"Do you feel it?"

"I do.. but how?" Chromia growled as she lowered her weapon, these fleshlings before her had claimed to be her own. Of which she did not believe but right now, this feeling, was all the proof she could ask for! Deep within her dark spark was a connection that only could be formed with sparklings. But HOW were these... disgusting creatures her sparklings? She didn't ever remember being with anybot let alone HAVING them. "I do not recall ever having a sparkmate to do such a thing."

"You do." Miko replied. "Though your sparkmate isn't our Sire."

"You make no sense human."

"Before you were to bond with your... current sparkmate. You and your sisters went to celebrate." Miko explained.

"Long story short. You drank to much, you and Sire had a fling and you ran the morning after." Mika snapped angrily.

"And WHO is your Sire?"

"Soundwave."

"Impossible!" Chromia laughed ruefully. "That sparkless mech interfacing with anyone let alone going to a... club?"

"Buzzsaw eject!" Mika snarled and her bird like Cassette ejected from her belt, feeling his creators fury as he landed on her shoulder with a loud hawk like shriek.

"Woah!" Miko reared back, "What the hell Mika?!"

"Impossible." Chromia breathed, only Soundwave had this Cassettes frame but the last time she saw it, the thing was not alive. Only one of Soundwaves lineage could activate a cassette he himself designed. This... this was impossible. Unlikely! Illogical!

"My designation." Mika started, "Is Soulspark! And beside me is BleakMelody! WE are your creations, yours and Soundwaves! YOU!" She barked angrily "So angry were you that you had a moment of weakness through the highgrade, disgusted at the one you interfaced with, you tried to kill us off. Horrified at the creations within your frame. Yet you failed to kill us and we were saved by another. Sent off to this planet."

"We absorbed the nearest life form to fit it." Miko continued. "Human, and changed to fit in. To hide among them in plain sight. Only, we're trapped as humans now."

"Human yet not." Mika finished, Buzzsaw tense on her shoulder with her whirlwind of emotions.

"No." Chromia denied. "Even Decepticons would never try to offline a sparkling."

"You did."

"You were an Autobot."

"I would never be one of those worthless scrap heaps!"

"and you were going to sparkbond with one! Ironhide, his designation is Ironhide. He was missing and you left us to go find him. We were told you died yet here you are, on the other side. What would he think of you now 'Mia?"

"Stop calling me that!"

"Why?" Mika challenged. "Does it bother you? Does it? Mia?"

Chromia snarled, slamming her servo next to the child who did not even flinch, but something in her processor was keeping her from trying to harm the girl. Something... so familiar about those defiant golden eyes that burned into her very spark. She furrowed her brow as images began flashing in her helm every time the child called her that nickname. What were these?

Memories?

~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~

"Your mine forever Mia." A mech stood before her, giving off a gentle smile as they calmed from their previous euphoric feelings.

"Forever." Chromia agreed with a vent, closing her optics as bliss filled her being. "I'll never let you go." She told him.

"That should be my line." He smirked at her. "But I agree, and neither shall I."

"I'll always fight to find you." She was happy, mated to her other half... her sparkmate. Her Hide...

Ironhide..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I miss them." Chromia cried, clinging onto Ironhide who stroked her back.

"I know."

