Chapter 11
Eris Onishi stared at the twins who had just called her grandma. The gaze that had brought several young soldiers to their knees didn't even make the boys flinch.
"Axel and Sono right?" she asked.
"How did you know their names?" P Optimus asked.
"You think that Dad's the only one I got the powers from? Mom's a seer," Koji said.
"Hi sweetie, oh you grow up to be so handsome," Eris said to her son. Then a little less enthusiastically she said, "I'm going to have my work cut out for me aren't I?"
"My first love stuck around so not really."
"What do you two mean by that?" T-Ai said looking between her future husband and his mother.
"You think I'd let a woman marry into my family who couldn't take it. Raising magical children is. Hard you got to be willing to fight for it" Eris said matter-of-factly.
"Wait is that why Rad's mom is always mean to me?" Alexis asked.
"Actually that's more of a 'your taking her baby from her' thing. She doesn't want Rad going through the teen parent thing like we did" F Koji said.
"Owww" Koji's younger self moaned from Sky-byte's arms. "My head hurts."
Sky-byte put the boy down on his feet and then steadied him when he almost fell. Koji seemed a bit dizzy. " It's an after effect of the knockout gas" he told the Autobots, several of which were looking as though they were going to shoot him as soon as Koji moved out of the way.
"Hey where am—" he looked around then glared at Sky-byte.
"Uhh Koji we need to ask you a few questions about why Megatron had you and Rad kidnapped" Optimus said trying to avoid the oncoming fight between the boy and Predicon.
"Why don't you ask him? He knows more than I do" Koji said pointing at Sky-byte. Sky- byte looked a little uncomfortable to be the center of the Autobots attention but Koji just smiled.
"Well Sky-byte care to give us some details?" Koji said in a too sweet voice.
"But—"
" Now!" the boy said sounding just like his mother.
"This is bad. If what Sky-byte says is true then Megatron is going to go after the three most powerful Minicon team ever," F Optimus said.
"Your kidding--- he couldn't --- they wouldn't even work with us in the beginning" Sideswipe stuttered out.
"Would anyone care to enlighten us past people to the ways of the future" P Hot Shot said sarcastically.
"They're going after the Requiem Blaster" F Hot Shot.
"What! It's on Earth!" P Optimus exclaimed.
"Well it is made up of three combiner Minicons, so it really shouldn't be that big of a surprise" Carlos said. Everyone stared at him. "What?" he asked.
"Uhh…how are you speaking Japanese we only had one translator and Alexis is using it" F Optimus asked.
"As much time Rad and I spent at each others houses and you didn't think we picked up each others native language. Rad speaks almost perfect Spanish and I speak almost perfect Japanese".
"Ok, back to the Requiem Blaster. It's on earth and Megatron plans to find and use it" P Optimus said trying to get back on track.
"Yes but Skyblast and his buddies don't like fighting so he can't use it very well (like my high speed internet modem which goes down for a few hours everyday)." Sideswipe said.
"Yes he can" F Hot Shot said. "Think of how we even got them onto a battle field in the first place".
"Rad went –with him," Red Alert said. "Skyblast didn't trust us not to force him and his friends to fight. Rad promised him that he wouldn't have to fight if he didn't want to. Skyblast trusted him. When we weren't considering the Minicons feelings Rad helped them get away from the base."
"But none of that has happened yet. Why would Rad be an advantage with getting the Requiem Blaster Minicons? They don't know him yet why should they trust him?" P Hot Shot asked.
"Why did they trust him in the first place?" F Hot Shot said simply.
"Rad's one of those people you trust on sight. His eyes, you can always tell if he's sincere by his eyes" F Optimus said.
"Plus the Minicons came here originally because Rad told them to" Carlos said.
"Huh?" The past Autobot asked.
This isn't Rad's first experience with time travel. Years ago I met Rad on Cybertron. He told me to come to earth when it was time to leave Cybertron. That he'd find me there and he did.
"What is this kid a Minicon savior or something" Ultra Magnus asked.
"Savior or not the Minicons trust Rad. If Megatron manages to find the Minicons that form the Requiem Blaster he'll be able to use it. So we need to get it first," F Optimus said.
"How? They're not even all on Earth, remember?" Sideswipe asked.
"The same way we did last time. Find Skyblast and have him call the other two" F Optimus said.
Rad was lying in the same spot as he had been when the Megatrons had left. He didn't have the energy to move. He was hungry but at the moment he'd prefer a glass of water. His throat was burning. The shocks had made him lose whatever little water that was in his stomach and he hadn't drunk any thing since he'd had breakfast with his parents and that had to of been at least twelve hours ago. He wondered if Megatron just planned on letting him die of thirst or starvation which ever got him first. And Rad had a feeling that it would most likely be the more painful of the two that killed him.
Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from outside the room. Maybe Megatron was coming back to get the information he wanted. Rad didn't see why. With future Megatron here they shouldn't need Rad anymore. Future Megatron knew pretty much as much as Rad did.
When the door opened Rad saw that it wasn't either of the Megatrons it was Starscream (I know he died on Cybertron but this is AU) and Wheeljack. What they were carrying made Rad's heart skip a beat. Water!
"Told you he'd be thirsty, Wheeljack" Starscream said smirking as he watched Rad drink.
"Must be, he didn't even think to accuse us of poisoning it" Wheeljack said with no emotion.
Rad stopped at this and looked straight into Wheeljack's optics. "Poison is quicker than dehydration" he said seriously. With that he went back to drinking.
"Be careful, Megatron wants you to lead him to a few Minicons and he won't care if your sick or not. He'll make you do it either way" Starscream warned. Rad stopped drinking. This reminded him of the last thing his father said to him before he'd left that morning.
"Where's that other kid that they grabbed?" he hoped that Starscream would tell him. Starscream had been nice to the kids for the most part. He'd protected them once, at least.
"Don't know. One of the Predicons deserted and took him with him" Starscream said watching Rad's face closely.
"Sky-byte?" Rad said before he could stop himself. He knew that if Sky-byte had taken Koji then Koji was safe at least.
"The shark thing?"
"Yeah."
"How do you know it's name" Wheeljack asked feeling suspicious.
" I heard that big black Deceptacon call him that" Rad said not even hesitating. He didn't want the whole Deceptacon army knowing that he was the son of Optimus' old human friend.
Wheeljack didn't seem to believe him but didn't press the point.
"Lord Megatron wants the boy brought out now. It's time to leave" Scourge said from the door. Starscream and Wheeljack looked at him with loathing glares.
"Will bring him in a moment" Starscream said leaving no room for argument. Scourge lingered for a moment and then left.
"Does he remind either of you guys of Thrust?" Rad asked with a shiver.
"Yes" both Starscream and Wheeljack said in unison.
