Chapter 7
Ok, so in this chapter Cliffjumper makes an appearance and I will be playing him, so yeah. Enjoy!
----- Optimus's vision -----
Optimus and his team had just finished building the ARK and were about to get on it when he heard two little beeping sounds.
"Baap... Baaaap..." One called.
"Beeeep... Beeeep..." Another one called, this one higher in pitch than the other. He turned and looked for what was making the noises. Optimus soon saw two protoforms, abandoned, left for scrap/death and the last of their generation. He scooped them up and took them onto the ARK with him and his team. One looked older than the other. The youngest was beeping happily and loudly while the older held onto the younger, beeping protectively then it began to beep happily after a while. Optimus smiled gently at the two and got onto the ARK and his team soon followed. Optimus let Ratchet look at the protoforms to see how their health was. Ratchet was then put in charge of watching over the protoforms since he was the only medical expert on the ship.
"Optimus, where did you find them?" Asked a red bot with bull like horns. He was Cliffjumper. Optimus looked to Cliffjumper before answering.
"They both were in a pile of rubble near the ARK, so I took them in." Optimus said answering the question. Cliffjumper nodded and went to the smaller of the two and giggled.
"Daw, look at this one. She's got my finger." He chuckled and began to mess with the little protoform. Ratchet pushed him away.
"Cliffjumper, you should know not to mess with protoforms until they are fully developed. You might hurt her if you're not careful." Ratchet growled and Bulkhead chuckled.
"You attached to them already, Ratchet?"
"No, it's just, they are the last of their generation. Which means they could very well be the last of our kind because all the other protoforms were killed in the war, remember." Everyone blinked then looked down.
"We must keep these two safe, they hold the key to great potential in the future for the better." Optimus said looking at the other autobots that were standing with him. Bumblebee nodded his head in agreement.
"Guy's I think we are almost there." Cliffjumper called happily and Ratchet smiled then grabbed the two protoforms and held the metal cradle-like baskets they were in when Optimus found them as tight as he could. But that was when disaster struck. The ARK shook violently as a blast hit the side of the it and left a big hole in the where the blast hit. The ARK shook again and Ratchet fell over, losing his grip on the two protoforms. The ARK shifted greatly and the protoforms began to slide towards the hole in the ARK. Both beeping in distress loudly as the autobots tried to grab them. Ratchet lunged to try once more but was just one second too late as they fell to earth, their beeping echoing until they were a ways down.
"No..." Bulkhead gulped with wide eyes and everyone rushed to look out the window and watched the two protoforms plummet down to earth, since they were close enough that the gravity of the big blue and green planet was pulling the two in. Optimus frowned as they officially lost the very last two protoforms. They thought the two were gonners. Once they landed they searched for days in case the two protoforms were somehow safe, but they gave up thinking they had burned to death.
But what they did not know was that the youngest activated some sort of barrier to protect them from being burned alive. They then landed safely in the forest outside of Jasper Nevada where a man, his wife and their albino cat were hiking. They saw the two and the woman tapped the youngest one in unison to her cat while the man tapped the other. They were all immediately knocked out for a few moments due to a strange dizziness they got after tapping the protoforms. When they came too, two babies were in front of them. The woman named the youngest while her husband named the oldest. One was to grow up to be Kaiser, and the other Kari. They took the two infants to the orphanage they ran together and raised them there until fate caught up with them.
---- End of Optimus' vision ----
Optimus woke up from his slumber due to his vision. "So... They really did make it out alive... I'm glad they're alive, the eldest was so protective of Kari... She has every right to be angry." Optimus thought to himself about his connection to all the current events with saving Kari and helping her figure out her abilities. Optimus decided he'd get up and try to continue his search for Megatron's hideout so they could try to get Kaiser back.
That was when a peep, sounding similar to the one from Optimus's vision from the younger protoform, sounded from outside Optimus's room door. It was Kari, holding Chase close in her right arm and a blanket in her left hand while still in her pajamas. She stood there peering in from the side the door.
"Optimus..." She gulped sadly. Optimus looked down and knelt to her level.
"What is wrong Kari?" Optimus asked the sleepy girl.
