Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait, I have no excuse for that, but I'm here with Chapter 33!
Chapter 33
"Gah!" They shout as they bolt upright but then "Shadow I'm going to kill you" Sirena says alone.
"Well it worked" Shadow said before bolting out the med bay doors.
"GET BACK HERE YOU FRAGGING GLITCH!" Sirena screams as she follows.
"NO FRAGGING WAY!" Shadow screams back. Sirena managed to tackle her and pinned her to the ground.
"oh c'mon!" Shadow shouted as she wriggled to try and get free.
"Na-uh! No way!" Sirena says as her feeler comes out to hover over Shadows head.
"It for your own good" Shadow insisted as she wriggled. The feeler pressed in closer to her head as Sirena's eyes began to glow. "You seem to forget that I'm meant to protect YOU, not the other way around" Sirena hisses at her.
"Do you think I actually fragging care Sirena?" Shadow hissed, "I will protect you as well and there's no stopping it".
"Don't forget I'm a Decepticon. If I needed protection the council would have issued it. But evidently, I don't, but you apparently YOU do" Sirena showed her true nature for the first time in months as her feeler drew blood from Shadows neck. Shadow whimpered slightly from the blood, "Sirena stop"
But all she did was press harder.
"Sirena stop" Shadow said more firmly. This just pushed her on. There was a reason they called her Sirena. She didn't stop until she got what she wanted. And at that moment she wanted Shadow to scream, just to prove her point. But Shadow didn't - it hurt but she didn't scream. She fought back tears as she wriggled more to try and get Sirena off of her. she really should have known better as it just pushed Sirena harder still. The floor around then was getting stained red as Shadow scratched at Sirena to try and stop her. It didn't work though. As Sirena pushed just a little harder it caused Shadow to scream. This caused Sirena to grin wickedly, her glowing purple eyes only adding to the affect. However, she didn't let up as she normally would, but chose to go deeper, harder. This is the Sirena Shadow had NEVER encountered before. This was the insane, psychotic sociopath that loved to torture and kill. The one that couldn't stop. Shadow screamed again and the tears fell from her eyes, she was growing weak from blood loss. Shadow had stopped struggling at this point. Sirena's mind was screaming for her to stop but she didn't know how. Shadow was struggling to stay awake - she was scared, she knew of Sirena's reputation but she hadn't been at the end of it before and she was scared.
Sirena stopped and got up. She Left Shadow, not bothering to tell anyone, and went back to the nemesis, her hands and feeler still covered in blood, Megatron greeted her soon Arrival. Megatron saw the blood and became interested, "Sirena, care to explain?"
"It's autobots blood" she grinned creepily at him.
"Interesting, pray tell which Autobot?" Megatron asked.
"One currently lying in a pool of blood where the other don't know" she replied with a cackle.
"Hmmm" Megatron hummed pleased - Sirena hadn't been acting like a Decepticon since she got onto the Nemesis but now she was.
"I'm so glad you approve" she grinned.
"So, do we assume that the supply run will continue tomorrow? The Autobots will find the lone one soon enough" Megatron asked/stated.
"Yeah. They really need the stuff. Their more like to just leave Ratchet behind if they find the half dead one" Sirena says as she licks the blood of one of her hands.
"True - once you're done cleaning, would you mind preparing the rest of the Decepticons for tomorrow or are you more likely to kill them?" Megatron asked.
"I would suggest dread wing for it. " she commented randomly.
"I suppose that is smart - Dreadwing!" Megatron said then left to give Dreadwing his orders.
"Hmmmm... pretty" she said to herself as she looked at her hands, her smirk turned down right evil.
"Sirena?" Starscream asked cautiously standing far enough away that her feeler couldn't reach if she decided to attack.
"Screamer! Hiya!" She cackled as she turned to face him and he saw the blood.
"Sirena what have you been up to?" he asked.
"She wouldn't shut up" she giggled. And continued to lick the blood away.
"Who wouldn't?" Starscream asked curiously - she either Arcee or Bumblebee, there are no other femmes at base - he was figuring out.
"Shadow" she whispered and giggled again.
"There's no way" Starscream said shocked, "She's been dead for eons"
"Who do you think told the lie" she said between licks.
"Wow" Starscream said still shocked before it dawned on him, "You cannot let Megatron know! He wanted Shadow alive if she was out there - but of course you already know this".
"She wouldn't shut up. You won't have to worry about her much longer" she giggled again.
"Of course," Starscream replied.
She tilted her head. "You don't seem shocked"
"Well I definitely am - I suppose I'm just masking it well" Starscream replied. She started towards him with her feeler held high, she WOULD attack him if given the chance, he knew that.
"Now is there anything you wish me to attend to otherwise I have some duties set by Megatron" Starscream asked, he was watching the feeler carefully - he knew that if he played in her good books she was less likely to attack even if the chances were slim.
"Will you clean my feeler for me?" She asks curiously.
"Will you in turn attack me or let me walk away?" Starscream asked.
"Depends on how good of a job you do" she smirked wickedly.
"Of course," Starscream replied - he got to work and cleaned it perfectly.
"See? No need to worry. I just can't get the blood off properly" Sirena giggled.
"Of course, not" Starscream replied, he bid her farewell and left to attend to his duties.
Back at the autobots, soundwave was growing worried when the femme didn't turn back up. Shadow was waking up and was trying to get onto the comm link for help. Soundwave decided to look for her on the monitor but couldn't find her anywhere.
"Help" Shadow coughed out.
