Chapter 1: Arrival and The Rising Darkness.
The scene starts with a lush green field and a crystal blue river surrounded by a beautiful trees of different kinds, and multiple crystals varying of red, green, and blue dotting the landscape in random spots all over the field.
"Every legend as has a beginning and an ending, as it is told time and time again." A wise yet somewhat old voice said.
The scene changed from the ground to the air as the clouds flew by at a rapid pace before it clears up enough to show what seems to be a volcano currently erupting with magma, surround by dark clouds that seem to glow an angry red.
"Though, as any legend. Even if it ends, there's always a new chapter to be written." The voice finished.
Then it speeds up immensely to where in its then over the mouth of the volcano, before diving into it only to stop at a giant dark purple crystal with three figure's fighting in the air above it.
The first one is what appears to be a fully gown male Dragon, he seems to have dark purple scales that fade to blood red, his wings have a faded tan membrane with tears int and what appears to be a faded tan bone spikes at the top that seem to curve slightly inwards. Three large toes on each paw with large razor sharp faded tan claws, a faded tan underbelly, two large, faded tan bone like blades pointing backwards on the shoulders, which also ran down the back to the middle of the tail. At the tip of the tail a dual fork like blades covered in dark purple scales. The head has what appears to be three faded tan horns that curve backwards, the cheeks both have what looks to be dark purple mixed with red scaled spikes curving outwards, the eyebrows have what looks to be a large slightly curved horns that are covered in dark purple scales, the eyes however are cat like while glowing a sinister yellow. This is Malefor, the fallen Purple Dragon and the Dark Master.
The second is another male Dragon, though this one is very young. He's covered in purple scales with orange-gold underbelly. He has a row of orange-gold fins with a yellow-orange membrane that runs from the top of his head to before the tip of his tail. On the tip of his tail is an orange-gold spade like blade, his wings have orange-gold bones with single spike that is pointing outwards and an yellow-orange wing membrane. Just like the first one he also has three toes on each paw, only difference is the claws are smaller bit still sharp enough to cut through flesh. On his head is a pair of orange-gold ram like horns that are angled like a zigzag pattern to where it its pointing outwards, a pair of amethyst eyes that shin with bravery and valor. This is Spyro, the latest purple Dragon.
The third is female, judging be how more curved she is in comparison to the two males. She has a brilliant obsidian-purple scales, a strange white pattern with the inside an darker shade of obsidian-purple on both her forehead and shoulders. Her underbelly is a magenta-pink, a pair of wings that have a obsidian-purple bones with a magenta-pink membrane and on the top of them is a silver dagger like blade. A long whip like tail with a silver bracer at the middle and the tip if the tail is a silver dagger that's slightly bigger than the ones on her wings. Like the other two she has three toes on each paw with silver claws and a pair of silver bracers on both forelegs, around her neck is a silver chocker. Instead of a regular mouth like the other two, she has a sharp beak, she also has six silver horns that slightly curved upwards, her eyes are bright light-green. This is Cynder, the former Terror of the sky's and Spyro's friend and ally.
The three dragon's hovered in the air as they faced off against each other, Malefor with a look of both anger and hatred. He should be beating these whelps, yet somehow they're able to match him blow for blow without receiving any once of damage. This can't be happening to him, it just can't! He won't allow it!
"You cannot beat me! I AM ETERNAL!" Malefor called out in rage before he unleashed a dark-purple beam.
Both Spyro and Cynder unleashed a light-purple and a obsidian-purple beams in return and both sides beam attacks collided causing a beam struggle. Malefor screamed as he was overwhelmed by the blast as it destroys him causing a massive explosion. However, while the battle was won, the destruction of their word is still going on around them, both Spyro and Cynder landed on the giant crystal.
"Spyro… I'm so sorry." Cynder said sadly as she remembered what Malefor said earlier.
"Don't be, it's over now." Spyro said as he forgave her knowing that what Malefor said was meant to divide them.
Cynder looked around and noticed how the earth around them is breaking apart.
"So this is it…" Cynder said somberly, just then Spyro remembered what his mentor Ignitas said and realized what he had to do.
"I know what I need to do. Just get out of here, Cynder." Spyro said though Cynder had other ideas.
"Spyro, no… You don't have to do anything, let's just go." Cynder said not wanting to leave him behind.
"Where Cynder? There will be nothing left! The world is breaking apart." Spyro said as he knew what would happen if he didn't do anything to stop it. "But I think I can stop it, I think I'm meant to." Spyro finished as he realized what his destiny is.
"Then I'm with you…" Cynder said as she made her decision to stay with the one Dragon she cares for.
Spyro nodded before he closed his eyes and dug deep in himself to bring out his true power, before he is covered in an amethyst light and started to send large waves of energy throughout the world causing it to stop its destruction. After a moment, the world started to pull itself back together, though Cynder noticed that once its finished they wouldn't be able to escape and has excepted this. As Spyro finishes a portal opens, this surprised Cynder as she wasn't expecting this to happen as soon as he finished. Speaking of which, Spyro stopped glowing and collapsed onto the giant crystal, this caused Cynder to run over to him.
"Spyro, are you alright?" Cynder asked in concern, only to receive a weak nod in respawns.
"Yeah… Though I should have expected this when I used the last of my strength to open that portal over there." Spyro said, shocking Cynder at what he said.
"You made that portal over there?" Cynder asked.
"Yeah, I knew that we'd been trapped here with no way out after the world was put back together and used what was left of my strength to create the portal to the surface." Spyro said as he weakly stood up. "However, it won't remain for long. We must hurry before it closes." Spyro finished.
Cynder nodded before she decided to help him get to the portal, however as soon as they got to a foot away the portal started to suck in the air around them so fast that they didn't have a chance to brace themselves and were sucked into it before it closes. As they traveled through the portal something rumbled as the portal began to distort, for some reason they started to feel immense pain as if their bodies are changing as they go. First they felt themselves start to grow to a size that neither of them could conceive and then they felt their skin burning as if it were being burnt by the hottest fire before feeling it turn cold. They then felt some energy surge through them, not the energy they get from absorbing the crystals they smash but a completely new and more powerful anergy that is fifty times greater than before. Suddenly there was a bright light and the two blacked out.
Meanwhile at the mountain peak of MT. Everest inside a cave a portal can be seen appearing before a something large fell from it and crashed into the ground causing the ground to shake greatly before the portal disappeared. The dust cloud from the impact settles revealing a giant robotic Dragon. It has the same appearance as Spyro, but with added features to it, for it seems to have a pair of orange-gold fins with a yellow-orange membrane behind both sides of it jaw and right under its chin, there's also another pair on the shoulders, a smaller set of orange-gold horns beneath the main pair on the top of its head. The robotic dragon gives out a groan before it lifts it's head and open its eyes to reveal a pair of glowing amethyst optics, as it sat up and held its head with its right paw.
"Agh… What happened?" It said in a very strong yet wise male voice, he seemed too noticed the sound of his voice. "Wait… Why does my voice sound different?" He asked no one, then he seemed to remember something. "Cynder!" He shouted in panic and began to look around, only to see no one ells around but him.
This made him worry as he tried to think on how this happened before it hits him.
"We must have gotten separated when we passed through the portal, if that's the case then I hope she'll be alright till I find her." He finished before noticing his fore legs no longer flesh, but now made of metal and raised his right claw and flexed it a little before going to examen the rest of his body to see the same result. "This… must also be the result of passing through it as well." He said to himself, before seeing that the cave goes deeper and decided to venture further into it, as he sees no harm in doing so.
Spyro found it difficult to maneuver as he had a difficult time balancing in his new body, as he continued to walk he started to get the handle of it and before long he is walking as he did when he still flesh and blood. He walked further into the depths of the cave and before long he came to a cavern filled with what looked like blue spirit gems all over the walls and ceiling, though what really got his attention was the pile of golden crystals that seem to glow with a mysterious energy.
Spyro didn't know why but he felt something was telling him to eat the blue crystals, so went to the closest set of blue crystals and lifted his right paw and grabbed a hold of a large chunk before yanking it off and looked at it for a moment before he opened his metallic maw and dropped the crystal inside before closed it and started to chew on it, causing some crunching sounds to be heard before he swallowed it. Spyro grunted as he felt himself get energized, like more so than he felt when he smashed a Green Gem, and it felt good so good he continued eating more of the crystals till he felt that he was full enough to stop. However, the golden crystal in the back still has his attention and decided to have a small piece of it, As soon as the golden crystal went down his throat, Spyro's eyes widened as he felt something more powerful fill his body and it made him feel stronger than he ever thought possible!
Suddenly he felt very, very sleepy. He tried shaking his head to clear the drossiness but that seemed to only make it worse.
"Maybe a quick nap won't hurt." Spyro said before walking over to a spot he deemed good enough and laid down and curled up before closing his optics.
As he felt himself drift away into his dreams, we find Cynder is not in a cave but what appears to be a highly advanced ship of some sort. However it seems like Spyro, she too has a robotic body, though it seems as though her adult form is the one from when she served Malefor, only now more robotic and her marking are glowing white, and her optics are glowing a light-green. She sighed to herself as she gazed at the reflective surface of the wall before her.
"It seems no matter what I do, my past will always haunt me." She said sadly in a very mature feminine voice with a slight subduction to it, before turning her attention to the large purple crystal that seems to radiate a slight mist to it.
She felt attracted to the crystal, for some reason just being this near it seems to draw her in like a magnet. Though she tried to ignore it for it seems to give her a strange feeling that she can't quite explain. Out of curiosity she walked as best she could over to the crystal, only to feel the sudden urge to take a piece, so she lifted her left slender paw and grabbed a small piece before yanking it off and examined it.
"What is it about you that's got me interested?" She whispered to herself, then she heard what sound like large footsteps coming her way and instantly used her Shadow Streak to hide from whoever it is.
"Master, I'm telling you I heard someone in here." A high pitched voice said as two... robots entered the room.
One is a large silver robot with what appears to be a purple cylinder on its right arm, it has bright red glowing optics, the other is a smaller sleek and thin one with a silver and black paint job with what looks to be wings and a long red cylinder on each arm and it too has bright re glowing optics.
"Well I don't see anyone here, Starscream." The large one said in a dark and intimidating voice to the smaller one that she know knows called Starscream.
"But Lord Megatron I did hear something large collide in here!" Starscream said to the now named Megatron.
Megatron groaned as he rolled his eyes before noticing some claw marks on the floor.
"Hmm, perhaps someone has been in here." Megatron said, before walking over to the marks on the floor, with Starscream fallowing behind.
"What in the Pit made those." Starscream questioned as he noticed it as well, Cynder cursed herself for them finding her claw marks.
Megatron kneeled down to look at them.
"Either we have a Insecticon on the ship, or..." Megatron said as he looked at Starscreams hands and noticed how the seeker's razor sharp hands looked similar to the marks on the ground "Or someone is attempting a poor excuse of a joke!" He said angrily as he stood back up, Starscream flinched and backed up a little before understanding what his master was insinuating.
"Lord Megatron, I assure you I wouldn't dare play such a trick!" Starscream said before noticing what looked like a large dent in the floor a few feet away. "Master, look." Starscream said as he pointed to the large dent, Megatron fallowed the pointed finger to see what Starscream see's.
"Intriguing." Megatron said before walking over to it and noticed the same claw marks, only they seem to dig deeper than Starscream's talons. "It seems you were telling the truth." He said as he bent down to have a closer look.
"Come on out." Megatron ordered whoever it was that was hiding in the room as he stood back up, only to be meet with silence. Megatron had to give credit to whoever it is and grinned showing his shark like teeth of which Cynder has to admit intimidates her a bit.
"Okay then, hide and seek it is." Starscream said with his own grin before both of them started to circle the room in different directions.
Cynder knew that she has to make her move, now! And without warning both Megatron and Starscream witnessed a large mass of shadow sprint out of the room, this of which caused Megatron raise an eyebrow as he's never seen anything like it before, and for Starscream to jump in surprise as he watched it go past them at a frightening speed!
"What in the name of the Allspark was that!?" Starscream exclaimed in shock.
"Something never before seen in Cybertronian history." Megatron replied before noticing a shard is missing from the large purple crystal. "And it seems they didn't leave empty handed." He growled as Starscream came over and noticed the same thing.
"Soundwave! Put the warship on alert and have the troops be on the lookout for a large mass of shadows streaking down the halls!" Starscream ordered through the commlink, no sooner did he give the orders red lights started to flash and an alarm started to sound off.
Though Megatron had an idea of where it was going and left the room running with Starscream fallowing behind. Meanwhile with Cynder, she continued to use her Shadow streak to bypass the solders that all look the same before she noticed a couple of them a head of her open a large set of doors that lead to what looks like a flight deck, perfect it's just what she needs. So she poured in more speed and was able to get past them and make it to the flight deck. The solders converted their hands into triangle shape tubes that seem to be building up power as they watch as Cynder stopped in the middle, during the time both Megatron and Starscream arrived behind their drones and watched to what was about to unfold.
And what a sight it was, for they see the mass of shadows seem to get bigger and bigger before it started to peal a way to reveal Cynder in her full glory. Her appearance surprised the two drones and Starscream and only Megatron is captivated by her appearance.
"A Predacon?! But that's impossible!" Starscream exclaimed, this got Cynder's attention which Megatron noticed and stepped forth. "Master, keep your distance!" Starscream called out in worry.
"I believe you stole something that belongs to me." Megatron said smoothly.
"Hehe. Sorry, big guy. But I've got to fly." Cynder said catching everyone by surprise and it lasted long enough for her to take flight and fly at speeds that even Megatron would have a hard time trying to keep up with.
"Did it just... talk? I thought Predacons were just savage creatures." Starscream said.
"That doesn't seem to be the case. Soundwave, have the ship stand down." Megatron ordered.
"My liege, surely we're not letting the Predacon go?" Starscream questioned.
