Welcome to Gaia! ::

Frost: *frowns* I'm going to throw a book at them.

Cliff: Holds up his cannon to Frost. "How about getting a good aim and firing some large shots at them instead?"

Frost: *blinks at the cannon* I think that may flatten me.

Cliff: "Humm...." Rubs his chin. "Well I can always ask Percy if you can borrow his sniper rifle."

Frost: That may be better.. I'm far more built for something more light weight. *nods* Thank you for the offer though.

Cliff: Nods before taking the time to walk and find Percy and coming back with his Sniper rifle, holding it towards Frost. "Here ya go."

Frost: *blinks and waits for his return* Oh! You actually got it! I'll have to aim carefully when I shoot at my brother. *takes the gun carefully*

Cliff: "it took awhile to get it from Percy, he went on and on about how the science of the gun works, so I left in mid speech." Finds a wall to lean on to watch her take aim upon what he considers a traitor to all Autobots.

Frost: Hmm. Pretty sure guns are basic knowledge.. Did he notice you leave? *takes aim at nothing a few times to get used to the feel of the weapon*

Cliff: "He probably took notice way after I left. He gets so caught up in the science of things it gets ridiculous." He chuckles at the thought as he crosses his arms.

Frost: *chuckles softly* Sounds like me when I get sucked into a good book at night. I almost don't notice a thing that goes on around me.

Cliff:"Yeah but I bet you don't go into the scientific definition of what the book is about and each character like he does. A book would be useless if you listened to his explanations and definitions." Shakes his head.

Frost: Ah no, nothing like that. Though... Pardon my language.... But my brother is getting a bullet in his a** for every time he's said I'm going to die alone with my books. *blushing softly at the fact she just swore*

Cliff: "You're not going to dye alone with your books, you have your fellow Autobots here to be by your side. Which has been bothering me. Why did your brother turn traitor?" He personally wanted to shoot a few cannon shots at the traitor but each bot had their own score to settle.

Frost: Exactly what I tell him. As for my brother.. *sighs softly* He was never an Autobot.. When I sided with you guys, he was still undecided. Though once I was gone it didn't take him too long to realize he could never be a 'goody two-shoes' and went to them instead.

Cliff: Huffs. "Not all Autobots are goody two-shoes, or even nice for that matter. War has done the number on a lot of them to show that. I doubt he even knows the truth behind the history and how bad those Cons can be. Just lock him in a room with Percy and I'm sure he can talk his ear off about all the facts of what went and still going on."

Frost: I'd say that seems to be the truth... *gives her head a small shake* I've tried to speak him into coming to our side many times but words seem to fall on deaf ears. A shame but there really isn't much that can be done.

Cliff: "Well I know Drift changed sides before I even knew him, Here's hoping your brother will someday see the truth. It will take a lot of kicking in the afterburners to get him to realize it someday I hope for your sake." Takes a seat to the ground wondering if he should have offered more than 2 weapons.

Frost: *chuckles* Maybe I should get a hand with those kicks to the afterburner then. I make a far better record keeper than a fighter even if I have a decent shot. *takes a seat as well and sets the gun down beside her*

Cliff: "I could always lend a hand, Shoot the first few cannon warning shots while you practice on a moving target." He started to laugh again, the thought of her brother running chicken amused him.

Frost: Haha! Sadly my brother has grown a lot more solid in his temperament since becoming a Decpeticon. I doubt he'd scare easy.

Cliff: "Well that sucks servos, It works quite well against Skywarp. Then again That con does more harm to himself than anyone else. He a nervous wreck." Grins.

Frost: Haha! I've heard the stories, they're quite entertaining really. I'm so I'd be no different on the battlefield though.

Cliff: "I doubt that. I know Percy isn't one for the battlefield unless it's completely necessary. He's one of out best snipers as well as a great scientist when it comes to helping Ratchet and finding things we don't usually notice. Though I doubt that really came out right. What I'm trying to say is everyone has their own uniqueness and style to them. Together we make a great team to fend off the Cons with. We look after each other in our own unique ways." Rubs his head, already knowing he probably sounded so stupid trying to comfort her.

Frost: *chuckles softly and nods at his words* You make a very good point. Though, meek little me can barely stand up to my brother on a good day. I think he's grown to simply humor me so I can seem a little tougher. Though, his new friend spits out some nasty remarks.

Cliff: "Words can hurt, I know because I've done more than my fair share and I know i'll say even more when aggravated enough But..." Leans over towards her and pokes her cheek. "They're only words and I'm sure a few shots into his sorry aft can hurt him and his new little con friend than any words can." He smirks. "I'll be more than happy to help you take his con friend down and hold onto your brother while you make those shots."

Frost: Sounds like a plan to me. Just have to remember to keep in mine that I'm above their little name calling game. *gives a bit of a laugh when her cheek is poked* And here I thought all you fighter types were intimidating and mean.

Cliff: "You've got to be joking, Optimus, Bee, Powerglide, Percy, Beachcomber especially, then there's, Wheeljack, Wreck Gar defiantly, that nut job. I can go on and on. We're all fighters, even you. Slag, Ratchet's our medic and he can sure hold his own. but, he can be intimidating at times with his stuffy old fart attitude." He was glad that he could cheer her up more, he was never really good at those things though.

Frost: I have to admit that on the right day, Ratchet himself is far more intimidating than any fighter or Decepticon I have ever come across! Sometimes it is best to avoid getting hurt just to avoid his wrath. Even Optimus can have his days, but, for the most part, the company of all of you is delightful.

Cliff: Arches a brow. "Delightful? Hey at least I'm not like Blurr who could be talking your ear off and half the time we have no clue what he's saying." The thought of being delightful sounded a bit to girly in his opinion, but let it pass since well, Frost was a girl. "Sometimes I wonder if there's ever been a time when Ratchet forgets and leaves a tool inside anyone he tends to. I swear I've had nightmares about it."

Frost: Oh I fear for my ears if I cross his path.... *shakes her head* And the whole concept of having a tools left inside of you doesn't sound like a pleasing thing, I think you're going to end up passing your nightmares off onto me. *laughs* I'm going to make it a goal to prove my brother wrong. *nods* He says I'll die alone. I beg to differ. One day, I'll make a fine sparkmate to somebody.

