She Thinks She Needs Me: Part 6

There were several other things that the girls pulled to get Megatron's attention that night. Every single one of them was designed to gall him as much as he possibly could be with out him loosing it and deciding to just blow everything sky high. Still a lot of the people in the US government were taking him less seriously than they had been a mere 24 hours before. Like I said before, it's hard to be an intimidating evil dictator when your pink and you glow in the dark.

The two girls found ways of rubbing that point in as much as they possibly could to him. This included everything from sending snapshots of him to the press to sending some of the most interesting cat calls across the No man's land to get his attention. Then they or rather Alyssa pulled something else. By this point she knew that he wasn't just going to start shooting because that would have lost him the leverage of the threat. IF he just shot randomly then they knew that he had no desire to negotiate. Thusly the army would go in guns blazing.

So pretty much assured as she could be Alyssa hopped up on one of the hills that we had made our encampment on and waved toward the Decepticons side. She caught the attention of the other leader in question. He glared across the field at her and full well knew that she was safe. That's when she did something that proved how much brass she truly had. She waved at him until she was positive that his eyes were on her. Then she took off her necklace and started twirling it around making sure to give the Silver mech a good long look at what she had.

There was silence for a few seconds and then the screams of utter embarrassment and rage began coming from the other camp. Once again she reduced all of his troops to fits of insane laughter and sent my own men rolling around in the dirt getting an even better guffaw off of all of this. She smiled sweetly at him and then jumped down and headed back to where Angel and my self were waiting.

"Okay I think that's about done it, he should be ready now." She told Angel confidently.

"Really? Do you think we should torment him a little longer or have we been cruel enough?"

"Mind telling me what you two are talking about now?" I asked

Angel grinned up at me and motioned for me to lean down, "Get him on your comlink will you?"

"Him?" I blinked

"You know Megatron, We have a surprise for him that I know will finish him off."

"This must really be something," I muttered as I proceeded to get my opposition on the com.

"WHO wants to what?" He asked.

"You heard me" I told him flatly, "Angel would like to talk to you for a moment."

"Angel?" Megatron snarled back, "Is that your little flesh creature?"

I looked down and saw her glaring and so I leaned down and displayed the screen with Megatron on it for her.

"That's MISS Flesh Creature to you chrome boy!" She snapped.

"HOW dare you address me like that?" He snarled again.

She folded her arms and looked at him, "Oh I plan on addressing you any way I see fit Pinky." She grinned.

I could almost feel the heat from Megatron radiating through my com. Some how he contained him self and kept going.

"Well just what then, did you want to talk to me about human?" He finally asked.

"The terms of your immediate with drawl and surrender." She told him back smugly.

Now I had to gape. I had no idea what she was planning or why she was going through with this. At that point I was starting to think that Angel had lost her mind or some thing else. She however kept on smiling into the com and stayed as calm as you please through his ten minute rant.

"WHAT makes you THINK that I WOULD EVER surrender to some one LIKE YOU HUMAN?" he finally finished.

He folded her arms half way and acted like she was thinking for a second, "Hmmm I dunno." She shrugged then turned behind her and motioned to Alyssa.

She then turned back to the screen and brandished a little bottle for Megatron to see.

"The reason I think that you might be willing to surrender is this." She smiled sweetly.

Silence came from the other end of the line and I had to pull my head around so I could get a look at the expression etched on to Megatron's face. It was one of those looks that said he should have thought of the obvious but it never occurred to him. That for all his power and great intellect, this one little human girl and her friend had out witted him completely.

The thing she was displaying for him turned out to be a bottle of fingernail polish remover. She continued to smile in a very sweet manner and then pulled the bottle back from the screen.

"Sooooooo, I have another Fifty gallons of this stuff over here. IF you withdraw from this area and surrender to the Autobots, I'll let you and your little entourage over there have it."

Megatron made a really interesting choking noise as if he were trying to find some way to get out of this. He did try mind you.

"What If I just go storm the local town and take it?" he asked smugly.

Angel rolled her eyes, "Where do you think we got the stuff moron?" She crossed her arms and stared more, "Besides, you don't know what to look for. It's not like you have a human wife."

More strange noises came from him, she had him over a barrel and he knew it. She just looked at him making me wrack my brain again. She and Alyssa had come up with all of this stuff to drive Megatron and his lackeys nuts. Still some where in that pretty little head she still was under the impression that she was dependant on me. I stood there and watched her take him down one more time, which I guess really stung what ever pride he had left at this point. I watched that and continued to mull over my point.

They probably could have drawn it out until some time around dawn but they she decided that she had enough and demanded that he either put up, or shut up.

"So, are you going to call it quits Meggy," She gave him that sweet look again, "Or do you stay pink for the next six months. I mean if you really wanted to you could not make this deal, I'm sure that it will only take about six months, maybe a year at the most to get rid of your new paint job."

"You miserable, filthy, disgusting, over inflated, loud mouthed …..HUMAN!"

"You making a point here Meggy, or are you just stalling for time to try and make your self look more important," She asked.

"I WILL NOT surrender to you or the Autobots human, but if you agree to turn over that chemical to me then I will leave this area."

"AND NEVER make another attempt at a stunt like this." She prompted.

"And never make another attempt at a stunt like this," he ground out.

"Good then," She looked up at me, "Is that okay with you Optimus? Or should I hold out until he agrees to roll over and say uncle for us?"

I was grateful I had my mask on at that point because I was really on the verge of cracking up. But I managed to control my self and nodded to her.

"That's acceptable yes."

"Okay then," She grinned at me warmly, "You heard him Cap Gun. Send your monotone buddies birds over here for the stuff and hit the road. Once you're cleared out completely I'll send them to you with the remover."

His red eyes narrowed at her over the com link, "Human, don't think that I will forget any of this."

"And don't you think that I'm going to forget any of the crap that you've done to me charmer." She narrowed her eyes in response, "My ribs are still sore."

"Don't egg me on girl, or the next time I get my hands on you a lot more than your ribs will get broken."

"DON'T you dare threaten me!" Angel snarled back, "You know what your problem is Meggy? You're a bully, and you just can't stand it when someone fights back. Well guess what charmer, I plan on fighting back. Now get the HELL out of my state!"

He made some kind of strange incoherent response to all of that and the com snapped off. We all turned around and watched as they pulled out and most of them more than one color some of them resembling shirts from the 1970's. A few seconds later Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw showed up and Angel and Alyssa produced a pair of boxes for them and then sent them off.

"Well," I looked down at them, "That was an original solution."

Jazz walked up behind me, "I just can't believe that you actually gave them the remover."

That's when the girls looked at each other and started laughing. Both of them cracking up and almost rolling around on the ground.

"You didn't give them the remover did you?" I asked.

"Well it's not like they can't get some, its just acetone. I'm sure Mixmaster can figure out how to make it pretty easy. Besides I wanted to rub it in some."

I really didn't know what to think about all of that, though I have to admit I wasn't really surprised. That's just something that the two of them would have done, it seemed to fit their personalities perfectly. I went off to talk to the heads of the military that was left before we took off and the girls went to help pack up. To say the very least it was going to be an interesting trip back to the ark
