Demolisher and Cyclonus woke up in a daze as Sideways had struck the two oafs upside the head before taking their precious sparklings. Demolisher and Cyclonus did not know what to do as they could not tell Megatron that their own sparklings were in danger as they knew they were not even supposed to have sparkmates, much less sparklings. The two, sick of Megatron and worried to death about their sparklings headed to the Autobots, knowing once they turned to the Autobots, Megatron would see them as traitors, but they could careless as they were more worried about their little sparklings than empty threats from their incompetent leader.
Meanwhile, Sideways headed on his journey toward Unicron, all the little sparklings captured in two cages, easily carried by the large bot. The girls drew closer to Slugbug while the little mechs drew closer to Kryptonight. These two oldest offered a calm demeanor in this whole fiasco, but little did anyone realize why. However, Sideways, on his way to Unicron, found one more little sparkling, a sparkling named Elixir, who was a black and silver seekerling mech and the creation of Megatron and Skywarp, but was raised by Megatron after he sent Skywarp far away. Nevertheless, Sideways scooped this little one up as he was being dropped off, the Decepticon dropping the little one off having no idea that Sideways was sparklingnapping all the sparklings to take them to Unicron.
After throwing the little brat into the cage, he could finally leave, assured that no one would see him. It was only a matter of time before Unicron would take over and these little brats would be raised to respect and bow before the "almighty" Unicron, but someone else had other plans in mind, unknown to all the parties involved.
Meanwhile, back at the Autobot base, all the Autobots were concerned for the little sparklings, as they were now at the mercy of the Decepticons and Megatron, but that was when the alarm went off at the base. Starscream took a look, and saw that it was Demolisher and Cyclonus. And so Starscream went out with Optimus Prime, wondering what these two bots wanted. Starscream was skeptical about these two and their pleas for help, but it was not Starscream's decision, it was Optimus's, and since it was Prime's decision, they were allowed to come in and plead their case. What they said shocked even the three seekers.
Demolisher and Cyclonus told of wanting to take their secret sparklings out for a walk when Sideways came up from behind, and knocked them out. When the two woke up, their sparklings were gone, but they were aware enough to see Sideways taking off with all the sparklings in two separate cages. Cyclonus sent a chill down the Autobot's spine as he remembered hearing something about Unicron. I Oh dear Primus no, please don't tell me they were taken there /i thought Prime as he realized how grave the situation really was, and when Ratchet and Red Alert confirmed the story by measuring the bots as they spoke, all the bots realized how much danger the little bots were in, and worst of all, little Sparkles and Shimmer were even gone. The worst part was that they would have no idea that their original creator was Unicron and that could cause danger (but since they were near Slugbug's spark, no one but Primus knew that they were actually safe from Unicron).
Meanwhile, at the Moon base, Megatron was growing impatient, as Elixir still had not arrived back at base, which was unusual. Elixir always arrived at the same time, or commed when he was going to be late. Megatron commed the Decepticon who had brought Elixir out here, and received a report that Elixir had been given to Sideways. Megatron, while not happy with what had happened, dismissed the bot and then went to look for Sideways, but when Sideways failed to turn up anywhere, Megatron kept looking and found that not only was his little one gone, but every other sparkling was gone as well. This pissed Megatron off as who would be low enough to steal from him. That and no one, but no one even looked at his son without permission, let alone took him. Megatron was pissed beyond belief, but he had no idea where Sideways could have taken the sparklings to, as Megatron was still unaware of Unicron, a large planet eating transformer that had sent his minion to do his bidding.
Meanwhile, Unicron, through Sideways optics looked at the little ones. He could see that they were of various stages and at various stages of development, but to his delight they were all still in the sparkling stage, the stage where a bot learns his or her role for the greater society. Unicron kept the sparklings, as he was unwilling to educate them in his ways without getting rid of the rest of the transformers. Little did they know that two of the little sparklings were going to be big trouble. But then, no one said Sideways or Unicron were the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree. But somewhere out there, Primus was just waiting to make his move.
Meanwhile, while all this was going on with the sparklings, Hotshot who was pregnant with his and his sparkmate's sparklings was not doing so well, his distended abdomen made it hard for him to walk and Skywarp had to help him out with even basic things, as Hotshot was seven months along with triplets (what can I say, the seekers have triplets in their line), and he was really struggling with it, as he was even bigger than he had been when he had the twins. The Autobots were torn as not only did Hotshot need to be protected as did Cyclonus, who was pregnant yet again (but would need a C-section for delivery) , but the little sparklings needed rescuing. The question was, how best to protect the moms while rescuing all the sparklings. Though it would not be easy, both needed to be done.
