Chapter 13
"So this is where the lead Minicon of the Requiem Blaster is. Little dusty isn't it" P Megatron said standing on the cliff overlooking the desert where the Cosmo Scope Research Center would eventually be built. "You live in this dump boy, where is the base at?(hahahaha you can't grade me on this Mrs.Maloney)"
"I live here fifteen years from now. My town hasn't even been built yet. The landscape isn't even the same, how do you expect for me to find anything" Rad said exasperated.
"Try stop making excuses and look" F Megatron said, knocking the boy to the ground.
"Megatron if you hit him like that you could kill him! Then how we going to find the Minicon" Starscream said picking the boy up. He noticed a bruise already forming on Rad's left cheek and his right cheek was bleeding where it had been scraped along the ground. He set the boy back on his feet. Rad cried out when his left leg touched the ground. Starscream caught him when he started to fall. "I think his leg is broken, Sir."
"So?"
"Humans can't use broken limbs. He won't be able to walk now, he'll have to be carried" Starscream was getting tired of having to explain everything to Megatron.
"Fine, carry him. Maybe now he'll tell us where the Minicon is." P Megatron said.
" Why don't you just ask us?"a voice said from behind them, full of rage.
They all turned around to see the Autobots, past and present, standing there, quite a few glaring at them. F Hot Shot, who was standing with his past self, the Spychangers, and Sideswipe, looked particularly pissed off. He seemed to get even more pissed off, if possible, when he saw Rad's injuries. P Hot Shot didn't even try to stop his future self from launching himself at the Megatrons. In fact he was right behind him.
Starscream wanted to join the battle but he couldn't endanger Rad by leaving him on the ground in the middle of a battlefield when the boy couldn't even walk. Suddenly Wheeljack was by his side. "We got to get the kid out of here" He said.
"Megatron will be mad if we leave in the middle of a battle," Starscream said.
"Not for protecting his information source," Wheeljack replied. Starscream nodded. They both transformed and drove/flew away from the battle.
Their retreat didn't go unnoticed. Both Hot Shots and the Spychangers saw this at the same time as Scourge. They broke off and followed the retreating transformers. Scourge was less conspicuous with leaving the battle.
Starscream and Wheeljack noticed they were being followed about a mile from the battle. They transformed and faced the oncoming Autobots.
"Hand Rad over Starscream" F Hot Shot yelled.
"Why should I? You can't shoot me while I'm holding the kid" Starscream said.
F Hot Shot didn't reply to this. He knew he couldn't do anything while Rad was in the line of fire. Of course not everyone had the same inhibitions. A shot was fired from behind Starscream and hit the ground two meters from him. Starscream hit the ground doing his best to shield the boy in his arms from any stray shots.
The Autobots stayed on their feet and faced the new arrival. "Scourge" P Hot Shot snarled.
"Hand the brat over and I won't destroy you all right now" Scourge demanded.
"Why? Your team still has him" P Hot Shot asked.
"Before the Megatron was defeated and sent back to Cybertron Scourge turned on him. I think it was over Fortress Maximus. I guess our time traveling made him show his true colors a little sooner" F Hot Shot said.
"And you called Starscream a traitor for protecting the kid" Wheeljack said with a look of disgust.
"Umm guys" Rad said.
"Rad are you ok?" Sideswipe asked.
"Yeah but you might want to take a look at the ground" the boy said not taking his eyes off the ground. This was when they finally noticed that the ground was slowly breaking away beneath their feet.
"Oh Sh—" was the last thing anyone could say before they all fell through.
"Give up Prime. We're going to find the Minicon before you" F Megatron sneered at F Optimus.
"Yeah? How? Rad wouldn't lead you to any of the Minicons."
"Don't be so sure. That little human pet of yours will take us to it eventually. I just have to be a little more persuasive. Hmm maybe break his other leg or set the voltage on the electric cage up another notch." "AHHH!" Optimus roared as he drove his fist into Megatron's face. A strange blast came out of nowhere and knocked F Megatron to the ground. The whole battle stopped at this and looked in the direction the blast came from.
F Koji was standing there with his hand still raised. From the look of pure rage on his face Optimus guessed that he'd heard what Megatron had said about Rad. He looked back to Megatron who was struggling to get to his feet. Megatron's armor was melted and grossly warped where the blast had hit him. If it weren't for what Megatron threatened to do or had already done to Rad Optimus might have thought Koji had acted to harshly but considering what Optimus had wanted to do himself he felt it would be hypocritical to think that way.
"You better not have been serious" Koji said in a low voice, eyes never leaving Megatron.
"Why do you care human?" Megatron snarled at the Demon. Then he noticed something. "Onishi?" the man in front of him looked just like Onishi except younger. "Close" Dr Onishi said appearing behind F Koji. "What did you do to my grandson?" Dr. Onishi asked.
"Your grandson?"
"Rad. Koji's son." P Koji appeared behind them along with his mother.
"Where is my son?" F Koji asked in the same low, dangerous voice he'd used before. He charged up another blast.
"I—I --- I don't know last time I saw him Starscream had him" Megatron stuttered realizing that Koji 1)wasn't human2) wasn't weak and 3) wasn't alone.
"Where's Starscream?"
"He took off at the beginning of the battle."
"Koji why don't you try sensing for him" Dr. Onishi said.
F Koji eyes unfocused for a minute " He's blocked from me. All I can tell is that he's in that direction" Koji pointed west.
"Ok let's go find him AND if he's hurt, you two," he said, pointing at the Megatrons " are dead". With that Koji turned and walked in the direction of his son.
After a minute F Optimus followed and then the other Autobot went after him.
Megatron and the Deceptacons watched them go. It wasn't until after they were gone that they noticed someone else missing.
"Hey where's Scourge?"
"Oww. Rad, Sideswipe you two okay" F Hot Shot asked.
" Fine Bro" Sideswipe replied.
"Rad?"
"Oww" Rad moaned from somewhere behind him.
"Spychangers report" P Hot Shot said. "Fine." "Been worse." "I'll be ok."
"We're fine. Thanks for asking" Starscream said sarcastically, trying to sit up without jarring Rad to badly.
"You're holding our friend hostage, why would we care how you are?" P Hot Shot asked while his future self helped Sideswipe to his feet.
"I'm not holding the kid hostage. I was taking him away from the battle so he didn't get even more hurt" Starscream said standing up still holding Rad.
"Then why won't you put him down?"
Rad moaned at the thought of having to stand on his leg.
"Maybe because his leg is broke."
"What first his face now his leg. You bastard" F Hot Shot said.
"Watch it Hot Shot. Don't go assigning blame to the wrong person. Megatron did all that" Wheeljack said.
"And you didn't stop him!" He said incredulously.
"Yes they did" Rad said breathing hard because of the pain in his leg. He has a feeling that a few of his ribs were cracked too. He looked around at everyone and then noticed what cave they were in. He'd been in this cave before.
"Oh no" he said.
"Rad what's wrong?" Sideswipe asked
"This is the cave we found Skyblast in."
