What is up peeps?!

I don't know about you but I am in a good mood today, so I thought, why not write another chapter of TROTTF?

Review Replies:

Kamen Rider Dragon Knight: Thanks for the comment :) And how is this for an update soon? XD JK, thanks for the review!

Disclaimer: I do not own any elements of HTTYD, nor do I own Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters. I just own the natural evolution Predacon idea, and I own Talus.

This chapter takes place a few days before, during, and after 'Evolution'.

Well onto the show folks!

Take Care Now, Bye Bye Then

Chapter Two: Simple Minded TechnaFury...Right?!

Autobot Base: Two Months Later

Ratchet growled softly as he gritted his denta, this was becoming annoying fast. The TechnaFury...er Talus, would not leave him alone.

The fagging Predacon evolution was sniffing everywhere, including the very object he was working on.

Testing had shown that the TechnaFury was a femme, a very large femme to be precise. She was about as long as the Decepticon's Predacon, they were shoulder plate to shoulder plate in height, but Talus' neck was much shorter than the Decepticon's Predacon.

Team Prime didn't trust the TechnaFury as far as they could throw her at first, but that all changed when Talus saw the humans the first time.

Five Weeks Ago:

Talus was laying down and she was about to enter recharge, until a tiny sensation had hit her muzzle and she heard something yell "Oh cool!"

Talus' optics had snapped open and she looked down and immediately cocked her head in disbelief. There were tiny beings in front of it, and she thought her fellow metal beings were small, these tiny beings were like insects to her.

One immediately ran over to her and touched her muzzle, it was the same sensation she had felt from before. The being touching her muzzle had pink streaks in very dark brown...wires?

It also was wearing cloths that covered it's tiny body, but it wasn't armor. The largest one, with grey and blue cloths said "Miko get back here, we're not supposed to be in here"

The one gently toughing Talus' muzzle said "Aww come on, I don't think she'll hurt us", the being named 'Miko' turned to Talus, looked her in the optics and stated in full belief "You won't hurt us! Will you girl?"

Talus cocked her head, should she hurt them? Well they hadn't hurt her at all, the rubbing was very small, but it felt good.

Talus purred softly as her optic pupils got big, her audio sensors went up fully erect, she gently wagged her tail, and she gave the dentaless smile that she had learned from Smokescreen.

'Miko' gave a huge smile and she hugged Talus' giant muzzle as best as she could while saying "Awww, who's a good Predacon? You are!"

Talus gave a large purr as the other two being moved cautiously towards her, soon they joined 'Miko' in petting Talus' thick armor.

Two Hours Later:

Arcee, June, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee were looking for the kids, they couldn't find them anywhere. The last place to check was the...*Gulp*...TechnaFury's kennel/quarters.

Reactions about the evolved Predacon were different.

Arcee didn't trust the beast, it could turn on them in a split second, and from what Optimus and Smokescreen had told them, the TechnaFury Predacons even gave the original 13 Primes trouble.

Bulkhead didn't really know what to think, he was fifty/fifty right now, the TechnaFury hadn't harmed anyone...yet.

Bumblebee was nervous around the beast, what if it got so smart that it wondered why it had to take orders from Optimus? What if it destroyed them all while they recharged?!

June was scared for the kids, what if this...Techno-Furious?...didn't like humans? What if it had already killed Jack, Miko, and little Raf? What if it was just waiting for her now?

The three Cybertronians and June soon came upon the door to the TechnaFury's quarters and they saw, of all bots, Wheeljack looking into the quarters with a soft smile working his faceplates.

Bulkhead was about to say something but Wheeljack put up a servo and he whispered sarcastically, "Take a look at the mighty TechnaFury"

Confused, the three guardians and June looked inside, only to get wide eyes or optics.

The TechnaFury was laying down, slightly curled up, it's Audio receptors were fully erect as it paid attention to what Raf was explaining to it for his laptop.

Miko was laying on the very top of the evolved Predacon's head, on her cellphone, as she scrolled through pictures she had just taken of the TechnaFury.

