Chiller (TFP fanfic)

Chiller.


Her family, her friends, her entire species torn apart, her trust for anything, anyone gone.

No one there at her aid.

They were closing in and she had no where to run or hide. Cybertron was falling apart where she was from and the grounds she knew were falling apart beneath her very feet. No one was there to hear her. This was the end. She most likely wouldn't make it through the torture chambers. She knew that being so small wasn't really any help to her, despite her ferocious-sounding name, and she would put up not much of a fight. She had nothing to live for. She couldn't even get out of this one even if she wantedto!

She froze when a bright red Decepticon mech rounded the corner and his eyes squinted with evil. He stepped out and slowly, menacingly took massive steps towards her, pummeling her inner thoughts.

Four drones followed him and a smirk stretched across his face when he stopped. His blades were hidden, but that didn't suppress her fear in any way.

He signaled the drones to stay behind him and he took bigger steps towards her. She slid down against the steel wall and dropped with her knees in front of her chest, pushing her back against the wall, as if she could seep into it and disappear. His red optics blazed and she cowered away, cringing.

"Well.." he bent down to her optic level, "Another pitiful weakling, eh?" She was frozen in terror, trembling and her bright blue optics were round with nothing but absolute fear. The Decepticon sneered with half his smile only going halfway up his face, "Are you an Autobot, sparkling?"

She shook her head, more like thrashing because of the amount of fear placed within her as the mech's entire self got dangerously close to her. "But you're also not a Decepticon," he concluded, half asking, "Your optics would be red."

She sat in silence, fidgeting and trembling, pleading with him in her mind that he would spare her life. But to no avail, he gave no sign of sympathy as his servos switched into blades.

She breathed through her dentures in fear and he smirked again, promoting her terror to climb even further, "Getting information out of you won't be very hard. You're just a sparkling." His blade reached just underneath her chin and it slowly began spinning with a threatening sound. He continued, "Now—"

Before he could interrogate her, a humming sound, an engine, slowly and faintly was heard from above. The larger mech sighed, "Great." he muttered.

A pale mini-bot launched into the air from above and landed swiftly. He was scratched up and had dents everywhere, so he must've had somewhat experience with fighting. His first actions suggested that he had no idea he wasn't alone, then he turned and tensed, letting out a short gasp. He noticed her, pinned mentally by the Decepticon medic, who was glaring at him. His drones stood in a defensive stance and stepped towards him.

She gazed at him, slightly scared for his safety and begging him to run away through her thoughts. But when he ran forward rather than away, she expected the worst. The medic turned to her suddenly, threatening to gut her with his razor blades, "Are you an Autobot or not?"

She slightly shook her head and he sighed, "Then you're no use to me."

Her optics widened and she tensed, pressing herself against the rock wall, trying to get away from the larger red mech. He slightly reared back and aimed the razor.

Closing her optics, she expected the worst.




The blow never came.

The Decepticon medic let out a loud yowl of pain and she heard him fly back, knocking into the ground. She didn't put her optics back online, to scared to see what she thought she'd see, though she did it anyway.

The small scout raised a fusion cannon into the Decepticon's faceplate threateningly, frightening him thoroughly.

She stifled a laugh. Sissy much?

His expression quickly changed when the Autobot let him go. An angry and defeated look was plastered across his faceplate and his optics squinted with an extremely annoyed or frustrated look.

The Decepticon medic raised himself up slowly, growling lowly, "This is just the beginning for you, scout." He took off, leaving the broken bodies of the drones that had been accompanying him behind.

She stated gently after him, before she remembered the yellow scout. She awkwardly shook her helm to get her thoughts straight again and raised a servo to it, off lining her optics in the pain she received from the red mech. She had them online again, only to notice an outstretched servo reaching to help her up.

The femme looked up to the one who had saved her, a warm, gentle smile and soft blue optics greeted her. She felt comfortable as soon as she met eye-contact with him.

Odd. That's never happened before. This planet was filled with war and hatred for one another. At least, that's the only thing she received from anyone since her family perished.

The young Autobot gently took her servo into his and helped her up. She was roughly his height, perhaps a bit shorter. His pale yellow armor was dented and scratched all over, making it hard to understand why he was being so sweet. That usually meant that she was about to face down another snotty, defensive, violent Cybertronian.

But no. This one was different.

Something about him said he was incredibly sweet.

But... how?

"Are you alright?" The Autobot startled her out of her thoughts.

"Y- yes," her voice was shaky. She hadn't used it for hours, "Shaken up, but I'm fine."

That adorable smile came back, "I'm Bumblebee."

"Chiller."

water was running
children were running
you were running, out of time

under the mountain
a golden fountain
were you prayin' right below a shrine?

but, oh, oh, oh your city, lies in dust
oh, oh, oh your city, lies in dust
my friend

we found you hiding
we found you lying
choking on the dirt and sand

you form a glory
and all your stories
dragged and washed with eager hands

but, oh, oh, oh your city, lies in dust
oh, oh, oh your city, lies in dust
my friend

water was running
children were running

we found you hiding
we found you lying

water was running
children were running

we found you hiding
we found you lying

your city lies in dust, my friend
oh, oh, your city lies in dust

hot 'n burning
in your nostrils
pouring down your gaping howl

the multi bodies
like burning cinders, caught in your throat
oh!

oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
oh, oh, your city lies in dust

oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
oh, oh, your city lies in dust

oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
oh, oh, your city lies in dust
