Yes oh yes here is the next chapter of this story. It took a while but here we are! So enough talk and let's, BEGIN!
The group got out of the destroyed shion village and it was awkwardly quiet. Which makes sense considering that they walked past a place that got massacred by the grimm. They also didn't know on how to start a conversation after that. That was until Crosshairs finally said something.
"So how much more until we finish putting these energon detectors?"
"Well there are still a couple of opened fields and left." Ren then brought out the map.
"Well we have some small villages and also Ku-"
Ren stopped completely and that got Nora's attention.
"Ren?"
The three autobots were confused by Rens sudden pause. Nora walked over and saw that Rens face was a scared expression. She looked at the map and saw one specific name on there And that is what made Nora realize why Ren suddenly stopped.
"oh"
Ren then rolled up the Map nicely and stored it in his pocket.
"Let's just keep moving onward." Ren said as he walked away.
The other four just watched him walk away.
"What his deal?" Dino said
"Um..."
Nora didn't know what to say.
"Was it something that involves one of the villages?" Drift said.
Nora turned around and looked at Drift and nodded.
"I see"
"Let's just not talk about it." Nora said as she finally walked following Ren. Crosshairs and Dino began to walk as well while Drift just looked on specifically at Ren curious on what happened, he began to follow them as well.
*Later at Night*
It was now night time as the group decided to rest for the day after putting up some detectors in another forest. Dino, Crosshairs and Drift were in their vehicle models and Nora was in her sleeping bed. Meanwhile Ren was sitting in a tree log just looking at the campfire, he then got up and walked away taking a little walk. During that one autobot car was gone.
Ren kept walking until he stopped on an open area and looked up at the moon. Soon after he heard a car behind and then he heard metal clashing.
"Hello Ren."
Ren turned around and saw that it was Drift.
"What is it Drift?" Ren said confused.
"Earlier once we left that destroyed village, you looked at the map and did a pause. I was wondering what's wrong."
...
"Its nothing." Ren responded.
"That's not what your body language and facial expressions say."
Ren didn't say anything. But drift has an idea that might get him to talk since he is interested on what happened and what Nora confirmed.
"I'll tell you a story about myself, o how I became an autobot."
Now Ren was confused and curious.
"Became?"
Drift sat Down and Ren did the same thing.
"Yes, Because I was never an Always an Autobot. I was once part of the Decepticons."
Ren eyes widened as he looked at Drift in shocked
"What?...You were a Decepticon before?"
"I was"
"Then what happened? What lead you to join the Autobots?"
"Back then I was with the Decepticons and what I thought back then was doing something for the good. But over the times I've seen the Decepticons do some tyranny on cybertron and its civilians, they had no honor. That was when i realized that i was on the wrong side, I was doing criminal things the entire time and that is not what I wanted."
Ren kept on listening to the story intrigued.
"So once everyone was doing their own things I sneaked off without getting caught. So I went to the Autobots and of course once I did confront them their weapons were drawn since they knew I was a Decepticon."
"How did they accepted you to join them?" Ren said curious.
"Optimus"
That honestly made perfect sense to Ren.
"It was thanks to Optimus that they gave me a chance to prove that I was actually on their side."
"So it was to regain your honor and atone for your crimes that you did when you were a Decepticon?" Ren said.
"Indeed and that was the best decision over made in my life. Of course they kept an eye on me thinking if I was a spy, it through the times and many battles they fully accepted me as one of their own"
After hearing that story Ren decided that he can tell him on why he acted the way he did earlier.
"Okay I'll tell you on why I acted the way I did earlier." Ren said as Drift nodded.
"Okay the way that I acted was because of the name of my home."
Drift looked at Ren having an understanding on what might have happened.
"The name of my former town was Kuroyuri. It was a nice and peaceful village, but...It no longer exists."
"Grimm?"
"It was but it was different it was like a hybrid of a horse and a person with slender arms and claws. It was called the Nuckelavee. It destroyed the village and the civilians along with my Parents. The only survivors were just Me and Nora."
"Nora? You've known her since childhood?"
"Nora was homeless she didn't had a family when I met her. Soon enough that thing came and I managed to get Nora out the village and since then we've been friends ever since and now were engaged."
"I see."
"But whenever I see the name Kuroyuri I think of that day where that thing came and destroyed everything and took the people that took care of me away from me."
"I can understand where your coming from Ren. But if we ever do confront that thing then we will be ready for it."
Ren nodded.
"And be thankful for the things you have now but always remember the things that you had." Drift said as he stood up.
"Meet you back at the site when your ready." Drift said as He transformed into his vehicle mode and softly drove away.
Ren sat there for a couple of seconds thinking on what drift said and know that he was right. So he stood up and went back to the camp site. Once he returned he saw the three autobots together in car mode and his soon to be wife sleeping in her sleeping bag. He smiled as he got his sleeping bag and went in. He took one final look at Nora and smiled.
"Goodnight Nora."
In another part of the area was two Decepticons. A big one which looked like it formed into a helicopter and the other one, it reached the helicopter ones chest and it looked like it formed a Military vehicle.
"When will the assault begin?"
"Tomorrow we will begin the sneak attack on them and destroy those detectors."
The Decepticons went into the woods hiding waiting for the attack.
