Oh man, no day could match when Aquila was told the truth. She was fourteen when it happened. The rest of us were twenty one, and starting to get lives of our own. I had moved out shortly after Chameleon left, but Andromeda stuck around to learn more from papa and Uncle Slick.
Anyway, it happened when Aquila went on her first hunt. She could fly perfectly then and she had gotten much bigger, so she couldn't sit on the table anymore (Ha, victory is mine, Bird Girl!). Her senses were extremely fierce, except for her sense of fashion, which was always off a little. Hey, I got no room to talk, so…At any rate, papa and Aquila stopped by at an abandoned area of Cybertron, which was filled with those freaky alien things that created us. They were destroying our home land, killing the last femmes along the way.
Papa and Aquila separated to get some more territory, but someone else was there. Another hunter, a rogue one, which put Aquila in danger. We later found out that it was one of those aliens framing a rogue hunter for it, but still, papa pummeled the sanity out of it later. As Aquila was on the look for prey, the quintisson (or whatever they're called) attacked her out of nowhere. Aquila tried to fight it off, but couldn't. Papa heard her calls for help and came to her aid.
"Back to the ship, now" he instructed.
"But dad-".
"GO! NOW!".
Aquila didn't argue. When she was away, the dying alien admitted its sinister intentions.
"You'll have to tell her now. She's the only femme beast morph out there. We thought we killed them all off, but I guess we missed one".
"Why are you after her?!".
"The only…femme…Best Morph. I'm not the only one. There are others who will be after her…bounty hunter".
"You disgust me!" papa snapped its neck.
He went back to the ship, where Aquila was waiting, along with mama.
"Lockdown, you're alright!" she hugged him tight.
"Don't worry, that one ain't gonna bother us again. Aquila, we need to talk" he gazed down at mama, "Preferably alone".
I like to think mama knew what he was intending, so she left with no questions asked.
"What is it, dad? Why was that hunter after me?".
"It wasn't a hunter, Aquila. It was a quintisson, looking for femmes to kill".
"Why me though? Mama was here too, and he didn't even bother to go toward the ship. It was going after me specifically. Why?".
The truth had to be told, and it had to be told now.
A/N: Oh, the drama of it all! Next chapter, Lockdown tells Aquila the truth!
