Random idea that popped in my head today. First chapter's a little short sorry.

ON TO THE STORY!

"Storm get down!" Starlight yelled to her old friend Stormracer. Both femmes threw themselves to the ground as another explosion erupted nearby. The ground trembled as they tried to regain their footing. It looked like just a normal day in the war for Cybertron. The two decepticons finally managed to escape the battlefield and fled back to base. When they made it there Starlight was greeted by her soon-to-be-sparkmate, Knockout.

"So how'd the mission go?" he asked. Starlight and Stormracer described the mission and how they were nearly blown up several times. After an hour or so Megatron walked into the hanger and all three cons stood to salute their leader. Stormracer respected and looked up to him, but Starlight was still cautious around him. He had a temper that would put Unicron to shame. At least he didn't seem to have any intentions for hurting Stormracer or Knockout.

"I have a special mission for Starlight. We've found information on the whereabouts of the autobot base. I need you to infiltrate and destroy it at once." Megatron informed. Starlight's wing twitched slightly at the severity of the mission. She bowed and followed him into his office to receive the full details. She never thought that that would be the last time she saw Knockout for many eons.

**At the sight, Starlight's POV**

I stalked down underneath the building where autobots were supposedly in hiding. There were several tunnels leading there so it wasn't hard for me to sneak in. I planted several plans, my teammates doing the same at different spots. My processor drifted to Stormracer and Knockout back at base. I hope they're not too worried about me. I smirked when I finally finished with my work. I exited the tunnels and commed my comrades to tell them to set off the bombs when they're ready. I peeked out of my hiding place to see a youngling exit the building with an ill looking femme, both smiling. That's when I realized what this place really is.

"NO!" I screamed as the explosions were set off. I can't believe it, I just bombed a hospital. The only ones there were sick people, younglings, and medics trying to keep them alive. I started trembling as tears threatened my optics. Megatron, he tricked me into doing this. Primus I'm such an idiot. I can't believe I killed all those innocents. That's it, I'm done with the decepticons. The autobots surely wouldn't offline others in cold energon like that! My intakes hitched as the screams of innocent Cybertronians filled my audios.

"Decepticon!" someone shouted. I looked up and saw a large black mech aiming his canon at me. I began to tremble and I bowed my helm in shame. I just hope he offlines me quickly. He seemed hesitant when he saw my state. My energon tears dripped on the ground as I waited for my fate to be sealed. "You caused this didn't you? Why would a con feel remorse?"

"I didn't know that this was a hospital. I was only told that it could help turn the war in our favor so I came to do my job. I didn't want to offline younglings or the sick. I'm so sorry, please offline me quickly. But if you don't offline me, I will willing become an autobot or your prisoner." I answered quietly. The mech put away his canons and knelt in front of me slowly. I flinched as he placed a servo on my shoulder. I looked up into his blue optics with my pink ones.

"I'm not usually one to forgive cons so easily, I usually one to shoot first and ask questions later. But you're a young femme who was tricked into doing something she's against. Prime would have my helm if I didn't show you mercy because you're asking for it. My name's Ironhide, I'm the weapon's specialist for the autobots." he explained. I smiled faintly and let him help me stand from my crouched position. "Your team, however, was caught and offlined."

"I don't want anything to do with the decepticons now, they can all rust in the Pits for all I care, especially Megatron." I growled. But deep down in my spark I knew that I didn't feel that way for all of them, especially Stormracer and Knockout. But Ironhide didn't need to know that. He led me back to where the autobots were currently taking shelter. I didn't notice Megatron hiding in the shadows with a scowl on his faceplate. I was questioned a lot by a bot called Prowl before I was sent to a medic who would help me disguise myself so I wouldn't be recognized.

**At the decepticon base, normal POV**

"Decepticons, I regret to inform you that Starlight was offlined in her last mission. The autobots caught her and destroyed her and her team. We honor her in her death for her bravery." Megatron announced. Knockout's spark shattered at the news and he completely changed. He became the vain con that we know today after that. Stormracer completely broke down into tears, unable to believe that her best friend was offlined by autobots. From that day on she decided she'd do anything she could to avenge Starlight. She looked up at Knockout who was also close to breaking down.

"The autobots will pay for this. Once I find out who did this to her Primus help me I'll…" Stormracer trailed off as a new wave of sobs hit her. Everyone soon dispersed and went to their respective rooms. Knockout laid on his berth staring at the ceiling. The shock had not yet worn off but the numbness faded and his spark was gripped in pain. He sat up and held his chest over his spark as tears threatened him. He couldn't believe the femme that was going to be his sparkmate was offlined. She always seemed so strong and powerful, no autobot could take her down.

"Forgive me Starlight, I couldn't keep you safe…" he murmured as he laid back down.

Hmmm wonder what's gonna happen to Starlight. Will Knockout and Stormracer ever fully recover from her "death"? You'll just have to wait till the next chapter to see!
