Chapter Five: More Questions Than Answers!
Fire!
F-Fire is everywhere!
In their olfactory sensors!
Their optics!
I-In their mouth!
Their audio sensors were ringing off the hook!
T-They needed to find them!
T-They had to find their family!
The fires rose even higher!
Fire!
Fire!
FIRE!
SIRE!
Optics opened to reveal very blurred vision, there were nothing but shapes and blurs.
Different colors and shades, the owner of this blurred vision couldn't make sense of what they were seeing, or lack of vision.
They heard something, it sounded far away and it echoed and it was hard for the being to make sense of it.
"...Can you...anything...help...?"
That voice, it sounded familiar to the being...but why?
It couldn't figure out why...why was the being here?
What was the being?
It felt...something...?
What was it called?
It couldn't find the word for it.
Wait...wasn't the word...drum?
No...that wasn't it.
Thumb?
What did that even mean?
Dumb?
No, but it felt closer.
...Numb.
That was it, it felt numb and...something else.
Light.
It felt light...
An image popped into the being's discombobulated mind.
Something..white, and...fluffy.
Cloud!
It felt like that...like a cloud.
The being purred at that, it felt like a cloud.
The being heard something else, that mysterious voice was back.
"...Awake...Can you...me...?"
What?
Was it awake, it couldn't tell. It felt...oh right! Light!
It still couldn't see anything clearly...
It saw a...almost white...no that was another color. What was it?
...Oh right...Silver.
A silver blur was coming up to it.
Or was it?
The being felt something, like a sense?
It felt far away.
But it was on something, it felt like it belonged to the being.
It was right above it's blurred vision.
What was that?
The being heard something else.
Echoing.
"...Hello...hear...not respon...something's wr..."
The silver blur was doing something to the being's...what was that called again?
Palm?
No that wasn't it.
Uh...Kilt?
Where did it get that word from?
The being heard something else.
"...Not responding...Energon...too much...Trauma...proces...help...now..."
The being didn't understand those big words.
It was going to rest now.
Or at least it would have if it hadn't heard more sounds.
"...No!...Awake...Stay...contact...right now!...Needs...attention..."
The being felt the urge to roll it's...uh...pies? No.
Fries? No.
Eyes? No.
It didn't have eyes...right?
It had something else...what was it?
The being felt like it was being pulled away from the blurs and sounds, but...it wanted to stay awake now.
It was curious.
The pulling was light, but the being couldn't fight back.
It didn't have the strength to.
It was fine with that.
The being was pulled away from the sounds and shapes, and soon everything went dark.
The being knew nothing else.
The Nemesis' Medical Bay:
Optimus Prime's optics were hard as he heard the medical report from Ratchet, again. He had heard Ratchet say the report twice now, and he had read the report himself. But he still couldn't believe it.
"I couldn't believe it myself Optimus, and I have read the report probably as many times as you have. But...all of the evidence points that what assaulted Predaking was in fact TechnaFury in structure. And we both know there is only one living TechnaFury in this day and age. I'm sorry Optimus.", a remorseful yet slightly angry looking Ratchet explained.
Optimus looked around, he as well as Ultra Magnus, Smokescreen, Grimwing, Skylynx, Darksteel, Ripclaw, Bulkhead, and Arcee were in the Medical Bay with himself and Ratchet, hearing this report. Everyone had different looks of disbelief, horror, and betrayal in their body language and on their faceplates.
Smokescreen was the first to speak and his tone was one of pure conviction, "I don't believe it."
Every bot or femme looked at the young Autobot as he continued, "Talus wouldn't just attack someone for no reason. We all know this. There has to be some other explanation! Talus doesn't attack unless someon deserves it!"
Optimus shut his optics as he centered his spiralling emotions, right now wasn't the time for emotional outbursts. He had to process this as logically and as fairly as he could and lead by example as the Matrix of Leadership granted him.
Optimus opened his optics as Ultra Magnus said to Smokescreen, "Right now we have no other information soldier, so we go on the evidence we have until Talus can testify for herself."
"Speaking of which, where is Talus?", Arcee asked as she put her servos on her hips. She, like everybody else, was wondering where said missing Technafury was.
