* Inside Elite Guard ship *

Every bot was deep in recharge in the Elite guard ship. Not a sound could be heard, except the soft humming of the machines inside the ship. Every bot was deep in recharge, except for Jetfire, who kept himself awake by panicking.

What did I do? What did I do? I just ruined every chance I had with her! She probably hates me! Did she return the wave? I can't even remember! What is happening to me? I did this without thinking, it just happened! I can't go back and se her tomorrow! How do I know that she's not trying to avoid me? I guess I have to wait until tomorrow and find out. What am I going to do?

* Autobot base *

Shadow woke up with a yawn; she turned around and saw her alarm clock reading 5:00 A.M. Her eyes widened, but then went back to normal, and she got up from her bed, making sure not to make any noise, so she wouldn't wake the others. She activated her thrusters, making no sound, and flew her way in to the kitchen like area. There she landed with a silent thump. She grabbed a small can of oil and took a small sip, just to try. She ended up drinking a third of it.

She made her way to the roof of the base and sat down; her legs were in a crisscross way, her back against a random box, and relaxed. She took beep breaths and closed her eyes. Enjoying the first warm sunrays, with a small content smile. She had three hours to spear, so she enjoyed them in her own way. To any one it would look like she was meditating, but she was just enjoying being outside.

Well, time flies while you're having fun. When she opened her eyes, it was already 7:30 A.M. She stood up and stretched her arms and legs, feeling relaxed. Suddenly a wave of sadness hit her, which came out of nowhere. Her vision became cloudy and she fell to her knees, and her chest started to feel heavy. Then she fell face first on the floor of the roof.

* Inside memory *

"Mother, vhere are vou? Mother?"

Blitzwing was looking inside a house, which took a lot of damage. Its two floors were begging for repairs. The ground floor was the worst. It had holes on the walls; some of the walls were blown off, many things were destroyed. Same with the second floor, but it wasn't as bad as the second floor.

"Mother please answer me!"

His voice now sounding desperate; he heard a loud moan coming from the other room, and he ran towards it.

"Mother!"

In front of him was Swiftwind laying down on the floor, badly wounded, puddles of energon were formed around her. He went on his knees and lifted his mother's head.

"Mother please!"

She reached out and placed a trembling servo on his cheek and wiped away an energon tear.

"Blitzwing…You know I will always… be with you… I love…"

She turned grey before she could finish her sentence.

"Mother please vait! Mother no vou can't leave me! Mother please! Please! Mother!"

He brought her lifeless body close to him in a hug, and he cried. His energon tears falling on her now grey face. His face changed to Random who was bawling, many more tears fell than Icy. He brought her face close to his and placed his forehead on hers.

"Mommy please! Please zhow me our zmile again. Please. Please."

The last please he said in a whisper that only he could hear. Then his face changed to Hothead.

"Mother, I vill make the autobot vho did this to vou pay. I promise mother, I promise."

He, only let one tear leave, but that was all it took. Then many loud footsteps were heard, coming towards him. An autobot, red and white, came towards him, and placed a servo on his shoulder. His face changed to Random, and he turned his face around to see the autobot.

"Please, youngling, you have to leave."

NO! I von't leave, not again! Vou can't make me!"

"Please listen to me! You have to go, or else they will make you leave, by force."

"They can try vhat ever they vant, I von't leave her! This is all my vault!"

His face then changed to Icy.

"Please youngling listen to me!"

"NO! I von't listen! I von't let them take her away!"

Then two more autobots came running inside.

"Youngling we have orders, come with us." One of them said.

"NO!"

The two new arrivals then pulled Blitzwing away, and forced him to stand up. Then they held him by his arms, and started to pull him away from his mother's corpse, and outside the room.

"Mother! No I can't leave vou! Not again! Mother! NO!"

* End memory *

Shadow woke up with a start, her face stained with energon tears. She lost her mother, and she saw it, by Blitzwing's eyes. More energon tears came, but she wiped them away. She checked her clock 8:00 A.M. She was going to be late for training.

She activated her thrusters, and made a quiet decent. Once landing, she ran to Prowl's room, but stopped in front of the door. Shadow took a deep breath and knocked on the door. It slid open and Prowl stood in front of it.

"You're late."

"Sorry, I over slept."

"Well, I hope you enjoyed that extra sleep, because we aren't going to start training."

"Wait. What!"

"You heard me. Instead you're going to fight against Bumblebee, to see were fighting skills are. We will see from there."

"Where's Bumblebee?"

"Waiting for us outside."

Prowl walked outside of the room, Shadow following him. They arrived outside where they were greeted by Bumblebee and the rest of the autobots, including Sari.

"I wasn't expecting all of you to be awake."

"Well, this is a special occasion."

Bumblebee, Shadow, make your way your the middle. The rules are simply, no off lining each other or destroying each other. The first bot to lie on the floor for five nanoclick looses. Ready? Set? GO!"

Prowl retreated to where the other bots were and observed the fight. Bumblebee was shooting her with his stingers, but somehow she managed to dodge them. Coming close to him, Shadow gave him a kick in the stomach, which pushed him away and made him land on his aft. He got up and ran towards her, stingers ready, he shot at her, and it hit her on her chest. Making her crash on the wall. She shook her head and stood up.

