Extinction's Shadow

Returning 'Home'

Hiya everyone I'm here with the newest update for ES! I bet you have been waiting for this haven't ya? Alright, no more ranting, time to get to work!

Why did I want to be with these idiots again? Oh right, can't go back home and I can't go back...there. Plus these guys were friends of sorts to me, sometimes I wonder if this is normal for our kind or is there such thing as normal when you are a transforming alien from space?

Probably not.

I was perched on Opi's shoulder while the humans sat around their little fire to keep warm. I was sharpening my swords when I heard the others talking again.

Maybe acting like sparklings is a better word.

"Sensei" Drift spoke up. Looking up at the mostly blue mech I saw him gesturing to Bumblebee. "With all due respect, Bumblebee cannot fight. He is like a little child." Ugh, Drift, you are a nice honorable mech, but why the frag did you have to say that? From what my history files and records have told me 'Bee is probably one of the best scouts in the universe. That and he is one of the few surviving mechs from Primes original roup also said something.

"Well, this child is about to kick your ass!" I sighed as Bumblebee used is radio to talk again and a scuffle broke out again. I looked down at my swords and began to clean them again, not even bothering to look up as my partner spoke again. Instead I merely leaned against Opi's neck cables.

"What do you see in his puppy-dog eyes." Drift's voice was much lower than it was before. I wonder why that is?

The female human spoke but I paid her or her companions no mind. She was bratty and her boyfriend was a spazzy wuss. Only the older male-the females father I believe- gained my respect when Prime told us his story and how he met these humans. Not only did he knowingly fix a Transformer though he could have easily sold him out to officals to get rich while Prime was in stasis, but also the fact he refused to give Prime away even when they threatened to take his life from him.

"Great! Now they're destroying each other! I voting myself as leader! Me reporting to me!" Someone please shut him up.

"Well I can see you were missed." The older male, Cade I think, spoke. Most likely his words were pointed to Prime.

I soon zoned out again as I cleaned and sharpened my swords and began to clean my blasters. I was finishing the last one when Opi bumped a finger against me, I looked up at him he looked at me with sad optics and then he pointed to a holoscreen. Guess they hacked into the drones memory files. I froze when I saw a familiar chubby red mech being shot at by Cemetary Wind. I finally learned his name.

Leadfoot.

I saw the blurr that was myself appear on the 'screen'. The others looked at me shocked, but I had already lost myself in a memory file.

*Flashback* 

I was in my speed mode racing through Montana on the highway, I was not worried that someone was going to see me. At this speed I looked nothing more than a smear of unusual colors. Meaning this is the closest I could get to being free of it all.

As I passed another car my comm link picked up a distress signal. I was going to ignore due to the fact that it could have been the Hunters having trouble with a bot or con, but as I looked at the coding I realized that whoever was sending it was not human or made by humans.

It was then my Autobot half took over once it showed a familiar pattern to it. My guess is that Que had known whoever the bot was that was being attacked and wanted to rescue them.
