Hello readers...here is another chapter for everyone! I wish everyone good luck on their finals and have fun if you are graduating! This week there are season finales for a lot of shows...so here is my season finale! No, don't worry it's not the final chapter but it's a big one! Be warned there is a lot of gore in this chapter as well.
I don't own Transformers Prime as the show is owned by Hasbro.
DesGhidorah is not mine either.
Ch. 32: Interrogation
"What's DesGhidorah?" Elisa asked nervously.
"It's part of a species of dragons known as Ghidorah." Galvatron answered. "The Ghidorah breed is the largest of the dragons and the most dangerous as it has three heads." He added.
"What about the Hydra?" Elisa asked curiously.
"What?" Both Galvatron and Cyclonus asked at once.
"Uuuuhhh a dragon that when you cut the head off of one, three more grew in it's place." Elisa answered.
"There is nothing like that here." Cyclonus answered.
"Sorry, it's a mythical creature our human friends told us about on Earth. Just thought I would ask." Elisa shrugged. Smokescreen had to smirk a little bit. "So how do we kill it?" Elisa asked.
"That, we don't know." Galvatron answered.
"Watch out!" Elisa cried out and everyone dove for cover when the DesGhidorah glowed red and explosions rattled the ground.
"Scrap." Smokescreen muttered as he clutched at Elisa tightly.
"What was that?" Elisa cried out over the dragon's roar.
"It's starting to do it's warm-ups." Galvatron shouted back.
"We need to get to higher ground!" Optimus shouted as the ground shook even more.
"Soundwave we need a groundbridge to Darkmount now." Megatron ordered. A bridge quickly appeared and everyone started scrambling. Elisa came up to Megatron and shouted when another explosion rang out with a roar that just seemed to get louder. Megatron held her steady as they both looked up to see the three-headed dragon spew fire from it's middle head. Even though it was far away from them Elisa screamed and clutched at Megatron as he ducked on instinct. When the glow of the flames simmered down Elisa gasped when she realized something.
"The Predacons." Elisa shouted before she started to run towards the dragon.
"Elisa where are you going!?" Megatron shouted as he ran after her.
"The Predacons are still out there." She shouted back before she leaped into the air and started flying. Megatron growled in frustration before he transformed and flew after her. Elisa did her best to stay low as DesGhidorah continued to roar. She kept trying to find their energy trail, but it was far too small compared to the giant energy DesGhidorah gave off.
"Elisa we have to go back. It's no use." Megatron called out. Elisa stopped and looked around in plains, but found no trace of the Predacons. She looked back at Megatron and shouted when she was hit hard by someone. She turned just in time to see Mecha tackle her to the ground.
"Get off!" She snapped as she tried to push him off. Megatron transformed and tackled him to the ground, but Mecha reacted fast and rolled so that he landed on top of Megatron. His robotic arm transformed into a drill and he slammed it right into Megatron's shoulder. Megatron shouted in pain as the drill went deeper into his protoform spilling energon. Elisa got on top of Mecha and bit right into his shoulder. Mecha snapped at Elisa and spun around to get her off, but she held tightly by her teeth. Transforming back into claws, Mecha used his hand to grab Elisa by the back of her neck and slam her down hard onto her back. She coughed and gasped for air as he stood over her.
RRRRRRREEEEEEEHHHHHHH
Mecha jumped back when Predaking's fire went right at him. All three predacons landed in a circle around Mecha and growled in warning.
"Oh my my…three predacons. I must be one with the Allspark." Mecha said with glee before Predaking charged at him. Mecha tried leaping in the air to dodge him, but Predaking was far too big and caught him easily. He pinned Mecha down and his chest glowed orange with fire as he roared in anger. The threat didn't phase Mecha as his metal claws transformed into a cannon and fired right into Predaking's mouth. He screeched in anger as smoke bellowed from his mouth. Mecha knocked Predaking off and charged back at Elisa, but Megatron got in front of her and started firing at him. Another explosion went off in the distance making the ground shake and Megatron stumbled back, but Mecha kept charging.
