Megatron's twin

31:Stupid Voice Box

I awoke from my recharge peacefully, very peacefully. It made me really calm.

Untill I noticed large red optics starring down at me. The terror I felt was unimaginable, some creepy bot was starting down at me in my sleep. Instantly, I fell of the berth, taking my spark straight to the pits of PAIN.

"Oops, didn't mean to startle you." The cerry red bot apologized casually, not seeming to give a frag about the speedy spark failure I was having.

"You good? I came for a check-up."

I waited for the pain to stop. Some spark failures went for longer, however the instant and painful ones were always quick to leave.

But no, the pain was still there. I was in a good mood! And this fragger had to be watching me recharge!

I let off a bunch of angry clicks. Clicks? That wasn't supposed to happen. Suddenly I sat up, knocking over Knockout who was previously leaning over me.

"Pardon?" He asked.

"Screeeeeeee!" I exclaimed in panic, what was my voice box playing at? I seemed to have no control over the sounds I make. Stupid spark, stupid Knockout, stupid Voice Box.

I attempted to say, 'I hate you.' But each word/syllable came out as a, chirp, click and a drawn out wooooop.

I went to sign language. Pointing at the confused bot across me, then pretending to twist my neck.

He understood. "Ok, ok. But what's wrong?" He asked.

I pretended to stab my spark then pointed at where my voice box is at.

He blinked.

I repeated the action and he understood. "I made you have a spark failure?"

I nodded letting out a angry hiss which wasn't even supposed to come out. So I'm making random noises and random times too. Great!

"And these sounds are involuntary?"

I nodded.

"Well then... Let's go to the medbay." He said with fake confidence, he clearly had no clue what to do.

Damn, everyone will be looking at me like I'm crazy. I reminded myself that this was not the most embarrasing failure. The one at the top was when I lost the ability to hold in my transmission fluid, oh the mess.

I got up and followed the clueless aft, letting off a high pitched whistle while I did so. It hurt KO's audio receptors. "Just don't try and talk." He frowned, he knew this was gonna be a long day.

"Hoooook, click click, beep, whooo." I said in the attempt at saying, 'I didn't mean to.'

He turned and glared at me. "Is it randomly timed too?" He asked, I nodded. He growned.

"I guess I'll be speaking for you." He said, I swear he was already making a plan.

I honked in response.

We made it to the medbay, Breakdown was inside talking to Dreadwing who just seemed to be leaving. Good the less bots, the better.

However, a bunch of beeps sounding like the ones Bumblebee does, made them both stop and turn to me.

Thank Primus Knockout began to explain. "He had a spark failure. Voice box failed, he's making random noises which can be at random times too." He said hastily. "I think the sounds can also be matched to his emotions."

Dreadwing nodded, "I will inform Lord Megatron." He said before leaving.

Knockout turned to me, "get on the berth, I need to cut you open." Well that's subtle.

"Beeeep?" I said in panic.

"Open you up so I can see your voice box, nothing terrible."

"Click click, whoowhoo." I felt like a Sparkling, can't even say: yeah right, liar.

I was brought out of my thoughts as he transformed his servo into a circular saw.

I immediately bolted out of the medbay leaving a scream in my wake.

I was still screaming minutes later untill I found a spot to hide, one of the hallways side collums. Great hiding place.

Soon I heard two pairs of ped steps, one heavy and the other lighter. Voices matched them.

"That was Quillux screaming?" My twin asked.

"He was against medical treatment." Knockout said smoothly.

I was against decapitation!

I pushed myself close to the collum, hoping the would stroll right by. They did.

I let out a whistle of relief.

Both heard me and turned, Megatron raising an optic ridge. I sunk down the collum, to the floor, letting out a low whine while I did so.

Megatron and Knockout cast each other a look, Knockout shrugged and Megatron waved him off. How can they communicate without words so easily?

I let of a angry whirl of frustration. Followed by a bunch of depression. "We'll just wait for it to wear off." Megatron said and hefted me up by my arm.

I couldn't be bothered to stand so I fell against him. If he wants me to go somewhere he'll have to carry me.

He didn't seem to be bothered by this and continued by throwing me over his shoulder, his spikes on his shoulder hurt like a glitch but I wasn't going to complain.

He began to walk, leaving me to stare at where we had been.

Suddenly a yellow blur bolted past the hallway we were in. Megatron didn't see as it was behind him. The yellow bot backtracked to look at the unusual sight, it was Bumblebee.

"Beeeep-" I cut my greeting short, he'd probably think I was mocking him.

He waved before continuing whatever he was doing. Did he understand me?

I went back to being a limp sack of uselessness. Letting out a few clicks to tell Megatron I just saw Bumblebee.

"I can't understand you," he reminded me.

I squawked in reply.

Then I remembered the sparkbond.

I forgot about this. I stated.

Seems so.

Well, I just saw Bumblebee. I said.

Megatron almost dropped me, causing me to grip his plating. "What?"

"Beep click, woo, woop." I said instead of, ran past, just now.

He seemed to have a internal fight, a bit of annoyance getting through the sparkbond. Directed either at me or Bee, I couldn't tell.

"I'll deal with him later, for now I'm taking you back to your berth room." Oh that's nice.

"Screeeeeeee!" I screamed in excitement.

Megatron flinched. "You screamed right into my audio receptors."
