Disclaimer: I own nothing
AN: in my little world Megatron didn't get sucked in to Unicron so they all went back to Earth and started fighting again (plus I couldn't resist using it in Koji's rant)
Also that machine they used on Dr Onishi didn't work so well so Megatron is going to get his information from Rad the old fashioned way
Rad may OOC but think of his situation
Warnings: There is mild torture and swearing in this

Chapter 8
"Demolisher, this better be good. I was in the middle of something important," Megatron said.
"Yes sir". Demolisher wasn't sure how taking a nap in the middle of the day counted as important but it wasn't his place to question his leader.
"Hey boss take a look at these weird readings", Cyclonus called over his shoulder
Megatron looked at the readings for three seconds before realizing what they meant. " Get ready. We're going to pay the Autobots a visit" Megatron said with a smirk.
"Koji please drink something," Sky-byte pleaded with the boy. He'd refused to eat, drink, or speak since he'd been separated from the other boy. When they'd first gotten back to the base the boys had tried to cling to each other and Megatron had considered using Koji as leverage against the blonde. Sky-byte had managed to convince Megatron that the boys probably didn't know each other well enough to have an emotional attachment. So as not to give Megatron a chance to change his mind Sky-byte took Koji to his room. Once there the boy had thrown a fit surprising Sky-byte he hadn't thought that Koji would have known the other boy long enough to be worried about him. It was probably just the fear of what might happen to him and being separated from his father. If the boy loved his father enough to walk straight up to Sky-byte and ask his assistance in rescuing the man, being separated from him would defiantly be painful for the boy.
"Koji you need to drink something. Your kind can't survive very long without water".
"How would you know?" At least he was talking now.
"Who do you think had to take care of your father when he was here?"
"Are they going to feed Rad?"
"If he tells them what they want to know." Megatron wouldn't let Rad die if he had information about the Minicons.
"Will…will they hurt him?" Koji asked sounding worried.
"It depends on how cooperative he is." That was an understatement. If the kid didn't tell Megatron what he wanted to know he more than likely smash the boy into the floor. Koji being his perceptive self noticed the undertone in Sky-byte's voice.
"He'll kill him won't he" Koji's eyes had the same pleading look they'd had when he'd asked for help saving his father. They were asking for a denial. Which he couldn't give.
"Sky-byte I can't let them hurt Rad" Koji's eyes had that determined look in them.
"Why? He's not your responsibility." Something in Koji's face told that the boy considered Rad just that. "How is he your responsibility?"
"Rad's my son."
"Where are the Minicons?" Megatron asked the boy who was lying on the floor of the electric-cage. When a certain button was pushed it would give a small (Transformers size) shock. It was more preferable thanjust hitting the boy since they didn't want to kill him before they got any information from him.
Rad tried to sit up but breathing had gotten to be hard enough just laying there without any added strain. So he settled for rolling over so he could look at Megatron. "I don't know" it wasn't the most original answer but he'd run out of smart comebacks during the first hour.
"You have to know where that one that you were with is."
"I met him long after he was activated." A jolt of electricity shot through the cage.
"Minicons upon activation scan the image of their partner. If the Minicon belonged to a transformer he would have the alternate form of a vehicle, not a bike." 'Damnit Megatron was smarter in the past.' He should have stayed a Predicon because he obviously lost some intelligence during the change (not really I think he was smarter in Armada).
Rad was having trouble keeping his eyes open. The shocks also seemed to be draining his energy.
"Well since you don't seem to be interested in talking about the Minicons maybe you could tell us about some future events."
"Sure, Optimus kicks your ass and sends you back to Cybertron." Another shock, this time Rad blacked out for a few seconds.
"Megatron sir, not question your authority, but I don't think the human can take much more of this." 'No shit Sherlock.'
"Alright will resume in a few hours." 'Gee thanks.'
It had been two hours since Koji had admitted his heritage. All in all Koji thought that his friends had taken it rather well. The only one who had been shocked beyond all reason and that hadn't move or said anything, and in Koji's opinion,become mostly catatonic was Sideburn. The rest either weren't close enough to him or Rad to really care or they had enough experience to be able to ignore their feelings until the crisis had past.
The main people he'd been worried about were Alexis, T-Ai, and Optimus. Alexis apparently had suspected it because she didn't seem too upset. Either that or her bond with Rad was stronger than he'd originally thought. T-Ai was upset for a few seconds until he explained that raising demon children wasn't that hard and she was perfect at being a Mom. He also hinted at the benefits but wasn't sure she understood. Optimus had taken it fairly well or so it had seemed. The first comment Ultra Magnus made about demonic friends had earned him one of Optimus' rare verbal outbursts. Now as punishment Magnus was being made to baby-sit Sono and Axel, mostly to keep them out of everyone else's hair. The three of them seemed content at the moment throwing bits of scrap metal at Sideburn's head to see if he'd respond. No luck yet. The others of the future group didn't look so surprised leading him to think Rad had most likely done something to make them suspicious.
Sideburn's brothers were carefully avoiding Koji. That hurt a little since they'd been his friends when he'd needed some right after his father had been kidnapped. He remembered them letting him stay at the base in their room because he'd had nightmares for the first two weeks and his mom had to go on important business to get into contact with a few old friends in the US military.
Koji noticed T-Ai sneaking glances at him but had a feeling that it had more to do with Hot Shot's little revelation earlier than his ancestry. Might as well talk to her about it now. She was going to want answers. Getting up and walking over to her he noticed a few stares but chose to ignore them. But before any conversation could begin another problem arose.
"Dear Primus not more" Wedge moaned. But apparently there were more because three more time-travelers dropped into the base.
One was a smaller Bot who was sheltering two humans he been holding. There were two things that stopped Koji dead in his tracks, 1) the humans were Carlos and T-Ai, 2) the Bot was battle scarred when a few hours ago he'd looked fine.
