Kynight sighed it was late and everyone had gone home long ago. Raggletag would have the kids in bed by now and he would be asleep on the couch waiting for her.
Getting up from her desk, Kynight glanced at a mirror off to the side. Ever since Glacterra death, Kynight found herself more and more in her Decepticon form as well as more and more away from home.
Rubbing her optics, Kynight moved towards the door, when she bummed right into Primus who had appeared before her.
�Look it's late and I�m.....� Kynight never got to finished her sentence as she suddenly found herself somewhere else.
* * *
Screamer smiled as Adaptor, he had his uses. Like information.
�Your sure the bow is in the grave?� Screamer asked, as she checked her weapons again.
�According to the files I stole, yes. The bow is somehow special. The file only stated it could do strange things.� Adaptor said as he watch Screamer do her final check before she descended into Cybertron�s bows to retrieve the ancient weapon.
�Good.� Screamer said as she glazed into the crave. Then without another word, she transformed and descended into Cybertron�s innards.
�Good hunting.� Adaptor called out watching Screamer lovely until she disappeared from view.
* * *
Kynight shook her head as she tried to get her bearing everything looked the same to her. Curse Primus and his meddling, this wasn�t fair! Why did she have to do all the dirty work! Course, maybe this was a vacation? Not....... without notice the Dagger of Knowledge reacted.
�Sigh, great another gift of Primus to find and return to Paix.� Kynight thought to herself as she alter her course towards the gift.
* * *
Screamer wasn�t all happy. This map Adaptor gave her missed most of the traps to the grave site. Though so far the traps she encountered weren�t major ones, which didn�t make her happy either. But she should make it to the grave site in an astro-hour (about 4 and 3/4 Earth hours) if she traveled stead.
* * *
(Time passes)
Kynight sighed she had been traveling nearly two astro-hours and she still had a bit to go.
�I wonder how Primus plans to bring me home.� Kynight muttered to herself as she shook her head. Stopping, Kynight looked around damn audio sensors were playing tricks on her.
* * *
Screamer yelled in triumph, she made it! Now to rip the grave open and get the Bow.Kynight paused at the doorway to a large chamber. Inside was a female Decepticon standing over a grave.
Kynight gasped as she ran forward, �Wait, don�t!�
Screamer ripped the cover off the coffin and reached in when she heard the voice screaming for her to stop.
�NO! It�s mine!� Screamer yelled back as she reached in and torn the bow from the corpse�s grasp.
Kynight just appeared across from Screamer when suddenly the floor gave way. The wind increased, making it impossible to fly as the two females tried to gain control. But the trap seemed to know what it caught and was prepared to give them flying lessons.
�Being thrown against the wall wasn�t the healthy thing to do,� Kynight thought to herself. Glancing around, Screamer saw that her unwanted companion was having similar problems as she was. Suddenly about two feet from the bottom a blast of air shot up breaking they fall.
Blinking, Kynight pulled herself up into a sitting position, looking over at Screamer Kynight noticed that she too was pulling herself up.
�I told you not to that.� Kynight sighed as Screamer looked up into her optics. Screamer paused, Kynight felt odd to her, different like the Bow.
�It�s mine! Try anything and your scrap!� Screamer sneered as Kynight shook her head.
�Before we fight over that gift, we should find away out of here.� Kynight said as she got to her feet, �and by the way then name is Kynight.�
Screamer frowned as she too began to get to her feet, �You can call me Screamer.�
�Well, then Screamer nice to meet....� Kynight began as she started forward toward her when suddenly a roar erupted overhead.
�You set off another trap!� Screamer yelled as the ceiling began to fall.
�Hurry the doors are closing!� Kynight screamed as she sprung forward grabbing Screamer�s arm and pulled her towards the door. Screamer didn�t need to be told twice as she and Kynight flew under the closing door.
�Boom!� The door sealed as both females stared at each other on the other side.
�Well, your right we better get out of here first, then we can fight over the Bow. Truce?� Screamer asked as she got that feeling again. �Yeah, a truce is a good idea.� Kynight sighed, �So which way do we go?�
�Uh? Do you know how many floors we fell?� Screamer asked Kynight as both bend over the maps.
�Mmmm......... we fell fast.... the floors were different sizes.... � Kynight muttered as she closed her optics and thought back, using the Eye of Unicron, she increased her mental powers and began to recall the fall. Screamer stared at Kynight, she had powerful vibes surrounding her.
�We feel nine floor.� Kynight sighed as she powered up her optics, seeing Screamer stared at her strangely. Screamer was getting hunger and Kynight was looking good right now.