"Of course not, we'll see if Soundwave is able to track her energy signature and once she's in one place we'll go there and retrieve what's mine." Megatron said before he started to walk back into the warship with Starscream fallowing suit.
When they reached the bridge Soundwave was waiting for them
"Well?" Megatron asked him
Soundwave shook his head no, this caused Starscream to growl.
"What do you mean no?!" Starscream said, before Soundwave pulled up the energy signature of the Predacon before it disappeared. "You mean to say that the Predacon cloaked itself?!" Starscream exclaimed, Soundwave nodded his head yes.
"Then it seems that tracking her is out of the question. Nevertheless keep an eye out for it, if her energy signature does appear again well send the troops out to either capture or kill." Megatron said, Soundwave nods his head in confirmation and went back to his station.
"It's strange, all Energon makes a signature, that's how we can find it. How can it cloak the Dark Energon shard?" Starscream asked.
"What's more is how did she come out of the shadows? I have a feeling that this isn't a normal Predacon." Megatron said.
"Of course it's a Predacon, what else could it be?" Starscream said.
"Do not forget Starscream, there are some Cybertronians out there that don't have vehicle modes. This is no Dinobot and the beast was a Predacon they are the only ones that have such a form. But either a Predacon survived the great cataclysm or there's something more going on here." Megatron said, Starscream thought about what his master just said, and it does make sense.
Meanwhile Cynder is flying as fast as possible so they couldn't catch her and as an added safety precaution she decided to use her wind element to make sure they couldn't track her, though as she flew she noticed that she seems to be losing energy from flying at the speed she's currently at. Then all of a sudden, her nose seems to be picking up a sweet smell and decided to check it out, so she changed course to fallow the smell. As she did she noticed that it seems to go downwards, so she flew down and landed on the ground with grace then she should have with her new body.
She landed with a silent thud as she followed where the scent was coming from, she continued to walk as fallowed the scent and it didn't take long for her find that the source is coming from inside a cave just up a head.
"Well, at least it'll provide shelter for a while." Cynder said to herself before venturing inside that cave.
At first there was nothing in sight, however the deeper she goes the more the scent grows stronger. She then noticed a faint glowing blue light just up a head and decided to keep moving. when she reached far into the cave she found blue crystals all over the place, and for some reason she has the incredible urge to eat the blue crystals. So she set down the purple crystal and went over to the nearest set of blue crystals and lifted her right paw and took a good piece before opening her beak and dropping it inside her mouth before she closed it and started to chew on it, Cynder felt energized. More so than she ever has been before, so she started to consume more of the blue crystals till she felt that ate enough, she then turned her attention to the purple crystal shard she took from that flying warship, for some reason she now felt the urge to eat it as well. Cynder put the purple shard into her mouth and chewed it up
When she swallowed it she felt strange before then feeling very sleepy, of course like what Spyro did she tried to shake it off only for the feeling grow even more, so she walked over to a spot she deemed good enough and laid down on the ground and curled up before closing her optics and fell asleep.
During the Time Spyro woke up to something very strange, instead of the cave filled with blue and gold crystals, he found himself in what looked like a space covered in blue energy all around him.
"Wow, all that's missing is fireflies, floating rocks and sheep, then this would officially be the freakiest dream ever." Spyro said.
"I can assure you young one, that this is no dream." A deep wise yet kind voice called out behind him, causing him to turn around is shocked at what he is seeing.
What's standing before him is what he could call a literal giant robot of some kind covered in the same energy that made up this place. The giant in question has what he could think of as a set of metal wings that seem to look angelic in appearance, a set of long cannon barrels on the forearms and on the shoulders, the head seems to have a set of funnels on both sides and the top looks like some kind of crown, the optics are glowing a bright gold that seem to hold wisdom and strength.
Spyro took a stance as he didn't like getting snuck up on, the giant raised its right arm in a none threatening manner.
"Calm yourself young one, I'm no threat to you." The giant said.
"Who are you? Strange, metallic, angel looking dude." Spyro asked before realizing something. "Great, now I sound like Sparks." He groaned, causing the giant let out a small gentle laugh at this.
"It's quite fine young one, I'm known to my children as Primus the incarnation of creation." The giant now known as Primus said.
"So what do you want?" Spyro asked.
"Do you recall the moment consumed a golden crystal?" Primus questioned.
"Yeah, remember. What about it?" Spyro asked.
"What you consumed was what's known as Golden Energon." Primus said.
"Golden Ener-what?" Spyro asked, Primus then remembered that Spyro isn't from their universe.
"Right, I forgot that you aren't from this plane of existence, Energon is the fuel and live blood of my children known as Cybertronians." Primus explained
"Okay, I understand that. But what is Golden Energon?" Spyro asked.
"Golden Energon is a type of fuel that was used by my first creations, the Thirteen Prime's as a way to communicate with me while I supplied life to their world." Primus finished.
"Okay, and?" Spyro asked.
"By consuming it, you basically become a demi-Prime, meaning you're in line of becoming a leader for the Cybertronian race." Primus finished, this shocked Spyro for he never saw himself as a leader to anyone.
"Wait… You mean I'm supposed to lead you're kind?" Spyro asked hopping to be wrong, only for those hopes to be dashed when Primus nodded his head yes, Spyro groaned as his ears drooped. "Great, just when I thought everything was going to be good with Malefor defeated, this happens." Spyro said somberly.
"I understand that this seems like a big burden to bear, but you won't have to worry about that till you receive the Matrix of Leadership." Primus said getting Spyro's attention. "The Matrix of Leadership is vessel of pure energy, and the collective wisdom of the Prime's before you and is currently in the possession of the current Prime that is Leading a small group called Autobots." Primus explained.
"Is that what I am?" Spyro asked.
"No, at least not yet. Currently you aren't aligned with any of the two warring factions. Besides, I know of a way for you to get partial access to the wisdom of the Prime's." Primus explained, though the last part got his attention.
"And what would that be?" Spyro asked.
"The Matrix of Valor, it's a lesser version of the Matrix of Leadership made by the great Nova Prime." Primus said.
"Where do I find this Matrix, and do you know where Cynder is?" Spyro asked worried about her.
"The Matrix of Valor is somewhere on earth, where I do not know. However, I can give you a clue. Head to the very south of the planet, you will find it there." Primus said.
"And Cynder?" Spyro asked, Primus closed his optics as if something terrible happened.
"Unfortunately, it appears that your friend is going to be chosen as my brother's version of a Prime." Primus said.
"Why, what's wrong with that? Is Cynder in trouble?" Spyro asked worried about Cynder.
"It's hard to say what kind of trouble she's in for I cannot see what transpires in 'his' realm." Primus responded.
"And who's 'he'?" Spyro asked.
"His name is Unicron, while I represent creation. He represents destruction, while he isn't physically awake his spirit is and has been waiting for one to be his herald, known as Unicronus." Primus answered.
"He's going to corrupt Cynder and turn her into his slave?!" Spyro exclaimed.
"No. Like you she will have free will over own action's and will receive abilities none have ever seen before. And if I know my brother as I believe I do, he'll at some point bequeath her his own version of the Matrix of Leadership." Primus explained, this caused Spyro to relax a bit.
"So… She'll be alright?" Spyro asked.
"That's… hard to say, young one." Primus said.
"You're not exactly making me feel better here, pops." Spyro said as his worry for Cynder is still present.
"I understand young one, you have great feelings for the young femme." Primus said, this surprised Spyro for how did he know? Primus sees his expression and chuckles a bit. "Do not be surprised young one, your feelings for her are easy to see as it is with the current Prime." Primus finished, this caused Spyro to sigh as he knew he's been figured out, by the incarnation creation none the less.
"I'm that obvious, huh?" Spyro said.
"Quite so, though that does not mean you should give up upon it. In fact, I encourage it." Primus said, Spyro just chuckles at this.
"Even Ignitus said something similar about that." Spyro said somberly, before he straightened up. "If that's what's going to happen, I'll make sure to be there for her and help her with her new burden." Spyro said with conviction, Primus can only smile slightly and nod at the young one's conviction.
"Very good, young one. Remember, to trust you're Spark and it will never fail you. Now go, Infernacus Prime!" Primus said before he glowed a very bright light, causing Spyro to be blinded before waking up inside of the cave he fell asleep in.
As quick as a lightning bolt, Spyro jump onto his paws and looked around before staring at the Golden Energon. Spyro bowed his head towards the Golden Energon before turning towards the exit of the cave and knew what he had to do before he starts his search for Cynder.
"I have to make sure that I can still use my elemental abilities before I leave this area, only then I can start looking for you… Cynder." Spyro thought to himself before he started to make his way towards the exit.
Meanwhile, Cynder woke to a space filled with dark purple energy, with nothing in sight which concerned her a bit. As she looked around it was like a void with nothing in sight.
"This looks like the convexity that Malefor was imprisoned… before I set him free…" Cynder said somberly as she remembered what happened to set him free.
"How amusing." A very, very deep dark and powerful voice said from behind her, causing her to jump into her fighting stance as she looked to who spoke behind her.
Her optics widen in shock at what stand before her is a giant covered in the very same energy that made up this place and she has to say that this giant is a very terrifying sight, for this giant is the very definition of evil.
"To think someone would unknowingly consumed my Dark Energon." The giant said, this caused Cynder's optics to widen a bit as she stood at the ready in case this being tries something.
"Who… are you?" Cynder slowly asked, the giant seems to take amusement from her reaction.
"I can sense your fear young one, and what's this I sense. Ah you've been touched by darkness." The giant said.
"Yeah, yeah, tell me something I don't know." Cynder said.
"Hmm… Perhaps you are worthy of it." The giant said, catching Cynder's attention.
"Worthy of what exactly?" Cynder questioned.
"Before that, I believe you wanted to know who I am?" The giant said.
"Yeah… I did." Cynder said slowly.
"I am Unicron, the Chaos Bringer and the Lord of the Undead!" The giant know known as Unicron said, this shocked Cynder for that would mean that she stand before a god!
"So what do you want?" Cynder asked
"The only reason you're here before me is because you consumed my very life blood. However, you're the first to ever be this close and not start begging for their puny lives, which is impressive." Unicron said to let it sink in on what he's talking about. "As for what I want… I believe it is time for my first herald to a rise." Unicron finished.
"Herald for what?" Cynder asked
"The herald for the title of Unicronus." Unicron answered.
"Does this title come with money?" Cynder asked jokingly trying to alleviate the weirdness of this situation.
"There is no need for such prattle, for once you become a Unicronus. You will gain abilities that you can only imagine." Unicron said, Cynder sighs as she figures this would happen with or without her say so.
"What do you want me to do?" She asked excepting what is happening her.
"The only thing you will need to focus on is learning how to use the power of my life blood that runs through your veins, and when the time come's you'll receive the Matrix of Chaos!" Unicron explained.
"So I could become a destroyer like you?" Cynder asked with a frown.
"Hehe… not in the sense of the word, it be up to you how that is defined, I have no control of those who would wield it." Unicron said.
"So where do I find this Matrix of Chaos?" Cynder asked.
"You'll know… when the time is right." Unicron said cryptically before the whole space is flooded with a dark light and everything went dark, before Cynder jumped awake and noticed that she's back inside the cave, Cynder sighs
"Spyro I hope you're doing better than I am." She said to herself before deciding to head out and try and find him. She started to head out of the cave, unaware of what's going to take place.
Meanwhile Spyro is currently outside of the cave practicing his elemental abilities to make sure their up to snuff. A explosion occurs causing him to get blasted out of the cave.
"Okay, not to self, Energon is also explosive." Spyro said as he got back up and went to examine the damage, only to see that it was just the one that exploded and not the rest of it and the Golden Energon. He sighed in relief of this. "Thank the ancestors that the rest didn't go off." Spyro said to himself.
Before going back outside of the cave and decided to continue to train his powers, he took a deep breath in order to clear his mind. Suddenly he felt something beginning to change, his body began to shift. First he stood on his hind legs that shifted to longer more powerful ones with his rear paws becoming bigger as a result and the front of his pelvis is what looks like a loincloth with what looks like a silhouette of a dragon's head on it that seems to glow a golden color, the shoulders shifted into pauldrons that have a set of three large horns that spike upwards and the forearms into gantlets that have the front paws on top and a set of five fingered clawed metal servo's that have a round sphere that glows a golden color. The chest merged with his dragon head with the eye of it now glowing a golden color, his wings seem to come together to form a kind of cape that flows in the wind. Lastly a new head emerged that has a set of blade like funnels on the sides of the helm in the forehead is a dual golden fines connected to a center piece that is gold as well, a silver chin guard and a set of golden optics with a mouth that has a row of sharp metal teeth.
Spyro looked at himself in the reflection of a crystal before he suddenly felt something coming up his throat, realizing what might be happening he turned away from the crystal and let lose a very large golden flame that seem to melt the snow and ice around him before he cut it off and observed what the result is and is shocked to see a large area of it melted even the rocks were melted to hot magma before it cooled off. Spyro then heard something and looked towards the sky to see five strange flying objects heading in his direction.
A few minutes before on the warship.
"What do you mean you picked up a burst of Energon?! Energon doesn't just explode." Starscream said as Soundwave is showing the location of where the burst of Energon was detected, before a new signal appeared, one that look familiar.
"Another Predacon?" Megatron said as he looked at it.
"Well as humans say, there's never just one." Starscream said.
"Could two Predacons have come towards each other looking to mate?" Megatron questioned.
"It's a possibility we can't ignore, Lord Megatron." Starscream said as he thought about it. "Just by looking at this Predacon signature, we can tell that it's a different gender all together, meaning that…" Starscream trailed off.
"We now have a male and just by looking at the signal, this one could possibly be stronger than the female from earlier." Megatron finished and thought of what to do about the situation and he quickly came to a decision. "Send a squadron of Seekers to the current coordinates and see if this one can't be captured alive if possible." Megatron ordered.
"And if this one shows the same ability to speak?" Starscream questioned.
