When the time was right, you successfully snuck out the back door. It had been a while since you stepped outside, 5 cyber-weeks to be exact. When your ped first touched the hard cement beneath you, your optics couldn't help but stare in shock. You've seen the world through windows, but now seeing it in person was a different experience. Everything was shabby, to say the least. Buildings were missing chunks, almost as if somebot took a bit out of them and left them to rot. Roads (or what was left of them) were missing pieces, lights had been taken down. Everything was destroyed, it was just another vast wasteland.
'My home. . .'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carefully, you walked alongside the walls of the alley, making sure to take in your surroundings with each pedstep you took. Never would you have thought that you would be scared walking in broad daylight. Your hands traced alongside the bumpy wall, feeling each and every crevice and dent it had to offer. Part of you wanted to turn around, go home, and cry on your berth because of everything that's happening. But you didn't. Instead, you vented deeply and continued on fourth, watching every step you took. You were brave.
It seemed to have been miles away, but in about 20 cycles you were at the energon supplier by your sector. Its sign had been ruined, half of it was dangling from the roof (It was called Ener-Go, because you stopped in and left). You cynically walked in, as the automatic doors tried their best to part ways for you. Most of the items had been ransacked, but there was Primus knows how a few containers left for the taking. Without second thought, you grabbed the containers and threw them into your sub-space storage compartment. Little did you know, this wasn't a miracle in the very least. This was a trap set up by the Decepticons so they could be alerted of when either an Autobot or neutral bot came into their territory. And now, they knew you existed.
With the containers in your storage, you exited the same way you came in. Walked in the same path you had not too long before. Felt the same dents and crevices you had felt earlier. Everything was going smoothly, until you heard something. Seekers.
Before you had time to even comprehend what was going on, you ducked down within the garbage disposal units of the ally. It wasn't too long before 2 seekers landed a few feet in front of you. You held your breath and swallowed your fear, trying not to bring ANY attention to yourself. By the looks of it, they were 2 mechs. 2 mechs you have never seen nor heard of, so they probably were of low ranking. One was a weird purple color you haven't really ever seen, and the other was just red and black.
"It says the bot IS right here, but no one's around," the one spoke (it was actually a femme!)
"Well maybe the trackers broken. Ya know who they got makin these, that guys crazy," the black-red one spoke, staring at the tracking device like that was gonna fix their situation.
'It was too good to be true, obviously it was a tracker of some sorts. How could you be so careless ____?' you mentally reprimanded yourself, thinking of how avoidable this situation could have been. If only you thought a little more about it.
"Still, how the frag do you mess up a tracker? I can hand a sparkling that device and even they'll know how to make it!" the femme argued back, servos on her hips. "And have you ever considered the fact that maybe they're, I don't know, HIDING from us!? I for one wouldn't want to be caught by the 'villains' either!"
"Suppose you could be right. Fine then, why don't we just follow this device BLINDLY into this pile of-" was the last thing black-red could've said. In the heat of the moment, you threw the energon container at him and made a run for it.
"Put your useless aft to work and stop her Nightgaze!" the black-red one yelled while whipping energon remains off his face. You ran as fast as you could, but Nightgaze was still faster. She managed to tackle you down.
"Got you now, you pest," she hissed into your audio receptors, sending chills down your spine. While she held you down, you tried to remember if you have ever heard or seen this femme before. But you hadn't,
"Well, well, well, look what we got here. A femme. How interesting. What are you, an Autobot? Neutral?" black-red spoke with a menacing tone (or tried too at least). "Flip her over, see if she has an Autobot insignia on her."
Just as he ordered, Nightgaze over here flipped you over, now your servos were under you being crushed by the weight of your midsection. You gave a glare to black-red, who in return showed only a mere smirk.
"Looks like you're a neutral one, aren't you?" he said staring at the emptiness on your upper chassis, where a sign would've been. "Well, I like to think I'm a gentlemech with femmes at the very least, so I'll give you a choice. Either you join the Decepticon cause, or I blow out your processor right here and now. So, what's it gonna be?" he glared back down at you, transforming his servo into some strange sort of gun. You gulped, thinking out all the possibilities that could happen or what you could do. There wasn't a lot, either you accept, or you die. Obviously, you didn't want to die.
"Fine, I. . .I accept," you mumbled lowly, holding back the disgust in your voice.
"What was that," the fragger said with a smug look on his face. He heard you loud and clear, he just wanted to hear you say it again.
"I said I'll join your cause!" you yelled out in frustration (and fear) as you felt some sort of tears form in your optics.
"Good, that's what I like to here. Nightgaze, get off her. She's coming with us." Nightgaze let out a huff and moved aside, he then grabbed your left servo right below your hand unit and forced you up from the ground. Where he grabbed was exactly where your circuit is located. Oh no.
You tugged and pulled and tried to get him to move his grip, but instead he only grabbed harder. "What, you don't like having someone hold you?" he chuckled out loud, making sure to squeeze as hard as he could. That was the last thing you heard before the world around you faded out.