Smokescreen faltered a bit before he said softly, "I-I don't know, the last I had heard from her was a few Megacycles (Hours) ago. But she hasn't picked up her Comm. since then, I'm worried about her guys. This is so unlike her, usually she contacts someone, anyone to let them know that she's okay."
'You mean she contacts you.', literally every other bot or femme thought unamiously about Smokescreen. Everyone knew Talus and Smokescreen were close, and there were also hints, maybe of something more. But that was speculation, and right now they focused on the meeting currently taking place.
Bulkhead's optics widened before he asked, "Wait, can't we track her or something? There has to be something we can use to find her? Like what about her tailfin?", Grimwing answered Bulkhead's question, "Well my fellow Predacons and I can track Talus with our homing instincts, but in order to do so we shall need a sample of her Energon. The most recent, the better."
Ratchet shook his helm negatively and he said, "No, Talus asked Shockwave and myself to not put any tracking devices in her prosthetics. Why? I do not know. And yes Grimwing we know of this ability all Predacons share. Unfortunately the newest sample of Energon I have for Talus specifically is over 4 Orbital Cycles (Months) old. I do not think that would suffice for you to track her with."
Ripclaw raised a clawed servo slightly and said, "I might be able to track her with that, she has been teaching me personally how to track better than my normal homing instincts would limit me.", Optimus turned to Ripclaw and said, "If you believe you can track her Ripclaw, then you may. But if Talus has indeed gone rogue...", Smokescreen was about to say something before Optimus continued, "Then I implore you seek out other Predabots, or other Predacons for at least some protection from her strength and abilities should the need arise."
Ripclaw looked unsure about getting a direct order from Optimus Prime himself, but then she looked at her unconscious leader on the Med Bay berth. It's not like her King was giving out orders. She snapped her helm to look at Grimwing, he was currently the highest ranking Predacon/Predabot in the Med Bay, with an unspoken question in her optics.
Grimwing pondered over this, he knew that Talus could give them all answers they were all asking, so with a serious look on his faceplate, he nodded his helm with an affirmative nod and Ripclaw looked at Optimus Prime and she said, "Then I shall do my best sir, you have my word."
Optimus gave a small nod of his helm, before Smokescreen butted in with, "I'm coming with you."
Ripclaw was about to say 'No thanks', when Smokescreen interrupted her and exclaimed with a protective fury in his tone, "I'm going! Talus is my partner, and my responsibility. Not to mention she's my best friend, if she's truly busted a gasket in her processor or whatever's going on with her, I need to be there to find out why. And I need to see if I can help in any way, shape, or form. I'm going!"
Ripclaw looked at Optimus again, unsure on what to say, Optimus looked down to Smokescreen and the Autobot leader could see the protective fire in Smokescreen's optics, the fires of determination. Smokescreen looked at Optimus, fully prepared to defy his leader, his hero. All for Talus.
Optimus would probably tell Smokescreen this later in private, but he was proud of Smokescreen for standing up for his beliefs. Optimus opened his mouth plates to say something before Arcee interrupted him as she piped up, "Just let him go Optimus, I think he needs this more than we do."
Optimus raised a brow ridge at that, before he said softly, "Very well Smokescreen. You may go, but please keep caution. If Talus could do this to Predaking, it is a wonder what else she could do. Even to you."
Smokescreen looked at the unconscious Predaking and he nodded firmly before he said, "Yes sir.", with that Optimus gave Smokescreen a short nod of approval with his helm.
Ultra Magnus walked up to Grimwing and asked, "Are you going to lead this mission?", Grimwing replied with a small nod of his spiked helm, "Yes I shall, Talus is my friend as well. I wish to help her if something is amiss within her.", Ultra Magnus grunted with approval and he said, "Then I shall inform the Predabots to keep vigil for Talus until your return. Just in case Grimwing."
Grimwing nodded his helm again at Ultra Magnus before he turned to the other three Predacons in the Med Bay and he ordered both Skylynx and Darksteel, "You both shall stand vigil over our king as well as explain all that has transpired here, should he awaken? Do you understand?"
