Hey Guys! You might have noticed that I didn't write a Christmas special and I'm sorry but it just doesn't fit right now in the story. I'm sorry there's no Christmas special. Also I decided to change some things from the cartoon to safe some time and chapters.
I don't own Transformers Animated and any of the characters in this story, except Shadow/Nightshade/Glitter.
Thought
Common Link or flash back/memory
"I'm back!"
"Shadow where were you! And why are you covered in energon?"
"Oh this. Don't worry about it Blackarachnia it's not mine."
"Shadow! Vhat happened? Why are vou covered in energon?"
"You were right about the autobots."
"So vou know?"
"Yes, I know what they did to my family, so I wanted to set things even."
"And vou fought them?!"
"Yes. I could only fight one because the others came to his rescue."
"Are vou hurt?"
Shadow switched with Nightshade.
"No. But I couldn't take any chances with the others, I had to leave, luckily I could take my trophy. I want to become a deceptacon and destroy the autobots."
"Before that ve vant vou to meet someone."
Nightshade changed to Shadow.
"Who?"
"Follow me and vou vill vind out."
They walked towards a large door.
"What's this place? Vou never showed me this before."
"It's because it didn't have any use back then."
The doors slid opened and Shadow's optics widened. The room was extremely big and there was a large throne in the center of it. The back of the throne was facing them. They both walked towards the throne and stopped in front of it, Blitzwing kneeled on one knee his head down and Shadow copied him. She could heard a swoosh, she lifted her head so that she could see who was there and her optics widened even more. In front of her was Megatron himself. She stood up and stared at him in shock.
"Dad." She managed to whisper.
"Lord Megatron this is Shadow, you're daughter."
Megatron stood up and walked towards Shadow and stopped when he was in front of her. He was huge compared to Shadow (You have to remember that Shadow is Bumblebee's size).
"Blitzwing leave us."
Blitzwing nodded, stood up and left, but when he passed Shadow he gave her a small smile. The doors slid closed when Blitzwing walked out. Megatron put a hand on her shoulder.
"You've grown."
"Obviously."
"The autobots they took you, I thought I was never going to see you again."
"I didn't know about you until I had this dream. I know what the autobots did and I want them to pay. I want to be a deceptacon."
Megatron grinned.
"Very well. But you need an insignia."
"I have it already."
"Yes but that one isn't official. Our insignia is very different from the autobot's. Thiers's are removable, while ours aren't. If you're a deceptacon, there's no turning back."
Shadow nodded.
"Megatron opened a common link.
"Starscream I need the insignia."
"Yes Lord Megatron."
Moments later Starscream came in with the insignia. Shadow kneeled down and looked up at Megatron. Then Megatron pressed the flaming hot insignia on Shadow's chest, Shadow didn't even flitch at contact. Then he removed it form Shadow's chest revealing a big purple Deceptacon insignia on her chest. Megatron opened a comic link.
"Deceptacons gather at the throne room."
Moments later the deceptacons came inside and gathered around the throne.
"Rise Shadow my new scout."
Shadow stood up revealing her insignia to the rest.
"Now you have to prove you're loyalty to me."
"I don't think so."
"And why not."
"Because I already did."
She took out something from her sub space and throe it on the floor. Everybody's optics widened; on the floor was Bumblebee's arm stained with energon. Shadow grinned.
"I couldn't offline him because his friends came to the rescue, but I could bring this."
"Shadow is this vhy vou are covered in energon?"
"Yep."
Shadow switched to Glitter, but Glitter changed. She wasn't pink anymore; instead she was the same color as Shadow and Nightshade. Her face looked like Random's but instead of red it was purple.
"Yeah! You should heard his screams!"
Glitter then started to laugh hysterically.
"The bot was practically begging for his life! It was so much fun! Let's do it again!"
Glitter changed to Nightshade. She took something from her sub space; a visor, she put them on covering her eyes. The visor was the same as Hothead's.
"Agreed. That autobot scum won't escape us this time. I'll offline him with my own servos!"
Nightshade changed to Shadow, whose eyes were the same but know green. The visor covered them.
"Sorry about that they were excited about crushing autobot scum."
