1st Person pov

" Thanks goodness for some peace and quiet, house guest can be such bother" Ratchet sighed finally, getting back to work. As for me, i was chasing after that silver piece of scrap, but somehow i ended up losing it. Groaning with anger, i stormed off back to the main room, but then i heard that familiar scrapping, tapping of metal, seeing it run right under me and toward the main room.

"You piece of little scrap, get back here! " I called out, running after the thing. I swear it was like i was a human chasing after a dog or cat, whatever it's called. The metal was clattering and heard ratchet .

" What? " Guessing he shrugged it off before the scrapping metal thing made the noise again by tapping, causing ratchet to look up again.

" Optimus? Cyber?" Of course using my nickname, the only time he uses it is when he is worried, before that time i finally spotted the little bugger, seeing it run toward ratchet.

"Grandcarrier! " Ratchet gasped as the thing jumped at him, i moved to smack the thing away from ratchet, growling .

"By the allspark!" The thing came at me for once and i smacked it across the room as if it was a ball. Playing a little dodging with the tiny scrapper, i moved quickly, seeing as it lost interest as it went after my grandcarrier once more.

I Saw ratchet move out of the way, before the thing leaped at ratchet again, while ratchet was blocking his head and pushing the thing onto the catwalks, he reached over and grabbed a pipe and started to swing it at the thing while the metal thing was dodging the swings. I grin, trying not to laugh. Holding in this laughter i got up and ran to my grandcarrier, but froze when the thing sliced an equipment up " I NEEDED THAT!" I winced and saw the anger in ratchet optic's.

I saw the thing jumped at ratchet, no longer having his pipe. I ran over to him and kicked the tiny metal thing away from him. before it could jump at us, optimus came and shot it, while it was gaining it strength, optimus took his sweet time walking over and stepping on it " And stay broken" Ratchet said.

" Now, Question, What could have caused that?" I had to ask it, really i did.

"I have a grave suspicion, ratchet, cyberstep " Optimus looked at ratchet and me, before looking at the tiny thing that was no clearly broken " Dark energon" I shivered at the words.

I tensed once more, clenching my chest, now feeling the pain within my spark. Ratchet looked over with confusion before realizing it, he ushered me over to the medbay area and forced me to sit down.

I watched as ratchet open my chest plates, before scanning my spark. With a sigh of relief, ratchet nodded " Good, no cracks. You need to explain, now!" Ratchet said, sound a bit angry from not my explaination. I sighed and closed my chest plates.

" The unknown bond been feeling cold, meekly there, like my carriers. " I managed to explain, ratchet frowned.

' bingo... i knew it ' I watched ratchet turned to optimus, both sharing a glance as if they were having a silent argument or conversation. Before i knew it they changed the subject very quickly.

" IF the residue from on arcee brought cliffjumper to life, it would stand to reason that the same substance brought cliffjumper back from the dead" Optimus pointed out, My jaw dropped before i remember something.

"Wait.. If that was possible then carrier must of been with cliffjumper when he was brought back? " Optimus looked at me before nodding his head

" Since your carrier has knowledge of that as a scientist and a inventor, it would stand to reason he would reject the idea of bringing one from the dead back to life " I nodded my head in agreement as ratchet hummed softly.

" That would account for his life signal inexplicably coming back online, but dark energon?" Ratchet asked. " It's so scarce as to be virtually nonexistent. What would it be doing on earth? "

" It was transported... by megatron " Optimus said calmly.

"For what purpose? "

" To conquer this planet by raising an army of the undead" Ratchet looked at optimus, he knew there was something more to it and they both had the idea of it, one that included my carrier in it before i began to chuckles, they looked at me

" Well, megatron will need to break quiet a few toasters ovens. " I heard a chuckle from ratchet who nodded in agreement with me

" I mean, where on this world would he find that many cybertronian dead?" Ratchet pointed out in a question.

We heard a group of engines revving in, I look toward to the entrance, to greet the sight of arcee, bulkhead and bee with thier human companies. As they laughed, getting off/out of the vehicles. I listen to the kids happily having fun. I watched as bulkhead buckled inward before pulling something black out and handing it to miko, she laughs and grabs the black case.

" Autobots prepare to"

" Roll out? " Arcee raised an optic ridge

" Remain here, Ratchet, Cyberstep, you'll both come with me. Arcee, we'll be outside communications range for some time, so i'm putting you in charge. " Optimus spoke. I stood up and followed my grandcarrier, ratchet, to the ground bridge controls.

