Shadowzone

Prologue

I smiled as I walked with my friends, Ratchet and Optimus. Though the war slowly tore out planet apart, slowly killed Primus, I tried to see the best in situations.

"Why are so happy?", Ratchet asked, a rare smile plastered on his faceplate.

"I'm imagining what it's going to be like when this place is rebuilt. I can just imagine how beautiful it'll look.", I smiled.

"Though the Golden Age is behind us, the future presents a new.", Optimus said, I nodded happily.

"You've grown wise in your old age, Optimus.", I smirked as he glared at me.

"I'm not old.", Optimus mumbled.

I giggled. Though Optimus was a strong, emotionless leader, he still showed his emotions when it was just Ratchet and I with him.

"You never told us your Creator's names, Oh powerful one.", Ratchet joked.

My happy mood instantly fell and tension grew between the three of us.

"There's no need to. They're dead.", I frowned, "Gone forever. Victims of war and chaos. Both were slain by Megatron's servo. I watched my sire die a violent death. My carrier endured a long and painful death."

"How so?", Ratchet asked softly.

"Cybonic Plague.", I answered with a shrug, "As she died, Megatron watched with a sick, twisted grin."

I gasped as a shot hit my abdomen.

"Megatron.", Optimus growled.

Ratchet ran over to me and looked at where I was shot.

"I wear two sets of armor for a reason, Ratchet.", I grin, he smiled and shook his helm.

He helped me up as Megatron fled. While Ratchet went to check Optimus for injuries, I remained where I was. I felt that if I moved right now, my balance would be slightly off as the bullet had surprised me. I screamed for help as I was grabbed from behind.

Ratchet and Optimus turned just as I was being dragged into the Ally. My captor opened a bridge, his tentacles wrapped tightly around my body.

It wasn't long until the bots found the ship. Megatron panicked.

"Soundwave, Open a ground bridge!", Megatron ordered.

Soundwave opened a bridge. Somehow, a second one opened up in almost the exact spot. I was shoved through one of then then I lost consciousness.

When I awoke, Autobots and Decepticons surrounded me.

"Where is she?!", Ratchet demanded to know.

"Ugh. I'm right here, Ratchet.", I answered.

"Gone.", Megatron said with a sadistic smirk.

"Seriously? Are your audio receptors off?! I'm right behind you!", I growl.

I heard gunshots and screamed as they passed through me and hit Megatron. I gasped, optics wide.

"Am I.....?", I couldn't finish the sentence as I stared at my servos, horrified.

I have no idea how but I managed to get to another planet that was light-years away from Cybertron. It's ground was not made of metal but of organic substances. Where in the universe am I?
