Chapter one –
The
Decepticon smirked and leaned in closer to the struggling figure in
his grasp. The small figure was struggling best as it could, and
while it knew it was going nowhere, it continued.
After a minute
or so, it stopped, finally out of breath. It panted quietly and
resorted to giving the Decepticon a death glare.
"Well."
The Decepticon concluded in his deep, booming voice.
"We
both know that your friends are fighting to save their lives – yet
don't realized that they are trapped in a gas room. You, however,
found out, and I am surprised that you came to actually try to stop
me." The Decepticon smirked victoriously, and the figure looked
away.
"I don't know how, however, you found me."
The Decepticon now frowned and narrowed his eyes, as to study the
figure he was holding, who looked back to meet the speaker's eyes.
The angry glint in the smaller's eyes was unmistakable – and for
a second, they had a sarcastic glint, which soon vanished.
"You're
a little too big to miss, you know." It said, and then grimaced as
the Decepticon tightened its grip.
"You truly are an odd one.
But since you went to all of this trouble, I'll tell you my plan. I
was going to have my men retreat, and gas the room with gas fatal to
humans and robots. It is fatal to robots because the gas is acidic."
The figure now looked shocked, and the Decepticon chuckled.
"Tell
you what. When they die, and I take over the universe, I'll let you
be my pet." The figure now glared again.
"I'd rather kill
myself." The Decepticon frowned again.
"Well, we can't have
that, now can we?" The Decepticon earned a thoughtful expression,
and then smiled again.
"How about this: If I gas and kill
them, they all die, but so do you. Now, I can give them a knockout
gas instead, but on one condition." The figure breathed in
sharply.
"What is it?" It asked, gripping the Decepticon's
hand even harder, as if it were about to drop it. The Decepticon
laughed.
"I will do the same to you…I have an experiment to
try out on you…I will erase your existence from everyone's
memories. However, you keep your memories. I want you to understand
what this is." The figure was filled with dread, and after a while,
the Decepticon added, "So, I guess that it will be B?" Slowly,
the figure nodded.
"Good." The Decepticon said, and then
turned on his radio. "Starscream, I want you to retreat and release
the knockout gas. Then proceed with my Plan 4A." He hesitated, and
then relaxed when the radio burst into life with Starscream's
voice.
"Yes, Megatron. I understand." Megatron smiled, looked
at the figure in his arms, and smiled wider. With a simple flick of
one of his fingers, he hit the figure on the head and its body
slumped, now unconscious.
Bud
bolted up from his position on the floor with his blanket thrown over
him. He was breathing fast, and his eyes were unfocused for a few
seconds.
He gasped for breath for a few minutes before looking
around, like he had all of the other times that he had that
nightmare, now fully aware.
He groaned and let himself fall back
into his previous position. He stared at the ceiling, sighed, and
then sat up again. He was sitting in the corner of a dark and
spacious room, one about one and a half the times of his old room,
except this one was incredibly bare.
He stood and leaned heavily
against the wall to support him. He looked around, spotting the door,
which was in the corner in front of him, against the wall.
In
the corner to his right was a small swivel chair in front of a large
screen with lots of mini-screens around it, suspended by metal wires.
They were showing a picture of silent static.
Ignoring it and
checking the last and empty corner, Bud slowly departed from his
wall. He focused on the door once more.
He walked over to it and
reached out to open it. He then paused, sighed, and turned around to
survey his room once more.
The only thing in the room other than
him and the monitor and its chair was his blanket. Bud looked at the
monitor again, and decided to check it.
He walked over to it and
sat in the chair that was attached to the large monitor. While
glancing once more around the room, he turned to the monitors, turned
them on and viewed them, resting his head on his hands.
After
giving a heavy sigh, he switched the monitors to show different
camera views with one hand while keeping the other one under his
chin. His fingers moved quickly over the keys, his eyes staying on
the monitors, never even looking at the keyboard.
He viewed some
more scenes and smiled sincerely at them, and then turned all but one
off again and got up. He changed his clothes, from a white tank top
and white sweats to another white tank top and black pants. He walked
over to the door and hesitated again.
Taking a deep breath, he
leaned in to the door, and pressed his ear against it. Yes, he did
hear someone sitting outside there, but which person was it?
He
held his breath and listened more intently, and then heard a certain
clicking noise of metal joints moving ever so slightly, like someone
was moving their foot.
Bug smiled to himself, frowned and
unbolted his door, and paused. He smiled, shook his head, and then
opened his door, jumping out of it and scaring the being outside of
it greatly.
"Good morning!" Bud said happily, as well as
loudly.
The being smiled apologetically, and then relaxed from
his sudden fighting stance he had made when he had been scared.
He
had been the one most against the reason for Bud being here in the
first place, supported Bud, and was the one that got along the best
with him.
"It is still hard to believe that you can be this
happy after all that has happened in the past two months." He said,
and Bud shrugged, frowning a bit.
"Well, what else choice do I
have?" He said, and smiled. "Besides, I can't always look to
the past, even though it might be part of my future." He asked, and
the other chuckled.
"Good point. Are you going to the indoor
garden now?" He asked, and Bud nodded.
"You're coming with
me, right?" He asked, and the being nodded again.
"I don't
have a choice, even if I didn't want to go. I like the garden, even
if the others don't." Bud chuckled, and elbowed his 'friend's
knee.
"Some manly guy you are, eh?" The other gained an
offended look, and a guilty one at the same time.
"Well, I am
the King of the Jungle."
"Whatever you say, Scourge, whatever
you say." Bud answered back, and the two walked down the
aisle.
In Bud's room, the one monitor, in the corner, and being the smallest one, showed the Main Control room on Optimus's ship, and then switched to the Hangar Bay and other rooms where the unsuspecting Autobots and co. were moving about.
Bud hummed
happily as he walked to a large door inside a different sector of the
ship.
He entered a code into a small password bank, and the doors
opened.
In order to keep Bud at least a little happy, occupied,
and away from annoying others, he was given a garden area to raise,
keep, and protect. And although he was small, he had a lot of free
time on his hands, and so the garden was pretty large; it took up the
entire room, which was about the size of three quarters of the Main
room on Optimus's ship.
Bud entered the garden to see the large
areas of green surrounding one large tiled center with smaller paths
leading through the sea of plant-life. He then took a watering
can-device from the wall and filled it with water (that came from
nowhere, of course). He then cheerily went from plant to plant while
watering them.
Seeing as he was the leader of the Jungle Planet,
and he had an interest in plants, Scourge followed Bud, probably
enjoying watching the flowers give into the water and blossom as much
as the kid before him.
See, the plants had been purchased at
different planets, and most of these plants had "special
qualities". Most of them, if not all, had a consciousness, and even
talked to Bud. They helped Bud keep occupied.
After he had
finished watering the plants, Bud started a conversation with a
beautiful tree that had large red leaves, and another tree that was
incredibly young, for it had been planted recently, and that grew on
anything. They were Joan and Sam, respectively, as Joan was "female"
and Sam was "male".
He finished the conversation, Scourge
had noticed, and had begun to look around the ceiling of the ship,
which was also covered completely in a moss-type plant, the same type
of plant as Sam. Before Scourge could ask what it was, the ship
shuddered and the alarm went off.
They had been hit by something,
and were being sent from Earth's orbit into its atmosphere.

That is my first chapter, Yay! I'll try to work on both stories at once, so…yeah!
