"Hurry up Hot Rod!" Burnah shouted.
"I'm trying," Hot Rod said.
"Well then try harder! What I have planned for you will be worse!" Burnah said harshly.
I don't see why carrier likes this guy Hot Rod thought. He mean.
Burnah finally stopped after another 13 miles. They were at a cliff top, but the drop wasn't too far. Only a few hundred feet to the bottom. There was a lake with a waterfall and a few Earth-looking rocks. A small camp was made near the rocks. Hot Rod felt on his knees, breathing heavily. Burnah rolled his optics and picked up Hot Rod. He walked over to the lake and dropped him in it. Hot Rod surfaced after a few minutes, struggling to stay above the water. The mechling went up onto the shore, shaking.
"What did you do that for?" Hot Rod demanded.
"Your training begins now," said Burnah. "And it will be harsh. You will do as you are told or face a lot of pain. Now, start by swimming around."
"But I can't swim," Hot Rod said.
"I said swim," said Burnah.
Hot Rod sighed and went back into the water. His body struggled with staying up above the water. Burnah sat down on one of the rocks at the shore near the waterfall and watched. Hot Rod stayed in the water for another hour or so before Burnah told him to get out. The mechling shook the water off and sat down. Burnah allowed him a short break before hitting him hard. Hot Rod flew backwards into a rock.
"Get up. Show me what you know about fighting," Burnah instructed.
Hot Rod didn't even know much about fighting. Sure the Matrix made him and his twin grow faster than normal, but he was never taught about this fighting thing. Burnah saw this and sighed loudly.
"Slag it Prime. You couldn't of at least prepared him a little bit," Burnah muttered under his breath.
Burnah worked Hot Rod hard for weeks. Hot Rod didn't know why he had to do this. But he wasn't willing to disappoint his creators. Burnah started him off early and would make him do the same task each day until he mastered it. Hot Rod ended each day exhausted and would fall into recharge before he fully lays down next to the fire to keep warm.
Burnah hit Hot Rod, knocking the youngling over the edge of the cliff, adding to his already damaged body.
"I'll never give up Burnah. I'm willing to keep going until my spark goes out. I'll keep fighting until I see carrier again," said Hot Rod from his spot at the bottom of the cliff.
Burnah sat there and listened to the youngling he was training. He never seemed to give up. It was like a fire of determination had started to grow larger and hotter. Hot Rod climbed his way back up and attacked Burnah. Burnah didn't have time to block the sudden attack. And energon line ripped open in his chest, spilling out the precious fluid.
"Well done kid," Burnah praised. Hot Rod smiled.
Then he attacked. Hot Rod fell flat against his back after another harsh hit to the face.
"But you must never take your optics off the enemy," Burnah continued.
"But... you're not the enemy," said Hot Rod.
Burnah was shocked at the reply. He was always thought of as the enemy. That's why he lived out here. The mech turned around, his cape flowing. He went to the rock near the waterfall to meditate. He needed to think. Hot Rod didn't know what to do, so he continued on training. Later on that night, Hot Rod stared straight into his trainer's optics.
"Why did you leave after I said that you weren't the enemy?" Hot Rod asked.
"I'll tell you this once," said Burnah. "I am a different mech now."
~~~flashback
"I'll kill you for that Prime," a black and gold mech snarled.
"I'll like to see you try Burnah," said Sentinel.
Burnah screamed and charged forward, anger blinding him. He had already sent his son, Burnah, away for his safety. He had helped his mate by protecting him while he fought against Burnah.
"I will end your rein of fear," Sentinel vowed.
Burnah and Sentinel fought hard until both were beaten and broken. Sentinel struck Burnah for the last time, killing the mech. Burnah felt his spark go out, but his son would get revenge on him. His mate was captured by Sentinel's forces, who arrived. Burnah's son had hidden in Kaon, becoming one of the best gladiators, training a young mechling, Megatronus for years. But sadly, Burnah became ill and lost in one match that left him unable to battle anymore, but he still trained Megatronus, who in turn trained the others.
