Chapter Three: History Comes from the Survivors!
Talus blinked in shock as she stared at the elder TechnaFury mech in front of her, she-she couldn't believe what he had just said to her.
She was...well her ancestor...was his sparkling. His very child.
Talus' audio sensors laid down against her neck armor, and her jaw was hung a bit as she sat there in shock.
The TechnaFury mech cocked his helm as his own audio sensors rose fully erect, worry and confusion clouding his predatory features. Surely his sparkling knew whom she was.
The TechnaFury mech growled cautiously, Toorzii? Are you alright?
When he didn't get a response, he tried again, this time in that...Primus cursed language of the past Cybertronians.
"Toorzii? Are you alright?", he asked softly, and he smiled softly when he saw her blink and shake her helm a bit.
Talus looked at the TechnaFury mech in front of her as she broke out of her shocked state. She looked at him and her spark was torn in half.
One half of her mighty spark felt...so hurt and so so sorry for him. She wasn't his sparkling. And she probably never would be.
The other half, was mostly feeling tank-wrenching guilt, mixed with a good helping of fear. What would happen if she told him the truth, would he try to extinguish her spark? Would he shun her?!
She hoped not, with all of her structure she hoped not. He was the only one like her, he was the only TechnaFury she had ever seen. She wasn't the first and last of her species anymore!
She wondered what kind of things he knew. About her, about her past?! What secrets could he be keeping?! What knowledge did he have saved in his processor after so many millennium?!
She wanted to know.
No!
She needed to know!
As Talus stood there, fighting with herself. The elder TechnaFury mech took this time to look at what he thought of was his sparkling Toorzii, fully grown.
There wasn't an ounce of perversion or lust in his very processor or spark, just observation in his gaze as he looked at every detail of what he thought was his little sparkling.
Primus, she was beautiful. She would have many past TechnaFury mechs swooning over her, no doubt in his processor.
She...she looked almost just like her carrier, his mate. Oh, Primus she would have been so proud to see what one of their sparklings had grown into!
The mech smiled softly as he felt nothing but pride in his mighty, ancient spark at the beautiful TechnaFury femme, his sparkling, right in front of him.
He smiled until his optics caught something, and he frowned softly in confusion and disbelief. What in Primus' name was that?!
He backed away and he walked around his sparkling's structure...to her tailtip. One of her tailfins...did not look right.
Why was this tailfin not compacted away like the other?
What is that symbol?! What did it mean?
He gently sniffed it and his pupils became slitted as he felt a primal anger filled him so strongly it came out of his frame as a disgusted snarl, it smelled like...like the weaker Cybertronian race on the planet! The decedents of those horrible Primes!
Talus' processor snapped to attention when she heard the TechnaFury mech's snarl and she snapped her helm around to see him glaring fire at her artificial right tailfin. Fearing for the artificial tailfin she had grown accommodated to, Talus gave a small growl before she whipped her structure around and she whipped her tailtip away from the Mech TechnaFury as fast as she could.
She did not want to lose a tailfin, even an artificial one, again.
His helm snapped up to her and she saw his optics, they looked angry, no...not just angry. They were filled with hate, utter hatred and disgust.
The mech snarled as his large clawed digits dug into the metal surface of Cybertron. His denta shot out and gritted together as he felt the rage and hatred that accompanied that smell.
Talus backed away slowly, she didn't want to hurt him, but she would defend her prosthetic tailfin, it meant much to her. But she wondered why her prosthetic tailfin made him so angry?
The mech saw his grown sparkling back away from him and his anger immediately dissipated, did she think he was mad at her?
The elder TechnaFury shook his helm before he gave a small croon of apology.
He quickly followed up with, "My apologies Toorzii, I-I am not angered with you, I swear it. But...But what is that on your tailtip? Why is it there?"
Talus' audio sensors rose a bit as her optics widened a small amount, how would she explain this...Should she lie? Make up a story?
Talus' features hardened, no, no she would tell the truth. She growled out softly, It's there because without it, she could not fly.
The Mech's yellow optics widened slightly in a bit of alarm and worry for his sparkling before he asked cautiously, "How could you not fly...", his optics widened as he realized what that mean't, no, oh Primus no!
"Unless...it..was...", he couldn't finish.
Talus looked down as she growled out softly and finished his thoughts for him, Gone.
