Shock POV

When I arrived at the coordinates Megatron was already there with Hope. I slowly and cautiously approached the two.

"Well I was expecting Optimas to come with you?"

I didn't answer and just glared at them.

"Never the matter why don't we start. Hope your orders are… kill Shock."

I saw her nod and get into her fighting stance with a sword I her hand.

'Hope please if you can hear me I know you can fight this. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you but you have broken free before I know you can do it again.'

I didn't get a response just her rush at me. I was going to have to fight I didn't have a choice. I dogged the swipe of her sword. Bringing mine out readying myself. She quickly recovered and swung her sword back I blocked it with mine pushing her away remembering what happened last time. Exactly as I thought she didn't have time to push her energy into the weapon. I could feel my energy reaching for her wanting to connect but I held it back. I knew if we did now it would be much worse.

The fight continues on like that attacks and dogging between us. My neckless was becoming hot wanting to be removed. But I refused to, I didn't want to hurt her. An idea came into my head.

The bracelet. Maybe I can remove it and end all this.

So that's what I started to go for. With every attack she made I got close to the bracelet. Every chance I got I pushed my energy into it trying to overload it or something. Finally, I was able to grab her arm that had the bracelet on it. I began pushing as much energy as I could into it.

"SHOCK!"

I heard Hide call me and I turned to a hill and saw the bots there. The next thing I knew was a sharp pain in my stomach looking down I saw Hope had driven her sword into me. Just as I looked at her the bracelet finally Brock from the energy flow. I saw her bling a few times before horror and guilt filled her eyes. Then I fell. I heard Hide calling me but didn't do anything. Hope was next to me crying holding my hand.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Shock. What have I done?"

I reached my hand up holding her cheek.

"Its ok..it wasn't you…I was Megatron."

I saw Ratchets holoform appear next to us. And saw Hope be moved away from me.

"Shock I need you to stay awake ok?"

I looked over to see her in Sides servos crying into his chest plate. I could see darkness on the edge on my vision.

"Sides, Sunny."

The two looked at me. I was getting really tired.

"Bring her home."

I heard them calling my name as I let my world fade.

Hope POV

What have I done. I hurt the one person who had been there for me most of my life. Why? Why did this happen? Why was I so weak? I rode with Sides back to base. The whole ride I sat in his holoforms lap and never spoke. When we got to base he took me to med bay to wait for Ratchet to finish with Shock. Everyone stood in silence and I sat on a berth hugging my knees.

An hour later Ratchet came out of the room Shock was in. everyone looked at him waiting anxiously for an update.

"He will be fine he just needs rest. I'm expecting him to wake up tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded and turned to me and I just hugged my legs tighter. Ratchet came over and scanned me.

"You seem fine except for a few scratched and bruises."

He moved to pick me up and I just scooted back her looked hurt by my action. Everyone behind him looked concerned.

"Don't… I…I don't want to hurt anyone else."

Optimas walked over and kneeled down next to the berth.

"Sweetspark what has happened is not your fault."

"Yes, is it I knew something was off about Seth but I ignored it. I should have fought harder. If I had I would have almost killed Shock."

I put my face into my arm that was resting on my legs that were once again pulled up to my chest. I felt myself being picked up before I could protest and held to something warm. Looking up I was Optimas was holding me to his chest. I couldn't stop myself again I broke down. And he held me then a work passes my lips that I never thought I would ever say. But once I did it felt…right. And I knew Optimas agreed.

"Dad."

And I just cling to him more and cried until I fell asleep in his servos.
