Kynight sighed to herself as she stretched out in her own re-charge berth. A quiet smile spread over her face plate. Primus had removed his curse on her and this passed week had been exciting with renewing old friendship and finding out what she had missed these passed hundred years.
“MOM!” Came a bellow from outside of her door. A huge smile spread over Kynight face plate as she sat up.
“Come in!” Kynight called out as she lend back. So that she was propped up against the back board. Teenagers bolted into the room and the oldest jumped on the bed quickly followed by his two brothers. Kynight burst out laughing as she received a bunched of flowers, a tray with the daily news pad on it and a cup of steaming energon.
“Mom!” Kytag called as he flung himself into Kynight, engulfing her in a bear hug. The others followed suit nearly toppling everything onto the floor.
“Oh, I’ve missed you all. I still can’t believe how much you all have grown!” Kynight said to her children; Kytag, Kywave and Kyslip.
“Oh we missed you too, mom.” Kywave responded as all the heads suddenly turned, someone just entered the Manor. Kynight cocked an optics as foot steps were heard on the stairs. Eolian entered the room to four pair of worried optics.
“Well! Don’t look so worried, I’m not Primus for heavens sake!” Eolian laughed as she entered the room.
* * *
(Place Earth)
Optimus sighed as he read over the report. One name keep coming up. Hot Rod. Ever since he had use the Matrix to restore order to life and Rodimus had once more become Hot Rod something had changed. There was a knock on the door causing Optimus Prime to look up as Aleeta-one entered his office.
“What wrong?” Aleeta asked as he couldn’t hid anything from his mate. Optimus sighed as he lend back in his chair..... “Hot Rod”
Aleeta nodded, this was the one thing that keep coming up between them. Rodimus had done a very good job in Optimus absence but now that he was back to being Hot Rod, if there was trouble he in the middle of it.
“I thought you would like to know that the Quint has brought Ironhide and Wheeljack back on-line.” Aleeta said as she sat down on the desk top looking at her mate. Optimus smile beneath his face mask. Rodimus had given the Quint a sanctuary and in return he was now bring back all their falling companions. If had been pure luck that the Moslem had only broke up and not been destroy, leaving all the bodies intact.
“Prowl on the list next.” Aleeta said as she took Optimus hand in her own.
“Then let’s go. I miss our old friends.” Optimus said as he tighten his grip on Aleeta’s hand and got up pulling her along with him.
* * *
Hot Rod stared down at Autobot city. It looked so quit and peaceful, nothing like he was feeling right now. Look out mountain, memories pushed forward as Hot Rod took a step forward, it would be easy and everyone would be better off. He wouldn’t have to hear the Matrix call, everyone talk or deal with all the looks. He could be at peace and the restlessness would cease.
* * *
Primus frowned, as his attention was focused to a spark that was in flux. Something was terrible wrong and his plans weren’t being followed. Narrowing in Primus parted time and space and took in the scene, his chosen one was about to leave the world of the living by one more step.
Optimus Prime jumped as the Matrix sparked within him.
“Optimus??” Wheeljack asked as he noticed his leader suddenly seemed elsewhere.
“Ultra Magnus! Where Hot Rod?” Optimus said to his com-link. Something was terrible wrong. Aleeta looked very worried as she stared at her mate. Ironhide turned to Wheeljack and the two shared a look.
“I not sure. Why? What has he done now?” Magnus responded not happy that he was lately chasing after the youth. Rodimus/ Hot Rod wasn’t himself and he couldn’t put a finger on it.
* * *
Primus whispered up a small storm to try and buy some time. He just hope that Hot Rod would co-operation. Moving faster then light, Primus returned to his home, Paix. There was only one being he would trust with this, a mother and a daughter.
Moving into the Manor, Primus heard laughter and felt joy. A slight pain entered his being know that he was going to take away that laughter and joy for time.
Kynight laughed as Eolian jumped onto her recharging bed. She was so happy to be home with her friends and family. Without any notice, Primus was suddenly there and all the laughter ceased.
“Daughter, I beg you, come. I have need of you, a life hangs in the balance.” Primus said as he held out his hand to his granddaughter.