"Then have the troops sent there to report immediately and we'll go there to see if we can't… convince him to 'join' our cause." Megatron finished.
"At once, my liege." Starscream said before setting off to send a squadron of Seekers to the location.
"And Soundwave. Have Laserbeak sent there to get a visual of the Predacon." Megatron ordered, then the front piece of Soundwave's torso detached and turned into a six winged drone and flew off to the location in question.
Meanwhile in a secret facility inside of a mesa that is currently homed to the group known as the Autobots, we see a white-n-red mech with light blue optics at what looked to be a highly advanced computer that seems to be picking up the same thing.
"That's impossible, blasted earth tech." The mech said giving the computer a smack, before hearing multiple heavy footsteps and turned around to see a red-n-blue mech with navy blue optics who towers over him, a small fem with a blue-n-pink paint job with cyan optics, a large green-n-black mech with light blue optics, and finally a yellow-n-black mech with large baby blue optics approaching him.
"What's the matter, Ratchet?" The red-n-blue mech asked.
"This blasted system seems to have picked up a burst of Energon and now fallowed by a new Cybertronian signature." The white-n-red mech now known as Ratchet replied.
"A new Cybertronian life signal, is it Autobot or Decepticon?" The red and blue mech asked.
"Neither Optimus, it would appear to be a neutral, though this may just be another bug in this blasted system." Ratchet said giving the monitor another smack, only for it to remain the way it is.
"Regardless, this new Cybertronian is in danger of the Decepticons finding them, we must act." The red-n-blue mech know known as Optimus said, causing Ratchet sigh as he knew that he is right.
"Very well then, I'll run the Groundbridge." Ratchet said before moving over another system and started to typing in the coordinates, while Optimus turned to the rest of them.
"Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, this Cybertronian-" Optimus started.
"If it is not a glitch." Ratchet added while he worked.
"Nevertheless we must stop the Decepticons from taking this new Cybertronian and making him or her one of them." Optimus finished.
"I've been waiting to kick some con tailpipe!" The green-n-black mech now known as Bulkhead said as he pounded his fists together.
"I don't want to see another one fall to darkness, so count me in!" The yellow-n-black now known as Bumblebee said in beeps and whirs.
"Let's make sure we get there in time to prevent that." The small blue-n-pink fem now known as Arcee said, this caused Optimus to nod before turning to Ratchet.
"Ratchet bridge us out and prepare sick bay. We may need it." Optimus said before a mouth guard snaped into place.
"Good luck." Ratchet said as he activated the ground bridge, and large set of rings made a sound before a green vortex opened before them.
"Autobots, rollout!" Optimus called out before his form shifted into a red-n-blue semitruck before it drove into the green vortex.
Bumblebee transformed into a Urbana 500 with main color of yellow and black strips, Arcee turned into a normal blue motorcycle, with two headlights in the front. Bulkhead turned into a green SUV jeep meant for off roading, they all followed suit into the vortex.
Meanwhile Spyro is watching as the five strange machines flew down and before his optics they all shifted into mechs that all have a dark purple color, a silver head with what looks like a bright red visor land before him, and converted their hands into triangle shaped barrels that seem to have a red glow coming from them, this put Spyro on edge for he knows trouble when he sees it and knew that this encounter will more than likely end with blood shed.
"Hey, is that the Predacon?" The one on the far left asked the one next it in a male voice.
"Hard to tell, should we call it in?" The other one questioned.
"Let's see if he can understand us first." The one in the middle said, and Spyro can hear them clearly talking about him, even though he doesn't know what this 'Predacon' is, he can assume they mean his dragon form.
"I can hear you, you know." Spyro called out, catching their attention.
"It can talk?" The right one said.
"Yes, he can." Spyro said in annoyance. "What do you want?" Spyro questioned while getting into a fighting stance, well the best he can at the moment considering his new form is completely foreign to him.
"We're here on Lord Megatron's orders to find you." The one on the far right said.
"Come in commander Starscream, the target is still here, in a different form and he does have the ability to speak." The middle one said, which confused Spyro for he didn't know what exactly is going on.
"In a different form? Elaborate." Starscream said over the comm link.
"Hey look, it's a giant tiger!" Spyro said pointing behind them
"A what?" The middle one said as they all turned around to see nothing, but when they turned around they saw Spyro turning a corner.
"Commander Starscream, the target is on the run! We're in pursuit!" The middle said before making a motion for the others to fallow Spyro, which they do.
"Capture him at any cost!" Starscream shouted through the comm link.
The trio of cons turned the corner before running away as a giant boulder was rolling at them, they kept running as if Unicron himself was after them. Four of them were able to get out of the way, though one was unfortunate enough to be ran over by the boulder and crushed the poor guy, the other's looked at remains of their fallen comrade for a moment before one of them decided to look in the direction were the boulder came to see Spyro there with his servo's glowing a faint green for a moment before the glow faded away. Spyro then took a deep breath before igniting his servo's in golden flames before he charged at them, causing the drones to take aim and start firing bright red bolts of energy at him.
Spyro weaved through the red bolts shot at him and started to pick up enough speed to get close enough to the one ahead of them and delivered a powerful right hook to the head, this caused the drones head to be both scorched and to fly off its shoulders. As Spyro pointed his hand at one lightning shot out zapping it. Spyro looked at his hands before he then focused making flames appear in his servos and turned them into fireballs before he looked at the remaining two and pointed his servo's and shot the fire balls. The flaming spheres flew through the air so fast that they exploded on impact and sent them flying into the snow covered mountain, Spyro then carefully walked up to them and saw that the impact from the fireballs tore through them leaving good sized holes that are steaming from earlier. Spyro then took a deep breath as he tried to collect on just happened.
"Alright… so there's someone that want's to capture these 'Predacons' and they seem to think that I'm one, fallowing that logic they would think the same if they spotted Cynder." Spyro said to himself.
Before wearing a strange sound to his right, he looked and is stunned to see what looked like a green portal appearing out of nowhere. Deciding to play it safe, he has his servo's glow and icy blue before making a motion and the snow gathered around him to make the perfect cover as observed what is about to happen, during the time Optimus and the rest of the Autobots drove out of the Groundbridge and transformed with their weapons out expecting Decepticons. Only to see the remains of five Vehicon troops, they stood down and looked around the area examining the wreckage of the Vehicons.
"Looks like we missed the party." Bulkhead said as he looked at the Vehicon that looked to have been crushed under something very heavy.
"No kidding, but where's the party guest?" Arcee said.
Suddenly Optimus whipped around pointing his blaster upward right in Spyro's face, who looked unafraid of the weapon pointed at him.
"You should not sneak up on others." Optimus said as made his weapon go away.
"Well I have had a hard time finding out who's a friend or foe around here." Spyro said as he dropped down.
"I didn't even hear him or even feel him." Bumblebee said to the others.
"Not only that, he's fragging huge!" Bulkhead said as they can clearly see that Spyro is at least a head taller than Optimus.
"I hope you're not here to cause trouble, otherwise…" Spyro trailed of before his servo's ignited in golden flames, surprising the bots.
"We do not mean you any harm. I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, this is Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Arcee." Optimus said introducing himself and the others with him.
"Spyro." Spyro said before extinguishing the flames around his servo's, Spyro then remembered something. "Wait… Did you say, Prime?" Spyro questioned.
"Indeed I am, why?" Optimus said, Spyro knew that he just found his 'older brother' in a sense and knew he had to show them something.
"Fallow me and I'll show why I asked." Spyro said before making his way to the cave, the Autobots stood there for a moment to discuss what to do.
"Optimus, should we fallow?" Arcee asked.
"Well I for one don't think it's a good idea, I mean he could be leading us into a trap!" Bulkhead said.
"Then why would he snuff out five Vehicon drone's and asked about Optimus being a Prime? I'd say there's more going on than we think." Bumblebee said, Optimus wayed the opinions of his troops before coming to a decision.
"We fallow him, but we'll remain vigilant of any suspicious activities." Optimus said before fallowing Spyro into the cave with the other bots fallowing behind.
Spyro led them to the cave and pointed to the Golden Energon, Optimus's optics widen, and his mouth guard slid back to reveal his mouth a gap in shock of the most Rare of Energon, while Bulkhead, Arcee, and Bumblebee stood in awe of it for they've never seen this type of Energon before.
"Uh… Is Energon supposed to look like that?" Bulkhead questioned.
"I don't think so?" Bumblebee replied, though Arcee noticed Optimus's expression and knew something is up.
"Optimus?" Arcee said getting their leader's attention. "What is it?" Arcee asked.
"Autobots, what we see before us is the rarest form of Energon to ever exist… Golden Energon." Optimus said before walking towards it, the Autobots don't understand the meaning of it, but if Optimus is making a big deal out of it, it must hold some form of significance.
"The old guy said it was used by the Primes to talk to him." Spyro said catching their attention.
"Old guy?" Arcee questioned not catching the meaning, this caused Spyro to sigh as he realized how much his brother has affected him.
"Right… you all may know him as Primus, the creator of the Thirteen Original Primes." Spyro said dropping the bomb shell.
"I believed the stories were just… a myth." Optimus said as he remembered everything that was written on Golden Energon.
"Well, they aren't as you can clearly see." Spyro said before walking over and stood next to Optimus as he looked at the Golden Energon with Optimus doing the same thing.
"You consumed a piece of it?" Optimus asked, Spyro nodded yes.
"Yeah… And I spoke to the big guy, older brother." Spyro said shocking Optimus as he figured what he meant by that.
"Your… the next to be Prime?" Optimus asked calmy, this new piece of information shocked the rest of the Autobots as they didn't think they'd find the next Prime when they came to investigate his energy signal.
"Yeah, and Primus told me where to find the Matrix of Valor to help me along the right path, even if the location is rather cryptic in my honest opinion." Spyro said, Optimus nodded in understanding for both the Primes and Primus can be rather cryptic at times when he sought guidance during direr situations.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa… You mean the new guy here is meant to take your place, Optimus?" Bulkhead questioned on behalf of his fellow Autobots.
"It would seem so, Bulkhead." Optimus said before bringing his two right digits on the side of his helm. "Ratchet, send a bridge and be prepared for our new arrival." Optimus said over the comm.
"I take it that you found the new Cybertronian?" Ratchet said over the comm.
"Indeed, old friend. And among other things." Optimus said before turning to Spyro who nodded his head yes that he'd go with them.
Before Optimus lead them all out of the cave and the Groundbridge appeared before them, Optimus went first as the other's fallowed suit. Meanwhile on the flying warship, Megatron and Starscream watched the video on the main screen that was recorded by Laserbeak, that had just returned from the sight the new Predacon was located before.
"Now I see what the drone was talking about when they called it in, though this should be impossible for it to do such a feet!" Starscream said.
While Megatron watched with rapid attention as they watched the mech defeat the Vehicons with strange yet fascinating abilities none have ever seen before… just like the Predacon femme from before, though from the looks of it, it would seem to Megatron that they lost their chance of convincing the mech into joining their cause.
"Regardless, it seems that Optimus has convinced this mech to join him and his lost cause." Megatron said with a frown.
"It would seem so, master." Starscream agreed.
"Soundwave, hasten your efforts to locate the female Predacon as quick as possible, we cannot allow the Autobots the opportunity have the keys to having an unstoppable army at his disposal." Megatron ordered, Soundwave nodded in understanding before he went to work in finding the other Predacon as fast as possible.
Meanwhile at the Autobot base Ratchet watched as his comrades walked through before hearing a really heavy set of footsteps and turned to that shocking sight of Spyro walking through and with one more step Spyro has officially entered their base before Ratchet closed the bridge and turned his attention to the new Cybertronian before him.
"I suppose you're the neutral that was found?" Ratchet said, Spyro raised a metallic eyebrow before shrugging.
"Guess so, the names Spyro by the way." Spyro said only to be waved off.
"Yes well, I'm Ratchet the medical officer of this base and the one who needs to make sure your still fully functional after being exposed to severe cold conditions, now fallow me to med bay." Ratchet said before walking away and Spyro fallowed him without complaint.
"The cold doesn't bother me. Dragons don't really get effected by weather conditions that much." Spyro said, causing Ratchet to top med step and turn around to face Spyro.
"I don't care if your immune to Dark Energon, you're still getting examined wither you like or not." Ratchet said before brandishing a wrench at the mech who took a step back and held his arms up in surrender.
"I understand that, I was just letting you know that it doesn't affect me as much as you would think." Spyro explained causing Ratchet to put his wrench away before muttering to himself and made a motion to fallow him.
They arrive in the med bay, Spyro will have to admit that the technology being used here is very impressive.
"Lay down on the birth and I'll start running diagnostics." Ratchet said before going over to a station and making sure everything he would need is there, while Spyro did as he was told and lied down on the birth and awaited for his so called diagnostics.
Spyro growled as he saw Ratchet come at him with a needle.
"Oh don't give me that, I just need a sample of your Energon to make sure nothing's wrong." Ratchet said causing Spyro to calm down and allow him to get it over with, Ratchet inserts the needle and as he finished drawing Energon he noticed something. "By the Allspark." Ratchet gasped as instead of blue Energon it is Gold Energon.
"What's wrong?" Spyro asked as he sees the Energon in the needle.
"Careful." Ratchet said to him
"You're shocked by something how do you expect me to be calm old man?" Spyro said as he looked at him.
"Gold Energon is flowing through your systems, instead of the regular blue like all other Cybertronians." Ratchet said, this made Spyro raise an metallic eyebrow.
"That's all? It must be because I had some of that Golden Energon when I was in my cave." Spyro said, this new bit of information shocked Ratchet.
"You… consumed actual Golden Energon?" Ratchet said slowly to be sure he heard right.
"Yeah, I did. Before you ask, yes I did speak to Primus as a result." Spyro said, Ratchet's optics narrowed at this.
"What did he tell you?" Ratchet questioned, wanting to know more.
