They say never judge a book by it's cover. Well, you'd be more than dead if you tried to judge me by my appearance. I maybe small, but I pack a mean punch if you mess with me and my team... Oh, I'm sorry. That was rude... hey there! I'm Windswept! And boy, have I got a story to tell you. Well, what are you waiting for?! Get over here and get ready for my adventures on Team Prime!
I had serious intentions about about updating this story for weeks, but unfortunately life got a little busy again. I had been seriously ill throughout the June and July with the winter flus and whatnot, and they decided to leave me a goodbye present once I had finally gotten over them. I was rushed into the doctors a few weeks ago with gastritis, which is when the acid that normally digests the food is getting through to the stomach lining and making things very painful. Last couple of weeks I've been on meds, a little bit of bed rest and on a little bit of a food watch too.
I've got some free time on me right now as I've had mock exams for this past week and will continue until Tuesday. The last couple of days I've spent them studying, but now I'm free to do anything now I've completed those mocks. So I decided 'Hey! Why not update this story!"
Thank you to GRAVEM1ND for following this story.
- Transformers Prime does not belong to me. All rights go to the people and brands who were able to create this show.
- Windswept and the slowly growing list of OC's belong to me.
(Chapter Title: The Master VS The Student)
The Spacebridge was in sight, Megatron floating around before it and waiting for his Terracon army to come to the surface. But when explosions around the area made their presence, it was too late for the former leader of the Decepticons to do a single thing as the portal exploded in a blue ball.
"Such a shame." The explosion paused suddenly, revealing to be video footage that had recorded the incident merely a week and a half ago.
Rebecca was keeping count.
The girl had found a new friend in the Decepticons' recent recruit Moonlight, who had made her mark on the Warship immediately, already earning the respect of many of the Vehicons that followed the Decepticon cause.
Slipstream normally couldn't care less about recent developments. But in this case, it was on her mind just as much as Megatron's death was.
Moonlight was already taking over. And it wouldn't be long before her position would be threatened.
As she reviewed the footage of the once alive Megatron, Starscream beside her made his remarks about the former Warlord.
"But I applaud you, Megatron. You certainly made a grand exit."
The footage of the explosion played ahead, its' shock-waves going for miles and miles throughout the solar system.
The silver and red Decepticon looked over his shoulder just in time to find Soundwave walking up to the new leaders of the Decepticons behind them. "Ahh, Soundwave," he greeted, looking back at the monitors "Cue the audio/visual. Slipstream and I wish to address the troops."
Soundwave, like always, didn't say a word, nodding slightly and fulfilling the request given to him.
Inside various rooms of the Decepticon warships, Decepticon drones were typing furiously, control screens full of Cybertronian words only they could understand. They were searching for Energon, searching for Decepticon signals, searching for any Autobot activity that needed their leaders attention. Their work was halted, however, when the faces of Lord Starscream and Lady Slipstream appeared on their screens.
"The loss of Megatron, leader of a great Decepticon uprising is certainly a blow to our cause," Starscream's voiced echoed through the monitor.
"Yet, we will not despair over his tragic demise. But instead, we should embrace his ultimate sacrifice and build upon the foundation he laid with an even mightier hand," Slipstream continued, her voice smooth and without fault.
Surprisingly.
"With all due respect, Commander Star – uhh... LORD – Starscream and Lady Slipstream," a voice from below asked.
Slipstream and Starscream turned to the voice. The former was willingly to just shrug off the comment until her optics laid on the person the voice came from.
Was Rebecca about to make a fool out of both of them? With Moonlight at her side?
"Yes, yes, what is it, Rebecca?" Starscream greeted.
"If we failed to conquer Earth under Lord Megatron's command, what hope do we have now with you two in charge while the Autobots still defend the darn planet?" Rebecca asked, a genuine want to know evident in her voice.
Beside her, Moonlight looked up at the leaders of the Decepticons, crossing her arms and waiting for the answer. Slipstream growled at the thought of the two about to make a huge joke out of her and her brother.
Well, to be fair, she wasn't the one that was the joke of the Decepticons.
Starscream sighed in frustration, looking away briefly before beginning his speech, "Allow me to be crystal clear. Slipstream and I studied for millennia under our former master. Thus we are equipped to lead you. We are Megatron's true heirs: Lord Starscream and Lady Slipstream; Emperor and Empress of Destruction!"
His proclamation wasn't well-received by the Decepticon troops as much as he would've liked. They instead muttered between themselves in disbelief. Was Starscream serious? Was he really going to lead the Decepticons to victory over the Autobots?
They believed in Slipstream; they had never doubted her intentions. After all, at least she never ran away squealing and screaming when the Autobots appeared out of nowhere.
The Decepticons had no chance to win the war against the Autobots. Not with Starscream beside Slipstream.
The muttering between the drones stopped as they looked back at their new leaders, one of them who was shocked by the appraisal he was not receiving.
"But Lord Starscream and Lady Slipstream," Rebecca began when Starscream appeared to look ready to storm off, "Moonlight has also got many, many years of studying under Megatron's command." She paused with a knowing grin, sharing the smile with Moonlight's smirk beside her. "Shouldn't she also be apart of the leadership shared by you two?"
Slipstream's optics narrowed dangerously at the now seventeen year old human. She has never allowed Rebecca to make a fool out of her before. It wasn't going to start now.
"Was Moonlight second in command when Megatron's death occurred? Was she even with us at the time? No, because she was too busy helping an Autobot escape pod fly towards Earth. Because of this, she has helped the Autobot's gain yet another new recruit! So no, Rebecca, she will not be getting a part of the leadership while her villainous ways continue to not benefit anyone but the Autobots!"
With that said, the female leader of the Decepticons turned to her most trustworthy follower Soundwave, "Turn off the audio visual feed immediately."
As the link was cut, Starscream proceeded to storm down the bridge in frustration, "What use are troops who can't rise to the task of inflicting unspeakable destruction in our names?"
"Wait, Lord Starscream and Lady Slipstream!" The two paused in their tracks, turning around to find the floating Rebecca behind them. "Legend, oh and Moonlight of course, tells of a capable warrior that exists upon this very Earth."
"One who could be be the student..."
"To our master," Starscream finished his sister's sentence.
The trio shared a knowing smirk. Oh yes, this recent discovery could help the new leaders of the Decepticons help gain a better following of their Decepticon army than they were currently getting.
