WolfBane Ch. 2
A/N…(Hides behide a desk) I'm SSOOOO sorry. Two months. Wow, that sucks. I had school and family troubles. If I have any readers left, I'm so sorry, please don't kill me. On a lighter note my birthday is on Sunday, that's right on Easter. Plus it's my sweet 16.
Smokescreen painfully opened his optics, electric shocks still going through his frame. He looked around and found he was in a dark room, the only light hanging above him. His arms were tied above him, making Smokescreen arms start to cramp, and his feet were off the ground as well.
Smokescreen put his head down, trying to think when he heard a sound. Smokescreen looked up and was surprised to see Soundwave behind a panel, staring at him. He didn't even see Soundwave there earlier. "What are you looking at?" Was all Smokescreen could say before electricity went through his frame, making him scream.
After hours of Soundwave making him scream, Smokescreen's head was spinning. He was tired, and just wanted to fall into recharge. He looked up and saw Soundwave walk out of the room. Smokescreen smiled to himself and fell into a peaceful and painless darkest.
Smokescreen woke up screaming, his spark was in pain. The pain was like fire, spreading through his frame. He felt was if he was on fire, the air around him started to shimmer from the heat. He could feel something in his head and spark.
Smokescreen saw a forest burning, metal wolfs running from the fire. Two wolfs stopped and looked at him, one was yellow and black, with a large scar on his neck. The other was white, and blue with red stripes running down his head.
They raised heads and howled, a long sad note and the flames engulfed them.
Smokescreen woke hours later, his spark still hurt a little. He shook his head, "What was that?" He thought to himself. He looked around again; no one was in the room, but him.
/BREAKLINE/
Bumblebee just wanted to go into a peaceful recharge, but that will never happen. For one, the scout could not have a peaceful recharge because of memories of Tyger Pax, and memories of his youngling hood, but that's other story.
And the second reason he couldn't go into recharge, was he was leaking energon like crazy, and had the mad Decepticon leader making Bumblebee's life like the Pit. Bumblebee's frame was covered in cuts and dents. A small pool of energon was forming under the damaged scout.
An evil chuckle made Bumblebee snap out of his thoughts. He looked up into the dark optics of Megatron. "Still won't tell me, will you? I will ask you again. WHERE IS THE AUTOBOT BASE! WHAT DOES THE NEW RELIC DO!?" Megatron growled when Bee didn't answer his questions.
The evil mech walked around Bumblebee. The scout felt Megatron's hand grab one of his door wings. Bumblebee screamed in pain when Megatron ripped off a door wing. Energon flowed down the scouts back, wires and circuits exposed.
Megatron tossed the door wing, and smiled. The dark lord grabbed Bumblebee's small battle mask, and pulled. The small damaged scout started shaking. Horrible memories plaguing his mind. Megatron tossed the small battle mask by the scout's door wing, and laughed. Megatron grabbed Bee's chin and made him look into his dark red optics, "You should not wear the mask. The scar shows bots that you are nothing, a waste of scrap."
Bumblebee didn't say anything, he knew this game, they hurt you emotionally, and physically. They try everything to make you talk. Even if he wanted to Bee couldn't, Megatron didn't know this, but the small mask helped him make the beeps he used to talk. Without it, he was a mute. Hours of 'playing' with The Dark Lord, losing a door wing, and Megatron talking about Tyger Pax, all that didn't make Bee feel like scrap. Now Bumblebee felt he was nothing, without his voice no one would care about him. It happened before, it would happen again.
Megatron looked at the large scar on the scout's neck, Megatron did like his work. He released his prisoner's chin, and walked out of the prison cell, energon on his hands.
/BREAKLINE/
Knockout scanned the new relic that the Autobots found. His scan came up with nothing. The records had no information about this relic, just the coordinates to where it was found. Knockout sighed and silently wished Starscream was still here.
Knockout was a medic, and Starscream was a scientist. And the one thing they need is gone.
Great.
The noise from the door opening made Knockout jump a little. "Knockout, report." Knockout turned around and saw Megatron and Soundwave walk in. Knockout noted to himself that Megatron had energon on his hands.
"Nothing yet, my Lord." Megatron growled, "Soundwave help Knockout search the database." Soundwave nodded and walked over to the computer screen and started typing.
"My Lord, did the Autobot say anything about the relic?" Knockout asked. Megatron got a rag and cleaned the energon off his hands and growled, "That waste of scrap didn't say a word."
/BREAKLINE/
Knockout rolled around on his berth, the medic sighed. Recharge came hard for the medic.
'Energon was spilled on the frozen ground. The sky was grey with snow lightly coming down. He looked around and smelled energon. He looked around and a saw an injured yellow wolf with a large scar that was growling at him. He bared his teeth and growled back.
A shot rang out. The yellow wolf had a look of fear on his face, his chest slowly turned blue with energon. The other wolf collapsed and he slowly walked to the fallen wolf. He showed his teeth and grabbed the yellow wolf's scared throat and bit down.
The yellow wolf whimpered and slowly went limp. He let go of the wolf's throat and with energon on his muzzle, he howled. A long warning howl, warning anyone to challenge him.'
Knockout fell on his berth and looked around. His core temperature was high, not good. He shook his head and got up off the floor. Knockout walked fast to his lab and started scanning himself for viruses, nothing.
"That relic did something," he whispered to himself.
THREE DAYS LATER
Ratchet looked at the monitor, hoping to find the Nemesis's signal. Ratchet rubbed his optics, it's been three days since Bumblebee and Smokescreen went missing.
When they got Smokescreen's broadcast, it was too late. When the Autobots got to the forest, no one was there, but dead or dying vehicons. Ratchet eased their passing, he was a medic first, then a solider. They found a pool of energon, and yellow armor. Ratchet knew Bumblebee wasn't dead; there wasn't enough energon, or armor. There wasn't a sign of Smokescreen, no energon or anything.
The Autobots went back to their base; sadden by the thought of the two youngest members in the Con's hands.
Ratchet worried about Rafael, what would he say to the human? Raf was in Iowa, visiting family. The human hasn't been with the Autobots for several weeks, but was going to return within the week. Bee and Raf were close like brothers. When Rafael was hurt Bumblebee did every in his power to help him. Rafael will be the same no doubt.
Ratchet looked over at the Autobots and the humans. Bulkhead was pacing, Miko was sitting on the rail, looking grim. Acree was sitting on the ground hugging her knees, sadness in her optics. Jack was sitting by Miko; both humans looked the same, sad, and tired.
Optimus was in his room working, trying to keep his mind busy. Ratchet looked back at the monitor, typing here and there. Ratchet growled to himself, normally it would be easy to find the Nemesis, but the Con's had increased security.
Ratchet was worried about Smokescreen and Bumblebee. Megatron barely knew Smokescreen, but Megatron knew Bumblebee all to well. Ratchet was scared the dark Lord would want to finish want he started at Tyger Pax.
The old medic was scared he wouldn't be able to fix Bumblebee and Smokescreen.
Jack
"It's been three days." Jack thought to himself. The teenager could feel the anger and saddens in the room. Jack had seen the Autobots like this before when Optimus thought he was Orion Pax. Wanting to do something, but couldn't do a thing about it.
