To you, the Nemesis was noting short of absolutely terrifying.

Honestly, anybody who didn't find the dark blue hallways spanning as far as any optic could see fear-inducing was either a super-bot or non-existent.

Or Megatron, of course. The guy practically lived in darkness, basking under the lights resemblance of the glow of dark energon.

Speaking of which, your chilled frame trembled as you slowly made your way through the winding hallways and multitude of lifts and doorways that led to the big M's chambers. You scrambled to detangle the many knots that had formed in your mental processor, picking away at hints and strands. He hadn't sounded...mad, per say. If fact, as strange as it sounded, he had sounded almost...excited. It had been hard to tell with his voice scrambled over the comm.

Occupied by your thoughts, your mind had completely jumped over the sound of echoing ped steps; that is, until a sudden force stopped you in your tracks, whipping any ounce of balance left in your peds away and sending you tumbling to the ground. Gasping, you sent a look up at what had caused your fall. Your optics widened as a tall dark shadow looked down at you, red visor glaring down at your shaking frame. An overwhelming wave of pure fear washed over you as your shuffled back. Two more shadows joined in behind the first, all of them staring at you. Their glares burned holes into your frame, as you tripped trying to scramble back to your peds.

"Commander, are you ok?" A deep scruff voice asked, as the first shadow stepped into the violet light, revealing a vehicon. Blushing deeply, you bowed your head.

"I'm so sorry." You rambled, pushing through. The embarrassment was too much, and it made you feel sick to your tank. You hated being out of the safe confines of your chamber as much as it was; you felt so exposed to everybody and everything. It was an equation of disaster just waiting to happen. Mumbling to yourself, you rounded a corner.

And smacked into yet another thing.

This time, the abrupt impact threw you to the ground immediately without the embarrassment of tripping over your own peds, knocking the breath out of you. As you looked up, the energon drained from your faceplate and rendered your body cold. There, in the violet light, stood the communication's officer: slender-bot himself. Soundwave slowly tilted his helm down to stare at you. Or, at least you thought he was staring: truth be told, you were too frozen in fear to even think about the enigma that was Soundwave. 

The bot who terrified everybody else. 

He just stood there, utterly and completely still for what seemed like eons. You silently willed him to move, to do something, just so he could get out of your sight. Deciding to make the first move, you slowly pushed yourself to your peds, trembling. You slowly stepped to the side and began making your way past him. Just his presence there made your frame shiver. As he slowly began disappearing from view, just the thought of now seeing him, knowing he was behind you doing something but now knowing exactly what brought a dark looming sensation to your backstrut that made you take off as quickly as you could, fighting the urge to look behind you. Your mind was preoccupied by the thought of slender-bot to pay attention to where you were headed. The dark feeling was lifted from your shoulders but was only replaced with something else as you finally slowed and looked around you. 

Where you were, exactly, you had no idea. You had somehow ended up in an intersection of multiple corridors. 

Frantically, you turned to start walking back down the hallway you had come from, but froze as your optics fell upon the two identical entrances, one next to the other. Neither of them displayed any evidence of recent use. You frantically rushed to remember which one you had walked through to no use. Your spark began to drum more violently as the 5 hallway entrances began to melt into a blur. Your servo rose to your com but froze before you would tap the button. How would Megatron react to you being lost? Certainly not well...right? Unconsciously, your servo fell back down to your side. All you could do was to stand and listen. Moving from where you were seemed like such a bad idea, as you felt you would only get more lost. So there you stood, still, listening to the pounding of your spark. Surely somebody would come get you, you felt sure of that much. The silence surrounded you like a blanket, letting only the faint humming of the Nemesis's motor through. You waited and waited for what seemed like an eternity, though it wasn't over a few minutes. Then, there in the distance, you heard them. Small faint tappings that echoed down the hallway, growing louder and louder by the second. 

Those were ped steps, you knew that much. Who's they were, well that was a whole other mystery. You tried to match them to pedsteps you had heard before. They weren't Megatrons, that much you knew. These were much too light. That also excluded Breakdown. Vehicons were out of the question: there was only one set of pedsteps and they always traveled in pairs or trios. They certainly didn't sound like Starscreams; that and they weren't accompanied by a choir of disappointed grunts or chicken-like squeals. That left Knockout or... he who must not be named. 

"H-hello?" You called down the hallway. There, in the distance, a figure was slowly making it's way towards you. "C-can you help me? I'm lo--" Your voice trailed off as your optics finally made out who exactly was walking towards you. 

Oh no...not him. 

I am literally too lazy to finish this, and I also start school in a few hours and I need slep, so there's going to be a second part. Sorry.

 (Also slep is not a typo, it's just how I spell sleep)