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
Since Starlight's arrival upon our new home only half a week ago, she's been able to make herself quite at home. Bumblebee, Raf, Carly and I have been helping her fit into Team Prime as much as we could. And slowly, but surely, she's fitted in pretty nicely. Even Arcee's come around and welcomed her in properly.
...I'm still not convinced that Arcee was convinced, but hey, as long as everyone was getting along, it was still a win.
The Decepticons have been a bit too quiet over the last couple of days since Starlight and Moonlight's arrival. I wondered at the prospect that she was already giving Slipstream grief over on that Decepticon warship already.
What am I thinking? It isn't our issue. I shouldn't bother myself with it.
"Hey, "Swept?" My thoughts were interrupted by my ever-growing closer friend Carly, who was busy with a science project she as well as Jack, Miko and Raf were all working on separately with their guardians.
"Chuck us that screwdriver over there, please?" Carly requested, pointing over to the screwdriver over on one of the crates near the Groundbridge controls.
I nodded at her request, standing up from my crossed-legged position on the floor. As I wandered over to the crate, being mindful of the humans and their Autobot friends also in the middle of working on their projects, I couldn't help but overhear the conversation between Ratchet and Optimus.
"Optimus. Why so glum?" Ratchet asked, "This planet – ALL planets – are free from Megatron's tyranny!"
"I do not disagree, Ratchet. It's just…a small part of me hoped to change Megatron's mind. Not extinguish his spark," Optimus confessed.
"Optimus, his vileness was not slain by your hand! But by his own twisted arrogance!" The medic reminded our leader.
All he got was a mix between a growl and a hum of thought out of the Autobot leader. Good job, Ratch...
"I'm sorry. I know the two of you had a history."
By this point, I was dying to put my, as humans call it, two cents worth into the conversation. But I knew better than to get involved. With the screwdriver in hand, I make my way back over to my friend..., but I kept my audio receptors open at the conversation that began fading from my hearing.
"But the Megatron whom I once fought beside perished aeons ago; the day he chose to become a Decepticon. The Decepticons may be in disarray, but they are not without leadership. And while Starscream and Slipstream are no Megatron, they are far from predictable."
Just as I sat down back on the floor beside Carly, a loud explosion halted the elder bots conversation and everyone around us. I activated my blaster and stood, ready to battle against whoever caused the explosion. But when I saw what exactly caused the explosion, I deactivated my blaster in realisation.
Unfortunately, because of all the smoke the explosion caused, Optimus and Ratchet must have not seen what caused the noise because of their conversation.
"DECEPTICONS! We're under attack!" Ratchet cried.
Immediately, we heard the racing footsteps of our leader and our medic racing over to us. As the smoke cleared, they finally got to see what it was the caused the explosion.
And it was all thanks to Bumblebee, Raf and Raf's science project.
"It's no attack, Ratchet," Raf reassured them, coughing from the smoke.
Starlight raced into the room suddenly from the corridor, holding one of her Kunai knives out and ready to stab anyone in sight. My guess was that she was in the training room when the explosion went off. I hadn't seen her at all this morning till this point.
"Woah, woah, Star!" Bumblebee immediately bleeped, racing up to grab Starlight's wrist and put it down at her side. His other arm waved over at the station he and Raf were working at, "It's just Raf's volcano."
"Ohhh," Starlight realised, sitting her knife at her hip with the others, walking to the area with Bumblebee.
As the smoke cleared and Raf's coughing subsided, the volcano drooped down, becoming a puddle of brown and red. He shrugged his shoulders in defeat, "Was."
"Hold still, Bulkhead!" We all looked behind us to find a cross-legged Bulkhead holding up strings of different sized circle orbs. Buckets of different coloured paints were on the ground with him. Miko dipped her paintbrush into the red paint bucket and prepared to paint one of the orbs, "Jupiter needs its red spot!" As she went to paint the orb, she spilt some of the paint on the ground. Miko reacted instantly, "Whoopsie!"
"What in the All Spark is going on around here?" Ratchet demanded.
"Our projects are due tomorrow," Jack answered with shrug
Yep, they decided to leave their projects to the last minute.
But I suppose when you meet Autonomous Robotic Organisms like us, gain new friends over the past week and a bit, and practically save your own home world, I guess it would make sense just to put everything else on hold.
Arcee and Jack were working nearby Carly and I. My teammate held up an exhaust pipe and looked at her charge in suggestion, "Maybe it needs one of these doo-hickies?"
"You're a motorcycle, Arcee. Shouldn't you know how to build a motorcycle engine?" He asked with a slight laugh.
"You're a human, Jack. Can you build me a small intestine?" She retorted.
"Well, you can't work on these projects in here. You're…making a mess!" Ratchet argued, trying to find an excuse to stop the humans from distracting his day.
It's either Ratchet's way or no way.
"But the science fair is a big part of our grade!" Raf objected.
"Yeah!" Miko agreed at the balcony, "If Bulkhead doesn't help me finish this model of our solar system…"
"Oh! And what does Bulkhead know of your solar system? Or Bumblebee and Starlight of your volcanoes?" Ratchet scoffed, "Or…"
"Windswept of our technology?" Carly continued with a roll her eyes.
Carly was attempting to create some sort of GlassPad. Kind of like what the humans referred to as the iPad, but it was supposed to be much, much larger. It functioned like an iPad, but the exterior looked like actual glass. It could be used as a mirror or even a window with the right press of a button. She had created the GlassPad so that it was Jack's height, having been using him as the what the human's would refer him as a guinea pig.
She had already sketched the ideas out at home and had already started on the control mechanisms for the inside of the project, as well as helping Raf sketch and create some sort of base model for his volcano. But that's as far as they got.
The next day, they became part of our war.
Their lives mattered more than their science projects.
"Or Arcee of our motorcycles?" Jack finished knowingly.
"Precisely! We're not Earthlings! And they're not scientists!" Ratchet finished cockily with his servos on his hips.
"But the Autobots are their guardians, Ratchet. Would it hurt to learn more about this planet by helping our young friends with their schoolwork?"
Optimus Prime, always on our side.
"Well, maybe our young friends should learn more about Cybertron!" Ratchet retorted.
I cringed inwardly. Those poor humans were about to get one heck of a history lesson from Ratchet if they weren't careful.
NO ONE'S P.O.V
Having being practically laughed at when he made his decree that the Decepticons would not become a lost cause while he was in charge, Starscream knew he had to make a move to emphasise his status as the new leader of the Decepticons.
Technically, co-leader since his more respected sister would be standing beside him.
