"So we go down Primus' va-"

"Just call it the well of Allsparks." Optimus shut his optics in dismay.

"-lve together, do what ever we have to do with the Allspark and done." Meg summarized.

"Yes- He's going to kill himself." Optimus added as he looked out the window.

"He's ignoring me through the spark bond." Meg added, "Odd he seemed sincere when he-"

"I was sincere!" I started, that motherclucker really thinks I'll just shove his advice down a waste bucket?

"Hmm?"

"She swapped frames with me." I said, "I didn't want to swap frames." I added as Meg raised a ridge.

"You are a chicken?" Optimus asked while Ultra Magnus gave a satisfied smirk.

"No, I'm not." I squawked sarcastically. Optimus blinked in confusion, "Yes I'm a chicken!" I helped him out. "Don't you have to revive Cybertron before you-" I started.

"Yes." Megatron stated as he watched Egg fly into a ground bridge, he must have gotten Soundwave to take care of it. "Do you know where the orb is?" He asked.

"Under my berth." I said and Optimus headed off.

"Ep! Wait up!" I started and he stopped to let me catch up, "Wait, when are we doing the wakey Cybertron uppy?" I asked.

"Pardon?" Optimus and Megatron both asked.

"Reviving the planet, when-"

"This evening." Optimus said.

Okie dokie, carry me." I instructed and Optimus picked me up under Meg's fowl glare.

"You are cute." Optimus started once we were out of the command unit.

"I know, wait, this is Egg's frame." I started.

"Yes, you are cute as a chicken." He added.

"So you find Egg cute too?" I asked.

"Of course." He added as he walked, it was kinda bumpy. Poor Egg, how many bumps she has to deal with when she's in my chassis. We made it to my berthroom fairly fast and got the orb.

"Now, where is Egg?" I asked as I fluffed up my plating. That felt nice, I did it again. I am floof!

"What are you-"

"Floofing!" I said and did it again while cuddling into Oppy's servo. I think I let out a chicken-y purr.

"Um?" Optimus asked.

"You're servos are damn comfortable." I clucked before spotting Soundwave dragging my frame behind him in an arm lock.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Egg chanted as she tried her best not to stumble.

Optimus shook the orb, put it down, sat me down on Soundwave's shoulder and left. Wait.

We woke up on the floor.

"Frag." Egg started, this time from her frame.

But alas, I was a blue stick. Mmm, scrap. I glanced over at my frame which carried a very controlled expression. Then Optimus came back and collected the orb. "Everything good?" He asked.

I don't think I could have said anything if I tried.

"Yes? No?" He asked unsurely.

Slowly Soundwave got up, likely not familiar with the additional weight. He picked up the sulking chicken and handed Egg to him.

"Er? Are you alright?" Optimus asked.

He took the orb out of his servo and turned to me, still on the floor.

"Ah." Optimus said and headed around the corner.

Soundwave shook it, and well, you know what happens next.

I woke up in my frame and let out a little cheer. Then I realized I was back to feeling sick and let out a grumble.

"Your frame wasn't all that good anyway." Egg said as she sulking in Optimus' servo. Optimus looked down at her in disapproval. "Only if you're desperate I guess." She shot at him.

Soundwave walked over to collect the orb. "Er?" I asked.

"Take to Alpha Trion." Soundwave let out and took the orb.

"Make sure to tell him not to give it to Egg." I added as he left. Egg scowled.

"Put me down, I'm gonna visit my chickies." She grumbled and Optimus put her down. She waddled off in a bad mood.

Optimus started walking off for some reason, "Yo," I started, "Where are you going?" I asked.

"I need to get the Star Saber." He grumbled.

"Why?" I asked as I trailed him.

"Megatron wants to keep all the weapons in the weapons vault." Optimus stated.

"And you're going to take orders from him."

"The weapons vault is secure, it would be safest to store." Optimus pointed out.

"So..."

"So I am putting it in the vault?" Optimus said as he fetched the Saber from his room.

"Can I carry it?" I asked.

"Do you want to agitate Megatron?"

"No, but I kinda want to have less secrets to hide from him." I said and Optimus raised a ridge in surprise. "I also want to see how easily the sword with go through a wall." I added and he handed it over.

I wasted no time stabbing the glowstick into a wall, it cut through like butter! "Maybe Megatron wants to keep his ship whole?" Optimus suggested as we walked.

"Oh, it was just one stab!" I argued then spotted Optimus stopping. "What?" I asked and he nodded down the hall.

Shockwave and Alpha Trion were chatting.

"You're apologizing?" Alphy asked.

"Torturing you was unnecessary, yes." Shockers said. "I could have used a cortical Physic patch." He added.

"Not sure if I'd preferred it." Alpha Trion mumbled before they spotted us. "Hello." He greeted.

Meanwhile, Shockwave was glaring at the glowing sword that hung limply in my servo.

"Oh cheese and crackers!" Optimus whisper shouted, "Give me that!" He started and tried to take the sword.

"No! I like holding it!" I argued as Shockwave walked over. He took the sword, it stopped glowing, "Hey!" I started and he gave it back.

"How?" He asked.

I shrugged, so did Optimus. He glared at Alpha Trion.

"Likely a matrix trace." He said.

"Huh?" Me and Optimus asked.
