Just visiting 5
When Megatron came back into the holy halls, the doors were closed for him. It had been his daily visit, his meeting with Prime was fabulous and he had managed to stay awake. New plans were made and a new event would be held in the capital, which had to be well organized, too. Therefore Megatron has been in high spirits and decided that now was the right time to get the answers that were still owed to him. So he went, ignoring the odd look of Prime, out and up to the Allspark.
Now he stood under the dome and didn't know what to do. The Allspark denied him access to his room. The idea that he should tear down the door he rejected immediately. For this he would only be penalized. Perhaps it was time to be a bit diplomatic.
"Allspark, I have to talk to you ..."
A short rest and Megatron had even been willing to repeat his request but then the quiet, somewhat double-sounding voice sounded over to him. He spoke directly to his Spark.
What do you want, my child?
The old warrior clenched his teeth together. It was only a small puncture in his pride, right? He would survive. And besides, he actually didn't want to talk with the Allspark but with the boy.
Samuel Witwicky has become a part of us and therefore part of the Allspark. He is in his individuality Allspark but in his personality human. His knowledge is an indistinct help in his naivety, in which he seems to think that he is still a human being.
"But didn't you just say that he is a human?", asked a confused Megatron. There were not many who were able to irritate him, though lately, all did. Moreover Allspark read his thoughts again which didn't please him at all.
He is a human within the meaning of his mental nature, but he denies his inhuman new life with vigor to-...
SHUT UP!
Megatron was waiting to hear the rest of the words that had been interrupted by a loud shout. It was the voice of the boy who had cut off the Allspark. He didn't know that the fleshling was also able to communicate in such a way with him and it bugged him a little.
Samuel Witwicky doesn't want to talk to you, Megatron, said the Allspark.
Oh, no. No, no, no, he wouldn't escape that easily. You couldn't hold out the Energon and then don't expect that he would snap for it.
"Allspark, I have never asked for anything. Other Cybertronians went to you, wanting children, healing of injuries, strength or protection."
No answer. Megatron growled. Had He really to go on?
"In all this time I was brave and obedient, never disregard your orders. And never had a wish. Haven't I also have the rights like all cybertronian people?"
So Speak, Megatron, my child. Protector of the cybertronian people and ruler of Cybertron. What is your wish?
Megatron grinned. Well, now he was talking!
"I wish to speak with the boy. Now."
So be it.
Doors that were closed just a few seconds ago were opened slowly, almost as if they would be reluctant to merge completely. Megatron's huge form came through the entrance and walked down the narrow path to the podium where the Allspark was. And there he was already. The boy, with his transparent form, showed him his back while sitting on the Allspark, the arms were folded. The boy was pouting.
Megatron snorted, which sounded like a howl of a jet. The scene before him was ridiculous. But he was here now and would get his answers.
"That was a nasty trick and you know that, Megatron."
"Well, I'm Megatron."
"That explains everything."
"I'm not here to play one of your games. For that I'm not in the mood. Today you will answer my questions, all of them."
Sam said nothing.
"I don't know what want you're aiming for and basically it doesn't matter to me. The only thing is: I want to understand it. Why? Why me?"
After a few moments Sam sighed and turned to Megatron. He looked seriously into his eyes, as if to collect himself.
"What you want to know first?"
"Why don't you talk with Prime, when you have the opportunity?"
A bitter laugh echoed in the chamber of the Allspark. Quiet voices could be heard in the background, soothingly they envelops the sadness that came from Sam Witwicky.
"Optimus Prime ... you know who we're talking about here? He knew me not even for 3 days. And when I died he made such accusations to himself! That he couldn't save one ordinary boy. I wasn't willing to do it. I told him I was dead, so he would no longer suffer as long as when he reminds me constantly. Seeing me, this tiny little human ... was sacrificed for this war. Still sacrifices himself…"
"How noble."
Suddenly, Sam was outraged. How could Megatron dare to make fun of him? He had no idea how it was! Isolated from all and everything, he degenerated into loneliness. Yes, he had not even had time to say goodbye to his family, to Mikaela, to Bumblebee... He had lost everything that was dear to him! And only to save an alien race, which he doesn't even knew correctly at that time.
"Keep your sarcasm!" Sam's voice thundered down to Megatron, who looked surprised? "You've got no idea! I mean, do you know how it is like being up here all alone? Exploited by an artifact that is the energy of a damned alien race, I have just met then? So don't talk as if you would understand me, Megatron!"
Megatron could say that he knew exactly how it was being exploited by the Allspark. After all, he had only get this position, because this thing. His suffering. His lost fight. His...his loneliness. But he didn't do it and said something else instead.
"Maybe. But it's your own fault that you suffer. Wasn't it your choice? Did you not help the Allspark? So Keep your self-pity!"
One hand was clenched into a fist and Sam's eyes narrowed. Naturally, Megatron felt not really intimidated.
"Choice? Yeah, right. You mean the choice that I had after my death?"
Megatron was, to put it mildly, shocked. What this boy was suggesting...
"But you jumped off the roof, didn't you?"
Sam ran his hand through his hair and shook his head.
"Man, I don't know! There was only this song and the voices and suddenly there was no better idea than jumping off the roof."
"Voices?" asked Megatron and took a step closer. Sam leaned a little further back, when the face of the other was right in front of him.
"There are two. But that's not important. Could you move away a bit?"
Megatron ignored him.
"How is it then that you only show yourself to me? Not to other bystanders....?"
In the next moment shot Sam's outstretched arm with index finger forward, directly in the direction of Megatron's optic. He quickly backed off, but then it occurred to him that he would probably not have noticed anyway.
"Are you thinking you're something special? I have already told you why I'm talking to you. Because it's annoying you!"
"Oh, really?" Of course, Megatron didn't believe him. Even Sam seemed to notice as he folded his arms over his chest. Thus, the two stared at each other counterparties, long and intense.
"Was that everything you wanted to know?"
"For now."
Another silence. Megatron was thinking that the boy would now stop talking to him. He would never again be questioned or could see him. Just like before when he had no access to the room. This idea seemed to impact his program negatively because suddenly he wanted the boy to talk to him. Since when was it like this? Megatron had no idea. Finally, Sam sighed.
"Well ... how was your day?"
Megatron grinned, ignoring the relief he felt, and thought that maybe he could enjoy these moments a lot more.
