Megatron's twin

167: Happy Birthday

We all waited patiently as Shockwave powered up the Omega lock. It was really a magnificent sight, all that blue bubbling energon. So pretty. But I got distracted and started picking out the grime from under my plating.

"I kinda want ta swim in it." Jazz started.

That was an idea Smoke and Bee did not need in their processors, they ran and got ready to jump in. But Ultra Magnus managed to hold them back.

"But-"

"No." He grumbled and dragged them back the everyone else. For some reason, Airachnid and Starscream weren't here.

"What's it gonna do?" I asked Optimus.

"Revive the planet." Alpha Trion stated.

"But how?"

"Magic!" Bee started. Magic= Science he does not understand.

Then the circle thing started glowing and shot a ray into Primus' valve. Wait a minute-

"No." Optimus started.

"No what?" I asked.

"Get your mind out of the gutter." He grumbled.

"I was just gonna say, two bits of a puzzle, a valve and-"

Magnus coughed and Optimus slapped me.

"Primus is probably having the time of his life." I muttered and then the planet lit up. "There's the overload." I muttered to myself and Bee snorted.

Knockout started clapping giddily and the chicks were singing off tune. Egg was frowning.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Sqwak-"

"Huh?" I asked and Optimus turned.

"Sqwee-"

"I can't understand you." I explained.

"I can." Optimus started.

"I can't." Meg added.

"Eh?" Knockout stared, "Well, the translator adapter was experimental, the information could have deteriorated, so it's only temporary, I'll look into it later." He muttered and hugged Breakdown.

"Hmpf." Megaron started.

"Just use the spark bond." I told Eggy.

Do you think the turbo foxes will be back? She asked.

"You don't even know what they're like." I said.

Yea, but they're chickens natural predators, and my chicks are small.

"I suppose they'll come back with all sorts of things when Megatron and Optimus stick the Allspark in Primus' valve." I explained.

"Stop calling it-" Optimus started.

"Where is the Allspark?" Megatron asked, and perfectly timed, Soundwave popped up with it. "Hm." He started and handed Gold to Ratchet.

But Optimus already took the Allspark. Oh great, they were probably gonna argue about who gets to carry it.

"You're clumsy." Megatron started.

"What-"

"Give it here-"

"I am not clumsy." Optimus started.

"I've lost count how many times you dropped datapads." Megatron pointed out and Soundwave played a compilation of such events.

"I was carrying at least nine when I dropped them." Optimus argued.

"I told you to carry them three at a time." Alpha Trion started.

"I did, most of the time."

"Cleary." Alpha Trion noted, still watching the ongoing compilation of Orion dropping things.

"You might poison it." Optimus started.

"I-what?" Megatron asked in confusion, I was confused to.

"Dark energon is in your systems and I do not think we ought to risk it." Optimus said.

Megatron let out a grumble in protest but let it slide. One minute later, they both swan dived into the well of Allsparks. We all waited patiently.

What's taking so long? Egg asked.

"They probably started arguing again." I said.

"Verbally or physically?" Ratchet asked.

"I'll ask." I said.

Meg, what's taking so long? I asked.

We're figuring it out. Megatron said.

You're fighting?

No! Optimus is just waving the thing around in front of the big spark, he's not listening to my suggestions.

Just tell him to stick it in. I said, "They're figuring out how to merge it, Optimus has just been waving it around." I said. If that doesn't work, tell him to wave it around and dance.

Like that will work. Megatron grumbled and after a moment, He's a terrible dancer.

I snorted.

Well something's happening now- Megatron started but then the sparkbond cut of.

"Meg said something's happing but I can get anything back from him." I told everyone. "And Optimus is a bad dancer." I added.

"What does Optimus' dancing have to go with this?" Ratchet asked. "Can you still communicate?" He asked as he looked down, "What-"

We all raced to the edge to see a bunch of balls (not those balls) fly out.

"Are those fireflies?" Darksteel asked.

"I thought they were smaller." Skylynx started.

"No, they're sparks." Predaking said.

"Are some of them Predacons?" Steel asked.

"There's, one-two-three- a lot of them so probably. Yea." Predaking said.

"Looks pretty." I started. You should see the view from up here. I started, telling Meg.

I can't see horse-scrap. Meg started.

Well, it won't be down there will it. I snickered.

Not literally, the light blinded us. Megatron grumbled, It'll wear off, I hope.

What about Optimus? I asked.

He's complaining that his chassis is sore, and I think he's on the ground. Megatron added.

How do you know he's on the ground? I asked.

I think I stepped on him, yes I did. Megatron yammered, Does he whine this much in the berth? He asked.

Well, I dunno how much he's whining now, hold on. I said and turned to look at Egg who was squawking at me.

"What?" I asked.

Are those Cyberfoxes? She asked and nodded down at the ground.

I looked down, "Yup, that was fast." I said.

"Squawk, squewkel, squawk!" Copper started and jumped over the edge.

We all watched in shock, except Laserbeak, he was on his way to save Copper.

"What did he say?" I asked.

"'I can take 'em.'" Alpha Trion translated as Laserbeak flew back up with Copper. "The sparks have slowed down." He added.

"Do ya know their status?" Jazz asked.

"Temporarily blinded." I said as Soundwave opened a ground bridge and went to fetch them. He came back within the minute.

They clearly couldn't see 'horse-scrap'.

And Optimus was smaller for some reason.
