The Illusion Continues

by Aquaformer

This is set as a sequel to A Prime Illusion. Also done in rp style with my friend from DA.

2. Chapter 2

Meanwhile, Sunny was continuing his paintings when he noticed Rave came into the quarters injured. It wasn't anything major, but Sunny didn't know that, and the young bot raced to the old seeker. "Rave hurt" Sunny said and started trying to find the injuries, not sure what he could do but was willing to do anything.

"Sunny, can you be a dear and go get me a bandage, that will help tremendously" Rave stated in a kind warm manner as he realized his scrape was "bleeding" more than he thought it was. Sunny was eager to help and ran to find a bandage and helped Rave place the bandage. 'Thank you, sport. That helped tremendously."

"I don't like Rave hurt" Sunny said as he made sure the bandage was tight enough.

"It is a minor scrape, sport. It will heal soon. How are your paintings going? Anything new?" Rave asked, not revealing he had another surprise for Sunny just yet. Sunny nodded and got his newest one. It was of Rave and Sides. Rave smiled. "I have a special surprise for you, sport. Would you like it?" Rave asked, knowing his brother and a couple of his brother's offspring were waiting for their cue.

Sunny nodded happily. "I want"

Rave called Darkwing and two of Darkwing's children – a mech and a femme. "Sunny, I know you remember Darkwing and his sparklings, but I brought them here as all three are very talented artist, and I wanted to give you a chance to work with them" Rave stated, hoping Sunny would appreciate the surprise. Darkwing smiled as did the other two, each having been told what was happening by Rave and Sides.

"Would you like to join us?" Darkwing asked, extending a hand to Sunny. Sunny hesitated for a couple minutes before giving Darkwing his hand.

"I'll be by to visit in 20 minutes Sunny, why don't you go find their special room where the create all their paintings" Rave stated, which encouraged Sunny, as he realized Rave wasn't trying to get rid of him, but was trying to encourage his painting skills. Sunny nodded and went with Darkwing and his children.

Twenty minutes later, Rave swung by and was happy to see that Sunny was enjoying himself as he painted away. "How's he doing, bro?" Rave asked his brother, trying not to interrupt Sunny.

"He's doing good Rave, he's really talented" Darkwing said. Rave nodded and smiled, and while he tried to slip out unnoticed, it was too late, as Sunny had already spotted him and was making a beeline for the old seeker. "You've been spotted" Darkwing said chuckling as Sunny practically tackled Rave.

Rave smiled and allowed himself to be knocked down by Sunny, which caused Sunny to laugh even harder, as bright pink paint dripped onto Rave's Black and red frame, causing Sunny, Darkwing, and Rave to laugh even harder. "Ok, ok…you win…if you are ready to go, we can go" Rave said between peals of laughter. And even Darkwing could see the difference in Sunny.

Sunny nodded and kissed Raves cheek. "Hungry." Rave went back with Sunny and both enjoyed some energon.

About a month later, Sunny had grown once again, in addition to Kit finding himself with sparklings. Kit wasn't sure how to tell Keeper, and was nervous. But back at Sides and Rave's place, Sunny was at the age where interfacing was constantly on the processor. It hadn't taken long before Sunny had discovered the pleasures of self facing but he found something was lacking and was needing something more but wasn't sure what. Rave walked into the quarters, he was tired and had a long day and he hoped to spend some time with Sunny, as the young one seemed to brighten his day. Sides had left for his shift, and Sunny heard the tell tale thudding of Rave's footsteps out in the common room. Sunny's systems started to warm when he heard those footsteps, and he started feeling wet behind his paneling he was eager now and couldn't wait to see Rave. He was ready. What Sunny didn't know was that Rave could be called for rape of a minor if he interfaced with Sunny right now. And so Rave wasn't exactly welcoming to Sunny's advances, which frustrated Sunny to no end. It was not that Rave didn't think about it, he just had to figure out how to explain the reason they couldn't interface yet.

"Please" Sunny practically begged. "I need you" He wanted Rave to be his first but couldn't wait.

"Sunny, I love you, and I want to share special time with you, but under Cybertronian law, you are not old enough to consent to interface especially with an adult. I don't want you taken away from me because I raped a minor. I hope you can understand, Sunny. I love you and I want you, but that is why we have to wait, otherwise, they could do unspeakable and untold things to me" Rave stated, in a loving voice, hoping that Sunny could understand. Rave gently stroked Sunny's face and gave the young bot a kiss.

Sunny leaned into the kiss and wrapped his arms around. "I wouldn't go with them" Sunny said remembering something from the past. He would rather offline then be taken from somewhere he actually loved.

"At the rate you are growing, sport, it won't be too much longer, maybe a month or two. Please wait, as I am pretty sure at that change you will be of consenting age" Rave stated, making Sunny smile. It was not a "no" per se, it was a "not now." Sunny hugged Rave and kissed him again and was content for the moment to let Rave hold him.

Elsewhere Kit was nervous as he waited for Keeper to come home after a meeting, he knew he had to tell him he was sparked. Keeper soon entered the quarters. Kit had to admit that he never would have pegged Keeper to be the Prime, but ever since Braggart had been castrated and had his chamber removed, Kit had been safe, and most of the base welcomed Kit with open arms. Keeper wasn't sure when to tell him that many in the base were family, but he thought he would wait a bit longer. Keeper came in and saw Kit sitting on the couch, a tear stained faceplate in wrung out hands.

'Is something wrong, love" Keeper asked, concerned.

"I...I have something to tell you Keeper" Kit said and wiped at his face. "I just don't know how to"

"You can tell me my love…I am going to love you, no matter what" Keeper stated, kissing kit gently on the helm and holding the smaller bot in his strong arms, and providing comfort.

"I...I'm sparked" Kit said. "I wasn't feeling good and I went and the medics told me"

"Is that what you were afraid to tell me my love? Were you afraid to tell me we were going to have more children to love?" Keeper stated calmly and lovingly, catching Kit off guard.

Kit looked at Keeper and nodded slowly. "Yes..."

Keeper smiled. "My mom was much the same way when he was pregnant with my twin and I. And my dad could not have been happier. And you know something, no matter how many you have, we will love them and raise them. I am happy for you Kit, and I love you" Keeper stated as he rubbed the barely visible sparkling bump, knowing exactly what it would do to kit.

Kit gasped softly as Keeper rubbed right there, he had never felt a sensation like that before. "K..keeper..."

"yes my love?" Keeper responded, keeping up his ministrations, hoping they would lead to the desired effect of interfacing.

"I...mmm...I've never felt anything like that before" Kit breathed.

'It only happens when you are sparked, as the sparkling bump becomes very, very sensitive and sensual" Keeper replied, kissing his mate and continuing to rub the barely visible bump, causing Kit to warm up and warm up fast.

Kit gasped and moaned his value dripping wet. "Please...I need ..." Keeper smiled, and then lifted his smaller mate and took him to their berth room. Keeper was gentle in putting the bot down and then continued to give his new mate pleasure. Keeper wanted to make sure Kit was ready before he took him yet again. Kit gasped and arched into the touches his mate was giving him. They felt so good. "Nnnn..." Keeper smiled, as for as much pleasure as Kit may have tried to give and receive in the past, keeper could tell Kit had never experienced this kind of pleasure – the true pleasure that comes only between sparkmates. Keeper smiled as he lined up to take his new mate, and he could even feel that Elita was happy for him. And if Elita was happy, Keeper knew this was the way it was meant to be.

"Please...please..." Kit moaned he needed to feel his mate inside him. Mate that word sounded so odd still but wonderful. Keeper slipped his stiff arousal deep into his mate's valve, treating Kit with the same special attention he had always given Elita.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, sides could feel that his brother was super horny, and Sides was curious as to why Rave hadn't helped Sunny relieve the intense emotion. Rave kept Sunny distracted for a time with conversation before sending him to go paint. He was sipping energon when Sides came home. After Sunny had gone to paint, Rave noted Sides was not happy about something. "what's wrong hon?" Rave asked.

"Why are you ignoring Sunny, I can feel his need"

'I am not ignoring him, my dear. The thing is, Sunny's body is at an age right now that were you or I to try and interface with him, by Cybertronian law we would be guilty of rape of a minor. I explained that to Sunny, and he has accepted it for now, as he doesn't want to lose either of us. And I told him it would only be a short time, judging by the way he is growing, and by his next spurt, he ought to be of consenting age" Rave stated, surprising Sides, as he was too young to realize that there was such a law to protect sparklings and younglings.

"Really? I never knew there was a law like that" Sides said. And thought of things from the past.

"yes, it was written by the seekers who guarded the sparklings and younglings as they had seen one too many times when sparklings and younglings had suffered severe psychological stress from interfacing too soon. And so the law was made and Sentinel Prime passed it. We have to wait a little bit longer, as does he before we can fill that need" Rave stated, hugging Sides, who now realized why Rave had not filled the ever present need.

Sides nodded the reason made sense once it was explained to him. "I see...its nice knowing now that such a law exits..."

"why, what happened?" Rave asked, worriedly.

Sides looked away for several moments. "When Sunny and I were barely younglings..." Sides said and wasn't sure how to say the next part.

"Please…you can tell me…did your creators….rape you two?" Rave asked, trying to be supportive of his mate.

Sides nodded after a few minutes. "Yes...but they took Sunny more often than me"

Rave swore, but he realized that there was nothing he could do about the past. 'Sides, I know I can't change your past, but we can change Sunny's future. I Know Optimus and Keeper are both familiar with the law, and they would have my hide even if Sunny was consensual. I will wait until Sunny is of age" Rave said as he hugged Sides tightly.

Sides nodded and let Rave hold him close. "I haven't thought about it in a long time..." Rave soothed Sides as best he could.

A couple months later, Grunt was about 4 months along, Kit was enjoying being Keeper's sparkmate and carrying sparklings, and Sunny had now grown to an age where he was considered a "consenting adult" even though he was only a youngling. Sunny had been waiting for this day for so long, and now that it had arrived, he hoped Sides and especially Rave would be welcoming to his advances. Sunny went to them and kissed them both. "Rave, Sides"

Rave smiled, as he knew that now Sunny was of consenting age. "You sure you want an old fart like me?" Rave asked.

Sunny nodded. "Yes, I want you to be my first Rave, please"

'that ok with you, Sides?" Rave asked to which Sides nodded and soon Rave was using his warm hands and his gentle tongue on Sunny while Sides watched – this was the Sunny he had missed.

Sunny gasped and moaned as Rave caressed him and licked him. "Nnnn..."

"Open for me, baby" the seeker stated to Sunny, making sure to give Sunny nothing but pleasure. Sides tried to keep his stiff spike under control, but he failed and was self servicing himself as he watched the hot scene unfold in front of him.

Sunny opened for Rave, his virgin valve dripping wet. "Please..."

Rave smiled as he carefully lined up his spike before gently thrusting it in the virgin port, staying still as Sunny's valve adjusted. Then Rave gently began thrusting into Sunny's tight, hot valve. 'ooo…so tight…so hot…baby, you wanna reaffirm our bond?' Rave asked, noting that Sides was pretty much lost in the moment as well. Sunny clung to Rave as the other gently took him, each thrust made him moan. Then Raves question penetrated his processor, did he want that? Was he ready for that? Yes he decided, he was ready.

