EARTHSPARK: DISCONNECTED.

Summary:

(KEEP IN MIND THAT ‘&’ MEAN PLATONIC/FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIPS AND ‘/‘ MEAN ROMANTIC FOR THE RELATIONSHIP TAGS!)

HELLO EVERYONE! Welcome to yet ANOTHER one of my transformers fics :-). I wrote the first chapter a while ago before season two came out, and the rest is/will be written after season came out. I promise every reference to season two for the first chapter is just a coincidence and it was me and my awesome predicting skills.

ANYWAYS. This is a concept that has been on my mind for quite some time (like literally ever since I finished Earthspark season one for the first time) so allow me to introduce you to!-

*drum roll*

Error Malto, the emotionless terran.

Well, they aren’t exactly a Malto just yet. But maybe one day they’ll learn to be one.

Notes:

Guys I seriously love Earthspark. Like it’s really bad.. it’s my second favorite show next to Transformers: Prime. But it’s seriously fight for first place 😭.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: SYSTEM ERROR.EP.1/S2///RELOAD.BOOT

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

A single pair of optics open.

This was strange.

They were in a cave.

But a different cave that the other Terrans were born in.

They were brought to life by this.. explosion.

Where there was once death, there is now life.

This was a Terran.

???

They had no connection to anyone. They were alone. But they didn't feel alone. They didn’t feel at all. They couldn’t feel.

They?

She?

He?

It?

It.. he.. she.. they.. the Terran didn’t care.

They aimlessly looked around the cave. There was an exit, but the Terran bore no curiosity as to what could be outside the cave they were summoned in.
So the Terran just stood there. For hours. And hours. And hours. It became easy for them to dissociate.

Despite standing in one place for so long, their legs did not feel any pain. It seems the Terran couldn’t feel anything physically either.

The Terran had no interest in this revelation

———————————

 

There were 4 children playing in front of a red barn. Then there was one child sitting next to their mother.

“Hah! Hey! Jawbreaker, catch!” A familiar red child shouted. She threw a ball at her little brother

Twitch.

“Oh! Oh! I got it!” Another child shouts, waving his arms in the air

Jawbreaker.

He catches the ball and laughs.

“Hey, pass it to me!” A purple bot said, putting her servos up.

Hashtag.

“Uh! Okay!” Jawbreaker shouts, throwing the ball to his sister

“Interception!” A gray sibling said as he intercepted the ball.

Thrash.

“Hey! That was my ball!” Hashtag said

“Nuh Uh! It’s mine now! I caught it” Thrash said

“Give it!” Hashtag demanded

“I meant to pass it to Hashtag” Jawbreaker claims, frowning at Twitch.

“That’s okay” Twitch smiles

Twitch flies over to her twin brother and snatches the ball out of his servos. Then she flies up into the air and throws the ball to her taller sister. Hashtag laughs and jokes around with Thrash about finally having the ball.

“It is so good to finally be playing as a family again” A dark green terran spoke, sitting down

Nightshade.

They were speaking to their mother. She smiled.

Dorothy.

“It really is” She agrees, looking as her Terran children scurry around for the ball

“Hey! Nightshade! Come over and play!” Thrash shouts, motioning them over

“I will pass thank you Thrash, I would like to sit with mom” Nightshade replied

“Come on Nightshade, go play with your brothers and sisters” Dottie insisted, her voice sweet

“Oh. Alright then” Nightshade said, standing off and running over to play.

It had been a little over a month since the whole attack with Mandroid thing. The Terrans now finally had time to rest and play and spend time together like a normal family. They still had their family game nights, their silly family feuds, the chore stars, the house rules, terran training, and now even Robby and Mo were training their newfound powers.

Dottie simply watched as her children played together with that little ball they loved so much. Based on what she was looking at, there was no objective to the game, they just threw the ball to each other but somehow we’re trying to keep it away from each other at the same time. It was still quite entertaining to watch. Besides, it was nice to see the kids play all on one team instead of being divided.
Because one thing’s for sure.

