Watching as the undead crawl or climb out of the ground, i began to wonder, how deep are these undead cybertronians were buried but never the fact, This is dangerous. I stepped back, listening to their moaning and groaning, roaring and growling sounds that escaped their vocals. While they walked toward us at a slow pace.

"Megatron has desecrated the resting place of our fallen ancestors and his own. "

" Not even the dead are free from his war-mongering." Optimus pointed out. I growled not liking this, I looked up at megatron. I felt pain coming through my spark once more, tainted pain. Shaking my head, making sure my vision doesn't turn purple, before i realized... The bond was tainted by... dark energon. But how? That was my only question now.

"At last, symbiosis. I can feel it. I possess complete control over my army. Destroy Them! " Megatron yelled out. So this is what it's like, being a son of a warlord who doesn't care about his own sparkling.

" And do not let him escape!" Megatron pointed at me, I mentally cursed myself for jinxing it.

" I wouldn't run from a fight even it was given by my own mech creator!" I yelled out, vemon dripping from my voice. Optimus and ratchet were both shocked to hear this before sharing a glancing, saying they should of told me.

" Yeah, not hard to put the pieces together. " I spoke calmly toward them " But... this does not mean i hate you for keeping it a secret, i understand the reason, for that i am only angry " They both nodded, optimus set his hand on my shoulder along with ratchet. I smirked when optimus pulled out his path blaster. (Due note: I can tell some transformers weapons were based off the game Fall of cybertron and War for cybertron)

Ratchet and i both backed up, watching optimus fire the weapon, i kept my sword out, in case one of the undead was actually smart enough to go around the blast shots. " Optimus, if our combatants are already deceased, how can we Possibly defeat them?!" Ratchet asked in question. I was wondering the same thing, confused of it.

"Ratchet, Cyberstep, Retreat! Bridge yourself back to base." Optimus looked at us, I glared at him under my visor, Holding my sword on my shoulders and against the back of my neck

" No! " I said

"We shall stand with you, optimus, besides your gonna need a medic after this" Ratchet spoked up. I began standing my ground as ratchet activated his medical sword, smirking. We walked to both sides of optimus. Glancing up at megatron, smirking. I proved my legion belongs to optimus and i could see the anger raising in megatron purple optics.

I bend my knees a bit and ran over to the undead, kicking one of the undead away as optimus fires his blaster. Ratchet went over and started to swing his medical blades. Ratchet spotted a limb twitching before it offlined " I recommend dissection" My head perked up and smirked

" The smaller the pieces"

"the better " Both me and ratchet said in a union.

"Sound advice, old friend" Optimus agreed, Transforming his pathblasters for his double swords.

My optic's widen. I saw optimus fighting with his sword, slicing them in half. I shook my head and continue to fight. Swinging, slicing and growling. Me and ratchet ran close to optimus, standing in a triangle stance. I glance at megatron with optimus look at him

" I have master dark energon. When you fall, optimus, you too, shall join my army."Megatron grinned at the thought. I began to growled and ran with optimus and ratchet, cutting our way through the undead.

I stumbled a bit, growling. I felt the pain of the dark energon through the bond, looking up at megatron, gritting my dente's (teeth). The coldness, the lust, the darkness. All aching in pain. It's making my spark ache. But when i looked over i saw the undead ram right into me, knocking me down onto my back, watching my visor fly off my face and onto the ground, revealing my red optic's.

-(Nemesis) 3rd Pov-

Horizon lifted his head, hearing the sounds. His audio fins twitching weakly, boosting his audios a bit to hear better. Venting heavily, his vents on his chest were shaking weakly, energon slipping from them, his wings were no long of use and were close to falling off. He smiled very weakly, barely noticeable.

' Au...to...bots ' He thought to himself. He began to fall into stasis slowly but ending up jolting awake, to hear starscream talk.

" My dear agent fowler, you do realize the autobots have abandoned you " Starscream chuckles, horizon shivered, his legs barely helping him stand up " I am the only one you can rely upon now. So, tell me what i want to know or " Starscream raised the energon pod up. Horizon knew it was used on him as well, even in places he did not wish to speak of, shaking more at the thought, his lifeless dulled optic's barely showed hope in them.

"Please, no more" Fowler begged "They're in... secret government base " Fowler said, horizon optic's widen weakly.

" Go on " Fowler, horizon both looked up, starscream turned to her muffling blaster shots. Hope began to show slowly in horizon optic's.

"yes? "

" in the old steel mill. or was it under that carnival funhouse" Fowler joked. Horizon began to cough, slightly laughing. Starscream growled, slamming the energon pod into fowler as he yelled. More muffling firing was heard

" Someone find out what is going on out there! " Starscream commanded.

Starscream glared at horizon, causing horizon to go quiet. He shook more like quiver at starscream gazed. Starscream walked over, putting a talon on horizon jawline and pulled him close " You are lucky, lord megatron wants your spark.. unsparked. " Horizon whined, crossing his legs weakly, earning a seductive chuckle from starscream.

