The Next Day
Shadow's POV
I was back at school since the principal made me promise not to fight again, I was actually pretty excited to spend the day with Sides and Sunny since Mom and Dad had to patrol along with the others. I ignored all the kids by staying for away from them and talking with Ratchet instead of paying attention in class or to what the kid was talking about when they talked to me.
Have you ever had that feeling in your tummy that is telling you something bad is gonna happen? Well, you guessed it, I'm having that feeling...
'Don't worry my dear sparkling nothing will happen I promise' Ratchet says with a promising tone.
Then Collin walks up to me, 'Don't listen to Collin, he just wants to start something, be the bigger femme and walk away' Ratchet says, I giggle mentally, 'Are you calling Collin a girl Ratch?' I hum, Ratchet sends me a wave of agreement, Collin kicks the ball away that I was playing with, "Hey dork!" He sneers grabbing my arm, 'Did he just call you a whales-?!' Ratchet growls but cuts himself off, I squirm away from Collin, "I owe you a nice huge punch in your nose," he sneers, his face supporting bruises and scratches from where I hit him, Ratchet scoffs with a grumble then Collin balls up his fist, I shrink down trying not to get hit but then he screams and runs off, I hear heavy footsteps behind me, 'Oh. My. Primus.' Ratchet breathes when I turn seeing a tall red mech that looks like Bee.
'I thought he was dead!' I yelp since Bee bragged to me about killing his cheap knock off.
My breathing gets heavier, "Lights out little meat sack!" He sneers before I'm knocked out....
Sideswipe's POV
Sunny and I are chilling at home watching TV, Sunny changes the channel to the news, we both freeze seeing Shadow's school....in...........
Pieces...
"In other news today at a local elementary school six year old, Shadow Marie Hide has been reported missing by authorities, a young boy named Collin Clicks tells police that he saw her getting snatched by a Transformer with red armor that looked like the Autobot Bumblebee," the lady says.
Mine and Sunny's spark stop seeing Shadow's picture showing up on the screen, "If anyone has seen this child please contact police," Sunny pauses the TV, Sunny didn't know what to do, he was stuck between leaking his coolant and raging.
Then Ironhide and the others come through the door talking up a storm and laughing, Sunny was glued to her school picture, "SunStreaker? What is a wrong buddy?" Hound asks my frozen twin, but Sunny doesn't speak, the TV is on pause he is taking in the news slowly, then we all hear the remote getting crushed in SunStreaker's servo, "Hey-!" Hide says but stops and looks at the TV, "MISSING" was in bold letters above Shadow picture...
Ironhide is the first to flip...
He starts by letting out an enraged roar, his optics turn a dark red like Sunny's does when he goes into a blind rage then Ironhide fizzles out of existence then Sunny follows, then the rest of us, they both are in their Autobot modes loading every bit of ammo and weapons we've got on their armor, they both were pissed.
Sunny had closed our bond since this rage would possibly be hard to calm me and Sunny down when his rage had affected both of us, "Ironhide, I need you and SunStreaker to calm down-" Arcee says but Ironhide snaps at her:
"Some fucking snot-nosed punk-ass Decepticon has my sparkling and you want me to calm down?!?!?"
"You're out of your processors!" SunStreaker growls at her.
"You two won't go alone," Crosshairs speaks up walking up in his bi-pedal mode, "No, we'll be with you," Bumblebee says walking up, "I should offline you!" SunStreaker growls lunging at Bee but I and Hound grab SunStreaker, "We need all we can get!" Hound growls, "Stinger is still online because of him!" SunStreaker roars, "Stinger is dead-!" Dragonfly argues, "I don't give a rats ass in hell who's dead and who's alive! Some fragger has my sparkling and you all want to fucking argue?!" Chromia snaps, Ironhide's rage was affecting her, "How do we know where the Cons are?" DragonFly growls.
"I don't give a fuck where they are! I WANT MY SPARKLING!" Ironhide roars.
"Fine, we'll all split up and then maybe we'll find her," Hound suggests, "Guys!" Jazz calls running up in his Autobot mode, "We've got Cons, 40 miles away from here!" Jazz snaps, "Let's go get Shadow!" Ironhide growls, we all Transform and drive off.
Shadow's POV
I screamed when Stinger, once again shocks me with an electric prod, he's in his human form, which has red hair and green eyes, a redshirt, and pants, Ratchet once again takes my pain, "Speak!" Stinger orders, "Where is the Autobots base!" Then I am shocked again, drool comes out of my mouth, he's been torturing me for god knows how long. If it wasn't for Ratchet, I would be dead.
