Suffocating (Transformers Prime Fanfic)

Chapter 7: Don't Miss Him At All

Dezzy's Narrative:

      One of the vehicons stared at me, emotionless, as I hit a button on the keyboard. I had drifted from the back up to the front, where two vehicons were driving the ship. The one on the left was glaring at me, still, while I clicked two more which opened up a hologram of Earth. "Where are we going to land?"

     He didn't answer for a second, still staring at me, then replied, "a district known as Oregon."

    "Well populated?" I asked, but I was already clicking more buttons and scanning the hologram for 'Oregon', and started opening up the information they needed.

    "Stop..." The vehicon growled.

    "Stop what?" Raising an optic ridge and suppressing a small laugh, I asked.

    "Stop... touching the keyboard!" He was now glaring at my servo that was on the keyboard, his voice angry and stern.

    In the back, Stutter laughed, as did the others. That particular vehicon watched every move I made as I walked away, rolling my optics at the ignorant mech, sitting down beside Stutter. Wow. He loves his keyboard.

     "H-H-He's possessive over the t-tasks he's given. Like driving the ship." Stutter said with a tint of laughter in his voice.

   

      "Clearly." I smiled.

~~

     It's been maybe two weeks since our departure when we finally landed on Earth. Namely, in something called a forest, with tall trees and annoying birds chirping. Oh fun.

  

      "Th-th-this is going to b-b-be fun." Stutter stuttered happily.

     "Yeah." Was all I said. What mattered to me was getting back to the bots, finding Ratchet and sticking with him. He was about the only name I recognized on the list.

     "Deszetra, this way." Some vehicon called, waving beside Stutter.

     We were walking for maybe ten minutes when two of them parted off.

    "Where are you guys going?" I asked.

    "In the direction of Jasper Nevada." One replied. "Two different places to explore."

    "Watch out for Autobots." One beside me warned carefully.

     " 'Autobot' my aft!" The first vehicon laughed. "A bunch of carrier slagging, pit spawn, scrap brains. No problem."

     Ooh... You didn't.. I wanted to send some snappy comeback, but then things would get worse for my cover. Just have to stay quiet, and it'll be fine.

       "Deszetra?"

      I looked up at nodded in acknowledgment.

       "We are going to find shelter for you, and for the night." The vehicon said.

      " 'For me' ?" Raising an optic ridge, I asked.

     He seemed to get embarrassed. ".. Because your... with sparkling... you might need shelter..."

      "Just because I'm with sparkling doesn't mean--"

      "O-Oh look! an asteroid!" Stutter suddenly said; pointing to the blue sky.

     The vehicon and I both looked up, though there was nothing there. ...what?

      Stutter turned around and started walking, careless.

    "There is? No there isn't! What are you talking about?" The vehicon babbled.

     "Wanted t-t-o stop you from a-arguing." The stuttering vehicon replied evenly.

     Fair point. I started to walk after Stutter, leaving that one vehicon to stand there, and hopefully get eaten by something because he's annoying, and the last one joined as well.

    After maybe ten minutes of walking, I heard it.

     "Arcee, I don't need backup. It's energon scouting." A sing-song voice of a mech laughed from around the corner of a large rock. "Why do femmes worry so much?"

     "We don't, genius." I snapped as we rounded the corner.

     It was a red mech with horns, and a playboy expression.

     "Really?" He raised an optic ridge.

    "Why don't mechs ever understand?" My voice teasing, I laugh.

    His servos turn into blasters and the vehicons around me, and Stutter, do the same.

     He starts shooting, and being unarmed mainly because I'm a medic in training, I jump out of the way as firing starts ringing.

     "Okay, Arcee? Maybe I was a little wrong. Why don't you and Bee come kick some aft with me?" He called over his com link.

      A groundbridge opens up, something I haven't seen for a long time, and a blue femme and a black and yellow mech jump out, beginning to shoot as well.

      "Well this is fantastic." I muttered as I started to sneak back around the rock. Maybe I can pull one of the bots aside and  talk to them.

     The black and yellow one, I'm just assuming his name is Bumblebee, parts off from the femme and the other mech, while the other two go one way, he steps towards the rock. Not smart if you ask me..

    Before I knew it he got shot down, and aw scrap Stutter why did you do that?!

     He looked up at me.

    "Play dead." I whispered.

    Bumblebee Looked confused, but he did it, and sure Enough I heard Stutter call out the scout was dead, and stayed back.

      ::Who are you?:: He beeped when the vehicons ran after the remaining bots.

      ".. I'm...." I began, but stopped. I can't leave yet. Megatron will find out, and I'll be a traitor. He'll find out Sky Rocket knew everything, and.. she'll be killed. I can't let that happen. I can bring her with me. "It doesn't matter. Let me see your shoulder." I got onto my knees beside him and used the weld in my servo to patch the wound.

      ::Why are you--::

     "Shut up and listen. Don't tell anyone about me. I'm an Autobot, but I need to do something before I come back with you." My voice stern, I interrupted. "And when I do, tell Ratchet what happened today, and tell him it's Dezzy. ...It's Orion's friend."

      The scout reluctantly nodded.

    "Go." I jumped up and ran off to join Stutter.

Sorry for the slow update!
