Chapter Nine: Force

"BRING HER BACK!" Aurorah screamed for what felt like the hundredth time. Her hands were becoming raw from banging on the box. But she didn't care. She had to get out. She had to help Ana. Hadn't she gone through enough?

"For Primus sake, shut up femme."

She glared furiously in the direction of Sunstreaker's voice.

"You shut up. Shockwave will torture her. She's been through enough already." She hit her fist against the box one more time before sliding down on her butt. "Why couldn't it be me?" She whispered. She could only imagine what Shockwave was doing to her.

'Maybe he's cutting her up.' Vegeta offered.

'Oh, maybe we should make a game.' Nappa suggested.

She lifted her head slightly. Oh to hell with it they were back. She had found that she hadn't been hearing them since bonding with Jazz but it seemed that without her mate and the stress, they had come back. Maybe her therapist had been right; she only heard them as a coping mechanism. Although right now, the voices only seemed to make her angry.

She covered her ears and screamed. "SHUT UP! YOU'RE NOT HELPING!"

"Who the slag-" Sunstreaker didn't get to finish his question as the door to the brig opened and a group of cons lead by Barricade entered the room. His optics zeroed in on the cell and he smirk devilishly.

"You to get the Autobot, I'll deal with the human."

Aurorah gasped and squeezed herself tight into a corner of the box. She knew it wouldn't help but she tried anyways. Barricade glared wickedly down into the box before reaching a clawed hand down into it to grab Aurorah. She struggled but it was no use. Her arms were tightly held against her body in his hand. He brought her close to his face and sniffed at her before scoffing and turned towards Sunstreaker.

"You two put the sedative in him and let's go. I don't want to have to hold this disgusting fleshy for more than I have to."

The two cons gave a tight 'Yes sir' before closing in on Sunstreaker. He fought against his bounds and cursed at them in his language, but had no way to fight back when one sucker punched him on the side of his head. The other con used the opening to jam a syringe full of green liquid into his neck cables. Sunstreaker growled before slamming his head into the other con's. The mech fell to the ground, knocked out.

"Tch."

Aurorah struggled as Barricade walked closer to Sunstreaker.

"Let me go you big dumb brute!"

The hand holding her tightened and she gasped.

"I'd shut my mouth if I were you, fleshy."

Barricade nudged Sunstreaker with his foot when the drug started to take effect. He glared up at him but his motor control was severely slowed. Barricade grinned.

"Alright. Grab him and let's go."

"But what about the other guy?"

The con pointed to the knocked out grunt on the floor.

"Leave him. Let him rot in the cell for a bit for falling prey to a shackled prisoner."

Aurorah growled as she tried to move in Barricade's hand but there was no budging.

"Dammit! Where are you taking us?!"

She hesitated as he looked down at her with a wicked gleam in his red eyes.

"Just going to see Shockwave for a few…tests. He really wants to see what you're capable of, aren't you excited?"

Aurorah struggled in the clawed hand that held her as they walked through the darkened, metal hall. The claw was uncomfortably tight around her midsection and it she felt like it would snap her ribs if he squeezed his hand any tighter. She screamed when a claw dug into her side and blood rolled down her side.

"Hey, loosen up on the fleshy, deceit-creep!"

Aurorah heard the sound of metal on metal and watched as Sunstreaker was kicked to the ground. The Decepticon escorting him laughed before stomping on his head. Aurorah cringed and closed her eyes when she saw him cough up a bit of blue fluid.

"Oi, don't damage the goods too much. You know how Shockwave gets when his toys are damaged by anyone else."

Aurorah glanced up at Barricade before looking back at Sunstreaker. He was bent over on the ground, fists clenched tightly behind his back. No doubt being tormented like this and not being able to do anything about it was infuriating to him. Sunstreaker was too prideful a mech to stand anything less.

She locked eyes with Sunstreaker when the Decepticon brought him roughly back to his feet. She let out a weak smile when he gave her a determined glare; no doubt he was already planning a way to escape from the base. She could only hope it would be in time. She dreaded what they had planned for them; being alone with Shockwave was never a good thing.

Aurorah closed her eyes when they walked into a brightly lit room. The change from a dark hallway to a bright light had been too sudden.

"Good, you've brought them."

Aurorah's eyes opened and the first thing she saw was Shockwave's imposing form, darkened by the light coming from behind him. His single, red eye glowed out ominously from the dark.

Her eyes widened even further when she saw the room she was in. The room was covered in what looked like surgical gadgets as well as different cybertronian parts. She clenched her eyes shut and turned her head when she saw the top half of an Autobot attached to cables hanging from the ceiling.

"Strap the Autobot down."

Sunstreaker struggled but it was in vain as his hands were secured tightly to the metal berth; both his arms and legs were strapped tightly with a reinforced cybertronian metal. There was no chance for escape.

"Good. Strip the human while I make the needed calculations."

Aurorah squeezed her eyes shut as Barricade grinned at her nastily and used his claw to shred her clothes off. A shiver went through her body when she was fully exposed to the cold room. Her eyes glanced back at Shockwave and she dreaded what he had planned. What were they going to do that required Sunstreaker bound and her naked?

Shockwave came back to Sunstreaker and started attaching wires to various parts of his body; some he even took his armor off to get to vital cords. Aurorah clenched her eyes shut when she heard Sunstreaker scream from Shockwave drilling into him.