The Malto family can’t be divided.

 

“Honey! I brought the kids back from school!” A father called out

Alex.

“Dad!” Jawbreaker grinned

Hashtag gasped.
“Dad! Mo, Robby! You’re finally back!” She cheered

“You were gone forever!” Thrash says

“We were only gone for a little longer than usual” Their eldest brother stated

Robby.

“Yeah, I decided to help my teacher clean up the class a little. Robby helped.. kind of” Their sister added, giggling at the end

Mo.

“Well, I was thinking that we could go on a family adventure” Robby suggests

“You haven’t asked to go on one of those in a while” Dottie notes, putting her hand on her hip.

“Ooh! Roadtrip!” Hashtag beams, transforming into her alt mode. Her alt mode was different now, it was still a purple van, but it was no longer a G.H.O.S.T van.
“Hop in!”

“Hashtag, sweetie, I don’t think all of us are gonna fit in there” Dottie reasons

“Oh” She says as she transforms back.
“Then we can walk!” She decides

“That’s what I was thinking” Robby says, smirking

“Wooo! Family adventure!”
Twitch transforms into her drone alt mode and picks her older brother up and flies him around.

Robby laughed.
“Okay, let’s start our adventure” He chuckled

Twitch brought Robby down and he slid off her. She transformed and stood next to her sibling, Nightshade.

“Do you know any specific location?” Nightshade asked their brother

“I dunno, we can just.. walk around” Robby shrugged

Hashtag’s optics glowed, she was surfing the web.
“Oh! Oh! I know! Let’s go down to this old valley! There’s a super ancient cave down there! Maybe it has more of our cave water!” She recommends

“We have been needing more” Alex chimes in

“Alright kiddos, ancient cave it is” Dottie agrees, a smile on her face

Alex runs into the house to get a few kegs and comes back a minute later.
The Maltos take Hashtag’s directions to this super ancient cave. They casually conversed about things on the way there.
Once they got to the valley, Nightshade grabbed both their parents and slid down while Twitch grabbed Mo and Robby and flew down. The rest of the Terrans drove or ran down recklessly, cheering and ‘whoop’ing as they did.

“Now let’s search for that cave!” Nightshade said, placing Dottie and Alex down.

All the Terrans’ optics glowed, as well as the human children’s cyber-sleeves.
“I feel it!” Jawbreaker grinned

“It’s just over there” Mo said, pointing over to a large boulder that was rather far from them.

“Let’s get over there quick!” Thrash said, transforming into his alt mode, allowing his older sister to hop onto his seats.

“Come on, mom and dad!” Jawbreaker smiled, throwing his parents up on his alt mode’s back.

All the Terrans rushed over to the big boulder in their respective alt modes. Thrash was the first to get there. He cheered and transformed back into his bot mode, carrying Mo in his arms.

“I won! Oh yeah!” He sang as he danced strangely

“I don’t recall it being a race, brother” Nightshade stated, transforming into their bot mode.

Jawbreaker place his parents down, taking in the scenery of the valley. It was a little bland, but still beautiful nonetheless.

“Well it was” Thrash said, putting Mo down

“Let’s move this rock out of the way,” Hashtag said.
She grunts as she makes her attempts to push it.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got this!” Jawbreaker said.
He took a few steps back before running quickly towards the boulder head first.
There was a loud noise when the boulder cracked. The boulder cracked in half and fell apart.

“Good job, JB” Hashtag smiled

Jawbreaker giggled “Thanks” He said

“Ooh! Ooh! I see glowing!” Twitch points out

“Let’s check it out” Mo suggests

“Are you coming?” Robby asks his parents

“We’ll stay out here” Alex says
“Keep on look out” He adds

“Gotcha” Robby nods.

