Chapter 23: Tough Decision
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were confused. Why did Jen sacrifice herself to go with the Decepticons willingly? Was it what they said? Was it their flirting? Or is it that they kept on fighting with each other?
Bumblebee had asked for a more private talk with the lambo twins. He didn't say anything to the twins. He sounded very serious when he wanted to talk to them both. The lambo twins could only shrug and follow the scout outside the hangar.
The scout suddenly stopped, making the twins stopped on their tracks as well.
"Hey, Bee? What's this all about?" Sideswipe asked, confused.
Bumblebee whirred sadly as he turned to them both. "You mess with me, and mess with her," He turned on a song. "So Oh mister player do you feel like the man now?" he continued.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker glanced at each other.
"What are you talking about, Bee?" Sideswipe asked again.
"And why did you use Victoria Justice's song?" Sunstreaker ask with a metallic eyebrow raised.
The scout chirped sadly. "Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss…" He sang again.
"Just get to the point!" Sunstreaker hissed.
"You… kissed… another girl," Bumblebee vented. "Jen… saw." He finished.
"WHAT?!" They both yelled in unison.
"Who gave the slag about that?!" Sideswipe grabbed Bumblebee by his shoulder.
"You did… When we were… ice skating." Was the reply of the scout.
Sunstreaker hit the nearest thing next to him, the hangar's metal wall. He cursed in so many languages from the Earth's worldwide web. He was stressed. He can't believe that Jen saw him kissing a femme, but it was a misunderstanding. He didn't kiss that femme. That femme kissed him! Oh Primus, Jen must be upset with them. So that's why she left willingly… She just wants to get away from the twins.
"FRAG IT ALL! I can't believe she left because of us! WHY PRIMUS! WHY!" Sideswipe yelled and looked up to the sky, raising both of his arms up.
"We're screwed…" Bumblebee murmured.
I examined the three Autobots, they were beaten. Perceptor were full of dents and scratches. Moonracer looks like she's dehydrated and exhausted, I think. And Bulkhead, he was kind of leaking of Energon from his right arm. What I've seen with my eyes, the Decepticons might've tortured them to get the answers out. If this is what they're going to do to me then fine, let it be. But, I have to rescue the Autobots from that dirty cell, but how?
The metal door slide open. I look up as the shackles made noises. It was the medic, Knockout. I growled at him as I stood up. He must've heard me because he turned his head towards me and smirked. He went pass by me and approached the three Autobots, who in return growled at him.
"Are you going to give out the answers now?" Knockout asked the three.
"Pit no! Leave us you slagger!" Bulkhead snaps as he turned his hand into a metal ball.
Knockout chuckled darkly as he turned to me; I stiffed my shoulders in return. "Maybe you won't… But our other prisoner might." He said as he approached me.
He bends down and gave me a glare, "Tell me squishy…. Where's the Autoscums' base?"
I refused to answer to him, so I stayed quiet.
Knockout growled and slammed his hand beside me. I didn't flinch, even though his hand could've squished me. I only glare back at him. Knockout took a deep sigh before smirking. He reached his hand forward and grabbed me by my ankle. I flinched this time, it hurts a bit.
"Aw… is the little squishy scared?" Knockout laughed.
I growled in respond.
"Let her go!" A feminine yet strong voice demanded.
I turn my head to the cell and saw Moonracer. She was gripping on the bars as she tries to break free. I sighed heavily and look down, well, up...? I feel so weak right now. I just wish I'm stronger, stronger enough to defeat this Decepticon to scrap.
"Okay," Knockout said and released his hold of my ankle. I dropped down to the cold metal floor and flinched. It hurts, but I wouldn't show it to him. "As you wish… Lord Megatron wishes to see me anyway," He turned to me as I began to rub my left shoulder. "And you, Squishy. Be prepared…" he pointed one of his claws at me.
I glared at him, hard.
"You Autoscums better be ready for what's coming in the future for you." Knockout hissed as he began to walk out.