So when Rebecca brought up the information regarding some of the history of a Decepticon warrior, he knew he couldn't simply ignore this lead. Leaving Moonlight in charge for the moment, much to Slipstream's not-so-secret dismay, Starscream, Slipstream, Rebecca and Soundwave took off for the co-ordinates hopefully leading them to what could be possibly be another new addition to their growing army.
The co-ordinates happened to lead them to familiar sight for Soundwave's mini-con Laserbeak. The canyon they were sent to was the site of where Laserbeak kidnapped the Autobot's human liaison Agent Fowler.
"During the great war, so much Energon was hidden on this forsaken rock. But our departed master sent some of Cybertron's greatest to guard it," Starscream explained, looking over the canyon, "True warriors now lying in stasis waiting to be reawakened."
"Such folly that late in life, Megatron had to search distant space for warriors rather than here beneath his own two feet," Slipstream sighed.
If Rebecca didn't know any better, she wouldn't have picked up on the fact that Slipstream wasn't just referring to the Terracons their former leader had attempted to transport to them.
Behind them, Soundwave was attempting to search for the hidden warriors beneath the Earth's surface, waiting to be reawakened like Starscream had explained. But when his first scan of the rock beneath them failed to pick up a signal...
"You can't pinpoint his signal? But we're so close!" Rebecca whined.
"Boost the power to your sensors!" Starscream ordered.
Soundwave did what he was told to do, boosting his sensors as far as it would be allowed. Doing so was a good move...
Starscream hummed in delight when it started provide something on Soundwave, "Yes. There."
The outline of a Decepticon symbol flashed on the silent Cybertronian's screen, proving Moonlight's theory. A Decepticon was lying in the canyon in stasis, waiting to be awakened and to join the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons
The trio of Decepticons transformed into their jet forms. Starscream and Soundwave flew away first, heading off to the direction the signal was resonating from. Allowing Rebecca to hop into the cockpit of her jet form, Slipstream quickly followed her co-leader and the silent second-in-command.
The trio flew into the canyon following the path of the signal. The Decepticon warrior hiding in stasis could be the that would help turn the tide of the Cybertronian war towards the Decepticons' advantage. And hopefully, maybe the two new leaders of their side could do what Megatron could have, but never did.
Destroy Optimus Prime...
Win the war...
Conquer Earth...
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
Raf was starting fall behind a little bit more than the rest of us, so Starlight decided to join in on the fun the boys were having and began helping out on the creation of the volcano. Bumblebee and Starlight had quickly fallen into discussion about their lives during the war as they worked.
Them, as well as me and many more scattered across the solar system, were one of the, if not the, last wave of Cybertronians to be born during the war. On a technicality, I guess you could say we were at the time the Autobot's last line of defence. But once we reached of age and a few years past it, that was when the war for Cybertron began to end once the planet began its' fatal spiral and we were all shipped off on escape pods and warships to flee the planet.
So we weren't really able to defend Cybertron like myself and many others were supposed to do.
As Bumblebee and Starlight continued their discussions, it seemed as if Raf was only starting to fall behind even further. It didn't look like it bothered him, though. I think he was enjoying the conversations that were taking place, even taking part in the recent one about Bumblebee's status as a scout.
"Uh huh... uh huh..." Raf nodded interestingly, sticking pieces of newspaper around the volcano to help shape it when it came to recreating the project, "Really, Bumblebee? Then how DO you make warrior class?"
Bumblebee activated his blasters, pointing them around as he continued, discussing how good he was on the battlefield and explaining how he was yet to move up to warrior class.
"But I've seen you in action! You're awesome!" Raf objected, getting ready to place another page of newspaper onto the volcano model.
Bumblebee nodded in modesty, beeping and whirring about how he didn't truly believe he was ready to move up to the next class.
"Oh come on, Bee!" Starlight began to protest playfully, "I haven't seen you in action yet, but I bet you're really, really good!"
Oh Starlight, please tell that is not flirting I can hear coming out of your mouth?
Optimus stopped Bumblebee from answering by placing his over-sized servo on his shoulder, "I second your opinion, Raf and Starlight. But Autobot life-cycles are longer than those of humans. And though it may be hard to believe, our young scout still has much to experience."
"I think quite a few of us do," Starlight agreed before her optics found mine, "But then again, some of us did go through quite a bit, huh 'Swept?"
I shook my head at the response, "What?" Please don't go there Star...
Iacon may have not been a very busy place, but the amount of stories that can come from there can make others believe otherwise very very quickly. The things myself, Starlight and many others, went through during the war on Cybertron were things that we will never, ever forget.
"You got another story to tell me there, 'Swept?" I looked down at Carly sitting up on her knees. We were taking a break from her GlassPad creation since all she had to do was to test her project. I think she knew what would be good to pass the break time.
"Uhhhh..."
The all too familiar signals from the computer screens where Ratchet was working interrupted our conversation. I felt suddenly relieved to be hearing those alarms.
"Maybe another time, Carly," I told her simply as I stood up.
"Exposed Energon! And it's on the move!" Ratchet announced.
"And since we're not moving it, guess who must be!" Bulkhead began, joining Ratchet.
"The one and only..." I continued.
"Decepticons!" Arcee finished.
"Without Megatron?" Miko asked in disbelief.
"Unfortunately, Megatron's legacy will live on as others rise to take his place," Optimus sighed gravely before looking at all of us, "Autobots, you have projects to complete. Ratchet, I may require aid."
Ratchet looked over his shoulder at Rafael working on his volcano and looked to be taking a moment to think about the request from Optimus, "The science fair is a big part of their grade." The orange and white medic looked up the Prime, "Perhaps I'm better suited to remain behind and advise."
Oh no...
"Very well. Bumblebee, Windswept, let us see about this Energon in transit," Optimus suggested.
Bumblebee was nodding and standing proudly, ready to gain more experience to move up to warrior status.
I, on the other hand, was a little bit more surprised when Optimus called out for me to join on. I'd been getting out of base more than I had anticipated. But hey, since Carly was practically finished her project and all I was gonna do was stand around and do nothing, I may as well log in a few more missions.
I looked over at Carly, who just shrugged, "Story time later then?"
I relented and nodded at the almost pleading look she was giving me. I looked down at the complete GlassPad, reminding me of Ratchet staying in the base, "Go store that in Starlight's berthroom. We can take it home with you when I come back."
Starlight nodded at the suggestion and began moving over to the corridor as Carly began packing up.
