Chapter 9
No voice
Megatron POV
Katherine tried all her might to get out of my grasp, but the poor little femme was too weak. Of course so was Sarah and I would have to teach her a lesson for failing me. I never allow anyone to fail me. This was so fun watching her torture like this. I need to find more femmes to torture. They're just so fun to watch. So weak and helpless…my kind of thing.
"Optimus!" she screamed.
Optimus turned around and faced me with Katherine in one hand. His optics widened as he saw me choking the life out of his new love.
"So Optimus finally got over Elita One I see? Well I'll make sure you mourn more days over this pretty femme…too bad she is an Autobot. She would make a lovely Decepticon Queen." I whispered.
"Let her got Megatron or I swear to Primus…"
"What will do you Optimus? You're one of the weakest Autobots I've ever known and you're going out threatening me? Ha! I'll make sure her death is slow and painful so that you can hear her scream." I laughed.
I watched as Katherine's face grew more frightened of me. I couldn't stand it, it was too fun! I started to squeeze harder around her throat. Her hands went flaring up in the air to my hand trying to get me off of her. No use. I am to strong her for and she could never get my hand off of her neck. She will be dead before I ever let go.
Suddenly something hit me. I fell to the ground and I lost grip of Katherine. I looked up and saw Optimus Prime looming over me. He held a gasping Katherine in his arms glaring down at me. I started laughing now. He believed he could kill me? His own brother? I could only do that. He wasn't strong enough too. I wanted all the power in the world and could do anything to get my way, but not dear Optimus.
"Are you going to kill me or just stand there?" I asked.
"You're not worth it." he growled and started walking away.
"I knew you were not strong enough. You're never strong enough! First you have the Witwicky boy kill me when we first land here! I am resurrected by Soundwave and then you can't kill me again! Do I need to get the boy so that he can kill me? Oh wait…he's in his fifties now!"
Optimus handed over Katherine to an Autobot and walked over to me as his hand changed into an energon sword. He was actually going to kill me. Nah he wouldn't he was too weak. He loomed over me once and again, but this time…he jabbed the sword threw my arm. He couldn't kill me…he still cared for me after all these years…
Optimus POV
I stabbed Megatron…that's all I could do. He was my brother and I couldn't kill my own brother. Love is not a weakness…sparing someone's life was not a weakness, but he always thought you had to kill someone in order to prove that you were all power. Once I saw his optics go off line I took out the sword and transformed it back into my hand. I walked over to Ratchet who had Katherine making sure she was okay. I was such a fool to leave her unguarded…it nearly cost her, her life.
"How is she doing?" I asked worriedly.
"She'll make it. Her vocal processor is damaged a little bit. I'll have to repair it when she wakes up. She won't be able to speak for a little while." he replied.
This same thing happened to Bumblebee when he was just a young warrior. Like back then it was my fault and now it was my fault.
"I know what you're thinking sir, and no it was not your fault. It was never your fault."
"Yes it was Ratchet. I let my guard off of Katherine like that and Megatron had gotten a hold of her and she won't be able to speak." he whispered.
My Katherine…my beloved Katherine, I'm so sorry. I couldn't help, but blame everything on myself. I couldn't bare have her die as like Elita did…oh Primus please don't let her die. Soon Katherine woke up and looked around and tried to speak, but only squawks came out of her mouth. I closed my optics shut feeling so horrible with what had happened. More squawks came out of her as she sounded scared what had happened.
"It's okay Katherine. You're going to be fine. I'll fix your voice." Ratchet tried to calm her.
I slowly turned towards them and walked over to Katherine. She looked up at me with sorrow him her optics.
"I'm so sorry." I whispered.
Katherine just shook her head and grabbed my hand to bring me down to her level. She kissed me on the lips and shook her head and used her lips to communicate. I easily read them as she wanted to say 'Don't ever think this is your fault because it wasn't I was not paying attention when Megatron was behind me.'
"But Katherine…"
'Don't but Katherine me.'
I let out a sigh. I knew it was pointless arguing with her. She would basically win the argument even when she couldn't speak. It was embarrassing.
Katherine POV
I looked at Optimus. He looked so sad when he blamed stuff on himself like he was doing. It was her fault for not paying attention and she got what she had coming for her. She closed her optics wanting everything to go back to normal as it was before, but new you couldn't change the past. She found that out watching the old animated movie of the Lion King. Of course they had remade the movie into a live action one…it was okay, but old one was better though.
She soon felt Ratchet start working on her voice processor to see if he could make her talk again. She let her whole body relax as Ratchet worked. She couldn't wait to talk again. She missed talking. Now she knew how Bumblebee felt like All those years ago.
Please give ideas. I'm running out of some ideas. So if you want this fic to keep on going just review and give ideas.
