The Guide's Curse

Change in our pockets

Dux slowly opened her purple optics from recharge, and sat up. She stretched and stood up, yawning from the night's rest. She  washed her faceplate, and looked at herself in the mirror. She was the same, but a tint of light gray spray-painted her metal cheeks. She squited at the lightness, then a sparkle caught her optic. Her optics looked into her reflection's optics, and saw the same tint of lightness, but a lightness of teal swirled in her optics.She shrugged, and walked to the training room. She found Breakdown and Knockout chatting, getting a morning rest in before the chaos of the day. She walked to them ,and greeted them saying,

"Good morning Knockout,Breakdown. How was your recharge?"

"It was a nice recharge."

Breakdown smiled and said. Knockout groaned and both his friends chuckled. 

"How was your's?"

Breakdown asked.

"It was good, not a morning person, huh KO?"

Dux played. Knockout only grunted.

"Would you like to get a head start on training me Breakdown?"

she asked, grabbing her staff.

"Yeah, I'd like to rest sooner the quicker we get this done."

he replied, transforming his servo into a hammer. (hammer? IDK)

Dux nodded, and spaced herself out, Breakdown doing the same. Dux got into battle stance, and he followed.

"Now remember Dux,"

he said excitedly, hammering (???) at Dux, while she blocked his hits with her staff and arms. She dove past him, and pushed his under (?) knees, pushing him off his pedes with her staff. She got up dusted herself and leaned on her staff and said confidently,

"Always protect your knees and elbows, yada yada yada."

"Heh, that was what I was about to say."

he replied,  grabbing her outreached servo and pulling himself up, almost touching her faceplate. She paused, and looked into his optics absentmindedly, but then shaking her helm and spacing herself out.  She walked past Knockout, who was growling in jelousy (???). Once she turned the corner, she blasted to the control room. She ran into the room, and spotted Megatron and a femme. She raised an optic ridge, and turned around to walk back. 

"Dux, come meet Arachnid"

Megatron spoke. She turned around, and walked to the femme.

"So your designation is Arachnid?"

she asked curiously.

"You better believe it pal or your helm goes in my museum. I'd prefer the second one."

she replied, almost hissing. Dux took a step back, and replied scared,

"No no I believe it."

"Fine, your a lucky fly missy."

Arachnid replied. Dux breathed a breath of relief, then exused herself from the room, going into the groundbridge she asked Sounwave to put in. She transformed into her blue ferrari mode, and drove through the groundbridge. She made sure no humans were around, and then transformed. She looked around at the ground, imagining a battle going on around her, it seemed so familiar, yet unfamiliar. Then in her processor, she spotted a blue and red mech. All the memories came back to her, her family, her friends, her good times and bad.

"Who have I become? Who am I?"

she murmured to herself, holding her helm. She doubted herself for once, and her beliefs.

"You do not remember yourself?"

a voice said. She wipped around, and saw a femme, whose outline was blue.

"Dawn?"

Dux, asked, cautious of the stranger. The stranger nodded, and smiled.

"It has been a bit since I've seen you."

Dux said.

"Same for you, and you have changed, but you need to change back."

Dawn replied.

"Yeah, but I like the decepticons much better than the Autobots to be honest."

Dux said, crossing her arms.

"I see, but I am here to remind you of who you are. When I met you, I knew you were ment for the spark, and you were warm and welcoming in our time of distress. I know what happenned, and you're on your own in the task of realizing who you are."

she said, then dissapeared. My inner spark tugged at myself to find out, but I hushed it. Little did I know my inner spark still tugged at myself.

a/n wowie long part! Happy summer!!
