Me: So, how do you like the story so far?

I think I'm doing pretty good.

Well, now lets on with the story.

I'm pretty excited about this one.

Autobot Base

"So, what do we do," Adagio asked.

Sunset had transformed back into her human form and was now sitting on the couch, her head in her hands. Upon discovering that Lita was being controlled, figuring out how to free her from the control the Shadow Specter had her under wasn't like they were trying to pull teeth out, or trying to give a cat a bath, or looking for a library book that was already taken.

"We could break into the Nemesis and try to find the Shadow Specter," Smokescreen suggested.

"Yeah! We can smash our way in," Bulkhead said, making a fist bump with Wheeljack, "The Wrecker way."

"We can do that. But where are we gonna look? Plus, knowing Megatron, he most likely has that thing guarded," Acree said.

The Wreckers sighed. Wheeljack looked mournfully at Acree, "There goes our fun."

"I would rather not mend your stupid afts if you end up getting hurt over your stupid actions and plans," Aria said bluntly.

Everyone chuckled as Bulkhead and Wheeljack seemed to blush, rubbing the back of their necks in embarrassment.

"Regardless, it sounds like the Shadow Specter is dangerous. We should try and get it in our hands. And if possible, destroy it. That thing sounds like it could cause a lot of damage. And I don't want to find out if it can control humans as well," Fowler said.

"So many people could get hurt," June added, her eyes going wide.

The Autobots sighed, knowing that could be right. If humans could be affected by the Shadow Specter, then they need to get it in their hands. Destroying the Shadow Specter was something that had to be done, but how could they do that while it was the only thing that could save Lita? Destroying it might leave her trapped forever as Mega Power.

Sunset groaned hunching down on herself deeper.

Why was this so hard?! It was trying to help someone who was someone else under dark power who believed one thing while the person inside knew nothing. It wasn't like her transformation into a She-Demon when she was an evil little person.

Sunset froze, her eyes going wide in realization.

No! It was exactly her transforming into a She-Demon! She was overcome by her own evil and it took her friends light to save her. The Shadow Specter was made to combat evil, but was morphed into the opposite of what it was intended to be!

Sunset snapped herself up, her back popping from the fast movement and scaring her friends, who jumped at the sudden movement.

"That's it," Sunset exclaimed, getting up.

"What," Miko asked, eager to hear what Sunset had to say.

"Was it worth popping your back," Jack asked, looking Sunset a bit worried.

"Yes, it was," Sunset said, looking at Jack before turning to Adagio, Aria, and Sonata, "Girls! How did Twilight and her friends beat me and how did the seven of us beat you three?"

Adagio, Aria, and Sonata looked confused.

"Hmm? With your magic and friendship," Sonata tried.

"Yes! What? No, not just that," Sunset shook her head, "We were overcome by evil and we were defeated because we were overcome with what they had."

"I'm not following," Adagio stated.

"I think I do," Raf said, adjusting his glasses, "Sunset is trying to say that your negative energy was overcome by the positive energy. Since the control of the Shadow Specter only gets stronger with every bad thing Mega Power does, it makes sense that it will weaken every time Mega Power does a good thing. Or even something to overcome the control placed on Lita, allowing her to break free herself."

"So that helps. But how will we overcome the dark power the Shadow Specter has," Bumblebee asked.

"We need a plan. At the moment, though, we need to find some way to get Mega Power alone or somehow most of the Decepticons out of the Nemesis," Optimus says.

Ratchet hummed, tapping his finger on the bars when he suddenly looked at Tima, a question in his eyes.

"Tima, do you still feel Lita's part of your twin bond," Ratchet asked.

Tima looked surprised at the question and nodded, "Yes, I do. If I didn't then Lita is dead, and yet, I feel her part of the bond even though it is closed. I can feel her part, but I can't send anything through to her even though I tried. I stopped being able to talk to her when, well, when she became Mega Power."

Aria hummed, rubbing her chin before snapping her fingers.

