What have they done to you? Those pieces of slag…they'll pay if it's the last thing I ever make them do!
They got to you, did this to you, and I don't even expect to know what I'll do next when I get my hands on Oil Slick for this…!
Drag Wave, you were so outgoing, so friendly and caring…now look at you…
I know the human girl I knew is still inside you somewhere. I know she is!
It's all my fault. I…I failed in my duty to protect you and your brother…
I shouldn't have left you behind…I should have stayed at the school a-and..I have to go in.
I have to get in there..I have to go in...to rescue you..to bring you back home and restore you to normal..to the girl I once knew..once fought alongside with...once…loved.
I could see it in your optics the last time you fought Sunstreaker and I…the pain you felt at that moment.
You never wanted to fight, and yet were forced to like you were a bitch in a dog-fighting ring. I saw that you fought their influence, their reprogramming, which told us that you were, are, still inside there, fighting every waking moment to regain control of your destiny.
Jadra..don't worry. It's only a matter of time…I WILL RESCUE YOU! Make no mistake of that…I will save you….Kardinal!
….
sj: Yeah, this is a plot bunny that has recently popped up in my head and won't leave me alone. You see, my Batman OC, Jadra Wayne/Kardinal, was kidnapped by the Decepticons and turned into the femme Seeker, Drag Wave, by Oil Slick. Feeling that he is somehow in part responsible for what has transpired, Sideswipe makes a vow to do whatever it takes to save what little could possibly be left of Jadra's mind.
