Okay I'm sad...still no reviews :(
Cody grew worried when he heard the sounds of crying from one of the tunnels. He thought that maybe it was someone that had gotten lost. He began walking down the dark tunnel with a flashlight in hand. The others were working hard to figure out how to bring Silverspark back before she was forced to bond with Megatron. When he found the person crying he dropped his flashlight in shock and ran up to her.
"Silverspark! What's wrong? What happened? Are you okay?" Cody asked. Silverspark opened her optics and looked down at the small human boy. Cody was shocked at how depressed she was. She couldn't even answer him without static coming out. He patted her leg with a piteous look. Her optics showed fear and depression. "Hey it's gonna be okay. I'll get the bots and we can take you inside. The twins and Mirage were literally strapped down because they wouldn't stop trying to leave without actually thinking about a plan."
"It's not going to be okay! They're going to offline him! He sacrificed himself for me…" Silverspark sobbed. Cody panicked and spun around and sprinted back to the base. He knew that she needed help immediately and apparently Starscream was also in danger. When he made it there he was panting and out of breath. Dani put a hand on his shoulder and tried to help calm him down. What he saw must've spooked him. Finally Cody controlled his breathing and took a deep breath.
"I found Silverspark! She's okay but crying and Starscream's in danger! WE HAVE TO HELP HER!" he yelled as fast as he could. Everyone stared at him in surprise, trying to understand what he said. The twins and Mirage couldn't help but compare him to Blurr. They soon realized what he said and bolted down the tunnel. Solus was at the front of the group while Nexus and Ravage freed the twins and Mirage (remember what Cody told Silverspark). When Silverspark came into view Solus slid on her knees and stopped in front of her and wrapped her in a hug.
"Sh sweetspark, it's okay. You're safe now, we won't let Megatron or anyone hurt you." Solus whispered. Silverspark continued to ramble something about the cons offlining Starscream. A pain suddenly went through her spark and she gasped and placed a servo on her chassis. The twins immediately knew what that meant. Solus looked up at Ratchet with a slight nod. The medic caught on and sedated Silverspark. When she went limp Solus picked her up with some difficulty and everyone walked back somberly. The humans, besides Cody, were standing there waiting to hear what happened. Solus laid Silverspark down where she would be comfortable and turned to the twins. "Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, you seemed to automatically know what happened when she gasped and put her servo over her spark. What's going on?"
"Siblings, twins or not, have sibling bonds. Their bond might've been closed for a long time but it's still there and considering she was talking about how they were gonna offline Starscream and the pain went straight to her spark…" Sideswipe began to explain but he trailed off with pain-filled optics. Everyone caught on to what he was saying and the mood soon became melancholy. Solus held her helm in her servos and shook her helm. A video message popped up on the computer screen and everyone gathered round as Smokescreen opened it. When Megatron appeared they all growled in anger and Solus' optics flashed gold again.
"I see Silverspark managed to return to you. I assume you want to know what happened to that treacherous Starscream. Well here he is…" Megatron growled. The view moved and showed Starscream's offline body bound to the brig wall by chains. There was a gaping hole in his chassis that went straight through his spark. The humans looked a little green and Kade had Cody turn away from the screen. When Megatron came back on screen he was holding Dark Energon and everyone froze, except the Rescue Bots and humans who didn't know what it was. "You can guess my next plan."
"Megatron I swear if you even try to turn him into one of those zombies I will personally rip your spark out and feed it to a scraplet AND THROW YOU INTO A VOLCANO!" Solus screamed at the screen. Megatron laughed menacingly and broke the shard in half. Smokescreen turned and made sure that Silverspark wasn't awake to see this happen. Soundwave, who had his visor down, narrowed his optics when The Fallen came into the picture as well. Optimus glared at his brother with all the hatred that had been built up throughout the eons of fighting him.
"You're not smart or even strong enough to do that, Solus. Stop making empty threats, it's just pathetic." Megatronus mocked. Solus immediately became quiet and felt a little hurt. Sure Megatronus was an aft and was just saying that but she still didn't like being put down. Soundwave noticed and wrapped a protective arm around her. Megatron shoved half of the dark energon into his spark chamber and the other half into Starscream. When nothing happened everyone became confused but Solus narrowed her optics. "What's going on here? I thought it was supposed to turn him into a zombie!"
"That's because that's not Starscream!" Mirage realized. Everyone turned to him in confusion. He narrowed his optics and studied the figure onscreen. "I've been a spy for too long to not know a lygarith (A/N I just made up a random word haha)when I see one. Before you ask what that is and how I know just remember that I was trained under some of the best spies who'd seen a lot in their time. One day my master told me about how his partner was thought to be offlined during an uprising. They were trying to sneak in behind enemy lines when they were both attacked. My master got away but his partner wasn't so lucky. The rebels offlined him in front of a camera and showed it to him. Then a week later he was back and unharmed."
"A lygarith…where have I heard that before?" Solus mumbled. Megatron and The Fallen looked annoyed and impatient. The twins looked back to see that Silverspark was still out cold and thankfully unaware at what was happening. Mirage had a calm look on his faceplate but everyone could see how interested he was in the current change of events. He kept his gaze on the lygarith Starscream with a trained optic. Suddenly the lygarith disintegrated into ash. Mirage smirked and shook his helm.
