Kynight felt the portal move around her as she closed her optics, due to the high
lights she turned off her audio sensors for the sound screamed against her. Kynight
didn't think she could take anymore as suddenly she was set free.
Looking around Kynight was surprised to she see she was standing in the spot
that Primus had confront her in and sent her on this journey. Looking behind her
Kynight was upset not to see her new sister, Screamer.
"Raggletag....... " Kynight whisper to herself as she transformed into her
Decepticon self and rose to the skies.
Primus watched Kynight moved toward the Manor as he thought of the next
assignment he had for her. "Ah, well, it can wait till morning. Ha, she is going to be
surprised when she finds out that no time has pasted here. Hahahaha!"
Primus disappeared as a slight yawn escaped his metallic lips.
* * *
Kynight sighed as she landed and walked toward the Manor. Something was
different in her. Screamer's bite was changing her, and other things done to her by the
gods. (See Stories- Dirty Deed, Lighting never strikes twice and Hidden Agenda.)
"I'm just a damn tool to them." Kynight whispered as she turned on the last step
and sat down. The universe weighted heavily on her soul at this moment in time.
Losing some much and gaining other things, was it worth it. Would time .... Kynight
thought were interrupted as Raggletag opened the door.
"Going to stay out there all night?" Raggletag asked his mate as he came to the
steps and sat beside her.
Turning to her love, Kynight, found her strength return. Raggletag looked at his
mate, and knew something had happened. Something not good. Kynight took out
Primus' gift, the bow of transformation.
"What is this?" Raggletag asked as he took the bow.
"A gift of Primus, he sent me to get it. I was gone for a least a month, and yet
nothing here has changed." Kynight said as she moved next to her mate. Raggletag
put his arm around Kynight as he tried not to snarl. Kynight was always running, never
stopping, always doing.
"Raggletag, I meant someone..... not that kind of someone!!!! Hahahaha... silly...
I love you..... The someone I meant was female." Kynight explained as Raggletag
relaxed, he had given Kynight one of the dirty looks any one could.
"She.... Screamer, is a female Decepticon or was.... before..... Raggletag,
Screamer is a vampire of sorts." Kynight finally said as Raggletag jumped up and stared
at his mate with a slack jaw.
"She didn't..... I mean.... " Raggletag stuttered as Kynight stood up and took his
hands in her own.
"Yes, she did... she bit me... but something else happened.. our fuel mixed and
somehow.... this is strange Raggletag.... I am different.... changing.... and what Unicron
did to me too... it working together... I don't know how yet, but I .... Screamer is also a
cyber-witch... I don't know... maybe my fuel heritage. I don't know... " Kynight cried as
she wrapped her arms around herself.
"It's okay, we'll figure this out together. " Raggletag said as she wrapped his
arms around Kynight. Sighing against his chest as she wrapped her arms around
Raggletag, Kynight smiled, this is why she continued. This is why she existed.
* * *
Kynight watched as Raggletag took the children and left for the temple of
Primus, to return the Bow.
Sighing to herself, Kynight transformed into her car mode and began to make her
way toward her office.
Suddenly, without notice, Primus appeared in front of Kynight. Hitting her brakes
Kynight just missed hitting Primus.
"What the hell do you want?" Kynight said as she transformed into her robot
mode.
"I have another assignment for you, my dear..... you will need back up of this
one.... but don't worry it shouldn't.... KYNIGHT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING??" Primus
screamed as Kynight quickly turned into her Decepticon form and took to the skies.
Thanks the fates she was both Autobot and Decepticon. Flying was one thing that
came in handy and well, driving was relaxing..

(Tower of the Sisterhood)
"Hey, Kynight!" Eolian called out as she entered her cousin's office. To her
surprise the room was dark and quiet.
"Kynight?" Eolian called a little softer as she reach for the light sensor.
"Don't...... I'm trying to hid here." Kynight whispered as Eolian froze in place.
"Uh, hid from who?" Eolian questioned as she move forward letting the door
close behind her.
"Primus, of course." Kynight answered as Eolian rounded the desk and saw
Kynight underneath it.
"He on the prowl again?" Eolian asked as she sat down, looking amused.
"What and I hid under my desk for my good health?" Kynight restored with
flustered sigh. Eolian began to chuckled as she noticed Kynight's sleeping gear.
"Eolian, he is driving me crazy! He wants me to go on another mission for him
and I just got back from one.... oh, sorry.... I forgot that time didn't move here while I
was gone." Kynight sniffed to Eolian confused look.
"OH! No, you mean... uh.. that guy..... Jeez! Kynight! I nearly forgot Kylord
reported some strange reading and I thought we better check them out?" Eolian said.
Kynight rose up as she gave Eolian a look.
"You should have something early. I just bet that it is Primus though.. he never
gives up." Kynight cried as she pulled Eolian up out of the chair and towards the door.
"Be careful. He's around somewhere." Kynight said as she peaked out of the
door. Eolian did her best to refrain herself from laughing out loud. Kynight bolted out of
the door and began to run down the hall with Eolian right behind her.
"HELLO LADIES!" Primus boomed out, he'd been lying in wait around the corner
for them.
"Oh, great...." Eolian muttered as she took in Primus' form. He was handsome,
no doubt, but he ruined it by standing with his back against the wall, his arms folded,
and his ankles crossed. Oh, as hot as he looked, he spoiled it by his, 'I'm all that look
and stands.'
Kynight started gagging and looking like a fish out of water.
"AH! Kynight, what is wrong?" Eolian cried startled, because she looked ill
suddenly.
