Paring: Megatron/Optimus

PLEASE READ: Ok this chapter features a new character, an OC of mine called Force. To be honest I'm not too good describe what the mech looks like so sorry if his description isn't much but here is a link to what he sort of looks like art/MY-OC-FORCE-314993186 but I need to update him for my cowboy fic. I plan to do a drawing of him later to help you guys see what he looks like.

Well anyway that's enough out of me enjoy.

Hope comes to a lawless town

Chapter 11

Starscream let out a groan when he finally came round. His vision was a bit blurry but still he recognized that he was in the train compartment. He noticed all the seats were sideways and he knew the compartment itself must have been flipped over on its side. He rubbed his head before starting to climb on top of the seats to reach the windows to get outside once more.

When he did get outside he looked at the destruction. The whole transport was a mess, 2 wrecked train compartments were over and the locomotive itself was barely on the tracks as it was tilted over a little. There was no way they could use it to get to Darkcon. There was smoke and fire coming from the destroyed wheels.

Worry started to creep into his spark as he knew Megatron was in the locomotive. He jumped down and started to walk to his friend location. He limped slightly as well because he had a large cut on his leg. "Megatron!" He shouted but there was no answer to his call.

When he was close to the locomotive he spotted 3 figures unmoving. Fearing the worse Starscream quickened his pace, sure he fell down twice but he didn't care he had to know if the Sheriff was alright. When he did reach his friend he certainly got a nasty shock. It was Megatron alright but he was lying on top of the unconscious Optimus who had both his warms around Megatron protectively. Starscream didn't know what to think, right now they looked more like a loving couple resting in the sun together than enemies. Starscream was going to demand some answers but now wasn't the time to start a yelling match.

He lifted Megatron and moved him away then handcuffed Optimus making sure the prisoner was secure. He checked the driver but sadly he was dead.

Starscream returned to his friend and shook him a bit then patted his cheek to get him to wake up. Soon enough the Sheriff' eyes opened. He looked confused and unsure what just happened. He looked to be trying to piece together in his mind the events that just took place and it didn't take long for him to remember. He sat up quickly knowing Optimus was with him but he saw the outlaw was already secure. He was happy and sat back with Starscream kneeling before him.

"Megatron are you alright?"

The Sheriff nodded but frag did he hurt all over. "Good job securing Optimus".

Starscream grinned and helped Megatron to his feet. They both looked battered and bruised but they were alive, which was the best news for them.

Megatron then looked at the damage, it was pretty bad but the cargo wagon was intact the money was safe, for now at least.

Suddenly he remembered that Soundwave and Galactia weren't around. "Starscream where are the others?"

"In the first compartment, Galactia got hurt so they stayed behind while I went to help you".

"Stay here Starscream and guard Optimus. I'll go get the others".

"Ok but here take this". Starscream lifted out a small box from his little med kit bag. It wasn't much but it had good painkillers inside. "These should help them".

Megatron thanked him then ran to get to the others.

Megatron lowered himself down into the train compartment and tried to see where his friends were. "Soundwave, Galactia! Can you hear me?"

A sudden noise to his left got his attention. He ran over only to see Soundwave pushing some chairs off himself.

"Soundwave! Thank Primus your alright!" Megatron helped him and Galactia up. Everyone really did look bad but the important thing was that the job was done. Now the hard part was getting everyone back to Darkcon and the money.

Megatron knew the only way was for one of them to head back to town on foot and get some help. It would take a good few hours to get help out here and they didn't have any food or energon but it was the only choice they had.

"Galactia, can you stand?" Soundwave asked her. He was eager to know how she was feeling.

The Bounty Hunter simply smiled through her pain and leaned on Soundwave. She was glad to have him by her side. "I'll be ok…sweetie… just need to get some medicine in me".

"Speaking of medicine, I got some". Megatron lifted out the painkillers from the bag and gave one to each of them. Megatron wanted Starscream to have the rest, since his leg looked pretty bad.

Megatron and Soundwave worked together to get Galactia out. She couldn't move her damaged arm since it was broken. It hurt her badly but she smiled and told Soundwave not to worry so much but that didn't help him much. He was worried, his girl was hurt.

When they got back to Starscream, he was just sitting next to Optimus who was still out cold. He was glad to see his friends alive and when they apporched he hugged each one of them.

"We finally got the bastard". Galactia remarked.

"Yes but now we have to get him back to Darkcon". Soundwave said as helped sit her down.

Megatron ordered Starscream to take those painkillers now. He also got a bandage for him and tied it around the damaged leg to stop the bleeding. It would be ok until they got him to a doctor. Megatron then stood up and looked behind him, the tracks led back to the town. He had to go now before it got dark.

"I have to head back to Darkcon on foot. You three wait here"

"Megatron it's too far away for you to walk it on foot. You'll collapse from exhaustion before you get anywhere near it. I know it because we are all weak, tried and hurt from the crash".

"I have to try Starscream, we need help".

