Shadows of Darkness
I heard Megatron sigh or well the best he could. "Shadow... I'm putting you on a recon mission . Since Barricade was nearly caught the last time he's banned from performing recon missions for now" Megatron laid out the details as we walked into the Mission control room. I saw Starscream's face fall as he heard the last words "Do not fail me again Shadowfire" I repressed a shudder and bowed to Megatron and took my leave.
/Don't worry all you have to do is watch the boy you don't have to engage them. Only if they are engage you/ I heard Starscream send over the bond along with some courage. I remembered the last time I failed Megatron, the punishment was scary, no Energon for 50 Cycles or 50 human days.
Lets just say by the end of it I was writhing in pain from the lack of energon. Starscream gave me a bit of his each time he refuelled but it didn't help much.
I shuddered as I transformed to my Dodge Dakota disguise simultaneously turning on my holoform. My Dodge Dakota was black and it was a 2007 version. I drove until I got to my destination and I parked. I was at Princeton University apparently what the fleshies call a Ivy league university that only the 'rich and super smart' kids go to.
I forced my holoforms eyes to look more greenish not so much red which would immediately tipped the kid and his friends off that I am a Decepticon which I don't want to do.
I went into the coffee shop and ordered. I sat at a window seat and stared at the Chevy Camero remembering the spark break. Yes I fell in love with an Autobot but that was before he was a Autobot. From what I can tell he doesn't remember the times when he was a sparkling with me which was odd. We were best of friends as the humans may say. I fell in love with him but when he left, I was only about 2 cycles younger then him.
My hands clenched for a minute as I tried to keep a optic and sensors on the boys. They were planning a party apparently for some friend of theirs. I wish I could murder the bug but I secretly knew I couldn't because in some weird twisted way I still love him even though I love Starscream.
I let out tears that I've been holding back and I saw Bumblebee walk over to my table. "Hey you okay?" He asked and I shook my head yes and he glared at me I must have let my Decepticon eye colour through on accident. "Why are you here? You cannot kill my boy." He said threateningly and I let out a laugh and replied "If I wanted to kill him I would have done it by now but I haven't done and why am I here is Top Secret"
My sensors scanned the boy and I guffawed at the findings of what I read of the boy. Apparently he is a prime now which is impossible for a human to be a prime! Which also he means he is also Megatron's brother in some weird way.
"Does your pet know he's Megatron's brother?" I ask the mech and he shook his head no. I smirked and got up after I was done with my coffee.
/Lord Megatron.../ I commed my leader and it took him a minute acknowledge the com.
/What Shadowfire/ He replied and I smiled a little bit /Looks like you have another brother my lord/ Lets just say what I got from com link he was pissed wait let me change that. Megatron. was. mad.
/How?/ He demanded and I replied /He is a human prime My Lord/ I had to get my cell phone away from my ear because Megatron let out a angry roar and I heard a scream and a crash in the background. It must be Starscream because he sent fear over the bond and I rolled my holograms eyes.
/Come back to base now Shadowfire/ Megatron ended the conversation with a click and I sighed while I walked to my alt form. I felt Bumblebees optics watch me as I drove away. As time went by I began to worry that I had said the wrong thing.
I transformed and walked into the throne room and bowed to Lord Megatron on his throne. "Lord Megatron I came here as you ordered" I said respectfully not like Starscream who likes to mock him in front of the Decepticons (which is pretty stupid).
I stayed in the bowed position listening as Megatron moved off the throne. He stopped by my side and demanded I get up which I obeyed immediately keeping my optics on the floor. "Let me look at your pretty faceplate Shadowfire" Megatron demanded and when I did he grabbed my chin a little roughly.
He forced me to look into his optics. He looked into mine and sighed "You look like your female creator but its a shame I gotta do this" He made his one of his claws sharper and I tried to not struggle as his claw came closer to my faceplate. What I saw in his optics was madness. His insanity. The demons.
