Author's Note: Transformers 2 is almost in theatres! Can't wait! Anyway, back to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers.

The last thing Thunderblast saw before she went temporarily offline was Sideways about to punch her in the face. When she opened her optics, she examined her surroundings. She was placed in a small cage. The electronic bars prevented her from escaping. She rubbed her cheek where Sideways had punched her. Thunderblast could her footsteps getting closer and closer. The femme immediately stood up. It was none other than Starscream's right hand bot, Sideways.

"You're coming with me Thunderblast." Sideways said as he deactivated the bars then grabbed Thunderblast by her shoulders.

"Where are we?" Thunderblast asked.

"In a volcano. This is where Starscream's gonna collect the power he needs."

Thunderblast kept looking at her surroundings as they approached a new area. The area was actually the inside of the volcano. It was filled with ancient Decepticons. All of them were watching as Starscream was gaining light from the Omega Lock. Sideways dragged Thunderblast near Starscream. The seeker did not look at her but he still had a smirk on his face. Thunderblast could sense that he was trying to get her attention.

"Now, what was that about me not being as powerful as Megatron?" Starscream asked.

"He could still beat you!" Thunderblast yelled.

"Sideways, take her back to her cell. I'm sure she'll warm up eventually."

Sideways dragged Thunderblast back to her cell. The femme could not go free. If she did, she would still have to fight an army of Decepticons anyway. Sideways pushed her inside then activated the electronic bars. She sat on the floor, with her elbows on her knees. Why did she say no to Starscream? Technically, he was getting more powerful. That's what she wanted. A mech with great power. But, it didn't feel right. She felt that Starscream wasn't the one for her. There was someone else… Megatron. But the thing was, he was floating somewhere in space.

"Forget it Thunderblast." She thought.

"Megatron isn't here. And the only way to be free of this place is to admit to Starscream himself that he's more powerful…"

Crumplezone had called for Scourge and the he led the Planet leader to the other Decepticons who were still stuck inside Starscream's trap. Scourge examined the trap closely looking for a weak spot on it. But he was interrupted by Crumplezone.

"Guys! I brought help. Scourge is here."

"I thought the mighty Megatron was better than this." Scourge taunted.

"Hmph. Starscream will pay for his treachery I assure you. For now, get us out of here!"

Scourge cracked his knuckles. He punched at the ball as did Megatron. They punched it at the same area. The ball disintegrated into nothing. Megatron's troops stretched their arms, relieved to finally be free.

Megatron nodded at Scourge. "I guess I should thank you. But, I have other things to do. Decepticons, to Earth!"

"Wait!" Scourge yelled. "I'm in. It's been a while since I've seen some action."

The Decepticon leader smirked. "All right. Let's move."

They stepped into the warp gate and proceeded to Earth. "Don't worry Thunderblast. I'm coming."

There was an explosion outside the volcano. Starscream was still busy gathering his power. He called for Sideways.

"What was that!?" the seeker yelled.

"Autobots. Should we engage on them?" Sideways asked.

"Of course you should! The rest of you go as well. I need more time."

"What about Thunderblast?"

Starscream smirked. "She's not going anywhere." Starscream looked at his army. "Two of you guard the prisoner. Megatron might already have escaped."

The ancient Decepticons and Sideways nodded at their leader and did what he ordered.

Thunderblast could feel the volcano shaking. She knew that there was a fight going on outside. But who was fighting? She did not know. If it was the Autobots, it was obvious to her that they didn't want anything to do with her. Then, the guards of that Starscream ordered stood by her cell. One on each side. One was mostly orange in color while the other one was blue.

Then, she could hear part of the volcano being broken which was one of the walls of the prison cells. The guards ran towards the source. She didn't see what had happened to them but the next time she saw them, they were thrown to the other side of the room. Thunderblast could hear the footsteps of the attacker. It was coming closer. She readied her missile launcher.

"You should be more careful where you point that thing." Thunderblast easily recognized that voice. She lowered her weapon as the owner of the footsteps she heard came closer. She widened her optics in joy.

"Megatron!" she yelled.

Megatron was now in front of her cell. He made what seemed like a smile. "Miss me?" Megatron deactivated the electronic bars. Thunderblast quickly ran towards him. Megatron examined her, seeing if she needed some medical treatment. He noticed a scratch on her right cheek. He gently touched it. This startled the femme.

