Chapter 1: Assignment and small story
When Knock Out says that they've brought the humans, it drags attention of the crew. They were all vehicons that look the same like clones. The numerous of optics pointing at them didn't calm them. Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave were also looking at the humans. It's the first time they see humans in person, other than the use of television. Megatron looks at them for a few second.
"I've see you've accept my invitation." Says Megatron to the humans.
"..." They didn't answer.
"...You are free to speak if you want." Says Megatron with a softer ton.
"I don't call that...Invitation." Comments Hasher.
"I've been forceful in case you were in immediate danger...You've seen things you shouldn't have after all." Says Megatron.
"The fight?" Asks Mullen.
Megatron nod negatively.
"You?" Asks Arielle.
"Yes...We weren't supposed to be seen by your kind...Unless emergency...Which we haven't reach now." Says Megatron.
"Why did you take us here?" Asks Hasher. "Because you want us to keep quiet about this. Even if we say something about this, no one...Except crazy person will believe us."
"True...But if we've seen you...There's a risk that our enemy have spot you too during the fight." Says Megatron.
The humans nod silently. Julia then points her finger at their direction.
"What does she want to say?" Asks Starscream.
"Who are we?" Asks Soundwave by using a voice from a TV show.
Julia nod.
"It is true that we forgot the presentation." Says Megatron. "I am Megatron Prime, leader of the decepticon."
The 2 older humans gulp when they hear decepticon. The word deception is present in the word.
"I'm the second in command of the decepticon Starscream."
"Soundwave. Intelligent officer." Soundwave use the voice of Starscream to communicate his name.
"I am the beautiful Knock Out. I'm the doctor of the ship."
"My name is Breakdown. I'm the muscles of the groups."
The vehicons were about to present themselves when Megatron cuts them politely. "I'm sorry, but I think they won't be able to remember your name."
"He's telling the true." Says Hasher.
"You all look the same." Comments Mullen.
The vehicons drop their head a little, but they understand. Even Megatron can't make the difference between all of them and he's with them for a very long time.
The humans begin to present themselves to stay in their good grace.
"My name is Hasher."
"..." Julia says nothing.
"I am Mullen and this is my older sister Julia. As you can see...She isn't the talkative one." Says Mullen with a nervous smile.
"I'm Arielle." Says the girl with a smile.
"I've remark that you were nervous when I say we are decepticon." Remarks Starscream. "But you don't have to worry about this. There's a reason we are name deception but it's not the one you are thinking. Care to explain Soundwave."
"A long time ago, when they weren't war-" But Soundwave multi voice taps was cut by Megatron.
"This isn't the time to explain like it's a tales. I'll make it short. We do not originally come from your planet." Megatron begins by the obvious but he has no choice but to say this. "We come from the planet name Cybertron. It is a mechanical planet somewhere in the galaxy. It is useless to give coordinates...You wouldn't understand them. We were reaching the end of our golden age...This age was a false one. They were the rulers, the servants...and worse...the slave. That's how I call this system." When Megatron says slave, the vehicons drop their head, remembering of their past misery. "Optimus comes from the ruler class...He was a cleric while I come from the servant class. Even if we were different...We become...friend." He didn't say the word friends in a good way...More like regrets or...Betrayal.
"What were you doing in the servant class?" Asks Mullen.
"...I was a gladiator...I wasn't really able to do anything else...Back to the topics, when we speaks together...I realise how much the injustice was present on Cybertron by the comparison of the situation...I decide to raise and put an end to this situation. Soundwave was one of the first who join me...He was also a great friend." Soundwave seems to wants to replies about the «was» but he says nothing. "Shockwave was another of the ruler class who join me...He already knows that the golden age cannot be logical as long as their different class in Cybertron. Before acting or giving my message, I walk into the most desolate city of Cybertron...It hadn't even a name...Even his habitants...The 3 groups that reside there...Where the vehicons...Those around you...he Insecticons, and the Predacon. They are the slaves on Cybertron and are being use as simple object...Even if they are sentient living being. That reinforces my will to change everything. The announcement about my will to change the system has been done after my great victory in one of my toughest battle. Tension rise between me and the rulers and after a while and they call our groups the decepticon. I laugh at it because it is what I am...The deception of the corruption and abuse. Sabotage has begun to rise around Cybertron and the blame has been put on the decepticon and me. I didn't know at that time that was responsible, but Soundwave was searching for the guilty one. One of the wise rulers, Alpha Trion, calls me in the council and I accept. I walk into the council and...It went not that bad...Optimus was there and was listening to what happen in the council. There's been a suggestion to make me the Prime and receive the matrix of leadership."
