Chapter 7: Attack!

A couple of hours later...

Prowl being the brilliant strategist that he was came up with the plan to attack the Decepticon base and it was a brilliant plan any flaws in said plan were snuffed out so that it was perfect.

"… we'll attack the base at night. They would never see it coming, my lord." Prowl finished.

"Prefect. Well done, Prowl," Nemesis replied with a small smile then turns his attention to the other Autobots. "Get ready! We attack in the dead of night, while the Cons are sleeping!"

"Yes, my lord." They said pounding their chests once with their fists.

"Good, dismissed." Nemesis watched his army left the control room.

Soon you'll be mine again, Optimus. And this… I'll never let you go. Nemesis thought with a small smirk.

With that thought in mind, he left to return to his quarters where his mate and slave were waiting. He stopped when he heard moaning through the door and he shook his head, knowing what his lover was up to, he seemed to get hornier by the week. Not that he was complaining he rather enjoyed it actually.

He opened the door and smirked when he saw Ironhide on top of Savage ravaging him, they still had to be gentle as the wounds on his back were almost finished healing. He simply watched as Ironhide had his way with their slave, who seemed to be enjoying it, judging by how he was holding his masters shoulders.

"Please… master… more…"

Ironhide chuckled as he start to thrust deeper into Savage's port, groaning with pleasure as he felt his claws sink into his shoulders. Within moments Savage overload with a pleasured cry, Ironhide wasn't that far behind him and overloaded with a pleasure roar. After his overload past he pulled out of Savage and got off the berth when he saw Nemesis.

"How was the meeting?" He asked.

"It went perfectly, we're attacking in the dead of night when the soft sparked Cons are sleeping." Nemesis replied with a small smile.

"I look forward to that." Ironhide said his eagerness easy to see.

Nemesis sighed. "You're not coming, Ironhide."

"What?"

"You're carrying, Ironhide. I don't want to risk losing the sparkling. I need you to stay here with Savage."

Ironhide wanted to argue but he knew that Nemesis was right, should he join them in the raid, he ran the risk of losing the sparkling. "Very well. But take Gypsy with you, I'm sure she'll enjoy shocking the shit out of Sideswipe."

Nemesis smiled. "I plan to."

Decepticon's Base, Middle of the night...

An explosion rocked the foundations of the base, jerking awake Optimus as he yelped, and sat upright in his berth. Pyris immediately started crying and he went to take him into his arms to rock him, but his spark was racing. What was happening? Outside, in the Hallways, there were running and shoutings, and he Opened his door, looking around.

The alarms were blaring, and he felt his energon run cold. This could only mean one thing, an attack... He didn't knew where to go or what to do, no one ever told him what he was to do if something like that ever happens, so he did the only thing that he thought was right: looking for Megatron, or Goldwing. The first he came across was the seeker.

"Optimus, you should stay in your quarters! The Autobots are attacking!" The young mech said, pausing in his path to his battle station.

"Where is Megatron? I need to see him!" He replied, holding Pyris tighter to his chest. The sparkling was still sobbing and whining, hiding his tiny head on his mother's chassis.

"He's on the COmmand Deck. But you shouldn't go there!..." He shouted after him as optimus bolted in the direction of the Command Deck. "Optimus!"

he didn't stop, he NEEDED to see Megatron, to make sure he was alright, that he wouldbe safe, and that nothing would happen to his precious little Pyris. he had the dreadful feeling that nemesis was right there, so very close... He spark sunk and he let out a small whimper, biting it back quickly. No, he wouldn't collapse! He was strong! He was close to the Command center when an Explosion rocked the hallway and sent him sprawling. He cried out and rolled protecting Pyris from the fall. He started to push himself up with one hand when a heavy, large shadow fell over him, and he tensed. Then the voice haunting his Nightmares spoke in his audio.

"Optimus... At last I find you." Nemesis whispered in a dark, deadly tune, and Optimus felt himself be roughly pulled to his feet and spun around.

