Where's Blades

Conversation and Repairs

Knockout and Breakdown were nearvous to open Soundwaves door to say the least. Soundwaves habsuite was off limits! Gossip said that even Megatron himself never entered Soundwaves habsuite, hopefully it wasn't true. Breakdown slowly opened the door revealing dim orange optics piercing through the darkness of the room. The small bot must've turned off the lights. "Hey there lil guy." Breakdown said noticing the energon dripping from claw marks on his chest and what looked like a bite on his neck. Breakdown reached for the light controls as Knockout looked at the small bot. When BD turned the lights on they saw how injured Blades really was, he had forcfully opened one of the claw marks wider than it was originally most likely in an attempt to drain energon faster, maybe even to kill himself. "We came to repair you." Knockout said knowing this wasn't the time for any games. Blades optic filled with tears. "I- I dont want it!" He sobbed. Knockout would've left right there but he knew Soundwave would be mad. Breakdown slowly came closer to Blades who scooted away from the ex wrecker in fear.

Knockout glanced at Breakdown who shrugged. "You need medical assistance." Knockout said. "All I need is to get out of this smelting pit!" Blades cried. Knockout rolled his optics and growled light giving Breakdown a nod signaling him to grab him. The ex wrecker nodded back before coming a bit closer before jumping at Blades and forcing his arms behind his back making Blades scream and struggle. Knockout growled in announced, wondering how Soundwave put up with him! "Shut up!" Knockout yelled making Blades shut his intake and let out quite whimpers. "For primus' sake... look me and my assistant only came here because of orders from Soundwave! I don't give one steaming hot scrap about what he's doing and what he has done. All I want to do is repair than leave no more no less, understand?" Knockout said with a growl he was having a very bad day and the small rescuer wasn't helping. But Blades nodded slowly too scared to speak or even to disagree. Knockout sighed and Breakdown let go of Blades still dented wrist plating. Breakdown walked over to a repair box and handed it to Knockout who grabbed a welder. "You know.. you never answered my question." Knockout said. "Q- Question?" Blades whimpered staring at the welder in fear. "Your name?" The cheery red mech said smiling slightly at his fear. "I- Its Blades." He whimpered as Knockout began welding the claw marks closed. "Im Knockout and the big blue mech is my assistant, Breakdown." Knockout said gesturing with his free servo to Breakdown. Blades optics hovered on Breakdown freaked out on how big and probably dead he was. Blades suddenly hissed in pain as Knockout accidentally welded over wiring. "Your plating is so thin its like you didn't even fight in the war." Knockout said to himself surpised by how fragile his plating was. "I never did fight in the war! Im a RescueBot." Blades responded even though he knew it wasn't directed towards him. "RescueBot?" Knockout pulled his welder away and looked him in confusion.

"Y- Yeah. Before the war there were dozens of units out to save other cybertronains who needed saving!" Blades said curling his servos into fists as he tried to act tough. "Oh... you mean those little groups of Autobots who responded to any call even if it was Decepticons?" Knockout asked with a smile and Breakdown chuckled at the memory of the little "brave" RescueBots. "W- Well of course! Lives are lives no matter what!" Blades said feeling his confidence drain. "We called them easy targets. Breakdown has probably taken out most of the rescue groups... they always had this sparkling like hope that every 'con could change." Knockout said about to get back to welding. "You killed them all because they wanted to help!?" Blades yelled tears threatening his optics. "Well of course, they chose their side." He said rolling the welder in his servo with a no duh expression. "They came to rescue and you killed them! They were only trying to help!!" Blades yelled tears streaming down his face as he started to realize that Soundwave probably did the same to lure him in. "They believe bots could change and it wasn't our fualt to show eatch of them they were wrong." Knockout said. "You all are monsters!" Blades sobbed making Knockout smiled. "Your just realizing this now?" He said darkly.

Breakdown chuckled and Blades let out a scared whimper as Knockout came back in with the welder. After a long silence the cherry red mech spoke. "I must admit orange and white doesn't suite you at all." Knockout said finishing up the claw marks on his chest before noticing the scratches on his glass frame over his spark... it appeared to be pried open. Blades didn't respond. "I think purple would suite you better... probably some red optics to go with it." Knockout continue. "I- Im not changing my colors!" Blades growled trying to hide how scared he was again. "Are you sure? Your gonna be here for a while so you better look the part." Knockout said optics following from his chest to his orange optics. "What?" He said confused on what he meant. "Well... by the scratches on your plating and the bite on your cables I highly doubt Soundwaves gonna let his little pleasure bot go anytime soon." The cherry red mech explained. "Plea-!? I am nobodies pleasure bot!" Blades yelled anger and the feeling of hopelessness started to take over as unknown to the small rescuer sent though the bond straight to Soundwave. "What do you think Soundwave has been doing for the past couple of days? Doing as you want or doing as he wants? A meaning of a pleasure bot is a bot who pleases there master." Knockout tapped his clawed digit on Blades glass frame where Soundwave pulled his frame open. "And by the looks of it you certainly have been pleasing him." He added a smile spread across his face as Blades struggled to hold back tears but soon failed and started sobbing.

"I just want to go home!"
