Jazz knew what the outcome would be. He was a quarter of Megatron's size, less than a fifth his weight, and for all his training as an assassin and saboteur, he knew he was hopelessly outmatched by the warlord.

But the Cube had to be protected. Someone had to distract the Decepticon Leader until Optimus Prime arrived.

"You wanna piece o' me? You wanna piece?"

"No! I want two!"

Pain. Splintering, fiery pain. He couldn't feel his legs. Error messages clouded his vision.

There were only two reasons he didn't scream; one, he was Special Operations, trained to resist pain. Two, he knew what he was doing. He would happily give his spark to protect the Cube. To protect his friends, and perhaps even the humans, as young and violent as they were. Really, who were they to complain about that? They had destroyed their planet with their war and violence.

The pain started to fade, along with everything else. Jazz managed one more comm to his friends.

::Nice knowin' ya all. Tell Prowler Ah'm sorry. Good... Good luck...::

::JAZZ!:: someone called back. ::NO!::

Then all was black, and Jazz knew nothing more.