Skylynx seemed to be a bit peeved at that, while Darksteel growled out in annoyance before he exclaimed, "Hey, who made you boss Grimmie?!", Grimwing merely raised a brow ridge at that and asked, "Do you wish to fight me right now? Truly?"
Darksteel growled and he was about to reply with a pounce, until Ripclaw came between the two Ursagryph Predacon mechs and said, "Not this now! We have a mission!", she turned to Darksteel before exclaiming, "Grimwing has earned his place among us, especially considering he is captain of the Predabots Initiative. Not to mention he has sparred with Talus herself multiple times and came out mostly unscathed, unlike you. We all have our places on this mission Darksteel, and this is yours. You get the most important task, you must protect our king, especially should Talus...", she saw Smokescreen wince slightly out of the corner of her optic before she continued, "..Come back to finish the job. You must protect our king, you shall be one of the last lines of defense for our king. This is your mission, accept it. Alright?!"
That seemed to click something in Darksteel's processor, before the blue and silver Ursagryph Predacon backed off and he said with a bit of a sulk, "Fine.", Ripclaw smiled at him and Skylynx and said, "Thank you, thank you both for this."
Skylynx looked at the green and dark grey Ursagryph and he asked, "Shall we do this alone?"
Grimwing was about to reply when he was interuppted with, "Absolutely not, you'll have my help boys.", Arcee replied with a serious look on her faceplate, Bulkhead came up behind her and said, "Mine to. The more the merrier.", Ultra Magnus walked up and he said, "I shall make sure to have reinforcements come and make regular rounds for guarding Predaking here."
Grimwing quickly explained to Ultra Magnus, "If you can do so, please none from the Predabot initiative please, for we are stretched thin as it is. Perhaps we can get some of our fellow Predacons near Iacon, for they are loyal to his Majesty, and they are good fighters as well. Should we ask for their aid, they shall come.", Ultra Magnus nodded before he walked out of the Med Bay to do the tasks assigned to him.
Ratchet soon said annoyed, " Well if you all are done having your meeting here, then you may leave so that I may concentrate on helping the patients in here. And I cannot do that when you are all standing in here and getting in my way! Now out!"
Optimus nodded and he said softly, "Very well old friend.", he turned to the other bots and femmes, before he ordered, "Let us go now and do our tasks for this mission. Autobots, Predabots, Predacons, roll out!", and with that all too familiar catch phrase the meeting was adjourned and the respective bots/femmes went to go do their existing duties or new ones they were given.
As Smokescreen walked out of the Med bay and down a hall, he soon stopped and looked out of a window before he asked under his outtake, "Talus, what's going on? Where are you? What's going on with you?"
His entire frame jumped in surprise when a familiar voice said, "We shall find that out Smokescreen.", he turned to find Grimwing was beside him. The larger bot looking down at him with a soft worry in his yellow optics.
Smokescreen sighed a bit before he admitted, "I'm just worried, if she really did do this? Why would she do it? Has she lost her processor? Is she sick? I just want answers."
Grimwing put a clawed servo on Smokescreen's shoulder joint, before he said, "I too worry for her well being Smokescreen, for she is my friend as well as yours. But we must also be ever vigilant, for she is a Technafury at the end of the cycle. And she is potentially very dangerous to us right now if she is not in her right state of mind. What she did to my king is but an example of what she can do to any one of us at any time."
Smokescreen glared at him and exclaimed, "Don't you think I know that! I could see Predaking on that slab just like the rest of you!"
Grimwing kept a soft, worried yet calm look on his faceplate and Smokescreen's structure deflated and he said, "Sorry, I-I just don't understand why she would do this. If she did it anyway. I-I just...", he shook his helm in disbelief and confusion. He was fustrated and anyone with optics could see it.
Grimwing squeezed Smokescreen's shoulder plate reassuringly, before he said, "We shall help her Smokescreen. Have faith.", Smokescreen nodded his helm softly before he said, "L-Let's go find her Grim, the sooner, the better. Right?"
With a small smile to his faceplate, Grimwing smiled with a soft nod and he led the way. First reinforcements, then Talus' Energon, and finally provisions for their journey. Once they had all of they needed, Grimwing, Ripclaw, Smokescreen, Strongarm, Divebomb, and Skystalker were all ready to go.