"What's the importance of being a prime and this Matrix of leadership?" Asks Hasher.
"A Prime is the highest rank of distinction on Cybertron. I become a Prime, but things went horribly wrong...The matrix of leadership conduit the power of Primus, the god of our species and have a link with the all spark. I won't explain everything now." Says Megatron.
"Where's the Matrix?" Asks Arielle.
"It is here." Says Megatron showing it. It is a large plate circling a blue stone at the middle. But...The blue stone has dark shape passing on the blue part.
"That's...Not normal...right?" Asks Mullen.
"No...It is a problem." Says Breakdown.
"I've accept the duty and I've become a Prime and I've receive the Matrix of leadership. That is then...Things goes wrong. I thought everything will be over...The title of a Prime can make what I desire possible...But I've just learn then who was blaming me for the sabotage act and accusing us...It was...Optimus. He appears behind me...Before I insert the Matrix and he corrupts the Matrix with dark energon. The Matrix loses all of his property and everything got worsen. Optimus creates the autobot and the war begins. I've receive support of all the slaves and some of the 2 other class like Starscream of the rulers class. The war destroys our planet and Optimus corrupts the core of Cybertron with dark energon...He can enters in the core because the Matrix was corrupted. The Matrix serves has a key and a lock...But the corruption change everything. With this final blow, we have no choice but to evacuate and we reach Earth. The Nemesis has been shot down and we lose lots of energon when we were close to your planet. By chance, we also shoot down the ship of Optimus and his crew fall with us on Earth."
"Why did you choose here?" Asks Mullen.
"Shockwave and Starscream find a place where lots of energon can be found. It was also an important location in our computer and we decide to come here...But Optimus found out and follow us here." Says Megatron. "That shall be all for now."
"Alright...That's a...Very interesting story...So...What are you going to do about us now?" Asks Hasher.
Only Arielle didn't completely comprehend the story but she knows they live in dark times.
"We are going to assign you a guardian." Says Megatron.
"It is too risky to let you wandering alone." Says Starscream.
"So...Who are going to be your assignment?" Wonders Megatron.
"Not me! Forget about me! I won't put my paint at risk for them!" Says Knock Out.
"You're funny." Says Arielle when she sees his faceplate during his protest. Knock Out looks at her with a small grunt.
"I think you're right Knock Out...We don't want another one of you...If you manage to influence the human...It will be a nightmare." Says Megatron. "Breakdown?"
"I think I might injure the human under my responsibility...And Knock Out is enough for me." Says Breakdown.
"Hey!" Says Knock Out.
Megatron grunt of frustration.
"Starscream?" Asks Megatron.
"Hum...I don't think I'm filled for it." Says Starscream.
"Soundwave?" Asks Megatron furious...He won't let another no pass.
Soundwave points Julia with his servo.
"What a silent human with a silent decepticon does...More silence." Says Starscream with a smile. He then giggles a little while Soundwave glare at him under his mask and Starscream stops.
"I'm sorry but I cannot afford to take one under my protection." Says Megatron. "I am the leader of the decepticon. Soundwave. Take...Julia? Julia with you. I shall find the guardian for the other humans."
Soundwave takes Julia and walks in the record room. Knock Out gladly puts the humans in Megatron servos. Breakdown puts Mullen in Megatron servo.
"Don't think you ditch them out." Says Megatron with a smirk.
"Slag." Says Knock Out.
"When shall I see my sister?" Asks Mullen.
"Very soon...You don't have to worry about her." Says Megatron. "I just need to find your guardian...And I only have 3 choices left already."
"They are going to be force right?" Asks Mullen.
"Yes." Says Megatron.
Megatron walks for a while until he reaches a door that opens. A big room was visible and lots of vehicons were there.
"Vehicons." The group looks at Megatron and they all listen to him. "I need you to be the guardian of one of the humans."
