Sorry guys for not updating! :(

In this chapter there will be some major foreshadowing of what's gonna happen next so be paying attention. Oh, and there's going to be alot of out-of-characterness in this chappy.

Autobot-Blurr 221: Haha yeahhhh they're gonna have fun with this (not) And thanks! :)

"Brains…how much did you guys hear?" Techna asked sheepishly. Brains clenched his fists as his twin stood up slowly. They both felt betrayed by what they'd heard. Techna had decided to hide the fact that their Carrier was alive from them. The femme looked truly worried and guilty about them but they were too angered to see it.

"Enough to know that you're trying to hide the fact that we actually do have family!" Wheelie snarled. Techna's spark sunk at his words. The base was deadly silent for a minute. When Jazz and the humans came in, they froze at the tension in the room. Techna looked away and sighed.

"I'm only trying to protect you two." She said quietly. She transformed and flew out of the base. Starscream turned to Jazz with a slight glare.

"You were supposed to keep an optic on them, Jazz." Starscream said with a serious tone. Jazz looked down nervously but the humans stepped forward.

"Don't blame Jazz, we were the ones who helped them sneak away." Jack stated defensively. The humans nodded and Jazz smirked. Humans sure were protective of their friends. "Besides they needed to know this. But the way they yelled at her was inappropriate!"

"Hey, whose side are you on?" Brains asked. Jack rolled his eyes but didn't respond. "But why the frag would she hide the fact that our Carrier's alive?"

"When Techna saw Firestrike it was during a battle with their decepticons. She was fighting their dimension's version of me and losing. When Techna was about to be killed Firestrike attacked him, threatening to kill him if he touched her again. It hurt Techna to see that her own Carrier left and never returned even though she had her memories. She didn't want you two to be hurt. We were hoping to tell you once she returned but those plans were blasted all to pieces." Starscream informed. The computer beeped and the autobots turned to see what was going on.

"Decepticon activity nearby Techna's location!" Ratchet exclaimed.

**In the desert, outside Jasper, Nevada**

Techna sat on the cliff with her knees pulled up to her chassis. She felt so guilty for not telling the twins the truth about their Carrier, but she was more concerned as to why Megatron let her believe that Firestrike was offlined. She couldn't wrap her processor around it, why didn't he tell her? Why did he allow her to believe that he and the twins were her only family? There was a tug on the end of a bond she had long forgotten and ignored it. She heard someone transform and walk up behind her.

"Why didn't you tell me Carrier was alive? Why didn't you tell me?" Techna asked, instantly knowing that it was her Creator. Megatron froze in his steps, not expecting his daughter to know. "Don't bother denying it, I saw her while in the other dimension."

"Other dimension?" Megatron asked curiously. Techna turned and glared at him.

"Yeah the other dimension. By the way, the others told me what happened when they asked you for help. What happened to my Creator, the one who would crawl to the moon and back again for his family INCLUDING the twins?" She stood up and faced him, her fists clenching. "You never really cared for us, did you?"

"Techna I-" Megatron started but was cut off.

"You also never told me that Orion's my uncle. You've hidden lies and secrets from your own family! What makes matters worse is that you left me for dead! Your own daughter! Why Creator?" Techna demanded. Tears were starting to form in her optics. Because of him her life was falling apart before her very optics and it was killing her. "Can't you just end this stupid war and go back to your normal self?!"

"Techna this war has gone too far to end peacefully." Megatron said, his coldness melting away. He put a servo on her shoulder but she smacked it away.

"You and I both know that's a load of scrap, Optimus has been wanting this to end peacefully ever since it began! Open your optics, Creator!" Tears ran down her cheekplates as she finished. Megatron, surprisingly, wrapped her in a tight hug which had Techna stunned. How long had it been since he actually comforted her?

"I'm afraid that's not going to happen." The warlord whispered before backing away. He transformed and flew off just as a ground bridge opened nearby. Techna fell to her knees and began crying, not even noticing the Autobots running through to her "rescue". Starscream ran up and tried to get her to talk, but she refused to say a word. Optimus and the other searched and scanned the surrounding area for the mystery con but he had disappeared. Techna tensed as a needle was injected into her neck and she found sleepiness taking over.

Starscream, after Ratchet had sedated Techna, carried his femme along with the others, back into the Autobot base. The humans and twins stared in shock seeing the dried tears on the seekers faceplate. Not even Wheelie said anything as Techna was taken to her room by her fiancée. When Starscream entered her room he closed the door and laid her on her berth. He sat next to Techna and softly stroked her cheekplate. He wondered who could've caused her so much trauma in the short time she was with them. He stood and was about to leave when he heard a quiet whimper.

"Starscream?" Techna's voice was barely audible. He was immediately by her side as she sat up slowly. "H-He's never going to change, he's not going to end the war peacefully."

"Shh, it's okay Techna. I'm sure Optimus will find a way to stop this war without killing Megatron." Starscream paused and wrapped his arms around her gently. "It was him who visited you, wasn't it?"

"H-He knew that Carrier was alive and never told me. He never told me that Optimus was my uncle either. I don't understand why this war can't stop, I just can't understand it. Starscream…what would you do if I died during the war?" she flinched when Starscream let out a low growl.

"I won't let that happen, sweetspark. I'd do anything to keep you alive so you can see the end of the war. That's a promise I intend to keep." Techna almost started crying, knowing that he couldn't save her when it was her time to offline. She couldn't tell him that so she just snuggled into his chassis, praying to Primus that'd he'd be okay after her death.

**On the Nemesis**

Megatron returned to his ship with a heavy spark. Techna's words hurt him like a thousand swords stabbing him a once. She really wanted to have her family together again, didn't she? Looking back he wondered what the true reason he abandoned his sons was. Oh yeah, he didn't. The most likely reason was that they were becoming too like him, and he was scared that they'd turn into what he already was: a monster. Soundwave approached him with a set of coordinates on his screen.

"Is it another relic?" Megatron snarled. Soundwave shook his helm and a picture of Optimus Prime popped up next to it. "You've…located the Autobots?" Soundwave nodded and stood still. "Prepare the troops for battle, this time, there will be a victor." He only prayed that he wouldn't be sending his family to their death because of his decision, except for Optimus. The Prime could go to Pit for all he cared. His spark panged and he realized that that's not truly how he felt about him. He turned and looked out the window of the warship.

"Primus help me."

Tada! Megatron's finally starting to realize what all he's done and lost in this war! Will he decide to end it peacefully? Or will Techna still have to die? You're gonna have to continue reading to find out!