Primus frowned, " Kynight you know that you must retrieved my gifts for me! I
had a ship program with the coordinated for you. Sky and Lark are also ready. Ur, I'll
catch you a little later... when you return."
With that Primus disappeared as Raggletag came running around the corner.
"Kynight! You okay? I felt like someone punched me and knew that you were
ill." Raggletag said as he bent down looking at his mate.
"I'm okay... Primus is stalking me.... I have to go and get his gift... he already got
a ship ready for me." Kynight said with a sigh as she began to look normal. Eolian shook
her head in confusion.
"Eolian, I want you to go with Kynight. Oh, the last trip for Primus, Kynight was
bitten by a vampire and things are happening to her.." Raggletag ordered.
"VAMPIRE!!!???" Eolian screamed as her jaw fell open.
"Yes, Screamer, she is my fuel sister and I wanted to find out what dimension
she is from so I can bring her here. She is ..... she is special to me... Raggletag?"
Kynight asked as her face showed the pain she fell no having her sister with her.
"I understand... go and get Primus' gift and I will start to look for Screamer's
dimension. Hey, the kids will love to get their hands dirty! Getting the information,
without Slee finding out! Hahaha, the kids will love it!" Raggletag laughed as he
embraced his mate. He hated to see her go, but knew it was her job, "Just come back
soon..... I miss you already."
Kynight frowned as she hugged Raggletag back with a pump wrenching
sadness. Eolian turned her head, she didn't need to see any of that stuff.
Kynight frown deepen, boy she did feel ill... what if something was really wrong
with her?
"Cough... cough.... " Eolian said as looked at them with one optic.
"Okay.... Okay.... I'm coming." Kynight said with a sigh, giving Raggletag a
quick kiss, she moved on. Raggletag sighed as he watched his mate, and Eolian leave,
he was lonely already.
Primus watched from the darkness as Kynight left Raggletag presence. She was
on her way to retrieve his Storm Orb. Primus wondered a moment if he should have told
Kynight of the powers in the orb or the danger.... but then Primus shrugged his shoulder,
she shouldn't have any trouble, and if she left the orb alone and just brought it back
then it would be okay.

"Eolian, I'm not showing anything here." Lark said as she cursed. Having
jumped dimensions and finding nothing, everyone was one edge.
"The gate opened... let me do a micro scan." Eolian said as she re-configured
the computer.
Kynight frowned she felt terrible, like her insides where re-writing themselves
without her permission.
"Wait a second....." Eolian began as the ship suddenly rocked as a portal
opened and began to suck them in.
"Where the hell did that portal come from??!!" Sky screamed as she tried to gain
control of the ship.
"It's no use, we're going it!" Eolian screamed as the ship went to warp.
* * *
Kynight grabbed her tank as felt everything begin to rise within it. The only other
time this had happened was when she was pregnancy with the boys.
"Kynight!" Eolian screamed as she saw what was happening.
"I'm okay, Eolian." Kynight said as she wipe the back of her hand over her
mouth.
"What in the pits!" Sky screamed as she stared at the screen.
"I got power reading off the scale!" Lark called as their ship drifted toward the
planet.
"The ship is slow in responding, we need to get her down, now!" Eolian ordered
in a loud voice.
"Incoming!" Lark yelled as an unknown bolt of energy reached up from the
planet below and attacked them. The ship rocked back and fro as light flashed around
the control bridge.
Kynight tightening her face plate as she grabbed the side of her chair pulling
herself up, her head was pounding.
"Get us down! We've sitting retro-ducks!" Kynight yelled as she planted her rear-
end down in her chair.
"It's going to be a bumpy ride! Buckle down!" Eolian yelled as she took her seat.
The ship began to turn towards the planet below as another bolt of energy hit the ship.
Kynight heard Eolian yelling as she began to black out. The pain had increased to
unbearable levels.
* * *
Hera looked at her husband as he threw another thunder bolt at the sky.
"Well, did you success?" Hera asked her husband as the Zeru looked at the
sky. The other gods; Poseidon, Apollo, Artmis, Aprodite, Athena, Ares, and Hades
stared at the sky looking for these new attackers that the Fates claimed would steal
their powers.
"I can not tell if that beast is still there or not. It has seemed to disappeared and
if they have survive then we are still in danger." Zeru proclaimed, as father of the world.
"I suggest we sent out scouts, looking for these stranger." Athena said as she
nodding to her sister Artemis, the goddess of the hunt.
"We can sent our followers out first to do battle, and then we can clean up what
ever is left." Apollo, concerned that this prophecy will hold true.
"Agreed." Poseidon, the Sea God said as he moved to communication with his
followers.
* * *
(Some time has past.)
"Kynight?" Eolian whispered as she gently shook her. Light, unbearable bright
light entered Kynight field of vision.
"Kynight?" Eolian asked again, staring wide opticed at her.
"Yeah." Kynight muttered in a voice that was so unlike her that it took Kynight a
few second to realize it was her that spoke.
"You okay? Your energy levels are going nuts, and your energon has changed
colors." Eolian whispered, alarmed by these new changes that she couldn't explain.
"Hey, everything fine, what happened?" Kynight asked as she began to feel an
unknown urge crawl into her tank.
"Well, we crashed, but not to bad, Sky and Lark are working on repairs, and I
have scanned the area. It seems to be mostly humanoid creatures, though I have
picked up other being, some being dragon like, or with feathers, some even our size.
The power levels on this planet run strange. Kynight, parts of this planet seem alive. I
have also found huge power sources that maybe the Gift that Primus wants us to return.
