Hey everyone, some good things to say here. First off, hurray a new chapter! I know its very exciting. Second I have finally figured out where this story is going so expect to see more plot development.
So with that said lets get to the chapter.
Sam yawned loudly and stretched his arms high over his head. Letting out a happy sigh he began to climb out of the cock pit of Megatron's alt form. They had just gotten back from the small island and where now back in the base. Sam couldn't help but find it funny that he was able to fall asleep comfortably inside the large Decepticon. Slowly he began to climb down the sharp metal side making sure not to cut himself. He dropped the last few feet and landed with a small grunt on his feet. Taking a few steps back he watched as Megatron transformed back into his towering robot form.
He wasn't sure when he had started to enjoy watching Megatron transform, but he couldn't look at anything else when he did. He smiled up at the large figure when he was done and he started to follow behind him as Megatron walked down the hall way. Almost without thinking Sam began to run his finger over the seam of his metal collar. He had become so used to the black metal being there that he could barely remember ever going without it. It was strange but he felt complete with it on and he knew that if given the choice he wouldn't take it off.
As they walked, Sam began to notice that they were not heading to the throne room like normal. He had slowly been learning his way around the base. So far he could find his way to the throne room, med bay and his room. He knew that there was more mapped out in his brain but for some reason the Allspark power had been oddly dormant. He had wondered about it the other day but decided that he didn't mind so much. He liked having his brain under control.
"Hey, Megatron. Why aren't we going to see the Fallen?" He asked after a moment.
A deep chuckle came from the large 'Con and he looked down at Sam smiling showing his sharp teeth.
"Because there is something that I must show you." He said cryptically.
Sam tilted his head in confusion. He had never heard those words come from Megatron before. He wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad one.
"Wh... what is it?" He asked hesitantly.
"You will see boy." Megatron answered.
Sam knew better then to push the subject and he sighed as they kept walking. He looked around trying to figure out where it was that they were going, but he had never been down this way before. There were a few other rooms down the hallway and the ones that were there were empty except for piles of junk. An uneasy feeling began to creep over him and he instinctively moved closer to Megatron to make himself feel better. As they continued down the twisting hall he began to feel like someone was watching him. He shivered and moved just a bit closer to Megatron.
If Megatron noticed, then he didn't let on because he just kept walking down the hall. Sam was so close to him now that he was almost clinging to his large foot. The sound of something scrapping behind him made him freeze where he stood. Slowly he looked back trying to see what had made the sound. He was shocked when he didn't see anything.
"H... hey Megatron. Did you..." He began but stopped when he turned around and saw that the mech was gone.
He gulped loudly and moved forward trying to catch up, but when he got around the corner he found it empty too. In the back of his mind he had to wonder how something so large could just vanish like that. Now alone in the dim hallway he began to swing his head wildly from side to side making sure that nothing was around him. He could feel sweat on his forehead and neck as his fear climbed a little higher. He began to walk along the hall thinking/hoping that Megatron would be just ahead.
He moved further down the hallway which by now had no rooms leading from it. Again he heard a scraping behind him and he spun around quickly to try and catch what it was. Again the hall behind him was empty.
"M... maybe I am going crazy..." He said out loud.
He began to walk again this time backwards to keep an eye on the area behind him. Not long after the scraping sound came again, again from behind him. He froze and his eyes went wide. The thing had been able to move from behind him to in front of him without being seen. There was something nagging at the back of his mind, something he always told himself to remember from watching all those horror movies. It took him a moment but he was finally able to remember.
"Always look above you..." He whispered.
Slowly he lifted his eyes up and tilted his head back to look at the roof of the hall way. Since it was so high up it was covered in darkness, he could barely make out the metal it was made of. As he watched the darkness he began to notice a patch that was different than the rest. It looked bulkier and it seemed to shift every now and then. His breath caught in his chest as he watched it, the sound of his gasp seemed to make it stir and a moment later his heart almost stopped. The top of the black shadow began to move, it shifted for a moment before a deep red glow appeared in the center of it.
Sam had been around them long enough to know when an optic was staring at him and this was defiantly one looking down on him. It was one large red optic set on the shadow thing and Sam could feel his eyes go round as dinner plates. His mouth hung open in a silent scream and he began to take a few steps back as the thing stared at him. It began to move making the scraping sound he had heard before. A low growl began to fill the hall and Sam felt that it was time for him to run.
Before he could though the thing seemed to let go of the roof and started falling to the ground. It landed with a loud bang never taking its optic off him. Its body was jet black and animal like. There was a large spiked mace looking thing on its tail and its claws where razor sharp blades. It had long sharp teeth that looked like they belonged on a saber tooth tiger. Sam could remember seeing a Decepticon like this in Egypt only it had been silver and not black. He began to take a few more steps back but stopped when the 'Con growled at him.
