One-shot

Con rule 459

Megatron had ordered his medic to be rescued, it was clear the Decepticons needed their medic. Breakdown was Knockout's assistant and the vain doctor was good at his job, and Megatron could not afford to lose him to the insane human group known as MECH.
Starscream led the rescue team along with Dreadwing, Skyquake and Vehicons as well, when they blasted through the walls MECH was no match for the firepower thrown at them. Every single human from the group MECH was eviscerated, aside from Silas who stood in front of the Cons.
"Ah, Silas, where is Knockout or do I just eviscerate you here and now?" Starscream demanded as Silas just sneered at him.
"Skyquake, do it," Dreadwing ordered as Silas was fired upon destroying the evil human once in for all.
"Spread out search the area for Knockout," Starscream ordered.
"We found him," one of the Vehicon's said.
Starscream was shocked that Knockout didn't have more damage done to him.
"Wait Starscream, we have to rescue them too," Knockout said.
"Who?" Starscream asked as one of the Vehicon's came out.
"Commander Starscream, you have to see this," the Vehicon said.
Starscream frowned and followed the Vehicon, and his optics widened at the scene before him. Optimus Prime was badly damaged and with him was the human known as Jack Darby. The human looked like he was in very bad shape and the two other human pets Miko and Raf were also there with Prime.
Optimus groaned and coughed up energon, his one optic flickered while the other one was completely destroyed. Starscream frowned and approached Optimus when Knockout came in.
"Don't hurt him or the humans, they protected me and took the torture in place of me," Knockout explained. "I claim them under the Con rule 459," he added.
"What? He protected you so you would not be tortured, how is this even possible?" Starscream asked as he motioned to Skyquake and Dreadwing to release Optimus and carry Optimus.
Starscream leaned down and collected the three human younglings, while Knockout told him the story of what he knew but they also got recordings that filled in the rest of the story for them.
What they see on the recording…
Optimus Prime was cornered and then fought Silas's man-made robots and abruptly thrown against the wall. The man-made robot which they tried to make resemble Optimus Prime but did a horrible job at doing.
Optimus watched in despair as each of his soldiers fell one by one by those monstrous man-made robots. Optimus gave a battle cry and ran toward the man-made robots and sliced them apart until several of MECH's men fired suppression fire at Optimus making her collapse onto the ground.
Darkness swallowed him alive as he fell into stasis, and then the real horror began…
Xxxxx
Optimus screamed out in pain as Silas had his men do awful tortures to him, and then Optimus saw the children.
"P….Please let the children go, they did nothing to you, S….Silas," Optimus begged.
Silas laughed as Optimus saw the fact Ratchet had tried to rescue them and was slaughtered, he could only sob now. His Autobots were destroyed, the three younglings were prisoners with him in a cell, and didn't know what to do now.
He saw Knockout was a prisoner too, when was all this butchery going to end?
He slowly got to his foot pedes and when they were ready to torture Knockout Optimus got ready and fought back.
"E….Enough killing Cybertronians…ENOUGH!" Optimus roared as he slammed the few man-made robots away from the Decepticon medic who was shocked but thankful.
Knockout could see how badly damaged Optimus was but he protected him, and suddenly the Decepticon medic saw Optimus in a new light.
The recording stops …
Megatron looks shocked as he turned toward Optimus who was on the medical bay.
"His Autobots are all gone?" he asked Knockout.
"Apparently, and they human younglings are all of the human allies left that the Autobots had," he answered.
"They stay here on the Nemesis then," Megatron ordered. "Prepare quarters for them, and Starscream get items for the human younglings make a list and get fuel and whatever else they need. Then make sure there are sufficient amounts of everything for them and also we will find Shockwave perhaps he can come up with a way to turn them Cybertronian in the future," Megatron replied.
"As you wish, Lord Megatron," Starscream answered as he bowed his helm with respect.
Megatron went into the medical bay and the human younglings were in another part of the medical bay. Megatron sat by brother in arms and Optimus onlined briefly before being forced back into medical stasis.
"You and the children will stay with us, you are more of a friend than I gave you credit for," Megatron replied.
Optimus saw Megatron slip his hand into his and squeeze his hand tight.
"Friends forever," Megatron replied.
Optimus nodded.
"Good, you rest now and know our brother bond will form once more," he said as he finally felt so much better knowing his old friend was there.
"T…..Thank you, M…..Megatron," Optimus replied.
Megatron gave a nod, and as he thought back on the situation. He felt he had finally done the right thing and was making his best friend back his brother in arms.
The End…..