He started to cut my faceplate deeper and I let out a scream of pain. He dug into my faceplate and I started to struggle to get away from him but he held me still. Even if I did get out of his grasp he would just jumped on top of me since he is scarily fast which shouldn't be surprising since he was fighting before I was sparked.
He started at the edge of my optic and he drags his claw to edge of my mouth I know it would leave a jagged scar. "Lord Megatron what did I do to deserve this?" I asked when he was done and he just smirked then replied "Its a punishment. Dismissed".
I thought about it as I went to the med bay to get it fixed along and to stop the energon flow. I think I have found why almost all femmes went to the Autobots. Even the ones that joined the Decepticons they eventually left. I guess that's why most of the Autobots are shocked to see me on the battlefield fighting for the Decepticons.
Hook welded the wound shut and told me to take it easy then he let me go. I snorted at the thought of a Decepticon taking it easy. I walked to my quarters and sat down next to Starscream, He saw the scar I just happened to acquire from our glorious leader.
I used sarcasm for the first time that mentioned Megatron in it and it felt good to use it. "Screamer. Megatron is going insane" I told Starscream and explained what I saw in his optics. Starscream kissed my helm and held me in his strong arms.
Megatron came bursting in like a pissed off bull! He took Starscream and walked away with him pleading with Megatron to let him go because Megatron grabbed his wings. I wish I could take down Megatron but only a fool would even attempt it except Optimus but then he's not a fool he's just stupid. My bond was blocked on Starscreams side knowing how the being on the bad side of Megatron is like.
I heard Starscreams screams and I tried to drown it out by blocking everything. It doesn't work because I still hear the screams of pain.
My resolve was beginning to falter about Megatron being insane.
I felt a couple of booms of weaponry, I saw a flash of red and blue that ran past my door. I fought the urge to go and investigate but I willed myself to lay down on my berth.
Ironhide walked past my door but he back stepped to look in my quarters and thats when I had a full view of an energon cannon. I ignored him even though his cannons are glowing meaning that they were prepared to fire. "Prepare to go to the pit you piece of shit" I heard Ironhide growl but he stopped when Mirage saw me in such a vulnerable state and told Ironhide to stand down.
"You can take her prisoner and you can interrogate her for precious information" Mirage told him and he put stasis cuffs on my arms. I was soon met with darkness which I welcomed.
Starscreams P.O.V
I was dragged from my sparkmate to the throne room by Megatron. I struggled to get away from him but I couldn't let him free because he gripped my left wing tightly leaving a sizeable crushed look.
My femme was hurting and I couldn't get to her to calm her. Megatron threw me to the ground roughly and started to kick me. 'Here comes another attempted offlining by Megatron' I thought as he kept punching and kicking me.
I tried to get away from him but he grabbed my wings and continued his attempt to rip them off my back. I started to scream bloody murder. I probably fritzed out some bots audio sensors but who cares all I know is that I'm getting my wings ripped off.
Megatron suddenly stops once he felt the explosions. I stop screaming drawing Megatron's attention who growled and threw me back first into a wall. Hard. I nearly blacked out from the pain but I shakily raised my blaster to shoot the bug named Bumblebee. Even through all the abuse I have had from Megatron in the two millennia I still wanted to protect him but to a higher degree I also wanted to kill him. I think almost all the Decepticons do.
I started to think 'shoot the bug or shoot Megatron'. I decided on the bug and just when I was about to shoot him the ever noble Optimus Prime came storming in to kill Megatron. I got up shakily and sunk into the shadows watching my Lord take on Optimus.
Even though my Seeker programming was telling me to fight I ignored it. You see on Cybertron before the War Seekers were to protect the High Protector of the Allspark along with the Prime if needed. I watched the fight no one ever noticed me. A lot of Cons and Bots rue the day the war started even me because being a bodyguard got you certain privileges and among them was a nice apartment among the noble. I remembered watching on the top floor the bots moving to and fro their destinations.
The memories began to surge but I shook my helm to get rid of the surfacing memories.