“NO!!!” Kytag yelled as he jumped off the bed and put himself in-between his mother and Primus. Kynight would have paled if she had be able too. Primus had forgive her for something she never did, but he could easily curse her again and take away her children and home. Five hundreds years had been too long without them, she couldn’t ... she dare not dis-obey him now, dare she?
“Kytag.... it’s okay. I’ll be back.” Kynight whispered, she couldn’t risk being out casted again. For a second Kynight wished that Sphere was here, but she let him go, giving him his freedom.
“Give me your hand.” Primus said, he was slightly confused at his granddaughter, she usually put up a fuss but instead she gave in without a word of protest. Kynight nodded as she bought her legs down onto the floor and reached out for Primus’ hand. Quickly grasping her hand, they both disappeared, leaving the room cold and bleak.
* * *
Hot Rod blinked his optics as his head went skyward, rain dripped down. It was light but never the less.... Suddenly Hot Rod com-link went off.
“HOT ROD! Where are you?” Ultra Magnus’ voice boomed out over the link. Roddy knew his friend was worried, it was something that he just knew sometimes. Not that he understood how he just knew things, but he did. Sometimes it scared him, other time it seemed natural.
Primus moved within and without and entered real time, “Kynight, my chosen one is in pain, he needs someone to look after him for a while. So I ask you be him guardian angel till he regains his senses.”
Kynight optics opened wide, then she looked down at the scene before her. Hot Rod was at the edge of the mountain cliff. Her mother’s heart cried, she knew. She was caught too in Primus’ plans, she understood. Pulling her hand away from Primus’ Kynight entered the realm with a bang of thunder.
Hot Rod head whipped around and he saw a Transformer seemly wrestling with a few trees not far from him. At first he chuckled at Springer, but then noticed the being that was trying to pull herself free was definably not Springer.
“Hot Rod! Report!” Ultra Magnus bellowed over the com, fearing growing in his soul.
“Darling, could you give me a hand.” Kynight asked as she seemed to lose her battle with the trees. Hot Rod smirked as he moved forward to give the female a hand. The com-link bussed with Ultra Magnus voice.
The first thing Hot Rod noticed was the female wasn’t wearing armor but soft material. Slightly confused but interested Hot Rod bent one of the trees down. Kynight gave a grateful sigh and bounced free.
“Could you please tell me where I am?” Kynight asked, smiling warmly at her charge. Primus nodded above and departed to search fate, to find out answers.
“Yeah, We’ve on Earth, Look out Mountain to be precise.” Hot Rod responded somewhat taken back at the female’s angelic look.
“Well, it’s about time! Get your butt back to base now!” Ultra Magnus yelled as the com-link went off. Hot Rod frowned, looking slightly mad. Magnus wasted no time in contacting Optimus Prime.
“Well, should we go to the base? Oh.. yes. My name is Kynight.... um....” Kynight voice trailed off, how the heck do you tell someone that your their guardian Angel? Kynight had no idea where to begin.
“I guess.” Hot Rod muttered as he poked the ground with the front of his foot, “call me Hot Rod.”
“All right then, which way?” Kynight asked gently using her mother instinct to help guide her. Hot Rod glance up, blinking his optics and just noticed that the ran had stopped, and the day was starting to brighten up. An engine racing reached their audio sensors as both turned, Optimus Prime form became visible.
“Great.” Hot Rod muttered turning back to Kynight, to find she was gone. Kynight said nothing, she had felt a force and her vision had changed. It was similar to walking between places, yet different, so it must have something to do with being an Angel.
“Kynight? Where you go?” Hot Rod called like a child. Kynight moved next to him and place a claming hand on his shoulder, willing her strength to him. Hot Rod paused, a great peace filled him and he didn’t hear the matrix’s call as loudly as before.
“Hot Rod!?” Optimus yelled as he transformed to robot mode. Hot Rod sensed the worry and concern but remain still.
“Yes, Optimus.” Came the clam respond. Optimus stopped something was different.... something...... Optimus shook it off.
“Where have you been?” Optimus demanded as he moved forward to stand in front of the youth. Hot Rod wanted to back away, but felt something behind him asking hi to be strong, to stand tall.