�Screamer? Are you okay?� Kynight asked as she titled her head looking at Screamer questionly, being thrust together with her was proving interesting.
�Fine... nine floor you say? Well then let�s see, that means we�re here and that room should be this one.� Screamer said as she pointed at the map, grinning to herself.
�Yeah, that looks right, so we go that way?� Kynight asked as she turned slightly to her left. Screamer glazed at Kynight�s neck as she turned around just a little bit and she�d be find.
�Screamer!� Kynight thundered using her best mother�s voice. Screamer jumped as she looked at Kynight.
�What way?� Kynight demanded as she got to her feet, Screamer was beginning to look at her strangely and it was begin to put her on edge. Sensing this, Screamer changed the subject.
�I was just wondering what kinds of traps lay ahead and if you can handled yourself.� Screamer said as she returned the maps and got to her feet.
�I can handle myself, you just keep the gift save until later.� Kynight snorted.
�Gift? Why do you call the Bow a gift?� Screamer asked as she began to move out.
�Because it is.. you see that so called Bow is a gift of Primus. A weapon forged by him.� Kynight answered as she followed Screamer. Suddenly, Screamer stopped as she turned a little.
�Primus? As in lord, god, Primus? Uh, are you a priestess?� Screamer asked as a tad of fear lodged in her throat.
�Me? heck, no, I just do all the dirty work for that so called god, Primus. The Bow is special though, and should be returned to him.� Kynight announced as she pointed at the Bow, maybe she�d listen to reason and do the right thing.
�How is it special?� Screamer demanded as she smiled inward, Kynight worked for Primus but not as a priestess, so he wouldn�t care if he lost her, after all she just did the dirty work.
�Oh.. well, okay, but you should really give the Bow to someone who can return it to him, like me.� Kynight said with smile as Screamer looked up at the ceiling.
�How is it special?� Screamer asked again as she turned and began to walk again.
�The Bow of transformation is special by the fact that it�s arrow can change any being into an cyber-animal.� Kynight sighed as she walked behind Screamer.
�Change? How does .......� Screamer never got to finish asking her question, when suddenly darts flew out of the wall at them. Breaking into a run both female ran down the hallway top speed. Finally, at the end of the hallway at the door from both stopped panting a bit. Recovering Screamer turned to Kynight.
�I don�t know.. it just does and it only had three arrows a day. After these gone it must rest a day�s cycle before it can restock it�s self. Now... your leaking.� Kynight stated as she caught sight of Screamer�s side.
�A dart glazed me, that�s all, let�s keep going.� Screamer�s said as she turned, as soon as I can I�ll nail her.
�Here let me look at it, I don�t need you to past out or anything.� Kynight muttered as she neared Screamer.Without warning, Screamer turned suddenly with a blade in her hand and raised it cutting Kynight�s breast plate from the lower left to high right near her neck.Kynight stumbled back in surprise as her hand flew to the wound near her neck. Screamer quickly pounced on Kynight knocking her down to the floor.
�Don�t worry, it won�t last long.� Screamer smiled as she ripped the wound openly a bit more and began to feed on Kynight�s fuel. Kynight quickly began to push Screamer away as Screamer�s own fuel from the dart�s wound began to leak down into Kynight�s wound. Screamer frowned, Kynight�s fuel was strange,.....not......
�Aaaaarrrrggggghhhh!� Screamer screamed as images began to flash through her CPU. Kynight felt Screamer pain as he body processed the fact that some of their fuel was mixing.
�Screamer...... � Kynight whispered as Screamer fell to the floor flinching in pain. Kynight grimace as she looked down at her wound whispering, �What did you do?�Gasping in shock Kynight looked over at Screamer, right into her optics.
�Your in shock.� Screamer whispered as she felt Kynight�s pump hit max.
�I can feel you.� Kynight muttered as she continue to stare at Screamer.
�So of our fuel mixed.... your different, not like others.� Screamer responded as she folded her legs under her, kneeling and looked at Kynight questioning.
�I have..... some interesting fuel ancestors, but how... I don�t understand, you drank my fuel?� Kynight asked as she folded her legs in front of her.
�Because your fuel is different, and it mixed , we have a bond. I need to drink fuel to survive.� Screamer answered.
�You a vampire or something like it. I can feel you, hear your voice inside of my head. Your a cyber-witch.� Kynight stated.
�And your a daughter of two gods from a planet that lies in a dimensional fold.� Screamer counted. Kynight and Screamer simply stared at each other for a while.
�Your fuel is strong and gives me strength like no other fuel that I�ve tasted.� Screamer said with a smile as Kynight frowned.