"Yes, I want that"

"If that is your choice, then we shall proceed" Rave stated as he remained gentle in his taking of the youngling. And soon, Rave and Sides had released their sparks, and were waiting for Sunny to release his. Sunny realized he still had a choice, as they weren't going to force him. And soon, Sunny released his own spark, which longed to rejoin with his mates. The difference was, this time, both Rave and Sides could tell that Sunny's spark was full of nothing but love. There was no bitterness to be found. Sunny gasped as his spark joined Raves and sides. As their sparks joined, Sunny overloaded. But what Rave noted that neither Sunny nor sides saw was that both the twins sparks changed color. He was hoping that neither would be angry nor hate him when they realized that they were sparked. But the thought was pushed aside as Rave hit his own overload and overloaded into Sunny, sending the bot into a second overload.

Sunny was like jelly after the second overload. "Mmmm...that was wonderful"

"Thank you for choosing to love me" Rave stated, to both his mates.

"We love you Rave" Sides said and Sunny nodded kissing Rave. He had no idea he was sparked.

"So, are you glad we waited, Sunny?" Rave asked, knowing what Sides had mentioned.

Sunny nodded and kissed Rave again. " I am"

"And now that you are of age, we can be the loving mates we always wanted to be" Rave stated as he pulled Sides and Sunny close to him in a great big hug. Sunny smiled and snuggled close. He was happy now.

Elsewhere, a sparked Kit ran smack into Braggart, only this time braggart looked much different – he had been reconstructed after having his chamber removed and his hormonal drive removed. He was now smaller than Kit even, and Kit realized he no longer needed be afraid, as there was nothing braggart could do to him now. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the bot who tried to rape me?" Kit stated, scaring the hell out of Braggart.

"I see you got what you deserved" Kit said. He knew better then to try anything physical against the bot. Braggart wanted to be angry, but when he saw that this former pleasure bot was bigger than he was, Braggart left, not wanting to suffer anything further. Kit laughed, as it was true, braggart had gotten what was coming to him. And then Kit ran into Mirage and Optimus. He was still nervous around them, as he had heard all sorts of tales regarding the two, of just how powerful of a force the two had been in creating the peace the Transformers now had.

"H..hi sirs" Kit stuttered when he ran into them.

Mirage shook his head. "We are not sirs, Kit. We are family. You are bonded to our oldest son. Please, just call us Mirage and Optimus, or when In private, mom and dad" Mirage said in his warm welcoming way. And it was then that Kit had a chance to see how Mirage was so instrumental in helping with the peace, as All knew Optimus had died and been rebuilt to obtain peace.

Kit wasn't completely sure but nodded. "Yes, s..Mirage" kit felt like a fool.

"Don't feel bad, Kit, as many bots of our generation still refer to Optimus as Sir as he had been their Prime for so long. Come with me, my son, and let me show you around' Mirage stated, doing his best to make Kit fell better. 'Optimus, we will drop you by the med bay, as Kryptonight wanted to check on something." And with that Mirage embraced Kit and guided him around the base, after dropping Optimus off at the med bay.

"Hello son" Optimus greeted his adopted son. "I'm here"

'Hey dad, glad to see you here. You know the drill, twice a week we check on you. It was my turn this time" Kryptonight stated. Optimus never would have guessed that two of his sons would have been medics, but it made him smile.

Meanwhile, Mirage took the shaky Kit and walked around the base, telling him about each mech and femme. Kit was starting to feel better as he realized Mirage was warm and welcoming to him, not seeming to care that not too long ago it had been brought out into the open that Kit had been a pleasure bot. Mirage didn't seem to care, as he looked inside, and what Mirage saw inside of Kit pleased Mirage, and Mirage was happy to have the bot as an in-law. Kit looked to Mirage. "Why do you welcome me"

"Partially because it is my job and partially because you are now family, son" Mirage stated, his warm loving voice reminding Kit of Keeper's warm voice, though the pitch of Keeper's voice sounded much like Optimus's voice.

"I've never had a family before" Kit said. He said thinking how much Keeper was like Mirage.

Mirage was and wasn't surprised to hear that, as he had met many a young transformer who had lost their parents in the war. "well, my son, you have become part of one of the biggest families there is" Mirage stated, as he went to introduce Kit to Jazz, who was merely surviving as Prowl had died already, Wingspan, who had lost his mate Hot Rod as the racer had tried to stop Megatron from killing Optimus, as well as many other bots. And then came the trine, who were too old to fly, but were telling tales to young ones about their lost mate of Skyfire. The grandsparklings were enraptured by the stories. Kit was amazed by how everyone seemed to know Mirage even though he had barely ever heard of the bot before now.

Kit met the different bots who welcomed him warmly. "Uh hi" Kit said and found himself drawn to Jazz but not in a romantic sense.

'Come closer, Kit. My visor ain't what it used to be" stated Jazz, a hint of sadness in his voice, but mostly warmth.

Kit came close so Jazz could see him better. "I'm not a pretty bot" Kit said softly.

Jazz looked closely, but what he saw he liked. Kit was a beautiful mech. "Oh hush now, little one. You are beautiful, inside and out' Jazz said, smile on his face. Kit just couldn't believe that he had run into so many welcoming bots, as he had never been welcomed like this before. And for as nerve-wracking as it was, Kit began to enjoy the encounters, as each bot welcomed him, most only aware that he was the prime's new sparkmate, and that was good enough for them.

Kit found himself taking Jazz's hands. "Hardly, but thank you"

"Well, you are my oldest grandbaby's sparkmate, and that means ya really are a good bot, as Keeper doesn't ask just anybody to be his mate" Jazz stated, causing Kit to blush.

'Enough embarrassing him, mom. He is sparked, and so you'll be having more great-grandbabies" Mirage stated.

That made Jazz grin. "Well now my new grandson here needs energon"

"I'm fine really"

"Nonsense sit" Jazz said.

Kit sat and chatted with the two bots. He was amazed to listen to all of their old stories, and he realized what a treasure trove he had now in the big family. "Jazz is a mother, kit, as I am, and once you become one, you will understand. I know you are still working on learning all the names of the bots Keeper had from his last sparkmate, but fear not, you will learn and you will know more than you think in due time' Mirage said, smiling.

"I still can't believe someone like Keeper would take me as a mate" Kit said.

"Primus chose you for Keeper. Keeper needed a new mate, as the loss of his last mate was weighing heavily on him. Primus brought you at just the right time. Now I can see Keeper is so much happier" Mirage stated.

Kit nodded. "I hope I am good enough for him. He's the first bot who has ever loved me, I've never had anyone before"

"Don't worry so much, Kit. Now that you are bonded, only death can separate you and Keeper" Jazz stated. Kit nodded and found himself asking questions about being sparked since he had never been sparked before. Both Jazz and Mirage were answering Kit's questions. Kit began feeling much better as he realized that there were others around willing to help him.

And while those three were talking sparklings, Optimus was finishing up his diagnostic test in the med bay. "Still functioning at top function" Kryptonight said. And though Optimus knew it didn't mean that he was like he had been before he had been rebuilt, he knew it meant that for his age and the rebuild, he was functioning as best as could be expected, and that made Optimus happy.

"Thank you, son" Optimus said and rubbed Kryptonight's helm.

"Don't do that too much, dad, or Hurricane may get jealous" Kryptonight quipped, enjoying the praise.

Optimus laughed that warm rich laugh. "Where is Hurricane anyway"

"Working with our younglings – Snowstorm, Thunderstorm, and Rainstorm. They are quite a handful, being little seekers like me, but he can handle them, that much I know as Hurricane can really throw his weight around" Kryptonight stated as he laughed as well.

"I do want to see my grandchildren more son" Optimus said. "I'm feeling strong enough I think to go visiting"

"Alright dad, my shift is over and Fader is here and will take over for me" Kryptonight stated. 'Let me help take you to visit my and my mate's quarters.'

Optimus nodded after a minute. "Alright son" Optimus said he knew it was because of his age and the like that everyone was protective of him.

Soon enough, the pair arrived at the quarters, only to hear Hurricane bark at the trio. Optimus was concerned but Kryptonight knew the trio must have caused some kind of trouble. "Let me go see what is going on, then you can come in" the seeker said as he left Optimus's side and checked on things. After about 5 more minutes, things were calm and Kryptonight brought Optimus into the house, shocking the younglings, who rarely got the opportunity to see their grandfather.

"There are my darlings, come see grandpa." The triplet seekers were careful, as they had been reminded by their creators time and again that Grandpa Optimus was fragile. And so all three mechs hugged their grandfather, happy to see him once again.

Optimus kissed each tiny little helm. "How are my babies doing?"

"grandpa, we're younglings" stated Snowstorm, the oldest of the three.

"But you are still my grandbabies, no matter how old you get. Just like your father is always going to be my baby, even though he is an adult" Optimus stated.

"Thanks dad" Krypto said.

"It's the truth" Optimus said And sat in a chair and had the younglings sit with him.

And while Optimus was spinning stories with the triplets, Keeper, fresh out of a meeting was slightly concerned when Kit was not in their shared room, as he didn't want Kit to get hurt, and so Keeper commed his mother, wondering if Mirage knew where Kit was. "Oh, don't worry, keeper, Kit is safe with Jazz and I. we were talking about what to expect when one is sparked" Mirage stated, bringing relief to Keeper.

"Where are you mama I'll join you three"

"We are in Jazz's quarters. I am sure Jazz would love to see you again, Keeper" Mirage stated, allowing Keeper to go right to the right place. 'Welcome, son. We were just trying to help kit. I hope we didn't overwhelm him."

"I'm okay" Kit said as Jazz rubbed his back.

Mirage smiled. "I guess Jazz has worked his magic touch again" Mirage stated as he watched Kit and Jazz interact, "You picked a good mate, Keeper. I am sure Elita is happy that you are happy."

"She is, I felt it the last time Kit and I made love. He doesn't have anyone mama I did some checking, he grew up in a ...whore house" Keeper said softly to his mother.

Mirage nodded, but made no judgment upon the bot, after all, he had grown up being abused. "we all do what we must to survive keeper" Mirage said, to which Kit overheard. Kit heard that they were talking about his past, but Mirage refused to judge the bot, and Kit wondered why.

"Mirage was abused when he was only a sparkling, Kit" Jazz stated in a whisper to Kit, as if knowing Kit's question, "that is why Mirage never judges the past of those he comes into contact with"

Kit nodded, "I did grow up in a whore house, I never knew who my creators were. I was just a sparking of one of the whores"

"I was sparked a tower bot, Kit. But my creators always referred to me as a mistake. They wanted nothing to do with me and even hired a babysitter who also abused me as well. Sometimes, it is best not to know one's own creators" Mirage stated. Kit nodded perhaps that was best in his case as it would bring up too many questions. Kit rubbed his back a bit and Jazz moved his hand there and rubbed there.

"Jazz, I think you better stop and let me take Kit home" Keeper stated, noting that Kit was starting to send pulses through the bond – horny pulses.

"Alright" Jazz said stopping and rubbed Kit's helm. "Take it easy" Keeper took his mate back to their room, and Kit was glad, as he knew what was coming.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Rave was snoozing when Sides and Sunny started to feel a bit strange. "What are we gonna do, Sides?" Sunny asked worriedly, hoping he wasn't malfunctioning as he didn't want Rave to get rid of him for being a malfunction.

"We're going to go to the med bay" Sides soothed. "Come on Sunny"

The brothers went down to the med bay. "Hello" Sides called.

"Come in, come in. how can I help you two?" asked Fader, the only medic on at the moment.

"Fader we're not feeling to hot can you look us over"

Fader assisted the two to a berth and examined the two. And he couldn't believe what he found. 'well you don't have a virus….but….' Fader started before examining more thoroughly. "Well, I'll be danged…you are both sparked, and with triplets to boot" Fader stated, not believing what he had found. Sides and Sunny were shocked and Sunny passed out.

