A/N: I'll slightly alter the back story and Bigvic150 I appreciate your reply on the story so far. In a way Omega is like the Punisher, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Shadow the Hedgehog and what other anti-hero is on the list but my personal favorites is the Punisher and Shadow the Hedgehog. Chapter 20 actually had a lot of different endings to it which was why I took so long on uploading it, one where Sura and Mira both die in battle fighting each other, one where everyone comes back home safely, one where Omega using Ghost rider's abilities to kill Flamewar and Slipstream while sending them both to Hell, even sometimes the Fanfiction app was glitching or acting up which didn't save my files which didn't save most of my content. So I decided to go with how Omega killed Slipstream and Flamewar in the last chapter instead. Hope you enjoy Chapter 21 and how it turns out.

Micheal was awakening to the sound of two soft voices, they were saving 'Wake up sleepy head'.
Micheal who was 14 years old groans as he turned over to his side wanting to ignore, "Just let me sleep for a another 5 seconds."
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5." Both girls count at the same time with smiles and chant, "Wake up Mikey!" multiple times.
Micheal sighs, "Didn't mean it literally."
Micheal turns around to his side to see his young step sisters, "Glad to see you girls are up and about."
Micheal gets up from his bed throwing the covers aside as he cracks his neck to hear bones popping, "You guys want some pancakes at Flappy Jack's."
"Yeah sure." Luna the 9 year old said as she hops up and down.
"Yay!" Calliope, 8 year's old says with kindness as she does the same thing as Luna.
Both girls began to pull Micheal's hands to bring him out his room heading downstairs as Micheal chuckles. These kids have a lot of energy in them, "Wait hold up. We should get ready first before anything."
All three of them get ready, Micheal grabs his car keys to his 2010 Black Ford Mustang. All of them exit the house as Micheal locks the door behind him. He double checks just in case.
Micheal has always been a safe driver so making it to a nearby Flappy Jack's was an easy trip much while Micheal parks in between a red and blue truck and a blue motorcycle.
The three get out the car as Micheal presses the lock button. They pull the handle to insure that the doors are locked as they enter the restaurant.
They sit down at their table as they are searching for what to eat by the options that are on their menu's. All three of them were sitting next to each other as Micheal was in the middle.
Their waitress with blue hair asked them about what they would like to drink, Micheal asks his step sisters what they want.
"Apple juice please."
"Orange juice would be nice."
"Got it." The waitress replied with a smile as she writes it down, "Anything for you?"
"Um, I'll take a Orange juice as well. Thank you." Micheal says with smile.
"You got it." The waitress takes her leave.
Both Calliope and Luna giggled as Micheal glances at them, eyes avoiding the menu, "What's so funny?"
"You like her, don't you?" Luna said teasing him.
Micheal snorts, "In your dreams kiddo."
"We know you are interested in her." Calliope adds in.
Micheal sighs as he flips his menu, he honestly just wants to subject to end because he will never live this down otherwise it will haunt him, "Dear God, please get me out of this conversation. Alright she's actually attractive but to me it's more about the personality that matters. That's what I want in a girl; One who's strong, independent, caring, understandable, and pretty. One day I will find someone out there, one day."
"Whatever you say, Sunshine." Both sister replied simultaneously as they make kissing and smooching noises.
"Honestly I should just leave you both here." Micheal said letting out a chuckle as the girls do the same, "But you know I will never do that."
"We know." Both girls replied back as they laid their heads on Micheal's sides as he brings them closer together.
The waitress comes back with their beverages, "Alright. So what will you guys be having for today?"
"Um yeah sure. I'll have the Old fashioned Buttermilk. Please." Micheal replies.
Calliope, "Blueberry waffles for me, please."
"Ah that's one of my personal favorites. Anything for you sweetheart?" The waitress asked Luna next.
"Strawberry waffles would be ok, please." Luna says with a smile.
"You got it."
