It was in this chapter the story lead me into another direction than I had expected, so I let my muse lead me and I just wrote down the words. So if this turn of events shock you now, you should not read the rest of it. I will upload more frequently since I have been working on this story for quit a while now and my muse did not let me recharge or refuel to much, it had to be written down. We are the Enigma and will create a puzzle to drive all of you crazy.


With the ceremony for the bonding only a one week away, things got very secretive at the neutral base. Enigma and Dino saw bots talk to one another in the hallway, outside the rec room or other places and as soon as they were spotted the bots darted away grinning at them.

Enigma did not try to find out what they had in mind or had planned, Dino was a bit more anxious to find out but was told to take a walk to the moon.

With Terra's ship Dragon Fire in orbit, everyone was getting edgy as well. The landing was planned within a few days, the delay was caused by the approval of the landing site.

The red tape word was used a lot lately and Enigma wanted Terra to be present at her bonding feast so that was delayed as well.. It gave Sideswipe some extra days in creating his famous high grade batches, so he did not mind too much.

He spend his time between creating his batches and his sparkling which he had named Juno.

All the young caretakers gathered when it was feeding time, spending the precious moment with their little ones, whom they saw grow fast into their new sparkling frame.

Bumblebee had called his little one precious, for that was how he felt about her.

Hound had called his sparkling Digger because he had to dig himself out of the chamber, he said. And Elita had called her mechling Polaris only because she liked the name and for no other reason.

Enigma and Dino both took times with Luna and Sirius to make sure both of them could bond with their sparklings.

Knowing that soon after their bonding they would leave for a week and leave the care of their little ones in the hands of Alpha as the main caretaker for their sparklings.

But today Enigma had called Sideswipe and Sunstreaker and her mate to take a drive, away from the base and the madness that was in there.

They drove first in a nice and orderly way, only to step on it once out of sight. Racing and having fun. Enigma was getting better at it but had to call Side and his brother the winners of the race, telling them to take a turn of the road straight into an abandoned old warehouse she followed Side and Dino while Sunstreaker closed the group.

Inside they transformed and looked around the place. Enigma just sat down and tapped on the floor inviting the others to sit down as well. Sunny looked at it but decided to stand, no way was he gonna sit down in this filth.

Side made a growling sound at his brother, Enigma had never heard that sound before, it made Dino chuckle a bit.

But Sunny sat down after that he looked angry at Enigma but he accepted his brothers correction.

Enigma looked at them, "I chose this place because no one knows we are here, I wanted to discuss something with you guys and I could do without the extra ears we have in the base.

I wanted to discuss the Canadian base we found and I wanna hear some experiences of those who had been in it and after that I will tell you what I was told all right."

Side felt uncomfortable at the idea of telling, he had been afraid in that base but some how looking at Enigma it seemed she already knew, so he cleared his throat and started to tell his experience in the base not leaving anything out of it. The feeling he was surrounded by something he could not see but did feel. The feeling someone was watching him, as if it was walking behind him, teasing him, wanted something from him. He sighed, feeling better he had it from his chest.

Sunny looked at his brother, "Jeez Siders if I did not know you that well, I would have suggested you asked Ratchet for a complete checkup of your processor."

"Dino, smirked, well that makes two of us. When I stood there alone waiting for that little scraplet drone, not knowing it was a little drone at that time of course, I too felt this thing as if it was squeezing my frame compressing it to shreds. I told myself it was the place itself but now hearing you say this, a front liner who cheated death more than once and who is not afraid to race into battle, I know that what I felt might be weird but at least I am not alone in it."

Enigma nodded, at what she heard, "You know Director Mearing told me they still have readings from that base which is strange because nobody was found there."

But I am also interested at both of your experiences, was wondering if it was normal for your people to have these kind of things, which humans would call paranormal.

Sunny snorted, "rubbish, he said, when you die you go to the well and that is it. There are no such things as ghosts and other idiot things."