Burnah left the Pits of Kaon to go explore. His mind was filled with his father's demise. Sentinel was lucky to survive the battle that ended his father's life. His carrier had died at Sentinel's orders. But no one knew that Burnah had a son. As he walked through the streets, he kept a cloak on him. He looked just like his father, only younger. A large mech pushed right past him, knocking him to the ground. His cloak was ripped off by someone. Mechs and femmes gasped in horror at him. Not long, Sentinel and his guards arrived.
"Burnah," Sentinel growled. "I thought I killed you years ago."
"I don't know what you are talking about," Burnah's deep voice answered back.
"Don't play stupid Burnah," said Sentinel.
"I honestly don't know what you are talking about. My name is Hyko," said Burnah, using his gladiator name. He didn't want to be arrested because he looked and acted like his father. He even had the same name as him.
"Obviously you don't. Now surrender peacefully Burnah, and I may think about sparing you after all the trouble you caused years ago," said Sentinel.
Burnah laughed quietly, then grew louder. Sentinel was confused and his guard fell. Burnah quickly killed his guards and held him in place.
"Oh Sentinel, if only you knew. Indeed my name is Burnah, but I am not my father. Yes you did kill him and my carrier. I've been a gladiator for years. But I never forgot what you did to my father. He programmed me to kill you off," said Burnah, stabbing Sentinel. The Prime tried to escape, but couldn't.
"You are just as evil as your father," Sentinel spat out.
"Yes I am," said Burnah. "And I will kill anyone that dares to get in my way! I will continue my father's work!"
Burnah finished off Sentinel and started shooting at the bots around him. Hundreds fell that day until Alpha Trion stopped him. Burnah knew that that last attack done to him would end him. Alpha Trion was also beaten badly. Young Megatronus and Orion Pax watched as Alpha Trion was about to kill Burnah.
"Alpha Trion stop!" Megatronus shouted. "He's defeated. You don't have to kill him."
"He is an evil mech that must be destroyed," said Alpha Trion.
"Yes, but I know that you two are connected. Kill him and you die yourself," Megatronus countered.
Alpha Trion stepped down, knowing that much was true. Megatronus walked up to his teacher and pulled him up to rest on his chest. Burnah stared up at his first student.
"Why?" Burnah asked quietly.
"I couldn't let you die. You are a good mech on the inside. No one sees that just because your father wired you wrong when you were sparked. You aren't like him," said Megatronus.
"Yes I am. I am the enemy," Burnah denied.
"You're not the enemy. I can see that you can change into a better mech," Megatronus said. "I'll help you change and fight what your father did to you. Both Orion Pax and I will help you."
"Thank you Megatronus," said Burnah. "At least you can see a different side of me."
Ratchet approached on the scene. Orion explained what happened and Ratchet helped heal Burnah. Once the mech was healed, he left to a place that was far away from anyone else. Megatronus and Orion Pax went there each day with energon and supplies for him and to help him become good. But then the war began. Burnah hid away so that he didn't become evil again. His area went untouched by war and he stayed there until the war ended. Megatron and Optimus went there, looking for him.
"Burnah! Are you still here?!" Megatron shouted, looking for his older friend.
"I'm here Megatronus!" Burnah called back.
The mech had his cloak on, but no longer hiding his face. He hopped off of the rock he was meditating on and walked to the silver mech and embraced him.
"It's been so long Megatronus. My have you grow up," said Burnah, pulling away to look over his former student. "You've grown so big now. Ah, Orion Pax. Last I saw you, you were such a little mech. Now you've gotten bigger, but Megatronus is still taller. And you're sparked? Who's the lucky mech?"
"It is good to see you alive Burnah. Megatron is the father of our twins," said Optimus.
"Wow, twins. Hope they don't end up like you Megatronus. You were a feisty little mech when I taught you," Burnah teased.
"I still am old mech. I hope you meet our twins. I bet they'll like you," said Megatron.
"Hardly doubt that. I'm hard to like," Burnah laughed. "It's about time you two get together. So what happened with the war and all that? I haven't heard much since Cybertron was revived."
