In Between S2-> S3(Megatron X OC X Optimus)

Triangulation (1) Prolouge

ShiverTooth's Perspective

It was the next day, I recovered from the dark energon and was now in Dreadwing's room. I had my blade in one hand and my wrist covered in scars, new and old. I could no longer do anything though, yesterday, when I awoke, Knockout was buffing his finish. I said hi, he didn't answer. I rolled my optics and said to myself "All about that stupid finish of yours." He argued back saying it's good to keep a clean finish and that I should learn sometime. I growled back saying that I shower and get the water through me instead of buffing my armor because it's better. We got into an argument and Knockout ended it saying that it was my fault Breakdown died.

I went speechless and then clawed him across the finish, so hard I knocked him down. He tried to get up but my rage took control and pressed him to the ground again. I then yanked him up and shoved him to the wall. I got ready to rip his voice box out when something went through my mind. Ratchet told me that Megatron ripped out BumbleBee's voice box and that it insanely difficult to get to understand him again. The horror that Ratchet described was even worse.

Warning: mention of gore

Bee's throat was torn open and bursting energon. His own voice box laid crushed in front of his limp frame. It was horrifying.

I lowered my claw as Knockout was on the verge of tears. I left him and started walking out. I heard him eject a saw and then throw it at me. I turned to block it but it cut my wrist, deep. "You monster...." was all he said. "No wonder Breakdown died, he was frightened that he would live through that." I yell at him again "BREAKDOWN GAVE A SLAG UNLIKE YOU!!!!" "I PERSONALLY HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO!!!" Knockout yelled back. We started arguing once more and I yelled saying that I hated ever being his friend, he argued saying that He wished I was never alive." It went back and forth until Dreadwing came in and separated us when we had started claw fighting each other.

He took me to his office and then went to Knockout's office where he took him to see Megatron. He wasn't back yet. I looked at my wrist, seeing the now bright blue metal. I wiped the blood away but it was still blue. I tucked my wrists back into my armor and set my blade in my sub space.

Dreadwing then walked in "Knockout's rebuffing his finish for the mission, are you ready?" I look away from him, pulling my feet up onto the table with me. He replies "Shivers, my dear. Is something wrong?" I ask "Was it actually my fault?" He was confused "What on?" I reply "Should I have just pushed Breakdown away and gone to fight her myself?" His optics widen "W-why would you say that?" He crossed his arms under my legs and I continued "Breakdown is dead because of me, isn't he?"