"I had a nightmare..." Kari frowned and stepped out from behind part of the wall. "May I sleep in here tonight?" She asked with a yawn. Optimus held his hand out to Kari so she could get on.
"Of course Kari." Optimus said figuring he could stay and watch over Kari as she slept.
"Thank you." Kari smiled and climbed onto Optimus's hand. "It was really weird. I was falling down to earth from space, I wasn't alone, getting really hot and everything was super weird. Then---" Kari let out a yawn. "Then I was in a forest and felt something touch me... And then... I was at... The orphanage with..." Kari let out another yawn as her eyes began to close. "Kaiser... Then it showed what happened yesterday... And then... I woke up..." Kari had her eyes like narrow slits at this point. "What do you think it means..?" She asked tiredly with another yawn, holding Chase close. Optimus sat down and put Kari down gently by him.
"I'm not sure young one, time will only tell." Optimus said patting her messy hair gently with a smile.
"...Kay..." Kari was soon asleep and slowly curled up with the blanket over her and Chase in her arms. Optimus smiled gently over to Kari watching her sleep peacefully with her stuffed animal. "Welcome back home Kari... It's good to know you both didn't burn alive." Optimus thought and after a while of watching her Optimus fell back to sleep as well.
---- Decepticon's Ship ----
Kaiser woke up from a dream and panting. "Wh-what was that?" Kaiser asked herself as she calmed herself down. She felt like she was falling from space and she wasn't alone and it felt hot, but her skin wasn't being burned and crashed into the ground and after that she woke up.
"W-what does this all mean?" Kaiser questioned herself trying to find her own answer within her own brain. That was when she felt like something clicked and noticed her arms changing from a light skin tone to metal. Kaiser was internally freaking out as her whole body changed from her normal look. Where her head had hair there was a back piece that was black with lavender lighting that can be seen through the small gaps that look like lines as her eyes glowed blue. Her metal looked gray where her skin would be, as her neck/chest to her abdomen except her sides were black and on the back of her neck was a purple skull and cross knives. Where her pants would be her legs were black also with linings that were lavender and her feet had small wheels in the back looking almost like a black heeled shoe. (Kat: The pic with this story was used as a reference, so it is not exact. All rights are reserved to whoever drew it. Thank you.)
"O-okay Kaiser, stay calm everything is alright this-this is just my eyes playing with ---" Kaiser talked to herself as her arms were almost flailing until black blades appeared on the tops of her hands. This is when she knew it was time to freak out.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Kaiser screamed loudly now just losing it. Knockout rushed in upon hearing Kaiser scream, since Starscream was away at the moment.
"Kaiser what's--- Oh dear Primus!!" Knockout gasped. "K-Kaiser?!" Kaiser looked over to Knockout and walked over to him.
"Yes! What the heck is going on?! I-I woke up from a dream and-and then this happened all of a sudden!" Kaiser said panicking holding the top of her head. Knockout hummed.
"Are you in any pain, physically?" He asked, wanting to know. If she was than he would need to check her out. Knockout was trying to keep his cool since Kaiser was freaking out. He thought about waking Megatron to see this but did not want to unless it was ABSOLUTELY necessary.
"N-no it doesn't hurt, i-it's like another skin. Knockout what's going on, I'm scared." Kaiser said looking at him scared as the black mist appeared again but scattered around her. Knockout sighed and picked Kaiser up and put her on his shoulder.
"Lets go tell Megatron. He might still be awake. Let's hope so because I do not want to wake him from his slumber..." Knockout then looked for Megatron with Kaiser on his shoulder. When he found Megatron he was still awake. "Lord Megatron, you need to see this..." Knockout put Kaiser in his palm and he held her out for him to see. Megatron walked over and looked the robot over.
"This is one of your new machine prototypes Knockout?" Megatron asked with a raised eyebrow. Kaiser stomped her foot down.
"No Megatron it's me Kaiser!" Kaiser shouted as Megatron eyes widened. Megatron looked at the girl closely.
"How did this happen?" Megatron asked Kaiser looking at her. Kaiser took a deep breath before talking.
"I had a dream th-that I was falling from space and I wasn't alone and it was hot, but it wasn't burning my skin and then next thing I know I crashed into the ground then woke up then soon after I-I turned into this!" Kaiser explained being a little bit calmer, but still kinda scared of what's happened to her. Megatron looked over to Knockout after hearing Kaiser's explanation. Knockout shrugged.