The mech's optics became saddened by this answer, his fears realized, before he asked gently, "Who...whom...", he couldn't ask it. He couldn't even fathom it, losing a limb, a tailfin none the less...Oh Primus!
Talus knew what he had meant to ask, and she just gave a single answer with a very soft growl, Unicron.
The TechnaFury mech's helm snapped up to meet her gaze as alarm filled his optics and he asked in disbelief, "U-Unicron? The Chaos Bringer? The Lord of the Undead?"
Talus nodded her helm softly and she explained with a soft grumble, Yes, Unicron himself, he came back to Cybertron to try and destroy Primus, the very core of their planet, himself. She had a hand in stopping his undead reign of destruction, unfortunately at a high cost...that was her very flight.
The TechnaFury elder looked down as he processed this before he exclaimed gently, "I-I cannot believe that demonic monster was here...I-Is that way our home is like this? A desolate wasteland?"
Talus winced a bit, how would she explain this one? She huffed softly through her muzzle before she growled out gently and explained, No...Unicron only came...after the Great War was done by Megatron's demise.
The TechnaFury mech cocked his helm in confusion before he asked gently, "Great War? Megatron? I do not understand Toorzii. Please elaborate for me."
Talus winced internally that the name of her ancestor was used to reference herself again, before she focused her thoughts and explained as best as she could with series of growls, purrs, and grumbles of the TechnaFuries, The Great War was the first and most violent outburst of fighting on the planet Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons.
It began when Megatronus, not the Prime, whom later named himself Megatron, started his initial drive to overthrow the Caste system. Megatron's noble goal of being a Prime was corrupted by his jealousy over his friend Orion Pax, who being named the next Prime, took on the name Optimus Prime.
This set the spark in the war and the Golden Age became history over time.
Fighting between the two factions lasted for several million stellar cycles, not even those who chose to be Neutral could avoid the war.
Near the end, Cybertron was a barren, lifeless wasteland, devoid of Energon, forcing Optimus Prime to enact the Great Exodus, a mass evacuation of all Cybertronians to leave their dying world and find other worlds to seek refuge.
After the War on Cybertron, Optimus Prime went with his Team to Earth where they faced another battle against the Decepticons.
The war came to a close when Megatron was killed by the Autobot scout, Bumblebee, and finally ended when the Decepticons were disbanded by a newly revived Megatron, whose body was taken over by Unicron himself.
The Autobots now live in peace with their fellow Cybertronians, Decepticons and Predacons, and have enacted the Predabots initiative, a Police force to keep all Cybertronian races safe.
Talus looked at her ancestor's sire and he looked very displeased and a bit angry at that explanation, but not once did he interrupt. He listened to her explanation until she was finished.
The TechnaFury mech looked at the desolate, burnt ground before he said a bit confused and angry, "That is troubling...But I do not understand, how much time has passed? How long was I in stasis for Toorzii?"
Talus looked at him with a bit of pity before she growled out very softly, A long time, since the beginning of all known Cybertronian history, millions of stellar cycles.
The TechnaFury's elder's very spark broke when he heard that...the Predacons...the TechnaFuries...they were all gone.
So it was true, his suspicions were confirmed, he and his sparkling were the last of their mighty species.
Wait a moment!
His optics suddenly widened when he remembered what his sparkling had explained, she had said, Autobots, Decepticons, and Predacons!
They still lived!
How?!
He then quickly asked in confusion and hope, "Wait, how did the Predacon race survive the Great Fire? Why are they working with the Prime? Why...", his questions were cut short when both TechnaFuries heard Predaking's unconscious form growl from the pain of his wounds.
Talus' optics widened and she gave a worried roar, she had forgot all about Predaking. He needed help now!
Without thinking, she jumped over the TechnaFury elder and she sprinted over to Predaking before she stopped and rapidly transformed into her Alt. Femme form.
She gently examined at his wounds, and she gave a small outtake of relief as she saw that there was thankfully no areas ruptured that could cause permanent damage.
Talus was about to attempt to awaken Predaking and Comm. for a groundbridge when she heard the elder TechnaFury give a soft, rumbling growl.
She snapped her helm over to him when she heard him say, amazed, "Y-You can change your very structure as well, just like Praetorrex learned?"
Talus stood up and she growled out softly, Yes she could, she in fact learned to do it by getting angry that she could not speak like her team could.
