Lol, so I didn't attend courses today and it's sports fest week at least I can update today.

Retrokill: Hahaha... XD I wanted to start things in a fun way. How are ya? This week for me is a bummer.

Disclaimer: Hasbro owns Transformers, I just own this fic.

Even though my tanks were already empty from my earlier tirade, I still wanted to void as I got deeper and deeper in the ship. Para had told me to not come in but I insisted saying that I cannot abandon others no matter what the circumstances could be. I almost backed out when I saw Paramount's glare for the first time and it was directed at me but not in a bad way(?), I couldn't tell. I know that he was worried for me and that is why he was prohibiting me. I just reassured him that I'm going to be fine so he could let me go.

I didn't know why they didn't just rip the ship's roof so we could all know what was inside of it that way but Para had told me that it was not necessary. I tilted my head but silently nodded before entering the wrecked ship. I prayed to Primus to help me get my bearings in place and help me throughout this little expedition of mine.

When I got to the second entrance, I had fell immediately on my aft. The first thing that comes to my view when it had opened was the face of a frightened mech who looks to be screaming and running away before he was frozen. I can see that his right arm was outstretched and mid way down was crushed and detached from him. I saw that other half at the back of me when I had turned. When the passage must have closed, the arm was severed.

As I said, the mech was running away judging from the pose he was in. When I had looked at what was at his back, this was what made me want to void. The mech had another attached to him in the same frozen state. His dental plates were over his side and was sinking into him with that sharp plating. I saw the dried energon all over his mouth plates. The first thing that came into my mind was predatorism. The act on feeding off another sentient being that has the same life force as the predator to survive. I can't believe that it was now right in front of me!

I whimpered as I saw more when I got deeper. There was a mech at the side with an arm from a different bot and if I am not mistaking it was from the bot he was sitting on. There was another who was still in the motion of sucking energon out of a leg. Jumping over them, I continued my search for the one who was pinning me. I saw small frames scattered everywhere. There was even a pile besides another mech...

Something inside my processor click and conclude that small mechs are the prey here. I couldn't help shiver at the thought of how the others had been treated before being fed at. I wish Para was here to comfort me. I would also take Metroplex treating me like a new spark...

I was about to back out when I heard voices at a nearby room. Surrendering to my curiosity, I had snuck my helm out for my optics to see. I found 3 seekers in there, one being ganged up by the other two.

"Just a little bit, lil' Glide~! I promise that once I get that amount, i'll stop." I heard the black and silver lined seeker say in a sickening voice. I could even feel my spark turn cold when it sounded getting crazier every nanoklik on the way. He had lost one of his trusters and an arm on his left side. The cockpit's glass was shattered and some wires were hanging off from different parts of his body. He stood straight and tall over the other seeker that was now on his aft, crawling back.

That one was in the shade of white with blue racing stripes on his frame. His servos were also blue as his stabilizing servos were. But like the other two, he sported scratches and dents although not us much as what the other have. His paint was still clean but splashes of energon were there. I had cringed when I saw that one of his wings were gone. Wires were sparking at his back from being teared right off perhaps...

"Yeah, lil' bro. Just let us on your healthy systems and we'll leave you alone again..." The last seeker said. This one has red as an overall paint job with black lines. I wonder why they like dark colors so much... This one has a scratchy voice... after looking at his joint below the helm, I knew why. He had a large gash from the top to his shoulder girdle. If i'm not mistaking, he was patched up after being slashed from the side. There was also a large piece of metal stuck in between his wings. If he opens them, it would tear his wings apart.

"No, Aerolock... I remembered the last time you said that and I remember regretting it! You almost off-lined me! And not you too, Chainslash... No! No no no no! Get a hold of yourselves, you two!" Not before long, the two were on him. I was in a stance to run and save him... until I felt myself held down. Then heard metal crumpling from behind me.

I had screamed as pain registered in my processor coming from my leg. I looked back and saw a mech had sunk his dental plating into my leg... I let out another scream as I felt my left arm being bitten also. It was another feral mech... ones that look like those who I had seen earlier.

The screams had caught the seekers attention but I didn't care. They should stop this! "Stop! Stop! Please stop this! I'm trying to help!" I pleaded as I wriggled, trying to get away. I felt the sharp plates on my leg left but I heard someone say something from behind me.

"Help? Why thank you! You'll be helping us by being our lunch!" He cackled like a lunatic as he tried to bit off what was left of my exoskeleton. I waited for the pain as I kept my optics shut but it never came.

There was a shout then metals colliding and soon... I found myself hitting a wall.

"This is our territory glitching scrap heads... She's ours to take! She's our energon!" The silver-lined seeker shouted and let out another roar as he restrained the violet grounder. That grounder was the same feral mech that was chewing off my leg earlier.

The other mech that had latched onto my arm was dark green in color with some neon green linings. This one was held by the seeker Chainslash.

"W-whaht h-happehned toh youh guhys?" I whimpered as my optics leak. My intake system was harder to control because I was clearly panicking as I tried to think of what to do. I didn't even notice the one-winged seeker come to my side and surprised me by licking my face plates up to the corner of my optics.

I stared at him on full alert. I can see that he was cycling air fast and his glossa run over his dental plates. Not a nano klik later, he had realized what he had done and began to apologize frantically at me.

"I-i'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to! It was just... that was energon... I mean-" He suddenly stopped and assessed my frame. He suddenly scooped me up and ran to a door that I didn't know was there. The others had noticed this and made a feral growl. They came rushing at us; making me scream when the violet grounder had only mere inches before he could get me. The entrance suddenly closed up crushing the arm and detaching it from its owner. I had screamed again at that. The mechs arm! It was torn off because of me!

