Description “And then POW! Shit hits the fan and Skysweeper is knocked on his aft from his own dumbaft.” Skyback shouted and woke me up suddenly.

Ratchet noticed me with a slight grin when he saw me start, “You would do well not
to pick fights with people who are 5 times bigger than you are.” Skyback started to crack up.

“What? Are you two a couple now?” I sarcastically asked.

“What? Are you a glitch?”

“No.”

“No.”

“Shut up, I’m trying to work.” Ratchet said.

“Shut up, I’m trying to have a conversation.” I felt my face plates dent in as I fell off the berth from Ratchet’s wrench.

“Shut up, I can’t hear anything with all your loud BANGING noise.” Ratchet said and turned back to his work.

“Touchy today aren-” Another wrench made me shout and fall back onto my back. “we” I completed my sentence.

Ratchet didn’t respond, but I sure as hell heard Skyback trying not to crack up in fear the next wrench Ratchet throws will be at her. “Skyback, give the sparkling a cube.” Skyback lost it then laughing heartily and falling on the ground leaking lubricants from her eyes. Ratchet glanced down at her then saying, “Now.” Skyback tried to control herself while retrieving the cube from Ratchet but failing miserably as she snorted every two seconds.

I pulled myself up back on the berth and asked, “That funny eh?” And succeeded in making her laugh out loud again.

Ratchet walked out leaving us to ourselves. “Hey Skyback?” I asked once Ratchet was gone.

“What?” She said after composing herself.

“Remember two years ago-”

“Don’t even bring it up you sack of shit.”

“I have one question. One question won’t hurt will it?”

“Yes.”

“Well I’m asking it anyway.”

“Dick.”

“Do you think… we could ever… you know-”

“Get back together?” She cut me off. “If you remember correctly YOU were the one who broke up with me. If you think I’m going to come back to you open armed without a care in the world. Then shove your processor up your tail pipe and rot in pit.” She stormed out the door leaving me alone.

I pondered to myself how I could ever make that big mistake right again. After a while of thinking, there is no way. How much stubbornness that girl has is surmount. I got up and left my troubling thoughts for another time and headed to the Silo.

“You are a fucking dumbass.” Skycrusher muttered to me.

“I know right?”

“You shouldn’t have asked that and you know it Skysweeper.”

“Yeah I know, bu-”

“No buts. Get a life. It’s been years, move the fuck on. Besides, there’s a new prospect remember? Still a total Fanboy of Arcee?” Skycrusher asked me.

I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks, “Ha. Of course not.”

“Liar.”

“Yeah I know.”

“So why don’t you try to spend more time with her? You are like in love with that femme. Yeah I know all about it. You drooling over Arcee’s beauty and personality.” He chuckled at me. “Oh those were good times although I wanted to rip out your tongue most of the time.”

“Shut up.”

“Just advise brother. I know you, can’t live without someone to call your woman. It’s been true since you were 14 you little player. Sucker for good looks. How many girlfriends again?”

“Like 10.”

“Like 20 to 25. Don’t try to cheat on that dummy, I know your game. You’re what, 24 in human years. Now you were in the military from 18 to 22, 4 years. So you didn’t have a chance to get any girlfriends there. That’s easily more than 2 girlfriends a year! I haven’t even have one girl to my name my whole life.”

“Yeah I know. Why don’t you hit up Arcee? You haven’t had one girlfriend your entire life and you are 24 as well as I am. Go for it.”

“You know I hate her guts Skysweeper. I can’t stand her. That’s why you should go.”

“It’s not that easy. Arcee is stubborn, and she doesn’t open up easily. It ain’t gonna be a walk in the park to get her under my wing.”

“And that is really the whole point. You need to learn how to work for a femme every once and a while you man hoe.”

“Harsh words for someone who can kick your aft.”

“You want to test that out?”

“Are you… challenging me?” I cockily said. There ain’t no way in hell he could beat me.

“Yeah I’m challenging you. Right now, training room.” He turned and said, “What are you waiting for pussy? You scared?” I blinked at him. That was the first time anything like that has ever been uttered from his mouth. I almost hesitated for a second, but instead did not respond and I fell in step with him.

“What are you all doing here? It’s not 6:00 yet.” Arcee said to us when we walked in. She held the giant Cybertronian boxing bag in place, as it seems that she has been training with it.

“He challenged me to a fight.” I said to her.