“Be careful down there okay?” Dottie warns

“Okay mom!” They all said in unison

“Let’s go!” Mo said, dragging her brother into the cave with the rest of her siblings.

Once all the Malto children were inside, they looked around the illuminated cave and noticed something strange.

“AH!” Thrash squealed
“What is that?” He asks

“Better yet..” Mo muttered

Who is that?” Nightshade questioned

“Could it be?” Jawbreaker asked

“A new Terran!” Hashtag gasps

“But.. I don’t feel them” Robby said, looking at his cybersleeve

“Neither do I” Mo added

The bot was not a protoform. It was clear that they already had an altmode. The slender bot had a black paint job and some gray highlights, along with white parts of their body that glowed faintly. Not to mention, they were quite tall, even taller than Hashtag. Their height was increased by the stilettos they were wearing.

“Hi there!” Hashtag waved

“Are you a Terran?” Twitch asked

Duh, they’re in the cave water!” Thrash scoffed, nudging her.

 

The Terran stood there. They heard voices behind them, but they felt no urge to turn around and reply. They had no curiosity as to who the people were.
They continued to stand there and stare at the wall in front of them aimlessly.

“Hello???” Twitch said

“Do you think they can hear us?” Robby asked

“I don’t think so..” Mo replied

Twitch flew over to the Terran, waving her arm in front of them.

“Hi! I’m Twitch, your sister” She smiles

The Terran glanced at the vibrant red bot with orange optics. Their helm tilted slightly.

“No” They say

“Uhh.. what?” Twitch questioned

“No” They repeat
“I do not have a sister” They say, their voice monotone

“But you are terran. You are our sibling” Nightshade chimes in

The Terran looks over to Nightshade, looking at them and down.

“I’m still not feeling anything” Mo whispered to Robby

Robby nods.

“I do not have a family.” The Terran said. They continued to stare at the wall

“You should come with us, we can help you” Thrash says, smiling as he approached the young terran

The Terran doesn’t reply. The urge to reply simply wasn’t there. The Terran glanced over to Twitch.
There was awkward silence for a moment.

“So uh, what’s your alt mode?” Jawbreaker asks, breaking the silence

“A stick.” They reply

“Um.. cooolll…” Thrash says

“You should come with us” Twitch smiled

“Kids?! What did you find down there?!” Dottie asked
Seconds later, she slid down into the cave and found all 7 of her kids talking to this tall, dark transformer.
“Who is that?!” Dottie asked, getting in a defensive stance

“It’s okay!” Twitch assures
“This is.. uhh….” She says, but she doesn’t actually know this terran’s name.

“We’re not sure” Robby says

“We can’t feel a connection” Mo frowns

The Terran looked over to see Dottie staring up at them.

“Can we choose a name for you?” Hashtag asks

“They should be allowed to choose for themself, Hashtag” Nightshade spoke

“It can choose for me” The Terran said
“I do not care”

“Hmm.. oh! Here are some names from movies I’ve watched! Um, Alejandro, Cherri, Kim. Uhh… oh! How about Captain America?” Hashtag recommends

The Terran just blinks really slowly.

“How about we call them Error?” Twitch recommends

“Oh yeah! How didn't I think of that?” Hashtag chuckles

“What do you think?” Twitch asks

“I don’t think they can think” Thrash says, poking them on the arm.

The Terran looks down at Thrash then decides to walk away from the Maltos.

“Wait! Wh-Where are you going?” Jawbreaker asks

The Terran, now named Error, strutted towards the exit and climbed out.

“Woah! Who are you?” The rest of the Maltos could hear Alex say outside

“We should follow them” Robby says

The Maltos, save Alex, exit the cave and Error is standing there next to Alex.

“Um.. hello!” Alex shouts
Error blinks.
“Who’s this big guy?” He asks

“That’s Error, they’re a New Terran!” Twitch says, clearly excited to have a new sibling

“I must make room for them in our base!” Nightshade comments

“A new Terran? Wow! I didn’t know the emberstone made more!” Alex smiles

Error attempts to take another step forward, but unfortunately, their knees buckle and they fall to the floor. It didn’t help that they were wearing stilettos.