His blue gaze met the cold, unforgiving red of his Nemesis, his evil alter-ego, and he shuddered, he couldn't help the low, terrified whine that escaped his vocal processor. Ho Primus No... He thought and a deep, core-bound shaking started to rack him. "No..."

"Yes... I'm taking you back home, slave, and my son." The other Autobots filled the hallway as well, at least 20 of them, and Optimus felt like fainting.

Sideswipe screamed in pain as massive jolts of electricity soared through his body as Gypsy continued to torture him with her electric shocks. He curled up into a ball as she stopped when she did smoke rose from his frame and he twitched every now and again.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that to you, traitor." Gypsy practically cooed.

Sideswipe whimpered in pain as she ran her claws down his side, sending small electric jolts as she did so. "I-I'll see you… in hell, bitch."

Gypsy simply smiled. "I'm not going to kill you, Sideswipe," She then pushed him onto his back and placed her hand on his chest. "You are going to a slave. Like Savage and Optimus."

"Not if I have any thing to say about it!" Before she could react she was slammed into the nearest wall, then she saw Hook's fist slam into her stomach then blackness.

Hook turned his attention to Sideswipe who was once again laying on his side twitching as electric jolts continued to rack his body.

"Primus… I hate her." He whimpered.

"So do I." Hook said with a small smile.

"I just realized some thing, Hook. We can always have a three way bond. You, me, and Savage."

Hook smiled softly at him and lightly stroked the side of his face. "Alright. We can give it a try."

All Optimus could do was stare wide eyed at Nemesis Prime, his nightmare was coming to life again only this time it was real and he couldn't wake up from it. He held Pyris close to him, he could feel his spark slam against his chest, he was frozen in place, his mind to him to run and get the hell out of there and protect Pyris. But his fear overwhelmed him and didn't move, not even when Nemesis took a step towards him, backing him into a wall.

"My, my. Pyris sure has grown." He lightly stroked the side of his sons helm with a tender claw

Optimus held Pyris even closer to his chest, and he could feel his son trembling and holding tight into him. The sparkling turned his head a bit when he was stroke and looked at the tall, frightening figure of his real father with wide, scared blue optics. He was frozen... he couldn't even move... He felt weak and pathetic like a trapped animal. he keened and tried to shake himself to move, to DO something!

"No... Leave us alone..." He whispered and pulled away a little, turning to hide his little son. "Monster..."

Nemesis chuckled and took another step towards him, backing him into the wall again, and leaned so close he could've kissed him. He was so scared... it wouldn't take much to break him right back where he was. Slowly he lifted a hand and cupped his cheek in a clawed hand, his thumb rubbing under an optics almost tenderly. Optimus visibly flinched and turned his head, but the hand turned cruel and harshly pulled his head holding him by his chin.

"I can smell your fear, your terror, Optimus. Even now, you're still mine, and you know it. Just like Megatron will be when I'm done with him..." His words were saccharine and smooth, like poisonous syrup, smlowing Optimus's thoughts and making moving impossible, like he was enthralled in a web. "Slave... Kneel before your Master."

Optimus whimpered when he was roughly pushed down to his knees in front of Nemesis, and Pyris had started crying again. The COmmand Deck was close, there was no way Megatron didn't knew what was going on, or maybe... Maybe he was dead, or gravely injured, and then he'll be alone, at the monster's mercy...

"Please… don't hurt Pyris." Optimus begged looking up at Nemesis, tears sliding down his face.

Nemesis simply chuckled then placed his hand on the side of Optimus' face again. "I wouldn't dream of it. Pyris is of my blood, with training and proper discipline he could make a loyal solider one day." He smiled at the though.

"Get away from him!"

Megatron! Optimus' mind shouted.

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, Megatron ruthlessly attack Nemesis then he was suddenly lead to another room where the action had returned to normal and the fighting became really loud.

"Goldwing?" He asked voice shaky.

"I told you to stay in your quarters." The seeker replied.

"I know… I just wanted to see if Megatron was ok." He turned his attention to Pyris who was whimpering quietly, tears streaming down his face.

