The room became silent as Ravage entered. The sound of water dripping to the floor was the only sound. Megatron turned to look at the panther, his red eyes brightened with anger, he didn't even notice the human in Ravage's jaws.
"Ravage, you are not supposed to be here, you're supposed to keep track where those foolish Autobots are. You dare to disobey my command?" he asked in a low growl that had Ty quivering in the inside. Ravage set his bundle on the ground, placing a paw on his prey to stop him from getting away.
"My apologies, Master. But I bring you something you will want to see" nodding down at the human at his feet. "He smells of the Autobots and that boy" snarled Ravage nodding to Sam. Sam looked over and quit struggling when he saw Tyrell.
Sam saw the fear in Ty's eyes as Megatron shifted to get a better look at him. He saw a tremor run through Ty body, making his brother clutch his hands into fists. It was then that Sam realized that this was all his fault, if he had just listened to Optimus and Tyrell, none of this would be happening.
Megatron focused on the wet bundle of filth that Ravage had brought to him. Tyrell raised his head and looked into the eyes of the Decepticon Lord. Genuine surprise flashed in his optics before a mad gleam filled them.
"Look who came to his brother's aid. I thought for sure that I had killed you boy, I am most curious of how you survived" He reached down and picked Ty up, squeezing him. "This brings back lovely memories, this is the same position you were in before I threw you from that building." The memory of the dream from last night flashed before Ty's eyes. He fought to loosen the grip that surrounded him; a strange hissing filled the air. He glanced around, Starscream was leering at him, the hissing came from him. Next to Starscream, on the second floor gazing down at them horrified was Mikaela and another boy.
"Zhis boy is related to zhe specimen?" the accented voice came again.
Megatron turned his optics to the source of the voice, "Yes, his spark brother"
"Zhen put him on zhe table" commanded the voice.
Megatron grinned and opened his hands, Ty fell through the air landing heavily on his back knocking all the air out of his lungs, he had landed next to Sam. Megatron soon had Tyrell pinned down with his left claw. Ty looked over into his brothers eyes, seeing the hopelessness. It broke Ty's heart to see Sam look so defeated, he wanted nothing else but to tell him that the Autobot's were on their way.
He jumped when he felt something beginning to crawl over his chest. A mech appeared next to his face looking like a crab, with a pair of glasses. His reddish orangish eyes studied peered through the glasses, studying Ty's face. He made a clicking sound and moved closer to a clearer look.
"Zhere is something different about zhis boy" he murmured.
Megatron chuckled, "He's not a babbling weakling like his brother, he's considered a warrior by his race."
The crab mech snorted, "Zhis race will be easy to conquer if zhis passes for a warrior"
"Indeed, Scalpel, now proceed. The Fallen is growing impatient"
"As you wish Master" Scalpel climbed onto the ground and picked up a worm looking mech from off the ground. He crawled back up onto Tyrell's chest, "Don't worry human, zhis will only hurt a lot"
"What are you doarchhh" demanded Tyrell as Scalpel painfully grabbed his mouth and pulled it wide. The worm mech crawled into his mouth, Tyrell began to gag, straining against Megatron. Tenticles, appeared out of his nose. He could feel it tunneling in his head until it reach his brain. He tensed as it finally crawled out, Scalpel grabbed it immediately. The crab mech plugged it into his chest.
The symbols and the glyphs he had seen appeared in the air, along with the memory of the voice. Remember the Fallen. Between the glyphs pictures of Tyrells life appeared. The face of Dials and of Barricade, Optimus, Lennox, and even Ratchet. Tyrell could barely watch as he breathed, trying to stop heaving.
"How interesting," murmured Megatron, "This insect has more information in his head than the other one."
"We must have their brains on zhe table" demand Scalpel interrupting Megatron's thoughts.
Tyrell glared at Megatron, "What does he mean my brain?"
'You have something on you mind, something I need" said Megatron in a sinister voice "Are you going to beg for your life as well?"
"Fuck you" he whispered.
Megatron chuckled, as Scalpel leaned over Sam's face a tiny saw in his hand.
"No, no, no" whimpered Sam.
Suddenly the roof of the warehouse caved in as Optimus Prime crashed through. Bumblebee came crashing through the side at the same time and began to exchange fire with Starscream. Megatron without thinking released Tyrell and Sam. Tyrell jumped to his feet pulling Sam up with him.
"Run Sam" he yelled pushing him ahead of him; ricochets from the stray gunfire hit the walls on either side of them. All around stray plasma fire exploded. Tyrell managed to pull an arm up just in time as shrapnel from the wall flew at them, imbedding in his arm. He managed to catch a glimpse of Mikaela and the other boy escaping out the side, a metal tool box clutched in her hands. He pulled Sam through a hole the wall which lead them outside.
"Sam, Tyrell" called Optimus as he stepped outside the warehouse to. He transformed down and opened the door. Tyrell pushed Sam up pushed him over as he entered.
"Tyrell" Sam began as Optimus slammed the door and began to drive.
