The Flaming Emissary

Chapter 7

(Just to let you guys know, darkmount is not positioned in Jasper nevada but elsewhere. So it wouldn't be confusing for some of you, thank you and enjoy!! >w<)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Reiscorn was furious, his flames spreading across the deck in small streaks. Everyone now was gathered on the flight deck, all in shock at the sudden disaster.

 "Surround and contain Reiscorn, don't step any further to him." Ordered Megatron to his troops. 

They circled Reiscorns frame avoiding his flames as best they could, Reiscorn was snarling at their approach. His flames rose from his form of their presence, his stance ready for anything. Reiscorns mind was full of rage and fury but deep inside, he was weeping. 'How could they do this to them, why couldn't I save them?!' 

He spread his hissing wings high above his head and rose into the air and slammed back down onto the deck sending a wave of flames around him, catching onto the nearby troops. They screamed in the searing pain of being melted alive, their audience gasping at their cries.  Their screaming faded into muffled moans of agony, all that was left were pools of purple, black, and gray littered around the deck.

Reiscorn hissed, his glare turned to his audience. They all flinched from his coming gaze, he stalked over to them. A trail of scorch marks was all that he left behind as he stride to Megatron directly, everyone else stumbled back but Megatron and Predaking. Reiscorn stood right above Megatron glaring down at Megatron as his heat was burning Megatron's chassis. Reiscorn growled and hissed, his anger not subsiding. 

"Reiscorn, if you would like to say something say it now or we would turn to more aggressive options." megatron advised.

Reiscorn in turn just growled, his anger was so bright that only in this state he can use telepathy but it was a rare gift to very few. 

" 'Where are they?' "Reiscorn demanded.

"Most impressive, I see that only in this state you can speak. Elaborate on 'they' if I may ask?"

" 'Where are the Autobots hiding!?' "

"We have not yet acquired their location, their base lies somewhere on this planet. This planet is far too vast to pinpoint their current location, for it would take months to find them." Megatron explained.

Reiscorn hissed at his response, " 'Where was the location of the first sighting of the Autobots?' "  

Soundwave came up next to megatron showing the coordinates of the sighting on his visor, " 'Then that is the place I will find them, how far is this aircraft from that location?' "

"It will take time to arrive at that destination from darkmount, it will take about a week" megatron responded.

" 'That will take too long, I need to get there now!!!' " Reiscorn ordered his flames erupting from his sudden frustration.

Reiscorn rose from the flight deck and flew off toward Nevada, his flames spread larger as he flew. His speed was slow but he was gaining more ground that way, his anger was fueling him as his thoughts echoed in his processor. 

Megatron watched as he saw Reiscorn fading from his view, "Starscream, I want you and Predaking to follow Reiscorn. I want nothing to happen to our new asset, he still has lots to learn from this new era of war."

"Of course my lord, but if I may ask..why am I bringing this dense processed beast with me?" starscream asked his tone at a hiss.

"For if you lose sight of him, you can track him using this dense processed beast that you call" he answered as he walked past him heading back inside the ship. Everyone left to go back about their usual duties while Starscream and Predaking remained on the flight deck. 

"Come on before we lose him" he grumbled transforming and flying off in the direction of Reiscorn. Predaking hissed and raised his wings and beat against the air and flew after the two.

Starscream flew across the sky following reiscorns bright trail of light, 'Why must I always look after you Reiscorn; almost embarrassed me in front of Lord Megatron, but you healed my wounded leg at the cave, also you didn't contain your emotions but who would've when they've just been told that their whole race was destroyed and almost forgotten to find out that our home is dead...no one could take in so much and hold it in. His reaction when I first saw him was unexpected but after seeing his shift of attitude to anger that was to be expected by any other.'

Predaking caught up to Starscream, they flew side by side getting closer to reiscorn's burning frame. Starscream sped ahead and flew to Reiscorns side above his enormous wings, "What are you planning to do when we get there Reiscorn?"

Reiscorn turned his head looking at starscreams alt mode as he flew below him, he hissed and twirled around starscreams form tucking his wings in as he twisted around him. His movements had the appearance of a form of the flow of grace, his wings never touching starscreams. He continued his graceful movements around starscream, he howled in joy at his company. Reiscorn's anger was still there but just waiting until the time was right, starscream was puzzled by his sudden change of mood.

Predaking just stared at Reiscorn's fluent motions around starscream, he hissed in jealousy. His flames were dying down a bit, Predaking noticed as his wings were flickering against the wind. Predaking sped up and blew fire at Reiscorn's dissipating wings, Reiscorn hissed at Predaking for disrupting his dance. He snapped at his neck as Predaking backed away, he hissed at him while Reiscorn's fury surfaced once more. He launched himself at  Predaking clawing at his body as Predaking fought against him while trying to keep himself in the air. 

Starscream hovered a good distance from their clashing, "Savages".

Predaking threw Reiscorn off of his body and whipped his tail at Reiscorn's face, leaving scratches across his muzzle and optics. Predaking struck at Reiscorn, pushing him down as they free-fell. They were tangled with one another as they fell; they slashed, bit, and blew enormous breaths of fire. Starscream couldn't tell who had the upper hand,  "You fools, if you don't stop this pointless fighting you'll both be on the ground dead if you don't pull up!!!!" starscream warned yelling out at them. 

They both looked down realizing that the ground was nearing them fast, they spread their wings wide catching the air as it stretched their wings out painfully. They skipped across the ground barely grazing it as they glided right above it as dust scattered below them, starscream was relieved that they caught their fault and caught themselves in time. Both gained back their altitude beside starscream and continued their course.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darkness fell over them, their wings growing weary from their nonstop voyage.

" 'Let us find shelter and rest till first light' " Reiscorn suggested as he looked over his surroundings.

"There, that cave under the undergrowth of trees" starscream directed.

They dove down to the cave that starscream had pointed out, starscream transformed while Reiscorn and Predaking landed. Predaking tucking his wings in as Reiscorn's dyed out, they walked inside and settled for the night. Starscream leaned against the wall and fell straight into recharge, Predaking curled up far deeper inside the cave. Reiscorn sat near the cave entrance and gazed out into the starry sky, 'What a marvelous sky, how can a world like this contain such a sight like this while they overlook it? It is such a blessing to behold, I wish the others could've lived longer to see this with me...if only.'  

Reiscorn sat up and headed deeper inside the cave, he lay beside starscream until he maneuvered over to his frame leaning against him for warmth. Reiscorn curled up around Starscream's small figure and slightly warmed his plating for the seeker, his optics remained open as he was lost in his thoughts. Slowly drifting recharge, he tightened his posture around starscream and closed his optics as he went into recharge. 

'The night is always in several ways beautiful to our sight, we overlook it as we rest from the day. Some find it as a sign of wonder while others look to it for answers, for me..*chuckles*I gaze to it as a symbol of my hope and desires waiting to be reached..for someday..I WILL grasp this form of hope..to finally go home at last....'
