Reunited Lovers

First mission

As the weeks passed Moonracer slowly got used to being on Earth. She found many things about Earth that she loved, especially Saturday morning cartoons. Every Saturday morning after Bumblebee brought Raf to the base they would watch cartoons together. As Ratchet typed something on his computer he picked up a relic signal. And as it turns out, he and Moonracer were the only Cybertronians at the Autobot base at the moment. 

"Moonracer, do you think that you would be able to do a solo mission?" Ratchet asked Moonracer.

"Who, me? A solo mission? I would love to!" Moonracer said happily, walking over to the groundbridge.

"Good. All you need to do is pick up a relic in the Sahara Desert." Ratchet told her.

"Sure, I can do that. I'll be back in a hop, skip and a jump." Moonracer said as a big smile found its way onto her derma.

"Alright, be careful." Ratchet said as he opened the groundbridge.

Moonracer grabbed a scanner and waited for the groundbridge to open before she walked through. She couldn't believe that she was doing a solo mission. As she walked out of the other side of the groundbridge she felt the extreme heat and the sand below her peds.

"Great, I'm going to have sand in my transformation seams forever." Moonracer groaned as she started walking. 

Since no humans were around at the moment it was easier to find the relic. Moonracer turned the scanner on and immediately got the relic signal. She walked around for a while before she stumbled across the relic pod. Thankfully, the relic was in good condition.

"Ratchet, I found the relic." Moonracer said, using her comlink.

She picked the relic pod up as she waited for a groundbridge to open. When the groundbridge opened up Moonracer walked through. Little did she know that another groundbridge opened up nearby and a certain red mech walked out and a groundbridge close.

As the Nemesis flew in the sky Soundwave got a relic signal. As usual, he showed Megatron where the signal was coming from. Megatron didn't want to send Starscream to get the relic, so he decided that Knockout should do the job. Knockout however wasn't happy about it.

"Hey Doc, what's up?" Breakdown asked his best friend.

"Megatron is sending me out on a mission in some desert. You know how I hate to get dirty." Knockout groaned.

"I know. I'll buff you when you get back." Breakdown said.

"No need. I'll just take a shower." Knockout said as he grabbed a scanner before leaving the med bay. 

Megatron waited patiently for Knockout to get to the bridge. Knockout slowly made his way there, making sure to take his time. When he finally got to the bridge he made himself known.

"Knockout, make sure that you get the relic." Megatron said as Soundwave opened a groundbridge.

"Yes, Lord Megatron. I will try my best." Knockout said before he walked through the groundbridge. 

Soundwave rolled his optics behind his visor, knowing that Knockout would fail. But he knew that Megatron wouldn't hurt their only CMO. As Knockout stepped out of the groundbridge he felt some sand get into the transformation seams. 

"Fragging sand! Fragging desert! How do humans live in places like this?!" Knockout asked himself. He stopped as soon as he saw an Autobot go through a groundbridge.

As Moonracer walked through the groundbridge she saw that everyone was back from wherever they were. Everyone looked at her and the pod when the groundbridge closed. Optimus stepped forward, wanting to know how Moonracer was doing.

"I got the relic." Moonracer said happily, giving Optimus the pod. 

"Did you encounter any Decepticons?" Optimus asked her.

"Nope, there weren't any Decepticons in sight." Moonracer said proudly.

"You did good for your first solo mission, Moonracer." Optimus said, smiling at her.

"Thank you Sir, I'm glad that I could go. But if you don't mind, I need a shower." Moonracer said before she went to the washracks. 

As Moonracer walked down the hallway Optimus took the relic to Ratchet so that they could figure out what it did. Meanwhile, Moonracer was relaxing in the shower.
