Chapter 46

Optimus looked up to the hovering Ravena. "Understood and you should feel that way Megatron is ruthless when it comes to close quarters combat. I will take on Megatron" He said as he went onto the battle field taking down a few of the decepticon soldiers while he was charging towards Megatron.

Megatron laughed. " This is the end prime I will rip out your spark with my servos" Megatron said as he went at Optimus full force.

Ravena looked to see Thunder cracker making a run for Sky warp. She intercepted and pinned him to the ground and held her blaster at his face plate. "If you want to live back off Thunder cracker you're brother made his choice and is probably gonna pay hell for it" Ravena said.

"That's not what I was going to do Ravena. My brother just acted upon some thing I meant to do long ago" Thunder cracker said.

Ravena got up and gave him a confused look. "You want to defect as well?" She asked.


Thunder cracker looked at Ravena then inclined his head lightly. "I fear for my Spark mate...If only she came with us today she'd be at my side right now" thunder cracker said.

"Did megatron hurt her?" Ravena asked.

"Primus no if he'd done so he'd be contending with me right now instead of Optimus prime" Thunder cracker said.

Ravena had a hard time coming to terms with two of the seekers wanting to defect to the autobots side but had to put that aside for now. "Get inside and stay there with you're brother you move and I will shoot understood" She said as she took off into the sky only to get shot down by Starscream yet agian. "Damn it" She cried out as she took the shot and went striaght for him. "I dont' really want you're brothers to greive your'e death Starscream but your'e giving me no choice" Ravena said.

Starscream caught Ravena by the throat and pinned her to the ground. "what are you going to do little femme. There is no way you are giong to over power me" Starscream said.

Ravena growled as she curled up her legs and kicked up and pointed a well placed blade at his mid section. "Thats what you think Starscream. I've been getting lessons from both Ironhide and my best freind. Leave this place and don't return" Ravena said as she advanced at starscream slowly.

Starscream looked at the femmes optics and could tell that Ravena wasn't lying. "you won't harm me...you're soft" Starscream said.

Ravena hesitated for a moment before delivering a round house kick that sent Starscream to the ground. "Don't under estimate me Starscream. I might have been human but you have pushed this woman past her boiling point. Trust me you are lucky i'm not breaking you in to scrap metal right now. If it weren't for the fact I felt sorry for you're brothers I would be kicking your'e sorry aft into the next county" Ravena said.

Starscream laughed. "Why do you feel sorry for them .They are decepticons" he said while wiping the dirt off of his face plate.

"Because I know what its like now to have an older sibling they both look up to you. I look up to Wild heart as well as my father for guidance since I am still figuring out what my purpose is" Ravena said.

Starscream growled as he was kicked into the sky. "How in primus name did you learn how to fight like that?"

"A lot of training" Ravena said as she saw Silver dust heading her way.

Starscream took off into the air.

After about half an hour the autobots were able to drive back the decepticons. Ravena sat in the repair bay with the other injured autobots. "Dad you need any help?" Ravena asked.

Ratchet shook his head. "No you sit tight Raven I will get to you soon" Ratchet said as he was fixing one of the others.

Ravena stood up though her legs were injured. "Dad I want to help" She said.

Silver dust and Arcee walked into the room. "Damn...how many of us did the cons injure" Arcee asked while going to grab a medical scanner.

Ratchet sigehd. "I don't know...its mostly the rookies and well Ravena who was protecting her father. Optimus should be in soon he took a beating from Megatron but gave one right back at him" Ratchet said.

Silver dust sulked lightly. "I didn't get to fight well I did but the cowards ran like mice" Silver dust said.

Ravena looked at Silver dust then laughed. "You'd be so lucky...Starscream knows where to severely injure a flier since he is one. " Ravena said.

"Yeah but at least you got to fight. My opponents took of running" Silver dust said.

Optimus chuckled as he made his way in. "Ironhides looking out for any stragglers" Optimus said while looking at the injured. "You all fought well out there..." he said.

All the bots that were in the repair bay nodded. "Thank you sir" They all said at once.

"Thanks Optimus" Ravena said.

Optimus nodded. "How is it you turned two seekers to defect?" Optimus asked.

"It wasn't me sir...they've been wanting to do that for a while. Thundercracker has a mate and has a feeling when Lord megatron returns that she is going catch some serious hell for it" Ravena said.

Thundercracker who walked into the medical bay hearing that. "Acutally Ravena, it was sort of you that made us start thinking. You kind of helped us see that Megatron is one vindictive crank case. Now if only we can't get our brother to see that as well before he pays a well to hefty price" Thundercracker said.

"Watch you're language please there are recruits in the room" Ratchet said.

"Dad...they are old enough to hear cursing besides...you should have heard what I had to listen to when I was 10. Ever hear humans curse ten times worse when a 10 year old hears and starts saying them" Ravena said.

Thundercracker was alittle taken back when the black seeker called the autobot medic father. "When did Ratchet sire a sparkling?"He asked.

"Im adopted thunder cracker...you're bother didnt tell you did he? I used to be human" Ravena explained.

Thundercracker looked to Skywarp who was now entering the medical pay. "Did you know about this?" He asked.

Sky warp nodded. "Yeah I did, Sorry i didn't tell you about that but i didn't think you wanted to be bothered with some thing like this. I know what you mean though, I didn't think Shock wave would go so far as transfer a humans mind into that of a transformer" He said.

Optimus prime looked to the two seekers then nodded. "You two will be under watch at all times until you can prove to us that you are no longer a threat to the humans." Optimus said

Both seekers nodded. "We understand Optimus prime. To tell you the truth were the roles reversed We would have done the same thing" Thunder cracker said.
