Chapter Six

Miko was awakened by a strange noise, a sort of grunt. She didn't know how long she had slept, but she felt rested. Se opened the eyes and rested her gaze on Optimus.

The big mech was awake, but it was obvious that he was not at all well. The teenager wasn't sure if Cybertronians needed to breathe, but the way Optimus' chest rose and fell remind Miko the one of a man who was struggling to introduce fresh air into the lungs.

"Optimus?" the Asian girl called him softly.

Prime seemed surprised to hear her voice. He turned his face towards her and tried to show off a smile which she returned immediately. But the tears Miko's eyes betrayed her real mood.

"Miko" Optimus' voice, usually deep and strong, was barely audible, another sign that the mech was not well "Don't cry. You are very strong, you can do it. You will go from here ... soon!" he used the singular. The human girl's cry became louder.

"And you're the strongest mech I've ever known and we'll go from there together!" said the girl standing up and beating her fists on the glass of the case.

Another smile appeared on the Prime's face, accompanied soon after by a loud cough. From the mouth of the large mech came out a small amount of energon.

"The situation is this, Miko. I am bound. I'm Injured and cannot walk. My energy levels are dropping fast. Megatron will never allow me to get out of here alive!" Miko then looked at his face and for a moment she recognized the strong and determined leader who he was "But you... you can do it. You'll find a way to get out of the casket. It has a cylindrical shape. If you will able to roll it, in the fall, it will break. The impact will not be pleasant, but you'll be fine".

Miko listened attentively.

"Now, Miko, begin to move to overthrow the cylinder" ordered the Autobot leader.

The girl nodded and began to slam with the shoulders against the walls. She made several attempts, but nothing happened "I can not do it!" she said frustrated.

"Miko, I'm your commander and I'm giving you an order: break- the- glass -case! Are you a wrecker or not?" Optimus' command tone seemed to have had its effect.

Miko started to slam against the walls untill the cylinder started moving and the overturned.

"Great ... now roll it to the edge and be ready for the impact!" ordered again Prime.

The girl obeyed. She could see the edge of the table closer and closer, and the fear was increasing. But it might be her only chance.

The sound of broking glass that broke the silence of the room.

"Miko?'Optimus asked worriedly. No answer. And so for a few seconds.

"Miko?" in the tone of the large mech there was despair.

"I'm fine, just a few scratches" Optimus turned his head and saw Miko near the his left arm on the berth. The girl was fine, she had only a few small cut on face and arms.

"Now you have to find a way to go away from here!"said firmly Prime.

"Not without you!" came the firm reply of the young man.

"Miko ..." tried to say Optimus.

"NO!" she cried "If there's one thing I've learned from you is that no one is left behind. I am an Autobot and will not leave you here!" the girl said as she hugged one of the Prime's healthy fingers

The mech smiled "I'm very proud of you!" Optimus started to say "But now...".

"But what a spark-warming scene!" their moment was interrupted by Megatron's deep voice.

The Decepticon leader was at the door of the med bay, behind him was Shockwave.

Miko didn't have time to do anything. Megatron grabbed the girl in his left hand and lifted her up in the air, starting to tighten the grip.

Miko felt a strong pressure on the entire body and was struggling to breathe.

"What do you say if we are going to do a little test?" The big gray mech gave a wicked smile to Prime, as he continued to increase the pressure of the grip. The girl was getting blue. She needed to breath. Now.

"Please Megatron stop this madness!" the desperate voice of the Autobot leader convinced the big gray mech to let her go.

"In a few moments, you'll beg me to kill you. I can assure you! " Megatron said as he placed Miko in another glass case.

Then he moved on, leaving the field open to Shockwave .

"Call me when you're exposed to the Matrix, but you have to record everything. I want to enjoy the show later" than added, before going out " And make sure that our human friend is not going to escape again!".

" As yo wish, my Liège!".

The purple mech took the glass case in his hands and hung it on a hook dangling it from the ceiling. Then he grabbed what looked like a blowtorch and got closer to Optimus.

He put the laser flame on Optimus' naked protoform, ust below the neck. Prime's eyes widened and he let out a loud groan of pain.

Sparks and energon started protruding from the frame of the Autobot leader.

Shockwave was slow in his work. He didn't make a deep incision and then descend quickly down Optimus's chest and abdomen . His hand lingered for a few minutes in the same spot . Prime refrained from screaming in pain all the time and when the big purple mech removed the flame from his protoform, the Autobot's frame visibly relaxed .

But Optimus didn't have time to recover. Shockwave resumed his meticulous work , always with a very slow pace, but this time without interruption. All the time the Decepticon scientist remained silent. The laser flame descended again and again on Optimus and penetrated more and more his protoform. Prim's groans of pain covered the sound of the tool in the hand of the purple mech. And as he went down towards the chest and upper abdomen, the cries of pain transformed into real screams.

Miko could no longer watch. She crouched and protected her ears with both hands in the hope of no longer hearing Optimus' desperate cries .

She only hoped at nightmare would end and someone would come to save them both. Or killed them both.

Please reviews... it' s mean a lot for me!
