Escape

You didn't think that it would actually work. So many months of waiting and being with The Pet. It was becoming a bit boring over time, but you had known that you needed to be patient if you wanted to get off the peaceful tyranny.

You had become close with The Pet over the course of your stay. You noticed that he wasn't like a normal turbo fox. His seams didn't add up, that's when you had asked Kaon and found out that he was once a person.

You had then and there decided to treat him like an actual person, which seemed to get you a bit of points in his book. You were with him constantly; he was even the one that was with you whenever the crew was out hunting.

And now here you were, on the streets of some unknown planet with The Pet by your side. You had asked Tarn if you could go out grocery shopping while they were out, and he had reluctantly agreed.

Which you were happy about.

Now just to get away without any of them finding out. You had decided to walk a bit away from the city and that's when you found it. A large, cybertronian ship. You and The Pet walked up to it and decided to go into sneak mode.

There were some cybertronian by the entrance bridge but you two were able to get around them easily. And inside you were. The two of you found some crates that you could hide behind, and if you became desperate, hide inside.

You looked as the entrance bridge folded up with the cybertronians inside, still talking. You saw their Autobot logo and instantly knew that they were not gonna take well to The Pet, but you also knew that they would take it better to you than if they were Decepticons.

The Pet curled around you as he saw your eyes slowly blink with sleep. You smiled and laid up against him, thanking him as well. It didn't even take five minutes before you were asleep.

::: Shuttle bay 1 :::

The next thing you remember is hissing and growling and someone picking you up. "It seems that we have some stowaways!" You heard laughter as you rubbed your eyes, still a bit tired.

You opened your eyes fully when you saw The Pet, unconscious in the 'bot's other servo. "Oh, you're awake. Perfect. Rodimus will be thrilled to know that a human is on board his ship."

He walked over to another 'bot, handing you over. "Take the human to Rodimus. I'll go throw out this trash." He held up The Pet, dangling him a bit. You sat up, your energy returning to you.

"No, you don't." The 'bot raised an eyebrow ridge looking at you. "Why not? It's a Decepticon. See the logo? They want your kind dead." You looked the bot dead in the optics. "He's with me."

The 'bot sighed before walking over to you and the bot that was holding you. "Fine, but you explain this to Rodimus yourself." You nodded your head before the two began moving.

The four of you all got either disgusted stares, or stares of wonder. The wonder ones mostly came to you and the ones of disgust, towards The Pet. The 'bot holding you walked up to a bit door before knocking on it.

A loud groan could be heard from inside before the person yelled, 'come in.' Which the two did. "So, what's the problem now?" You scanned the red, yellow, and orange 'bot for a second. This must be Rodimus.

"We found two stowaways sleeping near the crates in shuttle bay 1, near the entrance bridge." This got Rodimus' attention. "Stowaways? How could we get stowaways on board?"

"Well, they are pretty small compared to us." The 'bot holding you lifted you up so that Rodimus could see you clearly. His eyes widened before they filled with wonder. "A human?!"

He got up from his chair before walking over to you and the two bots. "On the Lost Light?" He took you from the 'bot's hand and began looking you over. "This is amazing!"

He kept staring at you and moving you around. This was until one of the 'bots cried out in pain and fear, more precisely the 'bot that held The Pet. The Pet got onto the ground as he was trying to bite the 'bot's arm off.

You became worried as the other 'bot pointed a gun at The Pet. "No! Stop!" The 'bot's looked at you except the one that was being attacked. "Let him go!" The Pet growled before slowly letting go of the 'bot.

The Pet slowly backed away from the 'bot, growling. Rodimus and the two 'bots looked at you with wide optics. "How?" "He's with me. He's a friend." Rodimus vented irritably.

"Alright. I guess you want him to stay?" You nodded your head in agreement. "Are you sure that you can make sure that he won't attack anyone?" You nodded your head once again. "He listens to me."

Rodimus nodded before putting you on his table. "Alright then, you're both allowed to stay. But I would like to talk to you in private, with a few others."

::: Rodimus' office :::

Later that same evening the Lost Light was in space and you were still in Rodimus' office, talking with some of the important 'bots on the ship. You were still on his table but with The Pet this time.

The last two 'bots that was gonna talk with you just walked in. Everyone got ready to talk with you. "So, please, tell us a bit about you." You sighed softly before lifting you head.

"My name is Y/N and I've just run away from the peaceful tyranny or rather, the DJD." Everyone widened their optics. "They took me in a year ago, as some kind of morbid pet. I found The Pet there and we became friends not long after our first meeting. And then when I ran away he decided to come with me."

