The underground network of Cybertron is known as the Undergrid. It is an ancient system of tunnels that wrap all around Cybertron. No one knows how deep the Undergrid goes or who made it. Some say that the Undergrid goes to the center of Cybertron, but no one has ever returned from a voyage there. Most Cybertronians avoid the Undergrid's treacherous depths.

“Darkness, nothing but darkness… I am unable to find an exit out of this labyrinth underneath the cover of Cybertron. For long have I been imprisoned here? I cannot know for sure, but I know for a fact that it has been too long. What shall I do right now while the drones are out looking for my escape?"
Drone: …
“Yes, I should collect more energon soon. Our supplies are starting to grow thin again. This will not suffice, not at all. All I can do is wait though, wait for some buffoon of a transformer to open an exit. Once I am able to leave I shall destroy everything I am able to reach. I have grown strong down here and I have a high felling that the rest of my kind must have grown weak. The likelihood that they have grown stronger is minuscule."
Stockpile had been talking like that for two cycles straight, alone in the darkness. He started to collect little shards of energon as he continued to talk into the endless void. One droid followed him while the other nine wandered the tunnels. If anyone ever entered the Undergrid, Stockpile would know.

All alone, striving in the under grid like a low class cybertronian. It was a horrible thing to endure. Having been betrayed by Zeta Prime and killing my comrades, there is no mistake. He must pay, but to what cost? To fight against the autobot armada? Were they even aware of this to happen? Maybe or maybe not, but either way they too are the enemies. Living down here taking energon from scrapes were a waste. It was the only thing to live off on as fools who get here would become my prey. Suddenly a noise can be heard, it seems another prey has come by to be feasted on. The sound comes closer as a small little drone is searching around the area looking for a way out. There is a way out, but for them to search it would be futile. Launching forward, the drone tried firing at me, but I was merely to fast for it as I grabbed and started sucking out the energon from it. Soon it became weak as the drone was crushed by my bare hands. That was a satisfying quench and if someone sent a drone then they are around in the under grid which means a better food source. Soon an opportunity would reveal itself and when that time comes, vengeance will be mine.

“Where is my tenth drone? They were all recharged and it is impossible to be lost from me. Something must have destroyed it; something is down here as well. How long was it been down here? Have I just missed it again and again, or has just now appeared in this prison? Either way, the foolish bot has picked a fight with me, and I shall bring about its end. I need to build a new drone to replace the old one though.”
Stockpile started to collect scraps of metal to build his newest drone. He was building as fast as he could, but that wasn’t very fast. He knew that he needed all ten of his drones, for losing one was losing a tenth of his fighting ability. He also needed more energon though. He would have to make the choice of fighting with only nine drones or without full power.
“I have enough energon to run for three more cycles, but I will require my full firepower, just in case I am weaker. I must make them all pay, and I’m unable to that if I go offline. I believe that is the best course of action, don’t you agree?”
Drone: …
He continued to walk through the darkness, creating a new drone. He was laughing while doing so. There was no reason for him to worry, for he had a plan.

It appears that another drone has come to get destroyed. By destroying the drone one by one, it will lead him to his prey. The drone quickly searched around to find a way out, but to also find the attacker that destroyed the drone. Making his way towards the drone, Shadow quickly charged after the drone and started dodging as it fires upon him. One blast managed to hit his side, but he ignored it as he grabbed the drone and started crushing it with his bare hands. Another drone destroyed and another step closer to hunting down the bot.

“Another one is gone. Luckily I finished my new drone, but I need all ten of them to win. Now I need to build another one and call the rest of them back. Whoever is murdering my drones will not fall easily, but neither will I. I know this maze quite well, so I have the advantage.”
Stockpile started collecting all the energon shards and his net that he used to carry his energon. Walking around in the darkness, he called back all his drones and prepared for the arrival of his new found enemy.
“I shall rain in victory soon enough. There is no way I can fall before my enemy, not like this. Then I can get him to lead me out, and I shall have FREEDOM!”

Looking around for more drones, Shadow begins to spot one more drone looking around. As Shadow goes to destroy another one, it suddenly turned around and headed to the opposite direction. Where is it going? Maybe back to its master thus enabling him to find his target. Shadow quickly follows behind the drone, making sure that he is unseen by its scanners as he waits to see who is he dealing with. Having taking refuge in the under grid, he will make sure to use it to his advantage.

The last drone had come back. Stockpile had been waiting for this one, for he could tell by the echoes of the fallen drones and their location, that whoever had been picking them off would be following this one. With intelligence like his, it was easy to figure out the area in which the murderer had inhabited. Though he still couldn’t see whoever it was, he knew it was there, he had to be.
“Welcome to my Maze. You can come out now, because I know your there. Or you could stay hidden, either way I will make you fall. So you killed two of my drones, so what? I have all ten again and you still don’t scare me.”
Stockpile wasn’t scared, but he was still worried. When was the last time he fought something? He hasn’t even seen another Transformer for a long, long time. A forward battle was never to his liking, but this wasn’t one. Stockpile had a plan, and as long as his enemy picks the right target, victory was in his hands.

After following the drone, Shadow stops as the drone went over to Stockpile. All ten of his drones were all together as Stockpile looked at each one. So this transformer can only make 10 drones and he looks like his energon supplies will fuel Shadow's systems. Suddenly, Stockpile called out Shadow as he said that he will make him fall. Pretty big words from a small transformer. If he thinks he is going to win this then he had another thing coming. Shadow emerges from one of the tunnels as he looked upon Stockpile.
"It appears that you been here for a long time. Just because you got 10 drones don't make you a hot shot. Time I showed you who runs the under grid. Little bot."
Shadow reaches behind him as he pulls out a large black sword with red at the hilt. The sword opens up in the middle as energon ignites the sword making it seem like its a flame sword. Shadow looks at Stockpile as he pointed it at him.
"I'll let you have a taste of my blade Deathcalibur."
After saying that sentence, Shadow wings opened as thrusters fired up making a large screech sound through the whole under grid. Shadow titled down and charged after Stockpile swinging his sword at Stockpile. Making sure that he takes care of the drones, Shadow uses his left hand and started firing his palm blasters at the drones. For every swing, he fires, for every fire, he swings. If that didn't work then does a combination attack, his wings both aimed to the left as he started spinning like a tornado. Out of the spin, he fires with his left hand while holding the sword straight in front of him.

A sword came swinging toward Stockpile out of the darkness. With no time to react, he had to take the full force of the blow. Even with his high defenses, the attack still took its toll on him. Then, while Shadow was attacking Stockpile, he started to fire on the drones. Perfect. The first drone fell to the ground and split in half. Inside the drone were wires, a mini radio box, and 5 energon shards. The moment the split opened, all the other drones opened and spilled energon shards. Stockpile transformed into his hive form for the extra defense as one blast hit the energon and the whole cave lit up. As the smoke was fading, Stockpile could hardly stand, but he still got up to see the damage.
“I still can’t see anything. Did he survive the blast? Even if he did, he should be unable to battle anymore. But I’m out of drones, so I can’t fight either, so if he can still fight…
