HOLY CRAP ALMOST A HUNDRED REVIEWS! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
Whoever is the hundreth reviewer, Megatron and Optimus will be forced to bake that person a cake of their choice! XD
Optimus: NOOOOOOO! *runs to hide*
Megatron:...*optic is twitching*
Anywho, back to the story!
Megatron walked into the main mine, with Knock Out and Breakdown behind him, shoving the prisonners. They shoved Arcee and Bumblebee down on the ground. Megatron turned around, "Bring out Starscream," he commanded, and Breakdown disappeared. Moments later, he appeared, dragging Starscream with him. Megatron smiled, and turned to face the two Autobots, "This will be known as the day that I defeat two of Prime's soldiers. I get the pleasure of watching you rust thanks to the tainted energon," He smirked at them, and walked over to the distributor.
Bumblebee looked over at Arcee, and saw Bulkhead at the back of the mine. The Wrecker placed a finger to his lips, and Bumblebee looked back at Megatron. Bulkhead was not alone. Optimus, Ratchet, and Wheeljack were with him as well. They all waited, weapons ready to attack.
Megatron picked up the distributor, and turned towards Starscream, "Starscream, my former second-in-command. Such a pity that your worthless life has to end this way," he said, and pointed the distributor at him.
Bulkhead jumped out, and slammed into Breakdown, knocking him over. Knock Out spun around, and the three other Autobots appeared, "Arcee! Catch!" Raf yelled, grabbing the cure from Knock Out and tossing it to her. Arcee caught it, and turned to Starscream. Megatron had switched on the distributor.
"NO!" she yelled, and fired her gun at the distributor. Megatron turned to face her, and everything seemed to move in slow motion. The blast from her gun struck the distributor, shattering it into pieces. Megatron roared at her, and tackled her to the ground. The cure flew out of her hand, and landed a few feet away from Starscream.
"Knock Out! Grab that!" Megatron roared. Knock Out made a lunge for it, but Jack ran over and picked it up. He ran towards Starscream, and jabbed it in between the plates on his leg. Knock Out looked up, a face full of dirt.
I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more
"YOU FILTHLY HUMAN SCUM!" Knock Out screeched, "YOU MADE ME SCRATCH MY PAINT!" Jack turned to him, and Knock Out thrust his energon prod forward. Jack covered his eyes, but didn't feel anything. He opened them, and saw Starscream had stopped it with his hands. Knock Out gasped, and Starscream pulled the prod from his hands. He tossed it down on the ground, "MEGATRON!" he yelled, and the Decepticon Lord looked up. He growled, and stood up.
"This ends now Starscream!" he snarled, and tackled the Seeker to the ground. The two rolled off the edge.
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
Arcee got up, and looked down over the edge. Knock Out tackled her from behind, slamming her into the wall.
Starscream shook his helm, his auditory receptors ringing. His vision was still a bit blurry, and this prevented him from seeing Megatron's hand back handing him across his face. Starscream stumbled backwards, and received another slap from Megatron. This time, he grabbed his hand, and slammed him into the wall of the mine.
Megatron stood up, and felt energon at the corner of his mouth, "Is it really necessary for us to fight Starscream?" he asked, taking a step forward.
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
"You were willing to sacrifice my life in order to fufill your wishes," Starscream snapped, watching him closely, "I don't take kindly to someone trying to offline me. And you already replaced me! With Knock Out of all people!"
"Well, he was the best candidate," Megatron said with a chuckle, and the two began circling each other.
"I don't know why I ever thought it would be a good idea to work for you. You've become blind by your lust for power!"
"And you're not?"
The two lunged at each other, and the fighting resumed.
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
Megatron scratched Starscream's wing while the Seeker punched him in the chassis. The two fired their weapons at the same time, and were blown backwards. Starscream landed in his back, and groaned. He rolled out of the way, dodged Megatron's fist. Starscream kicked him in the chassis, and jumped up. Megatron stumbled backwards, and wiped his mouth. He felt energon on his hand, and looked down, "You managed to injure me Starscream. I'm impressed."
Do you remember me
Lost for so long
Megatron aimed his cannon at him, and fired. It struck Starscream in the chassis, and sent him into the wall. Starscream gasped, and looked down. Energon was pulsing out of his chest, "You're so weak Starscream. You will die, and break your promise to Arcee that you will never leave her."
Will you be on the other side
Or will you forget me
Arcee was hiding behind a wall, and heard this comment. Her gun appeared, and she began sneaking around to get behind Megatron, "She'll be left all alone, and feel like she couldn't save you like she couldn't save Tailgate or Cliffjumper."
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved
Am I too lost
Arcee jumped out, and fired at Megatron, hitting him square in the back. Megatron roared in pain, and fell down on his face. Arcee rushed past him, and threw her arms around Starscream. Starscream pulled her close, and closed his optics, "I...I thought that Megatron had killed you," she whispered. Starscream looked down into her optics, and shook his helm. Arcee looked down at his chassis, "You're hurt."
"I'm fine," he said, and leaned in to kiss her. Starscream saw Megatron get up, and aim his cannon at Arcee's back. He shoved her out of the way just as he fired.
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
"STARSCREAM!" she screamed, as Starscream jumped out of the way to avoid the blast. He turned to Megatron, and fired back. Megatron dodged it as well, and transformed. He sped towards Starscream. Starscream grabbed him by his wings, and Megatron pushed through the walls of the mine, Arcee behind them, "RATCHET!" The medic drove up, and transformed. Starscream dug his talons into Megatron's wings, and forced the Decepticon Lord to slam into the ground. Starscream threw him off of him, and quickly got up. Megatron shook his helm, and looked up just in time to receive a blow from Starscream's foot in his nasal plating. Starscream clutched at his chest, and grimaced. Arcee rushed over, "Ratchet, get over here!" The medic rushed over, and Arcee stepped back so he can examine his chest wound.
"I need to patch you up Starscream," Ratchet said, but Starscream shook his helm.
"I need to finish this," he said, and walked towards Megatron. Arcee grabbed his hand, and pulled him back, kissing him. Starscream wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her back.
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
Arcee pulled back, cycling air, "Please come back," she whispered, as Starscream's arms slipped from around her. He nodded, and turned to face Megatron. He aimed his missiles at him and fired. Megatron dodged, and it hit the wall of the mine. The ceiling began to shake.
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied Christ
Tourniquet
My suicide
Starscream and Megatron looked up, and saw the ceiling began to collapsed, "We need to get out of here!" Ratchet yelled, and began running back to the entrance of the mine. Arcee looked at Starscream, and saw he had talons locked with Megatron, "Arcee! Now!" Ratchet yelled, but she stood frozen like a statue.
She couldn't lose another partner.
The walls began collapsing around them, and it seemed everything moved in slow motion. Ratchet ran back, and pulled on Arcee's hand, yelling at her. Starscream turned around, and mouthed the word go to Arcee. She shook her helm, tears running down her facial plating. Starscream repeated it, and turned back to Megatron. Ratchet began pulling her, and she reluctantly followed him. Ratchet looked over his shoulder, and saw Megatron fire his cannon at Starscream before the ceiling collapsed, cutting them off.
Ratchet pulled Arcee through the mine, as the whole thing collapsed. Bulkhead saw them, and called for them to hurry. Ratchet ran past him, followed by Arcee. Bulkhead pulled her out, and ran towards where everyone was gathered.
With a groan, the whole mine gave in, collapsing and rocks falling everywhere. They turned around, facing the ruins of the energon mine. Arcee breathed hard, sitting on the ground. Bumblebee sat down next to her, and placed an arm around her.
Everyone was silent.
