CHAPTER 4: PRAXUS
He had nowhere to go. Silver knew every backup plan from A to Z, the location and he would surely be waiting for them if he attempted to go to any of them. "The Autobot's. If I can join them, then I can keep Cloud safe. They would never turn away a Neutral... Would they?" Bronze didn't really have a choice, it was either find Gold alive and/or the Autobot's and join or risk being found and possibly getting killed by Silver.
Making up his mind, Bronze headed towards the fastest route to Iacon, through the remains of Praxus.
As he traveled, he ran several scans on the little bot. He may have not been a medic, but he needed to make sure that his sister was fine, she was all he had. After the scan, Bronze found that there was a strain on her spark, but other than that he could not pick up anything.
As Bronze entered the ruin city, he transformed and made sure that they had not been followed before going to look for a secure place to settle for the night. He had been driving nonstop all night and day to get as close to Iacon as he could. But he began to run low on fuel and decided to stay the night in Praxus.
After searching for several hours, Bronze finally found suitable shelter and barely a cube of energon. As he sat down he opened his spark chamber and retrieved Cloud.
The young femme was in recharge, but appeared to be starting to stir. Onlining her optics Cloud looked around, "Bronze?" Bronze looked at his sister and could tell she was confused. "Hey Cloud. How are you feeling?" The youngling looked down and started to rub her tank, "I don't feel so good… Bronze? What happened?"
"I know little one. I don't feel well either. And for what happened… We were betrayed." The confused look grew deeper as Cloud Glider started to look more at her surroundings. "Betrayed? I don't understand… Where's Gold? Where's Platinum? I-I remember… Uh… Broth-?" The red and black femme could not finish her sentence as realization and remembrance hit her. They were gone. Platinum and possible Gold; her brother, Silver, had personally killed them.
As the memories came, energon began to leak from Cloud's optics. Her spark hurt and she wanted it to stop, but it wouldn't. "Shh, shh. Cloud? Hey listen. I'm sorry, but it's going to be alright. We are going to find the Autobot's okay? And they are going to help us." The youngling continued to cry, but tried shakily to whip the continued waterfall away.
Bronzebow brought his sister to his chassis as she cried; this was all he could do since he couldn't hum like Goldrush.
Unlike him, Cloud had her bond completely open and had felt the full impact of it being broken. She and the others may have not been energon related, but they still cared for each other dearly and held a sibling bond. One that could still be used when the comm. link was down. Bond… Scrap! Thinking of bonds Cloud's bond was still opened to Silver, making finding them a piece of energon. But he could not instruct Cloud on how to block the bond. She was too young.
This then left them with one option; a forced closed bond.
A forced closed bond could only be done by an operation, a simple one, but an operation no less.
While helping his older siblings in the library, Bronze had come across a data pad with instructions on how to do it. Seeing it interesting, he downloaded the instructions. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that he may actually have to perform it. But it was that or be found.
He waited for Cloud to finish crying before meeting her silver optics. "Cloud… There's something we've got to do… You still can't close the bond with Silver. This means I have to close it." Tilting her helm to one side Cloud asked why she had to close the bond. "If we don't close the bond, Silver will find us, which means the Decepticon's will too."
Cloud was still confused, but agreed. She trusted Bronze, and if he said it had to be done, she would not object.
Bronze immediately began the operation. He had Cloud go into to stasis lock as he began to download the blockage code. It truly was a simple procedure, but one wrong sequence in the code could kill Cloud. But even though this was a possibility, he had to risk it. Finally, he plugged in the final digits and ended the operation.
Inhaling through his vents, Bronze pulled Cloud out of stasis. The youngling onlined her optics and looked at her brother, "Well, did it work?"
"You tell me Cloud. Can you feel Silver?" Cloud closed her optics and stood still for a few moments before saying that she could not. Exhaling, Bronze nodded his head and went to the corner the get some recharge. As he sat down the youngling came running over and jumped onto his lap and curled up near his spark chamber. There the two of them drifted off into a much needed recharge.
Sunlight had found its way through the cracks hitting Bronze Bow in the optic. Groaning, the dark blue mech carefully moved the small femmling off of him as he got up and stretched. Today would hopefully be the day they would make it to Iacon.
As Bronze began thinking of the route to take, Cloud slowly got up. "Ah, morning Cloud. How did you sleep?" The red femme was never a morning bot and just nodded at her older brother. "Good, cause today we may be able to make it to Iacon. Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah. But do you have any energon?" Seeing the small bot rub her tank, Bronze pulled out the small bit of energon he had found. Taking a small sip of the substance he handed the rest to Cloud. "Is that all we have?"
"Yeah Cloud. But we'll get more later." Cloud shook her head, "save it for later, just in case." Bronze looked down at his sister and saw that she was not going to budge; according to Goldrush, Cloud was one of the most hard headed bots he had ever meet when she puts her mind on something, making reasoning a very hard task. "Fine. Then let's get moving."
Though Bronze could transform and drive, Cloud could not. They were unsure of why, they could not even tell what the younglings alt. mode was. She had wings on her back, but they looked as though they could be vehicle doors or jet wings. Without the proper medical scan to show what the alt. mode was and why she could not transform.
But being too tired to carry the young bot in his spark chamber, they traveled on foot. Sure it was slower, but it conserved energon and made sure that they were together.
As the sun hit the middle of the sky, a loud sound could be heard. "What's that?" Bronze listened more closely until it hit him. The sound of a seeker. "Cloud, we need to hide."
Looking around Bronze found a fallen wall that was propped up against another, making an opening just big enough for a youngling. Walking over to the spot, Bronze quickly told Cloud to get into it and no matter what happens don't come out until his return. "But Bron-"
"No buts. Stay until I come back." And with that the large blue mech left to find a hiding place of his own.
