CHAPTER 8

SilverWing POV

Dear Diary

It's been days since the Insecticon incident happened. I stayed with the Autobots only for a few days until I was fully recovered. I was there when Bulkhead woke up, but right after that, I left the base. I couldn't stay any longer, so I went back to travel with Wheeljack. That was a long time ago. We are now going back to base. We detected an immense energy surge. We were going to check it out.

***

We returned to the Autobot base to find it under attack by Decepticon forces. We saw an exact replica of Darkmouth back on Cybertron here on Earth and really close to where the Autobot base was located. We had just saved the human that helps the Autobot from getting shot down from his chopper by a bunch of Insecticons. I think his name was Agent Fowler.

":: Prime, reinforcements just arrived::" Agent Fowler told them.

":: Agent Fowler, your military cannot prevail against the...::" Optimus began, but Wheeljack cut him off short.

"You didn't think we were going to let team prime have all the fun, did you?" Wheeljack asked. I heard Bulkhead laugh.

":: It's Jackie, SilverWing::" Bulkhead said.

":: Wheeljack, SilverWing, but did you two...::" Ratchet began, but we could cut him off short.

"We picked up a straight energy source" I replied.

"I hope you don't mind the company?" Wheeljack asked.

":: No... It's just after everything... Well...::" Ratchet said, but couldn't finish this sentence. I chuckled.

"We are still in the same team, doc. Always will be" Wheeljack replied.

We then hung up and continued shooting down as many Decepticons as possible. We knew we were not going to be able to defeat them all, but at least we could buy the rest of the team some time to escape. I wish we could do more, but we both knew this was all we could do to help for right now. I then saw that we were being chased by a specific con. I growled.

'Starscream' I thought. I then saw him shoot two guide missiles at us. I felt my optics wide in realization.

"Wheeljack" I said.

"I know" He said.

He then flew as fast as he could to lose the missiles, but they still managed to hit us. We went crashing straight to the solid ground. I gasped, feeling the pain from the crash finally hit my body. I then felt something in my spark. It was a message through a bond that has not been used in so many years. I will usually ignore it, but for some kind of reason, I didn't.

":: SilverWing, I'm sorry. I love you, Sweetspark. Please, never forget that::" I felt my optics wide when I heard that message before feeling this horrible pain in my spark because I still had the bond open. I also heard a loud explosion outside, but I ignored it. I felt like a piece of me just got taken away by force, before feeling something fresh began to run down my face. I knew what they were. They were tears. I ended up sobbing so loud that I knew everyone in 100 miles away could hear me.

"Sire" I cried.

"I-I'm... I'm sorry, Sire" I said, falling into a deep recharge from crying so much.

***

When I woke up, I was hanging from a ceiling with chains on the Decepticon new base, or I think it was the Nemesis. I didn't really know and didn't really care. I was deactivated. I just lost the last family that I had. I felt horrible with myself because he died thinking that I hated him when, in reality, I only wanted him to knowledge me as a warrior. I still had the bond open, hoping that he was alive and could send me any kind of affection through it, telling me that he was okay.

"Wakey, Wakey, Autobot" I heard Starscream's voice called. I didn't look up when he called. I really didn't care why he was here.

"What do you want, Starscream?" I asked, still looking down. I heard him chuckled.

"Lord Megatron wishes to see you. Don't hope for anything nice" He said before two Vehicons behind him took a pair of cuffs and put them on me right after they took me off the chains on the ceiling. I immediately got pushed out of the room and all the way to the top of darkmount.

Once there, I looked up to meet Megatron's ugly grin. I rolled my optics. Before being pushed to my knees in front of him.

"Hello, SilverWing" He said. I didn't reply back. I only stared at him with hatred, knowing well enough that he was the reason why "he" was dead. I saw him chuckled.

"No need to look at me with that face, SweetSpark. I know what I did, but I don't regret it" He said. I growled. I then quickly stood up and attacked him, but before I could even have the chance to touch him, I felt a horrible pain surrender my small body. I let out a cry of pain, falling back to my knees. I then felt the shock stop. I relaxed, but only for a short period of time because I felt myself getting picked up by the neck.

"Oh, SilverWing. I would not do that if I was you. We put a necklace around your neck that will electrocute you every time you tried to attack any of us" He said. I growled before spitting on his face. He growled at me before throwing me at the ground. I slide across the floor, stopping on the edge of the top floor.

