Blackfire was a Decepticon who had been made to do many things as a 3rd ranked Decepticon. He had done things for Commander Starscream he'd rather not talk about, and had caused the demise of a green planet. But this, this was by far the most unusual and dirtiest thing he'd ever had to do.

"Just keep walking Blackie." The human with the shock tazor told him gently. "That's right, we're just your prisoners. Keep walking buddy." For fear of the tazor and the girl who promised an eminent death he did as he was told. The human had forced him aboard 2 warships so far, and promised him a painful demise if he tried something dumb. There were 3 ships in the new Decepticon project, and rumor had it that one of the ships had caught those Autobot goodie two shoe scum. That made him want to leap for joy, if a Decepticon wanted to leap for joy. No, no of course not. This was the 3rd and final ship, and Blackfire was getting antsy. The human with the weapons was looking a little to cozy with the tazor for comfort, and Blackfire quickened his pace. "Slow." She commanded. "Your in charge here, why would a prisoner transporter be running? We're two little humans, remember?" Blackfire slowed down at did what he was told. Prison holds were on the lowest deck, and the highly dangerous prisoners ( the Autobots) were held on the floor below that one. Blackfire wasn't sure how that worked, but he knew most prisoners on the deck below the lowest deck never came back up. Blackfire walked on. He walked down to the prison level, and with a sense of dread headed for the lower floor. All Decepticons knew where the prison hold was, but you had to be 3rd rank or above to know where the other hold was. Blackfire cursed his luck. If anyone else had been caught, those humans would have no way to locate their friends, but they had caught him. Blackfire cursed his luck again.

"OK, here we go. Now, don't try any funny business." The other human, the one with the all powerful key, whispered. Blackfire walked on. The door to the lower deck had been camouflaged by an invisibility beam. Also a high security barrier. This door was specially designed so that not just anyone could enter, it was programmed to repel any party without a Decepticon in its mist. Blackfire was a Decepticon, so the door opened and the three entered. This holding cell was different from the normal one. Black covered the walls, shadows creeped everywhere, screams echoed against the walls, and Blackfire was glad to watch the humans cringe. "Walk." The one with red hair ordered. Blackfire complied. Even he was weirded out by everything, but he wouldn't let the humans know. He watched the humans stare at the prisoners with horror and shock covering their features. Many a prisoner was minus a limb or organ, and almost all were laying on the ground moaning in pain. He heard the two gasp in shock as they passed a bot hanging on the wall headless.

What happened down here, stayed down here.

"OK, Blackie, find our friends." The human with the tazor decided. He walked forward. Blackfire had been to this hold once before. It was when he had first joined the 3rd rank, almost like an initiation. It wasn't a pretty day. Blackfire crossed over to the farthest wall. A list of the hold's occupants stretched out before him:

Name: Cell

Soundscream 1B

Hammerwave C3

Thomas Jett L5

Brightlight G7

Gini Langlight 4

Optimus Prime The Black Death

Ratchet The Black Death

Bumblebee The Black Death

Bulkhead The Black Death

Prowl The Black Death

Red Light K4

Speed Lightning M-16

Anamel Spear Charlie 5

"Your friends are in The Black Death room." Blackfire whispered horrified.

"So? Let's go get them!" The girl with the tazor demanded eagerly.

"The Black Death is a room where bots are held for termination. You're friends...they might be already gone."

"No!" Sari whispered screamed.

"I am afraid so."

"If you're lieing to me." The human with pink hair warned.

"What is the use of lieing?" Blackfire whispered. The Death Room was a place no bot wanted ever be, and the 'cons who worked in The Death Room...they were never the same. "Human, must we go there?" He asked praying for her to say no. The Death Room was a place of horror, and death, and pure utter blackness.

"Get moving." Tazor girl ordered. Blackfire wanted to cower, but he was a Decepticon and they never quaked because of an enemy.

He walked.

The Black Death was a cell covered in cement and hidden from sigh. One door led both in and out, there was no window or access to light except one light bulb that turned on when the Death Bringer entered, and then turned off when the Death Bringer left. The Death Bringer, the Spark Snuffer, the Soul Taker. It was a horrible place. Blackfire reached out his hand, glad no 'con ever came down to this hold except to maim and pain so no one would see what he was about to do.