�This bond is forever isn�t it? ...... Oh, gross Screamer you eat other Transformers?!� Kynight said as she got a vision from Screamer.
�Yes... you are one of a kind, Kynight and we�re going to be together for some time.� Screamer said smiling happily at Kynight. She really felt at peace with Kynight, very happy as if she found something she was missing.
�Oh..... � Kynight sighed knowing Screamer was right. Suddenly, Kynight felt as if Glacterra was with her again. Maybe Screamer was Glacterra in this dimension.
�You better change forms and give your Decepticon form time to repair.� Screamer said as she got up to her feet.
�Ah.. you know about that too?� Kynight moaned as Screamer stood over her.
�Yes, now change and let�s face this maze and it�s traps together.� Screamer said as Kynight nodded crossing her arms in front of her wounds and began to change. Screamer reached her hand out to Kynight, now in her Autobot form. Looking up Kynight smiled for the first time since this happened and gripped Screamer�s hand.
�Let�s do this.� Kynight announced as she got to her feet. The two females glanced at the map and talked of their routine.
�So it�s settled. We go over two rooms and up three floors. Then we have a strait way, which should take us five floors up. Then we have a long walk till we get to the exit.� Screamer said with a frown.
�The lower levels are the ones with the traps, right? So the first level shouldn�t be that bad.� Kynight said with a tilted of her head.
�I hope .... it�s till a long track and we�ve not at full charge.� Screamer said with a sigh. Kynight nodded, feeling a bit of dread. Screamer turned to Kynight and the two females shared a look.
�Let�s just do it.� Kynight said as she moved forward, Screamer right behind her. Entering the first room both females tensed. Slowly walking through they came to the second room�s doorway.
�There something in this one.� Kynight muttered as Screamer looked around the room and over to the transport tube.
�What is it? I can�t sense anything.� Screamer asked as she looked around the room again. Sighing, Kynight shook her head. Focusing, using all her resources Kynight began to look beyond the room�s exterior.
�Cool.� Screamer sighed as she got glimpse of Kynight vision, from the Eye of Unicron.
�The room has a false floor. Some blocks are real floor the others are false and we�ll fall though.� Kynight responded as she began to lead the way across the floor. Screamer followed closely as Kynight lead them safely to the transport tube.
�The Eye of Unicron is powerful.... you have other gifts don�t you. Primus Siren, a something like the Matrix, but different.� Screamer said as they reached the transport tube.
�Yes, how came you can read all this from me and I only get bits and pieces from you?� Kynight asked as they entered the tube.
�Must be because I�m a cyber-witch.� Screamer responded as the two females moved up the transit tube.
�Could be, I try no to use my gifts. Don�t want one god to think he�s all that.. Give him a big head.� Kynight snorted as she exited the tube.
�One room and then a stairway, o?� Screamer asked as she looked out across the room.
�Yeah..... Screamer, you feel it?� Kynight questioned as she looked around.
�Yes.... something odd..... I don�t know.....� Screamer began as suddenly Kynight step forward and the walls, ceiling, and floor began to move. Both females ran towards the exit as the floor suddenly titled sideways. Kynight slide her slicers out and placed them into the floor saving herself from flying down as Screamer hit her jets and head towards the door.
Part 2
FUEL SISTERS
�Damn....� Kynight whispered as she began to change forms into her Deception mode.
�Hurry! There isn�t much time!� Screamer yelled as Kynight began to fly towards her. Grabbing Kynight�s hand Screamer pulled her to safety and hugged her.
�That was to close.� Kynight breathed as she noticed fuel still leaking from her earlier wounds.
�Change.� Screamer breathed as she grimaced at the strange feeling she was experiencing.
�No....... I�ll be fine... if something happens I want the able to fly.� Kynight said back as moved forward, �Let�s go. Five floor up and the we�re all most there.�
�Yeah.� Screamer responded as she began to follow Kynight. What was happening to her, why was she feeling so...... Something was wrong with her..... something different.
�Finally.� Kynight whispered as they reached the top if the stairs, she was getting low on energy and she was hungry for something different.
Both females began to walk down the hallway, cautiously. Suddenly a huge boom echoed down the hallway. Turning to each other both females stared a look. Completely turning around they came face to face with an old guardian robot.
Before either them could react the guardian shot Kynight square in the breast plate, sending her flying backward against the wall. As Screamer begin to react the Guardian blast her in the shoulder sending her backwards, just before she hits the wall.
�Transform.� Screamer yells as he side arms spin around and transform into robotic cats. (Note: Similar to Ravage.)