'I thought I was too old to carry any more sparklings' Sides stated to Fader.

'apparently not" stated Fader, 'But I do want both of you to check in with me or another medic every other week until we start getting closer to time, then it will be weekly."

Sides nodded and carried Sunny back to their quarters where Rave was waking up.

"Hey love, where'd ya go?" Rave asked, seeing that Sunny was passed out and that Sides didn't exactly look thrilled.

"Rave, Sunny and I are sparked" Sides said."With triplets each"

"Please don't be mad at me, I had nothing to do with this, I just wanted to reaffirm our bond" Rave stated, helping to take the passed out Sunny and place him on the couch.

"I'm not mad, more surprised than anything else" Sides said. "Sunny is in shock"

"Hopefully, he won't be mad either" Rave stated as he gently stroked Sunny's faceplates. Sides hoped so too remembering the last time Sunny sparked for the first time, but he also knew that this time Sunny was a different bot.

A short time later Sunny came too and found himself laying on the couch. "Mmmm...what happened"

"You passed out after being told you were sparked" Sides stated.

"How are you feeling, Sunny?" Rave asked, worried that Sunny would be angry.

"Tired..." Sunny said then his tanks rebelled. "I'm gonna be sick." Sides was ok, and so Rave quickly helped Sunny to the washroom and gave comfort as his young mate purged his tanks. Rave was there for the whole thing and was there to hold Sunny when it was done while Sides brought some energon. When Sunny finished purging his tanks Rave held him while Sides helped Sunny drink slowly and only a few sips at a time. "T..thank you..."

"You're welcome" sides stated.

'feeling any better?' Rave asked, still concerned Sunny would be angry at him for this.

Sunny nodded. "Not mad...surprised"

"well, both of you know this – I will do my best to care for both of you' Rave stated, and both Sunny and sides knew the seeker meant it. Sunny nodded and kissed Rave softly and took more energon before he curled up in Raves arms. Rave smiled with a tear in his optic and even sides understood – Rave knew that Sunny really loved him, and that meant more than almost anything else in the world, with the exceptions being Sides and his older children. Sunny soon fell asleep curled up in Raves arms, his young body adjusting to the sparklings he now carried. Sides just smiled, as he helped Rave put Sunny into the berth and the three soon fell asleep.

Elsewhere Wingspan was attempting to fly for a bit longer today, in that last major fight of the war he had gotten badly injured. It was the same fight that he had lost Hot Rod in, but he had taken major damage to his wings and his face. It didn't matter to his mama though, he was still Jazz's little seekerling, he tried to spend as much time as he could with his mother who wasn't the same after his papa had been killed. "Mama, you have to settle down" Tango stated as he tried to help Wingspan as well as Jazz.

"Baby I need to fly" Wingspan told his son.

"I know, mama, but you aren't the same as you used to be" tango said as he tried to care for Wingspan's old injuries.

Wingspan sighed. "I know" Wingspan said and sat down as Tango tended to his injuries. "I just...I'm so lonely and I feel so useless, I'm not really a seeker anymore"

"You are still a seeker, mama, it is just that right now, your old injuries need to be repaired or heal before you are truly able to fly" tango said.

"When did you get so wise Tango?" Wingspan asked his son. "I miss your father so much"

"You and dad taught me well, mama. And I know you miss dad, as do I, but dad would want us to go on" Tango said, soon finishing up the dressings.

Wingspan nodded and stretched just slightly. "Do you mind if I go for a walk Tango"

"No mama, but let me go with you, just so you don't have to go alone" Tango stated, another young mech who had not yet been able to find a sparkmate, and so had taken over taking care of Wingspan and Jazz.

"Alright son" Wingspan said and kissed his sons forehead and they went for a walk around New Vos, that had risen from the ashes of Vos that Megatron had wiped out years and years and years ago. Jazz didn't live far from Wingspan in New Vos but Wingspan would go visit his mother shortly. He had no idea who he and his son would run into, mechs for each of them. Tango carefully helped his mother along, hoping that this was helping.

"Let's head to your grandmother's" Wingspan said after a little bit when they bumped into a couple of mechs. One was a little older then Tango the other was closer to Wingspans age.

"Sorry" Wingspan said.

"No harm done" stated the young mech, known as Fanbelt. "may I ask who you are?"

"My name is Wingspan and this is my son Tango, and you?"

"My name is Fanbelt, and this is my father, Runway" Fanbelt stated.

"It is nice to meet you" Wingspan said not noticing his spark fluttering and didn't realize his sons was beating quickly as well.

"nice to meet you two as well" Runway stated, his gravelly voice a condition left over from the war. Both Fanbelt and Runway could feel their own sparks start to skip jolts, but they weren't sure if they should act on them.

"We should probably get on our way" Wingspan said. "But it was nice meeting you" Wingspan said and he and Tango left. But even after visiting with Jazz for hours and heading home, their thoughts were still on father and son respectively. And on the other side of town, Fanbelt and Runway were thinking about the two mechs they had met.

The next day Wingspan was alone as he was heading to go visit his father, Thundercracker when he ran into Runway. "Hi"

"Hi, wingspan, right" Runway stated.

"Yes, Runway correct? What are the odds of running into each other again"

"I don't believe in luck" Runway stated, "I believe Primus has a purpose for everything"

Wingspan snorted. "My faith in Primus isn't what it used to be"

"Well, my first mate helped me. I used to believe that there was nothing, that it was only us. But she helped me see that there was something bigger than myself. I loved her. She died years ago, after fighting a virus that no antivirus could get rid of. I miss her, but I know she released me, in hopes that I would once again find happiness" Runway stated, his voicing hitching a bit, not just from sadness but mostly from unrepairable damage.

"My Hot Rod was taken from me in that last battle on Earth, my papa was taken from me and others I cared greatly for"

Runway placed his hand on Wingspan's shoulder. "I understand loss, my friend, for I lost all but one of my sparklings in the last battle on earth. Fanbelt is the last family I have left" runway stated, hoping to let Wingspan know that he empathized with Wingspan. "I started out with 14 sparklings, 11 mechs and 3 femmes."

Wingspan nodded and tried to rub a sore spot on one of his wings. "My mother won't be around much longer I know, my father is too old to fly now and I can't fly." Runway noted the sore spot and began to rub it, and to Wingspan's amazement, it seemed to feel better. Runway smiled, as it was nice to be out of Fanbelt's watchful optic, and able to try and get to know other bots.

"Thank you...my wings pain me so"

"Looks like you took quite a blast" Runway commented, his gravelly voice soothing to Wingspan's audios, which caused the seeker great concern, as he was worried about betraying his first mate who he had loved with all his spark and who had died in battle, dying in Wingspan's own hands.

"Yeah...I almost lost my wings completely" Wingspan said, trying to ignore his racing spark. Runway was a bit oblivious as Wingspan was starting to show signs of a rapid spark rate, which indicated a mate had been found. And since he was oblivious, as his own spark was throbbing, Runway tried his best to soothe the jumpy bot. Wingspan tried to calm his body which was starting to warm under Runways hands, he had to get away and had never been so happy to see his father walking. "Father" He called out to Thundercracker.

"I am going to visit Skyfire in the mausoleum, if you care to join me, son" TC stated.

Wingspan nodded he needed to see Hot Rod. "I'm sorry Runway, I really need to go" He said and rushed to his father's side. "Thank you" He said very softly just loud enough for his father to hear.

TC merely nodded, and Runway understood. "take all the time you need." Runway had no idea why he had said that, but it felt like the right thing to say.

Wingspan went with his father and while TC went to see Skyfire, Wingspans feet led him to Hot Rod and he sat in front of where Hot Rods body laid. "Roddy...oh Roddy I miss you so much"

Only visible and audible to the distraught seeker, a strange orb of pure white light appeared. "spanner… spanner" it whispered as if in the wind, "Spanner…"

"Roddy..." Wingspan asked hearing the voice and seeing the orb in front of him.

"Spanner, doll…why do you still mourn for me..as I am happy…. my parents are here, Prowl is here, and our daughters who didn't make it our here as well as Sonicboom and many others….I want you to be happy…. remember I will always be with you….always love you, and in loving you… I release you…. As my time had come to leave you…." The orb whispered in Roddy's voice.

Wingspan was on the verge of crying hearing Hot Rods voice. "Roddy...I don't want to betray you..." Wingspan said. "I love you..."

"Spanner, my love, you aren't betraying me by finding someone new to love. I release you as I love you so much, I want you to be happy, since I no longer am able to fill that for you. Go in peace and know I love you, I want you to be happy, and I release you" The orb stated, before gently giving Wingspan a gentle kiss as well as a bit of a healing touch. "now, my love, go…go be happy…when you are happy…I am happy" Roddy's voice stated before fading away.

Wingspan did cry when the orb was gone when he felt something shaking him and he onlined his optics which he didn't know he had offlined and saw his father. "Father?" He asked having no idea he had fallen asleep.

"You were talking in your sleep, my son. Is something wrong?" TC asked, not having any idea what wingspan had just gone through. Wingspan held onto his father and told him what had happened.

TC smiled. "that is good, Wingspan. That means Hot Rod has released you to find another mate to love. He wants you to be happy, and that is his last gift to you" TC stated with a smile.

Wingspan nodded and thought of Runway. "There might be one...father"

'Then go to him, young one, before you lose this opportunity' TC stated. Wingspan nodded and looked one more time to where Hot Rod rested before he went to try and find Runway. Runway was standing right where wingspan had left him, which seemed strange, but Wingspan wasn't going to knock it.

"Runway, can we talk" Wingspan asked coming back over to the mech.

Elsewhere Tango and Fanbelt were searching for their wayward parents, unaware of the growing feelings between each other. Wingspan took Runway to his home and sat him down before telling him everything feeling the mech had a right to know. "Runway...around you my spark is beating wildly"

Runway smiled, "My spark reacts the same way, Wingspan I never thought I would find love, but it seems like I have found it again." Wingspan smiled softly happy knowing it was mutual and the two grew closer to each other and their lips met in their first kiss. Runway felt the sparks fly as the sensual passionate kiss seemed to beckon each bot to go further.

Wingspan moaned into the kiss. "Please...please..." He breathed, he needed the other to claim him. Runway gave into Wingspan, as they both longed for each other to love them.

"I...I need you Runway, I need you to take me" Wingspan breathed.

"And I need you too, my precious" Runway stated as he carefully repositioned the slowly recovering seeker. "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Runway asked, not wanting to take advantage of the broken bot.

Wingspan nodded. "I need this" He said feeling he needed this to heal. Runway nodded and began to run his calloused but warm hands over Wingspan's healing form, as if trying to memorize everything right away, but slowly and carefully, and especially watching out for the slowly healing injuries. Wingspan couldn't believe that after all this time he could still feel this way, and especially for another bot who was not Hot Rod. Wingspan gasped and moaned softly as his body started to heat up under the others touches. He hadn't felt this since Hot Rod. Runway smiled as he hadn't felt this in ages, since he had lost his mate. And soon enough, the two older sparks were connecting, doing something wonderful for both bots. For Runway, it healed an old wound in his knee joint and made him fertile again. For Wingspan, it healed his wings, though his face remained scarred, and also made him fertile. The two were so caught up in their session and bonding that neither happened to notice that Wingspan's spark changed colors. All the two knew was now, they were no longer alone. Overload ripped through Wingspan and he clung to Runway. "That was wonderful"

And as Runway and Wingspan bathed in post overloading bliss, Tango and Fanbelt had finally stopped looking for their parents and had started to explore each other, unaware that their parents had bonded. Tango, though usually shy, revealed his dominant side, which sent chills up and down Fanbelt's spinal unit. Tango pulled the other close and kissed him deeply, "I want you, do you want me"

"Uh huh" was all Fanbelt could squeak out as the kiss hit his lips, and he kissed back with equal passion, wanting this bot who seemed to know exactly what he wanted.

