Shayla's POV
Jack and I ended up walking back to the base thanks to an important call to Arcee. She had to leave us because of some emergency that couldn't wait. I wonder what happened. Well I imagine that Agent Fowler was yelling at Optimus for something and they needed Arcee for a mission of some sort. When we walked in I stopped cold in my tracks. Optimus was lying on was seemed to be a giant bed and half his face was covered in something like rust.
"What's wrong with Optimus?" I asked. Optimus tried to say something but Ratchet stopped him.
"Please Optimus, conserve your energy." He said then turned to us. "It's Cybonic Plague; created by Megatron himself."
"Is there a cure?" Jack asked.
"That's what Bee and I are about to find out. We still have the 'cons coordinates." Arcee said.
"Wait, so you're going into the Nemesis?" I asked. They looked at me like they didn't have a clue what I was talking about. "What? I learn stuff."
"Well yeah we're going." Arcee said. The ground bridge opened. Bee and Arcee walked through and it started to disappear but Jack and I somehow were able to slip through. We followed them without them noticing us until we were almost to the computer room or something when the doors opened. Arcee and Bee hid and as they did Bee noticed us and grabbed us as Knockout walked in. He heard us and said, "Hm?" then shrugged and continued to walk by. When he was out of sight we came out and Arcee looked pissed. "Why didn't you stay back at the base?"
"What? We were curious." Jack responded.
"Scrap, well it looks like you're stuck here until we need a ground bridge. Don't touch anything."
"Si, si, si, yo se." (yes, yes, yes, I know.) I said. I think she translated it because she gave us a quick nod and we ran into the room. As Arcee searched through the files and argued with Ratchet Jack, Bee, and I looked around the room and kept watch. Bee looked into the window of another room and he looked surprised. He turned and said something to Arcee.
"What is it Bee?" she asked as she walked up. She looked in then opened the door. "It's Megatron."
We walked in and I heard Arcee talking to Ratchet although I couldn't make out what she was saying. I saw her about to shoot Megatron; killing him once and for all; but she didn't. Apparently Ratchet has a plan. We hooked up Bee with a purple wire-thing to…Megatron?
"Why are we hooking them up together?" I asked.
"Ratchet believes that if there is a cure, it's sure to be in Megatron's mind." Arcee said. "Are you ready Bee?" he nodded and his eyes went blank. After a few minutes the door opened. We are hidden but the wire isn't. "Hurry Bee," Arcee whispered. I could hear decepticons talking; then I heard Knockout. That high-pitched voice; the name "Soundwave" that came up so many times; it's the two decepticons that attacked me! I guess Knockout decided to become second-in-command by their voices. By what I hear I know they're trying to get Soundwave to allow them to kill off Megatron. If they kill Megatron before Bee comes back then Bee, Megatron, and Optimus will be in deep…well…scrap. I couldn't care less about Megatron afterwards but Bee and Optimus are who we need right now.
"What the-" I heard Starscream say as he looked towards our hiding spot. He walked up and saw Arcee and Jack; I on the other hand was on the other side of the room. "Autobots! Attack them!" he yelled. I heard Arcee get the cord out of Bee's head.
"Allow me," she yelled as she shot at Megatron. I started to run back to them as I heard the ground bridge open. By the time I got there it was already gone. That's when I realized I was trapped at the decepticon base alone. Starscream and Soundwave had left the room. I glanced over the wall and saw that Knockout was alone next to Megatron. Should I go to him; or is he still mad at me and wants to shoot me? Well it's either him or another decepticon. I silently climbed out of the trench-like thing I was in. He didn't see me until I tripped over a wire. He swiftly turned around; ready to attack whoever it was that snuck up on him.
"Relax it's just me," I said as I stood up. My knee was scraped from the fall and stung but it wasn't bleeding so I'm not worried. He looked surprised.
"Shayla what are you doing here?" he asked with a low voice.
"I was with Arcee and Bee and got left behind by mistake."
"You're not safe here; when will they come back?"
"I don't know! I lost my phone at the base!" he was about to say something when the doors behind him opened. I quickly hid behind Megatron as a blue decepticon with a red face and yellow eyes walked in.
"Hey Knockout, how's Megatron?" he said.
"Unchanged," Knockout responded.
"Then why isn't there any brain activity?" I looked at the screen and sure enough there wasn't any. I smiled as I thought about how Megatron may actually be dead forever. The decepticon walked over to the screen. Apparently he saw me at the corner of his eye because he reached down and grabbed me. He said, "Is this the Shayla that I've heard so much about?" is he Breakdown?
"Yeah, she was with the two autobots that just snuck in; apparently they left her behind." Knockout answered.
"Put me down, por favor!" (please) I demanded. He looked at me in confusion but set me down.
"This is Breakdown; originally the only decepticon to know about you." Knockout explained uncomfortably.
"Sup," Breakdown said.
"Hola," (hello) I responded. He looked at me with a confused look.
"What is wrong with you, human?"
"Nada is wrong with me just because I'm bilingual." (nothing)
"How did you manage to talk to her?" he asked Knockout.
"She never spoke this language before." Knockout confessed.
"Ay, ay, ay," I mumbled. "I spoke Spanish to you; just sometimes it's really close to ingles." (English)
"Well while you're here speak English or ingles or whatever it is." Breakdown muttered. Then he turned and grabbed something from the nearby table and threw it towards me. I caught it and looked to see that it was my book.
"I didn't know you write." Knockout said. Great they found out. Must've been the whole "For Knockout…" thing.
I'm enjoying writing in Spanish :) I told my Spanish teacher and she was happy about it. iGracias para tu leyes! (thank you for reading)
