Despite the words that Quickstrike had spoke no one knew what she had meant, the only one that knew what she meant was currently in a stasis that only she could awaken from. Firebolt had been sat beside her berth keeping a constant watch over her making sure that no harm would befall her, Sliversong would pop in every other day to see how she was doing but it was always the same she wouldn't awaken. Finally having enough Firebolt stood up and strode to Optimus's office the door opened as if on a mental command as he walked in and glanced at the four mechs in the office, not bothering to spare the other three a glance he looked directly at Optimus before saying in a calm tone
"We need to get in contact with the Nemesis as soon as possible, other wise 'Strike isn't going to wake up."
Optimus glanced at his bonded and allowed the link to open
"He knows something that he isn't telling us, and I fear that none of us will like the answer as to why we need to contact the Nemesis."
Ratchet bit back a snort as he glanced at Firebolt before looking back at Optimus and meeting the mechs optics that held curiosity
"Why we may or may not like the reason, what he says is true some one on board the Nemesis is Quickstrike's third and the longer she is in stasis the less likely she is to wake up."
Optimus mulled over the information that Ratchet had given him before he glanced at Firebolt and froze the mech knew that they had been talking through the bond, he wasn't sure how but he could tell that Firebolt knew that they were talking about Quickstrike's problem.
Wheeljack glanced at his bonded Skyfire before glancing at Ratchet and allowed his spark twin bond to open
"Ratch, I don't like the idea any more than the next mech but if it means that Quickstrike will wake up then I am all for it."
Closing the bond he knew that Ratchet had agreed with him despite the bond not been open, Skyfire glanced at Firebolt before asking
"If I may why do we need to contact the Nemesis?"
Firebolt snorted in a un-amused way before stating
"Mainly because Megatron and Soundwave are 'strike's third, just as I am Optimus's and Ratchet's. just as Sliversong is yours and Wheeljack's, we cannot pick our thirds but I will stop a member of my trine dying if I have the power to save her."
To say that they were shocked was a understatement, the full room had fell into silence the only thing that could be heard was the sound of four CPUs crashing and rebooting as Optimus asked in a strained voice
"how do you know?"
At this point Sliversong had entered the room and heard the question and spoke on Firebolt's behalf
"'strike had a vision when we were younglings, bout our thirds as she called you. What she told us made us want to drink every ounce of high grade we could get our hands on, which we did I might add. What she spoke of was a war that killed our race near extinction, a human that would destroy the all spark and become a human prime. She also spoke of our thirds and that we would find them in ten Vorns, six Orns and one Deca cycle. She knew when, where and how we would meet you she also spoke of something that would need the two leaders to unite she spoke of our deaths, she spoke of how we would die and when."
Firebolt was the only one that didn't look horrified at the news as Wheeljack asked
"What do you mean your deaths? We have only just slagging found you!"
Firebolt looked at Sliversong before sighing
"'Strike can see EVERY outcome that will ever happen that is just one of them. We are not saying that it will happen but what we are saying is unless a truce can come about then the three of us only have a Stella cycle until we die, there is no way to stop it and no way that it can be prevented other than this truce. What the two of us will show you is what made us get overcharged the other Groon when Ironhide shot us out of the sky."
With that both Firebolt and Sliversong offered their servos to the mechs before the hesitantly placed their servos in the offered servos before been pulled into a vision.
~~~~~~~~~Vision~~~~~~~~~
Energon stained the failed, the corpses of offlined mechs and femmes littered the ground. The sound of a audio splitting scream could be heard as a sword had been rammed straight through the spark chamber of Quickstrike a feral laugh could be heard as the remaining mechs and femmes tried to get to her only to be stopped by some unknown force, bringing the wounded femme to his optics a mech growled in a feral voice
"Ready to meet the unmaker?"
A spit in his face plates was his only reply followed by a snarl
"It will be a cold day in the pits before I beg for mercy, something you wouldn't know much about would you? You pit spawned glitch head!"
With that Quickstrike found herself facing the remaining mechs and two of which were her third glancing at Megatron and Soundwave she sent them a weak smile as she smiled the sword was ripped up slicing her in half as Energon sprayed over the field and her corpse fell to the floor with a sickening thud.
