"I'm sorry for not even stopping by to say hi. The draconian lifestyle is a bit busy at the moment but that's not my excuse because there isn't one," I apologized to the three ex-Cons while we are strolling to the Auto Rec. room, we are going to hang there for a little before Prowl lets the Terror twins out today.

Barry shakes his helm and brushes off the apology. "Don't worry about it, we heard and saw your fight with Starcatcher. Good job on beating the slag out of her, she needed to learn a lesson or what humans say 'get a taste of her own medicine'," Barry commented. The only one my mind remembers on being there was Jazz and the Terror twins but I was too focused on killing the bitch to notice anything else.

"You were there?" I questioned and received a nod to confirm my question, "Hmm, I must have not seen you. I was kind of more focused not getting killed by the bitch that needs to learn a great lesson not to mess with the most dangerous creature in the world. If it wasn't for the twins, I would have ripped her bolt from bolt to make sure to get my point across." A hiss was added to my words to express my anger towards the femme bot that isn't here.

All three laughed at my choice and words like it was cute but I pushed it off as they haven't seen me in battle yet. The day is soon to come and everything that I love will be protected by me, I will kill and destroy everything and everyone who dares gets in my way. "The ending battle is soon to come; you better pay close attention to how I kill because I might challenge one of you to a spar when we win."

"Midnight, don get too cocky. Your rivals and ours are very dangerous and you know this or you would have demolished them way back when you had the chance," Breaky spoke up with truth in his words. Jasper is a strong team and has the necessary supplies to easily kill me if they wanted but they do like to play with their toys, which I'm one of those toys.

Rolling my eyes and flicking the side of Barry's head (I'm sitting on his shoulder for the fun of it), I let a small smile play lips. "I'm not cocky, maybe I like to play with my toys and Jasper are those toys that I like to play with. Just be quiet or I'll shut that mouth of yours with ice. You know ice is bad for the gears," I teased with my smile turning into a smirk.

That shuts Breaky up quickly and he didn't open his mouth until we got to the Auto Rec. room. "Wow, this is where most your human tax dollars are going." Does breakdown know about human tax dollars? Does he study humans? That would be a little weird because humans are weird and why would you want to study their strangeness?

It would be rude to trash on him about his studies as I let him do what he does. The three sat down on the couches given to them; Knocky and Breaky sat on the loveseat while Barry sat on the chair Jazz usually snuggles in. My wings unfurl and stretch out as a slight feeling of soreness could be felt.

The hole in my wing wasn't nearly as big as it was when Ratchet did his surgery; it was about the size of an oversized grape by now and was healing nicely without any problems. Though while stretching them out, Knocky must have seen it and pointed it out for everyone else to see. "Midnight, what happened to your wing?"

Shrugging my shoulders to show it was nothing other than a hole, I furl my wings back in to remove the evidence from plain view. "Nothing much, just happened during a scuffle with a human," I lied (I learned it from a special someone) smoother than the top of a frozen lake before jumping down on the armrest of the chair.

All three pair of optics turned to me with all holding suspicion in their optics. I guess the top of the top of a frozen lake isn't smooth as my mind thought as Barry scoped me off the armrest and held me carefully in servo; he uses his other to pull out my right wing and looks over the small hole in it. "You're an amazing liar if no one is really suspecting it but we know you to lie if you don't want us to know about an injury," Barry commented. It true though, I rather suffer in silence than let everyone know in the area that I'm injured.

"Just be quiet, it's nothing you really need to know about or worry yourself over. Now, could you please let go of my wing and set me down on the armrest once more before you'd rudely picked me up?" I requested and he doesn't do what I asked. "Darling, please. It's nothing to worry yourself over." Using sweetness on him still didn't work on him and he gave me an annoyed expression.

"If I knew your real name, I would say it menacing to get the truth out and saying Midnight menacing isn't all that scary. Anyway, if it is nothing as you say, then why don't you tell us and we can get it over with and get on playing a game," Knockout spoke up from his spot next to Breakdown. Why do people/bots have to be so stubborn?