The TechnaFury mech cocked his helm a bit before he walked over curiously, his blazing yellow optics scanned over her Alt. femme form and he said gently, "Amazing, truly astonishing, how do you accomplish this feat? I wish to accomplish this ability as well"
Talus winced before she looked at Predaking's unmoving form, she then looked back up to the elder TechnaFury and she growled out, She couldn't teach the Elder TechnaFury just how to do transform just yet, she had to help Predaking.
The TechnaFury's audio sensors lowered in disappointment at the answer, before he exclaimed gently as he felt his anger start to swell and rise within his mighty chassis, "Leave that traitor to rust. Praetorrex is unworthy of your compassion or healing, he damned all of his subjects to perish, including us!"
Talus's robotic structure froze, before she growled out softly, What was the elder mech talking about?
The TechnaFury mech deflated a bit before he said sadly, "I suppose you were too young to recall this, so I shall explain.
You see, Praetorrex (Predaking's Ancestor) was the very first Predacon to emerge from the Well of All Sparks, and he immediately displayed his beastial nature by devouring a nearby primitive Cybertronian sparkling.
He was soon joined by the newly-born and recently named Rostroignis (Lazerbeak's Ancestor) and Duocaput (Twinstrike's Ancestor), and in time more newborn Predacons joined his cause.
Throughout the times, Praetorrex ruled all of Cybertron's more primitive and dangerous regions. He fought off numerous upstart Predacons and claimed their hunting grounds as his own, including one particularly memorable bout against the one named Supracaulis (Skystalker's Ancestor).
While he deigned to challenge and conquer all other Predacons for supremacy, he viewed other Cybertronians as lesser beings and, when the need arose, as meals for himself and his followers.
Praetorrex was soon consumed in his more beastial and primitive ways and his Energon lust rose as he conquered more and more of Cybertron's primitive territories for himself.
As this series of events happened, Primus sought to evolve the Predacon race to be more than just primitive beasts, but he needed to start over, make a smarter, stronger, and more powerful race of Predacons to test his Primes and defend Cybertron with the Primes if need be.
And thus after a short amount of time, the first Night's Furies were spawned from the Well of Allsparks.
Konaarsuleyk, your carrier, and myself."
Talus' optics widened as she listened to this, she was fifty-fifty by now, she needed to help Predaking, but she was so curious as well, her species' history was being laid right in front of her.
Talus looked up to the TechnaFury elder, she was so conflicted right now it hurt.
The elder TechnaFury could see the fight going on inside of her, within her very spark and he knew what he had to do. He knew what she had to do, it was a duty.
The elder walked up to her as he leaned his helm down to make optic contact with her beautiful blue optics, he then whispered gently, "You do not know, I realize this now. I will explain all if you wish it Toorzii, but I will not make you fight within yourself."
Talus was confused, were her emotions that plain to see on her scarred and scratched up faceplate?
The mech TechnaFury soon said, "You must help Praetorrex, I understand that instinct, he was once my friend as well. But this, is not your burden to bear, therefore if you wish to understand my sparkling, then come find me when you heal Praetorrex."
His expression then turned serious as he then explained, "But. If I ever see Praetorrex again Toorzii, it shall be his last mistake, and my revenge shall be complete for your carrier and spark brother."
Talus was a bit horrified and confused, but she was just glad she didn't have to fight the Elder TechnaFury for now. She then quickly growled out softly, What revenge? What did this 'Praetorrex' do that was so bad to him?
The TechnaFury mech just smiled gently before he said, "You have my scent now Toorzii, use it, use it to track me down, to find me. Come alone, and I shall explain all to you, this I swear. Farewell for now my sparkling. I hope I will see you soon."
The TechnaFury elder soon spread his wings, stabilizer fins, and tailfins before with a massive flap of his main wings, he took off vertically into the sky, and soon he was out of sight.
Talus blinked her wide optics before she soon shook her helm and she growled to herself, Okay, take care of Predaking now, then she would find her ancestor's sire and get answers later!
She quickly Comm. linked Smokescreen who immediately answered, loudly.
With a wince, Talus heard Smokescreen say worriedly, ':Talus! Talus, thank Primus! Listen I have some news for you, Shockwave...:'
Talus quickly interrupted by roaring out, No time Smokescreen! She found Predaking and he needs medical attention now!
She heard the confusion in Smokescreen's voice when he replyed, ':Wha?...Talus, what are you talking about? Predaking went to find you to tell..:'
Talus roared into her Comm. unit, Smokescreen there was no time! She needed a groundbridge now! Predaking was...attacked by a rogue Predacon, he was going to perish!
