Hello again! Thank you all who review,follow and favorite. You know i thought this story wouldnt be read at all but you guys prove me wrong again and again. So sorry for the short chapter last time. And summer is almost over and i haven't even reached the middle of the story! But enough of my chit chat lets get on with the story.
Melissa's POV I finished my food slowly tasting just to see if Knockout put something in it. After a while i finished it but i was still expecting something to happen. Amything really. I slowly got up from the floor of my cage. After Knockout bought my food we came right back and he left me in this little cage. I started pacing thinking of how i could escape. I could try and go through the bars of the cage but then again its way too thin for me to fit through. Maybe when Knockout takes me out i can slip out of his grip and make a run for it. Then again i might not survive the fall since well it would be very high. I held my head. Maybe i cant get back. I went to the shadowy back of my prison. I head the med bay's doors slide open. Turning to look who came in i see Breakdown. Mentally i wanted to ask where was his parrot but seeing that im unprotected at the moment i dont think that such a good idea...
"What do you want?" I ask instead. "Knockout is busy so he told me to give you your shot." He answered as he went to a table. I groaned not knowing how many doses they could've given me while i was asleep yesterday and how many ill still have to get. "Don't be so down femme." Breakdown said as he grabbed me. "What do want to feel then?! Im trapped here with noone to talk to, my sparklings arent with me, Bee must be worried sick about me, and you guys arent helping by making me your lab rat!" I yell as i cross my arms. At least Breakdown lets me some freedom by letting me move my arms. "When this are over youll thank us. Or hate us." He answers as he jams the needling into my arm. "Ow." I said as i see the clear fluid slowly decrease in the needle.
I hear Breakdown mutter something like a sorry before he put the shot down. He walks out with me still in his hand. "Isnt Megatron gonna be mad for you taking me out of my little 'paradise'?" I say as i look around. "He personally ask for you in the command room." Breakdown answered as i sigh. Not him again. "Look fleshy you dont like us and most of us dont like you but..." He says before i interrupt him. "What do you mean by 'most of us dont like you'? Some cons like me?" I ask. "Some vehicons are into human femmes." He says as i cowered down knowing that anything could happen now and no Bee or Blurr to save me.
Breakdown and i finally reached the command room where Megatron, Soundwave and Knockout were waiting for us. As we got closer i heard stuff like "...Turning into..." Or "Will be like..." But when i was close enough to hear they stopped. "Ah Breakdown thank you for bring the human. You are dismissed." Megatron said he held out his hand for me. Breakdown's hand flatten so i could go over to the tyrant's palm like a trained pet. Rolling my eyes i stood up and walked over. I crossed my arms as i expected talons to close around me. Instead he brought over to the others. Knockout started poking me making me feel very uncomfortable. "Still skin and flesh." He said as he stopped. "So might wanna tell us where the autobot base is at?" Knockout asked.
"Like i would tell you." i responded. Knockout rolled his optics. "Seeing that you know that you and Orion Pax wont be able to leave why dont you two get acquainted? But just remember that Soundwave hears and sees all." Megatron said as his digits wrapped around me tightly. The grey mech started to walk out hopefully taking me to Optimus.
It was a quiet long walk. I could sense tense air as Megatron strode forward. Luckily we got to Optimus before i had to talk or yell at Megatron for some random reasons. The door slides open to reveal Optimus typing on a computer. Megatron throw me onto the key board making me slide towards Optimus or Orion. I slowly get up to see Orion giving me a questioning look. "How is Project Iacon coming along Orion?" Megatron asked. "I must admit that i am quite rusty." He answers as he gently nudged me aside. "i think i would say otherwise Orion." Megatron said. Megatron pushed a button on the key board making a picture of Optimus appear on the screen.
"Why does history portray me siding with the Autobot aggressors? And why did Starscream call me a Prime? I must know...who am I?" Orion asked. I walked over to his digits and put my hand on it. It must be hard for a person not to know who they really are. "You are my clerk." Megatron answers plainly. "Now get back to work." He adds while heading to the door. "No." Orion says. "What?!" Megatron demands. Orion goes for a letter pushing it. The whole screen that was full of cybertronain word go blank and the decepticon symbol appears on the screen. Megatron laughs darkly surprising me. "You dont think that we would be recording everything you do Orion?" The tyrant walked up and pressed a symbol making the words come back up.
Soundwave comes through the door with something on his screen. Turning away from Optimus Megatron went with Soundwave. I look at the screen trying to read it since thankfully Ratchet had been teaching me and Raf cybertronain when he wasnt busy. I recognize numbers. I turned back to see Megatron cornering Optimus with his blade out. "You will finish project Iacon even if i have to carve out your spark in front of your very eyes." Megatron says as he and Soundwave walk out. "So little one who or what are you?" Orion asked as he came towards me. I cant tell him who he really is but that doesnt mean i cant talk to him.
