The only sound that anyone heard was the rain hitting the metal of the bodies of the Autobots and Decepticons. The creature stood it's misshapen head moving awkwardly as it looked at the assembled bots who all looked back with an equal mixture of fear and confusion. In the moments where Sam had no conscious thoughts in his mind something in his spark whispered to him telling him that this thing had been created in the same way the others had but something had gone terribly wrong. His mouth moved without any though of his own as the young Prime said "so is this another one of your friends that the decepticons decided to play frankenstein with". The words were not really spoken as a question but more in the form of an insult to the new leader of the Decepticons. Fury turned hatred burning in his spark like never before as he said "we have nothing to do with that thing". But the comment made by Sam had been heard by the others and the smaller of the Decepticons walked forward shaking in the realization of what this thing could be. "zack, is that you?" asked Unseen hoping that he would receive an answer of "no" from the thing though it didn't look like it could talk. The movement from the creature was subtle as something stirred with in it, the sound was familiar like something from long ago and it caused the thing some confusion as it looked at it's next meal that had willingly stepped forward.
The confused look was missed by no-one and even Fury was forced to acknowledge that there was the possibility that this thing might be his friend. Reaching out with his scanners the Decepticon leader looked the creature over searching for a way to prove that this was just a random abomination created by some kind of accident somewhere deep in space. But his scanners only confirmed the fact that this thing was once Zack. This thing was over whelmed with the energy's of the matrix and they were the only ones exposed to it's power during their transformation. "it's me fury" said the Decepticon leader as he approached the creature, "we'll take you back to scalpel and get you fixed as soon as we kill these autobots losers" he added hoping to reach the thing. The creature tilted it's head as the larger of the energy sources made familiar noises, but the sounds were not enough to drown out the hunger and the creature had already picked out it's target. With a tortured cry that brought everyone to their knees the thing lunged forward in an uncontrolled movement that crushed trees and road alike. A massive arm swept Fury aside as the creature reached for the smallest and potentially weakest of those before it. Unseen froze fear gripping him like never before and as a massive hand closed around him he saw the maw of the thing open allowing long thin tendrils to reach out towards his spark chamber. The small Decepticon squirmed in the grasp of the creature and as the first of the tendrils touched him he let out a cry of pain that caused the others to fall silent.
Sam was finding it hard to stand as this creatures presents was causing him to feel uneasy and weak in a way he had only experienced when looking at it's projected image. The thing was so wrong so alien to him that his systems were having a hard time coping with being so close to it. But that cry of pain cut through everything and in what was the greatest effort of his life Sam deployed his whip sword and swung it at the arm that grasped the small Decepticon. The creature howled in pain as it dropped the small bot to the floor. The damage caused by the strike healed quickly as it had been able to draw some power from Unseen's body. Now angered the thing went into a rage at having it's meal, it's ease from the pain taken away and as the outers watched it's massive arms began to swing around wildly like those of a gorilla. With out thinking Sam reached for fallen Decepticon and pulled him to safety with the others as the rest of the Decepticons put some distance between themselves and the rampaging creature before them. "why exactly did you save him?" asked Simmons who was trying to avoid any debris that bight be sent flying but the creatures actions. "no-one should have to suffer something like that simmons not even my worst enemy" replied the young Prime as he moved the barely conscious Decepticon further out of harms way. "fury it looks like our little match will have to wait until after we deal with this thing so I'm trusting you not to shoot us until after it's dealt with" said Sam as he looked to his Decepticon counterpart. Fury looked at the thing and then at his rival, where the Autobots got the strong feeling that this creature was wrong the Decepticon's felt only disgust towards the thing, disgust that spawned hatred and revulsion.
Fury looked at the collapsed form of Unseen and spoke quietly to both Tank and Interface "we should get out of here and let them destroy each other" said Fury. "what about zack?" asked Interface through the, "you really think that's one of us any more after what he tried to do" said Tank. The pervert Decepticon looked at what had become of his former friend and felt only true Decepticon loathing towards the mass of twisted circuits. "no" he replied as he turned away his face showing only disgust, "then we collect unseen and let that fag and those autobot morons get themselves killed, with luck this wont be a total waste of time and energy" said Fury still in a whisper. Fury and the other Decepticons ran over to the Autobots bringing the number of groups that the creature had to focus on down to just one. "so your gonna help us?" asked Sam not lowering his guard for an instant. Interface moved to Unseen and picked him up with a small nod. "no" replied Fury as he moved to punch Sam in the face while yelling "here's your next meal creature". The young Prime managed to block the attack as the other Decepticons ran off carrying the smaller bot who was still reaching out towards the creature his mouth moving in an attempt to make some kind of speech. Fury quickly transformed and took to the sky fling ahead of his commanders as he yelled back "best of luck with berserker, I'm sure that he'll enjoy feeding on you sparks".
Miles away in the air Will Lennox was pacing worriedly around he alt form of Ironhide as the plane they were in continued to the Moors Cliff as fast as possible. "I don't like this ironhide" said the Major as walked past the headlights of the weapons specialist "they've been out of contact for to long and there have been sketchy reports about more decepticon activity in the area". "you have to remember that sam is with two combat veterans and he's far from defenseless or don't you remember how concerned you were about how destructive he could be during his instability point" said Ironhide. Lennox looked at the the grill of his friends alt and said "at that point in time he was psychotically obsessed with bumblebee and looked like he could rip megatron in two all on his own, right now he's more like him self and lets face it he hasn't exactly come through battles without a scratch". "neither have you" commented Ironhide, "yeh but I never died and I'm not working in a three man team while trying to protect an unarmed human" replied the Major as he resumed his pacing. Ironhide was about to make another observation when the pilot called back over the intercom "were one hour out from the drop zone everybody get ready". This caused Lennox to start pacing faster as if trying to wear a hole in the floor of the plane.
