Chapter 7 Old Flame.

The next day the team was cleaning up the base after Arachnid had left webs everywhere and Ratchet had fixed the damage the spider femme had done to both Starscream and Knock Out and luckily both transformers were going to be fine and had only suffered minor damage.

And the rest of the team had gotten back from Cybertron and brought Shockwave's body which Knock Out and Ratchet did an autopsy on and found that he had indeed been killed by Arachnid the same way she killed Breakdown. Because his body was in pieces and had webs on it.

And the team was currently trying to decide what to do if Arachnid came back as well as what to do about the DJD.

Except for Starscream and Flame Shadow who had gone out for a flight. The two seekers needed a break after fighting Arachnid the night before. So they flew around in their jet modes for awhile then landed in a sunflower field.

"This planet sure is beautiful." Said Flame Shadow gazing at the golden flowers that could be seen for miles.

"I actually didn't like this planet for a long time after the war but I have to admit it has it's charms." Starscream told her. "But I went through some bad stuff the first time I was here so it could just be a matter of prospective."

Then the two of them saw some deer running a male and a female apparently the two were mates and the two seekers watched them play for several minutes but the deer two happy lovers brought back some memories for Flame Shadow.

(Flashback begins.)

Flame Shadow and Glitch were in an abandoned home they'd found. This was during war times so the streets were unsafe specially for outliers because both sides were looking for recruits and if the Decepticons found them they would force them on their side.

And outliers having special powers would make them more valuable as warriors and Shockwave was known to experiment on outliers to find out how their powers worked and how they could be improved. So if you were an outlier on the Decepticon side you would die in combat or on a lab table ether way was a death sentence. So capture was not an option.

Flame Shadow and Glitch were hiding in the old house they found and were safe at the moment so they were just relaxing and singing together. But unfortunately the music they were playing was a bit to loud and it got the attention of some Decepticons outside.

And Glitch and Flame Shadow heard them coming and turned off the music but to late they had heard them and were at the door banging to get in.

"No what do we do we're not fighters and we'll never be able to out run them." Cried Flame Shadow who was frightened and on the verge of tears.

"Flame Shadow you need to go invisible and get out of her I'll hold them off just go hide and no matter what happens don't come back for me I want you to promise me that." Glitch said to her.

"OK." she agreed reluctantly then obeyed and turned inviable then made her escape not wanting to go against glitch's last request of her. Right before leaving through the window she saw Dreadwing and Sky Quake bust in through the door.

Glitch put up a good fight but was overpowered and taken away in the end and that was the last time Flame Shadow saw him.

She had been determined to find him and rescue him from the Decepticons and had gotten combat training and had her arm cannon modified into her flamethrower. Anything that might help save Glitch.

And at one point she had gotten inside a Decepticon base and thought she was going to find him at last but it didn't turn out that way. Instead she found a mech who told her Glitch no longer existed and had been lost to the DJD and she knew it meant he had been killed. And she'd never see him again.

(Flashback ends.)

Flame Shadow snapped back to the present and noticed Starscream wasn't standing next to her anymore and got worried and ran off to look for him.

"Starscream!" "Where are you please answer me!" She shouted as she continued to call his name.

"What is it what's happened?" Said Starscream who suddenly reappeared behind her.

"I was worried when you suddenly disappeared." Flame Shadow explained. "Where were you?"

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you I got you something." Starscream answered her. Then handed her some sunflowers he picked for her.

"Thank you their lovely." Flame Shadow told him.

"Your welcome." He replied.

Just then their com-links went off and they both answered. It was Bumblebee calling them back to base. So they hurried back.

After they got there they asked what was going on.

"We found Arachnid's body looks like the DJD got to her." Ratchet explained. "We can tell from the body she was tortured to death."

"Looks like everyone of them took a turn with her." Added Megatron who was also there. "Not even she deserved this." He said looking at the state of the spider femme's frame or at least what remained of it.

"Oh scrap if the DJD killed her that means their somewhere on Earth." Starscream said sounding worried.

"We need to be careful their nothing to mess with." Flame Shadow told them. Secretly worried about her friends and not wanting any of them to end up like Glitch.

"Don't worry we'll be ready to deal with them and we'll be extra careful." Bumblebee explained.

"But we have a more pressing matter to deal with now." Said Optimus Prime who had just walked in with Knock Out who had a worried expression on his face and looked like he was going to be sick.

"We just got a transmission from Override and she told us Velocitron's sun is finally about to give out and is going to burn up everything on the planet when it does." Knock Out explained and looked like he might cry.

"Of course your from Velocitron so a lot of your friends and family are there." Starscream pointed out realizing why Knock Out was so upset. "You must be worried sick about all of them that's your home."

"No this is my home now with the Autobots but I'm worried about my friends and family on Velocitron." Knock Out told them.

"We are going to help them with the evacuation and all of them will be welcome on Cybertron." Optimus explained. "As Autobots we will not turn our backs on those in need."

"Thank you." Said Knock Out.

"Hey your one of us we're gonna do everything we can to help you save your home colony." Arcee told him.

Knock Out was so touched he was speechless. He was glad to be part of a team who was willing to help not just him but everyone on the speed planet as well.

"What are we standing around here for we have a planet's worth of bots to save." Said Sideswipe.

And with that they all went to get ready to help the people of Velocitron evacuate to Cybertron.

To Be Continued.

"Sorry it took so long to update a lot's going on in RL." "Now you know a little about Flame Shadow's back story." "The next chapter will be the evaluation on Velocitron and I'll try to have it up soon." "Please let me know if I missed any spelling errors."
