Ultra Magnus, Sentinel Prime, Jazz, the jet twins, and Blurr board the ship, they noticed Blur's unusual behavior upon him reporting in. The jet twins and Jazz grow worried while their commanding officers remains ignorant of it. Everyone is anxious to have the Allspark back in their care, away from Megatron's avaricious grasp, thus, they aren't too suspicious of it. The jet twins walk over to Blurr as he sulks, terribly distraught and aloof.
"Somethin' troublin' Agent Blur sir?" Jetfire asks, Blur looks up with a blank stare.
"What wrong?" Jetstorm, equally as concerned, asks as well, the only response is a blink and the frown that grows deeper.
"It's-nothing." He stands up and walks to someplace he can be alone with a weakened sigh. His normal superspeed dash is now but a slow saunter, with his head down and not acknowledging the early warning signal that they're going to pass through a space-bridge, which is the very way they will be brought to the nearest space-bridge station to Earth. As they pass through, Blurr sits in an empty room and facing the wall, his suspicions and wild thoughts burn into his circuitry. 'What-if-he-found-another-bot? Is-he-breaking-up-with-me?! Maybe-somebot-found-out? What-did-he-need-to-tell-me?!' His thoughts are interrupted by Ultra Magnus, who clears his vocalizer and treads to him in superiority.
"What is troubling you, Agent Blurr? Is it about the Allspark?" Asks Ultra Magnus, oblivious to Blurr's actual situation.
"It's-" he stops himself, and thinks hastily what to do "it's-just-that-the-Autobots-that-claim-to-have-the-Allspark-lunar-cycles-ago-might-of-had-something-terrible-happened to it and..." He drifts into silence, Ultra-Magnus listens carefully and evaluates Blur's false trouble with care and attention.
"That is possible." Ultra-Magnus looks at him, noticing something off and takes note of it. Blur nods and looks down, trying to hide the fact that it was a lie as he continues to try to figure it out what Longarm wished to tell him. He didn't notice them passing through the spacebridge and traveling at light speed the rest of the way.
Once on Earth, the team Optimus leads were lead inside and 'decontaminated' by Sentinel in paranoia. Blurr pays little attention to the team the entire time instead of introducing himself.
"Hey, are you okay?" Optimus asks, hesitant to speak as Sentinel treats Optimus with distrust and as a suspected spy, causing Optimus to be hesitant to speak to anyone of superiority or equal rank. He looks up at Optimus with the same blank expression as before.
"Nothing-you-need-to-worry-about." He sighs, looking at Optimus from where he sits. Optimus understands the general idea of what he said and nods, believing it best to simply leave the Elite Guard officer be. When they left not long after, he looks around, he has the whole ship to himself, this is an opportunity he does not dare pass. He takes out his transmitter to contact Longarm, anxious to speak to his beau. Suddenly, he hears drilling as the ship tremors. He dashes to the control room and sees from the windshield that someone had drilled nearby to enter, it quickly becomes apparent to him that someone is in here and was the cause of the ship's trembling. He gasps at this realization and in a stripe of blue, goes outside to see two Decepticons stealing something from the ship.
"Vhy zis iz much eazier zhan I though~t!" Blitzwing muses, his persona Random in control, and crackling with laughter.
"Quiet," roars a booming voice "we must get this to Lord Megatron as fast as possible! What if the Autobot scum are still in the ship?!" Lugnut snaps as both Decepticons hurry, this makes Blur's trepidation heat and bubble thickly with anger.
"Now-what-do-we-have-here? Decepticons-I-presume." Blur scowls, they stop and snap their heads at his direction.
"Vwell vwell~ Un Autobot ist here," Random laughs and switches to Hothead "he muzt ve crushed!" Hothead shoots fire with intent to melt Blur into a plashet of his own molten alloy. Blurr easily moved away and punts Blitzwing in the head, Random laughs when Lugnut smashed a crater where Blur once stood before he dashed away then Blurr thwacks the back of the brute's head, Lugnut's vision succumbs to static for a brief moment before collapsing onto the floor. For a trice Blur has forgotten about Blitzwing, a mistake he will soon pay. Icy freezes Blur's peds to the ground, the Autobot gasps and moves every which way, deep cracks rumble from within the small glacier trapping his peds until Icy freezes it again.
"I thought ve vere ze only wans 'ere. No matter, ve got vhat ve came for." Icy helps Lugnut up, the brute, in turn, whacks the mini-bot to the shield with pandemonium force. The tintinnabulating din in his audios deafens him as his vision glitches, his body quavers in agony from the impact. With the last of his strength, he activates an SOS signal before forced into temporary stasis.
