True Colors

Chapter Three

As the wind beat up against the ship the crew continued their daily thing. Rodimus walked around and looked out any possible window. There were heavy pedes coming towards him. He turned back to see Megatron. "I wanna go find Magnus." Megatron knelt down and set his servo on the captains shoulder. "I'm sure he'll be fine Rodimus." The orange and yellow mech rubbed his optics and winced. Drift walked over and excused Rodimus to speak with Megatron. "We need to go out and get him." Megatron looked over and sighed. "Who do we send out!? I have to stay here with Rodimus keep an optic on him." Drift looked back to some closed doors and sighed. "I'll go." Megatron face palmed and groaned, "You're not going out there Drift." The samurai turned back violently stopping Megatron in his tracks. "I'm going!" With that being said Drift stormed to his room to grab his things. Megatron sighed and looked out the window. He placed his servo on the glass and shut his optics. "Drifts coming for you Magnus. Hope to see you soon. I'm sorry." When the grey mech was done at the window he headed to his quarters.

Drift opened the doors and dust was flying everywhere. The dirt mixed with the water making mud. Drift pulled his hood up on his cloak and headed out. Nobody knew that Drift was leaving; just Megatron knew. The samurai wasn't going to let Ultra Magnus suffer out in the storm knowing that Rodimus hates him. Drift believes that the two should just make up and work together so they could continue their journey. As Drift neared the forest and jumped over a small tree and pulled out his swords. He walked in slowly and looked around. As he got further in he heard groaning. The samurai jumped out from a rock and saw a blue and white armored truck under a large tree. Drift put his swords away and ran over. "Ultra Magnus!!" Drift tried you move the tree but his strength wasn't good enough. Ultra Magnus tried to transform but the weight of the tree was crushing his circuits. "Drift what are you doing here!?" The samurai pulled his hood off and sighed. "I came to get you. You need to make up for what happened." Magnus groaned and vented heavily, "How's Rodimus?" The samurai pulled out his swords and started to chop into the wood. "He's fine. More worried about you than himself." Ultra Magnus was silent. Rodimus cared for him? After all the fights they've been through. Rodimus must be stronger than Magnus thought. With one last swing Drift screamed and finally cut through the wood. Ultra Magnus targeted his rockets once they were free and shot the tree to oblivion. Drift panted and put his swords away. Drift transformed and they two sped back to the ship. When Drift stepped in the ship Ultra Magnus followed. When they turned a corner Drift kept walking but Ultra Magnus stopped.

He saw Rodimus and the captain saw him. The two ran to each other and Magnus dropped to his knees as Rodimus' small frame clashed into his. "I'm sorry Magnus is should've just listened." The blue mech lifted the captains helm up. "No I should've let you do your job. I'm getting in the way and I'm sorry." The two hugged and Rodimus pulled back. He looked around embarrassed and turned back to his big friend. Without warning the little captain pressed his lips against his commanders. Ultra Magnus has never blushed so hard in his life. When Rodimus pulled back Magnus slowly opened his optics. "I love you." Rodimus said. Magnus didn't know what to do but he returned the favor, "I love you too." They kissed again but not long till Megatron came out of nowhere and chuckled. "How cute~" He purred. Rodimus quickly walked away and Ultra Magnus stood up. "Don't tell anyone!" The grey mech stepped out of the commanders way and continued to chuckle and grin.