"Other than saying that I'm next in line for the title of Prime? He said to seek out the Matrix of Valor somewhere far down south of the world." Spyro explained, Ratchet is shocked for a moment before he knew that now they may have a fighting chance.
"Well then, let's finished your diagnostics." Ratchet finished before putting the needle down.
And raised his right arm and had it pointed at Spyro before two pieces on it slid away and a light blue light started to run back and forth on Spyro's frame, a beeping sound can be heard before it stopped, and the two pieces slid back into place. Ratchet then had a look at the results, and it surprised him at what they are.
"Incredible. All your systems are running at maximum efficiency to the point where you'll not run low on Energon for another 1,000 earth years." Ratchet said, now its Spyro's turn to be surprised.
"That's… quite impressive actually." Spyro said in amazement.
Spyro scratched his chin in thought before he began to exhale but as he did bubbles came out of his mouth, he watched as the bubbles floated there before they popped in front of his face.
"Huh, didn't know I could do that." Spyro said as Ratchet mutters something under his breath.
"Well, your clear to leave. Let's go join the others." Ratchet said, Spyro nodded before he got off the birth and stood up.
They both leave the room and return to see that the others are bringing in all of the Energon from the cave, with the Groundbridge one as they continued to bring in more Energon.
"Were in the Matrix did you find all this Energon?" Ratchet asked as he watched them continue bringing in more of it.
"Probably from the cave I was staying in." Spyro said before deciding to go towards the bridge.
"And where are you going?" Ratchet questioned, causing Spyro to turn to him.
"To help in bringing all that Energon here, Ratchet." Spyro said before he went through the bridge.
Moments later Optimus can be seen walking in with more Energon, before Ratchet could say anything they all see Spyro walk back in with a large fragment of Energon, and it is the same size as him! Arcee gave Spyro a up and down glance as he brought the Energon in before setting it down.
"Liking what you're seeing?" Bumblebee teased her causing her to blush for a moment before regaining her composer.
"No, I'm just surprised that he's able to lift that thing without any difficulty." Arcee said.
"Not going to lie, the new guy is pretty strong." Bulkhead said as he walked by to help collect the rest of the Energon.
It took them a good hour to harvest all the Energon before finally getting the rest of the Golden Energon and bringing it to the base, Spyro put down the last of the Golden Energon before sighing relief.
"And that's the last of it." Spyro said and remembered something important. "Optimus, can ask you something?" Spyro asked getting his attention.
Meanwhile Cynder just finished practicing all her elements to make sure she could still use them in this new form and found that her abilities are stronger than they used to be.
"Must be the result of the Dark Energon flowing through me." Cynder said to herself before sighing and taking a deep breath to calm her mind from everything that happened in the last hour.
As she began to relax the same thing that happened to Spyro happened to her, first she too like Spyro stood on her hind legs that seem to get slightly thicker with her wings around it to look like a skirt of some kind that parted in the middle and ends half way down her shin and her paws turn into peds with two claws on each side. Her hips become very slender with curves and on her torso a set of large round plates with the upper center having what looked like a dark purple like gem that glows. Her shoulders have pauldrons with what looks like the lower part of her beak like mouth on them, her forearms became more lender with long slender claws and a small slender gauntlet that has her dagger like blades that were shown on the tip of her wings. On her back is the upper halve of her dragon head with the eye's now glowing a dark purple with the horns pointing upwards. Her helm has what looks like draconic sings but smaller, on top of her helm is what looks to be a row of spike from the back of her neck and on her forehead is another dark purple like gem that glows like the others, she has black feminine lips and a set of light green optics with purple iris.
Cynder looks at her newfound arms and gasped at what she sees and went back inside to look at the blue crystals to see her new form and is shocked even more than before at her appearance.
"This feels strange, yet good at the same time." Cynder said to herself as she continued to take in all her new features, Cynder looks at herself "Hmm, I wonder if Spyro would faint, checking me out." she said as she checked her entire body out.
Meanwhile on the flying warship, the Decepticons picked up her signal again from the fact she was too distracted by her new form to remember to cloak herself, as they gathered around Soundwave as he shows her location to them.
"Well, well. It seems our mystery Predacon from before has resurfaced, well done Soundwave." Megatron said before noticing something different about it. "And it seems she's now giving off a Dark Energon signature as well, meaning one thing." Megatron trailed off.
"That she's like you now, Lord Megatron" Starscream finished.
"Starscream, you and I will journey there and confront her ourselves." Megatron said before leaving the bridge with Starscream fallowing suit.
"Of course, Lord Megatron." Starscream said, though he's a little hesitant about something. "Though shouldn't we bring our elite Seekers with us on this one, considering what happened last time?" Starscream said.
"An excellent idea, Starscream." Megatron agreed.
Meanwhile Cynder gave her chest a few looks as well as her aft. "Yeah, still one good looking girl. Oh yeah, Spyro is definitely be fainting when he checks out this bod." She said chuckling to herself, but then remembered something very important and her optics widen. "Oh, no… I forgot about my cloak that hides me which means…" Cynder trailed off.
Before sprinting out of the cave and look up to the sky to see eight silhouettes flying in the sky above her, she realized that she needs prepare for a fight and decided to use her Shadow Streak to hide in the shadows of a nearby tree for the perfect cover.
Meanwhile back at the Autobots base, Ratchet who was listing to Spyro's request with the Autobots present.
"You want to know if we can find your friend?" Ratchet asked.
"Yes, grouchy. She's out there somewhere probably hiding from these Decepticons." Spyro said.
"I cannot get a signal on any other Cybertronians, but I do not see -" Ratchet was saying before Spyro snarled and grabbed him by the throat his eyes turned into slits
"I said find her, so find her!" Spyro said angrily.
"Spyro calm down." Optimus said putting a hand on his arm
Spyro breathed as his eyes turned back to normal and dropped Ratchet.
"Sorry I -I don't know what came over me." Spyro said as he sat down on a nearby crate.
"I understand, your concern for her is so high to the point you'd do anything to find her." Optimus said.
"If you don't mind, why are you in such hurry to find her?" Bumblebee asked, this caused Spyro to sigh a bit.
"Because… she was once slaved to another with no control over action's till I freed her and the fact we're possibly the last of our kind to exist." Spyro explained.
"So she's your Sparkmate?" Bumblebee asked, at first Spyro didn't understand, but he quickly caught on.
"No, no, nothing like… Okay, something like that, though I haven't confessed my feeling for her yet." Spyro said with a slight blush.
"Well can't exactly say I know how you feel." Bumblebee said.
"Really? What about you and Arcee?" Spyro said
"What, me and Cee?! Ha, she's like a sister to me. Besides, I think she has feelings for a certain Triplechanger we know." Bumblebee said chuckling, before being slapped on the chest piece.
"Shut up, Bee." Arcee said with a slight blush of her own.
Spyro looked thinking about his best friend and brother that he left behind, he can only hope that Sparx is doing alright and is handling his disappearance well enough not to start freaking out about it.
"Hey, what's wrong big guy?" Bulkhead asked.
"Just… thinking about someone I consider a brother is all." Spyro replied.
"I hear ya… I sometimes wonder how my old teammates are doing now these days and what they're doing now." Bulkhead said remembering his time with the Wreckers, they all than hear the computer go off.
"Aha! I believe I found her!" Ratchet exclaimed, Spyro stood at this and ran over to him.
"Are you sure, Ratchet?" Spyro asked, Ratchet turned to him and nodded.
"Positive, for you said that like you she's also a neutral. Well I've picked up that signal." Ratchet finished before pointing to the screen.
"Wait… Didn't you say that's how you found me, wouldn't that mean that…" Spyro trailed off.
"That the Decepticons have as well. Ratchet, activate the Groundbridge to that location." Optimus ordered, Ratchet quickly input the coordinates and activated the Groundbridge. "Autobots, Roll out!" Optimus called out before they all ran through the bridge before it closed.
Meanwhile, Megatron and Starscream with six elite Seekers have arrived at the location where the Predacon signal was located, the Drones looked around blasters out as Megatron and Starscream stayed put and watched.
"Predacon's, is a rather a big deal with an inspection right, J-8E?" One Vehicon said turning to look at another one but didn't see anyone "J?" He said before he knew it, a large streak of shadows flew at him and before he could react it had consumed him, and the slight sound of metal being teared apart can be heard if one listened close enough.
With Megatron and Starscream, they stood still as they waited for their troops to find anything.
"What is taking them so long?!" Starscream said impatiently as he tapped he stiletto heel on the ground.
"Hmm, Seekers report!" Megatron ordered over the comm, only to receive static from all ends. "It would seem that the Predacon as taken out all the Seekers we've brought, and silently I might add." Megatron finished, this both surprised and scared Starscream.
"What! How is that possible!?" Starscream exclaimed.
A head fell in between them, it turned out to be one of the elite Seekers they brought with them. This caused Starscream to gasp in horror and for Megatron rias an eyebrow.
"Impressive, truly you know the art of stealth young femme." Megatron said, and before their very optics the very mas of shadows appeared before them before raising to Starscreams height before peeling away to reveal Cynder in all her glory.
"Glad to know I can impress someone as persistent as you two." Cynder said, as both Megatron and Starscream recognize that voice.
"Y-You're that Predacon?! How is this possible?!" Starscream exclaimed.
"Let's just say I'm special." Cynder said before she shot black flames at them from her right servo, this caused Starscream to jump to the side while Megatron simply pointed his fusion cannon and fired in return.
The collision of the Black Fire and Energon bolt caused a small explosion, Megatron then deployed a blade from his right gauntlet and charged Cynder. Who converted her two servos into a pair of long dagger like blades that seems to glow with a sickly green color before charging in as well. As Megatron's blade made contact with her blades, a hiss was heard as her blades burned right through his weapon like acid, Megatron quickly sent a solid kick to her midframe sending her flying. Cynder quickly landed with the grace of a cat landing on her pads, while Megatron looked at his slightly melted weapon with a look of amazement.
"Acidic blades meant to melt through anything. Quite impressive, you are indeed full of surprises." Megatron said with a sinister grin.
Megatron was then met with a blast of water to the face before he got kicked and flew past Starscream and flew into a rock wall, Starscream is shocked first before he turned his attention to the one that sent Megatron flying. To his surprise and Cynder's relief, the one that did the deed is Spyro with his left paw like ped raised in the air while the Autobots are behind him with their weapons out. Megatron walked out of the rock wall he was kicked into too see the same thing.
"Well, well. Not only do I find the femme Predacon, but the mech one with the Autobots as well." Megatron said before Starscream ran to him.
"Master, we must retreat! You're in no condition to continue with your weapon as it is." Starscream said, Megatron didn't like it but his second in command is right.
"We'll meet again." Megatron said ominously before he jumped into the and transformed into his Cybertronian jet form with Starscream turning into an Earth based jet and flew off into the sky at a high speed.
Spyro turned and got tackled by Cynder, thankfully he managed to maintain his balance and noticed that Cynder is hugging him the best she could, given his new height, Spyro returned the hug and held her.
"I'm glad you're okay, Cynder." Spyro whispered in her ear, Cynder only hugged a little tighter as a result.
"So am I, Spyro." Cynder whispered back before she let go and Spyro put her down on her peds and had a good look at her, and he had to say that she's really attractive in this form.
"You look so beautiful." Spyro said with a small smile.
"And you're so handsome… and tall." Cynder said as she did the same, taking in every detail of the one she loved.
"If you're going to make out go ahead." Bumblebee said catching their attention and then they blushed as they had forgotten about their current audience, Spyro coughed into his servo before straightening himself.
"Right, sorry everyone. Got caught up in the moment." Spyro said.
"Spyro do you mind introducing to them?" Cynder asked, causing Spyro to laugh slightly.
"Of course, Cynder. The blue one over there is Arcee, the big green guy is Bulkhead, the one in yellow-n-black in Bumblebee, and lastly Optimus Prime their leader." Spyro said as he introduced them. "Everyone, this is Cynder." Spyro finished.
"Yo." Bulkhead greeted with a salute.
"Looks like I'm no longer the only femme around here." Arcee said with a smirk.
"Nice to meet, ya." Bumblebee said with a wave.
"It is fortunate that we arrived when we did, young Cynder." Optimus said.
"That and plus, Spyro looked like he was going to battle Unicron himself to find ya." Bulkhead said in amusement, only for Spyro elbowed him making him cough and groan. "Jeez, I was just joking big buy." Bulkhead said.
"Regardless, I'm just glad Spyro found some friends when he did." Cynder said, before Optimus puts his two digits on the side of his helm.
"Ratchet, we found Spyro's friend." Optimus said into the comm.
"Is she alright?" Ratchet questioned.
"Indeed, old friend. She's safe and sound, we arrived before Megatron could capture her." Optimus said.
"Thank the Allspark, do you require a Groundbridge?" Ratchet said.
"In a moment Ratchet." Optimus said before turning off the comm link.
"Hey, Cynder. Out of curiosity did you happen to find any Energon like your friend here?" Arcee asked, Cynder thought about at first and realized she must be asking about those blue crystals in the cave she was staying in.
"I believe so, just over in that cave over there." Cynder replied before pointing towards said cave.
"Man, what is it with you two and already finding Energon?" Bumblebee said, Spyro just shrugs at this.
"We're just that lucky I guess." Spyro said before the Groundbridge appeared next to them.
"Optimus, I'll take Cynder to the base so she can be looked over by Ratchet before coming back to help get all the Energon." Spyro said, Optimus nodded.
"Understood, Autobots. We'll start harvesting the Energon in the cave." Optimus ordered, they all nodded before they set out to start doing their jobs of harvesting the Energon.
"Fallow me, Cynder. I need to introduce you to the last member of their team." Spyro said, Cynder nodded and they both walked through the Groundbridge.
When she got to the base Cynder could already tell Ratchet was a grumpy old grouch just by looking at him and knew that she'll have to behave while in his presents.
"Cynder, this is Ratchet, the medical officer of the Autobots." Spyro said before turning to Ratchet. "Ratchet, this is Cynder." Spyro finished.
