Okay, this is one of the main reasons I haven't been updating most of my stories, over a year ago I wrote the original for this, however, after I began publishing it I realised how bad it was, so now, I've rewritten basically everything, only a few tiny things are left similar and even then they're only minor. It has basically stolen all of my writing energy, only a few other stories are getting attention, and even then it's only a small amount.

Anyway, anything you haven't seen in the show or franchise is mine, so my Oc's and the Titan's themselves, well, nothing else to say other than this is a kind of introduction chapter, as in, most of this story will occur in present time. Now then, on with the chapter, hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

Optimus Prime released a small vent as he looked down at his adoptive creation, the little bundle of blues chirping and nipping at the servo he had offered her. This was one of the few times he could see her, she was for the most part being kept safe inside of this bunker for her own protection, the adopted creation of the Prime was a great title, but also a curse.

Aurora for the most part seemed oblivious to the war, Alpha Trion gave her to him only a few vorns before the beginning of the war. She was such a tiny thing, barely the size of his servo. Her egg had been even smaller, she was growing but at an alarmingly slow rate. Three vorns to him was one to her, Alpha Trion had told him it was recorded that was simply the life span they lived.

That is from what the fossils told them.

Those colossal structures once considered formations of the land on distant and barely explored planets, now seen as the petrified remains of a colossal universe wide extinction, of likely one of the oldest and certainly the largest species ever known.

No one knew why her kind, the Titans as they were called, died out, trillions of years before Primus even created their own race. Some blamed a lack of food source, others disease, some being that Primus had grown weary and had ended them to prevent the universe from being destroyed.

So it had come as the greatest shock when a petrified egg had been found, with a living foetus inside. That egg having hatched, in Orion Pax's servos after being given to him to be held whilst they'd been cleaning the cabinet the egg was being kept in for its own safety. Seventy nine vorns after its discovery under a petrified female Titan, the colours of the adult Titan where unknown, but the missing front left limb and countless massive chunks taken out of it suggested it was killed in a brutal battle for survival, and that egg was its spawn.

The egg had previously refused to hatch; no method could get the creature to emerge. And yet, simply holding the tiny egg, the ZNA proving its species, caused the hatching of the rarest species in the universe. The last living Titan.

It was for that reason that he had taken her in, a fake egg taking her place so none would know what had happened. The risk of her being poached and killed as a hatchling too great a risk.

And so as the little femme now played with his servo, Optimus was forced to think of the future of the little femme, not only her but the possibility of continuing the ancient species.

"Chirp?" He looked down at the tiny thing, all four paws on the ground, her long neck and streamlined helm tilted just slightly to the left, large crystal blue liquid orbs staring into his mechanical ones. Her tiny wings fluttered slightly, the little Titan fluttering them out and stretching, she was not far away from learning how to fly,

At least he hoped, no one really knew how to raise them, Ratchet, one of the few others who knew of her existence, had told them that upon scanning her internals found instead of tanks, she had a furnace like organ, burning hotter than even the sun their war torn planet orbited. Anything, metal, Energon, coolant. All of it could be used for fuel.

He tried to give her a reassuring smile, but the thoughts playing his processor made it look forced.

Then she did something he had never seen her do before, stretching her long, flexible neck out towards him, the electric blue feathers which ran down her neck, between her wings and to the end of her tail where a small cluster of spikes laid, began to ruffle, creating an almost chiming like sound, one that reached his audios and actually began to soothe the high levels of stress being a Prime came with.

"What's wrong Opimus?"

He jumped at the soft sweet voice which had filled his helm, the voice rang slightly and seemed to be filled with childhood innocence. Then his optics locked onto the tiny thread of light connecting himself and the tiny ball of blues in front of him.

"Aurora?" She'd never done this before, and for all intents and purposes was far too young it seemed for speech.

"The war's getting worse isn't it?" She asked, making the Prime real back, how did she know?

She seemed to hear the unspoken question.

"I have good hearing, I can hear it all, the gunshots, the screams of pain and agony, along with the battle cries which turn into death gurgles. It's not fun to listen to, to all the death." Her voice was laden with an almost spiritual wisdom, almost sounding numb to the sounds she spoke of.

