A.... Pirate

Chapter 20

You narrowed your optics visor narrowing with them. Your former captain tapped his chin with a hook. 

"(Y/n). (Y/n). (Y/n)." He drawled as you writhered in your binds, "you tried to murder me and all of the crew, your family." He spoke in a gruff voice gripping your face between two digits 

"Family? Yer definition o' that word seems t' be who ever can dodge a jab th' fastest." You snarled spitting at him 

He wiped the oral lubricant from his face plate with a low growl showing of his jagged dent. 

"I really am going to enjoy this." He snapped his digits, "Throw them both into the thruster." 

He looked at Prowl then his cracked optics settled on the hat on his helm. A grin forming onto his cracked derma. He roughly took the hat from his helm causing you lurch yourself forward only to get tugged back from the grub the bot behind you had. 

"I must say though (y/n) I was always jealous of your hat." He spoke placing it on his own helm 

You watched the purple feather quiver amen you growled wrenching yourself about growling loudly. 

"Ye're a yellow-bellied cur! Ye donât even 'ave th' courage t' face off against me in a proper fight! Yeâre jus' hidin' behind th' stronger bots! YE yellow-bellied cur!!" You screamed yanking your shoulder plate free of the bots grip

The mech laughed tilting your hat up with his thumb, "You really think I'm the coward here?" He asked turning his back, "take them away." 

You struggled more as the bots began to drag both you and prowl away. 

"At least Iâm brave enough t' use me owns name ye glitch! Only a yellow-bellied cur refuses t' present hisself as who they really are, 'n at least I know who I be! I be (y/n) th' autobot!" you grinned when everyone stopped even the captain as he looked back at you 

"You don't know my designation you don't know who I am." He spoke turning towards you, "I am Captain Firestopper. Answer you are below me." You grin widened when you saw the fear dash across his optics 

"Yeâve always feared me, yeâve always known I was smarter than ye originally thought. It shocked ye t' find I wasnât mindless follower like th' rest o' yer crew. It shocked ye t' find out I knew about yer plan t' offline me way afore I blew up yer ship. See I had t' do it, 'twas either ye or me, 'n as ye can plainly see I was th' faster draw." You spoke shrugging off the servo on your shoulder, " Wasnât I Tailspin?" 

You hissed at the strike of a servo across your faceplate. You glared back up at your former captain who you exposed to be of an enemy fleet. 

"Dispose of them!"He shouted, "Now!" 

Every bot took a step back away from him. He jerked his helm around a look of angered desperation on his faceplates. Your optics widened when he grabbed Prowl by the throat pipes. 

"Fine I'll do it myself!" He hissed loudly 

You looked desperately around. You had no other choice, but you can't let him get hurt, but you can't let Prowl get hurt either. You have too.

You released a loud high pitched whistle and watched your hat as you released one in a louder note then another high one. 

The captain suddenly screamed then claws met his optics dropping Prowl he brought his servos up trying to block the wings and claws slapping at his face. You finally wiggled lose and scrambled over to prowl freeing him.

"'tis th' second time today Iâve had t' save yer aft Prowler, ye owe me big time." you tease visor twinkling mischievously 

"Your hat is a bird!?" He shouted staring at the Paradise Bird still at Tailspin's face 

"Well, yeah. Why do ye reckon I bought 'n freed all those other birds?" You spoke tugging him to his pedes,  "Comân we got t' go. I reckon I know where th' space bridge be." You spoke urgently pulling him out 

"But- your hat!" Prowl said 

You stopped at the door way and pushed four digits into your intake making a loud low whistle and bolted off Prowl following. Soon enough you felt a weight on your shoulder plate and you knew it was your parrot-like bird. You turned sharply around a corner and refused to slow down. 

You quickly entered the lower decks hull and sure enough you were correct. There was the space bridge. You rushed over to the panel and started to type in coordinates. The bridge activated and you whirled around fist raised when someone rushed through the door. 

"Gana?" You asked lowering your fists

"The one and only." The Mech laughed, "I figured you'd be down here. I have your weapons." 

He handed prowl his spinning disks and you a saber. You quickly inspected then blade spotting many engravings of designations of former captains. You opened your intake when Gana cut you off.

"You deserve the honor of carrying the blade of elders. At least by my standards," He's laughed, "Now I felt you excuse me I've got to get my licks in on Tailspin." 

"Hit áem a couple times for me." You laughed 

Gana nodded then ran off. You grabbed Prowls arm and with the blade pinned between your jaws and bird gripping tightly to your shoulder you threw your grapple to a pipe above you and swung through the space bridge with your boys.