"Right. I've told them that they can stay as long as that they can control the turbo fox." The big blue 'bot looked at Rodimus with a stern look before softening it a bit. "I agree with Rodimus. Let's let them stay."

Everyone looked at the blue 'bot with shocked looks. "Well, if Magnus agrees then I'm pretty sure that everyone else does?" A small red and white one stepped forward. "Do we even have any food for a human? I'm also pretty sure that we don't have oxygen anywhere on this ship."

You looked onto the ground. "There's no need for any of that. The DJD made sure that I can live without oxygen and without food and water. They didn't want to spend that much money on me. They've made me into part mechanical. I don't need human food, I need energon."

Everyone looked mortified as they clearly pitied you. "That's not good." You shrugged your shoulders and looked away. "There's nothing I can do about it anymore. Nothing anyone can do anymore."

You took a deep breath before looking up and smiling. "At least you don't have to use as much money on me though. Let's talk about something else. Please." Rodimus nodded before he motioned for the 'bot named Magnus.

"This is Ultra Magnus. Our second in command. And this is Drift, our third in command." Rodimus motioned at a white 'bot. You smiled and nodded, greeting both of them. Rodimus then moved to a small white and orange 'bot.

"This is Rung. He's the psychiatrist around here. We have decided that you should visit him at least once a week just as check-ups." "And if you ever need to talk about a problem just come to me as well." Rung cut in.

You nodded your head before Rodimus went from his glaring to introducing the next bot. The small red one. "This is Swer-" "Hi names Swerve! I'm here to help you fit in! I am a huge fan of humans and I have so much of your cultures stuff. Movies, books, and much, much more!"

Rodimus glared hard at Swerve as he finished rambling. "It's nice to meet you Swerve." You gave an awkward smile as he made space for the last important bot.

"I'm Ratchet and I am chief medical officer. I am not the only medic though, I just know more about humans than the other two, so if you ever get hurt, go to the medibay." You nodded your head as you looked at the different bots. "Thank you for taking me in."

::: Gathering room :::

Rodimus cleared his throat. "Can I get everyone's attention? Yes? Thank you. Today I would like to introduce our newest member of the Lost Light. Y/N" He moved out of the way, revealing you, sitting on a table.

Everyone seemed to freak out, in a good way. "A human?!" Someone shouted, but their tone sounded intrigued. Happy. All those good emotions. Rodimus nodded his helm.

"We have come to an agreement to let Y/N stay here on the Lost Light, with her companion." Everybody seemed to notice The Pet at the same time. "Y/N has promised that the Decepticon will not attack anybody."

The 'bots in the room still looked uncertain, but most of them just shrugged. "Now, Y/N, want to say a few words about yourself?" You nodded before standing up to make sure that everybody can see you.

"So, I know having a human on board may not be ideal for many of you, but I can promise that I won't get in the way. So, as you know my name is Y/N, and I am human, mostly. I am currently 56 years of age and I am turning 57 in three days. I hope that we can all be friends."

You smiled brightly, but also nervously. Someone began clapping and soon everyone was joining in. "We can't wait!" Somebody shouted from the crowd and once again everybody joined in.

You even noticed Rodimus, smiling brightly before he turned to you, giving you a thumbs up. "They can't wait." He said softly, scooping you up. "Alright, enough." The crowd quieted down. "Now. Someone is gonna show her around. Any volunteers?"

A sea of hands raised into the air, making you stare a bit. So many wanted to show you around, it was a bit overwhelming. "Not you Whirl. Nope. Nah ah." Rodimus looked over the faces of the many cybertronians. "Wait don't I get to choose myself?" Rodimus looked down at you with a question filled look.

"You sure you want that?" You nodded your head once more, and Rodimus motioned for you to choose somebody. You looked over the faces, finding it a bit difficult before you noticed a 'bot that caught your interest.

A big blue one with an optic for a face and claws for hands. "You." You pointed at the 'bot and everyone looked in between themselves, thinking you pointed at them. "The one with the blue paint job and one optics."

The 'bot seemed to be a bit surprised that you had chosen him. "Whirl?! They chose Whirl of all 'bots?!" Rodimus looked down at you with a worried look. "Are you sure you want him?" You nodded with determination. "I'm sure."

Whirl walked up to you and Rodimus before holding out his claw. You crawled from Rodimus' servo and onto the claw before crawling even further up, until you reached his shoulder.

