The sun was setting as the solar cycle was coming to a end. The light red light the sun casted upon the city of Iacon was a comforting one, especially in the designated area known as Gacitron 5. Gacitron 5 was an place for those seeking rest, relaxation and enlightenment. Here Cybertronians could do as they pleased so long as it was peaceful. They could read the old history text, enjoy vids of stories or just talk with others.
The Autobot known as ShadowShock was given some leave time by her superiors and given a free pass to stay at Gacitron 5 for the next two mega cycles.

"When they said relaxation, I didn't think they meant this place."
ShadowShock muttered as she fumbled with the batch of flexible brochures the secretary 'bot had fostered onto her instead of just one compact datapad. The 'bot had said something about it being part of the atmosphere or something like that. All it managed to do was make ShadowShock weave in her walk towards the nearest bench.
"This is not a relaxing start!"

As Cybertronians walked about in the open area, gazing upon artwork, taking long walks, some racing in there alternate forms and others meditating in silence, no one saw it coming... From above, from the clouds came the dark shapes of war machines in the form of Decepticon seekers. Speeding across the sky and swooping down on the Autobots, they unleashed a maelstrom of bullets on the unsuspecting Autobots. Caught off guard, many fell as the attack ripped through their bodies, injuring many and paralyzing those unfortunate to fall victim. Then the largest off all the Decepticon came down, almost as if he was dive-bombing who ever was left alive. At the last minute he transformed to his robot mode and landed in his feet. It was the Decepticon warlord known as Thunderwing. "Decepticons! Spread out until you find me the one known as ShadowShock, I want her alive. If she resists then you can bring her to me without her arms and legs but she must be alive!"

All about ShadowShock, Autobots laid injured or worse. The Decepticon Seeker had done enough damage to the area already. However their were still many places for one to take cover behind. Statues, techno-organic plant holders, artwork made of strong dura-steel. The area was almost like a maze.
And now the Seekers were landing, looking about as Thunderwing continued to shout orders to them.

ShadowShock peeked out from behind the head of a larger then life statue she had instinctively bolted to when weapons fire rained down around. She swore she felt the vibration of the huge Decepticon landing. Confusion rose right along with anticipation of a battle and questions ran through her mind.
Why are the Decepticons here of all places? This is suppose to be too far in for them! Wait, was that my name I heard? How does he know my name? I'm just a scout, I shouldn't register on any Decepticon warlord's paperwork. Is he a warlord? Sure is acting like it. What am I going to do, what am-
She took a deep breath and spared a second of concentration to focus on her electricity and keep it from flaring out. No need to spike any sensors from the start. For the moment the large fins on the statue hid her but Seekers were more likely to look up than grounders. Too bad she dropped the map to the resort along with everything else but at least she still had her weapons. ShadowShock glance around, wings tightening at the sight of wrecked Autobots.
I know what to do. Make them. Hurt.
Her rifle found her shoulder and she fired at the closest Seeker she could spot.

ShadowShock's surprise attack took the head off the Seeker she fired on. All the other Decepticons now focused their attention on ShadowShock and began to move in. Some Seekers even began to open fire, spraying bullets in her direction with suppressive fire.

ShadowShock snarled as she was forced to pull back before she could get another shot off, hot chips of debris splattering against her frame.
Well, what did you expect? Now you really have their attention.
She couldn't stay on the statue, that's for sure, not with the Seekers moving up and around. She had to get out before they circled her completely, better to get them strung out in a line. ShadowShock kicked off the statue backwards before twisting and transforming. Catching herself just a few feet off the ground she opened her engines wide and bolted for a large metal archway.

As the Seekers gave chase, Thunderwing looked at what his troops were after and then began to bark commands. "No one is to harm her! She is mine! Your orders are to make sure she doesn't escape! If she does your all dead!"
The Seeker did as they were told and stopped shooting. Some of the Decepticon rocketed over ShadowShock to get ahead of her. They then landed several yards ahead of ShadowShock to cut off her escape. All exits were now guarded by the Decepticons.
Thunderwing called out to ShadowShock. "Hear me Autobot! It seems you have a unique talent that Megatron can put to use. Join us and I promise you a life of glory and promise. Refuse and I'll kill you here and now!"

