rescue Megatron, the bots need his help

Chapter 5

Arcee is sneaking through the vents. Soundwave use the excat vent to get to Megatron. She goes as quietly as she can. She hears Soundwave signalling her that she is right above him. She nods, she crawls to the nearest vent. As she did she keeps hearing cries, muffles. She wonders, she keeps going until she stops. As she peeks through the vents, she sees him. Her eyes widen in horror. He is torn apart, his arms, legs, body are all apart from him. Shd doesn't know what to say. She coms them. Magnus is sneaking through the other way. Going from room to room. He stops right where the door is at. He is surpise that Prime didn't appear, or any alarms went off. Soundwave is really good. He opens the door, he sees Arcee already trying to talk to Megatron.

"Megatron...you up"

Ultra Magnus goes to look around. He is wondering where he can unlock the chains around him. He sees lot's of devices. Megatron groans as he looks at Arcee.

"Hey, are you still here, with us"

"Yes...I'm...still here" Megatron growls in pain. "I'm so glad you are here"

"Don't say anything. Come on, we have to get out of here" Arcee says

Ultra finds the keys, to unlock the chains. Arcee shakes her head, what can they do. Soundwave did mention that he is torn apart, but they didn't think literally. Arcee looks at Magnus, what now. He shakes his head. "Let's go, we must hurry, the others are waiting" Magnus picks up Megatron upper body, Arcee gather the rest. She opens the door and in comes Bulkhead with a big bag. Arcee places everything in the bag. "Let's go"

Prime is watching every minute of it. He made soundwave believe that the camera's are off. He made him believe that the alarm system is off. Prime knows better, he knew that they will come one day. He got surprise to see Arcee, his brother Magnus helping him escape, How could they. Megatron took everything away from him. They are helping him like nothing happen. Prime is waiting for the right moment. He wants to stop them, he can end them right now. He wants to know how far they can go. He turns to his army. As they get ready to fight he holds up his hand. "No, don't go after them. I'll like to see what they are planning"

"They are trying to stop you" One of them said

"You know they can't" He says "I know what to do. Right now, let's wait, let them attack first, and I will strike back harder"

Five weeks have pass since they rescue Megatron. It's also been five weeks since Prime did anything. They haven't heard from him at all. Megatron is slowly healing from being weilded together. Ratchet, Wheeljack and along with Knockout, try thier best to put him together. He is resting now, trying to go through this pain. He sighs, as he looks at his body. He can still feel his body is torn apart. He is glad that that nightmare is over, he glad that he is safe away from Prime. He can now move his arms, along with his legs. He is glad, he can now walk, but not as fast. He is taking it one step at a time. He is walking around base until he sees Arcee. She is sitting down, looking at a picture in front of her. He looks to see who is in the picture. His spark weakens. In the picture is Optimus holding Bee in arms. He looks closely, Prime looks so happy there. Megatron shakes his head, Why would he kill Bee. He didn't mean to kill him. He continues to walk.

"Megatron. glad you are awake. We have to talk" Magnus says.

"Of course..."

Magnus leads him to his room.

"Now striaght to the point. How can we stop Prime?" Magnus says

"Um...We have to kill him" Megatron says

"Of course...killing is our only option"

"It is! That power that he has, there is no stopping it. It took control over him. That Red power...Prime is dead. That one that has been ruling us...is somebody else. We have to kill it, to free him"

"Prime is not dead. He is lost, He...is..."

"Prime is gone!" Megatron yells "He is no longer with us. We have to kill him. Before his powers grow"

"What power is it...where did he get it from?" Magnus ask

"I don't know. But Soundwave and I are trying to figure it out"

"Okay, suppose we do kill him, How should we? How can we?"

"The heart. We have to stab his spark" he says "he is too strong though, we have to think of a way to trap him, then we stab him"

"That easy huh..." Magnus rolls his eyes. "Killing him, that won't work. There got to be another way"

"Prime is gone Magnus. Optimus Prime is dead. We have to free his body, so he can rest easy"

"He is not dead!"

Megatron sighs. Magnus shakes his head.

"That power..." Magnus starts "Is it the same power you felt when you stabed Bee?"

Megatron eyes wide by the question. He doesn't know what to say. He doesn't remember anything that day. Now that he is thinking about it, yes, he felt this power before. He felt it when the explosion went off, he felt it when he was holding the gun to the young bots head.