Jack was laying down on the TechnaFury's right fore servo, the TechnaFury's claws were bigger than him, and yet he was relaxed.

June stared in alarm before she asked Arcee "Will it hurt them?"

Arcee looked down and whispered "I...don't know June", Bulkhead smiled softly, the Predacon could have hurt the kids by now, but it didn't, even when it had the chance to.

Bumblebee smiled as well, maybe they had nothing to much to worry about the evolved Predacon after all.

Wheeljack looked to his fellow Cybertronians and he whispered "I don't think the TechnaFury will hurt the squirts after all"

Bulkhead nodded and he agreed softly "I think so to 'Jackie, it had all of this time to hurt them, but it didn't, in fact I think it may like the kids"

June listened and she smiled softly, a bit of her fear of the thing had lifted itself from her shoulders and she thought she could put a little more faith in it.

June soon looked up to the Cybertronians and she said "Let's leave them alone for now, they're clearly bonding"

The four Cybertronians nodded and soon all five of them walked away from the TechnaFury's quarters.

As soon as the guardians, Wheeljack, and June left, Miko sat up quickly and she asked "Are they gone?"

Jack opened his eyes and rolled his eyes as Raf ran over to the door and peeked out and gave a thumbs up.

Miko jumped up and slid off of Talus' large armored head before she said "Yes! Let's get back to that game"

Talus' tail started to wag as Jack said "Alright, but let's hope you don't get nightmares Miko", Miko rolled her eyes in response to this, Talus saw this and she cocked her head.

Talus tried to copy Miko with her own optics, but she ended up getting crossed optics and the kids laughed hard as they saw this.

Talus raised a metal brow ridge as her optics went straight again and she gently snorted before she burped on all three of them, yes burped, and smirked internally because she knew of the burnt Energon and plasma smell that accompanied it.

The kids winced and covered their noses as they said in unison "Talus!", Talus gave a series of growls that sounded like laughing, something she just learned from the kids.

Raf chuckled as all three kids settled on Talus' neatly folded fore servos, it was a bit of a climb, but they settled down and Raf opened up his laptop and they resumed their game of 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2'.

Laughter and jumping was heard in the room as the kids bonded with the mighty TechnaFury.

Present Day:

Ratchet had also been studying Talus behaviors, skills, physical attributes, and compared them to what they knew of the other Predacon.

Turns out Talus was able to learn much faster than the other Predacon. Her learning curve was amazing, she could see something and nearly instantly copy it, but her curiosity was also large, so she sniffed and observed everything.

Her armor was thicker than the other Predacon's as well as the fact she might be as strong, if not stronger, than the other Predacon, due to the spare muscle cables around all around her entire body, especially her wings.

Turns out, Talus could fold her wings away when she need to, but she didn't just have her main wings, she also had two other fin like structures that helped her fly on her tail. The tailfins on the end of her tail could be folded in all the way, while the other upper stabilizing fins, could fold in a good amount, mostly all the way.

Talus' tailfins were very sensitive though, she nearly snapped at Ratchet when he examined them with harsh servos, thinking they were as near indestructible as the rest of her body or wings.

Ratchet could calculate that Talus could fly at full speed at a clocking 610 miles per hour at full speed, but when she did a straight dive for the ground her speed increased to 795 mph. An odd thing everyone noted, was that when she dived, she made a large deep whistling sound that got louder as she got closer to them.

Talus ran fast on land, she could reach about 160 mph at maximum speed and with a large stamina reserve, she could run for long distances.

Talus could also shoot fire, but it was much different than the other Predacon's.

One thing is the fact Talus could completely control the heat, level, and power of her fire. She could make it a perfect welding type of fire, to a blast similar to the other Predacon's, just blue in color, all the way up to a very explosive fire bolt that could level a multi story building.

But no matter what, the gas composition is always the same, Acetylene and a bit of Nitrogen and about 70 percent Plasma mixture.

It was confirmed recently that Talus never misses a shot, not one! That was also a funny story, Wheeljack, Arcee, and Optimus vs Talus in the practice shooting range.

Two and a Half Weeks Ago:

Ratchet was testing Talus' reaction time, turns it was good, it was great actually.

