The Birth Of Megonimus Prime Chapter 4
The three could only stare out the window, knowing that Earth was going to be destroyed soon.
"How are we going to live? We can't survive out here." Miko said sadly.
"At least we have our Autobot friends to help us." Jack said quietly.
"I know; I feel like there must be something we can do to save our planet." Raf said sadly.
"Me too, but you know if there was a way the Autobots would have done it. They love our planet almost as much as we do. We should be happy they saved our lives." Miko replied sadly.
"Yes, we do love Earth. We are sorry that it had to be this way." Optimus said sadly, walking in and seeing the young ones looking upset. Jack was the one who was trying to hide his pain the most.
"Jack?"
"I'm fine, Optimus. Really."
"You do not appear fine." Optimus responded sadly.
"Trust me. I had no one left one Earth anyway, so no one would miss me, I'm sure." He said quickly. He then got up and walked out of the room. Optimus sighed softly and got up to find the young man. He turned the corner just in time to see Jack sadly wiping tears from his eyes. The truth was that his mother was gone and he felt like he was truly alone now. On Earth, he at least felt like he had one or two friends to call his own. He never felt that close to Miko or Raf so he truly felt alone.
"Jack." A deep voice cooed from the darkness. He turned quickly and saw Optimus walk into view. "You are hurting."
"I'm fine, Optimus! I promise." He said, trying to still be respectful, but he was becoming frustrated.
"You are not fine, Jack. I know that you had no more family on Earth." Optimus replied.
"But…,"
"Stop right there. I know that you feel alone, but you are not alone. We are here for you." Optimus replied, now picking him up and holding him to his chest.
"O-Optimus!" Jack protested, trying to get down, but the titan held him in a firmer grip.
"You don't need to be afraid of showing your emotions. Jack."
"But I told you that I was okay!" He protested!
"He's not alright…," a deep voice responded. Both of them turned and saw the large Megonimus Prime walk into the room; he stared at the new beings with curiosity. Jack let out a shout and tried to squirm from Optimus' grip, but the large commander held him to his chest.
"Jack, it's alright. Calm down, young one."
"Optimus, there's a monster in here!"
"What is a monster?" Megonimus asked, now looking at the human. At that moment, Miko and Raf came in. Megonimus turned and knelt down near them. "So these are what you all call humans?"
Miko belted out the longest and loudest scream known to man and she turned and ran out. Raf quickly followed as well!
"Wait, come back!" Megonimus called, now transforming into his dragon mode and chasing after them.
"They'll be eaten!" Jack panicked, now jumping out of Optimus' loose grip and onto his berth. He then slid down and ran out the door! "I'm outta here!"
"Jack, come back here!" Optimus ordered, now chasing after him. Now all of the kids were on the run!
"He's gonna eat us!" Raf squawked.
"I know! Keep running!" Miko panted out. She ran past Bulkhead and some other Autobots but they weren't going to be getting out the base soon!
"Miko! Where're you going?" Bulkhead said in surprise. He then saw the large dragon-like Predacon chasing them and chuckled.
"Oh, I see they've met Megonimus."
"And it appears the meeting didn't go well." Ratchet replied with amusement. They then heard a scream and saw Jack run past, trying to find a way out. He too was terrified for himself and his friends now that he saw the new Predacon beast.
"What's going on?" Arcee asked, now walking in after hearing the yelling. She jumped when Optimus almost ran into her, but he stopped short.
"The humans have met Megonimus and now I fear they are beyond terrified." Optimus replied, rubbing a hand down his face.
"Perhaps, I can help you find them." Megatron replied, now standing from his place. "I saw the one you call 'Jack' go that way."
Everyone was stunned that Megatron was willing to assist. It was known that the former warlord didn't have much to say or do with the Autobots. No one trusted the Decepticons and the Decepticons did not trust the Autobots. Primus knew about this and that is why he sent Megonimus Prime. By creating a being that was neither Autobot nor Decepticon, both sides would have to work together to teach the new recruit.
Optimus turned to Megatron and nodded slowly. He then walked forward and looked at the titan in the eye.
"Are you willing to join us now, Megatron?"
"No, Prime; I am only assisting in this manner."
Optimus nodded and then ran off to find the children. It only took him a few minutes to find them trying to get into the escape pod.
"Stop! Come back here!" He said, now running to the escape hatch and putting his hand inside.
"AH!" Miko screamed in pure shock, but Optimus grabbed them gently.
"Now calm down there, Miko; it's only me. Now you three, you do not need to be afraid." He said, now gently cupping them in his hands.
"Who was that?!" Jack said in shock.
"He's gonna kill us! He's a Predacon!" Raf panicked.
"Now now calm down, you three. He's an ally. His name is Megonimus Prime and he was created to help us battle Unicron." Optimus replied, now gently holding them closer to his spark. The three of them could only stare in pure shock as the titan stood up and held them to him as he took them back into the base. There was silence until the large Predacon-like Autobot came around the corner in his dragon form.
"May I greet the young humans now?" He asked, now coming closer and gently sniffing at Optimus' hands and making them all duck down! "Do not fear me; I only want to meet you." He chuckled now gently licking them and making them all laugh.
"S-Stahahahahahahahap!" Raf laughed.
"C-Cut it out!" Jack begged.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PLEAHAHAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Miko begged, now trying to get out of Optimus' hands.
"You are not going to get away from me you all," he chuckled. Finally, he stopped licking them and Optimus set them down on the ground.
"Nice to meet you," Jack grinned. "So you're going to help us destroy Unicron once and for all?"
"Well, I will definitely do my best. But the plan will be more….extreme as you humans call it."
"Extreme?" Miko asked.
"Yes. I will have to go down to the core of the Earth myself and I will destroy Unicron." Megonimus replied.
"You cannot do that…you will be destroyed. Why was I not informed of this plan of yours?" Optimus said in an annoyed manner.
"Because I knew that you would find out sooner or later. I was created to serve and this is my purpose." He said, now turning as Megatron walked in the room.
"It is getting late. I am glad the situation was resolved."
"Not quite. The humans' quarters are not ready yet so they will be staying in your room for the night, Megatron." Optimus grinned.
"WHAT?!" All of them said at once. It was going to be a long night!
