《(Old) The Time of Night is Midnight》Chapter 10
Advertisement
"Midnight, come to the Med. Bay. Midnight, please come to the Med. Bay," Ratchet's voice spoke over the intercom. Glancing in the direction of the Med. Bay, I groan having to fly all the way over there. Bull's-eye chuckled at my misfortune and gazes over to his brother as he shuts up unexpectingly.
Sunshine is glaring at me like normal; he gives anyone around him, except his brother, a glare. He has a problem with me being there and speaking with his brother, especially his brother. I could tell he and his twin are having an internal twin speaking thing, Sideswipe had told me about it one of the days.
"Sunny! That's mean. Don't talk about her like that!" Bull's-eye scolded. By his tone of voice and words, they are talking about me behind my back. Sunshine rolled his eyes and his engines growls lowly before storming off towards the training area. His twin gives me apologetic look and chased after his twin.
My eyes watched them until they could no longer see them and I sighed from the added anxiety from Mister Sunshine. If his twin wasn't so cute and genuinely kind to me, I would tear his beyond rude twin apart from piece from piece. Taking off in the direction of the Med. Bay, I come from the side the window opens to my perch.
Ratchet gazes over from the sound of talons clicking against the metal perch and waved for me to come over. I follow his request and glided down to the metal table where his patients sit down. My talons click against the metal once more and I sit down my butt on the table. He brings out his holoform to most likely look over my cast; it has been almost the worst time in my life to have this thing on my arm, and walks over to me.
Doc bot grabs the cast gently and a tingly sensation runs through my arm in his grasp. All the muscles tense in reaction and I get ready for anything about to happen. He changes his gaze to look at me in the eyes with a reassuring expression.
"I was doing a deep scan of your arm to make sure it is healing correctly and it is. It is actually healing much faster than any human on the planet, may I ask if that is part of your different DNA structure?" he questioned. He is one of the two bots my trust has gone to out of the entire base, including the humans. Nodding my head a little bit unsure about giving that kind of detail, he also dips his head to recognize my answer.
"Your Metacarpal thumb, pointer, and middle and Ulna and Radius haven't fully healed yet and will need some more time. I cannot give you the information as I haven't calculated it with your predicament," he explained. Glancing down at the black cast that protects my injured hand, I carefully move my pinkie and ring finger.
A sound of small footsteps could be heard trekking towards the hanger door of the Med. Bay. I sat up more on my perch to see who is coming into here and getting ready if the being has bad intensions. Williams's body appeared in the huge door frame and his eyes locked instantly with mine. His eyes held emotion I was use to, fright and a hint of horror. Horror of me being me, it's not like I wanted to be turned into this killing horrifying monster.
"Hey Midnight, since you seem to be getting along with staying at the base almost full time, would you like to meet the rest of the bots?" he questioned. His voice also held the fright his eyes did and a smirk appeared on my face, you could smell the fear rolling off of him in waves.

Changing my gaze to look at Ratchet to see if that was alright, his eyes locked onto mine and he gives a nod. I do want to know all the bot's names instead of giving them nicknames like Mister Hissy Bossy Human here. Gazing down to the human who runs most of this joint, I nod and glide down to his level. He takes a step back in fear and surprise of my quick descent down and went to grab his gun that wasn't on his hip.
Rolling my eyes at his antics, I shoo him with hands to get us moving on with our small quest. He gives me a wide-eyed scared expression before almost stumbling over his feet to get moving. To play with him some more, I release a deep growl that rumbled in my chest to scare him. That does the trick and he screeched like a banshee.
His screech caused me to let out a long string of laughs. Fucking hell, this man is scared of little ol' me. Well he should be, I'm the most dangerous creature ever to be on this planet.
It took some time to quiet down my laughing as he continued our way to where ever he is taking me. He was giving a glare that couldn't scare a kitten and I giggled a couple of times.
We made our way all the way to the training area. All the bots I have yet to meet are spread out in groups talking to each other, not paying to their surrounds. Stupid's, what happens if an attack happened right now and you weren't prepared. You would all most likely die a horrible death.
