RazorBlade started crying hysterically into my shoulder plating, I patted her back as an attempt to calm her down. She was petrified as she heard the gunshots coming closer, I immediately locked the door to the laboratory to hopefully drown out the sounds and keep out the invading Autobots. The femme in my arms was still in tears, but she had calmed down a small bit after locking the door. Her little blue eyes glowed in the dim laboratory light.

"It is alright, RazorBlade." I assured her.

I wiped her tears away. The sparkling's breathing slowed as she was calmed down, she fell silent as I felt her relax. I held her tightly as I heard her yawn.

A loud bang was heard from the laboratory door, startling both myself and RazorBlade. RazorBlade screamedin fright and began to cry once again. The banging continued, I was able to see the dents forming in the laboratory door. The Autobots were trying to get in, for what reason I am unsure. I backed away from the door slowly with RazorBlade as she was hyperventilating, I set her down behind one of the tables in attempt to hide her.

The door was then obliterated, revealing the Autobots Arcee and Bumblebee. I raised my cannon arm and opened fire on them. They swiftly avoided my shots as I kept firing, not caring if my own life was at stake. Arcee had noticed the little Protoform who was peeking out from behind the desk, RazorBlade gasped as she saw her and hid behind the desk.

"Bumblebee, get the protoform!!" Arcee told her comrade.

Bumblebee nodded and went towards RazorBlade, I immediately stepped in front of the yellow Autobot.

"Touch my protoform and you WILL pay the price." I growled. The Autobot looked flustered as he backed away.

Then a scream came from RazorBlade. I turned my attention to the femme and saw that Arcee had grabbed her. I can't shoot the Autobot for I could harm RazorBlade. I charged towards the Autobot, ready to strike her as I felt a shot to my back. I had collapsed from the pain travelling up my spinal cord. Energon spilled from the wound the cursed Autobot had given me, the blue substance pooling beneath myself. The energon was spilling faster than I thought it would. I was growing weaker by the minute.

I could still hear RazorBlade screaming as the Autobots took her away, the room fading out around me.

Of course, this was years ago. I did my best at keeping the protoform safe, but I had failed. Now Lord Megatron wants her back more than ever after knowing that she's still alive. He knows that she has learned to be a leader, has valuable skills, and is very strong. Similar to him almost, but she is kind and puts herself before others.

Unfortunately, I must focus on a project I started almost 20 years ago.

~Springlock~

I sat in my chamber, looking at my shattered mirror and the glass shards that were still not cleaned up. I let out a deep sigh, for I must clean it up. Perhaps I could use my psychic powers, that should make it quick. I closed my eyes and focused, feeling my mind fall into a deep state of concentration. I see the furniture and glass pieces outline with a blue aura as everything else is black, I focus on the glass pieces. I see their auras start to float off the ground, headed towards a trash chute. The pieces fell in and you could hear the tinking as they fell in.

I see the aura of another figure appear in the doorway, this aura was outlined half blue and half red.

"Spring?" Was all I could hear.

I opened my eyes to see NightShade standing there, her eyes were wide but she had a smile on her face.

"Spring, that was amazing!" She asked and came in.

"It was nothing really, I've done this before but with those meditation orbs over there." I pointed to the orbs on my desk.

NightShade looked and saw the orbs, she went over to them and picked up 2. She looked at the swirled patterns upon them. I soon heard Nightmare come into the room, seeing NightShade holding my meditation orbs.

"You must be NightShade." Nightmare said.

"You are correct, and I assume you are Nightmare." The black and purple fox told him.

He nodded, "Indeed. Oh Springlock, I came in here to tell you that we're closing in on your home world. We should be there by tonight."

My heart filled with dread. As much as I'd love to see my old home, I'm terrified to see what's become of it. What Megatron has done to it, it's probably a living hell by the sounds of it.

"Understood.." I said, my tone sounding rather upset.

"I understand that you're not excited to return there, due to what it's been through. But I assure that when you free your home world, you can make it even better." Nightmare came up and hugged me tightly.

"Hell yes you can." NightShade said.

I felt better after that. It feels so good to know that there are others who stand by you, and care for you greatly. NightShade set the meditation orbs back down on my desk and came over to me and my scary bear. She looked at how he was hugging me, a little weary.

"So, you two are a couple?" She asked.

"Indeed, and we couldn't be happier. I'm just glad I got my special bunny back.~" Nightmare tightened his hug.

"Nightmare I've heard of you, aren't you a murderous criminal?" NightShade asked disapprovingly.

My scary bear looked saddened and sighed, "I used to be, and I must admit I feel regret and remorse for what I've done. I don't understand how I could have enjoyed others suffering like Megatron does, it's horrible...But then this beautiful bunny came into my life and helped me change, and now I'm her second in command."

I smiled and hugged Nightmare. He returned the smile as it was revealing his large sharp teeth. Most would be scared of him when he smiled, but not I. My father has sharp teeth, but not like Nightmares. Nightmares teeth are bigger, sharper, and stained with the blood from his past. I also have sharp teeth like my father's, but they're only slightly larger. Bigger than Megatrons, smaller than Nightmares.

I nuzzled my head into his chest, his soft fur very warm and welcoming.

"You never engaged in a grown up activity have you?" She asked.

Both Nightmare and faced her and were blushing like crazy, "Wh-What?! NightShade!! Why would you ask that?? But in all honesty, no we haven't. But seriously why??"

She laughed, "You know I care, and I wanted to make sure. I may be your adopted mother, but you are only 3 years younger than me. I'm 33 now, so I'm guessing you are 30 years old."

I nodded. NightShade would be more of like a big sister to me rather than a mother, but she acts more like a mother than a sister. So I still consider her my mother, one of my mother's at least. Nightmare released me from the hug as I then released him. A loud knock came from my chambers door, it sounded like someone was trying to get out only to get in here.

"Commander!! Commander!!" It was the Marionette.

I ran to the door and opened it, Marionette was standing there she was panting heavily, clearly out of breath.

"What is it? Whats wrong?" I asked.

"Lo....lo...lo..." She is very out of breath, I put my gloved hand on her shoulder.

"Breathe Mari. Calm down, and tell me what's wrong." I said calmly.

She took a few deep breaths. I could hear her catch her breath, Mari looked at me with her mask full of energy.

"Lockdown has escaped from the prison area!" She exclaimed.

"WHAT?!" NightShade, Nightmare, and myself screamed.

We immediately took off towards the dungeon area. How could he have possibly escaped? The prison has been under heavy guard, almost impossible to get by them. We ran as fast as we could, only Mari could levitate and she flew behind us. The prison was just up ahead and we could see the two guards, Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare Chica, laying against the wall with large bloody wounds upon them.

They both groaned in pain as I knelt by their sides, inspecting their wounds. They were bad, very severe. This was done by a dagger, and then I noticed claw marks as well. Lockdown wouldn't be the type to claw anyone, so it couldn't have been him. I noticed that these claw marks were only right handed, no left handed scratches anywhere. Who would claw 2 of the Nightmares? Someone with only one right hand.

"Scraptrap." I growled.