Sam watched as the Decepticons fled the battle with Fury's last jab still ringing in his audio receivers. It looked like the new Leader of the Decepticons was just as ruthless as the old having now left what was once his friend to fight them alone. But there was little time for though as the creature now coming out of it's rage induce tantrum was looking for it's next meal and a little payback for the pain that it had received when it's last meal was interrupted. The huge mass lunged forward but Sam and the others were not such easy targets as it's previous meals and keeping up with their movements on the wet ground was more than it could handle. Every swing, every grab, connected only with the wet ground or rain soaked air. Time and again the thing lashed out and missed and even Apache who was not built for combat on the ground was able to keep him self out of reach of it's clumsy attacks. The three Autobots did what they could to get some distance as they looked for some kind of weakness in it's distorted body, the first to get a clean shot off was Sam and his p-guns steamed in the rain as both blasts connected with the center mass of the creature. But to the shock of the others the blast only left a small wound and before more than three seconds had passed new irregular structures formed covering the wound so it looked as if no damaged had been done. The thing howled in pain with every shot but it had absorbed enough energy to grow new parts over any damage that was inflicted to it's body.
"this isn't good" said Sam as he dodged another clumsy attack made by the creature, "we need to shut this thing down" said Bumblebee as he fired three powerful blast into one of the large arms. Once again the damage repaired it's self though the structures that replaced the destroyed sections were even less organized and did not function at all in places. A howl of pain ripped the air as the creature clutched the once damaged section, the look of hate that crossed it twisted features told all before it that the thing was no longer playing around. With a massive burst of strength the creature slammed both it's massive fists into the ground knocking everyone off their feet. Then it lunged forward each massive fist digging into the road as it pulled it's distorted form towards Bumblebee. The yellow Autobot was trying to get to his feet but the sensation that came with being so close to the creature was now affecting him and he was finding it difficult to move from his current position. Two shots ripped through the air as Sam shot out one of the massive hands that held the creature up. The blast caused another cry of pain that ripped through their sparks as the thing stopped it's advance while the wound repaired it's self. In the short amount of time that he had the young Prime made his way over to his bonded in an attempt to help him to his feet and away from the creature. But it was to little to late as the thing once more resumed it's charge towards them. "come on move" thought Sam as he was now finding that his own body was becoming sluggish and unresponsive. The creature leapt ready to make it's attack and Sam knew that neither Apache or Simmons could do anything to stop it's approach so he braced him self to take to blow head on so he could at least by a few precious seconds for Bee. The mouth opened in slow motion as the thing neared him but then a small flash caught Sam's optic and he watched as a burst of light connected with one of the functioning red optics on the creatures face.
"what the hell happened?" screamed Fury as he looked at the injured hand of Interface, "that little ingrate cut me before he bolted" replied the pervert Decepticon. "where the hell is he going?" asked the Decepticon leader as he looked to the others for an answer. "it looks like he went back towards that thing and the autobots" said Tank as he looked along the road that was now empty "in fact I think he should be there by now" he added. "the little idiot was mumbling something about zack before he took off, I think he's trying to save or stop him somehow" said Interface as he clutched at his hand to stop the energon leakage. "unseen has made his choice" said Fury as his optics burned bright in the darkness "we'll deal with him once this is over and we've found out what happened". Then turning his back the Decepticon leader took off into the storm followed by his remaining loyal commanders. The creature reeled backwards after being hit in such a sensitive place and with it's distraction came a renewed ability to move for both Sam and Bee. They did not wast the the few second that the shot had bough them and were soon running as fast as they could towards the others. Once they regrouped the young Prime noticed the sound of an engine roaring hard in the darkness towards them. The small car quickly transformed and the small Decepticon came running over to them his guns ready to fire but not pointed at them.
"what the hell are you doing here?" asked Simmons as he kept a watchful eye on the Decepticon who had tried to kill them not an hour before. "I'm here for my friend, I wont abandon him like this I want to save him if I can or.." his voice trailed off into a whisper as he continued "at least put him out of the pain he's in" said the small Decepticon. "what's you name?" asked Sam his voice calm and gentle, "when I was human I was called al, now I go by the name unseen" replied the Decepticon. "and your friend?" asked Bumblebee as he pointed to the creature, "he was, is called zack and I want you to help him if you can that's the price for me saving you" replied Unseen. "we'll help him but I don't think there's any coming back from this and I think you know that don't you" said Sam and as the small Decepticon looked at him his red optics faded to a pale blue for a second before returning to their normal red. The young Prime place a hand on the shoulder of Unseen which caused the small bot to flinch and try to pull away from the touch. But Sam kept his hand in place as he said "we have to end this now, we have to end his pain, no one should have to suffer through something like that ever". The small Decepticon looked at Sam and simply nodded in answer as he readied himself to do something that he knew had to be done for the sake of his friend.