"Side made a growling sound at the remarks of his brother and what about me then, am I an idiot to for experiencing these things and what about Dino, we both have known him for being a very grounded mech who hated anything unexplainable and always made sure everyone knew that as well. And yet he too experienced something unexplainable at that base. And another thing, if you die and go to the bloody well, what in Primus name are you doing here then, it is unexplainable you are here, or are you really not here at all and are we experiencing an apparition of what used to be a very irritating presence of a mech with an attitude problem."

Sunstreaker looked dark at his brother. "You take that back you half wit or." "Or what, Side replied, ya gonna beat the slag out of me. Come on then I take you on it."

Enigma smirked at them and stood up. "Go ahead the both of you."

Dino got up fast and together they stepped back. The signal was clear and Sunstreaker launched himself at his brother.

Dino looked at his mate, "Should we not intervene, I mean if those two get into a fight it can last for as long as days they will not give in to one another."

Sss my dear spark, let them fight it out, this has been coming for a while and they need to clear the air between them, no room for that in our base, without some nitwit making a bet out of it."

Dino smirked, "you know one day we might have that as well with our twins." while he stepped aside a bit more, while the two front liners crashed into one another. "Who do you think will win this." Side," Enigma smirked, definitely side. I root for him. Hm Sunny is the more aggressive one, he will go for the kill. Enigma laughed out loud, "wanna bet."

"I thought you said you did not wanted some nitwit make a bet out of this brotherly expression of love,"Dino chuckled, moving his mate aside from the fight.

Enigma sat down on the far side of the fight and took two cubes of high grade out of her subspace. We'll see, it is possible they both give in, they have been apart for a long time, have missed each other tremendously, blame each other for not being there and they need to express their grief , happiness and the long fear of not being able to see each other ever again. And Sunny has been acting up, they moved on as if time had not been between them so yes they need to blow off some steam and rekindle and establish their old or maybe new roles in life."

"You are a lousy boss do know that,Dino smirked, taking a sip from his highgrade. Optimus would not let this happen." Sure about that my love, it was him who told me that anytime soon a bomb would go of between them, he warned me for this, and he also told me to step aside and do not attempt to step in, or I would l be the one ending in the medbay."

Dino looked at her in disbelief, "Did he say that, when?". "Hm a few days ago, they had brought the newest batches to the party ground and he noticed some very tense behavior between them, Sunny was mocking and Side growling they were not at ease with one another for some reason, so I watched the both of them and decided to come here and see what would tick them off."

"Well you definitely managed to tick them both of, "Enigma laughed no dear I just pushed the right button that is all.

"YOU SLAGGER YOU FRAGGED MY DAMN PAINT," Sunstreaker raced after his brother who rolled out of sight. "I'll RIP ALL YOUR FRAGGING PAINT OFF YOUR PLATING, YOU PIT SPAWN IDIOT!" Side replied mockingly.

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK OR I TEAR YOUR WHEELS OFF!"

Enigma took another cube out of her subspace, "I really love this, she murmured always wondered how brothers would deal with old grief, and it seems to me they just create new grief, poor Sunny. I just painted his bloody panel and look at it now, he will make Side repaint him for sure."

"Dino just drank his high grade in silence, smirking at the whole scene, it looked to him the fight was more a little game than an actual fight. Sunny still had his aggression and Side his old teasing method, no one would win, they would just fight until they got tired and then make up to each other, he never really understood the two, it seemed the could not live with or without each other, stood like a wall if some one came after them but put those two in a room and a fight would break out, if there was no one else they could irritate each other.

Sunny had his irritating vanity and Side his obnoxious cockiness.

"Still wanna frag Side," Enigma said, out of the blue. It made Dino choke on his high grade, "That was ages ago, you promised we would not mention that ever." Well I have to admit he looks hot, she smirked, do know that after they fight they wanna get the rest of the energy out of them."

"You evil glitch, Dino snorted, you're drunk. or getting there. "Yep Enigma said, opening another cube of high grade and know what, I like it."

"We are bonded, demonic femme," Dino said, getting angry. "Hm it did not make you stop looking at Sides aft."

"You wanna frag him senseless my dear mate admit it," "Dino,s mouth plate fell open and he closed it again. grabbing a cube of high grade for himself he downed it in two seconds. Wiping his mouthpiece he made a burping and rumbling sound."

