"Daddy!" Hot Rod shouted, jumping into Megatron's arms.
The silver warlord laughed and hugged his son back. Hot Rod nuzzled into his father's chest, glad to see him again. Optimus approached them and patted his son's back. Then he went up to Burnah and pulled him aside to talk.
"He's amazing Prime. I was rather impressed and surprised by his spirit. He'll be a great Prime one of these days," said Burnah.
"Something's still bothering you," Optimus pointed out.
"I... I have found myself taking a liking to Hot Rod. When this is all over, I would like to... um... continue training him," Burnah stuttered out.
"If Hot Rod wants to, then I will allow it. It'll do him good to have another role model in his life," said Optimus. "Thank you again Burnah. You have done great."
Burnah just nodded and turned to leave. As he started to walk away, he felt someone grab his servo. The cloaked mech looked down at Hot Rod. The mechling had a sad and desperate look in his optics.
"You're leaving?" Hot Rod asked, voice quivering a bit.
"Yes I am little one. My job is done," said Burnah.
"But... you can't go yet," Hot Rod whined. "Aren't you going to help carrier fight?"
Burnah looked up and made optic contact with the two creators before turning his attention back on the clinging mechling.
"I must leave Hot Rod. Stay with your creators," said Burnah and left.
Hot Rod didn't notice a few tears drip from his chin. He watched the mech he looked up to greatly leaving him, probably forever. Megatron picked him up and carried him back to the house. Optimus followed behind, smiling at his son. Hot Rod continued to silently cry, not wanting Burnah to leave.
~~~000
Don't you worry Hot Rod. I'll be back
~~~000
"Daddy, do you think that Burnah will come back?" asked Hot Rod.
"I'm sure he will. He never does leave for long," said Megatron. "Come on, finish your energon and get to berth. Tomorrow is the battle against Unicron."
Hot Rod drank his energon quickly and headed to berth. He fell into recharge quite fast, his body exhausted.
~~~dream
"You're going to pay for that," Unicron growled.
Hot Rod froze up. His carrier and sire was being held back by dark energon mist. Burnah stood not that far away from the two. His spark pulses went faster and faster. Hot Rod was going to be killed. Unicron formed an orb in his servo, letting the power build up. Hot Rod did nothing, his mind screaming for him to move, but his body refused to respond. Memories struck Burnah of his time with Hot Rod. He started to run forward to protect Hot Rod.
"Don't worry kid, I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."
"But... you're not the enemy."
"I like you. You're a tough mech, but I can see past that."
Unicron fired the orb. Hot Rod screamed in terror, knowing well that his end was here. Optimus and Megatron fought against the mist, but it was making them weaker. Hot Rod looked at them with fear. He was going to die. Burnah stepped right in front of Hot Rod just in time. The blast hit Burnah hard. It continued to hammer into his body. His screams reached up into the sky and to the stars. Hot Rod gasped in shock at seeing Burnah protecting him, taking the hit for him. Burnah's body cracked and melted.
Unicron stopped and smiled. He waited for the smoke to disappear to see the Prime's son dead. But when it did, he was surprised to find Burnah standing there, protecting him. Burnah gasped and moaned in pain. His glare stared into Unicron's.
"B-Burnah?" Hot Rod asked.
"Get out of here..." Burnah whispered out.
His body gave out on him. He collapsed face first onto the battlefield. Black and gold metal warped and cooled. Hot Rod crawled to Burnah's helm. The warrior had his denta clenched tightly at the pain.
"Burnah, you're hurt," Hot Rod said. "You took that hit for me. Now you're badly hurt."
"Hot Rod... I'm not going to make it," Burnah whispered.
"But you have to. I don't want you to die," Hot Rod whimpered.
"I was so hoping to save him for last, but oh well," Unicron commented.
Burnah got to his knees, his servos on the ground in front of him. He laughed at himself before he fell onto his back. He looked at Hot Rod, who now gripped onto his damaged chest. The mechling saw that the chestplates were blasted open, showing the dimming spark to the world.
"Burnah."
"This is pathetic. I was great once. Now I sacrifice myself for a mere child. You're one of the few that... I know that doesn't treat me like a monster. I want to thank you for that. In all honesty... this last few weeks together haven't been so bad. You have grown into a strong mech."
"B-b-b-Burnah!"
