(This Story of Kynight and Raggletag takes place between KIDNAPPED and HIDDEN AGENDA)
Raggletag belongs to Tony Tuski
"Kynight, where do you think you're going?" Raggletag demanded as Kynight stopped at the front door.
"Raggs, I am going out with Glacterra for a girls night on the town...Don't worry, Rust-Up and Bond are coming over later to keep you company..." Kynight stated as Raggletag gave her a look of discontentment.
"Raggs, come on, I need time to just...well, get out, please understand." Kynight pleaded, making Raggletag a promise of settling down was just too much for her. Raggletag sighed, Kynight was miserable ever since she promised him no more adventures.
"I understand, babe, go have a blast, but stay out of trouble!" Raggletag warned, with a frown.
"Oh, thanks Raggs!" Kynight yelled as she ran over to Raggletag and gave him a huge kiss. Without a second thought, Kynight bolted out of the door, giving a battle cry as she did so.
* * *
"Ah, Glacterra this is the life." Kynight sighed as she looked out of the space port. Raggletag would be pissed once he realized she left Paix and traveled into another dimension.
"'Night, I gotta go, my clients are waiting." Glacterra said as she got up and left the table.
"Remember, our time table!" Kynight called as she watched Glacterra leave the area.
"Oh, yeah." Kynight sighed as she got up and headed towards the ports.
"Free for the whole day, hope Glacterra can..." Kynight stopped short and quickly side stepped into an alley.
"Hey, remember we only have a twenty-four hour pass!" Motormaster called out as Wildrider began to transform, screaming as he did so.
"Oh, We're not going to attract any attention with him along, are we?" Dead End cried as the Stunticons moved on.
"Oh, great...well, that's life for you." Kynight sighed as Wildrider passed her and the other Decepticons went in the bars direction. Kynight sighed again then smiled,
"What the heck, I'm here to have some fun after all." Chuckling to herself, Kynight whispered, "Transformation." Within an eerie flash, Kynight became a Decepticon fighter jet and stepped out into the street.
Wildrider was coming back around when he stopped short, "Whoa...babe alert. Hey Baby!! What's your number!?!" Kynight turned to see Wildrider transform and walk up to her.
"Now what's a good looking doll like you doing out here by yourself?" Wildrider asked as he came toe to toe with Kynight.
Kynight smiled a most welcomed smile as she responded, "Nothing much...'course if you're willing to show a lady a good time, I might be inclined to stay."
"Oh yeah, Baby, let's rock." Wildrider chuckled as he put his arm around Kynight's shoulders and the two went to catch up to the other Stunticons.
* * *
"Hey who's with Wildrider?" Drag Strip asked as he caught sight of Kynight.
"Hey, guys, what are you waiting for, let's go in and chug a few down." Wildrider laughed wildly.
"Who's your friend, Wildrider?" Breakdown said giving Kynight a nervous look.
"Name's NightStrike boys, and I was promised a good time." Kynight responded with a feminine smile, no use telling them more then they need to know.
"Well, let's not disappoint the lady." Motormaster said with a grin as he moved towards the doorway of the local bar. Kynight smiled as she followed Motormaster into the bar.
* * *
"U...g...h..." Kynight moaned as she came around, what happened? Where was she?
"Well, look who's conscious." An unknown voice said as Kynight's vision began to clear. Looking up, Kynight gasped, what the hell was that!? "Hey, sorry, babe...hahaha.." Wildrider chuckled as he and the other Stunticons collected their payment and left.
"So you are a female Decepticon...rare...perhaps, we should keep her alive." Kynight turned towards the voice, two five faced beings with strange tentacles moved about the beams of light. Kyngiht shook, legends of old told of beings that enslaved Transformers until they fell apart from old age. Legends of torture, of great abuse...Kynight swallowed...childhood fears began to resurface as much as she tried to pull them back.
'I must control my fear.' KYngiht thought as one of the five faced creatures approached.
"Yes...she is an endangered being...and her design is strange...different than other transformers, and I find her pleasing." The being said as his face turned.
"Take her to the holding cell." Said the other being as his face changed also. A guard with only one face and legs snapped a tentacle at Kynight as the other creatures left.
"Move, slave." The guard said as he snapped his tentacle at Kynight again. Kynight was surprised...slave? Strange design? Pain sensors suddenly went off as the guards tentacle hit home. Warrior instinct went off as the tentacle came at Kynight again. Grabbing the tentacle, Kynight went for the guards throat, when a group of Sharkticons appeared beside her. Within seconds, Kynight was surrounded and slowly released the guard.
"Take her to her holding cell" the guard said as the Sharkticons swarmed over Kynight. Kranix silently watched as the Sharkticons drug a creature behind them, obviously unconscious.
'Another victim for the Quintessons.' Kranix thought to himself as the Sharkticons left the area.
"Umm..." Kynight moaned, everything hurt and she couldn't see right.