“Woah! Are you okay?!” Twitch asks

“What happened?” Jawbreaker frowns

“It appears they do not know how to walk” Nightshade says

“But they climbed out of the cave just fine” Robby reasoned

“Perhaps we should take them home” Nightshade suggests

 

——————————————

 

Suddenly, a pair of white optics widen and are met with a roof.

It was Error, the new Terran.

Error, still, bore no curiosity as to where they were. Nor did they feel the need to leave or sit up.

“Look! Look! They’re awake!” Jawbreaker grinned

“Excellent!” Nightshade smiles, running over to Error
“Hello sibling, how are you feeling?” Nightshade asks

“I do not feel anything” Error stated, looking away from Nightshade.

“Perhaps it is a malfunction” Nightshade wonders, crossing their arms and tilting their head

Error doesn’t reply and simply stares at the roof.
Error was in the Terran’s little base underneath the barn that Nightshade had created some time ago.
The other terrans were hanging out around the base.

“Is Error up?” Mo asks, looking over to them

Error sits up, staring at the wall in front of them.
“Oh! Oh! Can I be the one to teach them the ways of a Terran?!” Nightshade asks with enthusiasm

Error glances at Nightshade before staring at the wall again.

“Sure” Hashtag nods

“Suit yourself” Thrash shrugs

“Oh! I cannot wait to be the older sibling!” Nightshade exclaims
“Follow me, Error!” They grin

“I cannot walk” Error spoke

“Here, we’ll help you” Hashtag says, bringing Error to their feet with her green sibling to help them.

————————————

 

Hashtag and Nightshade managed to drag Error outside. Hashtag had gone back inside to play with her other siblings. Error was sitting on the grass, staring blankly at their ‘sibling’.

“What would you like to do first?” Nightshade asks
“It seems you have found your alt mode, do you know how to use it?”

“I am a stick.” Error says

“How did you scan a stick?” Nightshade asks, genuinely curious

“I saw a stick. It was bright. Then my optics glowed and I became the stick.” Error says

“How curious. What caused you to scan it?” Nightshade questions, bending down on one knee to get closer to Error’s optic level

“It happened. I don't care how” Error replies, looking away

“Hmm” Nightshade hummed
“How about we train! Do you know how to fight?”

Error picks a blade of grass and stares at it for a moment.
“I have never fought” Error replies, still staring at the singular blade of grass.

“Well, I’ll help you find out your abilities then!” Nightshade says

Suddenly, dramatically loud engines sounded across the Malto’s property.

“That is a loud noise” Error stated

“Oh! It is Bumblebee!” Nightshade grins

A second later, a yellow car came rushing into the scene. Error blinked with their usual lack of expression. The yellow car transformed into a tall, yellow, horned autobot.

Bumblebee.

“Hey Nightshade!” Bumblebee said. Then he brought his attention to Error.
“Uhh.. who’s this bot?” He asked

“This is our new sibling, Error” Nightshade introduced

“We are not siblings” Error said, putting the blade of grass down

“A new Terran! Fun!” Bumblebee smiles

“Is that Bumblebee’s engines I hear?” Alex chimed in, running out the house

“Hello dad!” Nightshade waves

“Hey Alex. You didn’t tell me you and Dot got a new kid” Bee said

“Oh, sorry. Error’s new” Alex chuckled

“We just got them today” Nightshade added, an adorable little smile on their face

“Wait a minute, how did a new Terran pop out the ground if we don’t have the ember stone anymore?” Bumblebee asks

“Good question. One of my theories is that the explosion of the emberstone created a strong energy pulse that caused them to come to life” Nightshade explains

“Interesting” Bumblebee said
“Nice to meet you kid, I’m Bumblebee” He says, sticking his servo out with a smile

Error blinked.
“Okay.” Error said

Bumblebee shamefully took his servo back.
“Okay, this Terran isn’t really touchy huh?” Bumblebee asks

“Bumblebee!” Twitch cheered, zooming out of the barn to hug her mentor

“Oh! Hey Bee” Jawbreaker waved from the barn.