"What if Lita isn't Mega Power? What if Mega Power is Lita if she was evil? Or maybe, someone entirely different, a separate being from Lita. Or someone the Shadow Specter created to host Lita's body," Aria stated.

Everyone took that in. If that was true, then that would be the reason Mega Power never believed Optimus and Lita when they tried to talk to her. Mega Power would have known she made from the Shadow Specter and since Megatron was the one using the Shadow to create her, it made sense that Mega Power saw Megatron as her Sire, while Lita suffered being a host for an evil entity.

"But what does Megatron want? Why is he using Mega Power," Smokescreen asked.

Adagio stood up then, her eyes filled with dread and anger.

"I know. He's using Mega Power to do the only thing that Lita would never do. He wants to destroy Lita from the spark," Adagio said.

"What? How," Faith asked from where she was sitting next to Sonata.

Adagio huffed, crossing her arms, "Tell me, which ones out of all of you did Mega Power try to kill the most?"

At once, everyone turned to look at Optimus and Tima. Looking at each other, Optimus and Tima realized that was true. Out of everyone and ever since Mega Power came to be and most of the times they came across each other, Mega Power would try to kill them.

"Killing us would give Megatron the ultimate victory," Tima stated.

"But that would also destroy Lita, knowing that she killed her Sire and sister," Optimus said.

"And then he'll kill her," Tima added.

"We got to get that Shadow Specter and save Lita," Sunset said.

Ratchet nodded, heading over to a tube-like machine and points to it.

"Tima, if I am able to put you into a stasis, do you think that you will be able to send your consciousness into Lita's mind? If you can, you will be able to talk to her," Ratchet says.

Tima thought about it for only a second, "Yes. There are risks, but if it can help Lita, then I'll do it."

Minutes later found Tima hooked up, her Sire and Smokescreen beside her. Everyone was watching Ratchet and Tima. Having on setting everything up and just needing to press one more button, Ratchet turned to Tima. Seeing that he was waiting for her permission, Tima nodded. Nodding back, Ratchet pressed the button.

Tima gasped as her vision went black.

Lita's Mind

Opening her eyes, Tima looked around. Nothing but blackness and darkness was around, nothing to be seen. Tima tried to see if anything by narrowing her eyes, but there was nothing that she could see. Then-

"Who are you?"

Turning around, Tima gasped when she came face-to-face with a mirror image of Mega Power, except for the fact that the colors were wrong. And the voice and eyes and the Autobot symbol. Tima knew at once who she was staring at.

"Lita," Tima said.

Lita blinked, looking at Tima more closely only to gasp herself.

"Tima? Is that you," Lita gasped.

"Lita," Tima shouts, lunges towards her sister and hugging her tight. Lita gasped, freezing at the hug before hugging back. Her sister was here, Lita didn't know how but her sister was here. Lita nuzzled her sister's head as Tima sobbed into her shoulder.

When she was done crying, Tima pulled away, wiping her tears away as Lita kept her hands on Tima's shoulders.

"Tima, how did you get here," Lita said before her eyes widen in horror, "Please tell me that Megatron didn't capture you too!"

Tima looked up and shook her head.

"No, I didn't get captured. Ratchet was able to put me in stasis and I sent my consciousness into your mind, which is where you are if you don't know. We needed to see if we were able to talk to you," Tima explained.

Lita sighed in relief and looked at her sister in sadness, "Well, you should leave, now."

Tima gasped as Lita pulled away, backing away from her sister. Tima shook her head, shocked.

"You want me to leave? After all these years apart," Tima spoke, nears tears again.

Lita nodded, her own tears coming forth.

"Yes."

"Why?!"

Lita seemed to lost her composure at the same time Tima did.

"Because Megatron will use the Shadow Specter on you as well! I don't know what he did to me, but I know it wasn't good! I don't want you, any of you, to end up like me! Stuck in this prison of darkness with something playing with you every chance it gets! So leave before you end up stuck as well! Plus, Megatron said that he would kill my family, you and Sire and everyone else I'm close to if I tried to fight back," Lita yelled.