"I'm guessing she is half human half cybertronian, by the looks of it. Some how when she was a protoform, if she was ever a protoform to begin with, she must have arrived here and obtained human DNA..." Knockout stated. Megatron then made the connection, Kaiser must of been one of the two protoforms he saw falling to earth That day, but he thought from the sheer force and the atmosphere would of burned them alive. Guess he was wrong.
"W-when me and Kari were found by the people who ran the orphanage, I was picked up by Mr. Smith as Kari was with his wife and their albino cat...wait Cybertronian what?" Kaiser was saying then looked at Knockout confused.
"Well, you already know our species and home planet. So that's out of the way. But you, Kaiser, are half human half cybertronian, from the looks of it." Knockout shrugged, trying his best to explain, looking to Megatron to see if he could explain better. Megatron looked at Knockout and then to Kaiser.
"You and another were the last of your generation of protoforms because the war wiped out the rest of them. You, my child, somehow survived the fall from space to earth. However originally it was believe that you and the other one were lost until now." Megatron explained a bit more in detail. Kaiser nodded her head getting a full grip of herself.
"S-so how do I change back?" Kaiser asked not used to this new form as she looked at the two. Knockout blinked.
"Well, what I do when going from this to vehicle mode then back is just think about it and it happens. Well, that's what I did at first. Now it happens naturally. Think of your human form and try your best." Knockout stated, trying to be as helpful as possible even though he knew so little on techno organics. Kaiser closed her eyes and focused on being human, she steadied her breathing and began focusing. Soon enough all the metal started to move and change back into her human form, fully clothed.
"It-it worked! Knockout you're a genius!" Kaiser looked at her normal self then turned to look up at Knockout with a smile. Megatron chuckled as he went to go sit.
"You're both dismissed now." Megatron waved his hand to excuse the two. Knockout smiled at Kaiser kindly as he left. He then put her down in her cage so she could go back to sleep.
"You need anything?" He asked her in a soft tone, seeing Kaiser was tired. Kaiser shook her head.
"Not that I can think of...But maybe you can stick around till I fall asleep?" Kaiser asked as she went over to where she lays down as she held Snowflake to her. She curled up on the floor of the cage facing Knockout who was still there.
"Sure." Knockout smiled and sat down by Kaiser's cage, making sure she was asleep before leaving to work on some things then go to bed himself.
----- Autobots HQ A few weeks later in the afternoon ----
Optimus was monitoring the computers keeping an eye on any signals going off while everyone was in the main room hanging out like every other day. Bumblebee, Arcee, Bulkhead, Kari, and even Ratchet were in the main room listening to Kari practice on her guitar. Kari let out a giggle as she finished, everyone clapped.
"Aw, thanks guys." Kari blushed out of embarrassment and she gave a small smile.
"That Nate guy teaches you well. Has he seen your hair and eye color?" Bulkhead asked and Kari shook her head.
"No, not yet. Maybe next time we practice though." Kari smiled and then went with Bulkhead to practice her abilities. She was shifting into different animals, her clothing had fallen off of her since she had not been able to make it fuse with her form. She also had her hair color, eye color and symbols rather than the animal's natural color. When she was done She got her in to her clothing while in the form of a fox and shifted to her normal self. Kari decided to take off her gloves, ninja head band, hoodie, cap and goggles as well as her shoes and wrapping around her feet because she wanted to and no other reason.
Bumblebee smiled as he watched Kari practice with her abilities. Everyone here has grown really fond and close to Kari over the weeks that Kari has been with them. Arcee thought of Kari as a little sister so she was always making sure the guys weren't always bothering Kari. Kari then straightened her clothing and smiled.
"Good job!" Bulkhead smiled and gave Kari a sort of high five. He let her hit his hand so he did not hurt her. Bumblebee clapped when Kari finished with her ability practice along with everyone else who was watching.
"You've gotten so good at using your abilities. You're just about a pro at it!" Bumblebee said happily praising Kari for all of her hard work. Arcee smiled impressed with how hard Kari has been working towards getting stronger. Kari giggled and bowed.