"Shut it Sam" snapped Tyrell, he didn't want to hear his brother's excuses. He glanced through the back window. "Optimus?"
"I won't be able to outrun him for long. The best I can do is exit the city to minimize causalities. Be prepared to exit immediately."
Tyrell nodded, they went speeding through back roads, turning off into the forest.
"Get ready here he comes" ordered Optimus.
"Sam get closer to the door, and get ready to jump" ordered Tyrell.
"Now" called out Optimus flinging open his door. Tyrell grabbed Sam.
"Tuck and roll" shouted Tyrell as he pulled Sam out with him. They both hit the ground hard, the air getting knocked out of them. As they stopped rolling, Ty heard the tell-tale sign of Optimus transforming., a shot rang out as Megatron fired before transforming into bi-pedal form
"Hide Sam, Tyrell" Optimus yelled as he began to duel Megatron. He managed to get the first punch in, jumping up as Megatron tackled him, causing both of them to fall to the ground. Tyrell ran with Sam through the dirt and smoke, hiding behind a tree they watched.
"Weak" muttered Optimus slamming a tree on top of Megatron. The tree fell in front of the brothers showering them in dirt. Again Optimus punched Megarton in the face and then the back. "Puny!" "Waste of metal" Optimus slammed Megatron to the ground, drawling his energon swords as Megarton rolled to his feet. Prime caught the 'Con Lord with his sword through the shoulder "Junkyard Crap!" He slammed him up and then back to the ground
Tyrell grabbed Sam by the arm and dragged him towards the trees as the two mech's fight got closer to them.
"Decepticons" yelled Megatron. The sounds of engines filled the air, two seekers and a helicopter landed, all ready to help Megatron. One of the seekers landed next to the Witwicky's, it was Starscream.
"Come here, boys!" he hissed.
"Fucking run Sam" yelled Tyrell taking off with Sam behind him, Starscream began to run after them. Megatron stopped his fighting as he saw the boys run past him and began to give chase. Optimus launched himself through the trees landing on Megatron and Starscream cutting him off from getting the boys. Suddenly it was two to one as Optimus took on Megatron and Screamer at the same time. Bullets rained down around them. A bullet from Screamer's gun hit behind Sam causing him to fly through the air.
"Sam!"
"I'm alright Ty" managed Sam as Ty hauled him to his feet.
Ty turned to look at the fight and managed to see Optimus kick Screamer in the face just in time.
"Get down," hissed Sam at Ty throwing himself behind a fallen tree.
"There is another source of Energon hidden on this planet, the boys can lead us to it" snarled Megatron as he knocked Optimus down and smashed him in the face with his foot. Ty watched as energon arched from the wound.
"Optimus" cried out Sam standing up, Ty grabbed him and covered his mouth.
"Are you trying to get us killed" he whispered.
"No you are, move!" yelled Sam running. Ty whipped his head around to see Optimus get hit with Megatron's plasma cannon, sending him flying through the air. Ty ran after Sam, but wasn't fast enough to make it to a safe place before Optimus fell. Ty couldn't get out of the way fast enough as a tree landed on him, pinning him to the ground by the right leg. His scream of agony was not heard as Optimus crashed to the ground. Dirt flying everywhere as Optimus landed right next to Sam, he spit out part of his jaw. Megatron approached clenching his claws together.
"Is the future of our race not worth a two human lives?"
"Up get up" called Sam to Optimus not noticing Ty in trouble.
Optimus got up on one knee, battle mask sliding into place. "You'll never stop at one, I'll take you all on." He drew out his engergon sword and hook and he attacked. It was amazing to watch as he sliced at the Decepticons, taking off the helicopters propellers and his arm. He slammed Starscream and Megatron to the ground. Flipping over Starscream he wailed on Megatron stabbing him through the shoulder, before turning back on Starscream. He grabbed an arm and chopped it off.
"My arm" wailed Starscream, Optimus silenced him by bitch slapping Starscream twice with his own arm before he caught sight of the helicopter sneaking through the trees. He jumped onto the large mech replacing his sword for another hook. He sunk his hooks on either side of the mechs face and pulled. Ripping his whole face off. He stood triumphant on top of the mech holding the two pieces of face before he jumped off. Sam took that moment to run over to Tyrell, having noticed that he was trapped under a tree.
"Piece of tin" Optimus mutted using a claw to drag the body down. He looked around kneeling next to a tree.
"Sam, Ty where are you?" He called. Ty was about to answer as Sam tried to help him free the leg when a sword appeared out of Optimus's chest.
"No!" howled Optimus trying to pull himself of the spike.
"You're so weak" laughed Megatron as he fired his plasma cannon through Optimus's body, blowing out his spark. For a moment that seemed like an eternity, Optimus stood were Megatron pulled his sword out, before he fell like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
He bounced once before he laid still, his blue optics searching until they found the two humans,
"Sam,Ty, run, run.." he whispered chest heaving until he became still. Optimus optics sparked once more before going gray, Sam and Tyrell laid there stunned. Ty recovered first, he grabbed Sam by the shirt and pulled him down to eye level.