“I was looking down at Autobot city. It seemed so peaceful.” Hot Rod muttered as he look over across the city. The matrix was whispered to him. Why didn’t Optimus understood the pain his closest caused him. Kynight optics dimmed as she heard Hot Rod’s painful whisper.
“Hot Rod... tell him...” Kynight whispered into Hot Rod’s audio sensor. Hot Rod shook, he thought, just for second that he heard a voice asking him to open up to Optimus.
“Roddy, you okay?” Optimus asked worried beyond normal. Had Hot Rod been close to the end? Had the Matrix tried to warn him? That shudder, what was that about? What was going on? Optimus squared his shoulder, Hot Rod was going to talk to him. This had gone on far enough. Enough secrets on both sides.
“Course! What could be wrong?” Hot Rod said brightly. Kynight sighed and knocked him softly on the back of the head. Hot Rod optics got large as he began to turn around.
“Hot Rod?” Optimus said gently as he noticed his optics got huge. Hot Rod quickly turned back to Optimus as he reached out for him. Hot Rod jumped back, Kynight moved out of the way. Cursing softly, she demanded that Hot Rod tell Optimus what was happening to him.
“Hot Rod, what is wrong?” Optimus asked feeling helpless. The sound of engines bought all three head around. Aleeta-one and Kup drove up. Hot Rod quickly moved around Optimus looking for a quick break.
“Ugh, why is nothing even easy?” Kynight whispered into the air as Aleeta and Kup transformed.
“I don’t know why, but they never are.” Hot Rod whispered back as the two came forward.
“What was that Hot Rod?” Optimus asked, Hot Rod was acting so strange and perhaps he was malfunction? Hot Rod jumped and turned around, he has sworn that someone... gods, what was happening to him? Was he finally losing it? Now he was hearing things? Aleeta gave Optimus a worried look, Hot Rod’s back was turned to them and he keep looking from side to side, seemly trying to find something.
“Lad.” Kup said gently as he placed his hand on Hot Rod’s shoulder. Hot Rod jumped as Kup pulled him along, Kynight groaned, this simply wasn’t going well.
“But.” Hot Rod began to protest as Aleeta took his other arm and began to help Kup guide him down the mountain.
“UGH.” Kynight groaned, she was getting a bad circuit ache. Looking at Optimus Prime’s back side, Kynight wondered if he’d feel a good swift kick? Optimus looked skyward, feeling helpless, “Primus, please help us.”
Jumping suddenly Optimus turned and look about. That was... Optimus shook his head, just the wind. Kynight smiled, maybe she could do this job, now to catch up with Roddy.
* * *
Springer glanced at Arcee. Aleeta and Kup came into view leading Hot Rod in. First Aide and Ratchet were there on stand by. Arcee gave a small cry under her breath, Hot Rod decided it was time to give them a hard time and Ratchet and First Aide began to take action.
Hot Rod felt Ratchet and First Aide’s concern before he actually saw them. He was being overwhelmed by the worry and concern around him, he need to get away. Kynight placed her hand, flat against the back of Hot Rod’s neck and spoke softly, Optimus was right behind her.
“Hot Rod stop struggling, let them take you to the med-bay. Don’t worry I’m here for you, yes I am real. There is no easy way to say this so here it is- I’m your guardian angel.”
Hot Rod face plate spoke volumes- shock, disbelieve and amazement. Ratchet didn’t like what he saw, something was wrong with Hot Rod and he feared that it was something he couldn’t fix.
Both medics to note that Hot Rod stopped struggling and allowed himself to be lead towards the med-bay. Ratchet nodded to First Aide as he moved towards Optimus Prime.
“Ratchet.” Optimus said in a gloomy greeting as he stopped next to the medic. He noticed a small group of Transformers about, rumors would be flying would be flying in hours.
“Optimus, I’m not sure I can help Hot Rod.” Ratchet said softly. Kynight snorted to herself as she jumped forward, sprinting to catch up with her charge.
Optimus head turned sadly to Ratchet, “Why?"
