Anyway enjoy this and please do not sue me if you end up having some kind of attack brought on by anger when you get to the end...
Much had been done to the base on Dealgo Garcia, since the battle in Egypt it had been remolded to more accommodate the Autobots for their size and needs. The buildings were made bigger and now had actual doors for the Autobots to use. Along with the surface modifications a second section had also been added to the base, this one under the ground. This section served as the Autobots main work area so that they could do their jobs without worrying about any of the human soldiers or scientists getting in their way. One of the largest rooms in the new section was the control room which held the massive super computer that the Autobots had built from the parts that they were able to get from the many human governments around the world.
It was set to scan for any Decepticon signals and anything that carried a spark signal. For the majority of the time the computer only showed small amounts of spark energy around the world and it made the Autobots uneasy. The Decepticons had gone a long while without causing trouble which only meant that they were planning something big. At the moment the control room was being watched over by the newly arrived Prowl who had taken on the alt form of a Mustang police car. He sat in the large chair made just for the Autobots and kept his optics on everything that the computer showed.
For once he was pleased with the order on the base, there was nothing going on that shouldn't be and he was able to relax just a little. The only thing that showed he wasn't as tense as he normally was were his door wings which were slightly lower then they normally were. His relaxation didn't last as a loud alarm began to ring out and the screen on the computer started flashing bright red. His door wings snapped up and he started typing fast on the key bored while calling for Optimus and the others who needed to know what was going on.
It didn't take long for the doors to the control room to open and for Optimus, Ironhide and Ratchet to come running in.
"What is it Prowl?" Optimus asked worried.
"Sir, the computer has picked up a massive amount of spark radiation." Prowl said.
"Primus..." Ratchet said looking at the screen. "There is nothing on this planet that could cause such readings..."
"Could it be the Decepticon base?" Ironhide asked.
"It could be..." Prowl said typing some more, "But it looks like the energy is coming from a single source... not even all the Decepticons put together could cause a reading so large."
"Impossible... the only thing that could have that much power would be the AllSpark..." Ratchet said.
Optimus's optics went wide and he looked closer at the screen. "It must be Sam!"
There was silence in the room for a moment before Ironhide put his servo on the Prime's shoulder.
"Optimus... Sam was taken by the Decepticons several months ago... there is no way that they would keep him alive for this long." Ironhide said sadly.
Optimus looked at Ironhide his optics firm. "I know that it is him." He said. "He is alive, I can feel it."
Ironhdie looked at Ratchet trying to get some kind of help from the medic.
"Sometimes..." Ratchet said slowly. "A bound can be made between two sparks who share some form of traumatic experience. Not unlike a brother bound... at its weakest it would let the other know weather or not the other is alive or dead..."
Ironhide growled, he had wanted Ratchet to help him convince Optimus of the truth of Sam's probable death. But now the Prime wouldn't let it go.
"I can feel it." Optimus said. "Sam is alive and that..." He pointed at the center of the massive out put of power. "Is him!"
"If that is indeed Samuel then the Decepticons must have him at their base. We now know where it is and can go get him." Prowl said.
'Not wise." Ratchet said. "If that is the Decepticons' base then it is in the middle of the ocean. We could go down and face them but the moment their base is breached it will flood with cold ocean water killing Sam within seconds. The pressure alone would crush him; he is not made of our metal..."
"So what do we do then?" Ironhide asked.
"You do nothing!" A new voice said.
They all looked at the screen and saw a small window open that showed the hated face of Galloway.
"You may have forgotten but we have the same scanners that you have. We also picked up the spike in power and a plan is already set for it." He said.
"What sort of plan is that?" Ironhide asked gruffly.
"That is classified." Galloway said. "All that you need to know is that it will finish the NBE's once and for all. You and that rest of your kind are to remain on the base and do nothing. We will take care of this problem our selves."
With that the window closed leaving the four of them standing there in shock.
"We have to stop this Optimus." Ratchet said. "If Sam is indeed alive then whatever they are planning will surely kill him..."
"I will talk with Major Lennox." Optimus said moving to the door. "There must be something that he can do."
The doors closed behind him as he left to find what seemed like there only human friend.
The med bay was quiet. The only ones that were in there were Hook and the unconscious Sam. His body was still giving off massive amounts of AllSpark power and they where still focused in the three separate points. Hook had been working endlessly trying to find some way to contain the power but so far nothing had worked. He was getting angry and he knew that if he didn't find something soon that he would get it from both the Fallen and Megatron. He went stiff as he heard the med bay doors open and he feared that one of them had come in to get answers.
He turned around and let out a sigh of relief as he saw that it wasn't the Fallen or Megatron.
"Barricade?" He asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see how the squishy was doing..." He said briefly looking over Sam's stiff body. "I had heard that he wasn't well."
"Y... yes..." Hook said. "He is not well at the moment."
Hook turned to look for something that might help Sam but he stopped when he felt Barricade standing right behind him. He turned around slightly and narrowed his optics.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Oh nothing..." Barricade said with a grin.
"Then could you leave? I have a lot of work to do and not much time left to do it in..." Hook told him.
"Of course..." Barricade said. "As have I... Lots of work to do."
