Tidal Collapse [TFP x Reader] [TFP Story]

Chapter 11

The Predacon walks up to Starscream. The SIC thinking he's about to get killed covers himself in fear but then they all hear the sound of something transforming and there, right in front of them was the Predacon, in a bipedal mode.

The other three Decepticons look at the Predacon in surprise. Starscream unfolds himself and looks at the Predacon.

"Wha-" The Predacon then kneels down to Starscream.

"Strike me again. And I'll bury that rod in your spark." Starscream scoots away from the Predacon.

"I did not realize that the beast was capable of transformation." Megatron looks at Shockwave with a glare.

"Nor was I." The Predacon stands up and looks at Starscream.

"I am no beast." He then begins walking toward one of the test tubes to look at the cloning Predacon.

Shockwave begins explaining what he knows about transformation and Predacons from history findings.

"The ability to Transform is a fundamental part of Cybertronian biology. We simply possess no evidence that the Predacon's species ever reached that evolutionary stage, since they were extinct, in the Great Cataclysm." Starscream then walks up beside them.

"And now we know. Grr." The Predacon began speaking again as he was still looking at the cloning Predacon.

"So, the rumors are true. I will no longer be alone." Megatron begins walking up to the Predacon.

"And I see you've been keeping secrets." The Predacon turns to look at his master.

"It was not my attention to deceive you Lord Megatron. I only recently became aware of my abilities. All I remember of my beginning is hunting and battle and the wounding of my pride. Thus I began to burn with questions. Who am I? Where did I come from? The warships databanks provided historical fact. But still, I possess no memory of my own past. So I began to reconsider myself in the present and wondered, can I be like the others. And now I know."

Megatron walked up beside him and also looked at the test tube.

"Yet you are unique, miracle science. Cloned by Shockwave from Cybernucleic Acid. Recovered from the remains of your mighty ancestors."

Everyone was either doing their own thing. Smokescreen, Bumblebee, Arcee, and Bulkhead were putting in their reports of the bone hunting. Ratchet was working with the Synthetic Formula he had after a little accident that occurred with him about a year ago. Optimus was still out looking for bones as well, Wheeljack was fixing up Ultra Magnus' ship engines, and Rykerdraft was in her Predacon form, lying down, resting. She's helped with a few bone missions but now it was her "nap time" as she likes to call it.

Ultra Magnus noticed her sleeping and rolled his eyes and sighed. He then looks at Ratchet and makes his way over.

"Doctor. What is the current status of your Synthetic Energon Experiments?" Ratchet secretly rolled his eyes and looked back at his computer.

"Doing the best I can Commander, given the lack of functional equipment at my disposal."

"You do realize that an alternative energy source may be essential to our survival."

Ratchet sighs and looks at the Commander.

"Believe me Ultra Magnus. No one is more acutely aware of the stakes than I am."
