Bumblebee223: Hi everyone! I am really sorry about the super long wait for the next chapter. This would be the part where I tell you all my excuse for not updating in months, but... I don't really have one so, yeah. :/ I am really sorry so please dont be mad at me please. I'm just stop talking now and get to the story. Enjoy! Disclaimer: I still don't own transformers!

"Wait! What do you mean right now?!" asked Bumblebee as he and the rest of the team followed Starcharger and Sideswipe.

"I mean that Sideswipe here is gonna fight. Now." replied Starcharger as they slowed down in front of a large metal gate covered in rust and different colored gunk and goo on different spots of it. Thru the gate you could see the arena that both looked and smelled worse then when they were up in the stands. Afight was currently in action as they all stood there.

Two large mechs about Grimlocks size covered in dust and energon circled each other. Both had wounds littered across them.

One mech, who was a dark rown andorange, made the first move by diving at he other, who was a dirty green with what used to be white. The force of the attack caused both mechs to fall to the ground and start wrestling for the upperhand. In the end, the second mech managed to pin his opponent to the ground and started punching him. The first mech started struggling and screaming in horror as his spark started to slowly get dimmer, and dimmer. Until finally, he stopped struggling and fell limp, his optics going dark.

He was dead.

A bell started to ring as the crowd roared even loader. "What a brutal fight, lady's and gentlemen. IT seems that bone breaker won this fight!
Now it's time to see who wll be going against this beast of a mech next."

As the overly enthusiastic speaker blabbed on, a team of clean up mechs' came out and started to drag the body out while bone breaker stood up,
roaring in vicouse happyness that he had survived another day in the brutal pits.

"The next poor mech to be going up against bone breaker will be... What?! Well, folks it seems that we have someone we haven't seen in a while.
Please welcome, the one, the only... SIDESWIPE!".

THe crowd was silent for a few seconds before erupting in cheering and roars. THe gate started to lift up and the team watched as Sideswipe was rudely shoved into the arena by Starcharger. The crowd only roared louder at the sight of Sideswipe. Bone breaker slowly turned around to face Sideswipe. showing the team the look of pure horror at the sight of Sideswipe.

"I can't beleive it folks, but it looks like we've finally got the second half of the twin terrors's back with us. I think that I see a team fight in the near future my friends!"

Sideswipe cast a sad and painful look back at the team, before walking further into the arena, towards the mech that he was meant to kill.

The team, having only seen Sideswipe fight Decepticons and durring training, had no idea that Sideswipe could easily kill this mech in probable less then an earth minute. But Sideswipe knew, the crowd knew, Starcharger knew, and the poor mech all knew that this was just a warm-up.

Another bell sounded and the two gladiators started circleing eachother. With watchful eyes, the team watched as Sideswipe seemed to size up his opponent.

Bone breaker, wanting his death to just be done with, charged first. Sideswipe just gracefully flipped over the larger mech, using his shoulders as a hand hold to knock Bone breaker off balance. Bone breaker stopped running and wobbled as he tried to balance himself. Sideswipe saw his opening and ran up to his back, kicking the other mech between his shoulder blades. This caused Bone breaker to lose his balance comp;etely and fall onto his stomcch. Sideswipe quickly grabbed one of his katanna's and lifted it into the air over the mechs upper back.

"I'm sorry". It was a small apolagy, but full of truth and pain.

The next thing to happen made Bumblebee grateful that Rustle wasn't there to see it. Sideswipe pulled his katanna out of the back of the now lifeless shell of a mech an started walking away. A grave expression on his face tha no one on the team had ever seen on him before. The croud started to chant his name, which didn't help the pain in Sidesipe's spark at all.

Sideswipe just kept walking toward the gate as the announcer started to talking about the fight again. The gate opened and Sideswipe came over to the team and Starcharger. Starcharge smiled and clapped his hand on sideswipe's back.

"Good fight out there kid. Just like old times!" congratulated Starcharger as he walked away. "You all know the way back to your room."

"Sideswipe, a- are you ak?" asked Strongarm taking a step towards her comrade.

"It's that other mech you should be worried about." replied Sidedwipe, refusing to meet any of their gazes. "C'mon, lets just get back to the room. ok?"

The team just nodded in responce and followed their friend thru the crowd. it wasn't long until they reached the door to the old room and they all silently piled in. Sideswipe quickly took a spot in the corner furthest from hte door and sat down, still not looking up.

Bumblebee sighed and looked at the rest of his team. Grimlock looked confused, sad, and angry all at the same time. Strongarm loked on the verge of tears from watchin he usually playful and happy team mate murder another mech against his own free will. Fix-it was looking at Sideswipe with a sad expression, while most likely looking for injurys.

But Bumblebee himself felt sad, that his friend had to do that, confused by the way everyone had reacted when Sideswipe had entered the arena,
and mostly woried. Worried about the way that Sideswipe had looked at htem all before the fight, he had looked scared, almost like a lost kid. Bumblebee was also worried about the way that Sideswipe had extinguished that mechs sprk without even flinching. Like it was just a chore that he had to do and had done a hundred times before. Had he? Bumblebee ddn't know and almost didn't want to.

"I'm sorry" said Sideswipe all of a sudden. Everyone turned to see Sideswipe looking at them all with the same face that he had when he had walked back to the group.

"About what?" Strongarm asked, genuenly congused that her friend would say that.

"About you guys having to see that. You shouldn't have even come here in the first place" replied Sideswipe.

"Sideswipe. You didn't have a choice. You had to to get your brother back." said Bumblebee taking a step towrds SIdeswipe.

"Yeah. It was that jerk Starsomethins' fault" said Grimlock. Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.

"But, Sideswipe. I think we would all like a little bit more backround to this whole stich-switch-SITUation" said Fix-it. Once again,
everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Sideswipe didn't look entirely happy about the situation.

"You could start with telling us about Sunstreaker." suggested Bumblebee. Sideswipe seemed a bit happier at the mention of his brother, so they all took that as a good sign.

"Ok. Well, Sunstreaker was...
