Why hello! XD

Before you ask... I know its short! It's just a little something I wrote in an hour whilst being bored in my free lesson! Well almost an hour... minus all the time I took off reading other peoples stuff and doing Project : Car Sketch... Long story...

This scene takes place straight after Napalm helps Flash escape... SO GO READ IT! XD Chapter 3 in Flash's lot...

DISCLAIMER : I still don't own Transformers... But Napalms my fanbot! XD Copyrights got nothin on me! XD


"What happened in here?!"

The only shout Napalm heard before he short circuited himself. He had to make it look like it wasn't done on purpose, and damaging himself was the only way he knew. As soon as the wire was pulled, he fell limp on the ground, just as a group of Decepticons barged through the door. The next thing he remembered after the long and gruelling forced recharge was bright lights...

He awoke in the Decepticon repair bay, the lights above him on full beam. His systems ached... what had he done? He had let Flash escape! He was in for it now.

"Ah so you're finally awake"

Napalm turned his head. Sitting beside him was his leader Megatron. He knew what was coming next... and he couldn't even prepare for it. He tried to move, only to find himself strapped down to the berth. The shackles were from his own room... his torture chamber...

"You better start explaining Napalm" Megatron sounded impaitent. He tapped his foot on the floor in anger.

"I-I don't know sir... I was taking him to the torture room when"

"Don't waste my time with your lies! You let him escape! You also let the other prisoners escape!"

Napalm was speechless. He wasn't meant to know about that... Megatron scowled and stood up, towering over the pinned navy blue Decepticon.

"You're a traitor" he hissed. Napalm shook his head rapidly.

"It was an accident sir! I-I had alot on my mind!" stuttered Napalm in his defence. A glint of light from Megatrons' side shifted his vision, as his blade came into veiw. It glowed deeply with anticipation.

"You know, I could extinguish your spark, but I'm feeling generous. I'll give you another chance. But if you fail me again Napalm... well, lets just say your fate will be worse than that little runaway."

He... he had sent some Decepticons after Flash?! That wasn't part of the plan! His plan was to blow the wall, let Flash escape, then tell Megatron that the room had been rigged with explosives! Why was it always his plans that didn't work.

Megatron released him from the shackles. But as Napalm attempted to sit up and leave, he was thrown into the wall opposite him. Megatron walked over to him slowly, stooping down and grab his throat. Napalm panicked and held his arms up in a petty defence. Megatron threw his arms aside and latched onto his neck, hoisting him up the wall. His free hand held his blade. It shone brightly

"You didn't think I would let you go without a punishment did you?" smiled Megatron. He held the blade above his head

"No... No sir please!" pleaded Napalm as the blade came down.

Cyclonus and Demolisher were chatting happily as they plodded down the halls, when suddenly a loud scream echoed from the medbay. Cyclonus smiled.

"Looks like Napalms woken up" he cackled as they kept moving

"Yeah! I wonder if Megatrons' finished having fun yet! Or maybe he'll let us join in!" added Demolisher. The screams died down and they both shrugged

"I'm not even sure Napalms a mech now!" they both laughed as they kept moving.

Napalm slumped in the corner, his body shaking in pain and his hand over his right eye. Megatron put his sword away

"Maybe next time you'll think before you betray me" he hissed as he exited the room. Napalm stood up, only to fall back down again. He tried again, weakly limping to the door. This wasn't the first time he had been hurt my Megatron, but this sure did feel like the worst. Heading down the halls, he took a look at himself in a shiny piece of metal. Slowly he removed his hand from his optic. His blood red optic was just functioning, but he couldn't see how severe it was because of the energon pouring from the wounds. He sighed

"That's gonna scar..."

Days passed and his prediction was true. His optics stood out in their blood red form as it was, but now a large scar made them stand out even more. The day he finally decided to emerge from his quarters, everyone was staring at him. The dents and scratches on his bodywork never bothered any of the Decepticons, but now everyone seemed to be gasping in shock, all because of the large dark grey slash over his eye. As he wandered down the hallway, he passed Skartplug. The Decepticon was never battle material, but he always seemed to please Megatron with his handywork. His usual smile when he saw Napalm suddenly vanished as he saw the new piece of damage on his face. Napalm looked away in an attempt to hide it.

"What happened to you?"

"Nothing..."

Man this was embarrising. How bad would it sound if he replied 'Megatron did it to punish me for letting Flash escape'? Skartplug sighed and smiled

"Well anyway... I made you some more toys... if you wanna pop by my quarters later to pick them up I'm in there practically all day. Oh and erm... I fixed your stun probe" he added with a tap on Napalms shoulder. He kept moving the direction he had been walking before stopping after a few steps and turning around

"Oh and Napalm" Napalm wizzed round

"I like the scar. It was just a lil unexpected to see thats all... You look alot more menacing with it"

That was all he needed. His friend, his only friend, telling him he looked great even with this new burdan. He didn't know what it was, but thanks to those few words he had the courage to head straight for the main conference room, where most of the Decepticons hung out when they had no orders or duties to be performing. He usually never ventured out of his torture chamber. The sounds of Auto-Bots screaming in pain was what helped him sleep at night. Unfortunatly... he had allowed their only prisoners to escape along with Flash...

The doors opened and the room immeadiatly went silent. He stopped, optics staring at him from all around the room. His own optics narrowed.

"What you all gaukin at? You all look like I've just stepped in with an Auto-Bot insignia on"

Cyclonus's laugher could be heard from the other side of the room "Nice scar Napalm! Megatron leave that behind as a gift did he?"

"Shut it before I give you a bigger scar on your aft" muttared Napalm. This was one of the main reasons he never came out. Because when he did... nothing ended pretty. And it was usualy his aft getting the kicks...

"Napalm, Quickstrike, Skartplug, Demolisher and Cyclonus. My office. Now" suddenly boomed Megatron down each of their intercoms. Napalm froze. Skartplugs' words might've given him the courage to come in here... but to face the bot that did this in the firstplace... Cyclonus and Demolisher nudged past him, snapping him out of his temporary shut down procedure. He turned and followed them, gulping quietly.

Skartplug and Quickstrike were already waiting for them. Napalm was the last in. He stood at the back in the corner alone, hoping Megatrons' gaze wouldn't come over him. He explained the mission to them, his optics shifting from one to the other

"Does everyone understand the mission?" everone nodded. As they turned to leave however, a familer cold voice flew over his shoulder

"Not you Napalm. I wish to speak to you" he said. Napalm stopped and turned. Megatron strolled past him for a breif moment as he locked the door. A hand suddenly connected with his throat, thrusting Napalm in the air

"I just wanted to say... you better not fail this mission. Otherwise, you won't be leaving with just a scar. Infact, You won't be leaving at all" he said. His icey words trickled down Napalms spine

"Do we have an accord?"

"Y-yes S-sir..."

"Good" The pressure on his neck suddenly dissappeared. Megatron unlocked the door and helped him up.

"I mean it." he said before pushing him out of his office. Napalm sighed, mumbling something to himself as he wandered back to his own room to gear up...

"Fine then... I'll show you what I can do Megatron..."
