Gotta go fast

Chapter 20

Not a couple of days since Luna had been kidnapped after distracting the decepticons from Fowler and June and then been saved by Knock Out, the ex-con had not let her out of his sights. He had kept her close at all times which was mainly for his reassurance since he had experienced a spark attack when Jack had rang Arcee to tell him that Luna had been taken. Even so the brunette had not argued against his over protectiveness on the base instead she welcomed it. She particularly missed it just being Knock Out and Luna alone now that they had joined the autobots, well Knock Out had and Luna no longer had a home so she didn't have anywhere else to go. She didn't mind sleeping on the couch or with Knock Out in fact she couldn't believe that she slept a whole lot better than she would at home.

The person that seemed to notice her sleeping arrangements was Knock Out which worried him. He had noticed that the young woman was a lot quieter normal and if she wanted company she would always seek either Bumblebee or himself out. However she was seen alone more often and was never bothered about it. The medic knew that she was probably home sick and he didn't blame her. He felt bad for her, it was his fault that her building went up in flames.

Since the Predacon had shown up everyone had been on edge every time they went out to scout or respond to decepticon activity. Luckily for him Knock Out didn't go very often seeing as there were enough guns going out there already.

Currently everyone but Wheeljack, Ultra Magnus and Ratchet were out scouting sectors for Predacon bones. The wrecker was in the commander's ship making modifications to it not that he was aware. While Ratchet and Knock Out were working on the synthetic energon with Luna watching them closely.

"Why are there Predacon bones on Earth Knock Out?" she asked curiously. The question had been haunting her for a while.

"Megatron sent them here to guard the energon cache's on the planet around about the time your history dates the dinosaurs" he fiddled with some chemicals while he answered her.

Her eyes searched the area as she thought for a moment. The cogs in her brain turning. "But that would mean that the stories of the earliest dinosaurs were cybertronian and not organic" she wondered how the human legends had somehow shaped around the metallic beings. How could historians have not seen this? It made her really question whether anything she was taught was really true.

"We really need to find Shockwaves secret lab so that we can prevent the uprising of even more Predacons"

"He'll use them to kill us all won't he?" the questions made the three bots in the room look at her. They could all see that she sad, that she was suffering emotionally. No one dare reply to her in fear that they just make everything worse.

The red mech stopped what he was doing and put whatever he was doing down. His spark couldn't take seeing Luna so down hearted anymore. She squealed when his hand wrapped around her and lifted her off of the catwalk. Knock Out went straight to Ultra Magnus standing up straight to the commanding bot. Out of all the autobots Ultra Magnus was the one that Knock Out couldn't stand. He had learned to tolerate all the other autobots but the second in command was the one he could never, mostly because he was very strict and very by-the-book. "Permission to leave the base for at least an half an hour"

The blue mech stared at him a frown forming as he looked to the confused to brown haired woman in his right servo. "For what purpose?"

"Personal reasons as well as health" Knock Out looked down to Luna.

It took a moment but Ultra Magnus allowed him to go with the human to where ever it as that he was going to go. Luna didn't bother questioning his reasons for health, she had lost the will to argue about most things very recently. Now she would just go along with everything.