Ratchet was going to be staying here and helping the humans complete their own projects hit me. I knew I had to get Carly get her project away from him. I felt bad for the others who weren't even close to finishing theirs. I don't believe in Ratchet allowing them finish the projects they had already started.
Welcome to Cybertronian Basics 101, everybody! Starring our very own, Ratchet the medic!
NO ONE'S P.O.V
When the Decepticon signal the four Decepticons were following lead them to a hidden compartment deep within the rock formation, Slipstream and Starscream wasted no time in removing what they found to be a cargo box in the hidden compartment.
Upon successfully pulling it out, the twins walked away and it looked at with glee. Inside the cargo would hopefully be their winning move of the war.
"Excellent Soundwave," Starscream complimented.
"The cube please?" Slipstream asked, holding out her servo towards Soundwave while her attentions still were locked on the cargo box.
Soundlessly, Soundwave brought out a small box. The box when opened revealed a glowing blue Energon cube. In order to revive and Cybertronian lying deep within stasis, it would need to be awoken by their lifeblood. During its' time in stasis, the blood would've stopped running from the lack of movement from the Cybertronian.
Slipstream, without looking at what she was doing, slipped the glowing cube out of its' little box and placed it at the edge of a square hole in the middle of the cargo box. The box took it like it was swallowing the Energon into the Cybertronian within it.
Stepping back, the female leader of the Decepticons watched with her brother, Soundwave and Rebecca as the familiar sounds of machinery whirred to life in the cargo box.
"The Energon infusion. It's working!" Starscream announced with glee.
As the container began opening, the bright flash of blue light that appeared became bright and brighter. Becoming blinded by the colour, the Decepticons couldn't help but turn away as their Cybertronian started to come to life...
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
Bumblebee and I were the first to walk out the Groundbridge upon arrival. Optimus soon arrived behind us and just as the portal closed, I could hear the sounds of machinery whirring nearby. I exchanged a knowing look with 'Bee and Optimus before we looked a few hundred feet away to our right.
"That doesn't sound good…" Bumblebee whirred.
"No, Bumblebee, it does not. Hold your position and await my command," Optimus instructed us going to investigate the whirring.
'Bee and I followed his instruction and hid behind a rock, awaiting the next command from our leader.
NO ONE'S P.O.V
With the Energon transfusion now complete, the bright blue light had disappeared. Slowly, the cargo box began opening before them.
"Awaken, warrior. Rise and serve your new masters!" Starscream proclaimed.
As the cargo box opened, it began to reveal the look and colour of the Decepticon. His red piercing eyes immediately opened, starring down at the Cybertronians who had awoken him from stasis. He was a mostly rusty green colour with white splattered on him and a touch of red splashed here and there. He took his first steps and began immediately stretching, punching his fists together above his head. Starring down at the small Decepticons below him, he spoke for the first time in many, many years.
"Skyquake serves only one master."
"Excellent. Your loyalty and devotion will set a fine example for the troops. No need to be timid, Skyquake. You may bow," Starscream invited.
"You fail to grasp my meaning. I am here on a mission, assigned to me by my one master: Megatron," Skyquake corrected.
"Yes, him," Starscream sighed.
"Megatron is no longer with us," Slipstream informed the Decepticon, "Sadly."
"Impossible!" Skyquake gasped.
"Why is it so difficult for everyone to accept?" Starscream muttered in frustration before looking up at the recently awoken Decepticon," Skyquake, we located you. We awakened you. Thus, we, Lord Starscream and Lady Slipstream, are now your masters!"
Skyquake growled at the Decepticon, bending down as if he was preparing to show the supposed leader of the Decepticons just who he thought was the real leader.
Starscream took a few steps back in fear, getting the message that Skyquake was attempting to send him through growls and glaring from his eyes. The smaller Decepticon knew that if he wasn't careful, he wouldn't be leader of the Decepticons for long.
"It has been a while, Skyquake."
Skyquake and Starscream turned to find the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, merely standing a distance from them. Starscream had never looked so relieved in seeing Optimus, grinning up at the awakened Decepticon like he knew that his recently revived soldier would be distracted by his enemy.
Shoving away the Decepticon who keeps calling him his 'new master', Skyquake stood to full height, lowly growling at the sight of his enemy, "Optimus Prime. I haven't seen you since the Battle of Technor. Megatron ordered me to annihilate you."
"That was a long time ago," Optimus reminded the Decepticon.
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
Bumblebee and I peaked around the corner of the rock formation, seeing the discussion between Optimus and this Decepticon our leader referred to as Skyquake. We also spotted Starscream, Slipstream and Soundwave nearby watching them.
In my time that I was alive and on Cybertron, I never came across the Decepticon Skyquake. But as far as I had heard through the, what humans would refer to as the, grapevine, Skyquake was fiercely loyal to the Decepticon cause, especially to Megatron. If Starscream and Slipstream wanted to control Skyquake, they would need to prove a heck of a lot to him they could take on the Decepticon reins and became better leaders than Megatron.
And we all know that's never going to happen.
"That may be, Prime," Skyquake began as Optimus took a few steps further towards him, "But my orders still stand."
"Is this ancient war still worth fighting? When so many comrades have been lost? And worlds destroyed? If you two want to be true leaders, Starscream and Slipstream, then stray from Megatron's path and lead the Decepticons towards peace," Optimus pleaded them.
Skyquake wasn't the only one that was fiercely loyal to the Decepticons. I didn't know about Starscream, but Slipstream had been on Megatron's side from the get-go. There was no way that Optimus, or I for that matter, could turn her against the side that had practically raised her.
Starscream was a bit more difficult to predict.
"I would be willing to consider a truce…if you would be willing to bow before us, Optimus Prime," Starscream mocked.
"AGAIN?" Skyquake suddenly intervened with a growl. He seemed frustrated by Starscream's attempts to get him, as well as Optimus, to follow his command, "BOW TO THIS!"
Skyquake threw a punch at Starscream, sending him flying over to the cliff face. I grinned in excitement at this turn of events, watching Starscream collide against a rock cliff. He stumbled up with a groan and transformed, probably not wanting to get himself in a middle of a battle. Huh, he's smarter than he thought.
I expected Slipstream to follow her pathetic brother. A curious look probably appeared on my face when she didn't move a single digit. She looked like she was expecting something.
"Skyquake, this is a new era. On another world. Side with the Autobots and help me end this conflict forever," Optimus once again pleaded to the newly-awakened Decepticon.
"I will NEVER side with a Prime!" Skyquake proclaimed.
