Zypher approached slowly. It knew better then to simply saunter in like it owned the place. Slag, it wasn't even sure if Megatron still remembered it! But Zypher had to do this. For its own good and the good of the team. So many questions drifted through its mind about how this was going to go, if it ever went down...bit it had to, Zypher reminded its self sternly. This had to be done, no more beating around the bush.
Steeling its self, Zypher reluctantly brought up a claw to the massive blast door leading to its father's quarters and scrapped them along the smooth surface. The sound was far louder than a knock, but it was required because the door was heavily soundproofed on the inside. Once it was sure Megatron had head it, it stood back several feet, legs straight and wings tucked in tight against its thin body. All it could do now was wait...

The sound of the heavy echoing metal took Megatron by surprise. He had not expected more visitors within the hour. Looking up from his fist at which his crested head laid, he stared at the door, as if the metal made the sound itself. Glaring at it, he sat up in his throne, now both arms parallel to the arms of the rumble of which he continued to sit at. He had to admit, the throne had gone through some years.
"Come in" he simply called out, almost no tone to his voice to indicate if he was welcoming, angry, or simply annoyed.

Zypher stepped forward, not wasting anytime in trying to look formal. The old, but well mantained door slid open and it walked through into the shadow cast room that reminded it of the crypts it some raided to find a bite to eat. The thought wasn't exactly comfortable and already it could feel Megatron boring holes into its head. It had grown a little since last they met, but one human year was hardly a month in Transformers time so there was nothing special to present to her father.
Zypher lowed its head in what it hoped was a repectful nod then got down on one knee in a traditional Decepticon bow, "Zypher here serve Megatron..."

Spotting the small shadow make its way from the door, Megatron raised an optic. Had he not expected another visitor, he was certainly not expecting this. Though it was to no shock that the small dragon would have returned one day. It was a feeling in his gut-like spark, ever since Sideways brought to his attention that the nuisance was still alive. Why didn't he exterminate her on the spot? Simply because it would just be a waste of energon.
But now that she was back, perhaps he could use to his advantage. It had his sense of dark humor at points, and it trained enough, could have a proportion of his combat power. Not to mention- it was still a sparkling. Autobots would never harm it. A easy way to bargain.
"Zypher... And here I thought we would never meet again..." a sly smirk made its' way over his pale blue face. Aqua optics staring down at the dragon, almost as if to brainwash it from the start.
"Tell me, why do you wish to return to my army? What happened to that... inferior Darkfire, you took off with Hm?"
He remembered the dark hydrothrax very well. Her crazed, random actions. It was as if her spark had been glitched from the day it was processed. Crashing the very walls of his base, and thusfor- behind him was not walls but the moon itself. Irritating.

"Zypher left. Got told Zypher need do better thing. Need join Decepticons again." It explained quietly its typically clipped fashion. Zypher cursed the damage to its vocal box that gave it such a bad speech problem, but it shook it off.
"Zypher do what Megatron say now on. Listen no one but Megatron and Bad Prime. He say Zypher need wake up smell energon. Get serious, not be weak. Zypher...agree with Bad Prime. No more weak Zypher."

A small chuckle escaped the deep voice receptors as Zypher mentioned this, Bad Prime.
"So I see you've met Nephthys Prime... Yes... He could be a good teacher for you. Under his training you could prove to actually be useful for a change. Maybe over time my thoughts will leave about you being a complete mistake."
Shifting, Megatron looked up at the ceiling for a split second, then back down to the dragon.
"If you succeed in this...training, he is providing you... I will restore your voice module. I will need to understand my worthwhile soldiers on the battlefield without thinking twice."

The offer was actually pretty tempting. The chance to finally be able to speak normally would be great! Although, it had to admit, its busted speech was a sort of...signature for the young dragon. A way to make its self unique. This coming from a femme that called its self an it and refereed to itself in the third person. That was unique enough for its tastes actually.
"Zypher thank Megatron. Zypher make proud!" it announced, this time without having to fake the whole thing.
It was...determained.