-(Canyon) 1st pov-

Me, optimus and ratchet began to run at the group of the undead cybertronians. Continuing to slice and dice our way through. I stepped with ratchet, forming out triangle position once more, venting heavily " Optimus, This prolonged exposure to dark energon is sapping our strength. "

" we can not falter now" Optimus replied.

We moved once more, in three directions as we slice each undead cybertronians again. Optimus was slicing and shooting his way. Ratchet was cutting and kicking them. Me, i was swinging my sword around, cutting the undead in half or cutting their heads off. As they gotten closer and closer, optimus was the first to get jumped and piled on. " Optimus! " I heard ratchet called out, getting pilled on.

" Grandcarrier! Optimus! " I called out, growling and still kept fighting.

I felt the amusement coming from megatron, i didn't like that feeling. No, I hated it. I wasn't going to be some kind of entertainment to a warlord, hunger-power creator. I spun myself, pulling out a dagger and slicing the undead away. I ran to them others, spinning the dagger in my hand and jumping into the pile that was on my grandcarrier. I knew optimus would be fine. Kicking the undead away, jamming my dagger into the undead neck and kicking it away as i growled loudly.

" After all these years, optimus, still at the top of your game" After helping ratchet up, optimus pushed himself out of the pile, destroying the remaining undead that was coming toward me and ratchet. Though there was still some left. " My legion, Finished them!" Megatron yelled out.

I began to growl loudly and pushed passed optimus and ratchet, tossing my sword and letting it spin. A small blue like chain snapped out of the brace the sword was connected, watching the blade spun, slicing through the undead. I pulled my arm back, bring my sword back, hearing the snapping sound of the chain going back into the brace.

"You would of made a fine gladiator, Mech. Tell me, what is you name? "

"Like i'll tell you!" I snapped, earning the same amused chuckled. We kept on slicing our way through the remaining undead.

-(Nemesis) 3rd pov-

Horizon raised his head, whimpering in pain. The blast fires were getting lower " Wake up, you pathetic lump of flesh "

"grandma, is it cookie time?" Horizon snorted, coughing in laughter weakly.

Starscream growled, there was a knock on the door as horizon smiled weakly as the door open to show the vehicon. " Well ?" Starscream snapped in question before the vehicon took one step and fell over with bulkhead firing his cannon as the blast hit the other vehicon that fell over.

" B...ulk h...head "horizon managed to speak.

Bumblebee rolled in, aiming his neutron pistols at starscream with bulkhead aiming his cannon. Horizon looked over. Starscream actives and aimed his thin excuse weapon to fowler and horizon " Not so fast. " There was a tap on starscream head, making him look up as arcee had an path blaster pointed at starscream face. " i wouldn't"

" Oh, but i might." Starscream said sternly.

"D..don't l..Let h..him" Horizon manged to speak once more, bumblebee buzzed toward horizon. Horizon nodded his head and smiles very weakly.

"Now agent fowler and i will take our leave "

" The emu says, ' Yeah!' " fowler had a funny way of saying it, making a small noisy yeah. Horizon coughs while he laughs at fowler little display. That little display distracted starscream as bulk and bee both fired at starscream, startling him.

Starscream dodged the shots from left to right, even ducking down to dodge them, before jumping in the air to transform and took off, causing arcee to fall backwards. Bulkhead walked to horizon and helped him down, unchaining him before walking out with the limbing and broken blue and gold seeker. Bumblebee gotten fowler and transformed around him as arcee followed to get to the other humans.

Bulkhead made horizon lean against the wall as he drove foward and tranformed over the next set of humans. The vehicon fired, only to be body slammed by bulkhead. " R..rule n...number o...one, Do..dont F..fight a W..wrecker " Horizon spoke, chuckling weakly. Horizon walked over with arcee and bulkhead in vehical mode, seeing the human children run/ climbed into/onto arcee and bumblebee.

A few moments later, they gotten out with horizon followed behind them, in his alt mode that was clearly hovering over bulkhead. They knew something was causing the blue and gold seeker to fly awkwardly, even his wings weren't suppose to twitch, shake weakly and spark like that.

-(Canyons) 1st pov-

Optimus cut through the last undead " Bravo, optimus. Though this is but a prelude. You may wish to save your strength for the main event." Megatron said, while optimus walked to the cliff side and began to climb it.

" You will not prevail, megatron" I could tell optimus was venting heavily. " Not while energon still flows through my veins. "

" Fitting, for it is dark Energon which flows through mine" Megatron said coolly.

Optimus reached up to grab megatron but failed as megatron jumped into the air and transformed into his jet and taken off while optimus began to fire at megatron, missing the hits.

Ratchet was already up top, but i stayed below. Looking at the distance of where megatron flew. I turned and climbed up the cliff, with a helping hand from optimus, just like he did with ratchet. " if this wasn't megatrons endgame, what is? "

" I... do not know " I speaking calmly while optimus narrowed his optic's.