Hook was about to ask what he meant by that but his vocals froze as he felt Barricades claw like servos wrap around his neck squeezing it tightly. He felt several energon lines in his neck snap, not major ones but they still leaked enough energon so that he started seeing warning signs. Static started to dance along his optics and he was quickly loosing the battle to stay on line. With a grunt Barricade shoved Hook's head against the wall sending him into stasis while his body repaired the damage done.
Grinning evilly Barricade walked back to the door and opened it motioning for the one standing outside to come in. Starscream pushed past Barricade and made a 'B' line to where Sam laid. He looked down at the boy and grinded as he flexed his sharp servo over his body.
"I am going to enjoy this boy..." He said. "My only regret is that you will not be aware of what is happening to you... I would have so loved to hear your screams..."
"Hurry up Starscream..." Barricade hissed. "We don't know when someone else will be by here."
"Shut up you coward!" Starscream yelled. "If you fear the others coming stand watch outside while I finish with the boy!"
Barricade grunted angrily but left the room. If someone did come by he wasn't going to be the one caught inside.
"Now then..." Starscream said lowering his sharp finger down to almost touch Sam's body. "Should I do this slowly or just gut you like the animal you are?"
The pointed tip of his finger slowly moved up and down Sam's body barley touching him. He stopped at the area Sam's heart was thinking.
"Perhaps I should penetrate your heart and let you die slowly and painfully..." He moved his finger further up Sam's body stopping at his neck. "But then again... I could just cut your head off... a fine trophy it would make..."
Grinning he kept his finger over Sam's neck right above his collar. Making up his mind Starscream lowered his knife like finger down the last few inches until it touched against the black metal that was there.
"Good bye little filth..." He said. "May the pit burn your flesh off."
He began to press down hard on the metal feeling it press into Sam's neck. The moment the collar began to dig into his skin Sam's eyes snapped open. But what caught Starscream's attention was that instead of the scared brown eyes he had wanted to see, he saw nothing but a bright blue light that enveloped the boys eyes completely showing no white or any other color at all. Getting ready to pull his finger away from the boy Starscream was stopped as Sam's hands gripped his finger firmly holding it in place.
"How dare you touch me!" He yelled and tried to pull away from the boy.
Sam's grip however was far too strong and Starscream found that he couldn't move his finger even an inch. No matter how hard he pulled the boy never let got and never moved from the table's surface.
"What sort of trickery is this?" Starscream asked.
He felt his finger starting to be pulled down as Sam's pulled it more and more against his neck and collar. It took Starscream a moment to realize that while his finger was being pulled more and more against the boy's neck he didn't seem to be in any pain or discomfort. It was as if the finger was passing right through him. Narrowing his optics Starscream looked in horror as he saw that his finger wasn't passing through the boy, it was breaking apart and being sucked into the black metal of the boy's collar.
"What are you doing to me?" He yelled.
The more he tried to pull away the faster his finger started to break apart. Soon his finger was gone and the rest of his hand was begin pulled into the collar. His processor started to register the pain that came from his body being broke apart and he tried to shut off his neural network but found that he couldn't. He was forced to feel every second of the agony and watch as his hand broke away completely and his arm starting to do the same.
As panic began to set in Starscream let out a com message to anyone who was receiving from him. It wasn't long before the pounding of foot steps got closer and the med bay doors burst open. Taking up the whole entrance was Megatron and he looked about ready to kill someone. His optics moved quickly from Hook's downed body to Starscream yelling in pain to Sam's body which kept pulling in more and more of Starscream's arm.
"Lord Megatron!" Starscream called out. "Please... help me!"
Megatron growled and moved closer to the two watching as Starscream's entire arm was broken down and pulled into Sam's collar. It wasn't long after that when one of the massive wings and several of the engines on Starscream's back began to break apart and started getting absorbed into the glowing collar. Starscream's yells increased and finally Megatron gripped Starscream tightly and managed to rip him away from Sam. Starscream hit the wall hard and fell to the floor going instantly into stasis as energon flowed from his body.
Turning his attention to Sam Megatron watched as his body curled up tightly sweat covering his forehead. His eyes where still covered in bright blue and his collar was shining almost white. With a loud yell Sam's body snapped open and the white light coming from his collar expanded to cover his whole body. Megatron had to off line his optics before the light became to intense and ruined them. He heard the sound of high pitched whine and the sound of metal clicking together. Slowly the sound faded away and Megatron waited a few minutes before turning his optics on again.
When his vision came back he was sure that he must be having some kind of problem with his optics. Laying where Sam had been a moment before was now a black mech that was the same size as the boy. Its optics where off but its chest was moving up and down showing that it was alive. Megatron stepped closer to the small new mech careful not to touch it. He stopped as its optics lit up; they flickered between several different colors before finally stopping on a deep red. The small mech pushed itself up and held its servos to its head shaking it a little. Once it was done it looked down at its hands and then at the rest of its body.
Its chest began to move up and down quickly as it moved its hands over it body. Finally it looked up locking optics with Megatron.
"Megatron!" It called out the section of metal that covered it mouth moving with its words. "What the hell happened to me?"
Haha! How do like me now! Third cliff hanger in a row. I am on a role! Go on light the torches and break down my door it is totally worth it!
Review and tell me how much you all hate me right now ^_^