Smokescreen got back immediately, ':Got it! I'll take care of it, where are you?!:'
With a quick growl Talus explained, She was in the Southwest end of the Sea of Rust, right on the edge. He needed to hurry! She wasn't sure how much longer Predaking's wounds could bleed out!
Smokescreen quickly said, ':Got it Tal, we'll be there soon!:'
Talus heard his Comm. unit hang up and she waited, a few cycles (Minutes) later she heard the all too familiar sound of a groundbridge opening up next to them and Ratchet, Optimus, Bumblebee, Grimwing, and Divebomb all came through the portal.
All of them were shocked at Predaking's state, a fellow Predacon did this?!
Ratchet quickly took charge and with help from Optimus, Grimwing, and Divebomb, they got Predaking through the portal and straight into the Med. Bay.
Bumblebee turned to ask Talus what she thought happened to the Predacon King, only for his optics to widen in shock.
Talus...was gone.
Predaking and Talus' Ex-Refuge: Two MegaCycles later
Talus, in her natural TechnaFury form, tracked the elder TechnaFury's scent, it was actually hard, after all, this mech was probably faster than her with her artificial tailfin not being as aerodynamic as she naturally was.
She flew through the air, following the scent, until she came upon a familiar place, it was her and Predaking's ex-refuge!
The scent was so strong now, she knew that the Elder one was here.
She quickly dived down, she could faintly hear her own whistle before she slowed down and she soon gracefully landed with a tremor.
Talus looked around, wondering where the Mech TechnaFury was.
She looked around as she walked and she jumped a bit when she heard her Ancestor's sire say, "You came!"
Talus smiled and turned around to come faceplate to faceplate with the beaming face of the Elder TechnaFury mech.
He was smiling so largely, Talus faintly wondered if his faceplates would break.
The TechnaFury was so proud, his femmeling had found him! She could track! And very well to!
He soon said with pride, "Truly an amazing job Toorzii, I see you have become quite the tracker. Oh, your carrier would be so proud"
Talus felt a bit of pride flow through her chassis at the praise, and she smiled softly.
The fellow TechnaFury smiled and he soon said, "Come sweetspark, it's time I answer your questions", he soon walked to a cave with Talus right behind him.
The elder TechnaFury laid down and relaxed before he raised his left main wing softly and looked at Talus with a bit of hope in his blazing yellow optics, he sincerely hoped she remembered this at least.
Talus cocked her helm, she didn't know what he wanted, but soon she felt an instinct hit her and she decided to follow that. She gently walked over and she laid down beside him, he purred happily before he gently draped his wing over her.
The elder TechnaFury purred softly before he said happily, "You remember this, good. You used to get scared of the mighty acid storms and the cyber lightning that accompanied the acid storms. You would run over to me and be afraid of the large concussive sounds. I would hold you until you fell to recharge, and I watched over you"
He remembered those times, but they were so long ago, and they made his ancient spark feel melancholic. He missed his mate so much, it hurt like nothing else he ever experienced.
Talus watched him with a critical optic, he was probably sad, her spark broke for him, his family was gone, this she knew.
Talus also knew that she could help, by distracting him, even for a small time. She was also curious about him.
She purred out curiously, What was his name?
The ancient TechnaFury blinked his optics as he snapped out of his saddened daze and he asked softly, "What was that?"
Talus purred out again a bit gentler this time, What was his name?
The TechnaFury mech smiled and he answered softly, "My designation...I haven't spoken it in stellar cycles, but I can recall it. My designation was...is Mulviing"
Talus smiled at her ancestor's smile, now she knew his name, Mulviing.
Talus looked at Mulviing and she purred softly, Did it mean anything?
Mulviing smiled softly and he explained gently, "Yes, translated into this language, it means Strong Wing. Your carrier gave it to me, as I gave your carrier her name"
Talus curiously purred out, What was it?
Mulviing looked onto the cave wall with a longing in his optics before he shut his optics and head with a heavy spark, "I-It was Konaarsuleyk, or Konaar for a shorter designation"
Seeing how much it clearly broke his spark to talk about it, Talus quickly switched the topic when she gently grumbled out, Could he continue from where he left off before? Before she went to help Preda...Praetorrex?