Galactia sat up. "It's your choice Megatron and in the meantime we'll hide over in that cave". She pointed towards the right and in the distant she said the cave was there. They didn't see it but she could and they weren't going to call her a liar. They had to hide because even if they got Optimus they were still in danger. Optimus men could still be racing towards them also they were sitting next to a fortune of money making them target for thieves and other gangs.

"Alright you three head over and take…"

Suddenly they heard something behind them. They took cover quickly and ready their weapons. The noise was coming from a dark tunnel not too far from the railway tracks. They pointed their guns towards it believing any moment another group of Optimus gang was going to attack. Then from the shadows a horse and carriage came out quickly. It travelled over a bridge and made its way towards them.

Megatron pointed his guns at it but the carriage slowed down in front of them and the diver called to them. "Hey you guys alright!"

"I'm the Sheriff of Darkcon, who are you?"

The carriage doors opened and a rich looking mech stepped out. He wrote a grey suit with a red tie, the material looked expensive. A gold chain hung from his chest pocket and he wore multiple rings on his fingers "Frag, you all look like you been through a war. I'm Force by the way please let me help you"

Starscream kept his gun on him. "How do we know you aren't working with Optimus?"

"Well if I were I probably would have killed you already or maybe demand you let Optimus go then kill you"

"Hmm…you have a point" Starscream muttered.

Megatron put his gun away. "Please Force help get them to Darkcon. I need to stay and look after the cargo wagon".

"Of course Sheriff, driver please help these good folks".

The driver jumped down and rushed over to help Galactia and Starscream inside while Soundwave dragged Optimus over and threw him in. He warned Force to make sure to be careful with this one. Soundwave wanted to go but he couldn't just let Megatron be on his own here he needed help to watch the money.

"Force when you get to town contact Mayor Hook and tell him what happened. Get him to send help and another locomotive to pull the money back to town"

"Right Sheriff but you two be careful ok also take these". He gave them two energon cans to drink and some food. "I'm sure they will help".

Megatron nodded but then Soundwave moved forward and kissed Galactia deeply. "I'll be with you soon, just be ok again".

"I will but you be careful you hear me. I want you back safe or I'll coming after you"

He nodded and gave her a kiss on the forehead then stood back and closed the door. Starscream kept a gun against Optimus chest and didn't take his eye off him as the wagon started to move and ride back to town.

It was the longest 5 hours of their lives, the two never rested. They had to stay alert until help came. It was just the two of them protecting a wagon full of money, they listened to any sounds and looked to find anything that could warn them that Optimus men had arrived back, but they didn't.

When another train came and a company of military personal to take over escorting the money back, the two mechs wanted to join them still wanting to make sure they got the money back to Darkcon safe and sound. They joined the military company and followed the train all the way home and only when they finally entered the city did Soundwave and Megatron relax again.

The two were taken over to the doctor and were give treatment for their injuries. Mayor Hook kindly offered them rooms at his home for all the trouble they been through. He guessed soft beds, good food and a warm bath would do them all good instead of the stuffy rooms at the town's Saloon.

Megatron didn't see anything wrong with the rooms but the noise at night could get annoying so he was glad for peace at Hook's home.

As he finally got to his room he was too tied for the meal or bath he stripped off and laid naked in bed pulling the bed covers over him. He was sore, tried but happy. Optimus was caught, money was saved. It was sad that the driver of the train was killed but there was nothing they could do, his head cracked on impact when the train crashed.

Megatron said a pray for him then turned over and started to go to sleep but as he closed his eyes his mind thought of Optimus and because of that his dreams were plagued by him.

Next Day

It was the morning after and Megatron felt like his head was going too exploded. Sure it was from the pain he felt but also the fact he just had a night dreaming of different ways he and Optimus had sex. He wanted to bury his head in the pillow and never come out again. How can he be like this? Him the Sheriff having fantasy about Optimus, the ruthless gang leader. He felt so stupid and angry at himself.

"Optimus did this to me. He made me think this way with that power of his. I got to get him to turn it off before I go nuts". Yes that was the plan he had in mind, he will make him switch whatever he did off.

The sun shined in the bedroom it was a beautiful day and he could hear outside cheers and happiness all round as Optimus had been caught. Megatron smiled, it was tough work but hearing those cheers and knowing innocents are safe was well worth it.

He stood up and decided now would be a good time for that bath. He soaked in the tub enjoying the warm water as he moved his fingers against the bubbles around him. He always did like a bubble bath.

After enjoying the bath he got dressed and headed out and went down into the dining room were Hook, Soundwave, Galactia and Starscream and their new friend Force was.

"Ah here he is our hero". Hook said and raised his glass to the sheriff.

Megatron quickly protested. "Please I didn't do this by myself thank my friends they deserve the credit"

"Oh don't worry we know all they have done. It's time for celebration but I'm sure you want to question Optimus first before the high court sends the carriage to take him away to stand trial in Kaon. I send Shockwave a report of your success last night".

Starscream was more interested in the celebration part. "Hey it will take them a few days to get here so let's have that party tomorrow night. We can hold it here if that is ok Hook, just a small get together".