"My sparklings... My sparklings... Why... Primus why..." Chromia clung closer to her mate as guilt ate away at her. How could she... how could she harm them... her sparklings. Why? Why didn't she keep them. She couldn't take it, the pain and regret...

~~~~~~~~Flashback end~~~~~~~~

"These memories." Chromia frowns. "They are mine...? I was an Autobot? Now... Deccepticon? That means... Megatron has tricked me... betrayed..." She snarled in anger as she glared around the room. Thoughts filled her helm... Ironhide... her spark reached out for him but then... why hadn't he checked the bond to see if she was still alive? Why had no one come for her or thought to investigate? Why? She felt betrayed by both the Autobots and the Decpeticons. She had no true faction. No.

Chromia would be a neutral and do what was only best for her.

The others could go frag themselves.

"Where are you going?" Miko called.

"Your just going to leave again?" Mika growled, "You are such a coward!"

"Be silent little girl!" Chromia turned on her, spark hurting. "I am no longer Autobot, yet now I can not even have a home among the Cons." She grit her teeth. "Do not think that because I have regained these... memories that I am the same bot you knew before. She is dead!"

"I don't believe that" Mika denied.

"Believe what you will human." She made her way towards the door. "I am no longer your concern."

"Wait! Chromia!"

"Mia!"

The bot ran out the room, transforming mid jump before racing off into the halls.

"She left us again..."

...

...

...

"I tried all I could to fix her."

Mika, who's back was to the Decepticon leader, stared outside the nemesis windows. After Miko and her had seen Chromia they parted ways. Miko returned to the team, helping them get a special device that was filled with data and almost getting caught by Knockout, of course Ratchet had come to... offer his second opinion on Knockouts decision. When he and her caught each other's eye's she flinched at the look of disappointment and nearly cried from the painful clenching of her heart as he turned and left without a second glance. Now she stood string at the stars with tears running down her face at what the decepticon was telling her.

"They left her for scrap." His voice cooed in her ears. "I had the best doctor I could look after her, but unfortunately the damage done to her was to great. She lost most of her memories and through her gratitude for our help, she had joined our cause. I had hoped you wouldn't meet with her until all her memories had returned."

Mika clenched her fists as she grit her teeth.

"The Autobots," Megatron spat their name like poison. "Had left your carrier for dead the moment it got too tough for them. I will admit the insecticons went to far and were accordingly punished for the transgressions against your carrier."

Mika felt Soundwave's tentacle roam over her in a comforting grip and she let all her raging emotions inside bleed through the bond, causing her sire to flinch back at the raw feelings. "What will happen to her now?" Mika questioned softly.

"My guess is, with whatever memories she's regained, she will run rogue. Do not fret Soulspark, She will be found and I promise you on my word as a Gladiator and Lord we will..." Megatron pauses. "Help her."

Mika nodded before looking up to her sire. "I grow tired... may I be... excused for the night Lord Megatron?"

"Indeed." He waved her off.

Mika followed Soundwave to their berth room, him picking her up and holding her close to his chassis as she curled within herself and let all her emotions and feelings out.

Why couldn't she just be happy for once?

Megatron watched the girl leave before turning to Dreadwing who awaited his orders. "If you find that accursed Autobot you are to terminate her on spot." He growled to his second in command."

"My Lord?"

"I gave my word that I would... help her ailing carrier." He smirked. "And I shall, by aiding her to an early grave. Soulsparks poor carrier is suffering, we mustn't let her continue her suffering."

"Understood." Dreadwing spoke before turning and exiting the control room.

"You will be molded into my perfect soldier." Megatron murmured as he stared at blueprints of her cybertronian form brought by Knockout. Observing any weak spots and any place that could be modified to his liking.

He would tap into what ever power's she held within, and with it he would destroy the Autobots.
...

...

...

"Mia..." Mika tried one more time. "Please... I need you."

"I need you too..."

  "-I loved you... Danniluk..."

"1%"

Chromia's body began  convulsing and her voice box grew raw with her screams. She wanted  Ironhid, she wanted Mika and Miko! She wanted to go back and erase what  she had done... She wanted them to know how sorry she was! She wanted  another chance. Chromia let her tears fall as the pain both emotionally  and physically became to much. She couldn't take it anymore.

Her vision turned white and she felt hands, small and soft, resting upon her cheek. "Mia?"

"Mika...Miko..."

"I love you Mia..."

Chromia screamed as electrical bolts shot through her system, her whole frame shook in pain at the force running through her and she tried to fight whoever was attacking her. The poison in her wires had all but faded, being replaced with something... foreign. She squirmed in her spot and cried in her head for relief when suddenly her memories began fading one by one. Every bot she ever met, being replaced by ones she had not. Relationships... fading... Ironhide... Ironhid- Iron... who? Who was.. who was Ironhide?

"GAHH!" She cried out as more memories began fading.

Mika... Miko! W-who were they? Why was she crying for them??? Where... where was she? Memories... memories replaced the now missing ones.... She... she was on a mission. She had been scouting for dark energon for her Lord and Master Megatron when those... Accursed Autobots attacked. She had been out numbered and on the verge of offlining when Shockwave found her and healed her.

Now... she would recover and return to serving her master... All Hail Megatron!

She gave a snarl as anger filled her, hatred... no kindness and she gave a malicious smile as her coloring darkened and the Decepticon symbol began to shine and replace her Autobot Insignia. Shockwave turned to his computer, looking as the Autobot version of Chromia began to fade and he typed a few more things.

He deleted all files and information having to do with Chromias old life as an Autobot. She was a decepticon now, Autbot Chromia was dead.

"Subject terminated."

And Decepticon Chromia lived.