Once the Predacons transformed into their beast forms, and the two Autobots went on Grimwing's and Divebomb's backs and were secured with special saddles, the Predacons then took off, with Ripclaw leading the team as she tracked Talus' energon as best as she could.
She just hoped Talus' teachings would make the student find the teacher.

Fire!
Fire!
FIRE!
SIRE!
PAIN!
Optics snapped open! PAIN! IT HURTS!
It didn't know how it was hurting! It didn't like this!
Deep under the pain, it heard things.
"...Pain!...hurting...Energ..."
It was hard to think! It was hard to feel anything else but the pain!
Pain consumed it!
Please!
It wanted the pain to stop!
Please!
Please!
It heard more sounds!
"...Crazy!...Sedat...help...Recha...!"
It felt a small piercing pain somewhere, it couldn't focus!
Pain!
It hurt!
Please make it stop!
Pain bad!
...T-The cloulds were coming back!
Pain!
Was going away!
It was better!
Less pain!

No pain!
Good! Very good!
It was getting numb again!
Good it liked that!
It heard more!
"...Needs...more...We...help!...Wel...No!...No...deep...welds!...Awake!"
It felt good now.
It wanted to stay!
It felt the pull again, gentle, but firm!
Fine!
It would sleep for now.
The being knew nothing else.
The Skies Above the Sea of Rust: 8 Megacycles Later
A roar was heard as four large beastial forms flew through the air with actual impressive agility and grace. Also considering that there were two smaller Cybertronians on their back struts attached with special saddles, these creatures were doing a fantastic job. Even if it was night time.
Ripclaw was in front, as she was using her senses, homing instincts, and the knowledge that Talus had taught her, to track down said TechnaFury as best as she could. She gave a small growl in a mix of both pleasure and excitement, with a hint of worry thrown in there. As a Predacon, Ripclaw naturally enjoyed and even flourished when doing a hunt.
But at the same time, she was worried about Talus, Talus was a friend and mentor to her, even if their first meeting was less than pleasant. Ripclaw winced unconsciously, the femme Predacon had not been able to sit properly for five solar cycles (Days) straight after their fight. It was a glorious fight, even if it was an aft kicking though.
Ripclaw shook her helm with a small frustrated grunt, enough thoughts! She needed to focus!
Ripclaw heard a large growling grunt behind her and she turned her helm to look at her companion Skystalker, the other beast gave another growling grunt, Anything yet sister?
Ripclaw snarled out in frustration, If she truly had any updates, did he not think she would be sharing with the rest of the pack?!
Skystalker winced a bit at that reply before he growled out softly, Apologies sister. He merely worries for both Leader Talus and their king. He wishes to have answers.
Grimwing sped up with a couple of powerful wing flaps and he gave a soft roar to both other Predacons, They all wanted answers. You two are not the only ones. Sister, you must focus and lead us to those answers.
Ripclaw nodded her helm sharply and she concentrated on her task once again. With a sharp focus brought onto her Processor, she expanded her senses as far as she could get them. She hoped that they could take a break soon though, at this rate her senses could overwhelm her processor and that would be one Primus ridden processor ache.
Smokescreen was silent on Divebomb's back, the younger Predacon wondered how the smaller Cybertronian was doing. Probably not too well, considering it was his partner that attacked their King...Okay well there is evidence that Talus had done the deed, but still. For some reason, Divebomb didn't believe that she had done it. At least, he had a feeling in his struts.
Smokescreen was completely focused on the skies ahead, barely blinking his optics to get more protective lubricant on them. He wanted to find Talus now...No, he needed to find Talus now, and he needed those answers now!
Strongarm looked at Smokescreen from her peripheral view in her optics, being on Grimwing's backstruts with her saddle she had a slightly good look at the other Autobot, he looked like he could use a good talking to in her opinion. Grimwing suddenly looked at his 'younger' partner on his backstruts with a look that said 'I wouldn't if I were you.'