"Is there something you forgot to tell me Blitzwing?"
"Just a minor detail sir."
"A minor detail?"
Blitzwing changed to Random.
"Vell she's like us! HAHAHA!"
"Care to tell me why?"
Random stopped laughing and his face fell and he switched back to Icy.
"Lord Megatron, I can not. I swore upon the All-spark."
"Well as you're leader I command you to tell me!"
Icy changed to Hothead but said nothing. Megatron glared at him and Random overpowered Hothead.
"Okay I'll tell you! They did the same thing they did to me!"
"Who?"
"The autobots!"
Hothead overpowered him.
"IDIOT!"
Hothead was going to punch himself on the face, but Icy switched and stopped. The three of them kept switching back and forth.
"That's it!"
Hothead punched himself on the head, hard making the head spin non-stop. Their body didn't have anybody who controlled it, so it fell backwards. The head continued spinning but stopped at Icy. He immediately off lined his optics and he just lay motionless.
"Blitzwing!"
Shadow ran over and started to shake him.
"Come on! Wake up! What happened?"
"Blitzy here is having a fight with himself, they can't fight each other physically, so they knock themselves out and they fight inside their head."
"They fight in their head?"
"They always fight for control over their body. Just imagine miniature Icy, Hothead and Random each having their own body, inside Blitzwings big head fighting for control."
"Thank you for the explanation Starscream, but I need him online."
"Well, you just have to wait for the fight to be over."
"And how long does that take?"
"Not long it's usually Hothead who wins."
"Well is he going to wake up soon?"
"Yes, and Shadow I wouldn't stay there if I was you. In fact get away from him."
"Bite me."
"As you wish. Don't blame me for what's going to happen next, I warned you."
"Fine."
Shadow moved back to where she was standing and Lugnut took her place.
"Lugnut I wouldn't do that if I was you."
"Silence Starscream! Lord Megatron needs Blitzwing online so he will be online!"
"Is he always like this?"
"Welcome to my world."
"Blitzwing online!"
Then a fist came in contact with Lugnut's face sending him flying to the wall.
"STAY OUT OF THE FIGHT LUGNUT VOU GLITCH-"
His optics off lined again and he lay motionless again.
"Wait for it. Okay. 3 2 1."
"AND STAY DOWN HOTHEAD!"
"Brother are you okay?"
"I'm fine Shadow."
"Brother? You're not my son."
"Ve vere both adopted by Starscream's mother."
"So they're both your siblings?"
"Unfortunately yes Lord Megatron."
"Great."
"So what's the plan dad?"
"I want to know what know what you can do. I have to see if these deceptacons have actually taught you something useful."
"Okay, they all trained me."
"They all trained you? Okay what did Starscream train you in?"
"Target shooting."
"Okay, I expected better."
They went over what the Lugnut and Blackarachnia taught Shadow until they reached Blitzwing.
"Well, what did Blitzwing teach you?"
"How to attack and defend, he taught me how to fight in the sky and improve my flying skills."
"Well, looks like it wasn't a waste of time. All of you dismissed go back to what you were doing."
They all made their way out of the room but Megatron stopped Shadow.
"I'm glad that you decided to join the deceptacon cause. I was hoping that when I found you that I wasn't to late."
"I would never join those autobots! Not after what they did to mother. I have no idea what they did to Blitzwing and me but they will pay for everything. Dad can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Was I like this before the autobots took me?"
"No, You weren't like this."
"Blitzwing is not going to tell us what happened to both of us, so I'm going to find out."
"Yes, it will be very helpful to know what happened all this time."
"Also dad, the autobot that off lined mom and took me is here on Earth and I know where he is."
"Tomorrow we will terminate the autobot that did this to us, right now you need to clean yourself and recharge. We will talk tomorrow."
"Okay dad. Good recharge."
Shadow gave him a hug and he hugged her back. She left the throne room; Blitzwing was waiting for her outside.
"Come, I'll show vou to vour room."
Shadow nodded and followed Blitzwing.
"I vas surprised that vou decided to join us. I thought that vou vould remain a neutral."
"What made you think that?"
"The fact that vou are dating an autobot."
"Shut up. I joined you for revenge."
