8 Up For Adoption

1. Shockwave was going to die slowly and painfully.

2. Soundwave's attempts at flirting were… interesting to say the least…

3. He always played both sides and tore those who were against him down from the inside out…

4. The assembled mechs stared in awed shock as the seeker mimicked the voices of both his leader and various other comrades with flawless precision.

5. The war was raging full force on Cybertron the day Optimus Prime died, mechs were falling about him in the grasp of gruesome deaths, yet when he passed it was more like fading quietly out of existence. As he died the Prime slowly awoke into a new world of barren lands and mass graves with nothing but an emotionally damaged seeker as a companion.

6. The moment the startled seeker’s back made contact with the polished silver of the wall, images began to bleed outwards from him onto its surface. Images of peace and war, anonymous lives and deaths, images of things from the respective pasts of each of those present, flowing freely from where the seeker arched, agony written across his features.

7. His laughter had been called many things throughout his life by those unfortunate enough to hear it; eerie, painful, haunting, insane, the list went on and on, none of them flattering, but never before had it been called perfect with any level of sincerity.

8. ‘You know, when the war is over, nothing will be as you say it will.’