"Magma I need a bridge." He said quietly. He dodged the shots Megatron kept firing as a bridge opened behind them. Elisa looked at the bridge in confusion, but then yelped when Megatron was shoved into her and they went through the bridge with Mecha standing in front of them. Megatron reacted first and pointed his blade at the dragon as he only smirked. Mecha didn't moved, but instead Elisa screamed in fear as someone grabbed her and pinned her down. Megatron turned around and saw Magma pinning Elisa down. He shouted in pain when claws racked down his back drawing energon and fell to his knees.
"Let her go! Now!" Megatron shouted in protest, but snarled in pain again as the claws made him bend at the waist.
"Megatron stop" Elisa whimpered out.
"You have an audience Mecha." Magma said proudly.
"What can I do my Lord?" Mecha said elegantly.
"Whatever you can to get her to say yes."

Predaking blinked in surprise when Megatron, Mecha, and Elisa disappeared through the bridge. They didn't have time to wonder where they had gone as the large three headed dragon continued to roar and spew hellfire. The three pedacons scrambled out of the plains and head to safety. Once in a safe area Predaking called for a bridge and they were transported Darkmount.
"Where's Elisa?" Smokescreen asked.
"Where's Megatron?" Starscream asked at the same time.
"They were fighting a dragon with a mechanical arm when he shoved them both through a groundbridge." Predaking answered.
"Mecha." Optimus said gravely.
"What's that mean?" Smokescreen said fearfully.
"It means we have to find Elisa and Megatron immediately." Shockwave answered.

"Let him go! Please let him go!" Elisa pleaded as Mecha chained Megatron to the wall with his servos raised above his head. She tried to protest again, but Magma dug his claws into her back making her whimper instead and Megatron flinched slightly. Once Megatron was secure Magma released Elisa and quickly left the lab, leaving Elisa shaking as she tried to back away from an approaching Mecha.
"Get away from her!" Megatron snarled as he tried to push against the locks, but shouted when he received a shock.
"The more you move the higher the voltage." Magma said without even looking at him.
"Just let him go please." Elisa sobbed as she bumped into the wall and fell down shaking even harder now.
"Oh don't worry about him. Not yet anyway." Mecha said darkly. "Perhaps you can spare your little pet some grief if you answer my question correctly." He said before he grabbed Elisa and pinned her down on her back making her cry out in fear. "Will you be a good little femme for your Sire?" He asked in a frightening tone. Her eyes went wide at the dark question, but she knew her answer.
"No."
"I was hoping you would say that."
Without any warning Mecha grabbed Elisa and flung her across the room making her hit the opposite wall hard. Megatron's optics went wide as Elisa coughed for air. She tried to snap at him, but instead earned a harsh punch to her face making her fall down again. Pinning her down he racked his metal claws across her wings tearing the soft tissue. She didn't scream, but let out small whimpers with her eyes tightly closed as he went from one wing to the other.
"No! Don't!" Megatron shouted when Mecha grabbed her shoulder and bent her arm forward, snapping her arm instantly. Despite the shocks he was getting Megatron tried to get out of the cuffs, but nothing was working as Mecha slammed his fist on Elisa's hand shattering her fingers before twisting her wrist and breaking that as well. Megatron shivered at the screams of pain Elisa let out as her wrist, hand, and arm was broken in let than thirty seconds. Elisa started sobbing as Mecha stepped back to look at his handy work. "Mecha please don't hurt her. I'll do whatever you want just leave her be." Megatron pleaded.
"Oh I know you will, but is she willing to do the same?" Mecha said deviously. Elisa cried out as Mecha dragged her into the center of the room as she still was crying. She groaned when Mecha turned her over back onto her back and his drill appeared. She let out loud whimpers as Mecha teased her with the drill by bringing it close to her neck. Before Megatron could react Mecha slammed the drill into Elisa's bad arm. She let out a terrible high-pitch scream of pain as blood started to spatter the ground.