"Vou do know that now vou both are know enemies."
"Yes, but that doesn't matter now"
"Vell it kind of does, vou might have to offline him in the future."
"I won't let happen. I won't let them."
"Then I vill help vou. If he makes vou happy, consider him my 'vriend'. If it's needed I'll do everything I can to safe his skin."
"Really? You would do that?"
"Yes. Ve deceptacons aren't as heartless as the autobots say. Ve might as vell be nicer, but ve always have a thick shell to go through before vou uncover our nice side. Some of us have it deep inside of them, like Starscream, but some loose it and become heartless and need some bot to help them vind it, like Megatron."
"How do they loose it?"
"Vell, in his case they take it away from him. I can't tell vou anymore, I should stop my big mouth vrom spilling secrets."
"You can trust me brother, don't worry."
"I know I can, vou are my zizzy."
"I thought Random was the only one that called me that."
"He's not the only one. Believe it or not Hothead also says it."
"How do you know?"
"I'll tell vou later, right know vou have to settle down in vour new room."
They stopped in front of a grey door.
"Put vour servo on the scanner."
Shadow obeyed; she put her servo on the scanner and the screen came to live.
"Recognized Shadow."
"The door slid open and Shadow stepped inside.
"Good recharge zizzy."
"Good recharge brother."
The door slid closed and Shadow explored her room. It was big, it had a desk with a chair, a bed and there was a door to another room. She opened the door and found out it was a shower. She decided to take a quick shower and then decide what to do next.
After the shower she was sitting on her bed that was made out of metal but to her surprise, it was very comfortable. She took out her wings and left them out.
"You are a deceptacon, you leave your wings out."
She decided to go to sleep and figure out the rest in the morning. She lay down on her bed and off lined her optics.
She woke up lazily her optics buzzed to life. She stretched her arms and yawned.
"That was the worst recharge ever."
She went over to her bathroom and splashed some cold water in her face to wake her up. She dried her face with her towel and looked at her self in the mirror.
"GAH!"
She fell backwards flat on her back; she stood up and rushed to her room. She looked at her self on the mirror that was on the desk.
"What happened to me?"
What Shadow saw in the mirror was her, but she had Blitzwing's helmet.
"What the slag!?"
She changed to Glitter but now her face switched.
"Well that's a pickle!"
Her face switched back.
"Well it's more practical like this, but how the slag did this happen?"
Then she took a good look at her self and screamed. She looked like Blitzwing, but smaller and she was a femme. She didn't have the cannons and the missile launchers but the rest was the same. The strange thing was that her paint was grey, like if she was off line. Her eyes still shone the different colors that each personality had. Thankfully Shadow stilled had her two optics, Nightshade had all her teeth her eyes were stilled covered by the visor and Glitter looked exactly like Random except for the fact that she was purple instead of red.
"What the slag is wrong with me! Why do I look like Blitzwing?!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Shadow are vou okay? I heard vou scream."
"Blitzwing something wrong with me."
"Vell, I can't see if something is vrong vith vou if vou don't open the door."
"It's a big problem."
Icy switched with Random.
"Come on zizzy! Open up!"
The door slid open.
"The problem is that I look like you."
Random's face fell and his optics widened and tears started to form in his optics.
"No. No. NO! This can't be happening!"
"Random what do you mean?"
Random's tears were already falling.
"Shadow I'm sorry! This is my entire fault! This vas never meant to happen!"
"How is this your fault?"
"I'm sorry I can't tell. I'm sorry!"
Random then started to run away.
"Blitzwing wait!"
He didn't listen and continued to run.
"Please tell me! I need to know!"
"I can't!
"Why not?"
"Because it hurts! Every time I think or mention it! It hurts!"
"Mention what?"
"I just can't tell vou!"
They continued to run until they left the base. Shadow blasted him on the leg making him fall. She rushed over to his side.
"Please Blitzwing try! It also involves me! I have to know!"
Tears were still falling from Random's optics.
"I can't I just can't." He whispered.
"Maybe you can't but how about the others."
"They also can't vou don't know the pain it brings back."
"Please Blitzwing, Random, Brother, I know it hurts but I need to know. It might be the only thing that I'll get to know about my past. Please."