Goldwing, kept his back pressed up against the door as he watched as Optimus soothed his distressed sparkling. "I understand your concern, Optimus. But it's you and Pyris that Megatron was worried about. He cares about you and Pyris and he doesn't want to lose you."

Optimus looked down at Pyris who was beginning to calm down but was still shaking in his arms. He lightly stroked his sons helm, he felt like a complete idiot for putting his own son at risk like that and right then and there he promised himself that he would never do that to Pyris again.

Come back to me, Megatron. Please…

IN the hallway, Megatron and nemesis were clashing fiercely. The clangs of weapons striking filled the air as the two shared blows, Both wore energon swords and deadly looks.

"Your end is near, nemesis Prime! I will not let you harm any other bot ever again!" Snarl Megatron as he nearly cut off one of Nemesis's arms.

"Ha, don't makes me laugh, you pathetic glitch! You and all of your Decepticons will soon be my slaves! You can't win against me!" He lunge forward and manage to cut a long line through Megatron's chestplates, making the bot stumble backward, pressing a hand to the bleeding wound.

After a small moment to put himself back together, Megatron attack again with all the strength and determination he could get. "Never, Nemesis! You will never win! You will never hurt Optimus again, or his son! If I have to kill you to prevent it, then so be it!"

This time, he land a fierce blow to Nemesis's shoulder joint, cutting through plating and wires and struts, and the arm is cut off and clatter to the ground, the wound automatically sealing. Nemesis let out a powerful roar of pain and leap backward, glaring at his nemesis with hatred and searing agony. "You're dead, Megatron... I'll take your head off!"

leaping at him again, his energon-soaked sword hurling through the air, aiming for his neck, and he is so quick that he would succeed... if another blade didn't block his own a mere inch away from its target. "Who?..."

"Your conquest stop here, Nemesis! You've lost!" Goldwing spat, red optics cold and hard, locking into the Autobot's Leader ones. And a almost animal snarl twist his mouth, his deeply buried psychopathic nature resurfacing in this situation.

Nemesis blink, and then glare, snarling right back at him. "Goldendeath... You traitor!"

The seeker had a twisted smirk, and in a flurry of wings and swords, overwhelm Nemesis and finally, the dark Prime finds himself pinned under the mech kneeling on his chest and sticking both swords under his chin. One movement and he loose his head. "You've lost... And my name is Goldwing now!"

Nemesis growled his optics blazing with hatred, three of his most powerful soldiers were traitors; First Sideswipe, then Savage and now Goldendeath! "I will never be defeated, traitor!"

"We'll just see about that." Goldwing growled.

Before Goldwing could remove Nemesis' head from his shoulders, Prowl and Jazz came out of nowhere and knocked the seeker away from their leader. Prowl fought off Goldwing while Jazz helped his lord to his feet and grabbed his arm from the floor.

"Autobots, retreat! Back to base!" Nemesis ordered over his COM link, he then turned his attention back to Megatron as he was lead away. "This isn't over, Megatron. One day Optimus will be mine again and you will become my bitch."

"Go lick your wounds, Nemesis." Megatron growled.

Megatron relaxed after Nemesis left, he leaned against the wall to support himself as exhaustion set in as did his wounds. He turned his attention to Goldwing. "Thank you, Goldwing. How's Optimus and Pyris?"

"They're fine, Pyris is a little shaken up, but other then that he's fine." Goldwing replied.

"I'll go check on them before I got to the med bay."

Optimus was gently rocking Pyris in his arms, the little one was falling aback asleep, everything had settled down shortly after Goldwing left to go help Megatron. He looked up when he heard the door open, much to his relief he saw Megatron, he was a little banged up but he was otherwise alright. Seeing him again filled his spark with joy, knowing he was alright.

Megatron walked to him slowly and smiled, seeing that they were both alright. He was very relieved, but he was afraid of how Optimus would react to his encounter with Nemesis. He was still fragile et not quite healed, far from it. Optimus looked... shocked, dazed, and like he had locked his feelings up inside him. Megatron frowned and walked to him, reaching to stroke Pyris's cheek, making the sparkling coo and nuzzle his hand. "Are you alright, Optimus?" He finally asked, meeting his optics.