So he decided to test how good it was.

Ratchet brought Talus into the Autobot's shooting range and he explained "Alright, you listening?"

Talus cocked her head and she looked at Ratchet, whom nodded and said "Good, now, you shoot the red targets only", he held up a red circle, "Everything else, ignore"

Talus purred and nuzzled Ratchet, nearly knocking him onto his aft, Ratchet gently hit Talus on the head as he scolded "Ep! Ep! Ep! Focus on the test!"

Talus snorted and looked at the target, her optics instinctively locked onto it and she growled at it softly. Ratchet nodded because he knew Talus was in fight mode now.

He hooked the target up as well and it joined six other Red targets, Ratchet pushed a button and soon three green, three purple, and three blue targets soon joined and the targets started to move around.

Ratchet soon called out "And begin!"

Talus snarled as her optical pupils became slits, her teeth became bared, and her audio sensors were down against her neck armor.

Talus' lower throat armor that was near her chassis rapidly started to glow a soft blue like the other Predacon and the blast charged up with a long and increasing in pitch, soft whistle-like sound.

Soon the back of her mouth glowed a brighter blue and she snarled as she observed the targets, only the red ones.

Ratchet smirked a bit, he had put it on the highest difficulty on purpose, no way the TechnaFury could get them all.

Talus noticed one red target going by, perfectly placed in her mind...Now! Talus shot a small plasma bolt and it hit the red target and blew it to pieces.

1 down, 6 to go.

Talus concentrated and she soon shot another blast and it hit another red target.

2 down, 5 to go.

Talus saw a prime opportunity, and she shot a blast. It hit two red targets at the same time and destroyed both.

4 down, 3 to go.

Ratchet's jaw dropped as he saw Talus' rapid streak grow as she shot another blast, it hit another target.

5 down, 2 to go.

Talus' optics rapidly scanned the targets and she fired a blast as soon as she saw another red one.

6 down, 1 to go.

Talus looked at the rapid moving targets until she saw her last red one, wait for it! Now! She shot out another blast and it hit dead on.

All 7 red targets were taken down, and not a scratch on the other false colored targets.

Talus calmed down as the glow at the back of her mouth went away, her optical pupils got dilated again and she snorted in satisfaction.

Ratchet's jaw could have hit the floor his mouth was so big, everyone except Optimus and Arcee has never got a perfect score.

Optimus' and Arcee's perfect scores came from a good eye and hundreds of vorns of practice. Ratchet snapped out of it as Talus looked at him optic to optic, almost as if asking if he was alright.

Ratchet gently pet her nose and threw an Energon treat, of course she caught it and she ate it with ease, she swallows the thing whole.

Ratchet's thoughts were broken when he heard Wheeljack, whom had come into the room, say, "No way, someone beat my high score?"

Ratchet turned to Wheeljack and he smirked a small bit before he commented "Indeed Wheeljack, by the Predacon", he gestured his helm to a sniffing Talus, she was sniffing a piece of exploded red target that she had caused.

Wheeljack's optics narrowed playfully before he said "Oh it is on now"

Talus and Wheeljack went head to head for about six rounds, Talus won four rounds, and the other two were a tie.

The rest of Team Prime got curious and looked at the matches, soon Arcee challenged the beast, and of course it was a tie for all three rounds between Talus and Arcee.

After much pressure and encouragement from the rest of the team, minus June cause she was at work, Optimus challenged the mighty evolved Predacon.

They went for four rounds and it was perfect ties as well.

This all led the team to the conclusion, TechnaFuries never miss a shot.

Present Day:

Ratchet sighed in annoyance as he felt Talus start to smell his typing digits, Talus grumbled as she looked at Ratchet with an odd look.

Talus then snorted and trotted over to the middle of the walkway before she laid down, curling up slightly, and shut her optics, wanting to go into recharge.

Ratchet sighed and entered his login code because the computer terminal had fallen asleep.

Unnoticed to Ratchet or any other bot, one of Talus' left optic opened and she observed Ratchet typing, she remembered every code and pattern he typed, just for the heck of it.