"Though I still have a problem..." Kari's stomach growled. "I'm always hungry after practice and I can't use my abilities when I'm hungry. It's like I have no energy." Kari frowned and Bulkhead a paper bag.
"McDonald's anyone?" He asked and Kari jumped up and grabbed the bag, eating happily. Bumblebee and Arcee watched Kari eat her food happily. While everyone was enjoying themselves Optimus walked into the main room as he looked at everyone. After Optimus entered the room everyone turned to him to see what he was going to say.
"I'm sorry to break up the moment, but there are sensors that detect decepticons in a canyon near by. It appears to be Jasper Canyon." Optimus said to them as Bumblebee and Arcee got up with the others, Kari included.
"Alright, let's go!" Kari called as she finished her food and began walking to the ground bridge. Arcee followed as she turned into a motorcycle.
"Yeah, lets go and get this over with already." Arcee said as Bumblebee and the others followed Kari. Optimus stood by the ground bridge and looked at Kari.
"Kari you must promise me one thing no matter what." Optimus said being serious now.
"Wassat?" Kari asked as she looked up at Optimus with a small, adorable smile.
"If it gets really bad, I want you to warp out of there and come back here." Optimus said looking at her.
"... But... I..." Kari pouted as she puffed her cheeks out slightly
"No if's and's or but's Kari. We're letting you come, so it'd make me feel better knowing you're safe." Optimus said.
"... Fine... I promise if it gets too rough I'll warp back home..." Kari sighed sadly. Optimus lightly patted her head before turning into his vehicle. "I'm not happy about this... You know that right?" Kari asked while getting into the passenger side of Optimus.
"I know, but I'm only looking to keeping you safe from Megatron. I know you are strong, but I do not want him getting his hands on you." Optimus said as he drove into the ground bridge.
"Yeah, I know. The dude's creepy..." Kari shivered. "You also have nothing to worry about I'll never ever cooperate with the decepticons! Never ever!" Kari smiled as she and Optimus warped, everyone else close behind, even Ratchet. Soon enough everyone appeared at Jasper canyon as the ground bridge disappeared. Arcee and Bumblebee were the first two to change into their robot forms with their guns ready. Bulkhead and Ratchet next and Kari jumped out of Optimus happily and watched him transform. "So, what's the deal?" Kari called twitching her nose slightly as she sniffed the air. Optimus was looking around like everyone else to make sure to keep their guard up.
"They're somewhere around here." Optimus said having his gun ready to fire. It was quiet around them while they looked for the decepticons to show up. Kari then stomped on the ground, her eyes closed as she focused.
"I think they are--" Kari pointed her right hand to a cave. "There. Let's see. One, two... Four, I see four in there. One of them is Kaiser judging by height and one I'd bet is Megatron. The other two I'm unsure about." Kari called out with a huff, opening her eyes and holding her head with her right hand. "Man, that one always makes me feel like I have a brain freeze or something for a moment after." Kari sighed and looked at everyone then got ready.
Everyone headed into the cave being precautious about where they walked. Heading deeper into the cave they found an opening and everyone filled in one by one. Bumblebee kept his eyes out for anyone, but also making sure to keep an eye on Kari to make sure she was safe.
"What are they trying to pull, we know they're here." Arcee said as she looked around.
"... Guys..." Kari called with a gulp. "They have us surrounded." Kari then looked around towards where Megatron was standing and pointed. "Megatron." Then Kaiser. "Kaiser." She then pointed out the last two and then held her head again. "Really need to work on this aftermath thing..." She grumbled. Bulkhead looked towards one of the unknown thinks Kari was seeing and pointed his gun. In the shadows a low growl of a creature could be heard as it lunged itself at Bulkhead starting to attack. Kari bubbled Bulkhead in a barrier to help him. Kaiser looked to the group as she stood in between Megatron and Starscream. Optimus started to shoot the creature as it tried to break the barrier down.
"It's so nice of you to come and say hello autobots." Megatron greeted with a smirk. Kari growled at him and gritted her teeth.
"You! What are you up to?!" She called, her focus shifting but she stomped on the ground, causing a spiked pillar to impale the creature, killing it instantly. The creature turned into black mist after it was impaled by the pillar.