"Oh we never got your name, miss..." Calliope says.
The waitress smiles, "Sadie."
"Very pretty name. My name's Calliope."
Luna raised her hand, "Luna."
Micheal smirks, "Micheal."
"It's very nice to meet you guys. I'll be bringing your food shortly."
"Thank you." Micheal responded as Sadie took her leave, he groans, "Oh course you would ask for her name."
"You like her." Luna teases.
Their food was brought to them as they ate in silence but it was mostly just Micheal as Calliope and Luna proceeded to keep on teasing him. Eventually they had finished their breakfast. Sadie comes back once again to bring out the check. Micheal noticed that Sadie had written her phone number, Micheal sings his name on the signature as he leaves a 20 dollar tip on the table.
All three of them exit the restaurant while Micheal holds the door open for Luna and Calliope as Sadie was watching them leave, both Sadie and Micheal look at each other for a moment before Sadie winks at him and walks away to return to her pose leaving Micheal in a daze with a flustered face showing.
Micheal clears his throat as he turned his thoughts towards getting Luna and Calliope home.
Luna and Calliope get out of the car as they let Micheal park his car in the garage. He gets out of his vehicle as he closed the garage door behind him. Micheal unlocks the front door as they walk in the house. Micheal closes the door behind them as he felt something hard hit his head.
He grunts as he turned around to tackle the intruder letting out shouts to keep his adrenaline up. He punches the man wearing a black mask in the face few times as pulled off the mask while others were starting assault him with there melee weapons. Some were bats, wrenches, metal poles.
A metal bat hits the side of his head as he fell to his side while he was bloodied and bruised.
"Leave him alone!" Luna shouts as she tries to escape one of the intruders grip, holding her hostage.
"Stop it!" Calliope cried out doing the same.
The men continued to assault Micheal. Once they were done he was still breathing softly while Luna and Calliope were crying.
The voices were fading back and forth, "Kid saw my face. Do what you got to do."
"No! No! No! No! Kill me! KILL ME BUT LET THEM LIVE! Wait wait wait wait!" Micheal was able to shout it out but was kicked in the face.
Micheal's vision was fading back and forth as he hears and sees faint gun shots while warm blood splattered his face see two bodies fall to the carpet in front of him. Micheal looks up to one of the intruders aiming a gun at him at takes the shot while everything goes dark, "Stay in the darkness, where you belong."
A few hours later. Micheal opens his eyes to find himself in the hospital at an emergency room while bandages were covering his head. He looks to his left to see his mother by his side with tears in her eyes.
Micheal doesn't say anything as he looks up at the ceiling as tears fell down his eyes as well.
Two weeks passed by as Luna and Calliope's funerals were being attended except for one person, Micheal was in his 2010 Black Ford Mustang where he could see the funeral taking place, he was wearing a suit with sunglasses over his eyes.
Micheal closed his eyes for a moment as the massacre played in his head once again, he starts to rub his forehead as he grips hair, he starts to hit his steering wheel multiple times as he let's out shouts so many times that he drives away from the funeral exiting the cemetery.
Later that night, he was in his neighborhood sitting in his car when he sees 6 people breaking into someone's home. Not doubt that it was a married couple's home who went out to have dinner, Micheal gets out his car to open his trunk to open a large case which reveals a M-16, below the assault rifle were two Ruger-57 pistols. He places the pistols in the back of his pants as he takes out the M-16 and walks to the house where the 6 intruders are waiting for the couple. Little did they know that someone else will be arriving at the house and not the married couple.

Gunshot echos in the dreams of Omega as he jumps in surprise not screaming at all while the chains restain most of his movements. His optics shines over the darkness as the lights turn on again which means that morning approached.
'Never, never again. Not this time.' Omega mutters to himself, even though Flamewar and Slipstream were dead. The rest of the Decepticons are still out there along with Megatron. Omega grips the chains as he pulls really hard.

