Dragonfly POV

I ran as fast as I could away from Kaon, the 'Con capital.

Some weirdos called Knockout and Breakdown were after me because I had info on the 'Bots.

When I was about 3klicks away from Kaon I thought I had lost them. Of course, I was very wrong. About two seconds after I stopped running for dear life, there they were.

The shiny red one got out his rotating blade and said, ever so arrogantly,"Prepare for surgery."

After seeing my buddy Cliffjumper behind him, I put my hands up and smirked. Cliff kicked Knockout and blasted Breakdown.

"I owe you one Cliff," I said after things calmed down and we jogged away.

"You know, this reminds me of the time-" he started.

"Oh no! I can't take another story!" I cut him off.

"Fine, fine. Whatever you say Dragon."

When we got to safety we made a plan. It wasn't much but it was something. We would round up all the 'Bots we could and we would all get off Cybertron ASAP.

"Ok, I know that location of one single 'Bot. It's not much but it's someone," I stated.

"Good, you get that one and I'll go get one of my buddies over that ridge," he replied gesturing to a ridge SouthEast of us.

We split up after deciding to meet here after we got our friends.

My friend was a former Wrecker, SeaSpray. He was amazing when it came to beating 'Cons. Even though he liked to blow things up, he was a good friend.

I ran to an old Autobot shelter where he stayed and stored weapons. When I arrived I slid through the nonfunctional doors and called, "SeaSpray?" Then something hit me and it all went black.

When I woke up I struggled to move but my hands were tied above my head and my ankles were bound- all with spiderweb.

"Scrap," I muttered.

Arachnid was in and out of being in a team. She did things for Megatron, but she also did things that he would never know of.

"Come on, Dragonfly. What's the matter? Scared to get into a fight?" she called out from the shadows.

"Wow, yea. You guessed it! 'Cause I can SO fight when I'm tied up like this," I retorted, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

She stepped out of the shadows and said,"Your friend, SeaSpray, fled. Or maybe someone scared him away..."

I forced a smirk and her face went sour.

"Why are you happy?"

I didn't say a word, knowing that if I did, I would most likely scream in fear, but I had to seem strong.

She growled and walked out of the room. Now for my great escape.

The place was old and broken down so many of the panels from the room's wall were missing. I made blades on my wrists and easily cut the web and soon I was free. I crawled out of the room and scanned my surroundings.

All I knew is that I was outside so I took off in one direction.

After a while I became somewhat familiar with my surroundings and found my way back to the meeting place.

Cliff was waiting all alone.

How long was I out?

"Sorry I ran into a spider problem. How long was I gone?" I asked.

"A full solar cycle! What kind of spider takes that long to deal with?" he replied.

"Um, a 'Con who can apparently knock someone out for almost a solar cycle," I said, a bit ticked off. With that sorted out we headed towards the emergency 'Bot escape pods.

On the way he told me about the time he did this and that time he did that and blah, blah, blah. In the middle of a story some 'Con goons came around and spotted us.

Guns pointed in both directions and Cliff told me to go and get the pods ready.

I ran to the place and set coordinates for Earth, the place Prime wanted us to meet.

Then, I waited... and waited.... and waited.

Finally I snuck out and went to where Cliff had been fighting the 'Cons and saw two sets of footprints and in the middle signs that a bot was being dragged.

I covered my mouth with my left servo and my right over that. "No... Cliff, why?" I sunk to the ground on my knees and a drop of Energon ran down my cheek.

"Well, well, well," I heard a voice say from behind me.

I spun around to see Knockout. "What do you want now?" I asked.

"Well, I know you have information on the Autobots and Megatron would love a piece of it... or all of it."

I charged at him and he swiftly dogged it sending me to the ground. "You didn't let me finish," He grinned. He held out a hand and said,"But I'll let you go. We most likely already have the information that you do and Megatron thinks that Breakdown and I scrapped you earlier."

I looked at him in unbelief but took his hand anyway, ready to drop him.

He helped me up and I noticed that he was perfectly shiny and buffed.

"How are you so darn shiny? Cliff drove you into the ground today," I asked.

"Yes," he replied with a disgusted face. "I didn't appreciate that. I keep myself buffed, even during a war."

"Why?" I asked after a few seconds of silence.

"Well, because I like to look my best, of course," He replied.

"No, no, I meant, why let me go. You might encounter me later and get in trouble from Magatron or StarScream,"I corrected.

"Oh." he said rather embarrassed. "I guess you don't seem, um..." he stopped.

I knew it. No reason.

"Well, if you don't mind I'll just be going then," I said as I walked away.

Three, two, one. "Wait! where are you going?"

I smirked and turned around to face him.

"I'm going to find Cliffjumper. But it's not like you care..." I started.

"Oh, yea, well I don't care... so... bye," He said then walked away.

I turned around in a circle searching the sky for Megatron's warship until I pinpointed it... right where Knockout was headed.

Oh my Primus! Why me?

I started off after Knockout and called,"Hey, 'Con!"