"The problem is that I can't tell vou."
"Can you tell it to dad and me?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I don't vant another bot to see vhat ve suffered. I vas glad that vou don't remember it. It's hard living vith a past like ours. It haunts vou every day. The images always appear vhen vou offline vour eyes, always appears in vour dreams. It drives vou insane! It's vhy I'm like this!"
Random then started to sob.
"It's okay Random, I'm here and they're here. The past was the past we can't do anything about it, we couldn't change what happened to us."
"The thing is that ve could. I could, could have saved us both! But I didn't! It's all my fault! I can't have vou carry the burden of this memory! I von't be able to live vith myself!"
"But I want to carry it! I want to help you carry it! Please, it's my past too!"
Random switched to Icy.
"Vou don't understand. Please just listen to me!"
"Why all the secrets? You can trust me! It has something about me and I need to know! Why are you keeping it away from me?!"
"BECAUSE THEY PUT MY CIRCUITRY IN VOU!"
Suddenly everything was quiet and Shadow's eyes widened. Icy realized what he said ad sat down and put his face in his servos.
"They put your circuitry in?"
"Yes."
"But, how?"
"Sit down this is going to take a vhile."
Shadow sat next to him and looked at him.
"It started after vou vere captured by the autobots."
* Inside story *
They took vou to vhere they put every deceptacon no matter their age; the stockade. Vou vere kept there like if vou vere a prisoner of var, I know this, because I vas there too. The day the autobots took the deceptacon base, vou veren't the only bot that vas separated from the parents. But I vasn't as lucky as vou, both my parents vere killed in front of me. Vou vere just a sparkling and I vas almost a youngling.
Before I continue I have to tell vou that all the memories I first gave vou vere fake. All of them except the one-vere Swiftwind dies that did happen. Vou vere adopted by Swiftwind but not at that young age, ve vere both much older.
Ve grew up in an autobot prison vor about the equivalent of two human years. That doesn't mean much to a youngling it doesn't change anything, but to a sparkling two years are the same as two hundred. I vas six hundred years old vhen thus took place. They gave us food, but they didn't take special care of us. I taught vou how to talk and walk and some games. Ve both took care of each other.
It vas an ordinary day vhen a bot that I've never seen stood in front of our cell, accompanied by some guards. They started talking but ve couldn't hear. Then the cell door opened and I remember picking vou up and running out of the cell and in to the hallway. The guards quickly started to follow but despite the fact that I vas carrying vou, ve vere still faster.
Then vor the first time, I remember activating my thrusters and tried to fly away. It slowed us down at first, because I was trying to figure out how to fly. After getting the hang of it, ve quickly lost them.
Ve vent through different corridors and ve quickly got lost. There vere many prisoners all of them wearing the deceptacon insignia that ve had. I decided to continue flying that vay. Then after a few moments of flying, ve reached cells that had no prisoners. Ve reached a door but I heard a small tapping sound coming from one of the cells.
I flew over and saw that it was a bot my age. Without hesitation I opened the door letting the bot out.
"Thanks."
He had a British accent and had a small deceptacon insignia.
"No problem. Do vou know the vay out?"
"No, but I know where to get closer to the exit. Right know we're under ground and I know where the way up is, that's why the but me here alone."
"I'm Icy."
"Shockwave. Who's that?"
"This is my little zizzy Shadow. Say hi."
"Hi Shockwave."
"Hey can I go with you guys, we can help each other get out."
"Sure."
"Can you guys walk, I can't fly?"
"Shadow vant to walk."
"Yep!"
I tried to deactivate the thrusters but I ended up landing on my faceplate an vou started to laugh.
"Come on, we have to be quiet, we don't want to be caught."
Ve both stood up and there I saw that the bot vas taller than me and had one large red optic. I grabbed vour servo and ve started to walk.
"So how long were you guys here for?"
"Well, two years. How about vou?"
"I don't know there's a guard that's been here for the same time I've been here. Like forever, I never knew my parents but the guard told me I was a deceptacon, an enemy to the autobots, that's why they lock us up, we didn't even do anything! Did you guys know you're parents?"
