Rise | Transformers Prime fanfic

Chapter 126

The three humans gazed in awe at the sight that Unicron had presented before them. "Predacons?" Poet gasped as he stepped forward and stared down at the tiny creatures in front of them.

"How are they here?" Poet asked and looked at his master. "We managed to get some information out of that pesky scientist's helm before he permanently offlined." Unicron explained with his servos folded behind his back before looking at Poet and the other two.

"I see you have studied lots of our history. Does the same go for the two of you?"

Reaper and Tech nodded their heads with frowns upon their faces. Unicron looked pleased as he picked up one of the sparking Predacons as it jumped around its siblings.

"Good. Because I have your first task, Reaper."

The white haired girl perked up hearing that and looked excited. "How can I serve you, master?" She asked. Unicron lowered his servo that held the Predacon and plopped it into the girl's arms, taking her by surprise.

"I do hope you know some fighting skills you can teach these sparklings."

Reaper caught on and grinned. "Yes, of course, my liege." She said as the other Predacons saw their sibling curling up in her arms as a child would to its mother and quickly scurried over to get some attention as well.

"Now, come Tech, Poet. We have much more to discuss. And soon, once these ones are grown—" Unicorn motioned to Predacons that climbed over Reaper as she kneeled down and squawked.

"—we shall take over Cybertron...my way."

Poet and Tech disappeared alongside their master, leaving Reaper alone with the tiny Predacons.

There was six total, and she absolutely adored each other them. "Hi little ones." She cooed and they squawked happily as they rubbed against her and bounced around.

"Well, I guess we gotta come up with some names for each of you."

Reaper looked at the one in her arms, curled up and almost asleep. He was gray all over, and he had his tongue sticking out slightly as he fell sleep. "Stone...tongue. Stonetongue. You're as heavy as one too." Reaper said as she set him down on the floor gently and stood up.

The other predacons looked up at her, as if waiting patiently for their designations. A mech, blue Predacon pounced around her and she noticed his tail kept transforming back and forth into a shield.

"What's going on with you, blue buddy? Hmmmm...blue...Blue...Blueshield!" She said and the Predacon squawked happily at the name. She gazed to the next one and saw one yellow eye and one white eye staring at her. "Look at you, lil fella." She said and the Predacon squawked.

"Iceeye. Is that complicated? Nah, it's fine. It suites you." The femme Predacon seemed to agree as she cooed happily. Reaper looked at the next one that was pouncing around her playfully and noticed her played shifting and changing colors into beautiful looking galaxy colors.

"Seems like your had the whole ass galaxy painted on your plates. I can't not put that in your name." Reaper thought hard for the femmes name. "Galaxytail."

The next one was a bright colored Predacon and she looked happy to have Reaper there with her. "Man...you're colorful." The femme pawed at her shoes as Reaper thought.

"Neon...moon. Neonmoon. I love that Brooks and Dunn song."

The last one Reaper looked at was a Mech, orange colored Predacon who was sniffing around her ankles. "Alright, Fido. Let's calm down here." She said with a chuckle and picked him up. He continued to sniff but this time wagged his tail as he did.

"You look like the sun...that'll be a good one...Sun...Sun...Suntracker!" She exclaimed and the Predacon looked happy at the name.

Reaper looked around happily at the Predacons she now had to raise and sighed. "This...is going to be an interesting ride...but only to please, my master." She whispered before turning and walking toward the door with the Predacons quickly following after her.

Megatron gazed out of the cage window, not breaking his stare at all from the full moon outside as he thought back on the times before Unicron happened.

His mind swirled in anger, tanks turning at the thought. He could only wish he'd see any of his friends now and have one last moment with a certain blonde haired girl.

"Megatron?"

The Decepticon leader snapped out of his thoughts to the sound of his old friend, tearing his gaze away from the moon to look at the red and blue Mech.

"Perhaps you should power down." Optimus suggested as he walked away slowly. "I think I would be if I could." Megatron said bluntly and Optimus could never hold back his smile whenever he could see the effects of Amalgamous poking out of Megatron's personality.

"What is on your mind, old friend?"

"Optimus, you always had a talent of putting your ped in your mouth."

Optimus chuckled. "I did not want to assume, but I figured you were thinking of her." Megatron nodded with a glum look. Optimus sat down next to him and looked up at the moon.

"What is reminding you of her?"

Megatron looked back at it with the Prime and sighed. "Amalgamous loved the moon. She always dragged me out to see the full moon and talked on and on about getting to set foot on it one day, and she went on and on about how jealous she was that I got to see a lot more than just the moon."

Megatron smirked slightly. "Eventually took her to shut her up. Think it did the opposite. Despite walking on Cybertron multiple times, she talked about the moon more."

Megatron's smile faded and the Prime set a servo on his shoulder plate. "I know, old friend..."

Megatron swallowed.

"And I would've taken her many more times, had I of known this would've happened."

And with that the two Mechs sat in silence until their tiredness took over and they powered down without realizing it after staring at the full moon for hours.

What they hadn't realized, was it seemed the moon was a beacon of hope. Because from each cell that an Autobot or Decepticon was being held, they were all looking at it, praying one day that something or somebody will come along to stop the madness of Unicorn.

And all they needed to do was wait, and hope, that it will come soon, before it's too late.
