"What is that?!" exclaimed Bumblebee, Windscream turned
"What is what?" she asked confused but her spark was beating rapidly, did he see her attempt to get rid of her sin? Her fears were confirmed when Bumblebee put his finger on the side of her shoulder. Windscream let out a trembling breath
"W-well w-what? I-I don't see anything…" Bumblebee grabbed her hand and pulled her into his quarters that were close by. Pushing the jet in front of a mirror turning her to the side he pointed again at the mark.
"What is that?" He demanded. He knew it was important since Windscream began shaking violently. Windscream put her tray down on the side of the shower and sat down uneasily breathing rabidly
"Bumblebee it's the scar of my sin… the mark of the Demonicons…" tears ran down her face as she held her head in her bronze hands
"I-I should have told but if you knew where I really came from I would be with Soundwave right now." Bumblebee stepped back afraid of what she could have meant. Demonicons were only in legends, transformers that were made by Unicron to destroy all of Primus' children. The only way to stop them was the Angebots. Who were the opposite of the Demonicons, full of compassion and love, while the Demonicons were evil.
"The legends are only partly correct… Unicorn did create us and yes we were evil but… the war ended long ago when the station that held the few lasting survivors was destroyed… and now there's only me; the last of the evil." Bumblebee was in total shock as he listened to what Windscream had told Prime but fixing the lies she intertwined in the story.
"My real name was Demonscream and I was the best warrior there was. Until there was a battle and an Angebot named Cherubim Prime damaged me enough to cause a fracture in my personality chip. I became more and more like an Angebot causing peace but I still had that piece of darkness. The explosion of the station caused me to go into this mixed state," she was looking at her hands in horror. "I killed so many Bumblebee… and now I just wanted to start over… but my past always catches up. Once a Demonicon always a Demonicon." Her optics remained purple as a sign that Windscream wasn't sure of her identity. Evil or Good, Bumblebee was so scared of the femme now. She wasn't supposed to exist! These were just legends! Stories to scare Sparklings to bed! Bumblebee hoped she would start laughing and just hug him saying it was all a mean joke but she didn't and that made Bumblebee even more frightened. Windscream, or was it Demonscream, stood up holding out her arms like a child to their mother for a hug. Her optics now having more blue in them as they pleaded for forgiveness from her best friend but she was met with fright. Windscream picked up the tray
"I'll go take this to Soundwave now… then who knows…" she walked out leaving a trembling Bumblebee behind.
The whole day Windscream sat with Soundwave. They didn't talk, she didn't draw, they just sat in the cell together silently. Windscream was thinking more and more tears coming out without resistance or a sound. Soundwave wondered what had hurt the jet so bad but he didn't know how to ask. Then Windscream sighed, her internal clock said it was near midnight. Standing up Windscream opened the door and waited.
"C'mon Soundwave I'm getting you out of here. We are both blowing this joint." She said looking at him with her purple optics. Soundwave stood up after a pause wondering if it was a trick, but when the jet took out a rifle he knew she meant it. Pressing a finger to her bronze lips Windscream led Soundwave out silently. She knew the whole schedule of this place. Gears would yawn and go for a cube just about… now. The small Autobot left and Windscream ran across the room holding onto Soundwave's hand as they ran out the open cavern of an entrance. But they heard a voice; it was Ironhide.
"Hey where you going Windscre- TRAITOR!" Ironhide began firing but Windscream fired back disarming him. Leading Soundwave away still, all the way to the cliffs by the ocean she stopped and let go of Soundwave's hand putting her rifle away.
"It was a pleasure knowing you Soundwave… I guess I'll see you… never." She said turning but Soundwave grabbed her hand
"Explain." He said without emotion. Windscream didn't turn,
"I don't belong with them Soundwave. I don't belong anywhere I'm not even supposed to exist. I'm just a story to tell Sparklings so they will behave." Soundwave didn't move but gripped tighter
"More data needed." Said Soundwave this time Windscream looked back her optics full of sadness. Sighing she showed the Decepticon she had befriended the fanged skull
"Demonicon." And with that she pulled away taking off into the night sky. Soundwave stood there for a moment but decided not to pursue. He needed to report to his leader anyway… though his spark had felt like it was in his stomach he needed to keep going. As the earthlings say 'Easy come, easy go.'
Soundwave entered the underwater base via the rising tower. He waited for it to sink back to the ship before he opened the doors and walked noisily into the purple ship. So much purple, Soundwave liked blue better here was WAY too much purple. He kept a sigh to himself as he entered the throne room Megatron liked to relax in.
"Soundwave reporting sir." He saw that he had woken the large silver mech. Megatron answered with a growl
"You were careless Soundwave."