Cliff: "Try being one of the smaller bots, with a temper and attitude problem. I'm sure you'll do just find finding that special bot to have those little sparklings with. Which reminds me, I still wanna know if Bee is taller than me, if so I'll be the shortest of most male bots. I'll have to pound a few inches off of him." He scrunches up his nose.

Frost: I hope so. *chuckles* Nothing wrong with being short. Try being shorter than just about everyone. Happens most of the time when you're not a male bot. Come across somebody like Optimus or heaven forbid Skyfire and you feel like an ant!

Cliff: Deep sigh. "I feel like that with everyone, even around Percy or Ratchet. Slag I may just be the height or Ravage. Yeah that your infuriate me if I was. At least you make up for your size, you have grace and swiftness on your side. I just have a heavy arsenal." He smirks.

Frost: Grace? Maybe in the air, on the ground.. I'm a bit lacking. *smiles* A heavy arsenal can get you a long way though, and consider... If you're shorter, and most targets are taller than you, you are below the fire most of the time and have a bit of an advantage in the right situation.

Cliff: "Hey being aerial is great. You get an awesome view and it helps a lot when we need to find out what that cons are up to. The view is amazing. Sadly though I'm grounded always have been. It is convenient to be hard to target, but it's also hard. You can easily be looked over or hard to find when lost or even worse when those big Cons get a hold of you and hold you captive. That's when I get them with the horns." He says as he point to the two silver horns on his head. "They think twice of doing that then."

Frost: Yes. *nods* The view from the air is absolutely amazing. I have to say if I was grounded after growing up a flyer.. I don't know what I'd do. And.... *shudders* I hope I never get captured. My brother's little friend was laughing over the idea of leaving me to their troops to watch them fight over me. *glances to see the horns* Mess with the bull, get the horns.

Cliff: "Hit is right on the nail." He leaned more against the wall getting a bit curious. "If that happened I'll be more than happy to show you how fun driving the open road could be. As for that retched Cons devious plans, I'd rescue you, even if it meant going alone. I have my ways of breaking through their defenses." He punches a fist int the palm of his hand, the thought of kicking some Decepticon tail thrilled him.

Frost: I'm quite sure that being out on the road like that could be just as enjoyable as the air. And, likely a little less dangerous since you don't really have to worry about long drops.*smiles, reassured by the other Autobots words* I thank you for that then. At least I know one person would be willing to risk themselves for me. *chuckles* With your fiery attitude and strength, I'm sure that you'd make a very protective partner to that special someone.

Cliff: Shaking his head. "That's completely the opposite. I'm to hot-headed and trigger happy as the other bots say to ever find that special bot. My fiery attitude will probably have others avoiding me for that kind of reason.As for you, you're level headed, kind and very skilled in your area of expertise. I'm sure you'll have any bot fawning over you like a lovesick puppy if you hang around them enough."

Frost: I guess that's where I'm just as bad then. Where your hot-headed attitude may chase people away.. I'm the type to run, or hide, quite quickly and anyway I can when confronted. *laughs* Heck, somebody tried to give me a kiss once and I quickly stick a book between our faces to 'save myself' from the simple gesture.

Cliff: Arches a brow. "Well I'm still surprised you haven't decided to run and go off to do more important things than to chat with a hot-headed bot like myself." He leans forward ad he rests his arms on his knees. 'So why haven't you?"

Frost: Why haven't I? *smiles* Well, so far, I don't find you very hot-tempered, and instead find you to make pretty good company. That and.. I should probably try and be more social before I turn into a book or something.

Cliff: "It's a start, though I'm sure there are other bots so much better when it comes to company than I ever will be." Pokes her cheek again, for fun. "Just you wait. This is just the calm before the storm again. We're going to be called to fight and this peace of mind will be broken. Then you'll see how much of an aft I can really be."

Frost: *sticks her tongue out at him* No matter how much of an aft you can be, you can't top the things those Decepticon goons say. Some of it, really is something else. *gives her head a bit of a shake with a soft hum* It may be a calm before the storm, but we all know fighting does things to us.

Cliff: Challenges her stuck out tongue with a stupid look on his face. "Well I can say, the fights aren't as bad at as they use to be. You should hear Kup's war stories, they're brutal." Getting up to his feet he stretches, sitting around in one spot made him a tad restless as he lowered his hand to help Frost up. "Wanna take some shots at your brother or maybe even Starscream? I know Starscream can take the abuse at least."

Sky was finishing up some updates to weapons in his office while he waited for Star to stop by, or any of the many other Autobots whose weapons he was working on. Who ever came first, he had several of the weapons done already and was hoping to see Star soon, since he was so close to popping.

Star grumbled as he headed through the halls to head to Sky's office, insisting on wearing heels while pregnant was proving to be a bad idea but being as stubborn as he was you weren't going to tell him otherwise. This time though he'd given up and was instead carrying his boots in hand as he cautiously eyed the halls around him to make sure nobody saw him, last thing he needed was somebody coming after him because he was a 'Decepticon'.

Cliff made his way down the hall, his head down as he was looking over his null ray gun, he apparently broke, cussing about it. He was hoping Sky could fix it for him, since Wheeljack was out on patrol. His temper sure got the best of him this time and he was still fuming about breaking it. "Hey sky? Can you fix my null...." He went quiet as he saw Starscream, his fur bristling up as it looked like he'd blow his top very soon.

Sky looked up when his love walked in and smiled as he hugged him. "Almost done with a few things then we can spend some time together." he said as he turned back to working when he looked up as cliff walked in. When the male froze and looked pissed at Star Sky stood up, being very tall for most Autobots (Assuming here lol i know hes tall as ********) he growled at Cliff. "You best calm your self. touch my pregnant mate in MY office and you'll be in a world of pain." he said pulling Star behind his back as he waited t see what Cliff would do.

Starscream had entered the room making his way over to Sky and returning the embrace of the much larger male. "You, do quite well with keeping yourself busy around here don't you Sky?" His attention turned quickly though as the door opened and Cliff made his way into the room. The would be Decepticon gave a groan as he was scooted behind Sky. "And here I was working so hard at getting in and out unseen!"

"M-Ma-Mate?!?! P-Pregnant?!" Those two words didn't settle in Cliff's mind one bit as he chucked his null ray-gun at Sky. "What the Slagging Hell, Sky!?" He charged his small self up, grabbing onto Skyfire's shirt and pointing at Starscream. "So when were you going to tell the rest of the Autobots?, let alone Optimus?! Give me good reason why I shouldn't beat him and you to a pulp! And I don't want to hear, because he's your pregnant mate!"