The large bot' nodded in satisfaction, the smirk still placed upon his lips.
"Good... now be off. Nephthys isn't a patient one. Your rest will be... required."

"Yes, sir." it bowed one more time then scrurried out of the still open door.
When back outside, Zypher held in a small shudder and thought of what to do next. Resting was the most likely course of action, but it was important that it get back to Len and Starscream as well. Thinking over the facts, it decided to go ahead and rest for now. Len wasn't in danger anymore so there was little to no reason it should stick around. Trouble seemed to be attracted to it instead of the human anyways...it was for the best.

Nephthys Prime, who had been wondering through the base and wisely keeping his distance from everybody should they all be in a foul mood with him, noticed Zypher going by. He kept to the shadows as the little sparkling ran by. He knew he was despised, but he would rather have that than be liked by anyone. Distance was the only thing that had kept him alive. He was a loner by nature. He worked and hunted alone. He had been alone ever since that day of his near destruction.
As soon as Zypher disappeared around the corner, the big dragon shifted to his bipedal form and poked his head through the door and noticed that Megatron was seated on his throne.
"Greetings, Megatron," he said finely. "I see that Zypher has told you the news about me taking her under my wing for the time being."
He allowed his mask to form a simple smirk beneath his mask. He was looking forward to the day of training the little sparkling, but he had a feeling that something could come up. She seemed to be behaving too well.

"That she has, Nephthys. I look forward to what you can do to that scrap pile before the week is over."
Placing his crest against his fist once more, too lazy to exert anymore energy of keeping his head up, he simply faced the larger dragon with a bored expression.
"And good news to you. Faye will be in the base sooner than expected. Our information may be retrieved before the week is over. Allow this message to let you know that it is best you wait til the boy says go."
He allowed his dark optics to shift over the dragon, letting him know that the news wasn't a sign to make haste, but to do complete opposite. To remain stable, and save all the extra energy and wishing til the time came.

Nephthys felt his smirk grow even bigger, but he prevented himself from showing it completely. Still, he couldn't help but acknowledge Megatron that he was pleased with the news. He had been waiting for quite a while for the good news, but this made him extremely happy that things were going according to plan. Soon, he would be taking on Spiritimus and she would be down for the count.
Nephthys bowed his head a little to show both his appreciation and his knowing.
"I have a feeling that she may try something while under my training, but I will have to wait and see as time goes by," he said. "I will keep you updated on her progress as we go along."
He lifted an optic ridge for a moment before he nodded a little.
"Also, I will admit that this pleases me about the news. I look forward to the day where Spiritimus will go down in the crossfire. However, I have news for you when I looked into the Matrix a short while ago during the discussion and the welcoming party of Len and Zypher."

His smirk gone, Megatron lifted an optic ridge.
"Welcoming party? Is that how you two were introduced..."
A small, deep laughter came from the throne holder.
"I am shocked you didn't lay waste of them right then, Nephthys. An applaud to you."

Bludgeon stepped through the entrance of the base, looking round to see if he could find anything, hoping he could find something he could use while searching for Megatron and the other earth Decepticons

Nephthys folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the door. He waited patiently for Megatron to stop laughing, but the only thing he could do was twitch his tail in slight annoyance.
"I'm not surprised either," he said as he stared at one of his claws and returned his attention to Megatron. "For some reason, I could never find it in myself to attack that... glitch. Either it was because of my code of honour or because of Spiritimus's liking towards kids... I find it... disturbing."
He shook his head in mere annoyance and flicked his massive tail in a sweeping motion in boredom.
"Do you wish to know of the news I have heard or do you wish to continue the discussion about your... creation?"
He was getting bored real fast, and he was not here to talk about Zypher or Len. He had important news, and he would rather spit it out and leave rather than just move away from his thoughts.