I gain my balance and glared at him. "Jerk…" I mumbled.
"What was that?" Knockout asked as he stopped immediately.
Wow…., he has a very sensitive hearing.
"I said…. You are a jerk." I spat at him.
Knockout laughed, "Is that the best you got?" I stayed quiet. I can't say anything more than 'Jerk'. "The other squishes have cursed worst than you, squishy." He snickered and left the prison.
When the door slide closed, I slumped down to the floor. I could feel the pain in my whole body from the drop and the hit from Megatron. I felt a scan ran over through my whole body, I look up and saw Moonracer checking me for injuries. She sighed heavily as she finished her scans.
"You have a few fractured ribs, nothing too serious, but it still needed to be treated. Your left shoulder have been bruised badly, a sprain wrist and ankle, and you're dehydrated. Are you alright?" Moonracer asked with a concern tone.
I nodded; I've been through a much worse dehydration. I can survive three days without food and water. I'm used to it since I was little, until eventually I leanred how to cook for myself. So even if, the Decepticons gave me food and water, I still won't eat it. The food and water might be poisoned or something. I'm not taking any chances of getting food poisoned.
"I'm fine, but are you? You all seemed beaten up and dehydrated yourself…. Have the Decepticons' been treating you well?" I asked worriedly.
Bulkhead laughed a bit. "Yeah right, a Con being nice… that's a funny joke kid." He smiled at me.
I laughed a bit too. "Actually, Mr. Head… There's a Decepticon who is very nice. He has defect to the Autobots a few months ago." I said.
"Really? Who is it?" Perceptor asked.
"Officer Barricade," I said and stopped as the three looked very shock.
"Primus! You must be joking!" Bulkhead started to laugh.
"I am not, it is true that Officer Cade has defect to the Autobots," I continued. "He has saved me a few times from bullies at school and at outside school." I explained.
Perceptor chuckled, "I can't believe that slagger has defect to the Autobots…, can't wait to see Boss and the others." He sighed.
I perked my head up and smiled. "Oh! Professor Jack has mentioned the two of you so many times during my stay at his laboratory. Doctor Ratchet has also mentioned a lot about you, Moonracer. They missed you a lot. They've been searching non-stop."
Moonracer gasped and smiled widely. "Stubborn old doc…," she whispered. "I'll come home soon, we will come home soon." She smiled at us all.
I smiled back.
"Hey kid, wake up…" I heard Bulkhead said weakly.
I opened my eyes and yawned. It was really cold and I was at the corner, trying to keep myself warm. How cold was it in here anyways?
"I-I was just resting my eyes…" I rubbed my eyes as I shifted from the really cold wall. "W-What is it, Mr. Head?" I stuttered.
"There's a blizzard storm tonight, you can't sleep, unless you want to die." Perceptor explained.
I nodded and shivered. I can't die just yet, there's so many thing to do. I have to apologize to Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, I have to finished high school; I have to celebrate every single of my sister's birthday, and many more. I slap myself to stay awake. I curled up to a ball as there was a cold wind passing by me.
I exhaled and blinked a few times. I could see Perceptor, Bulkhead, and Moonracer getting weaker and weaker. They seemed to be hungry. I scanned the room and my eyes landed on the Energon cubes at the other corner. I slowly grinned and shakily stood up. The shackles cringed for a moment and I fell down, this length is just too short.
I look down to see my ankles were still tied with the shackles. I sighed heavily. Then I noticed something, I'm wearing boots, knee-high boots. I got an idea! I zipped off both of my boots and slowly took off my boots. I took a deep breath and slid it off. It was painful, due to the fact that it's sprain.
I dragged myself to the cubes. When I arrived at the corner, I stared at the cubes. It was rather large. In fact, that having contact with the Energon, humans could've been infected. I glanced to my hand and grinned; lucky I'm wearing gloves and a hoodie jacket. I pulled up my hood and began to push the cubes towards Perceptor, Moonracer, and Bulkhead's cell.