Sky narrowed his eyes and used a wing to knock the gun aside and watched the male charge at him. Sky growled and grabbed the male and pushed him against the wall, letting him feel the strength in his body, though he wasn't really built for strength. "Just you try. Just you try to touch him and you'll see what happens. You couldn't hurt me if you wanted and you forget where we are. We're in my office. Filled with weapons and guns. I know where everything is! It doesn't matter what the others think and Star is far from Loyal to the Decepticons. Now can i let you go or do i have to beat the hell out of you my self Cliffjumper?" He asked with a growl, ears lowered in anger.

Star gave a heavy sigh as he placed one of his hands on his hips. "I may not be the most loyal to the Deceptisons but I'm hardly anymore loyal to the Autobots. And so maybe we should have told you guys but what does that matter?!" He growled placing his other hand over his stomach, his ears shifting back. His eyes moved to the red Autobot, "You just need to calm down."

He scrunches up his nose. "As many weapons you have I'm sure I can still pull out a few more than you and out shoot you, but since you're a fellow bot, I'll let Optimus take judge on your actions, not me! Now put me down you big lug!" He really hated the thought of having a con in the Autobot headquarters, but as long as Sky was there, he hoped everything would be okay. "If he tries any of his tricks and anyone gets hurt, it'll be your problem Sky." He waited for Sky to put him down, he didn't like being lifter up off the ground, it just made him feel that much smaller than he already was. "You have no say in this Con, you're on Autobot territory." He hated the cons, but deep inside he hated Starscream the most of them all.

Sky dropped Cliff, upset with him over his mean words to his mate. "Do you see how large and far along he is? Hes been here several times already with me. Have you noticed? Has anything gone wrong or missing? No! now stop disrespecting him and explain what happened to the gun you have!" he said as he found the gun and looked over it, his wing pulling Star close to try to calm down. The normally docile male was very aggrivated and he felt strange, but no one talked bad about his Star.

Star rolled his eyes at the red autobot. "It doesn't matter who or what I am. Sky and I have chosen to bare sparklings and the future of those lifeforms should be what is important! If you had a mate and were expecting I'm sure you would stand up for them no matter the situation." He scooted closer to Sky and huffed almost growling afterwards, "This round I doubt I'd be much of a threat to anyone. I can barely walk faster than some old man!"

"I chucked it a the con, Glacier and it missed, at least I got to mess his face up while he was distracted my the gun throwing." He smirked, proud of his tactics for that moment. "As long as you don't turn Con on us Sky, I'm sure things may turn out, okay, I hope...though I still think you're out of your servos" He still glared at Starscream, keeping his distance from the Con as he waited on Skyfire to fix his weapon. "So what do you plan on doing after you have these sparklings? Run off and turn them con or stay here and become an Autobot yourself?"

Terra Byte was one of the new recruits in the Bot base, you could see her around Wreck Gar for the most part, if not trying to make friends with everyone, including Cons. "Sky Sky!" She ran into Skyfire office with the biggest smile on her face. "Lookie what I made you!" She has a tiny Wreck Gar plush ties around her waist as her little odd hobbies as she held up two plushies, one looking like Starscream and the other like himself. They're for the sparkling when they come!' She gave the cutest smile as she waved to Starscream.

Sky smiled at Star and was glad he could put it into the other Bots head that he carried life inside his body and it was very wrong to kill him while he was pregnant no matter who he was and what side he was on. He toyed with the gun a little and frowned. "You threw this? It very well could have exploded if it hit something right, just know that for next time, cause it wouldn't be small and could hurt a lot of people." he said before looking over the rim of his glasses at Byte. He smiled at her and set the gun aside. "Oh wonderful! Byte those look so great! Look Star!" he said handing them to him. "You should make one of him all round and adorable so he can never forget how cute he was." he said with a smile as he hugged Byte. "Thank you!" he said before kissing Star with a smile. "You know i love how round you are." He said as he picked up the gun and worked on it some more.

Starscream frowned softly, "I don't know what I'll do yet once they've come but I have no intentions of letting Megatron sink his teeth into them! Not that a bot who is single would understand any sort of issues involving relationships." Screamer huffed. He and Sky had quite the history together. Star's attention turned the to the small autobot, rainsing a brow softly as he took the plush of himself. "That would be such a reminder of a pain in the a** Skyfire... Thank you for the toys however." He nodded before returning Sky's kiss.

"Wish the gun exploded, It would be a nice send off for a jerk of a con, but it would make Frost unhappy." His focus stayed away from everyone in the room as he looked over all the repairs Sky was working on. "I've heard about Megatron taking a bite out of someone. Can't remember who exactly. Care to refresh my memory?"

TB gave the biggest grin, she was so tiny for a halfbreed, but it helped when getting into tight spaces. "So make a bouncy ball Star? I still have to deliver some for others. I'm trying to make Drift and Percy one each, but after the delivery to Frost I'm sure I can work on bouncy ball scream after." She ran up to Starscream and latched onto him in the biggest hug she could give, her ear against his belly. "Hello mini Starfires, or would you like being called Skyscreams?"

Sky smiled at her and nodded as he watched her hug Star. "Ohh i love the sound of both! Which do you like more Star?" he asked with a smile. She was really so cute! He often asked her to get small things that dropped behind his desk, cause Sky was one of the tallest in the Autobots. He had lots of trouble getting behind his desks or under them sometimes. He stood and walked to a firing area in his office and tried the gun. It worked and he walked back and made a few more touches. "There i made it a bit more stable should you need to chuck it at someone elses head. As for the biting im not sure what happened there, You know anything Love?" he said with a smile as he handed the gun back.

"Skyfire. One of them is being named Skyfire..." His attention caught at the name Frost though and he gave a soft hum, "Frost Bite...? As in the younger sister to the Decepticon Glacier? Waste of space!" He said giving his hand a small wave. He thought for a minute when the question of information came back his way and he tapped his chin. "Yes.... I wasn't there but I ran into Megatron afterwards... You see, Mainframe, he's the child of one of us, and a being known as a technorganic. Megatron wasn't pleased with the halfblooded boy combined with how he pressed our leaders buttons. Serves him right I suppose."

