Chapter 7

The Revenge Game

The Autobots roamed the grounds as Skywarp took the sky. Quickly with rubber rolling, the autobots reached into the forest where they might take the bait. In their distance, they transformed to their friend gasping and grunting at the same time. Skywarp landed and sneaked behind Optimus.

"Do we move in and strike?" Skywarp whispered; Optimus looked at him, and shook no.

"There no need for rush actions. Who knows it might be a trap." Optimus looked further down though the forest. "How else do we know Hotshot was kept captive? Autobots move in." He ordered with weapons near their sides and they continued to move.

"Prime…" Skywarp called.

"What is it?" He asked. Skywarp was startled into a surprise as he felt suddenly in tense; he quickly glanced up to the trees.

"They're here!" He screamed alerting the others.

The Decepticons ambushed them, tackling every move to defeat them. Skywarp vanished and reappear to every attack that Cyclonus tries to give him. "Skywarp…!" Optimus cried while he tangled with Thrust. "Plan B!" He commanded, Skywarp agreed. It was time to prove worthy; he was one of them at last. "Blurr…!" Optimus called. Blurr reported to duty after he slashed against Wheeljack's face. "Assist Skywarp, we'll deal the others here!" Blurr obeyed as he transformed and went.

-Scream-

Blurr's main freaked, cruising though the forest, he nearly hit a nearby tree. Screeching his tires as he drifted into a stop, he transformed to set sights of Hotshot. Brutally damaged… "Hotshot…!" He cried unbelieving what he was seeing.

Hotshot barely had the vocals to speak where his whole face, main, anywhere were covered with specks of blood and leaks still tied to the tree. Blurr then realized a hand above Hotshot which moved and came out to face him.

"Megatron…" He growled.

"We're you worried about your friend?" Megatron teased.

"You bastard…let him go." Blurr requested as Megatron just smiled.

"Would you like to trade places with him instead?" Megatron answered.

Blurr hissed, what was going on with the crazy mech head??? He always thought the mighty decepticon commander was insane, but how the words of Megatron's spoke changed the atmosphere more unsteady for him. Megatron then hooked on to Hotshot's chin.

"He's so unique…" Megatron claimed as he gave a full view to Blurr. Toying with Blurr's mind; Hotshot could only gaze his bluely eyes helplessly to him.

"You're sick…" Blurr recalled to Megatron.

"Aren't I?" Megatron agreed as he let Hotshot tilt his face to a side. As Blurr watched, he could see Hotshot was trying to say something, Blurr drawn out his blaster hoping to attempt Megatron to make his move.

"Let him go!" Blurr shouted. Hotshot flinched as he gained back his voice only into a whisper.

"Watch…out…" Blurr's red optics widen as he dodged whatever tried to attack him from behind.

Starscream the most ambitious mind ever made attacked Blurr with his wing saber and when the fight went on, Blurr had no choice but to defend himself first. With his blaster as his own shield, he managed to block every attack as Megatron stands there laughing.

-Stab-

Hotshot glazed confused to see Megatron felt a surge though his main. In front of him, Skywarp looked up to Megatron with his wing saber stabbed against his previous commander. Skywarp took the guts to try but stupidly enough, Megatron wasn't that easy to defeat. Skywarp slide across the ground of surrounding trees where Blurr and Starscream kept themselves busy. Slowly Megatron eased his pain as he drawn out the blade out of his main.

"Is that the best, you got?" Megatron ran forward quickly Skywarp warped. Whipping an air-kick, Megatron blocked his move. As Skywarp vanished again, Megatron took a wild guess where he'll appeared next. Out in the air, Skywarp was revealed and Megatron had grabbed hold of his head. "I could sense your fear…" Megatron taunted as he tossed him down to the rough ground. Skywarp struggled as he stared up to see Megatron raised his wing saber. With his own weapon against him, Skywarp rolled aside in time. Megatron savaged over him with the wing saber. Until finally Skywarp gain his gift of warping. Vanishing from his sight, Skywarp pulled many sneak attacks upon Megatron. Only to be backfired as Megatron slashed Skywarp aside letting him fly as he crashes to a tree by his powerful arm. "You little piece of scrap metal…" Megatron recalled angrily.

