Forgotten Soul

A Fight for the Crown

  Greywolf explores the ship and trips over his feet, tumbling into the room with the Insecticons, who turned around. The sparkling watches them with wide optics as they walked over to him and one picks him up then carries him to the center of the group.

  "Welcome, little fighter," they rumble together and Greywolf chirps. They play with him for hours, making him giggle happily. One of them places a simple crown on Greywolf's helm, making him smile brightly which made them smile back.

  Suddenly the door slid open and a spider-like femme stalked in. The Insecticons faced her silently. Greywolf tilts his helm curiously at the strange femme.

  "What is a brat like that doing here?" she snaps and struts over to Greywolf then pokes him. He immediately bit her finger, making her yelp. Then she kicks him away, making him yelp, and the Insecticons shudder a little.

  The femme stalks over to Greywolf and pins him with her spider legs. The sparkling struggles by biting and clawing at her legs. She growls and reaches for him when a blast of fire sent her flying back into a wall. Greywolf growls and streaks across the ground then pounces on one of her spider legs, slowly freezing it. She yelps and kicks him away then tries to hit Greywolf when a servo caught her arm.

  "What do you think you're doing, Arachnid?" Starscream asked, coldly. She growls and jerks her arm away.

  "This brat is going to be ripped apart," Arachnid snarls. Greywolf whimpers and hides behind Starscream's legs.

  "No, you are not. He's under my protection and even if I can't stop you, his sire will definitely destroy you," Starscream growls.

  "Who would take care of such a mutt?" Arachnid snaps then yelps as Soundwave's tentacle arms pins her against the wall. Greywolf hurries over to his sire, who instantly picked him up.

  "Arachnid will stop hurting my son," Soundwave's tone of the recording was deathly cold and everyone shivered at how menacing the silent mech was. Greywolf cuddles into Soundwave's chest and Soundwave walks out of the room. Starscream glares at Arachnid before following them.

  "Is he okay?" the seeker asked, worry faintly covering his voice. Soundwave examines his little wolf and nods, letting them both relax. Greywolf whimpers softly and both of the older mechs started to pet him gently, making him calm down.
