Shiori: ...


19. Chaos Herald

Someone was in pain. He could feel the beating pulse of it as it echoed out to him. Sitting in the shadowed corner of a dark room, he activated his optics. For him, he could see every crack in the wall, every dent in the floor, and every hole in the ceiling of the room from the huge battle that had taken place in there six decades before. If anyone else had been there, his pink optics would have been the sign of an old, dangerous traitor.

Time to wake and start the cycle of chaos anew, he thought as he gathered his black, staticy form together before jumping into the wall and seeping through the cracks like liquid...


"Thank you, Red Alert," Shiori whispered softly to the medic as he placed a small basic-frame bot into her arms. He gave her a comforting smile.

"It's all in a day's work, Shiori. Now why don't you go show that sweet thing to our nervous friends in the other room?" He suggested with a small chuckle. Shiori stood up slowly, and started towards the door with Elita, who'd refuesed to leave the room earlier. It didn't take them long to get to the room where Megatron and First Aid were by following the Decepticon's swearing voice and the medic's shouts of "SIT DOWN SO I CAN REPAIR YOU!", making the trip rather amusing as they listened to their argument. Occasionally, Optimus Prime's voice floated in and out of the arguement.

"BLAST IT! IT HURTS!" Megatron roared at the smaller medic as the femmebots walked into the room. First Aid sighed.

"If you had come in to get repaired before now, it wouldn't hurt so much."

"I"LL COME IN TO BE REPAIRED WHEN I CHOOSE TO!"

"Sit down, Megatron..." Optimus sighed, standing as he saw his wife and his sister come into the room. The Decepticon let out a growl, and stubbornly remained standing.

"You're the cause of my wound in the first place!" Megatron snapped.

"AND I'LL BE THE CAUSE OF MORE IF YOU DON'T SIT DOWN AND LET HIM FIX YOU!" Optimus thundered, becoming the cause of Megatron falling over in surprise. Everyone stared at the Autobot leader as he rumbled irritably to himself before getting his temper back under control.

"What are you staring at?" He growled at one of them.

"Uhm..." was all First Aid could think of to say. Shiori stepped forwards slightly. "The fact that you just shouted the Decepticon leader to the ground might have something to do with it, Optimus," She pointed out, still tired from her ordeal. First Aid noticed that Megatron was still on the ground and took the opportunity to start repairing him, ignoring the glare the 'Con shot at him. Optimus muttered something to himself and turned away, looking slightly uneasy. Elita stepped over to him and put her arms around his waist in a hug. He glanced down at her before returning it. Megatron sighed defeatedly, and looked up at Shiori.

"..." He couldn't think of anything to say to her, even though he wanted to. Irritated at himself, he shut off his optics to think to himself for a moment.

"Megatron?" Shiori inquired. Megatron activated his optics again and looked at her.

"What?"

"Why... Why were you so concerned about me?" she asked him.

"..." Megatron's face flushed with embarrasment. "Who said I was?" He growled, trying to hide his embarrasment. Shiori chuckled weakly. "You aren't hiding things very well today, are you?"

"... You remind me of her," he said finally after a pause, avoiding looking into anyone's optics. Shiori examined his face.

"You miss her, don't you?"

"Who wouldn't miss her?" Megatron sighed. "My beautiful Blazestorm... Lost forever."

"Even the lost can return here, Megatron," Optimus said softly, looking over at the Decepticon leader. "I know from experience..."


Hmmm, the shade thought quietly as he listened to the conversation below. Megatron? Concerned about anyone? This IS interesting information...

"You miss her, don't you?" The red and blue femme below him asked the 'Con.

"Who wouldn't miss her?... My beautiful Blazestorm... Lost forever."

"Even the lost can return here, Megatron. I know from experience."

"I'm sure, Prime..."

"Ohhh yesssss... We all return..." The shade said into the room, and everyone below froze. Megatron's optics narrowed, along with Optimus's.

"I know that voice..." Megatron said slowly, looking around.

"As you well should!" the shade shouted, and leapt down into the center of the room. "The Allspark knows you've killed me before!... But not completely enough..."

"SIDEWAYS!" Megatron roared, leaping to his feet furiously. The shade cackled as it turned to face the Decepticon leader. "Yes, Sideways... And you thought you'd gotten rid of me, didn't you? HA! I wonder what'll happen if I take the life of the defenseless here n-ARGH!"

"You're the undefended as of this moment, Sideways..." Optimus growled darkly as his now-clawed hands ripped into Sideway's back and threw him into a wall. His optics flashed a hot-white and silver, and he turned to face the purple and yellow bot. Sideways growled back at him.

"Do you think Unicron would re-activate me without some upgrades, Optimus Prime?" Sideways pulled out a black sword, and held it in front of him. "It's time for your end..."

"MY end?" Optimus snarled, stretching himself out and tapping into his spark box...

Shiori gasped in amazment. Megatron backed away in fear as he watched. Elita drew away from him and Sideways, her optics widening as Optimus stretched himself out completely...