“Hi!” Hashtag grins

“Hey Bee, what's up?” Thrash says, crossing his arms

“Hey guys” Bumblebee replied
“Just wanted to check in on you guys, but I see you’ve made a new sibling”

Error picks another blade of grass, staring at it intensely.

“Yep! That’s Error” Twitch says

Error drops the grass and starts poking a nearby flower, not paying much attention to any of the other transformers around her.

“I’m showing them the way of the Terrans” Nightshade smiled

Bumblebee put a smug look on his face.
“Don’t you think they’d be better off being taught by yours truly?” Bumblebee asked, pointing at himself with his thumbs.

Error looked up at Bumblebee.

“Nope! I would like to spend time with my sibling” Nightshade said

“Oh. Uh, alright” Bumblebee says

“That’s okay Bee, we can train instead” Jawbreaker says

“Yeah, I’ve been wanting to test out my sword more!” Mo grinned

“My shield too” Robby added

“Okay!” Bee smiled

“Have fun!” Nightshade waved as their siblings ran over to train with Bumblebee
“Ah! How fun! We have the rest of the day to ourselves now, sibling” Nightshade cheered

“Okay” Error replied

“Hmm. Do you not want to train your physical abilities?” Nightshade asks. Error simply shrugged.
“Perhaps not. Well then, I would like to get to know you better”

“I don’t know anything about myself.” Error said, continuing to poke the flower.

“Perhaps we can learn together then” Nightshade says, putting their legs to their chassis and smiling reassuringly.
“What is your favorite color?”

“I do not have one” Error replied, placing their servo on the dirt patch on the ground.

“Well, how about your identity? What are your pronouns?” They ask

“I do not know, I do not care” Error said

“My pronouns are they/them, we have been calling you by that as well. Do you prefer he or she?”

“..You may call me whatever you’d like, anything..” Error answers
“Do you not understand that I cannot feel anything?” Error asks

“I am trying to help change that, dear sibling” Nightshade says, placing their servo on Error’s shoulder.
“It can be dangerous not to be able to feel. You cannot build morals, or even limits” Nightshade explains. Error glances at Nightshade before looking away after a long moment. Error stands up and falls over immediately.
“Let’s learn to walk first, shall we?”

Nightshade and Error spent some time trying to help Error balance on their feet and start to walk.
Normally, Cybertronians or even Terrans don’t need to learn how to walk or stand properly, they’re born already knowing that information.
Error knew how to walk, but since she stood stiff in that cave for so long, her legs began to grow sore and tired, and her legs eventually just gave in, making her unable to walk. He’d learn how to eventually.

One step, then two, then three.

“I am walking” Error stated, no excitement in their voice

“See, you’re a natural!” Nightshade says
“Now that you can walk, let’s see if you can transform” They say

Error stands and stares at his sibling. She did not feel the need to transform. It might’ve been a part of their culture and their nature, but they didn’t feel the need to. They didn’t even feel the ability to.

“…” Error continues to stare

Is.. everything alright?” Nightshade asks
Error shrugs.
“Can you not transform?” They question

“I can. I have once. I was a stick” Error replies, looking at their feet

“That is alright! Our brother and sister, Twitch and Thrash, spoke of their difficulty to transform” Nightshade assured
“Perhaps we can go into town! Maybe you’ll find a passion there!” They suggested. Nightshade grabbed their sibling by the servo and rushed over to the other Maltos
“Family! Error and I are going on a trip to town! We shall regress soon!” They announced