Arcee awoke with a pain in her spark again, no doubt that it was her connection to Omega, no doubt that being held in a cell might have caused him some trigger to have nightmares without her by his side. She needed to speak with Optimus about yesterday's incident before asking him to see Omega.
She exits her berth to search for Optimus, she eventually found him in the training room with Elita-1 present.
"Optimus, may I speak with you?"
"Yes. What is it Arcee?"
"Why, why would you put Omega in a cell over 2 Decepticon deaths? Flamewar and Slipstream's history throughout the war were much more different than Arachnid's. Both of those glitches were monsters inside and out." Arcee asked as her voice was slightly breaking into both rage and depression.
"Omega killed Slipstream and Flamewar for revenge. The recon drone that he deployed was still online and the rest of the members of team Prime saw everything after he was put in his cell. I had trusted Omega when he arrived here but after what had done and not follow my followed my orders, I fear that i can no longer be able to accept his trust anymore because trust has to be earned Arcee and you know that. He even assaulted one of our own, if I had not interfered Omega would've continued to harm the others further. I fear that he has lost his ways." Optimus Prime explains.
"Optimus had already explained every bit of detail since his arrival here but after what I somewhat witnessed of the abilities and devastation that he can do, I am not sure if I can not look him as an Autobot ever again." Elita-1 simply adds in to defend Primes words.
Arcee's optics narrows between Elita-1 and Optimus, she shoots a glare at Optimus, "If I had killed Arachnid from the start of her arrival here, would you have done the same to me as you now do to Omega?"
"...No I wouldn't."
"Then what makes you think that you can treat him as such. My own sparkmate! Your greatest solider of all people! He may look like us on the outside but by heart he's more human than any of us. He suffers so much in his own spark that I can feel his pain alone." Arcee replied as tears were beginning to form as she fell to her knees. Elita kneels to her sister as she placed a servo on Arcee's shoulder.
Optimus Prime could tell that she was telling the truth, he actually had no idea that Omega was still suffering, he must've been hiding it very well. He exhaled softly as he kneels down to Arcee, "Very well. I will release him in the next few hours. Omega needs you but know that he won't be going on missions for a while, he needs time to collect himself. But if he can't, he will be locked up permanently. His actions against the Decepticons will only bring out further retaliation and lead to human loses."
Arcee looks up at her leader, she wipes her tears away with her arm to add a smile, "Thank you Optimus."
Suddenly an alarm went off as a red light was flashing back and fourth in the entire base.

Omega pulls the chains as the wall behind him breaks apart. Omega grips the metal energy bars as the they were sending burning sensations to his servos as he let's out yells to keep his adrenaline up while the bars break apart to allow Omega to walk through. Omega walks down the hallway as he was unwrapping the chains that surrounded his forearms, Bumblebee walks around the corner to notice Omega walking towards him and not in his cell, out of instinct Bumblebee quickly pressed the button to his left to sound the alarm.
Bumblebee turns his helm to look forward but only to see Omega gone, "Wait, where did he-"
"Shouldn't have done that." Omega says as he knocked out Bumblebee which he falls to the ground unconscious, "Sorry Bee."
Omega took off in another direction, Drift the blue Cybertronian samurai unsheathed his twin swords as he attacks Omega but Omega was just deflecting the attacks as he uses blade mode to deflect the swords out of Drift's hands and then get knocked out with a single punch afterwards. Jazz and Sideswipe try to stop him but failed in attempt.
TFP
Optimus, Arcee, Elita-1 were running in the hallways to find Bumblebee unconscious on the ground, Optimus kneels to Bumblebee, "Bumblebee, wake up!"
Bumblebee's optics open hearing the voice of his leader, "Omega, he's making a break for it!"
Arcee eyes widen at hearing her sparkmates name. She runs pass them as she makes her way to the main room. She passes Drift, Jazz, Sideswipe, Arachnid, Ironhide, Crosshairs, and Smokescreen all knocked out.