Mulviing nodded softly before he smiled and he explained patiently, "Of course, you see K-Konaar and I were the first two Night's Furies spawned from the Well of Allsparks, but we both had a single objective in our minds, expand, teach, defend, and most off all pacify our Predacon brethren.
For you see, Primus loved all of his creations, even our violent brethren Predacons, and it troubled him deeply that there was conflict among his creations, all of them.
Your carrier and I stalked our Predacon brethren for many solar cycles, observing and learning from a distance. We planned of a way to get our brethren to be calmer.
The main reason we found of our brethren's aggression, for it was Praetorrex, he was a tyrant, terminating those weaker than himself with little reguard for their sparks.
Konaarsuleyk and I now knew at that moment, if we were to pacify our brethren, then we must pacify the Predacon Tyrant King.
Konaar and I approached him soon after that, he was intimidating, I will not falsify that, but I knew what I was capable of, and Konaar knew what she was capable of.
We had planned, I would fight Praetorrex, and she would keep his followers at bay.
I challenged my tyrant brethren king to an ancient duel, one so deeply tuned to our instincts that he had no choice but to accept the challenge.
But, Praetorrex was no fool, he wanted to know the terms, what was the prize for victory or the consequence of failure.
I explained my terms to him, if he won, I would be a loyal subject of his, as would Konaar, for the rest of our sparks. If I won, he would relinquish all of his followers to my rule, and he would be banished.
He accepted my challenge, confident in his abilities."
Talus' optics widened as she listened, ingrained into the story with her full attention.
Mulviing smiled at Talus before he continued, "Praetorrex attacked me the very klik (Second) he accepted my challenge, we fought for a long, long time. About a full Solar cycle, before finally I defeated Praetorrex.
Praetorrex was humiliated, and he flew away with anger seeping from every part of himself.
And as decreed, I took on his throne, but soon Konaar developed a power, one we called the 'Alpha's Power'"
Talus' optics widened at this, but she continued to listen.
"Because of this power, I gave my leadership away to Konaar, as she was a natural at leading, and soon, our Predacon brethren became more peaceful in nature under her rule.
As a reward, Primus allowed more Night's Furies to be sparked and many cycles later, Konaar was the Alpha of the Night's Fury clan, and I soon asked for K-Konaar to be my one and only mate. She accepted my courtship, and soon after that, we found out she was carrying"
Talus' optics widened again.
Mulviing continued, "But I knew that with the Night's Fury clan and our Predacon brethren under her leadership, and now she would have to go through a gestation cycle and soon we would have kit sparklings.
I knew it would be too much for her to handle, even with her power.
So, I talked with Konaar, it was a radical idea, and she was against it at first, but soon she saw my reasoning.
My idea was to have Praetorrex...take back his throne."
Talus raised a brow ridge, but she continued to listen despite the burn in her curiosity to ask questions.
Mulviing continued, "So, after I said my goodbyes to Konaar and my sparkling(s) growing within her. I set out to track Praetorrex.
I soon found him and he was still very angry with I, and he attacked me without a moment's hesitation. I defeated him again, but this time it was rapid and easy, for he was weak.
I found out why soon enough, he was starving for Energon, and he was too weak to go hunt the primitive Cybertronians. He was ready to perish.
He said to me to end him, to make his weak existence be ended.
I denied him, I had merely walked away.
But I came back to him in the next Solar cycle, with a large container, filled with Energon.
Praetorrex refused to take it at first, but once I left and he was convinced I was no longer in the vicinity, he drank it.
Every solar cycle, I would bring a container every morning, to the exact same spot near him.
After almost an Orbital cycle (Month) of bringing him Energon, he confronted me, demanding why I was wasting my Energon keeping him functional and alive.
I told him the truth, that I was doing all I could because I had a mission to pacify all Predacons from Primus himself.
But I also told him that he may be powerful, but he also had a mind and spark, therefore he had a life, and all life must be cherished. I did not wish for him to perish.
I believe that was when he started to respect myself, so I started to teach him better ways of leading.
Not long after that, and after many Rotor cycles (Weeks) of conversation, he gained a respect for me, and I him.
I had not known it at the time, but he became a great friend to me, a brother in fact, and I him.
I soon told him of my mate being the leader of both races of Predacons, and that I was going to be a sire soon. It was too much responsibility on her wings to make sure her subjects were in line and be a carrier at the same time.
Praetorrex understood my plight, and since I had helped him, he asked what he could do to help myself and Konaar.