"Yes, I knew mine but the autobots killed them both. Shadow how about vou?"
"My mama fell asleep in front of autobot. Then autobot take me away from mama. Daddy tried to get me back but autobot run."
"Vhat she means is that an autobot killed her mother but her dad survived."
"You understand her?"
"I taught her how to talk."
"Are you guys actually brother and sister?"
"No, but she's my new vamily and I'm hers. Ve're vamily."
"Lucky, I have no vamily."
"Shockwave want to be my second brother?"
"You asking me if I want to join your family?"
"Yes!"
"But we just met."
"Doesn't matter. You alone, we alone, we can be bigger family."
"So vou vant to be the next member of our family?"
"I never had a family, so this is the next best thing. So yeah, I want to be part of your family."
"Yeah! New brother Shockwave!"
Ve continued walking around endless hallways and climbed different flights of stairs when we finally stopped vor a break. The three of us vere very tired and surprisingly ve had lost the autobot guards but ve kept quiet and ve hid vhen ve heard footsteps. Ve continued to walk across the maze this prison vas and then ve came across a huge door. Thinking it vas the exit and that the autobot guards vere nowhere to be seen ve vere trying to find a way to open the door vhen we stopped and turned around vinding two autobot guards with their guns pointed at us.
Ve vere paralyzed in fear not knowing vhat to do. Then vou ran past the guards and started shouting at us to do the same. One of the guards vent after vou and the other stayed in front of us vith his gun still pointed at us. The guard came back carrying vou. The other guard picked up Shockwave despite his kicking and punching. The bot that vas carrying vou picked me up I didn't fight back because I vas wondering vhy vou veren't fighting back. Then I saw that there was energon leaking vrom vour lip. I started to shout at the autobot and kicked and punched, then everything went black and I don't know vhat append next. I opened my optics and a bright light hit me and everything vas blurry.
It took a nanoclick vor my optics to adjust to the bright light. I wanted to sit up but I couldn't, I tried to move my arms, my stabilizing servos but I couldn't, I turned my head and saw that my arms and stabilizing servos vere chained down to vhat looked like a table. I turned my head the other vay and saw vou on another table trying to wiggle free.
"Shadow! Are vou okay?"
"Me okay! Big brother okay?"
"Yes, don't vorry I'll get us out of here!"
Then a two bots came in.
"Sentinel these are just sparklings! They couldn't know where the deceptacon base is!"
"Shut it Wheeljack! Don't you know? I'm Sentinel Prime now so call me by that name now! Sparklings or not they still may know!"
"But Sentinel Prime, sir they're just sparklings!"
"Where's Perceptor?!"
"Right here Sentinel."
"There you are! Can you make these bots talk?"
"Actually I've been observing these two for some time and they make perfect candidates for my triple changer program."
"But sir, they're sparklings."
"Yes, but they both have the processor power of a youngling. They're the perfect bots to test the experiment."
"Here's the deal, if they don't talk you get to use them for your experiment. Deal?"
"Deal."
"But Perceptor, they're just sparklings!"
"Deceptacon sparklings. You are letting your emotions cloud your judgment Wheeljack, that's one of the reasons why I deleted mine."
The bot walked over to us.
"Sparklings, where is the deceptacon base?"
"Didn't vou already capture it?"
"That was one base, we're is the other one?"
The other bot started to walk towards vou and vou started to scream and cry.
"Sentinel you're scaring the sparkling."
"Why would I be scarring the sparkling?"
"You bot away from me! You kill mama! Stay away!"
"Wait Perceptor this is Megatron's sparkling!"
"You mean the sparkling that you stole from the base?"
"Yeah! It's the same one!"
"Get away!"
"Leave her alone vou autobot scum!"
Sentinel turned to face me.
"Watch your mouth!"
"Vou should watch vour back! Vour nothing but a murder! Vou killed her mother and took her away vrom her dad! The most powerful of all deceptacons! When he vinds vou, vou're going to be offline!"
"The mech has a point, you just put yourself inside Megatron's death list."
Sentinel stood in front of me.
"Where is the deceptacon base? Answer me!"
"Go to the Pit!"
"Perceptor, they're all yours."
Then two bots freed us, but before ve could move they carried us to another room.