Optimus blinked and stroke Pyris's head gently, feeling the sparkling was falling back asleep quickly, lowering his head, and he started to shake, his legs weakening, until he let himself slid to the floor, sitting there with small sobs escaping him. "He came... for me... For us..." It was like a nightmare, and he closed his optics, holding into his son for dear life like it was the only thing keeping him together. "I couldn't... fight him... He... He would've took... me and Pyris... I was frozen, unable to... protect..."

He was stammering through his words, sobs almost chocking him, and Megatron sat beside him and pulled him into a warm, comforting embrace. He felt his shake and tremble against him, burying his faceplates into his chest armor and leaning against him seeking the reassurance and comfort he was giving freely. "Shh, shh... It's alright, you were afraid, it was normal, you don't have to apologize, Optimus... Don't feel responsible, he hurts you so bad... It was normal to be afraid." He soothed, cooing soft words to him, and feeling like going back and tearing Nemesis to shreds.

Megatron held Optimus as he sobbed into his shoulder, he didn't stop him he just allowed Optimus to just let it out, after a while Optimus finally calmed down enough for the Decepticon leader to take him to his quarters. The mech was no shape to sleep alone tonight, once in his quarters he laid Optimus down on the berth and put Pyris in the crib that he had placed here just in case.

He turned his attention back to Optimus who was curled up in a ball on the berth, optics softening he went over to the berth and sat down on the edge of it and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"I'm such a weakling." Optimus said in a quiet whisper.

"No, you're not, Optimus. You were just afraid, like I was when the Autobots attack, I was afraid for my men and I was afraid for you and Pyris." Megatron replied gently.

"I-I should… have fought more. I don't even know why you even waste your time… with a weakling like me…"

Suddenly Megatron grabbed Optimus by his shoulders and shook him once then said in a hushed hissing whisper not he wouldn't wake Pyris. "Listen to me, Optimus! You are not weak, you were just scared, it's natural to be scared! And you don't waste my time, I love you, Optimus and I want to be there for you and Pyris," He pulls the bot into his arms and into a loving embrace, holding him close. "All I could think about when the Autobots attacked was you and Pyris, I was worried that I was going to lose you."

Optimus was shocked at Megatron's sudden change in behavior, and being shaken brought him out of his wallowing self pity. All he could do was listen to the Decepticon leader as he practically poured out his soul to him, confession that he was worried about him and that he loved and cared about him. When he was pulled into an embrace that was tight but gentle he relaxed and wrapped his arms around the Con returning his embrace and burying his face in Megatron's neck.

H-he really does care about me… I was such a fool not to believe him… Optimus thought, his spark filling with joy.

Megatron held him and stroke his helm gently, feeling his frame relax against him as he listened to his words. He continued to tell him how much he loved him, and how much it had terrified him to know he was in danger, and that his only thought had been to run and save him. He nuzzled his helm and kissed it finally, saying. "I want to bond with you Optimus. Would you become my Bondmate?"

Optimus was shocked by his confession, and he looked up at him with wide optics, tears spilling from his optics again, but out of joy this time, His spark bounced and beat hard under his plating and he felt himself melt in the Decepticon's embrace. He couldn't bring his vocaliser to work for some times, until he said, shaky and sobbing. "Yes... Yes I want to be your Bondmate, Megatron. I love you..."

Megatron smiled and leaned on him to kiss him gently, slipping his glossa into the other's mouth and exploring slowly, tasting him. His optics closed and he pulled Optimus into his lap on the berth, stroking his plating gently, trying to find sensitive spots and making him moan and squirm under the loving touches. "I'll always take care of you, my love. You and Pyris, you're my everything..."

"And you are mine, Megatron. Without you... I don't know where I'd be now. With /him/ probably..." he shuddered and kissed him again, chasing away the bad memories with this love and care. He touched him and stoke him, finding spots and they started to explore each other's slowly, taking their time.

"Don't think about that, just think about me, about us." Megatron murmured, attacking Optimus' neck with tender licks and nips, making his soon to be bond mate moan lovingly.