"I did..." he says "I felt that kind of power. It took control over me, and I just...let it happen. That's why...Bee was killed. Something, or someone took over me. Prime is under control by something" He then sighs "No, I think this is Prime's true powers. His real power unleash"

"Look, I know he is hurting, But I don't think he will go this far. I know he won't just kill, take over everyone. It's not him"

"Maybe, but deep down, maybe he always felt that way. Now that he can, he is free" Megatron says

"ENough!" Magnus sits down. "Don't make excuse, You killed Bee, You took everything away from him. I don't want to hear this, controling power thing"

Megatron sighs "I know but this power, I wanted to rule all."

"Shut up"

Soundwave walks in with papers. He scouted everywhere. He look around the places they have been. He even went back to where Bee...was killed. He's been scanning all over the place. He found results, hopefully this helps. Megatron reads over the work. He gasps.

"I knew it. I was being controlled into killing Bee"

"I said enough"

"No...there is this energon. Red energon. There was red energon around the area. Prime and I were the only ones affected. This red energon, makes you feel anger, so much anger, it spikes up your adreline. " Megatron sighs "I wanted to kill, then I got affected and I wanted to kill so much more. I didn't mean to kill Bee. But I did anyways. We have to stop him. Before he spreads this red energon"

"He already has. He has an army full of the energon. His Red army. Maybe there is a cure. Soundwave search for a cure" Magnus orders. Soundwave looks at Megatron, he gives the nod. Off he goes, to find out if there is a cure. "That red power, is just red energon."

Optmus hears crashes. He shakes his head, that soon. He thought the bots are going to wait a little longer. It's been eight weeks since Megatron escape. They thought of a plan that soon. Prime shurgs, he's been ready. He saw everything. He heard everything. He knows their plan, but he should play along with it. Maybe, they can stop him. He laughs, there is no way they can. This power he got, no one can stop him. He hears a crash right near his door. He thinks about what to do, should he get ready to fight, or act like, he didn't know what was happening. Should he act surprise. He hears the door banging. He shrugs he will just go with the flow. He hears footsteps above him. The vents, someone is going to sneak behind him if he goes for the door. Smart, but not smart enough. He is going to see this through.

The door bust open, in comes Magnus. He jumps to give Prime a kick. Prime dodges it, Bulkhead swings his arm, he dodges that. He sees two other bots, Wheeljack, smokescream charging at him. He gets both of them, he makes them crash to each other. He looks to see Megatron charging at him. Prime smiles, he is going to end him here, but his smile vanishes when he feels a shock in his leg. Arcee shot him, but with what. He sees Megatron, he braces for impact. Megatron kicks him so hard, that he flies out the window, he lands hard, right in his back. Prime growls in pain, now that was surprsing, He gets up, he feels a sharp pain right on his back. That fall did hurt him. He gets up to see his army already fighting the bots. He wonders, what are they using, did they find something to fight against his power. He feels a sharp hit right on his stomach. He flies back. Megatron is already attacking him. Prime yells out as he fight his long time enemy. Megatron did his best, trying to keep up with Prime, but he is fast, strong, very different. Prime is now behind him and he hits him right on his neck, knocking out Megatron. He is holding him up now, he is about to shoot him but he gets hit. Arcee gets ready to fight.

"Don't make me hurt you" she says

He laughs as he drops Megatron. He runs to her. He swings his sword at her. She dodges it, he may be fast, but she is faster. She continues to dodge, hopefully this will slow him down. She is trying to make him tired. He follows her around, he is now concentrating, what and where can he catch her. She jumps over him, but he sees the moment. He grabs her leg, and he brings her straight down to the ground. She yelps in pain. Optimus lifts her up again, he slams her down. She yells again, Prime just stares at her.

"Prime...please...don't do this" she says

Optimus sighs "Mercy, always mercy...did anyone show mercy, when Bee was killed. Did Megatron stop..no...he kept going and he just killed Bee. I should kill too"

She tries to crawl away, but he stops her. "But...I won't kill you. You are coming with me"

Magnus catches him, holdng him by the neck. He tries to squeeze his legs around Prime's body. He squeezes his arms tighter around the Prime's neck. Optimus moves around, trying to throw his brother off. He jumps up, and falls right on Magnus. He had to let him go. Prime gets up, he stomps on Magnus chest.

"I thought I told you, not to get in my way" Prime says

"You need to stop this. We are done. We are tired of following your rules. This isn't Cybertron, this is not what we were fighting for."

