Chapter 1: Sacrifice

The long vorns of endless fighting took a toll on the once beautiful planet of Cybertron. Where building of great architecture once glowed with energy lay smoking ruins and ash. The twin factions of Autobots and Decepticons fought mercilessly over the one source of power, the cubed Allspark.

Amongst the various ranks of war were many shapes and specialties. Amongst these were the revered draconic seekers. They were few in number as series of betrayal and strategic strikes slowly destroyed them. They were feared most because of their size, juggernaut like abilities, and power.

Amongst the ranks were a pair of distinctive twins. Their names: RazorWind and BlazeBite. They were like night and day. RazorWind, the elder and seemingly indestructible black and silver plated Seeker and BlazeBite, the younger, sleeker, red and yellow brother.

They led the remnants of the Dragoon Unit, draconic seekers whom specialized in heavy strike assault tactics, when their mentor and leader, WildWing, was murdered by Megatron himself. They were barely out of Sparkling stage.

And they survived.

The Dragoons became legends amongst the Cybertronian ranks. They were the reason the Autobots were able to evacuate, scatter to the stars, and survive for so long. But it was all at a heavy cost. As with each confrontation their numbers dwindled until there were only two left.

There was no mercy for their kind.

"You must allow us this duty Optimus." RazorWind's firm tenor cut through the air like a knife. The leader of the Autobots met his gaze with equal resolve. "The Cube cannot fall into Megatron's hands."

"You are needed here." The Autobot Leader wasn't backing down. He knew that these two were invaluable. To lose them would deal a heavy blow to their side. He just wished they weren't so set on their course. "We have scouts, Bumblebee for example."

"Yes, but they aren't equipped with the spark readers and energon pathfinders we have. It would be faster and more advantageous for us to locate the Allspark, send you a signal and guard it until your men can retrieve it." The implacable black mech countered. It was only logical that they take this course of action. After all, he highly doubted the other bots could hold off the Decepticon numbers or Megatron himself for the time they would need.

Optimus remained silent, his most trusted commanders watching the confrontations silently. They couldn't refute the logic either. Despite their size and obvious weight, the Dragoon dragon mechs were the most heavily equipped and some of the fastest seekers to ever grace Cybertron.

And none of the mechs had seen them fight to their fullest capabilities.

The Prime's attention drifted to the squirming form of RazorWind's eternally hyper twin. The slender mech had bright yellow and red splashes covering his armor. The younger Dragoon was fidgeting something awful, almost like a new sparkling taken for its first checkup.

It amused the stoic leader immensely.

But that was neither here nor there. The large mech returned his gaze to the present thorn in his side. The Dragoon captain made sense, unfortunately, but they also couldn't afford the risk from the loss of power the Seeker and his twin provided. Their presence alone, more than Optimus really, deterred a great many Decepticons.

So here they were at an impasse. To stay or go.

For the sake of the planet and their race.

The last Prime internally sighed. His race was scattered to the stars, his planet was all but dead. Megatron and his Decepticons had taken off in pursuit of the cube. An now two of their biggest assets, not to downplay the other's effectiveness and contributions but the Dragoons were legends for a reason, were set on searching for the Allspark.

He knew that they would also be able to hold Megatron down until he was able to get there.

"Very well."

The Seeker gave a curt nod and turned on his heel, his younger brother right behind him. It wasn't until they had reached the landing pad that he allowed a grim, but satisfied smirk to cross his faceplates. The look at his energetic twin, who had no qualms about displaying a large, victorious grin, told him that he was of much the same processors.

Getting Optimus to agree to anything was a monumental task, especially if it concerned those he relied on the most for battle and advice. Getting him to agree to depart with some his last and best units should have been nigh impossible.

But in the end he did.

Because it all came down to one simple fact: Who else was strong enough to ward off Megatron?

…….

The Dragon Mech barely made it to the cave before his stabilizers gave out and he collapsed harshly upon the rocky granite. The damage he had acquired had finally took its toll. He knew that there would be no real future, not for him at least.

Megatron could really give as good as he got. Hopefully his aft would remain frozen for all eternity.

Both he and BlazeBite had the misfortune of arriving at this planet the same moment Megatron had. When they recognized each other, the former Lord High Protector and the last two Dragoon Seekers unleashed their hate and did everything in their power to destroy the other. For the twins, it was revenge for the slow annihilation of their race and even starting the war. For Megatron, it was a chance to take out two serious threats and damage Prime's forces.

Razorwind groaned his pain receptors flared over his damaged circuits. He'd have to force stasis if he wanted to survive to meet any Autobots again.

The large black Dragon Mech groaned again as he slightly rolled on his side. He had one last duty to do before he offlined. The panels under his wing shifted as the frequency com revealed itself. With his last reserves of energy, the Seeker sent off a ping before collapsing. It was nothing specific but a general direction for the Autobots to follow.

It would have to do.

The mech's optics began dimming he curled up his tail around the small gem that contained Blazbite's spark. He had barely been able to salvage, and condense, it before the younger mech's body fell and burned through the atmosphere. It was all he had left and most likely his twin's last hope at life.

If only he could somehow be infused to a frame of some sort.

Assured that his brother wasn't going anywhere, the giant mech felt his systems begin shutting down. He curled his tail in closer, bring the condensed spark to his optic's view.

As his mainframe began shutting down and the world dimmed, he kept an optic on the jewel until the world faded to black.

::To Be Continued::

A/N: I was reading a few transformer ficts and got the itch to write a small one of my own. I admit both twins (and race of mech) are mine, oc and all that. I just decided to play a little before I threw in my other ficts.

Special Mention to: DragonQueen88 (because her dragonseekers fict (Truths) amused me enough for me to read it)

It inspired this fictlet, sort of. The 'Dragon Seeker' name is pretty much all that is the same between our ficts.
