Sometimes, people are born with gifts. Other times, you earn them. Is that what makes a hero? Or the alternative, you were born evil when your heart changes to good.
Would that make me a hero?
Incendium Haugen, constantly...
"I'll give you one more chance." Megatron growled. "Will you join the Decepticons?"
"I told you, I chose the side of the Autobots! And my allegiance will not falter!" Incendium shouted desperately. There was another zap of electricity, and she screamed in pain.
"I know your every weakness." Megatron snarled.
"What are you planning?" Incendium's voice shook.
"As if I were to reveal my strategy with the likes of you!" Megatron bellowed. "You will have to wait and see, little one." His pointed digit plunged into her stomach as Energon spilled out. She restrained from crying out loud, refusing to give Megatron satisfaction.
"You can never escape me." He added in. "You and I, share the same Energon."
"Well, you forget....that I have human blood in me."

After four days, Optimus and Ratchet returned. Will rushed towards the medic, pushing his way through.
"Ratchet! Incendium needs you!" He shouted. The bot nodded as he transformed and headed towards the base. Optimus places Sentinel's body on the ground as he knelt down to greet Will.
"What happened to Incendium?"
"She lost consciousness the day you and Ratchet set off to find Sentinel. I believe Megatron is on the move, again." Will informed. Optimus groaned.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't brought Ratchet with me, she would've stayed in stable condition."
"You didn't expect it to happen. It isn't your fault, Optimus."
"Expect the unexpected." He stood back up. Optimus quickly transformed and sped into the base, leaving Will.
"Can't a guy get a ride? Do you think I like running back and forth?" Will panted. He made it to the base as Ratchet examined Incendium. Optimus stood, watching and Will could see the frustration rising.
"Megatron must've done something, there isn't any signs of someone occupying this vehicle." Ratchet scanned.
"So are you saying.....that....." Will stuttered, trying to find the words.
"It's just a Maserati." Ratchet sighed. Will's head dropped, staring at the car in hope. Just as they spun their heels away, they heard the roar of an engine and a blur of black as the Maserati drove out.
"Incendium!" Optimus called. He transformed and sped after her. It was hard to see, for she camouflaged with the dark. But he persisted, and followed her lights that flickered. It took two hours for Optimus to catch up, and he found the vehicle parked as Incendium's holoform stared at the darkening sky. Optimus parked near her vehicle and his holoform slammed the truck door shut.
"Incendium...." He began. "I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I brought Ratchet and I should've expected something to occur."
"No Optimus, it's not your fault." She spoke. "I just needed some time to think. I'm sorry if I alarmed you. I just.....I dislike being confined, unable to see the stars. I guess I do still have something human in me." Incendium sighed.
"The stars are beautiful tonight." He nodded. "May I ask, what your favorite constellation is?"
"Draco and Orion were always my favorite. I could always see them more than the others." Incendium smiled. "Do you have a favorite constellation?"
"It is hard to choose, but Orion is also my favorite constellation. It was what they called me before I became....Optimus." He then added.
"Seriously?" Incendium asked. "You were chosen as a Prime? I thought they were born....."
"One is not born into greatness, Incendium. One must earn it." Optimus claimed. "We should get back, Sentinel needs me." He offered Incendium his hand and she took it. They walked towards their vehicles and started ignition. Will waited outside the base as Incendium and Optimus returned.
"Stop scaring us, Incendium." Will sighed. The Maserati rolled down the window, ready to respond.
"Sorry." She apologized. Will nodded and gestured for her and Optimus to continue. They rolled into the base as Ironhide and Ratchet strutted to greet them.
"Sam has brought concerning news." Ironhide informed, nodding at Incendium. Optimus huffed as he transformed. "He made quite a....commotion outside, asking to see you."
"Later, I must revive Sentinel."
