The Reason Why

Mazikeen gasped and stood up before stumbling a little bit and crashing into a leg. She looked up and saw Barricade standing up and looking around in wonder. Mazikeen looked around and gasped, 

"Cybertron,"

Barricade looked down at her, 

"How do you know?"

Mazikeen looked at him in confusion, 

"I have dreams of Primus. We always meet on Cybertron or in the Palace of the Primes...why are you here?"

Barricade shrugged, 

"I don't know, the last thing I remember is crashing after a torpedo was heading our way"

Mazikeen frowned, 

"I remember getting being stabbed...then we drove away and then something hit us,"

"Yes. You were both in pain as I summoned you,"

They gasped and turned to see Primus. 

"Woah. Primus?"

Primus chuckled and smiled at her, 

"Hello, Mazikeen Witwicky,"

Barricade immediately knelt down with his servo on his spark, 

"Primus,"

Primus smiled and put a servo on his shoulder, 

"Rise, Barricade,"

Barricade stood up and brought Mazikeen up to his shoulder, 

"Why did you summon us?"

Primus smiled at the two, 

"Do you not have any questions?"

Barricade glanced at Mazikeen, 

"Well...not any that I can think of,"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"I'm just chilling with no pain right now,"

Primus chuckled and smiled at the two, 

"Barricade. You have never thought to ask yourself why you held back from hurting Maze? And Maze, have you never thought about the reason why you always let Barricade go?"

The two frowned in confusion as they thought about it. Mazikeen shook her head, 

"Not until right now,"

Primus smiled and sat down, 

"Sit with me, my children,"

Barricade sat down in front of him, and Primus smiled at the two, 

"You two have something very special. In another world, you would have been sparkmates-"

Barricade and Mazikeen looked at each other and made a disgusted face, 

"EW!"

Primus laughed and nodded, 

"However, in this world, you two are Amica Endurae. Mazikeen, that is the Cybertronian term of a Best Friend. An Amica Endura bond is powerful between two Cybertronians, it is second to split-spark bonds that twins have, or in your case, triplets have. It is also closely similar to the spark mate bond. It is why you both felt a strong bond with each other without having bonded just yet. Mazikeen, can you see your bonds again?"

Mazikeen closed her eyes. She looked deep within herself and saw the gold and silver cords. However, a new one formed. A light green cord. Mazikeen gasped, 

"Cade is the green one?"

Primus smiled and nodded, 

"Yes, he is."

Barricade chuckled and glanced at her, 

"So, you up for being stuck with me?"

Mazikeen laughed and nudged his head, 

"You get to be stuck with me too,"

Primus smiled at the two and Barricade glanced at him, 

"What does this mean for us as a whole?"

Primus smiled at him, 

"You two will be able to sense each other's emotions. Barricade you will have to teach her how to communicate, she will be strong enough to do so after you are both healed. Also, there is no suppressing the bonds for this, Maze,"

Mazikeen blushed, 

"Me? Suppress?"

Primus laughed, 

"You do every time you get hurt,"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"They shouldn't have to feel pain because I do,"

Barricade rolled his optics, 

"Too bad, Squishy,"

Primus chuckled, 

"You will be returning back...there will be a change in the both of you, to what extent is not clear yet,"

Barricade frowned, 

"You don't know the change?"

Primus shook his head, 

"Not everything should be known ahead of time. It is unprecedented that a human is able to bond with a Cybertronian. The next day will be hard on both of you. The start of a bond such as this one, it is hard being away from the other...and the situation that you are both in, will demand that you stay separated for a while,"

Mazikeen and Barricade shared a small look but shrugged, 

"Don't be a worry wort, Primus. Cade and I will be fine,"

Barricade nodded, 

"Squishy and I can always communicate. We have done so in the past,"

Barricade shrugged, 

"We will handle it as we go,"

"Yep! No biggy. Goodbye, Primus,"

"Goodbye, Primus,"

"Goodbye, my children,"