-(Back at base) Cyber pov-

I couldn't believe, ratchet arm was broken but put in a cast and sling, walking over to bulkhead. Optimus walked over to my... carrier. I smiled and ran over, greeting my carrier finally he was home one more. I watched my carrier raise his hand and rubbed the side of my face, knowing my visor was long gone, i already had tears falling from my optic's. " It is good to see you, once more horizon, we had thought you have offlined with cliffjumper"

"Wish i could offline, but i made a promise. I vow to keep it " My carrier said, though strong words are what kept him going.

Ratchet walked over to join us, greeting my carrier with a one armed hug before carrier snapped " But! " I had to snicker, i missed my carrier buts " YOU both had no right taking cyberstep into that field! Megatron now knows he has a son and now i have to worry about my little cyber! " Carrier whined, his wings flaring out with anger. Optimus stepped back slightly scared of my carrier words " You are very lucky, optimus. I can not believe you allowed him on the field, I don't fragging care if he was at age! He's my sparkling, I make the choices. Your lucky he doesn't have a broke arm, or a missing optic, or or "

" Carrier... calm down " I said, pulling carrier into my arms and hugs him tightly.

I could tell my carrier had calmed down slightly, knowing our bond has been very close " I understand your judgement horizon, for that i do wish to apologize, now that megatron knows of your son existence, do you wish to keep in the base a bit longer "

" No... he needs to fight now. He's the only one who can... bring peace to us all " Optimus nodded his head, his optic's glinting with happiness, knowing he had earn the permission of the seeker carrier to take me... out of base.

I pressed into my carrier side, knowing i was a few inches taller then him. " What happen to you guys, anyways?"

" We engaged an army of undead cybertronian warriors " Ratchet answered miko questioned, Optimus walked up behind them.

"Zombies? You fought zombies and i missed it" miko complained.

"Bulkhead, you exercised poor judgment in allowing the humans to accompany you. However, you did bring back a fellow member."

" It wont happen again, optimus. I promise " Bulkhead said, looking at the humans

" But it wasn't bulkheads fault"

" Miko please!" Bulkhead protest, but miko pulled out her communication device and showed an image of something

" And check i out. Recon. " Miko said.

Optimus leaned over, optimus hummed " Ratchet, have a look" miko began to mess with her communication device. But i started to block everything out, nuzzling and curling up to my carrier side, careful not to hurt the wounded area's. I love my carrier with all my spark, but losing him will not happen.

I felt my carrier rubbed my back, lulling my frame, processor and spark into recharge. Last thing i could remember was, jack saying something about something then the ground bridge was opened, and jack left. I heard an audio sigh from my carrier before im completely fell into recharge.

-Horizon 3rd pov-

After horizon watched the human male leave, he sighed. Looking at cyberstep and couldn't believe it. Cyber wasn't angry with him, wasn't angry with the autobots. He had been afraid to tell the truth to his second son. Truth be told. Horizon never wanted to say anything, afraid that cyberstep would hate him and run off to find megatron.

He was glad he did not feel that. But he feared the worst to come, now that megatron knows, he was gone. All this seeker can do now, is.. protect the humans, Protect his son. Could he even dare face the decepticons again after what happen. Ratchet came over, running scans, before he knew it, he saw a frown form on ratchet face. That when he knew it... he was sparked.

Cyberstep wouldn't like this, a breeder like him... A mech who was raised by a decepticon medic, the nicest among them... hook. A brother to him. He was the one who sent out that S.O.S to the autobot's before his deactivation. Horizon lower his head, tensing at the thought. "Twins" ratchet spoke softly, not wanting to wake cyberstep.

He began to tense, his wings barely twitching but ratchet set his hand on his shoulder in reassurance, nodded my head calmly " Who's..." Horizon asked, he had to make sure but ratchet frowned more " Hard to tell... best to wait until the twins start to show." He nodded again. He looked at the screen that showed the sparks that flowed behind his golden-blue spark. One small spark was light blue, while the other was a golden-red. He knew somehow, those who may had two different sire's or the same.

The computer beeps, on the screen ratchet was at. His optic's widen " It cant be."

" Optimus!" He called out at the same time as ratchet. Optimus walked over toward ratchet. " These are the engineering specs for a space-time vortex generator."

"Megatron building a space bridge. if he hasn't already " Optimus said, while the others came in " The sooner he leaves, the better "

" Going home... seeing vos for the first time. It would be great " Horizon mumbled softly.

" Bulkhead, horizon, A space bridge runs in two directions. Megatron may not be using it to leave earth" It began to click in horizon processor

" but to bring through his conquering army" Horizon finished.

"The main even megatron referred to? But the only place megatron could possibly recruit that many fallen warriors.. " ratchet drifted off on finishing his sentence

" Precisely." optimus said.

"Not our home..." Horizon held cyberstep closer as ratchet frowned, nodding his head hearing optimus said their planet name, cybertron.
