Chapter Ten
Several weeks later…
Optimus was still furious that Missy Rainer was not found, and the fact she had taken the minibots with her only infuriated him more. Well, that did not set too well with Optimus either, he just wanted her back and in prison not causing any danger until things could be sorted out.
Optimus was with Ironhide and some of his other soldiers at the shooting range firing at targets, but it was clear he was not thinking too clearly at all.
"This is illogical that this one human femme can elude everyone, I want her found and I want her found now!" Optimus ordered as his blaster destroyed all the targets in his fury. "She needs to be found now," Optimus growled as he started to walk away from his men to head for the main part of the base.
Optimus thought back to all her stories while it was true not all her stories were filled with malice toward him. She had written some where he found love with a human, and was happy. A sad, but rare smile touched his lips, he wanted to be happy.
Primus he had been alone for so long, being a commander and Prime and back on their home planet none of the femmes ever bothered with him.
It hurt. He wanted to find love.
He reached into his subspace bringing out his data pad that contained her stories. He glanced over one that she wrote where there was interfacing, and he found himself becoming interested in the story and then he stopped.
"Oh Primus, what is wrong with me?" he said as he walked toward another hanger Sideswipe and his twin Sunstreaker watched from a distance.
"Think he is, okay?" Sunny asked.
"I don't know, he is distracted by that human girl," Sideswipe said.
Decepticon base…..
Starscream went into the throne room where Megatron was, and Megatron seemed to be in a particular nasty mood. Starscream hated approaching him when he was in this kind of mood.
"Master?" Starscream said.
"What is it?" Megatron asked.
"Soundwave learned what they are looking for?" Starscream answered.
Megatron looked at Starscream then very interested now.
Xxxx
"Did you find this girl, Soundwave?" Megatron asked.
"Negative," Soundwave said. "Laserbeak is on the lookout."
"Excellent. Then we shall commence the attack now," Megatron said.
The silver mech stood up, turning to his troops.
"Decepticons! We move out now!" Megatron commanded.
The mech transformed, blasting off into the sky.

Optimus put the data pad away. He sighed, going outside. He moved away from the hangers and soldiers, being alone as he stared beyond the base. He thought back on Missy Rainer. He enjoyed her sassiness. He loved how she wrote those romantic stories. He was starting to get a small attraction to her.
But why? He didn't like her. He was furious with her for writing stories of killing him and hurting him.
Yet... something attracted her to him.
"Primus," Optimus muttered.
He looked to the sky. His optics narrowed has he saw something in the distance. He didn't realize what it was until it was too late to move out of the way. A grenade hit the ground by his pedes, exploding and sending the leader flying back.
Optimus groaned, rolling to a stop on his side. He shook his helm, hearing a loud thump. He looked up to see his brother staring down at him with an evil grin.
"Hello dear brother," Megatron said.
"Megatron," Optimus growled.
"I'm surprised I caught you off guard. Something on your mind?" Megatron asked.
"Frag off," Optimus spat.
He grunted when Megatron put a pede on his side, turning him onto his back and pressing down on his abdomen.
"I must say, I do like you below me brother," Megatron said, pressing down more as he leaned down. "I've come to kill you. Decepticons! Attack the base! Optimus is mine."
Optimus looked up, scared for his troops and the humans. He struggled against the pede, trying to push his brother off of him. Optimus drove his knee up, hitting the back of his brother's leg. Megatron's leg buckled under him. Optimus pushed Megatron to the ground, pinning him down by straddling his chest.
"Well done brother. I never knew you had it in you to fight a bit dirty," Megatron taunted. He pushed to the side and flipped them over, his brother's legs still wrapped around his side. "But I am stronger."
Megatron pushed his brother down further into the ground before drawing out his sword. Optimus' optics widened, managing to wriggle free just as the sword came down.
Optimus turned, bringing out his own blades. He crouched into a battle position, not taking his gaze off his brother. Even hearing the fighting behind him, Optimus couldn't look away. It would be fatal to do so.
"You won't win, Megatron," Optimus said.
"We'll see about that Optimus," Megatron said, sliding into position.
The Decepticon smirked. He had a sneak attack planned. Hidden in his legs were hidden subspaces. And in those subspaces held daggers. Inside those daggers was a small mechanism.
When the right pressure is applied from being thrusted into something, a small button will pop out on the side. Hitting it will spring out barbs. Some held poison, but these ones didn't. That is his ultimate trump card to defeating his brother. To get him when Optimus thinks he had won.
