AH! Finally! *ahem* Well, sorry to keep you guys waiting for so long, I've been really busy!
So here's Chapter 6 for ya.
Enjoy! Transformers does not belong to me.
It seemed like Destiny barely slept, she probably got a few recharge hours in before she would hear footsteps. She would jump awake, afraid that it may have been Galvatron or Mega-Octane, but would sigh in relief when she found out that it was just Movor pacing back on forth. The shuttle Decepticon refused to talk to her or even communicate in general. She would try to at least start a conversation, but it would always end quickly when he snapped at her and told her to leave him alone. Seeing as the mech had absolutely no interest in her, Destiny decided lean against the back wall away from the door. She wasn't comfortable at all in the tiny cell, there wasn't a lot of room to really move around but she managed to walk around a little. She glanced to the broken pieces of her mask and sighed quietly. Mega-Octane was about to take the advantage over her until Scourge arrived in the nick of time to save her. The only thing she really lost was her mask and for that she was relieved.
"Mech... there's no room in here to really stretch you know?" She said, hoping she would get a response out of the arrogant Decepticon.
"Well, sucks to be you." Movor said, bluntly.
"You are such a party crasher!" Destiny said, crossing her arms in the dark cell.
"So? I don't care about what happens to you. Now shut up and leave me alone." Destiny sighed in frustration. She was going to get him to talk for more than two sentences in a conversation. She had nothing better to do really and she did admit that picking on him was fun. She stayed quiet for a few more minutes, before some heavy footsteps were heard coming towards their area. Destiny waited for a little bit to hope it was just some random Predacon, but her hopes ran short.
"How's our little prisoner doing?" asked a voice that made her freeze with horror.
"Well... So far so good..." Movor answered, a little unsure.
"If you don't mind... I would like to have a word with her." Galvatron asked.
Destiny shivered a little, he was going to try and persuade her to join him. She didn't like him at all, for the most part, he literally creeped her out. She found out that yesterday he was nothing but a pervert out to get her, to make her become his. She shivered again at the thought of it. The passcode was being typed in and she took a defensive stance, she wasn't going to give in without a fight. Seconds later, the door opened and there he stood, the same lustful look he had when he looked her over the first time. The only difference was that she didn't have her mask, that seemed to increase the look in the Predacon leaders' optics. He walked in a few steps and she immediately backed away until she pressed her back to the wall. She glared at him with hate full in her optics, she truly didn't like him.
"Perhaps we met the wrong way..." Galvatron said, slyly.
"I know what you want... and I'm still refusing you!" Destiny snapped.
"But look to the bright side! I can see you're strong... and to get stronger you must join forces with me." He held his hand out to her. "Do you care to change your mind?"
"No!" She stood against the wall, refusing to look to his hand.
"I'm a little disappointed to hear you say that..." Galvatron frowned and lowered his hand to his side. "But..." He again scanned her figure over.
Destiny pressed further into the wall as Galvatron again barricaded her in with his hands pressed to the wall as well. She wasn't sure if he was trying an advance or just waiting for the right moment to strike. Destiny kept her defense up just in case he tried something funny. He merely had a smug look with a dark smirk.
"You should know... I don't give up unless I get what I want. And I want you..." Each word made her cringe mentally. She fought back a shiver, when he said the words 'I want you'. Destiny wasn't about to give in to him. She would escape some way and some how.
"...Keep dreaming you overgrown bat! I won't let you have me! I'd rather rust away then be with you!" She snapped at him.
"Fiesty are we? This makes you a even more desirable prize to win." He stroked her cheek with one finger, to which she slapped away. "I like the fiesty ones."
"Get the frag away from me!" Destiny snapped, again slapping away his hand. She was going to have to slap hard like she did yesterday, she went to slap him but this time he caught her wrist, stopping the small attack.