"Wrestling with the Sharkticons is not a good past-time." Kranix said as he moved closer to his energy bars. The being was definitely Transformer in origin and female in sounding.
Kyngiht blinked and turned towards the voice, "Who's there?"
"My name is Kranix, from the planet Lithone...sss...those monsters! They blind you!" Kranix gasped in shock as Kynight turned into the light.
"Not completely, but enough to make me somewhat helpless. Where are we?...My name is Kynight from the planet, Paix." Kynght said as Kranix's outline came into focus.
"Quintessons? Those creatures, what did you call them? Sharkticons?"
"Yes, Sharkticons. The Quintessons' executioners, guards...they're very powerful but stupid." Suddenly the Sharkticons come back with two more prisoners in tow. Kynight remained silent as Kranix moved back into the shadows. The Sharkticons push Hot Rod and Kup into the cell and closed the door, releasing their enery bonds.
"What is this place?" Hot Rod asked as he looks around.
"The world of savage Sharkicons and their cruel masters, the Quintessons. I am, Kranix and my planet was destroyed by Unicron." Kranix said as he glanced over, looking for Kynight, who had returned to the shadows.
'Unicron?!! I'll...aarrgghh!!' Kynight thought to herself as she whipped her helmet off and threw all her emotion into the EYE OF UNICRON.
"Unicron? Who is Unicron?" Hot Rod asked.
"A planet that devours everything in its path." Kranix answered as he noticed a light coming from Kynight's cell.
* * *
Unicron jumped as a rush of emotion filled him. "Who dares?" Unicron asked as he continued on his way.
"Your grand daughter! Contact your core in the crossroads! Ask about Kynight! And do hurry, your darling Quintessons have me prisoner!" Kynight screamed to Unicron's physical form in this plane.
(Author note: Primus and Unicron sometimes call Paix's dimensional fold "The cross roads" because their true form lies there leaving sentient puppets out in other dimensions, to take the risk).
* * *
"So that's the monster's name." Kup said as he looked at Hot Rod. Suddenly the Sharkticons entered and grabbed Kranix.
"No! Please, I'm the last survivor or Lithone! No! No!" Kranix screamed as the Sharkticons drug him out of his cell. Kynight thought about saving Kranix for a moment, then turned her head. No, Kranix was fated to die here. Kynight heard the others in their cells protesting and looked a little closer. Rodimus Prime...these two were going to live.
"Not the end I"d wish for the lad." Kup said as Kranix's life came to an end.
* * *
Raggletag jumped about a foot off his seat as Unicron appeared before him. "Kynight's done it again...she's in another dimension and a prisoner of my servants. You better go get her, and quickly." Unicron said with malice as he disappeared.
Raggletag took an Earth minute, then screamed, "Aaaaaaarrrrggggghhhhh!!!! She's in deep exhaust when I get my hands on her!"
* * *
Unicrons core on Paix sent a message through the dimensional grid to his puppet. "Kynight is one of my children. She is of my fuel, protect her."
Unicron's core continued, "I have told her mate, and he is on his way." Uicron's core became silent as his puppet regained all his function.
"My daughter, I have need of your services." Unicron called as he sent an access code to Kynight, gaining control of her.
* * *
Kynight jerked as she felt Unicron's presence and summons. Suddenly, more Sharkticons burst into the cell and grabged Hot Rod and Kup taking them away. Kynight watched as the door closed and went to the edge of her cell. Unicron's summons were ringing in her audio sensors.
* * *
"Raggletag, we're ready to leave, I've gt her dimensional position." Eolian said as she, Quartz, Rust-Up, and Density assembled before Raggletag.
"Good, let's get going. Kynight's in deep this time." Raggletag said with frustration. Quartz nodded as he and Rust-Up moved towards the Wildstar. Everyone followed as Raggletag shook his head, big trouble was brewing.
* * *
Kynight walked out of her cell and passed two Sharkticon guards as they ran towards the Quintessons' court room. From the noise level, a battle must be going on. Kynight paused as she began to turn.
"Come to me, my daughter." Unicron's voice boomed into Kynight's head. Grabbing her head, Kynight staggered as she was forced to turn back on her path. Continuing, Kynight growled softly, this puppet was going to pay for causing her pain, it was just a matter of time.
* * *
"You get ship if I get trip." Wheelie said as he stood before Hot Rod and Kup.
"Who's that?" Hot Rod asked.
"Him Wheelie, him friend." Grimlock responded.
* * *
Raggletag grimaced as WildStar came out of warp, a feeling of dread swept over him.
"Eolian, Density...total sweep for Kynight's dimensional signal. We need to find her now." Raggletag ordered as he gazed out into space.
* * *
(Place: The Planet Unicron)
"Kynight, my daughter, I will grant you great power to destoy Autobot Matrix of leadership. This is my command." Unicron said as a blue light came from him.
"Aaarrrgggghhh!!!" Kynight screamed as pain shot through her body, Unicron was changing her as well as healing her. Though it wasn't all for he better.