Skywarp, fallen to the ground, lagged his stomach unexpectedly Megatron surprised him as he stabbed into his left hand. Though his hand and deep underground, Skywarp screamed. Blurr flinched as he accidentally let down his guard as Starscream knocked him. Down, Blurr watched Megatron loomed over Skywarp amusedly.

"You should be glad I didn't stab your right hand…Skywarp…how else can you handle a weapon?" Megatron taunted as he deepen the blade to the ground, the slight movement to his hand made Skywarp flinch.

"Damn you to Unicorn, Megatron…" He cried with bravery. Megatron then held his pointy helm and his right wing.

"Don't make me mad…you'll know what would happen if you did." Megatron explained, Skywarp then smiled.

Seeing his taunting expression of a smile, Megatron immediately ripped off his wing. Skywarp once again cried with his optics finally fading this time…Megatron felt pleased.

"Megatron…!" A voice cried that made Megatron look up.

Blurr ran and gave his fist a hard grip that caught Megatron off guard, bending his cheek painfully in. Seeing the results of Megatron's expression, he yet smiled deviously. Blurr spooked as he tried another swing only Megatron was prepared. Capturing his fist, Blurr in reaction tried to pull away, frighten. Megatron won't let him as he caught hold of his other hand. Quickly he snapped them, Blurr in return screamed. For Megatron, he just smiled.

"How cute, a shooter with un-functional hands." Megatron taunted as Blurr growled on his knees, feeling outraged.

While Megatron was distracted, Skywarp gathered his strength to pull the saber out of his hand with little effort, he managed. Slowly crawling up, he glazed his reddish optics back at Megatron toying with Blurr. It was his move now.

Megatron laughed as he grabbed Blurr's arm "Let me go, you bastard!" Blurr claimed but Megatron did nothing of a sort until Skywarp jumped up behind him. An unusual move but it was worth it, clawing his opponent face, Skywarp hanged on. Megatron snarled as he pushed Blurr aside to get hold of Skywarp's lack of sense and his asinine idea. As Skywarp vanished, Megatron quickly glazed around. Starscream approached as Blurr watched his move. Skywarp appeared with his handgun before Megatron. Megatron sneered.

"For Primus sake, die Megatron…!" The seeker screamed aiming directly to Megatron's spark. Starscream in shock; prevented the shot as he grabbed hold of Skywarp's handgun which misfire his leader. A screeching sound of metal ran through his cheek, Megatron felt a tingle by the laser. His cheek leaked blood…

"How pathetic…" He reviewed the wound he then spread a smile. Watching the seekers tangled, Starscream slashed Skywarp's face.

Blurr couldn't bear to watch as Starscream beaten over his own cousin. On the ground once more, Skywarp moved only to be kicked again. As Blurr tried stand up, Megatron was one step ahead, knocking him into a coma.

"How dare you pull a gun against your master?" Starscream cried.

Skywarp couldn't stand it, what was worst for him was to have someone he known so long beat the crap out of him and the only family he could actually consider having…

Starscream's memory files…loading…found…processing…complete...

'Hurry up, Starscream! I heard this kid was like us!' Young Skywarp said as he ran off further.

"He's to full of spirit, Starscream but I shouldn't complain I want both of you to be happy." Starscream flinched as he looked up to his mentor.

'Happy…?' He questioned in mind, Soundwave patted his dark helm.

"Think of it this way, he's really the only family you got." Soundwave continued.

'Is he all you care, master?' Starscream sadly thought.

"Besides I'm glad that I get to meet both of you."

'Soundwave…' Starscream remembered of being alone with gore and blood everywhere. In his hands was his cousin and seeing the large scorpion transformer, he spooked. A flashback of the day that his mentor died…

Stopping in the middle of beating his cousin, Starscream hissed. Skywarp rise on his knees and hands with a leaking mouth, everywhere were scraped and trashed.

"Megatron…!" A voice claimed where both Megatron and Starscream glanced over.

They flinched as Wheeljack appeared with battle scars, "The Autobots had scared away our troops!" He complained.

Megatron didn't seem pleased as he looked at Wheeljack's broken com-link at his audio-range. Shortly the others arrived with the Autobots near their stand. Optimus appeared in shock to see Skywarp's condition and Hotshot's.

"We're done here Prime…" Megatron claimed calmly as everyone watched him. He turned around and slashed his sharp fingers at Hotshot. Optimus gasped until he noticed wires just shredded as Hotshot fell helplessly to the ground.

