Burnah fought to stay conscious so that he could find Hot Rod and get him back to Optimus and Megatron. The mere thought of Hot Rod being taken by this Galvatron was spark breaking. His spark flared wildly, telling him to go find Hot Rod and never let him go. Burnah was leaning heavily against a rock trying to stop the energon flow that didn't want to stop. Cyclonus continued to stare at him while Scourge had his back to both of them.
'I'll get you out of here when I can.'
Burnah lifted his head to look at Cyclonus. He had received a message from the mech.
'Alright. I need to get back to my student. He's too young to fight on his own,' Burnah replied.
'I'll take you to him. I wish to help you, but I know that I will die if I'm not careful. After I was taken out of stasis, I was forced by Dark Energon to follow the dark god,' Cyclonus said.
'I'll help you if you help me,' Burnah said.
'Deal. I have someone of my own to find and protect. He must be so worried right now,' said Cyclonus.
'Who?'
'His name is Tailgate. He's a minibot yes, but his spark is big. I just about lost him to Cybercrosis once. I don't want to lose him from worry and depression. He was with spark the last I saw him, barely showing,' Cyclonus explained.
'He sounds like a good mech. I'll help you find him. I'll get Prime's help too. If who you are talking about was an Autobot, then Prime will know,' said Burnah.
'Thank you Burnah. I will repay you back when this ends,' said Cyclonus.
Galvatron returned back and walked up to Cyclonus. The purple seeker knelt down in respect. Galvatron stared at Burnah before digging his claws into Burnah's wound, more energon leaking out and painting both mechs' metal and the ground. Burnah let out a small cry of pain.
"Where is he?" Galvatron growled.
"N-never," Burnah gritted out.
Galvatron snarled and ripped his claws out, energon flying out. Burnah cried out once more and covered the wound. If he didn't get medical attention fast, then he would surely die. Warnings popped up with low energon and failing systems. Burnah's vision blurred and darkened. The last he saw was Cyclonus staring at him with hidden sorrow.
'Hold on Burnah,' Cyclonus sent to Burnah.

Hot Rod shivered as it grew darker. Night was approaching and Burnah still hadn't showed up or contacted him. Hot Rod wanted so badly to go and get a fire started and find his mentor. But he didn't. He stayed where he was hidden. The mech after him could still be out there. His systems shut down one by one, but Hot Rod continued to stay alert.
"Where are you Burnah?" Hot Rod whispered.
~~~000
"Cyclonus, stay with him. You can rejoin us when you find his student. We'll be on Moon Base 2," said Galvatron.
"Yes my lord," said Cyclonus, bowing down.
Galvatron and the other mechs transformed and flew off to the second moon. Cyclonus waited before bringing Burnah to the campsite. He started the fire up and laid Burnah close to it. Then he went to the waterfall and looked behind it. Hot Rod shivered hard and struggled to stay awake. Cyclonus took the youngling and brought him to the fire. Hot Rod got as close as he dared and warmed up. He saw Cyclonus tending to Burnah, but there was nothing he could do without a medic.
"I have to take him to a medic," Cyclonus said.
"Who are you? What happened to Burnah? Is he going to be alright?" Hot Rod asked.
"My name is Cyclonus. My master is Galvatron, who wants you to turn into his soldier. I was infected by Dark Energon and now I have to serve him until I find a way out of his control. Your teacher was attacked by him. He refused to tell where were hidden," said Cyclonus.
"I can contact my carrier to get grandcarrier over here. He's the best medic on Cybertron," said Hot Rod.
"Do that. Burnah needs help fast or else he's going to die," said Cyclonus.
Hot Rod contacted his carrier and sire and told them the situation. Optimus told him to bring Burnah to the hospital so that Ratchet could get him fixed. Cyclonus heard Hot Rod and picked him up carefully.
"Can you transform yet?" Cyclonus asked.
"No not yet. Burnah didn't want me to get an alt mode until later," said Hot Rod.
"Alright, climb up and hang on tight," Cyclonus said.
Hot Rod climbed up onto Cyclonus' back and clung on tight. The purple seeker activated his thrusters and flew off towards Iacon. Hot Rod instructed him to Ratchet's hospital. Once Cyclonus landed, he ran inside, calling for help. Hot Rod saw his grandcarrier and got him. Ratchet brought up a gurney and took Burnah back to have surgery. Hot Rod waited on Cyclonus' lap, waiting for the news on his mentor.
"Something's on your mind," said Cyclonus. "And it isn't just about Burnah being injured."
"When I'm around him, my spark feels strange. It would skip a beat and seems attracted to his," said Hot Rod. "Do you know what that might mean?"
Cyclonus laughed loudly, startling the youngling.
"What you are feeling is a connection to him. It could mean that a bond is forming or he's meant to be your sparkmate," said Cyclonus.
"My sparkmate?" Hot Rod asked. "But I'm too young to have one. I don't even know what sparkmates do besides love each other and kiss. I don't even know how they get sparklings."
Cyclonus laughed again and rubbed Hot Rod's helm.
"You truly are so innocent," said Cyclonus. "I won't say anything to you. You can let your grandcarrier and creators do that."
"Alright," said Hot Rod.
Ratchet came out with a smile. Hot Rod hugged him and smiled back. Cyclonus stayed sitting, not knowing what to do. He felt a longing in his spark as the two interacted.
