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...
Incendium had her servos bounded as she was dragged up to a building. There were domes with lights crackling like electricity, providing shelter to the objects inside from any attack. She kept a mental note of the Pillar's location, it would be an advantage if anyone from the N.E.S.T arrived to help.
"Thank you Soundwave, you brought me my pest." Megatron snarled. Sentinel emerged from behind and Incendium couldn't help but glare. "Now, where is Shockwave? I need this technical help." Megatron grinned. The roads began to churn as rocks split open to release a massive worm. A Decepticon stepped out, ordering the animal to lift him up.
"You called?" Shockwave spoke. His English was broken at every syllable, almost as if he was taught by a parrot.
"Take Incendium here and commence operation nine." Megatron ordered. The Decepticon muttered a 'yes sir,' before bowing and dragging Incendium away. "The city's secured! The humans cannot stop us." Megatron announced.
"As the afternoon falls, the rest of the pillars will reach their launch position." Sentinel informed.
"This is the victory I promised you so many years ago! Where we rebuild Cybertron....together."
"I have deigned to work with you, that our planet may survive. I will never work for you! And you would be wise to remember the difference." Sentinel growled. Incendium watched as the scenery got farther away.
"Where are you taking me?" She finally growled at Shockwave.
"Oh-h? It speaks." Shockwave grumbled in sarcasm. Incendium tugged at the chains.
"I demand to know where I'm being taken!"
"Somewhere far where no one will ever see you again. Not even your precious Optimus."
"The space shuttle blew up."
"Indeed, it did. Though I doubt that would've killed Optimus." Shockwave informed, giving Incendium a slight rise in hope. "Now stay silent!" The entire way she remained quiet, praying that the Autobots were alive, somehow. Shockwave quickly muttered a command to his worm.
"Get in." He growled, kicking Incendium as a latch opened from the mechanical worm. Shockwave tugged at the chains, tying it down so that she wouldn't escape. Incendium struggled as she was forced to face forward, Shockwave pressed his pedes onto her bipedalism cord.
"What do you want?" She growled as she was forced onto her knees.
"Oh just a few investigations, maybe an operation where you may officially pose a threat to humankind." Shockwave mentioned. "Now hold still, this may hurt." He said as his tools started tinkering upon her arms. Digging deep into every wire that connected to her body. Incedium let out a guttural scream, fighting to pull away but it was no use. She slumped to the ground and soon her optics blacked out.

"Autobots! They're alive! They're here!" Dylan shouted at Megatron.
"Decepticons, defend the pillars! Raise the bridges! Find them!"Megatron ordered. The drones above initiated and began to flood the skies. Shockwave stirred from his experiment, quickly adding some touches to complete the operation. Incendium's optics was filled with light as she groaned in pain. Helplessly, she tugged at the chains but her arms were too weak and fell limp.
"What have you done?" She demanded. Shockwave gave no response, only muttered a command to his pet.
"I suggest you rest your arms. I've finished my work and will release you in time." He finally informed. Incendium found no words, creeping closer to the source of where her chains started to rest her arms.
"Have the Autobots arrived?" Incendium asked.
"If they didn't, why would the drones above be initiating?"
"Oh I'm sorry Mr. Smarty-Pants. Maybe it's because I'm trapped and chained inside your pet!" Incendium snapped. "I also apologize for my audio receptors being crap!" Shockwave paid her no mind. The more the worm moved around, the more Incendium could hear gunfire. There were the roaring of familiar engines racing past. Shockwave ordered his worm as it surfaced from the depth of Chicago. Incendium fell to the side as pain shot through her arm from trying to regain balance.
"Optimus!" Shockwave growled. He slowly emerged, charging his canon in preparation. Incendium rattled the chains, giving a shout in hopes to grab Optimus' attention. Shockwave snarled and the chains snapped, he dragged Incendium to toss her out. She slammed into Optimus' trailer that had been detached. Shockwave then disappeared into his pet that slowly slipped away. After minutes of trying to move the technology, Incendium slumped down in hopes that Optimus would retrieve it.
"Incendium?" A voice asked. She glanced up and her optics immediately widened. "What happened? Are you alright? Have you been harmed?" He asked, scanning for injuries.
"I'm alright, some minor pain here and there. After all, it is war." She shrugged with a smile. Optimus quickly pulled Incendium for a hug.
"You're safe."