Though, I am unsure. Once here I check the computer, and found a file on Primus'
Storm Orb, seems that is what we are after." Eolian said slowly as she watched Kynight
carefully for any sudden changes.
"Great.... Eolian what is this? Looks like an army coming this way?" Kynight
asked as she looked at the screen, showing a huge number of life forms on there way
towards them.
Suddenly Lark came running into the bridge with Sky right behind her.
"We got bad new! There is an army of human on their way here." Lark yelled as
Sky pointed at the screen.
"An army? What kind? Can you give me a reading?" Kynight asked as Eolian
rushed to the computer and plugged in.
"We do got a huge number of humanoid coming this way....... wait a ... Kynight I
am not picking up any power level though. No kinds of weapons that I can detect."
Eolian said as she gave her companions one confused look.
Kynight paused and then muttered and shook her head, 'just what has Primus
gotta us into.' Kynight moved towards the door still muttering about Primus.
* * *
Velaca, a warrior of Athena pulled her warriors to a stop in front of a large gray
object. This had to be what the Gods were after.
"Priestess! Call to the Gods we have found what they are after." Velaca ordered
as she raised her sword and began to move forward. Just then, part of the object
began to fall to the ground.
"Scattered!" Velaca yelled as everyone ran, incase another part of the object
would fall off.
Kynight watched as humans ran about, and then sighed, moving forwards she
came down off the entrance ramp and set foot on the ground. Velaca's mouth opened
and her eyes grew large as she stared at the giant being coming out of the object.
"HUMAN!" The first of the large being said as three other soon joined it. Velaca
looked at the creature, a bit larger then Giants, but... could they be? Titans?
Athena appeared in a golden light near Velaca, to hear a voice say, "HEY! That
one just appeared! Her power reading are way higher then the other humans!"
Kynight gave Eolian a glance to see her pointing at Athena who was mouth
dropped open staring at them.
"Well, what have we here?" Came a new voice, as Ares the God of War
appeared, "Looks like we have unwelcomed visitors."
Other Gods and Goddess appeared as Athena threw one of Zeru's thunder bolts
at Kynight. Kynight felt the her body respond by changing forms and the urge to devour,
finally let it's self be known. Without realizing it, Kynight absorbed the lighting bolt into
her wings which had turn as black as Unicron's soul. Eolian screamed as she watched
Kynight change before her, growing fangs and turning dark.
Kynight heard Eolian's scream but the urge to consume was too much, and she
moved towards the Gods. Zeru screamed a battle cry as he began to throw bolts of
energy at Kynight. The Gods as a whole began to throw huge amount of power at
Kynight. Kynight remain still and let her body absorb what it need, and thought of
Screamer's bit that had seemingly gave her the ability to absorb energy. The benefit
was excellent, any enemy fire that was thrown at her, she could just absorb into her
body. Though, it also might lead to a few neck bits. This new ability must be use
carefully, so no one would get hurt.
"It is no use, we must escape!" Hades yelled as he disappeared ,the other Gods
soon followed suit.
Sky and Lark were beside Eolian, who was near hysterics, as Kynight turned and
caught a glance at herself in the side of the ship. What she saw was something out of
the old tales that surround Unicron. Her wings looked like the night's sky, though her
body looked the same it seemed to have a move seductive look to it. Her optics seems
to call, to draw in and the fangs. Kynight study herself a while and decided that this
look had to go. Calling up her memories from when she was with Screamer, Kynight
began to change herself. Pulling her fangs in, making her wings solid, and stopping the
magnetize force that surround her.
"Eolian? I am back to normal now. You can clam down." Kynight said as she
walked over to her cousin.
"What the hell is going on?" Sky asked, as Eolian whimpered about flesh eating
human.
"Ugh, not sure about flesh eating? Maybe that is just a human thing, but I seem
to need to absorb energy now. You see, I was bitten by a Transformer vampire, not a
human one. Her name is Screamer and she is now my fuel sister, Raggletag is looking
for her as we speak. But I guess lucky for me, that Unicron had change me somewhat,
and I can absorb energy through my wings, and I can bite too, but I am hoping to use
this to Paix average. Eolian, can you image, while we are in battle I can absorb the
blast energy and save our side any extra damage." Kynight said as she bent down on
her knees and looked Eolian in the optic at her level.
Eolian mind began to race as old fears and her scientist mind clashed. Eolian
looked at her cousin, and slowly smiled. No matter what would happened, Kynight
would always be Kynight, her best friend.
"You scared the hell out of me... " Eolian cried as she let Kynight help her to her
feet. Sky and Lark watched as the two hugged each other, wondering what else would
happen to them at this point.
"Uumm, what about those strange humans? I mean....... what is that?" Sky
asked as she looked past Kynight and Eolian.
Everyone turned to see, what looked like winged humans rush towards them.
Kynight blew air out of her jets and began to lift off the ground. Eolian turned to Sky
and Lark as they began to take to the air as well. Eolian then ran into the ship, hoping
to get as much information about the creatures heading towards them.
Kynight quickly transformed into her jet mode and hit her afterburners, flying
towards the winged human. Before she knew it Kynight had pasted the beings totally.
There was terrible screeching from the being as Kynight transformed and moved towards
them. Sky and Lark were on the other side. They gave off a sense of dread and
loathing, but were beautiful formed woman who had ravaged faces. One came towards
Kynight with her talons out stretched. The creature hit Kynight's metal body with a loud
bang. The winged females screamed in fear as their companion crashed to the ground
below.