Optimus frowned at the new revelation, Aurora, having noticed whimpered, the light linking them beginning to flicker slightly.

"Please don't be mad Opi, I get scared when you're gone and those sounds start up again. I don't like it here Opi. Not at all." She shook her head, the cluster of small silver horns behind her small helm flicking and clacking together as she did so, compared to the rest of her frame, her head was very small, resembling something along the lines of a neon snake, yet more pointed than their triangular helms, the was also a small curve in her skull meaning it looked like her olfactory sensors where more pointed, making her look to him, incredibly cute for a little reptile.

Optimus' faceplates melded into a soft smile as he carefully picked her off the ground and to his chassis, his spark purred quietly as she nuzzled into the warm metal.

Then just like that, the light link shattered, tiny crystals of light falling to the ground and disappearing.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this little one. I will fix this, I promise." She nodded her helm minutely, rubbing up against him and purring happily.

They were able to stay like that only for a small amount of time before the mech received an urgent com-link from the front lines.

"Prime! Cons are attacking the Praxus Autobot HQ! They're massacring them!" His helm snapped up, then it plummeted back down to the now recharging form he held, it was only a matter of time until she was discovered.

He carefully rose, so not to jostle the tiny thing, he carefully let her down onto the padded berth, one large enough to hold her frame until she grew to a size she would not be able to fit within the base. Alpha Trion had alerted him to the fact that Titan's seemed to have sudden and massive bursts of growth from seemingly nowhere. And the little one was due within the next two orns for her first major growth spurt, how big she would get was unclear to them.

But one day she would be the size of a starship and not even be fully grown still.

He quickly proceeded to leave the bunker, then the base where he transformed into his vehicle and speed towards Praxus. Praying he wasn't too late.

Four cycles later

Aurora whimpered as the sound of explosions came closer, her Opi hadn't come back since she spoke to him, the psyche link having drained her after she'd used it for the first time.

Did she put him off?

"Now hatchling, you are safe." The old bot who came and visited now and then said, she just gave a weak warble, hiding her helm under her paws.

Alpha Trion sighed, he was getting too old for looking after scared sparkling's, or hatchling in this case. So he took in her small form again.

For the most part she looked like a Predacon, only organic, the wings where under developed, almost ready for flight but not yet, most of her body was a light crystal blue, her paws and the vertebrate holding up her wings being a more electric blue, her feathers where the a mix of both, the medium between the two main colours.

She walked on all fours, her neck and tail making up a large portion of her body length. It was amazing really, a living Titan, a chance to see what the ancient species could do. But after consideration they had decided to keep her hatching a secret, something the ancient mech was very glad for.

But now it put them in a dangerous position. If the Decepticons discovered that a Titan hatchling existed, they would not hesitate to converge and destroy all to get their clawed servos on her, they wouldn't hesitate in destroying her very mind and turning her into the ultimate weapon.

And if that were to happen, the war was as good as lost for the Autobots. For it seemed only a Titan or God had the power to destroy another Titan. Something which unless a new egg was found, would be impossible.

It was why he had been speaking to Optimus about the possibilities of getting her off world. Shooting her into space without any set co-ordinates, that way no one could track her, even themselves. But that would mean, the likelihood of ever seeing the hatchling Titan again would be as tiny as finding a sliver of Dark Energon.

It was the very reason he was here now, keeping an optic on the small one. Decepticons were moving in on the area and any type of evacuation would expose her. The bunker had been created under the Crystal city base. Hidden away. But now the base seemed to be the next target.

Optimus was as he sat there, with a heavy spark in both his and his mentors chassis' preparing the escape pod which would send Aurora to the stars.

This was most likely the last time he would ever see the hatchling Titan again.

So with all the care his old and creaky joints allowed, he carefully picked up the tiny thing and held her to his chassis, letting the warmth of his spark soothe her.

"I have to leave don't I?" His helm snapped up, Optimus had informed him of the Psychic link she could apparently perform.