"I remember the first time I started to train you. You've changed so much since then. The harder things got, the more determined you became. Sorry I was so rough on you. I knew you could take it."
Tears formed in the older mech's optics.
"You can't die Burnah. We need you. I need you still," Hot Rod cried.
"You are the only hope for us. Defeat Unicron and save Cybertron. Ha, now that I think about it, you're like the son I never had. I'm proud of you. Stay strong Hot Rod."
As Burnah closed his optics, the tears finally fell, seeping into the ground. His helm lolled towards Hot Rod. The mechling saw the once strong spark go out like a light. Hot Rod choked on his tears, denying that Burnah was dead.
"NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Hot Rod's optics went pure white. His body glowed brightly in his anger. Unicron took a step back, feeling the power radiating in the air from the small child. Hot Rod floated up into the air and lunged at the dark god. His anger at Burnah's death fueled his power. Unicron didn't have time to dodge any of the moves. Hot Rod didn't let up at all. Finally he took out the bottle Burnah gave him and opened it. Unicron's spark was sucked in, killing his shell of a body. Hot Rod lowered to the ground and went to his knees.
His tears were hot as they dripped to the ground like a small shower of rain. His friend and teacher was dead. It hurt his little golden spark to know that the one he looked up to was dead. Burnah had sacrificed himself to protect him, knowing well that he was going to die. Now Unicron was no more. Hot Rod felt his father pick him up and walk to his mate, who knelt down next to Burnah.
"He's gone daddy. Burnah's dead," Hot Rod cried out.
"I know Hot Rod. Shh... it'll be alright now. He's not in pain anymore," said Megatron.
"I want him back. It isn't fair. I should of been killed. It should of been me, not Burnah."
"Hot Rod listen to me. It shouldn't of been you or Burnah or anyone. We cannot control what happens. I can't explain why Burnah would do that, but he did for a good reason. We'll see him again one day. I promise," Megatron whispered into his son's audio.
~~~end dream
Hot Rod woke up with a start. The dream was already slipping from his tired mind. His carrier walked in to get him. It was time.
"Are you ready Hot Rod?" asked Optimus.
"Yes mama," said Hot Rod.
"You don't seem like it. What's wrong?"
"I had a dream. I don't remember what it was about, but something bad is going to happen," said Hot Rod.
"I'll do everything to prevent it. Everyone on Cybertron is going to stay in the cities. Only you, me, your father, and a few others are going to fight," said Optimus. "But I need you to do something important. I need you to find and help Starscream and Photon. Bring them to safety. Grandcarrier is going to be there to help fix them up."
"Alright mama. Find Photon and Starscream and bring them to grandcarrier," Hot Rod repeated.
"Good. Now go get some energon. We leave in a few hours," said Optimus, smiling brightly.
~~~later
Unicron snarled as he watched as the Prime and his small force came. His optics set on the small youngling clinging to Megatron's leg. An idea formed in his processor. Optimus and the others froze in horror at the large laser beam behind them. Starscream and Photon were cuffed and watched by Optimus' creators.
"Get the seeker ready, then go help the others when the battle starts," said Unicron.
Starscream protested and struggled as the two grabbed him and dragged him to the machine. His wings were pinned down to the machine with the rest of his body, making it so that he could barely move. His chestplates were forced open and wires connected to his spark. Starscream still struggled and fought, even though Unicron had threatened to kill Photon if he didn't obey. The Vosian prince couldn't allow a youngling to die.
"He's ready my lord," said Hyller.
"Excellent. Geme, keep an optic on the youngling. Hyller, go with Axel and Sharpshooter up front," Unicron ordered.
"Yes my lord," the two said.
"Soon enough you will be mine Prime," Unicron whispered.
~~~000
"I see Photon," said Hot Rod excitedly.
"I can also see Starscream, but it looks like he's attached to that machine behind them," said Megatron. "His spark is exposed so try not to hit him."
"So who's taking on who?" asked Ironhide.
"Megatron and I will be taking on Unicron. The rest of you will attack the others. Hot Rod will be getting Starscream and Photon to safety. Ratchet, you know what to do," said Optimus.
"Daddy I'm scared," Hot Rod whimpered.
"It's alright. I'll be right here to help you," Megatron said.
"I want Burnah," the mechling said.
"I know."
~~~000
Burnah watched the battle about to happen. He stayed hidden, only joining if they really needed it. He wanted to see how Hot Rod would do. His spark felt pained at a sudden thought of his student being killed during the battle. Burnah shook his helm. There was no way in the Pit he was going to let that happen.