“I do not believe it’s bodily damage. I .... I think that it’s mental.” Ratchet said as Optimus jerked back, it couldn’t .... could it? Optimus’ hand went over his chest covering, the Matrix inside, seemed to hum. Ratchet took notice of Optimus’ reaction and a thought suddenly accrued to him.
* * *
“Jeez... these guys need to chill.” Kynight muttered as they fussed over Hot Rod. Hot Rod for his part turned towards Kynight’s voice.
“Now lad, you just let First Aide do some test then you can go rest.” Kup said reassure as the doors opened and Ultra Magnus walked in. Aleeta worked her lips, she had been worried before, but now she was far beyond that.
“Hey.... not hat way to evil, and I’m suppose to be an angel.” Kynight sighed as about hundred thought entered her mind. Hot Rod groaned as he lend his head down and bought his hand to his head. He couldn’t believe this was..... happening..... and Guardian angel? And one that only he could hear that was talking about doing evil things? What kind of Angel was this?
“Hot Rod.” Aleeta called as she saw him slumped over, “First Aide!”
First Aide was there in an instantly pushing Hot Rod down on the examine table. Hot Rod blinked his optics as he allowed Aleeta and First Aide to lay him back.
“Yo! That a good one! They actually think that something wrong with you! You could seriously play this!” Kynight beamed as she took a seat by Hot Rod’s head. Hot Rod face plate twisted in confusion, Primus sent him the oddest Angel. Then again, why did he need an Angel?
“Don’t worry, Roddy, we’re here for you.” Magnus whispered as he sat down next to his friend. Hot Rod gave Magnus a confused look.
“Magnus, what am I doing in med-bay?” Hot Rod asked as First Aide began one of the test. Magnus looked stricken as he took Hot Rod’s hand, patting it. Kynight lost it and burst out laughing.
“Don’t worry, I’m here.” Magnus said trying to give comforted to his friend. Hot Rod face plate had changed, looking slightly shocked again.
“Ugh.. what going on?” Hot Rod asked as he looked at the place Kynight sat, which lucky for him was close to were First Aide was working.
“I’m just doing some tests. Hot Rod when was the last time you re-charged?” First Aide asked, Hot Rod energy levels were off and it looked like his recharging pattern was all screwed up.
“Oh... better tell the truth or else.” Kynight chucked as she un-crossed her legs, blinked, and moaned to herself, ‘Great, I’m stuck here in my without proper armor!’ Kynight slumped her head.. this was somehow seeming normal, just because it was her demented life.
Hot Rod was getting very worried, this Guardian Angel wasn’t acting like any Angel he ever read about.
“Hot Rod??” First Aide asked as he turned around to his patient.
“I don’t know.” Hot Rod muttered fidgeting. Ultra Magnus look up at First Aide. Ratchet and Optimus walked in. Aleeta gave Optimus a look, that was all he need to know that they had found something wrong with Hot Rod. Optimus felt a little relieved.
“Okay, everyone out, lets give the doctors some space.” Optimus ordered. Hot Rod didn’t show it but inside he flinched.
“Well, okay mister, I’m staying... and there nothing you can do about it.” Kynight said as she crossed her arms. Hot Rod glanced in her direction and blinked, the Angel seemed to have a lot of attitude, which he wasn’t sure he like or not. Everyone left the room. Kynight sighed, Ratchet moved over to First Aide and looked over his finding.
“Hot Rod! You aren’t recharging properly....... what this?” Ratchet asked as he took notice of the pass read outs. First Aide stopped the machine and printed out the date.
“This is ..... must of just happened.” First Aide muttered, the read out had jumped to the extreme levels and then returned back. Ratchet slowly turned towards the door. Kynight jumped up and ran over to Ratchet, “That it! You got the idea!!!”
Placing her hand on his back, Kynight sent the image of the Matrix to Ratchet, hoping he would get it. Ratchet lend back a little, “Turn the machine back on.”
First Aide nodded as Ratchet turned back and radioed Optimus, “Optimus, please come to med-bay, A.S.A.P.”
First Aide gave Ratchet an odd look, as within a minute Optimus Prime returned to the med-bay.