"Hotshot…!" Sideswipe cried as he ran up to him, violently shaking him for a life respond but Hotshot can only give a soft eye sight, nothing more.

"I had my fun." Megatron admit with a pleasing smile to Sideswipe. In the younger mech eyes there Megatron saw was rage. "Let's go…I believed my little Skywarp had enough fun…" Optimus hissed and quickly looked back at Starscream and Skywarp, looking up to him. Megatron then laugh as he vanished soon the rest of the Decepticons disappeared leaving Skywarp alone finally. But before Starscream left, Optimus saw the guilt of his concealed expression, the sight of orange optics faded, Starscream noticed and quickly vanished.

He looked ahead and watched Scavenger picking up Skywarp into his arms. "That bastard Megatron going around thrashing everybody around, he's playing with us!" Exclaimed the angry grey and green mech...

Optimus then thought of Starscream's despair face.

"Skywarp…" Jetfire called as he looked at his mate turn aside. With bandages wrapped his entire body, Skywarp felt defeated. Coming up to him, seeing him seating alone on the bed platform in the dark. Jetfire called again. No respond. He then slightly touched the seeker's fore-helm. Finally Skywarp took attention of him as he grabbed hold of his hand.

"Please don't…"He responded quietly in pain and put his hand away. Jetfire then look at him as the seeker continued to look overpowered. The flyer swears Skywarp needed more then ignorance. He pulled his arms around his head, embracing him close. His mate looked up to him.

"I'm really sorry…" Jetfire explained as he laid his face against the seeker's helm.

Skywarp glazed the golden eyes that contacted to his. "Don't be sorry…" Skywarp pulled his arms around him taking him closer. "As long you're with me…it doesn't matter." Jetfire's optics begins to fade as he pulls himself down for a comforting kiss.

"Skywarp…your hand is leaking…" Jetfire recalled as Skywarp looked at his hand. The hand that Megatron had stabbed, even though it was bandaged, the blood leaked through. Jetfire took his hand.

"What are you doing Jetfire?" Skywarp asked as Jetfire pulled off the bandage.

"Returning a favor…" As Jetfire took his hand, he licked off the bleedings on his wound. Skywarp was blushing red already. As he was done, he picked up the bandage and got up. "I'll go clean this up…"

Quickly Skywarp reacted, reaching out he grabbed Jetfire's wrist, pulling him back to the bed platform with him. Jetfire fell to his front as Skywarp crawled over his behind.

"Skywarp, why did you do that for?" Jetfire yelped.

"The favor…what do you mean?" Skywarp asked as Jetfire chuckled. "What's so funny?" Skywarp questioned, Jetfire looked at him, got up into a seating position, facing him.

"You saved my wings that why." Skywarp took in silence as he was given a moment to remember.

'Cyclonus' Skywarp recalled in his thought, Jetfire then spread a smile.

"You look cute when you blush." Jetfire commented that made Skywarp sparked up in heat.

"Shut up." He exclaimed calmly with blushes, Jetfire then chuckled. "It's not funny!"

"I can't help it, you remind me of certain little sparkling that stolen my first kiss…on the cheek anyway." The flyer explained that made Skywarp's optics widened.

He always remembered that one dream, where he was a young sparkling helping another stand up on his own.

"I'm Skywarp, what's yours?"

He remembered saying but that white sparkling could he be…no way…it wasn't a dream after all, it was a memory! His mind exploded! It was actually one of those moments that Skywarp never thought he'll have…a memory when he was sweet and innocent. Ever since his mind was washed, he always wondered who he was before he became Megatron's elite soldiers…

"Is something wrong?" Jetfire asked wondering, noticing his expressions. Skywarp looked back at him with a smile; he pulled him into an embrace. Jetfire gasped as he felt uncomfortable in the position. Being hugged like this, he wasn't use to it.

"I'm glad…" Skywarp started to sob.

"Skywarp…" Jetfire called.

"You caught me…" Skywarp said as he lay against Jetfire's chest panel. Jetfire sighed and felt a shock throughout his main. Skywarp had opened his chest panel revealing his bluely spark. Already attempted of pleasure, Jetfire tried to push him aside.

"But it was attempting…" Skywarp recalled.

"Shut up!"
