A/N: Alright, here we go! Another chapter for dis story!
NordicAutobotGirl: :D Thanks! Ash thinks he's hot, but he's not. I'm a poet and didn't know it! XD And lol, Smokescreen-Pred-baby! Well, normaly I'd start the new chapter where the cliffhanger left off, but this time I started it differently for a change. Read your new chapter and enjoyed!
Swirlspot: No, she found him and her and Predaking are taking care of him until they find his parents. They haven't bonded with him yet, and every time Darkflame goes to the Predacon camp, she's asks around if anyone's lost a sparkling... And if you haven't watched Avatar, YOU MUST! It's so awesome...
Also, last chapter some of my stuff was messed with by the Fanfiction thing, so it didn't turn out the way I really wanted it too, so I'm going back to fix it. :P
"Predacon speak"
"Human speak"
"Cybertronian speak:
Thoughts
"Comm talk"
Bond talk
Darkflame shoved through a crowd of loud Predacons, nearly tripping as they suddenly walked off, still talking. Shaking herself, she walked over to a femme who was resting in the shade of her tent.
"Excuse me?" She asked, stopping near the femme. "Yeah?" The femme replied, cracking a optic open. "Do you know of any bot who has lost a sparkling recently?"
The femme opened both optics fully and stood, and angry look appeared on her faceplates. "What is this, some kinda joke? No, I don't. Get outta here!" The femme snarled at Darkflame, taking a menacing step toward her. Darkflame backed up. "My apologies, I did not mean-" "Yeah, you did! Leave IMMEDIATELY or I'll rip your faceplates off!"
Great Xineohp, she's sensative! Darkflame hurried away, checking her internal clock as she did. Scrap, it's past 2:00! Bringing her wings out, Darkflame flapped into the air, heading for the Autobot base.
It was past seven cycles, which meant Thanator was headed back to Darkflame's sister, Starshine. Darkflame was also supposed to give Starshine her answer on the throne, but she had been avoiding her, still worrying over Darkflame's decision.
Halfway to the Autobot base, Darkflame noticed a plume of flame shooting up from a nearby patch of trees. A few tops caught fire, and when she flew over cautiously, the female Predacon put them out. Predaking was laying in the middle of several smashed trees, Energon leaking from several spots in his frame.
"Predaking!" Darkflame gasped, sniffing him anxiously. "What happened?"
"Megatron was angry, and when he found out I failed to fight the Autobots last battle, or kill any EVER, he decided to beat me..." He coughed, Energon tribbling from his mouth.
"I think he did more then beat you." Darkflame said worriedly. "If you have internal injuries, I can not help you! You must go to Ratchet."
Predaking sat up straight, then winced and sunk back down with a heavy vent. "They will kill me and you know that!"
"Not if we are bonded. They would never do such a thing, killing the bonded of a teammember, even if they are Decepticon."
"Are you just doing this to save me?"
"No. I would have bonded with you any way, any where. Because I love you, Predaking." Darkflame curled up beside Predaking, and he vented.
"I have left the Decepticons anyway. I am not on their side anymore."
Darkflame's spark soared with joy. She nuzzled Predaking, letting him rest before bonding.
Darkflame's P.O.V.
With Predaking leaning heavily on me, we walked back to the Autobot base. It took us well over a joor, but we made it, Predaking leaving a faint trail of Energon.
We paused for a moment just outside the base's entrance. I sent a pulse of reassurance to Predaking through our new bond. He sent one back, assuring me he was ready.
We entered the base, and I immediately headed for the medbay. Everybot was quiet with shock that the Predaking was in there base. The silence only lasted a moment however, until shouting made the room ring.
Blasters whirred and charged up, and they advanced on us. Letting Predaking stand on his on, I transformed, fear welling up for Predaking. He comforted me over the bond, and I calmed, roaring to be heard over the noise.
They quieted, blasters still trained on Predaking. I stood in front of him protectively. "You can not kill him!"
"Why not?" Arcee challenged. "That's PREDAKING, the very Predacon who has tryed to kill us on sight!"
The others shouted their agreement, advancing once more. "He's also my bonded!"
My statement had the whole room stunned. Ratchet shook himself from the daze and hurried forward. "Alright, Darkflame, help me get him on this berth."
Wheeljack also stepped forward to help, and once Predaking was on the berth, Ratchet shooed us both away. We sat together, outside the medbay.
"So... bonded, huh?"
"Yes."
Arcee walked over and sat down beside me. "So how long have you two been bonded?"
I looked around. The other bots stood, more or less, in a group at one end of the room, speaking quietly to Optimus. "That does not matter."
Arcee sighed, standing and walking over to Dusk. I followed, and when Dusk spotted me, she leaped at me, giving me a hug. "I don't really care, since I don't really know your bonded, but he looks awesome!"
I hugged her back, thanking her quietly. She stepped back. "Optimus said that some of us are needed at the base for something. I only heard some, I was walking past him at the time. Want to come?"
I glanced uncertaintly back to Predaking. I had relayed everything to him through the bond, and he assured me I could go. After all, he said, I will be placed into stasis while Ratchet works on me. It is no use to have you here worrying about me. Go have fun.
I sent a thank you back to him, along with a wave of love. He replied in so, bond weakening faintly as he slipped into stasis.
Dusk, Arcee, Wheeljack, Optimus and I then entered the groundbridge to enter the human base.
A/N: Well, Darkflame and Predaking are bonded now! Whoo! Sorry for the short chapter, I have something planned, but I didn't want to put it with this chapter because that would make it super long and might be confusing, so I split them up :D
Please read and review! I love reviews!
May StarClan light your path! *Wink wink*