"Deeper in this cave I have a bunch of my grunts harvesting a bunch of Energon that we were able to find here." Megatron said crossing his arms watching the group before him. Optimus pointed his gun at Megatron.
"We will not let you leave with that Energon, Megatron." Optimus said furiously. Kaiser looked over to Starscream to see if she should step in now or hold back a second. Starscream looked to Megatron and gave the same look. Megatron looked to him and nodded his head giving the okay. Bumblebee, Arcee, Kari, Ratchet, Bulkhead, and even Optimus were confused at the sudden quietness from the decepticons as Starscream, Kaiser, and Megatron were exchanging glances at one another, but for what reason. Starscream looked back down to Kaiser and gave her a nod of approval. Kaiser nodded her head in understandment as she looked at the autobots with a smirk.
"You all are going to be in for a treat." Kaiser said as her symbol began to glow its ominous black mist around her neck area. Kari blinked and stared in awe. Optimus and the other autobots looked at Kaiser confused at what she meant by "treat". All of a sudden Kaiser's body started to change into her robot form as she smirked. Bulkhead and Ratchet stared and Kari looked up to Optimus.
"What just happened?" She asked with a gulp. Optimus' eyes widened at Kaiser's alternative form, so it confirms that Kaiser was the other protoform that fell with Kari from space, but how would he explain it to Kari without telling her everything.
"It looks they were able to some how made it so Kaiser is half organic matter, which enables her to turn into another form." Optimus said looking at Kari not telling her the full truth since Kaiser and Kari are containing both human DNA and organic matter.
"I'm getting tired of watching you all just standing around." Kaiser said as blades came out of the tops of her hands and went straight for Bulkhead first.
"Bulkhead look out!" Bumblebee shouted not wanting to shoot the kid since it was Kari's friend still.
"I've got this!" Kari called as she intercepted Kaiser's attack with her scarf ends in the forms of blades. Kaiser let out a small growl as she was able to parry the block.
"Kari get out of my way!" Kaiser shouted.
"No!" Kari growled and stomped on the floor causing two swords made of pure earth to arise. She stood between Kaiser and Bulkhead with an angry frown. "You wanna attack them, you gotta get through me, now come on!" Kari took a stance and got ready. Kaiser shook her head sighed in slight annoyance and a hint of sadness.
"You're really asking for it, you leave me no other choice but to hurt you." Kaiser said as her symbol glowed more intense as the scenery changed from the cave to the orphanage for only Kari to see. "Brings back memories huh?" Kaiser said looking at Kari.
"Don't try and trick me." Kari frowned and closed her eyes, not seeing the orphanage. "I know we are still in the cave." She huffed, her symbols now glowing brightly. Kaiser laughed as she created people that looked like Kari's bullies.
"Did you ever think about what was to happen if I never came to save you every single time you needed me?" Kaiser said walking, circling Kari as she talked.
"I'm not listening! They are just your dumb illusions!" Kari snapped and lunged at Kaiser and kicked her in the gut. Kaiser got up and using her wheels came right back and punched her in the face sending her back a bit. Bumblebee ran to attack Kaiser, he wasn't going to stand by watching Kari get hurt.
"Bee no!" Kari growled, glancing over her shoulder at Bumblebee as she regained balance and shook it off. She lunged at Kaiser again but vanished and appeared above Kaiser and clapped her hands. "SONIC BOOM!!" Kari called as a wave of sound rushed down a Kaiser. Kaiser looked up as she was able to roll out of the way of the sound waves came at her then shot several knives rapidly at Kari. Kari dodged the knives, a few scraping her and leaving cuts. Kari then dropped the sword in her left hand and it went back into the earth upon hitting the ground. She put her left palm skyward and a black disk formed. Kari stayed in that position, letting the disk get stronger and spin faster as she hovered in the same spot for a moment. Kaiser then turned herself back to normal.
"What do you plan on doing with that thing Kari? Are you really willing to hurt the one person who's been by your side for years protecting you from everyone who wanted to hurt you... Or is it true that you've finally replaced me?" Kaiser said with a growl but also sounding a bit sad looking at Kari.
"You were willing to do the same! You've changed! YOU AREN'T KAISER!!! You'd never do this! You were going to have your illusions hurt me and if I didn't close my eyes when I did I'd be DEAD now and you know it!!" Kari yelled in anger still holding the disk, holding back to see what Kaiser would do.
