Chapter 12-The Unthinkable
Megatron vented deeply, he was currently reading over reports from the Energon mines. But, his optics looked passed them, the lines of words unfocused and blurry as his thoughts wandered. And they always wandered to the same place, Eleanor.
It had been three months? He knew it felt like a agonizing eternity though.
He was well busy though, establishing himself even more as the suspicions wore off with time. But there was one who refused to relent when it came to it, Starscream, the traitorous vulture.
He kept looking, kept digging and prodding him as well as Soundwave for related data.
It was to say the least, unnerving.
Megatron suddenly got a ping from Soundwave saying Starscream wanted an audience with him, that's odd. Starscream has never really asked for a audience with him before, his brows furrowed as he quickly stood and made his way to the Bridge of the Nemesis.
When he arrived, Starscream stood at the main controls overlooking a grey and stormy sky, lighting flickering all around them. Some Vehicons stood at other computers, where Soundwave as well as his two Medics were, that was until Starscream turned and put the focus on him.
"Lord Megatron, I have solved our problem!" He proclaimed, waiting for an applause that never came.
"And what problem may that be?" He growled, he looked annoyed on the outside but inside his spark began to race.
"Why, the very one that had distracted you my Lord." His spark stopped.
"...What?" He said with wide eyes.
"Soundwave, the map." He turned to the screens were a map appeared, one of Earth over the British Islands, there triangulated in the middle of England itself was a set of coordinates, familiar coordinates.
"I and my Seeker Armada traveled to this location after painstakingly triangulating it from you're trips." Megatron's servo clenched hard enough to make Energon spill. "But what we discovered was quite odd, in these woods here we found a single human settlement, since we didn't know what exactly caught your attention my Liege we simply flattened the entire forest, burning it to a crisp."
Megatron's Spark burned with sorrow and hate, his optics narrow and he felt the pinpricks of tears but held firm.
Starscream turned back and said. "Now that wood has gone, your sole attention shall only be on the conquering of this world and the destruction of the Autobots and those Humans they love so much."
There was silence, a tension billowed from Megatron's form, his optics downcast in shadow, his servos clenched with Energon streaming from both of them and a slight rattling from his armor.
In a flash of unseen speed, Starscream was pinned to the main controls, when he stared up at his attacker he yelped in terror, instead of red optics of Megatron they burned pure white and when he spoke every fiber in every being in close proximity rattled in resource with the spoken words.
"I will end you for the sin you have committed against me, you will suffer and I will see to it that it last for an eternity!"
He raised his right arm, the blade extending before he slammed it down onto the seeker's chest right just above his Spark Chamber, he screamed in agony and pleaded for mercy.
Megatron revealed in Starscream's pain, it caused his own to subside just a little.
Then he heard another voice break through his revelry and anguish.
'You would protect her until you're dying breath, you would make those that hurt her suffer. You truly do love her, don't you?'
He looked to see that the Bridge had disappeared and in its place was a sea of blue with a pure white sky above. And standing there was a mech of elegant armor of white, silver and blue. One he had seen in ancient text before.
"Primus…?" He smiled, before he said.
'Indeed my child, and I have come here to tell you something of importance.'
Megatron was shell shocked, he stood before the creator of all cybertronians!
"W-What is it?" He said, a reverence in his voice.
'It was not a mere accident that brought you to Eleanor, no, it was fate that brought you together.' Megatron's optics widened. 'What you're future holds though is something I can't tell you yet, but you must begin the journey to your true destiny. Go to the Sea, West of the Wood near the Isle of Man, their in the depths you will find the catalyst.'
Before he could say another word, the world went black.