"It's a pleaser to meet you." Cynder said politely, Ratchet has to say that she's well-mannered in comparison to other Cybertronians he's had the displeasure of knowing.
"Likewise, now fallow me. I need to make sure your in working order." Ratchet said before walking away with Cynder looking to Spyro.
"He just needs to make sure you're alright, go on I'll be back after I've seen to helping the others." Spyro reassured.
Cynder smiled before walking after Ratchet, though she decided to tease him a bit by swaying her hips while she did, it had the desired affect causing Spyro to stare before shaking his helm and smile, Spyro then walked through the Groundbridge to assist the Autobots with collecting the Energon.
"And you haven't gotten with that, because?" Bumblebee asked him, Spyro didn't understand what he meant.
"I do not fallow, Bumblebee?" Spyro said, this caused the yellow mech to shake his head.
"I meant Cynder, she's they very definition of beautiful and yet you have yet to as the humans would say 'tie the knot'?" Bumblebee explained, this caused Spyro to blush slightly, before sighing.
"Bumblebee, you have to understand that the world we're from was almost destroyed, we didn't have time for ourselves while trying to save it." Spyro said.
"Yeah, but if you don't I might." Bumblebee said laughing.
Spyro snarled as his optics turned to slits again, this caused Bumblebee to raise his arms up in surrender.
"It was a joke. Man you're really protective of her aren't you." Bumblebee said, causing Spyro to take deep breath, making his optics turn back to normal.
"Sorry, Bee. We've been through a allot together, and I've had to take out my corrupted predecessor to make sure we even had a future, and now I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to tell her how I feel about her." Spyro explained while they started to harvest the Energon in the cave.
"Wait… you had to snuff out you're predecessor?" Bumblebee asked while he worked.
"I'm not proud of it but needed to be done." Spyro said before he is able to tear a large chunk of Energon and started to head back to the currently opened Groundbridge, leaving Bumblebee with more questions than answers.
Meanwhile Cynder is laying on the same birth that Spyro was on before as she watched Ratchet poke her with a needle to collect some Energon from her.
"I'm surprised that you aren't growling at the sight of a needle, like your friend did earlier." Ratchet commented, Cynder shrugged her head at this.
"I've been calmer and more collected than he is, always have been." Cynder said.
"Perhaps your new instincts are kicking in as his hormone levels and yours suggest you possibly wish to mate with each other." Ratchet said as she explained to him earlier what they used to be before they arrived, this caused her to blush a bit before she sighed.
"I won't lie… When he freed me from being controlled by the Dark Master, and went after me when I ran away from my own guilt and shame of what I did during that time… the compassion he showed me, and seeing me for who I am then who I was… I couldn't help but start to develop feelings for him, and they continued to grow." Cynder explained, Ratchet nodded as he continued to draw Energon from her.
"But you're unsure if he has the same feelings?" Ratchet said as he finished drawing out some Energon.
"Yeah, I don't even know how I can even tell him either." Cynder finished, this caused Ratchet to shake his helm at this.
"Honestly, you two are so much in love that neither of you can see it." Ratchet said getting Cynder's attention.
"Really?" Cynder asked with hope in her voice.
"Yes, I know it, they know, even your bodies know it before you all did. It seems like your new Predacon instincts are greater than your previous ones as it seems like they're pushing for you two to mate." Ratchet said causing Cynder to blush.
"I… suppose I should tell him before it's too late." Cynder said.
As Ratchet looked at the Energon that he's extracted from her and gasped at he sees, getting her attention.
"What is it, Ratchet?" Cynder asked, though he didn't respawned as he stared at was considered nonexistent, Dark Energon.
"What did you consume earlier?" Ratchet asked with trepidation, Cynder raised a delicate metallic eyebrow.
"Um, I believe it was called Dark Energon, why?" Cynder answered.
Ratchet backed away from her, this caused her to sit up on the birth looking a bit worried for Ratchet.
"Ratchet? Is something wrong?" Cynder asked, Ratchet then brought his two digits to the side of his helm.
"Optimus return to base immediately! We have a situation!" Ratchet said into the comm link.
"What is it old friend?" Optimus replied back.
"Cynder is infected with Dark Energon!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"Is she acting differently than what Spyro described?" Optimus questioned, Ratchet thought about it for a moment and realized that she isn't, while Cynder watched and hoped nothing bad happens.
"No… But that's not the point, if she's infected with it and if that's the case—" Ratchet said.
"Then there's nothing to worry about, Ratchet. If she's acting normally, than that means Megatron isn't able to control her through it or gain anything from her mind." Optimus said, this caused Ratchet to cease in his rambling as he understood what Optimus was getting at and sighed at his paranoia.
"Understood, Ratchet out." Ratchet said before getting of the comm and returned his attention to Cynder. "I'm… sorry for my outburst." Ratchet apologized, Cynder just shrugged at this.
"It's fine, I've received worse than that. Though if you don't mind, why did you freak out like that?" Cynder said.
"Megatron injected himself with Dark Energon and once used it to raise Cybertron's dead." Ratchet said, shocking Cynder though from the looks of it wasn't over yet. "To make it worse, that was from the dead that was on this planet, he's real end game is the dead on Cybertron itself." Ratchet finished, Cynder can only look in horror at what she's been told.
"He's planning to defile Cybertron's dead, just to bring forth an unstoppable army?" Cynder asked shakenly, Ratchet nods his helm yes.
"Yes, he has yet to put it in action, I suspect that is because of the arrival of both you and Spyro that halted that, but not for long though he knows that your both with us at the moment." Ratchet said, Cynder's shock turns to anger at what the warlord plans to do.
"When I see him again, it won't just be his sword that will be melted to slag." Cynder said heatedly, Ratchet is surprised but nonetheless is glad to know that she wouldn't dare do the same thing.
"Considering how your bodies are, I do not believe that this... this... what do animals call it?" Ratchet asked.
"Going into heat?" Cynder asked as she calmed down.
"Yes, I do not believe at the moment this, heat cycle, should effect you or Spyro too much" Ratchet said, Cynder laughed a little at this.
"Oh, Ratchet if only you knew, how it affects us." Cynder said, Ratchet raised an eyebrow at as if to say, 'what do you mean?' which she caught on to. "What I mean is you'll notice that female's will start acting very… flirty to the one they wish to mate with, and the same can be said for the male's. What's more if there's more than one that's interested in the same one, they usually end up fighting each other, sometimes to the death if their heat cycle is too strong for them too control and they get very possessive of the other and very protective of them to the point where they'll start a fight even if it's a misunderstanding." Cynder explained, this made Ratchet remember how Spyro acted earlier.
"Well, that will explain why he suddenly got aggressive when he was wanting to know if we could find you." Ratchet said, this didn't surprise Cynder as everything she said basically fits with how he'd react regarding her, Cynder chuckles
"Then does this mean that it will eventually get too much for you making you have to engage in intercourse to get relief?" Ratchet asked.
"Pretty much, though sooner I confess to him the sooner it will be over. Anyways, I'm I good to go?" Cynder said, Ratchet did a quick scan of her frame and saw that everything checks out.
"Yes, your free to go and do whatever you want." Ratchet said.
Before motioning to fallow him, Cynder got off the birth and fallowed him out of med bay, to see the sight of Spyro walking in with the last of the Energon before putting it down, and Cynder has to admit that the display of strength he showed impressed her. Ratchet went and shut down the Ground bridge as they basically finished harvesting the Energon at the cave, Spyro went to Optimus as he wanted to ask something.
"Optimus, is there a place where I can talk to Cynder in private?" Spyro questioned.
Optimus nodded before pointing to a left that would take them to the roof of the base, Spyro nodded in thanks before he went to Cynder and made a motion to fallow him and she did. They walked to the left, where it automatically activated and elevated them to the roof, once it did they were graced the sight of the moon with the stars out, showing that it is currently nighttime, even though it was daytime where they were separately. Spyro walked forwards with Cynder fallowing behind him, they stopped at the edge before they looked towards each other, they knew that they needed to say it as the time felt right to them.
"Cynder, I wanted to say something to you for a very long time now, I just didn't know how to say it." Spyro said, with Cynder nodding in return.
"Same here Spyro." Cynder said in return.
"I-" the two said at the same time trying to talk
The two looked at each other
"Spyro I-" Cynder stopped talking as Spyro gently held her chin
"Stop talking, Cynder." Spyro said as he leaned down and the two kissed, this surprised her for a moment before she closed her optics and returned the kiss.
This lasted for what seemed like an eternity before they broke the kiss and stared at each other lovingly.
"I been wanting to do that for a long time." Spyro said as Cynder placed her right server on the left side of his helm.
"As have I, does this mean that you really do love me?" Cynder asked, Spyro could only smirk before he leaned down and kissed her on the lips again briefly.
"Does that answer your question?" Spyro said, Cynder could only smile at this.
"Very much so, my purple knight." Cynder said before they embraced each other under the moonlight.
Meanwhile back inside the base, Ratchet was explaining what he found out about from Cynder, to say that Bumblebee, Arcee, and Bulkhead were shocked was an understatement.
"Wait, so Cynder has the dark stuff running through her veins?" Arcee questioned.
"Indeed, though thankfully she has no intentions of doing the same thing that Megatron's planning. However, from what I've seen we may be able to use that against Megatron." Ratchet said.
"What do you mean?" Bumblebee questioned.
"Perhaps if she can control Cybertronian undead like Megatron then perhaps she can cancel out his control." Ratchet said, this suggestion surprised everyone but Optimus.
"Are you sure that's a good idea, Ratchet?" Bulkhead asked.
"It's only in case we aren't able to stop Megatron from raising his undead army, Bulkhead." Ratchet explained further.
"As much as I would like disagree. Ratchet makes a valid point, should we fail Cynder is the only one among us that can accomplish such a feet." Optimus stated.
"Okay, I can understand 'fighting fire with fire' concept, but what should we tell Raf and Miko when they show up in a few hours?" Arcee stated, reminding them of their human allies.
"We shall explain the best we can about them, for now we should focus on seeing if they will join us in our quest." Optimus stated, everyone agreed to this.
Before they heard the sound of the left coming back down, they all turned their attention to it. To their great delight, they see both Spyro and Cynder are armed locked with each other as they walked in. Said duo noticed everyone there, Spyro can see that they were talking about something of great importance.
"Is something wrong?" Spyro asked, they can all looked at each other before Optimus gave a brief explanation of what going to be happening. "I see." Spyro said calmly on the outside, on the inside he's furious about what Megatron intends to do.
"As much as I do not wish to force this upon you Cynder, but you could be our final hope should we fail to stop Megatron." Optimus said, Cynder thought about it and it made sense.
"I wouldn't mind messing with Megatron's plans. Besides, it would help to make sure I have control over my new abilities I've gain." Cynder said.
"And don't think for a moment that I'll let you fight them alone." Spyro said with a look of determination.
Cynder smiled as she looked at Spyro, who smiled back before returning their attention to the group before them.
"We will be honored if we can join your cause." Spyro said, Optimus smiles a bit at this.
"Then I welcome you to the Autobots, and to Team Prime." Optimus said before holding out his servo, Spyro walked forward and grasped hold if it and they shook their servos in agreement.
"Great Miko will freak when she meets you two." Bulkhead said, this caused both Spyro and Cynder to look at him weird.
"Who's Miko?" Spyro asked with Cynder nodding in agreement.
Their fellow Autobots realized they needed to explain more about this planet they're living on, it took a while to explain everything to them, but in the end they get the best of it and understood that they can't be seen by any of the Humans on Earth for it may cause a major panic. So their then showed to where Agent Fowler is currently resting on a gurney.
"The Decepticons did this?" Cynder asked as both her and Spyro looked at the Human on the gurney in sadness.
"He needs to kick off of the munchies." Spyro said only to receive an elbow to the stomach from Cynder.
"I can like cheeseburger!" Agent Fowler called out with an arm raised before falling back to sleep, this made both Spyro and Cynder to laugh a bit at this.
"Sparks would probably make a crazy joke." Spyro said before he got sad remembering his best friend and brother, Cynder noticed this.
"I'm sure Sparks is doing fine back home, and I'm sure once we're done here that we'll find a way back home." Cynder said, Spyro nodded in agreement to this statement.
"Your right, as always my dear." Spyro said, causing Cynder to smile before they heard someone approaching them from the side, they look and see that it is Arcee.
"I've been told to show you both to your quarters." Arcee said.
"Lead the way, Arcee." Spyro said with a gesture, and Arcee did just that and showed them to their quarters.
"Here we are, hope it's to your liking." Arcee said gesturing to a large steel door that is at least three heads taller than Spyro.
"Thank you, Arcee." Cynder said only for Arcee waved her a no big deal before leaving for her quarters for a recharge.
Spyro opened the door and they can see what appears to be a basic set up by Cybertronian standards, they went inside and closed the door and had a look around before noticing the large birth that can fit both of them. They looked at each other and smiled before Cynder gestured to it as if to say, 'shall we' and which he made motion that basically said 'we shall', they then went over to it and Spyro laid down first before Cynder joined on top and put her helm on his chest and they both fell into recharge as they knew they'll both need it for the coming day.
"Oh." Cynder said as she felt Spyro put his hands on her hips
"Sorry." Spyro said blushing
"Don't be." Cynder said as she nuzzled into his chest smiling, Spyro then smiled himself before closing his optics again and they both fell in recharge.
A few hours later at 8am they both woke up from recharge and looked at each other a smile on their face plates before they lean in and shared a brief kiss before pulling back.
"Morning, my gem." Spyro said.
"And morning to you, my purple knight." Cynder said in return before she got off him and the birth while standing up.
Spyro fallowed suit and got off the birth standing at his full height before both of them decided to go and meet up with their fellow Autobots and see what the plan is. So they left their quarters and went to the main room to see Ratchet and Optimus there, with Bumblebee, Arcee, and Bulkhead not present, they see that Ratchet seems to be doing something on what they called a computer and decided to join them.
