Sunny Days

On the beautiful planet of Sa'toria, located somewhere in the endless void of space, the blue skies shone. The single sun bathed the planet in its warm, glowing light. The rolling green hills hosted the youth of the species, happily playing on and in the long, rich grass. Creatures chirped in the trees of the sunny forests and dragons glided among the peaks of the tallest spires and mountains. It was hard to imagine that their world would be turned upside down in only a matter of hours. Below the sky scraping mountains and towers, in the draconic city Savis, a large security building serves as the military compound. The thick, iron door panels slid open and a patrol of seven dragons emerged.

The lead dragon hosted black metal scales that covered her mechanical body. She was muscular and strong, radiating brutal strength. Her blazing crimson orange eyes swept the ground and sky, looking for a sign of danger. After an hour of patrolling her sector, she stopped and turned in the air, speaking.

"All right team. The general just comm'ed. Says we're done for the day." She growled. "Says they're picking up no signs of dangerous activity in the atmosphere or surrounding space. We're not facing any danger today." She finished.

A relieved sigh came from the other six.

"But!" she barked. A groan followed. Here came the big 'but'. "You must stay sharp at all times. Never, ever truly relax. You heard what happened to Cybertron. And for all we know, Sa'toria could be the next target. Am I clear?" Her eyes darted from one robotic dragon to another. All of them made a noise of acknowledgement. "Good. Now get back to base, report in, sign off and get back home." She ordered.

Her final command was met with a rigid, 'Yes Captain'. The six dark coloured dragons looped and tore back to base before she changed her mind and make them stay out longer. The sky Captain snorted, watching them leave, and then activated her comm-link.

"~Flare to Burn-out. Do you copy~?"

Static filled her head and she growled in annoyance. Her species were not known for their patience. A few second passed and Burn-out responded.

"~Burn-out to Flare. I copy. What do you need~?"

"~I've sent the squad back to base. I'm headed home. Sign off for me. I can't be bothered today~." Flare's words were met with a sigh and silence followed.

"~All right Flare~."Burn-out said a few seconds later. "~I'll sign out for you, but only if you let me come over after my shift. I really want to see the egg!~" Burn-out could barely contain the excitement in her voice. Flare hissed softly. She didn't really want anyone to see her one and only egg. But if it meant that she didn't have to go back to base, then it should be worth it.

"~Fine! But only for a second. And you are not touching it. Not even a claw-tip~." Flare snarled. But it seemed the higher military officer's mood couldn't be dampened.

"~Cool, cool, cool!~" Burn-out squealed happily. "~I'll see you in a couple of hour's time. Bye, Burn-out out~". The comm crackled and turned to static, telling Flare that the officer she was now offline.

Sighing softly to herself, Flare wheeled in the air and soared to her home. To her sparkmate. To her egg.

(#One Hour Later#)

Flare lay flopped on the living-room couch, exhausted. Her sparkmate, Windbreak, looked down at her with worried eyes. He sighed.

"Flare," He started, but paused, trying to find the right words. "Are you quite sure that you don't overwork yourself? I mean, I know you're a seether and that means that you possess immense power but you have a limit. You know that right?" Windbreak spoke out of pure concern and worry but Flare didn't want to hear it.

"Windbreak," Flare warned in a severe tone. "I hear your worry and concern but this is my duty and my job. It means I have to be strong and indestructible," She insisted. Windbreak sighed again crouching by her head, cupping her head in his claws.

"I know that. But as I said before, there is a limit and if you over step that limit I have to step in." Windbreak's azure blue eyes bore into her crimson orange pair. "You keep coming back exhausted. I mean, you didn't even have enough energy to fly back to base. It pains me to see you this way."

"I know but that was different. I couldn't be bothered to..." Flare started to protest but was cut off by her sparkmate.

"Because you're exhausted Flare! You can't keep doing this and protect an egg." He countered. Flare flinched and recoiled like she was physically struck. "Yeah, I thought so. You're overworking. Sleep, I'll guard the egg." His words were not a suggestion but an order.

Windbreak let her head go, nuzzling her long neck that rippled with muscle plates under the metal scales, and stalked over to the nest that the egg sat in. Flare was silent for a while, her burning eyes half closed whilst staring at the egg and her sparkmate. Flare could feel the hum of worry coming of him through the bond. After about half an hour of silence, she spoke through that sparkbond.

"Umm, Windbreak?" Flare whispered hesitantly.

"Hmm?" He murmured back, turning his gaze from their egg to look at her from his place lying curled around the nest.

"Uh, in order for me to come home without having to go back to base I kind of had to promise Burn-out that she could come over at the end of her shift to see the egg." She said softly. "And she'll be here any minute." Flare graced herself with the look of guilt.

Her words were met with a frustrated sigh. "No. She can't come today. You are too tired." He snapped, rubbing his eyes, whilst his long robotic tongue flicked gracefully through his sharp, metal teeth.

Sure enough, at that moment, a sharp knock sounded in the entry. But their eyes did not snap in the direction of the door but to the egg in the nest. It was bucking and rocking, startled by the sudden noise and judging by the time the two sparkmates had been in their own eggs, it was alarmed by the new presence. While a sparkling was in its egg, it would become accustomed to only one female and one male, its mother and father. Any new dragons would startle the sparkling and fear would lace through the bond it shared with its parents, causing the parents to enter gladiator mode. This particular egg had never, ever come in contact with another of its kind.

As Windbreak stood up to answer the door, Flare lunged at him, pinning him down to ground, growling deep in her thought. Energon dripped from her open, snarling jaws. Her tail lashed ferociously, smashing the walls and beating the ground. Her wings were held half open and high, a very threatening and primal position. Her eyes had darkened to an dark blood red. Windbreak forced himself to stay calm, to breathe and not panic. He knew exactly what had happened. When he stood up, he was about to leave the egg unguarded, which was a foolish move considering that Flare was already on the verge of entering gladiator mode from the distress the sparkling had sent subconsciously through the bond.

"Flare, you need to calm down. I know it was a foolish move but I wasn't thinking straight. Now can you hop off me so I can answer the door?" He asked. Flare blinked a few times before her eyes cleared and returned to normal. Her jaw closed, her tail stopped lashing and her wings slumped and drooped. Flare was breathing hard. Quickly she scrambled off Windbreak.

She then started stuttering, horrified that she had just attacked her sparkmate. "I...I'm sorry. I just..."

Windbreak watched her stutter with gentle eyes. True, he was terrified, but only because she was a seether and she could either char him to a black husk, or crush him with her superior strength. "I guess this is why they don't encourage cross-breeding", he thought. "Flare, stop." Windbreak reached up with a claw to gently stroke her jaw line. She flinched away, disliking being touched on the jaw. "Half of your reaction was my fault and I apologies..." He whispered reassuringly, but Flare raised a claw for him to stop.

"Shall I answer the door or will you?"

And that's that. I hope you enjoyed it. I'd love it if you could review.

Until next time, Skylar.
