Chapter 27.

The young predacon walked among the smoldering wreckage of the Autobot base, her ears down and optics full of sorrow. She looked at the areas which she had memorized as the Autobot training area, where she would always watch accompanied by Lennox and Epps. Springlock sighed and continued looking around, then finding what used to be the medbay. A small smile upon her face as she remembered some pleasant memories with the old doctor.

"What was this area?" Springtrap asked.

"The medbay, Autobot infirmary more or less. This is where Optimus, Ratchet and I found out what the relics purple gem was capable of. Of course Ratchet at first said it was a 'cybertronian parasite' because it came alive and attached to my wrist and wouldn't let go." She said.

Everyone around her looked baffled, including the raptors.

"That's a pretty large parasite if you ask me." Skylynx mumbled.

"Well if it WAS a parasite, I'd agree. But it turned out to be my sister's soul possessing it, and no she's not Cybertronian. She was ordered by Primus to make the relic merge with me, which is why I'm able to do everything I can now." Springlock explained.

"Interesting that only a bracelet turned you into a gargantuan robot." Bendy said.

The female Predacon nodded in agreement, then her bunny ears perked as she heard something. The other Predacons heard as well and took defensive position around Springlock. They all took a glance around to see what, or who, had made the noise. The young female Predacon looked towards a larger piece of what was once a wall, and slowly walked towards it. Predaking stayed beside her as he changed his one arm into a charged plasma weapon.

"Who's there?" Springlock asked.

There was no answer, but she was convinced someone was there. She and the King slowly came upon the destroyed wall, both of them prepared to attack. Springlock then launched over the wall and landed on the other side, turning to face the spy with her teeth and claws bared. But she was happy to see who it was.

"Ratchet!!" She said happily.

The medic was unsure of who she was by her appearance.

"Who are you and how do you know my name?" Ratchet said as he was secretly preparing a weapon to attack.

"Ratchet, it's me Sky! You know, the relic? The relic that Optimus brought back that attached to my wrist?" She made gestures to her arm where the relic was once.

Ratchet then seemed to understand, his faceplates then curved into a small smile as she helped him to his feet. Springlock was much taller than him

"By Primus, you figured out how to use the stone. And it would seem you acquired more." The medic noticed the other 6 gems below her collarbones and slowly reached for them.

Predaking took aim at Ratchet with a hiss, startling the poor Autobot as he did not know the male Predacon.

"Do not DARE to touch her, Autobot." He growled.

"Whoa! Predaking, he's a friend! A really good friend, put your gun away." She told him.

The King reluctantly put his weapon away as her other compatriots came over to accompany her.

"And I see you've made new friends." Ratchet said.

"Well you know me. Ratchet...what happened Here? What happened to the base?" She asked.

The medic sighed, "Decepticons. Bumblebee left on his own in order to find Optimus, and they had apprehended him as well. But fortunately, he warned us all of an incoming Decepticon air attack on the base. We got everyone out just in time, both humans and Autobots." The medic explained.

"What about my dog? Lulu?" Springlock asked.

"Lennox carried her out himself, he grew quite attached to your little canine." Ratchet said.

Springlock sighed of relief that her dog was alright.

"So where are the others?" She asks.

"Back in our Washington DC base, I stayed in this state to see if any of my equipment had survived." He said.

"Can you take us there?" Springs ears perked.

"Certainly, it is quite a drive though. Or for you, quite a flight." He warned.

"Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" She said happily.

I smile to myself as I watch them begin to depart.

"Your journey is almost over, youngling."
