Inner Demon

A few days later, Slash was outside the base, watching the stars dance with the full moon tonight. Phoenix was out hunting but also keeping an eye on Slash. Phoenix was hunting in her grey wolf form, she was hunting with a group of grey wolves. They were all hunting an elk, they had it corner against a massive stone and it grunts and hollers out in anger and fear.

Phoenix growled and showed her fangs to the elk as did the others, they snap and yip at it. Phoenix being in her wolf form made her a little bit bigger than the grey wolf should be plus having a green eye and a red eye.

The elk tires to maim one of the wolves that got close leaving its neck open to the side. Phoenix leaps and grabs hold, she throws the elk to the ground and the other wolves jump on top of it biting and ripping the flesh from the dying elk.

It gives of a loud cry of pain and dies letting the wolves and Phoenix a meal to have for the night. Phoenix growls at the males letting the female wolves to eat first, they had pups to tend to and they need full stomachs.

Phoenix sat there and watched as they ate and when they were finished the males got to eat. The pack leader glares at Phoenix but dares not to challenge her. He got his statues from Phoenix who killed their last pack leader. They also knew her in her human form.

The female wolves howl and return to their pups. When all the wolves' stomachs were full, they left the rest of the elk to Phoenix who ate it in peace. As she ate, hunters near by watched with some photographers.

They whisper to each other.

"Right there is a fine grey wolf. She is either an outsider or the dominant female. You saw how she kept the males from eating."

"She is beautiful."

"How long do you think she'll stay there?"

"A few more minutes. She has to fill her stomach."

Phoenix knew someone was watching her but paid no mind, she rather eat than scare them off. She longed for meat for days. The protein kept her body strong and her mind at ease, the blood was sweet as wine.

The photographers take pictures in the full moonlight, Phoenix enjoys the cool night. It brings memories from childhood when Megatron and her use to take long night walks. Planning and talking on how to kill Autobots. But that was Obsidian's life, her past life.

Phoenix finished eating her meal and sat down near the dead elk cleaning herself. She then looks up at the stars.

"Makes you wonder when we will be whole again."

"Shut up."

"It's simple. Return to my head and we'll join. Fully and I will be reborn."

"Yeah and I will be wiped out of existence."

"Not really. You will just be inside me as I am inside you."

"I can just kill myself."

"No! I need this body! Don't do anything stupid!"

Phoenix laughs, looks around and stretches.

"Your talking has changed."

"Heh, been with you for all these years might as well talk to you in the same way."

"You sound younger too. More spunk and punk in your voice."

"Heh, that's what happens when you're in someone younger than you."

"If someone saw me talking like this, they might think I'm crazy. After all I can only hear you and you're a pain in the ass."

"In truth, I can talk out so that others can hear me without having to use your body. They will hear my voice."

"Yeah and you'll scare them to death. 'Ah! Where is that voice coming from?' or 'It's a demon!' heh heh."

"That'll make my day any day."

Phoenix scratches her back against a rock.

"I still can't see how you were killed by a couple of Autobots and Decepticons. I mean come on."

"They used the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Its power is the one thing, the only thing that can stand in my way."

"So much for being a 'Demi-God'. Heh heh heh."

That shut him up, Phoenix howls at the moon. Her howl was like a song, many would swear they could hear a song. She soon walks away, back to her home. When she reached home she curled up in a ball and laid her head on her paws. Slash was still down there looking up at the stars.

"Good night Slash."

Phoenix drifts off to sleep as did Unicron. And together they dream, they share thoughts, they share their dreams, they share everything.

Tonight Unicron was dreaming...

"Look! It's Unicron!"

"Get to the ships! Get to the ships! It's our only chance!"

Unicron starts to eat the metal planet and all it's inhabitants. Only a few managed to escape Unicron's grasp. After the planet was gone, Unicron was energized and continued looking for more planets.

Phoenix hates it when he dreams, for his dreams are meaningless to her, she talks to him...

"Don't you ever stop eating?"

"Huh? Oh, you saw that?"

"Duh, we share the same body idiot."

"Well next time don't watch."

Phoenix giggles to herself, she knew that was impossible. She perked her one ear, she heard a twig snap.

"Gotta wake up now."

Phoenix opens her eyes a little bit to see no one there, she smells the air and looked around. Someone was here, they must have left. She stood up and walked to the entrance, footprints marked the soil.

"A Mut Hunt was here."

Unicron laughs.

"Well they're lucky we didn't wake up sooner."

"I know, but still what was it doing here?"

Phoenix looks back at the cave, nothing was different. A few bones, sleeping bags, food supplies and other things were hidden from sight giving the cave a clean look.

"Something's not right."

"Why don't we ask Starscream."

Phoenix closed her eyes and saw Starscream looking at her with fear.

"Hello Starscream. You know who that was don't you?"

"Yes."

"Do tell." Said Unircron with a laugh.

"He was checking on you. Deployed by Megatron himself."

"They all know I died, she died. I killed those at the base, no one saw me."

"True, but the tracer under you skin- -"

"I removed it four years ago."

"Hmm... maybe they were checking to see if this was a good lookout point."

"Next time we talk you better have a good excuse."

Phoenix opens her eyes and looked back outside, it was still dark and very late. Slash was already gone, Phoenix could see that she was sleeping with Frenzy, he was laying on top of her.

"Frenzy, I miss him."

"He even thinks you're dead. They all do."

"I know, but in time I must show myself to them. It gets quite lonely with no one to talk to."

"You have me."

"That's not my point. I want to talk to someone that has their own body and can talk to me face to face and not in my head!"

"Good point. Heh heh."

"Let's go back to sleep."

"Let's. Being with you seems to make me tired. A strange feeling really, I never slept before till I was implanted in you."

Phoenix lies back down and slowly closed her eyes.

"Just go to sleep. Complain in the morning."

So they slept, Unicron dreamed that dream again. He laughs and enjoys it, Phoenix just watched trying to figure out who Unicron really is. She and he are now good friends after all, they need each other in order to survive. If he was removed from Phoenix she would die and Unicron would die too unless he is immediately implanted back into someone or his head.
