Flashback*
Four year old Jade sat typing away at her hover pad's holographic computer.
The hoverpad was circler slab of metal that would just hover up in the air as well as move around with the help of the hover pad's controller. It was designed for guardians. At first, for the ones that worked at the Halls of Iacon, but it later became a luxury for high cassest Guardians.
Jade's hover pad was a special build, it was designed like a circler, guardian size berth, decorated with plush pillows and silk blankets.
Although, Jade kept it as a bed most of the time, as she could use the hover pad's internal computer for her work, while lying in luxury on the plush berth.
As she finished the last code to the formula of the cure, Megatron entered the lab.
"Jade," He greeted her, "How is it going?"
Jade smiled the moment she saw, "Already done, Uncle. But... the cloning thing of Shockwave's? Shockwave missed something in the formula." Jade pointed out the error to an amused Megatron.
"So I see," He used the monitor beside Jade to hack Jade's hover pad, and send the maths off to Shockwave, for him to finish up the rest. Once he turned back to her, he smiled. "Take a nap, my dear, you'll need it."
As if on command, Jade yawned and flopped back on her hover pad and fell asleep.
*End of Flashback*
Jade felt sick, she had helped kill Autobots, Neutrals and even a few Decepticons, with all the weapons.
"Jade," She heard a voice speak from behind. She turned to face Arcee and Cliffjumper.
"Are you okay?" Arcee's face held total worry in it.
Was she okay? She remember making bio weapons that killed millions, there it was again, that word. "Millions," She muttered, tears rolling down her face.
Cliffjumper scooped her up off the ground and took her into his and Arcee's room to calm her down. As she had been walking the hallways of the base by herself.
When they had given Optimus the cure, Jade admitted, that she remembered how she had somewhat made the virus, as she had fixed up a few mishaps, in the programming of it. Of course no one blamed it on Jade, she was a kid at the time, although she had been super smart, she was also trusting.
Optimus, then told Jade later on in private, how Megatron used to be a friend of the family, and that Megatron would offend look after her when he and June were at work.
Cliffjumper placed her on his berth and sat cross legged next to her. Arcee had also taken a seat, but on the other end of the bed.
Jade then felt two hands on her shoulders, she looked back to see Arcee massaging her shoulders. She leaned back into it, while she began to relax, she felt another being inside her head.
She knewn who it was, Megatron. After the patching, Megatron had travelled back with her, locking her inside the fake bond with him, meaning while he was in her head, she was cut off from her family's bond. She was stuck with a madman inside her head.
:I beg to differ, little Jade.: His voice sound like it was right behind. :As I am not a madman. But I can understand why you think that.: Jade was really being to hate this guy, if only there was a way to shut him up. :I doubt you could keep me silent.: And why did he have to back comment her thoughts?!
'Don't you dare answer that!' She snarled at him, she then felt his amusement, making her livid.
"What's with the glare?" Cliffjumper's holoform was seating beside with his left hand on her other side, "You've been hanging around Ratchet too long."
Jade smirked at him, happy to get her thoughts off Megatron. "What? Don't like that kind of girl?"
"I'm pretty sure only Wheeljack likes the 'I'll-scrap-you-for-flirting-with-me' kind of femmes." Cliffjumper replied with a wink to Jade, who giggled. Cliff grinned, "That's more like it." He pecked her on the cheek.
Jade felt Megatron's disgust, but she ignored it. Leaning towards Cliff she kissed him.
*The next day*
Ratchet shone the touch in Optimus' eye, "That's it, follow the light." She muttered. After finding no rust in Optimus' eyes, she turned the touch off and placed it with the rest of her equipment. "I wouldn't advice anything risky, Optimus. But it seems your body, has fully recovered from the plague."
"Thanks to your medical expect mind." Optimus told her, thankful to his medic.
"It was your daughter, who braved unkown terrory, Optimus."
Jade, who was standing at the door, along with Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, Arcee and Raf, flushed bright red and looked to the ground, happy she got the praise.
"Lucky for us, Megatron was still alive," Arcee snorted. After getting weird looks, from almost everyone in the room, he finished with. "Yeah, I actually said that."
Jade took at chance to leave the room while the others continued to talk.
"Pity we don't know if he's alive or not." Cliffjumper muttered.
"Let's hope." Ratchet added.
Breakdown was right, Knock Out did find it hard to believe. Soundwave suggested that Flatline did it, as it would explain the reason why Starscream had ordered Soundwave for an ergent meeting on Lord Megatron's life.
But Flatline was never one to head straight for power, when the first opportunity for it appeared.
Payload, Flatline's sparkmate on the other hand...
"So he's still alive?" A voice spoke from inside a room that Knock Out just happen to pass. She paused in her walk.
"Yes, but he's brainwaves are no longer there, so whatever the Autobots did has caused Megatron to be lost permanently. Even if they find the dark energon, he'll come back as a Terrorcon." Starscream.
"Unless Megatron is in one of the Autobot's minds." She now knew the voice, Payload.
Knock Out kept walking, once she neared the end of the corridor, she broke out into a run. Headed straight for Soundwave's office.
*That afternoon*
Jade walked out of the bathroom, but it wasn't under her own will, in fact, Jade was trying to yell out to the others. She felt sharp claws dig in on both sides of her hips. She flinched.