The sudden drop of noise in weapons was as unsettling as seeing the Seekers speed past her. She did a sliding half circle with her nose, constantly aiming for a new direction only to see a Seeker (or two) landing with weapons bristled and cutting her off. As the forth direction as closed off to her she slammed to a sudden stop, a jolt of anxiety breaking through her confidence. To attack one now invited attack from all directions.
A burst of electricity danced visibly across her frame, almost painful even for her and she reined it in with effort, focusing on Thunderwing's announcement. At his words Shadowshock felt a sharp knife of disappointment and bitterness. The Decepticon wasn't after her because he knew about her from before. He too held no answers for her questions. She spun sharply on her tail fins to face him.
"I've already made my choice! And it seems you don't have the means to convince me otherwise." ShadowShock spat and launched one of her missiles in his direction.

Thunderwing was caught off guard by ShadowShock's defiance. Most would have begged for mercy when confronted by the great Decepticon warlord. Others would commit suicide right there and then at the sight of Thunderwing and this many Seekers. But no, this Autobot had fire in her spark Thunderwing had to admit. And to dare fire on him while surrounded? Thunderwing almost felt a pang of respect for the Autobot.
With just a second to spare, Thunderwing activated his Diffraction Barrier just in time to stop the missile from hitting him directly. The missile had stressed the Diffraction Barrier well enough that another attack would deactivate it, leaving Thunderwing defenceless. The Decepticon knew this so he deactivated his shield and went on the offensive. And he had to, not just because his defences were now weaken, because ShadowShock had actually dared to challenge him in front of his troops.
"She is mine! No one interferes!" Announced Thunderwing as he ran at ShadowShock. Thunderwing produced his Thermo Energon War Axe with the intent on disabling ShadowShock. But he started his attack by firing his Hoistster at the Autobot, hoping to catch her in the shoulder and reeling her in.

A shard of unease nibbled at ShadowShock's mind when she saw Thunderwing step out from the missile blast unharmed. But she pushed it away as quickly as it came, transforming into robot mode as Thunderwing started towards her. A twist in the direction of her jets started pushing her backwards even as she brought her rifle up again and focus it on Thunderwing's head.
You can fall too!
Something fast moved in her vision and ShadowShock jerked sideways, the shot going wide as she felt something scrap and snag on her side. A glance down showed a cable with half it's barbed end snagged into her side armor. Her optics went wide.
Slag. This can't be good.

Thunderwing grinned as his razor shape spike of his hoister embedded it's self into ShadowShock's armour. The Decepticon warlord began to use his left arm to pull ShadowShock closer to him while bringing up his battle axe for a strike. He figured an arm or a leg or maybe both would be enough to disable her and teach her a lesson in respect. Thunderwing was quite confident that this battle was already over. "Come to me and meet your new Master!"

"Go to the Pit!"
ShadowShock snarled in reply and fought against the cable's pull, engines letting out a small shriek as she tries to use them to push her back and away from Thunderwing. But all she got from her efforts was a painful digging in her side and while the cable seemed to slow down, it still was getting shorter and pulling her in. Electricity crackled over her frame in two sharp burst as her optics darted to the ax Thunderwing held ready, betraying the surge going through her neural networks.
No, no no, I can't be trapped already! No, wait, breath! You're not trapped, 'Shock, think!
ShadowShock dropped her gun and grabbed the cable in one hand in an attempt to ease the pull on her side. Then she swiveled her maneuver jets and threw herself forward and upward in an attempt to arc over Thunderwing and land down behind him, keeping the cable as taunt as she could.

Thunderwing fell off balance for a second as ShadowShock launched herself into the air. Thunderwing spun around to face her again and muttered, "Impressive!" Before throwing his axe at her in an attempt to hit her in the arm and hopefully crippling her.

The moment ShadowShock felt some slack in the line from Thunderwing's off balance she started trying to work the cable end out of her armor and never saw the throw. The axe slammed into her shoulder and chest and she couldn't stop herself from crying out as she fell to the ground, engines sputtering as she couldn't focus on them.
Worst vacation, ever.
ShadowShock managed to think as she gripped the axe with her right hand. The blade had obviously gone through her armor and severed something, she couldn't seem to put any strength in the hand - though she figured she was lucky it hadn't taken off her head with the throw arm Thunderwing had. Electric visible spat angrily around the broken armor area and she winced at the feedback from suddenly shorted circuits and broken capacitors. She lifted her head up and glared at him - she was not going to show her fear now!
"Lucky shot, 'Con! But you think this is going to stop me?"
