Last chapter I'm cowriting with Autobot StarRacer!
Autobot-Blurr 221: I'm sadistic to my characters aren't I? haha hmmm You'll see what will happen in the future. ;)
Techna sighed as she watched the twins play with StarRacer. Her processor drifted to her brothers in the other dimension. They must be wreaking some sort of havoc at that moment. She smirked when she remembered the time they made a mess of the hospital in Kaon at their first checkup. First Aid certainly had his servos full with the terrible twins. She forced herself not to laugh when she came back hearing that it took him and Ratchet both to finish with her brothers. Everyone noticed her amused look and questioned her.
"It's just a funny memory from Cybertron involving my brothers." Techna said with humor in her voice. Firestrike gave her a confused look but then it turned into amusement. The red seeker began laughing and was almost on the ground.
"Let me guess, when it took First Aid AND Ratchet to sedate them long enough for the checkup?" Firestrike asked. Techna giggled and nodded. It had been an interesting day for the femmes while they tried to apologize to the shocked medics. "Just goes to show, they're the image of their Creator." Techna stopped and frowned.
"Too bad he disowned them both." Techna murmured. Firestrike stopped laughing as well and her wing twitched. The ground bridge opened, but seemed white again, and out walked Prima. Techna couldn't help but smile as the Autobots walked up to him.
"Hello again. Starscream, Techna, it is time for you to return to your dimension." Prima said. Techna couldn't help but frown and glance at Firestrike.
"What about Carrier?" Techna asked curiously. Firestrike sighed and shook her helm.
"I have business still left to do here. I'll be back as soon as possible." Firestrike promised. Techna nodded softly. She said goodbye to everyone, hugging StarRacer tight. She knew there wasn't a version of her in her dimension which made it harder for her to leave. Starscream left first and ended up back in their dimension. But when Techna walked through she was in the Pocket Dimension again.
"Are you ready to know the full plan?" Prima asked. Techna turned and nodded. Her optics and expression were grim as she thought about what she'd have to give up. Her future with Starscream, with her Carrier, he brothers, her life would be destroyed. She found out exactly how she'd die, it'd burn out her spark. When she finally returned to her dimension she only found Ratchet standing at the monitor.
"Where's everybot?" Techna asked curiously. Ratchet jumped and faced her. He sighed in relief when he saw that she was perfectly fine.
"A few minutes after Starscream arrived the others were sent on a mission and he asked to go." Ratchet said. Techna hesitantly glanced over at the balcony and facepalmed. She pointed to where the humans and her brothers would usually wait. Ratchet followed her direction and growled. "I'm gonna slagging offline them!" Techna smacked his shoulder jokingly.
"No harming humans or my brothers remember?" she teased. Ratchet grumbled before typing commands into the computer. His optics widened in horror and he opened the ground bridge quickly.
"Airachnid found the children and your brothers!" Ratchet exclaimed. Techna's optics narrowed and she ran out of the base. She crept through the forest. She moved faster when she heard her brothers' shouts of rage. She held back a menacing growl when she found Airachnid holding up the twins tauntingly. Techna snuck up behind her somehow and activated her blaster, pointing it at the spider femme's helm.
"I suggest you put them down before you find yourself missing a helm." Techna growled. She then turned her gaze to her surprised brothers. "I leave for a few days and you go and get yourself caught by this con?"
"Hey it ain't our fault!" Wheelie growled.
"We just followed our guardians! You said to stay with them!" Brains added. Techna barely dodged one of Airachnid's spidey-legs. She narrowed her optics at the femme and let out a growl.
"Well look who's starting to become more like her Creator!" Airachnid taunted. Techna tensed but didn't move as a leg was pointed directly at the twins' sparks. "Make one more move and they die. Though I'm surprised they're your brothers, they're so small." Both femmes ignored the twins' growl of protest as Techna prepared her dual blades.
"Leave them out of this, Airachnid. It's between you and me now." Techna hissed. She wanted her brothers to be safe and she won't allow them to be hurt by this sadistic bot. Airachnid smirked devilishly as she tightened her hold on the bots.
"Now where's the fun in that? How about a ga-" Airachnid hissed but was cut off.
