Hey Guys! Thank you so much for ready and following this story! I hope you're enjoying it so far, stay tuned for more future chapters! I don't own Transformers Animated.

"Vou also don't own us."

"Yeah, I know."

"No one owns Starscream!"
"Whatever."

"But she does own us!"

"Yes, Shadow, Glitter and Nightshade are the only ones I own."

"Why did you put me and Shadow togeth-"

* Covers his mouth *

"Shh, don't question greatness."

"Brother are you-"

*Sees Jetfire *

"I'm not going to ask."

"Okay back to the story."

Thought

Common Link or flash back/memory

"Hey brother! Wait up!"

Blitzwing was leaving the cave but turned around when he heard his name.

"Vell, hello sister. I thought vou vere vith Blackarachnia."

"Yes, but I just wanted to know where you were off to."

"Vell, I'm just going to fly around, might look vor some All spark fragments."

"Can I come?"

"Of course. But first can I ask vou a question?"

"Sure."

"Vhen vere vou going to tell me about Jetfire?"

Shadow's eyes widened.

"How…who told you?"

"I heard vou tell Blackarachnia. He's an autobot! Vhat vere vou thinking?"

"You were spying on me! What were you thinking?"
"I just vant to keep vou safe!"
"BY invading my privacy! Way to go Blitzwing!"
"Vou told Blackarachnia and not me! I have the right to know!"
"I didn't tell you because I knew you would react this way!"

"I'm doing this to protect vou!"

"From what?"

"From the autobots! They're evil!"
"Well maybe you haven't met one!"
"I had my experience vith autobots! I vill never trust one!"

"What did they do to you that was so bad? You just fight each other!"

"NO! We don't just fight each other! They are the true liars and deceivers! They think that everything they do is good! But they are lying! I have seen vhat they do to vou, they are as heartless as ve are!"

"NO! They're not!"
"Yes they are!"

"How do you know?"
"They are the ones that did this to me! They made me a freak!"

Shadow just stared at him with wide eyes; he put a hand over his mouth, realizing what he just said.

"You told me that it was an all spark fragment that made you like this, that Hothead and Random where your brothers. You lied to me."

Blitzwing looked down at the floor.

"Yes, I did. But I had to."

"You're the one I can't trust, everything you told me were lies."

"So, now vou're going to cry to that autobot?"

"Yes, I am!"
"He vouldn't approve."

"Who?"

"Megatron!"

"He has nothing to do with this!"

"He has everything to do with this!"
"Why?"

"Because he's your father!"

"He…he's my father? You told me my parents were dead!"

"I had to tell vou, they were orders."

"Tell me everything! The truth I want to know! You have to tell me."
"I can't! I swore upon the All spark to never tell vou the truth!"

"Then I'm going to find out and the autobots are going to help me."

"Good luck. Cause vhen vou tell them that the leader of the Deceptacons is vour father, they vill be villing to help."

"They will help me, they are my friends."

"I must varn vou. If vou find anything about vourself and vour parents, let me tell vou, vou vill hate the autobots as much as I do."

"No I von't, I will never."

"Ve'll see about that."

Shadow transformed into her jet mode and flew off into the sky.

"That didn't go well."

"Vhat do vou vant Blackarachnia?"

"So, you told her."

"It vas an accident. It vas never meant t o happen."

"What surprises me is that the two of you were arguing with your calm personas. I wonder why the others didn't come out."

Blitzwing didn't know what to say, it was true, Icy and Shadow were arguing instead of Hothead and Nightshade. It was rather curious that they didn't even show themselves or wanted their presence known.

"Vhatever. Right now I'm vorried about Shadow. If she finds out vhat the autobots did to her past. Vell I have a feeling that things von't turn out to be pretty."

"It's good that you worry about you're sister. If only those two autobots worried enough about me, I wouldn't have to be like this."

Blitzwing put a servo on her shoulder.

"I know that the autobots abandoned vou, but vou have to know that ve are deceptacons and ve always stand together and ve leave no one behind."

"You know I'm starting to think that deceptacons are surprisingly more loyal than autobots."

Blitzwing gave her a small smile.

