Author's Note: I feel so sorry that I haven't been updating as much as I should've been. But school and stuff's been keeping me busy. I suddenly felt like writing this chapter after getting a review from Agent A.T. It has inspired me to make this chapter sorta angst. It contains a plot twist, too ^__^! Lol. There are also gonna be a few more original characters appearing soon. Anyways, (hopefully) enjoy!
Response to the Reviewers
Sierrakoi – My favorite authoress in the world ^__^! I'm glad you like it. Hope you enjoy the next one!
Unknown – Um....I can't say I understand what you're talking about.
Kittie – I knew I would get a few flames from killing off Cyclonus, but wow. I can't say I thought Cyclonus as adorable. I see him as annoying. But that's just me. I don't do yaio, because I don't really like it. I'm not against it, I'm just not gonna write it. I might add in some angst, though.
Phantom 1 – You're right, they aren't alive. Although I have no idea where that came from ^_^; Always appreciate the constructive criticism, and not flaming. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
ShadowHawk – Will do!
Shadowmaker – That's what I'm doing.
Agent A.T. – Apology accepted. I'm sorry that made you mad, but hey, I needed to save some of the argument for this chapter. And don't worry, I think it'll come out as you hoped. But I'm not sure, I'm not you, after all XD.
NEKO – Thanks! Glad you like it! When I started this story, I gotta say I didn't know about that TF episode. And I don't know if you sound like Simon, I never watched that show...
"What?!" shouted an un-happy Tim. "That's right." Said Optimus. "Optimus this isn't fair!" stated Tim. "Neither was killing Cyclonus! " replied Optimus. "Optimus, come on. He deserved it!"
"Tim, if you want to be an Autobot-" Optimus was cut off by Tim. "Who said I wanted to be an Autobot?!" Optimus was stunned, not knowing how to respond to that. "What were you gonna do? Capture the Decepticons and send them to prision? Only to find out they excape the next day?! They deserve to be killed. If we don't do that, then they will keep taking lives!"
"That's enough!" snapped Optimus. "I don't want to be harsh, but I'm going to give you one more chance." Before Optimus could continue, Tim spoke up. "Keep your chance, I'm outta here!" And with that, Tim stormed out of Optimus's office. The door to Prime's office opened up to several eavesdroppers. Rad, Carlos, and Alexis all quickly put on angry faces.
"Just what were you thinking?!" demanded Alexis. "Yeah, why'dya do it?" asked Carlos. Tim sighed. "Not you guys, too." Rad shook his head. "Come on, Tim. Why?"
Tm tried his best to contain his anger. They were his friends! "This is a war! We don't all hold hands and sing and dance under the shining sun! When you're in a war, death is expected. True, some avoid it, but avoiding death in battle is impossible! I thought at least you three would be on my side, but I guess I was wrong." Tim stepped over the humans, and quickly walked to the warp gate.
On the way, Tim ran into Over-Run. "Hey, man. You mad at me, too?"
"Actaully, I'm kinda neutral. I mean, I feel glad we got rid of a Decepticon, but I'm kinda upset that we killed him." Tim, for the first time since the Autobots returned, grinned, and continued walking. "Cool, I guess. I can tell you've been hanging around Prime. Listen up, Over-Run, I'm outta here. You coming with me?"
Over-Run nodded. "Of course. We are, after all, partners. Wherever you go, I go." Tim smirked. "Then where were you just a few moments ago?" "I uh...." Over-Run couldn't come up with a good enough excuse quickly enough. Tim laughed. "I'm just messin'. Let's go!"
Before either of the two knew it, they were warping out of the base.
------------------------------
Demolishor tried his best to stay hidden. He and the other four Decepticons were nearing the Autobot base. They infiltrated it once, but barely came out alive. He didn't want to experience that again!
"Demolishor, report!" commanded Megatron through his com-link. "Demolishor, here. No sign of him, yet, sir." He heard Megatron give an irritated sigh.
"Alright, report in once you do. Megatron out!" And with that, the static-filled transmition ended. Demolishor also sighed, and found himself at the entrance to the Autobot warp gate.
