Gotta go fast

Chapter 9

It had been a couple of days since Knock Out and Luna had humiliated the bully brothers. They had enjoyed getting revenge on them even if it wasn't the way that Knock Out had first intended but that just showed him that Luna was the best human there was. She was able to look past what they had done and conjure up a way that was going to make her feel at least slightly better and get rid of the two from her life for good in a humane way. He did feel embarrassed that when he had said it that his true decepticon nature had surfaced but still the human had not flinched or criticised him.

Since the con had given her his number they had been constantly messaging each other when they were unable to meet. Although it did get on his nerves a bit. He was going to visit her the previous day but before he could Megatron had him and breakdown retrieve some energon from one of their mines. He even had to report to the gladiator when an armada of vehicons were destroyed. Since then he has been kept busy with the new synthetic energon that he had been asked to refine. Once again he was prevented from going to see Luna. She didn't mind though when he had messaged her.

*Come on then spill, what is this synthetic energon that you're working on?*

*It works just the same as regular energon except it can be made instead of mined. From what I saw from the autobot medic Ratchet is seemed to make the mech stronger, agile and fast. Something like this would really give us a boost* Knock Out had been summoned to the bridge at the time.

*You mean from what you felt, you said you spent ages trying to get the dents and scratches Ratchet inflicted on you off* she laughed as she recalled what the medic had told her before *It doesn't exactly sound Safe Knock Out. You're not going to inject any into you are you?*

*Worried about me squishy?*he smiled to himself as he walked down the corridors. He failed to notice Arachnid join him in his journey to the bridge. He was so concentrated on messaging his human that he didn't hear her asking him why he was happy. *What do you expect Ratchet obviously wasn't himself. He sounds more impulsive and angry*

Knock Out attention was pulled away from his private messaging when he was shoved to the side. He frowned at the femme as she as always looked very smug. "What do you want?" he grumbled

Arachnid laughed, she always found everyone else amusing. "As humans would say you were lost in your own little world, what's got you acting strangely?"

He hated the spider bots company, there was never anything good coming from talking to her. As always she was out for herself and that was always how it would be. "I'm not acting strangely"

As soon as he finished she jumped in front of him blocking his path. When he tried to manoeuvre around her she blocked him again, he knew that she was finding his growing frustration annoying. "Well why can I smell human on you?" The crimson red of Knock Outs optics grew bigger as he tried to figure out a way to throw her off of his case. Although in his mind he couldn't believe that the femme could smell Luna on him even though he hadn't seen her in a couple of days the scent was still there. It only meant that he had to be more careful otherwise suspicions would grow. "So I have a hobby to the pass the time. Racing against humans is fun and helps me from going stir crazy on this ship"

Arachnids face plates scrunched up at his answer before continuing forward ahead of the medic to the bridge, of course she was hoping for a more intriguing answer from him. *Believe me the last thing I'm going to do is test it on myself, although Arachnid is an idea*

*Let me guess the spider bots giving you grief" he could pick up some annoyance in her reply.

*Let's just say that one day she'll be under my knife. Sorry I can't see you today but Lord Megatron seems to have lost it a bit*
