I jumped off Mirage's shoulder as he stood outside the Academy's gates.

"I can't believe I'm doing this..." He mumbled before kneeling down and petting my head. "But...if you say it could be the very future of Cybertron...I guess I have no choice huh...?" I meowed softly to him before rubbing against his shin. "I can only assume you are trying to comfort me..." I meowed again. He sighed. "Well...Hurry back when you are done..." I nodded my head and turned, running out and disappearing down an alley way.

The All Spark came to me again, urging me to go find it soon. I knew the time of war breaking out was near as the name of Megatron started to circle around. She sounded very urgent, something must be happening in her chamber. Thank goodness she mapped a way to her otherwise I'd be gone for years just trying to find the door! I turn down another alley way before stalling to a stop as I was tackled from something in the shadows.

"Oi, Back off!" I hissed out as I kicked whoever was trying to be funny. I raise to my feet to see my attacker and I was not expecting it to be Ravage.

"You, who are you?" He said. I guess we share common dialect or something...

"It's none of your business who I am, so frag off." I was tempted to say bugger off but I know he won't understand the insult. He stared intensely at me, his one eye seeming to be studying.

"You are that Trainee's cyberpet...but I guess the whole cyberpet act was just that." I was taken back by two things. #1: How did he possibly recognize me? #2: Soundwave's in the Academy already?!

"He's in the Academy already...Then that means..." Why is this timeline alternating like this! I mean I don't know much about Cybertron before the 2007 Movie timeline but I'm baffled, this sounds somewhat to the Transformers Animated series timeline. Ahg! I don't have time to be having my nerd wars right now! "Doesn't matter I need to be going." I growled before turning swiftly and ran off, away from him. Now that Ravage knows I'm not a cyberpet I feel like I'll bee seeing more of him at the Academy...

Necrolight climbed into an open ventilation and started crawling her way through the network of conjoined vents. She maneuvered through them with the rail provided by the All Spark. She moved over to a vent that she was meant to exit it and looked through to see a group of femmes in elite armor standing by the entrance to the All Spark. Necrolight cursed before backing up and deciding to find another place to exit the vent system.

Necrolight huffed as she pushed open the grate and jumped down into the empty hallway. She steadied herself before transforming and standing to her full height. She looked around before choosing one way and walked down the hallway that would hopefully lead her to a door entering the All Spark Chamber.

"Well Hope has gotten me pretty far..." She mumbled as sh peaked around a corner. The hall was clear and she walked down it to the door to her right. She looked to the keypad and reached out for the All Spark's help. There was a small response and she punched in the symbols as the flashed in her vision. The door slid open and she stepped in to the room and gaped in awe at the sheer size of the All Spark. "That's...That's a lot bigger than in the movie..." The whole chamber could fit 5 of the movies sized All Sparks. And right now occupy it was a GINORMOUS All Spark. Covered in runes to its glory she walked over to the edge of the balcony she walked onto and peered down to see the cube in its glory.

'You have found me...!' Necrolight looked back up and cycled her optics. The All Spark sounded relieved and slightly panicked.

'Well yeah...Are...Are you okay there?'

'They are discussing my separation and sending off in the case that the Decepticons might come after me...I am worried that during my separation something may go wrong...I need a back up...' Necrolight blinked and shook her head.

'Oh nononono! I have read enough fanfics to know what happens to bots that hold anything remotely close to All Spark power. So I cannot be your back up!' Necrolight crossed her arms over her chest.

'I know but...wait how about I give you a youngling...This can be my back up and you protect it...I will make sure that my power remains dormant, so that no bot can track it...please...!' Necrolight widen her optics and brought a servo over her mouth plate. The All Spark sounded like it could start crying if it had a face.

'Ally...I'm not sure...If you give me a youngling I might grow attached to it and this might actually cause future complications...I don't know what complications but I just know this could come back and bite me...' Necrolight felt her spark clench and speed up in its humming. She did want to help the All Spark, she really did but there was no plan that could be guaranteed to work. She vented slightly and ran a hand through the white tendrils on her head like make shift dreadlocks that touched her shoulders. 'Even though I have been here for years you didn't really talk to me so that we could discuss this...'

'I...I know...But I have been busy with the birth of sparklings.'

'What do you mean birth of sparklings? I mean I know you birthed the first Cybertronians but I just thought...you know...they bonded and created sparklings themselves..' Necrolight blushed lightly as he cheeks tinted blue. She could hear Ally giggle softly.

'Oh that is how it use to be...but with the growing strikes and attacks to the High Council it has become too dangerous to bond anymore and most bondmates to Warriors and Guards have had their walls burned into their systems as to not feel the pain of their loved once during their battles...' Necrolight frowned at that and placed her servo over her spark.

'Ouch...that has to hurt them more than anything else...'

'It does...there have been cases where bondmates offlined themselves when they learned that their other half had been killed during a fight or assassinated...' Necrolight gasped.

'That's...That's horrible! Is this practice still going on?!'

'Yes it is a requirement by the High Council...'

'Well screw the High Council! How can anyone even accept that as the right way to do things?' Necrolight was beginning to understand Megatron's hate for the High Council.

'The High Council are the oldest of Cybertron...Everyone looks to them as the grand beings, having all the wisdom to know how to deal with anything...The stay High above Iacon in their tower...'

'Well those old farts need to come down here and actually see what is happening!' Necrolight felt a new fire burn in her spark as her tail flicked behind her in agitation.

'I hold the same thoughts...' All Spark said gently, Necrolight could just imagine her smiling. Necrolight's tail stilled as she smiled softly.

'I'm sure there must be a more peaceful and safe way to create a back of you though...I cannot have the thought of a sparkling of mine running a risk of being hunted because of it...'

'I understand...Oh, how about we do this...'

And that's all for this chapter~! Things are spicing up and getting closer to the timeline of the movie! Let's see what happens!
