Chapter 3

"Battle For Rights With Death"

Slash winced as she woke up. Her body lying on its back on a huge, cold, metal table. She felt something hard wrap around her broken, right arm. Trying to get use to the bright lights, she squinted with her eyes closed and brought up her left arm to bring shade. Her arm throbbed and ached with stinging pain. She wanted to scream, but she didn't know where she was, and was afraid that someone she didn't know would hear her.

Thundering, metal footsteps came closer to her. Barely opening her eyes, she spoke up, "Cyclonus?"

A dark shadow loomed over her and blocked the white lights. Opening her eyes, she gasped at the sight of a new giant robot and used both arms to back away, but collapsed in pain from her right arm. Gasping again and lifting it away, she sat up and cradled it in her lap. "Lord, just kill me now..." she thought to herself.

"Hello there. My name is Red Alert." a voice sounded softly from above her. "Feeling better?"

"Where's Cyclonus?" Slash glared down at her arm and thought over what she last remembered before she woke up.

"With the Decepticons. What's"

"I'm not with the Decepticons anymore?!" Slash managed to stand and looked up to Red Alert with pleading eyes. "What are you?"

"An Autobot. I'm the medic of the team."

"I want to be back with Cyclonus!"

"I'm sorry, but that won't happen very soon. What's your-"

"Where is you leader?!" Bring him in here!"

"Tell me your name." Red Alert sighed stared down to the human girl, waiting for her answer.

"Sash...uh...Slash...my name's Slash." she dropped her head and glared back to the floor, "Cyclonus will kill me for making friends with an Autobot."

"Optimus, she woke up...And she wants to talk." Red Alert spoke out, Slash guessed that it was that intercom that the Decepticons used some times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Starscream walked into Demolisher's room, "Where's Cyclonus? I haven't seen him all day."

"Did you look in his room? I can't believe he's still crying over that human." Demolisher stood up from his desk and walked over to the fighter jet. "Come on...We better make sure Megatron didn't find him that way. He'd beat Cyclonus down to Cybertron."

Starscream nodded and released a slight smile. Both Decepticons walked down the halls that were blanketed with moon dust and printed with their footprints. Bits of the walls and ceiling were hanging from their sources, along with wires and similar scraps of metal.

Minutes later, Starscream and Demolisher made it to Cyclonus' door.

"Hey, Cyclonus! Open up. You in there?" Demolisher called to the copter Transformer, the door being the only barrier between them.

No one called back to him. Starscream knocked loudly on the door, "Cyclonus! Open this door!" he stopped knocking and looked to Demolisher, "Now I feel like a mother who just grounded her kid."

The door finally opened, revealing to the waiting Decepticons something that even Megatron just had to scream over...

~~~~~~~~~~~

"How could you want to go back to the Decepticons? Didn't they force you to be their slave?" Rad asked, confused at Slash's request.

Alexis and Carlos sat with the boy in front of Slash, everyone still in the Med. Bay. All of the Autobots were gathered around the table.

"I was their slave, but they never made me do something I couldn't. I want to go back with them. They are my family that I never had." Slash didn't know how she was going to get back now. These guys just didn't get it.

"But we're the good guys." Carlos explained, "We're suppose to defeat the Decepticons. They're the bad guys."

"I don't care if the whole universe is placed in your hands to save it! I want to be back with the Decepticons..." Slash noticed a small blade near her, it must be some lost, broken piece, and grabbed it. "Return me back or I'll cut myself." She placed it against her tightened wrist.

"You're staying with the Autobots, and that's that!" Optimus ordered.

"Then I die." Slash pressed the blade on her wrist harshly, and blood began to seep heavily from the sides...

Alexis screamed a gasp and Rad snatched the blade from the suicidal girl. The Autobots began to speak among themselves and Red Alert reached down to her.

Blood drained from her right arm's wrist, and Slash began to feel dizzy. Red Alert lifted her up and ran to another table full of medical items. The girl fell to her side, her breath heavy, and her red and black locks fanned out under her. Suddenly having the urge to stay awake, she opened her eyes widely, trying not to close them. They felt so heavy, just like the rest of her body.

The medic 'bot grabbed human sized cloths and worked on her wound. He had already set her down on the table.

Everything grew blurred around her. She felt as if she was growing nauseated, but couldn't find the strength to move. Her head slowly turned from side to side in a drunken way, trying to search for a clear area. Feeling a sharp pain in her left shoulder, she gasped and tried to jerk away, but her body was too weak, and then even was too weak to move. It dropped to the side as she stared into the blended view in front of her...Then everything went black, and her mind was blank...
