Chapter 7
Truth
Hellion POV
I looked around as I walked into a cave that Ratchet's scans had shown contained energon. As I walked deeper, I noticed a lack of any signs of the 'Cons even being here. Once I reached what seemed like the end, I knew something was wrong. My suspicion was confirmed...when I saw a 'Con I vaguely Recognized - Barricade.
"I knew one of you Autobrats would show up eventually." he said, "But I didn't think Grimlock's SIC of all mechs would show up."
"I didn't think you even knew what patience was, Barricade." I said, "Usually you prefer to ram head first into your enemies, rather than wait."
"Well I had to adopt a new strategy, considering what could happen if I fought your whole team at once." he said, "And that reminds me...where IS your team? Oh yeah, that's right, with Shockwave!"
"I'll make you regret those words!" I yelled.
I charged at him and aimed my flamethrowers forward, unleashing a torrent of fire. I stopped when I noticed he dissapeared. I barely dodged a sword in time, as I remembered he could cloak himself.
"Can't hit what you can't see, can you Autobrat?" he said.
"Just because I can't track you." I started, "Doesn't mean I can't hit you!"
I started unleashing fire again, this time not caring about aiming. I stopped and took my axe out and did something I knew had a high chance of failing. I threw my axe, hoping to catch him off guard and hit him. I looked on in surprise as I saw it impact something and energon splash out of nowhere. I watched as Barricade flashed back into sight, clutching his right shoulder. I watched as he looked down at my axe - which I could only tell because of his head tilting due to his visor - and stabbed his sword into it and twisted it, breaking it. I charged towards him as he started running, a trail of energon behind him. I looked down at my axe and knew I shouldn't even bother repairing it, as it'd just break again.
I grabbed my head as a surge of pain ran through it, and I slipped into unconciousness. Just like before, my carrier appeared before me, a smile on her faceplate.
"I am sorry that I had to do that." she said, "But it was the only way to bring you here."
"Where IS here?" I said, as I did not recognize the area around me.
"This, my child...is Cybres, the home dimension of your sire." she said.
"Cybres? Home...dimension?" I asked.
"Yes, this is the homeworld of the Autari and Soruns." she said.
I looked around, the planet looked like Cybertron does now. My optics widened when I saw a mech that looked like Grimlock, only he was gold, where Grimlock was silver.
"That is your sire, Stormsword, or Ventanar in Cybreian." she said.
I looked in awe, she had told me stories of my sire when I was a sparkling. I had always wished to finally meet him, and to find out he is from an alternate dimension was...amazing. I looked towards Firesoul as she began speaking again.
"Primus was generous, and allowed me to bring you here to see him." she said, "As we are now, we are both solid, and can be seen."
She walked towards my sire, and I followed behind her. Once we reached him, she tapped his shoulder. He turned, and even though he had a visor I could tell he was surprised.
"Firesoul!?" he said.
"Yes, it is me Ventanar." she said.
"You're alive." he said, "But...I felt you die through the bond!"
"I am dead, but Primus has allowed me to come here...along with our son." she said.
I took that as my cue and walked up to him. He looked at me and then back to mother. She nodded at him, and he put a servo on my shoulder.
"It is good to finally meet you, Firestorm, my son." he said, "I knew Firesoul was carrying a sparkling, but I was never able to see you myself."
"Firestorm? My name is Hellion." I said.
"Here, a child's name is a mix of their parent's." she said, "Hence why he calls you Firestorm."
I watched as Ventanar went into what I assumed was his home and shut the door. I watched, curiously, as he came out...hefting an axe, with jagged edges on the blade, and an insignia between the blades I did not recognize. He came over and held it out to me.
"This Is Autarfaer, or Phoenixfyre." he said, "I had made this, planning to train you to become a warrior, but it seems you became one regardless. Make me proud son."
"I will...father." I said.
I took the axe and looked in surprise as the blades ignited. So that's why it got it's name. I swung it a few times, testing it out. I nodded as I got used to it's weight, it was about the same as my old axe, despite being bigger. I grabbed my head and groaned as I felt a pull at my spark.
"It is time to return to our world, Hellion." she said, "Do not worry, it is only because you are waking up."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You are able to come here when not in the waking world." she said, "But you may still speak to Ventanar, as the family bond is now open."
I looked back at my father as he put a servo on my shoulder again. I could feel through the bond that he was sad I had to leave for now, but happy that we met.
"Scrap some 'Cons Firestorm." he said.
I grinned and nodded as I was pulled back to my world. I groaned as I sat up and saw I was still at the cave. I looked to my right, and to my surprise, Phoenixfyre was there. I picked it up, and rested it on my shoulder as I walked out...only to be confronted by Vortex, a Combaticon.
"Surprising that you are still here, Hellion." he said, "I thought you would've run back to your friends after your little encounter with Barricade."
"I'm going to enjoy scrapping you, creep!" I yelled.
He started laughing and his arm transformed into a blaster. I decided to test my new axe, and charged towards him. I swung and he dodged and started backpedaling. I looked at my axe and decided to try something. I threw the axe at him, and he dodged to the side. To my surprise...a shockwave of fire flew from where my axe impacted. It seemed Vortex was just as surprised, and I took the chance to charge at him and punch him in the faceplate. I then grabbed my axe and lifted it, before slamming it down into his side. I lifted it again...and rested it on my shoulder, walking away.
"Return to your team, Vortex." I said, "And tell Brawl...I'm going to get my revenge."
I walked out of the cave and prepared to transform...before I heard a boom and saw a, likely wounded, Cybertronian land nearby. I walked towards her, atleast I assumed it was a femme, as I heard her groan. I turned her over to check her and saw an insignia on her. The very same one my sire and axe had. I called for a groundbridge and lifted her up. I hoped a Cybreian's body was similar enough to a Cybertronian's so Ratchet could fix her. I looked as a groundbridge opened, and I walked through.
And that was chapter 7. Wondering who the mystery femme is? Well, let's just say she belongs to Elhini Prime, along with the realm of Cybres.