"Enough with your sadistic games, Airachnid! No one hurts my brothers!" Techna growled. She was getting tired of this spiderbot threatening Brains and Wheelie. Techna saw Arcee sneaking up behind her and held back her smirk. "Put them down, Airachnid!"
"Or what?" Airachnid dared. Arcee shot her in the back of the helm. Airachnid dropped the twins, but before they hit the ground Techna dove and caught them as Airachnid's deceased body fell to the ground. Techna smiled at Arcee.
"Thanks, 'Cee." Techna said. Arcee smirked and put a hand on her hip.
"No problem, I just wanted that fragging con dead." Arcee said. Techna smirked before glaring at her brothers. Arcee narrowed her optics as well. "Where are the children?"
"We're over here Arcee." Jack said as the humans walked out. Arcee and Techna glared at them and the children tensed.
"You snuck out on a battle, picked a fight with Airachnid, and what's worse is that you almost got Brains and Wheelie offlined! What were you thinking?" Arcee demanded. Techna glared down at her brothers in her servos.
"And don't think you're out of the fire yet, you should've stayed behind!" Techna scolded. She put them on the ground so they could be with their guardians and turned to Arcee with a sigh. "Where are the others?"
"Everyone's back at base now. Ratchet probably wants to run a scan on you and Starscream." Arcee replied. Techna sighed, doorwings drooping. She always hated checkups, especially from Knockout. When the ground bridge opened the seven of them walked into the base.
"Techna, Starscream, what happened in the other dimension?" Optimus asked. Techna's wing twitched and she glanced over at her brothers who were waiting for the story. She was nervous to tell them about Firestrike so she decided to start with what happened first.
"Well Ironhide found out that I was Megatron's daughter and nearly killed me." Techna started. She shot Ironhide a playful glare but smirked. "But the cutest little youngling femme ever came up and yelled at everyone for not listening to my story."
"There was a youngling there?" Sideswipe and Sunstreaker asked.
"Whose?" Elita One asked. Techna shrugged with an evil grin.
"I'm not saying!" Techna stuck her glossa out at the pouting bots (not including Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide, or Prowl). "Besides, her sparkparents aren't bonded in our dimension, it might have a negative effect." Techna continued telling the story up until the part in the battle where she met Firestrike. Techna's voice was faint when she continued. "I don't think my brothers should be here for the next part." The twins were about to argue but they saw the look in her optics so they left with the humans and Jazz, who had Prowl promise to fill him in later.
"Techna, what's so bad that you had to make them leave?" Prowl asked curiously. Tears filled Techna's optics and Starscream sighed, knowing that it still must be hard for her.
"When she was fighting the other dimension's version of me, Firestrike came and saved her." Starscream said.
"Well there could just be a version of her in that dimension." Chromia pointed out, hoping that it'd help. Techna shook her helm quickly.
"No, she called me her daughter while threatening him. Not to mention afterwards she told me that she had been taken there right before the explosion by the Primes. She even has her memories back. Our Carrier's alive, guys. But she can't leave that dimension yet." Techna explained. "I didn't want the twins to know because I'm worried about how they'll take it. They grew up without a Carrier and a Creator that despised them. I've been their only real family for years. How would they react to having her back?"
"Did she mention them at all?" Mirage asked. Techna had a faint smile on her faceplate.
"She seemed genuinely concerned about them. She was pissed when she found out that Creator disowned them." The bots nodded in understanding. "But I do have one question specifically for you Optimus. Is Creator your twin brother?" Everyone fell silent as Techna and Starscream crossed their arms.
"How did you-" Optimus started but realized that it must be so in the other dimension. He sighed heavily. "Yes, Megatron is my twin brother. I assume you were told this in the other dimension?" Techna and Starscream nodded, a smile spreading across Techna's faceplate. Her family was bigger than she thought and it was comforting.
"I think that is one fact that we should definitely tell the twins." Elita said with a smirk. Everyone else snapped out of their surprised state and nodded in agreement. They heard a small crash and turned to see that Wheelie had glitched and Brains was staring up at them in shock. Techna realized that they had heard everything.
"Scrap…" she whispered.
BUM BUM BUM! Uh oh, the twins heard the truth! How will they react?! Oh that's right...I know! :P But YOU will have to continue reading to know what goes down muah hahaha!
