A Predacon's Tale

ch.10 The First Call

(Flameburst's account)

I feel something; I feel... danger... panic. My senses! I remember now. My father gave me his powers. And the Primes sent me to a new world they said the next Prime would be there. He/she must be in trouble.

(This next part takes place during season 3 episode 11 of TRANSFORMERS PRIME) (Persuasion)

The Predacon was laying down heavy fire on the Prime. He wasn't giving up, especially since the destruction of his army. He was furious! And he thought that by taking down the leader of the Autobot forces, he'd feel better and stronger than any Cybertronian. He thought this until he heard the sound of another Predacon.

When he looked up from the battle to see the Predacon, he was quiet surprised to see a femme challenging him. But he couldn't let this challenge go to waste. "Leave the Prime be" she said finally landing on the cliff of ice "and fight me". Predaking let out a roar to except the challenge and took to the sky. Flameburst did the same. The fight had begun!

Flameburst was higher in the air than Predaking so decided the best maneuver would be to shoot at him. The first shot was to show off, the second hit his left wing, and the third hit his right wing and also brought him to the ground. Flameburst flew towards him-not letting out a cry- and rammed in to him. Predaking let out a loud groan. Flameburst had now landed, and was teasing him: "you're a mech and you're older than me. Ha! You're a shame to our kind" Flameburst looked in to his optic and saw his first memories, she saw that he was a clone and he had succeeded transformation, she also saw that he was under orders to kill and that he called himself Predaking. She stopped looking and he instantly stood up, growled and launched himself at her, pinning her to an ice cliff behind them. The two started a... cat fight I suppose you could call it. They were scratching each other until finally, Predaking started to bleed. Then Flameburst made her move. As he stepped down to observe the damage, she launched herself at him, pinning him to the ground, she looked in his optic and saw that he didn't have to full Predacon CNA to be hypnotized so she tried to reason with him. "I need you" she whispered "I need clones like you in my clan, so DON'T make me kill you". Predaking kicked her to the side. He stood up, and was about to attack when he was told by his master to come back to base. "I will never join your clan" he spat and took to the air. Now the Prime thought Flameburst. She walked slowly to the Prime who was in a crater. She could hear him moaning with pain, he'd obviously fallen from a great height.

It was only now Flameburst was getting her red and navy coloured frame back. And she realized what had changed. The original thirteen were all dead. And she wasn't at home, on Cybertron anymore. The Prime slowly opened his optics and was surprised to see a different Predacon so close and not trying to harm him. Flameburst nudged his arm, to move it so she could give him something to lean on. He honestly couldn't believe it. As much as he wanted to trust the Predacon, he couldn't not after the battle with Predaking. Flameburst sensed the fear and could understand why. So decided that introducing herself would be a good start.