"How is he grandcarrier?" asked Hot Rod.
"He'll be fine. I would say he can get back to training you within a few days. He lost a lot of energon, but nothing vital was hit," said Ratchet.
"Can I go see him?"
"Have Knock Out take you. I need to speak with someone," said Ratchet.
"Ok. Thanks grandcarrier. I'll see you later," said Hot Rod and ran to the desk to get Knock Out.
Ratchet shook his helm. His attention turned back to Cyclonus, who still sat there. He sat down next to him and studied him. Cyclonus shifted and turned his gaze away.
"Cyclonus?" Ratchet asked after a while.
"Yes," Cyclonus answered.
"How? You were-"
"Don't. It is a nightmare enough thinking about it," Cyclonus interrupted.
"He's still worried about you," said Ratchet after a moment. "And your son is amazing."
"My son?" Cyclonus questioned.
"Yes. Tailgate had a healthy mechling," said Ratchet. "A wonderful mech now. He's strong like you, but still messes around like Tailgate."
"I bet he is," said Cyclonus, but knew he couldn't return to his family without endangering them. "Sadly I cannot return to them. I am infected with Dark Energon and controlled by Galvatron, who seeks Hot Rod to use his power to help free Unicron. If I were to return, I could endanger their lives. I could never do that."
"Dark Energon?" Ratchet asked. "Oh my. We have to extract it immediately. It can drive your spark wild and eventually kill you."
"I know. But there is no way to get rid of it," said Cyclonus.
"Let me try. I've dealt with it before," said Ratchet. "Come on, it's time you go back to Tailgate. He needs you badly."
Ratchet lead Cyclonus out of the waiting room and into an operation room. First Aid was there waiting with the equipment that Ratchet requested. Cyclonus doubted that he could be saved, but he was willing to let him try if there was a chance that he could be saved.
~~~000
Tailgate laid down on his berth. His Cybercrosis symptoms came back a few weeks after Cyclonus was shot down and never found. His carrying term was difficult for him to do anything. Luckily First Aid and his team was with him, including Ratchet and his family. But now his spark felt empty without his mate there with him. His spark was weak and needed an extra boost, but only his mate could do that since they were bonded. Now if they weren't, then that's a whole different story. A knock came from the front door, but Tailgate couldn't move to answer. He was expecting his son that day to help him around the house. The door opened and Getaway waltzed right in.
"I told you I won't go out with you, nor do I want your help," said Tailgate.
"Oh but come on Tailgate. Cyclonus isn't around anymore. He's most likely dead," said Getaway.
"He isn't dead. And even if he was I still won't go out with you," said Tailgate.
"Fine. But I'll be back," said Getaway and left.
Tailgate sighed. The mech was trying to get him ever since he first laid optics on him. Yeah it was before he bonded to Cyclonus, but Tailgate didn't love Getaway. He loved Cyclonus and nothing could change that.
~~~ few days later
Burnah was up and about, Hot Rod always by his side. Optimus sent Hot Rod away to go play with his sisters and twin while he and Megatron talked to Burnah.
"Hot Rod is in danger," said Burnah. "A mech name Galvatron is after him for his power. Now I don't know what he means by that, but there is no way I'm letting that happen."
"Hot Rod did do something after you died," said Optimus. "His optics turned white and he floated up before beating Unicron and stowing him away into the bottle. He didn't show any mercy and his power faded away."
"Galvatron must of known about his power and craves it," said Burnah. "We must protect him."
"We need to take him somewhere where he won't be found. And this power must be controlled. If he gets out of control, then it could be trouble," said Megatron.
"I can keep him with me and teach him to control his power. I did the same with Soundwave when he couldn't control his telepathic powers. He kept hearing everyone's thoughts and couldn't control it. We can have Soundwave help us with his training," said Burnah.
"I'll contact him tomorrow," said Megatron. He turned his helm to where the children were.
"I'll go feed the femmes," said Optimus.
"Megatron, we must act quickly. I'm sure you heard of the ex-Decepticon Cyclonus right?" asked Burnah.
"Of course. He was one of the best. He fell in love with a neutral who later became an Autobot with Ultra Magnus' help," said Megatron.
"He's with Galvatron, but he's been infected by Dark Energon. He is being forced to follow Galvatron and Unicron," said Burnah.
"And he was purged of it," said Ratchet, walking into the room, Cyclonus on his tail.
"Welcome Ratchet, Cyclonus," said Megatron.
"Where's Orion?" asked Ratchet.
"He went to go feed the femmes," Megatron answered.
"I shall wait then. We need to find Tailgate. He and Cyclonus have been separated for far too long," said Ratchet. "And I'm sure that Cyclonus would like to meet his son."
"Ah yes I remember the little mech. He was so feisty and serious when he wasn't enjoying himself and having fun," said Megatron.
"Yes he was," said Ratchet.
"It's good to see you Megatron," said Cyclonus.
"Likewise Cyclonus. Please sit down. Optimus should be back soon," said Megatron. "Then we can look to see where your mate is."
~~~000
Tailgate heard the door again and knew his son was home. He smiled as his son's larger frame walked into the berthroom. His son sat down and kissed his helm. Tailgate retracted his mask and sipped at the energon that was offered to him before he went to sleep.
"Rest well carrier."
