It hasn't been too long since i last updated this story. So don't complain about the wait. At least it wasn't 2 years again. But this chapter isn't as long as some others. The story is slowly winding down probably a few more chapters before this is completely done. But I do hope you guys have enjoyed it!
Chapter 10
Unicron
Thundercracker and Lauren flew as fast as they could to get back to the base. This was something no one ever thought possible. Unicron the destroyer of worlds was real! Lauren was being pushed farther and farther back into Thundercracker's seat because of the speeds he was flying. She looked down at his speedometer and saw it was going off the charts. No jet could fly as fast as he was, well Starscream could probably beat him with no problem, but no human made aircraft could do so.
"Thundercracker, who is Unicron?" Lauren asked.
"He's sort of like the devil in your culture, but he eats planets. If he is alive then that means we're in deep scrap." Thundercracker replied.
"But the Autobots and Decepticons are united right? There's no more evil in the world."
"The Fallen still lives. And as long as he still lives Unicron may fully come back to life. In order to fully defeat Unicron the Fallen has to die." Thundercracker explained.
"I don't know if Optimus would like doing it…I mean the Fallen was a Prime once."
"He will be able to do it. He knows what is right and if it means killing a Prime he will do it." Thundercracker replied and a boarded the ship. Everyone was still in their rooms when he boarded and sounded the alarm. At that moment the whole ship sounded like a herd of elephants got spooked by a tiger hunting them.
"What's going on?" asked Megatron who looked pissed off that he was disturbed.
"Lauren and I went flying around in space and came across Unicron." Thundercracker stated.
"Unicron? What are you saying that the devourer of planets is alive?" Starscream asked. Alexis was on his shoulder
"Yes, well not really…he wasn't moving when we saw him but he's floating in mid space and I have no idea where he came from."
"The moon…look at Cybertron now and tell me where is the moon." Megatron growled. Everyone stopped and pulled up Cybertron through the satellites around it. He was right the moon was missing, but Cybertron was intact.
"What does this mean?" Nicole asked coming up from behind Megatron.
"It means he is too weak to even feed on planets because the war has died down. The only evil left of our race is the Fallen." Megatron replied.
Optimus had Emma with him and when she heard about Unicron she started to get nervous. A devourer of planets…the Transformers were big enough and if there is a giant transformer the size of a moon then they were shit out of luck. Emma looked at Optimus and at the other transformers. She had no idea what was going to happen, if they were all going to survive or not.
"How about we ask the Fallen, surely he would be able to tell us more about Unicron since he is one of the creators of evil besides Unicron himself." Emma spoke up. Everyone stopped talking and Optimus looked at her.
"That's a great idea. Everyone, we ask him questions through the bars no one is to interact or touch him. We have no idea what he's capable of." Optimus spoke and started walking towards the cells in the back of the ship. The other transformers followed them until they came to the Fallen who was still lying on the ground in pain from the damage they had inflicted on him.
Megatron was the first one to the cell and yelled, "Fallen!"
The Fallen looked up at Megatron and grinned, "Ah my apprentice has returned. Get me out of this cell."
"No." Megatron replied sternly. The Fallen's optics widened. Nicole came walking up next to Megatron and the Fallen grew angry.
"A femme huh? You've changed your ways for a femme!" The Fallen yelled but was cut off by coughing.
"How do you defeat Unicron?" Megatron asked.
"How should I know?" The Fallen answered. Megatron growled and pulled open the cell without unlocking it. Optimus was about to say something but Megatron threw the Fallen across the way into a wall.
"Now, you will tell us how to defeat Unicron or your death will be slow and painful." Megatron replied. He looked up and saw Nicole standing there, "Take her to her room, I don't want her to be disturbed in case…I do have to kill him."
Thundercracker with Lauren on his shoulder walked over to her and took her arm and started leading her away. "Megatron…" Megatron looked at Nicole, "Please be careful." Megatron nodded and focused his attention back onto the Fallen.
Once Nicole was out of sight Megatron picked him up and held him to his face, "Now, how do we kill Unicron?"
