I'm not going to make Dinobot and Yume fall inlove. The farthest their relationship would ever go is like a brother/sister, father/daughter thing, though Dinobot as a father figure would be a little weird. Meh, it could happen. lol. My sister should stop watching chick flicks.
CHAPTER 8
Dinobot snapped his head back toward her. His face filled with anger as he glared at her accusingly. "Who told you that?" he demanded.
Yume stammered as she answered, frightened by his reaction. "M-Megatron,"she replied. Oh God! He hates me now!
"Why would he tell you that?" he snarled.
"I-I don't know," she replied. "Why? Is he lying?"
He ignored her question. "How dare he tell you that," he growled. "You have no right to know."
She didn't know what to think now. "So he's not lying?"
The look he gave her made her glad that the two had been put in seperate cages. "That is not for you to know," he growled.
"So he's not lying?" she asked again, hiding half of her face in her knees.
He growled but did answer honestly. "No he is not."
"He's not?" she asked. "You are a Predacon?"
"A former Predacon," he corrected. "I changed my loyalties shortly after we crash landed on this Primus forsaken planet."
"Why?" she asked, her eyes meeting his for a moment. "Why did you change your loyalties?"
He said nothing. She could tell he didn't want to answer. She could understand if he was ashamed of what he'd done or just didn't want to talk about it though it troubled her. She didn't want to push it and make him angry. If he wanted to tell her he'd do it on his own accord. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," she said. "I only asked because I was hoping that Megatron would be wrong about you."
The raptor looked surprised. "Why would you want that?" he asked.
"I don't know," she told him honestly. "He said some things about you that didn't seem right. He said you'd do anything to get what you wanted. It didn't really seem to fit the way I thought of you."
Dinobot still refused to talk.
"It's okay," she said, her voice full of sincere understanding. "You don't have to tell me. I'm sure you're ashamed of it."
"ASHAMED!?" he demanded, looking back at her, his face full of rage. "I am not ashamed of anything!"
"I-I-'m sorry," she said, scooting away from him even though they were in serperate cages and he couldn't get to her even if he wanted to. "I just thought that was the case since you weren't telling me if it was true or not."
The raptor sighed. Infernal wench... "I am not ashamed of what I once was," he told her.
She sensed he wanted to open up to her but seemed afraid to. Maybe he thought she'd hate him even more. She didn't know why it mattered to him. When did he care what she thought? "Why don't you tell me about it?" she asked. When he hesitated she added. "Whatever you tell me won't be told to anyone else. I promise I won't say anything. Cross my heart"
Cross my heart... "...Fine... Here is how it was..."
Tarantulas was working on something in his lair as he watched Yume and Dinobot on a computer screen in his room. "So she's finally away from Megatron," he said. "Tehehhehee. Now I can-"
"What are you doing?" asked a femanine voice behind him.
"You!" he exclaimed turning around and blocking the monitor with his body as he stared at Blackarchnia who stood behind his with her hands on her hips. "What are you doing here?!"
"I was just wondering what you've been up to," she said, walking up to him. "I didn't see you when the insect and I got back and I wondered where you had gotten to." she smirked. "I thought for sure you'd want to see the human when she was brought in."
"I'll have a look at her later," he said, turning away and shutting off his computer. "Now leave. I'm busy right now."
"Busy with what?" she presisted.
"It is none of your concern," he said with annoyance. "Now would you please leave me be? I have work to do."
The black widow frowned at him. He's hiding something... as usual... she figured. I wonder what it is this time...? "Okay," she said turning away. "But when you want to see the girl she's in the dungeon."
"So this was the wrong planet you were looking for?" she asked, after he'd told her a bit of the story. "I noticed the two moons last night. For a moment I thought this planet might be Mars but Mars is red and I doubt would ever support life."
Dinobot made a strange sound at that statement and Yume stared at him. It sounded like he was chuckling but trying not to sound like he was. Is he laughing at me?
"Mars would be the least likely planet to compare this one to," he said after he composed himself. "But whatever one this is, it is not the planet we were looking for."
