Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers, they are owned by Hasbro. Windbreaker and Aquaformer are my creations. Yes, I realize that I have used Aquaformer as other names before, but that is another "universe (or story world)." This series or "world/universe" was requested by :iconleilad80: and she was the creator of Bombshell. No slash here. Bombshell is rescued by Optimus and Starscream, but will they be able to save her? This is strictly a fan fic. No flames or harsh comments. Constructive criticisms welcome. Enjoy!
While Bombshell was passed out from low levels of energon in the Decepticon brig, she had no idea that her sparkmate and her friends were coming to rescue her. She had refused to drink energon because she had never wanted to be here in the first place. She did not realize just how low her supply was as she now was out cold. It was at that point when Starscream felt nothing coming from his sparkmate, and it was then that Starscream suggested that the whole team get to the moon base as soon as possible, for Starscream feared that he might lose his sparkmate and the mother of his seekerlings if they did not go now.
Fortunately, for the Autobots, Cyclonus was on duty and was sleeping on the job, and so the Autobots were able to infiltrate the base without making any of the Decepticons aware of their presence. Starscream knew that Megatron would keep Bombshell in the brig, as Autobots were not allowed to be kept anywhere else, no matter what. The Autobot team that came divided up as this was a twofold mission: rescue the minicons and rescue Bombshell. It was up to Starscream and Optimus Prime to find Bombshell while the others were to find the minicons.
Starscream turned down this hall and that, as his knowledge of the base led him and Prime to the worst part of it, the brig. The large, thick, metal doors that lead to the brig were black and each had one small window with bars across it, just enough to let others know it was the door to the brig. Prime and Screamer headed down the long dark hall toward the door, unaware of what they were going to see when they got there. But they would most certainly be in for a shock.
Starscream remembered the code to the brig as he used to wither end up in here a lot or throw Autobots in here a lot and punched it in, accessing the cold, lifeless brig. Lights came on low. There, in the farthest and smallest cell was Bombshell, curled up, ear antennas back and tail between her legs. Starscream was so distraught as he thought that Megatron had killed her. But before he could open her cell, Optimus and Starscream heard footsteps coming down the hall. Knowing that there was only one way out and not wanting to get caught or leave without Bombshell even if she was offline as she appeared to be.
Meanwhile, Megatron, unaware of the Autobot infiltration, headed down to the brig. He had fallen for the lovely femme and was on his way to persuade her to become his mate, but little did he know about the surprises waiting for him behind the brig doors. And what surprises they would be.
Megatron opened the heavy black door, still unaware that anyone else was in the brig besides Bombshell. Megatron made the long walk down the cell bank to the last and smallest cell. He was absolutely shocked when he got there as the femme he thought he loved lay there motionless, like she had offlined. Megatron was furious. The femme, rather than ditching her sparkmate for him, would rather offline herself. Megatron tried to wake her to no avail. Soon, though, Megatron would be facing something much different, for while Megatron kept trying to get Bombshell's attention, Starscream snuck up behind the arrogant aft, and threw the first blow, as Starscream was angry that Megatron had not only taken his sparkmate, but Starscream, thinking that Megatron had killed Bombshell, wanted to kill the one who killed his mate.
Megatron was sent reeling by Starscream's first blow, but the leader soon recovered, never realizing that there was a second Autobot in the brig with Starscream. Megatron got off of his fat aft and went back to fight he former second in command, and while Megatron was distracted, Optimus found the key code to the cell and picked up the curled up and limp Bombshell, hoping that Red Alert could repair her. Thanks to Starscream's distraction, Optimus was able to remove Bombshell without Megatron seeing him or her. All Megatron was focused on was destroying his former second in command who had become a Decepticon traitor.
Megatron lunged at Starscream, trying to get his hands around the fragger's skinny neck, but Starscream was too quick for the bulky leader and managed to dodge the lunge, and Megatron fell flat on his stomach. Megatron quickly peeled himself off the floor before Starscream swung his wingblade at his former commander, just missing hitting Megatron's chest with the glowing metal. Megatron, having rolled over but not quite completely gotten up yet, kicked Starscream in his legs, and the Seeker crash landed 20 feet away squarely on his back and aft. The seeker, being quicker, swiftly got un dodging one of the Decepticon commander's foot stomps, as a dent in the metallic floor shone in the spot that Starscream had just left. The leader once again lunged at the seeker, trying to grab the seeker's wingblade out of his hands, but failed, as the blade sliced into Megatron's arm, cutting delicate circuitry and costing the leader the use of that arm. Megatron's optics were burning bright red as he was now thoroughly pissed off. No one should ever defy me, he thought, NO ONE!
Starscream had seen Optimus leave with his beloved sparkmate, but the fight was not over yet. Starscream had a wound on his leg that was leaking energon, as well as one on his left arm, which he had put up in defense. Megatron was dripping energon from his right arm that he had tried to use to take the seeker's wingblade away, and had failed miserably. Megatron was also bleeding from the neck where Starscream had bitten Megatron in his sensitive neck wiring after the big dumb aft of a leader tried to attack the seeker's neck. Megatron, unable to continue fighting due to loss of energon just stood there, energon even leaking from his mouth where the seeker had punched him.
Starscream would have stabbed his wingblade right through Megatron's cold and cruel spark chamber right then and there if it were not for the fact that Optimus had called the seeker to retreat as the minicons and Bombshell had been found and rescued. Starscream wanted to stay and defeat Megatron, but Optimus Prime's words that maybe Red Alert could save Bombshell drew Starscream out of his rage and back into his normal processors, and though he was leaking energon from battle wounds, Starscream was able to make it back to the Autobot base under his own power, though he passed out once he reached the base, and Jetfire and Optimus had to take the downed seeker to the med bay.
Meanwhile, on his knees and leaking energon, Megatron looked around and saw that not only was the seeker gone, but the femme was gone as well. Megatron let out a giant roar that shook the entire moon base. And even though his wounds would heal, the hatred he felt for his former second in command lingered, like a bad aftertaste.