"If you get drunk so do I, Dino said, than at least then I will not be responsible for my actions, he said smirking.

"Oh but you are, you get drunk willingly, knowing what you will do, only don't wanna do it consciously for whomever will hold you accountable for it. and use being drunk as a substitute for your conscience."

"Will you stop being an aft now, Dino said growling, better give me another cube, you're one ahead of me."

"Enigma smirked, that is more like it." And gave her mate another cube of high grade. "How many do you have in your subspace.. "Hm none, Dino replied but I did stash a crate here so we will party our processors out ,once these two are done and hopefully will still are available for reasoning." He laughed out loud now, while making the same rumbling sound as before.

"What will people say when we return and those two looked like they clashed with an army of con."

"Oh well, Prime said, to let them have it and just keep an optic at them, even if the fight would off line them together, we were not to call Ratchet but let them walk in the medbay by themselves or let us drag them in."

"And what if we looked a bit too scratched my dear." Well if they are not too tired after the party we just go to the second floor and repaint ourselves ."

"Did you think of everything, or did you just made it up along the if they do not wish to party with us," he smirked. "Than we party together and let them watch, Enigma said flatly.

"I am not sure I can have another cube right now, Dino said hiccuping slightly, I think I wait for a while, Damn strong batch this is, reminds me of the first time we met and you gave me that batch you created."

"I did make it, Enigma replied while she still watched the brothers, their fight seemed to go down in a slower pace as if they were getting tired of hurting each other. Enigma felt they were mending their pain and start to relax.

Five minutes later they just walked back to the two primes Sunny limped a bit, while side felt he won the battle of the brothers, he knew if he said it, it would repeat the event and right now he wanted to drink it off and rekindle with his brother.

Enigma offered them both a cube, which they accepted gratefully. Side looked at Enigma, Damn girl you look wasted you cannot drive back like this."

"Sunny smirked, "She is not the only one who did not waste her time in getting her processor drowned in high grade, look at the other one,"

"Dino laughed, sure we did not waste any time, Enigma won, okay she is not used to drink but yeah she got drunk first and fast too, he said patting his mate on the leg.

"Lets get drunk together and drink to good times and fun, Enigma said chuckling and toasted.

The twins looked baffled at first, then shrugged their shoulder plates and sat down. Enigma opened the crate beside her, don't worry guys, I've got enough of that. Do drink my batch for a change,making the twins take a peek inside the crate filled with high grade."

"So not Primely. Side said laughing, Frag that Enigma said I did not ask to be one, it came with the frame and never mind the spark she said hiccuping."

"Lets forget titles just be yourself that is what I want from the both of you." "Fine with me, Side said, downing his cube. Good stuff Missy, while his hand went straight into the crate to get another one out, how many did you have,"

"Four, Enigma smirked so that means you have two more to go my dear," Dino had wandered off looking for wood and came back with his arms full, we aren't going back for a while not like this he said and tossed the pile of wood on the ground, "lets make a little bonfire."

Enigma pulled the crate of high grade out of the way to make room for the fire and sat down beside it as if she wanted to guard it.

Sunny sat down beside her, "Did you plan this, he asked her, I mean did you know my brother and me needed to blow off some steam."

"I had my thoughts over it and it was Prime who mentioned it, so I decided to see what would tick you off, you can be rather predictable you know, she put her hand on his chest plate, pity I worked hard on that to get it right for you and look at it now."

Oh well we were gonna repaint ourselves for the bonding feast anyway he smirked, it happens all the time, Side always scratches my paint to piss me off."

"Like I said, so predictable Enigma's, hand went into the crate to get another cube out.

"Are you sure you wanna do that, Sunny said a little worried. Oh well if I purge, I purge, you should get worried when I start to sing, Enigma said laughing, let us just get some fun here in this dump, no one knows we are here, told them we were gonna let you two have it and would take care of your brotherly love for each other. Every one who knows you and Side have seen it coming and they said, fine as long as it does not interfere with our work.

And the party poppers are getting ready for our feast and I heard them wonder how they could get us out of the way, so we just did them a favor."

