Chapter 11

Taking Hostages

Megatron held onto Nicole all night, not letting her go for one second. Starscream had frightened her the other day and she even screamed when Megatron touched her. Megatron watched over her all night barely getting any rest at all. All he was worried about was Nicole being okay. Early in the morning Nicole started to stir and Megatron whispered, "I'm here darling."

Nicole's optics slowly came on and came face to face with Megatron's. She looked at him seeing he looked tired.

"What's the matter? It looks like you haven't slept." she whispered.

"I haven't slept. I've been watching over you all night." he replied kissing her forehead.

She smiled a little bit and snuggled closer to her only love. His grip tightened around her when she did that. Then there was a knock at the door.

"Oh great who is it now." moaned Megatron.

He slowly got out of bed and walked over to the door finding Thundercracker standing outside the door.

"What is it Thundercracker?" asked Megatron as he brought his fingers to his temple and started rubbing it.

"Sir, the Autobots are going to get Earth's cyber planet key." replied Thundercracker.

Megatron looked back at his beloved and said, "We'll leave shortly."

He closed the door and walked back to the bed and said, "We're going back down to Earth very shortly."

"I'm coming too Megatron." she replied.

"No, I can't risk you….Starscream may be there." he whispered.

Just the sound of his name sent fear down her spine. She didn't like that bot one bit. He scared her and he wanted her destroyed for some reason.

"Why does Starscream want me dead?" she suddenly asked.

This question really caught Megatron off guard.

"I think it's because you're the only thing that I love and a weakness to me. He thinks that if he destroys you then I'll be in misery forever. The truth is, that if he laid a finger on you, he'd be dead before he could say Primus."

"Megatron what if…what if Starscream is planning on coming here once you guys are gone and knows that I'll be here alone? What will happen? I think I should go with you." she whispered.

Megatron looked at his beloved knowing she could be right. He let out a sigh not knowing what to do. Then she spoke up again, "If I am with you he wouldn't dare attack me. He knows you are powerful, but he wouldn't attack…would he?"

"He may, he may not. You really don't really know about him. He a suspicious traitor, but if you are with me then no I don't think he'll attack." he whispered.

"Then will I be able to go with you?" she asked with high hopes noticed in her voice.

Megatron looked down at the sheets then back up at her face and said, "You may come, but you stay right next to me and nobody else."

"I wouldn't dream of standing next to anyone else. That would just be weird." she laughed.

Megatron couldn't help but laugh either and said, "We better head to the command center."

Nicole nodded in agreement and got up from the bed only to be picked up and slung over Megatron's shoulder.

"Hey! Put me down! I can walk!" she screamed and laughed at the same time.

Megatron couldn't help, but laugh. Then she started to kick which made him start to laugh even more.

"Put me down Megatron!" she screamed again.

This time Megatron dropped her and she started to fall to the floor and Megatron then caught her in his arms cradling her to his chest. She gave him a glare and said, "Put me down Megatron."

Megatron did as he was told this time. Nicole felt her feet touch the safety of the ground and she stormed off away from Megatron. Megatron walked after her keeping a good trail on her. Once they were in sight of the command center Megatron picked up the pace and walked past Nicole.

"Okay so we're heading to earth to get the cyberplanet key…"

"Yes sir and the Autobots are already down there." reported Ransack.

Megatron looked at him and then punched him in a wall and said, "I think I already know that Ransack!"

Crumplezone quickly ran to his little buddy and helped him up. Then Megatron said, "Nicole will be coming with us since I don't trust that traitor Starscream. He may decide to break into the base once again. So Nicole will be with me at all times."

Everyone nodded in understanding seeing Nicole right next to Megatron. Nicole felt a little awkward with all of them looking at her. She quickly looked to the ground and then Crumplezone asked, "What if she isn't with you sometime during the battle? What if you two get separated?"

Megatron looked at Crumplezone and asked, "You're not thinking of betraying me are you Crumplezone?"

"No! No! I was just curious!" he squeaked.

Megatron eyed him suspiciously and then looked at Nicole and asked, "Are you ready?"

