Predacon Outcast

Chapter 34.

*   *   *   *

I watched as Lockdowns, or should I say Xenos men were loading up energon crates. I can't believe I'm finally going home!! It's been too long since I've been back on Cybertron. I can't wait to see everyone again! My smile wouldn't go away because I was just way too happy, too happy and excited to see my friends and family again.

I could see Queen Xeno standing not too far away watching the guards load the energon, her steeljaw sitting beside her with its tongue out. I then saw her "boyfriend" Zexal come up to her and start hissing, she turned her head and hissed back. He then took her hand and slowly pulled her away, they were starting to speak in their native tongue. Hissing. Hissing and growling. Hm, I wonder if that's how Predacons communicated back then.

Then the 2 Xenomorphs kissed, and I gagged. Ew! Gross! Yuck! I had seen Autobots back home do that, but now I knew what it meant. I gagged and watched the King pull back and the guards were finished loading up. Xeno waved her hand and signalled it was time to go, yes!!! She hissed one more thing and walked towards the ship. Scout and me followed her up the ramp into the vessel, all giddy and happy as it hissed closed behind us.

We headed to the cockpit and saw 2 of the guards already at their control panels and ready to leave. Queen Xeno stared at Lockdown's weird throne thing and circled around it, looking it over carefully. It honestly looked the right size for her, she was around Lockdown's height to be fair. She then took a seat upon it, her long tail hanging over the edge of it. I saw her tense but quickly mellow out, then Scout jumped up into her lap and laid on her.

"Alright boys, you know what to do. Set course for Cybertron." She ordered.

The guards nod and start pushing buttons on the controls, I could hear the engines fire up and the ship started going up. I sat down next to the throne and watched as her city got smaller and smaller, the vessel turning away from it and aiming for the sky. It suddenly took off at a rapid speed and the sky turned black almost immediately, we were now in space. It was even more beautiful with this view, my optics widen as the ship passed by 2 large moons and saw a white star in the distance.

"Wow..." I said.

"Amazing, isn't it?" Queen Xeno asked me.

I nod with a smile.

"Oh kid, you haven't seen anything yet. I've seen so many different planets that I think someone like you would enjoy."

My ears perked, "You have? Like what?"

"Well, I've seen planets made almost entirely of water, volcanic planets, and even planets with everything in between. But to be completely honest, I think Cybertron takes top spot."

I look at her.

"Why?" I ask.

"Because, I hadn't seen a planet made entirely of metal OR large robotic organisms until I was 5 years old. I'm 20 now."

Wow....I turned back and stared out the window.

A few hours went by and the guards said we'd be on Cybertron in a half hour. Hooray!! We're almost home!! I'm so happy I feel like I could explode. I can't wait to see everyone and give them a big hug.

Queen Xeno had gotten up and left the room not long after the guards told us so she could stretch her legs, her dog had been laying in her lap asleep most the time. But right now I was petting him and he was licking my face, giggling as his slimy tongue hit my faceplates. Dogs are funny and kinda gross, but Scout is so cute! Although I think I like kitties more, they like to snuggle too.
