Mirage / Cliffjumper / traitor

Traitor
------------------------

Mirage was backed into a corner, body shaking like a leaf as he stared straight at Cliffjumper with fearful optics. Though the minibot was smaller than him he was packing a huge gun and had it aimed right at Mirage's chassis. One wrong move and he'd be history.

"I'm sick of people never listening to me! No one ever listens, not even when I gave them solid proof!" Cliffjumper shouted angrily, optics narrowed with a wild look in them. Mirage slowly began reaching for his gun; if he could at least shot Cliffjumper in the leg or arm he'd be home free.

"This is the last straw! I'm going to prove once and for all that you don't deserve to be an Autobot!" The minibot ground out, the gun charging, as he got ready to fire. Mirage's optics widened, he had to act. Now! Mirage stepped forward just a bit, gun pointing at Cliffjumper's arm as he cried, "Cliffjumper, please be reasonable!"

"Shut up Mirage! I said don't move!" The red bot yelled. Mirage stepped a little closer and yelped as Cliffjumper fired a shot at him. It barely grazed his side, but in his fright he fired and the position his gun had been slipped up to aim at the red mech's chassis.

Cliffjumper cried out in agony as the shot hit him. Directly in his spark chamber. He toppled backwards as Mirage rushed up to him and cradled his head in his lap. "Cliffjumper! Oh Primus...t-this wasn't supposed to happen!" Mirage shouted, tears beginning to blur his vision. The red mech was beginning to turn gray as his air cycles went slower. One last breath and he pushed out a word that would haunt Mirage for the rest of his life cycle.

"Traitor."