"Sam get the hell out of here"
"No Ty I can't leave you" Sam said hysterically. Ty reached his hand back and slapped him as hard as he could across the face.
"Sam, they want us both, get somewhere safe. Don't let Optimus die in vain. Now get" Ty heaved Sam away with all his strength. Sam looked back once before he began running, a few Decepticons crashed after him, but the trees were thick enough to slow them down. Ty laid in the shade of the tree that had crashed on top of him, praying that Megatron couldn't see him.
His hopes were dashed when the tree was lifted off of him. Megatron flanked by Starscream and another Seeker that just landed, he grinned down at him. Ty tried to scramble away from Megatron, dragging his hurt leg as Megatron reached down, in the end it didn't matter as Megatron picked him up anyway.
"Your mine now human," he said. He turned to look at the two seekers behind him. "Recover the other human Starscream"
"Yes my Lord" hissed Starscream, the Seeker took off in the direction Sam had run holding his detached arm.
Megatron prepared to launch off when a black shape came crashing out of the trees hitting Megatron in the side. Caught unprepared he dropped Ty as he tried to catch himself as he fell to the ground. Megatron came back up in a hurry, charging his plasma cannon, he stared at the black and silver Autobot that stood protectively in front of the insect. Megatron had never seen this Autobot ever before, he studied him.
"So Autobot, you have come to save the insect, don't tell me a warrior such as yourself listened to my brothers lies and become so weak as to protect that thing."
"Yes, if you say that guarding a human is weak, then I guess I am" the black mech. He studied the Decepticon Lord. "You don't recognize me do you Megatron. Maybe if I called you Lord, you might remember me."
Megatron's eyes brightened as he recognized the mech before him. "Barricade" he snarled, narrowing his optics. "Traitor, you should remember what I do to traitors."
That's all the warning Barricade got, he fired a few shots at the 'Cons, making them have to dive out of the way to escape, before turning and grabbing Tyrell. He took off running into the trees. Megatron got up from the ground for the second time in ten minutes. He turned to the unknown Seeker that came to stand beside him.
"Starkiller, this was your profession back on Cybertron, bring the traitor and insect back alive."
The Seeker bowed low. "As you wish, Lord Megatron"
Starkiller jumped into the sky, pulling a net from his sub-space. The net was covered in tiny barbs designed to go into a mech's armor and the more the mech struggled the deeper the barbs sunk in. The barbs were also covered in a sedative that acted immediately once a barb hit an energon line. It was Starkiller's least favorite devise to capture runaway mechs, but it was the only one that guaranteed not to be lethal. Also from his sub-space he drew out a bolow. It was a long cable with a large, heavy ball on each end. When thrown right it would wrap around the mechs legs causing him to fall. He smiled as he flew towards were the trees were swaying; he loved the thrill of the hunt.
-d-d-d-d-d-d-
Barricade ran as fast as he could through the trees. Ty clutched protective in his hands. His comm unit flashed that Bee was trying to reach him, but he ignored it. He would have to use all his cunning to get away from Starkiller. He had recognized the Seeker that had stood beside Megatron, he was the best bounty hunter in the history of Cybertron, always getting his mech. He glanced down at the human in his hand, Ty face was pale and he was biting his lip to not cry out as he was jostled. The sound of Starkiller began to become clear in Barricade's ears. Ty heard it to as he looked up at the sky.
"Barricade, were not going to get out of this one are we?" Ty managed to get out from between clenched teeth.
"No Tyrell, Starkiller is too good at what he does. No mech has ever escaped him, not even I will be able to escape him for long."
"Is Sam safe?"
Bee tried to contact Barricade again and this time Cade answered.
:Cade! Where-:
:Bee I don't have time, is Sam safe:
:Yes but-:
Cade cut the connection he didn't want Bee to do something stupid like come and try to rescue him.
"He's with Bee" The sound of the jet got louder, and then all of a sudden it stopped. "Frag" whispered Cade.
Through the trees, came the bolow, Barricade tried to avoid it, but it was thrown to precious, it tanged around his legs, causing him to crash to the ground. Ty cried out in pain as his leg was jostled. Barricade covered Ty with his hands as the net fell down on top of him. Barricade didn't even try to struggle, he was familiar with what the net was supposed to do. Starkiller landed next to the down pair, an evil grin on his face.
"So foolish to run, I always get my mech" he hissed leaning down and staring into Cade's eyes, before letting them slide down to Barricade's hands were he could see Ty peeking out. "And the little human, Lord Megatron and the Fallen will be so glad that I have recovered you."
He reached down and gathered the ends of the net, running a current through it, the ends snapped together. Barricade clenched his teeth as the bards sank deeper into his armor trying to reach one of his energon lines. Starkiller grabbed the ends of the net and took off. Barricade swinging wildly in the net, Ty huddled deeper into the protection of Cade's hands as Starkiller flew.
Tyrell once again thought of Optimus's gray lifeless eyes, and his sparkless chest. He finally let the tears escape, with Prime gone no one would be able to stand against Megatron and the Fallen.
