"Holy Shit we're all going to die."
Shockwave wandered over to Serena, lifting her to her feet effortlessly, and stared into her optics. Something he showed her caused her to either go into recharge, or simply off-line. He dropped her, his interest somewhere else.
That somewhere else happened to be me. Walking over, Shockwave picked me up by my shoulder just as easily as he did Serena. Doubling over in pain, I let out a vent of air as Shockwave injured my side. "Stand up." A harsh voice demanded. Shockwave speaking was enough to make me stand up… or at least, look up. I glanced at him, then looked back at the ground. I wasn't going to let him break me so easily. When I finally stood up on my own, Shockwave purposely walked around me to drag his claws across the cut.
I growled sharply in pain, and looked at Shockwave, promising to kill him myself. The promise strengthened when an Image I couldn't shake appeared in my mind. I was helpless to help as I was forced to watch Ironhide be murdered by Prime as all of the Autobots just stood by and watched. I couldn't move to help. "Stop Shockwave.. Primus STOP IT!" I clutched my helm in agony as he stepped back next to Megatron.
"Transport them back to my lab. They will not surrender." Shockwave demanded before walking back the way he had come.
When both armies pulled back, Ironhide entered the main hall, expecting Slipstream to be there waiting for them with Kyrix. Neither one of the were there, and Ironhide couldn't feel her over their bond. She wasn't dead, he would have gone berserk if she had died. Nothing was in order in the hall, Jazz was missing and so were Slip and Ky. Blaster was trying to get things back on track, but no one was listening to him. He just didn't have the authority to command them.
Forcing his way over to Blaster, he knew something was wrong. "Blaster, where is Jazz, Slip, and Kyrix?" Ironhide demanded. 'Where is my Femme?!' He added in his mind.
Blaster was slow to reply, Warpath beat him to it. "Jazz is in the medbay, he was trying to be everywhere at once. Crazy bot almost got himself killed. Slipstream.. She's dead. Spark ripped out of her chest by those Con Hounds. Soundwave's Hound to be exact. Saw it myself. Kyrix isn't here, but shes not dead either, or I would have found her body. Serena's gone too. Drift isn't very happy about that."
Ironhide turned around, only to find his way blocked by a smaller energetic scout. "Ironhide sir! The two Femme's are being held captive by Megatron and Shockwave. Optimus has ordered that you go to his office and stay there until he can organize a raiding party."
The scout wasn't as energetic now that Ironhide was standing over him. "What is your name scout?"
"Bumblebee sir!"
"I have a mission for you. Fine Sideswipe and Drift and wait for me outside of the gates. You wont get in trouble." Ironhide replied, twirling his cannons. Bumblebee nodded and ran off to hind them, leaving Ironhide to wonder if he should have done it.
"You know Prime is going to murder you when you get back right? He ordered you to go to his office." Blaster asked, having walked up behind Ironhide.
Ironhide just shrugged, "He's gotten used to it. I hardly follow his orders when it comes to Ky." Ironhide walked off, leaving Blaster and Warpath to get the mess in the hall under control. When I woke up, I knew where I was. The Energon stained walls gave it away. My cell wasn't that big, and with Shockwave standing in the doorway, it was that much smaller. Pulling myself into a sitting position, I could feel Shockwaves optic following my every move.
"What the pit do you want?!" I growled as I tried to make sense of it all. Megatron didn't want us dead. He either wanted information, or- Ew. Even the thought of it was repulsive. I didn't get much more time to think about it because Shockwave crossed the cell and lifted me to my feet by my neck. Knowing what Shockwave was looking for, I hid every little detail of the upcoming moves of the Autobots. I knew Shockwave was getting annoyed by how he searched my mind. At first, he was kind of nice, asking for the information. As I continued to hide the information, he grew more impatient and started demanding the information, tearing down barriers that I built up around certain memories.
Shots echoed in the hall, and Shockwave withdrew from my mind. I glanced out to see Serena blow a hole in the roof and blast off. When a con was thrown in the doorway of my cell, I crawled over and used the blade of his arm to deactivate the Energon cuffs. Once I was free of the cuffs, I tossed them back onto the body and reached up to see if my sword was still there. Naturally, it was. No one could remove the sword unless they wished to die. Only a few people could remove it from me without dying, and the Cons weren't one of them.
The only reason Ironhide could handle Dawn Bringer is because I made him able to when I bonded with him. Even the Great Autobot Leader couldn't take the Dawn from me. That's what made it so hilarious. Then again. I never really used it because I use my short swords. Also, whenever I used it, it drew strength from my spark. Plus, I didn't want anyone to mess with my sword, at first it shocks them, then it would proceed to shut down their entire body, thus killing them.
Unsheathing Dawn bringer, I crept over to the door, willing to risk everything to escape. The drones were cleaning up the mess of another drone, which looked to be ripped apart, piece by piece. I decided not to waste the swords energy on them, and sheathed Dawn. Instead, I walked up behind the drone with his back to me, and just tapped on his shoulder. When he turned, I simply kicked him the chest, throwing him back into his comrades. As they laid there stunned, I ran on to find out where my true target was hiding.
When I spotted Breakdown, I followed him. If I could find Knockout, I could force him into fixing my side so that Megatron couldn't use it as a weapon against me. As Breakdown went through a door, I slipped in behind him so closely that I thought he had seen me. I didn't see Knockout, but I knew it would only be a little while before he showed up.
I picked up one of the rods on the floor, and jumped on Breakdowns back. Before he knew what was happening, I slammed the red down on the back of his head, effectively knocking him out for the time being. I jumped down after he started to fall, but it was too late. I hit the ground on my uninjured side, and slide along the floor. "That used to be easier…" I muttered as I stood up, tossing the rod aside.
"I bet it was, Bot." Knockout said as he walked towards me. "So did you kill him?" I wasn't sure, but he almost sounded hopeful.
"You wish Knockout. Hes not dead, or even close to it. But if you want… I can kill him." I don't know why I even offered. Other than I halfway felt sorry for him. Just him though, not Breakdown. We stood there, watching each other until Knockout crossed his arms and finally asked the question.
"What do you want?" He moved closer, waiting for an answer. His optics glanced at my face, then traveled down my scarred up, gor and Energon covered body. When he found the place where the metal went into my side, he froze.
"Do something about it Knockout."
