Predacon Outcast

Chapter 30.

*    *    *    *

I didn't have to go back to my room, thank goodness. I kept quiet and followed Lockdown around because ANYTHING was better than being back in that room all by myself. If I had my plushies I wouldn't be so bored or lonely, but nooo! Life hates me!

Right now I just sit on the floor leaning against his big throne. I hate being near him so much, but I can't go back to being alone in my room. Besides, I'm gonna be free of this ship when he goes to see this "friend" of his. Anyone who is friends with him is either really brave or really stupid, or both. Hopefully they don't look at me the same way the connies do.

Suddenly I felt a hand touch the top of my head. I yelped and scooted away with a hiss, seeing it was none other than the grey bot himself. He gave me a strange look as I bared my teeth and growled.

"Don't pet me! Don't ever pet me!" I cried.

"You ARE my pet, or did you forget that?" He said.

My ears drooped and I whimpered.

"I'm sorry..." I said.

He gestured me to come back, I did so even though I really didn't want to. He started petting my head again and I hated every second of it. This happened for a while until we saw a giant silver ship in the distance, my ears perked and I tilted my head.

"Oooh what's that?" I ask.

"Our destination."

Lockdown stood up and walked towards the big window, I stayed put. With how big that ship is, I could easily get lost. Wait, easily get LOST. And AWAY from Lockdown! This could be my chance to get away from him! I stood up from the floor and watched as the giant silver ship got closer, seeing other smaller ships go into it. Huh, weird.

"Alright, I suggest you come with me Springlock." He said.

"Okay."

The grey bot walked out and I followed him, we were headed for the exit when a giant animal approached us. It looked like a mixture of an organic furry creature and Cybertronian. I yelped and hid behind Lockdown as protection, to which he gave me a funny look.

"What, haven't you ever seen a Steeljaw before?" He asks.

I look up at him and shake my head.

"Uhhh, no. The only animal I've seen is a kitty and bird drone."

"Let me guess, both belonging to Soundwave."

I nod.

"Ravage and Laserbeak, typical. But no, this is another of my pets. Just in case you're getting any ideas inside that little processor of yours."

Dang it, he's onto me. The "Steeljaw" stared at me with a low growl as we walked to the exit, walking down the ramp. The ramp went down into a giant silver space where other smaller ships were, along with many smaller organic creatures. My optics widen at the sight of how small they were, and some of them were kinda cute they were so small.

"Whoa...they're so small." I said.

"That they are, come along."

The Steeljaw nudged me to follow, so I did. I was trying to not step on anyone or anything because they were so small, Lockdown just didn't seem to care. He didn't step on any of them luckily, but several of the organic creatures quickly got out of his way. I watched the grey bot and his other pet just walk ahead without even looking, talk about RUDE! I was trying to be nice and not step on anyone AND I apologized if I came near to stepping on them!

Apparently I was too far behind because the Steeljaw came back and nudged me forward faster, I whined and walked faster until we entered a HUGE silver room. My eyes widen again and I look around in wonder, even as the dog was pushing me. More small organic creatures were roaming around, but just ahead there was another Cybertronian. Or at least I think he was. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he is. He also had another Cybertronian next to him, on their knees and arms behind their back. My ears drooped at the sight of the other Cybertronian, they looked up and saw me with wide optics.