Optimus allowed Megatron to take control, knowing that the Decepticon leader would never hurt him and he wanted this so much it almost hurt. He mewled weakly as Megatron nipped and kissed his way down his neck and chest, his spark was beating a million miles an hour as he felt his cable harden against his panel.

Megatron once again claimed Optimus' lips in a passionate and tender kiss, then lightly rubbed his panel making his lover moan with heated arousal. "Open for me, Optimus… I wish to taste you…"

There was a click moments later and the former Prime' panel slide back freeing his harden cable and damp port. "Please… "

"How can I ignore that plea?" Megatron asked before once again kissing his way down Prime' body, while he tenderly stroked Optimus' outer thigh with his hand.

Optimus gripped the bed sheets then let out a breathless gasp as he arched off the berth when Megatron took his harden cable into his mouth. After a few moments past the Con leader started to slowly bobbing his head up and down, running his glossa down the length of his cable. Earning him a pleasured groan for his efforts, he purred with lust as he felt Optimus stroke the sides of his helm.

Megatron flinched when Optimus suddenly grabbed his helm, he understood seconds later as fluid filled his mouth when his lover let out a pleasured groan, crying out his name. He pulled away from his lovers cable and smiled up at him.

"Enjoy yourself?"

"Primus… yes…" Came the breathless reply

.

"Ready for more?"

"Y-yes… please… take me. I want to feel you inside me…"

Megatron smiled at him lovingly and captured his lips in another searing kiss while he sunk his cable inside the other's hot, leaking port. He let out a small moan and Optimus cried out in the kiss, and clung to him tightly. Megatron started thrusting with deep, long movements, enjoying the lovemaking and the feeling of his lover against and around him.

"You feel perfect..." He purred and nuzzled his neck and licked at his throat and sensitive cables there. He pulled him closer holding his hips, and his spark reached to him, needing him, beating hard. "My love..."

Optimus gasped and moaned as he was filled and Megatron moved inside him so wonderfully. He wrapped his legs around his hips top pull him even closer and deeper inside him, and he couldn't have enough of him. "Love you... More... Please..." He arched his back a little more to meet his thrusts and his chestplates started to part. he was eager to bond now...

Optimus looked at his beautiful blue spark, leaning close to nuzzle the edge of the chamber reverently. The place where the Matrix had been was still there, and it was like a void where something important used to be. Optimus just moaned and arched, and Megatron opened his own chest to bring his spark and Optimus's together. It was like they clicked, like they were meant to be together, and the pleasure was... intense.

Megatron continued to thrust into his mate as the bond began to form, they soon saw each other's pasts, it was strange… their pasts were almost similar but they were still different. Both mech's overloaded with a passionate cry, they held each other as the pair rode out their overloads.

The Decepticon leader pulled out of Optimus and laid down beside his mate, panting heavily, holding Optimus close to him after they're chest plates were closed.

Optimus shifted so that he was laying sideways and his head was lying on Megatron's chest. "That was amazing…"

His bond mate smiled lightly running a dull claw over his audio fins, smiling even more when Optimus closed his optics and moaned quietly. "Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did."

Optimus smiled then placed a kiss on Megatron's chest before saying. "There's just one little thing that I don't get."

Megatron narrowed his optics slightly. "And what would that be?"

"Why did you sleep with Nemesis?"

He should have seen that coming, he sighed before replying to his mates question. "It was a long time ago, before the war even started. We were lovers but that was it, we agreed to break it off and I never saw him again well… except for when the war started."

"What was Nemesis like, you know, before he went evil?"

"He was a lot like you actually. But… I knew that there was some thing wrong with him, I just didn't know what it was at the time," Megatron sighed again. "I knew that there was darkness in his spark, I just loved him so much that I didn't see it… I wish I had. Maybe I could have stopped the war from happening."

Optimus placed his hand on the side of his lovers face to make Megatron look at him, optics soft. "You can't torture yourself with 'what ifs' you'll only drive yourself crazy."

Megatron smiled before kissing his mate tenderly for a moment, he couldn't be more happier then he was right now.