"Side, laughed, let us drink to that, but if you think we will get drunk and spill the surprise you are utterly wrong." "Yeah, we will not mention that," Sunny cut in, and emptied his cube.

"I like surprises Enigma said, looking dark don't wanna know anything that will spoil the fun out of that. she moved a bit and her hand brushed Sunny's leg. He stiffened up a bit but relaxed again, his brother smirked. "Careful Enigma he still wants to frag you," "Do not, Sunny growled, don't start again you idiot."

"Boy's, Enigma said, stop calling each other names, I do know what he wants, but be careful you are sitting next to a mech with the same dirty thoughts, Enigma looked at Dino who gave her a deadly look."

"Side looked at Dino, "you had your chance while we were fighting, enough space here to frag each other out of the universe."

"Sunny smirked, yeah and of what we saw it was quite lovely, pity we cannot get that satellite back or use it again."

They sat silent looking at the fire for a while, not knowing what to say. Enigma just eyed Dino who starred in his cube.

Enigma sat close to Sunny who could not move away, she felt his warm frame and heard his fans working overtime.

"Still having nanites in you my dear, Enigma smirked I thought we drained those out of you."

"Don't remind me of that, Sunny growled, it felt like rape. stealing my nanites was not nice."

"Hm and trying to rape me while I was carrying sparklings was okay then, Enigma shut back.

She touched his leg, where did you get those nanites Sunny, I did shut that program or are you a very special mech that can create them no matter what."

"I , I , I don't know, Sunny said stuttering,please do not tease me or I will forget my self again."

Side looked from one to the other, I once said something about a trio he smirked shall I take a walk and let the three of you get it over with, for my dear brother has been very grumpy again lately. He kept looking at that tape of the two of you." "I did not,Sunny pouted and growled low at his brother, sending him a very deadly look. it made Side smirk devilishly. But the warning from his brother was there not to press the matter.

Sunny made a move to get up, but Enigma pulled him back down. Don't she said, lets speak honestly to each other shall we."

"I want you to look inside yourself and the creator program if you can find it, I smell nanites within you and do not lie to me Sunshine or I will take a look my self.

"Sunny shook his head, there is another program that seems to make nanites I do not know if they are like the other ones but I do have them and they create themselves and resolve within a few days if not used.

Hm you look like Dino then, he too has that program, I do not know if that is common among creator mechs "

"What does that mean, Side asked worried, is that bad." "No it is not bad, only inconvenient for the mech himself it makes him grumpy a bit at the peak of the creation. Normally I would fight him and rip his spark out that is all, specially because of the looks he gives me, but like I said before, I am not mean I just got him back. Prima already told me, I had two choices, I either sent him back to the well or deal with him on my own way and she let that option very open and Enigma laughed at the idea."

"And what does that mean, Sunny replied, I must fight you for If I do not I might hurt you, if you win I will never fight you again and except your creator ship next to Dino's."

"That is so savage, Sunny replied. Hm sweetie did you not just promised your brother you would rip his wheels off. So lets talk savage shall we Enigma replied in a sarcastic way. Besides my dear I am so drunk right now I loose any fight, and she downed another cube, wanna try"

Sunny looked puzzled, her frame was so damn close, it made his nanites run at a peak. "Fine," he said, and stood up briskly but started to sway on his feet a dizzy feeling overpowered him for a moment. That high grade was definitely a heavy batch it made his head spin.

Help me up then, Enigma said while attempting to get up her self. Sunny gave her a hand to steady her.

They walked to the other end of the old and worn warehouse and gazed at one another. Sunny had no idea how to deal with this, he was getting a bit drunk and the femme was already heavily loaded with high grade she could barely stand, this was gonna be a very short and disgraceful fight. He was not only older than her but also fully trained, and above that she was the one he owned his life to.

Enigma got into the sparring position and waited for Sunstreaker to strike first, she knew she was gonna go down, if she did not go down on her faceplate first because of her drunk state.

Sunny did not wait he launched and hit Enigma straight in the faceplate. "ow a good one," Enigma replied, "did not see that one coming."

She grabbed his arm and hit him with the other at the helm and in the same time kicked her feet in his abdomen.

