The battle had been fairly short. The rest of Shockwave's Guard charged at Elita. She easily dodged their first wave of attacks. She ducked out of the way when one soldier swiped a blade at her, then spun and slashed his neck with her fan.

Two more shot at her. She maneuvered her way out of the way, then closed her fans and threw right at their foreheads. The two troops fell to the ground, and Elita sprinted over to pluck her weapons from their shells to make her way over to the rest of the soldiers.

Then, when her back was turned, one soldier managed to see the opening and drove a dagger through the back of Elita's shoulder. She reacted quickly, spinning around and hitting the soldier, twisting his neck.

Elita took a brief moment to remove the blade from her shoulder. She winced as she pulled it out.

Hang on. That's odd. Why everything beginning to spin. Elita looked at the blade in her now blurry servo. It was covered with an odd green fluid.

"Tox-En." She stated as she began to falter.

"Indeed. A diluted bit. Not strong enough to kill, but just enough to knock you unconscious." Shockwave explained.

"No." Elita replied as she ran at Shockwave and his men once again. The poison was seeping through her systems, weakening her movements, blurring her vision, and just slowing her down in general. She still managed to fight through it for a bit longer, ridding the universe of five more Decepticons before she collapsed.

She weakly lifted her hand to her comm. link communicator as Shockwave and his Guard walked over to her.

[Chromia.] she called.

[Elita! I'm coming back!] Chromia replied. [I called for Ironhide and his squad. The younglings are safe!]

[No. If Ironhide is there. Blow this place to the Pit.] Elita said.

[No fragging way! We are coming!] Chromia exclaimed.

[Chromia. Big sister. Please. Do not allow any of these unnatural doings remain. Destroy it. All of it.] Elita stammered before losing consciousness completely.

[Elita? Elita! Little sister answer me! Frag!] Chromia shouted. She took a moment before turning to her love.

"Hey 'Mia. Y'okay? Ya ready ta go?" Ironhide asked.

"No. Elita wants us to blow the place sky high." Chromia stated. "Can you do it?"

"Say what? No way! Well, actually yes I can. But there ain't no way I'm doin' it!" Ironhide exclaimed.

"Ironhide. Elita sounded sick. I don't think that she's getting out of this. Not today anyway." Chromia said.

Ironhide looked like he was about to argue again, but he seemed to think better of it as he saw Chromia's distressed expression.

"Alright." He said.

"We'll get you back Elita. I swear." Chromia vowed.

Back down in the laboratory, Shockwave had his men drag Elita One away.

"You cost me nearly thirty stellar cycles of research, all my test subjects, and now my base of operations. You had better hope that you yield results Elita One." Shockwave spoke.

Elita woke up in a dark room with a small window as its only source of light. There were energy bonds around her wrists and ankles.

Her head shot up. Where was she? How did she get here? Then she remembered. Shockwave's lab. The younglings. She had told Chromia to destroy the place, but had she?

Elita's thoughts were interrupted when a drones voice announced, "She is online."

A door slid open, and in walked Shockwave, flanked by two of his Guard.

"If you're going to kill me hurry up and do it already." Elita spat.

"But I am not going to kill you Elita One. Since you destroyed everything I've been working for, it is only fit that you aid me in the continuation of my research." Shockwave replied.

"Like the Pit I will!" Elita exclaimed.

"I am afraid that you don't have a choice in the matter." Shockwave stated. "Bring her."

Shockwave turned and began to walk away as his two drones took hold of Elita's arms and dragged her after Shockwave.

She fought against their grip but she was still weak from the Tox-En poisoning.

They led her to a room with a diagonal med-berth.

"What do you plan to do with me?" Elita demanded.

"Lord Megatron would be incredibly disappointed if I didn't yield any information about the Autobot faction while you are in my custody." Shockwave said. "I am going to perform a Cortical Psychic Patch."

"I've heard of this. Your little machine here does scare me in the slightest. I trained for so many stellar cycles under the great Master Yoketron. Both my mind and my body are well defended. Go ahead and just try to get anything out of me." Elita told them.

"Let's test that shall we?" Shockwave replied as his soldiers strapped Elita down to the berth and connected her to the Patch generator. "Shall we begin then?"

Elita was subjected to the Cortical Psychic Patch for about 2 hours. It seemed that Elita One was more than just all talk. She actually managed to fight against the power of the Patch. However, when Shockwave brought her out, she was absolutely exhausted.

"Not revealing any information is unfortunate, but with you weakened, that should make the next procedure much easier." Shockwave stated.

"Wh-what...procedure?" Elita rasped. Shockwave didn't answer as he opened a compartment and brought out a tray of several tools and data pads. He handed a single data pad to one of his troops.

"Record everything. I want every bit of information that is revealed to be logged." Shockwave ordered.

He walked over to the tray of tools, removed a scalpel and a pair of tweezers, Shockwave walked over to Elita and began the procedure.

Elita One's screams could be heard throughout the facility.

After enduring four hours of torture, she was dragged and then thrown back into her cell. Energon was seeping through several wounds around her chassis. Every day, for such a long length of time Elita went through that.

Shockwave would interrogate Elita with the Cortical Psychic Patch. Tearing her mind apart as she continued to fight against it. Then he would experiment on her. Connecting her to terrifying machines and toying with her very spark. He said that he was making far greater progress with her than he ever did with the younglings. After he was done with that she was thrown back into her cell waiting for it to begin all over again.

Then one day, she broke.

Oh no Elita One! How did she get outta this one?