“What wrong!??” Optimus asked deeply worried to be called back so soon. Hot Rod pulled back and tried to protect himself from the Matrix’s call. Ratchet mouth dropped open, the reading were changing before his optics. Kynight smiled, and moved back towards Hot Rod. Optimus moved closer, “Ratchet!?”
“STOP!! Out of the room now!” Ratchet screamed at Optimus, running towards him. Optimus was so startled that Ratchet was able to remove him from the room very easily. First Aide glanced at Hot Rod who was turning on his side away from the direction of Optimus, then nodded to himself as the reading returned to normal, and went to talk to Ratchet.
“You know, Roddy, they are starting to figure it out. You can’t keep it in, your going to have to tell them sooner or later. The choice is your, and I will be here to listen, and even try to kick some rear-end assemble, which I think I’m figuring out how to do.” Kynight beamed. Hot Rod blinked as Kynight began visible.
“I can see you!” Hot Rod gasped as Kynight turned to him.
“Really? Whoa, must be that you can only see me when no one else is around. I must apologize, your my first assignment, and I didn’t get a handbook or anything. Sorta just got dropped off..... but then again, I think you remember that.” Kynight chuckled as Hot Rod slowly smiled.
“Your an weird Angel.” Hot Rod muttered noticing that the female was indeed the one he had meet earlier this morning on look out mountain.
“Oh, and you’ve meet a lot of Angels before?” Kynight returned as she turned back to the door, “I’m going to go listen in okay? I’ll give you an update later.”
Kynight bolted out of the room and nearly into Ratchet and Optimus moving from one foot to another she listened carefully.
“Optimus, I think the matrix maybe effecting Hot Rod. His readings are nearly normal but when you're there they jump almost, yes, I’d say like Hot Rod was in pain.” Ratchet said seriously, his body movement showing his worry.
(shock) Optimus’ optics got huge, his mouth dropped in his Battlemask. The Matrix hummed comformation.
“Well it’s about time.” Kynight whispered to herself, crossing her arms.
“Hot Rod?” First Aide asked as he noticed Hot Rod’s reading slowly dipped, nearing rest mode.
“Ugh...” Hot Rod muttered as his optics turned off. First Aide smiled to himself as he continued to watch the monitors.
“Do you think that everything’s all right?” Kup whispered, he was terribly worried about his young friend. Magnus’s body didn’t move but his optics showed extreme worry and concern.
“They’ll tell us when their ready.” ALeeta said toneless as her face plate tightened.
“The Matrix? Ratchet, what can I do?” Optimus said helpless as he flared his arms and opened them and his hands opened.
Ratchet shook his head, he didn’t know what to do. Kynight frowned and stared at her feet, she didn’t have any answers either. Looking at the two lost souls before her, she turned around and headed b ack to Hot Rod’s side.
Pausing, she watched First Aide off to the side working on Hot Rod’s tests. Moving forward Kynight sat back down near his head and worked her bottom lip.
“Hot Rod... I just realized something. I don’t know how to stop the pain. I can teach you to block the Matrix mentally but if there is real pain, I don’t...Primus didn’t tell me...slag him anyhow, always doing things and never truly knowing those he hurts...ha...guess we are just pawns in his great game.” Kynight muttered bitterly, suddenly angry at herself, everything and everyone for having to do what everyone expected of her. The right things in life, for once she wanted to make her own rules and have other play by them. To direct the chess pieces and not be the piece.
“You’re right...we are just pieces on a board.” Hot Rod whispered as he left his optics turned off. Kynight jumped slightly realizing that he was faking rest mode...very well too she noted.
“You know, I didn’t think I liked you at first, but I realized that you’re just like me. Lost in someone else’s story.” Hot Rod muttered, being quiet as to not alert First Aide.
“Yeah...Hot Rod... I can teach you control and hell I can show you a lot, but only you can apply what I teach you.” Kynight said smartly, ideas forming in her CPU. Dangerous ones, one Primus’ wouldn’t like...ones no one would like. Change was life and Kynight’s ideas and spark was beginning to change right now.