* * *
Raggletag jump up and pulled his gun from sub-space as he feel a great feeling
of angry rise up in him. It took Raggletag an Earth second to realize it was not him
having these feeling, but Kynight. Surprised that he could feel her angry at such a
direction Raggletag sat back down on the bed, and turned towards the window, staring
at the collector moon. The feeling had disappeared as quickly as it had come and left
a great feeling of change, something had happened, something not bad, but not good
either.
Raggletag put his gun back into sub-space and got up, going to the boys room.
Looking in, Raggletag smiled and thought of Kynight's request for him to find Screamer,
not to much progress had been made, knowing he couldn't get back to sleep Raggletag
left the children's room and decided to go to the study and work on finding Screamer for
Kynight. He missed his mate, but knew that Primus was a demanding boss and she
had a job to do. Raggletag sat down at Kynight's desk and thought of ways to get
Kynight a couple of personal days off from the job as he started to track down
Screamer.
* * *
"What the hell is is?" Lark asked as they all landed, watching the other
creatures fly in all directions. Sky poked the fallen creature, and make a very sad
sound.
"Dead, isn't it?" Kynight asked as she bent over and picked up the creature by
a leg. Shaking her head, Kynight place the dead being in her other hand and took off
towards the ship.
Eolian ran out as Kynight reached the ship with a medical bag. Kynight shook
her head, the creature was only flesh and blood, not metal and pay a terrible price for
it's mistake.
"Eolian, let us examine this being and see what the computer says, I know it
really isn't right, but we need more information about this place and I don't know how
else to get it." Kynight said as she moved into the ship with Sky and Lark behind her.
Eolian optics darken in remorse as she followed, closing up the ship behind her.
* * *
"What are we to do!?" Aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty asked as her
husband, Hephaestus, the god of fire and smithy enter the room.
"The people are saying that these being are a new breed of Titan." Herphaestus
announced as he sat down beside his wife. The room erupted into gasps, a cries of
scared gods and goddess.
"Silence!' Zeru screamed as he got up and pounded the table. The room
became still as all eyes turn to Zeru.
"If these being are Titan then they can be killed! We must call on Gaea, the
mother of Titans! The great Earth mother herself, she will know how to kill these
beings!" Zeru ordered, "In the mean time, Eris! Ares! You are a Goddess and God of
war, slow these Titans down by any mean you can! Call out what demons and beast you
need to help."
With that Zeru disappeared in a flash. The other Gods soon did the same, save
Ares, and Eris, the goddess of discord and strife. Looking at each other, they both
shook their heads, how to stop Titans?
* * *
"Harpies? What the ..... but that is...... I don't..... " Eolian muttered as the
screen bought forth it hypothesis on the creature they had bought in.
"Computer tell us one more time what you found." Kynight ordered as she
rubbed her head feeling a pulse go through her central CPU.
"In Greek mythology Harpies: They are variously described but a sense of dread
and loathing permeates all the descriptions. They seem to have been winged women of
beautiful form and ravaged face. They had talons like an eagle and were extremely ill-
tempered. Their chief employer was Hades, the God of the underworld, who sent them
to bear away by force and bring to Tartarus those who were unwilling to die. But they
also did vengeful errand for the other Greek Gods. " The computer said as Kynight
stopped it.
"Mythology? Ladies, I fear we have been had. Primus had done a royal number
on us. Computer, please find the Ark? Or the life signs of those Transformers that
crashed here some time ago?" Kynight asked, she needed to have a base to work on,
and all these strange being, with these strange powers. How could humans get such
power? Kynight paused, humans with powers like that.....
"Computer! Hypothesis, how can human get such an huge amount of power and
live so long? These are Gods as legend say, could it be connected to any Transformers
technology?" Kynight asked as she lend over the command board.
Eolian nearly screamed as she jumped up and ran to the command board.
Kynight jumped back in shock and Sky and Lark jumped away from Eolian in surprise.
"I have found Transformer's life signs, along with a huge construct in the air
above the Ark." The computer responded. Eolian plugged in and jumped around in her
seat with excitement.
"The Lady genius must got something... " Lark said to Sky as she elbowed her.
"Damn right I do! Head masters! Power master! Bonding with a Transformer has
many good points! One being longer lives, but the power thing got me." Eolian
announced as she bought up files on assorted masters.
"Oh, no..... ladies we got company again.... " Kynight sighed as huge armies of
human, and human type creatures appeared on the screen. A collective sigh filled the
bridge.
"Oh....... and I think I just figured it out.... Primus gift? The Storm Orb? Power? I
remember a story Primus told me once of a special Transformer he made and infused
with the power of the storm..... could these human be using it?" Kynight moaned as she
saw the screen being filled with more armies, some flying creatures also.
"I hate him.... " Eolian said as her face plate took on the hardest look. Sky and
Lark moaned as they thought of ways to get back at Primus for getting them into this
mess.
"Couldn't be that easy?" Kynight said as arrow came flying at the ship, Eolian
put on the shields as she got up.
"I doubt it, but lets go look. Computer, defense mode, and repair mode." Eolian
said as she headed towards the door muttered about finding a way to kill a God. Sky
and Lark quickly asked Eolian if it could be done. Kynight chuckled to herself as he
companion began to plot Primus' end.
* * *
"This isn't working!" Eris screamed in frustration as Ares called for the army of
dragons to let loose their fiery breath upon the Titans. As the flames poured around the
ship's force shield, Eolian came flying through the flames in jet mode and made a sharp
turn left, right behind her was Sky, Lark, and Kynight all in jet mode.