Strongarm rolled her optics at thelook her Predacon partner gave her, before she turned to Smokescreen and she hollered over the wind, "Sir, we'll find her! If anyone has the answers, it's Madam Talus!"
Smokescreen's optics snapped over to Strongarm, and he opened his mouth plates to reply with a sharp reply, similarly to how he used to with Decepticons. But two things told him he probably shouldn't, one was the look Grimwing gave him, it promised punishment should he insult Grim's partner. Two was a single thought that popped up in his processor, and that was would Talus approve if he talked like that to a fellow Predabot Rider...He already knew the answer to that thought easily.
No.
No she wouldn't.
He sighed softly, calming himself, before he replied back, "I know that, I'm just worried about her that's all!"
Strongarm nodded and she exclaimed firmly, "I understand that, with how Cybertron is right now, even though it's way better than before, there's too few of us to lose! Autobot, Decepticon, Predacon, or TechnaFury! We have to rebuild now! Bring peace! Make better relations! To protect and serve all factions! So don't lose hope First Rider! We'll find Madam Talus, and you'll see! She'll be fine! And you'll get your answers!"
Once she was done, a bit of a blush appeared on her faceplates when she realized all the members of the search party were staring at her with wide optics, surprised by not only the conviction in her voice, but by her way with words. Even though they were pretty normal for a inspiring speech, her belief in her words surprised everyone present, it was nice.
Grimwing gave a proud growling purr, Indeed they shall! They shall find Talus!
The other Predacons also roared in agreement.
Smokescreen smiled and he said, "Thanks Strongarm, I guess I needed a quick pick me up. Thanks!", honestly, his processor was still deep in it's whirlwind, confusion and anger mostly present. But Strongarm's 'speech', helped anchor him just enough against those swirling thoughts. He could do this, just focus on Talus if he had to.
'Be calm Smokey, we'll find her.', Smokescreen thought to himself, steeling his processor and his frame.
Ripclaw smiled softly at the scene behind her, she also noted that they were nearing Predaking's Ex-Refuge. It's been a while since she had been here, she was kind of indifferent to see this place again.
It was partly a giant Grave site/Collection plant/Cemetary. She did like seeing this place as it filled her with both dread at seeing her ancestor's remains and how they met their end, but it also filled her with hope at the future of her species continuing on.
Ripclaw was suddenly ripped out of her thoughts as her senses picked up something, that felt odd to her. But her homing instincts were telling her to go to her left.
She turned her helm behind her to look at her superior and she gave a growling bark, She had gotten something, something to the left!
Every optic besides Ripclaw's widened at the news, finally!
Grimwing's optics narrowed and he gave a sharp snarl, Then they shall follow it! They go now!
Ripclaw's helm snapped back forward and with a growl she pulled her left wing in, making her bank left. She soon straightened out and she flapped her wings a few times. The rest of the search party followed right behind her.
Smokescreen gently tightened his grip on Divebomb's saddle as he thought to himself, 'Talus, we'll find you, and we'll help you.'
Deep in the Sea of Rust: At the Same time
Two faint whistles were soon growing louder and louder in pitch until, two large beastial forms landed on a large metallic cliff edge with large echoing slams of metal on metal.
The lead one was the red and black TechnaFury, Suleykzii. With a soft growl he shook the rust dust off of his large structure. He turned his helm to look at the other TechnaFury, his sire Mulviing, who looked conflicted within himself. Suleykzii looked at the TechnaFury that was his sire, and he was amazed, his sire had not aged a bit, besides a few new scratches on his sire's armor, he looked the exact same as he remembered his sire.
Suleykzii gave a soft rumbling growl, he was amazed his sire awoke finally. It truly amazed him considering it had been easily Millions of stellar cycles (Years) since he heard his sire's roars and growls.
Mulviing looked at his male sparkling who seemed to be trapped within his own mind and the larger TechnaFury walked up to his sparkling and nudged Suleykzii with his short metallic muzzle and he gave a soft and caring rumble, Are you alright my offspring?
Suleykzii looked at his sire with an indifferent look in his optics, before the younger Technafury Mech gave a soft rumble back, It's like you're back from the dead.
