Transformers Prime: Nahko

Search for Unicron

Dawn's POV

We had arrived at the former sea of rust and found fresh predacon tracks. Neither tracks belong to us. "Tracks. The Autobot femme spoke the truth" Predaking states while examining them.

"She has a name," I remind him. "But it is good to hear we're not alone. So are we gonna track them?" I ask.

"Locating our new brethren will be a futile endeavour unless we allow them to locate us," Predaking states. We both transform and fire streams of fire into he air. If the other predacons are near, they will see our signal and come to investigate.

Nahko's POV

I sent Bee to see how Ultra Magnus is doing with Jazz. While I start to worry about Dawn. Sure, she is with Predaking. But neither know about Unicron. I have to warn her. 'Dawn, can you hear me?' I ask her.

'Yes, is something wrong, sister?' Dawn asks me.

'The chaos bringer is here on Cybertron, and he means to destroy Primus,' I tell her.

'That is not good, I shall inform Predaking and we will help you protect our home planet ' she tells me.

'What are you doing now?' I ask her.

'Waiting for the other predacons, talk more later,' she states. Ending our talk. I blink as I see someone waving their hand in front of me.

"You ok gorgeous?" Jazz asks me.

"Yeah, just informed Dawn of the situation," I state. "Any news on Ultra Magnus?" I ask.

"Doc says his vitals are improving, but he won't be fighting fit to help us with Unicron," he states.

"Damn, with Optimus gone. I could use his knowledge in military tactics, " I mutter, running a hand through my metal hair. "And some leadership advice," I add.

"You've become a fine leader, Nahko Prime," he assures me. "I know you can lead us through this battle," he states.

"Glad you're confident," I tell him. "Anything else to report?" I ask him.

"Ratchet is attempting to locate Unicron," he answers.

"Good, once we know where he is. We'll be more prepared to plan our attack, " I state. "If he is unable to locate him though, we'll head for the Well. Set up a line of defence, " I state.

"Sounds good," Jazz tells me. We go join the others in the control room. We all watch as Ratchet searches for Megatron's life signal with the Nemesis' sensors.

(Sea of Rust) Dawn's POV

"Here they come," I say as I hear something heading our way.

"Let me handle this," Predaking tells me. I nod my helm in agreement. Just then, Megatron lands before us. I growl lowly, sensing the dark energon inside him. The spirit of Unicron must be controlling him.

"Warriors! I call upon you both to serve your master," Unicron declares. I snarl, I'd never follow him.

"In the name of the mighty legions of Predacons who preceded me, I shall never again yield to your charge. But I will heed your previous advice and face my true enemy as a beast!" Predaking declares. He transforms and attacks Unicron with a blast of burning hot fire. I transform and circle them, ready to jump in if Predaking needs back up.

Predaking is thrown into a wall. I screech and jump onto Unicron's back. I prepare to fire. When he throws me off and I hit the ground hard. "Dawn!" Predaking roars and gets to his feet. He charges Unicron, pushing him away from me. They fight, and Predaking is knocked out.

"Now let us learn more of these mighty legions of which you spoke by peering directly into your mind," Unicron says. Teaching Predaking's head.

"Get away from him!" I screech and ram into him. Sending him flying. I snarl, bearing my denta at him as I stand in front of Predaking defensively.

"It matters not. I know now what I require to tear this world asunder and where I might find them. Not even you or your precious soul sister can stop me," Unicron sneers before leaving. Once he was out of sight, I turned to Predaking and nudged him gently. He soon stirs.

"What happened?" he asks me.

"Unicron knocked you out. I managed to scare him off, but this fight isn't over. We must find the other living predacons and then must work together with the autobots.  Otherwise, our world will be destroyed," I tell him.

"I don't like the thought of working with them. But you are right. It is the only way to protect this planet," he states. "We must return to our territory. Unicron means to resurct our legion with dark energon," he tells me. I nod my head, we can't let Unicron defile our ancestors' resting place. We take off.

(Nemesis) Nahko's POV

"Megatron's life signal," Ratchet states when he finds it.

"So, somewhere inside that new body armour, he's still alive?" Arcee asks.

"He's perished and returned before a phenomenon no doubt aided by the blood of Unicron, which has coursed through his veins," Ratchet reminds her.

"The coordinates indicate he's left Darkmount," Bee states.

"Triangulate his current coordinates," I tell Ratchet.

"Triangulating his exact position," he says. Soon, he has the coordinates of a place we'd been to before. This isn't good.

"We were there earlier today," Bee states.

"Predaking and Dawn's refuge," Arcee states.

"Not just their refuge, but a graveyard," I tell them.

"Full of Predacon bones," Jazz adds.

"What in Alpha Trion's beard is that?" Smokescreen asks, pointing to the screen. We see a surge of dark energon at the site.

"This fight just got a whole lot tougher. We gotta get to the Well now and set up our defences, " I tell everyone.

"You heard her move," Jazz orders.

"Best you remain here with Ultra Magnus, we'll collect you once the fight is over," I tell Ratchet. He nods his helm. He gets ready to move Ultra Magnus. While I go to look out the window, fists clenched.

"You ok, Nahko?" Smokescreen asks me.

"I wish Optimus were here," I tell him.

"Don’t worry, he'll get here," he assures me.

"I wish I had your optimism Smokescreen," I tell him.

"I wish I had your wisdom. I'm sorry for being such a hard head since Magnus got hurt. I want you to know I believe in you, " he tells me.

"I'm glad, I hated fighting with you," I tell him. "You know we never finished the private tour of Cybertron," I remind him. He grabs my hand with his.

"When this is over, I'll take you anywhere you want," he tells me. Squeezing my hand. I smile and kiss his cheek. Before going to check on the others progress. While praying, Dawn and Predaking are alright. I haven't heard from her since I warned her about Unicron. Over an hour ago.
