Hey guys. So, uh, don't kill me kay? Cause then I wouldn't be able to finish the story. :)Sorry about not updating sooner. I just suck. So here is another chapter, I don't know when the next chapter will be out. Sorry but life is crazy right now, and my life has been turned on its ear and well, so, that's what's up. My life on its ear.
Will try to update sooner, but I'm unsure. See ya'll later.
After letting their eyes become accustomed to the darkened room again after the blinding white flash, the team realized that they were back at the Hall of Records. Looking around, they saw that Eve was moving around with a hovering data pad cart, going about her daily routine. Taking the opportunity in the stillness, the team needed to address somethings.
"Is anyone else still reeling after the whole Megatron thing? I mean, I can feel my head spinning." Jack couldn't help role his eyes at Miko. Sometimes she could be bit of a drama queen. And by sometimes, he meant all the time.
"Yeah. I know sort of what you mean. It was weird to see the two of them being friendly. And even weirder to see Megatron being polite to her. Or are those sort of the same thing? i don't even know any more." Raf just shook his head, seeming to try to shake out the images of Megatron kissing Optimus' hand. That had been majorly weird.
"Sorta the same. Majorly weird either way. I mean, I didn't even know he could be polite, let alone polite to Optimus." Arcee joined the conversation.
"You all forget, that this isn't Megatron. Megatronus and he are pretty much night and day to each other. Megatronus is a very kind, open harted person, who knew how to use his expanded vocabulary to help make others lives better. Megatron is, well, you know what Megatron is. So comparing the two wont work. They are nothing alike."
"Well if Megatronus is such a peachy guy, then how on Earth did he become the jerk he is today?" Ratchet didn't have an answer for that. To this day he wasn't sure how the kind and genteal bot turned in to the wanna be dictator. Ratchet turned his head to look at Eve, who after putting away the pads she had found lying out, was now sitting down watching some of the daily news. Suddenly a news flash came on, the report going wild. Eve sat forward looking intently at the screen, others who were near coming to look at the screen. Team Prime was also caught off guard by the sudden apearence of Megatronus on the screen, the camera crew trying deperatly to not show the disembowled bot he was standing on.
The flash the went across the bottem read that the galatorial pits were in a riot over Megatronus trying to rise up above his cast. With a glance at Eve, it was easy to see the interest on her face, watching as Megatronus started to talk. He was making a speech about how the system was broken. That things in government needed to change. That if anyone was going to do it, it would be him. He was apparently going to run in the next election for senetors trying to test the system.
"Why is it such a shock for him to be running for your government? I read that it was law on your planet for there to be a yearly election." Raf was looking up at Ratchet for explinations.
"Well, the elections aren't really elections. It's true we could send in our ballots, but there were never really any new bots to be elected. the cast system creates an enviorment where only those who are sorted into the silver class are the only ones who can put themselves up for eleciton. They are the only ones with the money and backing. So for Megatronus to think that he can go from the lowest class to the highest class was unimaginable.
"We all thought that the Elders would put a stop to him, a stop to our rights, which only fueled his campaighn. So the Elders let us elect him when the time came, and he went from poverty to power over night. Megatronus preyed on the general populations want to be elevated in the cast system. And we all fell for it." Ratchet wished it hadn't happened that way. hey had all fallen for it, had falen right into the trap. Maybe it hadn't started as a noose, this plan of his, but it ended almost hanging the entire planet.
"Well I guess that would be a bit of a change." Raf didn't say any more after that. Eve looked shcoked, she knew that there was only four full cycles left till ballots were due, and then to half cycles after that till the announcement of the next cycle of senetors. So for him to be comeing at this race, right near the end., was not only impossible, it was unimaginable. But that was what made the whole thing exciting.