"Hey... hey... shh... shh..." I didn't notice that we were on the ground as he held me in his arms. He was rubbing my door wings, trying to calm me.

I reached out to the had but he didn't let me. "I'm sorry! " I shouted as I tried to reach for the arm. I knew that he was probably looking at me like I was glitched but I don't care! It was here because of me!

"Hey, hey... it's not your fault. It is not. Calm down, calm down..." He whispered to me. I just noticed that he was licking the energon coming down from my optics again. "He was going to feed on you anyway... I should be the one asking for forgiveness... You had went here just because of the signal, right?" He said as he stood up with me in his arms. I couldn't walk even if I ask him to put me down. The pain receptors on my leg had just shut down making it numb and immobile.

He carried me deeper down the hallway and went into a room that was probably his. I never doubted going in with him. I got a feeling that with him, I'll be safe as I'll ever be.

The words he said earlier had sunk into me... "You were the one who had sent that?" I asked him in panick as he laid me down on the his berth.

"Uhh... no... They were the ones who have been sending that. It is what they use to lure others here for them to feed off to. If you saw those frozen and decapitated mechs when you got in here, they were the ones who were trying to escape after following the signal. They were supposed to be cleaned before they start luring again but as you saw them earlier... they had lost their processors." He said as he sat besides me twiddling with his digits on his servo.

"I'm Glider by the way... and this is a part of the ship that I know they would have a hard time looking for us so don't you worry... I'm also the last sane mech here. This wouldn't have happened if the war didn't started. Me and my brothers would have been happy flying through the skies over Cybertron. Everything would have been better!" He shouted angrily as his intakes took in air faster to cool his over heating systems.

I patted his helm, stroking his antenna and his wing to let him relax. I saw his dents and scratches... so I took out me kit. To our surprise, there was a chain of energon cubes dangling from it.

"I-is that what I think it is?" He asked astonished. He started looking at it hungrily as his body spasmed.

"Yeah, Paramount must have slid it in me when I wasn't looking!" I sighed in relief. "My designation is Nimbus, it is nice to meet you Glider." I thank Para silently for attaching this earlier. The big mech must have slid it in when I was on the run...

Before I could reach out to the cubes' chain to unclip it, he had snatch it in a swift move as he drank it greedily. I just let him be and started on rubbing him again. I also untangled his wires... smiling as I heared him groan in satisfaction. When he had finished half of the dozen cubes, I sat back to get the kit and start fixing him up. I never did get to reach it when he had jump at me.

He was nuzzling me with his affection and enveloping me in his arms. I can also feel his satisfaction and gratefulness radiate from his frame.

I awkwardly stayed still as his hold got even tighter. Soon, I can feel liquids start drooping onto my plating. He was probably leaking his optics out now.

I smile a small smile as I sighed in relief for him. "There, there Glider! Everything is going to be alright now! I have your back. Once we get you guys out of this ship, me, Paramount and Metroplex will help you all. And maybe you could give us a helping hand in rebuilding?" I saw hope for them... nothing was going to go wrong for them from here on out. I'll assure them that!

"Anythin' for you, my hope. Anythin'..." He curled besides me as he never let go. I awkwardly stayed still in the whole fiasco but relaxed a little bit when I started reviewing the full file that the Special Program gave to me that was about seekers... I had cringed at the things I had found out besides the basic about them... it was about bonds...

' Seekers are the most sensitive Cybertronian models. They live in trines so that they get some support from another unit that rivals a family bond. Once the bond of a trine is broken, the seekers would likely start glitching to the point he is not what he once was. This glitch only occurs to those who has the deepest bonds throughout the three. The only way to help this type of seeker is that if he has something to hold onto other than the trine bond. This is applicable if the bond is as strong as the other. Seekers who have found their sparkmates tend to focus on the other half preventing them from glitching. But if ever a seeker has no other bond, he or she would likely search for it until the void can be filled.

Seekers who had broken bonds tend to be more clingy and dedicated to those who had given them another form of leverage. This could be a good thing or a bad thing judging on how the 'bot the seeker is attached to, (a gronder or another seeker) sees it.

Remember that broken bonds are hard to fix... '

...because not everything can come back to the way it once was...

I had blinked when I heard the voice again it my processor. It has been a long time now but it was still there. I couldn't help get a feeling of relief from it.

A few kliks flew by when I had stopped reading. I felt myself being shifted to lay above him. Oh, he was done brooding... "I'm sorry that i'm getting a little too clingy, lady Nimbus..." he said to me as he made a move to sit up. I stopped him though because laying over his chest plate that was wider than me was really comfortable. I miss Para and Metroplex really badly now... He was clearly wider at the upper half before slimming down. He was also a good 2 ft higher than me.

"It's alright. Don't think too much about it. Also, don't call me lady. You are family now! And family does not call each other with such preposterous titles." I saw his optics leaking again as he smiled for the first time at me. Wow, I am really seeing more things out of the ordinary today.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much my lil' hope. I promise you that i'll keep you safe and sound and protect you till the end of my spark. You are really the hope I was waiting for. Thank you Primus for giving me your angel." Something stirred in me when I heard the word angel. I got a feeling that it was familiar...

Earlier, this seeker looks like he was about to give up his spark when I saw him but now, it was like vigor had overtaken him, making him radiate with determination. I managed to help him... Another glitch for another glitch it seems... we could understand each other quite well...

Longest Chapter EVER! :)
