Forgive me for my mistakes... and help me to fix it ;)
Chapter four
Miko was huddled in a corner of the large case when the heavy door opened with a loud rattling noise. The girl had slept little and poorly that night, but had cried a lot.
She hastily wiped her tears, she didn't want anyone to see the tears, especially his enemies.
Knockout approached the glass container, removed the cloth and lifted it from above the table, keeping it with both hands. He left the room and began to walk along the corridors of the ship.
"Where are we going?" he asked annoyed the young. She was trying to sound strong and brave.
"Megatron wants to be generous with you, little pet" then shrugged "I'm taking you to your dear friend Optimus!" replied the doctor.
A pleasant feeling filled Miko's heart. Optimus was alive, there was still hope.
But this good feeling disappeared as soon as they reached their destination.
The big room was dimly lit. Optimus was in the center, Starscream was in front of him. The Deceptcon flyer was holding an object from the tip of which flowed a strange blue beam.
"Oh my god ... Optimus ..." Miko's eyes widened and she put her hands over her mouth. A sudden feeling of nausea made her breathless.
Under the feet of the Autobot leader was a pool of blue liquid. Miko's gaze passed along the entire frame of the red and blue mech. Legs, abdomen and chest were still intact, she could seee a few scratches and dents. Only a deep wound to his right shoulder was still losing fluid. Optimus's face, however, was almost completely disfigured. His right antenna had been removed. And from there went down some energon. The lower lip was broken. The left eye was almost completely closed.
The girl watched the Prime with tears in her eyes. Optimus looked up and crossed his gaze with Miko's. He tried to hint of a smile, but a cough made him spit a bit of energon again from his mouth.
"M-Miko?" whispered the Autobot leader.
"I have not given you permission to speak!" Starscream shouted activating the device in his hands and placing it on chained mech's chest. The autobot was shaken by convulsions and let out grunts of pain.
"Stop! You'll kill him!" Miko shouted with all her voice as she violently kicked and beat her fists against the glass wall of the case.
Starscream withdrew the device and then he looked towards Knockout in disbelief. The two Decepticons erupted into a big laugh.
"It's our goal!" finally said the red doctor still laughing.
"SS-Starscream ..." Optimus' was barely audible. He couldn't even lift his head "Let her go... all this is not necessary ... a youngling should not attend to ..." but his words were replaced by a moan of pain and body convulsed again.
"Maybe I didn't ever said ii to you before, but I'm tired of your sermons, Prime!" the Deception SIC said as he continued to hit Optimus. He struck him with such intensity that the Autobot leader fainted.
"It seems that the fun is over for now!" Knockout said, shrugging his shoulders,"Let's go for some of high-grade, buddy!".
Starscream and Knockout went out, leaving Miko alone with Prime.
"Optimus! Optimus" but she received no response "Optimus ..." Miko stood with her hands and forehead against the glass, hot tears streaming down her cheeks "Optimus ... wake up ... please."
But he prayer went unanswered.
At the Autobot base
"Argh ... damn it!" Ratchet struck perhaps with a little too much violence the keyboard "I cannot figure their position".
All in the great hall were surprised by the doctor's reaction. Raf had tears in his eyes and Jack tried in every way to comfort him. Bumblbee was sitting with his back against the wall, while Arcee and Bulkhead exchanged a quick glance of understanding.
The Autobot femme approached the white and red mech and put a hand on his shoulder "Ratchet ... look at me" but the doctor looked away and closed his eyes "Look-at-me" Arcee repeated the invitation gently using a hand to turn his friend towards her "You'll make it. You'll find the location of the Nemesis and all together we'll at home Miko and Optimus. I trust you".
"I hope your trust is well placed" said the doctor gravely.
"I have no doubt!" repeated the purple and blue femme before patting Ratchet again in the shoulder and leaving him to his job.
In the Nemesis ' medbay
Megatron walked into the med bay of the warship and looked around. He didn't understand all the specific uses of the new equipment that had been installed at the request of his chief engineer , but he was happy and eager because, in a short time, he finally got his hands on the Matrix of Leadership. His further satisfaction would have been to kill his archenemy with his own hands. And once he eliminated Optimus would be a cakewalk destroy the Autobots and especially eliminate those pathetic , miserable, disgusting human beings.
"What can I do for you Lord Megatron?".
The big gray mech turned to the mech "Shockwave! How are going the preparations? " .
"We are keeping up with the roadmap and we are ready to start when you want to, my Liège" was the quick and precise response of the purple mech.
" Perfect! Knockout, bring here our guest! It's time to start the party".
It's a short chap but I need to be this way for this story... hope you enjoy it!