"Will you be my mate" Tango asked as he caressed the other.

Fanbelt knew the truth in his spark. "Yes, yes…I want to be your mate…I want you so bad"

Tango grinned. "I will love you forever" He said before he eased Fanbelt down and started to worship the others body. Fanbelt could only moan as the smaller but more dominant bot rubbed his body in all the right ways. Tango was so glad he had finally found someone to love and who loved him in return. "What do you want? Tell me what will drive you insane with want and need?" Tango purred before he sucked on some wires. Fanbelt had never even done self service on himself, as he felt it wasn't worth it, as he felt like no one would ever love him besides his parents, and so he had no idea what would drive him insane. And he let Tango know this through their newly created bond. Tango realized he had a true gem here – not only a virgin port, but someone who had no idea what his erogenous zones were. Tango smiled and took his time exploring here and there trying to locate his soon to be mate's hot spots, wanting him to know nothing but pleasure. Fanbelt felt like his entire body was on fire as his mate lavished attention on him. It was hard for him to concentrate, but he moaned louder when Tango hit a hot spot.

Tango grinned and worked the hot spot he had discovered he wanted Fanbelt to enjoy this. Fanbelt was in such pleasure he said something that shocked Tango a bit. "Give me your sparklings…I wanna have your babies…please please." Tango got over his shock and prepared Fanbelt wanting him to be wet and ready for him. It took little time to prepare Fanbelt as he mewled in pleasure, especially once Tango put his stiff arousal inside the bot. Fanbelt's chute milked tango's arousal, increasing tango's pleasure as well. Once he was certain Fanbelt was ready Tango began thrusting gently in and out not wanting to hurt his lover soon to be mate. Fanbelt was in absolute bliss and encouraged his lover and mate to keep taking him. To unite their sparks to strengthen the connection they already had. The slightly larger seeker had the look of pure love in his optics which Tango quickly noticed.

Tango opened his chest and released his spark. "Show me your spark my love, let us become one." Fanbelt didn't hesitate, and bared his pure blue spark before Tango. Tango's spark drew the others spark to him and they merged binding the two together neither seeing Fanbelt's spark change color.

Elsewhere, Grunt was getting horny, but he couldn't figure out why. It seemed like he needed it even more than usual. Yeah, he may have been four months along with sparklings, but he had no idea, as he didn't experience anything that made him want to go to the dreaded med bay. He didn't mind Kryptonight, Fader, or Aid, but with his luck he would get Ratchet and Ratchet had never quite forgiven Grunt for what Grunt had accidently done to Ratchet's second mate. Grunt couldn't stand it any longer and commed his mate. "Love can you come home please." Blade was just about finished when he got the comm, and knowing that Grunt only commed when he needed something. Blade soon hurried up, reported off to his replacement, and headed home, unprepared for just how horny his mate was. Grunt was on Blade almost as soon as he was in the door, Grunt was kissing Blade hungrily. "Need you, so bad." Blade was going to say something, but when he felt Grunt's tongue dancing along his plating just right, Blade had only one thing on his mind – give his mate multiple overloads.

"On the berth now my love" Blade said. Grunt happily rushed to the berth and Blade followed at a slower pace. Grunt positioned himself so that his stiff spike, his dripping valve, and his virgin aft port were open and available for his mate to use and play with. Blade grinned and began to tease his mate wanting him to get all hot and bothered before he took him. Grunt moaned and tried to get more.

"Take me …take me" grunt moaned, feeling his systems warming up.

"Oh I will my love but what to take first I wonder."

Grunt didn't care, all he knew was that he desperately wanted his mate inside him. "Please...please I don't care...just need you inside me now..." grunt begged and was on the verge of trying to get himself off. Blade smiled as he produced a toy that Grunt didn't know the bot had. And soon as Blade slid his arousal deep in Grunt's aft port, Grunt also felt something thick and stiff that vibrated in his valve and the whole sensation was driving him wild with pleasure. Grunt didn't know which way to move as incredible sensations coursed through him. "B..blade!" Grunt cried out.

"My my my, we are in need, aren't we?" Blade asked rhetorically as he slowly began to thrust both his arousal and the toy in and out of grunt.

Grunt moaned and writhed at the slow pace. "Please...nnnnn...its so much..." Soon Blade began to speed up, and then, without knowing how sensitive it was, Blade dragged a hand along Grunt's abdomen, not even noticing the sparkling bump. Blade could only tell he'd hit a hot spot, as Grunt moaned even louder. Grunt cried out loudly in exquisite pleasure. "Nnnnnn..." Blade continued his thrusts as well as rubbing Grunt's newly found sensitive area. Blade wanted to give his mate multiple overloads. Grunt was quickly approaching overload and only lasted a few more thrusts before overload hit and pleasure moved through him and his valve and act clenched. Blade rode through Grunt's first overload without overloading himself and continued his ministrations and thrusts in hopes of giving Grunt at least another overload or two before he overloaded and both crashed into recharge. With each additional thrust from Blade Grunt's body trembled as more pleasure hit his already pleasure shot systems and he could feel another overload coming. He tried to tell Blade but he couldn't get his voice to work. Soon enough overload ripped through both bots, causing both to moan in pleasure before both fell asleep wrapped in one another's arms.

Elsewhere, Slugbug was alone. It wasn't that he didn't take a sparkmate, he didn't want one. He was alone, standing at a mausoleum at an unknown tomb to most. And while it didn't contain any remains, Slugbug and Kryptonight had put it up in honor of all the sparklings who lost their parents during the war. Slugbug was grateful that Optimus and Mirage had taken him and his brother in as sparklings, but Slugbug still missed their parents, hence he was visiting this tomb. A young mech quietly approached Slugbug. "I've been here hundreds of times and yet I still cannot figure out who the unknown are. Do you know?"

"It is for all those sparklings who lost their parents in the war and never saw their parents again, young one. It also represents those who didn't have any family or friends left to bury them or died far from home never to be found again, as though their names may not be known or remembered, every deserves to be honored in death" Slugbug stated in a warm, caring yet important tone.

"My name is Windstriker" He said. "It is nice knowing there is something like this"

"My name is Slugbug, and it is my brother Kryptonight and I who put this up, as our parents were slaughtered during the war even though they were not in the fighting regiment. My twin and I were captured by the Cons, only to escape and be taken in by Optimus and Mirage, who raised us from then on" Slugbug stated, believing Windstriker was probably too young to even know about anything about the war but what was taught in classes.

Windstriker nodded. ''Its nice that you both did this, you think me young don't you?"

"I would have to admit that yes, I do think you are young. I would have to say that if you were around during the war, you would have to have been a barely sparked sparkling" Slugbug admitted, Primus deciding to remain silent and allow Slugbug to make his own mistakes.

"I'm older then you think, but thank you for thinking me that young"

"Forgive me, I try not to assume" Slugbug stated, turning his yellow optics aside in embarrassment. Slugbug was starting to feel strange, but he knew it wasn't Primus taking over, as he knew what that felt like. He just didn't understand what was going on.

"Please no need to be embarrassed, you are not the first to think me that young. It works to my advantage because everyone assumes I can't do something" Windstriker said his spark pulsing.

"I try not to assume anything" Slugbug stated, his golden optics looking back, causing Windstriker to realize that this small bot was much more powerful than he let on.

"Why do I suspect we both hide who we really are?"

"I have no choice but to hide, for if others knew of my secret, many would either call for me constantly to solve problems or put me to death" Slugbug stated. Slugbug was wary of trusting this bot, but something is his spark was telling him differently. He was at war with himself, though he hoped the other bot couldn't see it.

"They are fools, and I would protect you" Windstriker said before he even realized it.

"I appreciate the offer my friend, but I think something else would stop them as well" Slugbug stated, the closest he had ever come to mentioning his strange unique situation outside of the confines of his family and his home.

"Then they must see what I do, a good spark" the other smiled.

Slugbug was afraid he had put the other off, and so, going against his usual protocol, Slugbug finally revealed his secret to the bot. 'Windstriker, my spark in a portal for Primus. He can come take over my form any time he chooses, and has done many times. And because he can take over my body, I have no weapons of my own. I was built small to hide this, so that no one would know" Slugbug revealed, his optics starting to flicker form yellow to Blue. Primus was trying to take over him, but he didn't want it to happen, not right at this minute, but there was little Slugbug could do, as his optics turned Blue and Primus took over.

'Windstriker, I see you have finally found a bot you are willing to take as a sparkmate" Primus said, though it came out of Slugbug's mouth.

"I have, I think I would have found him sooner but your clues were so slagging vague Primus" Windstriker had his own secrets that only Primus knew.

"He wasn't ready for you. He is still on the young side, so be gentle with him. He often has a lot on his mind. And whatever you do, do not try to get between him and his twin, or I do not pity the place you will find yourself in" Primus stated.

"Of course I'll be gentle with him, you know I love twins and won't get between them unless they want me to. Do I have to keep my secret from him?"

"No, you need to tell him, as what he told you as his secret is far more damning than yours. As this is only the second bot I have ever used as a direct portal for me" Primus stated, "and with all that power in his hands, he could do any number of things. Thankfully he is a peaceful bot."

"Yes Primus, I will love him and keep him safe"

"I know you will, Windstriker. I know you will" Primus stated, and with that Slugbug's systems shook and his optics changed back to yellow. He had no idea what had happened, the last thing he remembered was telling this strange bot his secret. His spark was now pounding out of control. He hadn't wanted a sparkmate, but maybe Primus had other plans for him. Windstriker took the others hands and kissed them before revealing his secret. Slugbug was caught off guard, but was soon kissing back with equal passion.

"I love you and will protect you"

"I love you… and I trust you" Slugbug stated as he felt the bot gently rub his helm.

"I will not betray that trust, do you wish to do more? Or do you wish to wait?"

"we can do more, my friend, just not here. We need to find someplace private, as I don't like baring my spark for just anyone" Slugbug stated.

"I understand love" Windstriker said and took the other somewhere private.

Once in private, Slugbug proved he was just as capable of being a dominant bot as he was of being the submissive and docile one. 'Before we join our sparks, I revealed my secret to you, I want to know your secret" Slugbug stated, as it was only fair.

Windstriker nodded. "Without what Primus tells you, what do you know of the original primes?"

"Very little. I know Optimus was a Prime, now his son is Prime, and Sentinel was a Prime, thanks to Optimus's much older brother Crankcase who was bonded to Sentinel. Other than that I know nothing, as Primus doesn't give me knowledge – anything I know I pretty much learned on my own" Slugbug stated.

"Then let me tell you of them" He said and began his tale and told Slugbug of the original primes and all of that, he focused on the youngest of the originals. Slugbug listened, intrigued. He had never been told of the things he was now hearing. "The youngest of the primes, was a foolish sometimes brash bot. For all his kindness he had a chip on his shoulder, one day the unthinkable happened and someone tried to assassinate him. He was alone and hurt when Primus himself appeared before the young prime, Primus offered him a second chance to make up for the things he had done. Though dying the young prime asked what did he have to do to get that. Primus told him that he would be healed but he would not age, he would watch the years go by. Until he found the bot he could accept as his mate then he would begin to age normally again"

"You seem to know a lot about this bot. He must have been a close friend of yours" Slugbug stated, not quite grasping the truth yet.

