Chapter 1

I jumped back when my larger brother snapped at me, his mandibles nearly connecting with my face. We have only been alive for a short time and already he has made himself out as the more dominant one. I may have been released from the tube like structure we were in after him, but that doesn't mean that he is superior to me. However he was much larger and stronger than I was, and I didn't want to see what he would do to me if I didn't obey him. The one eyed bot that created us walked up to us and I finally got a clear look at his paint job, which was purple. I could sense that he didn't like me as well as my brother, for I am much smaller than he is and did not have our race's natural amber optics. My paint job was also unnatural. Instead of the normal black and amber colors of our race, I was turquoise with red highlights. I looked exactly like my brother but smaller and feminine. I looked into the reflection of my brother's armor and saw that there was a bright cobalt blue reflecting off of the sheen in his paint job.

This was the first time that I had really noticed the color of my optics. What I had noticed before was that they were just different than my brother's. Creator put a finger to the side of his head and told someone on what I guessed was some kind of communication peace that he was ready to return. When a green portal opened up behind him he motioned for the both of us to stay until he gave us the key word. He said that we would know it when we heard it. We heard his voice drift through the portal.

"I present to you my liege, the ultimate Autobot hunters." I guess that was our que. We walked through the portal, brother going through first because I didn't want to get hurt. We ended up on the other side at the top of some tower silver tower. The two of us were in the center of a bunch of bot's that looked a lot alike. The biggest one rose from his throne, face plate and body posture shower surprise. My brother gave out an energon curtailing roar as he raised his wings to terrify the bot's even more. Wanting to win my brother over I did the same.

I watched as the tiny look a like's scuttled away in terror as the grey one with enormous wings on his back scuttled backward with a fear filled face plate. From right next to my brother I watched as the large silver one walked towards us as the current conversation about us carried on. He looked directly into my brother's optics saying something that didn't set well with me. The silver one then came towards me and looked directly into my optics. It was as if he could see right through me because of what he said next.

"Shockwave, your second pet seems to be a little, off. Like it does not want to be here, explain." Creator stepped forward and began to speak.

"It seems my lord that this one was slightly defective. Her coloring is off and is not of the more frequent colors of a Predicon. Most would have a variant dark colors, some being rare enough to adorn shade's blue. However, none of the Predicon's that have been bread in the past had a turquoise finish or cobalt blue optics. The insignia on its chest is even different than those before her." I tried to cock my head far enough to the side so I could see the insignia that my creator was talking about.

"It looks as if the 'black sheep' wants to see the insignia in which she was adorned. Soundwave, if you would care to show it what its shield is like." The silver mech stepped aside to let a purple one with no face walk up to me. He looked at my chest for a few seconds before looking back up at me. An image of some kind had appeared on his mask, one of my insignia. I took a good long look at it. It was kind looking, showed that it would not be any threat, made me feel welcome. The silent mech then turned toward my brother to show him. Brother turned toward us far enough for me to see the insignia on his chest. It struck fear into my spark, showed that evil was hidden within, wanted to make me run in fear. It was much like the one that the bot's in front of me held, yet far more sinister than that.

"Thank you Soundwave that will be all." The silver one told Soundwave. After talking about us a while longer we were presented with a small vile of energon.

"Behold, the spilled energon of Wheel Jack." Brother lowered his head down to the vile and looked at it, his optics glowing.

"Let the hunt begin." The silver one said before brother started to stomp around. He then extended his wings and flew away. Creator presented me the very vile in which he had presented brother, and motioned for me to scan it as well. I did, mimicked my brother and then flew after him. I had a feeling that this was going to turn out badly for one of us.
