"Thank you for listening Optimus" I said a little relieved.

"Your welcome Silver" said Optimus gladly.

"See you down-" I choked in mid-sentence. I heard a heartbeat, my vision zoomed out and back in. I stumbled toward the edge, I misstepped with my left hind leg. The next thing I knew I was falling off the cliff, I saw Optimus rushing in too late. I slowly turned free falling to see my descend getting closer to the ground. I looked up to find that Optimus had his servo extended out toward me, I turned my body back towards him. 'He took his time', I heard another heartbeat again but this time it was louder, with that heartbeat pumping I could make out his spark chamber in my vision. 'His spark was under me the whole time, that's how I can hear it so loudly the second time!!'

I heard Optimus yelling out my name, I knew I had to be really close to the ground by now. So I just closed my optics for those brief moments, I hit the ground like a large boulder landing on your back. I coughed as blood came flying out, my eyes were forced open from the impact and as I opened them. I saw my blood not blue but purple, 'look who finally showed his ugly face'. As my body lay still on the floor I drifted unconscious, when all turned black I saw a spark. As bright blue as it can be, then I saw purple roots surrounding it and covering it whole. The branches blocked out any light coming from the spark, 'Looks like it's his move to make now, let's see who's ready'. While I lay on the floor, Optimus was rushing down the mountain climbing as fast as he could. He had finally reached the bottom, he touched ground and began running towards me. Optimus glanced towards the splattered dark energon, he picked me up and carried me in his arms rushing inside the base. Optimus told Ratchet of what he had happened,  Ratchet ordered Optimus to get me on the medical berth and patch me to life support quickly.

"We need to clear this area stat! Optimus try to stay calm, this isn't your fault. You tried your best to catch her." Ratchet reassured him and himself during the situation. Minutes passed, Ratchet found that there was a disturbance in my spark that made me choke and freeze. After Ratchet explained what might've happened, my optics opened. I was still unconscious from the fall, but not for him.

When I had opened my optics, they were different. They were purple slits, I got up off the berth and walked over towards everyone that were all huddled up together turning their attention to me. I opened my mouth but a voice of words of not my own spoke,

"This creature is growing weaker by the day, you best prepare yourselves for what is coming."

"Unicron" said Optimus a bit in shock. 

 "Yes, I am. I go by many names, but to your kind. You call me Unicron, the chaos bringer. Silver's time is limited, she will face her fate one way or another. But she will never escape this path of what she now descends into, the process can not be stopped" declared Unicron to my team in my body.

"She will have to face this fact eventually for that is true, but for one thing is for sure, she can slow it to the best of her abilities. That will be her choice to decide and push through." responded Optimus pushing closer to my corrupted form.

"As she grows weak, I will become stronger eventually consuming her life force and I will bear her as a host to bring chaos upon this wretched planet and more to come." Unicron hissed.

              As I was unconscious, I saw darkness and those same branches that were around that spark. They were now releasing their hold on it, retracting away waiting for the chance to be theirs again. That spark in the darkness, that was my own spark being held in the clutches of Unicron. Unicron's presence submerged inside my body, my optics reverted back to normal. My body felt again the pain surging through my back to be spreading across all my nerves, I felt that way too often now a days. I started to fall but was caught by my partner, Bumblebee, he gently carried me back to the berth and connected me back to life support entering my system once more. My mind slowly slipping into recharge, Bumblebee sat next to my slumbering form waiting till I awoke.