In the end, they kept pushing to know what happened to me and I finally gave in. They wanted to tear (I'm slightly surprised at them being protective over me. At least it wasn't as bad as the twins on a good day) apart Jasper for hurting me and I had to calm them down (more like distract them with a game).

They, Knocky and Barry as it's a two person game, classically played the game 'Need for Speed' and raced each other in their own style of cars, using their real-life colors in the game. The two of them played around when I could feel the twins growing nearer and nearer, quickly might I add. It worried me, thinking either they were let go from the brig or the bond is acting up. Hopefully, it was the latter but you know luck isn't on my side.

Springing up and using my wings to heighten my body into the air, it was in time to as the twins appeared in the door frame of the hangar. Both glared (it was terrifying to me and that says a lot) at the three ex-Cons around and automatically rushed forward to defend what is theirs.

Instead of letting them hurt my newly made friends, I froze their pedes to the floor so they couldn't move any closer. "Could you guys not? And before you give me any bullshit about you protecting me from the 'enemy', these bots are my friends and will continue to be my friends no matter what you say or do, got it?" I growled, acting like the boss that I am. They cannot and will not control my life, that is a big no-no and I believe they finally got the message.

Sides hangs his head lowly in shame while his brother only got rid of the scowl on his face; improvement. "Okay, good. Now that is settled and you won't be bothering these bots, I will release under one condition: you will never hurt these bots mentally or physically and that goes for both sides. I'm picking one over the other and I'm trying my best to be equal," I offered. The twins agreed to my conditions and were let go as said.

"I will hang with you for a while since you guys were put in the brig," I commented and turned to the ex-Cons to my right and behind me, "I'll see you guys around and don't get into too much trouble while I'm gone." Knocky gives me the famous bird and the other two roll their optics at my antics.

My claws make a small clicking noise as they touched down on Sides' shoulder and I sit on my haunches to steady myself on his moving frame. The red frontliner doesn't say a word to me for maybe scratching his paint; his twin would most likely ordered me to fix it, which wouldn't have worked in the first as I don't know the proper way to repaint a car or even buff.

They take me back to their room for the time being. Sunstreaker gets back on working on a drawing that I have to see while Sides take me over to his berth and lays down with me still on his shoulder. He whips out a datapad out from underneath a huge blanket to fit his large frame and glances at me with a hopeful look on his face. "Want me to read some stories to you?" he questioned. This might be a way for him to get me to forgive, which I do; remember he is too adorable to stay mad at for long periods of time.

There wasn't really much for me to do except sleep and I'm tired enough to fall asleep for a couple of hours. "Sure, got nothing else to do," I agreed and began to read me stories of his datapad. The first one was a 'once upon a time' type of story, the second was a mystery, and the third was a horror and sure it was actually a scary one. It was written by Stephen King I believe and damn, he sure writes great stories for horror.

It was later in the day when a small knock sounded on the door, giving me the impression it is a human. Sides gets off his berth, goes over to the hangar door, and opens it. My impression was on the spot as it was a human and surprising enough it was my father. He glances at me to make sure my well being is fine before changing his gaze to the large, red bot in front of him.

"Sideswipe, is it?" Zayden questions and receives a nod to confirm his question. "Hello there, I'm Zayden, A-I mean Midnight's father. I have heard from a source that you are in a relationship with my daughter also with your twin Sunstreaker. I do not have a problem with her being in a relationship with two people, it's her choice but I would like to talk to the both of you, alone."

Surprise and horror washed over my face at his words reaching my ears. He knows I'm in a relationship and wants to talk to them alone when I'm not there to protect them from my father's wrath. He's worse than Ratchet on a bad day and will kill everything that opposes him and his daughter being together. He already lost Mother a long time ago and lost my brother to the darkness of my mother, he doesn't want to lose me too and I understand that.

