AutoBot base: Before the Incident

BumbleBee looked over the prone form of Sari, who was currently asleep. It could be called recharge, since it was what Cybertronains did, but then she was not fully Cybertronain. Ratchet was hovering over her, his internal scanner active and slowing going over her body.

It was a few weeks after Christmas the fight with SoundWave, and the AutoBots stint as brainwashed Decepticons. The sheer thought that he had even been called that made BumbleBee shiver, and glad that Sari had managed to convince some of the more neutral of Detroit's earth-born Transformers to lend a hand and knock them out of it, or else it would have been for real and not just SoundWave spouting off. But that was over with, and now BumbleBee was worried about her instead.

Not long after the fight, Sari had started complaining about random pains and blank moments in her memory, along with a few other symptoms. After ruling out anything affecting her Organic self, the only viable thing left to check was her Cybertronain half, which Ratchet attended to with his normal mutterings. BumbleBee as well as the others had waited for what felt forever, until Ratchet had exited the Medbay and announced her diagnose to them and Professor Sumdac.

Some time during SoundWaves attack, Sari's Cybertronain half had somehow been infected wirelessly by the SoundWave toys with some sort of weak Virus, and it was messing with some of her Techno-Organic Systems. It was locking off her memory at some points, and altering the settings on her Cybernetic limbs which caused the pain and blank moments as they went beyond their recommend limits.

Of course, they had panicked at first, before Ratchet knocked some sense into them all. The infection had not been deliberate, nor was the Virus complex or strong enough to cause any serious harm to the girl. It was simply a malignant jumble of random data, that was interfering with her bodies normal operations and had been drifting around the Network that SoundWaves miniature army had created to communicate. Sari would simply have to go offline for a bit, and let Ratchet examine her to find where the Virus was hiding in her systems. He would then administer a simple yet strong Anti-virus to it and the Virus itself would be gone and Sari would be cured.

That had been four days ago.

Ratchet was still trying to find the Virus, and even he was starting to get worried. Whenever he cornered the blasted thing in a Subsystem, it would jump to another and escape the Anti-virus before he could finish applying it. When ever he locked down the surrounding systems and delete it with the Anti-virus, it would simply appear moments later in a completely different system as if nothing had happened, and would continue with its efforts to wreak havoc on the young Techno-Organics systems.

Day after day, Ratchet had tried to kill the seemingly harmless Virus, while day after day the other other AutoBots and one stressed father grew more and more worried. Ratchet was starting to think his first diagnosis had been wrong, and this Virus was far more then it seemed. It acted almost like it had a mind of it's own, leading the medic on a wild chase through Sari's body and systems, changing its course of actions each time he had thought he had figured it out. But it was its latest actions that worried him the most.

The Virus had started to act even more intelligent, and even more hostile. He had managed to corner it in a minor Subsytem, every other systems was locked down and the Virus had no where to run and no where to almost magically respawn anymore. This was finally it, the Virus would be deleted and this blasted Cyber-chase through one young Hybrid's body would be finished with nothing more then sour memories. And then it happened.

The Virus Begin racing through Sari's body, somehow opening the locked systems and transferring itself faster then ever. Each time it transferred, it would leave behind a copy, something that the Virus had never done before. By the time Ratchet had managed to destroy the copies and catch up to the Virus, he realized its plan. The Virus was now poised to Attack Sari's brain, the Cybertronain parts of it at least. Never before had it gone for such a dangerous and obvious attack, and yet Ratchet could not help but vent quietly in fear, and Speak as if the Virus was truly a intelligent being.

"No, you wouldn't. If she goes offline so do you, so what do you expect to win with this?"

The Medic backed away, setting down his tools. But as he did so, the indicator for the Virus on his Scanner backed away as well. The Threat was blatant yet effective. The Virus was threating to attack Sari where she was most vulnerable if the Medic continued his actions, but if he left the Virus alone it would leave Sari's Brain/Processor alone as well.

Authors Notes: That was a bit of hard work but this first Chapter is done.

This fic is also dedicated to EmeraldBeacon, who's Art work of Sari inspired me. You can find his work on . Remember, good Reviews fuel the forge of creation, and help make more chapters, so R&R! And to all you other Writers out there, help with the Dark!Sari revolution! Join me in bringing Dark!Sari to and beyond, and show the world just how Evil our favorite hybrid can be! That and its kinda lonely, being the only one that is really into the concept of Dark!Sari.