"No! GET AWAY!" Megatron roared before his knees felt weak from the shocks. Mecha stopped the drill and his claws appeared. He only laughed as he licked the blood off of his claws. Elisa let out bitter sobs as she tried to breathe normally. She continued to whimper as Mecha turned her onto her stomach and grinned up at Megatron. "Stop it…leave her alone!" Megatron snapped as he tried to pull in the cuffs again. Mecha only laughed before he stabbed his claws into Elisa's hip and dragged them right down to her ankle making her bleed even more. Elisa instinctively kicked at him and landed a blow to his head. As he recovered from the small blow Elisa started crawling towards Megatron. He continued to pull against the cuffs, desperately ignoring shocks traveling down his body. Mecha recovered fast and snatched Elisa up making her scream in fear as he grabbed her throat and started to choke her. Megatron's optics went wide as Elisa was lifted off the ground as she gasped for breath.
"St-stooop." Elisa moaned in pain.
"Are you going to listen to your Sire?" Mecha asked darkly. Elisa slowly shook her head no with tears coming down her face she knew that the answer meant more pain. Mecha huffed and flung her into the wall and she crumbled to the floor. She wasn't even able to get up as Mecha hovered over her and started to punch her in the gut and chest. Megatron gritted his denta and he started to feel energon on his wrists as he tried so hard to get free. He knew Elisa was failing as she wasn't even screaming anymore. It was too long before Mecha stopped punching and he wasn't even breathing hard. He smirked as he saw that Elisa was unconscious. "I'll be back when she wakes up." Mecha laughed before leaving.
Megatron let out a heavy sigh and slumped over in despair. He looked at Elisa's broken form and felt tears coming down his face. He bowed his head in shame and his body shook in bitter sobs as he felt ashamed of himself. His sobs came out in rasps as he felt so pathetic for not being able to protect Elisa. Not to mention that he too had hurt her once. He wanted nothing more than to take everything back. He should have listened to her and perhaps they wouldn't be in this position.
"Elisa…" He called out weakly. "Elisa…please answer me." He pleaded wanting nothing more than to hear her voice.

"We have a problem." Galvatron announced as he returned from his patrol with Cyclonous.
"I am well aware of the situation." Ratchet stated. Galvatron frowned but decided not to comment.
"DesGhidorah is getting stronger and soon it will be able to open it's wings." Galvatron explained.
"What are you suggesting?" Ratchet asked.
"We need to launch an assault." Galvatron stated.
"We don't have time for that. We need to find Elisa and Megatron." Ratchet snapped.
"I'm surprised you're even worried." Galvatron snapped back.
"Galvatron shut it." Cyclonous snapped. Ratchet glared at Galvatron in anger, but didn't comment.
"If you are suggesting an assault perhaps it is possible for the fliers to attack the dragon as the grounders can continue the search." Shockwave suggested.
"I'll get the others back here quickly." Ratchet said. They wasted no time and soon everyone was in teams with a plan of action.
"What happens when it opens it's wings?" Optimus asked.
"We won't be able to stay at Darkmount that's for sure." Cyclonus explained. Ratchet opened a bridge and the fliers, including the Predacons, went off to their target.

Elisa let out a small moan as her whole body was a beacon of pain.
"Elisa…" Somebody whispered out. She knew that voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't place it. It was someone she knew…she had to know. "Elisa…" The voice called out again. She blinked as her memories started coming back to her. Megatron…Megatron was here. She turned her head and saw Megatron staring at her.
"Meg…a…tron…" She rasped out.
"Elisa!" Megatron called out again. She let out a painful moan as she turned over and could barely lift her head to look at him. She tried to lift her head up, but it feel right back into her hands so she looked at him with her eyes and she saw that he was crying.
"Why are you crying?" She whimpered out. Even the act of breathing hurt her ribs so painfully and it made her wheeze in pain.
"I'm sorry Elisa. I'm sorry. I can't get out of these cuffs." He said sadly. She smiled up weakly at him and it broke his spark even more.
