Confident by Demi Lavato is the insperation for this chapter. (And it's also my favorite song rn)

Anyways, this chapter has some gore in it. Cybertronian death and all. Just figure that I should warn you all!
___________________

You drive straight towards the old mine. Fear powering you and making you drive faster as you swerve off of the road onto the path.

"Get back here you coward!" A roar behind you sends a burst of strength through you as you shoot into the tunnel, and you head for the place where you and Sideswipe had been trapped.

Transforming quickly, you usher the humans through the hole, and they move without speaking. Unusually quiet as they realise that this is serious. Even the terrified femme Dallas is silent as she gazes up at you with wide eyes. 

"Stay here. Do not make a sound."
Your voice is harsh as you cover the hole with a large rock, and you silently appologise to Bumblebee as you unsheath your single katana. Preparing yourself to offline any con that tries to harm the humans you came to care about. Even Fixit deserves to be protected.

A fond smile works it's way across your dermas as you think of your smaller friends, and you turn to face the approaching, unfamilliar Decepticon as your battle mask slides over your faceplates.

Er.. former Decepticon. You note as you see the scratched out symbol that shows his loyalty to Steeljaw.

With a roar, the unfamiliar con lunges towards you, and you roll out of the way while slashing at his legs.

The black and purple mech drops to one knee as you slice through important wires, his howl of pain echoing through the cave.

"What kind of Autobot are you?!" He swivels around as he snaps out the words at you, and punches you strongly with one servo.

"The former assassin kind!" You snap back as you ready your sword.

Ducking under his next punch, you yell as you drive your sword through his fuel tanks.

With a pained groan, he drops to all fours as he holds his stomach. "You're nothing but a monster..." He spits out the words as energon dribbles down his faceplates, and you force yourself to ignore your emotions as you lift his helm with the tip of your katana.

His face contorts in disgust as he stares up at your emotionless mask, and you think back to when you took out Hammerfist.

"Maybe I am." Your voice is cold as visible fear sparks in the mech's optics, and you raise your katana to slice it down. Cutting cleanly through his neck cables, and severing his helm.

Taking a couple steps back, you force down the weaker emotions such as pity and regret as you face the tunnel again. Ready for anything.

"Well well well. If it isn't the famous Nightlock." A sarcastic voice echoes through the tunnel and you whip your helm around as pede steps sound behind you.

"Easy there femme. I believe we still have a chat to finish."

Your optics narrow behind your mask, and you ready your katana as you recognise Stteeljaw's familiar smirk.

"You could be a queen Nightlock. Come with me and you can have everything you've ever wanted." A pang of pain strikes you as Coil and Soundwave's faces flash through your processor.

"Think of the power you could have sister! And all you have to do, is say yes." His voice comes out as a purr as he tries to persuade you, but your loyalty to your newfound family is stronger.

"Never." You, tighten your grip on your katana, and he growls.

"Have it your way then femme." With that, the wolfcon lunges at you, and you leap out of the way.

Swinging around, you slice at him with your blade, but he dodges easily and stabs at you with his claws.

Sheer pain flashes through you as his sharp claws cut through your arm plating, and you drop your katana as you stumble back.

With a threatening howl, Steeljaw leaps on you, smashing your helm against the ground as his talons dig into your stomach plating.

"Y/n!" A familiar yell cut through the fierce pain as the con is thrown off of you, and Sideswipe's concerned faceplates peer into yours.

The other members of team Bee rush into the cave, and Steeljaw is forced back.

"Oh no.." Optics dart between you and the behelmed mech, and your vision starts to darken around the edges as your battle mask slides away.

Sideswipe and Strongarm are gazing at you, and you feel energon trickling from between your dermas.

"I'm sorry Bee.. He was going to hurt the humans and I just-"
"Forget about that. I've done worse in the past. Right now, we need to get you back to the base and fix you."

With a barely functioning servo, you point towards where you hid the humans and Fixit, and Grimlock goes to get them out alongside Strongarm and Drift's deployers.

"I've got her." Sideswipe's chassy lowers back into view as he waves away the Prime who had been moving to pick you up, and his servos slide gently under you to pick you up.

"Thanks red." You manage to murmur right before you fall into emergency powerdown.
