Payton's P.O.V.
Bumblebee and I were being shipped to the Autobot base with twelve other sparklings. We made fourteen all together so they divided the group in half. I was separated from Bumblebee and taken into another ship. My ship went right before Bumblebee's did. I heard something and when it hit I felt it. I went into a Stasis lock because of the pain. When I woke up I saw every mech was gone and I was the only one left. I tried to stand up but noticed that my whole body hurt too much. I stayed on the ground, laying there and looking at the two moons.
Bumblebee calms down and tells the part of the story from his P.O.V.
Bumblebee's P.O.V.
I woke up earlier then the Autobots thought I would. I saw the ship go down and flames engulfed the whole ship like it was a piece of paper. I looked around and found out that Payton wasn't there. The Autobots grabbed my arms and dragged me to a computer. I was small so I couldn't see the screen until one of them picked me up. I looked at the screen and saw Payton, wide awake on the ground. I heard them start a conversation.
Mech 1: "Do you see any survivors?"
Mech 2: "No."
Me: "I do."
Mech 1: "Where?"
I pointed to where Payton was and they were shocked about it. The second mech landed the ship and ran over to Payton. He checked to see if she was still online. When he confirmed that she was online but hurt I ran over to her as fast as possible. When I left the first mech ran after me. That's when the ship was engulfed by fire and turned into ash. I looked over at the ship when it was hit and just stood there. The mechs turned around and saw. I finally learned what there names were. The first mech's name was Spike and the second mech's name was Sharp Shooter. Spike grabbed me by my arm while Sharp Shooter took Payton. They brought us into a dark alley where they knew they would be safe and be able to keep us safe. When Payton woke up they started telling us what to do if they weren't there with us. One day they went to go scavenge for energon and didn't come back for 120 cycles (2 hours) I started to get worried when Payton started up a conversation.
Payton's P.O.V.
Me: "Brother we should go look for them."
Bumblebee: "But they told us to stay here."
Me: "Bumblebee, they might be hurt, or even worst... OFFLINE."
Bumblebee: "Fine. But we have to be stealthy. I know where they went, follow me."
I followed behind Bumblebee, he told me to follow him so I did. When we got to where Spike and Sharp Shooter went, everything was destroyed, burnt, or not there anymore. We ran around screaming their names when finally we heard Spike yelling for us.
Spike: "Bumblebee. Payton."
Me: "Spike where are you?"
Spike: "Don't come over here."
We run over there even though he told us not to. We meet a strange mech had just shot him. I screamed with anger, Bumblebee covered my mouth but it was to late... It heard me.
Mech: "Well hello little Sparklings. My name is Knockout."
Bumblebee: "Why did you just tell us your name?"
Knockout: "Because it will be the last name you'll ever hear."
I think he meant that we were about to go offline. Why do I think that, well it's because he pointed his guns at us and got ready to fire. First he shot Bumblebee, he wasn't offline because I would have been offline as well. Bumblebee went into Stasis Lock and never actually saw what happened next. He never knew about the power I held, well actually I wouldn't have been alive without. I share my power with him so that I won't disappear. But when he went into Stasis lock I got too mad for anyone to handle.
Me: "I AM NOT THE ONE THAT IS GOING TO GO OFFLINE! YOU'RE GOING TO GO OFFLINE WAY BEFORE I DO!" *Has that "I am going insane" look*
Knockout: "Whoa. No need to get mad. He isn't offline, he is just in Stasis Lock." *I hope this test works to see if they are my long lost brother and Sister."
Me: "Ha. HA HA HA. Like I didn't know that already."
Knockout: *It is them. the test worked now it's time to disappear before I go offline. But first I better get some wounds to show Megatron. If he sees how strong she is then he will make both of them Decepticons. I hope so, I really hope so.*
My servos turn into guns and I begin shooting like a maniac. I hit him once or twice on the arm and three times on the leg. He disappeared like a shadow and I never expected to see him again. My guns change back into my servos and I run over to Bumblebee and I woke him up.
Bumblebee's P.O.V.
I woke up to find Payton over me and she was screaming at me to get up. I got up, (with Payton's help) and we walled over to Spike and Sharp Shooter. Sharp Shooter had been offline for 120 cycles (2 hours). To my surprise Spike was still online.
Me: "Spike! Stay with us please, we will find help and then you will be okay. GOT IT?!"
Spike: "Why did you leave the alley?"
Payton: "We got worried and came looking for You and Sharp Shooter."
Spike: "Is Sharp Shooter online?"
Me: "I'm sorry to say this but he went offline 120 cycles ago."
Spike: "I'm really sorry that we have to abandon you but we couldn't take him on. I wish that we got you to the Autobot-"
After that they went offline and that is how we ended up here in the Autobot base.
The End... or is it?
