Speed Metal
Your POV
I waited beside Skyquake, his wounds fully repaired. He just needed time to recover and wake up. But that would take time. Time that I would spend by his side if I could. The buzzing of a buffer sounded out as Breakdown buffed Megatron. I held Skyquake's hand as he shifted, his mind in a dreamscape of sorts while his mind rebooted. A memory came into my head, of a time long ago.
Before I could relive it, I was shooken out of it as the door to the medbay opened. "Ah, Breakdown. Has there been any change in the paitents conditions?" Starscream asked. "Skyquake's been fully repaired, just needs time to come back online as his processor reboots. As for Megatron? Only cosmetic." Breakdown explained. Cosmeticly speaking: he still has a hole in his chest. So not really.
"Well, I'm sure you and the good doctor have been doing everything in your power. Where is Knockout?" Starscream asked. The door then opened again, the cherry red Con in question walked in. "Can you believe what some skinjob did to me? Ugh." Knockout moaned, a scratch on his left door. "You have been street racing among the human again, hav'nt you?" Starscream asked.
"I'm not only an automobile, I'm an automobile enthuiest." Knockout responded. "I do strive to run a tight ship Knockout, I would strongly suggest seeking my permission next time you decide to dissapear on one of your little jaunts." Starscream said. "No worries herr kommandant." Knockout spoke in another Earth language. Guess that's what he was doing with Breakdown during the spacebridge battle, and before that.
"It is 'Lord' to you." Starscream spat. "Only if Megatron takes a nose dive." Knockout sassed. "The day our master emerges from stasis, I will graciously relinqish the title. But I believe that outcome in unlikely, something to do with the quality of medical care around here." Starscream insulted. Knockout only kept his shit eating grin. "So continue buffing, we do want Megatron looking his best for the memorial." Starscream instructed, leaving.
Breakdown went back to buffing, only to be stopped by Knockout. "Buff this." I recorded the entire interaction for later. Breakdown buffed Knockout's scratch before the latter saw me. "Soundblaster! I uh, didnt see you!" Knockout said surprised. I nodded before going back to watching Skyquake. I heard shuffling behind me, before Knockout faked a cough to get my attention.
I turned back to them, seeing Breakdown working on Megatron, while paying attention to me and Knockout. "Uh, Soundblaster, do you remember when we asked you to scan for some fellow cons?" Knockout asked. I already knew what he was talking about. I put up face pictures of the cons he was loking for, before displaying that their signals could'nt be found in this solar system, which was as far as the Nemeis could get a good, clear, signal.
Beyond that though, it is impossable to tell one signal from another. "Are you sure you cant find them?" Breakdown asked. I nodded, an answer that displeased the both of them. "Thank you anyways." Breakdown said. I nodded as the door to the medbay opened. "Knockout?" Breakdown asked. "I'll be fine. Just continue buffing our lord." Knockout said before the door closed.
Breakdown hesitated, debating wether or not to follow him when I stood up. I pointed at Megatron before walking out, the buzzing of the buffer being the last thing I heard before the door closed after me. I remember when they first asked me to track down the combiner, but as mentioned before, I've had no luck. Who are they wanting me to track? Well, they can introduce themself later. Maybe in the next book.
I walked down the halls of the Nemesis, my work in the bridge piling up.
(Timeskip, since I cant see it in this Y/n to join them. So you get to see the end of the episode.)
I nudged my brother in the side, geasturing to the two cons who stood before Starscream. He waved me off as I paid more attention to them, my work done. "Knockout! Was I not clear!? You have defied my orders yet again!" Starscream accused the cherry red con. "My mistake, Commander Starscream, but I've learned my lesson, and paid the price." Knockout said, lifting up the arm missing a door.
Starscream wasnt calmed. "It. Is. LORD! And you have paid, when I say you have paid." Starscream explained, before lifing his pointing finger, the sharp object shined. "Not worry, your punishment shall be mearly, cosmetic." The seeker grinned. "No, not the finish, anything but the finish! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" Knockout screamed out as Starscream dug his finger across the con many times.
It was an Earth hour later when Starscream, and the loud grinding noise, was done. They were sent off, as I turned to leave the bridge. "Soundblaster!" Starscream yelled. Huh? I turned, seeing the commander looking down at me. "You are to provide me with alerts if Knockout is to leave this ship without my permisson!" He ordered. I nodded, then left the bridge. I looked at my hands, transforming them a few times.
I need an upgrade. Maybe micro path blasters? Nah, Prime has the only pair in the system. Maybe type-88s? I thought about it more as I entered my berthroom, deploying Buzzsaw for his energon snack. Maybe later, I'll think about it more.