"No, not friend...I am him. I am, was the youngest of the primes. Primus gave me a second chance"

"So, you are one of the original Primes?" Slugbug asked to which the bot nodded, "Then how was it that now Peacekeeper is the Prime?"

"Because I watched my brother primes begin to bicker and destroy all that we stood for. The council decided from that point on there would be only one prime at a time, when Primus stopped my aging I was 'asked' to step down."

"Sounds more like you were ousted. Who took your place?" Slugbug asked, his spark feeling more and more connected to this bot.

"His name was Zeta, he was the prime before Sentinel"

"wow. I guess you really did have a secret. But since we have now shared with each other our secrets, shall we share our sparks?" Slugbug asked, still worried about what Windstriker would think as Slugbug didn't have a normal spark – his spark was a pure brilliant white, while most bots had bright blue sparks.

"yes, my sweet love" Windstriker smiled and kissed Slugbug. Slugbug kissed back, running his right hand along Windstriker, hitting multiple erogenous zones. Slugbug was enjoying this, but he was still nervous about revealing his spark. "I love you, share your spark with me my love"

"Ok, I hope it doesn't displease you' Slugbug stated as he revealed his pure white orb of a spark. Windstriker had never seen such a spark, but he knew that must be the reason Primus could use this bot as a portal.

"Beautiful, so beautiful" Windstriker said and kissed Slugbug as he revealed his own spark. Slugbug smiled and looked at Windstriker's spark, and found it different – it was a golden orb, long before transformers had blue sparks. Slugbug's white spark suddenly connected with the other's gold spark, and the intense feeling surrounding it couldn't be compared, as Slugbug felt millennia of gathered wisdom while the other felt the power of Primus, in a small dose. Windstriker let out a breathy gasp as their sparks merged together joining them together. What neither noticed was Windstriker's spark changed colors, meaning it would be the old Prime who would now be carrying new life.

Elsewhere Sunny was feeling up to painting and had been doing it for a few hours when he felt a bit weakened. His hand went to his head and he stumbled a few steps. Rave was coming into the room when he noticed Sunny lose his balance. Rave managed to catch Sunny before the bot could hit the floor. 'Are you ok, sweet spark?" Rave asked, concerned.

"I just got to dizzy" He said one hand going to his helm. "I was just painting"

"I think you need more energon and to be off your feet for a while, my love. Maybe you could paint sitting down" Rave suggested as he took his dizzy mate to the couch before helping him take in more energon. Sunny took small sips of the energon that Rave fed him and he laid against his mate, feeling tired.

"Is this the first time that this has happened my love" Rave asked, worried.

"Second, I just stumbled a little the first time, didn't think anything of it" Sunny said.

"I think you need to stay off your feet for a while, hon, and drink more energon, as carrying will take more energy out of ya' the older and wiser seeker stated, hoping Sunny was actually listening to him.

Sunny nodded and drinks bit more energon. "Will you keep holding me?"

"I can keep holding you for awhile, if that is what you wish, my love" Rave stated as he gently helped his young mate take in energon as well as stay off his feet. The good thing about Rave was that he rarely worked since he was so much older than most of the bots around, which gave him time to be with Sunny and Sides, though both of them worked more than the old seeker did.

Sunny nodded he wanted that and rested and drank his energon. "Do you think I'll be a good creator?"

"I think you will make an excellent creator, my love. I think both you and Sides will be wonderful mothers as well" Rave stated, kissing Sunny on the helm as he gently rubbed Sunny's abdomen.

Sunny turned his head and kissed Rave as the other rubbed his abdomen. "Mmm...

"Do you need anything, love?" Rave asked, knowing Sides would be at work for four more hours. Sunny was surprised at how much love his mate showed him, and a slight flicker of memory showing what he used to treat the seeker like made him feel bad.

"Yes...Rave I'm so sorry..." Sunny said kissing the seeker.

Rave seemed to know. "I forgive you my love, but let us not think about the past. Let us enjoy the present' Rave stated, his calm loving voice making Sunny feel warm. Rave didn't know it, but Sunny could sense that Rave's seeker heat cycle, which at this point only lasted three days, was quickly approaching, thanks to being sparked.

Sunny nodded and kissed Rave again. "I look forward to this and I cannot wait for your heat cycle"

Rave smiled. "well my cycle is a few days off, but would like some love and attention now?" Rave asked, seeing that Sunny was beginning to squirm deliciously under Rave's soothing yet invigorating touches.

"I need you" Sunny breathed. "Love me"

"Always" Rave replied as he used his hands to warm Sunny up further before flipping the bot over. Rave smiled as this was just pure magic. Sunny was breathless and spread his legs for Rave. Rave slid his monster inside Sunny and slowly began to thrust while using his hands to play with Sunny's arousal as well as Sunny's virgin aft port. Rave could feel the love coming off his mate. "Tell me what you need my love' Rave said in the same comforting warm voice that Sunny had grown to love and respond well to.

Sunny moaned and writhed as Rave's monster moved in and out of him and the feel of Raves hands excited him even more. "I...my aft please..." Rave did as asked, and brought Sunny into overload after overload. Sunny didn't realize it at first, but for all the overloads his mate had given him, Rave had not overloaded once. And Sunny knew that would not do, as he loved his mate too much to let the seeker suffer an interface without overloading. Sunny got Rave onto his back and straddled the others hips and teased the others spike before sinking down and letting it fill him again. He started riding Rave and rubbed the others wings.

Rave enjoyed the attention, and soon felt his own heat getting closer to overloading. "getting close….getting really close , baby' Rave stated, which was music to Sunny's audios.

"Mmmm...good I want you to overload, I want to hear you cry out and fill me with your fluid" Sunny said as he rode and writhed on the spike.

And it wasn't too much longer before Rave exploded inside his mate, feeling satiated and loved. "I hope you enjoyed that, love" Rave stated as he watched Sunny overload yet again from feeling the fluids inside him. Rave couldn't wait until it was time for a threesome with his cycle coming up, as he realized both of his mates would be extremely receptive to his needs. Sunny moaned in response and was soon laying on top of Race the others spike still buried inside of him and it felt good.

Rave looked at his one mate and smiled as Sunny was so loving now. "Sunny, can I ask you something" to which Sunny nodded yes, "Did it really make a difference in how you turned out by how I responded when you were "growing up" before Sides and my optics?"

Sunny nodded. "It did Rave love, my creators...they did everything that they could to make my life miserable, they never wanted me. They wanted one sparkling and they got twins. Then later a second set of twins"

"I hope you didn't mind the times when I told you that there would be consequences if you didn't follow our rules" Rave stated, as that was what made him the most nervous of all.

Sunny kissed Rave softly. "It was the way you did it Rave, I knew you weren't treating me like they did"

That made Rave smile. "I loved you so much before. I love you even more now, my precious sparkmate". And when Sides returns, I think he is going to need both of us" Rave said with a hint of things to come.

Sunny smiled. "I never realized the love you held for me, I was too blinded to see it. And if that is the case I should take a nap." Rave removed his depressurized cable from Sunny and then got up and place Sunny in the bed so that Sunny could rest for a couple of hours before sides came home. And Rave cleaned, hoping that Sides would be happy.

Sides got home a few hours later tired and hungry. Rave took his mate and guided him to the large berth while Sunny prepared the energon, as he couldn't wait for the fun to begin. Sides did smile a little as he was fussed over and smiled when Sunny brought energon. "Welcome home brother" Sunny said. Even Sides couldn't believe just how much of Sunny's good side his mate Rave had brought out, and Sides allowed himself to be spoiled by the two, knowing exactly where it would lead. Sunny couldn't wait and started to gently caress his brother here and there. Rave just watched, as he let Sunny take over.

Sunny started kissing Sides who returned the kissed and pulled his brother into his arms. Neither noticed right away that Rave was merely watching the two, enjoying his mates enjoying each other. It was only once both were totally turned on and realized that Rave had been left out of the fun that they began to play with him in a submissive manner, hoping they could entice the seeker to give them the pleasure they sought, as well as the love they needed. Sunny got on his knees and started licking Raves closed panel while Sides rubbed the other. Rave moaned as he enjoyed the pleasure his mates were trying to give him. He just hoped he wasn't too old to give them what they wanted. Rave was embarrassed when his groin plating creaked as it slid open. Sunny smiled and so did sides and they kissed him. Sides got up and got oil and started rubbing it in slowly around and in Raves panel. Rave was really getting turned on at the gentle and sensuous touches, and soon, after the oil was applied, Rave's paneling slid away easily and revealed a stiff, throbbing arousal that both Sunny and Sides wanted, but they knew they needed to share.

The brothers looked at each other before they took turns taking Raves spike into their mouth while the other would caress Rave. Rave made sure his mates were laying next to him with their groins near his head. Sunny and Sides quickly complied and while they were stroking and enjoying him, he was using his hands and tongues on their spikes, valves, and aft ports. He was driving them crazy with need and want. He was not sure who to take first or which hole on which one, and so he let them decide. "Please Rave..." Sides moaned and the brothers decided that Sides could have Rave first. Rave was about to ask when Sides forced his aft port over Rave's throbbing stiff spike. Both moaned. Sunny felt a tad bit left out until he felt Rave manipulate his interfacing array and aft port with his hands and tongue. All three felt like they were in heaven.

Sunny and sides moaned both writhing from the pleasure. "Rave..." It didn't take too long for Sides to overload, though Rave had managed not to, as he knew if he overloaded, he would not be able to pleasure his other mate. And so, sides, satiated, got off Rave's spike and allowed Sunny to have it. Sunny plunged down, his valve engulfing Rave's spike, and milking it until they both overloaded. And while Sides and Sunny were still awake yet satisfied, Rave, being older, fell asleep, his older form creaking whenever he moved. Sunny and sides looked at each other and got more oil before giving Rave an oil bath while he slept.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Kit found himself in a bind, as a bot who had come from another base and didn't know the former pleasure bot was the mate of the Prime was bothering Kit. Kit tried using the training that Keeper had sent him through but trouble was 1) Kit was sparked and training had been slowed to make sure he wouldn't get warn out, 2) Kit was still in the beginning of his training, and 3) this "new" bot was almost twice Kit's size, about the size of Kit's mate, Keeper. It was all Kit could do to send a message via bond to his mate as this new bot, who recognized the bot as a former pleasure bot, molested poor kit. Kit tried to fight off the larger bot but couldn't, but before Keeper could get there rescue came in an unexpected form.

Keeper had tried to get to his mate as soon as possible, but by the time he had arrived, a much, much older bot was comforting Kit while the offender lay splayed out on the floor. Keeper had Blueflair and Freedom take the offender to the brig while Keeper went to find out what had happened. "My name's Peacekeeper. May I ask your designation and what happened here?" Keeper asked, as Kit made a beeline for his mate, wanting to just be held.

"My name is Windrider and that was molesting Kit here" the old medic said holding kit like a father would.

"Thank you, Windrider. Thank you for saving him" Keeper stated, as he took his mate from the old medic. "Would you care to stay for a while? I recently had a room open up here on the base of the Prime" Keeper stated, forgetting to say that he was the Prime.

"I would like that, I haven't seen kit in some time" Windrider said.