The vehicons look at themselves.
"Of course Megatron Prime." Says one of them. They then all talk together for a while until they speaks to Megatron. "We shall take care of the small boy."
"My name is Mullen."
One of the vehicons takes him on his servo and looks in the eyes of the human.
"We shall accomplish our duty with care." Says the vehicon.
"I'm not worry about this." Says Megatron.
Megatron then gets out of the vehicon big quarter.
"They sure are numerous." Comments Hasher.
"Yes they are...They are also very kind...Some a little weird too." Says Megatron.
"Why some are weird?" Asks Arielle.
"Well...One of them is a joker...Another one is a little...masochistic." Says Megatron. "It is always hard to deal with him."
"What's a masochistic?" Asks Arielle.
"You need to be older before knowing this." Says Hasher.
They continue until they reach another big room. The door opens and behind it were giant robots looking like insects with their mandible. They were looking at Megatron.
"What is the reason of your presence Prime?" Says the Insecticon cover with scarf.
"Hardshell...I need your groups to be the guardian of one of the 2 humans here. They need someone to be by their side." Says Megatron.
"...Are you sure?" Asks Hardshell.
"Cool!" Says Arielle amaze. She was looking at them with adoration.
"I guess she wants to be with you." Says Megatron.
"Alright...I guess we have no choice." Says Hardshell. He takes the human delicately on his servo and looks at her.
It is then that Megatron walks out of the room. He then walks until he reaches a door. "You guardian is in the lab..." Says Megatron unsure about his reaction.
The door opens and somebot was busy working in the lab.
"Shockwave!" Says Megatron.
"Hum...What is it?" Asks Shockwave. "Is that a human?"
"Yes." Says Megatron. "We have a total of 4 of them in the Nemesis."
"I really want to observe one of them." Says Shockwave with curiosity not knowing what will soon come to him.
"That's good because you have the duty to guard this human." Says Megatron.
"Good and...What?" Asks Shockwave when he realises what Megatron has just say.
"You are the guardian of this human." Says Megatron.
"I...I can't do that!" Protest Shockwave.
"Do you think it's logical to let him in the hand of Knock Out?" Asks Megatron.
"Well...Alright." Says Shockwave giving up. He knows Megatron wants him and won't change idea.
"Good...I let him with you so you can know better each other's." Says Megatron.
Nemesis: Record room
Megatron enters in the record room to watch what's going on in there. He also wants to ask something to Soundwave. He then sees Soundwave and Julia starring each other's. No word, no sound, just starring.
"We're you doing this since you enter in the room?" Asks Megatron. It was 20 minutes ago.
Soundwave and Julia give thumbs up without stopping starring.
"I see...Did you find where the autobots are hiding?" Asks Megatron.
"No." Says Soundwave with Knock Out voice.
"I guess it...Do you have the report about the energon we obtain...Will it be enough to start up the ship again?" Asks Megatron.
"It still needs time." Says Soundwave with Starscream voice.
"Alright...I'll return to the control room for now...Just take you time and...Know each other's." Says Megatron.
Vehicons quarter
Mullen was on the servo of the vehicon when he started the presentation of all the vehicon presents. After a while, he presents more than a hundred of vehicons, Mullen starts to have headache.
"Sorry...But they are too many of you." Says Mullen.
"I've only present 10% of us." Says the vehicon. "I also forgot to present myself. I'm Steve."
"Why do you have humans name?" Asks Mullen.
"That is...way too much personal why...Maybe another time." Says Steve. It didn't seem to wants talking about it. Mullen let it slide.
"Alright...So...Are you all the same?" Asks Mullen.
"The personality is completely different for each of us...Physically...Only Silver has a different paint color. He's not here since he's currently busy with the coordination of the energy mine we obtain." Says Steve.
"Hi alpha!" Says a vehicon with pink paint with an angry tone. "Did you see Joker?"
"I guess he paints you pink?" Says Steve.
"Yes."
"...Near the exit." Says Steve.
"...See him." He then walks slowly and when he was close enough he jumps on the vehicon joke and begins to lightly punch him, but not enough to not hurt him.
"Stop! That hurt!" Begins complaining Joker.
"That was NOT funny." Says the pink vehicon.
