Shadow: Finally, sorry for the long wait peeps, Frenzy hijacked my computer when I wasn't looking...
Wave: He did not you where just to lazy to get on the computer...
Frenzy: *Shakes fist chattering loudly*
Shadow: Alright, alright already yeesh. Yeah I have been kinda lazy but I can't help it. There are sooo many good stories you people have written here! Most make mine look like a preschoolers.. Enjoy..
Later that evening Megatron's roar of fury echoed threw out the base as he realized his reluctant spark-mate had escaped...
Thundercracker smirked internally as he picked up Darkwave's spark signal deep in the Rocky Mountains. Two jets one blue and tan and the other purple and tan banked and circled back, transforming into their bipedal forms before hitting the ground, both taking a few steps to absorb the momentum from their landing.
Starscream, Skywarp and himself had been looking for the wayward femme for over three weeks now. Megatron was furious and had blasted Starscream when they returned to find her gone and and him offline in return for some snide remark. Thundercracker was wakened by a kick in the side when Megatron walked in to the Command Center, his back and side armor was still dented from that encounter. The fragged off Decepticon leader had practically killed Triantulas for allowing the femme the chance to escape. Not that the seeker particularly cared the thought of that mech getting under ones armor was enough to cause any sane mech or femme to glitch.
"Starscream, I have found Darkwave I am sending you her location now…" The blue and tan camouflaged Seeker reported.
Ten minutes later Thundercracker, and Skywarp, walked down through a small valley, they froze in their tracks and raised their hands as a cold voice echoed off of the mountains around them.
"I suggest you stop right where you are because the next step will be your last."
Darkwave walked out of the shadows, a pulse rifle was aimed st spark level. its tip glow hot white with built up energy just waiting to be released.
"Easy there Wave we are just here to talk."
Thundercracker held his hands up higher trying to pacify the femme as well as showing he was unarmed.
"If you think I am going back, then you've got another thing coming. Where is your Air commander? If you are here he will not be far off?" The femme growled.
"I am right behind you."
Darkwave turned just in time to get her weapon knocked from her hands, allowing Thundercracker, and Skywarp, to grab her from behind and bring her to the ground pining her arms behind her. Starscream watched in amusement, as the three of them scuffled on the ground, Cybertronian curses that would make Ironhide blush issued form the smallest seeker as the two mechs finally secured her.
"Get the off of me you pit born slaggers!" Wave snapped struggling to get free from the seekers hold.
Her smoldering glare met Starscream's gaze. "I am going to dismantle you circuit by circuit. By time I am finished there will not be a bolt good enough to reassemble!" She screamed at him.
Starscream just smirked. "It would seem Lord Megatron made it farther in to the bonding process than we thought. You are starting to sound just like him my dear Darkwave. Not that I mind, unlike Megatron I like my mate to have a bit of pit fire in her spark. It makes berth time so much more interesting." He said walking forward his optics gazing over her form.
"What is wrong with you!? Go find another femme to bond with I will not be your play thing!" She yelled trying to pull away from Skywarp and Thundercracker.
The two larger seekers only tightened their grip on her wings and arms.
"Unfortunately you are the only known femme with in the Decepticon faction that is still functional. Look at the bright side at least you shall be bonded with a fellow seeker, one who will someday be the leader of the deception forces." He replied.
His cockpit split in two the upper half rising the bottom lowering exposing the bright light of his spark as it shone through it's casing.
"I do not want to be bonded to anyone!" She shouted.
Her struggles become more desperate as Thundercracker and Skywarp flipped her over exposing her cockpit and the spark chamber underneath.
Her cry filled the canyon along with the sound of shattering glass and bending metal as Starscream pulled her cockpit aside exposing her spark chamber.
"S-stop Starscream do not do this!" She cried, trying to pull her away as their energies started to mingle.
Skywarp paused for a second as Darkwaves stopped struggleing and slumped back, optics flickering offline.
"Umm Thundercracker… Is that suppose to happen during bonding?" The seeker asked nervously.
Thundercracker gave him a confused look then looked down at the femmes face plates. He only had enough time to say one word.
"Slag…"
Before a blue wave of energy ripped through the canyon.
Ten minutes later Darkwave's optics came online the light in their crimson depths dim and flickering as she took off, leaving the three stasis locked seekers behind.
Two months later the sound of jet engines could be heard out side a small two story house.
A teenage girl dressed in black and silver appeared in the drive way her form flickering as she walked up the stairs of the house.
"Lilly, are you there?" The hologram fizzled out for a moment before coming back.
Darkwave pulled open the door and walked in. She froze as the light in the kitchen was came on.
The femme gazed up the dark stair well towards where she knew that her charges quarters were located. Her sensors scanned every inch of the house from the outside. For some reason the youngling wasn't answering the com unit Wave had given her. The Human man standing in the door way to another room was using the frame to support him as he gazed at her with blood shot eyes.
"Who're ya, an what chya doin in ma house?" The man slurred.
"I am looking for Lilly. Tell me what is her currant location?"
The man scoffed.
"Lilly ain't here no more, she's been dead for about three months now killed'er off ma self. Da stupid brat never did what she was told was always mumblin something about bein friends wit giant robots."
