Megatron's twin

114: More Puppies

The next day

I was woken up by a very consistent knocking at the door.

Make it stop! Egg squawked in anger.

I grumbled and got up, opening the door, "What?" I asked Predaking.

"Can we go-"

"It's nine in the morning." I complained.

He blinked, "So?"

"So, I need to sleep in." I explained but had second thoughts as his optics started to look watery. "Fine. Let me feed the chicks." I said and went back inside, he followed.

"I've been thinking of names." He started.

"Good idea." I said.

"Heh, I didn't want you to come up with a name like Egg for them." He muttered.

I'm fine with my name. Egg stated, I petted her.

"What Names were you thinking?" I asked.

"Skylynx and Darksteel." He said.

"Sounds decent." I paused, "They won't be fighting in the war right?" I asked.

"Nope don't think so, I don't think Magnus would like to lose another servo." He joked as the chickens finished, I let them inside. "Done?"

"Yup." I said and we started walking, "But will we tell the 'cons about this?" I asked.

"Well, Megatron-"

"Yup, forget it." I paused, "But then they'll have to suffer and only socialize with us." I said.

He paused, "And Magnus maybe."

"And most Autobots." I added as we stood on the flight deck.

"Eh..." He said unsurely.

"Oh come on, I'm like part of the family, they don't mind the chickens."

"Yea, but they're chickens." He reasoned.

"And I'm pretty sure CyberChickens evolved from Predacons."

"Bullshit."

"It's what happened with Earth's T-rex. I think." I said, "The Autobots might be surprised but they'll get over it. And they won't be fighting."

"Fine." Predaking grumbled.

"Do you know where their base is?" I asked.

"No."

"Would you tell anyone if you knew?" I asked.

"Dunno." He shrugged, "They wouldn't like it if I knew, or if I came over." He said.

"Who said anything about coming over?" I asked.

"I'm sure it was going to be your next question." He paused, "I can't maintain relationships where I have to kill them one moment and be friends with them the next." He explained.

"I shot Bulkhead and we're still friends." I said, "Maybe you could try the same stuff as what you do with Magnus?" I suggested.

"We have a mixture of a temporary peace and 'hit each other lightly', kind of friendship."

"So just do that with the rest." I said, "And I'll distract Megatron from your failings with my own." I said.

He shrugged, "We should get going." He said and transformed, we flew off to the cave.

We arrived in the cave and strolled through, "Haven't seen them yet." I muttered and let the chicks out, mid walk.

"I checked on them everyday." Predaking said, pride lacing his tone.

"How'd they look?" I asked.

"Stunning." He said.

"Hey, maybe one of you will lay an egg!" I said.

"Egg?"

"You know, after fragging, recreate you race." I suggested.

"With inbreeding?"

I paused, "Maybe not." We made it into the main cavern and strolled over to the tanks. "Mmm." I said in surprise, "A little smaller than you I think." I said.

Both had a colour scheme of blue and black-ish grey, one had some gold around the faceplates and the other had more white plating. The gold headed one had a beak and the more whitish one had a chomper similar to Predaking's.

"So which is which?" I asked.

"The one with the beak is Darksteel and the other one is Skylynx." He said proudly.

"Cool." I said ad pushed a button, the yellow liquid began to drain. Both the preds screeched lightly and opened their optics.

Predaking transformed into his beast mode and sniffed eagerly at the tanks until the Predacons burst them open.

I looked down and noticed the chickens standing behind my peds, looking for cover.

The Preds all instantly started sniffing each other before Darksteel strolled over to me and started sniffing.

I think I should have taken a shower cause he recoiled and gaged, "You reek too pall." I grumbled the yellow stuff may have needed to be filtered.

Predaking started to demonstrate how to transform and they got the gist of it quickly.

"Hah!" Darksteel giggled, "You look like an idiot!" He pointed at Skylynx and had a laughing fit, until he was thrown into a wall. Predaking looked on proudly.

"Hmpf." Skylynx crossed his arms and looked around he spotted me and the chicks, "That food?" He asked.

"Ah nope, not food." I said.

"Not you, them." he said and nodded at the chicks.

Egg swallowed him with fire, leaving him to scramble behind Predaking for cover.

"That's Quillux and Egg." Pred said, "And the smaller ones are Zinc, Copper and Gold." He added.

"Can you tell Quillux not to breathe fire at me?" Sky asked.

"Or me!" Steel asked from against the wall.

"Quillux doesn't breathe fire." Predaking noted in confusion.

"Did you think my name is Egg?" I asked, appalled.

It's not that bad a name. Egg noted.

"Not when you're a chicken." I told her as Pred clarified some things to them, including their names.

"My names better." Steel said proudly.

"Excuse me?" Sky started, his already considerably spikey plating spiking up further. Oh! They can puff up their plating!

"You're excused." Steel said jokingly with a giggle.

I could already tell who the immature on was.

Skylynx transformed, chomped on his shoulder and threw him into a wall, what preceded was a friendly spar which Predaking felt the need to including himself.

Argh, savages. Egg started, And these guys kind were our ancestors? How embarrassing. Egg said while stopping the chicks from joining in.

"I'm sure they feel the same way to you." I said.

Huh? Egg asked.

"Well, if they evolved into you, they'd be embarrassed too."
