Sky pants heavily, hunching over her knees. Her nightmares never appeared. Rose rubs sky back, looking at her mother with answers.
It can not be.. By the primes, let it not be..Hope frowns, moving sky onto the bed and rubs her head.
"Hope, is she alright?" June asked, walking slowly over to them.
Hope looked over at june slightly before turning her gaze at sky, watching her daughter eyes slowly shut close, listening to her breathing that slowly even up. Is it the vision of the primes? Hope questioned herself.
" Nurse darby, i think it would be best to allow hope some time to her daughters."Ratchet said, convincing the women enough to see her walk back back to the others.
"You mean something's down there inside our planet?"Miko asked, pointing at the ground form bulkhead shoulders.
"I fear that the earth's very core is not comprised of magma as you're science has suggested, but of dark energon." Optimus stated, looking at the humans carefully.
"And if we're hearing a spark, then unicron is the rising darkness that the prophecy foretold." Ratchet pointed out, rubbing his chin lightly.
"So, how do we spot this thing from rising?" Fowler asked, looking at optimus
"That, i am afraid was not foretold." Optimus said, shaking his head
"How can something be in our earth's core?" Hope asked, standing up as she crossed her arms.
"And be alive?" June asked, looking at them.
"Such a thing is not unprecedented."Optimus said before telling the tale
Oh i knew where this was going. Hope through to herself, walking to the railing.
"Before the beginning, There was primus, and there was unicron. One, the incarnation of creation and the other of destruction. For eons, primus and unicron battled.." Hope could see the distance in optimus optics as he told the tale. " The balance of power shifting between them more times then could be counted. Only by creating the thirteen, the original primes who preceded me, was primus finally able defeated unicron and cast him out. Primus became one with the very core of our planet, creating life through the well of allspark.. While unicron was never to be heard from again, until now." Optimus said, finishing the story.
As i fear, both rose and sky have those same markings, the thirteen prime, but which crossed her arms in thought
"Maybe we can find the hole this uber-'con left when he dug himself all the way down there and fill it full of explosives." Fowler said harshly,
"Agent fowler, i do not think optimus meant it that way of how unicron gotten to earth." Hope said calmly, earning a confused look from fowler.
"Nurse crowell is right, I do not believe that earth became unicron home but rather that with time and gravitational force devries collected around the slumbering titan." Optimus said calmly, nodding at hope.
"Forming your earth itself." Ratchet said calmly, looking at fowler.
"It wasn't hard to figure out. Unicron blood wouldn't it simply go through the core willingly if unicron had landed on the planet. But with time and years upon years of rocks and meteorites piling up and hovering in front of the sun, he began to create life of his own without knowing it." Hope pointed it out, earning surprising looked from her friends and family.
"And what now? He only awakening now due to the magnetic pull created by the planetary alignment." Arcee said calmly
"Okay, well, what happens when unicron wakes ups from his billion-year nap?" Jack questioned, crossing his arms.
"Yeah, does he stretch and Kapow!" Miko said, making a explosion stance on her bum.
"Earth poufs to dust?" Rose questioned.
June looked down before hope walked over. "You don't know, do you?" Hope asked, sighing softly.
"My guess is that unicron has transcended physical form as we know it. Nonetheless, we must find a way to ensure that this force of nature never fully awakes. The fate of your planet depends upon it."Optimus said sternly.
Hope and rose looked at each other before turning toward sky, who tossed and turn every second on the couch. Ratchet gazed at hope, seeing her lost in thought and words. "Hope, may i ask you of something back in the lab, perhaps i can see if your knowledge will allow this to work." Ratchet questioned calmly.
Hope nodded her head, walking to ratchet before allowing him to pick her up carefully and set her on the ground as he walks out of the main room, heading toward the lab. Hope followed closely behind him.
"Ratchet, what is this about?" hope questioned the medic in front of her.
Ratchet walked into the lab as hope followed inside but what stopped her, caused her to freeze. Her optics gazed at the mech in front of her, resting on a slanted berth. Life support systems keeping his frame alive.
The green mech chassis raised and fell, His servo's were partly replaced with newly digits. His right leg was barely repaired. The side of his red visor was broken and cracked, revealing his offlined optics. His right shoulder plate was completely missing, revealing the silver protoform.
But what caught her attention was the blue glow emanating form under the attached tubing where the spark was. He's alive.. Long haul.. Alive. Tears swelled in hopes eyes as she walked closer to long haul side, resting her hand on his remaining leg.
