"U-Ultra Magnus. Y-You're alive."

"You darn right I am. Let go of my son." Ultra Magnus said as Rick tried to run over to his sire. His result, he was only pushed back by Starscream. "He's not going anywhere until I get those parts." he said referring to the artifacts. Ultra Magnus looked at him as if he was crazy. "...what?"

"The artifacts."

"What? What're you talking about? The artifacts?" Ultra said as he shrugged his shoulder blades. Starscream started to get furious. "Gimme the artifacts, or you'll lose your son too." Starscream said as he put his claw hand to scratch Rick's faceplate. Rick held his cry of pain as he kicked Starscream's leg barely missing the 'important' parts. This caused Starscream to drop him as Rick ran over to his father. "Dad, what did he mean by-"

"Not now."

"But dad-"

"NOT NOW!" Magnus said with a stern voice as Rick gulped and nodded. Magnus transformed into his vehicle mode and opened his car door. "Inside. Now." he said as Rick wasted no time in going inside. Magnus sped off from the base as both autobots heard Starscream's angry voice.

Rick sighed in relief. "Are you alright?" Magnus asked as Rick nodded. "I'm fine dad."

"Good….now, WHAT IN CYBERTRON WERE YOU THINKING BACK THERE!?" Magnus shouted in anger. Rick didn't flinch. He didn't even move. "What happened to mom?"

"What?"

"What happened to mom? You said she went offline after a recent malfunction in her system. The decepticons told me a different story." Rick said more determined to know the actual truth of his mother's death. For a while. Magnus was silent. Until he sighed and stopped the car the moment they were safe from harm. "Out." he said as Rick got out without saying a word.

Once Rick was on the ground, Magnus transformed back into his bicep mode. Magnus looked at his son. His secret was kept for far too long. It was time for Rick to know the truth about his mother's death. "I...was on patrol."

Flashback

Magnus was patroling the city looking for his lost wife. "Beta, Beta, Beta, c'mon where are you?" Magnus said not knowing where his wife was. Beta was reported missing due to the fact that some decepticons captured her. Magnus was looking for her. It's been a week and not once have they found anything.

Just as he was about to give up for the night, a voice came out of the blue. "U-Ultra Magnus?" Magnus quickly wipped his head around to an alley. He ran towards it and found Beta. She was on the floor bleeding energon. He was holding her stomach in pain as energon was flowing down her entire body. "BETA!" Magnus said as he ran towards her. He felt her stomach and relief to see that there was a kick. Their son was still okay. "Beta, what happened? Who did this to you?"

"M-Magnus, th-the sparkling. I-Is he-"

"He's okay. He's still here." Magnus said as Beta smiled a little, but it quickly faded with another contraction. "My contractions. The sparkling is coming. I-I can't hold on-"

"Beta, no! Don't you dare say that."

"You must. Please. I'm too weak to push." Beta said as Magnus nodded knowing that she was right. Magnus got out a first aid kit and took out a knife. In order for him to save his son, he had to cut open her stomach. "There's no num medicine." he said knowing that she was gonna scream. "Do it honey...please." Beta pleaded as Magnus looked back at her pregnant belly and pressed the knife onto her stomach. "It's gonna hurt." he said as he started to slowly cut her stomach open. Beta screamed in pain, but didn't stop Magnus from getting to his son. Once he was finished cutting, he put the knife down and stuck his hand into her stomach. He felt a tiny little head as he put both hands in there and pulled out his son.

The moment the little sparkling opened his eyes, he cried. Magnus smiled. "Beta look." he said as Beta looked towards him. She smiled too. "Oh my god." she said as she held her son. "Hi little one." she said as the sparkling looked at his mother. Beta looked back at Magnus and started to cry too. "Ultra Magnus...there's something I have to tell you."

"What is it?" Magnus asked as Beta looked at the sparkling and back at Magnus. "Megatron...he's my brother." Magnus widen his optics in shock. "I'm connected to him and as long as I am, he'll know about our son. I need you...to kill me."

"No!"

"Magnus-"

"You know I can't do that. You're everything to me." Magnus said as he started to cry too. "You have to. If not for yourself, then for cybertron. For our son. For me." Beta said as Magnus started to cry more. He held his head up to the sky to dry his oil tears. "...what's his name? Our baby." Magnus said as Beta smiled. "Rick. His name is Rick." she said as Magnus smiled too. "That's a beautiful name." he said as Beta held him out for Magnus. "Please Magnus...please." Beta said as Magnus looked at his son Rick and placed him gently on the ground. He pulled out his laser gun and pointed it at Beta. "I love you." he said as Beta smiled. "I love you too." Beta said her final words as Magnus shot her right in her heart.

End of Flashback

Magnus started to cry a little as he told his son about his mother. "After a while, the autobots found us and Optimus...is the only one who knows what happened that night." he said as Rick saw his father crouch down on the ground and cried. "Dad...why didn't you tell me?" Rick asked as he went towards his dad and hugged him. "I'm sorry...I wish I never asked."

"No...you needed to know...I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Magnus said as Rick started to cry too. Rick was still a little disappointed, but he knew that his father did the right thing. All he wanted now...was this.
