After what seemed like hours I collapsed energon leaking from many new wounds I had obtained, a victorious looking Bulkhead soon picked me up by my neck and stared me dead in the optics.

"For the last time con, where is Bee!?" He snarled anger shining clear as day in his expression, mustering up a weakened smirk I let out an exhausted chuckle.

"Go scrap yourself," I wheezed before I felt myself being thrown to the ground, after watching all of this unfold the oh so brave medic finally stepped in.

"Thats enough Bulkhead, if Prime gets back and we hand him a broken corpse he won't be too happy," he grumbled as he made his way over to me, transforming I held a servo to my chest in agony. When Ratchet tried to touch me I slapped his servos away, they were being far too useful and I hated it just as much as I hated the pain they caused.

"Touch me you pathetic medic and I will rip you limb from limb," I warned despite my weakened state, with an annoyed grumble I felt something jab into my neck before everything went black once more.

**Time Skip**

The softest sound of whispering caused me to stir, opening my optics I shot upwards ignoring the pain in my body as well as catching everyone around me by surprise. Much to my own shock I was back on the Nemesis, looking around I began to relax knowing I was safely home amongst the others.

"Easy there we don't want you blowing a circuit, you are rather fortunate Soundwave implanted that device when he did, without it your whereabouts would have been unknown, sadly the Autobot's managed to track down and free their little scout friend but Megatron seemed to care more about your whereabouts than the life of an Autobot scout," Knockout explained his servos held up in surrender, heaving a sigh I was glad I had not spilt any information to our enemy.

"Thank you Knockout, where is Soundwave as of the moment?" I questioned stretching my sore limbs, with a shrug the medic began to polish his own finish.

"Probably with Megatron, doesn't bother me too much, that mech scares me on a good day," he chuckled, rolling my eyes I let out a soft chuckle myself before turning and leaving the room. Turning a corner I found myself in the main command bay where Megatron seemed to be viewing over some code and such Soundwave was working on, knowing I was probably in for punishment I dared not meet the warmongers gaze as he turned to face me.

"Soundwave has shown me what footage has not been corrupted during your little adventure, you did well to hold your mind, far better than Starscream who would squeal to save his own hide," Megatron informed, nodding I dared look up to see he was far closer than I had expected now.

"I would never betray the ones who allowed me to even exist, I would have happily perished to make sure those AutoBots never got a word from my mouth," I vowed, this seemed to please the dark overlord.

"You would make a fine leader with the proper training, you have the right mind to you, your strength and agility is unmatched, your intelligence matches that of Soundwave, your ability to pull through such horrible wounds is astounding, I must also point out just how well Shockwave and Soundwave did their job in creating you a bot mode," Megatron praised, shocked by his words all I found that I could do was nod.

"I never expected such praise my liege, but despite the things you have pointed out I would not dare take your place, I am unworthy and I don't even have a proper spark lord Megatron, if I were to perish I would no longer exist, not here nor the Allspark," I sighed looking down, once again I had reminded myself of just how different I was to everyone else.

"Ah but Shadowseeker, artificial or not all Cybertronian beings to exist join the Allspark," Megatron insisted, looking up at him I noticed he held the same mischievous grin he made when he had an idea or something he wanted.

"Thank you lord Megatron," I managed to say between my new found panic attack, with a slight gesture for me to follow I began to follow the tall warmonger down the halls of the Nemesis to who knows where. After turning a few more corners I noticed we had gone to the far end of the Nemesis, confused I turned my gaze up to see Megatron was sending short glances towards me as if to make sure I was still following him. Turning a final corner I found we had entered what looked to be a rather decorated room, looking around I also noticed there was what looked to be a broken spark sitting carefully on a shelf.

"Consider this a special gift," I heard Megatron chuckle somewhere behind me, turning my helm I felt myself being shoved against a wall. Out of shock and fear I attempted to open my mouth and scream but a large hand over it prevented that, looking into Megatron's optics I realised just what the warmonger wanted and I was going to fight him every moment until I was free.

**Time Skip**

After what seemed like forever the dark overlord finally allowed me to leave, trembling I managed to clean myself up as I made my way shakily to the launch bay to think hopefully in silence. Once outside I made my way near the edge before collapsing, as I sat there I felt energon leaking from my optics in a steady flow of tears. The sound of footsteps behind me caused me to stiffen, turning my gaze I relaxed slightly seeing that it was only Soundwave.

"Not safe," the tall mech noted before opening a ground bridge, confused and half blinded by my own tears I followed him through it and into what seemed to be an abandoned energon mine.

"What's going on Soundwave?" I managed to rasp between my soft sobs, the silent mech simply turned but turned his helm to glance at me.

"Autobots will be here soon, safer with them, Megatron is no longer safe," he stated once more, before he could walk away I grabbed ahold of her servo which caused him to turn once more.

"Thank you Soundwave, let's just hope the Autobot's can listen," I prayed softly, with a nod the tall slender mech summoned a ground bridge before he once again vanished. It was strange for him to show his caring side but to him I must be like kin, shaking it off I made my way deeper into the mine where I noticed a small but clear energon vein within the walls. Placing my servo on the vein I allowed the recent events to play in my mind, without realising it I had begun to cry. The sound of a ground bridge and voices approaching made me stiffen with fear, looking around for a place to hide I made my way behind some rocks aware that if they looked hard enough they would see or even hear me. Holding a servo over my mouth I tried to soften my sobs, as they came into view I felt myself starting to panic as I wondered what they would do if they found me.

"There's some left over energon, not much but it's still useful, Bulkhead see what you can dig out and I'll......" I heard the all too familiar Prime begin but they must have heard my sobs of terror because his soft blue optics turned in my direction making me scurry backwards trying to remain hidden.

"Bumblebee, Arcee come with me," he ordered his voice hushed now, fearing for my life I tried my best to wipe away my bright blue energon tears hoping the darkness would hide me. Sadly much to my horror the closer they got the louder I felt my sobs grow, the moment they noticed me their servos were replaced with cannons.

"Please..... no....." I begged energon streaming down my cheeks now as I curled myself tighter into the protective ball I was huddled in, I could sense Optimus Primes hesitation but I didn't dare meet their gazes.

"How did she go from wanting to rip us to shreds to this!?" I heard Arcee question her voice filled with shock and confusion, when I noticed Optimus kneeling down I only tightened my grasp on myself.

"I am unaware of the answer, but for one of Megatron's most trusted followers to be in such a state means he himself has done something to break that trust, I have a solemn theory as to what it may be," I heard Optimus sigh, opening my optics I noticed he had extending his hand a small distance towards me.

"He..... he......." I tried to rasp but remembering what the evil warlord had done only made me tremble, the feeling of a servo on my should caught my attention and I noticed the prime had made his way closer and his optics had softened. Looking over them all I noticed their expressions had also softened, taking a deep breath I placed my servo in his as he helped me to my feet and we began to make our way through a new ground bridge and to where my new life would begin.