"It all change, this is for the best. There hasn't been any crimes since I took over. It was all quiet, and peaceful"

"This isn't peace. We are not free, you have enslaved us" Magnus says "Optimus...this is not what you wanted"

Prime stomps on the bots chest. "I told you. This is for the better"

Magnus looks to see Megatron already charging with the sword. Prime feels it, he turns around and punches Megatron across the face. Prime grabs the sword away before Megatron hits the ground. Optimus swings the sword around. He looks at his enemy.

"Prime...wait...no" Magnus gets up to stop him. Prime shoots him, Magnus flies back with full force. "NOO"

Prime walks up to Megatron, he lifts the sword. "Prime...no. You are not going to keep me prisoner..."

"No, I'm going to end you right here...right now" He says

"No...please...this isn't the answer...You can't...please...Let me help you...I'll do anything..."

"You can't help me." Prime says "No one can"

"Please...I can..."

"You can't. If you can how? How will you get my son back. How will you save him. How will you bring him back to me?" Prime lifts the sword higher.

"I can't...You know...I..."

Megatron closes his eyes, waiting for the sword. He feels it, luckily it wasn't right in his spark. It got his shoulder. He opens his eyes, he is in so much pain, but he has to know what Prime is doing. He sees that Prime has been stab on his shoulder too. Magnus steps back, wondering why he stab him. But he had to do it. He sees Prime, all he did was take the sword off, and tosses it.

"You are really getting me mad." Prime growls. His eyes are now brighter, glowing bright red. Magnus gets ready to fight. Prime charges and both of the brothers' clashes. Magnus tries his bes to get Prime right on the chest. He is trying to kill him, he must, no matter how much it hurts. Prime is dodging, while hitting Magnus right on the side. Optimus grabs a sword and swings it, he cuts Magnus across his stomach. Magnus yells out, energon drips from his deep cut. He goes to one knee, trying to stop the bleeding. Optimus, standing over, he shakes his head. "Sorry brother...you must stop here" He lifts the sword, he is going to finish him.

"DAD!"

Prime stops cold. His spark stopping. He turns to see a young bot, charging at him. He blinks, he knows the young bot. "Strongarm..."

"NO Strongarm! Stay back!" Magnus yells

"Leave him alone! DAD!" she cries. She shoots at Prime. He stumbles back. He looks at her. "Please uncle Prime, stop this..."

She keeps running. Optimus stands up, he gets ready to swing his sword.

"NOO! Strongarm! Stay back! Don't come closer!" Magnus yells. "Prime...she is your niece. She is my daughter, she is blood. Please don't hurt her"

Prime charges up his power.

"NO NO NO!" Magnus cries

Prime looks at her. Her eyes, full of fear. Something, ache in his spark. He lowers his sword. He then shoot her, right on the leg

"NO NONO!" yells Magnus

"I don't ever want to see you. You get your daughter to safety" Prime says. He turns around, he walks away. Magnus crawls to Strongarm, and hugs her tight. His is shaking, his eyes, full of tears. Strongarm looks at her leg, it's all good, nothing damage. Magnus looks around, wondering if everyone is okay. Megatron takes the sword off. He notices that Arcee is gone.

"no...Arcee..." he yells

Prime drags Arcee to his room. He locks them in. He looks at her.

"What do you want?" she says

"I want you." he smirks "I want you to rule with me. I need a strong women, by my side. You are my wife, You should be with me. Next to the ruler"

"No. I will not join you. This isn't what we fought for"

"It's better"

He grabs her arms, and he lifts her towards a wall. She tries to fight him off, but he pins her down. He stares at her eyes. He can see it, he can see the pain in her eyes. Arcee can too, his eyes are still the same, dark, hurt. She blinks a few times. She cries, she looks away from him. He uses one hand to hold her arms, while the other, moves her chin to face him.

"Arcee..." he whispers "I still love you"

She blinks a few times. She doesn't know what to say.

"I'm lost, I'm hurting. I need you" he whispers.

He looks straight into her eyes. She melts, she shakes her head, she can't. She will not be next to him. She needs to fight for the others.

"Please...I need you"

He leans in to kiss her. She kisses him back. He moves to get her neck, to leave trails of kisses down her neck. He leans back to her lips. She moves her legs, to wrap around his waist. He moans. "I need you"

"No...I can't...we can't. I won't" she whispers

He takes a small bite on her ear. She gasps, that was always her weakness. She leans away, she feels her heart racing, her body on fire. He moves his down, to place right on her stomach. He messages it. He kisse her.

"I...must have you" He whispers

She brings him closer with her legs. She can't say no, she needs this too.

How can they stop him. What can Arcee do?