Kynight felt the portal move around her as she closed her optics, due to the high
lights she turned off her audio sensors for the sound screamed against her. Kynight
didn't think she could take anymore as suddenly she was set free.
Looking around Kynight was surprised to she see she was standing in the spot

Kynight was upset not to see her new sister, Screamer.
"Raggletag....... " Kynight whisper to herself as she transformed into her
Decepticon self and rose to the skies.
Primus watched Kynight moved toward the Manor as he thought of the next
assignment he had for her. "Ah, well, it can wait till morning. Ha, she is going to be
surprised when she finds out that no time has pasted here. Hahahaha!"
Primus disappeared as a slight yawn escaped his metallic lips.
* * *
Kynight sighed as she landed and walked toward the Manor. Something was
different in her. Screamer's bite was changing her, and other things done to her by the
gods. (See Stories- Dirty Deed, Lighting never strikes twice and Hidden Agenda.)
"I'm just a damn tool to them." Kynight whispered as she turned on the last step
and sat down. The universe weighted heavily on her soul at this moment in time.
Losing some much and gaining other things, was it worth it. Would time .... Kynight
thought were interrupted as Raggletag opened the door.
"Going to stay out there all night?" Raggletag asked his mate as he came to the
steps and sat beside her.
Turning to her love, Kynight, found her strength return. Raggletag looked at his
mate, and knew something had happened. Something not good. Kynight took out
Primus' gift, the bow of transformation.
"What is this?" Raggletag asked as he took the bow.
"A gift of Primus, he sent me to get it. I was gone for a least a month, and yet
nothing here has changed." Kynight said as she moved next to her mate. Raggletag
put his arm around Kynight as he tried not to snarl. Kynight was always running, never
stopping, always doing.
"Raggletag, I meant someone..... not that kind of someone!!!! Hahahaha... silly...
I love you..... The someone I meant was female." Kynight explained as Raggletag
relaxed, he had given Kynight one of the dirty looks any one could.
"She.... Screamer, is a female Decepticon or was.... before..... Raggletag,
Screamer is a vampire of sorts." Kynight finally said as Raggletag jumped up and stared
at his mate with a slack jaw.
"She didn't..... I mean.... " Raggletag stuttered as Kynight stood up and took his
hands in her own.
"Yes, she did... she bit me... but something else happened.. our fuel mixed and
somehow.... this is strange Raggletag.... I am different.... changing.... and what Unicron
did to me too... it working together... I don't know how yet, but I .... Screamer is also a
cyber-witch... I don't know... maybe my fuel heritage. I don't know... " Kynight cried as
she wrapped her arms around herself.
"It's okay, we'll figure this out together. " Raggletag said as she wrapped his
arms around Kynight. Sighing against his chest as she wrapped her arms around
Raggletag, Kynight smiled, this is why she continued. This is why she existed.
* * *
Kynight watched as Raggletag took the children and left for the temple of
Primus, to return the Bow.
Sighing to herself, Kynight transformed into her car mode and began to make her
way toward her office.
Suddenly, without notice, Primus appeared in front of Kynight. Hitting her brakes
Kynight just missed hitting Primus.
"What the hell do you want?" Kynight said as she transformed into her robot
mode.
"I have another assignment for you, my dear..... you will need back up of this
one.... but don't worry it shouldn't.... KYNIGHT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING??" Primus
screamed as Kynight quickly turned into her Decepticon form and took to the skies.
Thanks the fates she was both Autobot and Decepticon. Flying was one thing that
came in handy and well, driving was relaxing..

"Hey, Kynight!" Eolian called out as she entered her cousin's office. To her
surprise the room was dark and quiet.
"Kynight?" Eolian called a little softer as she reach for the light sensor.
"Don't...... I'm trying to hid here." Kynight whispered as Eolian froze in place.
"Uh, hid from who?" Eolian questioned as she move forward letting the door
close behind her.
"Primus, of course." Kynight answered as Eolian rounded the desk and saw
Kynight underneath it.
"He on the prowl again?" Eolian asked as she sat down, looking amused.
"What and I hid under my desk for my good health?" Kynight restored with
flustered sigh. Eolian began to chuckled as she noticed Kynight's sleeping gear.
"Eolian, he is driving me crazy! He wants me to go on another mission for him
and I just got back from one.... oh, sorry.... I forgot that time didn't move here while I
was gone." Kynight sniffed to Eolian confused look.
"OH! No, you mean... uh.. that guy..... Jeez! Kynight! I nearly forgot Kylord
reported some strange reading and I thought we better check them out?" Eolian said.
Kynight rose up as she gave Eolian a look.
"You should have something early. I just bet that it is Primus though.. he never
gives up." Kynight cried as she pulled Eolian up out of the chair and towards the door.
"Be careful. He's around somewhere." Kynight said as she peaked out of the
door. Eolian did her best to refrain herself from laughing out loud. Kynight bolted out of
the door and began to run down the hall with Eolian right behind her.
"HELLO LADIES!" Primus boomed out, he'd been lying in wait around the corner
for them.
"Oh, great...." Eolian muttered as she took in Primus' form. He was handsome,
no doubt, but he ruined it by standing with his back against the wall, his arms folded,
and his ankles crossed. Oh, as hot as he looked, he spoiled it by his, 'I'm all that look
and stands.'
Kynight started gagging and looking like a fish out of water.
"AH! Kynight, what is wrong?" Eolian cried startled, because she looked ill
suddenly.