She smirked at me and said, “This will be interesting to watch, two total amatures fighting. Both of you all combined couldn’t take me if I had my arms tied behind my back, blind, and drunk out of my mine.”

“And that is most likely a true statement that I do not wish to test.” I said to her.

“Enough talk. Put them up little pussy, or are you too scared?” Skycrusher taunted me.

“Oh? Very eager aren’t we?” I said to him before raising my fists. He charged abruptly at me knocking me to the ground with a tackle that I didn’t expect to come forth from him. I kicked him off me, rose up dodged a blow to my head and upper-cutted him in the jaw. His upper body leaned far back, and then Skycrusher used his momentum from falling backwards to kick me hard in my chest, making me fall on my aft yet again. I rolled out of the way of a stomp into standing position. We then got in a dance of fists. I blocked a strike or two and unleashed my own upon him. He then stuck my left leg with astounding force so quick I didn’t see his leg move. I fell on that knee as I felt my right leg totally buckle out when he struck it. I hit him straight in the stomach and he recovered quickly. I was already back on my feet totally on the defensive side of things. He unleashed a huge onslaught upon me. It was all I could do to block the blows upon me. He finally landed a blow to my head with his left fist, and then I saw his right hand change into a hammer, and he struck my head as hard as he could. I felt myself being thrown into the air and dropped suddenly on a surface. My optics were totally frizzed out and I couldn’t register a thing with them.

“I think I will call that game. Skycrusher totally kicked your aft Skysweeper. And Skycrusher, good job with the quick thinking of the hammer.”

“I didn’t even know I had it until I figured it out in the heat of battle.” I heard Skycrusher say back to Arcee.

“And by the way you two, you still have to train today, and you have a long way to go before you can even dream of being in the field. You have 5 minutes till your training starts, you might want to rest up.” By this time my optics came back online and she winked at me when she said that last part. I was about to fire a retort before I caught myself. Wouldn’t do no good anyway. I just gave her a slight grin as I groaned when I pushed myself off of the ground.

“Ugh. Remind me not to tick you off again, cause that fragging HURT.”

“I know it did. Your gonna have so much fun in training today. Already hurting?
Ha!” Skycrusher laughed at me.”

“Yeah yeah, I think you planned this from the start fool.”

“Wouldn’t call someone a fool who can kick your aft.”

“Touché.”

“And here they are, already tired from the little fight they had.” Arcee waltzed in with the others. Skyback glared at me when she walked in.

“That wasn’t very smart.” Bulkhead said to us. Bumblebee nodded in agreement.

“Whatever the case, you all must learn how to fight. We need as much fire power as ever now that the Decepticons are back.”

So we shall figure out what weapons you are already outfitted with. I will explain how to transform them and stuff of that nature. Who wants to be first?” Ratchet asked.

Skycrusher immediately raised his hand before I had a chance to even move a muscle.

“All right then,” Ratchet said, “step up and let’s begin.”


I watched from the sidelines as I looked upon Skycrusher looking him down still wondering how he had beat me even with my military training. As ratchet worked with him to figure out what weapons he had on him, I tried to figure mine out. No success. I had no earthly idea how to operate my transformation stuff. I couldn’t hear Ratchet as he was mumbling to Skycrusher, so I couldn’t grab any intel from him. Skycrusher suddenly whipped out a Path Blaster from his left and his right arm had a Ion Displacer. Ratchet scanned something or checked something before he made Skycrusher put them away. Skycrusher then took out a Magma Frag launcher from his subspace. That was Impressive I thought to myself. Ratchet did something with that before he made him put them away. His right arm transformed again into a hammer that treated my face earlier. Ratchet did his fiddle and then Skycrusher put that away and he walked over to us.

“You didn’t get to shoot?” I asked Skycrusher.

“Nope, I just want to teach you all how to get out your weapons at the least, and I need to know what weapons you have so that we can set up the training area for your training tomorrow. Skyback, your next. I want to save big man war machine for last, probably has a pit ton of weapons on him.” Ratchet said. Skyback stepped forward to be checked out by Ratchet. After a mumbling conversation she transformed her right arm into a Neutron Assault Rifle and her left hand into a Scatter Blaster. It looked awfully small, but that’s because she was small. She pulled out a Photon Burst Rifle out of her subspace on cue from Ratchet. Neither of her arms transformed, but instead she pulled out a spike ball thing with a handle out of her subspace. Ratchet’s lip moved and she latched it on her waist.

