'Sup. So, looks like I decided to retake the story. For those who read the old version (which I don't know why, but I deleted) you know that there'll be a lot of OCs here, but hey, when you create an entire faction you need a lot of people right?

Anyway, I don't really care for favs or follows, but I do care very much 'bout reviews, so why don't you make me happy and send me a review?

Changing and shifting. That with this ability shall fool our enemy.

A lone Vehicon walked down the halls of the Nemesis, playing with a small metallic ball by throwing it in the air and catching it. His visor was purple instead of red, he had four digits instead of three and had black stripes all over his body. Also, his chest was straight. The place where a Decepticon insignia should have been was completely blank.

His "fellow" Vehicons would think of him as insane. Commander Starscream would think of him as an annoyance. The medic, Knockout would look at him with a light curiosity while his partner, Breakdown would laugh at his jokes and consider him a friend. Lord Megatron would consider him a brave soldier and would smile openly whenever Starscream lost an argument against him or would be the target of his ever present pranks.

The third in command and communication officer, Soundwave, was the one most intrigued by the drone.

SOUNDWAVE'S P.O.V -

Why he is so intriguing? Why isn't he afraid of showing he has a personality like the other Vehicons? Why he is not afraid of pulling pranks, inventing nicknames or making jokes, why he is not afraid of being in the presence of a higher ranking 'bot, why he is not afraid of being one of our main focus? Why is he so different from the other drones, mentally and physically?

Also, why is he making himself present to me and others? Why is he such a good friend to Breakdown? Why does he argue so often with Starscream? Why is he willing to buff Knockout's paintjob and helping him in the medbay?

Why is he scanning frames? Knockout and Breakdown when he was in the medbay with them, Megatron when he was reporting after a mission and Starscream after one of their many fights?

And most important, why lord Megatron allowed him to participate in what should be a private reunion in the control room? Why did he even stood there when all the other Vehicons left and after his friend asked (better, whispered) him to come?

- Key, you're coming?

- Can't miss this opportunity, Steve.

What did he meant by that? Why can't he miss the opportunity?

Just what the frag is wrong with this Vehicon's processor?

- Lord Megatron, may I ask you something? - Starscream asked in a low tone so that the drone leaning against a wall close to the doors couldn't hear. I noticed he was also playing with a small, red ball with a symbol on it. I can't tell what it is though as he is throwing it in the air and catching it.

- What is it, Starscream?

- Why did you allowed the drone to stay?

Lord Megatron's optics seemed to soften a little when he looked at the Vehicon, still playing with his ball.

- He is… different. - Was our lord's answer. I could see a faint smile forming on his faceplates, before a determinate look took its place - Key, isn't it?

The drone looked up and nodded, storing his ball in his subspace. Lord Megatron made a motion for him to walk closer to us, what he did without any fear or hesitation in his posture. He took his place between Breakdown and Starscream, much to the seeker's anger.

Breakdown however, seemed to be happy that his friend was by his side. Maybe it is a good thing that "Key" is so different. Knockout told me Breakdown had been diagnosed with paranoia and even though he was much better, he still needed some help.

By the look of relief in Knockout's face, Key may be this help.

I can't help but notice how… quiet he is. I keep an eye on him every day, and he is usually talking, but he seems a little… gloomy today. Even his EM seems to be darker in a way.

He remained quiet during the whole meeting while the rest of us spoke (in my case, played) about tactics, operations on energon mines and things like that. He would only speak when giving small, but impressively useful tips and a few minor corrections that when analyzed deeper, could spare us many efforts.

After the meeting ended, he looked at me and did what I already expected him to do sooner or later.

He scanned my frame.

BREAKDOWN'S P.O.V

- Why do you keep doing that? - I asked after Key scanned Soundwave's frame. He looked at me and offered me that red ball he was always playing with.

- Same reason I want you to keep this. - He answered. Confusion spread through my faceplates when I took the ball. I know by a matter of fact that thing is important to him for him to carry it around wherever he goes.

- Sorry.

Before any of us could ask, he transformed from a purple and black Vehicon to a small purple and black mech with a huge visor that covered his entire faceplates minus his mouth. There was a black symbol on his visor, a cobra wrapped around a crescent moon with a diamond over its head.

A ground bridge opened behind him and he seemed ready to jump into it, but stopped and look at us.

- The name's Kree-O, from the Scourge.

…

Kree-O sat on a cliff gazing out to the desert. Why leaving the Nemesis had been so hard for the usually cheery 'bot?

He let out a sigh and rested his helm on his servos. He knew exactly why.

"Friendships were not supposed to be made. You know that."

The somber, yet kind and maternal voice invaded Kree-O's thoughts. He was expecting her to talk to him soon. He was sad, and she would know that. She always did.

- I couldn't help it. - He said in a whisper - He may have a Decepticon symbol, but he is not like them. He is… different.

"I am not judging you, Kree-O." The voice spoke, softly "The reason you should avoid friendships was so that you would not be hurt. Yet, I must confess you gave us a chance."

- A chance? For what?

"If Breakdown's spark is really the way you said it is, he will not only try to find you, but will comprehend your reasons." She explained "And maybe he will want to join our cause."

Kree-O's optics widened with realization behind his visor. She was right!

- You're right! - He said, getting up and smiling - But I should have expected that. You're always right.

"I'm happy to hear that. Now, go. You and the others must be prepared."

- Okay, I'll do back to base and… wait, what? - Kree-O asked, confused - What do you mean? What do we have to prepare for?

"There is something about to happen that has been foreseen long before you were even online, something that will destroy this, and many other worlds. I do not have the power to stop it, but you have the power to change this world's fate."

Kree-O nodded slowly, knowing very well she wouldn't tell him what it was. She was a walking riddle.

"And Kree-O? Do not suffer. You may be away from one friend, but many others are waiting for you. Some are here, some far away. You can count on them, and on me. You know that."

Kree-O smiled as he felt a wave of peace in his spark. It was her doing that, he knew, but the warmth and kindness on her words were more than welcome. He knew she wouldn't talk to him again for a while, but still, she could hear him. All of them.

- Thanks, Psychosis.