Taking his gun back he smiled and gave a nod, before his eat twitched ad Starscream triggered his temper by name calling on his girlfriend. Automatically he chucked the gun that was handed to him, right for Starscreams head. "Take it back!" He shouted, his fur frizzed in anger. "Take back on what you said about Frost!"

"Can I babysit them when they come out?" She loved talking to the babies in Starscreams belly, but when things where thrown and the shouting started she squeaked and ran to the table, slipping under it, not sure what else was going to happen. She just knew she didn't want to be hit by anything.

Sky was up in a moment and caught the gun with a growl. "I'm going to confiscate all your weapons if you keep insisting on attacking my mate! Did i not just say this could explode! Even with the tweaks i made!" he growled and got in the males face. "You endanger my love and babies again and I'll end you, same team or not." he said putting the gun in his hand and glaring at him. "Do not do that again." he said as he sat and pulled Star into his lap and looked at Byte. "Its okay no more things will be thrown little one. Your safe." he said giving the other male a hard look. "right?" he asked.

Star's eyes had widened when the object came his way only to be snatched up by Sky. Giving Cliff a soft glare he scooted contently onto Sky's lap and rested against the larger male, his tail giving a flick. "You are are protective of damn woman. Why is that?" Star questioned, still glaring at Cliff as he spoke. He took a moment to glance down at Byte. "Yes, you can."

"Not until that filth takes back what he said about my girlfriend!" Cliff shouted, almost loud enough to where the whole base could hear. "He has no right to call her such, She's better than everyone, ten fold!" He glared as his nose scrunched up. He knew his temper would make him out the bad guy most of the time, but he didn't care if it meant protecting Frost, even if he had to make enemy's with some fellow Autobots, he would protect her at any cost.

TB scooted more, next to Sky's chair as she took it upon herself to take a grip of bot Sky & Star's pant legs. She wanted to sneak out so she could cry to Wreck Gar or Frost, but Cliff was near the door and she didn't want to add onto his fury. Then it came to her as she opened the panel on her glove /armor, typing in the code to contact Frost, or at least if she answered she could overhear on her com link what was going on and maybe calm down Cliffjumper.

Sky growled again and his large wings shuffled in anger as he looked at cliff. "He is a Con and he does and says what he wants to! I will not control him! If he thinks that it wont change. That would be like asking him to be a Autobot! It wont happen and you better get used to it! Cause he'll be here often with the kids. Now You best suck it up and deal with it or i'll throw you from my office!" he said as his tail fluffed in anger and he moved one hand to gently pet Bytes hair to calm her. He would give her a cookie and see if that helped her feel better. His eyes angry as they never left Cliffs face ready to beat him down should he not calm himself.

Star raised a brow, giving Sky a pat on the shoulder to try and get the large male to calm down and let him know that he wasn't feeling threatened by the angry red fellow. "Your girlfriend? So you're not single then. I'm surprised. Especially that she would pick somebody who has a temper like yours. To each their own however. I'm sure people must think the same when they see Sky and myself. How could he love such a traitor, one of the enemy." His ears gave a flick when his pants were grabbed by Byte but he paid it no real mind.

Frost had answered it and before she could say anything had heard Cliff's shouting. Books in hand she quickly made her way through the halls to Sky's office and opened the door. Slightly out of breath from the run there she looked to Cliff then the other two. "Is... Everything alright in here?" She questioned softly

"Do you not know where you stand Sky?! You're an Autobot and if you think about it, Starscream shouldn't be here at all! The only reason I haven't blown a few holds in him is because of what he's carrying, but while he is in Autobot turf, Decepticon or NOT he should pay close mind on what he says, or so help me!! His fist clenched now enraged, all that Sky was doing was permanently labeling himself as a traitor and Cliff hated traitors as much as he hated Cons. Once Frost arrived, he was so caught up in his rage that he didn't even notice her come in at first. He held himself back but it wasn't going to stop him from giving the glare of death, and wanting so badly to kill the Traitor and the Con.

TB instantly let go of Sky and Star as soon as she saw Frost come in. With how quick she was, she found her way around the room in the safest path and hiding behind Frost within seconds. "He's about to explode Frost, do something..."

Sky had to hold onto Star to keep from standing up and beating the ever loving crap out of the male. He took several breaths and looked at him. "Asking him to be nice while he is here to see ME would be like asking you to be nice about his view on Frost." he looked at the female and smiled softly, tight and upset, but a real smile for the female. "Will you take him away before he keeps saying more things to get his a** kicked." he said as he looked at Cliff. "I am never a traitor! I am loyal to Optimus and i will Kill Megatron if ever given the chance! DO NOT Think i would go over there just cause i love Star more then anything in this world." he said as he held Star, but made sure not to hurt him or the babies.

Main: I much rather prefer my bots petite~ Like Frosty~

Frost: =w= Don't you have a boyfriend Mainframe....?

Cliff: "Can I kill him now?"

Main: Kill me? Yeesh. Megatron's already tried that one. I was asking for it though.

Frost: You'd piss off a pretty strong Decepticon if you did kill him..

Cliff: "Yeah but if something happened to me Blackout would have to deal with all of the Autobots and he'd be in poor shape after I tore him down for most of it." Smirks.

Main: Yeah but if you tried to kill me, you'd also upset Jazz's son. Poor Techie. Where would he be without me!

Frost: Probably worrying less?

Cliff: "Probably find something better that's an Autobot."

Main: I'd ask if you have something against Con's but that's a little obvious... *rubs the back of his neck* You're honestly still all up in this faction stuff?

Cliff: "I've been against Cons since the start. It's sad that you really don't know how bad the cons really are and what they stand for." Glares.

Main: I don't need to know. I've met ol Megs already, and he's left his mark. *moves his hand up to cover his neck which is covered in faint scars* I grew up being raised by a Con. One of the worst... One who was a huge part in the fall of Cybertron, and you know what. He's an outstanding father.

Cliff: "You may have a good dad in your opinion but a good father wouldn't allow such a tyrant hurt his own kid in such a way. I find it disgusting that you and your dad still let yourselves be ruled by fear in such a way when you can find a safe haven with the Autobots."

Main: He doesn't know, neither does my mother. They can't. Especially her. And we're not ruled by fear. My father followed him out of blind loyalty. How else would he earn the name of "Megatron's Hound". He's yet to respond anytime he has been called upon for some time now.

