"He killed carrier and hurt Dragotron, since you aren't here anymore to protect us. I had to do something or Dragotron would have died like carrier." he barked back at Vigor as his flames erupted.

Vigor backed away, "I'm sorry for leaving you, dragotron and your carrier like that over my duties. I should've been there to help you make wiser choices than this, you are still young Reiscorn. Too young to take a life of another in this world, thats my fault this happened."

Reiscorn's flames faded away leaving a shaken sparkling, tears streamed down Reiscorn's face. He cried out, grieving for his carrier. Reiscorn dropped to the floor weakened by the sudden outburst of his flames, draining his strength from the surge of power.

"Find my Trailfire's body and take this assassin's body to Crystal City, the Primes need to know this as soon as possible." Vigor ordered. Half of the squads took off in search of Trailfire's body while the rest gathered Tempest' limps and frame running and flying off.

Vigor took Reiscorn in his grasp cradling him as he flew off following the guards back towards Crystal City.

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

Vigor looked down at his oldest youngling, barely even a scratch on his plating after the attack. 'What did I do wrong? I was there when he hatched, I was there when his younger sibling hatched. Where did I go wrong?'

They flew over the large settlements outside of Crystal City, his wings spread fairly wide gaining vast distance while some of the guards ran with large strides through those settlements carrying those scorched and broken limbs of the assassin. 

Vigor and the guards arrived outside the front gate, the doors slowly opened revealing Onyx waiting on the other side beside his eldest brother Prima, "Bring the youngling here Commander Vigor, guards take the remains of the assassin to Jhiaxus for examination." ordered Prima, the guards nodded and left the four to themselves as Vigor handed Reiscorn to Onyx. 

Onyx scanned over Reiscorn, "I see nothing wrong with the little one". 

"That's just it Lord Onyx, he has not even a scratch laid on him by the assassin while his younger sibling has some crushed plating and minor internal leakage." Vigor responded.

"Show us Commander" Prima asked, his tone getting a little concerned.

Vigor stride over to the command controls and plugged it into his optic visual memory files, the video feed appeared onto the screen. There Reiscorn's small frame was seen with his flames pulsing all around his body standing atop of the dead stripped corpse of the assassin with its neck cabling and limbs ripped off as energon seeped out from the circuits.  

'Reiscorn?! What happened?!' vigor's voice spoke.

Reiscorn turned his helm to face their visual, his flames were flashing wildly all around his frame. 'I did what had to be done Sire, even if that meant taking the life of another' Reiscorn answered jumping off of the offline predacon.

'Why would you do this?!'

'He killed carrier and hurt Dragotron, since you aren't here anymore to protect us. I had to do something or Dragotron would have died like carrier.' he barked back at Vigor as his flames erupted.

The camera took a step back, 'I'm sorry for leaving you, dragotron and your carrier like that over my duties. I should've been there to help you make wiser choices than this, you are still young Reiscorn. Too young to take a life of another in this world, thats my fault this happened.'
