Moment 7: 'The Eternal Cycle'

“Stop that!” Ratchet scolded.

Releasing the bandages, I pouted as the itch returned.

I wanted so badly to set my computer up and finish ‘Battle for Earth’, but Ratchet had lectured me, repeatedly, about not using my hands.

He was taking his sweet time with removing the bandages, too…

“Don’t get your cables in a twist.” Ratchet grumbled, crouching down so his finger attachments could reach me more easily.

“Hold up your hands and this’ll be over quick, you impatient sparkling.”

Doing as he said, I watched carefully as the small clamps and scissors started peeling the bandages off.

I had been squeamish about looking before, but I needed to know if I could work.

Everything will be fine, Sparkchild. I wouldn’t do detrimental damage.

‘Yeah, because burning me isn’t detrimental.’

Now, don’t get like that, Angel. The AllSpark is only tryin’ ta help.

‘Well, I don’t need-.’

My entire brain came to a screeching halt as I stared at the scars on my palms.

They were Cybertronian glyphs.

Life, Death, Rebirth. The eternal cycle.