Steve and Mullen watch the small fight.
"There is one vehicon you must know...Maso...He is a weird one and easily recognisable when you hit him...He'll ask more." Warns Steve.
"Maso is...the masochist." Asks Mullen.
"Yes..." Says Steve. "I still have to present a few others and I think you shall present yourself in front of the others."
"Alright." Says Mullen.
Insecticon quarter
Hardshell was also presenting the Insecticon, but he decides to present the most important to remember because he knows she won't remember them. After a while, he has to present him. He is worried that he shall be a bad influence for the little girl with all of his...bad actions he committed frequently.
"I have one more Insecticon to present human...He can be really...unstable so you don't have to always take him seriously. Some of us think he has a glitch or something." Says Hardshell. "He's not a bad one but he causes us trouble sometimes."
"Who is it?" Asks Arielle innocently.
"It's the one with the scar on his chest." Says Hardshell when she sees him he walks closer. "This is Kickback...The name fits him since he eventually finish by receiving a kick on his back."
"Hi Kickback." Says Arielle with a smile.
"Hum?...Oh! Hi little girl." Says Kickback kindly.
"My name is Arielle." She says kindly.
"Arielle...Why did you bring her to me?" Asks Kickback.
"I'm here to show to be careful with you. You have a bad influence and I don't want you to affect her the bad way." Says Hardshell.
"Don't worry. I won't do anything bad against her." Says Kickback.
"Doubtful." Says Hardshell.
Shockwave quarter
"Stop bothering me! I'm doing something important." Says Shockwave beginning to be annoyed.
"What are you doing?" Asks Hasher.
"This is not of your business!" Says Shockwave.
"There's nothing to do...Of course I'll finish by bothering you." Says Hasher.
"...Fine! I'll show you what I'm doing." Says Shockwave annoyed. "I'm making sonar that can help us detecting energon that cannot be seen by the optics."
"Does it work?" Asks Hasher.
"*Grunt* Not yet..." Grunts Shockwave in frustration. "It doesn't have enough pieces for it to work well...Humans technologies don't help and it is very hard to obtain some."
"Because you are not human?" Asks Hasher.
"Yes! We can make real money but we cannot buy anything because we...are...not...You're a human!" Says Shockwave. "Look! I'll give you some money and you'll buy me things I need to complete the sonar!"
"...Alright...I guess I can do that for you." Says Hasher not really want to play the courier. Hasher then looks at his watch and... "Shit! I have to go home!"
"Home?" Asks Shockwave. "Guess Megatron forgot that detail." He then opens the . with Megatron. "Megatron Prime...We have a little things to correct...It's about the humans...They have to return home with their creators...Yeah...I know...Alright." He then looks at Hasher. "Human...Knock Out shall bring you and the little girl home while Breakdown shall drive the others."
"Alright...I shall buy your stuff another time." Says Hasher.
"Yeah..." Says Shockwave happy to be alone.
Hasher home:
Knock Out stands close to Hasher home.
"It is finally time to get rid of you." Says Knock Out happily.
"Me too." Says Hasher.
"Just to be sure. Remember that we shall take you from the bus stops you usually take when you finish school and bring you to base. After all, you don't all go to the same school. Right?" He asks to be sure Hasher understands.
"I understand that." Says Hasher.
"When it shall be schools off...We shall take from your home." Says Knock Out.
"I cannot always absent myself. Arielle even more since she's only 8 years. Her parents already call the cop when she didn't return today." Says Hasher.
"Shockwave will find a solution for that with Starscream. You do not have to worry about this." Says Knock Out.
"Understood. Good night." Says Hasher.
"...Good night human." Says Knock Out rolling away.
"What a strange mess we fall in." Comments Hasher. "I can't help but wonder what's awaiting us."
?
"The decepticon have stolen our energon mine!" Says Bulkhead angrily. "Those bastards don't know who's there messing with!"
"We shall kill them the next time we see them." Says Arcee sharpening her blades.
"Do not worry...That is just a detail...*Fuh*...We have enough energon to activate the Abaddon!" Says Ratchet. "It is game over for them anyway."
"Good...We shall begin the extermination soon." Says Optimus evilly. "It's time too...bury this friendship...One and for all." He says friendship in a mocking way.
