I don't own Transformers Prime as the show is owned by Hasbro.
Ch. 33: Family Meet and Greet
Megatronous, Orion, Moonlight, and Neytiri.
Megatron kept repeating the names in his head as he looked over the big family that had been created basically overnight. He felt honored and privileged that Elisa named her first-born after him. True to his word Optimus was taking good care of him and Ratchet was helping as well. Optimus announced that he had bonded with Ratchet and Elisa didn't seem too bothered by it, just as long as he helped her. However, she was learning that both Optimus and Ratchet wanted to help raise the sparklings. They were starting to develop their own personality as well. Megatronous and Orion stuck by each other and played with each other constantly. Moonlight watched from the sidelines but played with his brothers every so often, but all three just loved their sister. One time Elisa watched the first two mech wrestling with each other again when Neytiri came into the fight and started giving Megatronous kisses when Orion was on top of him. It wasn't long before all three mechs surrounded the femme and were purring loudly before falling asleep.
With taking care of the sparklings, Elisa wasn't allowed to help with reconstruction. She didn't mind though as watching her sparklings everyday made her feel happy. She wondered if this was what Carrier felt after Phoenix and her were born. Galvatron still kept his distance, which she was also greatful for as she didn't even want to hear him at the moment. She was watching them work on construction when someone started licking at her neck. Elisa looked down and saw Neytiri looking at her with her cute blue eyes and tail wagging happily.
"Hello Neytiri." Elisa smiled and licked at her face making her chirp in delight. Quickly everyone was crawling over Carrier to get attention and she had to laugh. They all stopped when they heard pedesteps and they looked to see Smokescreen walking over to them. Orion hurried over to the race car as he warmed up to him the fastest. Megatronous soon followed his brother.
"Hey guys." He smiled as he playfully wagged his fingers over them and they playfully tried to bit at them. Moonlight and Neytiri were still very shy about others, but they were good towards Optimus, Ratchet and Megatron. Smokescreen cautiously walked forward and handed Elisa two cubes for her. "Who's hungry!?" He teased in a happy voice.
"Thanks." Elisa said to him. Megatronous and Orion sniffed the cubes but weren't hungry, but Moonlight was. Elisa feed the sleek mech as Smokescreen kept the two ruffians busy. "How's construction going?" She asked.
"Ok for the most part. Not too much shouting." He answered.
"Hey look out!" Bulkhead shouted off in the distance as if on cue before a yelp was heard.
"Opps." He said embarrassed as Elisa laughed.
"Come on babies." Elisa said as she lowered her back. They instantly crawled up and held Carrier's back spikes as she stood up on four legs and walked out with Smokescreen. They found Starscream rubbing his helm as a vehicon was helping him with his injury, but Starscream really wasn't having it. "Oh boy that must be Steve." She chuckled.
"Who?"
"Steve is a vehicon that has a crush on Starscream." Elisa explained.
"Oh man." He laughed. A familiar honk sounded off in the distance and they looked to see Ultra Magnus returning with Wheeljack. They got to them before they transformed. Of course Megatronous and Orion greeted the two, but Moonlight and Neytiri stayed close to Carrier.
"Hey little man." Wheeljack said patting Megatronous and he gave a playful chirp, while Magnus rubbed Orion's back.
"Anything good?" Elisa asked curiously.
"No nothing to report Elisa." Magnus answered. It worried Elisa as she feared for her sparklings if Magma or Phoenix ever laid eyes on them. They could be taken away from her or even kidnapped. She couldn't even bear that thought or idea of any of her sparklings getting hurt. She would protect them no matter what.
"How's the servo doing?" She asked as his claw had been replaced with a real servo again.
"Doing quiet well thank-you. I guess the other two are still very shy." He said pointing to the sparklings at her feet.
