Unaware that Megatron had stayed behind for a bit and for more information, Starshooter headed right for the young Orion. Starshooter could see the young mech was online but very weak. Starshooter carefully approached, also unaware that Primus had held Megatron up for a reason. Primus was going to use Starshooter to help heal Orion.
As Starshooter got closer to the young Orion, Starshooter felt something strange. He wasn't sure exactly what it was but he felt like this unseen force was encouraging Starshooter to open his chest plates and release his spark. Starshooter was terrified at the prospect, but the closer he got to Orion, the stronger the urge felt.
Finally, once Starshooter reached Orion's side, Starshooter could no longer fight the urge and releases his small spark. It was smaller than a regular bot's spark due to Starshooter being the product of an experiment but Starshooter didn't know that. As Starshooter's precious spark hung in the air, Orion's chest plates began to move and open. The were slow as Orion was still very, very weak.
"Please, my friend" Starshooter encouraged, hoping that he wouldn't be left vulnerable. And soon, much to Starshooter's surprise, Orion's spark emerged. Orion's spark was also smaller than usual as his triplet sparking had literally been one spark divided into three, each being a third of the original. And as Starshooter watched, Orion's spark raced for the other exposed spark. And before Starshooter knew it, both sparks were bonding and merging. Starshooter could now feel Orion and vice versa.
The sparks quickly returned to their appropriate chambers. And as Megatron finally came in to visit, Starshooter was pulsing love to his mate. Starshooter backed off a bit to allow Megatron a chance to see Orion. Little did Starshooter realize that Megatron could sense what may have happened.
"How is he doing?" Megatron asked, carefully approaching Starshooter. Megatron was also curious to see if Starshooter would say anything about what may or may not have happened while Megatron was busy getting more information regarding his son.
"I..I think he's doing better" Starshooter answered, trying not to give himself away. He didn't want to tell anyone yet and he also had no idea that he himself was sparked as a result of this.
Megatron smiled. He wasn't going to give away that he sensed more. Starshooter was just glad for now that he thought no one yet knew. Megatron and Starshooter stayed for a short time longer before leaving, each secretly hoping that the bond would end up saving Orion.
