High Voltage

~(Y/N)'s POV~

     The next day, I tried out Wildstryke, making sure all the systems were good and operational. Knockout said something about it being a bad idea, but I merely shrugged, and checked anyway, deciding to pay a visit to the war lord.

         "Well ain't you a sight to see?" I grinned, Megatron turning from the huge window of which he stared out of, and brooded.

         "Wildstryke? How did you come here without my noticing?" He seemed quite astonished.

         "Let's just call it magic, and leave it at that."

Megatron chuckled, "You never cease to amaze."

         "I would hope not, else I might become boring." I placed a servo on my hip plate, "I'm just here to say 'hi', believe it or not one starts to miss you guys."

         "A touching sentiment, though hardly believable."

     We talked for quite some time, though mostly it was him talking, and I just nodded or shook my helm. The colossal giant before me complained of the lack of better troops and lack of motivation when I left, and a few missions he had planned for me to undertake, but ended up giving to Starscream when he wasn't looking for me. He never mentioned the many times the Seeker had needed repairs from his failed adventures though, Knockout told me of his brutality during my absence, and it kind of appalled me...

         "Well, as much as I'd like to stay and talk for longer, I must be seeing the others, they don't know I'm here yet."

         "I could simply announce that you're here." Megatron offered.

         "I believe that to be rather unnecessary, and a little to impersonal, if you know what I mean."

         "I do, though I believe it to be equally as unnecessary."

         "Yes well, that's a Decepticon's view, and I'm not exactly a Decepticon, now am I?"

         "A shame really."

     With a simple farewell, I left to see the Vehicons that I knew. Most were in the mess-hall getting some energon, or rather, their daily ration, which really wasn't much. Many offered their ration to me, but I declined every offer, knowing that they needed it more than I.

         "Are you here for long?" One asked.

         "Well, this me is only here for a little bit longer, but the other me is staying." I smiled with my answer.

Many Vehicons cheered as they consumed their rations. I stayed for awhile, telling jokes and talking about my time off of the Nemesis. I never became specific with my stories, in fear that Megatron might be watching the camera feed that monitored the mess-hall. It might have been an irrational fear, but the precaution was logical. I made a note to ask Soundwave if Megatron watched the security feed often. Either way I'd be careful with what I say while he's around, even if he's practically on the other side of the entire ship!

         Later I found myself simply taking a walk around the whole of the ship, soon taking a detour up to the launch pad up top. There I saw the clouds, steadily getting darker as the ship started to enter a thunderstorm. I could here the low rumbles ahead already... That's when I noticed that no one else was on the launch pad with me... I decided to com Knockout.

         'Hey handsome... was there a warning that called for everyone to be inside the ship?'

         'Of course there was! We might be impervious to most of Earth's weather, but that doesn't mean we're invincible! ... Why?'

I paused before answering, 'No reason, I'm just on the launch pad...'

     In that instant a huge crack of thunder rolled through the clouds we were passing, making me flinch, and start to hope no lightening would appear. To my immense disliking, a streak of light and electricity passed right by my helm.

         "Scrap..." I started my way back into the war ship, having to dodge streaks of lightening from time to time. Once I was in though, I found that I still had to dodge the streaks of high voltage light as it passed through the metal of the Nemesis.

     Quicker than I thought I could ever go, I found my way to Knockout's berthroom, bursting in and quickly making the door shut. Before I could come away from the door a streak of lightening pierced the ship right in front of it, making the door hot and staticky. I hadn't taken my servos off of it in time, and received a rather harsh shock, making me jump back and into Knockout as he came to make sure I was alright.

         "Your digits are red hot!" He exclaimed, taking my servos into his, "Next time listen to the alarms that go off." He scolded.

Another burst of thunder shook the ship, making me jump.

         "Are you afraid of thunder and lightening?" Knockout asked.

         "I-I didn't use to be... b-but now- AAH!" I shrieked from another burst of lightening somewhere near by, feeling the electricity through the floor. I huddled into Knockout's chassis, more then simply scared, but terrified beyond belief.

         "Don't worry, it'll pass soon."

         "N-not soon enough!"

Knockout sighed, putting an arm around me, and leading me to his berth.

         "How about you get some rest. You don't have to go to switch bodies this once." He made me sit down.

         "Thanks Knockout..."

He kissed me at the top of my helm.

         "Anything for my darling."

I giggled a bit, but it was interrupted by a loud clap of thunder, making me pull myself up to Knockout's chassis again. Sighing, he pried my servos off of him, making me lay down. To my relief, and great astonishment, he took up the spot next me, laying down so that we were facing each other.

         "Better?" He asked, with a sweet smile gracing his faceplate.

I was about to answer him when another fizzle of lightening went through his berthroom right over us, and through the opposite wall. This scared me bad enough that I screamed, and curled up to his chassis once again.

         "Well would you look at that," he chuckled, "Sparks are truly flying my dear."

         "Sh-shut it y-you Cherry!"

He only chuckled some more.

(WOO! Thought it'd be another two weeks before I got another chapter out! Luckily no! Having no internet sucks sometimes. Anywho! Drew the picture myself! It's an adaption of another picture that should be here somewhere... guess you can call it hide'n'seek! XP No photoshop, just Gel-pen! Thanks so much for reading! Love ya'll!)
