Prologue

Run, I thought to myself, urgently trying to stay ahead of her pursuer, Don't stop running. You stop, and they catch you. They catch you, and your dead.

I turned into an ally, bending my head down and transforming into a Cybertronian wolf. I jumped and dodged around obstacles, nearly tripping as I hit my right hind leg on a sharp piece of metal. I hissed in pain, but continued on my way, limping.

"Stop!" Cried the annoying, scratchy voice of her pursuer, as he tripped and stumbled after me. I allowed myself a small grin, but then I heard a jet, and looked up, optics widening in terror.

"Aw, I'm so slagged." I muttered to myself, trying to stay ahead of the red and white Cybertronian jet.

Then I came to a dead stop, optics widening in horror as I noticed that this way was a dead end. I turned to go back, to barely avoid crashing into my pursuer's leg. I backed up, as far as I could, until my tail brushed the metal wall behind me.

"Well," croaked the Cybertronian jet, "look what we have here. An Energon thief? Do you know how Decepticons deal with Energon thieves?"

I tried to resist trembling as I stared at him wide-eyed. I bearing my sharp, razor-blade fangs at him, trying to ward him off. He just laughed cruelly at my feeble attempt to look threatening. He took another step forwards, pointing the guns that were attached to his arms at me, grinning darkly at me.

"I will enjoy off-lining you..." He announced, getting ready to shoot me in the head. I closed my optics, not wanting to see it happen.

"Starscream," A monotonous voice came from behind the Cybertronian jet. I opened my optics to see the jet look behind him in surprise.

"What do you want, Soundwave." The jet, Starscream, sneered.

"Deactivation: unnecessary." The other Cybertronian, Soundwave, replied.

Starscream frowned at the other Cybertronian. "What do you mean, Soundwave?"

"Problem: Energon thief; Options: kill; capture; convince to join Decepticons." Soundwave replied, his way of speaking making my head hurt.

"What?!" Starscream shrieked, stepping away from Soundwave in shock, "Is your CPU fried?! It just stole from us, and you want to adopt it?!" Starscream seemed outraged and dumbfounded.

"Affirmative." Soundwave droned out. Starscream looked at Soundwave with suspicion.

"Why?" Starscream asked. Soundwave walked by Starscream, shoving him out of his way.

"Reason: possible spy." Soundwave intoned, his monotonous voice making me shiver inside.

"You mean..." Starscream trailed off, "You're seriously thinking of adopting it?"

"Affirmative," Soundwave answered, "Request: designation."

I frowned, not sure whether or not I could trust the Decepticon, but then decided that it would be safer to just go along with him. He seemed to be a caring Cybertronian, even though he was a Decepticon. I felt I was safe near him, as if he would give his Spark to protect those under his protection.

"Shadowfang..." I trailed off, my dark golden optics looking Soundwave in the visor, "I am the only survivor of my city, my mother was an Autobot, my father a Decepticon. I am still undecided on my side in the war, I find war senseless. What's the point? In the end, even if you do win, you fall in another war anyways."

Soundwave nodded his head slightly, and Starscream snorted. "Nice choice, Soundwave, a solider that hates war? Hah!"

I snarled slightly at Starscream, beared my razor-blade fangs at him again. Starscream looked at my fangs cautiously, wary of the possibility of the razor-blades cutting into his armor and causing destruction.

"I can fight, and I'm fast!" I retorted, "I'm also silent and cunning, the only reason you noticed me was because of that Cybertronian bird!"

Soundwave nodded his head slightly. "Cybertronian bird designation: Laserbeak; Function: spy."

I transformed, favoring my right leg slightly. I nodded to Soundwave, shooting Starscream a glare.

"I accept your invention," I announced, putting some pressure on my right leg and wincing slightly, "I'll join the Decepticons."

Soundwave nodded his head, pleased that he had managed to convince me to join them. Starscream sneered at me, seemingly not convinced of my loyalty.

I'll show them, I thought, Just wait and see.

Author Note: Well, this is another story, and it was nagging me until I decided to write it. R&R please.