Cliff: "Fear, it doesn't move from the main problem right there. You're being moved by fear of Megatron. The Autobots could protect you and your family but you hide behind that fear of yours."

Main: We don't need protection. All of us are strong. Myself, my brother, younger sister. Heck even my mother can be a hell of a handful. We're not the ones you should be worrying about. Bee on the other hand. That guy's involved with Barricade. And that, is playing with fire.

Cliff: 'If you don't need protection then why not go rebel, not fight for either side? As for Bee he'll get an earful from me later about that."

Main: I doubt my father would just up and leave like that, unless of course it's for my mother. *rolls his eyes* Big sap. Once heard him say he'd give up returning home to stay here with her. As for myself, I don't exactly have a solid loyalty to the Cons, same with my little sister.

Cliff: "Like I said you could always go rebel, I've seen both con and bot turn rebel. Then there's a bounty hunter named Lockdown who will go after either as long as it gets him the parts he wants." He crosses his arms, maybe this con wasn't that bad. He hated thinking like such, gave his a disgusted feeling as he stuck his tongue out as if wanting to get the taste out of his mouth.

Main: That's easilly something I could consider. Especially after being used as a chew toy by that b*****d. As for my sister, I'm sure she'll stick with whatever faction her partner sides with. I'm not too sure myself.. He could be either considering he is Bee's son. And so.. *wags a finger at Cliff* Don't you do hitting on my little sister. Both her boyfriend and myself will come after you!

Cliff: Slaps Mains hand awake from him. "Like hell if I ever hit on anyone in that way. I'm happy with Frost. I don't need any con around me in such a way!" He turns enough to reach out and grab Frost pulling her to his side, with a tight, protective hug. " So I don't want to see you trying to flirt with Frost anymore, got that!?"

Main: *eyes widen a bit as he pulls his hand back and looks at Frost as she's pulled close to Cliff* Waaaait, you two are together?! You guys have to be like.. Polar opposites!

Frost: *chuckles softly and wraps her arms around Cliff* Opposites are perfectly fine.

Cliff: "Yeah! You have a problem with that? Opposites attract, or so it says."

Main: Pfft well yeah, they have to if you two are together! Spoiling my fun. Now I can't bug little Frosty. *pouts some*

Frost: *smiles and shakes her head* You should put more effort into bugging Jazz's son since you two are a couple last I checked.

Main: Ah~ My little Techno.. He's just.. So cute!

Cliff: Shakes his head. "Knowing Optimus he may be all for it, saying this may bring peace between Autobots and Decepticons, but with Megatron still around I doubt that will ever happen."

Main: Hey the attraction could of been there the whole time. The respective leaders being absent and the troops without orders could simply be what brought it out and landed cross faction couples together. Though of course, the leaders showing up again would put a fair amount of stress on anything.

Cliff: "To put it short it's a Romeo & Juliet thing going on regardless." Gives a deep sigh. "Let's just hope we don't loose any good fighters in the middle of this fiasco."

Main: *gives a small smirk* Well, should the fighting pick up again, you'll have your hands ful yourself. You'll have to make sure that little missy here doesn't have to hear that you've been taken out.

Frost: That wouldn't be plesant news at all.

Cliff: "I won't lie, I've had a good share of close calls, and I'm sure they're not going to end as long as this war continues. But I'm not going to back down when it means I can make a difference in this fight." Keeping his arms around Frost he takes one her hands and squeezes it.

TC had gotten annoyed with the whole idea of waiting around to see when the annoying leader of their trio would return without him it seemed all the trouble the seekers got into came right down onto him instead and the idea wasn't pleasing. He would much rather watch old Screamer squirm and panic than deal with the headache. Storming through the halls of the Autobot base he growled and glared at anyone who passed him in the halls, deadset on finding Sky's office, knowing their missing link always had a bit of a soft spot for that blasted oversized flyer. At least he had that. TC was of course not exactly fond of those who were grounded.

Skywarp wasn't to far behind from TC as he stormed the halls of the Autobot base. He use to be known as a complete a** hole, only to have something mysterious happen to him to have him become to most chicken in the Decepticon army, and that made the seekers look bad. It didn't stop him from tailing TC like a fawn to it's mother. Regardless, if he was in the Con or Bot base it scared him, he much rather find a nice quiet place to read or relax without someone yelling or tossing him around like a rag doll, not that he didn't mind when his fellow seekers did it. they were like family to him. He shook with his fear as he reached out cowering behind TC and grabbing onto the back of his shirt. "As soon as we find Star, can we leave?"

Sky looked at his alarm system, he had it set to go off if a Decepticon was on the base for longer then 5 minutes, with the exception of Star of course. He looked at his screen and typed in a few things as he frowned. "Love your friends are here. I think they are missing you. How should we deal with this?" he said glancing around before looking at Star and smirking.

TC glanced over his shoulder at Skywarp and rolled his eyes, "Yes yes as you please!" He huffed, he had patience with Warp most times, unless he had something his mind was set on of course. In Sky's office Star looked up from where he was resting and frowned. "Great those goons showed up? How the frag am I going to explain this to him..." He grumbled, he didn't have much time to think though as the door to the office flung open, TC's angry face fading from that to utter disbelief at the sight of a round ol Screamer.

Warp peeked his head out from behind TC, a bit shocked at seeing the rather huge Star as well but even more intimidated by Sky and the room they arrived in. His mind raced as his eyes shifted around to see every weapon imaginable and wanted to run towards the exit but instead his grip to TC's shirt tightened. "Megatron is going to give us all a lashing if he finds out what's going on. That's if we survive from escaping from here."

Sky smiled at Star and laughed a little. "We'll see what happens." He said as he looked over the males as they poked in. "Do you mean any harm here? What is your reason for barging into my office?" he asked gruffly as he stood, staying close to Star and between him and the others to make sure that they didn't run at Star. He pushed back his lab coat to show a gun at his side, never unarmed no matter how innocent and passive he seemed. He looked over the two of them and frowned. "Your welcome if you mean no harm while here."

TC looked up at Sky, while not much taller than Star he was likely the biggest of the seeker trio. "We're here to reclaim our Screamer!" TC stated firmly, his eyes catching the gun. He of course was armed as well so it came as no threat because he was ready to shoot back. "The hell did you do to him?!"
Star rolled his eyes at the question, "Brilliant."

