I own nothing.

This story is a G1 version of my SOTM story with themes from it as well.

"Gestalte bond"

"Speaking"

'Thought'

7.

"We should get some rest." Rad said as he looked up at the shining stars, his own eyes shining just as brightly thanks to his eyeshine. Due to the fact his mother was the goddess of the hunt he gained the ability to see more clearly in the dark in, it came in handy when tracking nocturnal creatures.

"Why should we rest?" Drag Strip growled.

"Do you know where the other two items are?" Rad retorted.

"Do you?" Wildrider countered.

"I know where to get the diadem from, and believe me, this needs specific timing." Rad explained. "It has to be done in the morning, right at dawn."

Both Stunticons conceded that Rad had a point (if not reluctantly), and they both stopped on the spot. Rad pulled a duvet out of his pack and wrapped himself in it. He looked up at the glimmering pale moon through Wildrider's windshield, giving the moon a red glow.

"Please forgive me mom for what I must do." he prayed.

"What are you doing?" Wildrider questioned.

"I'm praying to my mom, she's a moon goddess." Rad said making a gesture to the glowing orb in the sky.

"Why are you asking for forgiveness?" Wildrider asked confused by Rad's unusually despondent answers.

"You'll find out in the morning." Rad muttered as he curled up and fell fast asleep.

"-up, wake up!"

Rad blinked his eyes open and looked at the steering wheel. "Hn?"

"You said something about this 'morning'." Wildrider said.

Rad nodded as he pulled the duvet off him and put it back into his pack before getting out of the Stunticon. Both robots transformed. "Don't look to surprised with what I'm about to do." he said before seeing the tell tale glow of dawn. "Oh great goddess of the dawn, please hear this Half-blood's-sorta human, sorta Titan's-call."

"That's it?" Wildrider asked.

"Yeah, now we wait." Rad said and noticed a mounting of new energy. "Look away until she's fully materialized." he warned before closing his eyes and both Stunticons offlined their optics as a bright flash of light appeared and died down.

'Holy slag. She's taller than Megatron.' Drag Strip thought looking up the very tall and extremely beautiful woman. She was wearing a saffron-clored robe with flowers woven into it and on her golfen-haired head of curls sat a platinum crown with diamonds or crystls studded in it. "Who are you?" he asked once he was done asseing her.

The woman's amber eyes gave him a reproachful glare. "I am Eos, The Titan goddess of the dawn. Who are you?"
"He's Drag Strip, I'm Wildrider." The Ferrari introduced cheerily. He leaned down and picked up Rad. "And this is Rad White."

Rad looked up at the now stunned-looking goddess. "Hello Lady Eos."

"What did I say? You don't have to call that." Eos murmured and looked at him slightly hopeful. "There is only one name I wish for you to call me."

"Yes...mother." Rad said trying not show his reluctance for saying the word. He would after all only have one true mother.

"I thought you said your mom was a moon goddess?" Wildrider questioned confused and Rad grimaced.

"My mom is a moon goddess. Eos is my other mother." Rad explained and was awre of the growing look of jealously and contempt for his mother in Eos' eyes.

The dawn goddess stomped a high-heeled sandal onto the ground, making it shake slightly. "It's not fair that Artemis kept your heritage a secret! I had to hear it when Pheme shouted it to all of Olympus that you're Orion's son as well as mine!" she ranted.

'And I thought the Decepticons had problems.' Drag Strip thought and decided to get to the whole point of summoning her. "We need your crown to complete our quest." he stated bluntly. He promptly recoiled at the venomous look Eos gave him.

"You dare interrupt me?" she growled.

Not wanting to make things worse, Rad stepped in. "Mother, you're being irrational, my mom kept my heritage a secret to make sure I didn't get a big head." 'And that she doesn't exactly like you all that much.' Rad added silently.

Eos stared at him dubiously for a moment, obviously she already knew that Artemis didn't like her, but Rad got points for trying to be as polite about it as possible. She nodded to herself. "I will give you my crown if you promise to bring it back and you, Rad, promise to spend some quality mother-son time with me. I think I deserve that much at least."

"He'll do it!" Wildrider agreed eargerly.

Rad glared at him before smiling up at Eos. "What he said."

Eos plucked the platinum diadem from her head and it shrank down before she placed it on Rad's head. "A perfect fit." she mused to herself. "Now you take good care of it."

"I promise." Rad nodded and closed his eyes. Both Stunticons followed his example as Eos disappeared in a flash of light.

A/N: For the sake of this story, Rad knows about his full parentage. Otherwise it would be awkward if he only found out about it when Eos stated it.

Can you imagine it?:

"...I had to hear it when Pheme shouted it to all Olympus that you're Orion's son as well as mine!"

"Yea-wait, what? I'm your son?"

"Didn't you already know?"

"...no."

*Awkward pause*
