Mirror was jolted awake when someone picked him up. He squeaked in fear and looked at Rocketflare in fear. The femme ignored his fearful look and began to take him away from the others. He looked back desperately and watched a Radiowave gave him an encouraging smile. He whimpered a little as Rocketflare sat him down on a table. The mean mech, Chord, barely looked up before he said, "Take him to the isolation chamber. I want that particular gift of his out in the open by the next vorn. Do I make myself clear, Rocketflare?"
Rocketflare nodded and asked, "What about the other one in there at the moment? Do you want me to leave him in there?" Chord paused and said. "You might as well. He's still serving out his punishment." Rocketflare nodded and turned away. Mirror curled into himself nervously. Who were they talking about? He shuddered as they arrived to a room. Without hesitation Rocketflare opened the door and tossed him in before slamming the door shut.
Mirror wrapped his arms around his small body and whimpered. He was glancing around just as a bluish sparkling appeared in the darkness. The sparkling looked way older than Mirror though. Mirror scrambled away from him until his back hit the wall. He didn't like this sparkling one bit. He looked mean and scary. The sparkling's faceplates softened when he saw Mirrors obvious fear. "Sorry," he said in a rough voice. "I didn't mean to scare you. I was just curious about why they would dump you in here." He paused then asked. "So what did you do? And who are you? I've never seen you before."
Mirror cleared his throat and said, "I'm Mirror. I just got here though I don't know were here is. And what do you mean what did I do? I didn't do anything to them." The sparkling blinked and muttered, "You must be the new gifted sparkling they were talking about." He then crawled forward and settled himself down next to Mirror. "I hope you don't mind if a talk a lot, cause I've been in here for quite a while and it's lonely in here." Mirror shrugged.
"Great," he said cheerfully. "Well I suppose you're curious about why I'm in here. Well I'll tell you, it's because I sliced up one of the guards legs to protect one of my brothers. Boy, were they mad. But my brothers and me think it's just funny because the guard was hopping up and down. Anyway what do you think of the place so far? Do you like it? We don't we think that this place is the pits. I think that you'd get along with one of brothers well. He doesn't talk a lot like you and he pretty much keeps to himself. The next time they put us all together, I'm going to introduce you guys. I think that you'd like him."
Mirror blinked in surprise at the other sparkling's tone. He almost sounded cheerful. Mirror watched as he droned on and on. Finally he turned and asked a question that he had wanted to know the answer of since he got here. "Why are we here? What did we do?" The other sparkling blinked and responded. "We're here because they want to perform experiments on us. They want to put us in these groups called gestalts. Me and my brothers have already become a gestalt. After they bring out your gift it'll be you and Raidy and Whispy and Linkers and Bitsy's turns."
Mirror whimpered. The other seemed to notice his fear and brought him into a hug. "Hey it'll be ok. It only hurts for a little while. Then it stops and you have four new brothers." "I just want to go home," whispered Mirror. His companion looked at him and whispered, "Sometimes I do too." He turned his head away and for a moment the two sat there in complete silence until the other sparkling said, "You'll get used to this, Mirror. I promise. And I never ever ever break my promises." Mirror looked up and asked softly, "You don't?" "Nope," he said. "Whenever I make a promise I always intend to keep that promise until the day I die. And I promise you Mirror that when me and my brothers are finally free from this hell hole, I will come back for you. No matter what." Mirror looked and said, "Thanks" in a soft voice.
Mirror paused then said, "You never told me your designation." The blue sparkling smiled and said, "Oh right, I forgot to." He grinned more cheerfully and said.
"I'm Onslaught."