It made Sunstreaker stumble on his feet and he had to regain his position, but Enigma did not wait for that and launched herself at him making Sunstreaker fall with a loud crash in a few empty cardboard boxes dragging Enigma with him, she put her hands on his shoulders and tried to lift herself in a upward position but Sunny dragged her down again. rolling around and made himself lie on top of her, his faceplate came very close to hers she could smell his nanites and feel his heat glowing over her, his optics started to get a red lining, Enigma smirked. You do not waste any time in getting ready don't you. while her hands strolled over his frame. It made him mad of longing and yet this was not right, he wanted to roll away but the femme did not let him go.

You're boss and I am not carrying so lets get this over with, you want to do this for a long time now, if not, I will have to look over my shoulder from now on." "What about Dino, Sunny said, he is your bonded one, he will rip my spark out for sure if I ever try something."

"Enigma grabbed his arm plates and dragged him closer, while putting her legs around his waist. He could not resist, his creator panel opened without him telling it to do so, he wanted to cry for his brother and looked inside his bond, but found it closed of. Damn Side I need you he said pinging his brother in despair. But Side did not answer the silence made him mad, while he looked at Enigma who moved her abdomen closer to his panel. Offering herself to his creator needs, He let his creator cable move out, the whole cable was surrounded with the same hard iron lining as Dino's. He slowly moved inside her, it made him gasp for air, his fans kicked on again.

He looked inside for answers but did not find any. He looked at Enigma again, seeing her optics turning red, it made him wonder if she secretly was a Con and he got fragged but Enigma smiled softly at him. "Just do what you think is right and it will be okay.

"Side, he murmured he does not answer." "Nope and he will not save you from your self or me, I think he is a bit busy himself Enigma smirked.

Sunny's optics grew wide. "No," he said, "Oh yes and when you are done we go to the others and enjoy ourselves a bit more Enigma chuckled deviously this time. Now move or I will take the lead and I will frag you straight to Jupiter and further. Just listen to your damn program and be a creator will you, you wanted this, I comply so don't let me wait here please or I will get aggressive and you do not want me to be."

Sunny off lined his optics for a second "You planned this didn't you,"

"You bet Enigma said I saw the look in you and knew that no matter how many times I would shut that damn program down you would come and try to grab me once those nanites of yours would run at its peak, I did not know for sure if you had the same extra program in you, but now I know. You are like Dino so do me a favor and make me smile."

This time he did what she asked, he moved like he was chased by Unicron himself, crying out each time he overloaded.

Finally he rolled of her looking up at the ceiling he saw her faceplate appear above him. I am not done with you yet my dear. Enigma sat down on him letting his spike get inside her again this time it was Enigma who took the lead, teasing him slowly into submission, it drove him mad he held his hands on her frame making her move but it was Enigma who decided how fast and she had time plenty of time.

He saw the light dim in the warehouse it was getting dark, "Should we not go back he tried I mean they must get worried sick if we do not return."

"Are you being chicken, Enigma smirked getting tired of me yet."

"Don't tell me he cannot keep up with you," A chuckling voice came from behind.

"No I think he is getting worried that Ratchet will tear his head off, if he finds out what he has done to poor little me."

"Warm hands run over her back, "Well than we must make him forget he has been here. his brother had no problem with it."

Sunny looked angry still being under the femme he could not move, "Of course Side does not care he never had a conscience to begin with,"

"Where is that brother of mine, he said feeling an overload coming up again, he started to moan, she did know how to drive him insane and stop all his senses, he gasped for air and let a cry get out of his mouth off lining him again.

Enigma waited for the mech to come around before she chuckled hearing her mate say what she already knew.

"Your brother is fine Sunny he has been traveling along the stars, never knew what it was like to get fragged by a creator and he is running to primus himself to thank him for the opportunity he was given. He will have a little problem with walking though, Dino smirked. Now move I wanna spent some time with this lusted one."

Sunny looked puzzled, "Side is not a femme like Enigma,or did I miss something." Dino smiled," no he is not but you two are twins and each others opposite, he found out he had a valve like Enigma or lets say he remembered and man he is happy now."

