In the Hands of the Enemy

Chapter 3: Dilemma

Decepticon base

'What are you doing Demolisher?'

'Well, I, uh, nothing Sir', stammered the Decepticon under Megatron's harsh glare.

'It didn't look like nothing. Who were you talking to?'

'Just er, talking to myself, that's all and I er, noticed that something rather large just scraping the outer sensors, it was also moving quite erratically, Sir', replied Demolisher. He had just caught the object on the radar screen out the corner of his eye, anything to distract Megatron from what he had really been doing.

'Hm, probably just a comet or something, nothing important. Anyways, go bring your human up to the control room, I want to talk to him'.

Filled with worry for Kicker, he started moving along the steel corridors on route to the area which housed Kicker's cell. He felt really guilty, but he hadn't wanted to go against Megatron's orders and had grabbed the human as he was told, but now he wished he hadn't. Kicker was likely to be harmed or even killed, humans were too small and fragile and Megatron wasn't known for his gentleness.

He had arrived quite quickly. He knew the winding passages so well that he had hardly had to look up out of his thoughts to go in the right direction.

Unlocking the cell Demolisher caught his first glance at kicker and his worry multiplied tenfold. He was sitting in the corner resting his head on his knees and when he looked up to see who had entered the Decepticon noticed that his face was quite pale and he looked really tired, making his face quite gaunt.

'Come on Kicker, I've got to take you to Megatron'.

He stood up silently, stretched himself and stepped out the room behind Demolisher.

'Follow me'.

The journey to the control room was uneventful and soon they were there. Before they went in though Demolisher noticed that Kicker straightened his back and confidence could be seen in his face, just that slight change made him look ready for anything. He didn't know much about humans, but he knew that they may be fragile, but they weren't weak.

They entered and could only half see Megatron, since he was standing in the shadows at the back of the room. He turned to look at them and gave the human his most evil smile, but kicker didn't even flinch. Megatron's face turned into a frown and slightly angry, he proceeded to walk towards them.

'Demolisher, why are you still here?' he asked.

'Hm, oh right ... yeah', and with that Demolisher left the room and closed the door, hoping Kicker would be alright after this encounter.

The Decepticon leader went over to his chair and sat down, knowing he had full control of the situation. He had found the perfect way to get this human to help him.

'So, human, how is the accommodation I arranged for you?' Megatron asked with a smirk.

'Well the floor's a bit hard', he said sarcastically, but the tone was lost on the Transformer, 'and I'm really hungry', and to answer the complaint his stomach rumbled loudly.

Ignoring the noise Megatron continued, 'Normally, I would just make you into a Decepticon forcefully, but since you are an organic life form I can't rewrite your system and therefore, would like to make a deal', he stated.

'Yeah , like I can trust you!' Kicker retorted.

'Just listen human!', Megatron roared angrily, 'This will be worth your while'.

'If you find Energon for me I will let you down on a planet to get some food and, this is the good part, I will never attack Earth again, all you friends and family will be safe as will every other human living there'.

'Earth, would be safe', was all that filled Kicker's mind.

Well thought I'd leave you there. Will Kicker give in to Megatron's deal, find out next chapter.

Hope you enjoyed reading this and please review.

Until next time