“Woah there Shadey, I don’t think it’s safe to bring the new terran to town. We don’t know their abilities yet, I think better to train them a little longer before introducing them to society” Bumblebee recommended

“I see.” Nightshade says, thinking with their chin resting on their fist.
“Alright! We will train in the forest” Nightshade smiles

“Be careful Nightshade!” Mo smiles, waving

“Bye Nightshade!” Robby says

“Don’t go too far!” Twitch tells them

All the others wave to Nightshade and Error. Nightshade waves back at them.
“Try waving back” Nightshade tells Error
Error glanced at Nightshade. Error put their servo up and swayed their arm robotically. Nightshade transformed into their alt mode, grabbing their sibling with their talons.
“Hang tight” Nightshade says

Nightshade and Error fly over to the forest. It was filled with beautiful green trees and luscious grass. Nightshade put Error down and they sat on the floor. They began to pick grass again.

“This is grass” Error says

“That is correct” Nightshade says.
“Now let’s train your abilities”
“Do you have any blasters or blades?” They ask
Error shrugs. Nightshade thinks for a moment.
“Ah-hah!” Nightshade noises. They picked up a small rock and threw it towards Error, expecting her to react and transform out of instinct.

But what they forgot to take into account is that Error cannot feel.

The rock hit Error in the helm. A moment passed before Error spoke up. “That is a rock” Error pointed out flatly.

“Oh. I apologize, I should not be rushing you into this. I did not want to be rushed when I was a protoform. Perhaps you are the same” Nightshade spoke
“Perhaps we could have some fun instead?” They offered

Error looked at the owlformer in front of him. He blinked a few times.
“Fun.” Error repeated. Error wasn’t quite sure what that meant entirely. Nightshade mistook that as a confirmation and grinned happily.

“Perfect! We can play with our siblings” Nightshade beams
Nightshade stuck their servo out in attempts to help Error stand up. Error did not feel the urge to grab Nightshade’s servo. Error places a grass blade on Nightshade’s servo. Nightshade looks at the grass blade and blinks owlishly at the sight.
“Thank you” They smile

Error suddenly transforms her servo into a blaster and it begins to load by itself. Nightshade gasped and dodged before the blast could hit them.

“I transformed” Error stated

“Ah, good job. But perhaps we should work on target practice” Nightshade chuckled
Nightshade spent a while teaching Error how to shoot and aim. Error passively listened, if he was listening at all.
“Now that you understand, try hitting that rock over there” Nightshade directed

Nightshade waited for Error to move their arm. They blinked and lifted Error’s arm up to the target. Error’s blaster loaded and shot the rock. It practically evaporated in nothing but atoms. Strange…

“There.” Error said

“Wonderful!” Nightshade grinned.
“Now, let’s go have fun with the other Terrans” Nightshade says. Nightshade transforms and lifts Error up nice more and flies back to the barn.
“Siblings! We have returned!” They announce, placing Error on the floor and transforming once again.

“Hey guys! How was it?” Mo asked
“Does Error have crazy powers?!” She beams, making crazy hand motions

Nightshade chuckles. “Not quite. He was trying his best to transform before he eventually did! He has a blaster” Nightshade smiles, gesturing towards the emotionless Terran next to them.

“He?” Robby asked

“Ah, they have told me they prefer to go by any pronouns.” Nightshade explains

“Oh. Cool” Robby says, giving Error a thumbs up

“Kids! Lunch time!” Dottie calls from the house

“Ooh! I call getting the first cave water snack!” Hashtag exclaims, transforming and driving off

“Ask Alex if he has any energon!” Bumblebee shouts, chasing after his purple student in alt mode.

“Hey! I wanted the first cave water snack!” Thrash whined, chasing after his sister and his mentor as a motorcycle.

“Wait for us!” Jawbreaker shouts, transforming and letting his eldest siblings hop on since they didn’t have alt modes.

Twitch transformed and chased her siblings, laughing as she did so.