"Don't cry." She whispered as her eyes began to droop.
"Rest Elisa just rest please." Megatron said gently. She hummed in approval at his suggestion as she was already half asleep anyway. He let out a bitter sigh as she fell asleep. He knew it was only a matter of time before Mecha came back. Taking a deep breath and deciding not to waste any more time, Megatron started working on the cuffs as his shocks began anew.

AARRRRRRRRAAAYYYYYY
The predacons lead the attack as they opened fire on DesGhidorah's chest. They gathered in a formation they continued to use their fire as they got closer to it's chest. As they got closer there was a small explosion on DesGhidorah's chest and it jumped off it's front legs in anger. It started shooting fireballs as the predacons scattered. They were a distraction in the front as the other fliers attacked from behind and fired at it's back.
"All at once now!" Optimus shouted. The three other dragons and Soundwave and Starscream fired on the large dragon's back and it let out a high pitch roar of pain as multiple explosions went off on it's back.
"Look out!" Starscream shouted as it's tail swung right towards them. Luckily everyone dodged it and regrouped. Realizing it had multiple attackers DesGhidorah raised it's front legs and slammed down on the ground causing a massive earthquake as well as a sonic boom that sent everyone flying. Reacting even faster the middle head spit out fire right at the predacons and hit Predaking hard. He let out an angry screech as he was knocked to the ground, but quickly got back up and charged back into battle.
Activating his fire claws Optimus focused before swiping hard and sending a wave of red energy at one of it's heads. Galvatron and Cyclonus used their heatray as the wave hit the head. It twitched in aggravation as Optimus joined in with his red heatray. Not a few moments later there was another explosion and scales went flying as the beast started to bleed. All three dragons froze when the three heads turned and shot fireballs right at them. They didn't have time to dodge the blows and skidded to a stop on the ground. The predacons took over and fired again at the beast's chest. Starscream and Soundwave shot at what they could as they traveled through the air.
"I'm not sure this is a good idea." Galvatron huffed as he stood up on all fours.
"Wait…is that metal on it's back?" Optimus asked pointing.
"Hmmmm I believe it is." Galvatron answered.
"Is the creature more metal or organic?" Optimus said confused.
"The wings might be metal." Cyclonus suggested.
"Fliers concentrate all your fire power on it's back. It's wings might be made of metal and we can disable it's flying capabilities." Optimus said through a com link before taking off into the air.
"Oh…so that's why we have these." Galvatron teased making Cyclonus roll his eyes as they hurried off after Prime. The beast roared in frustration as the fliers started hitting it's back and he couldn't get a decent hit on any of them. However, Starscream wasn't paying attention and he got knocked out of the sky by it's tail. He landed hard and took a rough tumble while he transformed back into his bi-pede mode. Soundwave landed behind him and opened a bridge. Starscream's wings were heavily scratched and bleeding and he even had bad wounds along his side, not to mention that he was holding his helm in pain. Soundwave helped him through the bridge and Knockout hurried over to the seeker as Soundwave returned to the battle. He resumed firing at the dragon's back.
True enough they did start to see metal bits and they soon realized that the metal had been disguised as the wings were folded in. Bits of shrapnel started flying everyone and they knew they were close to destroying the wings, but DesGhidorah had a plan. Suddenly red sparks started flying from it's back, but because the damage was already done the energy the sparks caused an explosion that sent everyone reeling again. Even DesGhidorah let out another high-pitch roar of pain as black smoke bellowed off of it's back. Optimus let out a bitter groan as he stumbled to his feet. He watched the three-headed dragon stumble before falling over onto it's side in pain. The middle head reached out and let out another deep roar making Optimus suspect it was calling for something…or someone.
"Fliers we need to evacuate now!" Optimus ordered. A bridge opened not too far ahead of him and everyone scrambled through it as they were in no shape to fight Magma's tribe if they showed up.

Elisa jumped as the door opened with a bang and an angry Mecha entered the room slamming the door behind him.
