(Thank you to anyone who actually reads this book. I have noticed that not many people have read the previous two chapters and it makes it slightly difficult to continue writing. I would also want to say that I am working on a new book, but it may take a while since I plan to publish it all at once, so thank you and enjoy your day.)

Flashback to the pits of kaon where she has her first fight against gladiators.

Okay, four... Four against one... You got this.
Beast mode only, they are Cybertronians, no need to go over the top.

Silent Shadow sat with her audials held flat against her numerous neck plates. They glistened in the light that shone over the arena, her protoform rose and fell as biolights pulsed, fuelling her body as she stood breathing heavily. Four Cybertronians stood at the other end huddled and obviously strategizing.

The arena was filled with citizens all looking for a gory battle. Many were cheering since the fight was near, others laughed and conversed, and some just looked in disgust as they observed the over-estimated beast Silent Shadow.
There were many more watching this time since they actually managed to persuade a predator to fight gladiators. The announcer walked up to the podium and took position on front of the mic. As soon as they grabbed the mic the blue barrier that split the arena in two disintegrated.

Oh, luna.

The four gladiators who had previously been discussing a strategy now split up, they started circling her, two bots on each side, all with the same goal.

"Let the battle... BEGIN!"

"Battle."

Epic battle scene (sort of)

Okay... focus.

Silent Shadow stood still, watching contently and nervously for the other to lunge as she had learned they were taught.

Come on, I know you want to.

She is right as Retrocharger lunges at her and immediately transformed into a beast that was definitely much bigger than her. His pedes thundered as he charged towards Silent Shadow.

She bends into a defensive stance, slightly intimidated, waiting for the right moment to leap.

Just as the beast is about to trample her she jumps up and phases over him, barely avoiding his energy field that pulsed with rage.

Woah, too close.

The mass of sparkling transformium comes down to the ground before taking form, turning into the dangerous killer she hated to be, but used more often than most modes.

She looks up with one crimson and one golden optics, growling as she released the built-up Energon she had stored from previous snacking, turning it into blades lined with electricity that tipped her extended wings.

I love being able to use Energon safely.

Retrocharger growled, lunging once again but this time Silent Shadow turns only halfway and brought her right-wing up to face the incoming opponent. her optic ridges were furrowed in a deadly glare, but inside she was confused with his unexpected movements.

He unexpectedly launched up, his form shimmering in the darkened realm and came spiralling down with fatal weight threatening to crush her femme-like frame.

Silent Shadow extends her other wing and spins out of the way. A graceful move she learned from Cybertronian battles she had watched back during her youngest era.

Thank you, gladiators...

Retrocharger pounds into the ground, his expression showing the evident surprise and frustration on his faceplates. He then turns, growling fiercely at Silent Shadow.

"You are a disgrace..."

En chucks, I hate you too.

"Please spare me your misguided comments, at least I do not tire myself with your traditional antics." Silent Shadow exclaimed with pure honesty, though, she intentionally added a slight edge to the last two words.

She almost regretted it as she watched the surrounding Guardiano's expressions go from neutral to offended with many growling at her bluntness.
Silent Shadow also noticed that the Twilights held no concern for their aggression as Thunder Claw and Feary started laughing at the easily offended Guardianos while their companions looked at her and cocked their helms to the side.

Obviously angered, Retrocharger charged forward, his optics glowed a dangerous clash of fire and ice, red and blue.

Oh boy, here we go again.

The Guardiano growled as his limbs expanded while multiple blade-like spikes shot out. His battle mask snapped shut and his tail pulsed with the visible toxin that was commonly produced by Guardianos.

I was hoping this fight wouldn't require the extra juice...

Silent Shadow again jumped over the hurling beast, phasing into one of her broadly classified as rare modes, one of a Cybertronian she once called her fiancé.

The surrounding Guardianos leaned forward, in subconscious awe of the fact that one of their own actually had a mode like that.

It's quite interesting that they're all synchronized...

Silent Shadow looked over her sexy structure and rotated her clawed servos, quickly surveying all possible options to end this fight in her favour. After thinking for a surprisingly short time Silent Shadow thought of something quite epic - painful but not deadly - for her opponent.

Let's see what happens when you touch Energon

Retrocharger turned and charged again, except now he covered all possible escape routes, and she would never cower.

A maniacal laugh escaped her dermas, but the voice was far from her own. She was scared, but the last thing she wanted right now was to let Retrocharger know that, so she laughed.

Unsheathing a menacing blade from her right servo, just under a fusion cannon, Silent Shadow took a few steps forward. When within reach she impaled the hurling Guardiano and tossed him aside.

Facing Retrocharger - who was now much weakened and leaking fluids from the stab wound - she silently waited for him to rise.

"What are you waiting for... traitor?"

"For you to get up." Silent Shadow replied. Again she noticed that the voice was much different (and sexier) than her own.

Simple, better not make me explain.

"Why, when you could finish me when I am weak, after all, you are untraditional..." The Guardiano turned his helm to meet Silent Shadow's optics.

And you're making me explain...

"I would never end an opponent's life while they are defenceless unless they are only suffering."

Like when I first saw my love...

"I guess I was wrong about you..." He smiled.

Wha-

Before Silent Shadow could say anything Retrocharger jumped up and tackled Silent Shadow, who still remained in the same form of a grey Cybertronian.

A growl was all that emitted from her voice box as they both fumbled on the ground, one trying to kill and the other trying to dodge. After a while of struggling Retrocharger managed to pin Silent Shadow to the spot and attacked with no mercy.

Bringing her arm struts up, Silent Shadow blocked the deadly blows - had they hit her helm that looked similar to a bucket - and tore the heavily armoured arms of this Cybertronian's mode open. Circuits sparked and Energon began erupting from the limbs. Without realizing the potentially deadly liquid, Retrocharger continued clawing at Silent Shadow, trying to offline Silent Shadow.

Ow! Ow!... Okay, cut it out...

Breaking her position, Silent Shadow turned the exposed Energon lines towards Retrocharger who now went for her helm, and gripped the neck cables of her opponent.

She smiled as the Guardiano abruptly ceased their attacks. Their optic slits narrowed and a deafening shriek tore through the air. Silent Shadow just laid still as the Guardiano began convulsing from the Energon that now ate his processor alive.

It actually worked!

After an echoing thud and minutes of silence, Silent Shadow finally stood, still in a Cybertronian form, she grunted as she surveyed the damage on her arm struts.

Thunder Claw is definitely going to hate me for this.
