Torn between ~ Transformers Prime

Chapter 11

It was Ratchet, of all bots they could snag it was him? He was just a medic that never even le- then it hit me. The Autobots had taken Soundwave, yet I didn't really give a frag, but then that means that they brought him back to their base. And laserbeak found him...

I stared at Ratchet, my icy gaze locked on him until he finally locked his eyes on mine. He seemed shocked and then even more terrified.

I slowly swayed my head back and forth like a cobra, inspecting an animal a little uncertain. He had to brake the gaze when Predaking started beating him, I snorted and leaped into the sky, not wanting to be present during that event.

Thunder rumbled and strong wind whipped at my wings but I kept them straight. Lightning shot straight down in hundreds of small branched out shocks, one almost striking me.

I veered off a little and almost get run over by Starscream. I bellow angrily at him but he continues on, a small armada of at least 10 vehicons in formation behind him.

Snarling profanity under my breath I continue circling the ship, ducking under and over the wings and fins of the large battle ship...

Until I heard Predakings roar of fury.

Well damn.

I immediately veered onto the deck to see ratchet shaking getting up from the ground and Predaking storming to the ship. When I landed on the ship I clacked my claws on the metal roof. " well what did you tell him to piss him off like that? " I ask as Ratchet whipped around to stare at me.

He sighed realising I wasn't going to attack. " Megatron baited us into the lab, he wants you and other predacons gone because he believes the predacon would overpower him " I stare at him, before slowly moving my head towards the door where Predaking disappeared.

" go, contact your team. " I say in a hushed voice as I continued staring at the door. Ratchet nodded and ran into the warship.

My breathing got heavier and deep with anger, throwing my head back and letting out a anguishing cry of rage before hurling myself into the air.

I fly circles around the ship, my extended hearing able to pick up Predakings roars of anger and blasts from his cannon.

Picking up he was with Megatron, I quickly flew around to the side of the ship they were on. Seeing an empty escape pod fly put made me pump my wings faster.

The opening of the pods area showed Predaking, clinging to the sides to keep from plummeting. The next few moments was a blur in slow motion.

I had hurled myself at the opening, reaching out my back legs to wrap around Predakings shoulders to drag him away as Megatron power up his cannon.

My talons had just wrapped around his arms  and yanked him back before a blast of searing purple shot from the evil warlords cannon.

And struck me square in the chest.

It was like the world spun a million times an hour. My mind felt underwater but my actions stayed the same. I felt myself slam into the side of the warship, I would have fallen to the ground thousands of feet below if Predaking hadn't transformed and tightly grabbed me by my wings while sinking his talons into the edge of one of the warships smaller back fins.

Wind was blasting past us making it difficult for the large predacon to get to the base of the fin while holding onto the smaller Cybertronion reptile.

The panels that held the large stabilizing wings of the ship made a large tent shaped gap on the metal slabs big enough for the two dragons. Predaking moved the limp body of the smaller predacon as far back as the narrowing tunnel would go, out of sight if anyone was to come looking. Sparks constantly flickering in the destroyed chest of the young dragon.

" Shadow, it's alright, your going to be fine " Predaking spoke, mostly to himself, still in beast form. He gently nudged her muzzle, lifting it a small but off the ground before letting it go limp.

Her pale crimson eyes continuously flickered, slowly flickering more constantly. The large Predacon folded in his massive wings to make a little more space before easing himself beside the fatally wounded dragon.

He positioned her as comfortably as he could in the hiding place, with her newly shredded wings folded neatly on her back, head resting on his forelegs.

Predaking lowered head large head over her neck. " I'm sorry " He whispered closing his golden eyes. " I shouldn't have captured you from the arctic, I should have pretended I followed orders "  he reopened his eyes and swept his gaze over her broken front.

Her arms and around her shoulders were slightly burnt, but would not be noticeable in movements. Her chest had broken pieces bent around the area that was hit square. Wire-like veins broken, bleeding energon. Her spark chamber was burnt, some pieces missing and broke.

A small sound of pain came from her throat and Predaking felt a small spark of hope, she was alive and fighting to stay that way.

Predaking's head lifted when the sound of gunfire went off inside and above the ship.

The Autobots were here.