:Cut it out!: Megatron's voice growled. :Behave and you shall reap reward from this, Jade. However if you do try and mess this up on me-:
"Jade look out!" Miko's voice rang out, Megatron, still in control of Jade's body, looked up to see a lob ball coming in his direction. He went wide-eyed, as went to hit him, he then remembered Jade's shields, how did she do it? Suddenly the shields flashed up in front of him and the lob ball bounced off the shield, landing next to Jade, after a few moments the shield vanished, and everyone in the room raced over to her.
"Are you alright?"
"Thank Primes you put that shield up!"
"Sorry, Jade, I threw the ball, but I thought Bee would catch it."
Megatron was surprised at everyone's behaver, but of course they were Autobots, they stick like glue to each other.
"Give the girl some room," Ratchet ordered, shoving through. "Jade, why did you take so long with your shield?"
Megatron was about to make up some excuse, when Jade mentally tackled him, and retook over her body.
"Ratchet, I've been seeing Megatron's face, it keeps popping up, and I blank out from it." The words were half hers, as she intended to say Megatron was in her head, but he had twisted her words.
"What?" Ratchet questioned, picking her up. "How long?" She walked off with Jade, the others following behind.
Megatron was snarling inside her, Jade then felt sharp claws drag on her back, she shrieked.
"Jade!" Ratchet barked, as she entered the medbay. "Scrap!" Ratchet placed her down on a human medical bed. She turned to the others, "Leave now, and shut the door, she ordered. Once they were gone, Ratchet activated her holoform and checked her over, but she couldn't find any damage on her. "Where's the pain, Jade?"
Jade, who was on shacking in pain, turn her body around lie on her stomach. "M-my back," She whined, "He- it feels like..." She struggled for a few moments. "Like a sharp set of knives." Her toes curled inwards.
"Okay," Ratchet turned her back over, there was no energon leak. Grabbing a needle she filled it with a clear liquid. "This is a pain killer, but it works a little different to the humans version, okay?" After injecting into Jade, she watched as Jade started to relax, before closing her eyes, and drifting to sleep. "That was quite drama filled." She muttered, placing the equipment down. She walked out to the others.
Jade looked around, she was standing in a black space, space was the only word to describe it as it was all at she could see. She looked down, to find nothing but black again, but the surface she stood on was nothing but glass. Jade stepped back sweating, she didn't want to break it, she turned around, only to bump into a silver chest, she shrieked the moment she saw the symbol. Jade jumped back, but a clawed hand wrapped around her arm, she slipped and fell to the ground.
Megatron held her down, crushing her. The floor beneath them cracked, and split, they fell, landing in ice cold water.
Jade struggled in his hold for a few moments before the cold started to get to her. Suddenly, Megatron kissed her, making it harder to escape so she could breathe. She soon blacked out.
Well that wasn't too hard. Megatron had managed to make the girl sleep, good. The water they were in was just in her mind, so she could breathe, Megatron just made it seem like she couldn't. As for the kiss, well an added bonus, Jade had turned into quite the beauty.
He pulled her to his chest and closed his eyes, he soon opened his eyes to see the Autobots medbay.
He chuckled and pulled the tube out of Jade's arm, he rose and sneaked out of the medbay and into the hallway, and ducked into the spare room Jade had been using.
The old medic had made Jade stay at base so she could keep an eye on the girl, so the human femme had picked Jade up some clothing wear and other items from her house and there was something he wanted to check.
Once in the room he grabbed Jade's green overcoat, that she raced with. Yes, he knew what it was. Cybernetic fabric, made to feel like silk, but every strong fabric, in fact it would take to long to name it's qualities. He checked the other clothes, nope, just this one. June must have given it to her.
He paused in his thinking, where was June? He can't seen her once while here. Dead, maybe? No, Prime would be more into killing him if it was that. Kidnapped by humans then? Meh, even June earned more credit then that.
He put on the jacket and walked out of the room. Once he was in the lounge he looked around for the others, they weren't here, good. He let Jade's wing burst out, and flew up to the top, where the humans laptop was, he cursed, noting that he couldn't read human language.
"Jade?" A small voice spoke his host's name. Megatron turned around to see the two guardians, Raf and Miko, and then the humans, the orange haired male and the red head.
It was Raf that had spoke. "Shouldn't you be in bed?"
Megatron decided to play along. He sighed, and Jade's voice spoke out with his words. "I'm alright, but I could use some air, think you come get the ground-bridge running for me?"
The four looked at Jade oddly. "We're not allowed, remember? Not without permission."
"Oh? Is that so?" Jade flexed her hand and a shield shaped like duck tape formed around his mouth. "In that case..." Another two snapped around his wrists and ankles. "If your friends don't open the ground-brigde, I'll snap your neck."
"Jade?" The human boy asked. "What's wrong with you?"
"Your eye colour... it's red." Miko frowned, she then went wide eyed with horror. "Your not Jade!" She snapped.
"Bravo, guardian, you are correct, I am Megatron. And don't think for a second that I won't harm the boy." Raf, squirmed as Megatron tightened his grip of the shield on him. "Now work the ground-brigde for me."