He wakes in the ship's med-bay, feeling numb as he reboots, his vision sees first the faces of his fellow comrades. Most are faces of concern, and there's one with a scowl of adhor. He slowly sits up and looks around him. Legs and midriff unresponsive.
"Now why couldn't you beat those two 'cons?!" Scorns Sentinel Prime, for once, Blurr flinches at the Prime's coherent words.
"Yeah, like you did any better," defends Bulkhead "you just watched and freaked out when you saw a Decepticon for the first time." Blurr is surprised someone has the bearings to stand up to Sentinel, who in turn scoffs and falls silent with nothing more than grumbles to express irritation.
"You got hurt pretty bad Zippy." Bumblebee frowns, assuming the name for Blurr since all know of his speed.
"My," his speed falters, which causes him to slightly widen his optics for a moment before figuring it be due to injuries "my name is-not-Zippy," his scolding softens
"it's Blurr."
"Well then, Blur, what happened?"
"Well," he pauses to recollect "I-was-just-inside-and-suddenly-the-ship-was-moving-and-I-heard-drilling. When-I-went-to-investigate-and-found-two-Decepticons-stealing-something-from-the-ship. I-tried-to-fight-them-off-but-I-was-not-aware-of-the-predicament-pr-and-did-not-know-about-what-they-were-capable-of." He said, little fully understood what he said, the word 'Decepticons' however, was very much clear.
"Who were they?" Jazz asked, wanting those Decepticons for injuring his comrade.
"This-Decepticon-whose-faceplates-change-into-three-different-ones-who-was-with-this-large-purple-Decepticon, who-is-the-one-that-sent-me-crashing-into-our-shields."
"Um..." Optimus tried to piece together what words were heard "I think they were the two Decepticons, Blitzwing and Lugnut."
"Turns out they some fair dinkum mongrels, 'em Decepticons!" Jetstorm sneers, to which the other twin nods.
"But had heaps good blue we did!" Jetfire sheepishly in hopes of lifting the mood. They fail and go with Sentinel someplace.
"Just stay here 'till ya heal, kid." Ratchet tells him, to which he nods and closes his optics as he leans back.
Their stay on Earth is like eternity to him, while he did enjoy spending time with the repair team that has been fighting the Decepticons, he so desperately yearns to call Longarm, sadly Sentinel never lets him out of his sights. Blur starts to get everyone suspicious of being in a relationship, how his emotions flare whenever they watched anything involving romance, when they did ask he would freeze and stare then turned away or leaves when they didn't let him change the subject. The repair team was quite alright with it and didn't mind while the Elite Guard didn't take it kindly, saying that if he is, they would have to take him or his lover away so he can focus on his work. Having a romantic relationship in the Elite Guard, as afore-discussed is strictly seen as unprofessional and lowering productivity. During his stay he did run into some competition, Bumblebee was always fighting for the title of being faster than Blur and Sentinel kept on trying to find out who it was so he can make Blur do his work instead of 'just moping around'. The jet twins and him stayed on Earth while the rest left, upsetting him even more. Today Blur finally is to return home along with the jet twins he grew familiar with, they all leave not soon after the spacebridge's destruction, but, during the demolition of the spacebridge, something made returning to Cybertron evermore urgent. Megatron told them that there still is, in fact, a double agent within the Elite Guard's ranks, he didn't say who it was but the transmission Blurr heard between him and Shockwave shook him to his very core, Shockwave's voice sounded so hauntingly familiar. Both he and the jet twins knew they needed to get back to Cybertron immediately to stop an invasion from having any hopes of happening. None dared to use their transmission systems to tell it to whoever answers, for anyone can be the spy and they might just alert said spy. They traveled to Cybertron in fearful and utter silence. When they got there Blur instantaneously asked where Longarm was, claiming that there are some important files that need to be done and made up other excuses whilst faking calmness. The jet twins on the other hand, even with the vital information they know, don't plan on telling anyone immediately, as to not raise alarm and alert the spy. Sentinel was on the brink of investigating Blurr but Ultra Magnus told him to get back to work, much to his luck. The twins were very uneasy as they waited for the right time, they plan on telling Magnus later this cycle.
Blur uses his super-speed to dash to Longarm, who is the first person he wants to see and tell, upon seeing Longarm his spark became so overwhelmed that he fails to notice that he had already ran past, when he turns around and gets near he fumbles and trips, causing him to tumble to the feet of his beau.
"Blur!" Longarm gasps in surprise and worry. The spy had seen Blurr crash Megatron's victory just when he was about to reveal himself. He wants to make sure no one else is around until he can finally tell him the secret that has now burdened him, but he is having second thoughts now in Blurr's presence. Blurr pants and frantically rambles nonsense before standing up and hugging Longarm tight.
"Longarm! There-is-something-I-really-need-to-tell-you!"
