The Unity Of Two

25: Then There Was Another

Well, that hurt. I sat up, ignoring the dents on my already mangled back struts.

"What happened?" Breakdown asked.

"He stabbed me!" Starscream screamed.

"Me? A mechling? Stab a highly competent warrior?" I argued, trying to pass of his lies.

"Just maybe." Unicron said and Starscream and Megatron's helms snapped over to me.

"Why would you do that!?!" Primus shrieked.

"Shut up." I muttered to them.

"What was that?" Starscream asked.

"What was what?" Knockout asked.

I transformed and made a dash for the door, only for Meg to step on me. "Don't bother." He sneered and put more weight on my back. So I formed spikes on my back that stabbed through his ped and broke free, making a dart through the hallways.

Then I crashed into someone else, I really need to watch were I'm going. "Ouch." The mech mumbled who was whitish, silver with some blue, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?!?" He shrieked as he spotted me.

I Transformed, "Run." I stated, noticing his Autobot insignia.

"What's happening?" Primus asked.

"I have no fucking clue." I mumbled as we ran down the hallways.

"Who are you?" The mech asked.

"Augury."

"Cool, I'm Smokescreen."

"Cool, how'd you get here?"

"Pod crashed and got captured, then escaped." He listed as we ducked around a bend, away from Vehicons and hid in an empty room. "You?"

"Pod crashed, stayed put, got caught by the Autobots, stuck in a cave collapse and dug out by Cons." I stated.

"You look like a youngling?"

"Mechling." I corrected.

"There's other Autobots here?" He asked, "And why are you running?"

"Yup. And I stabbed Starscream and Megatron." I said and leaned against a wall as he barricaded the door.

"How?"

"With stabbing materials." I mumbled.

"No shit." Unicron muttered

"And who are the Autobots?"

"Well, there's demanding piece of shit 1 & 2, and Wheeljack, Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee." I listed.

"Don't be so rude." Primus suggested.

"But they are demanding pieces of shit." I argued.

"I'll take your word for it, now, how do we get out?" He asked.

"Can you fit through the vents?" I asked, he shook his helm, "Fly?" He shook his helm. "Well, you're screwed."

"Ask him if he can kill?" Unicron suggested.

"Can you kill?"

"A whole warship?"

"At least half."

He started counting his digits as banging came from the doors. "Yea?" He was only holding ten digits.

"Cut a hole in the wall?" Primus suggested.

"The walls are way too thick." I told him and looked up at Smokescreen, "Well, nice knowing you, good luck." I said as I climbed into a vent.

"What am I supposed to do?"

"I'm sure you'll figure it out." I yammered at him.

"You're not very considerate." Primus stated.

"Stop telling me what I'm not." I complained as I crawled deeper. Until some plating collapsed from bellow me and I fell into a hallway. I was instantly grabbed by a vehicon, "Hi?"

He looked at me blankly as another mech came around the corner. A tentacle slithered out from his chassis and held me at arms length.

"H-hi." He had no face, it was creepy and I was scared. He nodded the Vehicon off and led me to who knows where.

"What happened?" Primus asked.

"Fell through the vents and got caught." I muttered.

"Well, you're not getting a beating and no one is talking, so it's not Meg or screamscream." Unicron said.

"And yet they could come around the corner any minute, so shut up." I hissed at him.

"Schizophrenic?" The faceless mech said.

"What's that?" I asked meekly.

"A mental condition, I think." Primus stated.

"No, don't think so." I said as the mech looked at me disbelievingly, even though he had a blank visor as facial features. "Where are you going?" I asked.

"Temporary containment." He stated in different voices.

"That's code for a cell." Unicron stated.

"And if a promise I wont stab anyone? Where would I go then?" I asked.

"Medical bay."

"Then I promise I won't stab anyone." I said, halfheartedly. We began to walk the other way, "What's your name?" I asked, warming up to the mech.

"Soundwave." He hissed static at me.

"Cool." I really need to get out of here. We walked for a while, myself tangled in his tentacles, until we reached the medbay. Starscream was the only patient.

"Thank Primus, he's fine." Breakdown let Knockout know as Soundwave released me.

"He'd be even better if he didn't stab anyone." Knockout grumbled and slapped Scream's shoulder, "You're done, out."

The grump grumbled grumpily before he left as Soundwave walked over to Knockout and seemed to hold a speechless conversation.

I wondered over to Breakdown, "Can I get some exercise?" I asked.

Unicron snorted.

"I think you already got some."

"I mean flying." I added, might be able to get away that way.

"No." Breakdown said, "Megatron wants you in a cell but we're just gonna ground you." He said.

"You're going to clip my wings?"

"Bit extreme." Breakdown muttered, "No, you're not allowed to leave the med bay for a while." He explained before picking me up and sitting me on a berth.

"You don't have to pick me up for everything." I complained as Knockout concluded his silent conversation and came over with a scanner.

"We know, but you're just so cute."

I began to sulk while they fixed my limited injuries but raised a ridge once they started scanning my helm. "What are you-"

"Soundwave thinks you might be Schizophrenic." He said, "So I'm checking, who is it you hear again?"

"My carrier and Sire."

"Cool." He nodded