He hadn't explained why they had wanted to come to Prehistoric Earth in the first place. She wanted to know though she had a feeling if she found out she might not like the answer. "Why did you want to come to Prehistoric Earth in the first place?"
Terrorsaur kicked Waspinator out of his room when the wasp accidently knocked off one of the flying dinosaur's arms. Now the wasp walked down the hall rubbing his rear and asking "Why univerzzze hate Wazzpinator?" as Terrorsaur angrily stomped his way to the CR baths. On the way he ran into Tarantulas who seemed to be having one of his laughing fits. The flying dinosaur had no idea why the tarantula was laughing and wasn't sure he wanted to know. He had a guess, though, so he bothered to ask. "What's so funny?"
Tarantulas stopped laughing and looked at Terrorsaur. "Oh nothing, tehehehe," he replied, putting up a claw. "I was just wondering how Megatorn would react if someone stole his duck."
Terrosaur gave the spider a look. Who do you think you're kidding? he thought. You're up to something and I bet it has to do with that human girl... an idea came to Terrorsaur and he pushed past Tarantulas, an evil smile on his face. He had a plan but he couldn't put it into action until he got out of the CR bath...
"So you stole the Golden Disk and wanted to come to Prehistoic Earth to change history?" Yume said, a little surprised at the explaination, which had been pretty long.
"Yes, that is the reason we came," he replied.
"Why would you want to do that?"
"Because it would have made things right," he answered. "The rest of the Predacons and I are treated like we aren't equal to the sentimantal Maximals." he looked away and snarled. "It is not right."
Yume said nothing. This story reminded her of something she'd written in school a few years ago. About how after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese Americans were treated with suspicion, as if they had something to do with what had happened. It hadn't been fair and people had no right to blame the Japanese Americans for what their former country had done. Or when the Twin Towers had been destroyed. People had no right to treat American Muslims that way either. It wasn't right or fair. It's kind of how I'm treated at school, she thought. But I am not being blamed for anything...
"That's not right," she finally said. "They shouldn't blame you for what happened in the past. It's not your fault."
Dinobot stared at her. Did she feel sorry for him? He hadn't wanted her pity. He had only told her what she'd wanted to know. "Do not feel sorry for me," he said. "I do not want or need your pity."
"I'm not pitying you," she corrected him. "I'm just saying that isn't right. The Decepticons might be your ancestors but that doesn't give the Maximals the right to treat you badly. You can't be blamed for what happened."
She didn't even seem to care about the reason for them stealing the disk. He wasn't sure if she was stupid or whatever. Why would she care?
Her next question startled him. "Does Megatron still have the Golden Disk?"
Rattrap and Airazor argued about Dinobot all the way to the Predacon base. "I don't see why you always have to get that way about him all the time," she said, flying above the rat. "He hasn't done anything to you."
"You aren't around all the time," Rattrap told her. "He has done plenty to me."
"I'm sure he had his reasons," she shot back.
"Why are you even botherin' to stick up for the lizard?" the rat demanded. "Do you have some kinda thing for him or somethin'?"
"No," she replied. "I am just saying I am sure he has a reasons for getting mad at you. You're not the most get alongable person, ya know."
"Eh, who asked ya?" he said. "At least I don't glare at everyone the second I walk into the room."
Dinobot stared at her. "Why do you want to know that?" he asked her.
"I'm just asking," she replied, changing position. "I don't have any other reason."
Dinobot didn't believe her. He had a feeling she wanted to see the disk but there was no way she could. If Megatron still had it, which Dinobot didn't doubt he did, he'd have it guarded by something. It would be dangerous if the girl tried to get a look at it, not that that was possible anyway.
"It would not be a good idea," he told her. "Just forget it. You cannot get to it anyway."
Yume wasn't sure about that. She eyed the bars surrounding her on all sides then reached out to touch one. There was a buzzing sound then she cried out as her hand was burned by the heat from the red rays of light. She put her hand in her mouth and whimpered.
"What are you doing?" he demanded. "You cannot do that! You are not a machine! You will just get hurt!"
"Why didn't you tell me that before I touched it?" she asked, tears streaming down her face.