“All right Skysweeper, your turn.” Ratchet groaned after this and when I got in earshot of him I heard him mutter, “It’s gonna be Ironhide all over again.” I snickered a little at this, and then I reached his side, and then he said, “Alright Skysweeper, concentrate on transforming both your arms into one of your guns.” I almost immediately figured it out, I just barely thought about it and then my arms transformed. I looked down at them and saw that my right hand was a Gear Shredder, and my left hand was an EMP Shotgun. “Alright, what I am doing is scanning you to make sure your weapons function properly and that good jazz.” My optics widened at Ratchet for a second before I got my composure back. “Now put them away,” It was done immediately, “and now I need you to take out any gun you have in your subspace.” I opened my subspace and took out a Nucleon Charge Rifle, and let Ratchet scan that. I put it away when he nodded and pulled out a Scrapmaker from my subspace. I grinned at this since it was my favorite weapon in the games. I put that away on cue from Ratchet. Ratchet then scanned me again and his optics widened. “Transform your back if you will Skysweeper.” I did and I unlatched a Thermo Rocket Cannon and held it in my hands, “By Primus Optimus, this will help immensely against the seekers, it has lock on and everything. Skysweeper, we haven’t seen one of these since the very beginning of the war, guard it carefully. Put it away, and pull out your sword from your subspace, and like Skyback with her spike ball.” I pulled out a huge sword and pulled it out of its sheath, it was a great sword, two hands in order to wield it. It wasn’t huge, but you had to wield it with two hands in order for the weapons to be fast. I grinned at my luck and put it back in the sheath. “Yeah you are a mini Ironhide, decked from head to toe with weapons. Get out of here.”

“Alright, training is over, everyone clear out except for you Skysweeper, I want to speak with you.” Optimus said. I froze, and slowly walked over to him as everyone left. When everyone was gone, he began, “Now the reason I called you over here is because you have many weapons. And I do not want it to go to your head. Weapons are a responsibility, moreover, they will not dictate the way of battle, YOU dictate the way of battle. Do not think you are invincible because you have many weapons, powerful weapons. Even though it seems good, there are times when weapons do no good and you have to go about in different methods.” He emphasized methods and I think that he meant that as in words and other stuff like that, “That’s all I needed,” Optimus said, “you may go on now.” I left with a yes sir and pondered his words. I know that I’m not invincible, but why did he tell me that? Maybe I will start to think it one day? I suddenly ran into someone and I staggered backwards and looked down.

“You seem to have a lot on your mind, considering you just ran flat into me.” Arcee observed.

“Well you ran into me also, so can I assume that it’s the other way around also?” I asked.

“Yeah. I guess we’re two peas in a pod.” Arcee drawled out. “Alright, I’ll be seeing you.”

“See you around.” I walked past into the Silo and saw the humans.

Skycrusher spoke and said, “And that is Skysweeper.” He turned to me and gestured at the humans and said, “Skysweeper, this is Jack,” he pointed to Jack, “Miko,” gestured to Miko, “and that is Rafael.” He concluded to me with another finger point at the little human. Of course I already knew who they were, but so we didn’t seem like creepers in the human eyes, we acted like this was the first time we met them.

“Nice to meet you all.” I smiled warmly at them.

“You’re HUGE! How many guns you packing, like 20!?” Miko spasmed.

“Uh not quite that much, just 5.”

“More than the others though!” Miko excitedly said.

“Weapons aren’t everything Miko.” I mirrored Optimus’s words.

“Do you want to play a game?” Raft asked.

“Sure. Why not?” I sat down and Raft set up the game so that we could play. We started my race, and by the end, I had my aft handed to me on a silver platter. “I think I’m gonna need a little more practice.” I said sheepishly.

“Yeah, Raft’s pretty much a pro at that game, but you’ll get better with time.” Jack said.

“I hope so.” I spent the rest of the day with the humans until they had to go home, and I still stayed on the game, trying to get better with the computer, but I could barley beat the computer on normal. I sighed in defeat as I lost this normal match to the computer. I got up and went to the med bay to get my energon and sleep.

“Skysweeper, your room will be ready tomorrow, the others already have their rooms in order so you will be the only one in here. Before you ask, your room is not done yet because we have to put the forging stuff in there. It should be ready tomorrow though.”

       “Thanks Ratchet, I appreciate it.” I finished my energon cube and laid down on the birth, and eased into recharge.