"He's been in stasis for quite sometime now. He remained online during the time on cybertron. He shattered all bonds to he would make sure you stayed online with scavenger. To our surprise, he survived when arcee and cliffjumper rescue him from shockwave." Ratchet said calmly, watching hope carefully.
Hope nodded shakily, resting her head on long haul remaining leg, crying softly."I'm just glad he's here." Hope muttered softly.
"Hook, you're daughters are they, by chance, reincarnations of thirteen primes.." Ratchet questioned calmly, looking through his equipment
"Yes, Sky visions seem to have made a turn. She won't speak of them but she does know what's to come, she always have." Hope sighs and sat down by long hauls foot, rubbing her eyes.
"And rose?" Ratchet looked at hope and began to work on long hauls servos.
"I don't know."Hope looked up at ratchet. "She has that tinkering gift, but so nowhere near solus prime. If you have a datapad of prime markings, it will be helpful." Hope said calmly, looking at ratchet.
Ratchet nearly dropped his equipment, whipping his head around to stare at hope in shock. "They already started to develop their prime markings!" Ratchet said, nearly shouting.
"Shh!" Hope hissed at ratchet, before sighs. "Quiet. Only scavenger knows. But yes. Their antennas are almost formed and the markings are showing." Hope said calmly, pulling her knees to her chest.
"When will you tell optimus about it?" Ratchet questioned, looking at hope sternly.
"Planning on telling him after all this, after i tell the girls about who he is."Hope said softly, wrapping her arms around her legs.
Ratchet frowns, nodding his head and smiled slightly. "You do make the right choices, hook. I am glad i had found out before the others." Ratchet said, keeping that slight smile.
"I'm glad you did. Ratchet, thankyou. For everything. Accepting us, saving long haul, keeping our secret. Wouldn't do it without you, my friend." Hope said calmly, returning the smile.
Ratchet snorts. "Puh-lease, without me, you wouldn't know what to do. Always needed that edge." Ratchet said with snark, smirking at hope.
"Watch it ratchet, i already said thank you, not to be at your mercy."Hope warned, pointing her finger at him.
Ratchet blinked before chuckling softly.
(Sky Pov)
Her head started to hurt again. She raised her hands up, rubbing both sides of her head slightly to ease the incoming headache. Closing her eyes tightly, she felt the painful headache come and stay. She couldn't understand why it becoming an every minute dream.
Her eyes shot open. The pain increased within head. Her fingertips pressed against her scalp as she began to whimper. Tears slowly forming on both corners of her eyes. "R-rose.."She whined for her sister.
If on que, rose had moved toward sky and wrapped her arms around her younger twin. She could feel rose shift a little by the head, searching for their mother until sky mouth opened, letting out a scream of pain.
Her vision faded to black, replacing the darkness with an image of the volcano. One similar to the same volcano she had saw but this time.. She could almost see into it but the dark, volcanic smoke covered the opening.
But a single gray frame was spotted, megatron. She recognized him, seeing him stand on the edge of the volcano. Grinning." I feel your presences! Share your very spark! I call on you as my lord and master, oh, mighty unicron." Sky had heard megatron chant out the words.
She watched the volcano rumble before the optics and face formed within the volcanic smoke. Megatron slowly stepped back." Who dares to speak to me?" Unicron said coldly and demandingly.
Megatron kneeled down toward the sight of unicron. "Your servant, most humble." Megatron said, bowing before gesturing toward himself. "Megatron, leader of the decepticons, and your very harald, the one who wielded the dark energon which bind us to awaken you once again! The prophecy has been fulfilled! It's only the beginning of what we should accomplish together"
Was this the prophecy?! To awaken unicron?! She watched megatron stood up. Her eyes widen slowly, listening his next words carefully. " For you shall rule this planet and those who walk upon it through me!" Megatron stated.
If sky could, she would tensed up by his words right now. " Prideful fool!" Megatron tensed, his optics widen in shock. " How dare you to think you are capable of summoning my life force? I rise because i have deemed it my time!" Unicron smoke face moved closer to megatron"Unicron warned megatron.
"Master.."Megatron stepped back, away from him. "I did not mean to overstep."Megatron said, almost graveling to him
"Silence, worm!" Unicron raises up. Sky eyes narrowed, seeming the smoke clearing up a little to show the shadow figure of his form. "I have no need of your lowly assistance." Unicron stated, staring down at megatron.