In mid-air the cats send dual missiles at the Guardian�s head, exploring it into millions of pieces. The Guardian spurted, wiggling around on the floor for a few second as Kynight still in shock, turn to see the two cats rub up against Screamer. Screamer scratches their heads turning to Kynight.
�These are my little ones, Misery and Shadow. I made them to keep me company after the lost of Megatron. They become my sidearms and better company then Shockwave.� Screamer explains as Kynight gets to her feet.
�But Megatron is alive and on Earth. Didn�t Shockwave tell you?� Kynight asked Screamer in surprise.
�Uh.� Screamer�s face plate drops as her optics widen to huge portion.
�Megatron is alive?� Screamer began to shake as she realize Shockwave has keep this from her.
�Yes, and on Earth, still fighting too.� Kynight states as she walks over to Screamer.
�But enough, we still need to get out of before you can go anywhere.� Kynight smiled as she said this.
�He�s like a father to me.� Screamer whispered as she begin to follow Kynight with Misery and Shadow behind her.
�Father?� Kynight says surprised that Megatron would act like that unless there was more to it then that.
�Yes, after my parent�s death......� Screamer voice trails off as she begin to shake uncontrollable Kynight grimace as a sharp pain shoot through her circuits. Screamer is crying softly as a flash of light forms around her. Misery and Shadow jump back in surprise as Kynight feels her transformation chip become active.
The light died down to a now transformed Screamer. Kynight jaw plate drops in shock as a black and white, female Autobot that transforms into a car with door instead of wings now stands infront of her. (Author note: similar to Prowl or Jazz). Screamer stood stared at her hands looks up at Kynight.
�I think is bond is stronger then we realize.� Kynight muttered as she starts to think about what just happened.
�But I�m good now.� Screamer cries in dismay, not happy at all.
�It must have happened when you got upset about your parents. I felt something go off in my circuits, then you changed.� Kynight sighs, as Screamer stares at her cats.
�I wonder....... transform!� Screamer yells as the cats begin to transform changing as they do so. Gasping, Kynight watches as one cat becomes Screamer�s rifle, while the other her missile launches.
�Whoa......... that is so cool!� Screamer stated as Kynight rubs her head.
�Yeah, but I think you need to be in your Deception form or we�ll be in big trouble. I bet Shockwave out there somewhere.� Kynight said as her tank growled at her.
�Yes and I�m hungry too. How do I change back?� Screamer asked as she turned back to Kynight.
�Well, think of nasty things and I�ll trying working my circuits from here.� Kynight said as she began to turn her thought inward to the transformation chip.
Screamer thought about eating, as she was hungry, how�d she�d rip apart her prey and eat them. Kynight body shook as she felt Screamer�s thoughts and little shot as pain went through her, not near so painfully as before.
Screamer sighed as she looked as herself as best as she could, �Back to normal...�
�Yes..... let�s go.... it�s only a short way now... and we�re free.. then we can talk about the bow.� Kynight said with a stern look on her face. Screamer frowned as she began to follow Kynight on they way out.
�Kynight, can�t I keep the Bow? I won�t do anything bad with it.......... � Screamer whines as suddenly a blast knocks Kynight backwards.
�You are a disgrace to the Decepticons! You will pay this time!� Shockwave says in his logically voice. Screamer pulls the Bow, from a compartment in her leg as Shockwave fires on her. Screamer gets hit in the shoulder and as she falls she fires the Bow. The shot misses Shockwave and hits one of his Seekers, changing him into a robotic pig.
Screamer bursts out laughing as Kynight grabs her from behind yelling, �Come on already!!�
Screamer transforms and takes off with Kynight right behind her.
�After them! Don�t let them escape!� Shockwave orders as he looks over at the cyber-animal. It would have to be destroy. The Seekers take off after the two females, soon catching up with them, due to their wounds.
Screamer flies near one and hits him in his wing causing him to fly at Kynight, nearly hitting her.
�Hey! Watch out will you! I�m on your side!� Kynight yells out as the two weave back and forth. Screamer snickers to herself as she says, �Sorry about that.. guess I�m getting carried away here. Follow me! I have the perfect place to hid!�
Screamer heads for the cavern again as Kynight cries out, �Not again! We just left there!�
�There is a trap here aim for the release and then we�ll break for it.� Screamer calls out as she radios Kynight instruction. Both females fire upon a trigger that releases a landslide that cover the pursuing Seekers. Screamer screams in triumph as the two escape.
Landing Screamer�s throws her arms around Kynight, �Wasn�t that great! Just think of all the stuff we can do to Shockwave and you�ll help me find Megatron won�t you?�
�Oh, what have I gotta myself into here.... � Kynight moans as she walks behind a still talking Screamer.
