Miko and I were playing video games when I decided she needed a formal whipping.
"Bumblebee! Wanna whip Miko in Forza for me?" He happily whirred in agreement. Raf and I have been really busy with school and haven't had much time to spend with the yellow mech.
"Oh, it's on Bee!" Miko said and grabbed her controller with a newfound determination. I walked over to Ratchet to check on the mech. Ratchet was not grumpy yet not unhappy I see me. I climbed my way up to the console to see what he was doing. He was checking diagnostics on the Bots.
"Arcee's chassis still might need a look after last weeks' disaster, Ratch." I said reading his diagnostic report from two days ago.
"How do you know?" He asked not believing I could read the foreign text.
"I read it right," I pointed, with struggle. "Here." He was shocked at my reveal.
"Since when have you been able to read Cybertronian?" Ratchet posed.
"Erm, since forever I guess? I don't know, but I'm the one that identified the schematics for the space bridge while we were aboard the Nemesis." I informed the medic.
"Oh, by the Allspark." He was muttering to himself. I was concerned but then the mech offered out his servo, which I jumped on. He walked over to Optimus, seeing his helm down in sorrow.
"Optimus, why so glum? This planet - All planets are finally free from Megatron's tyranny." Ratchet said, earning a punch on the servo from me. I looked at him disappointed and angered that he could ignore the feelings of his friend.
"I do not disagree, Ratchet. It's just..." The Prime trailer off.
"Optimus, were you hoping to give him a change of spark?" I asked reading the tall mech's processor.
"Yes, Iviana, but instead he left me no choice but to extinguish his spark." He said, voice thick with emotion.
"Optimus, his vileness was not slain by your hand but by his own twisted arrogance." Ratchet said angrily.
"Ratchet!" I scolded him, did he not remember that these two mechs were once close as brothers?
"I'm sorry. I know the two of you had quite a history." Ratchet said as he looked down at me. I didn't look him in the optics. Optimus drew a breath.
"But the Megatron whom I once fought beside perished eons ago, the day he chose to become a Decepticon." Optimus finishes bitterly. "The Decepticons may be in disarray, but they aren't without leadership. And while Starscream is no Megatron, he is far from predictable." He said turning toward the medic.
Suddenly an explosion rang throughout base. I clutched tightly to Ratchet's servo as he ran towards the danger to assess it. There was a cloud of smoke and sparks.
"Decepticons! We're under attack!" Ratchet screams out. Him and Optimus sprint towards the supposed threat. They see Raf waving fumes and smoke away while coughing. He has a volcano on four squares as he is working on it.
"There is not an attack Ratchet. It's my volcano." He says still coughing. The volcano collapsed and he looked sad.
"Or was." I said as I hopped out of Ratchets servo. Raf has a worried look on his face and screamed out.
"Iviana! You're going to-" he started but I was already dusting my clothes off and was perfectly fine. "Be fine?" He ended his previous sentence.
"Raf, I do that all the time! I have jumped from Ratchet's shoulder and I haven't broken anything. I'm like a cat, I always land on my feet." I said trying to explain.