"Ah ah ah... I don't think so.. not this time." Galvatron said, leaning in towards her face. She quickly pulled her head away from his incoming advance, to which she quickly regretted. She shivered, feeling his rough breathing on her neck. She was starting to panic again, she had to think of something fast. Destiny also felt one of his fingers trail down her torso, to which she flinched. Then an idea came to her mind and she decided to use it. As soon as Galvatron lifted his head away from her neck, she threw an upward fist and connected with his bottom jaw. As a result, he stumbled backwards getting away from the femme, who was now on the defence.
"You'll regret doing that soon enough... I will make sure of it!" With that said, Galvatron stomped out of the room with the door closing behind him. He then snapped at Movor, who was currently awaking from recharge. "You better guard this cell!" And then the Predacon leader stomped off out of the area.
Destiny was again relieved to be left alone by him for awhile, but then she heard Movor walk to the cell but he didn't look in.
"Geez! What did you do to make him upset like that!?" Movor asked.
"I have my reasons! Why would YOU be interested anyways!?" Destiny said back.
"You have a point. I don't want to know." Movor said, sitting back down on something.
"So... you didn't hear the conversation we had earlier..." Destiny said.
"Conversation?" Movor asked, sounding a bit surprised.
"Uh yeah. What were you asleep or something?" Destiny asked. 'Finally! I might get a conversation out of this sour bot!'
"That's none of your business!" Movor snapped.
"Okay fine... I'll leave it at that." She said, laying down on the berth. It was quiet for a few minutes, Destiny wasn't sure if she say something to bug him or just stay quiet. She looked to the ceiling of the dark cell and wondered how she was going to escape.
"...So... What was the conversation about?" Movor asked out of the blue.
'Wow, this is new.' Destiny thought sitting up slightly. "You're still interested?"
"It won't stop bugging me until I know the whole story here." Movor said.
"Okay fine. I'll tell you." She said. Destiny explained the whole story to Movor, through the door, seeing as he wouldn't even bother to look into the cell. She finished telling him and sat back waiting for his response.
"That's something you don't hear about everyday... But why on Cybertron would he want you? You're just an annoying femme!" Movor said.
"How should I know? I don't like him period! He's creepy!" Destiny snapped.
"Hmm..." She heard Movor stand and walk to the cell. And to her surprise, he actually looked in for once to see her. Then he snorted and stepped away from sight.
"What!?" Destiny asked.
"I don't see what's so pretty about you. You're just another femme to me." Movor said, snorting again. "And for the record I really don't like you."
"Look here you over grown tin can! I don't want anything to do with your leader!" Destiny snapped, standing from the berth. "I don't like you either!"
"Like I care. He's your problem not mine." Movor said.
"You're pretty sad as a warrior you know! I bet you can't fight without being threatened by your leader!" Destiny said, knowing that this would get a reaction. "You're a poor excuse for a fighter!"
"You better watch what you say, femme! or you'll regret it!" Movor growled.
"Oh really? That I'd love to see!" Destiny said in a sarcastic tone.
"Why you little-!" Movor started to say.
"What's the matter with you Movor? Don't argue with femme, it's pathetic." Said another voice.
"If you would have know what she's saying Armorhide, you'd be just as ready as I am to tear her apart!" Movor snapped.
"You are actually letting a femme get under your armor? That's ridiculous!" Said Armorhide.
Destiny came up with another idea, she knew that Armorhide wouldn't be able to resist the urge to open the door and try to kill her as well. She smirked knowing that this would work perfectly.
"You know what? I bet you're no different, Armorhide! You're probably just as a much of a poor excuse as he is!"
"What did you just say!?" growled Armorhide. It was working.
"I said, you're nothing but a weak warrior that probably can't shoot even if the target is just standing there right in front of him!" She said, smirking.
"You're really asking for an aft kicking femme!" Armorhide snarled. "I'll tear you apart! So don't test me!"
"Oh really? I bet you couldn't even do it if you wanted to!" She said.
"Okay that's it! I'm going to murder you!" Armorhide snarled. But he was stopped by Movor.