"I told YOU to GET OUT OF MY way! But nooo you just wanted to be the hero for once." Kaiser said standing her ground.
"NOW I'M TELLING YOU!!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!! OR I'LL KILL YOU!! LEAVE ME AND THE AUTOBOTS ALONE!!!" Kari snapped in anger. Kaiser stood there looking at her, it's not like it'd actually kill her just hurt a whole lot.
"Don't underestimate my abilities Kaiser." Kari frowned. "That shadow disk could tear you to bits if it hits you." Kari said in a low, serious tone. She crossed her arms and frowned slightly, angry. Kaiser just looked Kari dead in the eyes, even they were still closed. Kaiser was still standing in that same place.
"I dare you." Kaiser said as the autobots, Megatron, Starscream, and whoever else was watching looked at the older one.
"Fine." Kari gritted her teeth and threw the disk with a growl, shaking slightly as she did so. "But you dared me to."
"What does Kaiser think she's doing?" Megatron thought to himself watching as he could slightly tell the gears in her brain at work. Bumblebee watched in worry as Kari was fighting Kaiser. Kaiser stood there waiting for the disk to get closer to her. Arcee and Optimus watched as the disk got closer and closer. Megatron looked to Starscream to see what he thought of what's going on in their new allies' head. Starscream shivered, a little worried about Kaiser, not sure what she was thinking.
"She better get out of the way or else she'll be cut in half!" Starscream thought with a gulp. Kari grumbled, keeping her eyes closed and her head low so her eyes were hidden by the shadows of her bangs. She landed before Kaiser was hit and began to walk to Arcee with a sigh. Right as the disk was inches from Kaiser, she dodged out of the way as it sliced through the hoodie ripping it and cutting Kaiser's side only. After doing a somersault to dodge the disk she landed on one knee as she looked at her lavender hoodie that had a big rip on it. Optimus and the other autobots were shocked to see she dodge it at the last second.
"This was my favorite hoodie too." Kaiser said pouting a bit, but kept it on as it was absorbing blood dying part of the hoodie red. Megatron grinned after watching Kaiser's little stunt.
"Kaiser's trying to get Kari to attack her more so it would take a lot of energy to try and hit Kaiser after every time she dodges.... Such a cunning child." Megatron thought keeping it to himself keeping an eye on the autobots to make sure they don't try to step in. Kari tugged on Arcee as she climbed up.
"I'm done." She whispered. "I can't take this anymore, emotionally..." She gulped and stayed out of the fight. Arcee nodded her head keeping herself out of the fight as well since she had Kari. One of Megatron's grunts came up to him and whispered to him.
"We got all the Eregon we can get sir." The grunt whispered as Megatron sent him off. Bumblebee ran for Starscream as he started to shoot. Kaiser glared as she created a disk of black mist with jagged ridges all around tossing it at Bumblebee as it flew straight for him.
"BEE!!" Kari called out and held out her right hand towards Bumblebee, as if to grab him or stop him. A barrier formed around the bot. Just because she was not fighting does not mean she was unable to support those fighting. Bumblebee got startled as he saw the disk but it disappeared when it hit the barrier then went back to attack Starscream. Bulkhead then joined Bumblebee while Ratchet checked on Kari after she put down the barrier. Optimus ran at Megatron as they both started to shoot at each other. Kaiser created the same creature as that time in the forest as it looked down to its master.
"Grim rip em' up." Kaiser said pointing to Bulkhead giving Starscream a fighting chance. Grim ran for the green autobot slamming the robot with its tail into the cave's wall. Arcee watched everyone fight as she looked to Kari.
"I'm sorry things are this way sweetie." Arcee said comforting Kari knowing it still bothered her to have to fight her childhood friend. Kari shivered and looked at Optimus then Bulkhead. Her emotions began to spiral out of control. Her symbols began to flash different colors quickly. First silver, then ecstatic yellow, icy blue, flaming red, dark purple, and grass green then restarting back at silver. She held onto herself to calm down but it wasn't working.
"Make it stop! Stop it, stop it!" Kari whined. Arcee was getting worried as she shouted to Optimus.
