It’s Now or Never

Chapter 1

Cybertron

Ratchet, Arcee, and Ironhide were in the resident area of Iacon.  They were helping Optimus Prime recruit new warriors for their fight against Megatron and his Decepticons.  “So why are we going here?” Arcee asked as they soon arrived where they needed to go.

“A young special ops soldier lives here,” explained Ironhide. “He used to work for Sentinel.”

“Let’s just hope he’s willing to join up again.” Ratchet said.  Ironhide pressed the chime button.

After a couple of minutes the door opened, and there stood a small sliver mech.  He stared at them.  “Yeah?” he spoke.

“Are you the young special ops soldier?” Ironhide asked “Designation Jazz?”

“The name is Jazz, but I’m not a soldier anymore.” The sliver mech spoke.

“Don’t you want to stop the Decepticons from taking over?” Arcee asked.

“I’m not leaving him.”

The group looked at each other confused.  “Leave who?”

“J-Jazz...?” a voice weakly spoke from with in.  From behind Jazz slowly came a black and white mech.  The mech had seen better days, dim optics, small leaks of Energon here and there; some almost clogging intakes.

“Holy Primus...” Ironhide spoke in shock.

“...W-Who are they...?”

Jazz turned to him and gently place a hand on his arm.  “It’s nothing Prowler.” He said gently “Go back to bed.  I’ll be there in a while.”

“...O-Okay...  D-Don’t be too long...”

The group watched as the mech weakly headed back into the house.  “Who was that?” Arcee asked “What happened to him?”

“He’s my bond mate, Prowl.” said Jazz.

Ironhide looked shocked.  “Prowl?  As in the tactician to Sentinel?”

Jazz nodded.  “One of Megatron’s associates gave Prowler a very nasty virus to get past him to get to Sentinel.” He explained “That’s why I can’t leave.  He needs me.”

“He can’t survive too long if no one is around.” Ratchet said.

“That’s why I stopped being a solider.  I’m not leaving him to fight in another war.”

“We understand.” said Ironhide “Come on, lets leave before the Decepticons find out.”

“Thanks.” Jazz said.  Ironhide nods before he and the others turned and left.  Jazz stood there at the door watching them until they were out of site.  He then heads back inside.

Breems later, Jazz headed outside.  “I’ll be right back Prowler once I find us some Energon.” Jazz called inside before closing the door.  He then made sure the coast was clear before leaving.  But little did Jazz know he was being watched.

- - -

Many breems passed and when Jazz returned, a horror met his optics.  The place was destroyed.  “Prowler!”  Jazz raced into what was left and started to look for his bond mate.  Jazz started to worry when he couldn’t find him.  “Prowler!!!”

- - -

Cycles turned into vorns and Prowl still hadn’t been found.  Jazz had rejoined the Autobots after his bonded went missing.  Jazz stealthy headed inside a Decepticon base to do what he does best.  Just before he could set a bomb, a clawed hand suddenly knocks him down.  “I don’t know who you are Autobot, but I can’t decide if I should just kill you or kiss you instead.”

Jazz was confused.  His spark was telling him his bonded was there but when Jazz looked up he saw a black and white Decepticon standing over him.  Red optics glared down at him with a mix of confusion in them.  No. he thought Prowl would never join the Decepticons.  They gave him that virus to get to Sentinel.  Jazz took out his weapon but the Decepticon quickly disarmed him and pinned him down.

“Nice job Barricade.”  Jazz recognized the voice.  It belonged to none other then Megatron.

Oh slag.

“Thank you Lord Megatron.” the Decepticon called Barricade spoke “I live to serve.”

“I know.  That’s why I keep you around.  Take the Autobot to the brig until Soundwave is ready to start interrogating him.”

“Yes Lord Megatron.”

- - -

Once in the Decepticon’s brig, Jazz noticed Barricade hadn’t left but was leaning on the wall next to his cell.  “Tell me Autobot...” he started. “Why is my spark sending me this intense feeling that is making me want to interface with you so badly?”

“Maybe it’s telling ya yer not one of them?” Jazz suggested.

“NO!”  A loud clanging sound was heard when Barricade’s fist collided with a wall.  “I AM a Decepticon!  Decepticons don’t bond or interface with weakling Autobots!”

“Well good cause I’m already taken.”  Barricade suddenly turned, glaring at him.

"Who would bond, or interface, with a small Autobot?!"  Before Jazz could say anything another familiar Decepticon entered the brig.  It was Soundwave.

“Barricade, it’s time.” spoke Soundwave.

- - -

It wasn’t long until they were in a room for the interrogation, and Jazz was strapped on a table that was in the room.  Barricade watched as Jazz refused to answer any questions and would get beat up instead.  Barricade somehow felt every new pain.  He raged with the odd sensation. Seeing Jazz almost give up hope of staying alive is when something gave in Barricade.  “NO!!!” he screamed and attacked.  He knocked Soundwave offline in pure rage.  After looking around he came to the barely online Jazz.  “I’m going to regret what I’m going to do Autobot.” He said as he undid the restraints.  He then gently lifted Jazz into his arms and swiftly left the base.

- - -

Miles away, Barricade set Jazz down and fiddled with Jazz’s chest until he got the SOS beacon started.  “Your friends should find you before you die, Autobot.” He said to him before he turns to leave.

“...W-Wait...  W-Why....?  W-Why...did you...d-do that...?”

“Blame the feelings in my spark.” Barricade spoke “Now if you live I promise the next time we meet I will kill you myself.”  With that Barricade transformed and headed back to base.  Jazz watched until he offlined in pure weakness.

- - -

The next time Jazz came too he found himself in the familiar Medical Bay.  “We were getting worried about you.  It was touch and go.” Ratchet spoke “The twins found you while they were out on patrol.”

“But what I want to know is how did you get out of there?” Optimus Prime spoke “You where too damaged to make it out there all by yourself.”

“Ya wouldn’t believe me if I told ya.” Jazz said as he slowly sat up from the medical table.

- - -

“I say he’s no good.  We suppressed that virus just in case of something like this.” Starscream argued with Megatron as they stood in front of the screen that showed Barricade sitting in the brig.

“No.” Megatron said “What Barricade did was acting on that Autobot spark of his.  He still has no clue he was an Autobot or that that Autobot was his bond mate.  Besides I could use that aggression of his.”

“But Megatron...”

“End of discussion Starscream!”