I regret saying that because the thing is that I could have prevented all that pain, because I did know where the deceptacon base was. I wasn't doing it because I was being loyal to the deceptacon cause; it was because it was my father's last dying wish. Still, the base was saved and even after the war I didn't tell anyone.
They placed us in two different tables and tied us down. Vou vere shacking and vas scared and so vas I.
"Brother what are they going to do to us?"
"I don't know zizzy, but I'll try to get us out of here."
"Let's start with the femme, she's the youngest."
"NO! Leave her alone! Start vith me! Please!"
"Sorry, but she's younger than vou and ve have to see the difference in order."
"NO! Please!"
"Sorry kid, but I can't. Wheeljack start the machine."
I heard a few beeps and then the hum of an engine. Then the bot came over and he opened vour head accessing into vour processor. He grabbed a wire and stopped.
"This might hurt."
But before any of could say anything he connected the wire into vour head and vour optics off lined.
"Okay Wheeljack turn it off."
He unplugged the wire vrom vour processor and vour head returned to normal.
(This part of the story is going to be told from my point of view)
The bot walked towards Blitzwing and opened his head accessing his processor.
"Vait! Before vou do anything vhat happened to Shadow?"
"She's just unconscious. Again this might hurt."
He plugged in the wire into Blitzwing's processor and his optics off lined but after a few moments they on lined again. He started to trash around desperately trying to free himself. Then the bot saw his processor splitting into three. Blitzwing's eyes started to change and then he off lined his optics and let out a scream. The scream was nothing that the bot had ever heard it made his protoform shake. It was the mix of a high-pitched scream, a wailing dog and a hum. It was extremely weird and horrible to hear.
His processor started to glow then his whole body was covered by the glow until you couldn't see him, but the scream never stopped.
When the glowing disappeared so did the screaming. The wire unplugged itself and before his head went back to normal, his processor was slit into three. One side was glowing red, the other blue and the last one looked like it was off line but when the bot went closer to see what happened, it turned out to be glowing a black light then his head went back to normal.
"Wheeljack I think we did it."
"I think so too Perceptor."
"We should wake the kid up."
"Agreed."
The bot took something from his sub space and held it in his servo before turning it on. Once the machine was on he placed it one Blitzwing's arm, sending a wave of electricity through him.
Blitzwing on lined his optics with a start.
"Vhat happened?"
Then his face switched to Hothead's (who still had all of his teeth)
"Vhat did vou do to me vou autobot scum!"
Then he switched back to Icy.
"Vhat vas that? Vhat happened?"
"See for yourself kid."
Wheeljack placed a mirror in front of him.
His face switched to Hothead who was about to shout something when he stopped and looked at himself in the mirror. Then his face changed to Random.
"Vell that's a pickle! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Then his face changed back to Icy.
"Vhat did vou do to me? Vhat did vou do? Tell me!"
"This wasn't suppose to happen."
"Vou vere going to do this to Shadow too! Vou vere going to turn her into this!"
"We're still going to. We just discovered how, it's all in your circuitry. We just take some of yours and we put it in her."
"I von't let vou!"
"You and what army?"
He switched to Hothead and he began to try to lift his arm up.
"You think you can break those? You're just a sparkling!"
Then with a loud bang he broke his arm free."
"I'm not a normal sparkling anymore! And vou von't hurt Shadow!"
Then he punched himself in the head, nocking himself unconscious.
"Well this just makes our job easier."
The bot went over to open his processor, but it wouldn't even budge.
"What the slag?"
"Wheeljack wake him up."
He did what he was told and he send a wave of electricity through Blitzwing's body waking him up the bot took this chance to open the processor.
"Vhat? NO!"
Then Blitzwing's eyes off lined and the bot started to mess with his processor. Took a wire from here and there, unscrewed something here, took this too and then closed the processor.