"Now wait a minute! Do you have any idea of how much trouble we'll be in if you open that door? Armorhide, she's messing with us!" Movor said, trying to reason with his comrade. "Scourge will have our heads!"
"But she's asking for it! Oh! Just let me at her! I'll show her that I'm no weakling!" Armorhide growled.
"No! If Scourge gets in trouble for our actions, he'll come after us!" Movor said, struggling to keep Armorhide from reaching the panel. Destiny knew her plan was working perfectly, when Armorhide opens the door she would make a run for it.
"Grr!" Armorhide sounded like he might be backing down. Movor released him and backed away.
'No! I have to make him unlock the cell!' Destiny thought. "What? You're soo scared of your leader that you won't fight! That's pretty lame!"
"THAT'S IT!! I don't care if we get in trouble, I'm teaching her a lesson!" Armorhide snarled, pressing the buttons to the panel. Destiny prepared to fight him first. The door slid open and a very angry Armorhide charged in at her, she smirked and dodged his punch. When he passed her by, she kicked him so he would hit the wall. And he hit it head first, making him groan in pain. She ran out of the cell to encounter Movor, who was surprised greatly by this. She dodged one of his punches and rammed him into another wall, almost knocking him out. Not taking any other chances with the two Decepticons, she ran down the dark hallway. She may have gotten out of the cell but that didn't stop anyone in the base from capturing her again, Destiny really didn't want to be captured with fear of what Galvatron might do to her. She stopped coming to another hallway that she had no idea where it lead, but she took it after hearing the running footsteps of Movor and Armorhide.
"ALERT! THE PRISONER IS ESCAPING!!" She heard Movor yell. That only made her quicken her pace, she would have no time to dwindle on her thoughts. She needed to get out fast. Being further down the hallway, she heard Galvatron roar in fury. That scared her, she knew he could get deadly if angry enough. She didn't want to think about what would happen if he caught her. Destiny knew everyone of the Predacons would hunt her down, as well as the Decepticons. She didn't even want to run into Mega-Octane, fearing of what he might do to her. She came to another unknown hallway that had three different paths, she was completely lost. She didn't know which way to take, but a sudden voice made her jump.
"Do you really think that I'll let you escape?" Galvatron said, coldly.
"I'm not staying here with the likes of you!" Destiny snapped, spinning around to see him.
"Oh you're staying here whether you like it or not!" Then his body shifted, transforming him into a twin headed dragon. "Twin Dragon Breath!"
Destiny ran down the hallway in front of her, to avoid the fire he blew out. She took off fast, hoping she wouldn't run into any of the Decepticons. The Predacons she could handle, they seemed to be a little to easy to take down. The Decepticons were much more violent, one other reason for Destiny to avoid them. Turning a sharp corner, she rounded to her right running down the narrow hallway. She stopped to think of how to escape this base of horrors, before she even had time to move her feet again, someone came up behind her and grabbed her. She went to scream but her captor covered her mouth before she could make the noise. Panicking, she tried to break free.
"Ssh! Look I'm not trying to keep you here!" Whispered a voice. "But you seem to be quite the fighter like a certain femme I used to know..."