With a battle cry, Skyquake charged towards Optimus. My leader was prepared to take on whatever the Decepticon had to give for him, yet he never saw the first punch coming. We all didn't really. The hit sent Optimus towards a nearby archway and heavily landing with it. Skyquake immediately grabbed Optimus by the shoulders and began throwing him around like a rag doll.
No, no, no. You do not get to mess with my leader and get away with it.
"Scrap this!" I activated my blaster and glanced at Bumblebee, "Stay here!"
Before I could see his response, I immediately began charging at the Decepticon, firing blaster shots at the green and white Cybertronian. He ignored my blasters; he was more interested in Optimus lying on the ground.
Hey buddy, that Autobot on the ground is my leader, and someone I look up too. No way are you getting more of your grubby servos on him.
I looked around to see if I could use anything to my advantage when I saw the lone human, female I think, floating in mid air. Her hands were curled into fists and her brown eyes staring at my frame. The pale-skinned girl looked familiar... I stopped mid-step.
Rebecca?
NO ONE'S P.O.V
High above the ensuing battle stood Soundwave, having been simply overlooking the discussion between Starscream, Slipstream and Skyquake, the appearance of Optimus Prime and the battle that quickly begun the second Starscream took off.
Said Decepticon transformed behind the silent Decepticon, holding his backside and groaning at the pain Skyquake had inflicted upon him when he punched him into the rock cliff, "What need have we for peace when we have Skyquake?" He asked rhetorically with a fold of his arms behind him.
Slipstream's jet form appeared seconds later, transforming and landing on the other side of Soundwave while Starscream continued.
"With some discipline, he will learn to respect his new master. And once it becomes known that Skyquake destroyed Optimus Prime under our command, all Decepticons will gratefully bow to us."
Slipstream rolled her eyes silently, "They'll need to come to respect you first, Starscream. They already respect me and trust my judgement."
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
"Rebecca Rose," I whispered, looking over the now teenage girl.
"Indeed Windswept," She nodded with a smirk, "I haven't managed to get a good look at you in years."
"Neither have I. Though, to be honest, I thought you were dead."
Rebecca brought a hand to her chest, "Wha...? You thought moi would be dead? But I'm a superhuman!" She laughed in disbelief.
"Whatever the Decepticons did you did more than just give extended abilities," I commented, rolling my optics.
"Now, I'd love to stick around and battle you, but I'm afraid that I have the death of Optimus Prime to watch." Before I knew it, Rebecca had disappeared before my optics...
With the use of a hoverboard?
Hmm, now that sounds like a great science project.
I expected her to be unpredictable. I could sense something was coming. I was concerned when I looked around me and was unable to find her.
A sharp pain in between my winglets caused me to cry out. Oh wow... the pain was like a human bee sting Carly had described to me once. It was was so sharp! Oh, oh Primus stop this monster that was inflicting this pain! Primus please!
"I'm not a joke, Windswept. Just remember that."
Seriously?! The second warning in less than two weeks?!
The sharpness of whatever was in my back disappeared. Despite the pain, I stood to full height and looked around for that little Rebecca brat.
She had disappeared.
Dammit!
I bent down and rest my servos on my thigh plating. My energy had suddenly disappeared, and I desperately needed it to overcome this wound I now had on me.
Bumblebee came up behind me and rubbed my back comfortingly, "You okay, 'Swept?"
"Yeah...yeah... I will be," I panted out in answer.
We looked up just in time to see Optimus take a few hits from Skyquake's blaster gun. Bumblebee whirred in anger, racing away from me to the recently re-awoken Decepticon. I reached out to grasp his wrist to stop him, but my actions were too late.
"Bumblebee! NO!" Optimus yelled at the scout, warning him to back away.
Our teammate refused to listen, leaping up and attacking Skyquake from behind with his blaster. A few of those shots landed onto the Decepticon's armour. The Decepticon grew enraged and retaliated instantly, pointing his blaster gun at Bumblebee and beginning his attack.
I took this distraction as a small advantage to myself. With the sharpness in my back having subsided a little now, I began racing over the other of Skyquake towards Optimus to join him. We watched Bumblebee dodge each blasters shots, jumping from wall to wall. He went in for a close attack, only to have the Decepticon grab a hold of him and spin into the wall.
"Stay put!" Optimus yelled to me, charging towards the green and white Decepticon.
The Prime managed to stop Skyquake from firing more shots at Bumblebee, but he wasn't enough to stop Skyquake from treating him like a rag doll just like he did with Optimus and throwing him away. I had to leap out of the way to dodge the poor scout, despite the strain it put on my back. I quickly ran to my teammate to aid him when I landed.
NO ONE'S P.O.V
"Do not miss a single moment, Soundwave!" Starscream instructed, looking at the footage being recorded by Soundwave of Skyquake and Optimus preparing to duel once more, "We shall need visual documentation of Optimus Prime's demise for the historical record!"
Watching the battle from the edge of the cliff face, Rebecca's eyes narrowed over her shoulder at Starscream's remark, whispering to herself, "You silly fool. Skyquake maybe strong, he'll need more than just his strengths to beat Optimus Prime."
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
Optimus and Skyquake quickly began throwing punches the second I began helping Bumblebee up. Our leader threw the first punch, quickly getting a fist to the shoulder in response. He ducked when Skyquake went to retaliate with his other one. Optimus attempted to get the upper hand over the reawakened Decepticon when the latter threw another punch at him, sending him skidding towards us.
Now on our feet, Bumblebee bleeped to Optimus about how we are going to get the upper hand over the strong Decepticon.
He wasn't wrong. I've come across a lot of strong Decepticons; only a few of them could match up to this one's stamina.
"Skyquake has not yet acquired a vehicle mode," Optimus whispered in answer.
He was right. Skyquake had only been wandering around for not even ten minutes. He hasn't had the time to acquire a vehicle form, let alone an appropriate one to fit his stature at that. I smirked at our upper hand.
Skyquake's blaster reappeared is his hands, reloading in preparation to start firing at us again. He started charging towards us with a battle cry.
"FALL BACK!"
We followed Optimus' instruction and transformed into our vehicle modes, using this at our advantage. Reversing away from the stomping mech, we spun around and began our race away from the rapidly approaching Decepticon. In the dust mist that we kicked up in our haste, I could see Skyquake pause in his charge through the rear-view mirror.
"So time has made you a coward, Prime?" Skyquake yelled out, firing more shots from his blaster gun.
