Chapter 12

"So boy where is the lead Minicon of the Requiem Blaster?" F Megatron asked.

"I don't know"

"Insolent brat!" Scourge moved forward to slap Rad.

Starscream moved in between the boy and the Deceptacon. "Don't if you know what's good for you".

"Why you traitor" Scourge hissed.

"No, if you hurt him I doubt we will get anything useful out of him" Starscream stated simply. Turning to Rad he said " Rad tell them."

"I can't. We found him by accident. We fell through a hole in some cave when we were lost. I couldn't find it again if I tried," he said. Starscream looked into the boy's eyes and noticed they showed no emotion which usually meant the boy was lying. He didn't comment.

"Another human lover" Scourge said, disgustedly, sneering at Starscream.

"What makes you think I'm a human lover?" Starscream shoot back at Scourge.

"Your on a first name basis with the prisoner" Scourge sneered.

"So".

"Silence! You two bicker like children" F Megatron shook his head. "Back to our questions. Boy! Where is this cave?"

"I told you I was lost. There were miles of caves and tunnels" he said getting annoyed.

"Megatron, sir I think it's a reasonable guess that the cave he's talking about is near or under the Autobot base. They didn't have enough Autobots at the base to send after it, so the humans were the only ones who could retrieve it. So it had to be within walking distance" Thrust said.

Rad's eyes widened for a moment before he was able to hide it. F Megatron saw it.

"So it is near the Autobot base, out in that desert you like to call home," F Megatron laughed. "Bring him along. I'm sure that once we're out there we can find a way to persuade him to lead us to the Minicon".


"So where is this thing any way?" Hot Shot asked his future self. " He's in a cave in the High Desert" F Hot Shot said as he watched the Spychangers prepare. It had been a long time since he'd seen all of them together. Occasionally one of them would come and visit him but not all at the same time. He was currently watching Ironhide and R.E.V joking with Carlos about something. Carlos seemed to be helping them into a better mood than the one they'd been in since Wheeljack had showed up and apparently saved P Hot Shot's life despite still maintaining that he hated him for 'abandoning' him.

"How are we going to get to it?" P Hot Shot asked.

"The cave entrance we used to get into the base before we built the normal gate which right now is non-existent." As an after thought he added "Don't you love tenses and time travel"

"So how did you-- uhh-- I--we end-up with a younger brother?" P Hot Shot asked.

"You mean Sideswipe? I saved him once and he got all emotional and started calling me bro. Haven't been able to get rid of him since."

" Koji said something about a hug-a-thon" he hoped that was enough to get what he was trying to say across.

"Learn to run fast."

"Ok


"Koji—" Sky-byte started.

" Yes I'm still mad at you so go away."

Sideburn who was only a few feet away looked up at Koji. Their eyes met for a second before Sideburn turned and walked away. He'd been avoiding Koji since he'd gotten back and Koji was getting tired of it. Everyone seemed to be acting differently toward him and he wanted to know why.

"Sky-byte did something happen while I was unconscious?"

"Not that I know of. I heard them saying something about magical children and your mom being a seer though."

Koji stared at him for a minute and then ran off in the direction Sideburn had gone off in.


"So how do you think Sideburn is taking this thing with Koji being a demon" Prowl asked his older brother.

"Not well" Sideburn said from the door. He walked into the room he shared with his brothers and sat down on his recharge table. He looked at the small cot that had been left in the room incase Koji ever needed a place to sleep if his parents were out of town. He remembered waking up to Koji screaming in his sleep several times right after Dr. Onishi had been kidnapped, while the Colonel had been pushing the US military to help the Autobots. Apparently after a traumatic experience humans have dreams about the experience or bad nightmares about something related to the experience. Koji's nightmares had been about his father dying or being killed in front of him. Having to comfort Koji after each and every nightmare had given him a new respect for human parents.

"Maybe you should talk to Koji later once he recovers" Prowl suggested.

"What do you mean recovers? The knockout gas wore off hours ago" Sideburn said confused.

His brothers sighed. "T-Ai said tha' Koji knew Rad was his kid before we even had a clue. An' a few hours ago he saw his son kidnapped and was kidnapped himself. Sky-byte himself told us Rad, Koji's son, is more than likely going to be or already is being tortured. Now think back to how Koji was when his father was kidnapped" X-brawn explained to his brother. Sideburn thought for a minute.

"Oh shit" Sideburn got up and ran out the door. Koji was more than likely going through enough right now without Sideburn throwing his issues into it. He had to find Koji and talk to him. Luckily he didn't have to go far. Koji had just turned onto the barracks hallway.

"Sideburn we need to talk—" Koji started.

"I know I've been a jerk over something stupid and I'm sorry" Sideburn said.

"So in other words your brothers guilted you into coming and talking to me" Koji said.

"No they didn't … I don't think they did anyway.. No they didn't" he finished confidently. "Just no more major secrets between friends, got it?"

" Ok but there are some things you won't want to know."

"Like what?"

"Like why my clan is called the Soul Stealers" they walked back to the main room together laughing.


"Ok is everyone ready?" F Optimus asked. Since he technically had seniority over his past self they'd decided that he would be the leader on this mission.

"Hey where do we ride?" Carlos asked.

"Nowhere. There are no humans on this trip" Optimus said.

"Why not?"

"There have been enough hostages taken in the last twelve hours we don't need anymore " Optimus said. " Ok Towline and Skidz are staying here to watch the base, everyone else move out."

The four Onishis (Sono, Axel, and T-Ai were sleeping since it was way past bed time) watched them go with identical smirks.

"You'd think that he'd have learned by now to be careful what he says" F Koji said.

"What do you mean?" Alexis asked.

"He said no humans on this trip" Dr. Onishi explained. "But I think we've already determined that not all of us are human."

"Yeah but they're already gone so you can't exactly argue that point with him" she said.

"No way are you guys going with out me" Carlos spoke up.

"It isn't exactly a pleasant experience for riders" F Koji said.

"I know. You think Rad and I haven't used it occasionally when we're late for school."

"Still doesn't change that Optimus said no humans on this trip" Koji said with a smile.

"Bye" Eris said.

With that the four Onishis teleported out.

AN: yes Rad has this ability the reason he hasn't used it is because he's been too disoriented or too weak