Omega was on the console placing in coordinates to get as far away from the base as possible as an unconscious Ratchet was on the floor while Sura and Mira were on the medical berth still in stasis. The humans were just watching on the sidelines in fear since they couldn't necessarily do anything to stop him, even Lennox and Epps had their guns pointed at him.
Omega set in random coordinates as the ground-bridge activates. Omega was about to walk through when he hears a blaster charging.
He looks over his shoulder to see Optimus Prime and Elita-1 aiming their blasters at while Arcee slowly walks up to him, Optimus Prime speaks up, "Stand down."
Omega turns his helm forward as he felt Arcee's servo holding one of his, "Omega, please, let us help you."
"I don't need help."
"You do. I was in a dark place just like you are right now. There is no need to go off on your own."
"I'm in my right mind, Arcee. Mira and Sura are safe now. But whether if my actions are right or wrong, I'm going to end this war alone. And if you want to try and stop me so be it. This is my choice."
Arcee eyes widen as sadness was showing on her expression, "...Omega, I just, I can't lose you. I don't want you to go out and get yourself killed."
"I'm sorry Arcee but I'm already dead. Look after Sura and Mira for me. Make sure Mira is grounded for 3 months, don't think I've forgotten about the Warship incident." This honestly made Arcee smirk at that knowing Omega she knew and love still there somewhere but her face saddens again.
Optimus disabled his weapons as did Elita-1, "You were once an Autobot with honor, Omega, you told me that with great power, comes great responsibility. You have abused that power by killing Flamewar and Slipstream."
"And with that power I can make a world were no monster will ever kill an innocent soul ever again without staying on the sidelines and watch helplessly."
In hindsight Optimus could practically see where Omega was coming from, if Optimus had no morals, he could've end the war a long time ago but he was better than Megatron himself, in a way he knows Omega is right with everything he's saying, "If you step out of this base, we won't stop coming for you until we bring you in."
"I know, Optimus. You do what you gotta do, I do what I have to do. Most mornings I wake up wishing it could've been my little step sisters who lived instead of me. There is a memory file of my past downloaded from neural network, I had already installed it on the monitor, once you see you will understand with what I had to do last night. You don't know shit about what it's like to have innocent young lives die in front of you but you will, you will." Omega now stepped into the ground-bridge as it shuts down in front of the three Autobots
Seeing that their one strongest trustworthy Autobot leave the base alone hurt but it effected Arcee the most.
Her sparkmate, the one she loves who was now corrupted by nightmares of his past, a broken soul dealing with nothing but pain and regret everyday was now an unhinged warrior fighting off his demons only to unleash them on the Decepticons even Megatron himself that is if he can find them. A one man army as humans call it fighting off a war for the Autobots but deep down inside of her spark she knows that he's still alive in there somewhere doing whatever it takes to keep them safe away from the dangers of this war.
The rest of the Autobots came back slightly injured as Optimus was helping out Ratchet much while Rafael was accessing the monitors to find the file that Omega put in. The video plays on the monitors as the video was playing every moment of Omega's past life like a montage as Hurt was playing in the background. Everyone was know fully understanding Omega or Micheal with what he had to go through in his life up until it shows the day his sister's were killed in cold blood but he was the only one who survived and joined the marine corps, after years of training and experience when he reached the age of 19, it now leads him to go kill gangsters, biker gangs, drug dealers, mob bosses, burglars, pedophiles, all other sorts of monsters on his own. After the authorities were able capture him, he still killed criminals inside the prison walls. Many people were starting to call him The Executioner as a code name. A prison riot occurred which helps out Micheal escape to do what he did best until he was killed in action through a crossfire making it his last stand until he came to this universe and was suppressing all of his memories and demons until they were unleashed once again when Sura and Mira were nearly killed by Flamewar and Slipstream.
(Johnny Cash - Hurt)
Lyrics: I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find a way.
