Spike lowered the pipe from his lips and looked around, expecting something to happen and then looked down at the parchment in confusion only for both it and the instrument to disappear out of his hands and off the ground. He stood up in shock and stared at where the paper had been only for him to be knocked onto his back by the leader of the Decepticons himself jumping in front of him.
"Well, if it isn't the Autobot's earth germ." The silver mech taunted as Spike scooted away from him before frowning.
"The Autobots will stop you Megatron!" He shouted up at the giant transformer. Megatron chuckled before sneering down at the boy at his pedes.
"Oh I'm sure they will, but I'm not afraid of ghosts human." He taunted as a look of horror crossed Spike's face before it was replaced with fear when Megatron leveled his cannon with Spike. Spike's eyes widened in terror as the gun began to slowly power up. Megatron chuckled and an evil glimmer flooded his optics as he stared at the frightened human.
"Any last words pest?" He taunted.
Spike stood tall to say something when a tremendous roar shook the very ground and an angry voice spoke up.
"I got some for you, you villainous knight!"
"What?!" Megatron exclaimed, outraged as a huge form dropped behind him with a massive crash that knocked Spike to the floor. Megatron spun and faced the large force behind him.
"Who dares challenge the mighty Megatron?!" He roared before looking up at the narrow head that blocked out the sun.
A sinister hiss answered him and two gold eyes glowed in defiance.
"I dare." The feminine growled before looking past the titan and to the human. A smile seemed to cross her reptilian face and she lowered her head to him.
"Are you alright friend?" She questioned before being blasted in the side by an enraged tyrant. She roared before turning her murderous gaze to the sneering Decepticon.
"You dare attack me?! I'll roast you where you stand!" She shrieked before grabbed Spike gently with her teeth and flipping him onto her head. "Hang on!" She yelled before two massive wings spread behind her and with a mighty flap, she blasted off the ground and flew into the air. Spike yelled in fear at the sudden take off before realizing that he was sitting in a nearly natural seat and realized he was in a saddle and he was holding onto a horn that had reigns wrapped around it.
"Woah!" He exclaimed before looking down. He was riding a massive dragon! An actual dragon!
"You alright there little rider?" She called up to him.
"Uh, yeah?"
"Good." He could hear the amusement ringing in her voice. "Then hang on! We're going in!"
She roared before Spike felt his stomach slide up into his throat as she angled downward like a roller coaster and shot straight back towards the battlefield. Spike couldn't help himself as he let out an excited whoop. The dragon easily tore through the Decepticon ranks, showing her strength and power to be matching that of the Dinobots. Spike looked down to see a small convoy of Autobots heading towards the Ark and he pointed at them.
"Quick! Follow them!" He exclaimed before having to hang on once again as she banked sharply to catch up to the speeding Autobots. They reached the base and transformed as the dragon landed with a small tremor to the surrounding ground and laid her head on the ground for Spike to slide down. She sat there on her haunches awaiting further orders as Spike ran over to where Chip Chase was getting out of Bumblebee's interior.
"Did you guys get it?!" He questioned urgently smiling when Chip nodded and showed him what was resting in his lap as he wheeled in his wheel-chair towards the Ark's entrance. Spike turned to see the other Autobots watching the dragon in shock and a few of them had their blasters pointed at it in alarm. Spike quickly headed towards her and watched in awe as she stood up and walked straight past the Autobots, ignoring their shouts and threatening blasters as she stopped right in front of Spike. Lowering her head right in front of him, she closed her golden eyes as he gently rested his hand on her black, scalely snout.
"Come on, we have to go check on Optimus!" He exclaimed before gasping in shock as she nudged her head forward, knocking him onto her nose, right in between her two nostrils and gasped again as she raised her neck to full height. He held on tightly as she began walking inside the base. Spike glanced back at her to see her large golden orbs looking ahead until she felt his gaze on her and looked down at him. The edges of her eyes crinkled, showing what could be called a smile. They arrived just in time to see Ratchet installing the part into Optimus' chest and he slowly onlined his optics and stared at Spike on top of the dragons snout.
"That's not something one onlines to every day."
Everyone in the room laughed including the dragon.
