Description
Cryogenic

Now that we were out of that cell, we were told how long we had been on the Decepticon ship. We were thirteen eons old, now we are twenty two eons old. Nine eons on the Decepticon ship, and only five spent in the cells. Now we were free to roam the ship as we please, even got the Decepticon enigma on my shoulder armor. Same with Pyrogenic.

Of course I made sure Gears was alright. The guards didn't beat him for his size anymore, only when he didn't answer questions. I should be disgusted of what I turned into, but I don't really feel disgusted. I feel like I saved my sire's life and was able to vent my irritation or anger on helpless subjects.

Pyrogenic and I usually chained the victims so they were standing, much how Gears was chained. Servos above their helm and everything. Some were stubborn, some begged for mercy but all got the same treatment. Now the agony of listening to the tortured screams became a lullaby, though only Pyrogenic has said that.

I hate the sounds of screaming, while Pyrogenic loves it. Something made her realize she could take all this power and not get in trouble, don't get me wrong its fun to prod and taunt and slash at mechs and femmes alike but its just the screaming that I hate. One of our favorite methods were to pull their frames until their arms were barely hanging by a few wires if they didn't talk.

Of course we let them scream or cry in agony, watching the energon drip down their sides to the floor until the wires gave out. Usually we played with the armless subject, and if they don't talk by the time our time is up or they are ordered to their cells, seeing the medi-con first so they would stop leaking energon, we killed them.

That was fun in its own way. The subject was always left armorless, making them easier to be pulled apart. We usually grabbed one of their legs and pull opposite ways, and if that didn't work then we break their legs. I usually sat on them to keep them down and hold their helm up and watch Pyrogenic slice their throat cords out.

It was fun to blind them too, just a small push with our digits and their optics can be scooped out so easy its weird. Electrocution I was not at all fond of, they tend to scream too much. To Pyrogenic its a light show. I have to say she changed the most out of both of us, she isn't the same femme who used to cry to Syrine that other bigger femmes were picking on her.

If she was like this when those bullies were around, who knows what kind of gruesome method she'd use. Another tool Pyrogenic and I love to use was the claws, the tool scares them to talk or if they are stubborn it rips them to shreds until they talk. The claws were easily put on, like gloves except the ends made your digits hooked, barbed claws.

Pyrogenic had learned that most subjects don't like it when those sharp claws are stabbed where they didn't need to be. Personally I aimed for the faceplate and back, shoulders as well. It was Pyrogenic who got creative with most the tools we use. I would hate to be on her bad side, she almost scared me.

My comms buzzed, making me snap out of my thoughts. "Did you hear me, Cryo? I said I am picking up enemy fighters. Aerial-bots." Pyrogenic said, sounding annoyed. "Did you inform the rest of the squad?" I asked. "Duh! You were too busy thinking so you didn't hear me!" She growled over the comms. "Alright, I'm sorry." I say.

We were leading a whole squad of aerial-cons to an Autobot battle group. The grounding team had already brought on the first wave, and now we got our time to shine. We were in V formation in the sky, jetting up to a hundred and fifty to two hundred miles per hour and coming in hot. "Left flank, cover the left. Right, you got the right side." I say over the comms.

"Be sure to cover each other, move out of your position if you have to but keep as many as we have alive. I don't want Guncraze to kick our afts, then we kick yours." Pyrogenic added. "Roger that." All of the mechs said over the comms to us. Javlyn was KOI, and this new commander, which was his second in command, took over.

And I'm pretty sure Pyrogenic has her optics on him. Guncraze was small in size, but he was devastatingly strong. He was a little less then cunning, but what he didn't have in his processor made up for in ruthlessness. And Pyrogenic saw an invisible charm he had, it was too obvious she occasionally would flirt with him.

What irritates me is that he would tease her sometimes. I would see her say something and he would turn and if they were near a structure he'd trap her there but always in the end he says something hurtful or laughs at her and walks away. I would like to rip his helm off, he was arrogant and hurtful to most and would normally talk scrap on Javlyn's name.

Javlyn was a better commander, someone that could actually lead you into battle and you had confidence you were going to kill the next Autobot in your way. So hearing this low-life speak bad about someone who had honor made my energon boil. "Cryo!! Your doing it again!" Pyrogenic's highly annoyed voice snapped into my audial.

"Sorry, sorry. What were you saying?" I ask. "Let's head up the middle, see if we can gun down any grounding Autobots. Then we can have some actual fun." She repeated. "Let's do it." I agree. Now I could read the tags of enemies ahead, but I could see them even better. The left and right flanks banked their separate ways, leaving Pyrogenic and I to head forward.

Once the battle group was shot at, the fight was on. We were being shot at by aerial-bots, as was the rest of the squad. "Pyro, split!" I say, and she banked right while I banked left and a missile aimed for one of us missed its target. It was a heat syncing, so when it tried turning it blasted another aerial bot out of the sky.

"Nice call, Cryo!" Pyrogenic said over the comms, now away from me as we shot at different targets. I transformed and fell onto the back of a big Autobot, my twin blades stabbing into his helm and I back flipped off him as I was shot at. My left servo transformed into a gun and I shot back, downing at least three before I turned and jumped and transformed.

As I did I was fired upon by another aerial bot, and I couldn't shake him. "Cryo, I got one on my tail!" I heard Pyrogenic say, and I got an idea. "Let's play dodgeball." I say. "Yes!" She agreed. I dodged the incoming shots from the aerial bot behind me and soon I saw Pyrogenic heading straight for me with another on her tail.

As we got closer, I yelled, "Bank right!" Since were were facing the opposite directions, when we banked the same direction we missed each other. The aerial bots couldn't say the same, the two crashing into each other. "See you in the Pit, scrap heaps!" I say. I heard an incoming frequency from one of our squad.

I turn it to his frequency, "Battle group near termination. Should we let the ground team pick the rest off?" He asked. "How many enemies wounded?" I ask. "All ma'am." He responded and I felt satisfaction course through me. "Get the ground team out here, tell them to take at least two as prisoner and we'll see what they know." I say. "Roger that, kill squad number three out."

I switch back with Pyrogenic. "Let's head back, the ground team'll pick the rest off. We hopefully will get more subjects." I say. "Kill squad, rally back and get into formation. Heading home." Pyrogenic said over the comms, in which we banked and headed in the direction we came with with rest of the kill squad behind us.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Back on the ship, I was looking forward to some recharge time but Guncraze ordered Pyrogenic and I to the control room to meet him. First, like always, I check the link with Gears. It had turned cold after all these years, but if I felt the coldness then he was there. I head for the control room, Pyrogenic already there.

"I have a special mission for the two of you." Guncraze said, sitting in the same seat Javlyn had when he offered the torturer jobs to us. "Since you two look like Autobots, with the light colored optics and light colored paint jobs, you will find me some Autobots who know something important. How? Well its easy, what better place to find an Autobot then in an Autobot city?"

Infiltrate an Autobot city? He was crazy! Before I could argue, he continued. "I had been informed that it is a bad idea to just try to capture the Autobot subjects with force so I have come up with a better plan. Act like Autobots. Gain trust." Wow, did he come up with that with a little help? I'm impressed. I honestly had figured that it was a simple as explaining it so I nod. "Yes sir." I say.

Pyrogenic nodded as well, "We will get it done." She promised. "Good, I hope you will not fail me." Guncraze said, waving his servo in dismissal. Our first undercover job!