"Uh-oh!" were the only words he could think of as he saw a figure leaving the warp. Demolishor ran off to the side, and crouched low, hoping not to get caught. The figure drew closer and closer, until it was clearly visible who it was. 'It's the boy! ' thought Demolishor.
"Alright, Over-Run. Let's blow this joint!" said Tim, transforming.
"Right!" replied his Minicon partner, also transforming. They both hovered in the air for a moment, causing Demolishor to think he was discovered. To his great relief, the two left without a word. Demolishor turned on his com-link.
"Come in, Megatron." He requested. The static momentarily made him think Megatron didn't get the transmition, but the Decepticon leader's voice came in. "What is it, Demolishor?" he asked. "I found the boy! He just left the base, should I pursue?" "Yes, follow him. The other Decepticon's and I shall follow your coordinates. Megatron out!" and the transmition ended.
"Demolishor, transform!" the Decepticon commanded. He reverted to his tank mode, and followed Tim. Little did he know, Demolishor was under the eye of a surveillance camera.
-----------------------------------------------------
"What was he doing?" asked Optimus watching Demolishor through the camera's eye. "It's uncertain, sir." Replied Red Alert. Optimus turned to Red Alert. "Can you replay what Demolishor said to Megatron?" "Yes sir!" Replied Read Alert as he began to replay the surveillances' findings.
"It's a little bit low, can you increase the volume?" asked Optimus. "Yes sir!" replied Read Alert. All eyes were glued to the monitor.
"Come in Megatron."...."What is it, Demolishor?" "I found they boy! He left the base, should I pursue?" "Yes, follow him. The other Decepticons and I shall follow your coordinates. Megatron out!"
The kids decided to make themselves known. "Are they talking about Tim?" asked Rad. "I think so," started Optimus. "we should find him just to be on the safe side. Red Alert, Hot Shot, stay here at the base and see if Tim left. The rest of you, come with me. We'll be searching for him outside!"
--------------------------------------------------------
"So where are we going?" asked Over-Run. "Who cares? As long as we're away from the base, and everyone in it, I'll be happy!" replied Tim. He and his Minicon partner were currently flying through the woods. Well, more like above the woods. Either way, Tim was feeling relaxed to be out in the open. "I have a question..." said Over-Run. "What's that?" asked Tim. Over-Run hesitated for a moment, but then asked. "Why are we leaving?" Tim was uncertain how to answer that.
"Well, sometimes, when you get mad, it's just best to leave that place until you cool off." "Alright, I think I get it." said Over-Run, who assumed it was a human thing. Suddenly, the Minicon tensed...if he could. "Hey Tim, my radar shows that we have a Decepticon on our tail!" exclaimed the Mincon.
Tim checked his radar, and sure enough, there was a Decepticon following them. He would have suddenly smirked, but vehicle mode prevented that. "What's say we have a little fun with him?" Over-Run would have shrugged, but his alternate form stops him from doing many things. "I guess." replied the smaller Transformer. "Great!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Demolishor was being pushed to his limits trying to keep up with Tim. He also tried his best to stay hidden. But a tank moving at about seventy miles per hour isn't considered very well hidden. "Good lord! How fast can this kid go!?" exclaimed Demolishor. As the Decepticon was talking to himself about getting a speed upgrade, he didn't notice Tim gradually slow down.
When Demolishor came back to reality, he noticed he wasn't following Tim anymore. He slammed on the brakes, and said, "What?! Where did he go?"
"Right behind you!" exclaimed Tim. Demolishor tensed, and slowly turned around. What he saw frightened him. He saw Tim, in robot mode, Minicon linked,
and s small cannon coming from his right hand. "Transform!" exclaimed the tank. Tim quickly took a step forward.
"Now now, don't make any sudden movements. We don't want you to end up like your buddy, Cyclonus, now do we?" Demiloshor tensed, and slowly shook his head. Tim grinned. "Good, now throw all your weapons down!" Before Demolishor could do what he was told, Tim was shot in the back. He could feel the smoke rising from his back, and snapped his head behind him, to see who did it. He saw Starscream, , with his shoulder cannons out, smirking like a fool.
