Wounded Spark

Chapter X1/2

Aileron's point of view
I was with Zephyr and Firebolt, my closest friends. We had been playing when Zephyr looked towards the sky. The little yellow Predacon gasped and pressed herself against Firebolt. I followed her gaze and saw a red star blazing across the sky. "What is that." Firebolt said. Zephyr whimpered. I shifted my wings uncomfortably, it had suddenly gotten very hot. Firebolt glared at her cowering twin. "Move over, Zephyr. I'm getting warm." Firebolt said. Zephyr watched the star with fearful optics. "Didn't you hear me? Move!" Firebolt growled pushing her twin. "I'm scared." Zephyr said pressing herself against her twin. Firebolt growled. "It's just a star. NOW MOVE!" Firebolt said sinking her fangs into the little Predacon's neck and flinging her away. Zephyr hit the ground and didn't move.
"Zephyr!" I cried rushing over. She was laying on her side still watching the star. Energon was gushing from the wound on her neck. "Zephyr can you hear me!" I said. She turned her yellow helm towards me. "Run . . .quickly . . . the end is . . ." Zephyr croaked before the light in her optics died. I nudged her helm. "Zephyr..." I whispered. Suddenly I was slammed to the ground. "You offlined her! You made Zephyr offline!" Firebolt howled lashing out at me. "Me? You did this!" I snarled throwing her off. The green Predacon tumbled before getting back up. Firebolt roared spread out her wings. I spread mine out as something wizzed over my helm. I saw fear in my friend's optics as an asteroid crushed her. I stood there in shock. In one day my two friends had offline.
I snapped back to reality when I heard the screams. I whipped my helm around to see a horrific sight. Everywhere Predacons were attacking Predacons while fire and asteroids rained down. I flapped my wings and took off. I watched from the sky as many died. I black Predacon saw me and flew up in front of me. With a snarl he caught my wing and sent me spiraling down. Before I could rise he pinned me with a claw. "Your Carrier should have been my mate!" The black hissed. "Let me go!" I hissed wiggling. He drew back his helm and opened his jaws. I could see the flame building up inside. Right before I was cooked a midnight blue femme crashed into him.
"Leave my creation alone!" My Carrier snarled. "Carrier!" I cried happily. She turned on me. "You...your Creator is offline because of you!" She hissed raking a claw against my faceplate. I stumbled backwards and blinked at her in shock. She growled and took a step towards me. I spread my wings and tried to fly but the wing the black had caught pulsed with pain. I crashed back to Cybertron and turned my helm fearfully. The black had gotten back up and was fighting my Carrier. Not knowing what else to do I ran. Tears are streaming from my faceplate. "My creation has left me!" I heard my Carrier wail. An asteroid slammed down in front of me and I crashed into it. I shook my helm and blinked. All around me Predacons I once knew were killing their families. The only place I could think of as 'safe' was our cave. I sprinted across the 'battle field' avoiding bites, burns, and bodies.
A femme fell in front of me obviously about to offline. I gasped. It was Saber, Firebolt and Zephyr's Carrier. She looked at me with hopeful optics before she groaned and went still.
The Predacon who had offlined her roared in victory before turning and attacking another Predacon. I raced around Saber's helm trying to reach my home. Out of the
corner of my optic I saw that very Predacon be hit by a falling fire and burst into flames.
Another fire hit my back and I screeched. I rolled onto my back trying to put out the flame. While on my back I saw a large asteroid falling for my family's cave. I quickly got to my pedes and grunted as pain flared from my back. I raced to the cave while the asteroid came closer. I used my wings and launch myself inside right before it hit. There was a terrible crack as the asteroid smacked into the entrance. Then there was complete darkness. I whimpered and laid down.
"Young one."
I turned my helm and saw a bot. He had a divine and gentle faceplate. He filled the cave with a soft light. "W-Who are you?" I said fearfully. "Don't be afraid of me, young one. I will not harm you." He said. "Then what do you want from me?" I asked. "I ask that you bring me something important." He said. I blinked. "What?" I said. His optics turned a little sad.
"You will know. It will be given to you here." He said gently placing a digit over my spark. "But I don't want to go back out there." I said. "You won't. Not for a long time." He said as ice began to form around me. I looked at him in panic. "You will grow inside this ice until you reach the age right before adulthood. When you are in your prime." He said. I looked at him confused. Before I could say anything the ice covered my helm. It continued until I was fully encased in a block of ice. "Rest now, Aileron Heir of Predacons." He said. Then bot disappeared, leaving only the light.
