Predacon Outcast

Chapter 51.

"She's waking up!" I say.

The Queen shifted again and started to sit up slowly in her bed. She turned her large head towards Ratchet and Lockshift, then looked to see the rest of us. Zexal started hissing to her while she hissed back. He took her hands into his and chittered, but Xeno only smirked and made clicking noises.

Oh thank Primus she's awake!! I really wanted to hug her, but since she's really hurt I won't. I hugged Optimus out of sheer happiness instead, he pat my back gently as she then looked toward us bots.

"Anyone care to tell me how we got here?" She asks.

"It appears that the space bridge portal had coordinates set to your home world, you have been unconscious for a number of days." Ratchet says.

She sighed and shook her head.

"Then that means we got a big problem. If you all are here, then that means the cons are too. I'm such a failure..."

Dai went and stood next to Zexal, a serious look on his face.

"Xeno, you are NOT a failure. Look at everything you've done in your life. You defeated your greatest enemy, have killed many dangerous creatures, you even sacrificed yourself to save Optimus and that's nowhere near the half of it." He said.

"But I failed to stop Megatron and keep them off this world." She argued.

Optimus stepped forward.

"My friend, do not be so hard on yourself. There is only so much one individual such as yourself can do, stopping an entire army for example."

Xeno looked towards Zexal who only nods his head, she sighed and looked down.

"Prime-"

"No, do not be so hard on yourself."

"That's not even what I was gonna say, I was going to ask where my ship was." She says.

"It is enroute to this planet, it should hopefully be here soon." Ratchet said.

I walked towards the Queen in her bed, she looked at me with a head tilt. Before she could say anything, I hugged her very carefully above her stab wound. She didn't hug me back because she might not know how to react, but that's okay.

"Miss Xeno, thank you..." I say.

"For what?" She asks.

"For freeing me, for coming to my rescue, and saving my papa..."

I think she smiled as she THEN hugged me back, hissing a little in pain.

"Anytime, Kid..."

I pulled back and let her go, stepping away from her bed. Dai did the same and stood next to Optimus and me. The Queen moved the blanket away and swung her legs over the side of the bed, grunting in pain as her clawed feet touching the floor. But Ratchet was quick to put his servo on her shoulder and start pushing her back down.

"Ep ep ep, you're not going anywhere. You're still healing, you need to rest." He said.

Xeno gave a displeased expression.

"Ratchet, my kind isn't exactly the type who lay in bed for weeks on end when injured. The ONLY time I was in bed for weeks was after my first real battle when I was 6 months old, I was DYING and yet I defeated the beast I was facing. Was unconscious in bed for 2 weeks, but when I woke up I just left my room."

Wait, what?? She was literally DYING when she was fighting a monster and still won, AT 6 MONTHS OLD??? What the heck?! Why was she fighting something at only 6 months old?! That's stupid!!! And crazy!!!