"Vell I'm going back inside, this organic weather is rather strange. These white things fall from the sky and it's cold."

"It's called snow and yes it's cold."

"Vou are shivering, vou should probably go inside too."

"Yeah, my organic side doesn't really like the cold."

*Inside autobot bas *

Shadow arrived at the base and ran inside the TV room.

"Guys I need your help!"

Everybody stopped what they were doing and paid attention to what Shadow had to say. Optimus stepped forward.

"What is it Shadow?"

"Well, I don't know how to say this."

"What is it already you're wasting my time!"
"Quiet Sentinel! Let her take her time. What is it you were going to say?"

"If I tell you I need you all to promise me that you won't be mad and that you'll help me."

"I promise Shadow."

"So do we!"

"We also promise!"
"What about you Sentinel?"

"Fine, I promise."

"Okay, so I just found out who my dad is."

"Really? Shadow that's awesome!"

"I know Bee, but it's not as awesome as you think."

"Why?"
"Because, well. Megatron is my dad."

"HAHAHA! Good one Shadow!

"I'm not joking."

"Shadow you can't be serious! How did you discover this?"
"Well, my adopted brother told me."

"Who is your brother? Maybe if you tell us, we can talk to him."

"Well, he's Blitzwing."

"WHAT!"

"I knew you wouldn't take this well."

"Of course we wouldn't take this well, he's a DECEPTACON! He's bad news!"
"Funny, he told me the same thing about you. He said that you couldn't be trusted, that you were the real liars and deceivers. That you were as heartless as a deceptacon."

"He said WHAT!"

"Calm down Bumblebee. Let Shadow explain."

"You're telling me to calm down boss bot! You should be panicking!"

"Shadow you shouldn't have told them about Blitzwing."

"You KNEW!"
"Um… Yes."

"Why you little-"

"Leave him alone Sentinel! You're fight's with me!"

"I'm in charge of you! You have to tell me everything you know about the deceptacons!"

"I said leave him alone!"

Shadow stood in front of Jetfire and Sentinel.

"Get out of my way deceptacon!"

Sentinel pushed Shadow aside.

"You want a deceptacon fine."

Shadow switched to Nightshade and took out her katana and charged at Sentinel.

"Sentinel watch out!"
Sentinel turned around and took his sword just in time to stop Nightshade's attack. She swung her katana at him, but he blocked with his shield. Sentinel pushed Nightshade away with his shield and he started to swing his sword at her, but she dodged and blocked. Then Nightshade kicked Sentinel away and swung her katana at him, he dodged but got scratched on the arm.

"You'll pay for that!"
"Make me!"

They were about to attack each other when; a fireball hit Sentinel and Nightshade was pushed away by a gust of wind.

"Both of you stop!"
"You two are acting like sparkling's!"

"He was asking for it!"

"She did the first move!"
"Both of you QUIET!"
Everybody stopped talking and turned around to face Prowl. Nightshade changed to Glitter.

"Sorry."

"Sentinel apologies."

"There's no way I'm apologizing to some deceptacon scum."

Glitter had a hurt expression in her face, but that quickly changed to one of anger.

"That's it! You're dead!"

She punched Sentinel in the face taking him by surprise and then kicked him in the stomach sending stumbling backwards. Everybody was shocked that the most innocent of the three of them could have so much anger. She continued to punch the hell out of Sentinel, but she stopped when she blasted him and made him fall on the ground. Then she took out Shadow's twin daggers and banged them together making them transform into a scythe. The handle was long, but the blade was over sized. (Kinda looks like the ones you see in anime) Before Glitter could do anything Sentinel activated his shield and sword. She swung her scythe at him, but missed entirely. Finally Ratchet levitated her with his rays.

"Hey! Let me go! I have to terminate this Glitch head! Let me go!"
Glitter started to try to find a way to get out.

"Ha! Serves you right you little piece of scum! Not so big and powerful now!"

Glitter's scythe was lying on the ground under Glitter's feet. Sentinel walked over tried to pick it up, but when he touched him, it sent him an electric shock.

"That's mine! And you can't touch it! Let me go Ratchet!"

"Not until you calm down."

Glitter then switched into Shadow and stopped fighting.

"There I'm calm."