Destiny paused, it must have been a Predacon by the way his tone sounded. But there was something different about this Predacon then the rest, something she could almost relate to. The mysterious Predacon looked around before letting her go. Before she even had time to ask anything, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down the hallway. She tried to get free, fearing that he would take her to Galvatron but instead he did just the opposite. He stopped short, kicking in a spot on the wall, opening a secret passage. Then he shoved the young femme into the passage lightly, she turned to him with a confused look. Why was he helping her? This Predacon was her exact size and he had claws and ears of a cat. He did have a long scar run down his face. He smiled and closed the passage, leaving Destiny in pure darkness. Even though she had night visor programmed into her optics, it was difficult to see down the hallway. She walked forward, her hands in front of her in attempt to find her way out which she found difficult. She wasn't fond of being in the dark, but if it meant getting out then she would take her chances. As she went further in, she noticed that the floor was beginning to tilt upward. She then began climbing up trying to find a way out, but with the passage becoming a little more narrow, she found this as an advantage. Slipping once in awhile, Destiny struggled upward reaching a spot where it looked like a fragile wall. At first she thought this was some sort of prank the Predacon pulled on her, she pushed on the wall hoping it would give out. But instead she went right through it, like it wasn't even there. She squeaked falling out and landing on her rear. She made a face sitting up, the Predacon did help her. She gasped in shock, realizing that she was on the outside of the base. She, in her mind, thanked the mysterious Predacon, and ran away from the base. But not without getting showered by gunfire. There were a few Predacons firing at the escaping prisoner, and Scourge was also firing. She barely dodged the missiles as they went zooming past her. But then a missile hit her in the leg, causing her to topple over in pain. Scourge, after seeing the missile hit her leg, found his spark aching in pain. Touching his chestplate in confusement, he looked back to see the femme back on her feet but with a limp. He couldn't understand why his spark acted the way it did. He took aim at the femme, hoping to shoot her and maybe bring her down. But for some unknown reason, he couldn't pull the trigger. His hands shook from holding the gun and trying to pull the trigger. But Destiny disappeared around the corner, making Scourge lower his weapon.
"Scourge! Why didn't you shoot her!?" Galvatron barked out.
"I'm not sure sir... My systems must be malfunctioning." Scourge replied.
"That could be possible... get them checked out." Galvatron said, stomping away to his throne room.
"What is wrong with me?" Scourge murmured, heading off to the repair room.
Meanwhile, Destiny was limping badly. The missile did some damage, and it was causing her all sorts of pain. It was sparking and leaking with Energon. She had fallen to her knees several times because her injury would cause her leg to stop functioning for a couple of seconds. She had to bite back several screams, when pain shot through her systems. Before she knew it, her side injury began acting up. It, like her leg wound, was sparking badly. The amount of pain she recieved was a bit unbearable, she gasped leaning into a building waiting for her side to stop sparking. She pressed a hand to her side in a bit of an angry gesture, to surpress the pain a bit more. After letting the sparking calm down, she limped quickly away from the building in fear that the Predacons would find her and capture her again. She didn't even want to think of what Galvatron would have in mind for her. Breaking into a run after hearing gunfire, Destiny tryed to outrun whatever would be firing the gunshots. She didn't even notice the break in the ground, she tripped sending herself down a hidden cavern. Hitting the ground roughly, Destiny groaned, finding it difficult to move her leg without having pain shooting through it. She leaned back, hiding herself even more into the shadows. She was completely covered in the dark shadows. She felt scared and lost, it was a feeling that she did not like. Her injurys caused her to run and hide and pray that one of her fellow Autobot companions would find her. She flinched at the sound of missiles exploding above her, but she was glad to be in hiding. She pulled her legs up to her chest and buried her face in them. She offlined her optics to let herself think. She had to get back to the base somehow, Destiny wanted to see Optimus and everyone again. A few hours passed and she was still in hiding. Destiny knew she would have to move soon, for fear of the Predacons or Decepticons finding her. She sighed quietly. But then a hand touched her shoulder, causing her to online her optics and flinch away from the touch. But quickly she became happy and relieved.
"S...Sideburn!" Destiny cried, throwing herself at the bot. She hugged him tightly.
"Destiny! I-It's actually you! I was so worried that I thought they killed you..." Sideburn said, returning the hug. "It's good to see you again...!"
"Sideburn... Sideburn, I really missed you guys!" Destiny cried. Tears seemed to pour down her face, she was happy to see another Autobot. Sideburn was relieved to find Destiny, though he wasn't too please about her injuries. Then the sudden flutter came back to his spark, to which he tried to shrug it off.