Tears escaped her eyes but she couldn't wipe them away, her arms were held tightly against her sides. She never realized it before, before coming to this world, how bad the Decepticons really were. They weren't just the "cool" side anymore; they were…they were something she didn't want to have to face. She would rather be back with the Autobots…back with Jazz.

Oh Jazz.

"There, everything is ready. Stand by while I get this Autobot's spark chamber open."

Shockwave placed the tips of his claws in the groove in the center of Sunstreaker's chest and started pulling. Aurorah could hear the metal bending as Shockwave slowly pulled his chest open. She watched as Sunstreaker fought against his bounds and threw screaming curses at Shockwave. The glowing blue spark in the center of his chest was fully revealed now.

What are they…?

"Bring her."

Aurorah got brief motion sickness as she was brought quickly over to hover above the Sunstreaker's spark.

"Now hold her still."

Wires came down from the ceiling and circled around both of her arms and legs; they held her just above Sunstreaker's spark with her arms and legs spread. Her eyes widened with fright when the realization of what they had planned came to her.

No…no, no, NO!

She struggled as tears fell down her cheeks. No matter how much she moved, the wires wrapped around her never budged. She peered down at Sunstreaker through watery eyes.

"I-I'm sorry…I'm s-so sorry!"

Sunstreaker grunted before glaring up at her.

"Calm down fleshy, I do need your gross fluids on me on top of everything else."

She clenched her eyes shut but tears still flowed from her eyes. Any other time…any other time and she might have jumped at the chance of this…but not like it was happening now. Not against his will…not against hers!

Aurorah let out a silent scream as pure energy filtered down the wires and into her. Her skin burned as the glyphs from before wrote themselves into her flesh. She wanted to claw at them but the wires kept her from doing so. She looked down and through the blue glaze that was covering her eyes she saw her body getting closer and closer to Sunstreaker's spark. She screamed at them to stop but it did no good as the wires finally released her and she was plunged into a bright light. The moment she touched the light, that blue spark that had come from her chest when she had bonded to Jazz appeared and lunged for the bigger brighter spark.

She though she heard Sunstreaker scream but it had only come out as garbled static. She watched as Sunstreaker's spark swallowed up hers and then move towards her. She wanted to move but she couldn't and she was taken in as well.

In that moment, all she felt was pain and pleasure as Sunstreaker's spark melded with her. She felt limp, all her energy to do anything wiped away and she was left only to feel. She could see all of his memories flash through her mind, memories of Sideswipe, of the gladiator rings and of the war. She saw how he was the more emotional of the two. She saw his artwork and through all this, she could only feel like she was violating him. Seeing things she wasn't given permission to.

Aurorah could feel Sunstreaker trying to fight the bond and she wondered why he was even trying. They couldn't stop it. But she admired Sunstreaker's strength. He was able to do what she could not, fight back. All she could do was float in this cloud of pain and watch, hoping they would make it through alive.

It was through listening to Sunstreaker's staticy cursing that she could feel a twinge in her bond to Jazz and she tried to reach only for it to leave as fast as it came. Her mouth opened in a scream but nothing came out and she cursed to all the gods she could think of for putting them through this.

It wasn't long though before she started feeling her consciousness fading. She needed to rest, to let the pain ebb away and the warm spark was started to lull her into sleep. She felt Sunstreaker too was succumbing to rest and she could only apologize before she was blanketed by darkness.

Ratchet sighed as he worked in his med-bay. The last two days had been horrible; with both of the girls in Decepticon hands and Jazz almost losing his spark, again, things weren't looking very bright. And on top of all that, they had no leads as to where the girls were. He sighed again before grumbling and heading towards the berth Jazz was laid out on.

The damage to Jazz had been nothing to laugh at. The shot had burned straight through most of his torso, just below where his spark chamber was located. He twitched at the irony of the wound being in the same place as where he got ripped in half. He wasn't ready to lose Jazz again so soon, not if he had anything to say about it.

He brought a soldering iron and a clamp over the wound and was just about to get to work when a sudden jolt from Jazz made him stop. Jazz was still before his eyes flew open and started screaming like no tomorrow. And he was writhing around…agitating his wounds.

"Shit!"

Ratchet threw his tools down before leaning over Jazz and trying to keep him as still as he could. He opened his comm-channel.

:Someone get to the med-bay, now!:

Ratchet was using all of his strength to keep Jazz from injuring himself more when Ironhide stormed in with a pained Sideswipe leaning against his shoulder.

"Well don't just stand there, help me hold him down!"

Ironhide quickly but gently set Sideswipe against the wall before going over to Jazz to help hold him down. He grunted in frustration before glancing over at Ratchet.

"What the hell's going on doc-bot?"

"Hell if I know!"

Slowly the convulsions settled down and Jazz's eyes closed once more; his body was still slightly twitching from the apparent seizure.

Ratchet growled before starting to patch up newly opened wires that were spilling energon. Sideswipe slowly stood up from his position on the ground.

"Ratchet…"

"What is it? I'm busy at the moment as you can see."

"Ratchet…I know where they are."

Ironhide turned narrowed eyes onto Sideswipe.

"What?"

"Aurorah…Ana…Sunstreaker…I know where they are."
