After spending 2 hours getting to know Kevastana, Flowerdancer flew with Skyfire towards Kaon, it was time for the Gladiator Matches and since Flowerdancer had noted she had never attended a real one only the Holo's; Skyfire decided to take her to attend her first real match.
Soon the pair head into a landing and both transform and land. Skyfire says "Welcome to Kaon and its Gladiator Pits." Flowerdancer smiles and says, "I'm glad to finally be here Skyfire." Skyfire leads the way through the gates into the Gladiator Pits areas. Once through the gates Flowerdancer stops and turns around so she was facing where they came in through and raises her golden ceremonial mask and then she turns back around, she remembered Megatron told her if she ever went back in time to before the destruction of Kaon and goes into the Gladiator Pits areas she had to put her golden 'battle-mask' up after entering the gates as it showed she had earned the trust of Champion Gladiator.
She had beaten Megatron 300 times in Holo created Gladiator Matches so she had earned his trust, he wasn't a Champion anymore, but he still bore the title and he had told her that in her 15th year he was still a Champion and still competed. Skyfire was startled seeing that Flowerdancer put her battle-mask up and he asks, "You earned the trust of a Champion Gladiator?" Flowerdancer nods her helm and says, "Yeah I have; at least in my time even though he can't compete anymore with this place destroyed."
Skyfire was startled, but he asks, "What's his Gladiator Name?" Flowerdancer lowers her bi-colored shoulders and says, "Unfortunately he never told me his Gladiator Name. But he told me he still competes in this year." Skyfire leads Flowerdancer towards where the Gladiators were waiting and he says, "Well maybe you will recognize him among the Gladiators here today." Flowerdancer says, "Yeah I can tell if he's here just by looking as he showed me what he looked like in his Gladiator Days."
Skyfire asks, "Is he an Autobot, Decepticon, or neutral in this time? What about your time?" Flowerdancer's shoulder's had risen again and she says, "In this time he is an Autobot, but in 3 more years he betrayed us and so he became a Decepticon and he's still a Decepticon in my time. Actually I forgot there is another Gladiator that I know as well who is an Autobot in this time and an Autobot in my time as well. The other one is known as The Dark One."
Skyfire was shocked at her words, it saddened him hearing that the one she had the trust of betrayed the Autobots in 3 years time; but he was startled as she mentioned that she knew another Gladiator and that he was known as The Dark One, he says, "I know The Dark One is here, but no one knows what his other name is." Flowerdancer chuckles and says, "Out of respect for him right now I won't tell you what his other name is." Skyfire stops near a large group of Gladiators and he says, "I respect your choice not to tell me what his other more familiar name is. Well here are the Gladiators competing today."
Flowerdancer smiles and starts walking along the line of Gladiators there, Skyfire was on her Pedes, studying each one, her crimson red optics study each one, she was looking for her 2 friends among them. Finally she spotted the first one the large black Mech was hard not to notice as a Gladiator or not. Ironhide looks up when he realized that someone was staring at him, and his cheeks tinge a bit red as he saw a female Seeker who was obviously a Prime standing near him and he goes to stand up and Flowerdancer says, "That's not necessary The Dark One."
Ironhide was startled at her words, but he adjusts just slightly. He asks, "How do you know me?" Flowerdancer sighs and says, "I've known you for 2 years in this time and well many centuries in my time which is December 25th, 2339."
Ironhide was shocked at her words that he had known her for 2 years and in 2339 she had known him for centuries. He tries to think how he knew her and he shakes his helm and says, "I'm sorry I don't recognize you at all." Flowerdancer chuckles and says, "Of course you wouldn't recognize me like this as I've only had it barely a month, but you call me Littlest Flower."
Ironhide was startled; she had only had her Seeker form a month? But then it hit him when she said he called her Littlest Flower he asks, "Akadeanna is that you?" Flowerdancer smiles and says, "Yeah it's me, I go by Flowerdancer Prime like this."
Ironhide was startled as it was her, really her he asks, "When did you become a half-breed?" Flowerdancer sighs and says, "You know that Skyfire and I had a night together back on August 25th this year; that's when I became a half-breed, but not when I became a Prime."
Ironhide was startled at her words, he says, "Yeah I remember you talking about that. When did you become a Prime then?" Flowerdancer sighs and says, "3 Earth years from now on July 25th of my 18th year; I became a Prime for saving Optimus' life."
Ironhide winces at the reason and he says, "I bet you were protecting him from Starscream at the time." Flowerdancer shakes her helm no and says, "No it wasn't Starscream; on July 18th of my 18th year Megatron betrayed us and joined the Decepticons. On July 22nd of my 18th year I was protecting Optimus from Megatron and that's how I became a Prime."
Ironhide was startled and he asks, "Did you know Megatron's here?" Flowerdancer was startled and asks, "In the Gladiator Area? Or is he among the viewers?" Ironhide indicates towards the end of the line of Gladiators and says, "Among us Gladiators he's down there on the end."
Flowerdancer smiles and says, "Thanks. I was wondering if he was here for the matches." Ironhide asks, "What brought you here?" Flowerdancer nods at Skyfire who was over talking to the medics and says, "Skyfire brought me here to see my first real Gladiator Matches, I've only seen real ones that were holo recorded and participated in holo ones."
Ironhide reaches up and traces the golden mask and says, "You've earned the trust of a Champion obviously as you wear your battle-mask here." Flowerdancer nods and looks towards where Ironhide had indicated where Megatron was and she says, "Yeah where I come from after kicking Megatron's aft in 300 holo matches I earned his trust."