"Alright, that concludes everything for now. You're all dismissed!" Whirl walked over to the door, you still on his shoulder. "Alright, so now you want me to show you around? Not really sure why you would want that."

You smiled as you looked up at his optic. "Where should we go first?" He pondered a bit. "Do you have some kind of cafetaria. Somewhere you can get something to drink?"

This got Whirl to lighten up. "I know just the place. It's called Swerve's 'cus it's Swerve that runs it." "The small one with red and white paint?" Whirl nodded his head. "I see that you already know a few of us?"

You nodded your head before looking up at the ceiling. "I know you, Rodimus, Swerve, Rung, Magnus and Ratchet. For now. I can't wait to meet more of you." Whirl narrowed his optic in a humoristic way. "Well, guess you're gonna get time for that now."

Whirl opened some doors that lead into a bar. Once the two of you got inside, every optic was on you. It didn't even take 3 seconds before every 'bot was up in your face, either introducing themselves or asking you many questions.

You heard some grumbling come from Whirl. "BACK OFF!" Everyone took a few steps back at his tone. "Leave them alone. They're still getting used to everything." Everyone looked bewildered.

"Are you getting soft Whirl?" Whirl beginning yelling at the 'bot almost throwing you off, but you were able to hold on. "You were getting too close to me as well!" You sighed as you tapped his neck cables with your hand.

Whirl snapped his optic to you, staring at you intensely. "Will you perhaps show me more of the bar? Please?" You smiled softly, trying to get him to calm down. "Fine."

He walked over to some kind of bar table were Swerve was standing on the other side. "Eyy, it's Whirl and Y/N! What can I get the two of you?" Swerve walked up to the two of you with a giant smile plastered onto his faceplate.

"Just some normal energon for me." Whirl then asked for the strongest engex Swerve had. Swerve then came back with some energon and some pretty light engex. "I ain't giving you something really strong now that you have to show Y/N around."

Whirl grumbled but accepted the drink anyway. You took a sip of the energon hating the taste. You've always hated the taste of energon. You were pretty sure it was because you still had your human taste buds.

You kept swirling the energon around, trying to not drink too much and make the horrible taste worse. "You drink energon?! But you're a human!" You looked to the seat next to Whirl. You hadn't noticed the 'bot when you and Whirl had sat down.

He was small. Around the same size as Swerve with a white and baby blue color scheme. "Yeah. Kind of have to since my innards are of cybertronian origin." This made the little 'bot's optics widen. It kind of made you uncomfortable since he had gained the attention of most of the 'bots in the room.

"Nevermind that. As you know my name is Y/N. What's yours?" The 'bot lit up a bit at the question. "Oh, my name is Tailgate! And this is Cyclonus." He pointed to the bot sitting beside him on the other side. "It's nice to meet you!"

"It's nice to meet you too Tailgate." You wanted to talk more with him but you were interrupted by Whirl as he picked you up and walked over to the entrance. "What was that for? I was still talking to them."

Whirl looked at you for a moment before looking back up. "I needed to show you around didn't I? I know where we are gonna visit next. Brainstorms lab." You looked at him with an unimpressed look.

"What?" He looked back down at you. "Am I supposed to know who that is, or?" Whirl groaned as he slouched a bit in his walk. "No, suppose not, but you're gonna find out soon enough."

::: Hallway on the Lost Light :::

After many hours of walking around the two of you finally arrived at your new room. When the two of you had visited Brainstorm he had told you about the room and which number it was.

"So most of you have roommates except for a few?" Whirl nodded his head. "Yeah, but Brainstorm told me that you wouldn't get a roommate yet. Not until they figured out whether you wanted one or not."

You nodded in agreement before looking inside the room. Whirl had just opened the door and the first thing you see is that it was very minimalistic. Which you were used to anyway.

Whirl put you down near a human door. "So, from what I've been told that room is a bathroom and that one is a walk in closet. Whatever that is." Whirl pointed at the rooms in turn.

You nodded and thanked him. "Thank you Whirl. It has been fun." You smiled brightly at him. He just stared in response for a while. "Whatever. I'll let you have your privacy for now. As a welcome gift, so don't get used to it."

You chuckled softly as he walked out, waving his claw before the door closed and you no longer could see him. You walked over to your bed and noticed that The Pet was already sleeping in it.

He was looking good as new. From what you could see, Ratchet had fixed his eye and many of the other injuries he had gotten during his sat at the Peaceful Tyranny.

You pulled up the covers of the king sized bed and laid down, snuggling close to The Pet. "I think we're gonna like it here."