He snorted. "Sometimes it is better to learn things the hard way," he replied.
She glared at him and cursed under her breath. Meanie! she thought.
"If you want to get out of there you have to turn off the power," he told her. "But you cannot do that because the controls are out of your reach."
Yume looked at him then at the control panel. It wasn't hard for her to calculate the distance. He was right. It was too far away for her to reach. She crawled to the edge of the bars and sat back just far enough to keep her face from touching the bars. I wonder if I can find some way to touch the control panel without hurting myself. She reached down reach into her backpack and discovered it wasn't there. "Where is it?" she asked panicking.
"Where is what?"
"My backpack?"
"Megatron took it."
"WHAT?!"
Tarantulas peeked around the corner and felt a foot hitting him in the face. "DWAAAAAAAAAh!" he exclaimed, falling onto the floor. He looked up and saw Terrorsaur standing over him. "You! But I thought!"
"Waspinator gave me back my arm," Terrorsaur replied. "Now I would like to ask you what do you think you're doing?" he folded his arms and leaned against the wall.
"I don't have to tell you," the spider replied, getting up.
"Oh yeah?" Terrosaur asked, moving away from the wall and getting into the other Predacon's face. "I know what you're doing. I know you're going to take that girl."
"How would you know?"
"I'm not that stupid," the flying dinosaur replied. "Well let me tell you something. I'm not letting you have her."
"And why not?"
"Because I'm going to get her first!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"We'll see about that!" Tarantulas pounced Terrorsaur.
Megatron might not have admitted it but he had been curious about the thing on Yume's back and when he'd knocked her out cold he'd taken her backpack and when he was sure he wouldn't be bothered he'd gone through it. He hadn't found much in it except Yume's math book, make up, and paper, lots of paper. At the bottom of the bag was her smelly gymn suite which he quickly stuffed back inside when he got a wiff of it.
"Ew, yuck!" he exclaimed, holding the pack at arm's length. "Humans are disgusting, yessss!"
Nothing inside was very interesting except... the sketch book. As soon as he'd opened the sketch pad he spotted the half done picture of Airazor. Though he didn't care a bit about the Maximal the excellance of the picture caught his attention. It looked almost exactly like the falcon girl.
So, she's an artist, yesss. he thought, setting the pad on his computer desk. "Hmm I wonder how well she'd draw me?"
Terrorsaur stepped aside and avoided the spider. Tarantulas flew by him and landed on the floor. Terrorsaur turned and booted him in the rear, sending him flying across the hall. The spider's head smacked into the wall and for a second he saw flying Waspintors in angel outfits before his eyes before he shook his head to clear it and turned on Terrorsaur. The dinosaur was already getting ready to kick him again. He grabbed Terrosaur's foot and threw into the air.
Terrorsaur sqwuaked loudly and flew upward, out of balance. He landed flat on his back with a metallic clang.
Tarantulas looked down at him and laughed. Terrorsaur growled at him and leapt to his feet, punching the spider right in the face.
Yume and Dinobot heard a commotion in the hall and looked toward the door just in time to see Terrorsaur and Tarantulas come crashing into the room, kicking and biting. The two watched the Predacons brawl. The two Preds weren't paying attention to anything around them and eventually crashed into the control panel. Yume watched the bars surrounding her flash then disappear. When this happened Dinobot, seeing his chance, transformed into robot mode. The two fighting Predacons stopped fighting just then and stared at him.
"The prisoners have escaped!" Terrorsaur exclaimed.
"Then get off me!" Tarantulas ordered, shoving the flying dinosaur off him.
The two started shooting at Dinobot and Yume. The girl screamed as a lazer bolt shot past her by inches. "Get out of here!" Dinobot shouted at her, looking down at her.
"But!" she exclaimed.
"Just go!" he snarled. "I can take care of them by myself."
Yume hesitated then dashed out the door the two Preds had smashed through and into the hall. Tarantulas saw her go. "She's getting away!" he exclaimed.
"Then go after her!" Terrosaur shouted, shooting at the raptor. "I can take care of him."
Tarantulas went into beast mode and left the room.
