Slash stood in the middle of the mysterious room staring at the massive 100 foot high Cylinder tank filled with strange light blue clear liquid, but this wasn't the only thing that caught Slash's attention it was the thing that was in the tank. Swimming inside the tank was a mechanical creature, it had a long neck,broad barrel like body, a long tail that ended with a four bladed tip, four flippers, glowing Red eyes and sporting a gold,red, black and Gray color scheme but what was the most attention grabbing thing Slash saw was the Autobot symbol on top the creature's head.
That badge immediately told Slash that this was a fellow Autobot,Shockwave captured for his twisted experiments, Slam ran into the room and saw what Slash was looking at "Who is that?"He asked curiously "Must be another Autobot Shockwave captured."Slash said glancing at Slam who had a thinking face as something didn't click correctly with him. "Wait a second didn't the cons say that there were two more just like us?"
"Yeah..?"Slash said not understanding why that would be relevant "The numbers aren't adding up,we saw two autobots out there plus us that would make four so where did this guy come from?"Slam asked gesturing to the mechanical Elasmosaurus swimming in a circular motion before stopping right in front of them. Slash began thinking about it the number didn't add up so the only explanation is that the Decepticons lied to them "Well the cons obviously lied to us and..."Slash paused as she noticed that the Dinobot was looking at them.
"Hello?"Slash greeted in a calm friendly manner as she approached the tank with the Dinobot staring at her "Who are you, what's your name?"Slash asked curiously and calmly the Elasmosaurus Dinobot narrowed it's eyes at her, Slam walked over to tank and knocked on the glass making Slash flinch a little "Hello can you hear us?"he asked knocking on the glass again "Stop that."Slash scolded with irritation in her voice "the guy'snot answering, either he can't hear us..."Slam was immediately interrupted by the sound of a masculine voice "I can hear you fine."
Slash and Slam turned towards the aquatic Dinobot "Who are you?"Slam asked "Who are you?"the Dinobots responded "Isn't it obvious, we're autobots prisoners just like you."Slash said the aquatic Dinobots mearly scoffed in disbelief "yeah right, who are you guys really, are you Shifters sent by Shockwave to mess with me?"
"What no primus no, we're telling the truth here,my name is Slash,student of the Cyber Ninja academy one of the top of my class,I was at the escape pod launch pads until i was apparently attacked by the cons back in Iacon."Slash explained as Slam spoke up next "I'm Slam,the same thing happened to me i was at iacon when the Decepticons attacked the launch pads."
The Aquaic Dinobot narrowed his eyes again after absorbing their words and then a memory rushed into his processors,he was in iacon helping with the evacuation as well and he began to recall seeing brief glimpses of them there although he didn't interact with them as it was chaotic. "Huh you know i think i saw you two there,but I'm still not convinced, you could still be shifters."the aquatic Dinobot said skeptically "Oh for Primus sake.."Slam said now becoming irritated and he was actually thinking about actually leaving him there.
"Look uh... I'm sorry i still didn't catch your name?"Slash said "Paddles."the aquatic Dinobot plainly said Slash paused for a moment as she heard of that name before "Wait Paddles, weren't you on Seaspray's undersea crew before he joined up with the Wreckers?"
Paddles looked at Slash a little surprised that she remembers that Seaspray lead a crew of undersea specialists or that anyone remembers them,"Yeah i was apart of his crew suprised anyone rememers them."Paddles said "Well it's because you guys were so short lived."Slam said with a shrug "Look Paddles, I'm telling the truth here we aren't Decepticons or Shifters we are fellow Autobots like you, who was ambushed, taken prisoner,experimented on and given this strange beastal forms."Slash said as she and Slam transformed to the respective Velociraptor and Ankylosaurus modes making Paddles eyes widen a little bit as Slash and Slam transformed back to robot mode.
"You and i both know who's to blame for that."Slash said as Paddles let out a soft growl knowing that Shockwave did this to him and Like Slash and Slam Paddle want to tear him to shreads for what he has done. "Come on Paddles trust us."Slash pleaded Paddles stared at Slash still a little skeptical of Slash and Slam's intentions although he did want to get out of there and these two was his ticket.
Paddles was about to respond until he saw a group of deceptions run through the large gaping hole Slam made pointing there guns at them "Freeze!"one of them ordered Slash and Slam stared at the group of cons before glancing at Paddles tank and an idea formed in her head. "Ok guys you caught us we surrender."Slash said raising her arms in the air "Wha..what are you doing?"Slam asked looking at her with confusion "Put your hands up."Slash said firmly making Slam raise his hands up.
"I'm afraid surrender isn't an option at this time, Shockwave has ordered your execution."One of the Decepticons said "Ah yes of course well can i just say a few last words there's something i need to get off my chest?"Slash asked making the Decepticons look at each other in confusion and then back at Slash.
Although they didn't actually care they were curious on what stupid thing Slash could say as he last words "All right what do you have to say?"one of the Decepticons asked.
