This is what happens when 1) I listen to a very awesome song over and over and 2) Do bad things to my character that haven't happened in my story yet. I won't tell you everything, since it would give everything away, but I thought it would be nice to put this songfic up while I had it in my head.
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers. The belong to Hasbro. "New Divide" belongs to the band Linkin Park. I don't own that either.
Sky sighed as she curled up into a ball on her berth. Maybe, if she got a good recharge, everything that had happened could have been a dream. A bad dream, but still a dream. Hopefully... Hopefully...

Sky on-lined in a desert. "What the...?"
The sky suddenly became dark as music began playing. It sounded suspiciously like the music to the song that Miko had forced her to listen to...
I remember black skies
the lightning all around me.
There were lights... yellow lights flashing around her. Sky became scared. And confused. Though she was mostly scared. What was going on?
I remember each flash
as time began to blur
Memories of Sky's time with her family in Heion showed, moving around until the pictures became blurry.
Like a startling sign
that fate had finally found me
An image of Darkraid appeared in front of her. His red optics shone with insanity as he held his sword high above his head. The sword came down toward Sky's spark chamber, but the image vanished before it hit.
And your voice was all I heard.
That I get what I deserve.
Sky heard Waterfall's voice in her processor, telling her everything she had done wrong during the war. And the attack during Heion.
"No!" Sky screamed. She ran forward, trying to get away. Away from what, she wasn't sure.
So give me reason,
to prove me wrong!
To wash this memory clean!
Sky ran, but didn't seem to be going anywhere. The voice she heard in her processor kept talking. A few tears stung her optics.
Let the floods cross
the distance in your eyes!
Across this new divide!
Sky finally stopped, panting heavily. Running was no use. All around her, memories of Heion played. Suddenly, there were bombs falling around her, like in the Heion attack. At least she didn't hear Waterfall's voice in her processor anymore.
There was nothing in sight
but memories left abandoned.
Sky covered her helm. When she uncovered it, the scenes were burning.
There was nowhere to hide
the ashes fell like snow.
Waterfall appeared then, a mile or so away from her. Sky began running toward him, but the ground began falling away. Sky tried to transform, but failed, so she could only back away.
And the ground caved in
between where we were standing.
And your voice was all I heard
that I get what I deserve.
She could hear Waterfall's voice again. She turned and sprinted back the way she had came. At least, that's what she thought. More tears stung her optics.
So give me reason
to prove me wrong
to wash this memory clean.
Let the floods cross
the distance in your eyes!
Across this new divide!
Sky kept running, even after his voice stopped. She finally tripped, and fell down. She stood again. She looked around and saw more images.
In every loss,
in every lie,
in every truth that you'd deny.
She saw the Autobots when she told them about Heion. About Darkraid. The betrayal on Arcee's faceplate. The shock and hurt on Bulkhead's and Bumblebee's. Optimus had his mask covering his faceplate, but there had been a look of disappointment in his optics.
And each regret,
and each goodbye,
was a mistake to great to hide.
Waterfall's and their sparklings mangled frames. Everyone who had off-lined during the Heion attack. The 'Bots she had failed to save.
And your voice was all I heard
that I get what I deserve.
She could hear Waterfall's voice again.
"Shut up!" Sky screamed, tears streaming down her faceplate.
So give me reason,
to prove me wrong,
to wash this memory clean.
Let the floods cross
the distance in your eyes!
She found herself back at the chasm; Waterfall still standing on the other side.
Give me reason
to fill this hole.
Connect the space between.
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies,
across this new divide!
Sky turned around and began running again.
Across this new divide!
Sky became surrounded by flames. She couldn't run. She was trapped.
Across this new divide!
-000000- -000000-
Sky jolted on-line in her berth, the last line echoing in her processor.
Across this new divide!
Sky curled up into a ball again. "Why?" She asked no one, shaking.
There we go! If you don't know what I'm talking about, you have to read my fic about Sky. That's all I'm saying.
