Chapter 7

"Final Key"

Slash's POV

In a way, I was hoping this would never happen...But in the beginning, I didn't know...what I wanted...

Normal POV

Slash ran down the halls, wary of any one of the Decepticons seeing her. She carried the helmet under her left arm and relaxed, yet stiffened her right arm, trying to keep it from hurting so much. Her stress caused her blood to rush, and her broken arm was full of pain from throbbing.

"I can forget going out the base. I'm gonna stay with my master." she thought.

Her hazel brown eyes glared down her path as she searched for Cyclonus' room. But it didn't take long for her to find it.

The copter's pain-filled scream was hint enough to tell Slash that it was the next door to her right. Turning to the doorway, she stopped dead in her tracks and froze in shock.

Megatron had stabbed Cyclonus in his face, and held it there as he grinned. Cyclonus fell limp, but seemed to be alive, but just barely.

Tears pricked at her eyes, and she began to shed them. "Cyclonus!"

Megatron smirked and turned around to Slash, pulled out the Star Saber, and said, "Now for you..."

Slash stepped back a few, then turned around and began the race. She had to find Demolisher. He was the only one that could help, the only other that she trusted...

Slash's POV

There were three locks that held closed my door to fate...Three keys that would open those locks......I never thought that those were the keys...

Normal POV

Running...running with every bit of energy she could possibly summon. Her breath was so heavy due to fright and exhaustion. Slash searched the halls for Demolisher, hoping to find him soon. She could hear Megatron's footsteps thundering just one hall behind her.

He must have thought of this as a game, he hardly seemed to be trying. "Come on, Slash. I thought you were interested in dying. That's what I've been hearing."

Wait! Who's-Demolisher! He was in the next room to her right. Slash ran to it and closed the door, "Demolisher! Megatron killed Cyclonus!"

"What?! Oh no!" Demolisher stood from his seat and looked down to her. "Where's Cyclonus?!"

"He's in his room!" Slash pointed to her right as she spoke.

Demolisher scooped up the human and began to run out of the door. Megatron stepped in, smirking evilly as he stared to Demolisher. The lower ranking Decepticon watched his commander nervously as he scooted past him, then broke into a run once he escaped.

"Why did Megatron do that?" Demolisher asked Slash as he held her in his palm.

"Because he shot and took Leader 1."

"But why?"

"I don't know! He was mad at Megatron, plus he's a maniac! He does crazy things!"

Demolisher stayed quiet and continued to run.

Slash's POV

I never thought that they would be actions......I never thought it was possible for someone else to choose my time to end...

Normal POV

Finally making it to the room, Demolisher stopped and waited for the door to open. Only fear took over them when they saw Cyclonus' frame lie in a pool of his spilt energon.

His face had a large, line-like hole in it. His fingers just barely twitched, most probably by nerves. Sparks crackled from his many wounds that were all over his body.

Demolisher ran over and placed Slash by his side on the floor. Lifting Cyclonus in his arms, the tank Transformer stood up and ran out, leaving Slash in the room.

She stared after him, worry filling her eyes, as well as tears. "Cyclonus...Please live...You're like a father to me. Please...come back..."

Slash's POV

I never thought about a lot of things that considered life. Those three keys were when I asked Cyclonus to kill me. That was the easiest key to find. The second key was when I cut myself for not being allowed to go back to the Decepticons. A little harder, but it would happen sooner or later. And now...the third and final key to my door was being used here and now...My master...my father, was going to loose his life...And without him...

DUM all goes black

I'll go back to being too dark to control...