Megatron thought for a second before getting onto his knees, now graveling to unicron. "Please, my lord! I exist only to serve you!" Megatron plead.
Sky now kinda feel bad for megatron, kind but not really. She watch the vision slowly began to fade. "What is this i sense?" She heard unicron say. "A taint of primus? Here?" Unicron said with shock.
Megatron began to stood up. "That is optimus the last of the primes, our sworn enemy." Megatron stated calmly, holding an iron fist up.
"You profess loyalty to me, yet allow a disciple's of primus to live?!" Unicron said in a scolding question.
Disciple's? There more than one prime? Sky questioned herself..
"I will destroy him for you!" Megatron said with courage. "His screams will be heard!"
"I grow weary of your prattle. Surely if you had the power to destroy this prime, You would have done so already. I will deal with him myself" She heard unicron said before his figure disappeared within the smoke.
The image turned black before sending her back into darkness. She could hear the pounding of a heart beat. Her eyes slowly began to flutter open as her vision began to clear, seeing the haze image of two people standing over her.
Once her vision clears, she noticed the worried look of her mother and sister face. She moved a bit as she sat up, her hands curled on the edge of the cushion as she rubs her head lightly. The pain from her headaches were gone.. The video like image that played through her head was longer than she expected.
"You okay, sky?" Rose voice snapped sky out of her thoughts.
With a nod of her head, she smiled lightly." Yeah, i'm fine."Sky said quietly.
::Ratchet..:: Optimus voiced from the comm's, made sky wonder what had happened while she was 'knocked out '. ::This epicenter is consistent with the finding of the others.:: Optimus said calmly.
:: Its terrain is rich in ore, just like the others.:: Scavenger announced.
"So, what does that tell us?" Fowler questioned.
Hope stood up, walking toward june side before setting her hands on the railing calmly. Rose helped sky up and over to the three children. "It follows that the natural metals in our earth's would be extensions of unicron" Hope said calmly, watching her daughters closely.
"His limbs, if you will."Ratchet pointed out
"So, he did have his morning stretch, which is why these quakes happened."June said calmly.
The fast beeping rate was heard. Hope looked up toward the reading, understanding it perfectly. "Optimus, i'm detecting a swell in unicron spark activity." Ratchet informed.
::Rest assured, ratchet, i will proceed with vigilance.:: Optimus reassured calmly.
Hope could hear something in the background of optimus's com-link. Her spark increased a bit more but she kept it hidden. She gripped the handles as she could tell that dry tone voice was not optimus at all. Unicron.. There?!
Metal on rock clashing sounds were wear. She couldn't believe what was gone until optimus voice rang out. :: I humbly request your audio, lord unicron.:: Optimus made a request.
::Prime, what are you-:: Scavenger voice rang out but paused. Hope could tell why scavenger had stop. Optimus probably used his stern glare, i wonder..
::And what would a prime be so compelled to say to me?:: Unicron voice was heard out. Hope head turned toward the children then at the adults in confusion.
:: To make this appeal not for myself but for this planet which you constitute and the beings who inhabit it. Humankind relies upon you for life, sustenance. Your resurrection will only result in the destruction of a species which evolved from the seed of your greatness.:: Optimus explained calmly.
I don't think… unicron will be kind enough to thought to herself, her lips frowning softly as she crossed her arms over her chest lightly.
::So, this humankind of whom you speak, you consider them my progeny?:: Unicron said, pointing out his question.
::Indeed.:: Optimus stated.
::Parasites! They, too, shall know my wrathful hand once i am finished with you!:: Unicron said loudly.
::Optimus!: Scavenger yelled before he was cut off from the comlink.
Hope eyes widen. Her arms tighten around her small figure as she frowns could a god like unicron sound so cold. He's worse then what earth's devil is. She shivered at the thought.
The sounds of a grunt was heard from the comlink that snapped her thoughts away as she looked toward the computer. "Ratchet what's going on?" Hope asked quietly, almost in a whisper. Her golden brown eyes looked toward the medic in fear.
Ratchet head turned toward her. He could see the fear in her eyes before his attention returned toward the computer, working his way to get a satellite feed.
Fire blast were heard next before another set of rumbles were heard until the voices as if more the one unicron was there. ::Yes, disciple of primus, on this very day, for unicron may be one, but we all are unicron!:: They said in union.
