Chapter 30

Sideswipe, Beach comber and Ravena were all watching tv as laughed. "Damn this is an old cartoon. The three stooges actually remind me of a few people I know" Ravena said.

"yeah who and do we know them?" Sideswipe asked as he had an arm draped over Ravena's shoulder plate.

"Nah they are my cousins and well maybe you know Spark plug he's like a brother but he's got curly hair like Moe" Ravena said.

That night with every one busy or either recharging for the night. Sky dive took his group and Wild Heart out to fly in formation like they used to do when they were back on cybertron.


Air Raid smiled as he saw Wild heart. "Damn femme what rock you been under" Air raid said.

"No rock Air Raid...well more like in one. Ravena fixed me up when she was human after finding me embedded in a bedrock" wild heart explained.

Sling shot nodded. "Glad to have you back sister" He said.

Wild heart nodded as she hugged them. "Its nice to be back. I missed you all" she said happily.

Fire flight nodded as did Air Raid, Sling shot and silver bolt as they hugged her back. "Lets fly already...speaking wheres that sister you told us about?" Fire flight said.

Wild heart smiled as she pointed towards the couch to the black armored femme. "The winged one is her. Her name is Ravena now but it was Rachel Ester Master" Wild heart said.

"Isn't that Carson's offspring?" Sling shot said.

Wild heart nodded. "Yes she is...so you can probably guess she's a decent pilot" Wild heart said. "Ravena come here please" She called.

Ravena turned in her seat to see Wild heart calling her over. She saw a group of mechs around her older sister. "Coming...be right back babe" She said as she kissed Sideswipes cheek plate before getting up and walking over.

Beach comber looked at Sideswipe. "You are a lucky mech you know that Sideswipe" Beach comber said.

Sideswipe blushed as he nodded while looking as Ravena left. "Thanks Beachcomber" He said.

Ravena looked at her sister then at the towering mechs next to her. "Hello Wild heart whats up?" She asked.

"This is Skydive and his brothers. The one next to him is Fire Flight, then is Sling shot and then Silverbolt, and Air raid." Wild heart said.

Ravena smiled as she nodded. "Nice to meet you all." she said.

Sling shot grinned. "Your not scared of flying are you youngling?" He asked.

"Hell no...you wanna race you're on" Ravena said as she looked up at him.

Sideswipe heard Ravena's vocalizer go against Sling shots. "You wouldn't want to do that He's faster then you are babe" Sideswipe said.

Ravena looked at Sideswipe. "I know I just wanna show him I can break the sound barrier as much as he can. And you should know me by now hon...I don't back off from a challenge" she said as she walked outside.

Wild heart pulled her back by the wing which would have caused some discomfort. "oh no you don't you'll be learning some formation flying tonight. Then you can race Sling shot all you want" She said.


"Awww do I have to?" Ravena asked while looking up at her sister with a puppy look.

"Don't give the puppy eyes you know that doesn't work on you're father and it certainly won't work on me" Wild heart said.


"Fine besides I wanna test the night vision anyways" Ravena said as she ran out into the fields and jumped into the air which activated her heel jets before transforming into her jet form.


Sling shot followed after the youngling and flew next to her. "Damn quick take off nice now try that when you're in flight mode and in the middle of fire" Sling shot said.

"I know, im not so fast when taking off when in vehicle form and actually I have tried that" Ravena said as she saw the others making their way into the open air. "This is so cool i've never done this before" She said.

"Sure you have remember flight school...your squad members think of it like that except the others pilots have been flying alot longer then you have"Wild heart explained

Ravena nodded as she flew at the pack watching when the others raised into the sky and lowered. "Hey Wild heart can I still race Sling shot?" She asked.

Wild heart laughed. "Sister...he'll leave you're aft in the dust but go ahead if you want to just don't start griping if you lose" Wild heart said.

Ravena smiled. "Nah sis you know me I'm a good sport" She said as she pulled back then picked up speed passing Sling shot. "Come on" she said

Sling shot grinned. "you're on Youngling" He said as he caught up. "So where to were?" He asked.

"The moutains peek then back to base" Raven said.

"A marathon as humans call it nice you sure you can handle it?" Sling shot asked as he started to pass her.

Ravena gave a determined tilt of her nose cone and started to speed up. "You got it" She said as she went through her songs. She put con Linkin Parks What i've done and started to speed up.

Fire flight started towards the base with the others. "Ok who's gonna win cause i can see Ravena giving sling shot some trouble" He said.

Wild Heart laughed lightly. "I don't know" She answered.

Carson saw the screen and saw several pop up along the walls seeing two jets racing towards the mountains. "Uh ok whats going on" he said.

Sideswipe saw this then laughed. "She's got bolts...she's actually racing Sling shot" He said

"Hey Silver dust you may wanna see this...our girls getting her aft kicked in a race" Sunstreaker said.

Silver dust who was near Ironhide and chromia hearing this then sighed. "Who is she racing and who is she with?" Silver dust asked.

"Wild heart and the Aerial bots" Sunstreaker answered.

"Ok that answered who she's with but who is she racing" Silver dust asked as she walked over to the screens and saw. "oh boy alright who's taking the bets?" She asked

Sideswipe raised his servo. "That would be me and i can't believe that Ratchet actually bet on Ravena" Sideswipe said and soon dodging a wrench.

"I know Ravena she won't back down and besides a few chips isn't that bad now an again" Ratchet said as he looked to the screens.

Ravena grinned as she was ahead by at least a few inches. "You are really fast Sling Shot...no wonder the others told me not to do this but i have to say I am having fun" She said as she pulled around the mountain.

Sling shot tilted his nose cone lightly. "Agreed and youngling you are a fast for being so young" Sling shot said.

"I'm a teenager but I guess I am young compared to you guys huh" She said.

Sling shot saw an opening and went for it pulling ahead. "if you want to win don't get distracted" Sling shot said.


At the base Bumble bee watched the screens. "I'll be betting on Ravena" Bumble bee said.

Sideswipe took the chips from bumble bee. "you sure bee?" He asked.

Bumble bee nodded. "I agree with Ratchet...she might be young but think of it this way she's been flying since she was younger" Bumble bee said.

Sideswipe nodded. "Thats why I'm betting on her also and because if I bet against her I know she'll kick my aft if she ever found out" he said
