Deep in The Darkest Night

A Rather Surprising Discovery

After leaving the village and heading down the familiar path Light was softly smiling and thinking about her part in the village gala coming up. To be asked by Magnus himself to do this meant so much to her and she wanted to do everything she could to make things go right. And if they did she would finally show that by her being a gypsy meant that they weren't in any danger of being attacked by the Decepticons. Then, as she was thinking about it, her thoughts turned to what had happened in her sparklinghood and she felt a heavy weight fill her spark from it. Even though Ratchet told her what had happened that fateful night she had no recollection of it whatsoever. And, if she was being completely honest, she wished that she could. She desperately wanted to remember at least something so that she could remember something of her family and her creator, who she missed very much. She was at the point that if she could she would do anything to be able to remember her once more.

Feeling a few coolant tears drip off of her faceplate she reached up and wiped them away, a bit surprised that she had been crying in the first place. Letting out a calming vent to ease her nerve sensors she looked up to see where she was at, and was even more surprised to see that she had wandered off the path into an unfamiliar part of the forest. Wondering how that happened she quickly started to feel an uneasiness fill her spark at being there. As she tried to find her way back to where she needed to be her audials started to pick up on something.... peculiar. Wondering what it was she listened as closely as she could and realized that it was a song being played. Getting rather curious she followed the sound to a line of trees that seemed to divide the forest in two and her uneasiness grew a bit more at it. However, the song that she kept hearing had a strange and alluring effect on her and it made her uneasiness seem like a distant feeling.

As she continued to listen the melody seemed to surround and entrance her, making her feel like she was spirited away to another place altogether, a place where she felt that.... she belonged. Towards the end of the song it had changed to a tempo that was strangely familiar to the music her fallen clan used to play and it tugged at her spark like a wildfire. It tugged at her so much that she wanted to follow it past the tree line and find who was making the music. Unable to take it anymore she raised her pede to step across the border then suddenly she was pulled back by somebot from behind her. "Whoa! You don't want to go in there, trust me!"

Quickly freaked out by that Light tried to break free of whoever was pulling her back and cross the border with everything bit of strength she had. "No, please! I need to go! I have to find out who's making that noise! It....it could be a gypsy bot that survived the attack and they're letting me know that they're still alive! Please, you have to let me go!"

Realizing what she was going on about the bot quickly surrounded her in his strong grip and pulled her away as fast as he could before the influence could take hold and pull her into its powerful embrace. Trying to resist Light continued to fight as she was taken away from the tree line, desperately pleading and crying to be let go so she could go back and find the source. As he continued to pull her away the mech had to steel himself against her pleas until they were far enough away for her to calm down and return to normal.

Once they had disappeared from the area three figures in the shadows past the tree line appeared, having watched the whole thing happened and were both equally shocked by it. Unable to believe it himself Shockwave turned and looked at Soundwave who had Laserbeak perched on his arm. "After all this time...... one still survived. And for her to be the one to hear the song...... Megatron will certainly want to investigate this. For now, send Laserbeak out to watch the two and get any important information from them. It will be key for our master to hunt her down and either finish the job..... or use this to finally have his revenge against the spirits of the gypsy bots that thought that they could stop us long ago."