I slowly sat up, feeling my whole body in pain. I then saw Megatron walk towards me. I tried to back away, but remember that I was at the edge so I couldn't.

"What do you want?" I asked. He chuckled before kneeling in front of me.

"You know, SilverWing. I have always wanted a pet" He said.

"What?" I asked. I then saw him place a chain on the necklace that I had on my neck. I felt my optics wide in realization.

"No!" I yelled. I tried pulling on the chain, but it was impossible because the chain was made of solid metal. I then felt my body get shocked again. I cried in pain for a short period of time before the electricity stopped. I fell to the ground in pain again.

"If you don't wish to get shocked again, then you better listen or else" He said. I shakily nodded.

"Follow me" He said. I was about to stand up, but he stopped me.

"Crawling" He said. I looked at him with shock, but not wanting to get shocked again, I listened. I began crawling behind him. It was so humiliating that it brought tears to my optics.

He sat down on the throne while I sat on the ground next to him like the good little pet that I had become. He will even pat me on the helm from time to time. I don't know how long I was there, but it must have been long. Just then, I noticed that Megatron received a call, but I didn't know from who.

"Send in the troops" Megatron ordered, standing up from the throne.

"And Soundwave, I want a live view" Megatron added. He then turned around to look at me.

"Stay here. I will come back, pet" He said. He then tied the chain to the throne before transforming and leaving. I immediately tried to break the chain, but no matter how much I tried, I couldn't. I laid my helm on my servos, feeling new fresh tears forming in my optics.

"Sire, I miss you" I said.

***

I had fallen asleep from crying so much, and when I woke up, I saw most of the high rank Decepticons. I saw Starscream, Knockout, Soundwave, and...

"Shockwave?" I whispered. I was kind of shocked to see him. I thought he was dead but looks like he was not. I quickly listened closely to their conversation and figured out by myself that they were talking about Wheeljack.

'He's alive. Oh, my Primus, thank you' I thought. I was scared that Wheeljack died, but it sounds like he didn't.

"The cortical psychic patch failed to yield any new information on the whereabouts of the Autobots" Shockwave said.

'A what? What's going? Is Wheeljack alright?' I thought.

"I see" Megatron replied.

"Then it would seem that Wheeljack has outlived his usefulness" Starscream said. He then turned to look at Megatron.

"With your permission, Lord Megatron. I will see to his immediate termination" Starscream said. I felt my optics immediately wide.

"No! You can!" I yelled. I then felt a really sharp pain on my cheek. I had just been slapped by Megatrom himself.

"You will speak only when you're told to speak, pet" He said. I shakily nodded. I felt a small liquid run down my cheek. I knew it was Energon. The slap was really painful after all, so I'm not surprised.

***

I was so happy. I just found out that Wheeljack survived. He somehow managed to escape at the last minute. I was so happy that he was okay.

"This is how you handle things?!" Megatron asked Starscream.

"Wheeljack is not the first prisoner to escape Starscream's care" Shockwave said.

"Actually, Master. I allowed Wheeljack to escape" Starscream said.

"You what?!" Megatron asked. I could tell he was mad. I smirked.

"But the Autobot's moves. His every word will be monitored" Starscream added. We all looked at Starscream, waiting for him to continue. We all didn't know what he was talking about.

"Thanks to a simple tracking device, implanted while the prisoner was still unconscious after the failed cortical psychic patch was done" Starscream said, holding a tracking device. I felt my optics wide.

'No' I thought.

"Now, all we have to do is wait, watch, and listen. When the Wrecker reunites with the other Autobots, my armada will strike" Starscream said. I then saw Megatron's angry look turned to a happy, evil one.

***

'Hey, guess what?'

Starscream's plan failed. I'm so happy that Wheeljack's smart enough to know they put a tracking device on him. I know this because I heard it from a couple of Vehicons. I then noticed that everyone was here, except for Shockwave, of course. They were all waiting for something, but I didn't know what that was.

Just then, I saw a Groundbridge open in front of us all. We all stare at the Groundbridge, waiting for the person on the other side to cross. I saw that Shockwave was the one to cross, but the Groundbridge was still open.

"I would like to present to you, Lord Megatron. The ultimate Autobot hunter" Shockwave said.

Just then, an enormous thing that everyone thought was extinct crossed the Groundbridge. I saw everyone take a step back with wide optics. They were all afraid of the large beast in front of us. I saw Megatron slowly rise from his throne. The large beast then spread its wings out, letting out a loud roar.