Mulviing's audio sensors lowered in sadness before he gave a small rumbling growl, He was sorry, truly sorry for how long it took him to awaken.
Suleykzii continued to stare at his sire, before he turned his helm down and shut his optics in the conflicting emotions in his spark, part of him was so relieved and grateful his sire had awoken. Truly! But at that same time, he was mad and hurt. It had been so long, so long since he had even seen his sire! Yet his sire was here, and he...he didn't know what to do.
Mulviing slowly walked up to his sparkling's face and he gently gave a soft rumble, Open your bond with me, hear my words. If not through your audio sensors, then do so with your spark.
Suleykzii's optics snapped open with his optic pupil a complete slits and at the same time his helm snapped back up to his sire with his audio sensors fully erect. He stared at his sire with a bit of a look of disbelief and with some apprehension, Suleykzii calmed himself before he concetrated in his spark and thus that opened up his side of the spark bond he shared with his sire.
Mulviing gave a soft smile and both of them shut their optics to feel the spark bond.
Both TechnaFury's optics snapped when they were pulled into Mulviing's memories. They started with...that night.
'There were flashes, lightning was coming down, fire burned everywhere. Other Predacons, his brethren he had swore to protect, were fighting each other to the death. It was horrible.
These memories were...fragmented. He had been in a pure survival mode, fight or flight.
He remembered the snippets.
H-He had to find them!
His f-family!
His s-sparkmate!
H-His sparklings!
His sweet s-sparks!
H-He had a-a mechling!
A-And a young femme!
Twins!
H-His beloved mate!
He h-had to find them!
Fire!
Smoke!
F-Fire is everywhere!
Smoke is everywhere!
In his olfactory sensors!
His optics!
I-In his mouth!
H-His audio sensors were ringing off the hook!
H-He needed to find them!
W-Was that radiation?
Wait, w-why were his brethren trying to attack him?!
H-He could hear the king, the leader of his brethren, calling out to him.
U-Underground?
N-No!
H-He had to find his family!
W-Why were his brethren attacking each other?!
The king is calling out to him!
Underground!
Underground they would be safe!
B-But his family?!
The king calls out again!
His family is smart!
They are smart enough to go underground!
B-But his family!
The king calls!
To his left?!
He looks, and he sees!
His mechling!'
Suleykzii gasps, but continues to concentrate and watch the memories his sire was sharing with him.
'He immediately runs over!
His mechling is wounded!
But it could be healed with time!
H-His mate is nowhere in sight!
Neither is his young femme!
He grabs his sparkling in his mouth!
He runs back to his brethren's king!
The king calls out!
Underground!
Underground is safe!
H-He agrees!
He needs to act now!
The fires rise even higher!
He needs his young femme!
But she is nowhere in sight!
T-Tears come to his optics!
He's sorry!
He's so sorry!
He's so sorry!
The king digs!
As does the king's closest friends!
H-He starts to dig!
He digs faster!
And harder!
And longer!
H-He keeps going!
And going!
And going!
Until he cannot dig anymore!
H-He is tired!
He makes his mechling fall into stasis with a few licks of his glossa to the mechling's helm!
And soon.
He wants to do the same.
But his family!
They needed to find him!
He could hear pained roars and explosions above him!
If they were alive.
They needed to know what had happened here!
The Primes!
They caused this!
Hatred!
The injustice!
By the Primes!
By the Chaos bringer!
An idea hits him!
Of course!
History!
Should anyone find it!
H-He carves into the walls around him.
Messages!
So that time never forgets!
So that the planet of Cybertron itself may never forget!
He carves messages!
Some of them say!
Unicron's Fault!
Some of them say!
Giant Fires!
Some of them say!
Unworthy Primes!
Some of them say!
True Alphas!
Some of them say!
Buried Deep!
Some of them say!
Had Family!
Some of them say!
Were Rare!
Some of them say!
Not Monsters!
Some of them say!
Had Sparklings!
But the final one!
The one that he needed to say!
He needed to let others hear!
He carved it with his remaining strength.
That one!
That message was important!
It said!
The Night's Fury was here and betrayed by the Primes!
H-He did it!
He could rest now...
B-But his Mechling!
