Firestorm and Nightshade

Chapter Six

Chapter Six

Firestorm groaned as consciousness returned to him. His magenta optics onlined and he let out a confused sound when he found himself in a dark cell. The mechling curled up protectively around his chassis and glowered at the bars.

The sound of pedsteps vibrated before a young femme with silver armour, light grey stripes, seeker wings and bright green optics came into view.

Her optics held great sadness and she was covered in scars.

"Hello" she spoke softly, as if she were afraid to startle him, "my name is Redempt"

Firestorm glared at her, "what do you want?"

Redempt stared at the mech sadly, "it is not me who wants you here, but my Master. I do not know why though"

Firestorm continued to glare but it was with less hate and anger.

"Can you help me escape?" the mech asked the femme.

Redempt stared at him with wide optics before shaking her helm and backing away.

"N-no. I'm sorry, but if I help you escape than I will be punished severely" the femme denied and turned to leave.

"WAIT!" Firestorm shouted, "If you help me escape, then my family can protect you and we can make the kidnappers go to jail!"

Redempt froze at this and turned, hesitance was in her optics.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

The femme blinked before taking an intake and letting it out.

"Tonight. When everyone is recharging. We will go then."

:Decepticon Warship:

Megatron and Arachnid walked side-by-side into Knockouts medbay. The mech stopped murmuring to himself, turned and bowed.

"Lord Megatron, Lady Arachnid" Knockout said with respect, "I am almost done with the thing you've requested"

"When will it be ready?"

"At latest, tomorrow" Knockout conceded.

The two Decepticon leaders smiled.

:Autobot HQ:

Ratchet stared at the screen as he monitored the teams signal.

A few hours ago, the computer got weird signals and the team dispersed, Ratchet and the human charges were the only ones left in base.

Miko was watching Ratchet with narrowed, concerned eyes while the other two played the car racing game.

'What is going on with you?' Miko thought and she clambered down to the floor, 'Why are you acting so strange all of the sudden?'

The girl walked deeper into the base until she came upon the Medics room.

"One look wouldn't hurt anyone" the girl whispered to herself.

She took a deep breath before slipping under the door and began looking around the large room.

"Where to start" she glanced around until her eyes landed on a strange object on the bed. She climbed the berth and walked over to it, blinking twice when she recognized it from somewhere. Miko picked it up (it was the size of a quarter) and examined the high-tech machine. She frowned when she saw a button on it and pressed it.

A hologram of a Cybertronian femme appeared.

"Entry number 54. Firestorm and I have almost finished the third rotation around Planet Aires. We will be dropping the last of the supplies to the refugees in sector 56 than head home."

"Entry number 55. Lord Megatron and Lady Arachnid had just contacted us. They say that it is unsafe to return, for THEY are back. Firestorm is taking us to a docile and distant planet called, Earth. We do not know how long we will be there, but we-I hope we can return to our home soon, End Log"

"Entry number 56. I had my Sparkling, she is precious and wonderful. We decided to name her Mikkah, after my little sister. We decided to make her look like one of the indigenous life forms, a hoo-man. The reason this is, is because of the association calle H. The association want to torture and experiment on our daughter. The human family who found us, the Nakadai, agreed to help protect her by taking her in. Firestorm and I will be heading back to Cybertron in the morning, our daughter will stay on Earth for her own protection"

The hologram shut off.

Miko stared, her eyes were wide at the fact that her family took in a Cybertronian family.

"How come I've never heard of this?" the girl murmured.

Ratchet looked over his shoulder and frowned when he only saw two humans.

"Where's Miko?" the medic asked, worried that the female followed the others into battle (again).

"She was here a second ago" Jack replied, he and Raf looked around.

Miko walked in from the hallway and blinked when she saw the two human boys looking under the couch, and in the elevator, while the medic was acting like nothing was happening.

"Uh, what's going on?" the Japanese girl asked.

"AHH!" the boys yelped and turned to stare at her.

"Miko! We thought you went after the others somehow!" Jack explained.

The girl huffed and sat on the couch, "I leave to go to the rest room for two minutes and the boys turn this place apart"

"Sorry" Raf murmured.

"It's fine" Miko accepted.

Optimus called in for a Groundbridge and Ratchet supplied him with one.