Optimus and Megatron explained what had happened. Burnah sat down with the two and listened to their story. He was surprised by what Ratbat and Shockwave did. But hey, he wasn't one to argue. They did deserve it. The two finished and Burnah laughed.
"You two are such younglings," Burnah managed to get out. "I should come to the city more often, come and visit every now and then."
"We would like that," said Megatron.

"Wow. I didn't know you knew my creators so much," said Hot Rod. "I can tell that you've changed big time."
"Indeed I have, but I am still unwelcome in many places. My father struck fear in many sparks. And because I look like him, they'll never fully accept me. Maybe the younger generations, but those that were alive when my father was won't," said Burnah. "Now get some sleep. You're going to need it. The time has almost come for your carrier to face Unicron."
"Night Burnah," Hot Rod said, getting ready. "I like you. You're a tough mech, but I can see past that."
During the night, Burnah kept the fire going. He watched as Hot Rod slept. His spark seemed to form some sort of bond with this youngling. They had gotten closer during the few months he trained the youngling. Burnah reached out, hesitating for a moment before stroking Hot Rod's helm.
"Don't worry kid, I won't let anything happen to you. I promise," Burnah quietly vowed into the night.
~~~hidden base
"Starscream?" Photon asked.
"It's almost time," said Starscream. "Unicron is going to kill Optimus soon."
"Isn't there anyway we can stop him?" asked Photon, fearing for the mech that saved him.
"I am still working on it Photon. I promise I won't let him kill Optimus," said Starscream.
~~~Iacon- Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's place
"That's a good girl," said Sunstreaker.
Silverarrow was painting on a sheet of metal Sunstreaker gave her. The sparkling had taken to painting. Bob laid curled up next to Coral, both sleeping. Sideswipe was busy selling another one of Sunstreaker's paintings.
"Bro, she's like me when I was her age," said Sunstreaker. "The girl's got talent that's for sure."
Sideswipe looked over at what Silverarrow was painting. It was of an earth animal in the water. Sideswipe recognized it as a sea turtle.
"She is good Sunny. Maybe you can teacher her some more when she's older," Sideswipe suggested. "I'm sure Bob will enjoy it. He likes the twins."
"That sounds nice. I'll have to talk to Prime and Megs about it," said Sunstreaker. "So why did you think they wanted us to watch them for a few months?"
"Beats me. I just listen. Megs is scary when he's pissed off. It could be something serious and they didn't want them to get in the middle of it," said Sideswipe.
~~~Burnah's camp
"Come on Hot Rod, time to wake up," said Burnah.
The mechling woke up and got some energon. Burnah had him start his training. It was about time that the training got harder. Optimus was counting on him to train his son in case he was defeated by Unicron. Hot Rod could be their last hope against the dark god. The day went by quicker than Burnah had expected. He knew that his time with the determined mechling was almost up. And he hoped that Hot Rod would continue to visit him. He had grown attached to him in the short time, but didn't show it.
"Well done Hot Rod. Soon you'll be like your father when he was your age." Hot Rod beamed up. "But then again he was older than you when he started training with me. You're just growing up fast because of the Matrix."
"Sire and carrier will be so proud of me," said Hot Rod. "But... I don't want our time together to be over with. I've gotten closer to you."
"You'll just have to deal with it Hot Rod," said Burnah.
~~~ Prime's house
"It's almost time," said Optimus, staring out the window of their berthroom.
"I know love. I know that you can defeat Unicron," said Megatron. "We still have our last resort."
"Yes, but I hope that we don't have to use it," said Optimus.
Megatron pushed his mate back and joined him. Optimus snuggled up to Megatron's warm side. His mind and body were tired, and he fell asleep before he knew it. Megatron just held his mate, thinking on the possibilities of what could happen in a week from now. They had both decided that they would do anything to defeat Unicron. It was time to bring him down once and for all.
~~~Burnah's camp
A week had passed and Burnah knew it was time to take Hot Rod back. He dreaded it, but he knew he had to. Burnah stirred the cold ashes to make sure the fire was out before picking up a sleeping Hot Rod and started to head back to Iacon. Today was just the beginning of the fight against Unicron. He had to make sure that Hot Rod was prepared for any outcome.