The three Autobots were exhausted. They don't know how long they were kept as a prisoner to the Decepticons. For all they know that the Decepticons hasn't been keeping their guest company or in the human's chase, bad service. Some previous humans that the Decepticons caught were pretty terrified of both the three Autobots and all of the Decepticons. The humans either got killed in the end or have their heads as a trophy to Airachnid.
Preceptor, Bulkhead, and Moonracer have seen the humans get killed in front of their optics. It was horrifying that they can't do anything, since their plasma cannons were disabled by the wacko medic and the spider-like medic. Some humans even begged for mercy and became Megatron's spy or pet to survive. The most loyal human the three have seen since they have been taken as prisoners are an old military soldier, an old women, and Jen.
They were a bit disgusted as Thundercracker showed a video of him getting answers out of a human female by giving her a few kisses. How could humans be so easy to persuade by something so simple? Or better yet, why did they betray each other?
This human female started to blabber out everything she knows about Jen, Moonracer could only shook her head as Bulkhead cursed. Perceptor sighed heavily as he dimmed his optics. This was pathetic, very pathetic. This female could have protected every secret she has and just push Thundercracker away, but she didn't. Instead, this female sounded like she really hated Jen.
"Hey…" They heard someone whispered. "Are you guys alright?" It was Jen.
Perceptor gathered the strength he had left and approached the bars. He gripped on the bars and vented heavily. "Yeah, we're good." He replied.
Jen smiled. "I-I-I've brought so-some Energon with me… I think you guys really need it." She said as she pushed a few cubes to Perceptor.
Moonracer's optics widened in surprise, "But how did you escape from the shackles?" She asked curiously.
Jen pointed to her legs and then she pointed back to the shackles. At the shackles, there's a pair of boots, laid on the floor. Moonracer, Perceptor, and Bulkhead stared at Jen's white socks. A smile curled up to their lips as they saw Jen's plan, she's just too smart in logical things.
"Smart kid," Perceptor replied. "You're smart do you know that?"
Jen shook her head, "No… I'm not smart. If I'm smart then I might know how to break your cell codes…" She sighed heavily.
"Thanks kid…," Bulkhead grabbed the Energon cube and took a sip. He sighed heavily in relief while the other two Autobots did the same. They never had Energon this good since they've been held at their cell. "This really means a lot, you're much more kindsparked and loyal than all the other humans we've met here at this very spot." He continues and pointed to the corner.
"You're welcome and t-thank you…" Jen smiled and leaned against the bars. She slide down and sat there, hugging her knees.
"Why didn't you escape when you had the chance? Like now?" Perceptor asked.
"No comrades left behind… That's what my grandparents told me." Jen replied as she turned her head to the three Autobots.
Perceptor, Bulkhead, and Moonracer stared wide eyes at Jen. Those lines reminded them of an old married couple. They were the very first humans that the Decepticons killed in front of their eyes. The old man and women stayed loyal to keep their secret as a secret. The old man is a military soldier from a sector called Sector Seven, and the old woman is a scientist from the same sector.
They've said they have very sweet granddaughter, much sweeter than their other granddaughter. The old man and the old women told stories about how kind and loyal their granddaughter is; the little sparkling loves to draw and the old couple support her in every way. They even bring the sparkling's drawing with them and they died holding the drawing in their hands.
The old married couple has one last wish for the Autobots before they died. Protect our granddaughter, she's our priceless jewel. She already has a hard life since she's little. Please, help her… And the married couple died while giving the drawing to Perceptor.
The three Autobots promised to protect whoever this little sparkling is, but they've been stuck here at this pit-spawned prison cell. The little sparkling must've grown to a youngling by now.
Preceptor decided to ask about the old married couple to Jen, she might have a connection to them both. "Hey kid…," no answer. "Kid? Are you okay kid?" he tried again
Moonracer reached out her finger and stroke Jen's back gently. A soft groan came from the youngling; she shifted a bit and sighed. Perceptor, Moonracer, and Bulkhead sighed in relief. They almost thought that Jen had fallen into a deep stasis lock.