"I was captured by the jet known as Windscream." Megatron turned to face the navy mech;
"Yes I know." Growling again Megatron this time noticed that Soundwave's shoulder had been fixed much more efficiently than his second in command
"Who repaired you Soundwave?" Megatron asked glaring with his red optics.
"The one who captured me also assisted in my repair and escape." His master looked down on Soundwave though not much taller
"Oh really? What makes you think it wasn't a trap so the Autobots could follow you?" growled the ruthless leader.
"She fired upon Ironhide who attempted to stop our escape."
"So she has Decepticon in her then? Excel-" Megatron was cut off by Soundwave's computer voice
"Negative."
"But she helped you escape!"
"As a ally to me only. She flew off after leading me to the ocean near Autobot headquarters." Megatron glared again. So Soundwave let a potential ally go, this was annoying. Megatron pinched the bridge of his nose and after staying in that pose for a few minutes he growled at Soundwave
"Well don't just stand there you worthless piece of metal. GO FIND WINDSCREAM!" he roared sending the emotionless mech out of his relaxation chamber. Soundwave would go after her but only after hanging up the portraits she had done. There was quite a few now. Some of them were of his whole 'family' and others were individual. He hung the first one she had done in the middle of the collection. Then he headed out to search for the mysterious yet kind jet. He looked up in the data banks though what a Demonicon is. A story, only a legend, the partial symbol she had shown him was completed; a black skull with fangs and horns outlined in silver. Soundwave downloaded the data so he could read as he searched. Sending out Laserbeak and Buzzsaw to aid in his quest for the only friend he had ever had.
Ironhide had awakened the other Autobots with his shouts after being disarmed by the violent jet. He trusted that mech and now she had helped Soundwave escaped AND fired on him. Others had woken from the sound of a laser rifle. Optimus helped Ironhide up
"What's the meaning of this?" asked Ironhide's friend and leader
"Betrayal that's what! That slimy Decepticon lover! Oh when I get my hands on her I'm gonna-"
"Who was it Ironhide?" asked Optimus putting a hand on Ironhide's shoulder as to calm him.
"Why Windscream that's who! She fired at my hand and now its burning!" the red mech answered harshly shoving his damaged hand into his friend's face. Optimus looked stunned, the jet who was so kind a traitor no way!
"Are you sure it wasn't a trick…" ventured Optimus but instead of Ironhide, Bumblebee spoke up
"It was her Optimus. She lied to us… Demonscream didn't tell you everything." Optimus looked at the smaller 'bot
"How did you know about the name they made fun of her with?"
"Its not a nickname Prime; it's her real name and she told me everything after I saw a mark on her shoulder. The mark of the Demonicons!" The room went silent
"No way. Demonicons are just stories!" Said Wheeljack. Bumblebee shook his head
"No they exist and the last one tricked us just like Decepticons. She belongs with them anyway." Bumblebee hung his head; he couldn't accept that the person he had come to love was really an infernal machine!
"Good then I won't feel so bad when I blast her to bits!" yelled Ironhide some other Autobots joined in agreement.
"Now hold on a minute! She was our friend and just because she is a Demonicon doesn't mean that the fact changes!" Spoke up Jazz. The few who had gotten to know Windscream nodded in agreement. Bumblebee stood apart from them, then Nightrose spoke up
"From what I know of legends. Demonicons are nothing like her!"
"She was hurt in a fight with a Angebot named Cherubim Prime. Her personality chip was damaged so she became nicer and when she crashed on earth it caused her to be stuck in that confused state." Replied Bumblebee coldly; he hated how that, that THING had tried showing compassion. She was nothing but a cold killer and she was right to flee!
"No matter what she was, that isn't WINDSCREAM now. I'm going to find her, and Bumblebee how could you think that! After all she cared for you the most that's probably told you all that because she loved you!" Nightrose stormed out
"All who want to get their friend back are welcome to come along." Most Autobots were still but Jazz spoke up
"Hey Windscream was a great artist and loved the jams me and Blaster threw out! I'm gonna go find my friend!" Jazz followed
"Sure we has rough beginnings but Windscream is to kind to be a Demonicon. I'm going too!" proclaimed Ratchet who was followed by Skyfire, Hoist, Beachcomber, and Grapple.
"Hey me and Windscream got along great! She always brought some sunshine along with her no matter where we went!" Wheeljack raced after the group, then Grimlock spoke up
"Me, Grimlock like Windscream, Windscream friend!" Grimlock transformed and thundered out
"Me, Sludge, follow leader, Grimlock!" The brontosaurs followed noisily along with Snarl and Slag. Swoop transformed too.
"Windscream fancy flyer! Me, Swoop, like having flying friend!" the pterodactyl soared out being the last of the group. Bumblebee watched as they left secretly a part of his spark wanted to go with them but he stood his ground ignoring the part that still held love for Windscream.