"Oh no, you do not !" Dinobot shouted starting after the spider.
Terrorsaur blocked his path. "Where do you think you're going?" he asked before shooting at the raptor.
Yume ran down the hall, totally lost. She had no idea where she was going or where the exit was but her fear pushed her farther down the winding halls. I have to get out of here, she kept thinking. Have to get out of here. A door loomed in front of her. She didn't stop running. She ran toward the door and put up her arms.
Suddenly the door opened and a figure stood in her way. She screamed but couldn't stop as she plowed right into it.
Waspintor didn't even know what hit him. Something crashed right into him and blew off his head. When his head hit the floor he spotted a figure dash down the hall. A figure with raven black hair.
Dinobot dodged Terrorsaur's firepower and shot back at him with his eye lazers. The flying dinosaur dodged the bolts and just kept firing. Dinobot reverted back into beast mode and lunged at Terrorsaur. Terrorsaur sqwuaked loudly before Dinobot landed on top of him, pinning him down with his feet.
"Let us see how you like being in a cage," he snarled, going back into robot mode and picking the other dinosaur up by the throat. Terrorsaur let out gurgling sounds before Dinobot threw him into the cage and turned the bars back on. The raptor chuckled evilly to himself then ran out of the room, hoping Yume had gotten out of the ship like he had told her to.
Yume ran down the hall until she couldn't ran anymore. She slowed to as walk then leaned against the wall, panting heavily. "This ship is bigger than I thought," she told herself. "How am I ever going to get out of here?"
She looked around herself ,but everything still looked the same. It would be awhile before she got out of there. Her thoughts returned to Dinobot. I hope he's okay. I hope he didn't get caught. Something told her to go back and help him. But what can I do? I don't have a weapon. I don't even have my backpack anymore. Realizing she couldn't do anything she sighed and started walking down the hall, hoping she found the exit before the two robots told Megatron what had happened.
Megatron had heard the commotion and left his room, leaving her backpack and sketch pad on his comuter desk in his room. "I wonder what's going on now?" he asked himself as he ran down the hall. "Why do I get the feeling some of my minions are doing something stupid right now?"
Yume was still lost. She'd changed direction quite a few times but still wasn't getting anywhere. Everything still looked the same. The only good thing was that she hadn't run into any Predacons yet. She wasn't sure how long that would last, though, and quickened her pace. After a few more minutes she leaned against a wall and sighed. I'm not getting anywhere. What am I going to do now. Maybe I should go look for-oops! the wall behind her fell away and she lost her balance. She landed on her back on the floor and stared at the ceiling. "I should learn not to lean against the walls around here," she said out loud. "I always seem to land on the floor.. huh?"
Suddenly she noticed something bright above her and sat up, looking over at her shoulder. She spotted something glowing near the far wall and got up. She walked over to it and stared at the light. When she was close enough she stopped in her tracks and took in the object before her.
"What is-?" she began, her eyes on the round object that looked like a giant gold coin. "Is this what I think it is? Is this the Golden Disk?"
A/N
I do like this chapter but I'm not entirely satisfied with it. For some reason it seems a little weird. Just to let you know. I'll be gone for a few days so I won't be able to update for awhile. Sorry.
The only pairing for Dinobot I would even consider (DBxBA and maybe DBxAR) is are joke pairings I would never write because people would kill me and it would be almost as bad as my InfernoxBlackarachnia one. lol. And no I won't even think about pairing him with Rattrap (EW!). He'd probably run the vermin through before that ever happened, lol. If I write more fics with her in it I'll probably change the Beast Wars storyline a bit because I don't want Dinobot to die! Code of Hero was the saddest episode I have ever seen. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE AWESOME RAPTOR?! I don't like Beast Machines that much either. Everyone suddenly loses all the parts of their personalites that made them great, mostly Megatron. He became a big, fat, organic hating, wack job.
WEEE I'm so happy! I'm finally getting a Dinobot toy! No, not the original where he looked like he was painted nude the 10 anniversay one. Hehehe. Too bad he didn't come with the golden disks. All well I'll just give him some chocolate money to hold.
I am sorry if my logic is flawed.