"You want the big guns, you've got them."

She then started trying to blast him with her lasers. He was having a hard time dodging them, but he still wasn't getting hit. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on her helm, and she placed both servos on her head. Bumblebee took this chance and blasted her with both his stingers, blasting her into a wall.

Shadow groaned, but she then opened her eyes, and they were a darker shade of red. A sinister grin was painted on her face. Her servos had now claws and the end her fingers. She smiled revealing her teeth and four sharp fangs. On her back were now two purple jet wings and on her chest was a deceptacon insignia. The autobots eyes widened in surprise.

Shadow activated her thrusters and started to shoot him from the air. Finally one hit him on the back of the helm. Shadow flew close to the floor and towards him, and punched him on the stomach. Still in the air, she picked him up and flew a little bit higher and letting him fall and pushed him to fall faster with a kick on the stomach, and a powerful laser blats. He hit the floor with a loud smash.

Shadow landed on the floor and made she made her way next to the near unconscious Bumblebee. She placed a foot on his chest and started to load up an energy blast.

"Any last words autobot? You should be honored, your spilled energon will be the prove that my master's work wasn't done for nothing. All hail Megatron."

Before she could do anything, Ratchet lifted her up in the air.

"Shadow what's wrong with you?"

"Don't you see autobot? I'm finally free." She said in a sinister voice, much different from her usual voice.

She then somehow broke free from Ratchet's control, but stayed in the air. She turned around and saw Prowl coming towards her. She grinned and shot a laser at him, only to discover that he disappeared. Confused, she failed to notice that the real Prowl was behind her before to late, when he send her flying in to a near by wall. She got up and growled and them, but then her eyes changed instead of red, they were purple, but then back to red.

"NO! You won't imprison me any more! I'm free, there's nothing you can do about it!"

But her eyes continued to change color, as if, some one was fighting her, from the inside.

"NO! Stop it! You can't take me away! NO!"

Then her eyes went static and she fell face first on the floor. Her servos turned back to normal, and her wings, disappeared inside her back. Ratchet was busy fixing Bumblebee's injuries from the nasty fall he took.

"Ratchet, will Bumblebee be okay?"

"Don't worry Sari. He just has some nasty scrapes and a few tangled circuits, nothing to serious. Luckily that blast didn't hit him in the spark chamber."

"What did you think happened to Shadow?"

"I don't know. But we're going to find out. There. He's all done, he'll wake up when he wants."

Ratchet made his way towards Shadow, and scanned her.

"Prime you should come and see this."

Optimus rushed over to where Ratchet was.

"Shadow, has two sides. The Shadow we know, and that deceptacon. But her sides are locked inside her processor; I understand why she said she was free. The Shadow we know was in control when we met her, but when Sari upgraded her, it was her deceptacon side's chance to break free. It managed to gain control until now."

Suddenly a bright light started shinning from the holographic image that Ratchet produced from his arm. He noticed this and looked down to see what was the problem, his eyes widened.

"Prime help me get her inside. NOW!"

Optimus picked her up and ran inside the warehouse following Ratchet.

"Ratchet what's wrong?"

"Her processor took some serious damage when, her personalities were fighting to take control."

"How much damage?"

"Enough damage to off line her, I got to work quick. Where's Sari? We need her key!"

"I'm right here Ratchet!"

"Hurry kid she doesn't have much time!"

Ratchet picked her up and put her in front of Shadow.

"Well, I hope this doesn't make her go berserk."

She placed her key on her chest and after a shinning light disappeared, Shadow got up filled with energy.

"Hey there autobots! What's hanging? He he. Oh! A fleshling! Hey there squishy! HEHEHEHEHEHE!"

"Um, Shadow is you okay?"

"You silly bot! I'm not Shadow, I'm Glitter!"

"Glitter?"

"Yeah, like my paint job!"

They starred at her and saw that she was now white and pink, her eyes were pink and she looked like she was indeed covered in glitter.

"What happened to Shadow?"

"Well she got knocked out after her fight with Nightshade."

"Wait. Nightshade?"

"Yeah, the scary, crazy deceptacon one."

"So, if she's deceptacon, what are you?"

"An autobot of course! Wee!"

"You're an autobot?"

"Sure thing boss bot!" She said with a wink.

Then her paint job changed in a nanoclick showing Shadow, except her eyes were purple.

"What the slag was that?"

"Um, Shadow. You might want to take a seat.

* Time jump *

"So I have two other personalities called Nightshade and Glitter. One is a deceptacon and the other an autobot. Well, I guess I'm neutral."

"So, this personality is neutral?"

"Yes."

I don't know how it happens this fast, but her paint job switched to Nightshade.

"And if you autobot scum have a problem with that, you got to face me."

She changed once more.

"Bye see ya all later! Wee!"

She activated her thrusters and flew away full speed, Optimus and Ratchet stayed behind starring at where Glitter just was. Then Bumblebee came running in, covered in water.

"Guys, the Jettwins are here."

They two autobots just continued to stare into space, trying to puzzle back together what just happened in the last minutes.

