:{Optimus POV}:

I slowly online my optics, waking from another restless recharge. Staring at the ceiling of my quarters for a moment, I sigh tiredly and slowly stand up on my pedes(feet).

Sighing once again I look around my quarters.

It's pretty empty, the only things there was a berth(bed), a desk with a chair, and my most prized possession.

A data-pad with a picture of Cybertron with all of my friends.

Megatronus, Ratchet, Ironhide, Charge, Stargazer, Wheeljack, Prowl, Jazz, Camo, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Prowl, Jazz, Soundwave and most importantly, Alpha Trion.

I missed them all so much. I knew that the mechs that they once were would never return. Unless there was a way to reverse time.

In all truth, I wished that I would have never been sparked. Sure, happy memories were made. But all of the bad memories outweighed the good. I was made Prime. I was betrayed. I have forgotten who I really am. I was broken. I wanted it all to end. So why keep fighting? I have gone through suffering that no one of my age, or any age, should go through. After all, I was just . . . no, don't think like that. My team needs me. Everyone needs me. I should not let despair get the best of me. I have to keep up the battle. I have to keep on fighting this eternal war. But for what there is no hope left. And yet, I keep hoping that all of this would end someday. Maybe I should just give up on hoping that Megatron would change. In truth I gave up long ago, the day I realized that Megatron did not care if he changed or not.

I exit my quarters and make my way to the main hanger. Passing by the energon storage room, I can't help but peek in, finding a small pile of cubes. Our reserves are low again. I should go scouting for energon soon. Or better, starve myself. Yeah, take only one cube a week. That should help us last.

Entering the main hanger I don't see anyone there. Once again, I am the first one up. I walk up to the main computer.

I work for a bit before a beeping noise interrupted my typing. I open up the signal to find a faint Energon signal. I silently debate whether or not I should go now, or wait for the rest of my team to show. Weighting the pros and cons, I make the decision of going there on my own. I need some time away from base and the Autobots.

Typing a small note to my teammates, explaining were I had gone too, I walk over to the ground bridge controls and power it up. I walk towards the swirling vortex and transform, driving through.

Driving out on the other side I come up in front of a tall mountain that seemed to hide its top in the clouds, obscuring what seemed to be half of it in the in the ocean of white silky waves. It stood proudly in the middle of a dense forest. I walk towards the mountain as the faint energon signal grows stronger and stronger.

Soon I come to a stop in front of the mountain. Looking up, I see a big cave. It's almost at the very top of the mountain. I sigh tiredly.

Walking forwards I reach to grab at an edge of a rock. I reach and grab another one. Slowly, I make my way up. After some time, I reach the entrance of the cave. Slowly walking in. I turn on my headlights, not noticing the faint sound of engines in the distance.

Walking inside the cave, the farther I get, the quicker the darkness consumes me. Although I barely get within 50 feet of the entrance, I find an energon shard. Seconds later I am assaulted with the sounds of transformations and blaster fire. I quickly put the shard in my subspace.

Spinning around, I start blasting at my attackers. At least 50 Vehicons. Bad news. I shoot and dodge repeatedly. One of the Vehicons that I shot went down, but not before shooting the entrance of the cave they were in. The entrance started to cave in and a black figure barely managed to get in before it collapsed.

The Vehicons took my distraction as an advantage and all shot at me at once. Taking me by surprise I barely had time to dodge most of them. The ones that I was not able to dodge shot in the worst places possible. One hit my thigh, another in my abdomen, and one in my right shoulder. I collapse to my knees in pain. I look up and raise my left arm and transform it into a blaster to defend myself.

A crashing noise emitting from behind the Vehicons gets our attention. A Vehicon flies over the remaining group. Everyone looks at it, and then look behind them. A roar shakes the cave as more crashing sounds are heard. This time, I take their distraction to my advantage and start shooting them. I quickly dispense of at least 10 until they finally come out of their shock and start shooting at both me and the thing that attacked them from behind. In a matter of moments, there are only five Vehicons left and I can see the figure properly.

The figure has four legs, with big talons, big wings on its back, a long tail, ear-like things on its head, and is basically like an arrow. The beast is black with strange silver lining covering its body and is comprised fully of metal with black optics that are filled with rage. (If you want to get a better visual, search up Nimbus the dragon. My OC looks like that but instead of blue lines, they are silver and the dragon is made of metal)

It opens its mouth and a black light starts to appear in its mouth. Without hesitation, it shoots it at the nearest and unlucky Vehicon. A Vehicon standing next to the one who was obliterated mere seconds before shoots the creature. It whined when the blast hit it in its tail, and the Vehicon runs up to it and tackles it. The other three follow him but I manage to shoot them before they get close to the beast.

The Vehicon that remained was about to shoot the creature again when I blasted him in the head, offlining him immediately.

The creature looks at me in curiosity. Slowly, it stands up and starts circling me. I transform my blaster back into my servo and let it drop to my side. It keeps circling me, and I collapse of exhaustion and energon loss. I manage to stay awake but it hurts to move.

The creature starts to come closer but still keeps a certain distance away. I then remember the energon shard I found earlier. Taking it out of my subspace I reach my left servo out, letting the black beast sniff the crystal before gently taking it into its jaws and starts chewing. I put my hand on the creature's snout.

After it swallows the blue shard, it comes close enough to smell me. It sniffs my abdomen, where I had been shot and did something I thought it would never think it would do. It licked the spot of my injury. Even stranger though, it continues to lick it until the injury is covered in its saliva. The creature the moves to my right shoulder and does the same. Then, to my thigh. While it was licking my wounds, I look at the creature to see any indication of its gender.

The figure looks slim, agile, fast, strong. I'm guessing it's a femme. So, what can I name it? Nightflight or maybe Nightshadow. There's also Darknight. Or Voidwing. Yeah, Voidwing.

Before I know it, Voidwing grabs me, extends her wings, and with one big flap, takes off to Primus knows where. I hold on to one of her legs as she flies through the cave, which surprisingly is big enough for her to flap her wings in. I look around as we fly and see blue blurs as we fly. Energon!

After a moment of me hanging on for my life-cycle, we fly into an amazingly big chamber with Energon covering almost everything except for the ground and a couple places on the walls. The chamber also has a big hole on the top that lets the light in. Voidwing gently drops me and I land on my pedes but quickly fall to the ground, groaning in pain. Voidwing lands next to me. Walking towards me, she starts to lick my leg wound again

I look up. Through the hole on the top, I can see the sky getting darker and darker by the second. How long have I been here? I left in the morning and it's already evening.

I look around and see what looks like a comfy spot. Before I can come over to it and lay down Voidwing grabs me, for the second time in the last 10 minutes, and lifts me off the ground and up.

She flies over to what looks like a small cave that is big enough for both of us to move around in. Flying inside, she lands on a comfy looking spot. Before laying down she drags me over to the same spot. She lays down and puts her head on my legs. She pushes me back a little, allowing me to lean on to her.

She purrs in content when I rub her head. I smile. Resting my head against her body, I let myself slip into a rare peaceful recharge. Before the darkness consumed me, I ask myself, why? Why was she treating me like this? I guess I shall find out tomorrow.

(A/N) so what did you all think? Is it good? Please comment below I don't care if the comments are negative or positive. They both help me improve my story or if it's just a friendly comment that's also fine. I like them all.
