The Nemesis: A strange day
NO POV
Megatron quietly tapped his pede on the cold metal floor, he was horribly bored. Everyone was busy doing something. Most were out on a mission, Emma was filling out data pads for Soundwave, and even Knockout was busy doing who knows what in that twisted med bay of his. He just couldn't stand it. He got up with a groan of discomfort from his tall throne and walked into the hall. He stood there deciding who to bother, and just started naturally walking towards his quarters. On the way, he passed Emma's office and stood in front of it. Pushing all of his usual stoniness away, he knocked.
Emma's POV
I heard a dull knocking at the door, set my current data pad down, and got up from my chair. I opened the door to a slightly shocking sight. "Lord Megatron sir, is there something wrong?"
"I would like to know where everyone is." He said in a too calm voice.
"Well, most of the troops are at the Energon mines, the only ones here are Soundwave, Knockout, and a few Eradicons sir." Then, cautiously, I cocked a thin eyebrow and asked, "Why, are you bored?" I kind of shrunk, so that if he does get angry at such a blunt comment I will be out of the way of his unpredictable temper.
To my surprise however, he laughed. Not his usual laugh though, it was almost warm and affectionate. "Yes I am; would you like to go to the training room with me?" he asked.
A little unsure at the warlord's sudden kindness, I silently nodded, and followed him towards the modified storage unit. He activated the sliding entrance and strolled in, still a little uneasy, I slowly walked in. Megatron made his way towards the sparing ring and hopped over the ropes. He looked at me and smirked. I took that as an invitation and ducked under the barrier. "You make the first move," He stated.
I removed my visor and unsheathed my twin swords with an audible sigh. 'Okay, I am fighting a former gladiator, nothing totally dangerous about that!' I thought sarcastically. I lunged at him with all my strength and swiped a single sword forward. He blocked my sword with ease and knocked me onto the ground. 'Slag,' I silently cursed, regretting the thought that he might, just maybe go easy on me. He chuckled and kicked me across the ring, causing me to completely lose all the air I had. Groaning, I shakily stood up my full height, which wasn't much compared to him. I repeated the lunge, and as I expected he blocked the sword. Using it as a distraction, I ducked under his massive arms and kicked his legs out from under him. He toppled over with an almighty thud. I placed a pede on his chassis and panted, "I (Pant) win." I jumped off him and clutched at my torso.
"You know, for a little one, you sure have some fight," he grunted as he got up.
Cheekily I added, "And don't you forget it." All of a sudden, an alarm loudly blared throughout the vast largeness that was the Nemesis.
What Megatron said made my Energon run cold. "Autobots."
