I ended up having to find all of Ratchet's tools, this was a challenge as I had forgotten where we hid them. But I knew at least one of them was in Smokescreen. "Cough up." I commanded him.

"Huh?"

"The tool we hid in you." I explained.

"Why should I give it to you." He said stubbornly, oh so is that's how is going to be. I lunged at him and forced him to the floor, "hey-"

I forced his chassis open- nothing harmful- and took out the tool. "Now that wasn't to hard-" I stopped as I spotted something else. I took that out too. It looked like a key... Thing.

"What's that?" He asked.

"You tell me." I asked. "I'm gonna show Optimus."

"Hey, its mine I should show him!" He complained and made to reach it. I pulled it away and he frowned, "give it back."

"You have to catch me first." I laughed and started running to the main room, he followed close behind. Just as I entered he jumped on my back in hopes to stop me. I threw myself onto my back, squishing him between the floor and I. I got up but he stayed.

"You good?" I asked.

"Just peachy." He wheezed, I winded him. I waved the key thing in-front of his faceplates playfully and made my way to Op. Ratchet and him where both glaring daggers at me.

"He started it." I blamed Smokescreen, as always. "I found this." I said and held out the thing for them to examine. "Do you now what it is?" I asked.

"No, but I will examine it, where did you find it?" Ratchet asked.

"In Smokescreen." They looked at me weirdly. "You know, in his chassis, next to this tool." I held up the tool for Ratchet to take, he did so.

"I need to find a better hiding spot." I heard him mutter.

Smokescreen got up and begun to pout before he stormed off. I guess I'll go back to finding Ratchets tools.

It took a while, but I found them. Well, almost, I'm not retrieving his wrenches, nor is anyone else as they can't fly.

I dumped the tools on table next to Ratchet, "happy?"

"Yes, yes, fine." He humbled before getting back to work. We were the only ones here, the others went to check out a Decepticon minding operation. I was simply waiting for them to return.

However, that time was now. "Ratchet we need a bridge." Came the gruff voice of Optimus.

Ratchet got to work and opened a bridge, the Autobots came through, some carrying energon.

"That's all?" Ratchet asked.

"'Cons got the drop on us, there where too many." Bulkhead sighed.

"And that purple femme can fight." Arcee growled.

I chuckled at their irritation and went over to Optimus. I tapped his shoulder to get his attention. He turned, "can I go out for a flight?" I asked.

Optimus thought for a moment but nodded, "do not go to far." He warned.

"Ok." I said loyally.

I headed us the elevator and took off once more. I may of gone a little further than what Op wanted, but hey, it never hurt no one. I flew over the clouds, my vision restricted by the thick cloud for a moment. This caused me to almost crash into another plane. It pulled out just in time.

It looked alot like Starscream.

"My lord! My apologies." He gulped as he circled back around to fly beside me.

"No worries." I said in amusement.

Starscream spluttered, "you're not Megatron are you?"

"It is: Lord Megatron." I growled, he let out a frightened shriek. "But yes, it's his twin." I said, the seeker calmed slightly.

"Wait, how did you get away?" He asked.

"I asked." Starscream spluttered and I chuckled, "how's Megs doing?" I asked.

Starscream stayed silent, clearly debating is he would tell me what he thinks or what will get him in less trouble. "Fine." He grumbled.

"Oh really?"

"He's a pain in the aft." He snarled.

"You've been getting beatings then?" I asked as we continued to fly with no direction in mind. I got no response, until...

"You're lucky you don't get beatings." I barely heard him mutter.

"I've had my share."

We stayed quiet for a while, I was honestly surprised I hadn't rudely insulted him yet. "Oh before I forget." I begun getting Starscream's attention. "Who's the new arrival?"

"Swiftkill, she's a rotten slag." He grumbled.

"You think anyone's a rotten slag." I stated and I think he silently agreed.

"You can meet her yourself, come." He ordered, I hesitated but tagged along. I haven't seen them for a while so I might as well. We flew off, and soon the large gloomy warship came into view.

"I have alerted Lord Megatron." Star added as we nearer, a grey figure came into view and I distinguished it as my twin. We landed.

"Meg's, good to a see you!" I said as a hugged him, he stiffened slightly.

"I'll leave you to it." Star muttered before he left to go who knows where.

"How did you get away?" He asked after I let go.

"Flew out."

He nodded slowly but decided not to ask me for details, he knew he wasn't going to get them.

"Do you know where their base is?" He asked.

"No, didn't get the chance." I said truthfully, they were careful not say anything of their location. Megs frowned, irritated but didn't growl at me.

"You in a bad mood?" I asked.

"Better than before." He said and looked at me. "Come, we have mush to discuss."

Bonus...

Optimus felt betrayed, Quillux had not returned for hours and his signal was untraceable. So he came to the conclusion he was on the Nemesis.

Arcee was pissed, followed with the "I told you so."

"He's gone to rat us out." Smokescreen mumbled and Bee nodded sadly.

Optimus knew he wouldn't but couldn't help but feel worried.