"My name is Melissa Jorge Gonzales Esquivel. My teachers used to call me Melissa Esquivel. And my friends call me by my nickname Honeybee." I said. "Melissa" he repeated. "Im human from that beautiful marble youre orbiting around." I added as i looked at his blue optics. They still had the same compassion they had when he was Optimus Prime. "So you are organic?" He asks. I nod ,walking over to the edge of the counter and sitting. Orion sighed as began typing again. "Ya know that Megatron is going to kill you even if you finish?" I suddenly blurt out. Orion stops to look at me. "Then we must go and find the autobots." Orion said before two vehicons come through the door.
They position themselves behind Orion. He starts to type slowly. I curl up as i feel so helpless. Orion gently nuzzles me with his finger. "Get back to work!" One of the vehicons order. The tone of his voice makes both me and Orion jump slightly. Orion turns around. "I believe that Megatron will use the information he is agglomerating for nefarious purposes. We could warn the autobots..." Orion states as he goes towards the guards. Suddenly the guard punches him sending him to the ground. The other one starts to kick Orion with the other following his lead. "Stop! You bustards!" I yell as i get up. The one of the vehicons throws me onto the floor on top of Orion. I grunt and moan in pain as i land hard on the poor bot.
After a few minutes of the abuse a guard says something he shouldnt have. "You have to admit, it's a privledge to stomp a former leader of the Autobots." I think that was it for Orion. "Arg! No! Please!" He begged but sadly the vehicon just continued. "Enough!" Orion said as he brought out his blasters." I'm... I'm armed?" He asked as the guards too brought out their weapons and at Orion shooting him. I closed my eyes thinking that my last hope of ever getting out of here with Optimus. I opened my eyes to see Orion getting up with the vehicons offline on the floor. "Are you okay?" He asked as he carried me in his palm. "Ya, but are you?" He nodded while we walked out.
"So do you know a way to get out of here?" Orion asked me. "Not really. This place looks the same. But i think its... There." I answered as i pointed to a room. He shrugged but went in. Luckily i got it right. It was the ground bridge room. "Lucky guess." I say as we look at the controls. "Megatron's coordinates are still locked on." He says as he turns it on. The green portal flares to life and we take our leave. I look back to see Soundwave looking at us but making no effort to stop us.
On the other side i see Megatron standing near the another bridge. Orion puts me down as he knows that he'll have fight with him. "Good luck. I have faith in you Orion." I say as i walk into the shadows. I gasp as i see Bee,Blurr, Bulkhea and Ratchet knocked out cold. I run over to Bee. "Bee? please wake up. Please." I beg as i nudge him. Damn im so fricken small that i cant even wake him up. I go over to the others but its the same thing. Sighing and at the verge of tears i look up to see that Orion is down but Arcee came just in time to stop Megatron from killing him. I see Jack coming from the super sized bridge and ran over. "Jack?" I ask as i see him in a suit that looks from the future. "Melissa?" Jack answers. "I havent been gone long but yet you become a soldier from those science fiction movies?" I ask while Orion drags himself to Jack. Jack shows him the key to vector sigmia earning him a "Am i worthy?" question from Orion. "You have no idea." Me and Jack say at the same time.
I look speechlessly as Orion's chest plates open to let a beam of energy in. I look back to see that Arcee is thrown towards the others while Megatron is coming at Orion with his spark set on killing him. Thankfully his chest plates close and he stands up. Right before Megatron's blade goes through his body Optimus catches it. "Megatron, be gone." Optimus Prime says as he pulls his battle mask up. I smile as i jog over to the others who seem to be waking up. /Melissa?/ Bee chirps. "Hi guys." I say as i wave at them. "You are in so much trouble..." Arcee starts off. "Yeah i know but i kinda learned my lesson." I said as i hear Ratchet calling for a bridge. "But its good to have you back. Both of you." Arcee finished. Jack walks over but Arcee grabbs him and jumps through the bridge. "Ready to go?" Blurr asks. "Ready as i'd ever be."
When we cross through i see the familar faces of June,Miko,Raf, Fowler and my twins. Without a second thought i run over to Raf and my kids. "I missed you guys so much." I say as tears floe down my cheeks. "We missed you too Honeybee." Raf says as we hug each other. He lets go and walks down the cat walk. I go to the baby carriages that have Hot Rod and Raven inside. The two giggle and clap while chirping god knows what but i think they missed me. I gently took them into my arms carrying them to where Bee is waiting for me. /Please dont ever do that again Mel./ He whirls sadly. "I wont Bee." I answer. Well ill try not too.
I look at the others who crowded around Optimus. Ratchet comes up beside him. "Optimus, it has truly been our darkest hour, but know this: from every indication your spark never ceased being that of an Autobot." Ratchet declared.
So did you like this? Please tell me if the characters are too OOC for your liking. And know i must eat this cookie-brownie. It amazes me the creations us humans make by putting the best things together to make it even better.
