Being captured in her own darkness was an overwhelming and terrifying experience. The pale skinned form began to feel stone cold, as if she was placed into a bath of ice water, just like what most athletes did in order to loosen their tight, strained muscles. That's what it felt like. Her muscles strained, pulled apart piece by piece and replaced by alloy and titanium. The unexplainable pain made her expect that death was on her doorstep to take her into the spirit world. After all, anything was better than whatever was happening in the world outside her subconscious. But why? Why did her body feel like it was missing something? Like a part of her had just vanished the moment she was drugged into a deep sleep. Something obviously wasn't right but she couldn't get herself out of her dream state. At least, not yet…

Known to most, Megatron had envied on the thought of losing to the Autobots once again. The enemy was growing exponentially with the femmes coming through to another dimension and proposing peace between their Autobots and Decepticons. The original Decepticons were quickly becoming outnumbered and it feared the merciless leader. Therefore, he had to make the choice in taking human subjects to grow a more powerful armada in order to take down those who wanted peace. Although, one problem was that Mia wasn't the first. Others had fallen in the middle of the procedure whilst those who were determined to survive, was bound to either retaliate for what Megatron had done to them as a way of gaining revenge.

Shockwave worked non-stop on producing the perfect specimen. He wasn't the type to be cocky but deep down; he knew that no other Cybertronian under Megatron's command had the intelligence for understanding such complex enquiries. Moving from top to bottom, the scientist did what he could in order to keep his test subject alive while tearing Mia's body apart and forming a full Cybertronian exoskeleton. Hours had passed within the intense silence. The protoform was forged as well as a cool blue liquid was pumped into her system. This was merely informing about the species version of human blood; energon. It was a priority that her form was filled with the substance, especially with a rather weak spark that could give out like a flame at any point.

Soon enough, the body was stable; the former human had a steady spark beat as well as an active processor. The transfusion was a success! Now all they could do was to wait for the femme to awaken. With the drug still in effect for the time being, Shockwave gave the unconscious Cybertronian a new paintjob consisting of raven black along with neon green and purple for the design across her chassis and wings. After all, her design was made to be similar to a seeker so her form was sleek and light so she would be able to fly and manoeuvre around at high speeds, along with focusing on her strengths within agility rather than physical strength and brute force.

"Megatron, the outcome procedure was a success. The human has survived…" The mech calmly said through the private communication link. "The new recruit is still unconscious however at the moment." He added. As one of Megatron's most loyal followers, he often gave reports at a constant rate even if his findings were a good attribute to the cause or was just simply took up too much time. The warlord sneered from the positive news.

"Excellent work Shockwave. I shall arrive momentarily to witness the… Subject."

The room fell in silence as soon as Shockwave was authorized to leave the conversation but the peaceful surroundings that came along after the constant screeching and high pitched drilling sounds of the transformation coming into reality, rather than just a well thought out blueprint only just lasted for a short amount of time, just enough to contain one's self control. The sound of hoarse, short groans almost mechanical like, escaped from the female who was in a light recharge at that point. She was close to awakening up with a brand new perspective of a new life.

Megatron came along as she began to regain alertness, his heavy pedes warning the scientist of his oncoming presence. However, for the femme, things were still just a series of dark images padding her vision.

As the mech came through the sliding doors, overpowering as always, his blood red optics immediately setting his sights on whom he last saw as a human. Even the conversion shocked him speechless but only for the odd moment as he advanced the berth covered what was a purple liquid from the merge of Cybertronian and human blood.

"Shockwave, I am impressed. She will be… Perfect…" He stated in a calm and soothing tone, unlike what every soldier has never heard before as they often had to deal with an angered and loud leader. With what he was seeing, he knew that he had to reward Shockwave at some point.

"I have made arrangements so that she will be a similar height for you, my lord as you commanded."

The Decepticon commander nodded within silence, not seeming to want to take his eyes off the femme since he found her servos and digits beginning to twitch slowly at first and then began to speed up. She began to become more active, more parts of her form moving about.

She tried opening her optics, her vision blurred at first since her optics were flickering to become online, revealing them to be a mixture of a sharp golden colour and the new crimson red. Along with so, she felt that her body feeling quite heavy. At first, she believed that it was because of the amount of hours she had been forced into a deep unmindful state. But, as soon as she tried raising her arms, she at first looked at her servos, although even with the hazed sight, her instincts immediately said that something was wrong once she seen not human skin, but metal.

"W-What the hell have you done to me!?" She slurred out in a confused manner, her head swiftly moving from side to side, her view moving from Shockwave, who was a few feet away to find herself staring optic to optic with Megatron far longer than what she would have anticipated. Mia looked away, taking in every detail that the scientist had done. Although she wouldn't say it aloud, she was quite impressed with the work done.

There was amusement on the mech's faceplate at her reaction. Of course, he should have expected this to happen... but still he wondered why she wasn't immediately thanking him for what he had Shockwave do.

"I had you made into something stronger, little femme. You are the first of your kind to have been successfully created here in my lab." He stated which had caused the frustrated Cybertronian to tremble in anger. Not only did they took her by force and changed her completely, but they took other humans before her from the way that they put it. Humans that have died for no reason but for just some sick experiment.

