Megatron's twin

30:A Good Kick

I Tuned out to their cheery conversation untill Bee tapped my shoulder.

"What happened to him?" He asked.

I leaned closer to him, "we only had high grade to refuel on."

Bee nodded, then did a double take. "Wait, what? How much did he have?"

"Too much." I grinned.

"Why didn't you stop him?" He questioned.

"I was too busy giving him more."

"What happened?" Ha! like I was going to tell him.

"Not saying, but Laserbeak recorded it all."

"He did?"

"Yep, every bit. He found us before you did."

With that he left to have a peek in the hole, most likely to see if Laserbeak was still there. Meanwhile, I tuned into the others conversation.

"...We found some 'Con's frames, all dead, you were lucky." Arcee said.

"Which ones?" I asked.

She frowned at me, "Vehicons, the femme-"

"Oh, goodie. Where's her body?" I asked.

"Over there." She pointed to the pile of corpses near another mound of scrap.

I skipped over to the pile, glared at the good for nothing femme, and gave it a hearty kick.

Maggie raised a optic ridge in question then seemed to understand. I huffed and crossed my arms.

I felt the bond open up with my twin's voice following. You're out?

Yup.

About time.

Did you miss me? I taunted.

I got a bit of silence. Well that's good. He can't bring himself to say yes, but can't say no either.

You and the Predacon got along well. He changed the direction the conversation.

Yup.

It's not getting along well with Starscream. He said.

I can see why, so? I asked, he was heading somewhere with this.

I need you to train it.

I did not expect that. Huh?

I'm not repeating myself. I'm pissed enough about this. He growled.

I can see that, why though?

Starscream was late to a meeting because Knockout had to dislodge a tooth from his plating.

I laughed aloud, earning confused looked from the Autobots.

When do I need to be back?

Soon. He then closed the sparkbond.

I cleared my intake to get the attention of the others, leaving on the spot without a goodbye would be just rude, I would never do that...

I'm such a hypocrite.

Arcee narrowed her optics at me. "I gotta go." I said once they had their attention on me.

"Why?" Asked Bulkhead.

"Megatron wants me to sparkling sit the Predacon." I explained. Everyone looked confused, other than Optimus.

"We didn't hear you speak to him." Smokescreen said.

"We can speak through our sparkbond." I pointed out as if it was the most obvious thing.

"So that's how the 'cons knew where the base was." Arcee snarled.

"Pardon?"

"You told him through your sparkbond."

"Had no idea how to use it then." I said truthfully. "I didn't even tell them once I got to the Nemisis." I crossed my arms.

"If you must go, you may. We will not linger here any longer." Optimus spoke up.

"Well my time with you all was enjoyable." I bowed playfully, sneaking a wink at Optimus, who looked away quickly. With that I transformed and shot off.

The Autobots turned into small specks bellow me as I gained height, I already messed them (not Arcee).

"Soundwave!" I said into the com link. "I need a ground bridge." I got silence in return, is the com still not working? "You there?"

"Yeah." He played a slurred voice followed by a giggle. Optimus' voice.

"You better not play that in front of Megatron." I said, keeping my laughter barely in control. A ground bridge appeared in front of me and I flew through, it took me to the Predacon.

I was still flying and didn't have enough time to avoid him so I crashed straight into his chassis. I transformed, my helm slightly sore. I looked up to see the Predacon glaring at me, I awaited my fate.

My fate was a hug. It was a good hug, a good hug interrupted by Starscream stomping toward us with a prod.

"Stand up, you worthless brute." He growled at the Predacon, he hadn't noticed me yet, buried next to his chassis.

"You're already standing up Starscream." I pointed out, I swear the Predacon barked a laugh.

"When did you get here?" Starscream spluttered.

"Just now, I'm to train him now." I said.

"What? Says who?"

"Megatron."

He growled before turning. "Are you going to complain about the Predacon not getting to beat you?" I asked, noticing some scratches.

"He didn't beat me." He lied.

"The scratch across your aft says otherwise." I smirked. Starscream stormed off. "Did Knockout have to repair it?" Strangely, the image of knockout holding a blowtorch over Starscream's aft gave me some amusement. Then again Knockout was probably admiring it more then repairing it.

Starscream quickly left before my words could hurt him anymore.

The Predacon whined for my attention do I looked up and felt his chassis heat up. And glow...

He let off a massive beam of fire through the air.

Showoff.

"Can you change the heat?" I challenged, he barked at me before letting a weak red flame. Then throwing a almost entirely white beam. He kept playing around with it untill it got dark. That's when it started getting harder. He hated his kennel.

I tried pulling his tail, after I had asked him to get in nicely.

"You need to recharge." I grunted as he snaked his tail out of my grip.

"Fine, where do you want to sleep?" I crossed my arms in a huff.

He pointed his snout to the doors leading inside the Nemisis.

"You expect to fit through those?" He seemed to be alot like me, illogical thinking and all.

He lowed his helm with a whine and slouched over to his kennel. "Good boy!" I said and patted his side, lightening his mood a little.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I said before I left for the hallways. The dark hallways.

Because Megatron decides to put all the lights out.

Back to the old strategy of run through the dark as fast as I can.