I keep my lips sealed then I scream when he shocks me again, "I'm giving you ten minutes to think about what you did," he scolds me like he is my father, Ratchet grunts when the door is slammed, my clothes are burned along with my skin, 'Don't worry Ironhide is going to gut every Con who is responsible for hurting you, trust me,' Ratchet grunts, 'Ratchet,' I whisper, 'I'm scared, I want Ironhide and Mom!' I start crying, Ratchet sends me soothing emotions, 'Hey don't worry, you'll be alright, I'm pretty sure Ironhide and SunStreaker along with the others are pretty fragging mad,' he soothes, 'I know what would make you feel better! How about we look at my funny memories!' 'O-okay,' I whimper then something happens.
Ratchet's Memory
It was another day in the Med-Bay at NEST, something didn't feel right, by now the Terror Twins would be in here laughing at the bright pink paint I would have to cover my armor, but nothing, piece, and quiet atlas-
Then my door opens, I see Ironhide standing there, his armor is scratched and dented, he is wearing a mad expression, "What happened?" I groan, "I won't tell!" He grunts walking over to a medical berth and takes a seat then Chromia walks in after him, she also has dents and scratches all over her armor, "Let me guess battle?" I ask Chromia making her look at me, "Pit no!" She says I and Ironhide look at her curiously, "I fell on my aft and played slip and slide down the hall, scratching my paint while I slid!" She snaps, I and Ironhide look at one another then start to snicker.
"Shut up! Ironhide did the same!" Chromia growls slapping Ironhide's chassis. "I did not!" He growls at her, "You pushed me then I dragged you down! Then I got knocked out!" Chromia argues.
"Please stop fighting! Primus you're worse than the Chevy twins!" I growl they both stop and look at me then they both are lecturing me about how they are not worse than the Chevy Twins.
End Of Memory
At the end of Ratchet's memory, I am giggling, it was pretty funny, Momma never tripped and fell neither did dad, she and dad were always balanced, 'See I told you that would cheer you up!' Ratchet says his relief is coming in waves. I smile, 'I guess you could say that,' I say then I instantly get scared when Stinger comes back in, he's got a weird glass container, "Come on meat sack!" He snaps then he uses his big fingers to untie the restraints somehow, he grabs me up none too gently and throws me in the cold container, it's cold glass making the burns feel much better.
He then carries me out of the room while I'm locked inside the container, "Too bad Galvatron has other plans for you sparkling!" Smelly (Stinger) sneers.
Sideswipe's POV
Ironhide drove like a bat out of hell towards the location where the Decepticons were at. Mine and Sunny's bond was full of worry and anger, I keep telling him everything was going to be alright.
:: Don't worry Sunny, Shadow will be alright::. I say sending my twin soothing emotions, all he did was think about when he first met her and how determined she was to find Ironhide.
Soon we make it to the location, it is an old abandon building with metal surrounding it, it looked not so scary, but to a little girl like Shadow it's pretty scary looking. "We've got guards," Ironhide grunts, I see four mechs standing in front of the doorway, guns in their servos ready to attack, I look at Ironhide, "I and SunStreaker will distract the guards and other mechs outside, you all get in that building and get Shadow!" I say, "Nice plan-!" Hound says, "It's not a plan, it's an order!" I growl, he 'O's, "SunStreaker?" I ask looking at my twin, "You ready?" I ask, he brings out his blades, "Come on," he growls then we both run up and attack then distract.
Ironhide's POV
As soon as the guards were distracted I and the others run inside the building. Mine and Chromia's bond was filled with anticipation and nervousness, we were anticipated to get our sparkling back and we were nervous because we didn't want to see something terrible-
I fall to the ground being tripped by something, then the others fall behind me, I stand and saw what I tripped on a dead Decepticon body, its face looked like it was stabbed multiple times then the weapon was turned to the side, bringing a slow and painful death.
"Ouch, whoever did this is one sick glitch," Hound says looking at a mech, who's spark was ripped out and scattered on the floor, "Who cares who did it! We have one mission," I snap, "Now let's complete it and get out of here," Chromia says, as we walked down the hall bodies were littered everywhere, they all died deaths different or the same on some.
"Primus, what is this for?" Dragonfly asks walking up to a device, I let my optics follow the wires on the wall only to see a broken glass container, I walk over to the container seeing a small black sweatshirt, Chromia by my side, "Oh my Primus, that's Shadow's," she gasps taking the sweatshirt, I look around. The lab was destroyed, four dead frames lied on the floor, devices were messed up and appear to be shot at. Only one thought was on my processors:
Where are you kid?