I explained that he could come back, lead his race with no resistance on the condition that there would be peace between Predacons and the Night's Furies.
He agreed to the terms and a short while later, he became the leader of his race, once again.
Praetorrex, Konaar, and I all became good allies and friendship was strong between the three of us. But soon, all good things come to an end.
The peace with the primitive Cybertronians soon was came to an end when the Cybertronians started to become arrogant, greed filled for power.
Megatronus Prime was the cause of this, I had later found out.
He lead armies against all Predacons, Praetorrex sought my council, and we agreed, we must speak their language, they must stop their attacks, or there would never be peace.
So I stalked and observed the Primitive Cybertronian groups, and I eventually learned their language and could speak it.
I went to Megatronus Prime with Praetorrex and explained that we no longer meant any harm, we just wanted peace.
Megatronus Prime ignored my plea, and he sent armies to attack the Predacon territories. The Prime nearly killed Konaar, only because she was heavy in her gestation cycle and she was too weak to fight.
I became enraged and attacked Megatronus Prime with Praetorrex, I stopped my attack, but Praetorrex nearly extinguished the Prime's very spark.
Megatronus crawled back to his brothers and falsified that we were uncontrollable animals whom wanted to destroy everything.
But thankfully Primus had informed the Primes on what had happened, and they banished Megatronus Prime to I believe was an alternate dimension.
The Predacon race kept to ourselves, but Cybertronians loyal to Megatronus continued to attack, I was angry at them, but my attention was taking care of Konaar.
Praetorrex was becoming very angry and annoyed with the attacks, as were his subjects.
Soon, you Toorzii and your spark-twin Suleykzii were birthed. It was a grand occasion, one even Praetorrex joined in celebration of."
Talus was so intertwined into the story to ask any questions, Mulviing continued with a sad smile, "Unfortunately short after your birth, Praetorrex was approached by Prima, but since he was bitter and angered, he attacked Prima.
But Prima bested him in combat. Once Praetorrex was awakened from the flight, Prima offered him a deal–he and the other Primes would live in peace with the Predacons, and they would work together for Cybertron's wellfare. Or, both sides would leave each other be, and never interact again.
Praetorrex denied Prima immediately and chose isolation to be the answer, not thinking to gain Konaar's or my council. So Prima and the other Primes left us alone.
When I asked what had occurred, Praetorrex explained what had happened, I became horrified, he literally denied Konaar's and my mission to be completed. He had made us fail.
But he stuck to his word, he did not regret what he had done.
Nobody realized that his decision in anger, damned us all.
Not even two Solar cycles later, the Great Fire struck, Praetorrex tried to rally our kind underground, where he thought it was going to be safe. I told him we had to go deep then, very deep.
He ignored my council and he ordered the Predacons underground, but the irradiated Predacons soon fell into a frenzy and began attacking one another.
The radiation was all too familiar, it was Unicron's blood, and I knew it was what caused the Great Fire to begin in the first place.
Praetorrex managed to subdue Rostroignis and Duocaput, and the trio headed underground as he kept ordering me underground.
I had gotten separated from Konaar and yourself, I could not find either of you.
I eventually managed to find your brother when Praetorrex spotted him and warned me, and I saw a giant wall of fire approaching, so I grabbed your brother and dug into the ground like I never had before, I dug and dug and dug until I found a small cave to rest in.
I was so exhausted by the time I had finished expanding the cave, and your brother had been wounded by a fellow Predacon, and he had fallen into stasis.
I was so tired, I-I knew this was the end of our mighty race, of our reign.
But I needed to leave my story in case any other Night's Fury survived, so I carved into the small cave wall a series of messages in our tongue."
Talus' optics widened, she had a feeling she knew what 'messages' he had been talking about.
Mulviing continued as tears of Energon started to go down his face, "Once I was finished, my mind knew no more.
I cannot tell you how much time had passed, but soon I awoke from stasis and I immediately saw that your brother, was missing. I could not find him.
I-I looked for Suleykzii, you, and Konaar for many Orbital cycles. I-I could not find any of you.
After many days, I found this place, and I saw all of our Predacon brethren fossils, I realized...I-I was the last of us"
Talus gently crooned as Mulviing started to cry softly, she gently nuzzled under his helm and he looked down at her and he smiled softly and he said, "I-I do suppose y-you know the rest Toorzii, I found Praetorrex, angered that he had managed to survive, I was angry and I challenged him, I nearly ended him until you stopped me"
Talus crooned softly and she just nuzzled him, really feeling for her Ancestor's sire.
