    Motorshift felt weary, his eyes shifting every which was as he entered the run down and dilapidated building, one of Earth's many features. His artificial breathing hitching at every single sound the building produced, groaning in distress from the sudden movement of a living being. Motorshift could feel and hear the years of neglect of this building giving way as he wondered about searching for the one who called him here.

"Okay Motorshift." Motorshift reassured himself, muttering as he went along. "If I was a big red frag, where would I be?" He asked no one but himself even if he hoped someone would have answered.

As if the building was responding a loud groan echoed around Motorshift causing him to suddenly pick up the pace as he frantically looked around for the one who summoned him. His eyes were near watering as he rounded another corner with no sight of the maroon mecha anywhere. If he hadn't known better he'd think the flight commander was late which was uncommon and unheard of with the Commanding Flight Officer. Motorshift rounded another corner letting his thoughts take over as he began to explore the dilapidated building, finding the longer he was inside the more scared he'd be trapped inside was dawning on him. With a shaky breathe he rounded a corner into a dead end.

"What? I've searched the whole building, where?!." He stumbled over his words grasping his chest. "Where is he?" Motorshift whined out, turning around and muttering to himself as he began to round the corner he came from.

"He told me to meet him right here, why isn't he- !!" Startled Motorshift looked up stunned to find the exact mecha he had been searching for.

Fearing for his life he began to back up down the dead end. The Commanding Flight Officer was not known for his mercy but for his strength in battle, and Motorshift had just slammed into him full force whether he meant to or not he had felt the ever looming presence of Lunarsweep. With a shaky breath his optics shot wide when he saw the much larger maroon mecha round the corner. Effectively trapping him inside, the one thing that had been running on repeat in his mind had happened. He grasped at the wall the moment his back bumped into it, fear coursing through his energon pumps.

"Sir?! Sir Lunarsweep I didn't see you there !" Motorshifts voice came out jumpy and stuttery as he shifted into the corner furthest from Lunarsweep.

Silence was his only response causing Motorshift to uncomfortably shift further into his corner. Awaiting his demise with not an ounce of dignity Motorshift gulped. The moment Lunarsweep stood in front of Motorshift, did he attempt to speak once again.

"Sir Commander, I come with an, an offer." Motorshift stumbled over his words, his vents exhaling harshly out of desperation. Lunarsweep unmoving form stared down Motorshift with no intent of speaking back. Unmoving and unresponsive, fearing the Commanding Flying Officer was invading his mind, Motorshift spoke up again with a twinge of fear leaking into his voice.

"I want to form a partner, well a uh partnership of sorts." Motorshift took a deep inhale as he prepared himself to speak again. "I want to work as your-"

Just as he had begun talking, a booming voice belonging to none other than Lunarsweep himself spoke over him. Loud and looming the voice was, demanding respect and holding authority.

"Speak your mind no more of these Lies." It was simple and sour, leaving a horrible aftertaste on Motorshifts glossa.

Motorshift shuddered, shifting further down the wall in his desperation to stay alive through this encounter. That tone imposed pure fear into Motorshift like nothing he had ever experienced before. It was like being struck in the back with a knife, how deep and controlling it had sounded. Realising he had let his mind wander again Motorshift cleared his throat and looked down muttering out his attempt at an unfabricated propclimation. Before he could say much his face was roughly ceased and harshly gripped.

"Speak up before I make you." It was once again simple yet this time it oozed authority, a command to listen or he'd face the consequences.

With a deep vent exhale Motorshift nodded as best he could, his lower lip quivering as he looked up in fear watching the eyes behind Lunarsweeps visor glare, he had never seen such power on another mecha since Megatron. Motorshift shivered as his face was squeezed, egging him on for a response.

"I want to be your spy on the autobot group, in return I'll do anything you want!" Motorshift stumbles out. Barely able to spew the words from his squished face as he desperately clung to the wall.

Feeling the one thing holding him steady suddenly leaving his grasp had Motorshift gasping out in a panic state, his vents exhaling loudly as he choked on his words. Luarsweep had stood up and had fully grasped Motorshifts face, holding on viciously. A small tsk from Lunarsweep could be heard as Motorshitft swung his feet and grasped at Lunarsweep's arms. Small begging please escaping Motorshift as he dangles in the air, fearing his final moments had finally come.

Lunarsweep bends back down squeezing Motorshifts face once more before speaking up again."Fine so be it, I want Vicedrive the Autobot medic." Plain and simple, except it wasn't.

Motorshift came here for one thing and it was to achieve a partnership with Lunarsweep, and he had gotten it. Although at what price the one person who he could never bring harm, or bare to see harmed going to another. No, no that just wouldn't do. Motorshift exhaled as Lunarsweep released his face. Falling back into the wall Motorshift nodded, agreeing to the terms physically before speaking up again, at least attempting to.

"And you'd be wise to remember your mind,...Is mine." Lunarsweep grips Motorshifts face the hardest he has since the whole grabbing face became. Watching the false felt safety drain from Motorshifts face before letting go, turning away and leaving beyond the corner. Motorshift sinks to the floor grasping his chest as he sputles to take a breather letting his vents exhale loudly as he clings to himself.

"Okay Motorshift okay." Motorshift whispers to himself as he stands heading for the corner taking a peek, noting no sign of Lunarsweep in sight.

Motorshift waits a beat before taking off the way he came abandoning the decrepit building quicker than he originally had arrived. Tears streaming down his face as he hiccups in fear.