* * *
Primus’ frowned, the fates showed him nothing, yet everything. Right now he hated ridddles. Future suddenly gasped, Primus turned to her quickly as Present smiled.
“You’re chosen one will have a long, eventfull life, thanks to your daughter.” Future muttered as Present nodded her head as well and Past cocked an eye brow.
“Ah...Kynight done it! Wonderful child. I shall give her a few more days heck even more if she needs it!” Primus laughed as he turned, without and left the fates.
“Ugh...my dear, I don’t believe that the future is what he desired.” Future muttered, Present smirked as Past turned to her two sisters.
“He didn’t not ask anything other than his champion to live, he has that answer.” Past responded.
“Well-live yes...but not as his...” Future muttered as she began to smirk as well.
“Unfortunately, the Matrix is a link to Primus, so contact with it will leave you open to his will. We might be able to change that. Shielding is a start, a wall in your mind..whatever works best, but remember that everything has a force or essence to it and you can use that as well. Air even.” Kynight began as she looked over to the door as Ratchet entered the room.
Hot Rod tried to picture this...strange thoughts...stranger ideas.
“Hot Rod, perhaps a better word is ‘energy’?” Kynight muttered as she moved towards First Aide and Ratchet, feeling rare nosey.
Hot Rod suddenly felt Kynight move away and snapped his optics back on, turned towads the two medics as he did so... ’she’s right! I could feel her move away from me.’ Hot Rod thought wildly as his thoughts and patterns began to change as well. The monitors showed his awakefullness.
“Ah, you’re up! How do you feel?” Ratchet asked as he moved over towards Hot Rod, hearing it beep as Hot Rod’s energy levels rise.
Concern floored Hot Rod’s senses, as Ratchet came forward.
“Hot Rod block it! a wall! Tell him to move back that he is drowning you!” Kynight screamed as she ran back to his side. Ratchet’s optics blinked, he had the strangest sensation.
“Ratchet! Please don’t come any closer! You’re worry is over power me!” Hot Rod grounded out as he jumped off the table away from Ratchet. First Aide looked shocked as he wa tched a few reading changes then cease. Hot Rod left the table.
“Hot Rod?” Ratchet asked surprised as he seemed in pain. Hot Rod grabbed the table edge and grimmaced in pain. A wall...a wall...how?
“Of Brick? Steal? Energy? Try one or all...” Kynight said standing next to him, carefull not to touch him. He needs to learn this on his own and it was better without the Matrix nearby.
Hot Rod pictured himself, then pulling air in and pushing it out he pictured the air full of energy , condensing, becoming whole, solid.
“That’s it.” Kynight whispered, nodded her approval a slight smile appeared as well.
“Hot Rod?” Ratchet asked more forcefully as Hot Rod powered up one-opticed.
“Please stop being concerned, I’m going to be fine. A little control is all I need.” Hot Rod said confidently pushing himself right up from the table.
“What do you...eeee!” Ratchet began as the battle alarm went off. Lights flashed as Hot Rod took off instantly.
Kynight gasped, what the hell! Ratched frowned as he readied his equipment. Hot Rod would answer him after they pushed the Decepticons back.
“Hot Rod!” Kynight mentally screamed as she ran after him. His state wasn’t the best and this really wasn’t the best idea either.
Hot Rod ran through the door, his only thought...get away from Ratchet before he asked another question.
The sounds of battle erupted as the doors opened. A blast of hot air, mixed with dirt swirled around Hot Rod and slowly filtered into Kynight. Specks of her image sparked and faded, then glowed. Hot Rod’s optics focused and his wall bent inward. Emotions were high and he wasn’t prepared for the onslaught.
“Hot Rod! Focus! Call the energy, fill you’re spark.” Kynight ordered as the dirty air brought her legs into being. Hot Rod turned toward her voice and noticed the shapely leg as the air current moved causing it to disappear once more.
“Angels...don’t exist, do they? Then neither does my wall.” Hot Rod smirked as his wall bulged outward. What existed was up to him, his spark, his heart. Hot Rod’s thoughts jumped, expanded, grew into leaps and bounds. He was new, he was old. He understood, he accepted, he acted.
