Highshot hated the war. She saw many friends turn to Decepticons. And many more die in battle. She just wanted to turn back time. To when Autobots and Decepticons were never thought of. To when she saw Orion and Megatronus having friendly chats about peace. To when she and her best friends raced around the streets, annoying the authorities.

But that was all gone now.

She left Cybertron long before it went dark. She found a remote planet to settle down and forget the war.

As she was running in her beast mode through a forest of Earth she imagined her best friend running beside her. Wildfire's fire-like pattern glowing fiercely like a bonfire, indicating she was was happy.

Loud thunder snapped Highshot out of her thoughts and she skidded to a stop. Her panther-like tail lashing.

Oh, it's just thunder she thought. It sounds so much like the war.

She sighed, thinking of seeing her friend's-

No. She pushed back that memory as hard as she could.

Well, time to head back to the cave she thought.

And she was off and running again.

~~~~~~~~

It was pouring rain when she got to her cave by the ocean. It was well hidden, right below an overhang. You wouldn't be able to see it unless you were right in front of it.

Loud dripping sounds of water echoed through the cave as she approached. She transformed into her robot mode.

Larger bots wouldn't be able to fit in here, making it an even better hiding spot. And it went on for miles underground.

When she got to the main cavern where she powered down, she scooped up a very small Energon cube she had found deeper in the cave, and sat down.

She could still hear the pouring rain and thunder from outside. She had a few flashbacks as she ingested the Energon.

She was VERY bored. Not much happened. She did enjoy studying the life forms on this planet. She recalled the time she observed a large group of humans outside at night, blasting their music from a radio. That was the first time she discovered that this species could make music. She enjoyed some of the tunes. Soon she learned to listen in on the human radio through her comm.

She patched in on a radio. Oh! This was her favorite!

" I'm born to run

Down rocky cliffs

Give me grace

Bury my sins

Shattered glass

And black holes

Can't hold me back

From where I need to go!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

There was a sound. From outside.

She turned off the radio and raced to a small nook in the wall to be hidden.

There were voices. She couldn't make out the words.

One of them had a deep monotone voice. The second voice seemed young.

The voices faded away as suddenly as they showed up.

She didn't risk coming out from from her hiding spot, so she stayed there for the rest of the day and night.

~~~~~~~

When she was sure it was safe to come out, Highshot exited the cave and stretched.

The sky was clear and bright, but everything still wet from the storm.

Her sky-blue plating made her look like she was a chunk of the sky and had fallen down to the ground.

She stared at the ocean for a long time. Then a seagull came and perched on her shoulder.

"Oh. Well hello!" She said.

It sqwauked at her and flew off.

First interaction with any being in a long time she thought.

She transformed into her beast mode and ran off along the beach.

Highshot was a different kind of Cybertronian. She resembled one of the creatures here on Earth. She looked much like a panther.

She was so deep in thought that when she came to a road, she forgot to stop and look for cars or any humans.

When she crossed the road, she felt something large and heavy hit her at high speeds.

She felt her leg snap and her right side dented in.

Sharp pain in her front right leg and unbearable blunt pain all along her side.

She was on the side of the road. It hurt to move. She couldn't move.

There was a large red and blue truck that was stopped, and...

Wait...

Is that the Autobot symbol?

But before she could examine closer, she blacked out.