"Yeah, definitely a lygarith. Well when my master asked him how he was alive he explained that the night before the mission he was visited by someone and taught how to make a clone for the lack of a better word. However, he was still able to feel the pain from the lygarith but wasn't offlined in any way. When he had woken up he was somewhere safe and away from any danger. But the question still remains: why did Silverspark feel pain in her spark when the lygarith was destroyed?" Mirage finished.
"That's because we had reopened our bond so he could make sure that I wasn't hurt while in Decepticon captivity. I felt his pain and I did think that he was offlined, that is until he showed up five minutes ago." Silverspark stated. Everyone turned around to see Silverspark and Starscream standing at the far side of the room looking amused. Silverspark then proceeded to smack the back of Starscreams head. "But he didn't bother tell me that Creator taught him how to make a lygarith and led me to believe he was offlined. Why are you guys still talking to Megatron anyways?"
"Good point," Smokescreen chuckled as they ended the message. Starscream still looked pretty uncomfortable but it was probably the after-effects of the lygarith. Ratchet dragged him off to be scanned to make sure he wasn't gonna explode or something. Silverspark rolled her optics and crossed her servos as she leaned against the wall. Smokescreen smirked and looked at the young Prime. "Y'know, it's not that hard to see how you two are related now that we know you are."
"Should I be offended?" Silverspark teased. Everyone chuckled and shook their helms. Jack walked to where Starscream and Ratchet were but stopped when he heard them talking about what happened. When Starscream finished explaining how he caught Megatron treating Silverspark Jack had to resist the urge to puke. He couldn't believe what she had gone through and yet her main concern had been Starscream.
"Hey you guys, did you check the news?" Miko yelled from where the TV was. Everyone gathered around it and stared at the screen. It showed Jasper, Nevada. Or rather what was left of it because the Decepticons took over. The humans from Jasper looked away in pain at the sight of their destroyed home. There were several seekers flying around, most likely on patrol, and a few vehicons on the ground walking. That's when the Autobots realized that their cover had been blown. By now the whole world must know about the "evil giant robots".
"Terror in the small town of Jasper, Nevada. Just over one month ago Jasper was evacuated for unknown reasons. Now the startling truth is revealed: giant robots have taken over. Now we are left with unasked questions. What are they? Where did they come from? And what next? The military has informed us that they will be sending someone tomorrow to explain this mess. Tomorrow we will welcome Special Agent Fowler as a guest to speak on behalf of the robots." The news reporter announced. Fowler did a spit take and stared at the TV in disbelief. His phone rang and it turned out to be his superiors…asking him to explain the situation to the media. "In the meantime, watch your back or else where you live might end up like Jasper. In other news two children are still reported missing from Jasper. If you have any information on them please contact authorities right away. They are Rafael Esquivel and Miko Nakadai."
"You two! You're coming with me when I go explain this mess to the media. Autobots, I'm sorry but our cover's blown. You're no longer robots in disguise, you're now the protectors of Earth and everyone now knows it." Fowler stated. Raf and Miko were practically freaking out. What would their parents say? What were they thinking right now? Jack felt guilty for not thinking about having his mom or Fowler call Raf's parents and Miko's host parents saying they were safe and with him or something.
"Wait, I have a better idea to get people to understand that you guys are good and that Miko and Raf are safe. What if we bring the media and their families here and meet the bots themselves so they can explain the war? They'll get the real story and their families won't have to worry about them…well it'd be kinda hard to bring Miko's family since they live in Japan." Jack suggested. It was the only plan they had and it was actually pretty good so the Autobots and Fowler decided to go along with it.
"WAIT! I just realized something! What on Earth is Dark Energon and why was Megatron talking about zombies?" Cody asked. Solus shuddered slightly, images of Cliffjumper as a zombie flashing through her processor. The humans cringed remembering how they were chased by the zombie (and its arm) form of Skyquake in the Shadowzone. No one failed to notice how Solus reacted to the mention of Dark Energon. Soundwave retracted his visor and put a servo on her shoulder for comfort.
"Dark Energon is the anti-spark. It is the fossilized blood of Unicron himself. Legend says that it can raise the dead, and that was proven true. When I first came here I wasn't alone, Cliffjumper had come too due to a…situation with Shockwave. We were partners up until the day Jack and Raf first saw us. He was offlined and reanimated by Dark Energon as a mindless zombie who attacked everything in his path. Megatron tried to raise the dead of Cybertron too, but ultimately failed and ended up with a space bridge explosion. At one point, when there was a freak show going on with the weather, Dark Energon was coming out of the Earth because Unicron was awakening and he is the center of the Earth." Solus explained.
"And at one point I snuck out to see some awesome zombie fights and Starscream had resurrected Skyquake and there was a ground bridge explosion and we ended up in some sort of Shadowzone! It was kinda freaky since we were alone in another dimension with a zombie, especially when we shot his arm off and it went faster than the freaking zombie!" Miko ranted. Solus, Nexus, and Ravage shared a nervous look. "At least we don't have to worry about Unicron anymore! He's long gone!"
"Actually…no he's not." Solus, Nexus, and Ravage corrected together.
That makes: Decepticons, The Fallen Unicron, and the fact that they are no longer a secret.
Man that's a lot of problems.
Review please! :)