Ironhide chuckles and says, "So he taught you then." Flowerdancer nods, but says, "Yeah actually you both trained me. You were upset after you learned that Megatron was training me so you picked up training me too."
Ironhide snorts and says, "I should've figured if he betrayed us in your time that I would be jealous and pick up training you as well. Go on I'll talk to you later on." Flowerdancer nods and heads down checking out each of the Gladiators before arriving at Megatron and she looks at the large Mech, he sure did look handsome, not the monster that she knew as her Megatron.
Megatron looks up when he realized that someone was looking at him and was startled as he saw a female Seeker was standing in front of him and not just that she had her battle-mask up, which meant she had earned the respect of someone like him a Gladiator Champion.
Megatron asks, "And who might you be?" Flowerdancer says, "I'm known in the normal world as Flowerdancer Prime, but among Gladiators I am known as Little Flower." Megatron was startled and he says, "Never heard of you before."
Flowerdancer shrugs and says, "Yeah that's because I am not from this time. I'm from December 25th, 2339. But I do exist in this time, but I haven't taken to this form yet." Megatron was startled at her words so she was from the future, but she existed in this time, but she hadn't taken to the Seeker form yet, and he asks, "Are you a half-breed then?"
Flowerdancer nods and says, "Yes I am a half-breed I'm human and Seeker. I just got this form barely a month ago." Megatron asks, "Do I know your human form? What would I know you as in your human form?" Flowerdancer chuckles and says, "Yes you know me in my human form, you didn't have a pet-name for me like Ironhide and Skyfire do for me; but your last words to me before you left was that you would let me see the video of your matches when you returned from Cybertron."
Megatron was startled that he did know her human form, he was about to try and wrack his processor to figure out who she was, but then it hit him when she said that he had promised to let her see her Gladiator Matches when he returned from Cybertron! It was his brother's human Akadeanna! He asks, "Akadeanna is that you?"
Flowerdancer smiles and says, "Yeah it's me Megatron." The large Gladiator was startled it was her and he asks, "When did you become a half-breed? You said it is barely a month since you got this form." Flowerdancer chuckles and says, "August 25th, when I had my night with Skyfire or as he is called in his human form Skylar. I didn't become a Prime that night; not until July 25th of my 18th year that I became a Prime."
Megatron was startled, but he asks, "Did I ever tell you my Gladiator Name?" Flowerdancer shakes her helm no and says, "No you promised me in January of 2340 you would tell me your Gladiator Name." Megatron chuckles at her words and he says, "I am known as Silverlight in the Gladiator Arena."
Flowerdancer laughs and says, "Oh so you're Silverlight, I've studied up on the Gladiators of the past and I came across the name Silverlight many times, never realized it was you." Megatron chuckles and he says, "I'm not surprised. So who's the Champion you earned the trust of that allows you to wear your battle-mask here?"
Flowerdancer chuckles lightly and says, "It's you, you're the one. I kicked your aft in 300 holo Gladiator Matches and after that I had earned your trust and so you said if I ever came back in time and came to the Gladiator Arena, to as soon as I stepped through the gates into here to turn around so I was facing the gates I went through and put my golden battle-mask up and well that's what I did as soon as Skyfire and I stepped through the gates."
Megatron was startled, he was the one who she had earned the trust of, he was impressed when she said she had beaten him in 300 Holo Matches, he asks, "Were they true matches or freestyle matches?"
Flowerdancer chuckles and says, "All were true matches." Megatron was startled, she was a Seeker yet she fought him in true matches not freestyle and he asks, "Why didn't you use freestyle? Didn't I tell you that you could fly in freestyle?"
Flowerdancer chuckles and says, "I preferred to do the matches in true style, yes you told me I could fly in freestyle matches, but I wanted to face you on the ground, though my entrance is an aerial one you said to use my flight abilities and show them off in my entrance, but I never showed you in my time my entrance."
Megatron nods it made sense her words, he asks, "Will you stay and watch the matches here in the Gladiator waiting Area? I think it's better than up like in the VIP boxes." Flowerdancer shrugs and says, "As long as Skyfire can as well."
Megatron looks towards the large Mech Seeker and he says, "Of course he can watch them here too." Flowerdancer smiles and says, "I appreciate that, but I have what humans call 'a bone to pick' with you later." Megatron winces at her words and says, "Fine we can talk later about that then."
Flowerdancer nods and watches the large Gladiator head into the ring as he was called and Skyfire comes over and asks, "Shall we go to the VIP Box?" Flowerdancer shakes her helm no and says, "No Megatron wants us to watch from down here." Skyfire smiles and says, "That's fine with me. So did you find out who the other Gladiator you know goes by?"
Flowerdancer laughs and moves to watch the match and she says, "Yeah he told me," she pauses and nods at Megatron in the ring and she says, "Megatron or rather Silverlight is the other one the one who started my Gladiator training."
Skyfire was shocked so it was Megatron who started her training as a Gladiator and he asks, "Do you have a Gladiator Name?" Flowerdancer nods and says, "Yeah I actually chose your original pet-name for my Gladiator Name, Little Flower."
Skyfire smiles so she had chosen the name he had originally given her as a pet-name as he thought Akadeanna was too much of a mouthful. He looks towards the arena and he asks, "Are you going to talk to him try and convince him not to betray the Autobots?"
Flowerdancer sighs and says, "Yeah I plan to Skyfire. I didn't tell him what I needed to talk to him about, but I told him I have a bone to pick with him." Skyfire sighs and says, "I wish you luck with that." Flowerdancer smiles softly and says, "Thanks Skyfire."