"Yeah, don't worry though. They'll get use to you." She said gently before she picked them both up and carried them over to Magnus and Wheeljack. Magnus held out his servo and the two sparklings sniffed it. Neytiri reacted first and licked at his servo as if to say hello and finally Moonlight started rubbing on his servo too. It took basically the same amount of time for them to warm up to Wheeljack as well. It wasn't long before all four sparklings were wondering around each other sniffing the ground and cautiously exploring.
"Anyone try to fly off yet?" Wheeljack joked.
"No, they can't even open their wings yet. They're only three weeks old." Elisa answered.
"I was just teasing Elisa." He winked at her. She gave a little huff before the two wreckers headed towards the construction. She had to smile at how the two seemed closer now and Elisa suspected they might be together. She even thought Knockout was looking at Smokescreen once or twice as well.
"They make a cute couple." Smokescreen spoke up making her look at him in surprise.
"Wow, that surprising coming from you." She teased. "Hey what about you and Knockout?" She asked curiously.
"Knockout!? No way." He waved off.
"Hey Smokescreen we could use a servo here!" Bee called out. He waved bye to her and quickly drove off to help the others. Elisa watched the construction for a few minutes before gathering the sparklings and taking them back to base. She sat down and gave them a bath. Megatronous protested the most as he squeaked as he liked to play more often. Of course the boys started to play again, but were quickly stopped when Galvatron came into the room. Three of the sparklings looked at him curiously while Megatronous growled baring his small teeth at the stranger.
"Can I help you Galvatron?" Elisa called out calmly.
"I've come to apologize." He said sincerely. She frowned but let him continue. "I was wrong to say what I've said no excuses this time." He said strongly.
"I'm not a consort for anyone. I never have and I never will be." She snapped at him.
"I understand and I want to apologize for insulting you." He spoke cautiously. She took a deep breath before she spoke again.
"I accept your apology."

Megatronous just wouldn't keep still and it was driving Elisa crazy. He just wouldn't stay still as the other three were sound asleep. He kept wandering outside and looking up at the stars and Elisa kept pulling him back inside.
"Megatronous stop it and go to sleep!" She said very sternly glaring at him. He looked at the ground in shame and curled up next to his brothers and sister. Elisa took a deep breath to steady herself as she tried to calm down, but she had to admit that something in the air didn't feel right. Thankfully the answer came in the form of a purple glow flying way out in the ruins. She hurried over to Optimus and woke him up. "I saw something flying out there with a purple glow." She said quickly. Optimus went over to the scanner and looked but found no life signal.
"Nothing is showing up on the radar. Are you sure you saw something?" He asked confused.
"Yes I did." She nearly growled.
"Ok, we'll check it in the morning." He said gently rubbing her arm. She only huffed as she retreated back to her sparklings.

BOOM!
Purple fire exploded as the dragon landed hard on the ground. He was large and black with a mix of royal purple in his skin and eyes. He stood up tall on two legs and let out a deep roar of arrival.
"Aaah Mecha you always knew how to make an entrance." Magma called out as he landed with Phoenix not far behind. All she could was stare in fascination at the large and powerful dragon. His right arm was mechanical that was a silver metal with large sharp claws along with pieces of metal in his wings.
"Let's get started." Mecha said licking his lips.

Elisa didn't get a lot of sleep that night as the sparklings kept squeaking in their sleep and she woke them to calm them down.
"Elisa why didn't you come get me? I would have helped." Optimus explained as he started to feed Orion that came up to him first.
"I don't know." She muttered quietly. Megatronous kept licking at her wrist in apology for his late night antics, but she wasn't mad, she was just tired. She was determined to do her best with her sparklings because if her Carrier could raise two sparklings while in the middle of war then she could raise four in a time of peace. Once feeding time was over they started playing with each other as Elisa watched with Ratchet not too far behind.
"Everything alright Elisa?" Ratchet asked coming up behind her.
