Wounded Spark

Aileron glanced down at the femme. Primaltone had fallen into stacis and was still snuggled against her chestplate. Aileron sighed and tried to move the little femme. Primaltone whimpered in her stacis and clung more tightly. Poor thing must be having a nightmare Aileron thought. Aileron blinked her crimson optics. "Primaltone." She said softly. The femme clicked and twitched. "Primaltone..." Aileron said blowing a little buff of cold air into her faceplate. Primaltone squeaked and opened her optics. "Ail..." Primaltone mumbled sleepy. "I gotta go." Aileron said.
"No!"
Aileron blinked. "What's wrong?" The femme looked at her with scared optics. "I had a nightmare. I was all alone and-" Tears stared to flow from her optics. Aileron nuzzled Primaltone's faceplate. "You are not alone cause I am here." Aileron said. Primaltone sniffed and smiled at her.
Suddenly Cracked began to scream and wail. Primaltone whimpered and huddled close to the dragon. "Energon! Energon! Eeeneerrgooon!" Cracked hissed banging the bars of his cell. "Stay quiet and climb onto my back. Unless I say so, do not leave my side.." Aileron whispered. Primaltone nodded and climbed onto the dragon's back.
"Ugh! How disgusting!"
"Let's put it out of its misery."
Aileron growled at the tone of the voices. She heard the turn off a key and the creak of a cell door opening. Cracked howled and there was a clang.
"Kill it! Kill it!"
There was a bang and Cracked whimpered. "That's not good." Aileron said. "Why." Primaltone whispered. "Cracked doesn't whimper." Aileron said. The invaders came into view. "Insecticons." Aileron and Primaltone whispered. The two Insecticons turned towards their cell. "Look it's an oversized lizard." One said. They don't see Primaltone yet Aileron thought. The two opened the door and came in. "Let's kill this one too." One said. "Orders are orders." The other said. Aileron opened her jaws and let out a cold breath. The two Insecticons pulled out their weapons. "Primaltone close your optics and hold on tightly." Aileron whispered. She felt the femme shift on her back. Aileron growled and stepped forward. "Move. Now." The dragon said. The two didn't move. Aileron narrowed her optics and released a full blast of her power. The Insecticons were covered in ice and didn't move. Aileron rushed forward knocking over the two Insecticons. She heard a crash and speed out of the cell. Aileron briefly glanced at Cracked's slashed and lifeless body. She burst through the door. A swarm of Insecticons turned to look at her. The ice dragon released an icey breath and froze them in place before they could attack. She whirled and raced down the hallway. The Nemesis rocked and Aileron was slammed against the wall. Primaltone yelped as she lost her hold and smacked into the other wall. Aileron shook her helm and stood up. "Ail!" Primaltone cried pointing down the hall. Another swarm of Insecticons stood there at the end. "Lady Arachnid, shall we offline the Predacon and youngling." An Insecticon said. A spider looking femme strode forward. "I'd say she was more a sparkling." Arachnid said. She narrowed her violet optics. "An Autobot... You wouldn't happen to be Optimus Prime's youngling." Arachnid said. Primaltone stood up and Aileron took a step closer to her, growling. "Bring me the youngling, scrap the Predacon." Arachnid commanded. The swarm rushed forward. Aileron beat her wings sending a cold wind. A few stopped but the others continued. Aileron roared and rushed towards the swarm. She slashed out with her claws. The swarm surged around her, cutting her side. Aileron whipped her helm to the side and sank her fangs into an Insecticon. The body froze from the inside out. The swarm stopped and stared at the iced insect. Aileron slashed out with tooth and claw. The swarm broke as a scream echoed. Aileron rushed out. Primaltone was cornered by an Insecticon. Aileron roared and leaped towards him. The Insecticon turned just as the dragon's fang sank into his helm. His optics were iced over as the body froze. Primaltone looked up at Aileron with scared optics. "Obey my orders!" Arachnid shouted. Aileron grabbed the little femme and busted through the window. Broken glass scratched against the dragon's helm. She spread out her wings and quickly flew up. There was the sound of blades and Aileron turned her helm. Arachnid had transformed into a helicopter and was chasing after. Aileron cursed and took off towards the area where she had seen Bumblebee and Optimus.
Suddenly her tail lurched down. Aileron looked underneath herself and saw Arachnid gripping onto her tail. "Get off bug!" Aileron snarled shacking her tail. Arachnid spat out some web onto her side and swung. Aileron began to spiral and Arachnid barely gripped her side. "Give me Prime's femme." Arachnid said crawling onto the dragon's back. "I'd rather rust!" Aileron snarled. Arachnid began to slash at her back.
When did I care so much about this femme? Aileron thought. She felt a ripple of fear and found herself looking at Primaltone. "Don't worry,you'll make it." Aileron said trying to ignore the pain. Aileron narrowed her optics and flipped over. Arachnid clung to her back. The spider screamed as Aileron folded her wings and began to fall.
