Summary
In the midst of the endless Great War on Cybertron, Uzi, a young drone and massive Megatron fan-girl, flees her underground colony. Her hope being to join the Decepticon cause and help bring forth a new age golden age that was promised to her kind millions of years ago. However, many secrets hide within the outer surface of Cybertron, and Uzi finds herself caught within a plot to keep the war from ever truly ending. Each secret is more damning then the next, with Uzi learning that Shockwave, the Decepticons' cold and calculating scientist, would be the key to everything.
As well, an Autobot of the Disassembly Squad, N, discovers a similar plot within the ranks of the Autobot. Slowly begins to learn to question the orders of acting commander of Elita-1 and his human owners, as he finds the war to be a simple excuse for violence. Wishing only to be like his hero, Optimus Prime, N seeks a way to end the war. To do so, he will even form a friendship with a Decepticon named after a gun.
Forced to defy their own factions, both drones will ignite a path to freedom together—or remain pawns in an endless, devastating war. Only Primus will know.

Cross-posted with archive of our own, under the same title. This story is sit in a crossover setting where it is that all Drones are Cybetronians. Like canon, Drones still wearing clothing, but all have within them T-Cogs to transform. This fic takes inspiration through many parts of transforms. Mostly that of IDW, but also that of G1, Animated, Marvel Comics, Beast Wars, One, and more.