But he did pick up audio. "KNOCKOUT! Shadows hurt!" He shouts in him comm. KO went to find her recruiting help from the others - Shadow wasn't able to say where she was so they had to search for her. When they found her, Knockout had her moved to the med bay as quickly as possible.
"What in the All spark happened?" Ratchet freaked as they set her on the berth and started to stop the blood flow.
"I don't know! You'll have to ask her!" Knockout said panicked.
"She's unconscious" Ratchet replied equally panicked.
"Then ask when she wakes up! or go fine Sirena!" Knockout replied to him.
"That wound is from a feeler and Soundwave was with me" Ratchet said grimly.
"Sirena" Knockout whispered.
"When we can get her stable we'll have to inform Optimus" Ratchet said as he stopped the bleeding.
"How long till she wakes up?" Knockout asks.
"It could be anytime from now" Ratchet said as he put her on a drip - they had gotten her stable. "someone should watch her at all times - she could wake up panicking"
"I'll do it. I can't sleep anyway" knockout replied.
"What's your problem?" Ratchet asked rubbing his face tiredly.
"If Sirena did this to her family, what would Soundwave do to us if he had the chance?" Knockout asks frightened.
"I don't think you need to be frightened - Soundwave has been known for temper tantrums but not something this extreme" Ratchet said as he watched Shadow making sure that she was still breathing.
"He's done things like this before, worse even. I think I just didn't realize at the time he could turn on me too" Knockout replied a little scared.
"You can stay in the med bay for the time being" Ratchet offered, "he won't want to come in here if he doesn't have to"
"Thank you Ratchet" Knockout replied.
"Yeah just watch her I'm going to inform Optimus" Ratchet said as he walked out the doors
"Come on Shadow. Wake up" Knockout whispered to her. Shadow groaned in response.
"Gah!" He screamed in response. To be fair he didn't expect her to answer. Shadow was somewhat coming back to consciousness.
"Oh, hey Shadow how you feeling?" Knockout asks quietly.
"What happened?" Shadow asked quietly - for the time she didn't remember because she was loopy from being unconscious.
"We were hoping you could tell us. We assume whatever happened was from Sirena" knockout replied.
Shadow had finally woken up and the memory came rushing back. She sat up quickly clearly freaked out.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down, came down!" Knockout coached as Bee, Soundwave, Optimus and Ratchet came in. Shadow looked ahead of her and tried to calm her breathing but she was shaking - she was scared.
"Shadow? What happened?" Knockout asked as he moved around the birth away from Soundwave. Shadow shook her head, she was trying to make sense of it all but she couldn't.
"Just tell us what happened. We can help but not if you don't tell us" knockout assured her.
"Where is she?" Shadow merely asked the others could see and hear the fear.
"I assume on the nemesis" knockout replied. Shadow nodded in relief.
"Can you tell us?" Asks Knockout.
"She attacked me" Shadow stated bluntly.
"I can see that. Wanna go in to more details?" He asks with humour trying to lighten the mood.
"She just wouldn't stop" Shadow said, "She was enjoying it"
"You know she didn't mean it. Sometimes they just need to let loose. Just the wrong place, wrong time" he said to her softly. Shadow didn't say anything as she held her head.
"Shadow. You know she didn't mean it" he said more firmly. Shadow let out a sob - she wanted to believe what Knockout was saying but she couldn't, she was too scared to.
"Shadow. Listen to me. You don't have to trust her yet but give it time. You'll see. She wasn't in control" Knockout replied with a smile.
Shadow merely nodded - she didn't have the energy to fight what he was saying but she knew that he was right.
"Sleep. You need it" knockout said softly. Shadow laid back down and drifted off into sleep. When she was asleep Bee asked, "Will she be okay?" - everyone knew Shadow was strong and that few things actually scared her, so to see her like this was worrying.
"She will be in time" Optimus said wisely. Bee nodded in response, "So what happens now? Do we trust Sirena to come back onto base or what?" she asked.
"She's can't be blamed, but I advise caution until we know that it's out of her system" Knockout replied.
"Okay" Bee nodded.
Back on the nemesis Sirena was looking for something to kill and she found it as she found a group of 3 vechicons. The first two where offlined in seconds but the last tried to run. he didn't get far as Sirena pounced on his back. Her feeler came out behind her and she wasted no time in putting it through his stomach, it won't kill but it will hurt. The vechicon screamed out from the pain. Sirena started carving crude designs into its skin as the blood started to pool.
The more she carved, the less the vechicon responded.
Of course, she didn't kill it, oh no. She wanted everyone to see her handy work. So, when she walked onto the bridge covered in blood with a shaking vechicon going to its station behind her someone was bound to ask a question. Unfortunately, that someone happened to be arachnid, who was talking to Megatron, dread wing and Starscream. Arachnid glared deeply at Sirena having hoped that she had offlined the femme - her glare faltered when she saw the blood and her conversation with the mechs died down at her distraction.
Sirena has come up and hugged Starscream from behind, leaving bloody prints all over his cloths.
"Hello Sirena" Starscream responded.
"Hiya!" She said cheerfully.
"Sirena do you wish to explain yourself?" Megatron asked, gesturing to the blood.
"Oh, Hehe, I forgot about that..." she chuckled.
"Explain" Megatron pressed.
"I engraved a vechicon" she shrugged.
Megatron looked at said vechicon who was trying to do his work but failing from the pain. Megatron sneered a Sirena - she shouldn't have done that to his troops, but besides the look he didn't say anything.
"Oh, and you have two bodies to clean up in the west corridor" she stated. Megatron glared more but just ordered another vechicon to go clean the mess up - he knew not to mess with Sirena when she was in this mood.
