Safire was bleeding profusely from her mouth as well as various other parts of her body, the pinkish purple energon mixed with black blood oozed from her cracked red hide, riveted with various injuries all recently inflicted upon her. She lay there exhausted, slowly and painfully dying from the inside out. Her normally bright and watchful optics were dull and almost lifeless as the life force flowed from her body faster than she thought possible.

The larger than expected sparkling she had just given birth to plus the brutal beating she had just received from her mate jinx had all but crushed the older mare saber horse. And to top everything off, a new friend of Jinx, Toxic Mixup, had entered the scene, adding his poisonous saliva to the area where Jinx had previously bitten the mare on her neck since it was closest to the mare's spark. She could feel her life force fade away, but it was a slow, painful process as the poison slowly crept though her emptying blood and energon lines, killing anything and everything that they came into contact with.

Safire knew she was a lost cause; she had long lost contact with her guardian Starscream who had taken good care of her. And before she knew it, her rocky life was passing before her darkening optics. She knew and could feel as each and every part of her body slowly died from the combination of the birth, the fight, and the poison. She lay down, which crushed her ribs as the saber horse lay on her side, not wanting to watch as the life force flowed out of her. And if it was not bad enough that Jinx and Toxic Mixup were laughing at her, she could almost hear her brand new sparkling mech laughing at her. She looked at it briefly, and saw it was the spitting image of its father. She wanted to cry, but did not want to give Jinx that satisfaction.

And as the minutes slowly ticked by, the energon flow continued as did the black blood which flowed through Safire's body. Toxic Mixup was a little startled by the black blood as well as the multihued spark, but things became much clearer as Safire's body began switching colors and forms, randomly going through all six of her personalities, sometimes mixing various one and sometimes just showing one. Safire could feel the searing heat as her body was winding down as it rotated through her forms.

The burning sting took its toll. Then came even more indignities as Jinx continued to kick her as she lay on the ground, helpless and vulnerable to attack. And his sharp, hard kicks did not land on places that were tough and hardened, but on areas where they would cause the most damage, especially as he drew his sharp claws across her thin skin and used his sharp tail to prevent her from blocking his attacks right near her very spark chamber. Safire could see the sadistic pleasure that Jinx was getting out of this just by looking into his bright red eyes, which seemed to burn right into her spark, burning her fragile spark as well.

And to make matters even worse, Jinx reached down and violently, forcefully, as well as brutally ripped out Safire's very spark and began tightly squeezing it while he held it in his strong, angry, fisted hand. She could feel death surrounding her. She wanted to fight, but she had nothing left, as her spark shattered into a million pieces, scattering over the land, blown about by the wind, and as Safire finally lay dying….

….Safire woke up in a panic. She looked around her, hoping to find something familiar. And then she found it, and as she crawled toward the familiar figure, she curled up tightly next to him. And soon the older mech woke up, looked at the femme's tear filled eyes, and drew her to his chest.

"Rest my precious little Safire, I won't let anything happen to you" stated Starscream, and with that the little filly curled up next to the seeker and fell asleep, hoping that she would have a good dream now that she was near someone who she knew would keep her safe.