"Still have energy for me than," Enigma pouted. " Wanna find out my hungry one," Dino said dragging her towards him.

"I saved the best nanites for you, my special ones remember."

Sunny peeked at his brother who was sitting and drinking high grade. He decided to let the two have their way and walked back to his brother.

"Side looked alright, a bit baffled but alright, he tried to wipe the scratches away, Sunny smirked, did primus gave you his consent of what you did."

"Did you, Side shot back, "Probably not but damn that was good." Say you, Side replied, when you two started out there Dino had this look in his optics they turned red and before I knew it he was all over me. Man never knew getting fragged like that was that good.

"Do you think it was a punishment for watching them." Side looked at his brother and chuckled, "Well if that was punishment I like to be punished again."

"How did he know you had a valve like Enigma, nobody knew that but us. The cries they heard made them stop talking and look at each other for a second, If you are a creator and knew it, so did that darn mech, Side replied, I had put it away deep in my processor and yet as soon as he was on top of me, I could not resist, best frag ever. I do envy her for getting him now."

Twenty minutes later the two joined the drinking brothers. Enigma took another cube and sat down.

Looking at Sideswipe she smirked, "I have some good wax that will conceal the scratches, but I suggest you wait till morning or before when we return.

Side chuckled, "I totally forgot I had that valve, on Cybertron we did not interface like that, nobody did. I had put it far away in my processor thinking it was an abnormality and I cursed the one who created this frame, thinking he jinxed me with it, I did not know what to do with it so I put it away in my memory bank, not thinking about it anymore. I am not a femme right." He looked shocked at the thought of that.

"No you are not, but we figured that if Sunny had a talent, you had to have one as well. And since Dino confessed that on Cybertron he had certain thoughts of you, and him being a creator, I decided to bring you two here and find out."

"You two are bonded how can you do this," Side said looking puzzled at his brother. "It is only betrayal if one does not know it or agrees to it, Cybertronian law remember, I did not betray Dino nor did he betray me."

"Both of you were quite aggressive at one another, at first I thought is was the long time you had not seen each other but now I think both of you got it from watching us, it woke something in the both of you and now you have to deal with it. You may have put the memory of the valve way back deep in your memory bank, but watching us also made you know what to do with it. And your brother was not an option for you or has he been Enigma smirked a bit."

Dino stood up "I am getting more wood for the fire, I don't want it to die down too much as of yet."

We have a long night ahead of us and it will get colder soon. He said while he strolled of, Enigma poked in the fire. They did not say much only hummed while waiting for Dino to come back with the firewood.

They did not needed to talk anymore, only explored some possibilities.

By morning they all recharged blissfully they had talked about what happened making sure no one would know what happened in that warehouse. understanding that sometimes they would get themselves into strange situations and silently looking forward to go to Terra Nova. Where there would be less prying eyes and optics. They might never be lovers but Sunny and Dino both had the nanite program that needed to be contained. The four of them would have a nice talk to Alpha Trion the creator of their frames and he would have to come up with some answers.

Enigma was in the middle while two mechs lay beside her keeping her warm, she heard their fans working over time even in recharge both mechs held a hand on one of her legs while Side lay halfway sprawled over Dino's frame his legs spread. Enigma smirked softly I know how you feel mate she murmured, but you get used to it, creators can be very aggressive while mating, you wanted to know what it was like and now you do."

'I don't mind Side replied out of the blue, but I have a problem with my processor, it must have glitches."

"Are you alright, Enigma said, trying to wiggle out of the position she was in, only to find the hands tightened their grip on her legs."

Will you two frag of a bit she scowled, "Why," Dino asked. "You glitched Side,I need to help him."

"He is fine he is just still a bit drunk that is all," Dino replied.

Enigma looked at Dino who had one servo on Sides aft stroking it gently," he is fine girl, just a bit stiff, later on or when he tries to get up."

"Do remember your first time with me Dino said and chuckled you wanted to know and found out. Well lucky for you we practiced a lot while flying back to Nevada. How you managed to walk without anyone noticing is beyond me."

"Self control my dear, a lot of self control,"
