"But, Carrier," Glowfire whined, clinging to my servo,"I want to go to the Arctiiic." "And you will, when you're older," I replied, kneeling down and giving him a kiss on his fore-helm,"For now let's go see the resurrection of our home planet." "I thought Earth was our home," Galactia said softly, sucking on her thumb digit. I pulled her thumb out her intake and smoothed out her short, black pigtails,"It is, but Cybertron is where we, your carrier, sire, grand-sire, aunt, and uncles were born on." "I'm excited to see Cybertron, Carrier," Tsunami told me, hugging my leg. I smiled at him, then stood,"Come along now. Grand-sire won't keep the space-bridge open forever." Glowfire groaned, but took my servo and followed me and his siblings to the control room. They were all quite tall now, only reaching to about my hips with their helms, with Glowfire it was up to nearly my waist. They all had certain characteristics in their armor from me and Optimus. Glowfire had Optimus' frame, but his helm looked similar to my helm-armor. Tsunami's chest-plate and helm looked like Optimus', but his arm and leg armor held a slight resemblance to mine, only with a more masculine touch. Then there was Galactia. She looked very much like me, and was the only one of her siblings with wings. Her shoulder-plates somewhat resembled Optimus' when I first met him, but the rest of her frame looked nearly identical to mine. Her wings shimmered different colors depending on what sort of light struck them, and she, unlike her brothers, did not have clawed servos. Now we were greeted by Optimus, who kissed me on the cheek, then hugged his children. "So?" he asked, kneeling in front of them,"Who's excited to see another planet for the first time?" "Me!" Glowfire and Tsunami chorused, letting go of my servos to hug their sire again. Galactia remained holding my servo, but she pressed closer to my leg and nervously said,"Me." "Don't be afraid, my dear," Optimus smiled, patting her helm,"It'll be fun, I promise." Galactia smiled then and hugged him. "Are we ready to go?" Ratchet called impatiently. "Yeah!" Glowfire exclaimed, bouncing up and down. Tsunami held his sister's servo as we walked closer to the open space-bridge. "Don't worry, sis. If any scraplets appear, I'll protect you," he whispered to her. Glowfire tugged on my servo,"Come on, Carrier. Let's go let's go let's go let's go!" I chuckled,"Alright there, feisty one. I'm coming." Optimus followed me through and we stepped into the control room of the Nemesis. "I'll take Glowfire, Tsunami, and Galactia to the flight pad so they can see better," I told Optimus. "Alright, dear," he replied and gave me a quick kiss, which made Glowfire and Tsunami fake gagging, but Galactia sighed blissfully. I took them to the flight pad, and along the way Galactia had a few questions. "Carrier, when will I have a Sparkmate?" she asked me, her optics big and round. "Well," I said,"To have a Sparkmate you must first have a sweetspark, and to get a sweetspark you need to find the perfect bot who you know will make you happy." "But how will I know?" Galactia asked me. "You yourself won't know at first," I replied,"But the spark has a funny way of falling in love with the one bot who will remain at your side forever." "Forever and ever?" Galactia asked. "Forever and ever," I replied with a smile. Galactia grinned,"Well in that case I am very happy, because I know who my Sparkmate will be." "Oh?" I asked mischievously,"And who is that?" "Whoever my spark deems fit," Galactia replied, doing a little skip. "Uncle Knockout!" Tsunami cried suddenly, letting go of my servo to run to his previously-Decepticon uncle. "Tsunami!" Knockout cried as the mechling hugged his leg,"Oh, hello, Chardirakii. Galactia, Glowfire." "Come for the view?" I asked as we approached him. "I was actually just about to head back inside,"Knockout replied, patting my sparkling's helms. There was a loud whirring sound coming from below us. "Ah! It's starting," I smiled, then took Tsunami's servo in mine again,"Come quickly." I took them near the edge of the flight pad, then lifted up Galactia so she could see better, as she was the shortest. Optimus came out soon after and lifted both our mechlings onto each shoulder-plate. "Ready?" he asked me, and I nodded. A huge blue beam of light shot from the Omega Lock and spread over the planet. The atmosphere cleared almost at once, all traces of war vanished. Cybertron looked almost completely new, save for the demolished buildings. "We can rebuild," I smiled at Optimus. "And add new buildings," he added. "A school." "A sparkling-sitting place." "And statues will be raised in your memories," a voice said from behind us. I knew who it was long before I turned around. "Sire!" I exclaimed happily, setting Galactia down before hugging him. "Hello, my darkspark," Primus smiled, his mortal form hugging me back,"I came to see my great grand-sparklings." I stepped aside and smiled, letting Primus see the rest of my family. Optimus set down Glowfire and Tsunami, his optics huge. "This is Glowfire, Tsunami, and Galactia," I said,"And my Sparkmate Optimus Prime." "Hello, little ones,"Primus smiled, sitting down cross-legged in front of them. Galactia clung to my leg, unsure of what to make of this new mech. Glowfire cautiously approached Primus while Tsunami stood protectively near Galactia. "Do not be afraid," Primus smiled, opening his arms,"Come greet your great grand-sire...but you can call me Opa for short." Galactia stepped a little closer, then looked uncertainly up at me. "It's alright," I encouraged her,"Go say hi." Tsunami took his sister's servo and together they approached Primus. "H-H-hello, Opa," they said in unison and he smiled widely. "There's no need to be afraid," he said gently, holding out his arms to them. Galactia stepped forwards, then hugged Primus. Glowfire hugged him too, then Tsunami hugged him last. Optimus set a servo on my lower back-plate and I leaned against him, watching Primus play with the sparklings. Together, we watched the sun rise on Cybertron, for the first time in the longest time, painting the sky with rich pinks, golds, and scarlets.