"Morning, you two." Spyro greeted getting Optimus's attention.
"And good morning to you both as well." Optimus said in return.
"What's Ratchet doing?" Cynder asked.
"Ratchet is trying to pinpoint the location of the Decepticon Spacebridge, so we can stop Megatron's plan from coming to fruition." Optimus explained, both Spyro and Cynder nodded their helms in understanding as that is the only way to reach Cybertron with little effort.
"Let's hope you can find it, Ratchet." Spyro said, Ratchet turned to them briefly before returning to his task.
"That's the idea." Ratchet said as he continued to try and pinpoint its location, Optimus then turned to them.
"Here you two, these are for you." Optimus said before pulling out two Cybertronian data pads for them to have.
"These are the data pads you wanted to give us?" Cynder said as they both grabbed one and held them in one servo.
"Indeed, these will help in learning everything you need to know about our history and legends, and anything you don't understand you ask either of us." Optimus said, they both nodded before they both went over to some crates and both took a seat and started to read the information they have.
About seven hours later they've gotten through quite a bit of Cybertronian history and to say they were disturbed by what they've learned is an understatement, for they had no idea how bad the war was for Cybertron and how it truly began. Now they do, and their more determined than ever to help the Autobots cause than ever before.
"This kinda makes me glad we joined them." Spyro said
"Yeah and seeing how our powers seem to be letting us do just about anything, Megatron won't stand a chance." Cynder said, Spyro nodded his helm in agreement.
For as it stands they have tipped the balance of power in favor of the Autobots, just then they hear the sounds of two engines and turn to both Bumblebee and Bulkhead returning to base. They both stop before opening their doors to let out what appears a couple of Human youths that look to be no more than cubs to their optics. The first is female that looks to be around fifteen wearing what looks like a punk style outfit, with slight tan skin, a pair of brown eyes, and black hair with pink strips and two small pig tails on the top. The second is a young male that appears to be around 12 or so, he's wearing a long sleeve light tan shirt with the sleeves rolled back a bit with an orange no sleeve shirt over it, a pair baggy dark blue jeans, and a pair of white sneakers with some orange highlights, he has spiky light brown hair and a pair of dark brown eyes, light tan skin and a pair of red square glasses.
The two humans then noticed them and the oldest of them ran over and stood before them with a look of amazement in her eyes.
"Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you guys have some new Autobots, Bulk!" The female said in awe as the younger one fallowed suit and stood next to her.
"Yeah, and that guy's bigger than Optimus." The younger one said in the same tone.
"Um, what are they?" Spyro asked as he leaned down to look at them, as both Bumblebee and Bulkhead transformed.
"These are the Humans that we are sworn to protect in secret, the young femme is Miko and the younger male is Rafael." Optimus explained, though Cynder remembered something.
"Wait… wasn't there another Human that's supposed to be here?" Cynder asked, this caused Optimus to have a sad look.
"Unfortunately, young Jackson couldn't handle his second encounter with the Decepticons and left us, hoping to not be any more involved then he already is." Optimus explained, both Spyro and Cynder nodded their helms in understanding.
"We get that but what exactly is a human?" Spyro asked.
"Humans are the intelligent lifeforms that inhabit this world as the dominant species, however they aren't fully that there is life beyond their solar system, and thus only their world's government is aware and makes sure that our existence is kept secret from the population of this world." Optimus explained, Spyro and Cynder looked at each other and knew that their true forms can't be hidden from the rest of the humans.
"Then that means that we can't exactly be hidden in plain sight." Cynder said.
"I'm afraid so, Cynder." Optimus said with regret, though both Miko and Raf didn't know what they mean.
"Wait… have you yet to find a vehicle mode to use to hide with?" Raf asked.
"Um… not exactly." Spyro said with a nervous voice.
"They are not like us Rafael, they are what is known as Predacons." Optimus said.
"What's a Predacon?" Miko asked.
"A Predacon is an ancient race of Cybertronians that went extinct many eons ago before most life began on Cybertron." Optimus explained.
"Then their like Earth's dinosaurs." Raf said in realization.
"Wow, so they were like Dinobots?" Miko asked.
"Totally different." Bulkhead said. "Think like Cybertronians who can change into mythological creatures and Dinobots, Cybertronians with dinosaur like forms" Bulkhead finished.
"Sweet!" Miko said, before they heard some beeping coming from the computer.
"Optimus, I have pinpointed the Decepticon Spacebridge, high in Earth's orbit." Ratchet said.
"Out of our reach." Optimus said.
"Okay so you guys don't fly, except for those two over there. But couldn't you gust Groundbridge there?" Miko questioned, this caused Ratchet to groan in irritation.
"The Groundbridge has limited range, stretched all the way to orbit could cause it to snape… and scatter us to the stars." Ratchet explained, causing Miko to have a face of horror at this information.
"Since Megatron could already be in transit, I'm afraid we must take this risk. Reaching the Spacebridge first is our only priority." Optimus said before they heard honking and the sound of a small engine and they all look to the entrance to see Arcee driving in with a human in toa.
She parked herself and the human got off before removing the helmet their wearing to reveal their face. The human in question looks to be around 16 or so, he's wearing a light grey long sleeve shirt with and dark grey short sleeved shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans, and a pair of dark blue sneakers with some white highlights; he has tan skin with dark raven hair and a pair of dark blue eyes.
"Hey, guess who's back?" The human said with a smile.
"Autobots, prepare for departure." Optimus said though you can see a small smile on his face plate, though his words caused the human to frown.
"Where to?" Arcee asked.
"The final frontier." Miko said cryptically, the other human caught the meaning.
"Space? I thought they didn't have any way to get there?" The human said.
"They don't, really." Raf said as he joined him.
"Another one?" Cynder said
"Didn't you know? Humans multiply." Arcee said with a small smile.
"Yeah, I have a feeling not that fast." Spyro said before leaning down to meet the new human. "Hello, young one. What's your name?" Spyro asked at first the human is in awe before snapping back to reality.
"Uh, Jack?" The human now known as jack said, Spyro nodded in return.
"I'm Spyro, and this is Cynder. We're new members of the Autobots." Spyro explained.
"Nice to meet you. So be seeing you Arcee?" Jack said, Arcee just shrugs in return as Ratchet mans the Groundbridge.
"Be careful, Bee?" Raf asked to Bumblebee who kneeled down to him
"I'm a scout, Raf. I'm always careful." Bumblebee replied before standing up to join the rest of the Autobots.
"I'm so jealous!" Miko said to Bulkhead who has a stern look on his face plate.
"Don't even think about fallowing me!" Bulkhead said in a very stern voice before joining everyone ells.
"Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teaming with Humans, I will never forgive you." Ratchet said.
"Until we meet again, old friend." Optimus said with a brief smile of amusement at Ratchet's words before activating his face guard.
"We're ready, Optimus." Spyro said with a determined expression.
And before he knew it, the front piece of his shin guard extended upwards fallowed be two pieces from the sides of his helm forming a face guard of his own and a pure golden visor snapped over his optics as well, the face guard looks like there's some purple marking that are shaped like fangs on it as well. This of course surprised Spyro at first before he put in the back of his mind for a later date, though Cynder will admit that he looks quite fearsome with it on.
The Groundbridge opens up to the coordinates of the Space bridge, or least as safely close as it can be.
"Autobots, roll out!" Optimus said as they transformed and drove through the bridge, while Spyro and Cynder ran as fast as them through it, as they traveled through it. "Maximum overdrive!" Optimus called and they speed up as fast as they could.
Meanwhile in space the Groundbridge opened up and the Autobots came flying through it.
"Autobots, transform and gravitas!" Optimus ordered and all but Spyro and Cynder transformed as they floated to a large metallic ring that's surrounded by rocks that floated there, more than likely the Spacebridge.
They all approached the Spacebridge and activated their gravity boots, as they got close enough blue electricity shot out of their peds and magnetized them to the ring, though Bulkhead had a little trouble balancing himself.
"W-Whoa… Don't look down, or up, or left." Bulkhead said to himself, this caused Cynder to chuckle a bit at the poor guy before they turned to see a giant ship coming to them before it stopped a good distance away from them.
"So Megatron's packing enough Dark Energon to raise Cybertron's dead?" Arcee questioned.
"And sense we don't have any ready means of disabling the Spacebridge…" Optimus trailed off before activating his blasters. "…Nothing gets in, or out." Optimus finished.
As everyone activated their own blasters, with both Cynder and Spyro observing how they did it before attempting it themselves. They nod to each other and did the same, as they learned how they do it from reading the Data Pads they received. Cynder went first and hers is a slightly large cannon with what looks like a mixture of a sickly green, a blood red, a pale white, and a black, purple lights on them. While Spyro's is similar to Optimus's except it's a bit bigger and it has a fame red, an electric yellow, an icy blue, and an earthly green lights on them. They both had them pointed at the warship as they awaited for anything, during that time Megatron sees them on the monitor and can only chuckle at this.
"Optimus Prime, and he's brought the two Predacons with him. Hehe, he never disappoints." Megatron commented before looking at Starscream with a slight scowl. "Unlike you, Starscream!" Megatron said with suppressed anger at his second in command who gasped nervously.
"Nothing to worry about, master. Soundwave is locking on to Cybertron's coordinates… by my instructions." Starscream said to try and reassure him, who just ignores him.
Spyro walked forward in front of the group and began moving around before finally flipping the Nemesis off.
"What are you doing?" Arcee asked.
"Testing the flames." Spyro said.
"Hmm, why aren't they doing anything?" Cynder asked only for nothing to happen so he stopped what he was doing.
"What's going on, they should have attacked by now?" Spyro said before Optimus noticed something.
"It appears that the Decepticons have suffered serious damage to their inter stellar navigation system." Optimus pointed out and this caused Bulkhead to remember something.
"Huh, that's my handywork." Bulkhead said.
"Great job, Bulkhead. Without the dish, Megatron won't be able to target Cybertron." Optimus said.
"Don't the cons know where their home planet is?" Raf said over the comm link.
"Naturally. But Cybertron is many light years away, to reach it they're aim must be astronomically precise." Ratchet pointed out, this caused Cynder to think about.
"If Megatron went through the trouble of Rendezvousing with his Spacebridge, wouldn't that mean they have alternate targeting system?" Cynder questioned.
"Indeed, Cynder. It must be a remote one." Optimus finished, they can hear Ratchet scoff over the comm link.
"What I know of Earth technology, there isn't a single dish powerful enough to pinpoint Cybertron." Ratchet said.
"What about whole link set of telescope dish's, like the giant size array in Texas?"Raf suggested.
"It's a state." Bumblebee explained to Spyro and Cynder who looked confused at what Raf was talking about.
"Zip, up, up! This is not child's play! Ratchet dismissed.
"Good thinking, Raf." Optimus praised. "Ratchet, have Agent Fowler alert the security staff of the security threat." Optimus ordered only to hear nothing for a moment.
"… That may be a challenge." Ratchet said.
"I can't get past the arrays firewalls, there to thick!" Raf said as it sound like he tried to get access to them.
"You… think you can keep the Decepticons out?" Ratchet questioned.
"Maybe… if I can get in." Raf said.
"Wait, wait, Raf… What if get you in, like inside the building in?" Jack suggested.
"I can log in on the other side of the firewall!" Raf said as he caught on though this idea concerned both Spyro and Optimus.
"That's too dangerous, Raf!" Spyro said.
"Indeed, for the Decepticons could already be there, perhaps even on sight." Optimus said.
"Optimus, you said it yourself. This is more than the safety of two humans." Jack replied back.
"Yeah, if we let the cons win, we're fragged! A long everyone ells on our planet!" Miko said, though Cynder didn't like the word she used.
"Ooh ho, when we get back, Miko. You're going to get a stern talking from me!" Cynder said, though they couldn't see it they can feel Miko flinch from her words.
"Raf?" Optimus asked, it was silent for a moment before Raf spoke up again.
"I want to give it a shot!" Raf said, this made them worry but as Jack stated it's not just their safety at risk, they then noticed a large group of Seekers dispatched from the warship.
"Here comes the welcoming committee!" Bulkhead called out as they prepared for what's to come.
"Alright!" Spyro said before he pointed his blasters and started fire gold Energon bolts at the incoming Seekers.
They all started to fire on the incoming Seekers, and they were able to shoot down a few before they got close enough to transform and try to engage them in close range, only for the Autobots to either to keep shooting or deploy their melee weapons and either smash them or cut them to pieces. Spyro clapped his hands making many of them drop onto the side the Spacebridge as they suddenly weighed a more than normal before they've been hit by a glob of pure acid that melted their frames to slag by Cynder. A Seeker landed behind Spyro, only for him to turn his right servo into a long blade that glowing a bright red-orange before twisting around and sliced through the Seeker and cutting it in half. Spyro then stabbed it into the spacebridge as electricity flowed through the metal and electrocuted a group
Cynder whipped one around to him and the two tore it in half, the seekers Energon getting all over them, and they continued their combination attack as they either blasted or sliced any unfortunate Seeker to get close to them. Optimus noticed this and couldn't help but picture that being both Megatron and himself working in such tandem, he had hoped for something like this during his days as the archivist but alas it was never meant to be as he continued his own combination of blaster and sword techniques to fend of the Seekers as they kept coming. However they then felt the Spacebridge starting to shift position and they stopped for a moment to make sure they didn't lose their balance.
"Whoa!" Bulkhead said as he almost lost his balance.
"What just happened?" Arcee questioned.
"The Decepticons are locking on to Cybertron!" Optimus said before they resumed their battle.
Spyro shot another Seeker as Cynder sliced another one in halve as they stood next to each other.
"There's no end to them! This is like Malefor's Army, only on a different scale!" Spyro said before having to stab a Seeker that was behind Cynder as she shot another acid round at another attempting to do the same to him.