NO ONE'S P.O.V
Ratchet had made himself quite busy at the Autobot base, but not exactly in a good way. Instead of doing what he had said and just supervising the progress of the children's science projects, he had decided on constructing the NEW science projects as part of the children's learning of Cybertron.
"Let's see. Where is it?" The medic mumbled to himself, looking over the project he was making.
"Um…what is it?" Raf asked, looking up at what was his former volcano.
"You'll find out," Ratchet answered as he went back to work, blue sparks flying left, right and centre.
"Ratchet, Raf should be doing the work," Carly began to argue, leaning forward on the protective bars at the balcony, "It's his project after all!"
Ratchet snapped at the small boy when he went touch the enlarged volcano, "Don't touch! Just watch and learn!"
"So…" Bulkhead hummed, gaining everyone but the orange and white medic's attention, "We're just gonna go help Jack and Miko finish THEIR-"
"Without my supervision?" Ratchet immediately cut off Bulkhead to ask in disbelief. He paused in his work and stood up to look at the Autobot trio, "You want them to be right, don't you?"
Arcee, Bulkhead and Starlight exchanged a look. Yes, they wanted their charges to be right and do well in their projects. But the whole point of doing their projects was to do them THEMSELVES. That didn't mean that a know-it-all Autonomous Robotic Organism had to be involved.
But, if it kept Ratchet busy, and happy, then did they really want to ruin that for him?
When the Autobots looked back at Ratchet, he restarted the tool he had activated on his hand, "Then watch a master at work!"
"Control freak," Miko remarked to Jack and Carly, the pair who couldn't help but nod in agreement
Watching Ratchet hard at work, Carly gulped, "Was I the only one that saw that strange gleam in his eye?"
When the Autobots had taken off in retreat of the newly awakened Decepticon, they managed to get him to follow after them. During their haste, it allowed the Decepticons to lose the sight of them, which wasn't a good thing. They needed to watch the demise of their enemies! And they needed proof of it!
"We've lost sight of them!" Rebecca groaned in frustration.
"Soundwave, why aren't you tracking them?" Starscream screeched. He paused when he heard a signal emanating from the eyes and ears of the Decepticons, turning to him quickly "What? What is it?"
Soundwave was instead more focused on something else he had discovered during the battle. He provided the image of a map on his screen. But this was no ordinary map. It wasn't a map of the battle between the Autobots and their Decepticon. But one of Earth high in space.
And where a Decepticon life signal was located.
"A second Decepticon life signal?" Starscream scoffed in disbelief, "But Skyquake is the only sleeper buried in this area!"
Rebecca and Slipstream studied the map, looking closer at the screen when Soundwave zoomed in on the life signal. Upon closer inspection, Rebecca gasped at the realisation - those coordinates were very familiar.
"That's the sight of our destroyed Spacebridge!"
"You're not telling us that life signal belongs to Megatron?" Slipstream asked in disbelief, "Are you?"
It was impossible! She saw it all on the monitors that day! Megatron couldn't have survived that deadly explosion!
"But he was microns from the destination point! Nothing could have survived that blast! Your sensors must be faulty! Ignore the contact! Delete the coordinates!" Starscream immediately instructed Soundwave.
Slipstream knew why Starscream was automatically denying the fact that Megatron could have survived the explosion. Although, if he had, there would be a slim chance that he could actually fully recover. The Decepticon signal was out there in space, flashing and waiting to be rescued.
"What are you saying? Of course it must be investigated!" Slipstream began arguing, "If Megatron is up there, I shall bring him home. And you're coming with me." She poked Starscream in the chest.
Nodding his head quickly at his sister's demand, Starscream turned to Soundwave, "Remain here and monitor the outcome. When Skyquake snuffs Prime's spark, I must bare witness."
Slipstream and Starscream jumped into the canyon below. Transforming into their jet forms before hitting the ground, they began their flight into space to check on the Decepticon life signal. They left Rebecca and Soundwave to watch their jet forms disappear in the sky.
"Must bare witness."
Rebecca looked up at Soundwave when she heard the repeated words. She waved a hand over at him, "You know what to do."
Nodding, the silent Decepticon disconnected his mini-con from his chest. The two watched as Laserbeak flew after the twin Decepticons' vapour trail they left behind.
"Tango Six Alpha to Station Command. We're picking up transmissions originating from unidentified technology. Possibly hostile. We are moving to investigate."
"Negative, Tango Six Alpha." The communications were immediately interrupted."This is Special Agent William Fowler intercepting. Strike your report from the record and abide origin coordinates. I'll take it from here." He quickly flew his jet down into the canyon he happened to be flying over.
What were those blasted Autobots up to now?
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
To distract Skyquake from his running behind us, Bumblebee and I decided to split apart from Optimus in an attempt to make Skyquake figure out which one of us to follow. He chose our path and kept on our heels. I knew Optimus wouldn't be too far behind us and so did Bumblebee so we kept Skyquake on our heels as much as possible.
We came across two different paths and that's when we made the decision to split up, Bumblebee heading to the right while I continued to left. Skyquake chose my teammate's path. I skid to a stop and spun around to follow them. By the time I caught up, Bumblebee had transformed and stopped. I could see from where I was that his path was a dead end... Well scrap.
Skyquake edged closer towards him. I transformed in slight panic, trying to come up with a plan to help him.
"It will be a shame to crush you, bug. But it is my duty," Skyquake remarked, getting ready to strike.
The familiar sound of a horn made me jump out of the way, Optimus speeding past in his truck form. Skyquake spun around at the horn and quickly fired at him. Optimus took the hits and transformed, leaping to punch Skyquake in the face. The hit sent the Decepticon flying into the cliff face behind Bumblebee.
"Excellent strategy, Bumblebee and Windswept," Optimus complimented when 'Bee and I were behind him.
Skyquake moaned and fell from the cliff face to the ground. Suddenly, he opened his optics and leaped up, scratching Optimus' windscreen on his chest.
"Skyquake, stay down." With that instruction, my leader punched the Decepticon again, this time a lot harder.
With bits of shrapnel flying of his face, Skyquake fell to the ground, now weakened from the punches. Before we could do anything about the him, the sound of a jet filled our audio receptors. We looked up and spotted a jet flying overhead... Hey, I've seen that jet once or twice on occasion... Is that...?
"Fowler?" Optimus voiced my, and probably 'Bee's, thoughts.
When we looked down at Skyquake, he was scanning the jet above us! Scrap, he must've used our distraction as his advantage.
