Why? By: Razorsaw

AUTHOR'S NOTE - This takes place shortly after the Armada episode "Crisis."

What just happened?
Megatron, what just happened?
.... I don't understand. No one ever told me things like this happened when Transformers fought one another. I'm not supposed to feel this way, am I? But I don't understand...
I've destroyed many people for you and Thrust. At least, I think I have. No one has never made me stay around very long to check. It's always "destroy this!" and "fire at that!" and then, move on to do it somewhere else. This... this is the first time... I've had to see what happened after someone got shot. Well, it would be the 2nd time, if I was able to see what was going on when you got the Requiem Blaster from the Autobots, Megatron. But I was combined. I couldn't see.
... That Transformer. Optimus Prime. Is he... destroyed?
Is it my fault? We Decepticons destroyed him. So it must be my fault, along with everyone else's...
A game. I thought it was a game...
I was just... following orders...
A game...

"TIDAL WAVE!" Megatron bellowed over the communicator. "We're about ready to get underway! Get back into the ship at once!"
Tidal Wave looked up from his position outside the Decepticon ship. "Errrr... yes, Megatron," he said. With that, he engaged his size shifter, and flew inside the ship's hangar bay.
Troubling thoughts continued to run through the giant Decepticon's mind. ... Was what happened to Optimus Prime what he inflicted on other Transformers? Was he just like the Hydra Cannon to his fellow Decepticons? ... And was he just like the Hydra Cannon in thought and deed?
...
But what else did he have?
Grunting, Tidal Wave looked down, and headed towards the bridge. Megatron would probably want him for something, in time.
That was his purpose...
But he still didn't know why.