"No kidding! At least they were easy to deal with, these guys are just too persistent for their own good!" Cynder said as they continued to cover the other.
"At least they go down easy." Spyro said, as they resuming the fight, and this continued for about a few minutes before they felt the Spacebridge start to move itself back to its original position.
"Raf did it!" Bumblebee shouted in glee as Optimus punched another Seeker down knocking it out.
"Indeed, Bumblebee. This can only be Raf's doing." Optimus said before having to blast another Seeker out of the air.
And this went one for good amount of time, as the Spacebridge kept going back and forth as it tries to lock onto Cybertron, only for Raf to keep undoing it every time, till for some reason it moved into position for Cybertron and activated right behind the Autobots.
"Oh no." Spyro said as sees this.
Everyone noticed Megatron standing on his ship holding the giant chunk of Dark Energon, they then watched as he threw the massive chunk towards the portal. Optimus noticed this and tried to shoot it down only for each shot to miss its mark, even Spyro has his sights on it and tried his best only for him to have the same results, everyone could only watch as the large chunk of Dark Energon passed through the Spacebridge. Both Optimus and Spyro narrowed their optics as they knew they failed in stopping Megatron's planes, during that time, both Cynder and Megatron can feel the presence of the undead army through their connection with the Dark Energon. Megatron's optics turned a bright purple with some of his armor doing the same, Cynder's purple marking can be seen doing the same and her optics are doing the same thing as Megatron's.
"ARAISE MY LEGIONS!" Megatron called out.
While the Autobots just stood there, knowing that they now need a new plan, and quick.
"So… how do we beat a planet full of the undead?" Bulkhead asked.
"That's a very good question, Bulk." Spyro said as he then turn to Cynder. "Cynder… do think you think you can stall them?" Spyro asked his future Sparkmate.
"I can feel the connection, I may be able to slow them down. But the problem is, I don't know how strong Megatron's control over them is." Cynder said.
"Optimus. I'm detecting a mas approaching their Spacebridge vortex. One with a peculiar energy signature." Ratchet said over the comm.
"Dark Energon." Optimus said before a thought hit him. "Ratchet, we must destroy the Spacebridge. There's enough live Energon coursing through it to achieve detonation, but we lack the firepower to ignite it." Optimus said.
"If I knew how the spacebridge was engineered I might find a technical way of accomplishing that feat." Ratchet said.
"Um… would schematics help?" Raf said, this got Spyro's attention.
"How did you get a hold of that, Raf?" Spyro asked.
"When we were at the giant size telescope dish's, I was able to download them before we were found out." Raf answered, though the last part got him worried.
"Did any of you get hurt?" Spyro asked.
"No, we're all safe and sound." Raf said, this caused Spyro to sigh in relief.
"Optimus, the Spacebridge is our only hope of ever returning to Cybertron, are you sure that its destruction is the only option?" Ratchet questioned.
"I'm afraid so." Optimus said solemnly, both Spyro and Cynder can only look on in sadness as they're friends were going to destroy their only way of getting back to their own home.
"Then by all means… let us light our darkest hour!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"Autobots, fallow Ratchet's guidance." Optimus said and Arcee, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead ran off to do what they need to, the only ones that didn't are both Spyro and Cynder. "Both of you go as well." Optimus said.
"Sorry, Optimus. But we're not leaving you here alone, we stand together." Spyro said with Cynder nodding in agreement.
"Very well, just watch yourselves around Megatron." Optimus said as they see said con fly towards them before transforming.
"Your fellow Autobots are wise Optimus. They know when to retreat." Megatron said as he landed.
"I hold no illusions about engaging your army, Megatron. But I might derail its objective, by removing its head." Optimus said as he unleashed one of his arm blades.
"I'd prefer tearing its head off." Spyro said as he dragged his claws against the metal of the bridge causing sparks before snarling, this remind Megatron about the two Predacons currently standing with Optimus.
"Which remind me, to whom I'm a speaking too?" Megatron said so he can out names to their faces.
"The names Spyro, the Purple Predacon." Spyro replied before brandishing his newly acquired heat blade.
"Mine's Cynder the Black Predacon." Cynder said before brandishing her acidic blade.
"Hehahaha! Then it highly unlikely Optimus, even if you do have these two Predacons on your side, I am infused with my armies very might!" Megatron said.
"One shall stand… One shall fall." Optimus said plainly as if to say there will only be one walking away today, this caused Megatron to narrow his optics before unsheathing his hidden blade and charge in with a battle cry.
Spyro snarled as he charged and right before reaching Megatron he reverted his blade back into his clawed servo and got his arms around Megatron before flipping and then tosses him, Megatron gets up in a slight daze shaking his before taking a knee to ready himself, Spyro chuckled as he cracked his knuckles.
"Come on!" He said before he charged at him with his heat blade redeployed.
Megatron could only grin savagely at this, for it has been quite some time sense he last faced an opponent that can stand up to him like this and stood up and this time he was ready as they then started to clash blades in a show of sparks and finance that surprised Optimus, foe how is Spyro able to hold his own against Megatron of all Cybertronians that has spent a great deal in the Pits of Kaon! They clashed their blades again and they started a power struggle.
"Argh! I have to admit… you're quite skilled for one so young!" Megatron grunted as he struggled against Spyro.
"Well… argh… let's say I had my share of… battles, Megatron." Spyro grunted back as they continued their power struggle.
Spyro then head butted him making him stagger backwards before he got blasted by Spyro's cannons sending him sliding across the spacebridge,
"You are enjoying this." Optimus said.
"Dragons love to battle. And this new me is loving it even more." Spyro said.
"Probably not as much as I am watching." Cynder said, this caused Spyro to chuckle a bit before dodging a swing from Megatron and reengaged in their sword fight.
"Cynder, now would be the time to try and gain control of Megatron's army." Optimus said as he prepared to join Spyro in his battle with Megatron.
Cynder nodded before looking towards the Spacebridge to see the massive undead army coming through and closed her optics and started to channel the Dark Energon coursing through her body. Then she felt it and opened her optics and for them to be releasing a slight purple mist with her white marking now glowing a light purple, she then lifted her right servo and mad a stop sign.
"Legions of Unicron, heed my command and halt!" Cynder commanded, the undead inside the Spacebridge did as they were told and halted their approach, Megatron saw this and growled.
"No!" Megatron exclaimed in anger before aiming at her with his fusion cannon, only for Spyro grabbed the arm and squeezed the cannon disabling it, before swinging him around threw him further away from her.
"Never… Never, even thinking about harming her!" Spyro roared before he then transformed into his beast mode and charge in like a raging bull!
Megatron didn't get a chance to recover before being rammed by Spyro and said Predacon then grabbed him with his jaws and started to shake his head back and forth like a dog with its bone. Megatron then got flung and landed rather harshly.
Megatron hacked up some Energon onto the spacebridge, before he got back up and he then has a good look at Spyro's beast form, who's crouched low like cat growling angerly, Megatron has to admit that this bot has quite the intimidating form. Optimus could only look on as Spyro's beast mode looks ready to tear Megatron limb from limb and then some, he takes in every detail of this form and has to say that it seems to fit him very well.
"Master?" Starscream said over the comms.
"Starscream, what is it?!" Megatron exclaimed in anger at what has been happening so for and didn't want to hear any bad news that will hinder him further than he already is.
"I don't wish to question your all seeing wisdom. But I believe the Autobots are up to something again, beneath your bridge this time." Starscream reported, if Megatron was angry before, he's now furious as the scowl on his face plat is any indicator before calming himself before chuckling at was going on.
"Ah… Misdirection Optimus, you would have made a fine Decepticon! And you, cleaver in using the femme's ability to control my army and having them stop mid transport!" Megatron said with savage grin.
"I chose my side!" Optimus replied as he stood ready in case Megatron tried something towards Cynder.
"And what can I say? I love to screw the plan people like you cook up." Spyro replied.
"But we will continue this later, Optimus… Spyro." Megatron finished before he jumped and transformed and took off with Spyro trying to shoot him down, but Megatron is just too fast for him to hit, Spyro growled as he missed him.
As Megatron flew around the Spacebridge to stop the rest of the Autobots, he decided to see how strong the one called 'Cynder' control over his army is and started to send out a stronger will than he used before. Cynder felt this and put more effort into her current control over them, though she felt Megatron's will seems to have a higher power than hers, she tried to put more effort into it and noticed that they are now even in terms of control. Megatron noticed this as well and had to say that the femme is good for a beginner, however he then noticed his targets and started to fire upon them and they tried to do the same only for their efforts meet failure, especially sense he was able to get a good hit on the blue femme. Feeling a sense of victory he flew back to the opening of the Spacebridge, while pouring all of his will power into regaining control of his army, which succeeded.
"Forwards my legion!" Megatron ordered and they listened to him and advanced. "Starscream, my army approaches! Rendezvous at the Spacebridge for pick up!" Megatron ordered.
During this time Megatron didn't noticed the chain reaction from the Autobots sabotage, as small blue explosions started to happen all over it. Though the Autobots knew this as they started to run to where their Groundbridge was last open, and Spyro maintained his beast form to give him an extra boost, Cynder fallowing suit as they all ran as fast as they could.
"Optimus, the Groundbridge ready and waiting!" Ratchet called out over the comms.
"Autobots, jump!" Optimus ordered as he did himself as the Groundbridge appeared as he fell through with Spyro and Cynder fallowing behind him as they transformed while they had jumped, with the other's fallowing behind them.
Bumblebee grabbed Arcee before going through the Groundbridge, while Megatron flew in front of the Spacebridge and transformed as he watched his army approach in it before he turned around and noticed that his warship is nowhere to be see.
"Starscream, where is my ship?!" Megatron exclaimed.
"We would never make it, Lord Megatron! Don't be a fool! Take flight and retreat!" Starscream pleaded over the comm, though Megatron ignored the cowards words and returned his attention to his army as they are almost through the bridge.
"My legion." Megatron said in awe as they were almost through before he noticed the explosions taking place. "NO!" Megatron exclaimed before reaching forward and tried to grab hold of the nearest undead solder, only for the Spacebridge to explode with him an ground zero.
During the time, the Decepticon warship can be seen moving away from the exploding Space bridge. And the bridge the Decepticons are all gathered as they listened to their second in command.
"Decepticons, it is with deep sorrow that I note for the log, Megatron's spark has been extinguished... All hail, Starscream" Starscream said with a sinister smirk on his face plate.
Meanwhile at the Autobot base, ratchet and the three humans and a recovered Agent Fowler awaited for their friends return through the Groundbridge that is still open.
"Do you… think they're?" Raf asked, Ratchet looked at a monitor on his right arm.
"Six life signals… though one very faint." Ratchet said in worry, before they watched as Optimus came through before he moved aside to allow the others to come through.
Spyro and Cynder came through and went to stand next to Optimus before Bulkhead came through causing Miko to smile and ran towards him.
"Bulkhead!" Miko called as she ran to him and he lowered his left servo, then they see Bumblebee came running through with Arcee in his arms, looking pretty damaged.
Jack ran over to her and stood there in sadness as both Miko and Raf stood next to him to counsel him.
"We lost one this week, by the Allspark don't let be two." Ratchet prayed, this surprised both Spyro and Cynder that didn't know about that and hoped Arcee doesn't join their recently deceased comrade.
Jack then placed his right hand on Arcee's and suddenly she seem to wake up, much to everyone's relief and delight.
"Arcee." Jack said sadly.
"Jack, really? There are other motorcycles in the world." Arcee said with a slight smile.
"But your my first." Jack replied.
"Whoa." Spyro said as he covered Raf's ears in a joking matter, this made both Jack and Arcee to look at them weird before they caught on and started to laugh a bit.
"Not like that, Spyro. It just means she's the first motorcycle that I've ever had." Jack explained. "Plus, Raf already knows this stuff, mostly because he's in the same year as me and Miko." Jack finished, Spyro uncovered Raf's ears.
"Normally after a mission, me and Spyro would go out for a flight to calm ourselves down or for fun. But I don't think we can roam around anymore." Cynder said.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid so. For if any of the humans were to see either of you in your beast mode, it may cause unnecessary panic among them." Optimus said, this gives Spyro an idea and turned to Ratchet.
"Hey, Ratchet. Is it possible to have more than two forms?" Spyro questioned, this caught the medic off guard.
"Well… it is, but you'd have to have your T-cogs gone through major upgrades, to which we don't currently have available to us." Ratchet said, this caused both Spyro and Cynder to nod in understanding.
"Hey, who knows, maybe you two are triple changers." Bumblebee said
"Triple what?" Spyro asked
"Triple changers are Cybertronians who can take more than one vehicle mode. For some, they can do it if they have enough energy but for others they must be triple changers." Optimus said.
"Well… it wouldn't hurt to have a look and see if their T-cogs do have that built in or not." Ratchet said after thinking about it, before looking to Optimus wanting to know something. "And what of Megatron?" Ratchet asked.
"Not even he can survive ground zero." Optimus said knowing that being point blank of that kind of explosion would completely Incinerate any Cybertronian to micro adams, it was then Spyro noticed Agent Fowler wide awake and while looking a little rough is still in good health, so he retracted his battle mask and approached him
"You must be Agent Fowler, I understand that your our Liaison while we're on your world?" Spyro said, Agent Fowler just nods his head yes.
"That's right, and who might you two be?" Agent Fowler asked.
"My name is Spyro, I'm a Purple Predacon." Spyro replied.
"And I'm Cynder the Black Predacon." Cynder said as she stood next to Spyro.
"Pleasure to meet you, Prime I never got to thank you all for saving me. I owe you one, we all do." Agent Fowler said as he went up the elevator, as he left Miko remembered something and went up to Optimus.
"Soo… is this the part where we say goodbye, you tell we forget we ever saw you?" Miko asked, Optimus thought about it for a moment.
"No… in fact, even if we did. The Decepticons would still target you three, and thus. You three will still remain under our watch, until we have defeated them." Optimus said.