"You had no right to do this…" She muttered, clenching her servos and denta to hold back any sort of loud rage. After all, he was bound to be stronger and could take her down just like that. It seemed that there was no change in terms of their acquaintance. "I was perfectly fine with what I had. A career, a fiancé and now my life has been all for nothing…"

"On the contrary…" Shockwave began. "I had found multiple issues with your human anatomy, especially with your cardiac organ which had been irreversibly damaged. I would have highly recommended that you took the change with gratitude." He replied back, giving a strange aura of darkness and dread just by looking at that one emotionless red optic that seemed to just go through you without any mercy.

Mia was caught off guard by Shockwave's argument which brought an advantage towards Megatron side. She didn't know what else to say. She was completely stumped. Her mouth shut and began to tremble for a moment. She knew that they practically saved her life.

"Now that the matter has been resolved, we welcome you to our base. If only you wish to pledge your loyalty towards the cause." Megatron stated, interrupting the brief awkward silence. To which Mia glanced at him with a sort of drowsy look from just being brought back to reality. And besides, the choice was depending on moral choice. Could she ever face her mother or even her family again? Would they even accept her for being different? Of course, she knew that many 'Bots and 'Cons alike had found peace within their race but so many things could go wrong. If she went, then they could follow along and produce an ambush. If she went and told them what had happened, there would be a fight to the death. She wouldn't be able to handle the guilt at all. With a hesitant nod, she agreed in staying in their base for the time being.

Megatron took consideration with her gesture, his expression remaining neutral. "Very well, allow me to take you to your new quarters." He responded whilst the femme tried to stand in her new form. Ironically, Shockwave just had to give her high heels. She quickly grabbed onto the mech beside her in order to regain her balance but even if she missed the chance, the mech managed to catch her just in time.

Taking the moment to get used to the sudden change of weight, Megatron took the chance to ask the femme a question just out of the ordinary. "What may I address you as?" He asked, the softness in his tone brought even shock even to him. After all, something like that had never happened before even before the war when he was a gladiator in the pits of Kaon. Mia was quite taken aback from how gentle he was being. The one guy who practically threatened her to the point that she became frozen on the spot but it seemed that he was in a good mood so it was probably best to give an answer.

"Mia…"

The Decepticon mech nodded in response before leading the new coming femme down the trail of never ending corridors. It seemed like they had been walking around for a few minutes now since the base was rather huge to her. The darkened hallways had only just a glimpse of light illuminating down into a pitch black nightmare land. The femme stopped the moment as the taller Decepticon had done so or else she would have clearly bumped into him just at how close they had been walking together. He stopped beside a set of doors similar to the one that led to the laboratory however it never contained any sort of keypad in order to lock it. This was quite often the case ever since some Decepticons had often goofed about with experimental technology which often enraged Shockwave.

"This will be your new quarters, Mia… Feel free to look around the base and if you have any problems with my soldiers, com-link me…"

Somehow, Mia felt rather uneasy when he mentioned getting troubled by the rest of the team. Sure, she worked with STARISH; a boy group so she was often surrounded with males in every corner but this was a little different. These mech's were ruthless and controlling from war experience. Whilst the femme was stranded into her own world of thought, Megatron left her alone to do her own thing, allowing her to explore the base in peace. Luckily enough, most of the Decepticons were doing their own thing and outside in the open world, no doubt getting up to mischief. However, upon reaching the opening of the base she finally got to see the night sky once again although everything seemed so clear now. All the stars in the up above seemed so clear and colourful now with her new vision as well as the glow from the moon projecting down onto her armour, giving it a shimmering effect. It was so peaceful. Perhaps she found her own haven out of it all. At least, that was what she thought. As she took the time to just relax into her new life, she heard an unfamiliar voice coming from behind her.

"Well, well… What do we have here?"

Mia turned around to notice another mech, however with a similar body structure as hers. It was obvious that he was a seeker just like her.

"Who are you?" She asked whilst raising an optic ridge in suspicion to his motives most likely since the mysterious seeker in front of her was smirking. That could never mean a good thing.

"I am Starscream, your leader. Now, I order you to come with me or else you will suffer the consequences…" He commanded in an extremely harsh tone, as well walking up to her and grabbing her arm to bring her back inside. Mia growled for once because of her self-defence instincts, bringing back her arm before going in to attack him. However, the mech was far too quick for her attacks. He had experience with flight manoeuvres so the femme was at a disadvantage. She knew she couldn't win. She had to get out of there…

As she transformed into her jet mode that was specifically designed with thanks to Shockwave and his knowledge on transformation cogs, she attempted to control the vehicle and fly away as a tactical retreat, or even get enough space to call up Megatron to form a distress message. However, as soon as she managed to begin the message, something had struck her in her left wing, forcing her to spiral out of control towards the ground at high speeds. At least she could survive the fall with her armour but for how long against Starscream was unknown to her.

The fighter jet crashed into solid ground just as able she was able to transform for minimum structural damage, but even with so, the pain was still quite bad, especially with her left wing with began to leak out energon. It was quite a bizarre sight still to see that what was inside of her was blue instead of red but that wasn't what she needed to focus on at that moment in time. She got herself sat up, however flinching and groaning at having her back slam into pure hard rock, her helm tilted upwards to notice the mech that perused her was coming in fast.

Starscream landed perfectly in front of her in his bipedal mode, his looming presence producing a dark shadow which gave brightness to his scarlet red eyes, filled with hatred and rage. He pointed the rim of his null ray cannons at her spark chamber, causing the femmes eyes to widen in fear and peril.

"Now you must die…"
