Ratchet P.O.V.

A single earth rotation had passed when Prime and I entered the cell of the captured M.E.C.H. cybertronian, his body was largely made of cybertronian parts, but scans revealed he was not fully cybertronian.

"Abraxis, we have questions for you."
Prime stated calmly, the bot apparently called Abraxis looked up at him.

"Why the hell should I talk to machines of war like you, Prime?"
He rolled his optics and looked down again, acting like a sassy earthling
"Did you have to remove my visor?"
He asked, as he looked up at us again, his face was sunken in but the helmet seemed totally sealed onto his head.

"Abraxis, you stated that you've died before, what do you mean by that?"
Abraxis scoffed
"I mean what I said ya damn machine, I've died before, and it's all the fault of you pathetic cybertronians"
I could tell Prime wasn't affected by his words, but I was starting to get irritated
"Speak clearly damn it, why do you refer to us as cy-"
"Cybertronians? Because that's what you are, disgusting soulless war machines"
"And you aren't?"
Prime asked coolly, I stepped back to recollect myself as the bot looked at him.

Abraxis let out a hollow laugh
"Maybe I am a war machine, maybe I'm nothing but a monster now, but the difference between you and me Prime? The difference is that I have a soul."
Me and Optimus looked at each other before Arcee spoke up after just entering.
"We cybertronians have souls, we call them sparks, souls are a human concept, so does that mean you're a human?"
Abraxis went silent.

"This guy is human? I don't believe you!"
Miko's voice suddenly came from the feet of Abraxis, looking down I saw Miko, Raphael, and Jack standing there.
"How could a human keep up with Bulk!? It's impossible! That's not a human!"
Abraxis looked down at Miko, his face softening slightly.
"Maybe I'm not a human anymore kid, what makes a human, human?"
Miko stared at him silently, anger burning behind her eyes, then Bumblebee entered the room
"Yer a human? But you can understand me?"
Abraxis looked up at him
"It's a bit hard, but you kinda speak in binary, and I understand binary"
The kids looked between each other and Bumblebee looked slightly impressed.
"What's your name then?"
Abraxis opened his mouth to speak, then paused, looked down, and his face darkened
"I don't remember clearly..."
"You can't remember?"
"No... I, I think it was... Y/N"

"Y/N? Well, that's certainly a human name"
Arcee spoke, Miko and Raphael still looked mad, but Jack seemed curious
"So how did you die? And how was it the fault of all cybertronians?"
Jack asked the questions that only seemed logical, I don't know why I didn't immediately ask that.

"I don't remember or know how long ago it was, I was leading an excavation crew when I heard your damn hissing portal, I got everyone else to clear out but next thing I know big yellow over there swings my car into a red guy, soon enough the two big guys are fighting near where im hiding, big blue and ugly shoots his shoulder canon, big green dodges, I get blown up"
Everyone aside from Abraxis and Arcee looked shocked, only for Arcee to step forward.

"I knew it... I'm sorry, I heard your scream but by the time I checked the exploded boulder you were already gone"

There was a flash of emotion on Abraxis', no, Y/N's face, he looked down.
"Oh... I uh, didn't know..."
His optics refocused on Ratchet
"Can I have my visor back, please?"

So uh, yeah, this is by no means finished, but I decided to just post what I had already written, who knows, I might find my inspiration later, but for now, I figured I'd give you a better ending than a cliffhanger

Thanks for understanding
