I packed my case and left with the Mercenary squad led by Mandalore. He was the only one who treated me like an adult. Everyone else in our squad such as Fowl, Rapid Wolf, and Star Adder treated me like a kid. My name is Hawk, and I was a newcomer to the Decepticon army. Just weeks ago I had made a call to a radio show owned by Cybertime Inc. Mandalore knew from my message that I was to be a good fighter. My first mission? To stop a protest formed by civilians to quit the war.
Thats right, we were going to kill innocent civilians just because they posed a tiny threat. But thats the Decepticon way, or at least thats what Fowl told me. We walked outside of our base, which was preparing to evade a march led by the Charlie Squad. I wanted to do that, but Mandalore told me that I wasn't experienced enough. Not yet at least. We got in our ship, the Vita Class 1, and flew off to Iacon, the capital of Cybertron.
The minute we got there I looked out my window and knew this wasn't going to be a challenge. We landed on top of a building and got out. We transformed into our alternate modes and flew down to the streets. When we got there we transformed and killed any protester in site. I knew Mandalore was watching me, trying to see if I was ready to fight something like the Charlie Squad. After a couple of kills, I got bored fast. But Mandalore urged me to keep going. Just to see if I was ready.
However Fowl pointed something out. He yelled that Autobot ships were in the air. Mandalore told me to pull back, but I
thought I was ready to fight. Autobot soldiers jumped from their ships and landed just a few feet away from me. I killed my first Autobot with ease, just shoving my energy sword into his spark. However another Autobot was right behind me. He shot me in the leg with his pistol, but I tackled him and ripped out his spark with my bare hands.
I shot any Autobot in site with the laser cannon on my arm. However after a while Autobots started piling over me. The other mercenaries tried getting them off, but it took forever. Mandalore tried to give me cover fire so I could get to the ship, but all I wanted to do was fight. I was naive. When I shot another Autobot in the head, he yelled at me to get back to the ship.
Mandalore: Hawk, what are you trying to prove to yourself? GET BACK INTO THE SHIP. I'll hold Autobots off! You just protect yourself!
Hawk: No! I deserve to fight the Charlie Squad! And your not going to stop me from doing that!
Mandalore: Hawk, this is more about fighting a Squad. Your life is at stake!!!
Hawk: I don't care about my life!
I ran past Mandalore and tried to kill more Autobots, yet they shot me down. At this point I was on the ground crying and wishing I was back in time. Ironically. A large bright flash caught everyone's eye. I looked up and saw the Allspark being shot into space. At this point I looked around and saw that Star Adder and Rapid Wolf had been killed. A giant flash blacked us all out.
I woke up in the middle of a battle. I think I lost my hearing for a bit. My sight was a little blurry as well. It wasn't until I got those two senses back that I realized I was actually in a battle. I tried to recall what had happened, but to no sucess. I tried to see who was fighting, and get out of the war zone. When I saw two people arguing I went over to them and was about to ask them if they could get me to shelter. At this point I had felt like an idiot, I just betrayed the one person who treated me more like a person than anyone in my squad.
When I touched the shoulder of the girl in the argument, she turned around. I had never had such a shock. It was me. At that moment another giant flash happened, and I was in some kind of building
Hawk: Where am I?
It was weird. Did I cause some kind of paradox when I met myself? Did time have to throw me somewhere else so it could fix it? Then I turned my head. It was a Quintesson. The founders of our species. The legend says they found Cybertron and gave birth to the Allspark, it stared straight at me.
Quintesson: Unidentified native. Extermination: Urgent.
Laser gun's revealed themselves from the being's mechanical stomach and aimed right at me.