Primus frowned, " Kynight you know that you must retrieved my gifts for me! I
had a ship program with the coordinated for you. Sky and Lark are also ready. Ur, I'll
catch you a little later... when you return."
With that Primus disappeared as Raggletag came running around the corner.
"Kynight! You okay? I felt like someone punched me and knew that you were
ill." Raggletag said as he bent down looking at his mate.
"I'm okay... Primus is stalking me.... I have to go and get his gift... he already got
a ship ready for me." Kynight said with a sigh as she began to look normal. Eolian shook
her head in confusion.
"Eolian, I want you to go with Kynight. Oh, the last trip for Primus, Kynight was
bitten by a vampire and things are happening to her.." Raggletag ordered.
"VAMPIRE!!!???" Eolian screamed as her jaw fell open.
"Yes, Screamer, she is my fuel sister and I wanted to find out what dimension
she is from so I can bring her here. She is ..... she is special to me... Raggletag?"
Kynight asked as her face showed the pain she fell no having her sister with her.
"I understand... go and get Primus' gift and I will start to look for Screamer's
dimension. Hey, the kids will love to get their hands dirty! Getting the information,
without Slee finding out! Hahaha, the kids will love it!" Raggletag laughed as he
embraced his mate. He hated to see her go, but knew it was her job, "Just come back
soon..... I miss you already."
Kynight frowned as she hugged Raggletag back with a pump wrenching
sadness. Eolian turned her head, she didn't need to see any of that stuff.
Kynight frown deepen, boy she did feel ill... what if something was really wrong
with her?
"Cough... cough.... " Eolian said as looked at them with one optic.
"Okay.... Okay.... I'm coming." Kynight said with a sigh, giving Raggletag a
quick kiss, she moved on. Raggletag sighed as he watched his mate, and Eolian leave,
he was lonely already.
Primus watched from the darkness as Kynight left Raggletag presence. She was
on her way to retrieve his Storm Orb. Primus wondered a moment if he should have told
Kynight of the powers in the orb or the danger.... but then Primus shrugged his shoulder,
she shouldn't have any trouble, and if she left the orb alone and just brought it back
then it would be okay.
* * *
"Eolian, I'm not showing anything here." Lark said as she cursed. Having
jumped dimensions and finding nothing, everyone was one edge.
"The gate opened... let me do a micro scan." Eolian said as she re-configured
the computer.
Kynight frowned she felt terrible, like her insides where re-writing themselves
without her permission.
"Wait a second....." Eolian began as the ship suddenly rocked as a portal
opened and began to suck them in.
"Where the hell did that portal come from??!!" Sky screamed as she tried to gain
control of the ship.
"It's no use, we're going it!" Eolian screamed as the ship went to warp.
* * *
Kynight grabbed her tank as felt everything begin to rise within it. The only other
time this had happened was when she was pregnancy with the boys.
"Kynight!" Eolian screamed as she saw what was happening.
"I'm okay, Eolian." Kynight said as she wipe the back of her hand over her
mouth.
"What in the pits!" Sky screamed as she stared at the screen.
"I got power reading off the scale!" Lark called as their ship drifted toward the
planet.
"The ship is slow in responding, we need to get her down, now!" Eolian ordered
in a loud voice.
"Incoming!" Lark yelled as an unknown bolt of energy reached up from the
planet below and attacked them. The ship rocked back and fro as light flashed around
the control bridge.
Kynight tightening her face plate as she grabbed the side of her chair pulling
herself up, her head was pounding.
"Get us down! We've sitting retro-ducks!" Kynight yelled as she planted her rear-
end down in her chair.
"It's going to be a bumpy ride! Buckle down!" Eolian yelled as she took her seat.
The ship began to turn towards the planet below as another bolt of energy hit the ship.
Kynight heard Eolian yelling as she began to black out. The pain had increased to
unbearable levels.
* * *
Hera looked at her husband as he threw another thunder bolt at the sky.
"Well, did you success?" Hera asked her husband as the Zeru looked at the
sky. The other gods; Poseidon, Apollo, Artmis, Aprodite, Athena, Ares, and Hades
stared at the sky looking for these new attackers that the Fates claimed would steal
their powers.
"I can not tell if that beast is still there or not. It has seemed to disappeared and
if they have survive then we are still in danger." Zeru proclaimed, as father of the world.
"I suggest we sent out scouts, looking for these stranger." Athena said as she
nodding to her sister Artemis, the goddess of the hunt.
"We can sent our followers out first to do battle, and then we can clean up what
ever is left." Apollo, concerned that this prophecy will hold true.
"Agreed." Poseidon, the Sea God said as he moved to communication with his
followers.
* * *
(Some time has past.)
"Kynight?" Eolian whispered as she gently shook her. Light, unbearable bright
light entered Kynight field of vision.
"Kynight?" Eolian asked again, staring wide opticed at her.
"Yeah." Kynight muttered in a voice that was so unlike her that it took Kynight a
few second to realize it was her that spoke.
"You okay? Your energy levels are going nuts, and your energon has changed
colors." Eolian whispered, alarmed by these new changes that she couldn't explain.
"Hey, everything fine, what happened?" Kynight asked as she began to feel an
unknown urge crawl into her tank.
"Well, we crashed, but not to bad, Sky and Lark are working on repairs, and I
have scanned the area. It seems to be mostly humanoid creatures, though I have
picked up other being, some being dragon like, or with feathers, some even our size.
The power levels on this planet run strange. Kynight, parts of this planet seem alive. I
have also found huge power sources that maybe the Gift that Primus wants us to return.