"I will never tell an Autobot anything." The Fallen growled. Not liking being called an Autobot Megatron threw the Fallen into the wall again. Optimus had Emma cupped in his hands as well Starscream did Alexis.
"I'm not an Autobot, I'm a Decepticon. Though we are at peace with the Autobots that doesn't mean I have the same interrogation techniques as them." Megatron snarled. The Fallen looked up into Megatron's optics and saw anger livid in them.
"You're no Decepticon. A Decepticon wouldn't have let a human femme turned transformer melt his spark!" The Fallen yelled. Megatron yelled again and grabbed hold of the Fallen's head and bashed it against the wall.
Optimus walked over to Starscream and whispered, "We need to get the two humans out of here. I'll take Alexis and Emma to my room just in case it gets even worse."
Alexis knocked on Starscream's hand and he let it up so Optimus could take her. "Keep an optic on Megatron; we need the Fallen to be alive if we want to kill Unicron."
Starscream nodded and watched as Optimus took Alexis away. It killed his spark to see her go but he knew that this was for the best. He looked back at Megatron and the Fallen, he was still trying to get the Fallen to tell them how to defeat Unicron and it was not working. Starscream sighed and pulled out his sword that was once his wing.
"Megatron let me take care of this." Starscream growled. Megatron looked at Starscream and was hesitant for a moment but moved aside.
"Now, you will tell us how to kill Unicron and this sword won't touch you." Starscream stated.
The Fallen spit Energon in his face and laughed. Starscream didn't think it was funny…at all. Starscream pulled the Fallen closer and raise the sword high in the air before striking it down cutting off the Fallen's hand. The Fallen let out a blood curdling scream as he felt his hand being severed with the sword. He watched as the Energon started to pour out of the pipes and wirings in his arm.
"Now you will tell me out to defeat Unicron or else the other hand will come off and I will not stop until I get the answer I want." Starscream smiled. It was so good to be threatening something again, since the Autobots and Decepticons had joined forces there were no battles. He was growing board and something like this was bringing the light back, the thrill of the battles from long before.
The Fallen looked at him and then Megatron who had a gun pointed at the Fallen's foot, "You will tell us now or else your foot is toast."
Optimus took Emma and Alexis to his room and sat them down on his desk. "Now I need you two to stay in here until either Starscream or I come get you. It's not safe for—
"No, you just don't want to see what you guys are capable of." Emma replied, "You don't want us to view you as monsters. But you forget that you and the Decepticons fought against each other for so many years—
"Emma…you didn't see them battle. There were times when we'd actually lose an Autobot and it was horrible. I watched Starscream die when I was around fourteen years old by Unicron. That was when killing him took both Autobots and Decepticons to take him down and make peace with one another. When I watched Starscream dissolve into nothing I thought I was going to die completely. Optimus knows we won't think of them as monsters he doesn't want us to have certain things burnt into our brains and have nightmares." Alexis spoke.
Optimus nodded in agreement then took a finger and gently stroked it down Emma's body. Emma looked up at him and said, "Get that information out of that fallen Prime."
Optimus smiled and replied, "Yes ma'am." He then stood up to start heading back towards the cell block. If Megatron hadn't gotten the information out of the Fallen by now it was going to be aggravating, he would break sooner or later. Even if they had to download all his knowledge they were going to find out. Forcefully downloading someone's mind was a painful process and it usually killed the transformer in the process.
Optimus then turned his back to the two female humans and walked out to door to only run into Thundercracker and Lauren who were running. "What's the matter with you two?" he asked.
"Its Nicole, she doesn't like being locked up in her room and she's kinda…pissed." Thundercracker replied.
"Well she can't' get out right?" Optimus asked.
There was a sudden explosion down the hall and the three of them looked down there to see smoke becoming visual. Optimus looked at Lauren and said, "She should go in my room with the other two females."
"Why?" asked Lauren who crossed her arms.
"Interrogation doesn't seem to be going as Megatron had planned. I think it would be safer especially since Nicole is not particularly happy."
