Chapter 4-The Demon's Gambit Part 1

No One's POV

She always loved to gamble, it was her favorite pastime back in Hades with her friends. And now she was gambling big, if she was caught then she would be relegated to the Base and she much rather not. Of course there was her Unlife, but, she didn't care.

She was done being a normal human teenager, it was time for some fun.

And these aliens were her key to it all, she just had to sidestep them at every point.

A dangerous gamble indeed, deadly almost.

She slowly made her way down the grey and dark canyon, following the Medic and the Prime. Making sure her steps were light and she looked ahead to see where she was going. As she watched the pair, they began to speak.

"Why are we here?" The Medic asked.

He sighed, "Do you remember during the last days of the war, when Energon was stashed off world?"

"Yes, it's why deposits exist on planets such as this one." Then, he dropped the bomb.

"It's also why battles were waged on this one." Ratchet stopped, Maeveen stopped.

"That can't be…" He trailed off before following the Prime who went on while Maeveen smiled and continued onward.

They soon found themselves at the end of the canyon to a battle sight where Cybertronian corpses lay. The grey rocks and sky seemed darker here, she chalk that up to the death that lingered here.

They quietly said something to each other, Maeveen couldn't hear, to her disappointment. Suddenly a noise caught her attention, the sound of a jet engine, more powerful the normal.

Maeveen's POV

I looked up to see a strange plane headed for us, it was silver and purple jet with a single gun on top and it looked, alien. It had to be a Cybertronian.

As soon as he transformed my suspicion was correct.

His purple parts of his body seemed to glow with a power I'd never seen before, it was beautiful. His eyes glowed a deep purple, a unique trait so far seen by Cybertronians by myself.

I needed to talk to him.

"Optimus Prime and his lap dog, it's been to long." He mocked, his voice sent shivers down my spin, that made up my mind even more.

I began to climb the walls, using my speed and strength I climbed it quickly and efficiently. When I reached the top I looked back to see the Decepticon holding a crystal of purple.

"I know what you are doing, Megatron." Optimus called back, his eyes narrowed. "You need to stop."

"Ha, you know nothing. Now, witness the power of Dark Energon!" He threw the crystal down into the grey canyon. It stuck the ground before purple cracks appeared and to much my delight, the dead began to rise.

They were creatures of chaos and destruction, and by the look of Megatron, he was in command of them.

Such power, it was delicious.

I wanted it, I needed it.

Hmm, though, perhaps another time. For now I steal my power lust and turn to the imposing Warlord of the Decepticons. He stood tall and proud, watching as his undead minions begin to tear into the terrified Prime and Medic.

With a venomous smile as I drank there fear, I approached Megatron.

It was time, for my greatest gamble.

And I was about to play my gambit.

No One's POV

He watched on in glee, his undead army had risen to his command, just as he had dreamed they would. And now, his enemies were at their mercy, it was something to savory and celebrate.

He would remember this moment for the rest of his days.

The day the dead bowed to him, the day that Optimus Prime would fail and fall and that this planet and Cybertron would he HIS!

"Remarkable, you truly live up to expectation." A voice shattered his glee, he looked around, searching for this voice.

Until, he landed on the source, his Spark skipped a beat as staring at him on a boulder at eye level with him was a human girl with short pink curly hair and burning amber eyes, a wicked smile that could only rival Unicron's plastered on her delicate face.

"Who are you?" He growled, hiding his surprise as he narrowed his purple optics.

Her laughter was dry and sharp as a blade, "Oh, wouldn't you like to know? Hm, very well, since I know you. Megatron, I am Maeveen Lane, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Her voice was like the smoothest Energon with poison in it, his spin shivered uncontrollably.

For some reason, this Maeveen got under his metal. It was...unsettling to say the least.

He raised his cannon to her, and alighting it he barked.

"Tell me, Maeveen Lane, why I shouldn't kill you now?" The purple glow bent and shaped around her tiny frame and seemed to alight her amber eyes darker than before.

"Because, I like you."

That stopped him in his tracks completely, he lowered his cannon slowly, his optics wide as they studied her for deceit. Only to find nothing, thought there was a sinister air to her that he just couldn't understand.

Her smile increased, if that was even possible.

"You see, Megatron, I have heard nasty things about you. Yet, here you are, commanding an army of the undead. That is something not to scoff at, that kind of power….." She shivered and sighed in ecstasy. "Hmm, it is simple delicious, beautiful and something I crave."

"So you wish power?" He questioned.

"Not just power, power is such a generic term. There are certain kinds of power I want." She corrected him, turning her back to him.

"But," She went on. "I am not here for that today, someday, but not today. Today I am here to see you, Megatron."

"I?"

"Yes, you." She turned back and stared directly into his optics. "Tell me, what are you afraid of?"

That caught him off guard, "I fear nothing and no one."

She raised an eyebrow, "Really? I don't believe you, everyone fears, I fear believe it or not. But I know you fear something and I can see it, you display it openly even now."

"Insolent child, I-" He was cut off when he was suddenly thrown to the ground by a force unseen, her face came into view as she stood atop him.

"You, the great Leader of the Decepticons do fear something. You think you hide it well, but you display it to me even now." She paused, closing her eyes as he felt her push him down as he attempted to get up.

Her eyes opened, one iris was red, the other was dark pink surrounded by black.

"You, Megatron, fear…..Death."