Though, I am unsure. Once here I check the computer, and found a file on Primus'
Storm Orb, seems that is what we are after." Eolian said slowly as she watched Kynight
carefully for any sudden changes.
"Great.... Eolian what is this? Looks like an army coming this way?" Kynight
asked as she looked at the screen, showing a huge number of life forms on there way
towards them.
Suddenly Lark came running into the bridge with Sky right behind her.
"We got bad new! There is an army of human on their way here." Lark yelled as
Sky pointed at the screen.
"An army? What kind? Can you give me a reading?" Kynight asked as Eolian
rushed to the computer and plugged in.
"We do got a huge number of humanoid coming this way....... wait a ... Kynight I
am not picking up any power level though. No kinds of weapons that I can detect."
Eolian said as she gave her companions one confused look.
Kynight paused and then muttered and shook her head, 'just what has Primus
gotta us into.' Kynight moved towards the door still muttering about Primus.
* * *
Velaca, a warrior of Athena pulled her warriors to a stop in front of a large gray
object. This had to be what the Gods were after.
"Priestess! Call to the Gods we have found what they are after." Velaca ordered
as she raised her sword and began to move forward. Just then, part of the object
began to fall to the ground.
"Scattered!" Velaca yelled as everyone ran, incase another part of the object
would fall off.
Kynight watched as humans ran about, and then sighed, moving forwards she
came down off the entrance ramp and set foot on the ground. Velaca's mouth opened
and her eyes grew large as she stared at the giant being coming out of the object.
"HUMAN!" The first of the large being said as three other soon joined it. Velaca
looked at the creature, a bit larger then Giants, but... could they be? Titans?
Athena appeared in a golden light near Velaca, to hear a voice say, "HEY! That
one just appeared! Her power reading are way higher then the other humans!"
Kynight gave Eolian a glance to see her pointing at Athena who was mouth
dropped open staring at them.
"Well, what have we here?" Came a new voice, as Ares the God of War
appeared, "Looks like we have unwelcomed visitors."
Other Gods and Goddess appeared as Athena threw one of Zeru's thunder bolts
at Kynight. Kynight felt the her body respond by changing forms and the urge to devour,
finally let it's self be known. Without realizing it, Kynight absorbed the lighting bolt into
her wings which had turn as black as Unicron's soul. Eolian screamed as she watched
Kynight change before her, growing fangs and turning dark.
Kynight heard Eolian's scream but the urge to consume was too much, and she
moved towards the Gods. Zeru screamed a battle cry as he began to throw bolts of
energy at Kynight. The Gods as a whole began to throw huge amount of power at
Kynight. Kynight remain still and let her body absorb what it need, and thought of
Screamer's bit that had seemingly gave her the ability to absorb energy. The benefit
was excellent, any enemy fire that was thrown at her, she could just absorb into her
body. Though, it also might lead to a few neck bits. This new ability must be use
carefully, so no one would get hurt.
"It is no use, we must escape!" Hades yelled as he disappeared ,the other Gods
soon followed suit.
Sky and Lark were beside Eolian, who was near hysterics, as Kynight turned and
caught a glance at herself in the side of the ship. What she saw was something out of
the old tales that surround Unicron. Her wings looked like the night's sky, though her
body looked the same it seemed to have a move seductive look to it. Her optics seems
to call, to draw in and the fangs. Kynight study herself a while and decided that this
look had to go. Calling up her memories from when she was with Screamer, Kynight
began to change herself. Pulling her fangs in, making her wings solid, and stopping the
magnetize force that surround her.
"Eolian? I am back to normal now. You can clam down." Kynight said as she
walked over to her cousin.
"What the hell is going on?" Sky asked, as Eolian whimpered about flesh eating
human.
"Ugh, not sure about flesh eating? Maybe that is just a human thing, but I seem
to need to absorb energy now. You see, I was bitten by a Transformer vampire, not a
human one. Her name is Screamer and she is now my fuel sister, Raggletag is looking
for her as we speak. But I guess lucky for me, that Unicron had change me somewhat,
and I can absorb energy through my wings, and I can bite too, but I am hoping to use
this to Paix average. Eolian, can you image, while we are in battle I can absorb the
blast energy and save our side any extra damage." Kynight said as she bent down on
her knees and looked Eolian in the optic at her level.
Eolian mind began to race as old fears and her scientist mind clashed. Eolian
looked at her cousin, and slowly smiled. No matter what would happened, Kynight
would always be Kynight, her best friend.
"You scared the hell out of me... " Eolian cried as she let Kynight help her to her
feet. Sky and Lark watched as the two hugged each other, wondering what else would
happen to them at this point.
"Uumm, what about those strange humans? I mean....... what is that?" Sky
asked as she looked past Kynight and Eolian.
Everyone turned to see, what looked like winged humans rush towards them.
Kynight blew air out of her jets and began to lift off the ground. Eolian turned to Sky
and Lark as they began to take to the air as well. Eolian then ran into the ship, hoping
to get as much information about the creatures heading towards them.
Kynight quickly transformed into her jet mode and hit her afterburners, flying
towards the winged human. Before she knew it Kynight had pasted the beings totally.
There was terrible screeching from the being as Kynight transformed and moved towards
them. Sky and Lark were on the other side. They gave off a sense of dread and
loathing, but were beautiful formed woman who had ravaged faces. One came towards
Kynight with her talons out stretched. The creature hit Kynight's metal body with a loud
bang. The winged females screamed in fear as their companion crashed to the ground
below.