The wall shot out tentacles and knowledge grew once more. Hot Rod knew where his friends were, where his foes laid.
“Die Autobot!” Scourge screamed as he opened fire on Hot Rod. A slight smile was the reply as the wall repelled the blast. Kynight’s jaw fell open as one of the blasts moved through her, passing her.
“How?” Kynight whispered as Scourge wsa suddenly thrown through the air. Springer jumped as Sourge’s body landed next to him. Cyclonus yelped as Scuorge moaned and transformed looking scared.
“Leave...or else.” Hot Rod’s too calm voice sang out as the smoky and dirty air parted and he walked through.
“Run! He’s a demon!” Scourge screamed as he ran to Cyclonus.
“Fools! Kill him!” Galvatron’s insane voice turned out as he appeared close by. Optimus’s form could be seen behind him.
“No, you’re not a demon...you are part of Primus...of everything...even me.” Kynight quietly spoke behind her charge as Hot Rod had a sudden flash of fear. Nodding to Kynight, Hot Rod took air in and released it in a sigh. He knew. He understood, he was different, he was made this way, he accepted, he forgave.
Optimus stared at Scourge’s out cry, Hot Rod...what...the Matrix seemed to jump back in surprise, something had changed, It was not expected, but it was welcomed.
Cyclonus growled as he took aim and let loose a few shots at Hot Rod. Kynight smiled as a mother would at a child she was proud of.
Hot Rod’s hand jumped up and the shots peeled around him following his shielding. His face plate dropped. Springer’s optics got huge, Optimus wasn’t sure what he just saw...Hot Rod in the middle of laser blast? Unharmed?
“Freak!” Galvatron screamed at the top of his vocals as he took aim and let loose a blast. Hot Rod pulled energy into his shield. The blast hit his shield and seemed to merger with it, cause color to mingled in the shield, giving it a yellowish tint and making it visible.
“Don’t listen to his words. You are NOT a freak. Yes, we are both different, but that only makes us special, unique upon this world.” Kynight spoke softly, she was proud of Hot Rod, he had taken her words and made the real, something she had trouble doing. A thought flashed in Kynight’s processors and she bent her mind to the task. Angels, they were suppose to have wings, and she missed them in her Decepticons form, so why couldn’t she have the in her Autobot mode, wasn’t she a Angel of Primus?
“Roddy, whatever happens, don’t always belief Primus, belief in yourself. You have the strength, the power to make your dreams come true. Everything you will always need is inside of you. My job is done, maybe not as Primus wanted, but you are who you are, and you are free. Follow your heart, my child.” Kynight said softly as she filled her spark with the abilities that Primus had bestow on her for this mission.
Hot Rod jerked around as he hear Kynight’s words and felt energy emit from her general area. Suddenly the wind picked up and the a blindly white light filled the battle field. Kynight let air out of her system, she had done it, she had grown wings and better yet she had made her body solid. The fighting had stopped and everyone’s optics had re-focused to Hot Rod and the one time light. No one knew what to think. An beautiful female Transformer with soft feathery bird like wings stood near him. She was smiling, nodding to Hot Rod and Hot Rod suddenly beamed back.
“Thank you.” Hot Rod said as he nodded back.
“Your welcome.” Kynight said, her soft words boomed out across the battle field as she opened her wings, and started to gather the wind. Dust kicked up as she took to the air. Frowning suddenly, she turned and gave Hot Rod a look.
“The boss is calling.” Kynight whisper, though it seemed to fill the land. The sky cracked in a oval pattern and a hot white- yellow light burst from it.
“COME.” A powerful voice boomed out shaking the plant slightly, as a golden hand reached down. Kynight looked up and snorted, causing a chuckle to escape from Hot Rod. In a great burst of energy, Kynight soared into the hand, within a few second everything was normal… well, not really.
Hot Rod smirk as he turned back to his friends and foes and thundered out, “THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE AROUND HERE!”
Hehehe, the end? Heck no!
Kynight felt the portal stopped suddenly as she was released, blinking her optics and jaw plate dropped open.
“Hello, my dear.” Unicron said with a amused smirk, “Did you like my little show?”