After all she was bored, the small human kids were at school, the other bots were out doing a mission to collect their food source, what had creator called it?...Energon!

She hoped Smokescreen would be okay as well, over these two Earth months, she and Smokescreen had become best of friends.

She gave a soft purr as she remembered when it started to click for her that Smokescreen sincerely wanted to hang out with her.

Ratchet had heard Talus' purr and when he turned around, her optics were shut, must be having a good dream or something.

Talus opened her optics again and she mentally sighed, that was a relief, for some reason creator had hated it when she watched him type on the glowing board thing.

Talus shrugged her shoulder armor softly as she closed her optics, and slowly fell into a light recharge. She started to dream about when Smokescreen became her closest friend.

One Month Ago:

Talus was sleeping soundly, she was in her kennel/quarters. Team Prime had very much warmed up to her, all except the one named Arcee that is.

For some reason, the fellow femme hated her spark and she didn't hide it one bit.

Talus didn't know why the femme hated her so bad, she was trying to be nice, but the femme just glared at Talus like no tomorrow.

But one day it was bad, it started when Talus accidentally mistaken Arcee's Energon cube, with her own larger Energon cube.

After consuming it, Arcee came back into the room and started to go off on the Predacon evolution.

"Son of a glitch...I guess I'll take yours then beast", Arcee grabbed Talus' large cube of Energon and was about to walk out of the room until Talus growled softly.

Wait a click?! That was her cube of energon, and the femme was taking it. Oh slag no!

Talus snarled at the femme, Arcee turned around and she glared at the TechnaFury before explaining harshly "Hey, you took my breakfast, so I get to take yours, it's fair."

Talus growled softly, her audio sensors went down and her denta retracted back into their places, she didn't mean to steal the femmes' energon, but that was Talus' energon cube.

A plan formed in Talus' helm and the TechnaFury gave a snort to the epiphany of an idea she just sparked. Talus snarled and she lashed out, her denta shot out and her jaws clamped around the large cube and she ripped it from Arcee's grasp.

Talus quickly swallowed the entire cube and she gave a grunt of satisfaction, Arcee whipped around and rage was evident in her violet and blue glowing optics.

Arcee transformed her servos into her blasters and aimed them for the TechnaFury's helm, Talus' eyes widened before her optics narrowed.

Her main wings, her stabilizer fins, and her tail fins all folded out and spread wide, her optical pupils became slits, her denta were bared, her body tensed up and went into a fighting pose, and her audio sensors went against her neck armor as Talus snarled loud enough to vibrate Arcee's very spark.

Arcee glared at the beast until a shout was heard that said "Woah! Woah! Woah!"

It was Smokescreen, he put his servos up and ran in-between the two angry femmes before they could attack each other.

Smokescreen looked at Arcee and he asked quickly "What's going on?!"

Arcee glared at the TechnaFury and she said in a spiteful tone "That thing took my Energon! We have to go out and fight the 'Cons and this thing just sits around and eats our Energon all slagging day!"

Smokescreen nearly slapped a servo to his faceplate, femmes were something he would never understand.

Smokescreen gently asked "And what would this accomplish huh? You getting torn apart by Talus? Talus getting hurt by you? Arcee, there is no good way this ends, just go shift gears for a bit okay"

Arcee glared at him, then at the evolved Predacon and she angrily said "Fine", she transformed her blasters back into servos and she stomped out of the room.

Talus only calmed down when Arcee left the room, Talus laid her main wings against the ground and she sat back on her aft only, her back pedes supporting her only as her front servos sat on her knee armor.

Talus' optics dilated again, her audio digits went up a bit, and her denta retracted back into her armor.

Smokescreen glared at Talus and he scolded gently "Hey, you didn't have to eat Arcee's Energon either Talus, that is a big no-no"

Talus' audio digits went down against her helm and she whimpered softly, realizing she was being scolded again. Maybe she shouldn't sit this way though, her helm was very close to hitting the ceiling.

Smokescreen sighed before he gently put up a servo again, Talus went on all fours again and her main wings, stabilizing fins, and her tail fins all folded back into her armor neatly.