"You were only a youngling! Besides Megatron lied to you! He's still trying to kill us! Megatron left Cybertron and came to Earth, where the humans reside. Our Sire has been protecting this world ever since they arrived! Megatron created Mega Power, who sees Megatron as her Sire, and she is using your body as a host! And, Megatron killed our Carrier when she found out what Megatron did!"

Lita gasped, this information comes as a shock to her. The things she knew, they were because of Mega Power? Then the feelings for that mech, Soundwave who she had seen clips of visions, were they hers or Mega Powers? Did she fall for a Decepticon or did Mega Power? Was she in control sometimes? Things are hazy here and why was she remembering things she didn't before.

Did she ever fire at her Sire, sister, other Autobots, and four unknown femmes? Was the Con that looked liked her and messed with her Mega Power?

Lita shook her head, getting rid of those thoughts.

"But you still need to leave. Please! I'm just trying to protect you," Lita said, turning away from her sister and walking away.

Tima shook her head and opened her mouth.

Tima-
You don't have to protect me; I'm not afraid!
Please don't shut me out again; please don't slam the door!
You don't have to keep your distance anymore!

Tima ran after her sister. Lita froze at hearing her sister sing, not having on heard her sister sing in a long time. But Lita shook it off, even though she didn't want to, and started to run.

'Cause for the first time in forever, I finally understand!
For the first time in forever, we can fix this hand in hand!
We can work this all out together!
You don't have to live in fear!

Seeing that she was losing her, Tima started to run as well. Tima about to lose sight of her sister when she just found her. She wasn't gonna lose her when she wasn't finished speaking to her. Catching up, Tima reached out and grabbed Lita by the shoulder, turning her to look Lita in the eyes.

Cause for the first time in forever, I will be right here.

Tima smiled, placing a hand on her spark.

Lita-
Tima, please go back home, your life awaits.
Go enjoy your life and leave me to this fate.

Shaking her head, Lita stepped back and smiled sadly. Lita motions Tima to leave with one hand, her other hand limp by her side.

Tima-
Yeah, but-

Tima frowned, stepping forward with her hand out.

Lita-
I know!

Lita held her hands out, nodding.

You mean well, but leave me be!
Yes, I'm alone, kept here against my will!
Just stay away and you'll be safe unlike me!

Lita turned away from Tima. As much as Lita enjoyed seeing her sister, she knew it was only a matter of time before Tima got caught by the thing in here with her the longer she stayed. Lowering her head, Lita started walking away from her once again.

Tima-
Actually, we're not!

Lita-
What do you mean, "you're not"?

Tima frowned, wondering if Lita knew Megatron was planning. Confused, Lita turned to look back at Tima, frowning.

Tima-
I get the feeling you don't know!

Lita-
What do I not know?!

Tima took a step forward towards Lita. Lita did the same and took a step towards Tima.

Tima-
Megatron is planning to make you kill us all.

Lita-
What?

Tima wanted to close her eyes but resisted the urge to stare at her to see her reaction. Lita gasped, shocked and talking a step away from Tima.

Tima-
He's using the Shadow Specter to control you.

Lita-
Control me?

Making up for the step Lita took, Tima slowly walked up to Lita. Lita closed her eyes, bringing her hands to her head.

Tima-
It's okay, you can just break free!

Lita-
No, I can't, I — I don't know how!

Time tried to convince her sister that they could fight, hoping that her sister would agree. Sadly, Lita didn't agree and shook her head, opening her eyes.

Tima-
Sure you can; I know you can!
Cause for the first time in forever-

Lita-
(Oh, I'm such a fool, I can't be free!)

Time nodded and pointed to herself. Tima started walking towards her sister, who started walking away again. Lita lifted her head, shaking it.

Tima-
You don't have to be afraid!

Lita-
(No escape from the prison that imprisons me!)

Tima held her hands out, silently begging her sister to calm down. Lita shook her head, gasping when she saw wisps of the darkness moving against the still dark and towards her sister.

Tima-
We can work this out together!

Lita-
(I can't break myself free!)

