(I'M ALIVE!!!! Update still slow)

(Ashe POV)

I woke up from my nap I was taking on the red couch that Megatron had placed on his nightstand for me. It has been a few weeks, Finding some relics but having Autobots try and take them. We recently acquired a giant golden hammer, or Megatron did he showed up grabbed it, threatened the Autobots and walked back with K.O and Break following.

I got up and stretched hearing popping sounds before finally getting up. I decided to see what Megatron was up to. I hopped off the nightstand and went out the door into the hallway. I waved at a few Vehicons that passed by and they waved back. I soon reached the control room where I saw Soundwave, Megatron, and a third Party on their knees. I decided to walk over to Soundwave but stay out of sight behind his left leg.

"Lord Megatron, I live to serve." The mech said, "Rise DreadWing, Loyalty such as yours is a rare commodity." Megatron replied, letting DreadWing get up. He looks like 'SkyQuake' for some reason, just a different paintjob. "Mine runs deep and true, yet it is not loyalty alone that brought me here." DreadWing said, "Oh?" Megatron said quite curious to DreadWings statement. I was as well. "I seek conformation of the demise of one whom I considered a brother." DreadWing explained. A brother? I'm guessing SkyQuake.

"How did you learn of his passing?" Megatron asked, since he was no where near Earth at the time I bet. "My twin and I shared a split spark, are metal but two halves of the same life force, even across the Galaxy I sensed when he emerged from stasis on this planet. And when his spark was no more." DreadWing explained, Megatron then looked to Soundwave and his playback of the fight. I was there somewhat, Megatron was still in a coma in space at the time.

I shook my head, I don't want that to happen. I don't like seeing megatron that hurt, I know he is tough and can fight, but When he looked like... Like... I shook my head harder. It's fine, everything is fine. Megatron is alive still, everything is alright. 

"It is true SkyQuake perished at the hands of the Autobots, though not in fact, under my watch." Megatron said, so I called it. SkyQuake and DreadWing were twin brothers. "Then by the Pit, every last Autobot on this accursed world, will pay." DreadWing said, he was looking for Revenge. And Revenge just isn't the right course of action sometimes. "The Autobots will be punished for their crime and many others, HOW and WHEN, I see fit." Megatron said, "But Master!" DreadWing said, "Conflicting Agendas Will Only Result In Chaos And Failure. You would be wise to remember that DreadWing. You are under my command now, and as such, You must follow my lead." Megatron said back cutting DreadWing off.

Yes, Megatron had a point, but he didn't explain further what meaning he was trying to give. Soon DreadWing walked out of the control room, while I watch him go I couldn't help but think 'He's going to do something behind Megatron's back.' I walked over to Megatron's leg and started to climb, "Well that happened." I said as Megatron noticed me and carefully grabbed me off his waist to put me on his shoulder. "Ashe, how long where you in here?" Megs asked. "All of it more or less. Looked like SkyQuake with a different paintjob, didn't know he was actually his brother DreadWing. Sad SkyQuake isn't around anymore, even sadder DreadWing lost his Twin." I told him getting comfy on his left shoulder. "Yes, loosing someone that close is quite 'Sad'. The fact it wasn't under my watch, Tragic. If I had been here, SkyQuake wouldn't have had his spark extinguished." Megs said sadly. He blames himself? 

"There is an Earth saying, 'Shit Happens'. Wasn't your fault Scream provoked SkyQuake. Wasn't your fault SkyQuake died to the Autobots. And it certainly wasn't your fault for not being there when you were literally in a coma floating around in space at the time! Don't go Blaming yourself where the Blame was the Autobots and Bad Timing. Plus the fact SkyQuake didn't retreat when he was Out Numbered and Out Matched, So it was his own fault as well, not yours. Please Don't Blame Yourself For Things You Couldn't Control. Sometimes It's Just Not Your Fault." I said using my right hand to knock twice on the side of his helm.

Megatron looked at me with sad eyes, yet he accepted my words. "Even so, it still pains me to see a good con die so soon after awakening from stasis." Megatron replied, "A Heart, Or Spark, Is A Heavy Burden." I said back smiling. "Sides' You still need to explain to DreadWing that a Reckless Revenge is a Bad Course of Action then a Well Thought Out Plan of Vengeance. And even then, he needs to heal. Loosing someone close is sad and he is full of hate, I will not deny him that, but it will do no good with recklessness. I bet right now he is going to do something Reckless to be honest." I said looking back towards the door. "I sensed that, though I do not know what." Megatron said, "Shall we wait it out?" I asked.

