(A/N: This is based off my unfinished Earthspark rewrite, so it's different. The Decepticons have all reformed. You're a Chaos Terran, so you can feel Aftermath's emotions and pain, and he can feel yours.)

A few hours earlier, you'd gone with to the carnival with Mo, Robby, Twitch and Thrash and he found an Embershard there, which you five had decided to steal since Fairmaestro was a bad guy- or something along those lines- He just wasn't a good person.

When Mo, Robby, Twitch and Thrash had Cyber Synced, shot the restraining bolt off of Cosmos, Fairmaestro had fallen, and so had the Embershard.

When you attempted to catch it, it fell into a puddle on a road below the highway. This created Aftermath, a Chaos Terran. You'd gotten injured, but so had he since a few moments after he was literally created, a tow truck crashed into him- which he'd scanned to be his Alt Mode- and caused an explosion and lots of fire.

One hour later, here you, Aftermath, and the Malto's were, in the base under the barn. Wheeljack was also there and he was treating yours and Aftermath's injuries- with a bit of resistance from the other Chaos Terran.