"I was hoping that would've brought you down. I should try a little harder!" exclaimed Starscream. Demolishor took this time to leap off to the side, and avoid the other Decepticon's blast. Tim turned around to fully face the seeker, and aimed his hand cannon at Starscream. "Two birds with one stone, how nice! Looks like I'll be ending this war soon!" said an arrogant Tim. Starscream's smirk grew.
"If anyone's gonna be stoned, it's you!" exclaimed the Decepticon as he fired his shoulder-mounted cannons. Tim's only choice was to leap off to his left, considering there was nothing but trees to his right, so that's what he did, and did exactly what Starscream had hoped.
As soon as Tim's feet landed on the ground, two large arms grabbed him, firmly holding him in place. He looked up to see his captor, and it was non other than Megatron himself.
Tim struggled to get free, but failed miserably. 'Since when was Megatron this strong? Thought Tim. "Calm down, boy! We merely wish to...talk." said Megatron. He spoke the word 'talk' as if it were the worst word in the dictionary. Tim stopped struggling, and looked up at Megatron. "Why do you want to talk to the guy who shot you in the face?"
Megatron frowned. "Don't remind me!" The Decepticon leader unexpectedly released Tim. The ex-human turned around, in complete shock. "I have a proposition for you." Said Megatron. Tim placed his hand near his gun, just in case. "I'm listening." Over-Run decided to make himself known.
"Tim, don't listen to him!" said the Minicon, still attached to Tim's arm. "Hang on, Over-Run, I wanna hear what he has to say." Tim replied. Megatron spoke up. "I want you to join the Decepticons." Megatron was expecting Tim to walk away, or at least pull out his gun and shoot him in the face again. But what did happen was unexpected.
"Sure." Replied Tim.
------------------------------------
Optimus heavily sighed. He, nor the other Autobots, wasn't having any luck finding the MIA (Missing In Action) Tim. Knowing the youth, he would probably hide in a place where he'd fit in perfectly, and the Autobots couldn't gain access to. Like a military base. Optimus opened up his com-link.
"Smokescreen, any sign?" asked Optimus. Static covered the com-link for a moment, when Smokescreen's voice came in. "Nothing yet, Optimus. I'll report in if I see anything." "Good. Optimus out!" ended the Autobot leader.Rad, Carlos, and Alexis were ridding in the cab of Optimus, helping him with the search.
"Do you think Tim's alright?" asked Alexis. Rad, who stayed silent most of the ride, spoke up. "I'm sure he's fine. He just needs to blow off some steam" All three heard Optimus sigh. He seemed to be doing that a lot. "I cant help but feel responsible for this." Carlos spoke up. "Nah, it's not your fault, Optimus. Tim just needs to stop being do overly sensitive." Optimus then said, "He did have a point."
The Autobot leader was about to check in with Blurr, when Red Alert came in.
"Optimus, sir, there's something you should know." Said Red Alert. "What's that?" asked Optimus. "A Minicon's been located, and its actually nearby your location." Optimus sighed again. He needed to search for Tim, but he couldn't let another Minicon get captured by the Decepticons. "Alright, send me the coordinates, and have Scavenger and Blurr meet me there. Optimus out!" finished Optimus. The incoming data was received, and Optimus headed three miles east.
--------------------------------------------
"What?!" asked a stunned Megatron. He had expected at least a little resistance, but for Tim to just simply say 'sure' was defiantely on the unexpected list. "You heard right, I said 'sure'" said Tim. Over-Run wasn't as calm as Tim. "Tim! Think about what you're saying!" reasoned Over-Run. Tim looked own to his Minicon partner, and said what had been bothering him since he left the base.
"Over-Run, I'm joining the Decepticons whether you like it or not. I'm not wanted at the base. Not by Optimus, not by Hot Shot, not even Rad! They got pissed because I did what was gonna be done eventually. They think I'm a really bad person for killing someone who truly was. They hate me because I tried to make the world a better place. And if they don't appreciate that, then they can kiss my metal butt.
