Chapter 8 - Friendly conversation

(NOTE: No relation to 'Black and white Autobot family)

All pure FICTION!

'Blah' normal talk

blah thoughts aloud

'blah' talking through comlink

The Autobots had to drag Proton back to the ship, due to his outbursts and swearing over his family being 'dug up' out their tombs.

Prowl, noting he was Einsteel's prototype creation, now knows Einsteel now has his 'dead' ancestors, why does the scientist plan to revive them!

Einsteel was in the construction part of HIS lab, working on the new protoforms for the bodies he had stolen!

'Pure, and innocent!' he kept his spirits up with a tune. 'My precious Luna, will be back and mine again! Nothing stops me now! I'll make adjustments so she'll have memories of our relationship. And of Proton's ancestors, I'll make sure they only obey me! And ME ONLY!'

As the Autobots took off away from the chapel, everyone were as shocked as Proton learning Einsteel was going too far with his experiment and had stolen the bodies of a powerful chain.

Prowl stood by the window, staring at it at the stars around them. He didn't hear footsteps walk up to him.

'Prowler?'

His doorwings twitched, and he turned around to see Jazz standing there.

'Yeah, Jazz.'

'I know ya upset.'

Prowl hid his face, as a tear drop rolled down his face. Jazz stepped forward and wipped it away. 'Why is that scientist doing this to us?'

'Because he's jealous of ye dad! He can't accept it that ye mum wanted ya dad over him.'

'He has control over my body Jazz!' Prowl replied. 'Oh... Just feel like my life would be better offline for good then be under his control!'

'You can fight 'im Prowler!' Jazz assured him. 'Locate that satelitte and you can break tah control!'

'I shouldn't even by hearing this Jazz! He's listening in on my conversations. I can't talk to anyone without him hearing! I don't know! I can't do anything without him knowing!'

Jazz couldn't help but notice the leaks falling down from Prowl's optics. He knelt down, placing a hand on his shoulder. 'He ain't stopping meh talking to ya! You're meh best pal, Prowler! He's a mad scientist gone ballistic!'

'I don't know, Jazz. He's taken my ancestors', my brother, mother's bodies! Why choose me to be under his control when he could've already revived Rynox, or Hydrid! Why me if he's getting back at dad?'

'Coz he's starting off with the most precious family that's close to Proton. You're his son Prowler, and that's a fact that stays. Look at it from tes view Prowler. Your dad, lost two sons, who were so close to 'im. But he was only back for a couple of years, till you and Smokescreen risked your lives in the war. How it felt on Proton, losing 2 precious family of 'im. Huh? He's got you back now, but now, Einsteel has taken his ancestors too, as his test subjects. What more does he lose?'

Prowl looked at his best pal, and he had to agree with him. He looked over to where Proton was seated, still red in anger and sad at the same time. And he nodded.

'Thanks Jazz. I can make sure Einsteel doesn't get away with this. He isn't going to cause any more harm to dad, me or my brother!'

'That's the spirit Prowler!'

Proton sat on the control seat, with a lot of thoughts and emotions running through his curcuits. Why does Einsteel need to do this to me? He's gotten control over my son! Now he wants to control my whole family! If this Mighty Chain in reunited, our world, would fall into Einsteel's hands.

He was aware of Prowl approaching him.

'Dad... Everything... will be fine,... right?'

Proton didn't say nothing, but shook his head. 'No. It won't be. What is Einsteel's real purpose in reviving my ancestors, and reuniting the chain? It's pointless, and a waste of his time!'

'Because we can beat him!'

Proton widened his optics, looking at Prowl in surprisement. And he was surprised as Einsteel was controlling Prowl, and that he also knew what Prowl would think, feel and see, that he wasn't responding to Prowl was saying.

'It's pointless and a waste of his time!'

'Because we can beat him!'

'No! Foolish creation!' Einsteel slammed his fists onto the desk, denting it a little. 'They expect to know how to defeat me! HA! I have absolute control over that Autobot! He cannot do ANYTHING TO DEFEAT ME! HAHAHAHA!'

'Sir... It's a waste of time.'

Einsteel turned around to the small red and silvery holigram of a mech standing behind him. 'Anything to tell me, Marnel?'

'Yes sir. Statistics show Prowl will be able to break free of your control, if he gathers enough strenght to destroy the connection, and that satelitte, he can roam on his free will. You don't have absolute control over him. Your ex co-worker, Anilt, knew every control on the Prototype, and that he had functioned Prowl onto the control that allows him to move freely on his own will, but you can still see and listen to everything he does. So far as we speak, he's on manual mode, and nothing you do can change that.'

'Don't make me shut you down Marnel! Back into the system!'

The hologram disappears, and reappears on the big screen shining on the large wall infront of Einsteel.

'Better sir?'

Einsteel nodded, gleaming in pride, before turning to the pods on the ground. 'Much!'

Einsteel now as Proton's ancestors, but to revive them to complete the Praxien chain of ultimate power?

Why aren't these 'zom-bots' mentioned in any of this?