Ratchet put her back on the ground; she picked up the scythe, which turned into her daggers at contact and walked towards her room but stopped at the door.

"If you don't want to help me find about my past fine, I'll do that myself."

Then she turned to face Sentinel.

"This isn't over."

Then she walked to her room and slammed the door shut. She lay down on her bed and closed her eyes hopping to get some sleep.

* Inside confusing but important dream *

Shadow was inside a base, it was dark, but there were some lights, but it was still dark. She was walking around a hallway. The more she walked the more it felt familiar. A bot then ran passed her and she decided to follow. The bot entered a large room that looked like a meeting room. They're where other bots they're looking at the front of the room. She walked to the front of the room and saw Megatron; a younger Megatron, but he still looked like the one everybody described. Standing next to him was a femme with a sparkling in her hands. The sparkling was sleeping, but then it opened it's eyes; revealing that they were the color purple. Shadow recognized it immediately; it was her as a baby. Megatron was busy talking to the other Deceptacons, but she couldn't hear what he was saying. In the crowd she saw many different bots that she's never seen before. Suddenly a scout ran in and this time she could hear him.

"Lord Megatron! The autobots they found the base, they're on their way here!"

Megatron then started shouting orders to the bots and they all ran out of the room, then Megatron turned to face the femme.

"I need you to go hide."

"I can't leave you here alone with the autobots!"

"I know, but I need you to protect her."

Megatron then rubbed the baby's head making it squeal in joy. They heard a bang.

"Hurry go!"

The femme ran out of the room and Shadow followed. The femme ran down the halls. Then a scout stopped them.

"Fireshot!"

"Silverwing! Come, Lord Megatron told me to take you to the bunker."

"Lead the way!"

The scout led them through a series of corridors and stairs. Until finally they reached a small room.

"You'll be safe here. I have to go now. Don't worry, we'll keep both of you safe."

"Thank you Fireshot."

The scout closed the door and ran back to join the battle. Gunshots and shouts were heard.

"I hope he's okay."

The sparkling gave her a confused look. A loud bang was heard and the femme hugged the sparkling closer. Then loud footsteps were heard coming closer to their location. The femme hid the sparkling in a corner under a small table.

"Stay here okay, mom's going coming back."

"Gah."

"It's okay Shadow."

The femme ran to the front of the door and took out her daggers. The door was blasted open and autobots ran inside. The femme started to fight them.

"Go check the other bunkers, I'll take care of this deceptacon."

The rest of the autobots went outside leaving a scout. Shadow's eyes widened when she recognized the scout. It was Sentinel but in a much younger form. They both started fighting. Shadow wanted to go help the femme, but she couldn't move. Then she heard a small scream. Then to her horror, she saw Sentinel stab the femme. The femme fell down to the ground and her colors faded. Sentinel was making his way out of the room, when all of the sudden the sparkling started to scream. Sentinel located the source of the screaming and he picked up the sparkling. An older autobot came inside the room and he took the sparkling from Sentinel.

"Autobots back up needed!"

Sentinel and the other bot ran out of the room with the sparkling. They were making their way out of the base when Megatron stopped them. When the sparkling saw him, it squealed with joy. The older bot handed the sparkling to Sentinel.

"Go, run I'll keep him busy."

Sentinel ran out, Megatron was going to go after him, but was blocked by the other bot. They both started fighting, but Megatron easily defeated him. He then ran after the scout but then was surrounded by a group of autobots. He started to fight them, but the scout was getting away.

"Shadow! I'll find you! I swear!"

* End of dream *

Shadow was still sleeping but she was shouting in her sleep,

"Mom! Dad! NO!"

She woke up immediately and stood up leaving her bed. She changed to Nightshade and took out her katana; her eyes were blazing with anger.

"All the autobots they're dead. I'll kill them all!"

She walked out of her room and towards the common room. When she reached the common room Sari ran over.

"Hey Nightshade are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Step aside, this won't take long."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you'll find out."

Bumblebee ran in.

"Hey Nightshade! Did you survive the argument?"

"The question is are you going to survive this?"

"What?"

Nightshade swung her katana at him catching him by surprise, he moved out of the way just in time, but managed to get a deep scratch on the chest; that immediately started to bleed.