Seeing her sister was looking behind her, Tima turned and saw the wisps of darkness getting bigger. Scared for her sister, Lita each forward and grabbed her sister's hand and pulled her away.

Tima-
We'll reverse the hold on you!

Lita-
(Oh, Tima, please, you'll only get caught as well!)

Tima turned to look at her sister, glancing back at wisps of darkness started to take shape. Lita shook her head, pointing to shape that now was a dark figure.

Tima-
Don't panic!

Lita-
(There's so much darkness!)

Tima's eyes widen when she saw Mega Power appear out of the darkness, scowling at them. Lita turned and ran, pulling her sister behind her.

Tima-
We'll make sure you shine bright!

Lita-
(You're not safe here!)

Tima hanged onto her sister's hand, looking back at Mega Power who was following them. Lita looked back as well and did the one thing she hadn't done in a while in fear of Tima becoming like her: opening her side of the bond.

Tima-
We can face this thing together!

Lita-
(No!)

Tima gasped, looking at Lita as she stopped running. Lita looked at her sister, shaking her head.

Tima-
We can set you free from these chains!

Lita-
(Ahhh...)

Tima looked behind her when a portal opened up and looked back at Lita in alarm. Lita let go of her sister's hand, looking resolved.

Tima-
And everything will be all right!

Lita-
(I can't!)

Knowing what her sister was planning, Tima shook her head. Lita looked at an approaching Mega Power and looked back at Tima.

Lita pushed her sister through the portal and closed it, just as Mega Power got close enough. With knowledge she never knew about, Lita unsheathed her blade and fought back against Mega Power.

Autobot Base

Tima gasps, snapping herself up in a panic.

"Lita," Tima screams and tries to get up, only for Smokescreen and Ratchet to stop her.

"Tima, your back at Autobot Base," Smokescreen exclaims.

"He's right! Calm down," Ratchet orders.

Hearing them, Tima calmed down, laying down. Hearing footsteps, Tima turned to see Optimus coming, a familiar mech walking behind him.

"What happened," Optimus asked, concerned.

Tima sighed, sitting up and rubbing her head.

"Mega Power happened. She appeared and forced me and Lita to run and for Lita to push me back into my own mind. Not only that, Lita is afraid of fighting back because Megatron told her that he would kill us if she did. Lita didn't even know what was happening in the outside world at all!"

Optimus sighed, upset as well. Everyone else was upset, seeing Lita didn't even know anything about what was happening or what they were trying to do. Dropping her hand, Lita looked up, only for her eyes to land on the mech behind her Sire. In an instant, she recognized him.

"Uncle Ultra Magus, when did you get here," Lita says, surprised.

Sunset decided to speak up then for Optimus.

"He arrived while you were in stasis," Sunset said.

"And I instead on helping you save Lita. Optimus says he will debrief me later on, but he told me that there was a chance we could save her," Ultra Magus says.

"Yes. I just wish Lita can see that she doesn't have to be afraid to fight back," Optimus says.

Sunset frowns and walks up to Optimus, placing a hand on his foot, "I'm sure that we can convince Lita to fight back."

Optimus looked down at Sunset and in his eyes, you could see that he too wished the same thing.

Lita's Mind

The fight with Mega Power ended minutes after Tima left, but then memories started coming to Lita. Lita groaned, memories flooding through her brain of fighting other Autobots, her sister, her Sire, four femmes who called themselves the Auto Sirens even though she never did that.

"Must be Mega Power's memories," Lita groaned as the memories faded.

Sighing, Lita slowly hunched herself and looked around. She was alone again, the darkness seemed to be even darker than before. Maybe it was because Tima arrives here. Lita sighed, the knowledge that she was alone again putting a downer on her.

Lita opened her mouth and started singing.

Lita-
2 am; where do I begin?
Crying off my face again?
The silent sound of loneliness wants to follow me to bed.

Lita closed her eyes. Leaning back, Lita laid down. Lita slowly opened her eyes to look around at the darkness around her.

I'm the ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.

The girl she was vanished the day Megatron kidnapped her. Now, seeing Mega Power was in control of her body, she was nothing but a shell of something else.