“Such a wonderful family” Nightshade smiles

“So much noise” Error stated, walking forward to follow the Maltos.

Nightshade’s expression faltered, they took that as a rude statement. But Error was simply saying what they factually observed. The Maltos did create a lot of noise. Error didn’t see that as bad, they simply saw that as true. Error wasn’t being rude, just truthful.

The kids all sat outside as Dottie passed out all the cave water snacks, all fit to match each Terran. Mo and Robby sat inside and ate human food.

“Twitch, can you pass this to Error for me?” Dottie asked, holding out a cave water snack.

“Sure mom” Twitch smiled, taking the snack and flying up to give it to Error.
“Here” She says.

“I do not need that” Error stated

“But if you don’t refuel with cave water, you’ll lose energy!” Hashtag says

“It happened to me and Twitch once, it was horrible!” Thrash added

Error sat down, still not taking the snack. Twitch pursed her metal lips, lowering in diffidence.

“Hey Error, be nice to your fellow Terrans. They’re just trying to help you” Bumblebee says

“I do not need help. She is wasting her time” Error replied

“Error!” Dottie exclaimed.
“Apologize” She tells the young Terran

Error stayed silent. They suddenly lost the urge to speak. They stared blankly at the flying red Terran above.

Twitch’s optics glowed as a response of her emotions.
“I-it’s okay, mom. He was just born.” Twitch reasons.
“I’ll just leave his snack there” Twitch says, placing the snack right next to Error’s servo

Robby and Mo’s cyber sleeve lit up.
“He’s kind of being rude,” Robby whispered to Mo.

Mo frowned and nodded in agreement.

“Well, he can’t feel emotions right? Maybe he doesn’t feel like he’s hurting Twitch’s feelings.” Alex assumed

“But that doesn’t change the fact that he should apologize to Twitch!” Thrash whisper shouted

“Guys, he’s right behind us” Hashtag reminded

Error didn’t care though. They literally couldn't care less. Or more —for that matter.

Bumblebee walked over to Error.
“Hey kid. You should apologize to Twitch. She was just trying to make sure you don’t go through what she went through when she was your age. I get you can’t feel emotions or whatever but just try. Okay?” Bumblebee spoke

“You are a teacher. You expect me to learn, but I cannot learn if I do not go through experiences myself” Error remarked.
“But I do not care for learning” Error adds

Bumblebee sighs.
“Please go apologize to your sister” He says

Error stands up.
“Not my sister.” He reminds

He walks up to Twitch.
“I am apologizing” Error says

“Um.. thanks” Twitch grins crookedly

“You sound ungrateful” Error says

Thrash scoffs. “He just says anything that’s on his mind, doesn’t he?” He scowls

Error purses his lips. He steps away and just wanders off.

“Perhaps you should be a little more understanding, brother. Like dad said, he likely doesn’t know he’s hurting our feelings” Nightshade spoke

Mo and Robby’s cyber sleeve light up. They both felt pity from Nightshade.
Mo sighed.
“Maybe they’re right. We should take it easy on Error” Mo agreed

“I guess” Robby huffed, crossing his arms

“While I agree with you sweetie. We should still teach Error some respect. I don’t want him treating Optimus with that sort of respect” Dottie states

“Hm..” Hashtag muttered
“Ahah! I have an idea! First thing tomorrow we all try our best to teach Error. Together!” She recommends

“That sounds delightful” Nightshade smiles, wrapping their arms around their triplet sister

“I can’t wait to teach a Terran!” Jawbreaker cheers

“Me too!” Hashtag grins

The triplets giggle in shared excitement.

“For now, we should give them some time” Nightshade says

Mo smiles. “Can’t wait to officially add a new Terran to the fam!” She says

Error sat in the barn alone, her optics glowing white in the dark.

A ship was flying through outer space. It was setting course to earth.

A single online bot was on the ship.

A decepticon.

But not just any decepticon.

“Megatron.” He growled