"Hey! Everyone listen up, this here is Midnight," Lennox called all the bots attention. They finally noticed our presences and a pair of bots that must me twins, I recognized them as the ones that attacked me awhile back. They must have recognized me to and strolled up with a small threatening tone to their walk style.
The dark orange bot was the first one to speak up, "you're da one dat got us put in da brig. You're tha one dat scared us n' we defended ourselves from tha threat." Rolling my eyes and sighing deeply, I didn't care if they were still trying to pick a fight from it. William also blows them off and began the introduction of all the bots.
All the bots here at the base that I have yet to meet are Prowl, Mudflap, and Skidz. The others are Optimus, Bumblebee, Bluestreak, Jazz, Ironhide, Ratchet, Hound, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker
Gladly the introduction didn't take long and I was gone the moment he shut up his mouth. He had called out to me to stop and come back but that didn't happen.
While flying away speedily, pair of Lamborghinis could be seen from the high altitude. The red one takes a turn towards me and races quickly up to me. Before he could transform, I dove down and shouted "race you to Kettle Falls!" with all my might. His engine growls deep with his twin in tow and does a three sixty to head to the exit.
They'll have to be careful about the potholes of the dirt road, especially Sunshine with his paint job, and have to wait for the gates to open, giving me time to get a head start. Plus they'll have to take the road that is windy and won't allow them to reach fast speed unless they want to fly off the road down the fucking mountain.

Pumping my wings as fast they would go in the direction of Kettle Falls, I knew not to act like the rabbit and take my time; even if they are at an advantage. I continue to fly as fast my wings could take me until the twenty foot waterfall could be seen from in the air. It was kind of tucked away in the forest and hidden from the air. The main road goes by it but no cars could be heard for awhile away, not even the twins.
No humans could be seen from my position and there weren't any scents of humans that are new around. It wasn't the safest place to land with the trees surrounding the small area they give you to stare at the beautiful falls. But I have landed on Sideswipes shoulder with his head in the way.
Landing in the cyclone fence that helps prevent people from falling off the cliff, it rattles in retaliation of my weight. The metal parts that stick up from metal bar that runs across the top digs into the bottom of my feet. Gladly my thick scaly feet don't allow the metal to pierce them and I wait until the squealing of tires could be heard down the road.
A red Lamborghini pulls up with a shiny yellow Lamborghini pulled up behind the red. I instantly recognized who the Lamborghinis are a small smile appears on my face. Bull's-eye revs his engine deeply with a hint of playfulness while Sunshine growls with a hint of anger.
Instead of transforming into their robot forms, a human steps out of the driver side of the vehicle. To say the least he was handsome; chiseled jaw line that you could grate cheese on, the bluest eyes that seemed to glow (even the day light), the cherry red like his vehicle form was his hair color, and his body was tall and lanky with muscle being able to be seen under his skin tight shirt.
Next a human stepped out of Sunshine's vehicle form with the same features of Red but with his hair holding the same yellow of the vehicle he just got out of. A smirk appeared on Sideswipes faces as he saw me checking him and his twin out. It's just like with the Lambos, absolutely gorgeous and hard not to stare at them. I already knew these two are the holoforms of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
Snapping out of my staring faze, I call out to the two of them. "What happened? I thought you guys are the masters of speed, I just beat you," I teased him. He playfully rolled his eyes and made his way over to me with his twin redundantly followed him over here.
"Well you have a straight shot here by using the air ways but we had to use the roads, which suck by the way. There are potholes everywhere, what the frag?" he complained. I laughed at his misfortune but gave him a 'come hereth' motion to make him come closer. He follows through with my request and gasps at the sight of the beautiful waterfall in front of him.
He leans against the chest high cyclone fence to look over the cliff and motions for his twin to look over to. "Look at this Sunny! This is beautiful!" He turns to me with his eyes shining in happiness. "How did you find this place?"
"Flying around. It caught my eye and I decided to check it out. I couldn't fully get a look at it since there are humans almost always here." He nodded and turned his gaze back out in front of him to watch the water fall from the cliff.
Thinking up an idea, I launch myself off the cyclone fence and into the air. My wings catch the air underneath and I fly to the other side of the small canyon. My talons grip to the rock for me not to tumble down into the freezing cold water and my wings tuck tightly behind my back.