"Ha you seem to be better Starscream". Soundwave joked.

"Hey after all the hard work we did why not celebrate".

Force couldn't agree more. He smiled at the young Starscream and enjoyed his enthusiasm "Yes I agree I'll pay for the food and drink"

"Oh stranger you don't have to that"

"I do, I think it's important to let the law enforcement know they are very much appreciated. You saved this town"

The heroes smiled but Megatron wanted to know more of this Force. "How about you tell us who you are anyway?"

"Oh forgive me, as you know my name is Force. I own my own building company. I'm helping to design and build Iacon city. I was coming here anyway to meet with the mayor to discuss some more ideas when I ran into you 4. I'm glad I could help in some way to get you back here safely"

Starscream stood up and walked over and shook Force hand. "Well thanks Force you saved us, if you need anything just ask"

Force just smiled at Starscream, "I'll remember that". The look made Starscream kind of blush, he quickly went back to sit down.

Megatron took a drink then looked at the Bounty Hunter "Galactia how are you feeling?"

"I'm going to heal just won't be able to move my arm for a month but I have Soundwave here who says he'll take care of me".

Soundwave blushed but smiled hugging her.

"Well you guys finish breakfast t I'm going to check on Optimus".

"Oh Megatron wait could I have a word with you" Starscream said.

"Later Starscream eat up ok I'll be back".

He wished them good morning and then left. As he stepped out and headed over to his office many citizens came over to him and thanked him for getting rid of Optimus. They felt so much safer now thanks to him. He just smiled and said thank you and hurried to get to the office.

He stepped inside and went towards back of the room where the cells were. Optimus lay in bed looking up at the ceiling humming a tune to himself when Megatron walked in.

"I see you're up". The Sheriff said.

Optimus looked and saw the Sheriff he smiled just a bit but clearly he was annoyed at how he ended up in here. "Sheriff…"

"Well you changed what no witty remark?"

The outlaw sat up now. "Where's breakfast I'm hungry".

"You're lucky I feed you at all". Megatron lifted the tray. He ordered Optimus to stay back as he opened the cell. He placed the tray on the floor and slides it over to him. He quickly locked it again and watched as Optimus started to eat up.

"I have something I need you to do" Megatron said.

Optimus smile grew and he licked his lips. "Hmm what does the sexy sheriff have in mind?"

"Nothing that you're thinking about right now, I came to demand that you stop whatever you did to me".

"Excuse me?"

"The power, the one who showed me and made me well hmm more friendly to you. I want it gone from my system".

Optimus just stared for a moment then his lips turned to the biggest grin ever and he started to laugh loudly.

"What's so funny? I demand you stop this already"

Optimus laughed so much more holding his sides. Megatron growled and hit the bars and yelled at him to stop.

Optimus finally came round. "You don't get it do you? I told you I never will use it again on you. I only did once to show you the effect of it and that was it. Those feelings you been getting are your own. The Sheriff has a thing for bad boy criminal".

Megatron felt his chest tighten at the news of that. Still Maybe Optimus could be laying still and just playing with him to mess him up but still part of him felt it was true. It scared him.

"You like me Sheriff I didn't think you actually would but you do and I'm so glad. I knew deep down you enjoyed my attention towards you, I felt it when we kissed on the train."

"I never feel anything for you!"

"Stop lying already I can see it and I'm very flattered and happy now come in here and kiss me"

Megatron hit the bars again. "Shut up! You may as well not get too comfortable here Shockwave will send an armed escort for you and take you to Kaon to stand trial for your crimes, enjoy your time what little you have left".

"I will enjoy it because you are here"

"SHUT UP!" The blushing Sheriff shouted.

Just then he heard voice calling out to him from the front desk. He looked at Optimus who just sat very pleased with himself. Megatron wondered if he should have just gagged Optimus until he gets taken away.

When Megatron came out from the holding cells there was a group of mechs young and old. They stood behind the main desk chatting among each other and whispering. The leader was an elder mech who looked like he been in many fights and clearly showed he lived a hard life in Darkcon.

"Sheriff is it really true you have Optimus"

Megatron nodded. "Yes he is here"

"Well just thought you should know, a lot of people lost family members, friends and lovers because of that monster!" The crowd behind him spat and cursed Optimus name.

"I understand that but…"

"But nothing we believe he should be trialed here and shot before us all. It's what he deserves!"

"He is going to be transported to Kaon and trialed there, that is my orders and I won't change them".

"We want justices now!" The crowd screamed.

"You see Sheriff, a lot of people are very angry and if they don't get there way, well you might have a mob on your hand"

"Then I'll deal with it but no one touches Optimus or I'll arrest you all. He is to stand trial in the high court of Kaon that is it! Now I will ask you all to leave".

They looked at one another but decided for now it will be best if they leave but they said they'll be back sometime. Megatron signed when they were gone.

He thought he was going to be free of problems for a while but turns out he had another big problem coming his way, a mob of angry citizens wanting the blood of Optimus.
