him again and kicked him in the crotch plating with both feet and flipping back to my feet. I could hear the sound of a car racing toward us I turned as I saw Bee. The two decepitcons saw this and raced off.

"See you next time for a rematch kiddo, you may turn us yet." Breakdown called as the took off.

'Are you okay?' Bee asked pulling me close.

"Yeah, it was weird, they were almost nice." I commented as I watched the retreating duo.

'Let's get back to base, we'll need to tell Ratchet and Optimus about this.' He stated, I sighed and called for a bridge.

The bridge appeared before us as we walked through Bee touching my back. He lead me through as I took one glance at the duo. What had been with them, could Decepticon's be nice? No, I know they are sparkling killers, they are pure evil I can't forget that.

(Ratchet's POV)

"I can't believe you fought some Decepticons!" I yelled she nodded guiltily.

"I didn't have much choice, and I got away unscathed." She replied I looked at her scrapped paint.

"What happened to your paint then." I commented.

"Oh, I hide in between two boulders and kinda squished myself as far back as I could to try and hide." She explained.

"Why did you leave there then, could they still reach you." I stated she looked ashamed.

"Breakdown challenged me, so I decided a fight would attract Bee back to me." I soothed.

"You are only to fight in self defense, what it Knockout had joined in?" I questioned.

"I'm sorry, it's just I knew I was small and quick enough to avoid them, they wouldn't leave even after I threaten to comm for reinforcement, so I thought running was my best option." She said.

"No next time actually com for back up." I ordered she nodded.

"I will, I'm sorry." She apologized.

"Good, now no more outside for one decacycle, now go study your medical work silently so I can get back to my work."

"Okay."

I watched her pick up her datapad and crawl onto the medberth and begin to read. I turned my attention back to my work, for a moment. Turning back, I saw her curling up looking nervous, I didn't know what to do. With her I felt I needed to be more careful with her, be more tender. But how can I be after all these eons for war.

(Stargazer's POV)

I was sent to bed, I was holding onto Ratchet's hand, I felt really awkward tonight. Today he had kept looking at me, was he disappointed in me for what I did. Was he still mad at me for everything, I need to behave. I want to keep be careful, and make up for what I say.

"Rache, I am sorry." I apologized.

"Don't be, I know I need to be a bit more tender, you are still young stuck in the war. Just don't do it again," I nodded and we entered the room and laid me down in my berth.

"Rache, can I get another story."

"You know I am running out stories for you."

"Come on I don't mind repeats."

"You wouldn't, alright let's see what story I can recall tonight."

"I hope it's a good one."

"I thought you liked all my stories bitlet."

"I do, but some are even better."

"I guess so, I am glad you like stuff like this."

"I love being here with you."

"I am glad to have you, now let's get you a story ready so my little bitlet can sleep."

"Yay!"
