Knockout x Cyclone

Chapter 2: The war begins (Cyclone's pov)

It was Monday morning and I was on my way to school. I had left the house with a horrid image. My brother was dead in his room. My father was gone, and I was alone. I had no idea what's going on. As I reached the corner of a street, I heard gun shots and swords clashing. I looked to see my father and Megatron fighting. My optics widened and I hid behind the wall. I turned my audio receptors up so I could hear what they were talking about.

"You will pay for what you've done to my son!" My father said.

"You knew very well that he would be the first target" Megatron spat.

I felt like my spark had actually broken in half. My brother was dead because of Megatron!? H-how could he? Why would he? I'm so confused about this. I leaned against the wall with lubricant tears coming to my optics. I clenched my teeth together and looked around the corner to see my father on the ground. Megatron was about to blast him with his blaster. My optics widened and then I squinted them and transformed my servo into my own blaster. I didn't know I could do that. I aimed at Megatron and shot at his blaster.

"AGH!" He yelled in pain.

My father looked over and saw me. He stood up and ran over to me. He grabbed my arm and we started running away. As we ran, the lubricant tears went down my cheeks.

"Why did this have to happen? How did this happen?" I asked.

"Megatron is wanting to take over Cybertron...us Autbots refuse to allow him and he took your brother's spark..." My dad said.

"I want Megatron to pay for what he's done..." I hissed.

We continued to run and we reached a secluded area. My father pushed open the door and me and him ran in. He closed the door and we walked to see many Autobots standing there. I looked around and noticed my friend Bumblebee there. I smiled and ran over to him. He smiled and hugged me once I got over to him.

"How are you doing?" He asked, pulling away.

"Megatron will pay..." I muttered.

"Yeah, he needs to go down...and he needs to go down now!" Ultra Magnus said.

Ultra Magnus was my father's first lieutenant. Magnus is very loyal to my father and me. Though, I didn't really like him. He REALLY likes me though. He knows I don't like him at all. I rolled my optics slightly when he looked over to me with a smile. Then, my friend came to mind.

"What about Darksky?" I asked my father.

"She will go down as well" he replied.

My optics widened and I felt my spark break again. Darksky was my best friend! I didn't want to lose her like I lost my brother! She's like a sister to me.

"I'm sorry 'princess'. That's how war works...we lose the ones closest to us" Ratchet said, knowing my reaction.

"Who'll kill her...?" I asked softly.

"You should do it" Bulkhead said.

"What!?" I asked, my optics widening.

"Take it slow there Bulkhead. Maybe she won't have to...someone else might end up doing it..." Arcee said, trying to comfort me.

I transformed my servo into a blaster and shushed everyone. They all became quiet and I held my blaster close. The next thing we knew, the door blew open will full force. I got hit with some rubble and I fell to the floor. Bee helped me up and we all looked to see the Decepticons. Darksky was right next to her father. Knockout was on the other side of him, a saw as his servo at the moment.

"Autobots, attack!" My father exclaimed.

"Decepticons! Attack!" Megatron yelled.

We all went at each other and me and Darksky ended up facing each other. As soon as she came at me, I dodged her and kicked her in the back struts. She landed hard on the floor and I transformed my blaster into a sword. Hers was already a sword. Our swords clashed and both of is had lubricant tears going down our face.

"Why did this have to happen?" She mouthed.

"You're father killed Blackscar..." I muttered.

Her optics widened and she pulled away from me. She transformed her sword back into her servo and she stood there. She looked away from me and I saw more lubricant tears go down her face.

"W-what? What are you p-planning?" I asked, sniffling.

"Kill me...end my spark. Don't argue and just do it" she said.

"No! You're my friend! I won't kill you!" I said.

"Please? I'd rather die under your servo than anyone else...please, this is my last request...okay?" She asked.

I figure shook and I shook my helm. I didn't want to kill her. She was like a sister to me.

"You really want me to kill you?" I asked.

"Yes..." She replied.

I nodded and raised my sword. She smiled softly and my lip quivered. I mouthed 'I'm sorry' and I ran at her, stabbing her threw her Decepticon symbol. She coughed dark energon out and I pulled my sword out of her. It was completely covered in dark energon. I looked at her and she smiled at me again. I couldn't take it. I let the lubricant tears flow agains and I wrapped my arms around her as she took her last breaths. She wrapped her arms around me and she chuckled a bit.

"Take care of yourself, okay?" She asked.

"Alright...I promise..." I mumbled.

I heard her take one last breath and her arms fell. I felt her body start to fall backwards in my arms and I had to let her fall. I let go and her body hit the ground. When I looked around, most of the Autobots were dead as well. I saw Bee against the wall, being checked on by Ratchet. I continued to look around and I caught Knockout doing his medic duties as well.

"Darksky!" Someone yelled.

I looked to see Megatron looking over at me with fury in his red optics. He pushed my father away and he ran at me. My optics widened and I started dodging him. He pinned me against a wall and he growled.

"Get off of me, Tin can..." I said.

I spit in his face and he let me go. My father punched him in the side of the helm and Megatron fell over. All of us ran out and gave Knockout one last glance before I fully was out of the door. I ran to our new hideout, where we found out that Bee's voice pipes were damaged and couldn't be fixed.

:Is this why I have to do now!?: he beeped angrily.

"I'm sorry Bumblebee...this is the best I could do..." Ratchet said.

I sighed softly and walked away with a Cyberose, the color of Darksky. I went to my new berthroom and I placed the Cyberose in a pot.

"Rest in Peace...Darksky and Blackscar..." I muttered before going to recharge.

(So, that's how the war started for me. I don't really know if some of this is right but, I apologize that it's such a sad chapter...anyway, I hope you like it and I'll try and update the story again later. Bye!)
