~(Y/N)'s POV~

         "We told you to retreat!"

         "Why don't you listen?"

         "You could have been offlined!"

I heard them, but I wasn't listening. I was to busy sitting on the edge of the Autobot medical berth, my dull red optics focused on the floor, though that's not what I saw. I saw the hole in the ground that my friend escaped through. My traitorous, torturous, tyrannical, murderous, sadistic, cruel sister figure, who murdered the Decepticon power house, Knockout's best friend, my brother figure. What else did I see? Red, Knockout's lying optics. Blue, Arachnid's energon staining the ground. But I want her to suffer, I don't want her to stay dead, I want her to live with no purpose in life anymore, but to act as the loyal dog she pretended to be, so I see purple as well, the sickening glowing purple of dark energon that would bring her back, and become Megatron's little pet once again, held back by bars until needed. I saw my next mission. I saw the entire battle play through my helm over, and over, again.

         "What do you mean there's been a change in plans?" I asked accusingly, my optics following Ratchet like a hawk as he deactivated the groundbridge, he claimed to be unworried, but his fast pace and frantic typing said otherwise.

         "Look, Knockout's not there, so we found no reason for you to go."

         "I could at least help." I argued, watching closely as Ratchet erased the coordinates, but he was to late.

         "You're not going, that is final." he stated, and I thought otherwise.

I waited for him to walk away from the console, and took my chance as I quickly typed in the coordinates I saw, and activated the groundbridge. The last I heard was a firm holler from the old medic as I jumped my way through, finding a war raging in front of me. Who was winning? I don't know, but I helped both sides as I started destroying the beetle like creatures that surrounded them.

         "WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?!" I hollered as I found Megatron. He was already scratched and dented, but still going strong. He was surprised to see me as another creature was taken down by his own fist.

         "They're called Insecticons," His voice boomed, yet it was still hard to hear over all the screeching.

         "Where the frag did they come from?!"

         "Deep within a cave! They're-"

He was cut off by another feral screech. I looked up, barely being missed as an Insecticon barreled down and hit the ground floor. I shot it with my barely used canon, turning it's armor into melted metal, I was glad Knockout did such a good job on my weaponry. Taking another look around, I saw Arachnid. She's alive! Thank Primus! Taking a leap over several other Insecticons, I transformed and raced over to the cliff face she was climbing, a smile on my faceplate as I quickly transformed back and called after her.

         "ARACHNID! ARACH-SCRAP!"

I was shoved over by Arcee as she sped by in her bike form, after Arachnid no doubt, so I decided to have a little fun.

         "Heya two-wheeler!" I taunted as she came to an abrupt stop by a rocky ledge, she looked over, astonished that I had bypassed Ratchet, "Look up."

She did, only to be blinded by Arachnid as her webs came flying.

         "You make it to easy dear Wildstryke." She pinned Arcee to the cliff with a single spidery leg, her attention to me, "It's almost unfair that you remain neutral."
