Chapter 7: Time For Recharge

(Dragonfly POV)

He pulled me closer and I rested my helm on him.

I'm not alone anymore

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

I must have slipped into recharge when I was on top of the warship. When I woke up Knockout was carrying me bridal style through the halls of the Nemesis towards my room. I smiled at him and said,"You could have woken me, you know." I glanced down. "And you can put me down." He lowered my pedds to the ground and and I gained my footing.

What time is it? I thought. Ah, it's 1136. Time for recharge.

As we stood in the hallway an awkward silence formed. We heard footsteps coming towards us and I panicked. I looked at Knockout and he panicked too. "I'll go this way and you go that way." I whispered. I walked towards the sound and Knockout walked away from it.

When I neared the footsteps I saw who it was. Breakdown. "Hi." I muttered and smiled at him. He stopped a few steps in front of me. "You can't hide it." He said. "What are you talking about?" I asked with a confused face. He rolled his optics and said,"Don't act dumb. I know of two mechs on this ship who like you, Knockout as one. Lets see if you can figure out the other one."

"Is it you? Because that would be really weird because Knockout's like your brother." I said and then smirked. "Ha-ha, now I'm serious. Knockout likes you, I saw you two outside," he stated. "and someone with a very high position on this ship likes you too." And with that, he walked away.

Weird. I thought DocKnock was the only one. The highest positions in the ship were taken by Screamer and SoundWave. Not Screamer, OH PRIMUS NOT SCREAMER, and I haven't really spoken to SoundWave. So who was Breakdown talking about? I arrived at my room and walked inside. I laid in my berth and clicked in the radio.

"'Cause I'm only human!
And I bleed when I fall down.
I'm only human!
And I crash and I break down."

Strange songs these creatures listen too. I closed my optics and searched for a more peaceful song. "I will wait, I will wait for you!" Cute, but no. "You wrap your arms around me and I'm home." Hum. Nice. The music seemed to fade away as I fell into recharge. When I was in recharge I had sort of a vision.

A femme's figure stood in front of me and I recognized it off the bat. ShyHigh. She was laughing and when she took a step as if to body-slam me I phased right through her. Then I was aware of my surroundings. Cybertron. Near the beginning of the war. "C'mon Ratch. It wasn't that bad." She said. "It was terrible! You saw it, GroundSomper! Tell her!" A small mech in the corner of the room shrugged and sipped from an Energon cube.

"Well, I'd better be getting back. You two have a big day tomorrow." said the mech, whom I assumed to be GroundStomper. "Scrap, you're right. What time is it?" said SkyHigh as she glanced at her wrist and it opened up. "Wow, it's already 1034. Let's go Ratch." GroundStomper left and Sky walked over to a door.

"Night." she said. I whirled around to see the door fly open. "You're needed early!" a tall femme exclaimed.

Then everything faded to black.

|=~=|=~=|=~=|=~=|=~=|=~=|=~=|

I jolted up in my berth and gasped. But I wasn't there! How could I see something if I want actually there? I checked the time. It was 0247. I plopped down and closed my optics.

(SkyHigh POV) (Nearing the end of the War on Cybertron)

"Ratchet?! We have another one! And it's really bad." I called. I was a helper to a field medic, named Ratchet, on Cybertron. "Bring him here!" Ratchet called back. GroundStomper helped me carry him in and lay him on the berth in the room. "Megatron ripped out his voice box and left him for scrap." I said. "Thanks Stomper. You can go."

GroundStomper was 500,000 years old and Ratchet and myself were around 1,500,000 years old. "What's his name?" Ratchet asked. "I think it's BumbleBee it something." I replied. Ratchet worked hard on his wounds until I asked,"What about his voice?" Ratchet sighed and pinched the place between his optics. I nodded and closed my optics.

There was an awkward silence as he resumed his work. When he finished repairing him I asked,"Can you at least try? And if not you, can I?" He sighed again and said,"Fine. I'll try."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I squealed. I might be 1,500,000 but I act like a 150,000 year old.

I sat down and started working on a plan to get Autobots off Cybertron now that it was dead. After about half an hour Ratchet called out,"There. I did what I could. Are you satesfied, Sky?" I ran over and the young black and yellow bot sat up. "Take it easy, there." I said. He tried speaking and all that came out was,"Beep, boop, boop, bew." his eyes widened and he gripped where his voice box would be.

"I'm sorry. I did all that I could." Ratchet said. I smiled at the young bot and helped him get up. "We can understand you, but other species won't be able too. I know you might miss your old voice, but Megatron did some real damage. I'm sorry." I said. He nodded and and said,"Bew, Boop, Beep, Boo. Bew, bew, beep?" or "I'm BumbleBee. What's your name?"

"I'm SkyHigh and this is Ratchet." I said motioning to myself then Ratchet. "You should stay for awhile and recover." Ratchet said. But the young bot insisted that there was a war going on, and there was no time. As Bee walked out the door Ratchet called,"Yip, ip, ip! Take it easy."

BumbleBee nodded his helm and ran out the door. A while later, I was helping Ratchet tidy up and Decpticon blast flew in the door and hit the wall inches from my face. "Oh my Primus!" I screamed as I jumped back. Ratchet grabbed my servo in his and ran into the back.

He shoved me into an escape pod and explained,"I'm sending you to a nice planet called Earth. Don't oppose to my plan just go. It's a long trip so stasis will be induced." He hugged me and before I could respond he said,"I love you with all my spark." He closed and launched the pod and I screamed, "RATCHET! NO!" I felt the stasis being induced as I whispered,"I love you too..."

The escape pod hissed open and I fell out. Someone caught me and I heard a small energetic voice say,"Who's that? Is she another Autobot? She's baby barf green! You have competition Bulk!" I stood up and saw the face of the person who caught me. Oh my Primus. I know that face. But it's aged. "Ratchet? Is that you or am I going crazy?" I asked.

"By the AllSpark... How... SkyHigh?" he fumbled with his words. A tear dripped down my face and I ran away from the crowd that had formed around the pod. As I ran I bumped into another bot. "BumbleBee? You... I... Ratchet... WHAT?" I continued running until I reached a room. A big room with computers and actually quite primitive equipment.

Something came through a tunnel and parked. The front left door opened and a small female being came out. I took a step back and another more masculine being came out the front right door. "Wow. Who's that?" The female said. Ratchet came up behind me and said,"It's alright nurse Darby. She's Autobot."

"Let's start with what happened please?" I asked. Ratchet took my servo and brought me into a small room. "What's the last thing that you remember?" he asked. "Well, I remember you saying 'I love you with all my spark' and then you launching me into space." I figured it was best to leave out the part where I returned the "I love you" because that would be really awkward because he looked at least 2,000,000 years old.

"Well the war has ended on Cybertron and it has been brought to Earth." He sighed. "I'm sorry, I just need time to adjust and meet everyone. Lets go." I wiped the tears from my face and stepped out of the door. Ratchet caught my arm and pulled me back and I heard a small,"That was close." from where I was about to step.

I pulled my foot back and bent down to see a small, fleshy creature wearing small lenses of glass over his eyes. "Um, hi. I'm Raf. What's your name?" he asked. "I'm SkyHigh, a friend of Ratchet. Mind giving me a tour?" I responded. "O- Ok." I held out my hand and he climbed on. I gently put him in my shoulder and thought,This isn't so hard.

I jolted out of my dream and sat up. But... SkyHigh died...
