Chapter 6
When I come to, Megatron is standing in front of me.
"What do you want?", I growl.
"Oh, Blaze Wing", Megatron chuckles. "I want to know why you gave those attack coordinates to the Autobots!"
*Flashback*
I run forward dodging blaster fire.
"Blaze Wing!", someone shouts. I turn to look and see an unfamiliar face. "Your uncle sent me! He wants to know where your team is attacking next so he can be there!"
"Who are you?", I growl, narrowing my eyes, not trusting her because I already told Megatron the coordinates.
"My name does not matter!", she shouts impatiently.
"I already told him the coordinates!", I respond.
"He wants to make sure he has them correct."
"Fine", I say and give her the coordinates.
*Flashback End*
"I didn't realize she was an Autobot! She had the Decepticon symbol and she said you sent her!", I growl.
"I'm not sure I believe you", he growls and punches me, effectively knocking me out.
When I come to, I am on a medical berth with my wrists restrained.
"With the cortical psychic patch, we shall see if you told the truth", Megatron says with an evil grin. I'm pretty sure he's trying to find reason to kill me.
I roll my eyes and let him use it on me. Once he entered my mind, I showed him the memory and he growls.
Knock Out undo's the patch and they release my restraints.
I stand up and stretch. Megatron leaves and Knock Out tackles me into a hug. I laugh and return the hug.
"Hey brother, are you still as vain as I remember?", I sing while laughing. He chuckles and pulls away from the hug.
"You were gone for literally one day", he says. I glare at him and he sings back. "Hey sister, are you still as annoying, I wonder."
I chuckle and look around. "I'm gone for literally one day. I guess I just can't stay away from my twin. Even if he is annoying." Knock Out playfully punches my shoulder and I laugh.
"So, how have things gone for the amount of time I was away?", I ask.
"It's been sooo boring. I literally have no one to annoy when you're not here", Knock Out complains.
"That's good. It means bots and cons will miss me when I'm gone", I say with a grin. Knock Out only face palms, causing me to laugh until I heard a whisper.
"Blaze, is it safe to come out yet?", Sebs asks.
"Oh! Sebs!", I say, opening my chest cavity and hold my servo up so Sebs can climb onto it.
"Sebs?", Knock Out asks, looking at me confused. I smile and hold up Sebastian.
"Sebastian, this is Knock Out. Knock Out, this is Sebasian, my human charge."
"He even looks vain...", Sebs whispers to me as he waves at Knock Out.
"I heard that!", Knock Out says with a look of anger although he was fighting back a smile.
I laugh before making fun of my twin. "You can call him Vain Cherry."
"No, you cannot!", Knock Out says, playfully glaring at me. I laugh before hearing someone's pedesteps. I quickly hide Sebastian.
"Hey, Knock Out, I kinda need help with something...", Breakdown says to his best friend.
"Okay... with what?", Knock Out asks.
"You look perfectly fine to me", I say with a wave. Breakdown turns around and there's a spider con stuck to his back.
I let out a snort and the spider glared at me.
"So, what's your name? I'd prefer to not have to call you Spiderfemme, Spidergirl, spiderlady, etc", I say.
She growls before answering. "Arachnid. What's your name?"
"Blaze Wing", I respond.
"Are you Knock Out's twin or something?", Arachnid asks.
"Yeah, he's my twin brother", I say with a small smile. Knock Out finally gets them seperated and Breakdown turns to look at me.
"When did you get back?", he asks.
"I don't know, what time is it?", I ask.
"1 a.m."
My eyes widen and I look up as Soundwave comes in. He plays a recording and I sigh at what it says.
"Send Blaze Wing to the bridge immediately."
I follow Soundwave before chuckling. "You know, I still don't know my way around here." I hear a chuckle come from Soundwave and I grin.
Soundwave leads me to the bridge and Megatron is standing with his back to me.
"Blaze Wing, did you learn anything of importance while you were with Autobots?", he asks.
"Nothing that I would tell you", I say immediately, thinking of Sebs who was hiding in my chest cavity, probably fast asleep as it was 1 a.m.
"As your Lord and Master-", I cut him off there.
"Uh... no. You're my uncle. Or at least, I consider you to be one", I say. Megatron growls at that.
"Get out of my sight."
"Okay", I say cheerfully.
"Soundwave, go with her. I do not trust her alone on this ship."
"Double yay!", I cheer as I skip out of the room. Soundwave followed me and when he looked at me, I could see his face through his visor again for a split second.
"Uh... Soundwave, is it normal for bots to be able to randomly see through your visor", I ask.
Soundwave freezes before dragging me through the warship. We stop in front of a door to which he types a code into. He pulls me into the room before taking off his visor.