Talus then gently put her small metallic muzzle into his servo, she trusted him the most out of everyone in the base, besides their pack leader, Optimus Prime.

Smokescreen smiled and he gently started to scratched behind her helm, Talus' optics shuttered closed and she leaned far into his scratching, oh Primus that felt so good!

Smokescreen smiled and he really scratched her thick armor, he then said softly "You know, you are an amazing Predacon, you know that?"

Talus cocked her head as Smokescreen continued "Want to know where you come from?"

Talus purred and nuzzled Smokescreen's chassis as she laid down, Smokescreen hesitantly laid against her giant chassis and he told her the story of the mighty Predacon race, their rise and fall, Alpha Trion's discovery of her claw tip, him receiving the claw tip, her creation, etc.

Turns out, that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship and bond that would grow even more with time.

About a Earth day later though, Arcee walked up to her and apologized, and soon the femmes were good comrades as well.

Present Day:

Talus' optics snapped open as she heard the ground-bridge activate and she quickly got up and out of the way as the team came in, Bumblebee and Arcee had large carts filled with Energon, next came a worried Bulkhead and Smokescreen, and finally Optimus flew in carrying a beat up Wheeljack, and a wounded Ultra Magnus.

After about 30 Earth minutes, Ultra Magnus' optics opened slowly, only to come face to face with the large curious/worried optics of Talus.

Optimus gently pulled Talus away and Ultra Magnus' optics landed on Optimus, until he heard a welding sound.

Ultra Magnus looked down to see that his right servo...was gone. Now he remembered, the fight with the other Predacon, it had learned to transform, Ultra Magnus gave a small and regretful sigh.

"Ratchet will take good care of you", Optimus reassured Ultra Magnus.

Wheeljack commented a click later "Magnus fought like a Wrecker", Talus cocked her helm and gave a curious but soft grumble.

Ultra Magnus looked at Optimus and asked "Optimus, when we spoke earlier, what could be greater than an army?"

Optimus smiled softly and he answered with pride "A human concept, one I have learned since coming to Earth."

Ultra Magnus looked confused, until Optimus answered with pride in his tone "Family"

The rest of Team Prime walked over, Talus slowly walked over as well, she looked at Ultra Magnus' missing servo wound and she gently licked it with her glossa.

Ultra Magnus looked at Talus with an almost guilty expression, he turned to Optimus and said exhaustively "Optimus, that mech we fought, it was the original Predacon. He learned to transform, and speak"

Ultra Magnus looked at Talus with a wary expression on his faceplate, how long before their resident Predacon learned to transform?

Optimus saw the look and immediately knew what Ultra Magnus was thinking, Optimus put a servo on Ultra Magnus' shoulder armor and said "Rest Ultra Magnus, you have earned that right"

Ultra Magnus nodded and slowly fell into a deep recharge, soon every other Cybertronian took that example and went to go recharge themselves.

Three hours later:

Talus' optics snapped open, family, two of her family had gotten hurt today, and she wasn't there to stop it from happening.

It also sounded like the other of her kind had learned to have a robot form, rather than their natural beastly forms.

Could she learn to transform like that?

Talus lifted her head, if she wanted to learn, she had better do some studying in order to do so correctly.

Talus sneaked over to Ratchet's computer terminal, being strangely quiet for such a large creature, and she pressed what she knew was the on switch.

The terminal booted to life and it required a pass code to enter it. Talus growled very softly, before she remembered something.

Talus raised a servo and her claw tip pressed in Ratchet's code that she remembered, the terminal booted to life and she immediately accessed the files she needed.

She wanted to find out everything her team knew about the other Predacon, his strengths, and weaknesses.

Talus would be there to stop the other Predacon next time, after all Team Prime was her family.

And nobody hurts her family.

Nobody!

Wow, that took a bit of time to write today, I hope you guys enjoy it :)

Please leave nice reviews for this story, or tell me what I need to work on, no flames please.

Thank you guys for reading!

Take Care Now, Bye Bye Then!