Thundercracker took Lauren off his shoulder and handed her to Prime. Optimus then took her inside his room where Alexis and Emma were sitting patiently and then left once more. When he came out Nicole came running down with optics fully enraged. Thundercracker laughed an uneasy laugh and bolted down the hall.
"Nicole!" Optimus yelled. Nicole didn't stop to talk to him, she just continued down the hall after Thundercracker.
The Fallen was missing his hands and feet, part of an arm and a leg before he started talking, "The only way you can kill Unicron is from the inside…his spark has to be destroyed by one who is pure." The Fallen gasped.
Megatron growled, "And how do you think we can get inside? In case you haven't noticed Unicron isn't exactly the smallest being in space."
"There are many passage ways, many entries…there is one in his chest that would lead you to his spark." The Fallen's optics flickered and Megatron slapped him to make sure he wasn't going to go off line.
"You're not going offline until I say you are." Megatron snarled.
"Stabbing a sword through his spark…that would be the only way of killing him."
Starscream looked at himself; he was the only one there who had a sword. He squeezed it tightly knowing he had the only one around unless someone else miraculously pulled out one. Suddenly Thundercracker came running into the room yelling, "Move out of the way! Angry Femme coming through!"
Starscream and Megatron looked over and saw Nicole rounding the corner with a weapon loaded. "Nicole!" Megatron yelled.
Nicole suddenly stopped and looked at her leader and lover. "Yes…."
"What are you doing? You're supposed to be in your room! You're a pregnant femme who needs to rest that sparkling isn't going to take care of itself!" Megatron yelled.
Nicole looked down and then at Thundercracker and said, "Why couldn't I stay? Everyone else was staying."
"The human girls have left. Optimus took them to his room so they wouldn't see anything that is going on Nicole." Megatron growled.
Nicole looked at Megatron and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Ah, a femme, so emotional during this time, I take it you must be close to delivery if you're this emotional." The Fallen coughed out.
Megatron looked at him and pointed his gun at the Fallen and snarled, "Give me one reason why I shouldn't just kill you now."
"Because I know more about Unicron than what I told you." The Fallen spoke.
"Like what?" he asked.
"Like I might be a Prime, a fallen Prime, but I am also a spawn of Unicron himself." The Fallen growled.
Everyone was shocked at what they had just heard. The Fallen, a spawn of Unicron? This was insane. There couldn't be a spawn of Unicron.
"Well since you just told us that, we can fully get rid of you." Megatron growled.
"No wait!" The Fallen pleaded.
"If we kill him now that'll weaken Unicron because he is part of Unicron. Probably a main reason he's still alive is because of this glitch." Starscream spoke.
Megatron smiled and said, "Thank you for your valuable information Fallen, killing you will weaken the titan himself."
With that said Starscream took his sword and neatly cut through the Fallen's neck. He didn't know what hit him until his head came rolling off his shoulders. Nicole stood there seeing what had happened and then looked at Megatron. She ran over to him and hugged him tightly. He hugged her gently not wanting to hurt the sparkling but when he did she screamed out in pain.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I think…I think the sparkling is ready." Nicole spoke through gritted teeth. Megatron's optics widened. He was going to be a father…now!
Alexis, Emma and Lauren sat on Optimus's desk just waiting for them to come back and get them. It had been a little bit but not long they had heard a scream and then the transformers running past the room. It must have been bad if they were running. They hoped the Fallen wasn't on the lose that would be very bad especially for the humans.
"What do you think is going on out there?" Emma asked.
"Nicole and one of her tantrums, I can't wait until this sparkling is out of her." Lauren replied.
"Okay Nicole I need you to be ready, we need to get this sparkling out of you. It's time." Red Alert spoke.
"It really is!" She squeaked. Megatron squeezed her hand and Red Alert looked at him.
"You're going to regret doing that once this is over." Red Alert stated.
Megatron looked at him confusingly and then started to yell as Nicole squeezed his hand. He could feel dents starting to form from her grip.
I bet Megatron is really regretting giving his hand to Nicole, and I can tell ya this, its going to be all bent up when she lets go. I do hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.