"You can see through my visor?", he asks, surprised laced thickly into his voice.
"Only for a split second", I say, looking around.
Suddenly two minicons arrive. They grin at me and start talking.
"Hi! What's your name?", the blue one asks.
"Frenzy, that's obviously the femme that Sound is always talking about!", the purple one says.
"Are you sure, Rumble?", the blue one, apparently called Frenzy asks.
"Yes I'm certain", Rumble says.
I laugh causing them to look up at me.
"You guys bicker like me and my twin do sometimes", I grin.
"That's about all they seem to be able to do", a cat minicon says. "But seriously, what is your name?"
"It's Blaze Wing", I say with a smile. Rumble and Frenzy begin bickering again before they freeze.
"Wait! You can understand Ravage?!", they both exclaim.
"Um... yes? Is that a problem?", I ask.
"No, but generally only Sound, Lazerbeak, Frenzy, and I can understand him", Rumble says.
"To everyone else, it sounds like I am just meowing, growling, hissing, or purring", Ravage says.
"Huh. That's weird", I say.
"Yes, it is", Soundwave says. The minicons took that as their cue to leave. Silence overtook us and we just stood there not really knowing what to say.
This feeling of worry came over me and I realized it was coming through the bond from Sire. I open a mental link and he immediately bombards me with questions.
'Are you okay?! Ratchet hasn't been able to find your signal and you've been gone for three days!! Where are you?! Is Sebastian alright?!'
'I'm fine. The Decepticons captured me but they're not holding me prisoner. And Sebastian is safe. I'm keeping him hidden, only Knock Out knows about him', I say. 'And it's seriously been three days?!'
'Yeah, it has been. Why weren't you responding to the bond?', Sire asks, having calmed down some.
'I've been unconscious half the time and the other half I must have somehow blocked it', I explain.
'Alright. I'm glad you're okay', he responds before cutting off the mental link.
"Blaze Wing!', Soundwave shouts.
"Huh, what?", I ask in surprise.
"You zoned out. Are you okay?", he asks, worry evident in his voice.
"I'm fine. Sire was just worried about me because apparently I've been gone for three days", I explain before deciding to leave.
"Alright, anyway, I had to get your attention because Megatron wants us", he says.
"What for?", I ask.
"I don't know", Soundwave says as we exit. He had already put his visor back on but for some reason, I could still see his face.
We make our way to the bridge and Starscream and Arachnid are already there.
"Blaze Wing, you will accompany Starscream and Arachnid to the Harbinger to retrieve a relic", Megatron says.
"Okay. See you later, Sound", I say with a smile. The three of us head to the flight deck and transform, with Starscream leading the way to the Harbinger.
Starscream zooms off and I'm about to follow when I hear a voice.
"Blaze, warn me next time you decide to transform", Sebs whispers.
"Sorry, Sebs", I say quietly.
"It's fine", he responds. "Now, where are we going?"
"A crash site", I answer. I see Starscream transforming and warn Sebastian before transforming as well.
Arachnid transforms about a minute later and my two companions start bickering. I look around for a point of entry and see none.
"Starscream, how are we going to get inside the ship?", I ask, still looking around.
"I will have to find a point of entry", Starscream proclaims. Arachnid, however, just creates one herself.
"Show off", Starscream mutters and I snort.
"Like you're not one?", I ask. He just glares at me before jumping down the hole. I follow almost immediately after and end up landing on top of Starscream.
"Blaze Wing, get off of me!", he shouts as he pounds the ground with his fist.
"Why?", I ask playfully.
"Because I don't trust Arachnid!", he snaps.
"Fair enough", I say and get off of Starscream,and help him up.
I start wandering around and after a few minutes, I hear Starscream yell Arachnid's name. Worry flashes through me and I pause, confused. Why am I worried about Starscream?
I shrug before darting through the halls to find Starscream trapped in spider webs.
"Starscream! What happened?", I exclaim in shock, anger filling my systems. Why am I angry?
"What does it look like?! Arachnid just trapped me and ran off!", he exclaims.
"Well, we gotta get it off", I say as I try pulling it off. It starts to come off but before I can get it off, I am shot away from him and trapped in webbing myself.
Arachnid ran past and Starscream yelled at her as the Autobots came around the corner. She quickly dug a tunnel and Arcee followed her.
"Arcee!", Sire called after her. He looked at me and Starscream before turning to Bee and Bulk.
"We can leave them here for now. They will not be able to escape", he says.
"Sire, wait! Can you get a ground bridge for Sebastian? I don't want him to have to stay hidden for much longer", I explain. Sire nods and they let me loose just long enough to get Sebs out of here before trapping me back in the webbing.