The Decepticons are the only people I can turn to. I'm giving you a choice, Over-Run. If you don't want to be with the Decepticons, leave now. Your other choice, is to stay with me, and fight against the Autobots. What's it gonna be?" said Tim
Over-Run was more than shocked. He hadn't expected Tim to say, what he said. He also didn't expect what Tim's about to do!! The Minicon was at a loss of words. So he did the only thing he could think of...
...run.
Over-Run quickly transformed, and headed back towards the Autobot base, unsure how to tell everyone else that Tim had left them.
Megatron decided to speak up. "Alright, Tim. Before you join the Decepticons, I need you to do something..." Tim turned around, and looked Megatron in the optics. "What's that?" he asked. Megatron took a step forward, and said, "Do you swear allegiance to me, and the Decepticons?" Tim smirked, and kneeled.
"Of course, Megatron, sir! My life belongs to you." Megatron also smirked. "Rise." He commanded. Tim did as he was told, and Megatron placed his left hand on Tims right shoulder. Tim suddenly felt a burning sensation where Megatron's hand was, and as quickly as it started, it was finished.
Megatron lifted his hand from Tim's shoulder, and where it was bare before, now carried the Decepticon faction symbol. Megatron's smirk grew, and said, "Welcome to the team...Warhawk."
Tim..er, Warhawk smirked. "Glad to be aboard!"
Megatron's right optic suddenly flickered, and began receiving information. After the flashing stopped, The Decepticon leader spoke up. "Alright men, there's a Minicon nearby. Warhawk, this is your chance to get a replacement Minicon.
Let's go!" commanded Megatron.
--------------------------------------------
Sideways stayed hidden behind some bouders until the other four Decepticons left the area. The two-faced Transformer chuckled. "It's too easy!" he whispered to himself. Once he was sure the other four were far enough away, he turned around. Suddenly, Rook poped off of the rest of Sideways, and the two-face's true face showed.
The handle bars from his alt. form became horns, and it appeared he had a yellow Transformers-style hockey mask on. He had a single, blue optic, stretching the distance of his face. and other than all of that, his head was covered in purple.
Sideways kneeled, as did Rook. Suddenly, as if activated by their actions, two very ominous-looking eyes stared down at the two.
"Report!" it's loud voice commanded. Sideways finched, barely, but did as he was told. "The boy, who was changed into a Transformer, has joined the Decepticons, as you had planned." "Good. What of the Autobots?" asked the voice. "They are probably looking for the boy as we speak. They also seem to be growing more powerful by the day. They almost defeated Megatron, who has the Starsaber."
The voice paused before speaking again. "This calls for my full attention. I am coming to eliminate this possible threat." Sideways wasn't expecting that. "But sir! That's totally unnecessary! " Sideways was cut off. "No buts! I will be arriving in two Earth days." Sideways nodded. "Yes, Master Unicron."
The transmission ended.
-------------------------------------
Optimus, followed by Blurr and Scavenger, pulled up to the cliff. The three kids climbed out of the cab, and Optimus transformed. "According to Red Alert, this is where the Minicon is located. Alright, team, spread out!" said Optimus. But before anyone could do that, a familiar voice filled the air.
"Optimus Prime, so good to see you!" said Megatron. Optimus looked over at Megatron and saw the usual gang: Starscream, Demolishor, Tim....TIM?!?! Optimus gasped at the sight of Tim with the Decepticon insigne on his shoulder. "No...it cant be!" stated Optimus. Megatron smirked at Optimus' reaction. "Ah, I see you've met our new friend!" Rad, Carlos, and Alexis, who weren't paying attention, sure were now!
----------------------------------------
"What?" said a stunned Alexis.
"Warhawk, this is your chance to prove your loyalty to me!" announced Megatron.
"No way!" stated a surprised Carlos.
"This is my command!" began Megatron.
"Why?..." asked a shocked Rad.
Megatron pointed the Starsaber at the three kids, and stated,
"Kill those three humans!"
