Firestorm and Nightshade

Chapter 5

Chapter Five

Firestorm was getting his monthly check up, his creators were at work and Nightshade was the one who took him. The younger twin watched everything the doctors and nurses did with narrowed optics, his instincts telling him something was not right. When the checkup was close to finished, the door opened and three Cybertronians walked in.

"What are you doing here?!" a nurse demanded, "this is a private wing"

The green and grey mech shot her and the pink and gold and red and black femmes shot the other healers.

Nightshade ran toward them, his sword drawn, ready to protect his Sparked brother. The pink and gold femme smiled and darted toward him, her optics blazing and her servos turning into talons. The two fought heatedly.

Firestorm shrunk away from the battle, his arms covering his front. The mechling was never a fighter, he always wanted to heal others.

The mech looked over at the youngling and smiled, sharp dentas gleaming.

"Cosmic" his voice held danger in it, "get the Sparked one"

The red and black femme smirked and lunged at Firestorm. The mechling let out a fear-filled screech and tried to get away but sharp servos grabbed his leg and pulled him toward the crazed female.

"LET ME GO!" the red and white mech demanded and kicked her silver face.

She hissed and grabbed his other leg before throwing him toward her leader, who caught the poor youngling.

Firestorm shivered in fear and looked for his twins help. His magenta optics spotted Nightshade still fighting the pink and gold femme, the red and black one closing in from behind.

"NIGHT-ANMRFO!" Firestorm shouted and struggled as his mouth plating was covered.

Cosmic hit the older twim hard on the back of his helm, he collapsed in a daze and that is when they took their leave, threatening to kill the Sparked youngling if anyone were to stop them.

Outside, Cosmic and the other femme transformed into Jets. The mech knocked the youngling out and transformed into a jet himself. They flew off, the mech carrying the Sparked twin along.

:Autobot HQ:

Ratchet ran into the main part of the base when he heard and explosion. He stopped at the sight in front of him.

Miko and Raf were coughing, Jack was leaning against Arcee in a daze, Darkshadow and Moonlasher against were leaning against the wall (they looked ready to pass out), the Guardians blinking stupidly and Optimus walking in from his office.

"What. In The Name of PRIMUS! Is Going On In HERE?!" Ratchet demanded, worried and angered.

Miko coughed again before speaking, "we were trying out an experiment when it exploded. Raf, Moon, Dark and I were the closest. Bulkhead, Arcee *Cough* and Bee came in when it went off. Jack was supervising from slightly farther back. When it exploded *cough* Moon and Dark shielded us"

Miko coughed harsher and groaned when the coughing subsided.

Ratchet grew even more worried, "what was the experiment?"

"Uhg... mixing a chunk of Cybertronian metal in subzero water than putting acid on it" Raf explained, "I have NO idea on why it exploded, I ran all calculations perfectly"

Ratchet blinked before sighing and pinching between his optics.

"Arcee, Bulkhead help Moonlasher and Darkshadow to my medbay" Ratchet ordered before picking up Miko and Raf, "Bumblebee bring Jack"

Once they entered the medbay, Ratchet checked on everyone's systems.

"You three look fine" Ratchet started, "but I am calling Nurse June in so that she can make sure I didn't miss anything. *Turns to the Cybertronians* Moonlasher and Darkshadow, your systems took most of the force so I want to make sure that the experiment didn't do any long-lasting damage. You two are to stay in the medbay for the night"

The two nodded, not having the energy to argue.

Ratchet looked at Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead "watch them until I'm back"

He left the medbay and called Jacks mother.

Ri-

#Hello?#

"Nurse June. Jack, Miko and Rafael made something blow up, I made sure they were fine but I need a human opinion" Ratchet explained.

#I'm on my way#

Click.

Ratchet sighed and closed his optics; he placed his servo over his Spark Chamber and leaned forward slightly. Grief and guilt weld up in him but the mech quickly pushed it down and straightened up. Now was not the time to dwell on the past.

The medic activated the Groundbridge and Junes' white car drove in. She quickly got out and took out her med-bag. The two healers got to the medbay in a matter of time. June checked the kids and sighed in relief once she finished.

"They just need a good night's sleep" June informed.

The Autobots gave their own sighs of relief.

"Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee take your charges home" Ratchet ordered.

"WHAT!" Miko shouted before coughing, "WHY?!"

"You need to rest" the medic informed.

"I agree with Ratchet" June picked her side, "you can all come back tomorrow, but ONLY if you rest"

Miko grumbled and the humans left with their Guardians. June left soon after.

Ratchet sighed and examined Darkshadow and Moonlasher again before telling them to recharge, they were out before Ratchet turned around.

The Autobot medic typed on the computer for the rest of the night, every hour he would make sure the others were alright.