"You had a human with you the entire time you on the Nemesis?", Starscream asks. I nod and he chuckles. "You kept him hidden the entire time too. That's impressive."
"Well, I mostly forgot about him half the time... oh scrap... if I forgot about him half the time, he must be starving", I say. "Some guardian I'm turning out to be."
Starscream looks at me curiously before he looks away and appears to be lost in thought.
I watch him but grow lost in thought as I study his features. After a few moments, I realize I was staring. Blushing, I stare up at the ceiling to ignore the strange feeling growing inside me.
"Blaze Wing? Are you alright? Your face is very blue", Starscream says.
"I'm fine", I mutter as embarrassment and happiness(?) fills my systems. What is wrong with my emotions?
Fortunately, the Autobots come back and we get out of the webs only to be put in clamps. It was very uncomfortable for my wings as my wings are very sensitive, as a seeker's wings should be. I'm sad that my family doesn't trust me though...
We get out of the ship and they question where Arachnid went. Starscream explains to them and Sire transforms with his trailer.
"Get in", Arcee growls. I go compliantly while Starscream glares at her. Bulkhead comes up next to Arcee and Starscream climbs in. Unfortunately, since the trailer was so small, we both had to lay down which was very very awkward. I was laying on my side facing Starscream but I refused to look at him. Evidently, he had noticed I was feeling sad, and asked me about it.
"Are you okay?", Starscream asks gently. I look up in surprise and see worry in his optics, surprising me even more.
I pause before shaking my head.
"What's wrong?", Starscream asks. Before I can answer, we hit a bumb sending me careening into him.
When everything settled down, I realized that my back was against Starscream's chassis and his arms were around me somehow.
"Oh... um...", Starscream says surprised and unsure of to actually say.
"It's fine", I say quietly, smiling softly to myself. This felt... normal? Why did this feel normal?
"Oh... um... alright", Starscream says before moving to a comfortable position.
Soon, we were stopping and Starscream and I both knew that we had to separate and quickly. He lifts his arms and I roll away, just in time.
The door opened and Bulkhead yanked Starscream out. I scooted out before he could do the same to me. I glared at Sire and he was looking at me. From the look in his optics, I could tell we were going to a have a talk later.
I groan mentally and watch as they interrogate Starscream. Three of the four drive off, leaving me, Starscream, and Arcee.
Starscream and Arcee start talking and I only start paying attention when Starscream yells.
"What?! She's taking credit for scrapping him now, too?!", he exclaims. My optics widen and I shake my helm at Starscream. He got the hint.
"What?", Arcee asks suspiciously. "You weren't there."
"Of course I wasn't. I don't know what I'm talking about", Starscream says as innocently as he can. Which isn't very innocent.
"Who are you talking about?", Arcee asks.
"No one. Who are you talking about?", Screamer asks.
"Tailgate", Arcee practically growls.
"Who's Tailgate?"
I groan after that. Starscream, you idiot! Arcee throws the key to Screamer's cuffs down into the ground. Starscream fakes being afraid and drops the key. When Arcee bends to pick it up, Starscream claws her. Arcee drops the key and glances down at her side. Starscream chuckles evilly and unlocks his cuffs before handing me the key. I unlock my cuffs and watch as they fight.
Arcee manages to pin him down and I watch in horror as she's about to kill him. I don't even notice Bumblebee until after Arcee looks up at him. She stands up and walks a few feet away. Bumblebee goes to help and I help Starscream.
I help him up and he glances at me and then the Autobots before running away. I stare after him before following. After running for a while, he stops and starts ramming himself into a rock to get the clamp off. I climb up onto a different rock and watch him for a while.
Once he gets it off, I start clapping. He looks up quickly, obviously shocked that I had followed him.
"Blaze Wing? What are you doing here?", he asks.
"Following you? Now do you want to help me get this clamp off?", I ask before holding up the key to it. He rolls his eyes but takes the key before unlocking the clamp. I stretch my wings, not expecting Starscream to touch them. When he runs his servo lightly over them, I shiver.
"S-starscream?", I whisper as he gently touches where my wings connect to my back.
He doesn't respond as he steps in front of me. My wings droop in relief and in... sadness? as he walks away.
"I think it would be best if we parted ways", Starscream says.
"Wha-? Why?", I ask, shocked.
"Don't!", Starscream exclaims as his wings droop. "Just... don't..."
I don't say anything as he transforms and starts flying away. I feel something fall down my faceplate and realize I started crying. I finally realize what all those strange emotions where earlier...
I like the Decepticon SIC, Starscream. Or rather, the Decepticon rogue...
Like I said, really long... This took me several days to type up as I wrote this all in a notebook first unlike my other books. At least it gives me something to do other than reading all the time. :)