"Hey! What was that for?"

Nightshade grinned and continued to swing her sword at him, but this time he was ready and dodged.

"Nightshade stop! What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. I'll be perfectly fine once I terminate all of you autobot scum!"

Bumblebee took out his stingers and started firing at her, but she was able to dodge every single one of them. She continued to dodge until she fired a shot at him, he dodged but it hit a wall instead and it left a huge whole. She blasted the roof leaving a whole. She activated her boosters and charged at Bumblebee. He continued to fire at her but she dodged. She continued to charge at him and then gave him a punch in the face.

"BUMBLEBEE! Guys HELP!"

Nightshade continued to punch Bumblebee and then she kicked him on the chest sending him flying backwards and he hit the wall. She deactivated her thrusters and walked towards him and took her katana and stabbed him in the arm. Bumblebee screamed in pain. Energon started flowing out of his arm and onto the floor.

"Please stop! What did I do?"

"You? Oh, nothing but you're fellow autobots did and since they're not here, you get the blame and the punishment."

She pushed the sword deeper into his arm causing more energon to flow and a scream from Bumblebee.

"Nightshade STOP!"

Nightshade turned around and saw Optimus with his ax out. She took out her sword from Bumblebee's arm.

"Make me."

Then she cut Bumblebee's arm off causing an ear-shattering scream of pain. A large amount of energon was on the floor and flowing out of what was left of Bumblebee's arm.

"Ratchet we need you NOW! Take the other's with you."

"What's wrong Prime afraid of a little energon spill?"

"Nightshade what's wrong with you? Why are you doing this?"

"Nothing's wrong with me I'm perfectly fine. It's just a little pay back."

Sentinel then came running in.

"What did you do?"

"You."

"Why you deceptacon scum."

"You're right I am a deceptacon."

She changed to Glitter and she grabbed her insignia and threw it on the floor.

"See! Told you she was a deceptacon!"
"Care to tell them how you know?"

"What are you talking about?"

Glitter changed back to Nightshade and she took out her katana.

"Don't play games with me Sentinel. Tell them what happened at the deceptacon base."
"What deceptacon base? They were many of them."
Nightshade's hands started to unleash this purple energy that kinda looked like if she was holding purple fire. It started to spread to her sword and her arms.

"The one where you killed a femme and stole a sparkling."

His eyes widened.

"Sentinel what is she talking about?"

Ratchet ran in and saw Bumblebee bleeding. He rushed over and started to patch him up.

"Hey! That's my kill!"

Nightshade ran over to Ratchet but then Prowl kicked her away.

Then the purple fire was covering all of her body.

"You're going to pay for that. But right now I have some one else to worry about."

She turned around and charged at Sentinel but Ratchet stopped her with his rays.

"Let me go! I have to offline him! He has to pay! I must have to avenge them!"

The rest of the bots came in.

"What happened here?"

"Shadow did you do this?"
"The name's Nightshade remember it!"

"Ratchet is Bumblebee going to be okay."
"Well, he lost a lot of energon, but I managed to make it stop. We just need to find him another arm."

"Release me!"

"So what happened here?"

"Yeah what happened?"

"Where's Sari?"

"Right here."

Nightshade lifted her arm and Sari was trembling in her hand.

"Guys HELP! She's gone insane!"

"Don't you know? I was always insane!"

She changed to Glitter and started laughing hysterically.

"Let's make a deal. You let me go and I give this fleshling back."

She started throwing Sari back and forth in her hands.

"Quit doing that. I'm getting dizzy."
Glitter caught her and stopped throwing her.

"We accept only if when we release you, you have to leave."

"Deal."

Ratchet placed her on the floor slowly making sure she wasn't going to play any tricks on them.

"Release Sari."
"Okay."

She let Sari fall to the ground but was caught just in time by Optimus.

Nightshade walked out of the base and activated her thrusters. She flew up in the air but she turned and shot then a huge blast.

"WATCH OUT"

The blast hit the base making a huge hole.

"Have fun HAHAHA!"

She transformed into her jet form and left the place at full speed.

Merry Christmas guys! And Happy New Year!