Warp's fluffed up tail now permanently frizzed from how many times he's been scared s**t less tucked in between his legs as his ears pressed tighter to his head. "TC can't we just go about this less violently where no one gets hurt for once? Sky said we were welcomed if we're good, I mean why not try and relax, take a break from Megatrons tyranny for a bit?" He tried to make peace, though he was never good at it. "I mean I'd hate it if you or anyone were to get hurt specially when we're greatly outnumbered and in the enemy's base?"

Sky looked at TC and staired him down hard. "Hes my lover, my mate and the mother to my children in there. Do not start a fight in here cause you will lose it! Here he is and he will stay here till the babies come, then he will be around with you two and the cons again when not with our children." he said looking at Star and then the two males. "Are you going to calm or is this going to be a fight still?"

In silence Soundwave always stayed by his master, Megatron's side, doing any and everything asked of him. No one could out muster his loyalty. but lately something seemed to itch at his mind, yet being mute thanks to the war he could only speak in recordings from his mask. Even so he knew not to speak in a way unless upon request or commanded to. Quietly he made his way down the halls of the Decepticon base, the files in hand from what Megatron requested. Being sure they were top notch for his Master.

Megatron was sitting at his computer working on some stuff, watching some videos from the bar the Decepticons, well he himself owned. He looked at a different monitor and saw Sound coming towards his office. He was very happy about that. The loyal male was always on top of things but even his mute face had been off as of late like something bothered him, not that Megatron gave too many shits about that but he did hope it didn't effect his favorite follower doing his perfect job.

Sound was sure to knock before entering Megs office. Once inside he made his way to the desk, placing the file in front of him as requested. He gave his bow, awaiting any new orders from his Master.

Megatron looked up at him and then at the files. Taking them in hand he looked over them. "Good work. Keep it up. And stop looking so...bothered your making it seem like you will have problems working and i don't need to lose you like i cant seem to keep track and or a hold of Starscream!"

~Affirmative~ His mask gave of as he gave a nod before standing at attention, but still had no new orders to obey, though the thought of Starscream vanishing a lot did bring up his curiosity to track the con if Megatron was so inclined to find him. He could get Starscream himself or even hire a bounty hunter for Lord Megatron, but only under direct orders.

Megatron looked at him and frowned. "You haven't heard from him either? I think its been too long. Find him. Find out where hes been going and hiding all this time and bring him to me. Alive of course." he said with a grin.

Soundwave didn't hesitate on his commands as he exited out the office to first track down Starscreams location.
Once he arrived at the Autobot base, it was easy for one of his stealth to infiltrate undetected. The signal was weaker from the radar he had in his mask once on the Bot base but he made his was through, easily slipping through to Skyfire's office. The metal plates on his arms secretly held his arsenal as he rose one up to the bot, being sure to stay his fair distance away so not to get any swings coming towards him. ~Starscream~

Skyfire looked up when his screen started to beep about a Con intruder. Pulling up images he saw it was Soundwave...that seemed weird the male wasn't often far from Megatron and he sent a message to a few bots to go patrol the grounds, wanting to see what Sound was here for since it was just the one for now inside and he could handle that just fine. He had a gun in his lap and his hand on it but it wasn't pointed at the door when Sound walked in. "Starscream? What makes you think hes here?" he said knowing those close to Megs didn't know about the babies. "What is your reason for intruding on my office and this base? I can kill you if your here for harm." he said with a raised brow.

Soundwave kept his gun aimed at Skyfire, using his freehand to tap the side of his mask, there were tiny buttons there so he could do thorough scans depending what it was for. Even though he held still he scanned the area, tracing where Starscream was. He would never answer an Autobot on any terms unless it was to protect his master. He knew Megatron wouldn't hesitate in killing any Autobot, but he didn't need attention dragged to himself, specially since it would slow down his main objective.

Skyfire looked at the male and raised a brow. "Why would Starscream be in my office? I haven't seen him since the last time i joined in a fight. So why would he be hiding here. And you better give me an answer soon or I can have other Bots here in a push of a button and you will not get out of this base." he said as he shifted his gun and to point at Soundwave.

Sound in a split second has his guns in both hands, set to silence so they wouldn't alert the other Bots and fired, one towards the alarm system to be sure it wouldn't work the the other toward Skyfire's arm that had the gun in hand. He wasn't fooling around and he wasn't going to leave and be empty handed and disappoint Megatron, even if it meant a hostage to torture.

Sky fire was distracted by the shot to the system and he growled as he felt the shot to his arm and dropped the gun. He stood and moved behind another desk and hit a button to slam shut his doors and keep Sound inside. He found another gun and was so glad that he was well trained with both arms as he was bleeding. Looking around a corner he shot at Sounds leg and growled. "STAR ISNT HERE!" He said as he shot a few more times hoping that he would give in and surrender, Sky had more weapons in here then Sound would know what to do with.

Sound didn't move his glance away as he heard the door shut tight behind him. He side stepped the shot that came at him, it barely grazing his leg as he reached over and flipped a table up on it's side to help shield from the other incoming bullets. He was clever enough to record everything knowing Megatron would want answers and the truth. He knew ways of getting out, but in this situation and danger around him, it wasn't going to be easy. He timed each shot before he slipped from behind the table and made a few shots towards Sky, shooting towards his legs and good hand, to try and immobilize him for capture.

Skyfire grabbed a different gun from under his desk and shot the table, leaving a large hole in the middle of the table, almost all the way through. He watched Sound and fired at him as he moved along, he rolled to avoid it as best he could and fired back, he tried to aim for the males side to stop his moving or fighting him. "Why are you so set on him being here in this base?" he asked with a growl as he looked for where he was hiding now.

Sound glanced down at the damage to the table, if it succeeded it would have done some major damage to him. Observing his surroundings he moved his aim away from Skyfire and shot the lights out in the room, this didn't stop how his fur had this Decepticon glow sadly, but it was a plan. Swiftly me moved from the table to the desk as his mask turned infrared, scanning where Sky went to next, he was sure to be as quiet as he usually was, waiting for the Bot to make the next move so he could track and fire at his other arm.

Sky cursed to himself softly when Sound took out the lights. His arm hurt so bloody bad and he was now in the dark, but he knew his room like the back of his hand. He moved around to a drawer and pulled out a pair of glasses that worked like night vison ones and kept track of Sound. "Cant yu bloody well answer my questions you stuck up lapdog!! Why would you ever think i had Star in my office!?"