He couldn't lie to her. "Yes little one, it is for your own protection."

"And Opi can't come because he has too much of an important role." The voice which said that was so full of sorrow, it pained the old mechs spark to no end, she was like his grand creation to him, so full of life, yet at the moment so completely lost in her own fears.

"I am afraid so young Aurora, but I assure you one day he will find you, and you will see your Opi again, he's the kind of determined mech which won't give up." He chuckled at that bit.

"Yup, Opi will find me. Love you too grand Opi." His spark filled with love at that and he began carefully stroking the myriad of feathers which exploded out from just beneath her horns, causing the little bundle of scales to purr contently.

"And I you my little grand creation." It was at that point the Optimus entered, worry etched upon his faceplates along with a flood of sadness and remorse. The two mechs looked at one another for a moment.

"She knows what's about to happen." Alpha Trion stated, Optimus just nodded as he knelt down and took the little one out of the ancient's servos and into his sparkling hold, here at least she wouldn't be as easily detected and they would be able to transport her easier.

Without a word the two rose and walked out of the bunker, no longer needed and likely to never be needed again. Their destination was the launch deck within the Iacon hall of records.

Launch Deck

Aurora hoped into the pod without a sound, her spiky tail tapping the outer rim of the oval shaped pod, she looked up to her sire, both knew this might as well be the last time they ever saw one another.

Aurora knew it was wrong, something instinctual telling her to scream, kick, resist being separated, but she knew, deep in her own pulsating furnace that if she stayed, more harm than good would be done, and she could only hope that one day they could reunite.

"Aurora." She looked back up to him, her helm having fallen as her thoughts carried on. "I want to give you something." He pulled out a small crystal from his subspace, it was a brilliant mix of white, red and blue, wrapped around it being a cluster of twisting blue strands, weaving their way around the crystal to hold it, the crystal was then attached to a chain of circular blue plates which interlocked so they could move around one another.

He carefully wrapped it around her neck, the chain and crystal clunking the ground with the length of the crystal. Optimus gave an almost impossible to notice wince as the crystal did, but the ancient noticed and looked at the Prime with a healthy dosing of shock and understanding mixed together.

Aurora just rolled her long neck forwards to be able to see it better, inadvertently only being able to look at it upside down, frowning she began tilting her neck in other directions, trying her hardest to see the crystal, finally after coiling her neck to the left so she was facing in the opposite direction to the rest of her small frame, she was able to get a good look at it, seeing as her optics rested on either side of her helm it was harder than for most for her to look forward, often having to tilt her helm in a different direction so as to look at something helm on.

She gave a happy chirp when she looked back up at them, nuzzling lovingly the servo her Opi offered her.

Then she unlocked her jaws, and bit him.

Optimus gave a small grunt as the blade like dentas took the tip of his smallest digit off, thankfully only taking a bit of the armour which she now held, clenched between her front hatchling fangs.

She placed it down on the royal blue padded bottom of the pod and looked up at her sire.

"Bye Opi, see you soon." With that her tail whipped out and hit the large red button which launched the pod.

He didn't even have time to say good bye before she was jettisoning away towards the stars, already knocked into stasis in the specialised pod.

"See you soon too then my hatchling." Optimus muttered, rubbing the place where she'd taken the tip off his digit. Her own little way of making sure she never forgot him, and for him to end up getting a replacement from Ratchet.

That was going to be interesting to explain.

"Well, we learnt a new thing from her it seemed every cycle… Titans really were a strange bunch." Alpha Trion chuckled as he turned to the current Prime. "Optimus, that piece of your spark was a genius idea by the way. You'll find her, that necklace proves it." The ancient stated, placing his old servo upon the younger mechs servo. "Besides, she knew what was going on, she understands this needed to happen, and there is no way in my processor that she is going to have any ill will against you my friend." The ancient reassured knowing within his spark that the Prime would never of pressed the button, she'd known that and done it herself.

"I know old friend, I know."

Well that's the first chapter done, updates will likely be once every few weeks because the chapters are already becoming quiet long to write. Well, that's all for now, see you soon!