"Guys, did you listen to what I said?"

"Sorry Bumblebee I think I missed it. What is it?"

"Well, the Jettwins are here!"

The three bots made their way to the TV room and found the Jettwins busy talking to Sari, who was sitting on Jetstorm's shoulder.

"So here on Earth we have many types of Holidays."

"Fascinating! What is the closest holiday from now?"

"Well that will be Thanksgiving."

'Thanksgiving? Is it the day were you say thanks?"

"Almost Jetstorm, it's the day we give thanks for what we have."

"And what do you do to give thanks?"

"Good question. Well, me and my dad have a big dinner, but I guess this year, we're spending it with the autobots."

"Uh, can we come?"

"Yeah! That will be awesome!"

"Hey Sari!"

"Hey there Bumblebee!"

"Sari, where are you?"

"Right here!"

Sari waved from Jetstorm's shoulder.

"Um, Sari what are you doing on Jetstorm's shoulder?"

"No worries! We were having trouble hearing her, so up here, we can hear her better?"

"Well, how come I can hear her, Jetstorm?"

"That's because you are used to hearing organics. We are used to hearing cybortronian, who speak much louder, but it might take some time to get used to."

"Yeah right!"

"Yes, you are correct."

Sari giggled, and Bumblebee and Jetstorm were looked in a glare fight, to see which one would back down first. Jetstorm's view hardened, making him look quiet menacing. Bumblebee did the same thing. Then out of nowhere Jetstorm released a death glare, which threw Bumblebee off his game, which made him soften his look.

"Ha!" declared Jetstorm.

Bumblebee growled at his defeat and walked out of the room.

"What's up with him?"

"I don't know Sari, maybe he was just jealous of my flying ability."

"I don't think so Jetstorm." Sari giggled.

"Hey, Sari, you want to go for a fly?"

"You mean I can ride a jet? Heck Yeah!"

Jetstorm put Sari in his servos, walked outside and transformed into his jet form.

"Hold on!"

Then he flew up into the sky full speed.

"This is AWESOME!"

"So Jetfire you want to play some video games?"

"Sure thing Bulkhead."

* Back to Shadow, Nightshade and Glitter *

"Wee! I can fly!"

"Of course you can fly you stupid glitch head!"

"Hey, stop bothering her Nightshade!"

"You're not the boss of me!"

"Yeah, but I know some one who is."

"No, you can't tattle tale on me!"

"Yeah, I can! You keep bothering Glitter and I'll tell brother!"

"Which brother? Only one is the boss of me and no one else!"

"Oh, I know who that is. So shut it or I'll tell big brother."

"Fine, but that doesn't mean I don't hate both of you!"

Then she changed to Shadow and opened up the common link.

"Hello?"

"Hey there brother!"

"Shadow! How are vou?"

"Awesome! Can you tell my where the base is, because I'm on my way."

"Vait, vou can't come here!'

"Yes I can puny bot! Try to stop me!"

"Vho are vou calling puny shorty!"

"Glitch head!"

"Vell I least I don't have my processor in the scrap heap!"

"Aft for chin!"

"Oh, no vou didn't!"

"Oh, yes I did! Bring you over sized tin can!"

"Vill both of you just shut up!"

"Sorry about that. Well, can you tell me the location of the base?"

"Fine, I'm sending them right now."

"Got them, I'm almost there."

"Hey there zizzy!"

"Hey there BB"

"Shut up Random! BB?"

"Stands fro Big Bro! Don't you remember Blitzy?"

"Glitter!"

"Tehe! The one and only!"

"That means that the one before was Nightshade!"

"Yup! I thought you would figure it out because of all that screaming!"

"Glitter! My partner in pranks, vhere vere vou all this time!"

"Looking for unicorns! HEHE!"

"Vell at least I'm not the only one insane! HAHAHA!"

"Hey I see you BB, you look so small! You're the size of an ant! Wait I'm coming down! WEEEE!"

Glitter landed near where Blitzwing was standing, so she ran towards him with open arms.

"BLITZY!"

"ZIZZY!"

They went running towards each other, but Glitter tripped and fell face first on the ground.

"HAHAHAHA! Walk much zizzy!"

"HEHE! No! I fly brother!

She activated her thrusters and hovered over the ground.

"So do I! HAHA!"

They both flew up in the air and started playing a game of tag. They were acting like two little kids who hadn't seen each other in millenniums.

"You can't catch me! You can't catch me!"

"Vatch me zizzy!"

"AH! Not the tickles!"

"Yes the tickles!"
"No! HAHAHAHA! My weakness!"

"Vou can't defeat me and the tickles!"

"Oh yeah? TICKLE FIGHT! HEHEHE!"

"No stop! HAHAHA! The tickles! HAHAHA!"

The air was filled with laughter, it was a wonderful sight. Until some one had to ruin the moment.

"Blitzwing shut up!"

"Come on, don't be a poop Screamer!"

"Is there some one with you?"

"Yes me!"

"Shadow!"

"No Glitter!"

They both landed on in front of Starscream and they both changed to their calm personality.

"Hey there Starscream."

"Brother, this is Shadow, our zister."