But he was so tired...
H-He had to rest now...
Until he was needed...
Or until he became one with the Allspark yet again...
Whichever one He chooses first...
He was so sorry...
To his mate...
And his sparklings...
He had no more strength...
H-He then knew no more...'
Suleykzii gasped as he broke out of the trance and took deep intakes in...the memories...they were so...vivid!
They spoke volumes of his sire's actions!
Suleykzii rapidly transformed into his Robotic Alt. form and he looked at his sire with tears in his optics, he understood now...Mulviing had lost everything! Everything!
Suleykzii stared at his sire with a sparkbroken look in his optics and he whispered in the language he knew best, the Cybertronian dialect, "N-No wonder you were so sad...a-at that thing...Y-You thought it was h-her. M-My sister...m-my sparkt-twin. Y-You lost everything that day sire. I-I'm so sorry!", Suleykzii gently started to whimper as he cried softly, energon tears going down his faceplate. Even if he was grown mostly, the pain was too great to keep held within his processor.
Mulviing watched his sparkling apologize for something he did not do, Mulviing was about to speak that his sparkling had no fault in the past, therefore no apology was necessary. But when the younger TechnaFury mech started to cry softly, Mulviing walked over and wrapped his helm and neck structure over his sparkling's shoulder joint and hugged him as tightly as he dared.
Suleykzii cried for a few more cycles (Minutes), before he calmed down enough to ask his sire while he was wiping his tears away with a clawed servo, "H-How did you survive all this time? How did you wake up sire? You never awoke all this time? W-Why now?"
Mulviing backed away a bit once he stopped hugging Suleykzii and he looked at his sparkling with his own energon tears in his optics and he said in that Primus-cursed language, "The thought of you my kul (Son), the thought of your briinah (Sister), and your Brudmun (Carrier) kept my spark alive. The thought of you all is what kept me functioning even in my stasis. As for how I awoke, I do not know why. All I know is that from the moment I awoke, I searched Cybertron far and wide, looking for any of you. I continued to search, even if my instincts told myself otherwise. I searched until I could not search any longer...", tears started to go down Mulviing's beastial faceplates and he exclaimed, "I-I could not find any of you! I-I thought I was alone!"
The older TechnaFury cried silently for a short time before he composed himself enough to finish, and he explained, "I-I gave up...and I was going to end myself for I believed I had no true reasoning to function anymore...Then...Then I smelt an all too familiar scent, it was your s-sister's scent. I-I could not believe this at first, but then I kept getting more and more of her scent and her scent continued to get stronger with time. For then I knew I could not ignore it anymore, so I traveled to find her. That is when I found Praetorrex's scent."
Mulviing's brow ridges as he felt the all too familiar hatred for the Predacon king, before he continued with a slightly angry tone, "That Nikriin! (Coward!) He had survived the Great Fire like myself had! I know not how, but even now I do not care to know anymore! All I knew is that he had survived and our ragnavir (Family) did not! He deserved to be punished, him and the traitorous Primes! They need to pay!"
Suleykzii was surprised of the hatred and anger that spewed out of his sire's vocal processor...well to be honest, after having seen his sire's memories and emotions of when the 'Great Fire' happened, well it was no wonder really.
Mulviing saw the look on his sparkling's faceplate and he quickly composed his processor and he said softly, "Aplologies...I-I'm sorry I just..."
Suleykzii put a clawed servo onto his sire's shoulder joint and he said softly, "I understand sire, I truly do now."
Mulviing smiled gently at his sparkling before he remembered something and his audio sensors lowered themselves with his mood change, before he asked with a soft wince, "My kul, you mentioned you had buried your sister...and K-Konaar...", it was almost too much for his structure to physically say.
Suleykzii frowned softly, he suppose his sire did deserve that, he deserved to visit them so much it wasn't even a question to Suleykzii now. His sire was owed that much at the very least!
Suleykzii nodded his helm softly before he said gently, "Yes...I-I buried them...w-when I found carrier first...then T-Toorzii.", Mulviing opened his mouthplates to ask where, when the younger TechnaFury beat him too it.
