Forsaken

★ Chapter 11 ★

Ratchet:" I am fixing him up as best I can. However, some of these injuries he sustained are going to require time to heal. I have reason to believe several wounds are from Megatron himself."

Bulkhead:" really? How do you know that?"

Ratchet:" believe me, I have fixed Optimus more than enough times to know what kind of damage Megatron can cause"

Arcee:" he probably fragging deserves it!"

Optimus:" perhaps he deserved some form of punishment... But I do not believe that it is acceptable to give out physical or verbal punishment as a means of discipline. "

Despite Arcees evident Hatred for the seeker, Things from now were rather peaceful. Since Asteria had broken yet another tool, she was sent on the floor to play. Confused by what was going on, the little Femme looked back and forth, waiting to see if her beloved daddy had sturred. Then, her attention span would break, and she goes back to playing. She played with whatever it was she could find on the floor. Since it was not a place the larger bots were able to reach, it was slightly dusty creating a couple of sneezes here and there. Eventually, getting tired Asteria let out a giant yawn, her little-fanged teeth pointed out as she gaped the air around her getting a mouthful of dust in the process. Her face scrunched up as the particles tickled the sides of her nose.

Asteria;" ahh.. ahh...ACHOO!"

A sheer amount of horrified panic filled the room. Right before the children's very eyes, Asteria had vanished! How, when, why, how?! Did she teleport? Can cybertronians even do that?

Jack:" Y-you saw that, right? She just vanished!

Miko:" she can turn invisible or whatever? Awesome! "

Raft:" o-oh, no! We better find her! Starscream's going to be angry!"

Usually, the children would take the initiative and sort the issue out themselves because they often were unable to help, but this was a matter of safety. Asteria May get hurt alone, and Starscream would defiantly cause some damage himself if he found out Asteria was missing.

Bulkhead:" what do you mean she vanished?"

Miko:" she vanished as in she "vanished" like poof! Like magic! we gotta find her."

Ratchet;". I can keep Starscream in stasis for extra time but not for too long. I hope you find her before she breaks one of my tools."

All the bots went in separate directions in a desperate search for the little sparkling. Who knows what kind of things Asteria could get up to and who knew exactly how she was capable of such a thing. It was rare any Cybertronian to possess such a power. Curious indeed. If she were part of the team shortly, that would come in handy. One by one, everybody searches the halls much like they did when those horrible Scraplets invaded the base. Bulkhead cringed at the uncomfortable memory. That was a day that nobody would forget soon. At least, however, being so little Asteria was like most likely incapable of causing severe destruction, Although he could not say the same for the medics tools.

Bulkhead:" Asteria Where are you?"

Miko:" Asteria? "

Both of them doubted that calling out the youngling's name would result in a response, but perhaps if she heard her name, there would be signs of movement.there was nothing, Not a single sound. The base was as quiet as ever sending a chilling feeling down Mikos back.

Miko:" what if she somehow manages to get outside the base? What is she transported to the cons ship? "

Bulkhead:" Nah. I doubt Asteria's gone far at all. She's only a baby after all. "