* * *
Raggletag jump up and pulled his gun from sub-space as he feel a great feeling
of angry rise up in him. It took Raggletag an Earth second to realize it was not him
having these feeling, but Kynight. Surprised that he could feel her angry at such a
direction Raggletag sat back down on the bed, and turned towards the window, staring
at the collector moon. The feeling had disappeared as quickly as it had come and left
a great feeling of change, something had happened, something not bad, but not good
either.
Raggletag put his gun back into sub-space and got up, going to the boys room.
Looking in, Raggletag smiled and thought of Kynight's request for him to find Screamer,
not to much progress had been made, knowing he couldn't get back to sleep Raggletag
left the children's room and decided to go to the study and work on finding Screamer for
Kynight. He missed his mate, but knew that Primus was a demanding boss and she
had a job to do. Raggletag sat down at Kynight's desk and thought of ways to get
Kynight a couple of personal days off from the job as he started to track down
Screamer.
* * *
"What the hell is is?" Lark asked as they all landed, watching the other
creatures fly in all directions. Sky poked the fallen creature, and make a very sad
sound.
"Dead, isn't it?" Kynight asked as she bent over and picked up the creature by
a leg. Shaking her head, Kynight place the dead being in her other hand and took off
towards the ship.
Eolian ran out as Kynight reached the ship with a medical bag. Kynight shook
her head, the creature was only flesh and blood, not metal and pay a terrible price for
it's mistake.
"Eolian, let us examine this being and see what the computer says, I know it
really isn't right, but we need more information about this place and I don't know how
else to get it." Kynight said as she moved into the ship with Sky and Lark behind her.
Eolian optics darken in remorse as she followed, closing up the ship behind her.
* * *
"What are we to do!?" Aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty asked as her
husband, Hephaestus, the god of fire and smithy enter the room.
"The people are saying that these being are a new breed of Titan." Herphaestus
announced as he sat down beside his wife. The room erupted into gasps, a cries of
scared gods and goddess.
"Silence!' Zeru screamed as he got up and pounded the table. The room
became still as all eyes turn to Zeru.
"If these being are Titan then they can be killed! We must call on Gaea, the
mother of Titans! The great Earth mother herself, she will know how to kill these
beings!" Zeru ordered, "In the mean time, Eris! Ares! You are a Goddess and God of
war, slow these Titans down by any mean you can! Call out what demons and beast you
need to help."
With that Zeru disappeared in a flash. The other Gods soon did the same, save
Ares, and Eris, the goddess of discord and strife. Looking at each other, they both
shook their heads, how to stop Titans?
* * *
"Harpies? What the ..... but that is...... I don't..... " Eolian muttered as the
screen bought forth it hypothesis on the creature they had bought in.
"Computer tell us one more time what you found." Kynight ordered as she
rubbed her head feeling a pulse go through her central CPU.
"In Greek mythology Harpies: They are variously described but a sense of dread
and loathing permeates all the descriptions. They seem to have been winged women of
beautiful form and ravaged face. They had talons like an eagle and were extremely ill-
tempered. Their chief employer was Hades, the God of the underworld, who sent them
to bear away by force and bring to Tartarus those who were unwilling to die. But they
also did vengeful errand for the other Greek Gods. " The computer said as Kynight
stopped it.
"Mythology? Ladies, I fear we have been had. Primus had done a royal number
on us. Computer, please find the Ark? Or the life signs of those Transformers that
crashed here some time ago?" Kynight asked, she needed to have a base to work on,
and all these strange being, with these strange powers. How could humans get such
power? Kynight paused, humans with powers like that.....
"Computer! Hypothesis, how can human get such an huge amount of power and
live so long? These are Gods as legend say, could it be connected to any Transformers
technology?" Kynight asked as she lend over the command board.
Eolian nearly screamed as she jumped up and ran to the command board.
Kynight jumped back in shock and Sky and Lark jumped away from Eolian in surprise.
"I have found Transformer's life signs, along with a huge construct in the air
above the Ark." The computer responded. Eolian plugged in and jumped around in her
seat with excitement.
"The Lady genius must got something... " Lark said to Sky as she elbowed her.
"Damn right I do! Head masters! Power master! Bonding with a Transformer has
many good points! One being longer lives, but the power thing got me." Eolian
announced as she bought up files on assorted masters.
"Oh, no..... ladies we got company again.... " Kynight sighed as huge armies of
human, and human type creatures appeared on the screen. A collective sigh filled the
bridge.
"Oh....... and I think I just figured it out.... Primus gift? The Storm Orb? Power? I
remember a story Primus told me once of a special Transformer he made and infused
with the power of the storm..... could these human be using it?" Kynight moaned as she
saw the screen being filled with more armies, some flying creatures also.
"I hate him.... " Eolian said as her face plate took on the hardest look. Sky and
Lark moaned as they thought of ways to get back at Primus for getting them into this
mess.
"Couldn't be that easy?" Kynight said as arrow came flying at the ship, Eolian
put on the shields as she got up.
"I doubt it, but lets go look. Computer, defense mode, and repair mode." Eolian
said as she headed towards the door muttered about finding a way to kill a God. Sky
and Lark quickly asked Eolian if it could be done. Kynight chuckled to herself as he
companion began to plot Primus' end.
* * *
"This isn't working!" Eris screamed in frustration as Ares called for the army of
dragons to let loose their fiery breath upon the Titans. As the flames poured around the
ship's force shield, Eolian came flying through the flames in jet mode and made a sharp
turn left, right behind her was Sky, Lark, and Kynight all in jet mode.