"Agent Fowler, fall back!" Optimus ordered through the comm link to the Agent.
Skyquake jumped up and transformed into his new jet form, flying up to the sky above us to Fowler's jet.
There goes our advantage...
"Well, I'll be a bald eagle!" Fowler yelled in disbelief.
Skyquake flew back into our view, "Air superiority achieved." He began firing shots at us from above, etching closer and closer towards.
We immediately began running for cover to escape the Decepticon's blaster fire, eventually transforming into our vehicle forms to escape at a faster pace. Through my mirror, I saw Agent Fowler fly behind the Decepticon and begin shooting at him to distract him from us.
Thank goodness for the Agent that says weird stuff!
NO ONE'S P.O.V
"Stealing plans for classified military aircraft will NOT be tolerated on my watch!" Fowler proclaimed, continuing to fire shots at the phoney military aircraft.
The Agent instantly became Skyquake's new target, having a group of missiles being shot at him. He took one look at the radar in his cockpit and gaped, "Heatseakers!"
With the use of his military training, Fowler was able to fly around the canyon and towards a dead end. He pulled up quickly, smirking proudly as he saw the missiles blow when they hit the rock cliff below him.
"I still got it."
Meanwhile, in the depths of space, Starscream and Slipstream arrived at what was left of the Spacebridge. Pieces of the portal were still floating around. But that wasn't what the Decepticon leaders had arrived to the area for.
There was a Decepticon life signal to find.
Landing on a large piece of floating shrapnel, the twins looked around at the sight of what once was their Spacebridge.
"No one could've survived this," Slipstream whispered in a defeated tone.
"As I suspected, faulty sensors. The last thing we need now are rumours that Megatron is still-"
A painful gasp interrupted the new Decepticon Lord. The twins looked towards the direction of where the desperate gasp had come from and spotted the body of their former leader floating around amidst the shrapnel. Floating over to the body, Starscream landed on his chassis.
"Megatron?"
Slipstream rolled her eyes at the fake concern Starscream gave for their former Master. She knew that the chance of leading the Decepticons he had been given was something that he was NOT going to give up so easily. So she knew finding Megatron still floating around in space, being alive enough emanate a life signal, was a big blow to his plans as Decepticon leader.
Megatron suddenly reached up and grabbed Starscream's arms, his piercing red eyes silently pleading the mech to help him. But his injuries got the better of him, collapsing back into his lifeless float.
"But how?" Starscream asked himself, trying to figure out how Megatron survived such a disaster. But then his eyes trailed down to the larger Decepticon's chest, the gaping hole revealing the glowing purple shard of Dark Energon his former leader had stabbed himself with not even a day after returning from his three year absence.
Starscream sighed in realisation, "Dark Energon."
The male leader of the Decepticons leaned closer to the struggling Decepticon, whispering to him, "Everyone believes you are deceased. Rebecca, the recently arrived Moonlight." His voice dropped slightly. "Who are we to disappoint them, hmm?"
Starscream reached his clawed hands into Megatron's chest, pulling the glowing shard out of the former Decepticon warlord's chest. At the movement, Megatron came to life. He reached out for the shared that fueled him, his eyes silently pleading to be stabbed and be brought back to life. But the injuries were too bad for him, too hard to fight against, falling lifelessly once more.
This time, the red light in his optics faded to black.
Slipstream couldn't believe what her optics had just seen. Something that confirmed her thoughts.
Starscream was more traitorous than she had first suspected.
"I'm sorry, Megatron," Slipstream whispered when Starscream used his heels to push Megatron away.
But he wasn't out of the clear just yet. The humming sound of Laserbeak arriving onto the scene forced the blue and purple Decepticon to float over to her brother.
"SOUNDWAVE!" Starscream gasped, remembering the scene that had just occurred before him.
"Soundwave, we must transport our Lord immediately to the warship's med-bay as he is severely injured after his ordeal with the Spacebridge," Slipstream said to Laserbeak, her voice flawlessly portraying a tone of despair.
Starscream looked at her with disbelief while his clawed hanf clutched the glowing purple shard behind his back.
Did Slipstream really just save his aft?
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
The chase continued. Optimus, Bumblebee and I continued racing and dodging our way from the blaster fire Skyquake was raining down upon us. He hit part of the rock formation behind us, exploding in grey smoke and orange flame.
Suddenly, the blaster fire from the Decepticon hit my motorcycle form. I yelled out in the sudden pain as I flew in the air. I transformed in an attempt to get my footing, but another blaster shot hit the middle of my back, where the sharp stinging pain from Rebecca was. I lost my landing position and instead landed on my side, tumbling down the rocky ground.
A groan escaped me when I landed on my side. I moved my helm around to find Optimus close by in a position of crouching or sitting - he must've got hit too. I attempted to sit up, but my back protested in pain, nearly making me collapse back on the ground. The overly sized servo on my back slowly helped me to my knees.
Thank you Optimus Prime.
Hang on a minute. Where's Bumblebee?
As I stood with help from Optimus, I found spotted the familiar Urbana 500 still travelling along the road with Skyquake still shooting at his tailpipe. Bumblebee drove up the cliff face in the distance, transforming and running towards the canyon where the Decepticon was flying back in. 'Bee leaped down the rock formations and managed to reach out enough to grab one of Skyquake's wings.
The Decepticon began to fly out of control with the added weight on one side of him. He scrapped my teammate against the rock formations to try shaking him off. Then the 'Con flew up into the sky, obviously trying a different approach. I couldn't tell what he was up to, but whatever he was doing, it made me fear for 'Bee.
"Agent Fowler, we require immediate assistance!" Optimus must've felt the same concern.
I narrowed my optics. Fowler was the reason why Skyquake had a jet form in the first place... though he also the reason we were all still alive. I didn't know whether to grateful or annoyed at our liaison.
NO ONE'S P.O.V
Bumblebee quickly managed to climb on top of Skyquake's jet form, immediately punching into the jet and ripping parts out of the Decepticons wiring, flinging them into the air. The scout's action meant that Skyquake was now damaged to the point where he was unable to provide a safe landing for either Cybertronian.
Agent Fowler quickly appeared on the trail of the smoking aerial vehicle heading down to the canyon below. He flew to the side of the out of control Decepticon, looking over at Bumblebee, who began whirring in question.
"Anytime, fella. Ground floor's coming up fast!" Fowler remarked, looking down at the ground before him.
