"Hey traitor, take a look at who we found!" Autobot soldiers growled as a few of them helm back Mirage, as others came out of the dark with a dark purple and black mech.
"Soundwave!" Mirage yelped pulling the autobots that held him back forward after seeing the mechs facless helm.
"Oh yeah we thought you'd cry his name" the autobots laughed throwing Mirage back into a wall as the rest of the mechs beat on him and Soundwave.
"And now for the finale!" Air raid announced pointing and charging his cannon at Soundwave's helm.
"No!" Mirage screamed as Soundwave was blown to bits by the evil aerial bot, waking out of his slumber.
Mirage shot straight up into a sitting position and looked around to see he was in the quiet med bay.
"Mirage are you alright?" Ratchet asked, calmly walking over to the young mech.
"Y...yeah fine, just had a bad dream, thats all..." Mirage bearly spoke to the CMO, as he walked past the old mech.
"Where are you going?" Ratchet asked watching Mirage move towards the doors.
"I was going to find the others..."
"They will come here" Ratchet interupted, recieving an optic roll from the young mech.
"I can handle myself out there, I will be fine" Mirage growled leaving the med bay.
"Damn stubborn kid, just call Optimus, he wont mind stepping out of his office for a moment" Ironhide suggested to the frustrated medic.
"Hey look the traitor finally came out from hiding, were you chatting with Megatron?" an autobot said to some other soldiers, shoving Mirage into the hallway wall.
Mirage restablized himself and ignored them and continued to head down the hallway.
"Hey where do you think you're going?"
"The hell was that!?" Sunstreaker Sideswipe jumped at the sound of a loud bang on their wall leading into the hallway.
"Don't know, lets check it out" Sideswipe shrugged walking out the door with his twin, to see Mirage getting beat on by the other autobot soldiers, one of them being Air raid.
"Hey, get the hell off of him!" The twins growled ripping the soldiers off.
"Air raid I'm going to beat scrap out of you!" Sideswipe hissed as he and Sunstreaker slammed the aerial bot into the wall.
"He's a traitor and you protect him!" Air raid spat as he was punched hard in the abdomen.
"Would you mind explaining what a traitor acts like!?" Sunstreaker snarled at Air raid, as Sideswipe went back to pulling off the other mechs.
"Like Mirage does, un autobot like behaviour, sneeky, and unwilling to do his job on killing off the enemy!" Air raid hissed trying to struggle out of the the golden twins grasp.
"No, you senselessly ganging up and beating on him when he simply enters a room, is un autobot like, he dosen't fight you back and you continue his torture!" Sunstreaker hissed back, throwing the mech to the ground.
"Not to sound like Prowl but, torture is against Autobot protocol!" Sideswipe said slamming a soldier onto the aerial bot.
"You two just hide the fact that this little bastard was trained by Decepticons, to become a Decepticon!" Air raid scoffed firing at Mirage's defensless frame.
"Alright that's it!" The twins snarled going all out on tearing the soldiers and Air raid apart.
"What is going on here, hey get off him man!" Jazz and Arcee gasped running up to the killing match in the hallway, and ripping of soldiers off of Mirage.
"Whoa, brawl in the hall!" Ironhide announced to the two mechs he was walking with.
"Boys Arcee, hey what's going on here!" Ratchet yelled pulling Jazz and Arcee off of a couple of soldiers.
"Sideswipe Sunstreaker what is the meaning of this!?" Ironhide growled as he and Optimus pulled them off of Air raid.
"These freaking psychos are sticking up for this damn traitor, who should be terminated, or given back to the cons!" Air raid shouted jumping to his peds and pointing at Mirage who was sitting on the floor in pain.
Something must have snapped inside of Mirage because the words that came from the aerial bot seemed to finally set him off, Mirage stabbed his blade into Air raids side and threw the mech to the ground and threateningly held his other blade to the mechs neck cables.
"You can have a problem with me you son of a bitch, but do not include the ones who are innocent!" Mirage venomously spoke to the shocked but furious aerial bot.
"Fine sorry kid, I'll put the blame all on you, traitor!" Air raid scoffed struggling under the spy.
"Mirage!" Optimus called trying to stop the current life or death situation.
"Look you have a serious problem with me, lets take this outside and settle this!" Mirage hissed digging his blade into the mechs side even more.
"Fine I'll gladly take that challenge, and put you offline!" Air raid spat as Mirage released him and pushed off of him standing back up.
Air raid left to go outside and waited for Mirage to follow him and meet him outside.
"Mirage you can't do this, this is only making your situation worse!" Optimus spoke in fear and anger with the spy, as Mirage walked out of the base with the others and Optimus in tow.
"I don't even know why I did that... but something has to be done" Mirage said before walking up to the aerial bot being a few feet away from the mech.
"He wont do this, will he?" Arcee asked turning to Ratchet.
"I do not know, Mirage is an unpredictable mech, as you saw moments ago" Ratchet shook his helm and sighed.
"Alright I can't wait to put you into the ground!" Of course Air raid started the trash talk.
"Why am I doing this..." Mirage thought out loud as he stared at the other mech threatening him.
"Come on show me what you cons can do!" Air raid continued to tuant the smaller red bot across from him.
"No!" Mirage answered making the aerial bot jump in surprise.
"I will not be fighting you, I do not wish to harm you in anyway" Mirage said lowering his wrist blades.
"What, you wont be because I'll kick your sorry traitor ass!" Air raid scoffed waving Mirage off.
"No you wont, and I can guarantee that" Mirage shook his helm at the mech.
"Grew an ego did we?" Air raid teased laughing at the small red bot.
"No it's not a matter of ego, it is a matter of skill, and I have the skill that you far and beyond reaching, and I do not wish to use that against a fellow autobot" Mirage continued to keep a cool temper with the aerial bot.
"So you admit you were trained by Decepticons, the rumours were true!" Air raid growled at the red spy.
"Yes I was trained by the Decepticons to become an elite fighting super soldier" Mirage said as he approached Air raid carefully.
"But you came to our base six months old"
"I knew how to kill before I could walk or talk, yes I know" Mirage sighed walking stopping infront of the mech.
"But..."
"So yes I admit I was trained by cons to become one"
"But that still does not explain as to why you did not terminate Soundwave, what is he your fellow con you trained with?" Air raid went back to being hostile.
"You could say that, he helped me escape and sadly he couldn't, and was the only remaining super soldier that fell into decepticon hands" Mirage sighed walking back to the base.
"He must've really cared for you" Air raid scoffed to the spy.
"He's my older brother, that is why I didn't terminate him" Mirage said walking into the base leaving Air raid flabbergasted.
