Kiddie Rides
~Miko's POV~
"YOU'RE THE CYBERTRONIAN WHO HELD BULK AND I HOSTAGE?!"
"Don't forget Arcee." Jack grumbled.
"Yeah, and you're lucky. Because of me you were all aloud to live."
(Y/N) stood in her vault as Wildstryke, and I found it hard to bring myself to hate her. I mean, yeah she was the femme that kept me in a cage, but she was also the grown-up I had fun with, who didn't judge me for being me, the reckless teen with an awesome sense of music.
"So... you were being hurt by changing forms?" Raf asked, making sense of the story she had told us earlier.
"Yep, but that's taken care of now. I'm not completely sure why I'm here this time, something to do with Breakdown's dissappearence."
Raf and I cringed, and Jack scoffed as he started to stomp off. We were told not to mention Breakdown, and what happened, but we didn't know why until now. Glad I didn't make the mistake of opening my big mouth...
"Do you race like this?!" I asked, my enthusiasm coming back after getting over the whole '(Y/N) was the one who trapped me and Bulk' thing.
"No. I earn my money through racing, so I go as my human self. It's fun living a triple life!"
"Man, suddenly my life sounds overly boring." I pouted.
Wildstryke laughed as she gestured toward the front entrance.
"Where do you think you're all going?"
Great, Ratch was going to be a total killjoy.
"These two wanted to go for a ride, so I was going to oblige."
"Like the Pit you are. You're staying right here."
I started to sneak off toward the button that opened the exit, winking at Wildstryke, who winked back.
"Look, I'll take good care of them. We're just going to bash some dunes, do a couple donuts in the sand. Maybe I'll change my color..."
"If you go, you will be accompanied by an escort, so that time is not now."
"Bite me you old coot. NOW MIKO!"
I jumped on the button, and watched as a light could be seen just peaking through the tunnel. Ratchet was to surprised to do much as I jumped down, Wildstryke catching me as she transformed. I found myself in her back seat, and Raf in her front as she raced through the tunnel and out into the Nevada air. Raf had the biggest grin on his face, I never knew braking the rules could make him so happy.
~Raf's POV~
That. Was. AWESOME! While we might be braking the rules, for once I don't completely mind! Though I do have a feeling both Miko and I will probably pay for it later. Best not to ruin the moment and think about it now. I'll worry about it when it comes.
"So, where to guys?"
I heard Wildstryke ask, and I buckled up with the seat belt.
"How about we go bust some sand dunes!"
Miko cheered, and I felt my stomach churn just thinking about it. (Y/N)... well, Wildstryke (that'll take some getting used to), must have noticed my unease, since she suggested something else.
"Nah, let's just race around instead. Besides, my alt mode isn't exactly built for off-roading."
"What model are you anyway?" I asked, curious.
"Dodge, Vipor Venom. 0 to 60 in less than three seconds! That beats Knockout."
"Whoa, really?" Miko stuck her head between the seats.
"Yep!"
Looking around, I noted that her interior was mostly black, and that she had LED lights that glowed a soft red color on the floor and in her doors. The light pulsed as she spoke, and the screen on her dash showed the rise and fall of her voice, the bars changing from red to yellow as they rose and fell.
"And this form was created by you and..." I didn't want to get the names wrong, so didn't continue in case I forgot.
"Me, Breakdown, and Soundwave. Breakdown mainly helped with the shaping, Soundwave helped with the coding. I should have kept a closer optic on Breakdown though. Arachnid said I was what almost every femme strives to be! While I don't completely believe her, I've become a little more self-conscious about how I present myself."
"Is that why you don't have as much armor as Arcee or Arachnid?" Miko asked, watching as the scene changed out her window, her smile still ever present. My attention was to the pulsing lights on the steering wheel.
"That's my guess, of course, no one seems to take advantage of that fact."
"Cause you're to pretty, they don't want to damage what they can see."
"MIKO!"
Wildstryke braked, and I was overly glad I had put the seat belt on. Miko hadn't as I heard her head hit the back of my seat, her grumbling about 'what did she do?' and a long string of 'ow's and other incoherent words.
"I'm not wrong!"
"Yeah but what you are silently suggesting is uncalled for!"
"So what?!"
"Um, guys, what are you talking about?"
Both became silent, and Miko mouthed 'oh' as she started to understand whatever it was that I wasn't getting.
"Seriously..."
"When you're older Rafael," Wildstryke stated, the seat belt hugging me tighter on it's own accord, "When you're older. And Miko,"
My foreign friend hid behind the passenger seat a bit, like it would hide her.
"Not another suggestion like that out of you, okay?" Wildstryke's tone had become soft.
Miko nodded her pink tipped head, and we continued driving again. While I was still kept in the dark, I guessed it was pretty bad if even Miko was staying quiet about it. It was nice, seeing the motherly side of (Y/N). I wonder if she's had kids before.
~Jack's POV~
"We need to go after them!"
"I'm sorry, but I can't do anything while the others are still out there!"
UGH! Why does (Y/N) seem to get away with everything?! I don't care if she's a grown-up, she's still A) shorter than me, and B) might as well be a Decepticon! So what if she says she's neutral? She has tricked the Autobots more than once already, and is going who-knows-where with Raf and Miko!
"Once Arcee gets here I'm going after them."
"You and Arcee will be going no-where. Both of you are blinded by your rage."
"Says the guy who almost pounded (Y/N) into the very couch she was sitting on! If Miko and Raf weren't right next to her I bet you would have done it!"
I watched as Ratchet spluttered, trying to find an argument, but we both knew there was none in this circumstance.
"That... That was an entirely different matter. She has the entire database downloaded into that thing of hers! If you want to make yourself useful, destroy the data pad!"
I took that as a challenge, and went to find it.
I found the vault unlocked and open, so I walked right in. (Y/N)'s human body was peacefully brain-dead on the cot that was given to her, the neck brace thing glowing a low purple as the machine beside it hummed. I could destroy it so easily... but that would put me just as low as the Decepticons. Destroying the tablet would be better. I looked in her bags, and under her cot, not caring to put stuff back in it's original order, it was all messy anyways, not like she'll notice. I found a weird looking dress, and heels with wheels... that just sounds odd... but no tablet.
"Where could she have put it?"
I rummaged through another bag, but found nothing still.
I decided to give up, and scolded myself for not paying attention when she set the data pad down before she switched forms. My attention then went to her human form... and the Decepticon necklace that sat in her clenched fist over her heart. She cared a lot about that thing. I've seen her open it a time or two, so I know it's some sort of blueish, hologram locket thing. I tried to open her hand, but even in this dead sleep she protects what's hers.
"You're going to get what's coming to you," I said, crossing my arms, "And I'll be there to watch."
Walking out, I decided to turn on the TV, and wait for Arcee and the others to come back from their mission. I hoped (Y/N)... Wildstryke- WHATEVER. I hope that traitor to humanity is still out there, just so I can enjoy the chase to find her.
(Hey guess what. Jack has a dark side! MWAHAHAHA! I love twisting the minds of characters! Anywho, I hope I accurately wrote the kid's POV's! Thanks for reading!)
