Just visiting 13
It was time. All preparations were completed.
Megatron and Optimus made their way into the Holy Halls, while there was complete silence between them. Prime carried the Protoform, which was strongly pressed against his chest as if someone already was in there. One would think that a family makes a trip. However, Megatron was sure that they probably never would return home from that trip.
Basically, it was a suicide mission because the plan was harder than it sounds. When the new Spark is created, both should explore the depths of the Allspark, get Sam Witwicky and smuggle him into the Protoform.
Megatron had to grin because the thought that he and his brother would soon have a son, was very amusing. And then with Optimus Prime, whom he had fought so long! But here he was faced with a choice. And for Megatron it was clear that he would take the lesser evil.
The risks were extremely high. If Allspark could detect their plans before the time they had to prepare for a punishment, which probably amounted to childlessness. Or it killed them both on the spot.
Megatron bet on the second.
For Allspark had risen to the ruler of Cybertron. He was not nearly as helpful as before and above all, he allowed no Cybertronian to use him no more. And a dark side had taken possession of the Allspark. Cruelty. No pity.
"Have you said goodbye to Starscream?" asked Optimus and ripped Megatron from his thoughts.
"No. Have you said goodbye to the others?"
Optimus said nothing. Megatron snorted.
"Your name is Optimus Prime and not Pessimus Prime. Get used to it already!"
Although Megatron looked straight at the lights of the city he could feel the smile of his brother. Actually, it was not his intention to make him laugh but apparently Optimus was desperate to find a reason to do so.
Then it was quiet again between them, but Megatron knew that they did not need to talk. They knew their job. Be secret about the whole mission. Let no false ideas come to mind. And rescue this damn boy from his prison.
"We're here." said Prime and pointed with his head to the large doors. Of course, Megatron would never have figured that out without him but he said nothing, after all, Prime was already nervous enough.
As they crossed the room with the dome - the wall was still laying in ruins - Optimus reached out for Megatron's shoulder.
"Megatron ..."
There were so many unspoken words that Megatron couldn't count them. Worry. Anxiety. Despair. Nervousness. But they had no time to say the things, which had to be said. The regretting of deeds, which lay deep buried in the past. Megatron freed himself and held his finger in Prime's face.
"What is this, Prime? Where's your fighting spirit? We have no time for an delay!" Optimus looked a little like he'd been hit but then his expression changed. Determination.
"You're right. Let's roll!"
That sounded more like the Prime, whom he had appreciated as his opponent. Megatron nodded and they both walked through the door that led to the Allspark. It was, as always, on the podium in all its glory. It shone for a moment, as if it registered their presence.
"Welcome Optimus Prime and Megatron."
Prime went forward, laid his Protoform in front of the Allspark and returned back to Megatron.
"We want to create a new Spark together" said Prime and pointed with his hand on the still empty shell "However, we have decided to build a youngling- Protoform because we haven't got enough time for a Sparkling."
"I understand. But you know the procedure. You have to expose your Sparks and so you can merge with the Light of the Allspark. Then your energies will touch the other and a new Spark is created. Optimus Prime, Megatron and Allspark would be connected for a short time. Do you have enough trust in each other do so?"
Megatron jerked a little when he suddenly felt a hand clasping his.
"Yes." whispered Optimus.
"So be it." said Allspark and began to glow. The unknown symbols lit up till a blue light filled the room, which engulfed the two brothers. It was bright and blinding.
"Show your Sparks."
Another bright blue light became visible. It was very similar to that of the Allspark and yet could not keep up with the intensity of the alien artifact. Beside the bright blue Spark appeared a violet light.
The rays of the Allspark became even brighter and swallowed the two in an impenetrable white. Megatron felt how the grip of his brother was getting stronger. Now he could feel it. The warmth and the feelings of other (Prime was really determined!). That was the moment when they were all connected. That was the time to start the plan.
He tried continuously to use his Spark to reach for the Allspark, to hold him and go deeper into it. That was easier said than done. One could best compare it to catching ghosts. It was there but every time Megatron reached for it, it disappeared and Megatron had to search again. Finally he succeeded but he wished he had not. It was almost unbearable hot and AllSparK pressed itself against him, pushed him aside. But it was just irritated and nothing else. This had to mean that he knew nothing of their plans.
Optimus Prime seemed to do the same because the intense feeling fell back on him. It felt as if he would melting on the inside every second now. Subconsciously he held his brother's hand more tightly. He was looking for a track, a notice of the boy but all he found was a white nothingness.
BOY!
He cried with his whole self and at first it didn't seem to work. Everything around him was the same, except that there suddenly was a force that wanted to withdraw him in a brutal way. Invisible arms had grabbed him and dragged his self back out of the Allspark. Apparently, it now seemed to have noticed what they were doing and a little panic took possession of Megatron. But he quickly pulled himself back together and fought against the Allspark, which seemed to be overpowering.
Get out. Get out. Intruder. Danger.
Outraged Megatron tried to hold somewhere but there was no use. The white light disappeared more and his awareness seemed to be slowly withdrawing into his body. Megatron would've liked to cry out in frustration. But he was not alone. Suddenly there was someone who pulled him back in. Someone with a strong Spark. Optimus.
BOY!
The White flickered. Waves. A disturbance in the otherwise flat landscape. There wasn't much more resistance, he knew. He sat still to shout again but that seemed to be unnecessary. For around him the colors changed. A crack and in the next moment, Megatron was in another place. Optimus was no longer beside him but he was close, he could feel it. Above him, a well-known blue sky. Cannon fire and screams. On a building, not far from the one on which he stood, was Starscream. He lay in wait to attack.
Megatron tried not to show too much confusion. What was this? A prison? A mirage? He was still in the same room like the Allspark ... Yes, that's right and he could feel the pressure from Prime's hand when he concentrated. But he had to search further, he knew. When he was on this building ...
Then he looked down to a small figure that was staring at him with a dreamy look. In his hands lay the Allspark.
"Bo…" began Megatron but before he could finish his sentence, Sam Witwicky turned around and ran toward the end of the roof. It was just like back then. He would fall and die and then live in the Allspark. Just like the Allspark wanted him to.
Only this time the boy would disappear.
Forever.
This was his only chance.
With big steps he followed the tiny human.
A cliffhanger!... Oh no, that's mean;)
Optimus and Megatron for the rescue! Can they save Sam? You'll see in the next chapter!
Pessimus Prime: I'm sure Megatron knows that Optimus doesn't have the meaning ,optimism'. But Megatron's nervous, too and he DON'T CARE.
Let's roll: I love that line.
The hand-holding: My favourite scene. someone has to draw this.
About the protoforms: Forget to tell you before: There are 3 forms. 1. Sparkling(proto)form 2. youngling(proto)form 3. adult(proto)form.
When you're confused about that...don't worry. I'm going to explain it in the...*snaps mouth shut* uhm... surprise for later?
Boy: Gods, Megatron will NEVER call Sam by his name, will he? Don't get your hope up, folks.