They stayed that way for a few cycles (Minutes) before Mulviing lifted his helm and he asked, "So, what's your story Toorzii, how did you survive for so long? What happened?"
Talus panicked a bit, how would she answer that?
Soon it hit her, just tell him the truth, and she did.
Talus gently explained when she crooned out, I don't remember at all, I'm sorry.
Mulviing smiled before he said, "It does not matter, what matters is that I have found you. Also the fact that we are still here, and are still alive."
Mulviing rose to his fore servos and back pedes suddenly and he said excitingly, "But there is something you can answer for me"
Talus cocked her helm before she rose and she grumbled out, What was that?
Mulviing explained excitedly, "You can teach me how you can change shape, if you can do it, than so shall I. Please Toorzii, teach me to change my shape, I am very curious on what it is like to be of a warrior's form, and not that of a beast."
Talus gave a soft smile before she gently purred out, Of course, follow her.
She walked out of the cave with Mulviing right on her tailtip, literally, and Talus walked to the center of the Predacon fossil filled refuge before she stopped and turned her large structure to face her ancestor's sire.
Mulviing looked at her expectantly, Talus thought for a second before she rapidly transformed into her Alt. femme form and she looked at him.
Talus then gently growled out an explanation, Okay, well he needed to focus internally, right into his very spark. Once he did this, with enough concentration and focus on a more humanoid self, that allows it to happen. Then and only then, does the change occur.
Mulviing nodded his large helm and he concentrated deeply, he wanted to adapt in this new age, he wanted to do everything and more that Toorzii could, so he could protect her.
Mulviing shut his optics and concentrated, on feeling every square inch of his mighty beastial structure, he then concentrated on the shape of a more humanoid self, what he thought was his sparkling, the figure in front of him.
Talus turned around to look at the sunset before she growled out softly, It was okay if he didn't get it on the first try, it was difficult after all..?!
Talus stopped when she heard an all too familiar sound of a transformation sequence activating. Talus blinked and turned around slowly before she blinked in surprise.
Mulviing smirked at her and he looked at his new form, it was quite different that what he was used to. It would take some adapting, but he believed he could do it.
Mulviing gently touched the spare muscle cables on his throat and he said, "Primus, talking in the language of the Primitive Cybertronians is much easier now", he flexed his clawed digits and he said, "And the dexterity in my forelimbs now, it is incredible"
He attempted to take a step forward and his optics widened before he exclaimed, "Oh my!", as he lost his balance and started to fall forward. But before he made contact with the ground, he was caught by Talus' servo.
She helped him stand up again and balance himself, once that was done he smiled at her.
Talus smiled back but she slowly frowned when she saw him frown gently at her, he gently reached up his right servo, his claws gently roamed over her scarred faceplate, then her scarred neck muscle cables.
Talus' structure became rigid the second he touched her neck and against her will, she flinched away from his clawed digits, she then growled out softly, Please do not touch her neck cables!
Mulviing blinked and he nodded quickly before he exclaimed gently, "I apologize sweetspark, I did not mean to offend or bring up bad times."
Talus growled out gently, She was fine, just don't do that again please.
He nodded again before he asked hesitantly, "May I ask, how those wounds occurred?"
Talus kind of expected this, so she just nodded her helm softly and she growled out to explain, It was fine that he asked, but she got the wounds when someone else tried to hurt himself, and he accidentally lashed out at her.
Mulviing raised a brow ridge before he asked softly, "I understand, is it also safe to assume that the wound is why you do not currently speak as I do?"
Talus shut her optics in pain before she growled out, Yes, her vocal processor was damaged beyond all repair, and when under great stress in the form she currently was in, it became difficult to intake.
Mulviing nodded and he left the subject be, understanding that it was no doubt painful for his sparkling to speak about.
He looked at her with a small smile, he knew how to distract her, he then exclaimed happily, "Well teach me about this new form of mine Toorzii, so I may be a mighty warrior like you are as well!"
Talus smiled softly as she looked at him, she knew she had to tell him the truth eventually, but first she would give him the tools and skills Mulviing needed to survive in this new day and age.
Talus smiled and she got into a fighting position before she growled out excitedly, And teach him, she shall!
Well that's it for now guys, once again I'm really, really sorry it took this long to get a chapter out of me.