"There is something I need to tell you too." Longarm gulps but lets Blurr go first.
"It-is-about-the-spy! The-one-known-as-Bumblebee-was-thought-to-have-caught-a-Decepticon-spy, but, that-is-indeed-not-accurate! During-my-stay-on-Earth-I-have-discovered-that-the-Decepticon-spy-is-still-in-fact-among-us," As he tells this, Longarm's false optics widen whilst showing realization and horror "I-caught-two-transmissions-and-if-we-run-an-analysis-and-I-listen-to-the-vocal-samples-I-will-be-able-to-easily-identify-this-double-agent!" When he finishs Longarm looks around.
"Have you told anyone this?"
"That-is-a-negative!" Blur confirms as he stands at attention.
"Good." Longarm's red mark glows as he looks down, Blur flinches, yet, stood his ground. Longarm knows he has to kill him, it is part of Megatron's strict orders. Yet the spy's spark is screaming not to, his arm refuses to obey him. His body shakes as the conflict between duty and spark arises to new heights. Looking down the spy's will grows bent on revealing himself before his mind can protest.
"L-Longarm?" Blur whimpers, thinking on whether or not to make a run for it.
"Blur," Longarm kneels down and gently places a servo on Blur's shoulder "do you love me?"
"Of-course-I-do-Longarm!"
"Remember when I was going to tell you something? You know, before you left?"
"Yes?" Blur grows uneasy and seeks comfort in Longarm's energy field, he only now notices something is off about it.
"There is something very important I need to tell you," Longarm looks around again to be sure no one is around "do you trust me?"
"Longarm?" Blurr whimpers.
"Do you trust me that I will never hurt you?"
"Y-yes," the mini-bot grows daunted and trembles "why-are-you-saying-this? You're-scaring-me!"
"Blur...I'm sorry I'm scaring you," the glowing red orb on his forehead dims "but...I don't want to keep this secret from you any longer."
"What-are-you-saying?!"
"Blur, I love you. I really do, but...I am not who you think I am," Longarm keeps his hold gentle. The words strangle the confession that is being said like a snake "I-I...I am the spy." Once the words click Blur's optics wide and his face gluts with horror. The cataclysm of betrayal devastates and shatters his spark without strife. Longarm takes a step back, and upon removing his servo Blur falls to his knees, optics fill to the brim with pain that grows into a mute cataract.
"Y-y..." He no longer has the strength to speak, for it has left him, as a life of a crushed mouse has left it.
"I'm so sorry," Longarm chokes, teardrops trickle down as Longarm finally switches into his true self, Shockwave. Yet instead of the harrowing callous Decepticon, the Autobots believe him to be, he has a will that is crushed, under the mighty weight of the burden and remorse he has begotten. The last of his heartfelt words hiss through his denta as he shakes "I didn't mean to hurt you...but believe me when I say I didn't use you! I know you don't trust me right now but I swear, there is nothing I could've gained from this! Other than you..."
"Then why did you do this?" Blurr whispers, not only is his speech slow, it sounds so broken, and makes Shockwave's spark hurt all the more. Shockwave bows his head as his spark flowers his next words.
"Because my only love sprung from this ample anguish, too early seen unknown, and known too late. A prodigious birth of love it is, that I love an enemy." The spy admits, even so, Blur feels as if a dagger is stabbed into his spark, which in a way is so.
"Y-you're a Decepticon..."
"Yes." Shockwave says, for the first time in his life, in shame.
"You...Y-you-lied-to-me," Blurr cries and trembles as he wipes away his tears "you-hurt-me-and-made-a-fool-out-of-me!"
"Blur, please, I-"
"I-hate-you!" He lies and grieves as his lamentation grows, Shockwave recoils and walks up to him.
"Please Blur!" Shockwave gently grabs Blurr's arm and pulls him up.
"What-are-you-" He is cut off when he finds himself securely wrapped in a fondle embrace. Shockwave closes his optic as Blur toils to be released.
"Please let me try to make it up to you, from now on I promise, no more lies, no more deceit. I will even give up my loyalty for you if you want!"
"No! I-hate-you-I-hate-you-I-HATE-YOU!" He grieves louder, Shockwave knows those are empty words, yet it makes the coolant run down faster, and he pleads.
"I beg of you Blur," Shockwave won't let Blurr go "I love you!" After one last hit from his dithering fist, Blurr gives up and weeps so hard that his face and Shockwave's chassis become drenched in his tears. In spite of his hurt and anger, he still loves Shockwave, and he absolutely hates himself for it.
"I..." he breaks into tears once more "I-love-you-too!" He sobs and curls up. He cries and cries, until his optics hurt and his vocalizer fails him. Shockwave changes back into Longarm and cradles Blur close, afraid that the very click he lets go, his love will dash away.