"Yeah fine." She said quietly. Ratchet could sense an angry tone, but he didn't say anything about it just yet. Elisa didn't venture outside like she normally did as she was too tired. She was starting to fall asleep when an explosion went off making them both jump. They looked outside to see rubble and dust everywhere.
"Optimus is everyone alright?" Ratchet called out. He heard nothing but static when shots rang out.
"Dragons!" Elisa cried out as she grabbed the sparklings into her arms. They all squeaked and squirmed in protest as they both scrambled for cover, but took a tumble when red fire shot at the wall in front of them.
"Hello sister." Pheonix said smugly as Elisa turned and saw her grin. "I guess Prime was good then huh?" She added pointing to the sparklings. She clutched at them harder when Ratchet jumped in front of her and charged at Phoenix with his blades. She easily dodged his blows and was sent flying with a hard hit to his back by her tail. Phoenix charged at Elisa and grabbed at the first sparkling she could.
She grabbed Moonlight.
Elisa roared in fury and tackled Phoenix to the ground, grabbing her throat and bitting hard into her shoulder as they tumbled and Moonlight was released. Elisa dragged Phoenix outside and pinned her down by stomping on her shoulder. Raising her fire claws, Elisa went to strike when a giant claw snapped around her wrist and dragged her backwards. Elisa bit at the claw which was attached to tail and Nemeisis yelped in pain as he was getting dragged down. He whacked at Elisa's head and shoulder with both hands and she only grunted as she continued to fight him. Fire claws dug into her bad leg making her fall as Elisa looked up and roared at Phoenix trying to get her to fall back. It failed miserably as Nemeisis hit at her back again and when Elisa went to snap at him as Phoenix did the same thing.
Before more blows could come suddenly the two dragons were dragged back by Galvatron and Cyclonus as they protected Elisa. Galvatron fired at Phoenix making her hiss and fall back while Cyclonus attacked with fire claws so fast Nemeisis had fall back as well. Elisa scrambled back inside the base and collected her sparklings and looked over Moonlight. His ribcage already had a bruise and he was quietly moaning in her hands as she cried and nuzzled him. Ratchet groaned as he got up and looked outside as Megatron and Optimus were hurrying over to him. Megatron went past them and they looked to see her upset and holding Moonlight.
"Elisa…" Megatron called out. Elisa only glared at him growling. She didn't want anyone near her sparklings now. Not her Carrier, not their Sire, nobody. "Elisa, it's ok." He said calmly. She only growled further baring her fangs.
"Get away." She growled deeply, but Moonlight squeaked again and she started gently licking his face as she started crying again.
"Elisa, give me Moonlight please." Megatron practically whispered. She took a deep breath to steady herself as she handed Moonlight to Megatron with shaking hands.
"Pheonix grabbed at him." She explained quietly. He only nodded as he took the sparkling and handed him to Ratchet, who started to scan him.
"Let me take a look at you pretty girl." Knockout said gently as he tended to her bleeding leg.
"He's got a broken rib so no roughhousing." Ratchet said as he handed Moonlight back to her.
"Thank you." Elisa whispered as she cradled him. The other sparklings stayed close as if they knew he was hurt and when Elisa set him down to sleep Neytiri and Orion snuggled up to him while Megatronous licked at his neck and face before sitting down and standing watch. Elisa did the same thing as she laid down and watched over them giving out kisses every now and then.
"Who are they?" Smokescreen asked coming up to them as he hadn't seen them before.
"Magma's muscle so to speak." Megatron grumbled. He caught a glimpse of Optimus next to Elisa watching the sparklings and rubbing the back of her neck.
"So what does that mean?" He asked curiously.
"It means Magma is building his tribe back and there's one member we haven't seen yet." Galvatron answered,
"Who's that?" Megatron and Smokescreen asked at once.
"Mecha."
Yes I know Neytiri is from the movie Avatar but I just love the sound of it. I think it's such a beautiful name. Hope you enjoy the chapter. Go see Jurassic World!