"Optimus we gotta go! Kari isn't looking so good!" Arcee shouted as Optimus looked back to see Kari's symbols glowing different colors. Bumblebee saw as well as he shot Starscream away then ran over to Kari worried. Kaiser looked over as she frowned a bit as she held her right side that was bleeding still.
"Next time we will stop you Megatron." Optimus said as he blasted Megatron back a bit so he could get over the the group. "Ratchet ground bridge us back now." Optimus ordered. Ratchet nodded and pressed a few buttons on his wrist then a portal leading through the ground bridgeand back home. Once they were back Bumblebee took Kari gently from Arcee.
"Shh Kari, it's alright we're home now. No more fighting today, everything's alright." Bumblebee said gently.
"K-kay..." Kari shivered and began to calm down slowly. Ratchet then came over and checked on Kari's health and sighed.
"She's all good." He said to everyone else. Bulkhead smiled happily at the news that Kari was fine, He got worried for a moment. Arcee sighed with relief that Kari was better now.
"That no good Kaiser, how could someone like her be friends with someone as sweet as Kari... Yet again Kari was the one who always stuck with her in the past..." Arcee thought to herself as she watched Bumblebee hold Kari comforting her. Kari frowned and looked away. She warped herself onto a support beam above everyone, hugging her knees and burying her face in her arms. She wanted to be alone. Bumblebee frowned as he let Kari have her space as everyone went to do their own thing till Kari had her time to pull herself together.
----- Decepticon's ship -----
Megatron, Starscream, and Kaiser returned back to the ship after the fight with the autobots. Kaiser jumped out of Starscream so he could change back as Megatron was already back to his robot form. Kaiser was silent as she started to head in the direction to Knockout's lab to get the first aid kit to patch herself up feeling a bit down. Knockout saw Kaiser's wounds and nearly fell. He frowned.
"What happened?" He asked, getting the first aid kit to patch her up. Kaiser got up to the table and took off the ripped up lavender hoodie now just in the fishnet top which showed her black bra and the wounds on her body.
"Kari got in my way when I attacked the autobots so I ended up having to fight her..." Kaiser said simply as she felt her heart strings being plucked at making her feel a bit sad, but not showing in on the outside. Knockout frowned and began to patch Kaiser's wound.
"I'm sorry to hear that..." He sighed. Kaiser just nodded her head wincing here and there when Knockout was cleaning up the wounds before wrapping them up.
"I'm sorry too." Kaiser whispered to herself as her bangs covered her eyes. Megatron was walking to his room he passed by seeing Knockout taking care of Kaiser's wounds, but he kept on walking. Soon Knockout was done and he told Kaiser to take it easy to let her wounds heal before letting her leave. Kaiser left the room after thanking Knockout and picking up the old ripped and blood stained hoodie back to her cage as she passed by some grunts on the way. She finally got in her cage and sat on the floor making a her creation but dog sized as it sat by her as she petted it. Starscream soon walked in with some food for Kaiser.
"Hey..." He mumbled as he sat down and gave her the food.
"Hi.." Kaiser said as she took the plate making the illusion disappear into black mist so she could eat. "I hope I was able to help you out back there." Kaiser said before taking a bite of food.
"You were, thanks." Starscream replied. Kaiser nodded her head, at least she able keep someone safe from getting hurt even if it was a little as her mind went back to when that disk was coming for her. Starscream looked at Kaiser and sighed. "You gonna be ok?" He asked.
"I should be... You know, even if I left that disk hit me full on I don't think it would have killed me, maybe I've actually started to think too highly of myself..." Kaiser said putting down the plate with some food left over. Starscream shrugged.
"Well, don't get cocky. You could get killed that way." He sighed and stood up. "I have somethings to do. I won't be long." He said, starting to leave. Kaiser looked up when she heard him walking away.
"W-wait what? He's just saying that, he doesn't actually care if I got killed in battle or not...R-right?" Kaiser thought to herself as she was watching Starscream's back. Starscream stopped at the door.
"Kaiser... Don't do that again... You scared me a little bit." He gulped then left the room. Kaiser's eyes widened from hearing Starscream out of everyone there say he got scared by her actions. She smiled slightly knowing that there is a part of him that cared in a way about her well being.
