I sigh and drag my clawed hand down my face.

I have to wonder what the Autobots are thinking..I know what Megatron is thinking, raise the dead of Cybertron with dark energon.

I Stand by the controls of the spacebridge awaiting any new information.

SoundWave was sent off to utilize some human technology, the smaller humans pester SoundWave while he's there.

Megatron fights with Optimus.

All any of the Decepticons can do is watch, the vehicons stand concerned for their commander.

Then the spacebridge is compromised, "Lord Megatron! You must retreat!" despite how much I try that empty headed commander of mine stands inside the unstable groundbridge..

He has no intention of moving.

The Autobots take all the chances Megatron squanders, they escape with far less casualties.

Lucky them.

The spacebridge explodes, catching Megatron in it.

Yet Megatron somehow survives..

The will of Unicron I suppose.

"It saddens me to have to announce this, Megatron has fallen, you all will be granted a moment to mourn this loss. I'm aware this may seem harsh but we must remember what we are fighting for, what Megatron fought for."

I don't think announcing, Megatron your dear leader has died in an explosion..now I am your leader and we're just going to ignore the fact that your beloved leader just bit the dust..is exactly a helpful thing to say, he isn't even dead, just in a coma.

KnockOut approaches me"Now that Megatron's gone-" My hand covers his mouth before he can say much else.

"KnockOut. While I can appreciate support. I need my army to have the will to fight, if the morale falls and we ignore it, there won't be much for the Autobots to combat." He shuts his mouth. Good.

KnockOut waits a few moments before speaking again."...You weren't planning on taking advantage of this opportunity?"

pff-this is a lie of an opportunity, as long as he has the dark energon lodged in his spark death is merely an inconvenience..

I drag my hand down my face, if only to help me focus on this heap of molten scrap we call the Decepticons~

SoundWave contacts me, he found Megatron.

I'll never get why that guy is so fond of Megatron.. I may have idolized him in the past but I was never so...Loyal.

You know..

Typically, when you find a dead body, it doesn't move.

This one?

This one hurls itself towards me, my weapons are aimed before I realize they activated...

He falls back into stasis

LaserBeak inches into view, Ah, I had forgotten about that.

"-And you said we needn't call the medic!" I get no response..

SoundWave didn't used to be so quiet.

"What!? I thought the spacebridge had offed him?"

Yes, most would have died.

But not Megatron.

SoundWave insists KnockOut fix him, "What if he doesn't wake up?"

I'm given a disapproving look by SoundWave, it'd be easier to tell what he was trying to convey if he wasn't wearing a visor..

He does sometimes use little emoticons though..

"Yes, yes, I know, he's not dead yet. We can't just put off that talk until his body starts to rust tho." Altho it's clear SoundWave doesn't want to, he hesitantly agrees.

"Let me get this straight, you want me to solder and buff Megatron's mostly dead body?" SoundWave is done with this conversation, apparently he would prefer not to deal with the medic.

"wh-How rude, do none of you have the common courtesy to answer a question?" I think SoundWave is just one of the least talkative, he wasn't all that talkative when he did talk tho..

I had almost forgotten-no..I am not sure how to phrase that.. Remember doesn't seem quite accurate..

SkyQuake, DreadWing's twin..

What am I to do with this information?

..Perhaps SoundWave will have an opinion?

"SoundWave, I was searching for energon and I came across something bizarre, SkyQuake. I'm not sure what to do tho.."

SoundWave doesn't seem to trust that I'm not plotting something.

funny.

"SoundWave. Doubt SkyQuake Would Obey." Yes, that was in fact a problem.

"You don't suggest we leave him there do you? We could instead contact DreadWing." SoundWave doesn't exactly display what he's thinking on his screen like visor.

..still I believe his lack of reply is in my favor.

I would prefer not to have the puzzling outcome I had a vision of come to fruition.

Now the question is, how long will it take for Megatron to heal if I haven't taken the dark energon out of his spark?

...Too little time.

BreakDown arrives with a gift!

WheelJack..Not exactly what I was hoping for.

He's covered in dents..even now he is vehemently struggling to free himself.

Almost admirable..

"Aren't you gonna interrogate me?"

Normally the answer would absolutely be yes, but I'm not really interested...well-

"Where's Megatron and his punching bag? Could they not make time for little old me?"

..He doesn't recognize me?

"Megatron is taking a..extended nap."

"As for StarScream..he's supposed to interrogate you about the location of the Autobot's base-Buuuut I'm not sure I feel like it" How long will it take for this wrecker to realize-

"Oh!" Despite the awkward positioning the wrecker gives me a once over.

"Did you change your body to be more durable?" the mocking tone certainly feels unnecessary.

No!

Why would he even?!..I was a bit less durable actually.

"You could say that...when you see the Autobots would mind asking them a question for me?" I already know his answer.

"Why don't you tell them yourself?-Oh wait! you can't cause you haven't been able to fond them~" Such a smug face..it's a wonder he hasn't been extinguished yet.

"Ask them if they've figured out how the dark energon is connected to this planet." The euphoria I feel when smug turns to dread~

I give a bow as I make my leave..by now I know he'll escape..

My poor vehicon's aren't well trained-most aren't, furthermore I didn't send MakeShift in his place.

-It'd be a waste of a good spy.

What I hadn't expected was him to find me before he left.

"I'll be sure to pass that on to them ;)"

..woht?

I visit the medical bay "NockOut."

"AAAAAH!" A shriek interrupts me.

We both turn towards BreakDown.

"..Sorry"

He swiftly exits the room leaving me and KnockOut with the unconscious Megatron.

"hehe, what did you need heir commandant~?"

My wings shoot upwards.

scrap-

-Frag-

-why was I here?..

Megatron-

"I was just visiting to check on our dear Lord Megatron~" For primus's sake say he didn't see my lapse in composure.

"He's, believe it or not, healing fairly quick, at this point he'll be awake soon." If he did notice he's not showing it.

"...Yes well, Dark Energon does tend to make it a lot harder to kill a cybertronian"

Evidently I should have said that a little less casually, if the shocked expression on the medic's face is anything to go by.

"YOU HAD ME FIX UP A DARK ENERGON RIDDEN CYBERTRONIAN??"

I can't help but flinch at the volume.

"..Unless you somehow dropped dead I don't feel the need for you to shout." He deflates slightly, he doesn't seem to have directly touched the Dark Energon in Megatron's spark chamber.

"Do you have a estimate, of when he'll awaken?" KnockOut takes a moment to get a hold of himself.

He sighs "Very soon."