Sound couldn't answer, Specially when he recorded live feed. He knew Starscream was in this office, the tracker on his mask showed it on top of he could smell the second in commands scent in the office. He guessed Skyfire wasn't that smart when it came to learning info about himself and how Soundwave lost his voice in the war. He fired his gun when he noticed any bit of movement, but only once each time, so not to waste any Energon with his gun blasts.

Sky hated that he wouldn't be able to get any answers for this. "Do you want him alive or are you here to kill Star if he was here." he said still denying that he knew where Star was, even though Star was supposed to be sleeping in the bedroom behind a reinforced fake wall. "If he was here you wouldn't find him!" he said as he found Sound and shot at him.

That confirmed to him that Starscream was still on base. The armor plates on his arms helped shield most of the bullets, but he faltered when one nicked his face and hit his shoulder, having him slip back and fall. The back of head his head slammed against the wall. Narrowing his eyes under his mask. Pushing himself up to his feet, he still used his armor as a shield as he glanced at Skyfire then towards the door, only leaving himself open enough to shoot at the hinges of the door.

Sky growled and hurried towards him when he fell backwards hoping to fight him and maybe stop him but he fell backwards when the male blew off his door and he growled as he fired more shots at Sound. "Yeah get going! We don't need you here for no reason!" he said as he chased Sound from the room. He panted and clung to his arm as he called for help, though the door blowing off would have announced it and have people coming to him.

Megatron frowned as he watched this all and listened. "You did well Soundwave. Even if you didn't get him I know hes there. Sky was stupid about his words and actions and I know that my second in command is there some where. We'll go in with more and find him soon. Come home and rest." he said.

~Affirmative~ He answered to Megatron though his mask. It was harder for him to get things done when He didn't have Ravage or Lazerbeak to be there, but he was always improving. He skid to a stop as the smoke from the door and blast was starting to clear, he felt the barrel of a gun to his neck, slowly pushing him back.

"Sorry I'm late, I was helping Frost with the new Bot files, Skyfire." The familiar voice came from Perceptor, with a serious look in his eyes, he wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger if needed. "To my knowledge Megatron is seeing and listening to everything that Soundwave is." He was careful to not move his gaze from Soundwave as he backed him back into Skyfire office. "You alright Sky?"

Sky stood there clinging to his arm and nodded. "I'm ok for the moment though i'll need some attention soon when this is all settled. I'm bleeding pretty good." he said as he looked at Sound. He caught Perceptors eye and gave him a look as he spoke. "He seems to think that Starscream is here for some reason. I don't know what his reasoning is for this but he seems convenced about it." He said as he looked at sound and got close. "Hear me Megs! Hes not here and i don't know where he is at." he said as he looked at Sound. "What should we do with him Percy?"

"If Soundwave stayed here Megatron would surely come himself or send one of his goons to come get him. We could let him go, but not until after I get some information from him. I know you're hurt Skyfire, but if you cold please disarm him and be sure to chain him to a chair or something I'll do what's needed and get to you as soon as possible." Perceptor wasn't the best when it came to first aid, but he was good enough to do patch work so Sky could go see Ratchet.

Soundwave was finally backed up enough were he was against the wall. This wasn't a good situation and it was just going to get worse if Perceptor got any information from him. ~Directive?~ He voiced with his mask to see what Megatrons new orders were. Ready for anything given.

Sky nodded and got his chair and pulled it off the ground and looked around for his things to fix him to the chair. "sounds good to me Percy." he said as he went to sound with the intention to grab him and pull him to the chair and tie him up.

Megatron frowned and looked over what sound was seeing. "Would you like me to send Savage to free you? Distraction to get you out?" he asked the male as he looked over everything. "Get free as soon as you can, I need you alive Sound."

Getting captured by the Bots would surely give a bad mark on Sounds name or so he thought. He didn't want Savage getting hurt either though. This time he didn't respond to Megatron, he only took the chance for Skyfire to get near enough to him, for him to make his move and grab onto Sky, thrusting him onto Perceptor and jumping over them to make his get away.

Perceptor moved his sniper rifle away to avoid it being targeted at Skyfire as he stumbled back. He was clever, even in this situation as he dropped the sniper rifle and took out one of the pistols, his free arm went around Skyfire to support him, as he fired at Soundwave while the Con ran.

Sky screamed as he was pushed, his arm sending a wave of pain through his body. He tried not to crush Percy when he fell on him but he found it hard to do with how close they were. Thankfully the rifle wasn't there. He reached with his good arm for his dropped gun and shot with Percy as Sound ran away.

Megs called on Savage to go help Sound get home faster. The male cat, sounds brother as well, drove out in Megatrons fastest car making his way to the bot base to go help save his brother. He cared for his loyal sound, and wished for nothing more then to hurt his traitor sister.

Soundwave made his way out of the base, but not as safe as he hoped. He was an expert at hiding his expressions and emotions, but in reality he was in the worse shape of them both. The wound from his shoulder soaked into his shirt and underneath his armor as the few bullet wounds to his lower back and thigh made it hard for him to get out in one piece. He was glad his clothes were so dark for the most part so it hid his wounds, but the loss of blood was making him lightheaded as he flipped his mask up to the top of his head to cut communication, not wanting to let his Master know.

Percy was careful not to hurt Skyfire the best he could as he dropped his gun, knowing Soundwave was off the base by now. "Let him go, we need to get you to Ratchet for repairs." He was shorter than Skyfire but a lot taller than Cliff. Moving to Sky's good side he grabbed his good arm and put it over his shoulders. "If you don't mind I'd like to check over your recorded discs to see everything that happened, as well as a few questions." Percy was trust worthy. He knew how to keep a secret.

Savage pulled up and saw Sound looking as unwell as he had ever seen him as of late, he might have been in hiding for years to be trained better then Ravage had been but he knew his brother well enough. "Soundwave here!" he said as he opened the door to the car.

Megatron frowned when com was cut by sound and he wondered what the Con was thinking to cut off from his master like that.

Sky nodded as he hissed in pain. "Hurry it hurts and i think i'm getting lightheaded. My files are yours Percy i trust you." he said as he looked at Percys good eye and nodded. He would make sure the male would be able to access the files and everything.

Percy was sure to hurry in his own way, where the speed was enough not to hurt Sky any farther. He was sure to let Ratchet get a hold of Sky to start the repairs. Not giving the doctor any explanation, just that it was being handled. He sat outside Ratchets sick bay as he pulled out one of his files, jotting a few things down for when Skyfire was mended and well enough to go back to the office.