Keeper nodded and soon led the older bot to an empty room. "If you will excuse me, I would like to take Kit to the med bay to make sure he and the growing sparklings are ok" Keeper stated, as Optimus and Mirage walked by, trying to see what all the commotion was. Windrider recognized Optimus as a Prime, but didn't know that it had now been passed on to Keeper.

"Do you know what has happened?" Optimus asked the new bot.

"A mech named Ballbuster was molesting Kit, sir" Windrider stated towards Optimus, indicating that the most current thing the older bot knew was that Optimus was Prime. Keeper would have stayed, but worried about his family, he headed off to Ratchet in the med bay, or whoever was on duty.

"Please I am no longer sir, Optimus is just fine. Come let us go to check med bay." Windrider nodded and headed to the med bay with Optimus and another bot that Windrider didn't know (Mirage). In the med bay, Keeper was watching as Ratchet was checking over Kit.

"He's a little scuffed up but he and the sparklings are fine" Ratchet said.

"thank Primus" Keeper stated as Optimus, Mirage, and Windrider came into the med bay. Windrider was shocked as he saw Ratchet, as Windrider had always thought his only sparkling by his mate who had offlined millennia ago had died.

"Right now he needs energon and some rest" Ratchet said not seeing Windrider. Keeper gently took his mate into his arms and wanted to head out, but with Windrider, Optimus and Mirage blocking the way, it was rather difficult. Fortunately, Kit was fairly light, and Keeper had no problem holding the bot as he realized, along with Optimus and Mirage, that Windrider was intensely studying Ratchet for some reason. Ratchet looked over and saw Windrider and he froze. It couldn't be? Could it?

"Ratchet?" Windrider asked, not believing his optics.

"Father...?" Ratchet asked disbelief in his voice.

Windrider had tears in his optics. "oh Ratchet, my son. I thought I lost you a long time ago" Windrider stated.

"I know the feeling" Ratchet said walking over to him. Optimus and Keeper wanted to stay and see what happened, but left due to Mirage's insistence, who knew this was meant to be a private moment. And soon, thanks to Mirage, which Ratchet knew he would have to thank the bot later, Ratchet and Windrider were alone just the two of them, father and son finally reunited after millennia of wondering if the other was still alive. "Mom and I thought you were dead" Ratchet said still not believing his father was in front of him.

"I was kidnapped by some strange bot, and I barely survived the torture. I was told that they had killed my mate and you, you had been killed as well. And with the pain in my spark, I knew enough that my sparkmate was dead. I never was able to find you, but I never gave up because I always believed that there was a chance that you were alive."

"I came home from the academy and found mom offline. I never knew what happened, I moved in with Ironhide and eventually I became the personal medic to Optimus I have two wonderful mates, children, grandchildren and soon great grand"

"Wow, it sounds like you have done well. I wish I could say the same, as I mostly became a recluse, a bot who helped out those in need, but only those with great needs. I helped the bots no one else ever wanted to help" Windrider stated.

Ratchet nodded. "Father would you like to meet the family?"

"I would, that is, I would if it is alright with you, my son" Windrider stated, not wanting to overstep his bounds. Ratchet nodded and waited until his relief came before he took his father home with him. As soon as Kryptonight came on, Ratchet left with Windrider and headed back to his quarters. Bee was busy taking care of Skydive, who had suffered also in the last big battle and had to be fed and cared for.

Bee was just getting Skydive back into the berth when Ratchet came home. Bee was glad of one thing with his rebuild after the war had more or less ended, he was taller and stronger then he had been. Even though he was bigger, many of those who had fought with him called him a minibot, though he didn't mind, as he knew they were not making fun of him. Bee was surprised by Ratchet's early arrival home, as usually Bee was able to clean up and have Skydive all taken care of before Ratchet got home. And Ratchet finally was able to see just how much work Bee put in to help their third mate who could no longer talk or walk on his own, after a blast from the battle had severely damaged the bot's processors. Skydive couldn't even feed himself, but he took each day as it came and was glad to be around and happy to be online, as he wasn't in pain despite how he looked. "Love? Your home early, is everything alright?"

"Yeah, I have a surprise for all of us" Ratchet stated, as he brought Windrider in.

"Who's this love?" Bee asked curious as he looked at Windrider.

"this, my loves, is my long lost father, Windrider" Ratchet stated as he introduced the ancient bot.

Bee was shocked as he looked at Windrider. "You've never mentioned your father before"

"that is because I long believed him dead, just like my mother creator" Ratchet stated matter-of-factly.

Bee nodded. "You are welcome here Windrider" Bee said. "I'm sorry I need to finish with Skydive" He said. Bee went and attended to Skydive, helping to turn and reposition the bot as well as feed him and then bathe him. Bee was very gentle and both Ratchet and Windrider were surprised by just how careful as well as loving Bee was toward the broken bot, as Ratchet never really got a chance to see it as his services were required often in the med bay.

"Rest now love" Bee soothed Skydive into recharge after getting him bathed and fed and repositioned.

And as Skydive slept, Bee noticed Ratchet and Windrider were impressed as well as stunned. 'How often do you do that, take care of him?"

Be answered, "I do it daily. Each day, while Ratchet goes to the med bay, I work with Skydive, doing range of motion and other things. I change him when he needs it, I feed him, and I bathe him. He and I have formed our own little communication means so that we can understand each other without words. If not for me working with him, he wouldn't even be as good as he is now."

"Bee I had no idea you did all of this" Ratchet said.

Bee shrugged. "I don't mind"

"That is the power of love" Windrider stated, smiling. Bee nodded and offered Windrider energon before he sat down to get off his feet. And while bee and Windrider talked, Ratchet checked on his second mate, Skydive, only to find the bot awake, as if the bot knew something important was going on. Ratchet asked Skydive if he wanted to meet the new bot, and skydive clicked three times. Ratchet quickly caught on that that must have meant yes.

"Do you want me to take you to him my love?" Ratchet asked Skydive. Skydive clicked twice, as he was comfortable. Ratchet knew then that Skydive wanted the bot brought into him. "Alright Dive I'll bring him to you" Ratchet said before going to get his father and Bee. "Father, Skydive would like to meet you"

"And I would be honored to meet him" Windrider said, as he wanted to get a chance to know his son's mates. And with that Windrider went up and went into the berth room where Skydive was. Skydive smiled, as it was the only way he could really say hello on his own.

"It is nice to meet you Skydive I see why my son fell in love with you"

Dive smiled a bit bigger, and tried to communicate. Ratchet and Windrider had a little trouble understanding, but not Bee. "He's glad to meet you, Windrider. If you'll excuse him, he doesn't have a vocal processor yet, as Dash hasn't finished working on the shattered remains of his voice box" bee stated, surprising even Ratchet.

"Dash offered and he's the best mechanic" Bee explained. Ratchet didn't want to say it out loud, but he knew it was almost impossible for that amount of destruction to be repaired. HE didn't say anything though for two reasons: 1) he didn't want to take away Dive's hope, and 2) he had been fooled before.

"Dash will pull through love" bee said.

Elsewhere, Dash was working very hard while his brother Zip helped him, the two had grown close as they learned they both loved to fix things. Zip had come by to help after his mate was driving him nuts. Dash hadn't found a mate, and so had been caring for their elderly father, who once again lost his sparkmate. Dart was never the same after he lost Powerglide, and the only bots he let near him were his offspring. Dash would have loved to find a mate, but feeling that since he was the oldest it was his responsibility to care for their father, Dash somewhat happily worked on the shattered vocal processor. He was actually almost done, all that was left was testing it for the 5000th time. It was glitchy but it was working, which made Dash proud and he worked harder to fix the box, especially since he was really good friends with Blackhawk, who had taken a mate but lost her when she was killed on Cybertron in battle.

Zip brought his brother some energon. "How's it coming?"

"Hopefully after a few more tweaks I will get it' Dash stated, trying to keep an optimistic attitude.

"This is the time I can feel it" Zip said. "Here drink some energon I don't need you passing out" Zip had grown closer to Dash years before after something Powerglide had told them. He still missed Powerglide, the mech had died saving another's life and even then went down fighting. About 20 minutes more and various homemade specially crafted tools and Dash was ready to try again. And this time when he tested it, it finally worked, and worked the way it should. Dash took out his own vocal processor and placed in the repaired one and sounded like Skydive as he talked. He felt around and noticed no glitches or catches as he talked or moved around. Success! Dash had finally done it. It had taken 10 months of grueling tedious work, but he had done it. He removed the repaired box and placed his own back in its place, and then smiled, he had done it. Dash missed Glide as well, but being older, he understood things better. Zip grinned and gave his brother a hug. "I knew you could do it, go ahead and take it to them. I'll stay with dad"

Dash took off carefully, as he didn't want all his work to go downhill or get damaged. It had taken him years to find all the pieces and then, once found, almost a year to put together. And soon enough, he was outside Bee, Ratchet, and Skydive's door. Dash knocked nervously as he had never ever really gotten comfortable with Ratchet around. Bee answered the door and smiled when he saw Dash. "Hi Dash, welcome. come on in"

"I hope I am not interrupting anything" dash started, "But I have a present for all three of you." Dash was unaware that Ratchet's father was in the room as well.

"You're not" Bee said and let Dash in. "What have you brought?"

"Well it is easier to demonstrate than tell. May I go see skydive?" dash asked, the trio too caught off guard to ask why, allowed Dash to go see Skydive alone. "I tried really hard, Dive. I really hope this works." And with that Dash opened up Skydive's vocal area, which was hard to find considering all the mangled metal and wires nearby. And After what felt like hours, but in reality was only minutes, Dash and Dive began talking like regular bots.

"Thank you...thank you Dash I never gave up hope you would succeed" Dive said happiness in his voice.

"I'm sorry it took so long, as I wanted to make sure it was safe before I ever gave it back to you, because I know if I didn't, Ratchet would disassemble me" Dash stated, trying to down play his skills.

"you are a skilled mechanic and I would have sent Bee after Ratchet" Dive said.

"Shall we let the others in to see and hear the surprise?" Dash asked, a glint in his optic – hoping that Ratchet and Bee would be as happy as Dive was.

"Please Dash" Dive said and Dash got Bee and Ratchet to come in.

"Hello my loves" Dive said. Dash stood out of the way as Ratchet and Bee could not believe their audios. Their mate was now able to talk once again after having been mute for so many years. Dash had never given up and while Bee and Ratchet were paying attention to their mate, only Windrider and Skydive saw Dash slip out in all the commotion. Dash was truly an altruistic bot as Windrider could see the young bot wanted no credit, asked for no "thank yous." Dash was content that he had made someone else happy. Windrider made note to talk to the young mech at a later time he was content for the moment to watch his son be happy with his mates. Skydive was thrilled that he was now able to talk again. Ratchet assessed the voice box and was thoroughly impressed. Bee was just glad that Skydive could now talk.

"I told you" Bee said as he kissed Skydives lips. "I knew Dash could do it"

"Speaking of Dash, where did he go, as he is too big to hide?" Ratchet asked, and bee had no response.

"Oh that young bot snuck out of here about half an hour ago" Windrider stated, startling Ratchet but not Bee or Skydive.

"Half an hour? Primus alright I'll find him in a little bit and thank him for this" Ratchet said. Bee nodded in agreement.

