When Smokescreen awoke the next morning, it seemed his optics to be slightly different than he remembered, he refocused them and looked around, and Lightstreak lay before him in her predicon form. He distinctly remembered her being a bot before they fell asleep. Except this didn't appear to be her predicon form either, she seemed more fleshy than hard and metallic. Suddenly she stretched out her front claws and turned her helm to face him; her optics grew wide and she began to move backwards.

"Lightstreak what's wrong?"

She gestured towards him and he looked confused, and after another gesture he looked down and fell back in shock. What was this? Why did he appear to have the same fleshy skin that she did? He took a servo and aimed it towards his abdomen, but wait hold on that wasn't a servo that was a very sharp talon.

He began to panic; what was going on why did he look like a predicon? He looked towards Lightstreak who was looking back at him, and she looked as confused as he was. Suddenly Lightstreak jumped at a small sound, and she quickly snapped her helm towards it. "The sparklings… THE SPARKLINGS!" Smokescreen skidded to a stop in front of the twin sparklings. Lightstreak nuzzled her nose into the little bundle of fleshy skin. Were they alright? She received a reassuring lick from each of the sparklings.

Smokescreen sighed as he knew the sparklings were okay.

"How about we go out for a walk?" Lightstreak asked, but she didn't speak as Smokescreen thought she would. Instead she said this through a purr, and yet somehow he could understand it.

"Sure, sounds like a good idea…" Lightstreak looked towards him; scared scrapless.

"What, what is it?"

"You just talked in ancient predicon words"

"So that must mean I'm a predicon?!"

"I guess, but how!?"

Smokescreen shrugged and arose to walk out of the cave, well he thought it was walking it was more like waddling. Lightstreak chuckled and went to her sparkmate's side; where she put her snout under his abdomen lifting him up straight on his pedes, well feet. He took one step after another and began to walk a bit more confidently. Lightstreak turned and went to retrieve the sparklings. They seemed to have the same trouble standing, just like their father. She nudged the rump of each of her children pushing them to stand on their feet.

They grunted as they took small steps forward. They walked towards the entrance towards the cave where their father sat in wait. Lightstreak walked behind them slowly following their progress.

"Smokescreen look, they're taking their first steps!" She whispered.

Smokescreen smiled and leaned his head down and met the sparklings as they reached their alpha; in which they proceeded to nuzzle his head.

Lightstreak came up to the family and joined in on the celebration; she picked her head up and nuzzled it under her mate's head.

"Let's get this show on the road; you ready?" Lightstreak said to Smokescreen.

He nodded and turned; stepping into the sun Lightstreak followed as did the sparklings. Smokescreen took down the steep cliff-face. Lightstreak began to follow until a small whimper was heard behind her. She turned and saw her children peeking over the cliff's edge. Lightstreak spread her wings and rose into the air. She snatched each of her off-spring in two claws, and flew towards the ground where Smokescreen was waiting.

"What was wrong?"

"They were scared of the steep cliff, I don't blame them, and they can't fly yet."

Smokescreen agreed and began to walk along down the path. Lightstreak nudged the sparklings towards their alpha, and they slowly made their way towards the Smokescreen's tail. Lightstreak ran up to her mates side. She nuzzled his head as he spoke, "I wonder why I'm a predicon."

"I don't know, especially since we know for a fact you weren't before."

"I also want to know if I was the only one transformed into this."

Lightstreak purred under Smokescreen's chin, "Well if it's any consolation; you look really handsome as a predicon."

Lightstreak couldn't have been more right; Smokescreen's new body glistened in the sun; White being the most prominent color, with beautiful wings with blue insides. His head was adorned with pointy spikes of various shades of red and blue, as well as his eyes being a beautiful shade of cyan. All over his body were slashes of red and blue as well. In Lightstreak's opinion he was the best looking predicon she had ever laid eyes on.

Smokescreen glanced down at her (He was at minimum a head taller than her) "You aren't too bad on the optics either sweet-spark."

"You sure have a way with words my flashy mech!" Lightstreak said before she heard a rustle in the leaves in front of them.

"Who goes there!?" Smokescreen growled.

A claw revealed itself from the leaves it was a black based claw with red and orange adorning the arm.

"It's only me, no need to fear we come in peace." A femme stepped into the light revealing the red and orange femme that was mate to Soundwave. No later than the one named "Firestarter" emerged Soundwave appeared with a small red and blue sparkling in tow.

"What brings you all the way out here?" Lightstreak asked weary of the new comers.

"Everyone has turned into some sort of 'dragon' like creature." Firestarter replied, "We wanted to come and check these woods, and the library for information on this happening."

Lightstreak looked towards the two former desepticons than towards Smokescreen, "Everyone…"

"Yes every- You know what happened don't you!" Firestarter said in astonishment.

"Follow me…" Lightstreak said turning herself back the way they had come from. She picked up her sparklings and began to rise into the air; Smokescreen tried to follow but found it difficult to get any air under his wings. Firestarter followed Lightstreak as Soundwave attempted to teach Smokescreen how to fly. When he seemed to get the hang of it; Soundwave picked up his sparkling 'Greypipe' and flew behind the learning Smokescreen.

By the time the two husbands arrived at the cave Firestarter and Lightstreak had just arrived. Smokescreen staged a fail landing and barely made it onto the out-cropping. Lightstreak walked towards the small gem she had went to the night before. She blew her flame into the gem and the cave glowed green. The crack opened again and everyone besides Lightstreak and Soundwave was taken aback. Lightstreak walked forward and everyone followed behind. When they reached the bottom of the staircase everyone again for Lightstreak and Soundwave gasped. "What is this place?" Smokescreen said.

"I don't know but I found it last night; there was a sort of drum-sound calling me, and the lights shown bright in the cave."

Lightstreak walked forwards and found the book where she had left it the night before. She pointed Soundwave towards the book, and he began to read it; from the beginning. "Soundwave, it's at the end."

He looked towards her with a look that said "Oh really, as if I hadn't figured that out!"

He continued through the book until he reached the page with the quote on it. He spoke in his natural voice since he had lost his ability to play recordings. "It seems that you read an enchanted series of words that were made to change everyone back to how they were before evolution took place, and this could only work if you were the one to read it; aloud."

Lightstreak put her head towards the ground, in a position of guilt, sorrow, and needing comfort.

"I had no idea that it would do that, I thought it was just a quote from long ago."

"Well clearly it wasn't!" Firestarter screamed at the female dragon.

Lightstreak began to cry; how was she supposed to know it would revert everyone back to their original forms. Her sparklings sensed the sorrow their carri felt and began to weep along with her. Lightstreak quickly turned to her children and began to comfort them.

"Look what you did Flame-girl, you made my children cry."

Firestarter turned to Soundwave and whispered into his ear, "Let's go before we do anything else to them." She apparently wasn't hurt by the comment about her flame ability.

Soundwave agreed and began to walk up the stair case with his mate in tow. Smokescreen watched the two other dragons leave the historical room, and then he turned towards to his ailing mate.

"Hey sweet spark, let's go upstairs and rest a bit. Besides I'm getting a bit hungry."

Lightstreak looked up hopefully and smiled, "Sounds like a good idea." Smokescreen lead the children up the stairs towards their cave. Lightstreak began to follow, but stole one quick glance back to the book that held the secrets of her past. "You coming sweet-spark!"

"Yeah, I'm coming up!''