"Midnight, please leave and do not stick by the hangar," Zayden requested with his voice firm, not leaving me to argue. Glancing at the two quickly before heading out of the open hangar door, I knew to listen to my father so my wings took me to the main hangar. What also surprised me was Zayden called me Midnight (he almost messed up by calling me by my real name) and must have heard it from talking with the people of N.E.S.T. Might as well see if I can gain any information about what's going on.

Mister Hissy Bossy Human with his right-hand man next to him are speaking with Jacob about somethings of Jasper. Mia is standing next to Jacob as his right-hand woman and spots me hovering in the air. "Midnight, if you don't get your ass over here, I will drag you by your tail over here," Mia shouted and interrupted the speech Jacob was giving.

It would be the dumbest idea in the world not to listen to her, she's scarier when she wants something and won't stop until she has it. Listening to the scary human that is my friend, I land on the catwalk that they are on and Mia immediately wraps her arms tightly around me. "Hi! Friend!" she greeted happily and continued to hug me until Jacob literally had to pull her off of me.

Major Lancaster scowled at me with a hint of playfulness underneath it. "All I need to say is what the fuck? You come back after three years of you being missing then say you have to leave which you did, your father was not happy about that. Then you come back once more, asking for our help and take us where there are giant alien robots." He gave a 'WTF' expression and crossed his arms over his chest. Mia follows after him, she has a crush on him (well she did when I was with her for that one year and she still acts like she does), and also crosses her arms over her chest.

Shamely turning my gaze to look at the ground and using my claws to itch the invisible itch on my neck, I shrug my shoulders like it was nothing; that didn't set with him so well. "Anyway, before you blow another three gaskets, I already told you guys my reasoning for leaving. But you guys are going to make a big deal about it so I'm just going to shut my mouth and sit here like a Barbie doll," I sassed like a bitch and sat on the guard rail of the catwalk.

Mia rolled her eyes at me and pushed me in a playful manner, which was not a good idea as I'm sitting on a thin piece of metal. My body falls back and off the guard rail but with my quick reflexes, my tail wraps around the railing and keeps from falling to a painful healing process. I hang there for a few moments to catch my breath and glare at Mia leaning over to see me hanging upside down.

Doing an air sit up and grasping the railing to make another fall doesn't happen again, I flick the brunette haired girl in the forehead for doing something stupid. "You are so lucky I have quick reflexes or the battle that is soon to come would have been slightly harder." She nods with her eyes wide open from the shock still running through her veins.

"Are you okay though? At least you caught yourself," Jacob spoke with authority running in his voice. Nodding my head and sending a small glare towards Mia, I sat back on top of the railing after the danger was over and secured myself with my tail.

Major Lancaster and Sergeant Major Valdez (Mia) continued to talk with the two annoying humans, well Epps isn't that bad. When I tried to leave since they didn't invite me into the conversation, Mia grabbed me by the horn and held me there to tell me to stay.

Finally, they finished with their talking (mostly talking about the arrangements of the Aztec soldiers staying here) and Mia said she wanted me to stay and listen to what they were saying. Three seconds into their talking, I tuned my ears out and was not listening to even a quarter of what they were talking about.

We split ways after the whole thing and I took off in the air, hopefully, something can grab my attention until Jasper decides to attack. An idea came to mind and even though they spotted me, I can camp out on the outside of the base and watch for any movement; they are very close to being ready for the hopefully final battle against good and bad.

Pumping my wings to take me closer to the base and soaring right above the tallest of trees, my eyes spot where the base is off in the distance. I stop about a football field away just to be safe and strip the clothes off of my body so my scales to camouflage better and keep me hidden from human eyes.

My feet made no noise as they carried my body swiftly through the forest, closer to my objective. I reached the base quickly, taking a hidey spot behind a fallen tree with a clear sight of the cave and covered up all my tracks up with new snow. It looked slightly off and if you were looking really at them, you would be able to figure out that someone is here.