"Soundwave, will you keep me informed when this 'Shit Happens, To Hit The Fan'?" Megatron asked, and I cracked up laughing that he used Earth Lingo. Soundwave put up a 'thumbs up' Emoji and a 'lol'. "Good. Now how about something to eat?" Megatron asked, as we all then made way towards the Cafeteria.

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

Soon enough SoundWave after our lunch more or less caught DreadWing making a mess. A WheelJack, BulkHead, and Optimus Prime, kind of mess. We went back to the control room to get in touch with DreadWing. "DreadWing, Where are you?" Megatron asked, "Merely pursuing my destiny, Lord Megatron." Was DreadWing's response. "Did I not order you to stand down?" Megatron then asked, "Forgive me, One True Master. But it is my hope that vanquishing Optimus Prime, Will earn your Respect." DreadWing replied. He knows which buttons to push on Megatron to get an annoying huff like the one Megatron just let out. 

"Optimus is not so easily disposed of, as I keep trying to explain to all of those who foolishly attempted." Megatron said with an actual eye roll. " I assure you Master, in but a few moments Optimus and two others will be blown to atoms." DreadWing said, I watched as Megatron sighed guessing DreadWing is gonna have to learn the hard way. "I will allow it, DreadWing. In memory of your departed Twin, But Only This Once." Megatron said ending the call. 

"I will be quite surprised if we ever set eyes upon DreadWing again." Megatron then said to SoundWave. "I think he will be wiser than his Twin, he will Retreat and come back." I said, "Then I will start making ideas of a proper punishment for his reckless behavior, If or When he gets back." Megatron replied. SoundWave nodded in agreement.

And comeback he did. 

"Optimus Prime still lives, as do you DreadWing, and that is a victory however small. As SkyQuake so Tragically discovered." Megatron started, "Speak to me not of my Twin, Lord Megatron. For I am here on Earth, To obey your will and yours alone." DreadWing said, well his revenge died down, I guess? He just needs someone to talk to a bit, he just learned the hard way not to Tango with Optimus Prime so easily. I got down off SoundWave's shoulder and told him I'm going after DreadWing.

~Gone Too Soon - Simple Plan~

"Hey there now
Where'd you go
You left me here
So unexpected
You changed my life
I hope you know
'Cause now I'm lost
So unprotected
In the blink of an eye
I never got to say goodbye~

Like a shooting star
Flying across the room
So fast so far
You were gone too soon
You're a part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon~

You were always there
Like a shining light
On my darkest days
You were there to guide me
Oh I miss you now
I wish you could see
Just how much your memory
Will always mean to me
In the blink of an eye
I never got to say goodbye~

Like a shooting star
Flying across the room
So fast so far
You were gone too soon
You're a part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon~

Shine on
Shine on
On to a better place~

Shine on
Shine on
We'll never be the same~

Shine on
Shine on~

Like a shooting star
Flying across the room
So fast so far
You were gone too soon
You're a part of me
And I'll never be the same here without you
You were gone too soon~

You were gone too soon
(Shine on shine on)
You were gone too soon
(Shine on shine on)
You were gone too soon~"

I Sang just a little bit out of DreadWing's range in the hallway. DreadWing looked down over to me, his face was something I couldn't read right away. "Why are you playing that? Human." He asked, "Sometimes people need help and support grieving. You lost your Twin and want revenge, that's normal." I told him, he looks like he trying not to look sad and crushed so he looks more blank faced than anything.

"What are you doing here anyway?" DreadWing asked, he didn't say it rudely, he said it curiously. "I'm Ashe, I'm an honorary Decepticon. I'm helping where I can while everyone is here on Earth.... So what's your favorite color?" I then asked, "Color?" He asked back.

I nodded and put my guitar back to my back before approaching him. He knelt down for me to step into his hand, he still looks if-y. He then started a walk down the hallway, "Navy Blue. I think that color would be my favorite, You?" He said, I smiled. "Black is my main." I replied.

That was how it went for the rest of the day. He just needed a friend, just needed to grieve, to let it all out like what happened today. This is just the start.

"So DreadWing, got any space stories?"
