12. Tears: Part 2
I was stunned at the sheer strength and speed the dark blue and red femmebot in front of me was using as she dodged not only my shots, but the shots of several other decepticons. She practically danced around them with her sword, bringing it through a sophisticated pattern that send light lasershots spinning back twice as fast at the original shooter. A brown and grey cat-mech nearby trying to repair a wounded Autobot suddenly snapped at my feet as I got too close. I yelped, and stumbled away from him, aware of the fact that blood was now running down my leg. I grumbled at the cat-mech. Like I'd want that scrapped bot... I thought irritably, and attempted to go around them.
"Slag!" I shouted at the cat-mech as it swiped out at my other leg with exposed; metal claws attached to his paw. I ducked under a shot from the femme who wasn't too far away. Primus curse you, that's the Autobot City leader, cat! I silently swore at the brown-gray mech as I limped back out of reach. Deciding another attempt was needed before I lose my patience completely, I tried going around behind him. Two things happened as a result: One, the cat-mech spun around and launched at my chest with a roar; Two, I lost my patience.
With one shot from my blaster, the nuisance of a cat mech was down, whimpering at my feet from its position. Apart from the shaking ground, battle cries, and the sounds of metal on metal, a scream could be heard in the distance, "Glaviin!.!.!.!"
I turned as I realized the voice was coming towards my direction. It's that younger cat demon from Crystal City…A leap of desperation was launched at me by the other cat mech, of which I assumed was 'Glaviin'. Another shot to a vital point and he collapsed in a heap, breathing heavily and starting to die already. I sensed the presence of the other that had shouted only moments before; the shock was coursing through her systems, so much that I could almost taste it. The City leader suddenly launched an attack on me from behind, taking be from my musings, however, and I left the two cat mechs in favor of another enemy. She's too traumatized to do harm anyway... I reasoned, and began to chase the femme halfway across the battlefield...
I saw it all. He…shot… Glaviin…It can't be… were the thoughts floating and stinging at my mind, repeating with ferocity. I was oblivious to all else but his mutterings as though I were in front of him, clear as day. But I wasn't; I was to his back meters away, joints unmoving as though frozen. He was still talking in that rasping voice of his. My heart felt like it was being stabbed into pieces, quaking and shivering against the harsh truth. He…doesn't even know that I'm not there…He wants me to be there, but I can't…So this is what it feels like to abandon someone… I savagely thought. Tears flowed freely down my face, making puddles similar to Glaviin's shining blood surrounding him, slowly and agonizingly. His breathing was getting shallower, and he was on his last whim; I couldn't take it anymore. I launched forward, and in two leaps I was by his side. His cracking voice rose with more volume, as though he wanted to be heard before he faded away completely.
"Find the Leader Optimus, he can teach you to control your mech-form... Even if... he's only... an Autobot... He can help you... find yourself... once again... ..." He wheezed, his optics dimming. "Take care, little Sanura... The Autobots..." He muttered.
"Glaviin..." I began and jumped back sharply as he took a deep breath and let out a ground shaking howl.
"UNTIL ALL ARE ONE!" He roared, optics flashing one last time before dimming to nothingness. In that moment I knew, and tears flooded my black face, dripping down my thick, wire whiskers near my nose; Glaviin was no longer. I found that grief was gripping my systems again, and I slid to the ground in it's grasp. He's gone…Silence buzzed on in my mind as I lay there watching his lifeless form. After all this, he's really gone… Precious memories skated across the surface of my mind. Glaviin... You were the second father I cannot remember... All went blissfully blank as I mulled it over in my head...
The illusion of nothingness remained long after the mechs stopped running around me, blasts grazed my armor, and concerned hands on my shoulder that left moments later as Autobots passed me as they began to chase Decepticons back. My mind's shadow shattered as a black cat mech, approached Glaviin's darkened form. A rumble escaped my throat, and I narrowed my optics as I stood up on all fours. Challenge flashed in his optics as he looked at me, then proceeded to move even closer, prodding Glaviin with his paw. Shock turned to rage, and my blood boiled. "Don't you dare go near him!" I snarled, and leapt in front of him, tail whipping the air furiously. He jumped back, startled by my speed. He stood with his side to me, and his head turned to look in my optics, which were narrowed into blue, jeweled slits. He held his head high, as if he was saying he was better than me and he could beat me in battle. My tail flashed from side to side angrily, and I faintly heard Shiori shout something to someone named Star Convoy, but I didn't turn my head to see who she was calling to exactly. The black cat-like mech in front of me suddenly jumped at me, and reacting on instinct, I turned out of his way; catching him in my jaws. Almost immediately, I was biting down on his back with my fangs, intent on making every Decepticon pay for Glaviin's death- Until I felt the cat-mech's spark, defenseless, pulsing its energy at my lethal grip...
-... I rushed past the knees of a blue and white transformer; feeling my tail whip into the back of his legs. He cried out sharply... ... ... The black cat-bot before me sprang at my neck as I started to slow down... ... ... I twisted around- and caught the mech in my powerful jaws... ... ... My tightening jaws froze as I faintly felt the bot's defenseless spark pulsing weakly... ... ... It took all of my will to open my mouth and set him on the ground... ... ... A pair of yellow-orange optics stared at me fearfully, And I realized he was afraid for the mech in my jaws... ... ... I dropped the black catmech sharply, and dashed around him towards Glaviin; dodging the shot fired at me... ... ...-
Shocked from the repeated memory rush, I dropped him. I heard him yelp in pain, and I tilted my head at his quivering form to find that when he was laying down, he barely reached halfway up my foreleg in height. He's so small... I thought wonderingly. And pretty lethal... That thought snapped me back to attention, though something in me refused to kill him. Coming to a compromise with my system and my spark, I picked him up by the scruff of his metal neck and went hunting for the blue and white mech from earlier...
