Journey of the Eradicon

Prologue: Decision

He was in a mine mining for energon like always...when the autobot didn't attack them. He was mining peacefully in company of his clan: the Eraticon. So much of them already been offline during the war and even now on earth they are still being offline by following Megatron orders of being offline by his anger. He didn't show it, but he's afraid like the pit about being offline. For him, it's a curse that he's smarter than most of his clan...maybe even smarter than Soundwave, but he don't want any con find out. He's also the most courageous of his clan, but he's still afraid of exiting this world.

"Hey! X-102, did you hear the rumors." Asks an Eraticon to him.

"No." Answers X-102

"I hear that Starscream has-" But he was interrupted by a shout.

"Autobot's coming!" Shout another Eraticon.

X-102 was ready to fight...for his survival. The battle was intense, but like always, many of his clan perish during the fight. His luck was the worse, he's fighting Optimus Prime. He knew he doesn't stand a chance, but if he doesn't fight him he'll be dead anyway by Megatron's hand. He took his blaster and point at Optimus. He was charging at him and he shoots at him. X-102 dodges to the left and shoots back at Optimus. His blaster wasn't powerful enough to stop Optimus advancing and he punches him at his faceplate.

"Urgh!" Complains X-102 in pain.

Optimus took his blade and point him at his faceplate. X-102 looks at the blade with fear.

So...this is how I'll be offline...No...I don't want to. Thought x-102.

The blade was out of his faceplate. Optimus looks at his optic and say:

"Go."

A simple word with only one signification...Optimus spare him. He's going to stay online for a while longer for his joy.

"..." He didn't replies, but he runs away before Optimus changes his mind...which he will not of course.

He would want to thank Optimus, but he can't thank an enemy. It was too risky for him.

He took the GB and returns in the nemesis with the survivor of the battle. After each battle, there are always less of them. At this rhythm...soon, they may be no more eraticon anymore. All of his clan may die...It might be more cruel if only one of them survive alone...That's hurting him so much at the thought that his clan may be eradicate forever. For some time, he thought about escaping the nemesis and doing...whatever he wants before being offline. He knew that someday, he'll be offline anyway so what's the point on staying in the nemesis and be offline in a battle when he could do more than just fighting and mining.

He remembers that every time he saw one of his own being offline, he always feel their sensation that they accomplish nothing, like...being offline without finding their purpose.

Few orbital cycles later

X-102 was consuming his energon when he learns about the return of Starscream and Airachnid from their mission's. X-102 didn't say anything and go to the control room and was slowly entering and hear they report. Starscream have been captured by the autobot.

Lucky bastard. Thought X-102.

But after a while, Soundwave announce to Megatron that Starscream haven't' been captured by the autobot, but he escape and gone rogue.

Then X-102 knew he can escape. If Starscream escape Megatron wrath, then he can too. All he has to do is overpass the security and open the bridge to a place on the planet and erase the coordinates. He can do it...He has to do this. If not...He'll die without feeling freedom.