Set Autobots free.

The Ultimate Treason.

Blackfire opened the door. The little light bulb clicked on, but the humans wished it hadn't. The Autobots were lying on the floor motionless, energon spilled everywhere. Gashs cut across the Autobots bodies, pain in each bot's face.

"Bumblebee!" Sari cried. "Put me down! Put me down!" She ordered, and Blackfire lowered the two to the ground. Tazor girl kept closer to him, finger on the button.

"Oh scrap." He head Tazor Girl mutter horrified. This was disconcerting even to Blackfire who quickly looked away. Sari had run over to Bumblebee and started to cry. Her tears started just as quickly as they had stopped. Almost in a dream like state, the Decepticon and Tazor girl watched as Sari pulled out the All Spark Key. Blackfire stiffened.

"Don't go getting ideas." The girl below him warned, the pain of the tazor a simple reminder. The two watched Sari climb up on her friend and insert her key. A light enveloped the room, and then Bumblebee was fine.

"Sari? What are you doing here?" The bot asked confused, raising himself up.

"Bee!" Sari screamed happily and with a huge smile raced to heal the other four. Everyone got up slowly, and after seeing Blackfire went into a fighting stance.

"Hold it, Hold it!" He tried to say, but was quickly knocked over.

"Hey, Prowl, stop!" His Tazor girl called, and the bot on top of him stood up silently. "I've got him under control." She smiled, waving the tazor's button with a smile.

"That looks quite familiar. I believe I had one in my room." Prowl mused. Tazor girl smiled sheepishly looking at her toes.

"Did you have an AK-47 too?" The red head asked eagerly.

"I believe I did."

"Miko! You can't just take Prowl's weapons!" Sari exclaimed.

"Well sorry! Did you want to never see these guys again or what?" Miko huffed exasperated.

"But my weapons were much larger that the one in your hand, Autobot sized. How did you shrink them?"

"Miko! You better not have touched my shrink ray!" The oldest bot exclaimed. "I mean that!"

"It's like you bots would have rather stayed down here than get out!" Miko huffed.

"Miko!"

"Sorry." Miko sighed, rolling her eyes.

"Not to be rude." Blackfire began, looking at the tazor carefully. "But we might want to get out of here. Other Decepticons might come down at any minute."

"Quite right. Autobots, let's roll." Optimus's voice decided.

"Yes Boss bot." Everyone chorused, and Blackfire lead the way out. They passed all the cells quietly, and went back up to the normal prisoner hold.

"That place gave me the heebee jeebees." Bumblebee shuddered.

"I'm getting to old for this." Ratchet sighed. Blackfire led the way up, but stopped short.

"Halt, name, rank, and where are you transporting these prisoners to?" Another Decepticon barked. Blackfire stood up straight, standing at attention.

"Blackfire Jettkin, 3rd rank, sir. I am transporting these prisoners to Kronos. He wants to collect samples." Blackfire quickly replied. Kronos was considered a crazy scientist on board this ship, and many Decepticons simply shied away from him or even when his name was mentioned. Hopefully it did the trick this time.

"Hm, as you were." The 'con finally said and started walking past then pulled up short. "Hang on, Jettkin was it?"

"Yes sir."

"Why are the Autobots OUT OF THE DEATH ROOM!"

"Run!" Tazor girl exclaimed. The Autobots quickly sprang to action, and knocked the 'con down.

But of course he had already pulled the alarm. "Run!" Tazor girl screamed again, and they all complied. But they were quickly surrounded by fighting Decepticons. Even Blackfire found himself fighting comrades because of Tazor girl. Sari let out a scream as she was thrown across the room, and Blackfire felt someone pull the remote away from tazor girl, deactivate it, and set him free. Payback time. He grinned, reaching for the evil little Tazor girl.

"Uh oh." She said, and started running. Throughout the commotion no one noticed a bright blue ball of light spread out and open a portal. No one noticed, and that is what turned the tide.