~~~000
"Attack!" Unicron shouted.
The battle begun. Optimus and Megatron rushed forward and met Unicron head on. Hot Rod ran and dodged bullets and laser fire as he made his way to Photon. Geme grabbed Hot Rod and held him up by the back of his neck. Hot Rod kicked and squirmed.
"Let me go!" Hot Rod shouted.
"No way kid. But it's not like you can do anything to me," Geme sneered.
"Don't be too sure," said Hot Rod.
Hot Rod kicked out and hit Geme in just the right spot. He had done the same to Burnah, knocking him out. Hot Rod thought that he killed him at first until he moved.
~~~flashback
"You're weak if you got yourself caught," said Burnah, bringing Hot Rod closer to his face. "You must learn to never get captured by the enemy."
Hot Rod panicked and kicked Burnah's throat, just right beneath his chin. Burnah dropped Hot Rod and collapsed to the ground, unresponsive. Hot Rod freaked out and shook Burnah. The larger mech didn't respond and just laid there.
"Oh Primus I killed him," Hot Rod said.
Burnah stayed like that for a few hours. It wasn't until Hot Rod was just about to go into recharge that Burnah finally got up. Hot Rod jumped up and down before hugging his teacher.
"Thank Primus you're alright. I thought I killed you," said Hot Rod.
"Very well Hot Rod. You learned something new. Right here is a spot to knock out your enemies for long periods of time," Burnah explained, pointing to the spot he was kicked. "Keep this in mind."
~~~end flashback
Hot Rod jumped down and fiddled with Photon's bonds. It was complex, so the mechling took out a small laser scalpel and started to cut through the metal.
"Hot Rod?" Photon asked.
"It's me big brother," said Hot Rod.
"You've grown up since I last saw you," said Photon.
"Yep. I missed you and so have carrier and sire," said Hot Rod. "And well everyone else. We looked for you and Starscream. Well then carrier took me to this mech and he trained me. I just wish he was here."
Photon shook the metal off of him and stood up on shaky pedes. He smiled down at Hot Rod and hugged him. A loud pained scream ringed in their audios. Photon looked to see the machine turned on. Starscream arched and thrashed around as the machine powered off his spark. It was pointed right at Optimus' chest. Photon raced to the other seeker with his younger brother to try to stop the machine. Photon took the laser scalpel and cut the wires from the machine and then got Starscream away from there. The machine smoked and broke.
Starscream stumbled along with Photon as they made their way to Ratchet. The orange and white medic caught the Vosian prince when he fell. Ratchet gently eased the wires out of his spark before closing his chestplates. Hot Rod smiled and turned his attention to the battle. The only one that was left was Unicron. Ironhide, Prowl, and Jazz cuffed the others and rested. They had various injuries, but was still alive.
"Megatron!"
Hot Rod looked to see his father collapse onto the ground. A purple mist created a small wall to weaken the Prime and former gladiator. Unicron smiled and threw a few blasts to the two mates. Hot Rod felt something growing in his chest and charged forward at Unicron. Burnah came out to help Optimus up and check up on Megatron. He knew that the dark god was too powerful for them both. Hot Rod felt a power shoot from his servo, hitting Unicron's helm, knocking him back. Unicron snarled and stared up at Hot Rod.
"Hot Rod catch!" shouted Burnah. "Use it to trap Unicron in it!"
Burnah threw a small bottle, which Hot Rod caught. Unicron got up and got ready to fire at the youngling with all his power.
"You're going to pay for that," Unicron growled.
Hot Rod froze up. His carrier and sire was being held back by dark energon mist. Burnah stood not that far away from the two. His spark pulses went faster and faster. Hot Rod was going to be killed. Unicron formed an orb in his servo, letting the power build up. Hot Rod did nothing, his mind screaming for him to move, but his body refused to respond.

Axel stood up and pointed his gun at the group. Optimus got in front of his family, willing to protect them. The black mech fired his gun. The bullet flew past the Prime.
"You missed Axel," said Optimus.
"Have I?" the mech asked in return.
Optimus was confused. He looked behind him and saw that Photon was just standing there, energon leaking from his chest. He looked down at the wound and then back up at his adopted creators before falling to the ground, landing on his back.
"No," Optimus whispered.