* * *
Raggletag felt Kynights pain. "Raggletag!" Rust-Up yelled as he witnessed Raggletag's response.
"Quickly, to Unicron." Raggletag ordered as he fell to his knees, in excruciating pain.
* * *
"No..." Kynight whispered as the pain died to a low ache. "Be whole my daughter. Now you must destroy the Matrix." Unicron's puppet said. Kyngiht looked up at her reflection in Unicron's metal body. Lightning strikes flashed in her wings and under her right optic.
Kynight flinched as she thought, 'Why can't I control my body?' Gasping, Kynight thinsk to herself, 'Even being a daughter of both Unicon and Primus, I am still mrotal.' Kynight smiled, after everythins she was, she was mortal, normal in some way. It was wonderful and frightening at the same time.
"Go destroy the Matrix." Unicron's puppet demanded. Kynight frowned hoping heyond hope that the Dagger of Knowledge could help her escape Unicron.
"NO!" Kynight responeded as she straigtened her aching body.
"Then you will suffer." Unicron's puppet said as a red glow began. Kynight went to her chest and brought forth the Dagger of knowledge. Unicron's pupped pulled away a little saying, "How can this be?"
"I'm not sure why you didnt detect it before or why I didn't think of it before, but just as I am your daughter, I am Primus' daughter also." Kynight said as she felt a reassuring presence.
"I am leaving and thank you. I now know that I am mortal." Kyngiht said as she transformed and headed towards Raggletag's presence. Glancing back, Kynight noticed another ship and Unicron nearly on top of Cybertron.
'Strange,' Kynight thought, 'How we take things for granted until its' too late.'
* * *
"Stop...Kynights coming to us." Raggletag said as he allowed Rust-Up to help him to the door.
"Raggs...is she okay?" Eolian asked as she came to Raggletag's other side.
"Yes...she does have some pain yet, but for some reason she's happy." Raggletag said as he left the bridge.
* * *
"I'm mortal despite both Unicron's and Primus's influence in my fuel." Kynight whispered into the darkness of space. Terror and joy flowed side by side as Kynight neared the WildStar.
"Then what am I?" For what purpose do I exist??" Kynight asked herself as she docked with WildStar.
* * *
(Prep Room)
"Rust-Up, Eolian...leave..." Raggletag ordered as he felt a touch of Kynight's confusion.
"Raggs..." Eolian questioned. "It's okay...please, just go." Raggletag asked as he heard Kynight's approach.
"Okay, Raggletag, you know best." Rust-Up said as he pulled Eolian's arm and left. Kynight walked into the prep room, with her lightning strike glowing slightly.
"Kynight...what happened? Are you okay?" Raggletag asked as Kynight gave him a strange look.
"I know why I exist...and why I am here." Kynight said with pump wrenching emotion as she threw herself into Raggletag's arms.
" I was so scraed that I'd lose you." Raggletag said as he backed up with a huge smile, "Now what's all this business about existence? And this strange paint job?"
"Ha Ha Ha!!" Kynight laughed with pure joy, "I love you." "Yeah, and I love you too, but what are you talking about?" Raggletag asked as a confused look crossed his face plate.
"The reason I exist is because of you. I live to love you and to be loved by you." Kynight whispered as she looked up at Raggletag, seeing his understanding, love, and joy.
"Kynight...I Love you so much...I Think it's time we go through the bonding ceremony...even though we can sense each other sometimes, it's time to go all the way." Raggletag said with great joy.
"Yes, I want that too...Raggs, Unicron infused me with enough power that I can bond us here and now...hopefully the bonding will drain away this power...I hate to have one of them have the upper hand." Kynight said with hope. (Them, being Unicron and Primus). Raggletag nodded as he and Kynight knelt on the floor. Placing their hands together, palms facing, Kynight and Raggletag closed their optics. Raggletag felt power envelope him as Kynight began to merge their fuel. Thoughts and feelings began to merge...joy, happiness, worry, fear, love, hate. Everything that made them what they were. Opening his optics Raggletag instantly noticed that the lightning strikes on Kynight's wing were gone and the one under her right optic were fading.
"It worked!" Kynight said with a smile as she opened her optics. Raggletag returned her smile as he gathered her into his arms. Slowly Raggletag bent down and kissed Kynight. Suddenly Raggletag jerked back as he saw a flash out of the corner of his optic.
"What?" Raggletag exclaimed as he saw the lightning strike under Kynight's optic flash again. Picking up on Raggletags thoughts, 'It must only happen when my emotions are high.'
"Hahaha...figures, that you'd have lightning strikes more then once." Raggletag chuckled as Kynight changed back to her Autobot identity. "Let's go home, Raggs..." Kynight said as she suddenly jumped, "oh no! I forgot about Glacterra!!"
"Uh, what am I going to do with you?" Raggletag sighed as he looked up at the ceiling. Kynight began to chuckle as Raggletag joined in.
