A Helpful Traitor

~(Y/N)'s POV~

     So, helping out the Autobots isn't as uneventful as I thought. I've been able to provide both information and technology that I had uncovered with Knockout when I was decoding those weird files. Of course, most of the technology is useless to them until they find a means to build most of it.

         "What are you working on?" Raf asked as he set himself on my left, the yellow couch creaking with his weight, though I swear he probably weighs 90 pounds soaking wet.

         "Knockout sent my data pad, it has all sorts of security clearance on the Nemesis, wanna see what Mega-ton is doing?"

The hacker's eyes sparkled as he nodded, looking over my shoulder at the see-through pad in my hands. I found the icon that lead to the cameras of the war ship, and found the mech pacing around the control room, until he decided to head somewhere else.

         "Wow!" Rafael marveled at this new development in his world of robots and adventure, "What else can you do on this thing?"

I showed him a few files, as well as a game or two I made myself, with the help of Soundwave of course. He found a high interest in the workings of the data pad, of which I was not surprised.

         "How much clearance do you have on it?"

         "About as much as Soundwave... maybe a bit less."

         "Wait, if you have as much clearance as Soundwave... you have access to the entire Decepticon database!"

I heard a few interested 'what's' behind me as the other two kids found their way onto the platform.

         "You have access to the entire Decepticon database?!" Miko jumped onto the arm of the couch on my right, "Let's see! I wanna see! Show uuuuus!"

         "First off: Yes, basically. Second: No. You guys wouldn't be able to understand it anyway it's all in the Decepticon dialect."

         "In other words, you can't understand it either." Ratchet scoffed, tapping away at his computers. Sometimes I wonder what it is he works on 24/7.

         "Wanna bet?"

     I jumped from the couch, and onto the console of the giant computer, placing my data pad in a port like it was a hard drive. At first, Ratchet tried to shoo me off, but I dodged his cumbersome servos as I tapped on the needed keys, revealing a file in the Decepticon dialect.

         "Vehicon number 89004, rank: worker class, expendable."

Ratchet huffed, not believing me as I read what was on the screen.

         "Current location: Decepticon mine, south of Nome, Alaska." I typed in the coordinates, revealing a mine that had not been found by the weak radar of the Autobots. If the mine wasn't proof enough of my knowledge I don't know what is, but I still had a few tricks up my sleeve.

         "If that doesn't do it for ya, here."

I ran it threw a program I made myself, switching the Decepticon dialect to that of the Autobots. Now Ratchet could read it for himself.

         "By the Allspark... thi-this could change the course of the war!"

         "Yeah, it could, to bad you don't have it."

I took my data pad from the port, and jumped back to the couch, the file on the big screen disappearing, but the energon mine's location stayed.

         "I'll help you all to a point, but practically giving you the entire Decepticon database? With translation ability? No way."

I opened a video game app, and watched as the loading screen popped up.

         "To a poi... then why even show it to us?" Ratchet argued.

         "Because you didn't believe me. Now you do, and also know that I can read your dialect as well. That and I'm giving you a hard time."

The game loaded, and I started playing. It was a simple racing game, but it gave me something to do, that and instead of racing through the many different streets of Earth, I race through the many streets of Cybertron, during its golden age of course. The small avatar I raced was Knockout, which I found amusing.

         "What I will do, is help out if you guys manage to find anything on your own. And I'll do the same with the Decepticons."

         "What is that supposed to mean?"

         "Means I have the entire Autobot database downloaded into my data pad."

I heard frantic typing, and a low growl as Ratchet found the page that said, 'DOWNLOAD COMPLETE'.

         "And it updates whenever you update, same with the Decepticon database."

         "You little 'Con loving piece of-"

         "Ah-ah-ah! Not around the kids old mech."

I smirked, making Ratchet's rage boil even more, as he stared holes into my very soul. It didn't bother me, but I could tell it bothered the kids as they shrunk into themselves. Raf wasn't even looking over my shoulder as I played my game.

         "Ratchet, you're making the kids uncomfortable, go back to your computers."

         "Not until you destroy that tablet, or get rid of the connection between it and the Autobot database." He growled.

         "No. Besides, I'm trustworthy, and you all have known that for a very long time."

         "Oh really?" He was practically daring me to go on.

         "In case you forgot, both Knockout and I have known your base location ever since I ran away. Have you seen any raids? I doubt you've even seen Lazerbeak snooping around."

My point made, I took my chances and glanced over to the medic, finding him still glaring, but he was wavering in his anger as my point was processed. All he did was scoff as an answer and turned back to typing on his computer. 

         "Whoa," Miko marveled, "You just shut up Ratchet!" 

I honestly never knew she could be so quiet. I also noted that Jack hadn't said a word, and still hated me with a passion.

         "Well, when you live on the Nemesis, you have to learn how to shut people up from time to time." I said, not looking up from my game, since I crashed when I glanced at Ratchet. 

         "So..." Raf started, "is there anything you guys want to do?"

I answered with a mischievous grin, and placed my data pad on my lap.

         "You wanna go for a ride?"

They still don't know about Wildstryke. 

(And now the kids will know! WOO! Let's see where this takes us! Thanks for reading!)
