chapter 1
A female transformer she was running with her young son in her arms with a Decepticon in hot pursuit. She made it to an ally and looked around as she sat her son down to calm him down. "It's okay Prowl," she told him.
"Mom I'm really scared," Prowl said.
"Prowl I want you to promise me no matter what happens you will be strong and never give up," she said.
"I promise," Prowl said.
They heard something. "That Decepticon is getting closer," she said and hid Prowl. Then she was blasted by the Decepticon. She fell down badly wounded.
Prowl cried when he saw. "Where is that child she was carrying?" a Decepticon who was with the other asked.
"Who cares? It won't survive long out here," the other Decepticon said and they left.
Prowl went to his mom. "Mom, get up," Prowl said.
"I don't know if I can Prowl," she said.
"Please," Prowl said.
"I will try," she said and tried to get up but fell to the ground.
"Mom please," Prowl said.
"Dear Prowl, I want you to be strong and brave for me like you promised I know you will be a fine bot as you grow," she said.
"But I need you with me," Prowl said.
"I will always be with you Prowl even you can't see me," she said and died.
"What do you mean I can always see you," Prowl said. "Mom? Mom?" he said. "Mom," he said starting to crying. "Please wake up." he said.
Warpath was walking by when he heard something it sound like crying. He went into the ally and saw Prowl beside he dead mother. "Mom, I need you still," Prowl said crying.
"Hey there," Warpath said coming up.
Prowl jumped and backed up. "It's okay I won't hurt you," Warpath told him. He looked at the mother and saw she was dead. "She was mother wasn't she?" he asked.
Prowl nodded and started crying all over again. "Why did those Decepticons have to chase us out of our home? Why did they have to shoot her? Why?" Prowl said crying.
"I wish I had an answer for you kid but I don't, Decepticons are a sorry bunch, they don't care about anyone but themselves and don't care what problems their actions cause for others," Warpath said.
Prowl just cried and sobbed. Warpath knew Prowl needed to be cared for. But who could take care of him. "You poor little fella it's going to be okay Warpath is going to help you," Warpath said coming closer and Prowl backed away every time he got close. He figured the child must've been really frightened from the chase and even more scared with out his mother. Then he touched the child's head.
"Now we need someone to take care of you," Warpath said. Prowl snuggled close to Warpath. "Oh no not me," he said. Then he remembered his good friend Yoketron. Prowl would be safe living in his dojo. "I know just the bot to look after you," he said picking him up. He carried him to the dojo. He came in and Yoketron saw him.
"Hello Warpath what brings you here my friend?" Yoketron asked.
"He does," Warpath said and sat Prowl down on the ground in front Yoketron.
"Who is this little one?" Yoketron asked.
"He's an orphan the Decepticons killed his mother now he's all alone I couldn't just leave him out there in a war where a child could be easily killed," Warpath explained. "He needs to be cared for and have safe place to stay I know this will be a good place for him to remain protected." he said.
"You thought this out well Warpath the child will be safe here and I will do everything in my power to keep him protected from the war." Yoketron said.
"Thank you Yoketron," Warpath said. "Yoketron will take good care of you little guy," he said and left.
Prowl looked up at Yoketron. Yoketron came up to the young bot and Prowl backed up and hide in a corner. "I understand that you are frightened child." Yoketron said. "But you have nothing to fear here, I will not harm you, you will be safe with me, this dojo is a haven for me and it will be one for you," he said. "I know it's hard to lose one you love and I understand you have been through a lot today and feeling uneasy but you are safe here." he told him. "So come out of hiding it's alright to come out," he said.
Prowl looked Yoketron and wedged himself in deeper to his hiding spot. "Okay you can come out when you are ready, just remember you are safe here with me," Yoketron told him. Yoketron left the room and headed for the kitchen.
Prowl watched as Yoketron left. He stayed wedged in his hiding spot.
Yoketron started to cook some dinner and he was busy at it and made a little extra because Prowl was now here and hopefully willing to come out of hiding soon.
Prowl started to smell fresh hot meal and saw Yoketron return he sat down in front of him and sat a bowl in front Prowl's hiding space. He started to eat and watched to see if Prowl would come out. "You hungry young one?" he asked him. "I think are probably not because after what you been through today can affect ones appetite greatly," he said.
Prowl said nothing. "Young one I will do my best for you I know I cannot replace your parents but I will do what I can for you," Yoketron said. "Young one this dojo has quiet a story you see I was the first every student of this dojo." he said. Prowl looked at him as if he seemed to be listening. "My master built this dungeon millions of years ago. I remember when I first came to him I was about your age, a mad bot killed my parents and my brother and sister I was all alone he found me wandering Cybertron truly sad and alone so he took me in and to help me." he said.
Prowl was surprised Yoketron was once his age? He peeped out a bit to hear better.
"I was frightened at first and squeezed into the same hiding place you are in." Yoketron explained. "I was to afraid to come out so he just came here and talked to me and kept talking, he talked to me while he was having a meal like I am now. He talked to me when he was about to go to sleep," he said. "He talked to me so much in hopes I would open up to him. Finely after hiding for a while I came out of hiding because at last I felt safe." he said. "Young one there is so much in this universe we don't understand and so much we do and some much we are starting to understand too, I just hope things will improve for all of us," he said.
Prowl came out of his hiding place and ran up to Yoketron and hugged him and started sobbing. Yoketron started to rub Prowl's back. "Let it out young one, you are going to be safe with me and you are going to become a fine bot I know it, and I know your mother is watching you from the well of all sparks just like my mother is watching me," he told him.
Prowl soon calmed down and things were a bit more relaxed. Prowl was curious about the dojo. Yoketron decided to show him around and told him about everything. Prowl stuck to Yoketron like glue. Yoketron opened a door and showed him a bedroom. "This will be your room," he told him.
Prowl looked around his new room. "It is getting late young one time to go to recharge," Yoketron said. "What is your name child?" he asked.
"Prowl," Prowl said.
"Prowl pleasant dreams," Yoketron told him.
Prowl managed to smile and went to bed.