Darkwave just stood there shock, sadness and anger fighting for dominance all at the same time the energy backlash was causing her circuits where overload.
"Say You's a pretty good lookin thang ya wanna go down da hall an have some fun?" The man asked stumbling towards the femme's holoform.
Right then her anger was replaced with raging fury as it took control. What was it with mechs trying to get under her armor all of a sudden? The femme slowly turned to face the human behind her just as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close, Red eyes glowed as the Lights in the house went out. The humans eye widened and he stumbled back in horror as the young woman in front of him sneered in away that turned his blood to Ice, she then flickered and vanished with a snap and hiss of sparks. His terror removing the remaining effects of alcohol from his system.
"Oh yes, fun is some thing we will be having plenty of indeed. Well, I will at any rate you on the other hand, will not enjoy it quite so much." A loud mechanical voice called from outside.
The last thing Lilies father ever say was a very angry giant alien robot, standing just outside his house before his world was filled with terror, fire, pain, then darkness.
Several moments later Darkwave sat there kneeling in the midst the burning remains of Lillies home. In her hands she held a small teddy bear, a tiny black and silver device was theaded on a string and dangled around the stuffed animals neck, the femme had it clutched to her chassis like it was the only thing keeping her in this life. She rocked back and forth, a soft keening sound rumbled from her vocal processors as memories of the short time she spent with her charge flashed across her CPU. She was unaware of anyone behind her until she felt the cold metal of a pistol mussle placed against the back of her cranial unit.
The last thing she was aware of was an unfamiliar voice saying. "I suggest you do not move. You are under arrest for the murder of Jason Elester and the destruction of human property."
Ultra Magnus, to say the least, was surprised when the Decepticon turned on him. He hadn't been expecting a femme let alone a youngling to move as fast as she had. What really caught him off guard was how dim her optics were. The next thing he was aware of was coming back online and looking up at both Ratchet and Optimus Prime. A frown embedded it's self on his face plates as he tried to sit up only to be pushed back down by the CMO.
"I don't think so… You're staying right there until your cleared by me. I don't care if you do out rank me. Move so much as twitch a servo with out my authorization and I will weld your aft to that berth." The medic told him.
"What happened?" He asked ignoring the Medics threat.
Optimus raised an optic ridge. "We were hoping you could tell us, Jazz found you next to the remains of the Elester residence. With several holes in your chassis."
"Looked like ya got ambushed by a couple Decepticons by the looks of things…" Ironhide said, walking in to the Bay .
"Ironhide if you are not in the process of off lining or already off line then I highly suggest you get out while you still have the motor functions to do so!" Ratchet growled waving around a wrench.
"Easy Ratchet, I told him to give me a report on his findings at the Elester residence." Optimus told the medic.
The large black Mech nodded. "Like I said, it looks like a bunch a Decepticons just plowed right through the place, not a thing was left standin."
Ultra Magnus tried to sit up once more before he was pushed down once more with a growl from the medics engine.
"Negative it was only one Decepticon a Seeker Femme and a youngling by the looks of things."
The mechs in the medical bay froze.
"A Femme seeker?" Ironhide asked.
The weapons specialist looked over at Optimus.
"Reports were she was taken off-line by Megatron a little over two months ago." Optimus said looking back at Magnus.
"Do you remember what she looked like?"
"Black with a silver out line. Her optics where dim as well." Came the Reply.
"She's barely conscious then, running on back up systems. It usually happens during or after a traumatic experience." Ratchet said.
"If Jazz was right and she was just toyin with us the last time then that would explain how she caught you off guard." Ironhide added.
Optimus nodded slowly. "Keep a look out for any reports of a rogue jet. The sooner we can stop her the better, the last thing we need is a rogue Decepticon on our hands."
"Got it Prime." Ironhide nodded and walked out.
Optimus turned and followed the weapons specialist, a smirk hidden behind his mask as a loud clang sounded behind him.
"I said stay down!"
Darkwave cursed slightly under her breath and yanked her claws back as sparks spewed form her other arm. She was trying to work on some disconnected wiring, after digging herself out from under a landslide of rocks that had decided she had flown long enough and tried to ground her as she flew through the ravine.
Warning lights were now constantly flashing on her HUD, informing her of low energon reserves, damaged parts, and other various things that were very wrong with her systems. She had had to disconnect her pain receptors as her wings where no longer recognizable under all the cracks and dents the now sported. Thunder crashed over head making the femme flinch and jump as it echoed through out the mountains. She cursed again as the sudden movement undid the patch she had been working on.
She crawled in to a small cavern that was just large enough to hold her sitting and hunched as the rain started pouring down. Darkwave clutched the stuffed bear as coolant leaked from her dimming optics, rain fell in sheets as the Seeker slipped in a fitful stasis.A few moments later the flash of a meteor breaking the the atmosphere brightened the sky, followed close behind by another that struck the mountain Darkwave hid under, sending another rock slide to bury the entrance.

How an organic can be a rock and be awesome at the same time is beyond me, you squishy carbon-based lifeforms make no sense what so ever.