"Dude, you're biggest. You should be the boss"

" Um, He never picks me" I rolled my optic's and chuckles.

" Optimus, with all due respect, Playing bodyguard is one thing, but babysitting's another. Besides, ratchet hasn't been in the field since the war, And cyberstep never been in the field besides recon and scouting, If horizon found out, He'll have your helm" Arcee said, pointing out the options here. I glared at her and pouted.

"My pistons may be rusty but hearing is as sharp as ever." Ratchet snapped

"Beside, it's time i learn to fight, on experience side, Not on the side lines." I said calmly, crossing my arms.

" Cyberstep is right, he needs to battle, he is of age now to fight as an autobot. For the moment, it's only reconnaissances" Optimus agreed.

" Then why do i hear an edge in your voice?" Arcee asked with concern.

"Arcee, much has changed in the last 24 hours, and we all need to adapt. Ratchet, bridge us out" Optimus ordered, Ratchet started up the ground bridge. Once the ground bridge started up, we head toward it, going through it. While walking through the ground bridge, i pulled my visor off and rubbed my red optic's

" You should keep those on, just in case we are being watched " Optimus spoke, i nodded before placing my visor back off

" Yeah, i know." I said softly.

I could tell optimus was slightly scared for the choice he made. One of the many reason to never go up against a carrier, even when the carrier is a seeker. Seeker carriers, as i learn, are the most dangerous mechs or femme's to be known for, They wont be afraid to rip or chew out another mech or femme if their sparkling, or sparklings were harmed or damaged but to me, the look in optimus optic's show he was gonna be chewed out by my carrier. Ratchet can only smirk at the thought before his smirk turned into a terrifying frown, he knew he was too gonna get chewed out but not as much as optimus was gonna be.

We finally stepped out of the ground bridge and began to walk, no one made a sound, the howling wind was enough to send chills down my back struts. I looked around, listening to the tiniest sounds before i jumped at ratchet voice, sending a scolding glare at him "Optimus, what do we hope to find here?" Ratchet asked.

"A site of the largest cybertronian battlefield in this galaxy." Optimus spoked.

"On earth?" I asked

" You must be joking" ratchet finished. We continued to walk down the path, following on optimus, i was growing more confused

"Do you recall the period late in the war when both sides began hiding their energon spoils off world" I shook my head softly, never hearing this before

" Of course" Ratchet agreed " It's the reason energon deposits exist on planets such as this one." Optimus nodded

" It is also the reason battles came to be waged on planets such as this one, and i fear megatron's memory is as long as history." Optimus said, stopping.

I stopped in my tracks, grasping my chest and gasping in pain. My vision color was changing again from red to purple, shaking my head, i felt ratchet holding me up. My legs were at the point of giving out, the unknown bond was growing stronger as if it was moving toward up. Optimus looked over at me, walking over to hold me up, ratchet ran his scans once more but ended up not finding anything.

We stayed like this for a while before i nodded my head, i was able to regain my strength, stand up talk as optimus and ratchet pulled away from me. We began out walk once more to our designation location.

-(Nemesis)3rd person-

Horizon hang from the chains, wings lower on his back, He weakly lifted his head up and saw starscream, tensing up, the only thing coming to his processor was another interfacing. He shook voilently before he saw starscream turn around and smirk before screamer turned toward the vehicon who brought in a human.

" Agent... fowler?" He mumbled weakly. The Vehicon dropped fowler onto the ground as he stood up " Welcome... agent fowler."

" You treat all your guests this nice?" Fowler asked, looking at horizon, slightly frowning.

Horizon once bright blue optic's were no longer brighten. Liquid substance and energon was leaking from horizon mouth, but the same thing happen between his legs. Horizon tried smile, glad to see a friendly face, but unable to. Starscream chuckles " Any friend of the autobot's "

" Autobot- that one of them coin-operated-was-my-own-car places?" Horizon coughed, before chuckling weakly.

" g...good o...one " Starscream looked clueless before leaning in

" Oh, so that's how it's gonna be, hmm? Apparently, no one has told you, i have no appreciation for human humor. Make our guest comfortable" Starscream said, walking away.

Horizon watches, coughing once more before purging up the purplish-blue substance from his tanks. Horizon watches as the vehicon walked over, picking fowler up and chaining him up, As soon as the vehicon finished, it left the room, leaving them alone. " So this is were you been?" Horizon nodded his head

" Not some... something you should expect " He answered.

"You son is sure a handful" Horizon nodded." Hey... the bot's will get us out of here " Horizon shakes his head and smiled weakly at fowler. He felt another purge coming up but he forced it down, knowing it was bad to keep the purge in.

