To live and To Die part1

Space. An endless black void. Stars wink at the passing planets while asteroids and comments lazily go about their way. In space you are not expected to survive on your own. And this, is true. Without the help and love of others, we, as one, could and will never survive.


Drifting in this soundless atmosphere one mech slowly understands what it really means to be alone. Normally a talkative bot around friends the speedy mech found that even if he wanted to, he couldn't. Audio transmitter crushed too a point where normal repair would not suffice, this wasn't the only problem for him. His legs, arms, and head had been crushed. Squeezed together until all thirteen feet of him was remade into a cube. Fortunately for the blue speedster he was able to position himself so that his spark chamber would not be crushed, saving his spark from extinction. Aimlessly floating with no way of contacting help the bot realized that this would not be the case for long.

On the quiet planet of Cybertron, deep within autobot command center a young femme paces back and forth in her quarters. Reports had come in that the intelligence bot Blurr had gone missing. None had seen the speedy mech in over two orns. Rubbing her hands together the blue and purple femme did not notice a yellow mech step through the door way.

''Hey Wavedagger. What's up?'' Asked the mech.

Pausing the femme looked worriedly at him.

''It's Blurr Hotshot! He's gone missing!'' Wavedagger exclaimed.

Hotshot looked at her and rolled his optics.

''Yeah he is. That's why he's an intelligence bot! Blurr's really good at disappearing!''

A flash of anger swelled inside Wavedagger's spark. Lashing out she struck the surprised mech across the helm.

''Hey!'' Hotshot whined.

''What was that for!?''

''Don't you think I'm aware that Blurr sometimes goes out of contact range!? This is different. Scouts have been sent out to find him but everyone has the same results. What if something really bad happened to him Hotshot!?'' The femme cried.

''Uh....Okay I guess you have a point.''

''Have a- I thought you were pals with him!'' Wavedagger yelled, storming out of the room and walking down the hall.

''No that's Rodimus you're confusing me with!'' Hotshot shouted after her.

''....Stubborn femme.....'' The yellow mech mumbled as he too exited the room.

Wavedagger sighed in frustration. Blurr was one of her closest friends and now that he's gone everyone just sort of, dismissed the problem.

'I should have gone with him. Maybe, none of this would have happened.' Wave thought sadly.

Scuffing the pale gray floor with the bottom of her foot she didn't notice the black and white mech. Dragging her feet Wave's right foot got caught in a crack, causing the femme to fall forward. Reaching out the mech grabbed her just before her hands made contact with the cold metal.

''Hey easy there! You okay Wave?'' Came a familiar voice.

Lifting her head Wavedagger stared into the friendly face.

''O-Oh sorry about that Jazz. Jeez I can be such a klutz.'' She said, straitening herself.

''Any news on Blurr?'' Wavedagger asked hopefully.

Jazz simply shook his head.

''We have reason to believe that Blurr...may not be online.'' The ninja said sadly.

Wavedagger could feel her knees begin to shake. Swaying a little the blue femme rested her hand on the wall.

''W-What do you mean?''

''Longarm Prime was a decepticon agent also known as Shockwave. He is currently in custody and the confession was just obtained.'' The black and white mech said in a sad voice.

Tears formed in the corner of Wavedagger's optics. Her best friend was dead. The only bot she could hang out with that new how to have a good time. And all because of that fragging decepticon. A sudden flare of anger replaced her sorrow in her spark chamber. Straitening, the femme stepped back from Jazz.

''Where is he?''

He figured the stellar cycle couldn't get any worse. Get captured by autobots, plans on Cybertron's domination foiled, and so on.  Kicking an empty container that once held energon the con sighed. All his hard work in keeping his identity a secret for nothing.

''What a waste.'' The con mumbled.

Beside him another decepticon grumbled.

''Oh stop your petty complaints Shockwave.'' The gray mech growled.

''Sorry lord Megatron.'' Came the reply.

Staring at the empty cup Shockwave couldn't help but feel totally bored out of his processor. The stockades were nothing to feel comfortable in. Water dripped from the ceiling as cyber mice scurried across the floor. One light glowed faintly in the middle of the room, barely giving off enough light for a bot to see his own feet in front of him. Shockwave had nearly dozed off when a blinding light illuminated the stockade. Blinking a few times the violet con stared up at at a dark figure. It wasn't one of the guards or one of the  few regular autobots to come to the stockades. Mildly wonder the the bot was doing there, Shockwave was surprised when the figure made it's way over to his cell. A clicking sound was heard as the door was slowly opened.

''Is it true?'' Came a surprisingly feminine voice.

Uncertain and feeling cornered Shockwave stared up at the dark face.

''What?''

''Did you offline the intelligence bot Blurr.'' Came the reply in a growl.

Shockwave sighed and leaned back on the wall.

''Yeah. I did. I thought all you automutts already knew that.''

What happened next the con wasn't expecting. A sudden force slammed him further into the wall. Servos pinched his shoulders as a knee made contact with his torso. Letting out a grunt the con stared up in shock.

''I'm going to make wish you were never protoformed.'' The voice seethed.

A bright light blinded Shockwave as wing's unfolded and bombarded the con with energon daggers. The ground around him exploded as cracks appeared all over his body. Covering his face plate Shockwave could feel the lubricants flowing from his body. In no time the cell smelled of the foul sweet sent and choked the con's intakes.

''W-Who are you?'' Shockwave asked weakly, his vision fading from the loss of energon.

''Me? I'm your worst nightmare.''
