We are Predacons

Meet the Decepticons

    "Alright, alright." Jack says to Miko, "Hey, um, Hearthwing?" Jack mutters.

    "Yes, little one?" she replies in a kind voice, "Do you need something?"

    "Hi, I'm Jack and this is Rafael." Jack says as he points to Raf.

    "You can call me Raf." Rafael replies.

    "Well, it is very nice to meet the both of you. Glad you have come out of your shells." Hearthwing says, smiling.

    The 'human' entrance opens up and Agent Williams comes in, yelling at Optimus, "The Air force say that a deformed Predacon walked right up to your doors and came in with happy greetings! What is that about?"

    "Excuse me... Optimus, I am going to find a wall to punch before this one gets to me." Hearthwing says harshly to Optimus before walking out of the room.

    "You let a Predacon roam your halls, Optimus?! Last time I checked Predacons tried to kill you!" Agent Williams continues to yell as he points at the direction of Hearthwing.

    "Agent Williams, last time I checked you don't tell us who we can and can't recruit." Ratchet says, almost yelling back.

    Miko quietly gets up and runs down the hall to go check on Hearthwing and is followed by Jack and Raf. As she runs down the hall, a loud crunch echoes through the base. "Hearthwing? Are you ok?" Bright red optics look at the three from the shadows of a dark corner.

    "Yes, yes. We Predacons are not all bad, you know." Hearthwing murmers, almost as if she is talking to herself, "Is the so called Predaking really that bad, Bad enough to think I am like them?"

    "He did try to kill the Autobots a few times and Agent Williams' opinion of Predacons is based off of him. Don't take it too harshly." Jack says to attempt to cheer up the Autobots' new comrade.

    "Did Optimus say that Predaking stayed on Cybertron?" Hearthwing asks the three humans.

    "Yes. Why?" Raf replies.

    "I want to show this Predaking a true Predacon. You see, I was not cloned, but awoken from Hypersleep I placed upon myself. The only brain around Cybertron to do so," Hearthwing had strength in her voice, "For I wear my symbol with honor, they wear their's for strength." She gets up, picks up the three and walks back to where everyone else is. Placing the three gently on their platform she asks Ratchet, "I would like to visit my home, Ratchet, is that possible?"

    "Yes, we can bridge you to the portal to Cybertron and you can go home from there but-" Ratchet is interrupted by Optimus.

    "Why do you want to go to Cybertron?" Optimus asks as he steps closer to Hearthwing.

    "As I told these three, I was not cloned, but awoken from a Hypersleep, I activated by myself, from Shockwave. I would like to go home." She tells him in kind, then walks over to Ratchet, "Can you bridge me?"

    "Yes." And he changes the bridge coordinates to the Portal and activates it.

    "Thank you all for your short notice hospitality." She says before walking through. The bridge closes behind her as she leaps onto the Portal and walks through. "Cybertron is very different from what I remember. I live in the Sea of Rust so I'll just head straight there." She says to herself as she transforms to Beast Mode, then she hears gunfire in a city.

    "I will crush you!" she hears a loud growl, then a scream, then a loud, echoing crunch. Racing to get to the source of the sound she sees a Predacon take off, so she bolts after it on foot.

Time Skip- 30 mins

    "Lord Predaking! I cleared the city of Decepticon." The followed Predacon says. Hearthwing hides within the clouds of rust for cover, but her cover wasn't good enough. A clicking of metal on metal came from Predaking as he stepped off of his pile of Cybertronian scraps.

    "Did you lead one here?!" He growled as he got closer to Hearthwing, who walked calmly out of her Rust cloud.

    "You are the one they call Predaking? I have seen Cybertronian Worms bigger than you." She says as she tries not to laugh, for she is about five feet taller than him in Beast mode.

    "Is that an insult?" Predaking bellows, "Look at yourself. You look like you were pulled out of a smelting pit."

    She leaps on him and pins him to the ground by the neck, "You call yourself a Predacon? You are an insult. We do not have a single ruler, but we work as one. Get up!" She growls as she steps off of him.

    "Darksteel, Skylynx! With me!" Predaking orders, the two obey, "You won't last a night here with Decepticons roaming about! They shall see you burn!" he bellowed before taking off further into the Sea of Rust.

    Hearthwing curls up into a tight ball and dozes off to sleep.

She wakes up to the loud roar of an engine and looks up to see a large ship over her. Looking around her she sees the Purple hue of Shockwave in tank form, so she scrambles to get up and dashes off further into the Sea of Rust to her old home.

    "Odd. Why isn't this one flying away like the others?" Starscream questions Shockwave through the coms.

    "It seems to be damaged." Shockwave replies as he sees Hearthwing turn around to look at him. He transforms to Bot mode and walks closer to her, "I believe I know this particular Predacon, but the damage is too much to tell."

    "Is it Predaking?" Starscream asks.

    "Wrong!" Hearthwing growls at Shockwave due to hearing his com, "You left me, Shockwave. And this is what you caused me. I am Hearthwing, and your empire shall fall beneath my blaze!" she continues to roar, spreading her melted wings high and raising herself up on her hind legs and charging her flames as her throat glowed with fire, "You shall burn as I did!"