Dancing slowly in an empty room.
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again.

All this darkness is empty and while it seems endless, Lita felt like she was trapped in a room. The whole reason she pushed Tima out was to save her from the darkness haunting her. Lita couldn't help but wonder if Mega Power was the darkness all around her. If that was the case, Mega Power was messing with her all the time.

Too afraid to go inside.
For the pain of one more loveless night.
Cause the loneliness will stay with me and hold me till I fall asleep.

Lita was afraid. If she escaped and Megatron killed her family, she would never forgive herself and yet, if she didn't try and escape, Mega Power would kill her family. It was so confusing and the choice was so hard!

I'm the ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.

Lita longed to be the girl she was, confident and strong. But now she was nothing but a shell of that, everything that she was.

Dancing slowly in an empty room!
Can the lonely take the place of you?!
I sing myself a quiet lullaby!
Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again!

Sitting up, Lita looked around, the darkness getting darker the longer she sang. All this darkness that has no way out and found no escape from the times, she tried in the past. Can she really escape this? From this prison that refused to let her go?

Broken pieces of a barely breathing story.
Where there once was love.
Now there's only me and the lonely!

She once had a great family. With a sister, Sire, Carrier, Uncle, and others! But now her Carrier was dead and she was stuck here while her sister and Sire were fighting the Decepticons and Mega Power, who was using her fragging body to fight back!

Dancing slowly in an empty room!
Can the lonely take the place of you?!
I sing myself a quiet lullaby!
Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again!

Lita narrowed her eyes. If there was a chance for her to escape, she would only take it if her sister or Sire or anyone else gave her a sign. If there was a chance to escape, she will take to get out of this place. This lonely prison of hers.

Lita groaned as memories once again plagued her mind.

Nemesis

Soundwave sighed, watching through Laserbeaks eyes as the Mini-Con traveled through the vents, trying to find Megatron and Mega Power. He felt things were getting tenser around Megatron and wondered if Megatron actually found out that Soundwave had some sort of emotion towards Mega Power.

Not only that, Laserbeak caught Megatron looking at Soundwave with the expression Megatron normally used when he was about to kill someone he saw he no longer needed.

"Sire, something has happened."

Laserbeak stopped and peeked out of the vent so he could see what was happening, Soundwave watched through Laserbeaks eyes as Mega Power walked over to Megatron. Megatron turned to her, humming his question.

"Lita Prime is becoming aware. She knows something isn't right and not only that, she is seeing my memories. By the time night falls, she will have all my memories, maybe within the hour."

Megatron made a displeased sound, turning back to the scene.

"Doesn't matter. She can't do anything as long as you are in control. By the way, Soundwave is becoming less useful and it's feeling like he's becoming less loyal. We need to get rid of him."

Because Megatron wasn't facing her, he didn't see Mega Powers look of panic, her face taking on something she normally didn't take. However, that look quickly vanished as Mega Power took on an evil and cold expression.

"Soundwave is as good as dead," Mega Power coldly said.

Soundwave called Laserbeak back. As Laserbeak silently made his way back to him, Soundwave went over what he just heard.

Apparently, Lita Prime was becoming aware of the world around her, meaning that she would become a problem sooner and not later then what Megatron and Mega Power believe. Megatron wants him dead and Mega Power is backing him up. Mega Power could have been acting because she always acted differently when it was just him and her.

Soundwave paused in his thinking. Mega Power was always cold and cruel and won't hesitate to hurt and kill. Lita Prime was the opposite.

Was the one he fell in love with Lita all along? Thinking about it even more made Soundwave sure that the girl he was in love with was Lita. It was her who talked to him and smiled at him. And she was in danger of dying.

As long as Megatron had the staff she was in danger.

Soundwave had to make sure the Autobots got their hands on it.

Me: Well, did anyone of you expect this to happen?

Keep reading my story to find out what happened next.

Tima and Lita sang "For The First Time In Forever Reprise" from Frozen. The song Lita sang was "The Lonely" from Christina Perri.

See ya all next time!