The trio of humans smiled as their partners transformed into their vehicle modes and let them get in them, they all hoped on and they all left to drop them off and keep watch over them. As they left Optimus retracted his mouth guard and gave a small smile as he watched them leave, Spyro and Cynder could only do the same as this meant they could learn more about this world.
A few hours later, Ratchet can be seen scanning Spyro on the medical birth as Cynder watched as he scanned a certain spot on Spyro's frame.
"Scanning tickles." Spyro said as it is hard for him not to break out laughing.
"Hold still." Ratchet said as he finished up the scan. "There we go, now let's see what your T-cog has." Ratchet finished as went over to a nearby medical computer and started to have a look at the results.
While he was doing that, Spyro got off the birth and started to stretch his arms a bit from lying down on the birth, as Cynder watched him in appreciation of she sees, before shaking her helm to get rid of those thoughts for time being. A beeping sound can be heard from the medical computer and Ratchet gave a surprised gasp at he sees, this caused the two Predacons to gather around him to see what it is.
"Is something wrong, Ratchet?" Spyro asked, Ratchet shook his helm no.
"Nothing is wrong, but it appears that Bumblebee's little joke is true." Ratchet said as showed them the results. "It appears that you do indeed poses the ability to scan a vehicle form, which will make our job easier to hide on Earth." Ratchet explained, Spyro is shocked but at the same time glad to know he has a third mode available for him.
"Well… that's good at least." Spyro said with ratchet nodding in agreement.
"Now all that's left is to scan Cynder's T-cog and see if she too possess the same thing." Ratchet said
Cynder nodded in understanding and went over to the birth and laid down on it as Ratchet went over and started the scanning of T-cog as well. Spyro stood to the side and watched as Ratchet worked and waited for the same results.
"Oh! It really does tickle." Cynder said with a slight giggle as she tried not to move while Ratchet scanned her.
"Just remain still, and the faster it will go." Ratchet said as he continued his work, surprisingly it was faster than Spyro's considering she has less armor than he does.
He then finished the scan and went to the computer and started to pull up her results as well, with Cynder getting off the birth and stood next to him Spyro and waited on the results on her. It didn't take long if the beeping is any indicator and like before Ratchet pulled it up and is not surprised this time around.
"Well, like Spyro, you too have a third mode available to scan." Ratchet confirmed, this gave both Spyro and Cynder some relief as this meant they can go out into the field without having to worry about their cover.
"That's good." Cynder said happy at the news.
"Let's let Optimus know. So we can act accordingly." Ratchet said, and they both nodded and went to find him.
"Whoo, now we won't have to be stuck in here." Cynder cheered as they left the med bay and see Optimus at the main computer as he seems to be doing something on it before noticing their presents.
"Optimus, I've just confirmed that they do in fact have Triplechanger technology in their T-cogs." Ratchet reported, Optimus nodded.
"Understood, we'll have Agent Fowler secure some vehicles for them to scan." Optimus said before addressing the two Predacons. "For now get some rest, you'll be needing in the morning." Optimus finished, both Spyro and Cynder nodded in agreement.
"Understood, Optimus. Come on, Cynder, let's get some rest." Spyro said and wrapped his arm around her and led her to their quarters.
Before he smirked as he picked her up causing her to squeal as he carried her bridal style, Cynder then wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her to their quarters. It didn't take long for him to reach it and Cynder unwrapped one of her arms and hit the switch that opens it up, after it opened Spyro walked in and made sure the door closed. Before he knew it Cynder leaned in and captured his lips in a passionate kiss to which he respawned to with vigor and walked over to their birth and set her down on it before getting on it himself and is now hovering over her with love showing in his optics and the same can be said for Cynder.
Spyro then kissed her some more as he laid next to her, as they made out they didn't notice that their chest plates shifted and opened to reveal a pulsing light that is their new found Sparks, for Spyro's it's a light blue mixed with gold, while Cynder's it's a light blue mixed with purple. Their Sparks shone brightly before they began to reach out to each other with wisps of energy that connected and then they felted everything they've experienced, their emotions towards each other, and more. However, some of that energy then flowed from their connection to Cynder's abdomen and seems to glow a brief moment of a good mixture of both their Sparks, before the energy stopped flowing between them and their chest plates closed while the glow coming from Cynder's abdomen stopped and they separated breaking the kiss and panted heavily from what just happened.
"Whoa." Cynder said as she tried to get her breathing under control, even though they didn't intercourse she still felt like she fought Malefor's army two times over.
"Yeah, whoa." Spyro agreed as he felt more exhausted than when he battled Malefor and repaired their old world and created the portal the led them here, they then cuddled up and fell into recharge, not knowing of something beautiful beginning inside of Cynder.
A few hours later, they both woke up from their recharge and greeted each other the same way they did the other day with a light kiss before getting of their birth and left for the command center.
"Someone looks happy." Arcee said seeing the smiles on their faces, the couple could only smile even brighter at this comment and Cynder leaned into Spyro's side and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Let's just say… we had a very good night and leave it at that." Cynder said with a content sigh.
"So you interfaced?" Bulkhead asked bluntly, of course they were confused at first before they remembered what happened last night.
"If you mean that we somehow gained the ability to feel each other's emotions and able to see what the other remembers, I guess so?" Spyro said as he recalled what happened during that moment, Ratchet heard this and can only shake his head at this for that meant that they'll be possibly having another mouth to feed in the future.
"Ugh… I'll have a look at Cynder later and see if we should be expecting a new arrival in the future." Ratchet said, this made sense to Cynder as she placed a servo on her abdomen wondering what their child will look like.
"While I'm glad that you two have bonded, for now we're expecting Agent Fowler to give us the coordinates of where he is with the vehicles that you both will be scanning for your third mode." Optimus said.
"Doesn't mean we can't congratulate them for being as the Humans would say married later?" Bumblebee questioned.
"Indeed, Bumblebee." Optimus agreed.
As he remembered when he did the same with Elita-1 during the war for Cybertron many eons ago, though he had to convince her to leave with a small squad of Autobots to guard her and their unborn Sparkling. Even now, he wonders how their doing and what does his little one look like and who do they take after the most, he hopes to find out one day.
"Congratulations on becoming Sparkmates." Bumblebee said happily and the newly wed Sparkmates could only smile at his congratulations.
"Thanks, Bee." Spyro said, before Arcee noticed what time it was.
"Well I'd like nothing more than talk about this, but Bulkhead, Bee, and I need to get the kids." Arcee said making said guardians remember about that tidbit.
"Oh scrap, I almost forgot!" Bulkhead said before he transformed fallowed by Arcee and Bumblebee and all three drove out of the base to get their respective charges.
"Hey, Ratchet what does interface mean?" Spyro asked
"Basically another form of what is known as... what humans do." Ratchet said
It took a moment for the two to catch it when suddenly the two blushed darkly making their faces turn red.
"…Oh…" Spyro said awkwardly before shaking it off, same with Cynder as the recomposed themselves. "…We'll keep that in mind." Spyro said before they heard the screen going off, before Rachet pressed a button and a video feed of Agent Fowler is brought up.
"Morning, Prime. I have got good news, I was able to precure some vehicles for our new friends." Agent Fowler said.
"Excellent work, Agent Fowler. Please provide the exact coordinates and well meet you there." Optimus said.
"Right, sending it now." Agent Fowler said before the computer went off indicating that they received the coordinates.
"Coordinates received, Agent Fowler." Ratchet confirmed.
"Good, I'll see you soon Prime." Agent Fowler said before the video feed cut off.
"I wonder if I'll get a muscle car." Spyro said
"It does not always work like that, sometimes the vehicle choose you." Optimus said, before looking to Ratchet. "Ratchet, activate the Groundbridge." Optimus said and Ratchet did as he was told and activated the Groundbridge and Optimus fallowed by Spyro and Cynder walked through it.
They appeared in an abandoned warehouse that has many different vehicles lined up, and Agent Fowler standing there at the side.
"Hope one of these will be too you're liking." Agent Fowler said.
"Let's have a gander shall we?" Spyro said.
"We shall." Cynder said before they both separated and started to look around the collection vehicles that sat before them, while Agent Fowler noticed how they were acting and had to ask.
"Hey, Prime. Is it me, or are those two more closer than the last time I saw them?" Agent Fowler asked.
"They have recently in human terms become married and are possibly be expecting what's known as a Sparking or a child in human terms." Optimus explained this caused Agent Fowler's eyes to widen.
"Well I'll a bold eagle!" Agent Fowler said.
While this is going on Cynder found what looks to be a Cadillac dpi VR, and she has admit that it's both sleek and fast, so remembering what she learned from the data pad she activated her scanner and a light green beam shot out and started to go back and forth as she scanned it before long it was done. She then felt her armor shifting a bit to accommodate for her new form and transformed into it, though it looks the same the only difference is that it has purple highlights and the same white pattern on the hood. Spyro whistled as Cynder revved her engine to get use to the feeling, suddenly trucks rolled into the room with agent Fowler in the driver's seat.
"If you're looking for muscle, may I suggest the 1992 Peterbilt 379?" Fowler said as he gestured to the truck, but Spyro's attention however was on the Western Star 4900 EX and for some reason it felt as if it was calling out to him.
"Do not forget Agent Fowler, sometimes the vehicle chooses you." Optimus said, Agent Fowler just shrugs at this.
Spyro approached the Western Star 4900 EX and did the same thing Cynder did and scanned the truck and he then felt his armor shifting to accommodate for his new form and transformed into it. The Western Star 4900 EX he transformed into has a purple color with some orange-gold highlights and the exhaust pipes on the side are also colored orange-gold, he revved his engine and it packed quite some power from the way it almost sounded like a roar.
"Ah, yeah!" Spyro said before suddenly shooting backwards and colliding with a stack of wooden crates causing them to pile over him. "I'm okay!" Spyro called out from the pile while Cynder just giggles at what happened to her Sparkmate.
Spyro the carefully drives out of the pile of wooden crates and transformed back into robot mode, while Cynder drove up to him and transformed as well. Spyro and Cynder then walked towards Agent Fowler, who got out of the 1992 Peterbilt 379 and now stood next to Optimus as they approached, once they stood a good ten feet away from them Spyro knelt down to Agent Fowler.
"Thanks Agent Fowler, for bringing these vehicles here." Spyro said.
"It's no problem, now I have to make sure all these vehicles are returned to where they belong." Agent Fowler said.
"Would it be good time to mention, we've never driven anything in our lives?" Cynder asked
Optimus blinked as he looked at them
"See in our world we didn't exactly have what you'd call advanced technology." Spyro said, Optimus nodded in understanding.
"Understood, well cover this after we return to base." Optimus said before activating his comm link. "Ratchet, bridge us back." Optimus said before the Groundbridge opened next to them, and they walked through and returned to the base.
"I see that you two have acquired a vehicle mode now." Ratchet said as he turned off the Groundbridge.
"Yeah… though we will need… some lessons on how to drive." Spyro said, this caused Ratchet to look at him funny before realized why he asked to begin with.
"I'll let Bumblebee know when he returns with the others." Ratchet said.
"Alright, maybe we can check out this TV, he keeps talking about." Cynder said, before going over with Spyro turned on a television box that was set up for the humans whenever there here.
They turned it on and watched whatever is on as they waited for the rest of Autobots, they watched the TV for good amount of time till they hear the sounds of three familiar engines approached and they turned off the TV and turned to see Bulkhead, Arcee, and Bumblebee drive in before they stopped to let their charges out before they all transformed.
"Hey what's on?" Miko asked as they ran over to the little room they set up for the children
"Don't know. Trying to work this remote without breaking it." Spyro said as he held it in his servo. "Anyways, here we need to talk with Bee." Spyro finished before handing it to the kids, before heading over to the scout with Cynder by his side.
"Hey, Bumblebee, can you show us how to drive?" Cynder asked, Bumblebee turned to them.
"Sure, transform and I'll show you how to drive." Bumblebee said, Spyro and Cynder nodded before they did just that. "Now to go forward just put yourself in gear." Bumblebee explained.
"Alright!" Spyro said before shouting as he went backwards and accidentally hit the counsel of course this caused a bit of damage to it.
"Spyro I needed that!" Ratchet exclaimed in anger.
"Sorry, Ratchet, first time and all." Spyro apologized before moving forward a bit.
"Yeah… should have been a bit more thorough with explaining how to drive." Bumblebee said sheepishly.
"This is going to be hilarious." Bulkhead said.
"Okay you two just think of what direction you want go and watch the speed monitor on the display, it will tell you how fast you're going." Bumblebee explained and they do just that as they slowly started to move towards the exit of the base and Bee decided to transform and continue to fallow them. "Good, good. Now when we exit the base I'll teach you more on how to drive." Bumblebee said as they left.
"At least they're with, Bee." Arcee said as she knows that Bumblebee is good about fallowing the rules of the road.
A bout a few hours later they hear their engines as they drove back and rounded the corner before all three transformed.
"Man, that's going to take some getting used to." Spyro said as they walked in.
"Tell me about it." Cynder agreed.
"Though I can say that you both passed with flying colors!" Bumblebee said.
The two transformed and zipped out of the base
"Having me teach them probably wasn't smart was it?" Bumblebee said
"Eh, you did teach them all about the rules of the road, stopping at stop signs and lights right?" Arcee asked
"Oops." Bumblebee said as he knew he was forgetting something before he transformed and went after them. "Wait up guys! I forgot to teach something important!" Bumblebee called out as he gave chase, this caused everyone to laugh at Bee's blunder as they thought it to be very funny.
Though Optimus now wonders what's to come in the future ahead of them with their new members, he now has a successor to the title of Prime that be off at some point to find the Matrix of Valor and possibly the ancient ship called the Proudstar that is somewhere on this planet. Not only that, but he has to help train Unicron's version of a Prime and make sure she doesn't misuse her abilities in any shape or form like Megatron did.
For now he will take it one day at a time and do his best to teach them what they need to know for the future.
