"How? How are you my... relative?" Mika demanded, she was now standing in front of Megatron on a cliff side. He had released her and landed the ship with a plan, and that plan was coming along nicely. He had let them go from their prisons with no doubt she wouldn't escape. Not that he had to worry, he was after all a Gladiator and she an inexperienced child so if she tried...

No, He mused, she would be a young adult to them now if she were in her true form.

"It's quite simple." Megatron drawled in boredom.

"Well, pardon me but I can't picture you with anyone." Mika muttered causing Megatron to sneer at her.

"Don't make me laugh." He glared down at her before looking up as Soundwave came from the ship with Miko and deposited her by her twin.

'Miko! Are you okay?'

'I'm alright...'

'What happened?'

'He showed me everything.' Miko replied through the bond before sending Mika the memories Soundwave had sent.

Mika almost stumbled at the amount of emotion the 'silent' bot had felt with them. He truly did care for them...

'What do we do?'

'What if we stayed?

'What?!'

'What if we stayed?'

'What about the bots?! Bulk?! Raf, Jack, Arcee, Bumblebee and Optimus?! They're our friends Mika, how could we betray them?'

'I want to be with Sire for a while.' Mika pleaded.

'What about Grimlock, Lockjaw and Riptide?'

'Miko...'

'What about Ratch-'

'Don't say his name!'

'Mika?'

'H-He hasn't spoken o-or looked at me in days Miko! I can't, I can't handle it... My heart hurts... I don't understand...'

'But we'll be separated! We'll be apart...'

"What are they doing?" Knockout, Breakdown and their new SIC Dreadwing came from the ship.

"More importantly," Dreadwing gazed down in disgust at the humans. "Why are there humans here?"

"I would watch myself if I were you." Megatron warned as Soundwave's servo twitched. "Those are Soundwave's Sparklings trapped in human form."

"My apologies Soundwave." Dreadwing bowed his head respectfully. Megatron was his leader, but he also greatly respected Soundwave.

"I will stay." Mika suddenly spoke causing the cons in the area to look down at her.

Megatron, pretending to be shocked, blinked down at her. "You will?"

Make no mistake, he knew she would say that. Megatron knew she was dangerously close to the edge of her sanity and with her sire on the Decepticon side it helped his plan immensely. Especially with how Chromia had left her, making Mika see a cruel carrier on the 'good' side and a kind (only to them really) Sire on the 'bad' side. Add in the fact that she was having issues with that medic and issues with her own inner self and well, this happens. She was tempted to the Decepticons side. Her twin however, looked like a different story.

"I take it you are not?"

'Please Miko.'

'I cant.'

'You...'

Miko quickly backed away from her twin and towards the edge of the cliff, glaring in hurt and anger.

"I will forever be an Autobot!" Miko shouted in defiance.

"So you choose them over your own sister?" Megatron mused with a dark chuckle.

"I choose Bulkhead over her." Miko spat, how could Mika do this to the bots? The ones who took her in, cared for her, protected her? How dare she do this to her! T-To Grimlock and the scraplets!

How dare she do this to Ratchet?

"I'm a Decepticon now." Mika declared.

...

...

...

"I have their location." Ratchet spoke, "putting in the coordinates now."

"We'll get them back." Optimus assured his medic. "I promise."

"Optimus I-" Ratchet started before looking down at the ground.

"Just explain it to her when we get back." Arcee spoke. "She'll understand."

"Can we go?" Sunstreaker growled. "I'm getting tired of those cons taking our squishies!"

"Yeah." Sideswipe agreed.

"We'll keep the comm open for you." Bulkhead assured Ratchet who was shamefully looking at the ground.

Again he had failed to protect his charge from being taken by the enemies, all because his jealousy...

With that in mind all the bots left through the groundbridge and Ratchet eagerly listened in the com link as the team approached the Decepticons location.

Slowly words being exchanged had become clearer.

"I will stay."

"Mika?" Ratchet gasped at her voice.

"Did she just say what i think she said?" Arcee's voice echoed in the comm with shock.

"You will?"

No Mika... don't! Ratchet pleaded.

"Yes."

No... She didn't! S-she couldn't! Ratchet gave a sharp intake as silence rung out.

"I take it you are not?" Megatrons voice sounded.

There was another pause.

"Miko." Bulkhead breathed in worry. Would she pick the cons over them as well? It would make sense, her twin was... was... Betraying them.

"I will forever be an Autobot!" Miko shouted in defiance.

Bulkhead breathed a sigh of relief over the coms but then he thought to Ratchet who was staring blankly in shock at the screens as he listened. His spark was thrumming painfully.

"So you choose them over your own sister?" Megatrons voice mused darkly.

"Optimus, what do we do?"

"No." Sunstreaker hissed, "Mika would never betray us."

"Well she is now." Arcee growled.

"Everyone be silent." Optimus commanded as he listened. He too found it hard to believe that's what Mika was saying, had he lost one of his own to the Decepticons?

"I choose Bulkhead over her." Miko's voice echoed causing Bulkheads spark to thrum wildly, she picked him over Mika... He... He felt himself grow warmer and had to try to calm his spark at the new feeling he was having.

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker scowled, how could Miko pick someone over her twin? He felt Sideswipes sorrow, he had really liked Miko. Sunstreaker's spark froze at the next words that were heard.

"I'm a Decepticon now." Mika's voice harshly spoke.