Back in the quarters he shared with his dad, Dash relieved Zip and took care of Dart. Dart was hollow after having lost two mates to war, Dart had changed and not for the better. He refused to talk, he refused to see anyone most of the time, and if Dash didn't take care of him, Dart would have offlined of a very broken spark. As not only did Dart lose his mate in the war, but also, upon his mother's deathbed, Crankcase told Dart that the femme he had killed to try and save Glide was his own sister. And after learning all that plus with Crankcase's death, Dash knew if he didn't step up, Dart would be a lost cause. "Come on dad drink your energon" Dash coaxed and worked on getting his father to drink.

Dart did as asked, acting much like a lost sparkling. Dash loved his father, but he wasn't sure if he was doing the right thing by keeping him alive, but Dash couldn't stand to see his father suffer so. And while he thought about this and carefully fed his dad, he hummed a lullaby he had learned from Mirage, and Dart was soon asleep, though it wouldn't take too long before the night terrors would start. Dash never whined even though he rarely ever got the recharge his body so desperately needed and he never really had time to go out and find a mate, though he would have loved to.

A short time later Windrider found where Dash lived and stopped by, knocking on the door he waited. Dash made sure his father was comfortable before going to answer the door. "Yes, my I help you, sir?" Dash asked, keeping an audio out for his father.

"I wanted to meet you young one, your skills are very impressive" Windrider said.

"Ah, shucks" said Dash, as he was never one to brag about his skills, "I was just doing what I thought was only right"

Windrider smiled. "You are too modest, I was wondering if we may talk for a time"

"Please come in, but please be quiet as my dad is napping. Name's Dash, and your designation?" Dash stated softly.

"My name is Windrider I am Ratchet's father. Is your father alright?"

"Well, unfortunately, Dad lost his second sparkmate at during the last battle and he hasn't been the same since. His first mate was murdered in front of my brother Zip and I by a bot we later learned was our Aunt who was then a con. Dad learned that after he killed her. And then losing his mother on top of it all. He acts like a lost sparkling, he doesn't really want to see anybody, and if I didn't take care of him, he would be no more, and I love him too much for that. I want to see him come out of this slump, but he has been in it ever since Crankcase's death 10 years ago or so" Dash stated quietly, his own stress unknowingly showing.

"When was the last time you recharged young one? If you like I will watch over him, I am a medic''

"It can't remember get recharge for any longer than an hour or two at a time since my brothers and sisters, other than Zip, left me alone to take care of my dad, Dart, and that was more recent, though I couldn't say when" Dash stated, his systems craving recharge. "I'd sleep better if he didn't always have night terrors."

"That won't do, get some energon the rest I will sit with your father" Windrider said. Dash appreciated the offer and soon, after having some warmed energon, dash crashed into near stasis lock, showing just how hard this all was hitting him. Windrider made sure Dash was settled before he went and sat with Dart. Dart woke suddenly from a night terror, and was afraid of this new bot who was there. "Easy, my name is Windrider" the old medic soothed and gently pulled the other into his arms. Dart still shook though it was less, as he felt that this bot did care for him, maybe not like his mates or his kids, but this mech cared, and soon, Dart was back asleep. Windrider continued to hold the other and rubbed the others back gently. He felt needed once more.

Six hours later, Dart was up but poor Dash was still out cold. "Would you like some energon Dart?" Windrider asked kindly. Dart didn't really respond, and as Windrider watched he couldn't believe just how much of young dash's life Dart was consuming. Dart refused to talk, and hadn't talked since his mother had gone offline and Dash was left to deal with all this. Windrider couldn't believe just how strong Dash must have been to have so much on his plate yet be so humble and never complain. Something needed to be done before Dash offlined too soon due to having the life sucked out of him. "Alright young one now your son loves you dearly and I'm sorry for all you've gone through but you have to become a father again" Windrider said and told Dart about his past.

Dart listened and listened well. His spark still broken and feeling like he was ready to give up, but something wouldn't let him, and that was what he hated the most. Primus wasn't letting him join his mates as well as his mother and father. What Dart had forgotten about was the fact that he still had offspring that needed his guidance. And while Dart was listening to the ancient bot, something broke through the bot's cocoon and Dart began to ask himself what the hell he thought he was doing. Windrider could feel something change in the bot. "Now would you like some energon Dart? Are you ready to be a father again?"

Dart shook his head, as if his stupor was broken and he was finally waking up. He looked at the strange bot and spoke for the first time in 10 years, "Yes….' Dart stated, "Yes, but I am weak and I need help, can you help me regain my strength?"

"I will help you" Windrider said and got energon and helped Dart drink. "I want you to have at another cube, do you feel up to it?" Dart nodded and as he got up, he noticed the passed out Dash, and gave Windrider a strange look, like "what happened?"

"Your son has been giving you all he has, he's getting just an hour or two of sleep a night. He loves you dearly but I know this will burn him out quicker than anything else" Windrider said getting up and walking to stand beside Dart. Dart walked unsteadily over to his son and studied him. Dash was not bonded, roughed up, and looked worn out. Dart felt horrible, and he wanted to change this. Windrider went over and supported Dart. "You can help him by getting well, for now let your little one rest." Dart nodded as he realized he had a lot of time to make up for.

"Come I want you off your feet" Windrider said and guided Dart to the couch. "Now if your alright with it I'm going to work some of your joints." Windrider found that Dart's joints were flexible, which made the old medic smile.

"Excellent, your joints are nice and flexible. We need to build your strength back up"

"I need to, as Dash deserves better than this"

"Good, now do you trust me to do what I can to get your strength back up?"

"Yes…Yes I do." Windrider smiled and began working with Dart, using different methods to get the others strength back. He also mixed up some energon that had boosting qualities Dart smiled, finally finding the motivation to push himself out of his slump. Windrider would encourage Dart not letting him give up and pushing him ever so slightly, just enough to get him going again. He made sure the other drank the energon mixture and the like.

Poor Dash started scaring Zip when Dash had not gotten out of recharge. Little did Zip know that Dash's body had many updates that had not happened due to the bot getting so little sleep. Dash was out of it for a good week as his body recovered from the months and weeks of depravation he had done to help take care of others. Windrider calmed Zip and hooked Dash up to energon drip and helped dart.

Over the course of while he finally got to recharge, Dash's systems grew and changed – healing old wounds as well as twisted metal. On the 10th day, when Dash finally woke up, no one would have recognized him except for his humble mannerisms. Dash had grown a head taller and was starting to resemble Sentinel Prime. Dart was amazed at just how big his son had grown and then felt horrible for what he had done to his son. "Dad, don't beat yourself up. You had a hard time as much was taken from you. I hold no malice toward you, I am just glad you finally have come around, as I knew you would" Dash stated with a smile.

"I love you dash and I will be the father I should have been from now on. I want you to go find a mate and be happy, Windrider is helping me."

"Thank you, dad, and I am sure Zip will be by soon, though don't count on any of your other offspring stopping by, as they stopped caring almost a year ago" Dash stated, before leaving. Dart was as hurt as he was mad. NO he wasn't mad at Zip or Dash, he was mad because he knew he had more offspring than just those two. And Dart was determined to teach his offspring who had given up on him a thing or two.

Dart nodded and sent Dash on his way before he spoke with Windrider who advised Dart on how to handle his other offspring. "I want you a bit stronger first"

"I owe you big time, Windrider" Dart stated, knowing there were two other bots he owed just as much to – Dash and Zip.

"Nonsense, once a medic always a medic. You owe me nothing" Windrider said and got Dart to walk the inside of the house multiple times since he didn't want him doing it outside yet.

Dart sighed after having walked around for half an hour. "What am I going to do about the babies Powerglide and I had? We had six between the two of us and none of them helped my two oldest from my first bonding. They had already suffered so much and then to be left with me alone, that is not fair to Dash or Zip" Dart stated.

"Well first you should find out why they did it" Windrider said. "Powerglide you said was their mother, perhaps they were too overwhelmed to help themselves let alone their father. I have seen it happen before"

Outside the room, Dash ran into his six siblings that were his half siblings, all of them moved away from him. Dash had gotten used to this, it wasn't fair, but he knew what was up. The six were too lazy to help and so had backed out. He wanted to tell them dad was doing better, but he didn't think they deserved to know and so moved on, hoping Dart would teach them when he was feeling better. One of the six though wasn't lazy, they were scared. He was the oldest of the six, and ended up favoring Powerglide the most. A part of him wanted to be there for his father but had heard too often that sometimes when offspring looked a lot like the dead creator, it made thing worse. He was also keeping a secret from his entire family, so well that no one expected anything. He was in an abusive relationship, his 'lover' if the other could really even be called that, beat him often and faced him whenever he wanted. He had tried more than once to get out but he never succeeded, he was just beat even more for it. He was getting desperate and had even contemplated offlining himself.

Carefully, this bot, named Airglide sought out Dash, as he felt so bad for his older brother, he wanted to explain. And so Airglide followed out Dash, and went to where Dash sat to enjoy his energon. "How's dad doing?" Airglide asked, Dash looked at Airglide, understanding why he really hadn't come around as he not only looked like Powerglide, but his lover often prevented him from leaving the room and seeing the family due to "illness" or so Airglide told Dash, who really didn't believe it, but didn't know what else to think.

'He snapped out of his stupor. Would you like to come with me to see him?" Dash offered.

Airglide looked at his brother when he heard dad was back, and though he knew he would pay for it later he had to see their father. He nodded. "Yes...I want to see him."

Dash and Airglide left to go see their father, but while on their way, they ran into Airglide's abusive lover, Buttonhook. Not knowing that Dash was Airglide's older brother, Buttonhook began abusing the poor small bot. Airglide merely took it until Dash, who was much bigger than Buttonhook took the bot and threw him aside. "You will not harm my brother!" Dash yelled, scaring the hell out of Buttonhook, who didn't know Airglide had such large family members. "And I will report this to the Prime, as he is a close personal friend of mine" Stated Dash as he hugged his brother tightly.

Airglide clung to Dash trembling small amounts of energon here and there. "Please..." Airglide said softly his voice soft and weak as now at least one family member knew the truth.

Dash escorted his brother away and then asked in private. "Airglide, is this the first time he has hurt you?" Airglide shook his head no, this hadn't been the first time.

"I think before we go to see dad, that we go see a medic in the med bay and then see prime, as I want to make sure everything is ok with you" dash stated to which Airglide nodded. Dash took the bot to the med bay. Dash was grateful to learn that Airglide was not bonded to the creep but it hurt dash when Fader revealed that Airglide was sparked. Fader also made a report of old bruising and of times when Airglide came by in the past to bring to Keeper. Then Dash and Airglide made their way to Prime in hopes Keeper would do something and justice would be served. When Airglide heard he was sparked he wanted to be sick, the thought of having Buttonhook's spawn inside of him...it made him want to offline. He clung to Dash for multiple reasons he was scared, his legs he didn't think would support him, soon though they were standing in front of Keeper. Airglide let Dash speak for him since he was so far gone, his thoughts on the unwelcome sparkling he carried.

"…And I saw Buttonhook physically abuse this poor bot, Prime, with my own optics' dash ended his spiel with. Keeper looked over all the evidence and made his decision – Buttonhook would not only be castrated, he would also be shipped elsewhere. Dash thanked the Prime and soon headed out, almost carrying his smaller brother. Both soon made it back to Dash and Dart's quarters.

"dad, I was wrong" stated Dash, "One of the other 6 had at least two good reasons why he couldn't come" and that was when Dash showed the very broken Airglide who looked so much like Powerglide it wasn't funny. Dart and Windrider took one look at the broken bot and immediately didn't like what they saw.

"What happened?" dart asked coming over and taking Airglide into his arms.

