A.... Pirate

Chapter 6

You grunted as you smashed into the building by your hip grapple. You yelled as you were suddenly whipped away into the air by the bulky purple 'con. Which caused you to smash into Prowl trying to fight off the triple-changer. He pushed you off with a sharp glare and you adjusted your hat.

The reinforcements were taking way too long to get here. You dodged a punch from the towering mech as you searched for your long gone saber. You screeched loudly as firm servos of Blitzwing lifted you up off the ground pulling at the open grabble clip and yanking the cord out.

You heard a loud maniacal giggle as you were suddenly thrown by the Con at Prowl. He spun the both of you twisting your grappling cable around both of your forms as he laughed about something.

You were dazed unbalance by the time he stopped and started making a getaway. You were confused at Prowls yelling and responded with a soft 'huh?' After finally regaining your composure the Cons were long gone and Prowl was furious. After some strategic wiggling the cables fell to the ground limp and started to pull back into your hip.

You trotted over to your saber you just now spotted. You turned back to Prowl staring off to where the Cons disappeared off to. You chuckled softly.

"Ye know wha' they say, "ye can nah get them all."" You chuckled with a grin

"What WAS THAT!?" You were shocked by his tone and took a step back

"Huh?"

"Your fighting! I know your better than that! We shouldn't have been taken down so easily!" He was just seething with anger

"Jeez... Prowler aren't ye supposed t' be th' calm 'n collected one?" You joked trying to lighten the mood

"CAN YOU TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY!? For once in your onlining try to be serious instead of joking around like some sparkling!" He stepped forward and your spark ached at the sudden pain, "THis is serious! You should be able to immediately free yourself from your own grappling cable-!"

You had enough and jammed your fist right into his lip. The impact caused him to stumble back and stare at you in shock.

"Ye wants t' know why I be th' way I be!? Ye wants t' know why I "can nah loot thin's seriously"!? Ye wants t' know why I left our galleon all those cycles ago!?" Tears were brimming in your optics and you place a servo over your spark chamber

"Me carrier was a pleasure bot! I was an accident 'n she ne'er wanted me! I know who me sire be, but I don't he even knows I exist! 'n if he does I doubt he gives a damn!" You laughed bitterly,

"Me carrier had a different mech in her berth every night! I was a prisoner in me owns ship! I ne'er felt safe where I lived 'n ye know how I brightened me dreary exsistantce!? I laughed! I smiled! I refused t' let th' pain show!" You gripped the spot on your chassis

"Ye were me only heartie, besides me elder. She filled me wit' promises o' a brighter future away from me carrier 'n safe in her arms! She got sick 'n offlined, still promisin' that th' universe would someday be ready fer who I be! Aft she offlined I felt trapped in our galleon town. I felt suffocated by th' dark alleys o' me galleon!" Tears stared to stain your faceplate as you walked closer to him

"Prowler..." it hurt to much to speak, "Good bye...."

You stabbed the saber into the pavement by his side and bolted away transforming and speeding passed the others as they finally arrived. Bee released a confused sound as you whipped by him forcing yourself faster.

You didn't know where you were going or why, but you felt suffocated. You felt as through water was welling in your intake and sliding down toe throat pipes filling your tanks and expanding your protoform to a bloated round look. Your emotions were driving you forward as you whipped back and forth though traffic getting sharp angry yells from the humans in the vehicles.

You broke the city border. Why are you like this? Always running away from your fears, your problems, your emotions? You could never be fast enough to keep your shielded fragile dreams and hopes and emotions safe. You soon hit a dirt path and kept driving eventually breaking the state border.

Distance won't always her you safe. As much as you want it to.
