↠┅a day later┅↞

"So where we going?" You asked

"If you are going to be staying here, you will need to know where thing are located" he said holding you closer to his chest. Seeing your reflection in his windows. His digits curled around you slightly. Walking down a dim hallway, multiple doors on the side

"Oh okay"

"These are where our rooms are. The training room is at the end of this hallway as well as the energon storage room."

You nodded

He continued walking and walked back to main hanger

"This is the medical bay, as well as the main hanger. You've have already seen this. There is not a lot of places in the base. I have showed you all of them."

"Well, it's better than nothing" you said

"That is true"

"Optimus" someone else said

He turned to the voice

"What is it old friend?" He asked.

"The rest of the team is out, Jack Miko and Raf need to be picked up from school."

"I will attend to it. (Y/n) do you mind staying here with Ratchet?"

"Not at all" you said.

He nodded and gave a small smile. He walked towards the human area and placed his hand right in front of the couch. You shuffled back and jumped onto the couch.

He backed up toward the middle of the hanger and transfromed. Showing his blue and red color scheme. His wheels screeched and he wheeled out of the base.

Not hearing his engine anymore, you turned to Ratchet.

"Why is he always so serious?" You asked

"He wasn't always like that. He wasn't always a prime. His Designation before was Orion Pax. An librarian on Cybertron. Megatron, which I assume you've already met."

Flashbacks flooded your memory

(Sorry is this is wrong it been forever)

"His designation was Megatronus. A gladiator in the pits of Kaon. Orion and Megatronus were friends before the war. Megatronus wanted out government to be different. Proposing an idea that would end everything, the council did not like his idea and sent him out. Orion stated his idea to the council, the coucil saw something they haven't seen in ages"

"What?" You asked

"A prime. They through he was worthy enough to have a status of prime. Megatronus was mad. He wanted the status. War began and out planets core got corrupted. Orion went down to the core. Our god, Primus. Gave him the status of prime. Megatronus gave his side a name, Decepticon. A side of many.

We scattered across the cosmos, different Cybertronian went their separate ways. And lucky for us, we landed on earth. We've been here for 1 solar cycle (year)"

"Woah."

That didn't answer my question though

Not wanting to bother ratchet even more you left it at that.

"Ep ep ep, I need to do another scan" he said before you could turn around

"Again" you sighed

"Yes again now come here"

You grunted and shuffled your feet.

Optimus gave you a warm feeling in the inside. Something you haven't felt in ages. Why?

You stopped before the railing, ratchet pulled out his scanner. Starting at the top a green laser came down, from your head to your feet.

It beeped twice once it was done and ratchet pulled it back to read.

"Oh!"

"What?!"

He suddenly gave a small smirk

"It's nothing"

"Ratchet I've only know you for what 2 days? And I know it means something"

"When your older"

"I'm old enough I'm (y/a)"

He sighed

"You like him, don't you?" He asked

"W-what?"

"You like Optimus.

"Pshhh, n-no"

"The scanner doesn't lie"

You sighed

"I think I do"

"It's not bad to like someone (y/n). I won't tell him."

"Thanks" you said and turned around back to the couch.

You sighed. Fiddling with your fingers and drifting off

A loud echoing beep echoed through the base. Your ears rang. You covered your ears. Ratchet quickly pushed a button on the screen to make it stop.

"What was that" you turned around to look at Ratchet.

"A signal of some sort."

"What kind of signal?"

"An Energon kind. And it's on the move. I'm Jasper, It's following Optimus!" He shouted

Your eyes widened. Did the Decepticon find you already?

"Ratchet to Optimus. Do you hear me" Ratchet spoke, his finger to his helm.

...

"You have an Energon signal following you"

More silence

"Ratchet? What is happening?" You asked worriedly.

He turned to you

"There's someone tailing him. Optimus veered off into an secure area and is going fight if needed"

"W-What about the kids"

::Ratchet, Bring medical and prepare sick bay:: Optimus said suddenly over the computer instead of the com.

The sick bay was already prepared, he ran over to his little station and grabbed his gear. Going back to the ground bridge switch and flipping it. Going to Optimus location.

"Stay here I will be right back." He said and ran through the groundbridge. The blue and green covered the area, and as ratchet went though it made a sound and all was left was the sound of it whirling. It made you anxious. Why did they need Ratchet?

It was dead silent, with only you and your thoughts. You started at the portal.

It was an easy opening.

But ratchet said no

Buuutt I wanna see the other side

No no you don't. It's a Decepticon.

You sighed, your breath shaky. Looking down at your legs

You looked back up when the groundbridge made a sudden noise. 3 small figures ran through the groundbridge and headed towards the stairs.

"Jack? What happened?" You asked as he ran up the stairs

He placed his hands on his knees and was catching his breath.

"K-knockout was fol-following us. S-so Optim-Optimus went into a f-forest to try and shake him."

"Yea but then he went BAM. and transformed. He didn't wanna fight though. His hand was gone. Sliced clean"

"Sliced clean?"

"Yea completely gone!"

Everyone snapped their heads to the bridge again.

Ratchet was helping the Decepticon medic, Knockouts arm slung over his back. The amount of Energon loss made him feel weak and dizzy. Optimus followed close behind and walked over to the computer. Turning off the bridge.

Ratchet led Knockout to the medical bed and set him down gently. His engines whirled and Energon still dripped from his hand. The wires and circuits were showing and sparking. His eyes were squeezed shut from pain.

Ratchet placed his potable gear down and grabbed his normal to begin to stop the bleeding on his hand.

As if your legs moved on your own, you walked towards the edge near the Decepticon. The others following close behind.

Knockouts head turned to face the human area. He looked at each of you. And once he saw you his eyes widened

He stared at you. The feeling of guilt washed over him. You stared right back into his optics. The feeling of empathy and hatred.

But soon as he spoke those words made you want to throw up.

"I'm sorry"

A/n: hello, I'm sorry for such a long wait. A huge writers block got me and I've been unmotivated and just falling out of the fandom.

It's okay though. I will try and finish this book off
