Transformers: Spark of Doom

Chapter 6: Old Evil, New life

The situation among in the Decepticon ranks are... Chaotic. Everybot is panicking over the death of Megatron. All, except Arachnid, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave, is going all over the place. Starscream was the first one to step up as leader of the Decepticons. Arachnid come up too, but Shockwave didn't since he has no interest in becoming the leader. All of a sudden a strange entity with a soft, very angel-like voice spoke to them:

?: We know what you have lost.

Starscream: What is the meaning of this! State your business Now!

?: We can give you a gift, in return for the construction of the Argent factory on Cybertron.

Arachnid: and what are you proposing?

?: We shall give life to your fallen commrads and leader, and you shall follow what's instructed.

Starscream: And if we don't.

?: This is an irresistible offer, to which you conjured us and we will do your bidding!

Not having many options, the Decepticons accepted the offer. She spoke to them again, this time a warning:

?: Beware of the Slayer's wrath. He may look normal to you, but under all those exteriors is a spark filled with rage, hatred, anger and torment. If you see the Slayer, abandoned the mission before you used up our resources.

This is giving them an indication that this is no ordinary cybertronian, but they seem to care less.

Back at the Autobot base, The Slayer is leaning against the wall, watching everything that is happening right before his eyes. They are still talking about Megatron's death and how the Decepticons would react:

Miko: so, with Meg's gone, what do you think is happening up there?

Jack: Maybe Starscream takes the cake.

Bulkhead: Maybe they're still ok.

Arcee: Maybe they lost their minds.

Mercy: or Maybe is chaotic up there.

Mercy notices the Slayer leaning against the wall. She went up to talk to him:

Mercy: So, lucky us since Megatron is gone!

Slayer: yeah, it's nice knowing your enemies are dead, except the ones you've lost.

Mercy: oh come one, be happy for once in your life.

Slayer: hm. Also I take back everything I said to you and the Autobots.

Mercy: it's alright. Can you follow me to the roof, besides no human would see us at this time.

Slayer: Sure.

With that, both Autobots went to the roof, viewing the night sky and they began to chat:

Mercy: it's nice out here you know that.

Slayer: Yeah, it is, it almost reminds me of Cybertron back in the old days. Where there isn't any war, you could see the stars glowing brighter each time.

Mercy: To my surprise, I didn't know you could last that long in hell.

Slayer: it's complicated

Mercy: hmm... So what's your Story?

The Slayer is hesitatan to talk about his past as that only makes the burden he carry worse, but he'll make an exception since it's just them... And her:

Slayer: During the Golden age of Cybertron, I was a just normal sparkling. I was taught in school and thus I have a Moral code; to save the innocent and Pure, to stop the evil and corrupted. My life was miserable back then. My parents torment me, my siblings bullied me and others viewed me as weak. All but my friends. After a while, I had a dream, set course by Primus, I left my home and run to the nearest military academy. I told them a lie, something that would become useful in dire moments, and that lie cleanse me from the past; just as Primus had hoped. After I graduated, I head back home for some "unfinished business" with my so call "family". They were shocked by my arrival. Here *gives Mercy* an audio recording of what happened next:
"
Slayer: you tried to get rid of me!

"Father": We only did it, because you were weak and we only wanted to make you strong.

Slayer: You forgot the Fact that this only stresses my Mental limit!

"Carrier": And why should we care about it. Only the strong survives.

Slayer: you are all a bunch of heartless sparks with no bond!

"Brother 1": Well here comes old Glitch, always complaining.

Slayer: You reminded me as a Decepticon scum

"Sister 1": And what are you? You are even weaker than your so called "friends" you Glitch!

"Brother and Sister 2": Ha, you'll never be an Autobot.

*Steams**Cocking a gun*

"Father": You'll always be a decepticon, and you won't even notice. You are a disgrace to our family name, you are *Boom*

Drops on the floor.

"Carrier": Go to Hell, you demon; you killed your father! Your a monster.

Slayer: no false carrier *revs up Miniguns and charges flamethrower* I am Your DOOM

*Bunch of screams, bullet fire and flame spewing*
"

Mercy was left speechless, she has never heard this kind of heartless rage, even to ones family:

Mercy: You... killed them.

Slayer: What do you expect from a mind that has been tormented for his entire sparklinghood.

Mercy: I'm sorry to hear that.

Slayer: Thanks... What's yours.

Mercy: Well it's a bit similar yet different. I was the best anyone has hoped for. A fast, agile, elegant and polite Autobot. My parents treat me well as well as my siblings. We have a strong bond, until the war. My parents died in my arms, I'd cry as much pain in me as possible since now our bond is severed. But before they died they told me; to be strong, and always look out and take care of others. Don't let their deaths weight it on you. And those were their last words. I was called By Primus. I reached the core of our world and he gave me abilities strong so long as my Spark is pure. Primus remarks about my Spark, being the Purest of them all. I taken this as a compliment. And now here I am.

Slayer: Sorry about your bond. And it looks like we both have destinies marked by Primus.

Mercy: Maybe we have the potential to bring Cybertron back to life.

The Slayer, having feeling for Mercy when they first meet, takes a deep breath and talk:

Slayer: You know Mercy, remember when I sided with the Autobots I had a feeling, something I have felt before. Your eyes look so innocent and Pure, your body as elegant as I've seen and your Spark pure as I had ever felt.

Mercy: I could say the same for you; Big, strong, gentle and with honor. You reminded me of the times were I protected the people of Urdak from the demon invasion. I... Feel like.
.. I love you.

Slayer: Same here

Mercy: *holds the Slayer helmet and tilt it up**leans closer*

Slayer: wait, what are y- *kissed*

They kissed during the night sky as the full moon rises. After they break away from that kiss, they started to go back into the base. It was dark inside, but they manage to find their berthroom, which was coincidentally, right next to each other's room. They went into a recharge afterwards.

When they woke up, they greeted Ratchet, who is surprised that they both seem to wake up at the same time. Everything was well, until the alarm went off. Everyone was scrambling and ready their weapons. Till a message appears on the Autobot screen. After Ratchet open it a recording is played:

?: If anybody is hearing this, note that I'm hiding somewhere amongst the Stars, where I shall not be found. If you, the Slayer, is hearing this; be ready for a fight as the Khan Maykr has tracked your return. If it's Mercy hearing this, protect the Slayer at all cost and make sure the Khan Maykr can't get to him.

Bumblebee: *beeping* What was that!

Slayer: I think I know who that is, be ready Autobots, because the war just came to Earth.
