~Chapter 4~

Four day's have pasted since Rykerdraft and Doomclaw lost most of their clan members from the first wave of the Great Cataclysm. Rykerdraft still extremely guilty. She would get nightmares every time she fell asleep. Doomclaw had to make sure she was sleeping well. The young Predacon, who Doomclaw learned her name was Bluewave. She had a beautiful primary metal plate color of indigo and a secondary color of violet.

Rykerdraft took Bluewave as her own since her and Doomclaw tried to have sparklings, but it never worked. They never knew why, but every time she delivered, the sparkling would be dead. They kept wishing for a living sparkling to be born, but after 3 tries, they never tried again because they knew it would be the same outcome. Doomclaw saw this young Predacon as their own. Bluewave did look a lot like Rykerdraft, color wise, but had similar designs to Doomclaw.

As of right now, all the Predacon's were resting from the journey that they had done that day. It was rough, they weren't sure if they were able to survive this. It felt like it was too much to handle. Doomclaw agreed with Rykerdraft that he figured no Predacon would survive this great disaster.

Doomclaw was currently laying down, with Rykerdraft lying next to him, and Bluewave lying between Rykerdraft's legs. He kept a watchful eye on his mate to see if she would have any nightmare's tonight. He hated it when she had nightmares. It broke his spark. He would also make sure that Bluewave slept well.

A rumbling noise began to echo across the whole area. It woke up a few Predacon's. Doomclaw looked around, until he spotted where the noise was coming from. He could see, from a distance, metal plates for the planet were rising and falling. He knew the cracks were coming again, but he could tell that the cracks were a few day's away. They've managed to stay a far distance from the cracks. Once the rumbling noise stopped, Doomclaw laid his head down next to his mate's and finally let sleep overtake him.

~Time Skip~

It's been about 4 hours since the Predacon's left their rest area. Rykerdraft made sure that Bluewave was next to her at all times. Bluewave appreciated the affection she got from her queen.

"Queen... How long do we have?" Rykerdraft looked at Bluewave with slight confusion.

"What do you mean?" The young Predacon looked at her adoptive carrier with a worried and scared expression.

"How long do we have until the cataclysm gets us?"

Rykerdraft had a shocked expression. She then looked down with a defeated look.

"I... I'm not sure young one. All I know is that I will protect you. If I can't then Doomclaw will." Bluewave got a sad look to her adoptive carrier. She then nodded.

Rykerdraft sadly smiled at Bluewave and then looked at her mate as he was looking at both of them. As silence fell upon them, they head a shrieking roar of pure fear. They all stopped and looked behind them, the cracks had formed again and there was no sound, another Predacon had fallen through. As they were about to start running, more cracks formed and this time, there was a booming sound.

Everyone began looking around and saw red and orange glowing between the cracks, Doomclaw slowly walked over to one of the cracks, there was lava... it was rising.

"Run... Run!!"

The rest of the Predacon's began running. More cracks and explosive sounds kept coming. Larger cracks began to form. One Predacon was falling into the cracks and into the lava every minute. It worried Rykerdraft. As they were running they looked ahead of them and saw more cracks forming. The stopped running and looked around them... The cracks were all around them and meeting them in the middle.

The scene around them horrified them all. They tried to find metal plating that wasn't cracking. They all watched as the cracks met. The lava was almost to the edge and everything was shaking. Cybertron's surface was being destroyed.

"Mother!!" Rykerdraft turned toward the cry and saw Bluewave hanging over the edge of a crack. She hopped across each crack until she got to her adopted sparkling. Once she was there, she grabbed Bluewave by the neck and tossed her over to her mate, who caught Bluewave.

Doomclaw set Bluewave down and looked at his mate with worry. Rykerdraft got ready to jump until she heard metal cracking and breaking apart. She looked down at her metal paws and saw cracks forming. She looked up at her mate and sparkling with fear. She began running as cracks were forming behind her.

"Rykerdraft!" "Mother!!" Her mate and sparkling calling out to her. She saw a crack grow larger and got ready to jump, as she did, she felt the metal plating beneath her give out.

All she saw was her mate and sparkling's eyes widen in fear as they saw Rykerdraft falling into the cracks of Cybertron. She kept falling, she could see the lava getting closer to her until she hit the side of the planet's metal walls and broke through it and landed hard on inside an enclosed cave. She looked to where she fell through and saw the lava rising and coming through the opening that she created. She didn't want it to get closing so she used her water breathing and was able to harden the lava.

The good news from that solution was that she was safe from harm, bad news is that she was now trapped inside the planet. As she was looking for a way out, the only thing she could hear was the sound of the planet's metal creaking and breaking, but the one thing that shocked her more than hearing those sounds was the sounds of her clan roaring in fear as they began falling through the cracks and into the lava.

There was a sound that broke her spark and that she would never overcome; The sound of her mate and sparkling roaring as she could hear them falling in the same crack that she fell through.

She cried and roar in heartbreak and despair as she couldn't do anything. Rykerdraft fell to the floor of the planet, feeling nothing but misery, grief, suffering, anguish, and worst of all, guilt.

She promised to her sparkling that she would protect her and she couldn't even do that. Rykerdraft closed her eyes as she continued to sob in sadness. She didn't know what to do. She slowly opened her tear filled eyes and looked in the dark empty cave. She began thinking of a solution that might help her die slowly.

Rykerdraft began shutting down all her drives and shut down her spark. She was hoping that would finally help end her suffering. Darkness consumed her vision and she only see black.

The Queen of the Predacon's thought that she had died, but she had no idea what would happen in the next 10,000 years of Cybertronian Life.
