Hey everybody! Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I was so stressed because I had to take my driver's test today and I was really nervous. But I got my license! Yay! And to answer your question Verbophobic, I am making a sequel. :) It wouldn't feel right to not right a story that takes place during the new Transformers Prime movie whenever it decides to come out. Any who, here is the next chapter and I will try to publish the last chapter today. I can't believe this story is almost over! I decided to start this chapter from K.O.'s point of view so enjoy. :)
Chapter 14
(Knock Out's P.O.V.)
As Stormwing looked at Geetee, I saw something change. Her optics went from her ruby-red to a Dark Energon purple. I reached out a servo and touched her shoulder plating.
"Stormwing?" I asked cautiously.
She didn't seem to hear me. Instead, she flew at Geetee and threw her away from the door. Geetee landed on the other side of the room. She scrambled to her pedes and she glared at Stormwing.
"So you want to protect your little secret? Well, it won't be a secret for very long." she snarled and she activated two daggers.
Now, I know Geetee had been in a couple of battles since she arrived on Earth. But, I knew she wasn't experienced enough to take on a former Autobot warrior. Geetee charged at Stormwing. I would have stepped in between, but I wasn't about to let my paint job get ruined because of a femme fight. Stormwing remained where she was until Geetee was a few feet away. She sidestepped Geetee, who had been ready to land a blow. Geetee skidded to a stop and she whirled around. She growled in frustration and transformed into her vehicle mode, a bullet bike just like Arcee's alt mode. She transformed back into her bipedal mode and flew at Stormwing. Stormwing kicked Geetee with such force that it sent the royal blue femme flying across the room and she crashed into a wall. She must have hit it hard because her optics closed, rendering her unconscious. I looked at Stormwing with wide optics. She had never let her anger out like that before. Suddenly, her optics changed back to their original ruby-red color. She looked around the room, confused.
"What happened?" she asked.
(Stormwing's P.O.V.)
"What happened?" I asked.
I looked around the room. The last thing I remembered was standing beside Knock Out, now I was halfway across the room. I saw Geetee passed out on the other side of the room. I looked over at Knock Out, who was looking at me in disbelief.
"What happened?" I asked again.
"You mean, you don't remember?" Knock Out asked.
I shook my helm. I don't even know why Geetee was passed out.
"You...attacked Geetee." Knock Out said carefully.
I looked at Knock Out in disbelief. I mean, I know I tackled her to the ground, but I didn't hurt her. Plus, I would have kept my cool and try to reason with Geetee before engaging her in any kind of violence.
"I didn't attack her." I protested.
"Yes you did." Knock Out said. I shook my helm in disbelief.
"Then why can't I...?" I was about to say remember, but Megatron's voice came through the speaker overhead.
"Stormwing, Knock Out, report to the Bridge. And leave Geetee where she is. She should wake up soon." Megatron said.
How did...? Soundwave. I sighed and I walked over to the exit.
How did I attack Geetee while I was blacked out?, I asked myself
"Ah Stormwing, Knock Out. So glad you two could witness the making of a new and improved Earth." Starscream said when we had made it to the Bridge.
We came to stand beside the SIC. The Omega Lock was nearly complete and Soundwave was making last minute calculations. Megatron was giving orders.
"Soundwave, move the ship into position. I want to be ready." Megatron said to the TIC. Soundwave obeyed, typing into the database the exact coordinates. Starscream smirked.
"Finally. Good riddance to a wretched race." Starscream said.
"Although I must say they manufacture some fine-looking automobiles." Knock Out added. Starscream and I gaped at him. We looked at each other and we shrugged. Knock Out will be Knock Out. We turned our attention back to the scene going on. Just then, a Vehicon's voice came through the speaker overhead.
"Lord Megatron, Predaking is on a rampage and is currently moving towards...ah!" the Vehicon's com link went to static. I looked over at Megatron, who was silent for a moment.
"Soundwave, remain here while Knock Out, Stormwing, Starscream and I take care of this problem." he said finally and he turned and walked towards the exit. He walked past us and we followed. We exited the control room and we walked through the halls in silence. Finally, Starscream broke the tense atmosphere.
"Master, how will you handle the beast?" he asked.
"We'll see how His Majesty handles the strongest weapon in our vault: the Dark Star Saber." Megatron said.
We walked past an open corridor. Suddenly, we heard a crashing and screeching sound. We turned our attention to the where the noise had come from and we saw a Vehicon trooper lying there, unmoving. We looked up to see Predaking throw two more Vehicons into the walls on either side.
"Megatron!" he roared.
"I'll just go fetch that...little something we talked about." Knock Out said quickly and he ran in the direction we had just come.
"Is it true, that you ordered the annihilation of my army?" Predaking growled.
"Indeed. And my only mistake was not seeing the extermination through." Megatron said calmly and he activated his gladiatorial saber. Predaking unsheathed his claws and he charged at Megatron. Megatron got into a defensive stance . Before Predaking could slash out at our leader, Megatron sidestepped his attack and slashed at him with his saber. Predaking didn't seem affected because he whirled around and hit Megatron. The blow was so strong that it sent Megatron flying down the hall. Megatron got up, but he wasn't quick enough to see the Predacon charging at him. Predaking started hitting Megatron, hard enough that Megatron couldn't react fast enough to land a blow of his own. Finally, Megatron recovered fast enough to stop another blow from the beast. They locked servos and they roared at each other. Predaking started to push Megatron back. Starscream lifted his arm and shot a missile at the beast. It hit Predaking in the back, stunning him long enough for Megatron to flip onto his back and used his pedes to throw the Predacon into a room behind him. The beast crashed into the door of one of the air locks.
"Yes, that's the spirit. I wasn't a champion of the Pits of Kaon only for my savage might, but also my cunning!" he growled. I looked over at Starscream, who was watching with interest.
"Nice shot." I said.
"Thank you." he said and he started walking towards the room. I followed. Suddenly, we saw the air lock open. Predaking held onto the sides of the door, trying desperately to not lose his grip. Megatron walked over to the beast, his blaster powering up.
"You should have heeded my advice and faced me as a beast!" he roared and he lifted his blaster and shot Predaking. Predaking lost his grip and went flying out of the ship. Megatron gripped the sides of the door and looked out of the ship, searching for any signs of the beast. Starscream and I quickened our pace. We rushed into the room and Starscream pushed a button on the control panel beside the door we had just came through. The air lock shut.
"Bravo my liege. It isn't everyday that one witnesses the extinction of a species all over again." Starscream said and he smirked.
"One ultimate weapon, coming right up." a voice said behind us. We turned to see Knock Out walking in, carrying the Dark Star Saber. He looked around in confusion.
"Where's tall, dark and scaly?" he asked.
Suddenly, a Vehicon's voice came through the speaker ahead.
"Lord Megatron, the warship is under attack...by the Autobots." the Vehicon said.
"But the warship is cloaked. How is this possible?" Starscream asked in confusion. Suddenly, I realized how this could have happened.
"Ratchet." I hissed.
"The medic lives! Mobilize whatever remains of our forces. The Omega Lock must be protected at all costs." Megatron ordered, taking the Dark Star Saber from Knock Out.
"If Optimus Prime wishes to stage a battle, than this will be our last stand." Megatron growled, holding up the Saber. It started to glow. I unsheathed my talons.
"Long live Megatron." I said darkly.
Like I said, I will try to post the last chapter or chapters today. I don't know if I should do an epilogue or what but I'll think about it while I'm at work. Please review? :)