Ratchet dropped a tool he had been clenching and placed his servo on his spark, Mika... had betrayed them... She had betrayed him...

No... No!

Ratchet clenched his other servo into a fist, he had to make this right! Ratchet quickly turned to Rafael and Jack who were in shock as they listened. "Rafa-"

"Go." Jack interrupted.

"Jack?"

"Quickly! Before she's gone, We'll handle the bridge." Raf said in a rush.

Ratchet nodded before activating the ground bridge, when he stepped through the battle between Con and Bot. He dodged Vehicon fire, spotted Bulkhead going against Breakdown, Bumblebee against Knockout, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe against Dreadwing, Prowl against Soundwave and finally Optimus and Megatron. His optics widened at the sight of Mika walking towards the Nemesis all on her own and he quickly went after her.

"Mika!"

She paused in mid step, turning to look at her Autobot Guardian with a cool look. "Ratchet."

"What are you doing? How could you just- why are you doing this?" He was quick to activate his holoform, his hands grabbing her upper arms.

Her golden eyes stared up into his blue with a cold indifferent look. "I belong here."

"No!" Ratchet sputtered, "No you don't belong here Mika. Y-You belong with us, with... with me."

"..."

"I-I shouldn't have been ignoring you. Mika I- Primus why is this so difficult!" He scowled and peeked over at the still on going battle before quickly looking back to her. "If I'm to do this I... I must be honest. I care for you Mika."

Mika's expression twitched, heart thumping.

"I- Frag it all, I love you Mika."

"No." her voice quivered. "Yo-you cant. I have to do this."

"No, you don't. Your an Autobot at heart Mika, I know it. Please don't leave us.. Don't leave me. I was scared all right? I'm so much older than you, Your human-"

"I'm not a human." Mika replied. "I'm a full fledged Cybertronian. My sire is Soundwave, My Carrier is Chromia. My mother has abandoned me, an Autobot. My Father has reached out for me, looked after me from a distance and is kind to me. A Decepticon."

"No... They're brainwashing you."

"No, they aren't. You all are." She replied. "You all told me how evil they are, how bad they are. They've protected me."

"It's a trap Mika please see that. They are using you."

"NO!" Mika reared back. "Not Sire! Sire would never!"

"Mika... Please listen to reason."

"I am." Mika breathed. "And it's pointing to them."

"I don't want to have to hurt you." Ratchet clenched his chest, his spark was hurting him more then he thought it would. He hadn't realized it before, but now that there is something threatening to take her from him... Ratchet realized his Spark was calling for her.

Which meant she was his Sparkmate.

They belonged together.

"You belong with me." He said with more determination.

"I belong with my father." She growled before shoving away from him. "Sire! Sire help!"

"Mika no!" Ratchet cried in alarm when Soundwave quickly disposed of Prowl, wounding him greatly, let loose a snarl at the sight of Ratchet near his daughter.

With quick precision, Soundwave lunged forth and used his tentacles to whip at the Autobot Medic before reaching Mika and wrapping her in his tentacles protectively. If she wanted to be with him, then he would do all he could to keep her there. He knew Miko cared, but her love for the green Autobot was stronger.

He was fine with that, knowing she still cared, but was still sad she didn't want to be with him. He wouldn't change sides, and neither would she. As long as Miko was safe and alive, he supposed he would be alright with her being where she was. However, the moment she was in a life threatening situation he would dispose of the green mech and make her stay with him.

For now he would let her be.

"Mika..." Ratchet called again, transforming back to his form and pulling out his weapons. "If I cannot reason with you then I will fight!"

"You will lose." Megatron spoke, the Autobot had gotten Miko and were now cornered, Ratchet was surrounded as well.

He kept his weapons up.

"Grandsire." Mika called.

What?! Grandsire?!

"Please don't kill that one, he could be of use in the future." Mika drawled before turning away from Ratchet.

"For now." Megatron laughed. "Next time, Prime."

A portal appeared and the Decepticons left through it, Ratchet tried running after them but Optimus put his hand on his shoulder.

"Optimus I-"

"I am sorry old friend... I have failed you."

"No Optimus, I have failed." Ratchet murmured before shrugging off Optimus's servo and walking off.

"Rafael, we require a ground bridge." Optimus called, his gaze going from his medic who know stood off into the distance staring at the sky, to Miko who was crying in Bulkheads holoform, to Prowl who was being carefully lifted by Sideswipe and Arcee.

Today, they all failed...

But to Ratchet, none failed as badly as he did, for he lost his charge... and it was his fault...

...

...

...

"I'm sure." Mika breathed as Soundwave prodded at their bond. He looked over to his desk before pulling out a Decepticon symbol necklace and placing it on her neck and then watched her. "I'm a Decepticon now... I am different." She murmured into a mirror before she brought up a pair of scissors. She lifted her hair and made the first cut, and then more until her hair lay short on her head, her beautiful long locks were now useless on the floor.

Soundwave frowned, tilting his helm as he felt an overwhelming amount of pain and sorrow, her eyes began leaking tears and her frame shook. He quickly transformed into his holoform, wrapping his arms around her and allowing her to fall into his embrace. He listened as her silent cries turned into agonized sobs and just stayed there, allowing her to use him as a crutch.

"Soundwave; Will always protect."

She looked up at him, smiling sadly before nuzzling into him. After he left to grab her a few more things she turned back to the mirror with a frown.

"I'm a Decepticon now." She repeated. "I am different."

And She locked her side of the bond from Miko.

...