"That's no fair, we can't get over there," Sideswipe whines like a three year old not getting what he wanted. I climb higher up the rocks and start to go left where the water is running off the rocks. "Night, don't do it. It could wash you down the stream and we won't be able to find you." He was worried about my safety or worried about him getting himself in trouble. Picking up the latter as his reason, I get closer to the falls but not getting it.
Dipping my hand to feel the cold water run over my dirty scales (they are in need of a cleaning); I control some of it to float in front of me.
"Whoa! How are you doing that!? I didn't know humans can do that," he gasped in shock and surprise. Glancing over to him and his brother who was admiring the waterfall and not paying attention to me at all, an idea came to me. A smirk slipped over my lips and I cooled the temperature down to freezing. Instead of making it into a ball of ice, I made it into a ball of snow, a huge ball of snow (as big as my head).
Keeping my eyes train on Sideswipe (got to be careful about his twin, don't want to hit him), I threw it as fast as I could at the face of Sideswipe. He didn't have enough time to react and it plowed right into his face. Some of it splattered out and hit Sunshine with a small spry of snow.
The snow fell back off his face and he held of an expression of shock but that turned to a look as if I had challenged him. "Get us some more snow. It's not fair for you to hog it all." Within five seconds, the entire place was covered in a couple inches of snow and they used to their advantage. Sunstreaker was even playing with us, the battle of a snowball fight. This wasn't fair though to me, they are teaming up against me, two vs. one.
Snowballs are flying towards me and my first reaction to do was create a wall of ice to protect myself. The snowballs make thunking noises against the wall of ice. "Midnight, make this fair." This time Sunstreaker spoke up and his human voice was about the same with his robot form. Sticking my hand over the wall, I let my middle finger spring out to tell them both to fuck off.
"It's two vs. one, this isn't fair in the first place," I yell from behind my wall of safety. Another couple of thunks of snowballs hitting the wall were their reactions. Creating more huge snow balls and a few smaller ones, I peek with my eyes and above over the top to see where they are. Something cold pelted me straight in the head and I yelp in surprise. Ducking back down to get out of the line of the cold snowballs, I count to three before sprinting out from my hiding spot and started to pelt the yellow and red shirt humans.
Most of the snowballs missed them, ranging from five feet away to centimeters away. The ones that hit them helped my cause and I took off into the air, bring a whole bunch of snow with me. I drop all the snow on their vehicle forms and they revved their engines deeply in anger.
Knowing they can't get from this height, I begin to head back to the base in attempts to escape them. They will go after me and try to get back to me. Shit, now I'll have to watch my back for awhile until the dust settles and they cool down.
The base quickly came into sight and I headed straight to the Med. Bay to hide out. Ratchet will protect me from the Terror Twins or he'll make me defend for myself. Sneaking through the window which surprisingly didn't make a sound this time, I cuddle in the pile of blankets and pillows. It wasn't such a good idea since my body was still wet from the snowball fight with the twins.
Later that day, Mister Hissy Bossy Human strolled his way into the Med. Bay. Ratchet is in here still working on something important and needed totally silence for the entire time. I respected his request and stayed on the plat form to rest and calm my racing heart.
"Hey Ratchet, is Midnight here? The twins lost sight of her when she flew away from them," William questioned. He hasn't seen me yet on my perch. Ratchet sighs in annoyance of his work being disrupted and jabbed his thumb in the direction of where I am at. William immediately looked up at the plat form in the air and finally saw me. He motions for me to some down and I did.
Once making it safely on the floor, I shake like a wet dog to get all the water still cling onto my scales. William didn't have enough time to react and was covered in the water that was flung off. He gives me a 'was that necessary?' expression before leading out of the Med. Bay.
"With you staying here and already have met all the bots, it's time to introduce you to the people of the base. I have already given them a heads up about it but remember some might not like your appearance," he told the obvious. Rolling my eyes and sending a quick glare his way, we continue our way to where ever we are going.
Meeting the first few groups was fine as they most likely have seen me flying around but the further we got the line of soldiers, the more they got scared. It cracked my nonexistent heart more at some of them screaming in fear and some hiding the best they could from me. William gave me apologetic look but it didn't do much good. This entire thing just darkened my thoughts about my appearance.