Few moment later, horizon watched the decepticons come back with starscream, lowering his head " Agent fowler, i have one single request that will save your family the pain of grieving.. Tell me the location of the autobot base. "

" No problem, but i need to ask you something first" Starscream frowned, horizon smirked weakly.

" Yes? i'm listening." Horizon weaken smirk widen "I got an issue with the customer service around here. Could i speak to the manager?" Horizon began to laugh weakly, the humor of how he missed it. Starscream growled as one of the vehicons walked over and punched the side of where horizon tanks where, making purge up the energon and purplish-blue substance, coughing slightly.

"I make the decisions here! I am in charge!" Starscream yelled, making horizon flinched in fear. " Bring the prod" Starscream order, Horizon sat there, watching them bring in the energon prod. " I asked nicely one last time - Where is the autobot base"

" sure thing, buddy, Right after you eat my star-spangled shorts." Fowler said, starscream brought the energon prod, electricity crackled from the glow of the energon, while starscream pressed it against fowler stomach area, causing him to yell.

"As i imagined, energon and human nervous systems don't mix" Horizon watched and whines. His optic's widen in fear for fowler. " Isn't that right, horizon?" Starscream asked, horizon kept his mouth shut, not wanting to receive any punishment

-(Canyons ) 1st person-

The wind was still howling as we walked, i could feel the fear coming from my carrier bond, trying to send as much comfort to him as possible. As optimus came to a stop, i looked over, seeing the grave filled with cybertronian bodies. I tensed slightly, frowning at the sight. Ratchet set a servo on my shoulder in comfort, nodding my head slightly.

"For the first time in my life, optimus, I had hoped that you were wrong." Ratchet said, with hope. I nodded my head in agreement

" I just can't believe, this war has been going on for so long " I pointed out, taking a few steps before stopping beside ratchet. A pair of jets sounds caught my audios, looking up to see a jet fly by and transforming on top of the cliff

" Optimus, been well? I see you brought you trusty watch dog, I was certain he's be convalescing in the scrap yard by now, and what's this? A new member of the autobots? " I growled, taking a step forward, something about him made my spark clench in fear before i knew it, all anger rose up inside my spark.

" What Did You Do With My Carrier, Fragger?" I roared out with an anger questioned, ratchet pulled me back. The shock went through megatron before he grinned widen but he never answered my question.

Ratchet pulled me by between him and optimus " Why don't you invite him down here for a chat " Ratchet slammed his fist together twice before you hear popping sounds coming from ratchet fists.

"I know why you're here, megatron." Optimus said of a matter of fact.

"Hardly a surprise, optimus. After all, you and i have been at this a long time, and your time has come to an end." My optic's widen as the sight of the dark energon shard. My spark raced before i knew it, my vision once more turned from red to purple, truly my blue visor was changing it's color as well, but i shook my head, something in my spark was making it hurt.

Megatron notice this, grinning widen, tossing the shard into the ground as it sunk into the ground. ' scrap ' " Cyberstep, stay back as backup " I nodded my head and stepped away for a bit, crossing my arm. I looked up at megatron, his frame was the same built as mine, His optic's were the same colors, even the helm and faceplates, matched. I began to piece it together and before i realized it... Their secret, the autobot secret that was hidden from me. The bond to him... to megatron. He is...

I clenched my fist tightly, now knowing the truth. ' i can not blame the autobot's nor my carrier. They kept this a secret from me, i understand why now. Megatron... is my sire. My mech creator. He's only want the planet, nothing more. I am... his son, The prince of decepticons. '. I growled lowly and dangerously.

Ratchet and optimus stood there watching, however i activated my weapon, raising my arm up, lightly touching the hidden brace as it transformed into a sword. The blade was gold, blue CNA energon flowing through it. It glowed brightly while the autobot symbol on the middle of my chest glowed brightly with it. I was linked with it, the small practicals in the energon that flowed through the blade was a small sparked shard. Impossible right, Wrong. When your carrier is an inventor and scientist, he knows how to build, test before putting it to use.

I watched the ground erupted into purple lights, cybetronian hands began to come out " Rise, My Army!" Megatron called out, raising his hands into the air. I growled loudly. After what seems like moments, the undead began to emerge.

" By the allspark "ratchet whispered in shocked. The undead was growling, closely to a low roaring sound. Cyber stepped beside them and glares at megatron .

" Behold... The power of dark energon!" Megatron yelled.