"How did you get that?' Megatron asked.

"What? My cheek? Sideways punched me but don't worry, it doesn't really hurt." Thunderblast replied.

"Then why are you heating up?"

Thunderblast's face was turning red. "It must be the heat from the volcano." She quickly said.

Megatron simply smirked. "If you say so. Well, let's get going. I can't wait to take down the mech who captured you."

The two then ran in the direction where Megatron first entered since it leads to the outside of the volcano. Once outside, they saw the battle taking place between the three sides, the Autobots, Decepticons, and Starscream's army. There was an ancient Decepticon charging towards them but Megatron activated his Cyber Key Power, a gatling gun, and quickly took him out. Thunderblast had not seen that weapon of his yet until that moment.

"When did you get that power?" Thunderblast asked.

"On the way here. Impressive, isn't it?"

Before Thunderblast answered back, she noticed a giant rock falling down and going towards them. She activated her Cyber Key Power and shattered the rock into pieces with her missiles.

She smiled. "So is mine."

Megatron made a slight chuckle.

Suddenly, the island was shaking they were on was shaking. The top of the volcano was cracking. They could see a yellow light coming from it. Both Autobots and Decepticons stopped their fighting and looked at the volcano. It was Starscream. Only, he was much larger. The seeker taunted his opponents.

"Now no one can match up to me! Give it up, fools. How can you possibly defeat me?"

E-vac and Jetfire tried to shoot at him but Starscream swatted them away. They crashed into the volcano. Megatron saw this as his chance to take down the seeker.

"Thunderblast, I'm going to fight Starscream." Megatron said.

"I understand. Just, be careful." Thunderblast said.

"Since when did you start caring?" Megatron smirked.

"Can't a femme worry about her own leader?" Thunderblast asked.

Megatron nodded his head at her then flew off to face Starscream. Thunderblast did not take her optics off of him as he did so.

"You can do it. I know you can." Thunderblast thought.

Starscream was simply waiting for another opponent to arrive and try to take him on. The next one didn't really surprise him. Megatron, in midair, was right in front of Starsscream. A few feet away from the seeker's face.

"Give it up Megatron! I shall be the one to rule the galaxy." Starscream yelled.

"Is that what you're doing? You are such a fool." Megatron smirked.

"What do you mean?"

"You think your size will be able to defeat me? And you actually thought that Thunderblast would become your queen."

Starscream snarled and glared at Megatron. "Shut up! The galaxy and Thunderblast will be mine!"

"We'll see, Starscream."

Megatron started to glow violet. While Starscream was glowing yellow. The island was starting to break apart. But, before the two started fighting, Jetfire tackled Megatron to the ground while the other Autobots attacked Starscream. When they were on the ground, Megatron was being restrained by Jetfire, Override, and Crosswise.

Thunderblast noticed this and immediately ran towards Megatron. She blasted at Override. It was able to gain their attention. Crosswise then started shooting at Thunderblast. Soon, the rest of the Decepticons, including Scourge went to their leader. The three Autobots ignored them when they saw Optimus punched by Starscream and went to help him.

"Megatron, we have just learned that the Autobots have taken the Omega Lock and they are now on a space bridge." Scourge informed.

"Where is the space bridge?" Megatron asked.

Scourge pointed to a part of the island where there was a long bridge that connected to what seemed identical to a warp gate. Override, E-vac and Leobreaker had just entered it with the Omega Lock with them.

"I'll deal with Starscream some other time. Decepticons, let's move." Megatron said.

The Decepticons obeyed their leader's orders. But, before Megatron could go after them, Thunderblast stopped him.

"Wait! Thanks for earlier." Thunderblast said.

Megatron turned to face the femme. "It was something I had to do." Megatron replied.

"Why?"

Megatron made a small smile. "Can't a mech worry about his own troops?"

This made Thunderblast chuckle a little. Megatron touched her cheek again.

"I'll make sure Starscream doesn't hurt you." Thunderblast smiled at him. Megatron then retracted his hand and went towards the space bridge.

Thunderblast went after her leader. Megatron made her feel better. She felt that Starscream wouldn't even try to touch her if Megatron was around. She smiled once again then went into the space bridge with the rest of the Decepticons and chased after the Autobots.

Author's Note: Megatron is so cool in this chap! Thanks for the reviews! Until next chapter.