"Your team disabled my dragon." Mecha growled before he slammed Elisa hard across the face making Megatron visibly flinch and Elisa cry out. Mecha continued to slap her hard and Megatron's optics went wide when he saw that her face was bleeding.
"Stop please." Elisa sobbed as she felt blood in her eye. Mecha only growled at her before he tossed her into the center of the room. His claws turned into a drill as he headed right for Megatron, making him tense up. "No…don't hurt him!" Elisa moaned in protest. Mecha ignored her as he punched Megatron in the gut making him grunt at the sudden attack. He growled bitterly when the drill dug into his shoulder and he instantly felt energon flowing down his arm. When he felt the inside of his protoform get hot from the fast drill, Mecha pulled away and his claws returned. Megatron growled when Mecha dragged his metal claws over Megatron's chestplates drawing more energon.
"Stop it!" Elisa called out even louder before having a painful fit of coughs. Mecha sneered and whacked Elisa back with his tail making Megatron snarl. Grabbing Megatron by the neck Mecha started punching Megatron in his gut. The pain started to get to him and he felt his knees weaken. Mecha smiled over him as he tugged on the cuffs sending a loud shock through Megatron and making him shout. Elisa let out a whimper as Megatron shouted. She gasped when Mecha activated purple fire claws and he slammed them into Megatron's shouted. She burst into tears when Megatron screamed in pain and more energon came out. Megatron groaned as the claws were slowly pulled out of his side. She took a deep breath before she charged at Mecha. He easily saw her coming and swiped at her. He hit right at her waist and blood spattered the floor as Elisa was flung into the wall again.
CRACK!
"NO!" Megatron shouted when he heard the crack. Elisa screamed as she crumbled to the ground clutching her broken hip.
"Stupid femme." Mecha sneered as he approached slowly with pride on his face.
"Mecha, I'll do whatever Magma wants. I'll do whatever you want, just please don't hurt her." Megatron begged.
"SHUT UP HUMAN!" Mecha roared and Elisa flinched and curled up into a ball. "Magma doesn't want anything from you! Don't you get it!?" He growled. "You are weak, insignificant, and useless! You deserve nothing more than to lay at our feet and bow to our every whim. Us dragons will always be superior." Mecha finished. Megatron glared at Mecha's eyes unafraid and didn't even blink. Before Mecha could strike Magma and his two sons came into the room.
"What do you plan on doing?" Magma snapped and Mecha huffed in frustration.
"As long as DesGhidorah can walk, everything will be fine." Mecha said annoyed.
"That's not good enough. We need to get things moving now!" Magma ordered. Megatron blinked in surprise as he recognized the body language Mecha was displaying.
"Elisa look out!" Megatron shouted. Magma blinked in surprise, but was too late to stop the attack from Mecha. Using fire claws Mecha stabbed right at Magma's spark. He gasped in pain before Mecha released him and he fell to the floor. Activating his drill he slashed at Rhodius's and Rising Dawn's throats and more blood spattered the walls. Elisa screamed as her brother's blood spattered across her face. Megatron's optics went wide as the other two dragons fell to the floor gasping for breath. He extinguished Rising Dawn's spark without a second thought. Rhodius tried to put up a fight, but one hit that exposed his bleeding throat and he was gone as well.
"How…how could…you?" Magma gasped as he clutched at his bleeding spark.
"You're a fool Magma, nothing but a spoiled little prime." Mecha sneered. "I was just binding my time and now I have what I want." Mecha grinned as his red eyes turned a familiar shade of purple Megatron knew all too well.
"Wh-what are you?" Magma asked in pure fear. Mecha only growled deeply in reply for a moment.
"Everything you were not."
With that Mecha thrusted his purple claws deep into Magma's spark making him thrash in pain. Elisa let out small scream as his spark finally went dark. Mecha turned towards Megatron and stood on two legs tall and proud as his true colors were revealed. While a bit of black remained his color was replaced by a glowing purple.
"Dark energon." Megatron stated.