Soundwave made his way into the car, not even bothering to buckle up as he pulled the chair back and laid there. He felt like a failure as he took off his mask completely and thew it in the back seat. He even took off the speaker in his ear and tossed it in the back as well. Megatron told him to rest and he figured a small rest in the car could be just fine as he unbuckled his armor and did the same. He glanced over at Savage and gave him a nod in thanks as he took a shaky breath, with his arms crossed across his stomach, closing his eyes to rest.

Sky lay on the table as he was fixed up. He felt a lot better and soon was mended enough to leave. He walked out and looked at Percy. "Lets get back to my office and fix up what mess he made in there." he said as he walked towards his office.

Megatron was waiting and waiting. He was nervous that something had happened to his favorite. Savage looked at his brother and frowned. "We need to get you to a medic...and I'll have to take this car in to get all cleaned your bleeding all over it brother i smell it. Are you going to be okay?" he asked nervously as he hoped his brother would be alright. He pulled up to base and went around to help Sound out of the car as he contacted Megatron and asked him to meet them at the med bay.

Soundwave didn't have the strength to get out of the car by now. He leaned on his elbows as he got himself to sit up. He didn't like that he stained one of Megatrons best cars, but knew if his master wanted to punish him for it so be it. His face was pale as he reached up, allowing his brother, Savage to help him in any way he wished to. The seat where he was laying looked soaked in the Cons blood.

Perceptor looked up, glad to see more color in his friend, Sky's face. He got to his feet as they walked to Sky's office. "You take it easy while I clean up most of it. I still have those questions." He handed over the electronic file he had to Sky before moving the furniture up right. Making note to get his friend some new furniture for the most part. "You need to be more careful. Already Cliffjumper is on the tight wire when it comes to having Starscream here. I know your intentions are good though. Just getting certain bots to comprehend the situation is going to be a bit of a juggling act." He pulled out the tool box where Sky kept it as he started repairing some of the hangings on the wall where some of the weapons stayed. "I'll talk to Cliff to keep this on a down low. I will let you on a little secret." He looked over and smiled towards Sky. "I know you won't tell anyone, not even Drift yet." Walking over so even the cameras wouldn't record anything, he grabbed Sky by the shoulder and whispered in his ear. "You're not the only one who's going to be a Father."

Savage hurried Sound into the med bay at the same moment that Megatron came hurrying inside the bay. He looked over the male who was his favorite though he would never say it to anyone, and looked at them. "Thank you Savage. Leave now." he said. Savage wanted to stay with his brother and be sure he was okay but he couldn't disobey orders. He left and Megatron looked down at Sound. "What happened? I might have seen everything but best you can tell me what went wrong?" he asked as he tried not to worry about what was wrong with Sound as they tried to fix him up.

Sky walked with him and helped by moving about the light papers all over that had flown or fallen away. He organized everything up and looked at him. "I know...i know but i couldn't let him find Star. I couldn't let him know where he was...Megatron can not get a hold of my babies! Its not going to happen ever." He said before he lowered a little to let Percy talk to him. "Your...Percy really?" he said softly before going the male a gentle one armed hug.

"Look, I'll try to the best of my ability to help you protect Starscream and your children. But you need to stay on base. That means no patrol, I'll take take your shifts. Just recover and relax." Percy gave him a gentle hug back before taking a good chair and pulling it over for Sky to sit in. "Take it easy. How about I get you some coffee or hot tea and we can sit and chat some. It may help take your mind off of what happened?"

Without his mask Soundwave couldn't answer his Master like he wanted to. It only added to the stress since now he was on his home base he knew he still had other work that needed to be done on top that he wanted to blow a few holes in that retched Autobot Perceptor. His fist clenched as he held his body still for the med cons as they repaired him. He knew with this folly he'd be out of commission for a few days and in his eyes he wasn't to happy with that outcome.

Sky nodded. "Thank you percy. But wont you have to be careful too?" he asked looking at the male. "Coffee would be wonderful...I need something to give me some energy. When will you talk to Drift?" he asked as he leaned back in his chair and sighed softly, glad to be relaxing.

Megatron sighed and grabbed a pen and paper. "Write if you can but blast it all i need answers to why you almost died on me today Sound!" he yelled angrily. He didn't like almost losing Sound, damn Starscream for running off like this. He hated the idea of losing Sound after losing Star so recently...

Soundwave took the and was quick to answer when the supplies was available. "Skyfire had Perceptor as backup." He didn't have to look at the paper to write in detail everything that happened. It was a bit sloppy fro his normal crisp and clean work but he was more than happy to inform his Master of any details, not leaving anything out.

Once Perceptor came back with some coffee, he set a cup in front of Skyfire, having made hot tea for himself as he took a seat and sat across Sky. "There's other things that concerns my processor that letting Drift know I'll be having his sparklings." He let out a rather distressing sigh before taking a sip of his tea. "Something is strange with Drift as of late, I can't put my fingers on it yet." He leaned back in his chair as he flipped up his single visor and rubbed his eye.

Megatron read what he wrote and frowned. "Damn those Autobots and their need to save one another and stick together. I know Skyfire is lieing about where my Starscream is. We'll find him. I'll have Savage go after them later as payback for hurting you. Just rest tomorrow you write up a real report on this and file the video footage you got. And we'll have to find out how to find Star in that place."

Sky looked at him and thanked him for the coffee. sipping it a little he looked around his office. "Well like what? Is he sick or is he depressed or lost? He does love you right?" he asked as he sipped the tea and looked over his friend.

"Of course he loves me and vise verse, that was never a problem. We've cared for each other since before the Wreckers were torn from the group. Drift has just been out of sync lately. until I figure why, I'm not going to put any pressure on him." He already had that worry on his face, but brushed it off quite quickly with a smile. "I am at the moment happy that you are alright. I'm sure Starscream will have a fit finding out that you were hurt today, but he'll get over it."

Soundwave didn't want to rest, he wanted to get that report done, but he wouldn't go against Megatrons orders as he forced himself to relax. He gave his master a reassuring nod. But he knew inside once he was well enough to go out again he wouldn't hesitate to torment the Autobot for putting him out of commission for a few days. The anger in his eyes could say that clearly enough to Megatron.
