"So what happened after that?" asked Sideswipe
"Well, we did gladiator class together, almost destroyed by a Trypticon-"
"WOAH!"

"Do tell sir!" added Fix-it with jittery excitement in his wheels
"...You'd really want to hear it?"

"Yes" they all said, so I sighed and just went with it, the more they know, the more they'll understand her reasons.

"Alright it started when...

*~~~*

Claw's almost 3 cycles in the academy, and it was the time of the season where sharkticons, trypticons and other beasts get aggresive and the time where Cybertronians, HIGH ELITE Cybertronians, will watch us fight these things. We'll we die? probably but of course the academy will a sure our safety, but if you went offline, sorry it's game over for your spark already. And guess what, today was that day, for us to survive and seize the day. The strongest, which is Bulkhead, Megatronus my best friend and Claw are the first ones to enter. Actually Claw has a restriction, she may copy the members, but not the beast of herself turn into one.

I was shivering with terror, I'm the weakest, smartest yes, but brutality and strength are not in my vocabulary. I laid my head low, hearing the cheers, the screams, the roars of the crowd calling us out. "I'll enter last with him" I faint line when a hand until a whole arm covers my left side, I looked up and saw Claw. "It's gonna be ok, just stay near me, alright?" I nodded and tried to wipe my oil sweat away. She patted my head and then the gates open. Everyone was excited, that they ran towards the arena, I looked at Claw again who doubled her size, that she's already bending her knees to fit in the small room. We approached the light and saw an arena of Cybertronians, it's like almost the whole population under one roof.

We went to pick our weapons out, I choose a blade and a shield, we went towards a big bull's-eye mark and I hit it with my shield then shove my blade in the center, then she was last to take some weapons; Claw chose two spears and the audience laughed, until she spun them in the air and jumps afterwards, spinning mid-air and kicks the first spear into the center then the other IN the spear that hit the center, and the audience went silent for awhile and she rolls her eyes at them, due to that stunt, she took another pair of spears. Everyone almost chose maces, or long-ranged weaponry, and here I am holding a blade well I'm not the worse of it...

The audience are stomping there feet "Mechs and Femmes, we have the batch A6453-45 ready to graduate from their Warrior to Gladiator class!" then a loud roar came across our audio receptors almost burning a circuit within mine. Claw looked around the crowd, taking in the moment; she raises her spears and cross them "HA! HA! HAAAA!" she hits the spear into a X mark two times then sliced the ground on the third pry, it send the crow cheering louder.

The head mentor stands up and immediately the crowd silences, then he spoke "Release the beasts of Cybertron has ever seen!" I counted the gates, 3 opened and out came a beast, with goop coming out of its mouth and body, more like an organic beast I'd say. Other gates let out...oh no, scraplets about 5 of them each gate...then the biggest gate was still closed but it's being pounded from the inside...and I don't want to find out this early. The head then raises his hand, and as he let it down with a force on a platform, a force field suddenly closes from the walls of the arena, locking us the fighters from the crowds (probably for the scraplets), then a sharp 'ding' many times when I realized...they release the beasts and they're heading towards us. I'm ready.

Scraplets flew around, some biting on the arms of my classmates, one's arm fell off until he was...eaten alive. A scraplet then bits my shield and starts chewing it off, I hit it with my blade and cut it in half, a few others came along and again and again I kept hitting them yet...why are there so many? there should be about...15 of them. I looked around to notice something was off with the surroundings, there's a compartment on the ground, half open...so that's why the crowd was laughing. I went towards it and when I was almost there a scraplet came toward my face, I tried to shield it but my shield middle part has already been chewed open. Something went through my left side and it hit the scraplet, then another until it's like a BBQ...a spear..? I turned around and saw Claw, saluting me with two fingers and winked at me "Got your back!" she yelled then a beast came toppling over her, she blocked it in time with her spear, her feet absorbing the ground as the beast pushes her back waiting for her to fall.

She did, but her next move was unbelievable. She dropped forward then dashes underneath the beast, kicks it, grabs her spear immediately and poke through the nape, she added another force and the spear got out. The beast came collapsing and she stood on top of it and raised her spear, the crowd was at it utmost amazement. The ground shook, as if every second I got wobblier and wobblier. A shadow formed in front of me, then I realize, the other beast was behind me.

It's paw came towards me, so stunned I couldn't move my feet. My energon running through my chords, so fast that it might pop, but the weight was lighter than I imagine, then steam came out. I looked up again and saw Claw on top of me, as big as the beast, with wings closed to make a shield that the beast hit multiple times. She's sweating and letting out steam, the weight is too much to bear. I got out immediately from underneath her, and she lets go. Her body slamming to the ground as the beast presses its weight more on her. And yet the unthinkable happened...