"his 'lover' Buttonhook abused him, verbally and physically. I was relieved to find that they hadn't bonded, but Airglide is carrying a sparkling from that brute. Fortunately, with Keeper's help, this will be the only sparkling Buttonhook will be able to sire" Dash stated as he handed his brother to his dad. Dart soothed his son who started sobbing. Airglide sobbed and clung to his father and in shaky words finally managed to get out he didn't want this sparkling. Dash and Dart didn't know what to say, as they didn't want Airglide to kill the sparkling as it wasn't the sparkling's fault, but they didn't want him to try and harm himself because of the sparkling. Luckily for both Windrider stepped in.

Windrider had seen this more often then he would like to admit, he came over and gently took Airglide into his arms. "Shhh its alright little one, now I've seen this happen quite a bit I'm sad to say. But here is a suggestion, carry this sparkling to term. Don't try and harm it or yourself, and when it is sparked and you look upon its little face and if then you decide that you still do not want it then give it to someone who wants a sparkling but cannot have one." Airglide didn't say anything for several long minutes before he finally nodded.

"I am sorry to take off again, but I miss not having anyone to love" Dash stated as he went out once again, leaving Airglide with Dart and Windrider.

And then Airglide spoke, "I am so grateful to have such a wonderful older brother. I wish I could help him out."

"Dash will find someone" Dart said and got Airglide to sit down and he gently rubbed his oldest from Glides helm. "You look so much like your mother"

"I...I didn't want to remind you of mom...I didn't want to make you worse." Dart merely hugged his son.

Elsewhere there was a young mech a little younger then Dash sitting and reading a datapad. Dash barely noticed the bot as he had a lot on his mind and the bot was fairly quiet, but the bot noticed him in an instant, and while a little intimidated by the bot's size made a decision to try and talk to the bot.

And back in the room, Dart hugged his son, as he couldn't be mad at this one, not once he and Dash had learned the truth. "let's start over again, son" Dart Stated as he rubbed Airglide's helm, making Airglide feel better. Airglide curled into his father's arms, he couldn't remember the last time he had been held like this.

The young bot drew his courage and said to the tall mech. "Excuse me"

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you. My name is Dash. I have just recently had a lot of things on my mind. May I ask your name?" Dash stated, his spark starting to pulse irregularly. The smaller bot was immediately relieved, as well as surprised, as it was very rare a bot this size was so receptive to his advances.

Meanwhile, Dart's resolve to be the father once again grew stronger, and both Windrider and Airglide felt it, and while Windrider smiled, Airglide curled up into his father and slept for the first time in a long time.

"You may, my name is Skyrider. Would you like to join me?" Skyrider's spark pulsing wildly.

Dash felt his spark go wild, but he somehow managed a calm demeanor. "sure, and thank you" dash stated, once again startling Skyrider as the smaller bot didn't know such a large bot could have manners as he had been so poorly treated by larger bots before.

Skyrider looked at Dash, this mech was different he could feel it. "Nice day huh?"

Dash could see the sun was shining, but after learning what happened with his brother, he was not sure how nice the day was, though the afthole had gotten punished. "It is a nice day" dash stated. Dash could sense the smaller bot was nervous around him. "No need to be nervous around me, I am merely a mechanic, and as most of my close friends will tell you, that unless one royally pisses my off, I am a teddy bear"

"It's just that I don't have the best track record when it comes to bigger bots, I get picked on and roughed up a lot" Skyrider said. "But I sense something different about you"

"All of my creators taught it was never a good idea to pick on someone who is different, as we all have our differences" Dash stated, as he remembered his sparking mother and his stepmother both teaching him the same thing along with his dad, and it soon brought a quick tear to his optic. "sorry," dash stated, 'just thinking about my mom and my stepmom as I lost both of them."

Skyrider gently wiped the tears away. "My creators are gone too, I'm sure your mothers are proud of you"

'Well, my dad is still around, but he just roused out of a ten year stupor where I cared for him all day and night, with a little help from my younger brother Zip" Dash stated, "I can only hope he gets strong enough now where I can live on my own and start my own family, though first I have to find a mate."

"I'm sure he will, and I know the feeling. I want a mate and family too" Skyrider said. Dash looked at the smaller bot, and found it to be a seeker, not one related to the trine, but related to Thrust and his mate once the war had ended. Dash had heard about seekers, and hoped this smaller bot wouldn't mind him rubbing a wing. And so Dash gently rubbed one of Skyrider's wings, hoping he was not being too forward. Skyrider purred as Dash rubbed his wing, it felt so good and he leaned into the touch.

And just as soon as it started, Dash stopped. Skyrider looked a little annoyed at the stoppage. 'I am sorry, I just didn't want to take advantage of you, my friend" dash stated, surprising Skyrider, but then making the bot smile, as this bot truly was one of a kind.

"You are truly different" he said before kissing Dash.

Dash was a little hesitant at first but then relaxed into the kiss and kissed back with equal passion. After breaking the kiss, Dash whispered, "I think we should take this somewhere more private, don't you?"

Skyrider nodded. "My place isn't too far from here"

Dash nodded, "Please lead the way, my friend"

Skyrider took Dash to his small home, small especially for the smaller seeker. "Its not much"

"It's homey" Stated Dash, "But should we end up together, I think I can have Keeper find us a larger place, as I don't think both of us could stay here, especially with a family." Skyrider was in shock, as he had no idea this bot knew the Prime well enough to use his nickname. Skyrider was shocked as he sat on the small couch, he wasn't shocked about having a family with Dash, it was that he apparently good friends with the Prime. Dash wished he hadn't said anything about it, as he felt like he was being gawked at again because he just so happened to grow up with and be friends with the Prime, and Dash was about to go, when Skyrider stopped him.

"Wait please don't go" Skyrider said getting up and grabbed Dash's hand. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare...I've never met anyone who actually uses the Prime's nickname"

Dash stopped and turned around. "I never tell anyone I know him personally unless I do by accident or because I am forced to, as I don't want bots coming to me and begging for favors, as I know that would piss not only the me off, but Keeper as well. I just like to keep a low profile" dash stated, staying for the time being.

"I promise I won't tell anyone" Skyrider said.

Dash looked at the quiet little seeker. "Are you sure you even want me? I am such a screw up sometimes" Dash stated, averting his optics by looking down and away. Skyrider could hardly believe just how humble this big bot was, and that made him love him all the more.

"We all are at times, please I don't want you to go. I've never felt this way before"

Dash smiled a smile that could melt any bot's spark, as he looked back and said, "I've never felt this way before either. My spark is going wild at just being around you"

"Mine too; please don't go if you do I'll be miserable for the rest of my life"

"I can't leave you, my spark won't let me" dash stated as he moved closer to the seeker. 'Now where were we?" He asked, "oh yes…" and with that he began to gently rub his larger hands on Skyrider's hypersensitive wings. Skyrider gasped as Dash rubbed his wings and he started purring again.

"Shall we go further, my love" Dash asked, his deep rumbling voice sending chills down Skyrider's spinal unit. Dash left one hand stroking the wings, and used the other to start rubbing the seeker's sensitive cockpit cover.

"Y..yes" Skyrider squeaked and moaned. "Need you..." Dash gently lifted the smaller bot and carried him to the berth bride style. Once placing the seeker flat on his back, dash began to gently love his mate, using his hands and tongue to warm his mate up. Although a virgin, Dash knew his spike was quite large and he didn't want to hurt his smaller soon-to-be mate.

Skyrider moaned and moved into Dash's touches. "Nnnn..." Dash smiled as he could tell he could he was bringing immense pleasure to his mate. Skyrider writhed and tried to get more and started begging for it. Dash did his best, and found the prize of Skyrider's interfacing array open and began to tease the small bot's array with hands and tongue until Dash was sure Skyrider was ready for more. Rider moaned and writhed and tried to push down a bit. "Nnnn...please Dash please..."

Dash soon revealed his own throbbing thick spike and slowly moved it closer to Skyrider's port, and began prodding, causing even more excitement for the seeker. "You ready, my sweet?" Dash asked.

Skyrider's optics brightened as seeing Dash's monster and he couldn't wait to have it buried inside of him. "Yes, come inside me, make me yours"

Dash slowly slid his monster inside his smaller mate, filling the bot to the point of overfilled, but Dash, once fully inside, waited for the seeker's valve to adjust to his spike. Once that occurred, Dash began gently thrusting in and out while teasing his soon-to-be mate's own sizable spike. "wanna give you my sparklings" Dash stated as he thrusted in and out of the seeker. Skyrider moaned as Dash's monster filled him, and primus it felt so good. Dash's words hit his processor and he moaned. "Give me your sparklings, fill me with them"

Dash moaned in hearing that and began to gently thrust harder, and revealed his bright blue spark. "Show me your spark, baby. Let me give you my sparklings" Dash stated, as his spark floated out waiting to be joined. Skyrider revealed his spark and it floated up and joined Dash's spark, causing Skyrider to become sparked. As the two came down from overload, Dash was just so happy that he finally found a mate who loved him. Dash embraced his lover, and the two fell asleep, the seeker curled inside his larger mate.

Elsewhere, Slugbug was up while his mate was still asleep. He wasn't sure why Primus wanted him to have a mate, especially with his special ability, but if it was what Primus wanted for him, he was not one to argue. Windstriker stirred a short time later and found Slugbug up so he got up as well. "Are you alright my love?"

"I just never expected Primus to have a mate in mind for me, I had always planned that he would leave me as a single, hence I never really got too close to any bot" Slugbug stated, "I guess Primus had other ideas for me"

"For us both, come would you like some energon?" Windstriker wanted to spoil his mate.

"Yes, I would. But I think when we get back, I would like to ravish you again, my dear" Slugbug stated, a slight glint in his optic, and Windstriker shivered in anticipation, wondering just what Slugbug had in mind.

"I cannot wait" Windstriker said and they went to get energon and were soon back home again. Windstriker couldn't wait to see what his mate had on his processor. Slugbug startled his mate as he made himself grow a bit bigger, big enough to carry his mate easily and carry him bride style back to the berth room, but didn't place him on the berth, but on all fours, on the floor, with aft facing towards Slugbug. Slugbug sent a pleasure pulse through his mate, and instantly the groin plating retracted, and Slugbug began to play while using his own arousal to prod at his mate's virgin aft port. Windstriker moaned as Slugbug teased him and he felt that monster at his aft pressing in ever so slightly. "Please..."

Slugbug knew exactly what his mate wanted and slid into his mate's aft port, before being able to create a second spike, thanks to the power of Primus flowing through him, and entered his mate's valve as well, while still being able to play with his mate's stiff arousal and other hot spots. Windstriker moaned in surprise as his valve was suddenly filled with another spike. "Slug...bug...nnnn...so good..."

"I… I don't like to … ugh… show off… ooo…my dear… but I know you…. You needed this" Slugbug stated as he took his mate to new heights. Windstriker moaned and moved as best as he could onto the spikes in his valve and aft. He was lost in pleasurable bliss that was overwhelming his systems. Pretty soon, both bots overloaded, and hard. Slugbug made the second spike vanish right in front of his mate's optics. "One of the benefits of being a portal for Primus, as long as I use them for good, and don't abuse them, I have the power to alter my body into any form" Slugbug stated, and briefly turned himself into a hot looking femme just to prove the point before he turned back to his normal form.

Windstriker pulled Slugbug into his arms and kissed him deeply. "I love you, for you granted the two spikes was enjoyable."

"And I love you for you, my sweet spark" Slugbug stated as he snuggled up to the bot and fell into a deep recharge, as the transformation had taken a lot out of him.