Nicole shook her head 'yes' and then Megatron opened a warp gate. As they walked through Crumplezone and Ransack were whispering to each other.

"Hey buddy has Megatron yelled at Nicole yet?"

"I don't think so big guy." whispered Ransack.

They quickly walked in the warp gate and met up with the rest of the Decepticons. Megatron and Nicole were flying together not leaving each other's side. Then the Autobots came in view and Megatron along with Nicole dived down at them. Both of them started firing at them. Crumplezone and Ransack were driving as fast as they could trying to find Override so they could rematch the race they had lost.

Megatron dived down and started firing at Optimus. Optimus looked up at saw Megatron with Nicole. He started firing at Megatron. Lauren looked up and saw Optimus firing at Megatron and Nicole.

"No Optimus! Optimus! Nicole!" screamed Lauren.

"I'm sorry Lauren, but she's a Decepticon now and my enemy. I have no choice."

"Yes you do! You don't have to fire upon her!" she yelled.

Optimus took his guard off of Megatron and Nicole seeing Optimus was off guard Megatron fired at Optimus hitting him in the shoulder and causing him to fall back.

"Oh no." she whispered.

Back at the Decepticon base Starscream along with Sideways entered the base.

"Oh Nikki! Nikki where are you!?" taunted Starscream looking through all the rooms.

"Sir, she's not here. Megatron must have known we would do this." reported Sideways.

Starscream looked at Sideways and said, "Let's go to Earth, most likely where they have gone."

The two warped out of the base and down to Earth where they found the Decepticons and Autobots fighting, Starscream smiled seeing Megatron with Nicole.

"Megatron! I believe you have something that belongs to me!"

Megatron quickly turned his head and looked up at Starscream. Optimus also looked up seeing Starscream.

"Nicole doesn't want you Starscream!" Megatron yelled, "You get out of here or else I'll kill you with my own hands!"

Starscream started laughing and dived down towards Lauren and Rick Nicole saw this and lunged herself towards her small friends and grabbed them and got out of the way.

Megatron saw this and said, "Good work Nicole. Give us the cyber planet key and you'll get your precious humans back."

Nicole and the rest of the Decepticons warped back to the base. Nicole looked down at her friends in her hands.

"Good job Nicole now let me see those humans." he said holding out his hand.

"I'm sorry Megatron, but I was saving my friends from Starscream. He was going straight at them." she whispered holding the close to her.

"You're friends?" he questioned.

"Yeah, my friends from my school when I was human." she whispered.

Megatron looked down at the humans in his beloved hands and said, "These humans shall not be harmed at all. But we still will use them, but we will not kill okay my dear?

Nicole smiled and looked down at her friends. Lauren was happy and spoke up, "It's nice to finally meet you in person Megatron…I think."

Nicole laughed when her friend said that. Megatron looked at Nicole and then back down to Lauren, "It's nice to meet one of Nicole's friends."

Lauren started to smile and then looked up at Nicole, "You were right. He's not as bad as he looks!"

Megatron looked at Nicole and eyed her suspiciously and Nicole smiled innocently and said, "I need to tell someone how good you are."

Megatron only shook his head and said, "You tell anyone and I'll have to hurt you."

Rick just looked up at him and looked back down.

"Who is this boy Nicole?" he asked seeing the boy didn't look friendly.

"He's Lauren's boyfriend." she said.

"Soon to be ex-boyfriend if he doesn't straighten up." retorted Lauren.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"You know that day when the Autobots were up here and we ran into each other when you were supposed to be in bed? Well ever since then he has been acting strange."

Nicole looked at Lauren and then Lauren whispered, "Oops."

"Oops is right human." retorted Megatron who gently picked up the two humans from Nicole's hands.

"Nicole looked at Megatron and said, "I'll make it up to you."

Megatron eyed her and said, "Okay, maybe later on, but I need to put these humans somewhere safe."

"I'll come with you." exclaimed Nicole.

With that the two along with the humans walked down the hall into the darker part of the base towards the Decepticon's rooms.

I hoped everyone enjoyed. Please review!