He froze instantly not moving a muscle. It seemed to make the animal 'Con happy so he made sure to not move at all. After a moment of the two of them staring at each other the black Decepticon began to move closer, its large optic never moving from his face. When it was standing right in front of him Sam could feel the hot air being pushed out from its vents. There was a moment where the thing opened its razor filled mouth acting as if it was going to bite his hand off and Sam shut his eyes ready to run or have his hand bitten off.
He kept his eyes closed but nothing ever happened. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked down to see the 'Con facing the other way and laying on its stomach looking back at him. Sam stood there confused for a time until he felt something pull at his leg firmly. He looked down and saw the dangerous looking tail pulling at his leg. He looked from the tail to the Decepticon confusion plain on his face.
He continued to stand there unsure of what was going on. The black 'Con seemed to get tired of waiting for him and got up from the floor. Sam stiffened once again as it moved around him; he didn't like not being able to see the thing. As he was about to turn around to find out what it was doing he let out a yelp as it began to press against the back of his legs. He moved his legs apart and the animal like Decepticon pushed its way between his legs. It stopped when Sam reached the middle of its back and then just stood there looking up at him over its shoulder.
"You... uh... want me to... ride you?" Sam asked unsure.
The 'Con nodded its head and continued to stare at him. Sam gulped and slowly sat down on the smooth metal. It was warm under him and like the seats of the others alt forms, it seemed to adjust to his curves. He wrapped his hands around two pieces of metal on the shoulders and then nodded his head showing he was ready. No sooner then he made the motion; the thing took off down the hall. It ran fast enough that Sam was sure that it could keep with any car. Sections passed in a blur not that there was anything that gave hint that they were getting anywhere. All the walls and floors looked the same.
Sam buried his face into the metal in front of him and lifted his feet as far off the floor as they would go. He shut his eyes and prayed that the ride would end soon. He let out a gasp and gripped tightly at the metal as the 'Con under him suddenly came to a dead stop. Sam continues to lie on top of the 'con panting hard and his heart going a mile an hour. Slowly he peeled his hands from the metal and shakily pushed himself from his laying down position.
He panted heavily and before he could do anything, he rolled to the side and fell of the 'Con. A heavy groan came from him as he landed hard on his back, his eyes shut tight. He continued to lie on the ground not wanting to move. He groaned as a deep chuckle started up.
"Boy what are you doing on the floor?" It asked.
Sam didn't need to open his eyes to know who it was, he had heard the laugh enough... and there was only one Decepticon that ever called him boy. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the up side down face of Megatron, he was about to say something when he noticed that he wasn't alone. There was a new Decepticon that he had never seen before. Forcing himself to roll onto his stomach, he pushed himself up so he could stand shakily on his feet. He looked up at the new Decepticon and shivered a little.
He was just as tall as Megaton, but a good portion of that height was just his head. It was long and thick and looked to be mainly a helmet. He could make out his red optics from under the rim and he had a multi sectioned mouth guard. He stood straight and ridged with his servos folded behind his back and a blank look in his optics. Sam could tell that this Decepticon was one that took himself and everything very seriously and he should never do anything to make him mad.
"Uh..." He forced out looking up at the large mech.
"Information; subject Samuel James Witwicky. Human, threat level... mild..." The Decepticon said in a monotone voice.
Sam looked even more confused than he had a moment ago. He looked at Megatron hoping for some kind of introduction.
"Boy this is the one of my men who will also be keeping an eye on you." Megatron said.
"Designation; Soundwave. Cassets will also assist in guarding of the child." He said.
"Uh... Cassets?" Sam asked.
There was the sound of parts moving and Sam watched as Soundwaves chest split open almost like he was going to show his spark. Instead it opened to a series of chambers a few of which were empty. From his chest two smaller Decepticons shot out and landed in front of Sam. One looked like the twin of Frenzy and the other was a silver looking pterodactyl.
"Designations; Rumble, Lazzerbeek and Ravage 2.0" Soundwave said.
Sam looked at the three 'Cons unsure of them. They all three just stared at him not moving at all. After a moment they all tilted their heads as if listening to something before they all started to climb back up into Soundwaves open chest. As they reached the opening they curled into tight metal balls that fit easily inside the slots. Once they were all inside, the chest closed around them leaving just the two large Decepticons and one confused human.
Well there you have it, I hope that everyone enjoyed the chapter. More to come in the next week or so.
Please Review and have a nice day...