Firebolt and Sliversong stood in horror as the watched what had happened to their big sister the one that had kept them safe from everything and made sure that they were happy even when she was not, and now she was gone they would never see her changing optics again nor her smile. Four feral snarls could be heard as Soundwave, Megatron, Sliversong and Firebolt all charged forwards with weapons raised going in for the kill. A cold cruel smile could be seen as a shot from a plasma cannon could be heard hitting Ratchet square in the chest killing him instantaneously, rage filled Optimus as his energy blade came to life with a mind of its own as he too began charging, by the time the battle was finished only three mechs were left standing Soundwave, Megatron and Optimus the three glanced at their fallen brethren and felt a pang go straight through them as now the three were truly the last of their kind with no hope to bring back their loved ones. The three cast one last glance at each other before Soundwave spoke
"A life without them is a life not worth living."
Megatron and Optimus both nodded before the three of them raised their weapons and attacked each other effectively killing themselves as the Energon began to flow from their bodies the last thought that they had was they would be reunited in the well of sparks with all those that they had loved.
~~~~~~End vision~~~~~~
The full room was quiet as everyone was left with their own thoughts they all knew what they had to do but could they do it? They had seen what would happen for themselves their entire race was dead. Firebolt glanced at the group before speaking
"Like I said that is only one of the outcomes the next one is one that she holds dear."
With that the two offered their servos again as the four took the servos the got sucked into a vision once again
~~~~~~Vision~~~~~~~
Firebolt was sat in a chair in the rec room looking at a small sparkling playing with four others a soft smile graced his faceplates as he felt two strong arms wrap around him from behind and a deep voice spoke
"Sparkling watching again?"
Firebolt nodded his helm before glancing into the loving optics of Optimus before sighing
"I made the mistake of walking into 'strike's quarters earlier needless to say I have been scared for life. I never wanted to see my sister go at it with Megatron and Soundwave, hell they didn't even stop! All that happened was 'Strike glanced at me before saying could I close the door on my way out!"
Optimus laughed before nuzzling Firebolt's helm and sighing as Ratchet walked into the rec room and looked at Firebolt before saying
"'Strike has something she wants to show us and she seems very, very giddy about it."
Firebolt felt the Energon freeze in his lines as Quickstrike came skipping in followed by the rest of the 'cons and 'bots he was sure that he wasn't the only one that had noticed the deadly gleam in her optics as she spoke in a sugary sweet voice
"I have a video to show everyone!"
With that she placed a disk into the computer and smirked as it booted up at first nothing happened until screams could be heard
"SWEET SLAGGING PIT MY OPTICS!"
"TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!"
The only mechs that didn't look disturbed by the video of Quickstrike, Megatron and Soundwave interfacing was Ratchet, Quickstrike, Megatron and Soundwave as everyone else was too busy trying to shield their optics from such a sight, glancing around the room with a smirk that rivalled Megatron's and a unholy gleam in her optics Quickstrike glanced at the room before asking in a fake innocent tone
"Now are we going to stop annoying Ratchet with your acts of stupidity?"
A resounding chorus of
"YES!"
Could be heard by everyone as the video got turned off by a vastly amused Quickstrike who glanced at Ratchet and smiled before stating
"We look after our own, so since you and 'bolt are bonded that means no one will harm unless they want me on their afts."
Ratchet smirked as he looked at the full room as everyone was trying to purge the memory of watching the video from their memory chips before snorting and shaking his helm at Quickstrike's antics. Sliversong had known something like this had happened and removed the sparklings from the room before staying with them and making sure that no harm would befall them, after all he knew how vengeful his siblings could be and never wanted to on the receiving end of it.
Quickstrike smirked as a idea came to her, glancing at the room she said in a innocent voice
"And that was one of the mild ones, I would hate to see how you would all react to seeing me be tied down to the berth."
With that the room fell into silence as nearly everyone suffered from a processor crash.
~~~~~~~End vision~~~~~~
Every mech was in stitches at the vision that they had just witnessed, they would never of thought that she would ever do something like that! As they all got their laughter under control Optimus had came to a decision glancing at the room he spoke
"Get everyone into the command room we are going to contact the Nemesis."
Standing up everyone began to walk out of the room coming everyone as they walked to the command room once they had all arrived at the command room Firebolt glanced at Sliversong before speaking
"We are going to contact the Nemesis."
The reaction was what they had expected as Ironhide roared
"WHAT THE SLAG!"
Sliversong sent a deadly glare to Ironhide before venomously stating
"Either we contact the Nemesis now are 'strike dies in two Groon, three Breem and four cycles so we can either do it now or I will fly to the Nemesis myself!"
With the threat looming over their helms Prowl began to search for all known frequencies that the 'cons might use hoping to find one before their comrade died before their eyes.