"Follow me, they're over here sire.", Suleykzii gently explained. With a rapid transformation into his natural TechnaFury form, he opened his main wings, stabilizing fins, and tailfins before he gave a large flap and flew vertically from his lair. With another large flap, Mulviing was right behind his sparkling.
Soon both TechnaFuries landed on a large overhanging cliff that had beautiful views of the sunrise in the rising mornings, Suleykzii rapidly transformed into his Alt robot form and he looked at his sire before he said, "Over there sire.", with a point of a clawed servo.
Mulviing looked to where the younger TechnaFury pointed to and the air in his intakes froze as his optics widened in shock and disbelief, His optical pupils became slits as his audio sensors gently lowered themselves to his neck armor and he slowly walked over, being mindful of his large steps on the metal ground.
What he saw was an almost beautiful grave site if he didn't remind himself that it was his beautiful mate and his other sparkling were laid there to rest.
It had a bunch of small pebble-like metal bits that completely bordered the graves, where the actual graves were covered with very finely ground metallic soil to become metallic dust. It cushioned the two Technafury structures, easily decomposed down to the Proto-Skeletons already with with age and acid rains. There was a large TechnaFury skeleton to the right and a much, much smaller little TechnaFury skeleton that did not seem to be as developed as the one to the right.
Mulviing took in the details with his massive and sensitive optics, noting the scratches and dust on the skeletons. Both skeletons were curled on their sides facing each other, almost as if in sleeping positions. Mulviing also noticed that the only thing that seemed to be out of place, was on the smaller skeleton to the left. On the right servo, on the index digit, part of the small clawed digit was missing about a two and a half Espes (A Cybertronian Inch) of itself.
Mulviing opened his mouthplates to ask about that, but when Suleykzii saw what his sire was staring at he explained softly, "I-I think it broke off when I dragged her remains here when I found them, she was nearly j-just b-bare bones when I found her. I-I searched for it for so many cycles sire, but I-I never found it. I'm s-so sorry. I-I wanted her to be whole sire, I-I swear it!", Suleykzii started to cry softly when he finished.
Mulviing stared at his mechling for a moment for a transforming sound was heard and now in his Robotic Alt. form, Mulviing walked up to and hugged his sparkling gently. If there was one thing that Mulviing enjoyed about this smaller two legged form, it was the fact that it was now easier to comfort his mechling.
That hug broke the final resiliant straw in Suleykzii and he started to cry harder, he had missed his sire so much, he truly longed for his sister again, part of his spark still felt empty, never to be whole again. He missed his carrier, her soft blue optics that would stare at himself and his sister playing and roughhousing with each other. His carrier gently licking the top of his helm with her glossa to calm him down at night when large storms rolled in and Cyber lightning struck and the accompanying thunder would scare him.
He missed them, he missed them so much!
Mulviing hugged his sparkling as he to got tears of energon in his optics again and he comforted his sparkbroken mechling.
After a few cycles, Suleykzii calmed down and he backed out of his sire's embrace and he said with a soft and grateful smile on his faceplate, "Thank you sire...for coming back."
Mulviing nodded softly, unable to make his vocal processor work as he stared at his deceased mate's and sparkling's Proto-Skeletons. After a moment he shut his optics slowly and hung his helm, and Suleykzii also did the same thing.
Both transformed TechnaFuries had a moment of silence and mourning, before Suleykzii's optics snapped open and he said with conviction in his tone, "Sire, I think I now know why Primus brought you back to me."
Mulviing's optics also snapped open and he turned his helm to look at his mechling and he asked gently, "What my kul?"
Suleykzii's optics narrowed and he explained as his clawed servos shut into tight fists, "I think Primus brought us together again for a mission we must undertake ourselves."
Mulviing raised a brow ridge and he looked at his sparkling's structure, it was tense and angry, but also hurt and mourning at the same time. Mulviing did not like that look on his sparkling, but he was also curious where his remaining sparkling was going with this, so he would hear Suleykzii out.
"What mission is that my kul?", Mulviing asked softly, but also curiously.
Suleykzii looked his sire dead in the optics and he exclaimed with the utmost anger in his tone, "The destruction of the last Prime!"