An explosion occur, the beast came flying backwards. I saw Claw, came out of the crater she made, pure of anger...her metal turned red-ish due to the heat that she absorbed from the explosion, that she made (her mouth was smoking), her wings opened in a slow like motion and she walked towards the beast. She let out her hand and it pointed to her spear, and it went towards her hand. The crowd....was in silent.

Claw faced the head mentor, she knew that she have violated the rules...just to save me... ("Wow" said the human boy Russel "then what happened?").

"Young one, you have failed to follow the rules given to you..." the crowd started to murmur until it was shouted

Trypticon! Trypticon! Trypticon! The head mentor seize the noise to a silence. "For not following the rules, for you to pass....for you and your WHOLE class to pass, you must face Trypticon...alone". Guards came out of the gates and assisted each one of us towards the gate, to make sure no one will resist to help her but...the gates were left open but the guards blocked the way. At least the guards gave space for us to watch.

Claw was looking at me...the eyes that say 'it's alright' but...a consequence she has to face because of ME.

The huge gate finally opens, the ground shook as the red lights in the gate came closer and out came the Trypticon. About as tall as the arena (4 stories high), the crowd was cheering at its glory. It roared into the skies, Claw threw away her spears and ran towards the weaponry. The Trypticon's reaction was so fast that it had time to hit Claw with its tail and flung her to our gate, where she hit the guards. "Sorry.." was the only word she said and ran towards the weaponry again.

The Trypticon did it again but Claw was aware of it, her wings opened and she flew high enough to jump over the tail. Grabbed a shield and a sword. It blew fire at Claw and she shields herself, her metal became red and her neck became a bit yellow and then...she blew out fire. Flying around the Trypticon, trying to hit its face and then pokes her blade or leave scratches on the monster. The Trypticon blew fire again and she was flying around the monster and the blast hit her, in time she shields herself but the flame was so intense she starts to heat up, the Trypticon suddenly blew out a burst of fire (fire ball) and it hit her hard and she fell with a big smoke to the ground.

She's dented and hurt, the guards were distracted through all the amazement. I got the chance to slip under them and ran towards her, to be honest...I don't know what I'll do when I get near her...

"hey you! back off!" I yelled at the monster. Claw's still unconscious, the monster then plunges its tail on me but it miss by a second stepping. I ran around the arena and the guards went chasing after me. One by one they got hit with the tail of the Trypticon until two guards were left chasing after me, that's when one pounce on me and clipped my arms with cuffs. Then a shadow appeared on the ground and coming in close, the tail of the Trypticon came from above, I got out of the spot in time but the one who handcuffed me wasn't so lucky so one guard was left and he dragged and ran with me towards the gate, until its tail swung and we came flying towards the walls, I think I broke my arm due to that impact that I yelled so loud it silenced the crowd and the monster went towards us (the guard that is, who's severely bleeding). "Orion!" she yelled out.

The Trypticon was a few feet away from us. I saw Claw walked towards the monster then she starts running and she was on fire...literally on fire! and then sprints and she steps on the tail of the Trypticon, for a small bot, the monster got tugged. She ran up the monter's back so fast that she can run a 90 degree drop. Spun then gives a kick blow on its head and guess what?...it left a big curve. It smacked Claw towards the head mentor, good thing the head mentor moved in time...then the monster grabbed me and opened its mouth in front of me *gulp* "Claw!!!!"

"unhand him you foul beast!!" she yelled as she sprang from where she left off and threw her sword at the monster's neck and she boosts her speed to catch me before it even bit me. "you alright?....ew...you smell like monster breath"
"hey!"
"just stay put alright, I can handle this" and she dropped me withing the gate where Megatron was standing and she left in a blink. The head of the Trypticon was fell right in front of us. "HA!" she yelled after every strike she made. Cutting wires, dislocating nuts, remove bolts and screws in one tear grip and there's a time she cut out the wires with. her. MOUTH, the wires are still on her mouth and she's grinning as she do so. The whole Trypticon...on the ground, in pieces, in shambles...on its own energon. The arena was in silence, she stood on the head of the Trypticon...and slurps the wires she removed earlier and...swallows it...she even licked off energon from her fingers. ("She really is a predacon huh?" said Sideswipe, "but rather chose to be normal...like us. No wonder she ran away. No wonder...she went rogue" said Bumblebee).

*~~~*

"(sigh), well actually I haven't know about it until now, heard from the Primes that Megatronus' greatest creation was here"
"Reason why she's rogue...she can't control herself. Another reason why she collects energon everyday, to not...*gulp*" Bumblebee shivers "devour us"
"Yes"