"Hey, kid… Do you know Spencer and Clara Benson?" Perceptor asked.
Jen cringed a bit, she turn to him with wide blue optics. "You know them? They're my grandparent. They've gone missing ever since I was little…" She asked a bit concern.
"So it is true…," Perceptor breathe. He reached something from his case and grabbed a small piece of paper. Jen tilted her head to the side, confused as she saw Perceptor, along with Moonracer and Bulkhead, with a smile across their faces. "Is this drawing yours?"
Peceptor handed a piece of paper to Jen. She examines it for a moment and tears rolled down from her eyes. She began to laugh a bit as she tries to wipe the tears away.
"Spencer gave an order to protect his priceless jewel, and that jewel is you, Janette Jones." Moonracer continues for Perceptor. "They died in the hands of the Decepticon, your grandparent are very loyal to us." She smiled sadly.
"Yeah, the slagger 'Cons demanded for them to tell the location of the AllSpark and they stayed quiet till the end. We're very proud of them." Bulkhead grinned widely.
Jen sobbed quietly as she had a big smile on her lips. She shook her head slowly and look up to the Autobots. "I always knew that I got my personalities from them… I'm glad that they still have this very first drawing that I made for them. So they do love me after all…" She cried softly.
"Aww, kid…" Bulkhead slumps down. "Don't leak from your optics… It makes me want to leak too!" He finally cried.
Perceptor and Moonracer laughed as Jen comforted Bulkhead to stop. Jen took off her jacket and gave it to Bulkhead. These two know that Bulkhead and Jen would get along just fine. But, will she get along with Perceptor and Moonracer? Even though they watch her grandparents died in the hands of Megatron.
Megatron sat proudly at his throne, tapping his finger impatiently for Soundwave to report back to him. It has been an hour long since the communication officer had left the aula. He was curious if his officer had already killed the human femme or gave her to his torture specialist, Airachnid.
"Starscream…," Megatron turn to his SIC. "Where is Soundwave?" he asked with a growl.
"Probably at his headquarter, my Lord." Starscream bowed.
Megatron growled and slammed his fist to the armrest of his throne. Just when he was about to get Soundwave himself, the door slide open and a certain communication officer come into view. Megatron smirked and leaned back to his throne as Soundwave bowed a bit and stood in front of his mighty leader.
"Soundwave, report," Megatron demanded.
"Report: Human femme, doesn't want to speak." Soundwave replied.
Megatron hissed. This femme is just too stubborn or is she really broken? Maybe, the Decepticon leader could keep this human as a pet. He wants to watch her suffer and scream out loud. The screams of the humans is music to his audio preceptors. Yes, he would love to have this silent femme as a pet. He wanted to know how long she would crack or if she ever spills all of the information they need.
The leader of the Decepticons turned his attention back to Soundwave.
"Soundwave, torture that femme until she'd crack. If she doesn't, give her to me." Megatron ordered.
The communication officer simply nodded before leaving the room.
Soundwave had a lot going through his processor. Some part of him was telling him to not hurt the femme, but some part of him was telling him to do as Megatron says. He shook and held his helm. He's going to glitches sooner or later. Should he hurt Jen or should he not? He has a very tough decision to make…
The officer stopped on his tracks as he heard laughter coming from the prison. He accessed the main camera stream and he was shocked at first. Jen has escaped the shackles without cutting off her legs like the previous human. She was laughing with the three Autobots while the three Autobots somehow were getting stronger.
He moved the camera to the corner and narrowed it. He stayed quiet as the Energon cubes were gone. There are two options: One, there might be Cyber-Rats. Or two, Jen might've pushed the Energon to the Autobots. Soundwave thought for a moment, how did Jen escape the shackles? It was hard for humans to escape those shackles, even with raw power.
A visible smile appeared on his lips. He had finally made his decision.
