Chapter 26
"No! Father!"
"Thundercracker, stay there! Stay Quiet!"
His father shoved him in the closet and turned to the figure that had appeared in the burning doorway. "What do you want?" he demanded.
"Where is the Dead Matrix?"
"Are you crazy?!"
"Tell me! Where is it?!"
His father was being hoisted into the air by his neck, choking.
"I am the Cybertron Deputy Commander! Tell me!"
His mom was already butchered. His father was dying in front of his eyes. He couldn't stay quiet any longer.
"Father!"
Thundercracker trembled as his memories haunted his nightmares. Nearby stood First Gunner, Galaxy Convoy, and Dreadlock. First Gunner was using a sensor to read what was happening in Thundercracker's dream.
Galaxy Convoy sighed, "So, that's why he became a Destron."
First Gunner nodded, "Ironic, isn't it? He started to work for the very people who killed his family."
"I don't understand," Dreadlock said, confused.
"Dreadlock," Galaxy Convoy explained, "Master Galvatron used to be a Cybertron. Then, one day, he betrayed us, massacring thousands." He nodded towards First Gunners monitor. "I never even knew he did this. He must have done it before I was forced to banish him, when he was still a Cybertron. When he reformatted and resurfaced as Master Megatron, almost anyone who knew his previous identity had either joined him, or had been killed."
"I see," Dreadlock said, nodding. "And Thundercracker isn't one of them."
"The only ones who currently do know are Galaxy Convoy Soushireikan, Guardshell, and myself," First Gunner said, and then turned to Galaxy Convoy. "I've been monitoring his vitals and memories for some time, but I'm still not sure how well he'll recover. Worst case scenario: he'll remain like this for the rest of his life. Most likely, he'll be paralyzed, only able to move his head."
"What's the best case scenario?" Dreadlock asked.
"That was the best case scenario," First Gunner answered.
Galaxy Convoy shook his head. "How did this happen?"
"Well, from what I can tell from his memories and from his condition," First Gunner explained, "Chromia opened a Fire Space Warp Gate inside of him. It ended up inverting his physical form and transporting him to Iacon. There may also be side affects on his mind too. When he does finally wake up from this current coma, I'm not confident that he will be sane."
The Cybertron in front of him, the one who had just killed his father, he looked familiar. He knew that Transformer.
The same Transformer, laughing while Chromia opened the Warp Gate, splitting him in half.
The same Transformer.
The SAME Transformer!
Master Galvatron!
"Um, Soushireikan," Dreadlock said, nervous. They all turned to see Thundercracker bolt upright, growling furiously. An aura of furry engulfed the Destron and burst outward as he screamed, sending equipment flying and slamming the three Cybertrons against the wall. Thundercracker stood heaving, a wild look in his optics.
"I think we have a problem," First Gunner remarked.
One thought ran through Thundercracker's mind until he began to repeat it over and over vocally, growling.
"Revenge... Revenge⦠Revengeā¦"