Figuring out that Agent Fowler was flying beside him to help him, Bumblebee leaped from the badly damaged jet form of Skyquake to Agent Fowler's jet. From there, they watched the smoking jet make its descent to the ground.
WINDSWEPT'S P.O.V
Optimus and I watched Skyquake's black-smoking fighter jet form heavily crash-land in the canyon before us with an exploding bang. The 'Con skidded along the desert ground before coming to rest a few hundred feet away from his landing position.
"Happy landings, 'Con," Agent Fowler smirked.
Optimus and I approached the Decepticon. Surely he couldn't have survived that crash landing, especially since Bumblebee looked to have done a decent number on him by punching into him and pulling out all his wiring. He'd be some sort of Cybertronian God if he had!
Agent Fowler flew away from the canyon, probably happy with another day's work. 'Bee jumped from the cliff edge near us before he joined us in walking up to the mangled mess that was now Skyquake. I looked over his part jet, part Cybertornian form and nodded in satisification - there goes another one...
Optimus removed his mouth guard, still overlooking the offline Decepticon, "Had Skyquake chosen to stray from his master's path, we might not be burying him today."
A few feet away, I spotted something in front of Skyquake's offline form - his cargo pod. Huh, how tragic...
NO ONE'S P.O.V
Rebecca and Soundwave watched the Autobots began burying the now dead Decepticon. The female teenager couldn't help but sigh at the Decepticon's failed attempt to kill three the Autobots that had turned up.
"And yet another one bites the dust," She whispered with shake of her head.
Her mind then turned its attentions to the fact that Starscream and Slipstream had left to search the Decepticon signal high into space.
Maybe Megatron hadn't bitten the dust just yet.
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
After yesterday's events, Optimus gave Bumblebee and I the day off guardian duties, deciding that we needed to be sure that we weren't severely injured from the battle.
I sustained a small stab wound my in back thanks to whatever Rebecca used during the early stages of the battle with Skyquake. I wish I knew what it was that brat had stabbed me with, but since Optimus and Bumblebee didn't see what she had used either, I had realised that maybe I wasn't supposed to know. Regardless, the stab wound was small and should heal over the next day or so. Nothing to stop me from my duty as being guardian to Carly as well as being one of Team Prime's fighters.
Oh yeah... Carly, Jack, Miko and Raf handed in their science projects today. I wonder how that went...
"Bumblebee, putting yourself at risk was perhaps not the wisest of strategies. But you performed admirably," Optimus complimented Bumblebee when Ratchet had finished checking him over for any injuries his scanning had missed yesterday. Our leader looked down at both of us, "The pair of you."
Bumblebee bleeped his thanks for the compliment to Optimus as he stepped out of the chamber.
I looked over at Ratchet - does he have a spring in his step? That's a rare feat considering he's never happy about anything these days... Huh, thinking about the sudden perk in his mood made me think about the science projects the humans were working on. They had left with them before Optimus, 'Bee and I got back.
I hope Ratchet didn't mess with their projects.
"Hey guys." We looked over at Starlight walking up to us, "Arcee and Bulkhead are back with the kids." The sound of Bulkhead's horn coming from the entry tunnel backed her statement.
Ratchet suddenly became excited, immediately heading off to greet the humans, "Aha-ha-ha, there you are!"
Ratchet got a hold of kid's projects, didn't he?
Optimus and I exchanged a knowing look.
Arcee arrived in first with Jack and Carly with her. Since I wasn't available to pick up Carly, and with Starlight still needing some lessons about Earth, I handed over the reins to Arcee for the day. She wasn't exactly too pleased about the idea, but she agreed with me about Carly and Jack getting closer. So I told her to think of it as a little spy project.
She warmed to the idea immediately.
Bulkhead was close behind, parking up and opening the doors for Miko and Raf to leap out of his vehicle form before he and 'Cee transformed behind them.
"Well, how were my – uhhh, OUR projects received?"
"Well..." Raf began, trailing off when the humans began to exchange knowing looks.
Uh-oh...
NO ONE'S P.O.V
It started with Miko...
"Miss Nakadai, what planet would that be?" the science teacher asked confusedly.
"Um…Cybertron," Miko answered with a shrug.
The string that the planet of all Cybertronians was being held up by wasn't strong enough to hold the entire weight of the orb, landing with a hollow thud on the teacher's desk.
Next up was Jack...
"Well its large Mr Darby. But is it operational?" the science teacher asked curiously.
Jack bent down and lifted a lever. On cue the machine lit up. immediately jumping up and down and bouncing all around the room. It eventually reached the door, knocking it down effortlessly and immediately causing havoc in the hallways.
And finally, it was Raf's turn.
"I hesitate to ask, Mr Esquivel, but is it active?" The science teacher asked nervously when he saw the volcano behind the young student cackling with blue electricity.
Raf stood away from the volcano and pressed a button on the remote in his hand. The volcano immediately spat out its' contents in an orange beam, slicing through the roof and into the sky...
WINDSWEPT P.O.V
"Well, on our planet, you would have been awarded the highest honour!" Ratchet scoffed in disbelief before mumbling away, "Absolutely no gratitude..."
Bumblebee wandered up casually to Optimus, whirring to him a comment that nearly made me start laughing in agreement.
"Indeed Bumblebee," Optimus agreed amusingly, "Our human friends would have been wise to stray from Ratchet's path."
"What about Carly?" Starlight asked.
I looked down at my charge, who was digging the toe of her sandal shyly into the ground. She held her helmet that had her deceased brother's name written on it against her stomach.
"Carly?" I questioned curiously when she didn't reply.
Passing the helmet to Miko, the brown-haired teenage girl pulled out her phone and began typing on it. After a moment, she reached it out towards me. I bent down to get a look.
The GlassPad she had created was sitting proudly on a table. And it had a beautiful blue ribbon with the number '1' and an exclamation mark beside it.
I smirked at her proudly, "That's my girl."
NO ONE'S P.O.V
The Decepticon Warship floated around deep within space peacefully and calmly as if nothing was happening. Nope, nothing at all.
Oh, except for one thing.
"The troops will be pleased to hear of our success in rushing lord Megatron into stasis."
Lying before Starscream, Slipstream, Rebecca, Soundwave and Moonlight was Lord Megatron himself. Unconscious on the medical berth he was provided with, the warlord had multiple cables connecting to his frame. His spark beat was nothing but beeps coming from the monitor keeping him alive.
"Let us hope that our master pulls through."
Maybe another chapter of this might pop up in the next day or so. Maybe. We'll see what I get caught up with.