"Destiny.... I think we should get out of here before the Predacons show up." Sideburn said, pulling Destiny to where he could see her. Destiny nodded, letting Sideburn stand up. The moment she tried to stand, the pain in her leg and side came back, causing her fall back to the ground. Sideburn quickly helped her to her feet, letting her lean against the wall for support. She smiled weakly. Destiny whimpered slightly as her leg sparked up again, Sideburn was holding her up. Sideburn had a determined look on his face, he was going to get her back to base somehow. Then he moved in front of her and kneeled down so his back was to her. A look of confusement crossed her face as she looked down at him.
'What is he doing?' She thought. "Sideburn...?"
"I'll... carry you back." Sideburn said bluntly. "J-Just get onto my back."
"You sure?" Destiny was a bit surprised by his offer, he nodded. "Okay..." She leaned away from the wall and wrapped her arms around Sideburn's neck, not noticing his sudden blush. He quickly pulled his emotions together and wrapped his arms around her legs as he stood up with her on his back. Destiny truly was surprised at getting a piggy-back ride from Sideburn. Destiny pulled herself a little closer to Sideburn so it would be a little easier on his back. Sideburn checked to make sure she was comfortable before taking off to the base. He walked along the dark shadows of cavern, keeping them both hidden. She was glad to have a friend like Sideburn, who at moment was checking out the area for Predacons. The another shower of missiles exploded causing them both to jump. Destiny froze with Sideburn stopping in his tracks, a voice boomed out loudly.
"Where is that Autobot!?" shouted the voice. This made Destiny draw herself closer to Sideburn, almost hiding her face into his neck. Galvatron had entered out into the battlefield, no doubt looking for her.
"Easy Destiny.... I'll get us out of here I promise." Sideburn whispered to Destiny.
"Okay... I trust you." Destiny whispered back. "I really don't want to go back to that base..."
"I know... Did they do anything to you? You can tell me." Sideburn whispered, keeping his voice low whenever he heard Galvatron roar.
"W-Well.... Okay I'll tell you everything that happened, but promise me that you'll let me tell Optimus." Destiny whispered back. Sideburn nodded and Destiny explained everything that happened while she was held captive. She told him about Galvatron's offer and his want of her, as well as Mega-Octane's gestures. She even told him about Scourge and how he came to her rescue when she thought Mega-Octane would take advantage of her. The mysterious Predacon seemed to interest Sideburn, why would the enemy help out a captive?
"Destiny... I will do everything I can to keep you safe from Galvatron!" Sideburn said, keeping his voice low. "I won't let him get his dirty hands on you!"
"Thanks Sideburn... but I have a favor to ask..." Destiny said, quietly.
"Hm?"
"Don't tell Optimus about that Predacon... I want to keep that between you, me and him... Because it looked like he was already attacked by Galvatron... the scar seemed to prove that... I don't want to get him trouble for helping me." Destiny looked to Sideburn to see his face content. He smiled at her and nodded.
"You've got my word on it. I won't tell a soul. I just find that interesting to why a Predacon would help an Autobot." Sideburn said, reaching a corner of the cavern.
"Me too... That's what got me confused..." Destiny yawned after finishing her sentence. Sideburn chuckled softly.
"Get some recharge, I'll wake you when we reach the base." Sideburn said, reasuringly. "It looks like you might need it."
"Good idea... I trust you Sideburn... I really do." With that she fell into recharge, still keeping her arms around Sideburn's neck. Sideburn smiled, feeling his spark soften. It still did a couple of flutters, whenever he talked to her or he thought about her. He couldn't really determine what the feeling was, but he was going to get back to the base one way or another. With Destiny safe, everyone wouldn't worry anymore. Sideburn was already determined to protect her, hearing the whole story, he wasn't going to let Galvatron get his hands on her. He merely traveled in the shadows to avoid Predacons that seemed to be showing up even more. He was indeed taking a long way back to the base, but he had no other choice. He was going to keep her safe, one way or another.
Okay! There you have it. I'll try to update when I can I promise you guys!
Reveiw please. Thank you!
