I apologize for this chapter being short, next one will be longer I promise. Picture above drawn by me in FireAlpaca woo. Enjoy the chapter

"And what if I DON'T?" Grinder spat.

"Oh you know damn well what will happen if you don't." NightShade growled.

Her face is hidden by the hood of her dark blue cloak, but I know that it's her. The other Decepticons stood from their seats and surrounded NightShade, but she gave off no indication of intimidation. If anything, I could swear she was grinning.

"Oh boys, do you REALLY want to do this? You'll only end up getting your afts handed to you." She said with a cocky tone.

"Big talk from someone who's all alone." Steeljaw grinned.

She shrugged her shoulders. Grinder squeezed my arm much harder, I felt his fingers penetrate my flesh. I hissed as I felt the pain shoot up my arm, I looked down and saw Energon started to spill out of the small wounds. I saw NightShades eyes widen as Grinder had hurt me, anger filling them.

"Get her." Grinder ordered the other Decepticons.

The cons attacked NightShade, only she was faster than them. Much faster. She swung her clawed hand at Thunderhoof's face and left 5 huge claw marks in his face, he screamed in pain as energon spilled into his eyes. She then grabbed Steeljaws tail and swung the wolf into Thunderhoof and Fracture.
Barricade and Sideways grabbed NightShade from behind, pinning her down to the ground. She couldn't move at all, and it was clear she was trying to get free. Barricade pulled her cloak off and they saw her black and purple color scheme.

"Little Miss NightShade got in way over her head." Barricade chuckled.

I growled and punched Blackout in the faceplates, HARD. He let go and held his face. I charged towards Sideways and Barricade, ramming into them both and pushing them off NightShade. NightShade immediately got up and looked at all of the unconscious Decepticons, she then turned to me.

"Spring?" She said with happy eyes.

I nodded with a smile, the next thing I knew I was being squeezed in a tight hug. NightShade was hugging me, I hugged her back tightly. She pulled back and looked me over for any injuries, the only one being where Grindor squeezed my arm. She frowned as she saw it.

"Ugh, Grindor is such an aft. Are you okay, Spring?" I nodded again.

"I'm fine. But I mainly go by Springlock now. Also...how are you alive? I thought you were killed...." I trailed off.

"What are you talking about? I never died." She said.

"But what about Airachnid? She stabbed her spider leg through your stomach." I argued.

"Oh THAT? That was just a flesh wound. Remember that I'm a hybrid, hybrids have special properties. But when I woke up after that happened, I saw you were gone....I thought that Megatron had taken you back, but I snuck into the ship and couldn't find you. So I knew you weren't there. I came back home to see if you were taken by somebody else, but I couldn't find you still..." NightShades ears fell.

"NightShade, I came here on account that I need your help. My home world was taken over by Megatron and it's basically a mineral deposit, I need your help to get my world back." I told her.

Her ears perked up and her eyes widened. NightShade held a growl in her throat, she certainly sounds pissed off. She picked up her cloak and put it back around her shoulders while keeping her hood down.

"So you need my help with getting your world freed from his rule? How could I say NO?" She grinned.

"Excellent! We can leave in the scout ship I used to get here." I told her as we left through the bars door.

She saw my scout ship and took off towards it, me following behind her. We entered the vessel and I went into the cockpit, I sat in the seat and fiddled with the controls. NightShade sat in the other seat and looked at the controls. The ship began to ascend rapidly, I took control and piloted the ship upwards. We took off with a loud whoosh.
