Chapter 3
Eventually, Umbra was reactivated and the straps were
loosened. She laid there on the examination table with her optics shut and her
systems detected some foreign information and starts attacking the new
programming.
What did he do to my systems? I do not recognize this programming.
Some time passes by and she reopens her optics but they felt strange. After a
few times of blinking, her crystal clear vision returns but they still felt a
tad strange as if they have been altered. For the time being, the main
importance was to get out of here and not worry about one’s optics. In quick
fashion, Umbra hoists herself into a sitting position and noticed the welding
marks on her frame. At first, she was very confused but then she glares and
snarls at Shockwave. Immediately Umbra stands up on the examination table with
my blades fully extended from my arms at a stance and ready to fight The blades
started to glow white from her spark's energy. She stands there heaving with
anger.
"I will show you pain and you taste of your own medicine!!"
What the youngling said and did was absolutely not what Shockwave expected.
Umbra flips off of the examination table and give Shockwave a fierce whack from
my two blades before giving a good and powerful roundhouse kick. From this
attack, Shockwave realized that this experiment has failed and now he had to
fight. He was stunned about the fact that the new overwriting didn't work, so
stunned that he just stood there letting himself being attacked. His processor
still tried to figure out what was wrong and then he found himself lying in the
debris of the wall behind him after he got kicked right into it. Finally his
tactical systems kicked into gears as Shockwave stood back up. She was darkened,
that made her way stronger, but she was angry if not to say furious, and that
would cause her to make mistakes. In relative quick fashion, Shockwave did not
bother to use his disruptor, rather he charged forward with his fist and hammers
it towards the Shadowcon youngling, who realized that she could not warp or
cloak out of the scientific lab. Rather as the fist comes towards her, she grabs
it in the palm of her hand before she look at the one-eyed Cybertronian with an
evil smirk and look in her optics. In quickly perform a high-raising kick at his
head.
These tactics astonished Shockwave and in response he quickly gets out of the
way of the kick at the same time as he opens his fist and turns his hand in
order to grab hold of her wrist. He felt that a firm grip would now prevent the
Shadowcon from counter-attacking. While he has a firm hold of her wrist,
Shockwave knocks her off balance and ramming his knee into her lower body part.
However, Umbra has other ideas. With an evil look in her optics, she whacks him
with the blade on her free arm and cuts Shockwaves arm armor sparks occurred.
The muscle wires relaxed immediately and let go of the Shadowcons' wrist.
Shockwave growled in pain and backed off as his engine liquids dripped out of
his damaged arm. But the mad Decepticon wouldn't give up that easily so he
charged at her, only this time unfolding a rotor blade of his own and lashed out
her aiming for her head. At the very last second as the blades comes towards
her, I instantly cross my blades in order to prevent his rotor blade to cause
some damage to my head. The rotor blade and the youngling’s blades made contact.
While dealing with the rotor blade, Umbra performs a powerful and quick
roundhouse kick at his waist.
Shockwave uses his damaged arm to guide the young femme’s leg towards his
shoulder while he rips rotor blade out of her crossed blades and attack her with
his blade going towards her head. Umbra growls at the mad scientist but was
caught unaware of the rotor coming towards the side of her head. A small portion
of the wing is torn off, which causes her to hiss at him and harnessed more
energy from her spark and allowed more of a glow to be exhibited in her blades
and cut his shoulder armor and eventually also hit his neck severing some vital
wires. Spark dripped out of the wound caused by the blade glowing so unusually
intensive and Shockwave paused for a moment. Even though he barely had anything
worth the word face expressions but still the astonishment was visible. The race
of the Shadowcons was indeed strong and with Dark Energon even stronger. The
Decepticon Scientist had no chance to finish the thought. His body collapsed as
the energy flow could no longer be controlled by his main processor due to the
cut in his neck. Lying on the ground Shockwave could feel the strength leaving
his body like an ancient curse. It was odd but somehow he had the feeling to be
killed by his own creation even though it was a failed experiment on someone he
didn't create. But there was something... Nothing as much as an emotion but it
was a flash in his dying processor.
"Go... Run away. You've earned your freedom but... Your past, the events that
occurred to you here.. Will always pursue you. To the end of your natural life.
You will never forget what happened here."
Shockwave wasn't sure but maybe he now felt a perverse pleasure of the feeling
that no matter if his body died here tonight, he would survive in his victims.
Those who became his property to experiment on and survived would always
remember what they have experienced here in his lab. It was a kind of being
immortal. Shockwave would have smirked if he could as the single optic went dark
and the sound of his servo motors died due to the lack of energy routing and
processing.