(Back to Blitzwing)
I woke up to the sound of a scream, I looked over and I saw vou going through vhat I vent through and I couldn't take it, the others couldn't take it, Hothead tried to break our other arm free, but the electric shock weakened us. So ve vere vorced to vhat vou suffer. And vhen vou screamed in pain I vas more disparate to vree myself to help vou. Finally they turned the machine off and vou stopped moving, I thought vou vere offline and so did they. They vreed vou vrom the table, they vere carrying vou out, vhen vou voke up and hit the bot in the faceplate. Vou vell and ran towards me and vreed me vrom the table. Ve ran towards the door but it vas sealed tight, then it slid open.
"Run! Get out of here!" the bot shouted.
Vithout thinking twice ve ran out of the room. Then a loud alarm rang and there vas a bright red flashing light and guards started to run. There vas a group of guards running towards us, but they passed us Vithout noticing, I could hear them say something about an escaped bounty hunter.
Ve continued to run, hiding vrom guards, just in case they vere after us too. Ve ran inside a room in order to hide vrom the guards, it vas dark and the only light vas the one vrom our optics.
"Our you guys hiding too?"
"Vho's there deceptacon or autobot?"
"Deceptacon. How about you?"
"Ve are both deceptacons. Yes ve both are hiding."
"Where is bot?"
The bot had vhat humans call a flashlight.
"Hey there."
The bot in front of us was a youngling at least 1400 years old.
"Vou are the bounty hunter that they are looking vor?"
"Yep! Names Lockdown."
"Vhat did vou do?"
"I stole some data from the Council's computer."
"How did vou do that?"
"I'm one of the best."
"Do vou know the vay out?"
"Yep, but ve are going to need a distraction."
"I'll be vou're distraction if vou can promise me something."
"Shoot."
"Promise me that vou vill make sure that Shadow gets out safely."
"I promise, here's what I need you to do."
Lockdown explained me his plan and I vas ready.
"Okay Shadow, I need vou to go with Lockdown here, he's going to take care of vou vor now. Okay?"
"Will I see big brother again?"
"Yes, I promise."
I picked vou up and handed vou over to Lockdown.
"You know what to do kid."
I nodded and headed out. I don't know if vou made it out or not, but I remember seeing vou both run out of the room. I know from Lockdown that vou did make it out, it vas just a matter of time until ve vere reunited thanks to Swiftwind.
* End story *
"So the autobots used us as lab rats?"
"Yes, but I still don't know how they managed to block out vour other personalities back then, unlike me vou didn't show signs of other personalities."
"I'm sorry."
"For vhat?"
"For being a burden to you, if it wasn't for me, you would be normal."
He immediately changed to Hothead.
"Vou vere never a burden! Vou are my zister, my only true vamily! I vould risk my life vor vour safety!"
"Same here brother. But I still don't know why I'm all grey."
He switched to Icy.
"That! Vou don't need to vorry about that! Vou just need a new paint job. Follow me."
They walked back to the cave and Blitzwing lead her into a room she remembered from the tour, but never entered.
"Come on don't vorry. This is vere vou can get a new paint job. Vou just choose the colors here and vou enter the other room and vait vor a second and vour done. I'll leave vou to this I'm-"
Icy was replaced by Random.
"Going to go dance! Cha cha cha!"
He danced his way out of the door leaving Shadow alone.
"Vell we need colors that we all like.'
"How about pink?"
"NO! We need black!"
"I agree with Nightshade on this."
"Okay how about purple? Like before."
"Fine."
"I suggest that we add a third color, most deceptacons have three colors."
"PINK!"
"NO!"
"What about silver?"
"YEAH! Shinny!"
"It's better than pink. As long as we have black, I'm fine with it."
She typed the colors in the computer and went inside the room that Blitzwing told her to.
She waited for a while until she felt a tickling sensation, she tried hard not to laugh, but Glitter started laughing, Nightshade quickly told her to shut it and Shadow finally took control and kept both of them quiet.
She looked at her self in the mirror that was in the other side of the room.
Her face was silver, her neck was black and from the base of her neck to her shoulders was purple. Her upper arms and chest were black, her hands and lower arms were silver. She has a purple stripe that went across her waist like a belt. Her thighs were black and her knees were purple and the rest of her legs were silver, her feet were black. The top of her wings was black and the bottom was purple. Her helmet was black but it was outlined in purple.
She walked out the room, satisfied with her paint job and was on her way to the common room, to see what was the day's schedule.
