The Second Star

Chapter 4

A few days later, i'm in the main area, having to listen to Thundercracker grumbling a lot. Mainly about how creatures who can't fly are useless. I take off my gloves, and stuff them in my pockets, and my left eye goes red in my built up anger. I growl, and i feel my hand literally shifting, and i point it at him.

"SHUT UP ALREADY" i raise my voice, and he looks shocked, but angered. I feel little... vibrations on the hand pointing at him.

"Tiny Pest!" i hear Starscream, but he's in a different room. I don't reply, so i soon hear him coming into the area. He starts like he's going to yell at me, but stops.

"Tiny Pest!!" he growls, and i don't move. I won't until this Decepticon either gets hurt, or i'm pulled away. I'm grabbed and picked up which i hiss.

"Get a hold of yourself" Starscream hisses, and i'm carried off. I can only see half of what i can normally, i'm so pissed. Walking into the room where Lord Megatron trains me, he puts me down, closing the door, and standing in front of it. I glare up at him, lowering my hand.

"Calm down" he growls, and i growl, before pacing in a circle, finally seeing something odd on the hand i pointed at Thundercracker. I frown, confused, and lift it to where i can see it with my non blinded eye. A Cannon. I got cannons. I blink surprised, before awe fills me.

"I-" i start, before looking up at Starscream. His expression is unreadable. I can't tell if he's irritated, angered, proud (that'd be a shocker), or just bugged that i'm using up his time. I get my Cybertronian traits through anger. Whenever i'm overly angry, i get something. My father takes a moment, before shaking his head

"You don't have to stay under supervision of Thundercracker now" he states, and internally, i cheer. Heck, i'd prefer Barricade over Thundercracker! Yeah he doesn't like ME, but i hate that flying-obsessed idiot.

"I'll inform Master on this new development" he says, his voice empty. Why are my higher ups scarier when they're visibly empty or calm, i don't like this... he lets me out of the room, and i can feel his gaze on me when i walk out, and somehow make my cannons... um... untransform. Walking to my room, i go out of my way to avoid Thundercracker's gaze. Leaning against a wall, i smile. I'm becoming more Techno-organic as i go on. I don't even remember what i came into contact with! Or if i even did. I should've, based on what Starscream asked when i got my daggers. I sit on my bed, and fall back, landing odd on my ponytail.

"Dang it" i grumble, moving it out of the way, and lie back down. I have cannons. What's next? Would it be armour or something? I don't know. Maybe i can figure out how to 'communicate' with Prime's daughter and ask her. If i don't get into too much trouble from it. I'm not risking it until after Lord Megatron trains me at least a little bit with these new cannons though.

"Human girl!" Lord Megatron calls out, and i get up, hurrying out to wherever he is. Standing in the main area, he watches me come in. OK? I look up at him, and he meets my gaze with his glowing red optics.

"You got cannons now?" he asks, and i smile, taking a moment, before the metal forms around my hands, cannons. Beautiful silver coloured, and i look up at him, releasing a breath that i didn't realise i was holding. He nods

"To the training room." he demands, and i nod, the cannons unforming, and i run off to the training room. Welp. new training at least! Woo!

A week of training later, i sneak out, of course wearing my eyepatch, glaring at Frenzy, who i see right away on the roof. I see you up there little Decepticon. He hisses, but gives up, just going to chill. I smile, walking to the cafe.

"Welcome back X!" the cashier greets me, and i smile. Her name is Abigail "hot cocoa, the usual?" she asks, returning my smile. I think, nodding, and pointing at a chocolate covered doughnut.