A couple of hours have passed waiting here, sitting on my haunches was not a good idea as the muscle began to get tight. That wasn't part of my attention as the noise of multiple vehicles making their way up the hill out of the cave took my attention. Sitting still as not to draw any attention to me, my eyes watched about one hundred and thirty bulky vehicles exited the cave and heading straight towards the direction of the base. They were making their move now.

Taking off into the air and pumping my wings as fast as possible (I was probably going faster than my fastest speed) to make it to the base before the vehicles, I reach it in an outstanding thirty seconds. I rush to where the main hangar is to alert Lennox or the highest ranking officer nearby to sound the alarm.

William and Zayden are staying on the catwalk, having a conversation between each other and spot my erratic actions. Without missing a beat, I shouted at the top of my lungs this: "sound the alarm, Jasper is coming!" before heading away from the Main Hangar towards the twin's berthroom. They could feel the dread and anxiety literally pouring from my side of the bond and were trying to speak to me over the bond. My mind paid no attention to the voices and only wanted to see them safe and sound before the battle starts.

An alarm goes off and soldiers are pouring out of all the hangars, grabbing their weapons to ready themselves for the battle about to start. By the looks of it, we were about matched with them with a few less than them but with me; I would make up for those humans missing.

The twins and I met each other halfway and assessed each other on the spot. Nothing seemed to be wrong and we headed towards the middle of the base where all the soldiers of both N.E.S.T and Aztec working together as one. Hopefully, we can defeat the enemy and making it out of alive while slightly saving the world at the same time. Wouldn't that be fun to tell the grandchildren that we were part of saving the world with the help and great-grandpa?

The black suits of Jasper appeared through the silver cyclone fencing while the Decepticons could easily be seen from how tall they are. The Cons cut down the fence for their human companions to get through while we waited patiently for them to attack first.

. Primus' voice filtered into my mind and gladly it didn't scare like it uses to. That would be stupid in the first place and slightly a suicidal move in the first place. He is probably armed with Red Beryl and one shot close to my heart, that would be the end of your precious pawn. . This time it was Unicron who decided to make an appearance.

Rolling my eyes with a hiss leaving my mouth, I stay back and keep my lips shut, not obeying what my masters say. And just like clockwork, the battle begins.

Jasper soldiers shot their AK's and AR's at all of us while the Cons go against the Bots as they are their size. I go after the smaller prey first and the pawns of this chess board first, they could become handy later if not dealt with first.

My claws rip and tear through the flash of humans, spilling their blood on the snow below us. I control the ice to create walls so the humans on my team have protection against the sharpshooters of Jasper and used said ice to pierce the hearts of the humans, quickly killing them. This happened multiple times until someone caught my attention.

"AZAR! Honey, get over here~," Rue, my mother, sung while using my real name. Rage took over my mind and the outside of my vision, red was beginning to slowly fill my vision. I hated my mother from the bottom of my heart and wanted nothing to kill her painfully slow and watch the light fade from her eyes. She earns that much for doing what she has done to me for years.

Snapping my gaze towards the noise, my eyes spot the cold, dead eyes of the never caring mother that she always is. A honeyed, sadistic smile is placed on her lips while she held a pistol that caused my danger sensors to buzz highly with energy; there's Red Beryl in that gun. But my mind didn't take that into consideration as I sprinted towards her and made it to her in less than five seconds.

My body stood ten feet away from her to be safe and glared with the rage boiling under my scales, ready to move and kill her once for all. Something made the smallest noise behind me; I wasn't quick enough to catch it as an electric prod connected with my back, in between my wings. The prod shocked me with at least five thousand volts and takes me down to the ground as he continues to hold me on the ground.

Finally getting enough of the damn shocking, I unsteadily stand up and rip the prod out of Cyrus's hands. He stands there for a moment in shock before throwing a hook at me with his fist, I caught it in my hand and use my superhuman strength to twist it with ease. I force him on his knees, bowing before the real queen, and snap the bones in his lower forearm.
