Groon- 1hour

After watching the video I felt a multitude of different feelings; I was sad, angry, disgust, shocked, ashamed, but most of all I felt betrayed and alone. And, what hurt me the most of all was Ironhide's reaction; I have never felt so insignificant in my life, and I wondered if he ever loved me or did I serve him as a toy to pass his time here on Earth. I guess he wasn't so different from the human males here on Earth after all. And the bitter truth was, that when we manage to escape from Lockdown's ship, I will be left to my own to raise this little creature that grows inside me. Of course, I could ask my mom for help but after what I saw today I wanted to go far, far away from here. Far away from her, and far away from Ironhide.

"Miss. Jones," a soft voice called.

Silence….

"Miss. Jones….."

Nothing….

"MISS. JONES….!"

"HM….what?" I said, turning my head to the person that called me.

"Are you alright?" Optimus asked, with great worry in his optics.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I lied, putting my best fake smile, but deep down I knew I hadn't fooled him. "Why do you ask?"

"Because, you didn't move from your position for four groons," he said.

"I must have wandered in my thoughts," I said. "I'm fine, trust me. And, you?"

"What about me?"

"Are you alright?" I asked gently.

"Yes."

But I knew it was a lie. The Autobot leader was not alright and I knew it; the same way he knew I wasn't alright. And rather than admit that, we lied.

"Good, so we are both alright," I said smiling, before I turned my head away.

"We have to find a way to get out of here," Sam said, as he looked around trying to find something that could help them get out from the cages. And soon he spotted the keys hanging on the wall few feet away from Optimus. "I'm so stupid," Sam whispered to himself, slapping his forehead "Optimus…. "he called.

"Yes, Samuel?" Optimus said, turning his helm to look at him.

"The keys from the cage doors are in front of us," Sam whispered. "They were in front of us the whole time."

Optimus turned his helm and saw the keys.

"Can you reach them?"

"No, the cage bars are too dense; I can't reach my servo out to grab the keys," Optimus said, but as he looked up, he noticed that two of the cage bars were rusty at the top. "But, if I managed to break the bars or spread them apart, I would be able to grab the keys," he said, as he grabbed the bars in his fingers.

Suddenly the door of the trophy room swung open and Lockdown entered holding Tessa in one of his servos.

"Look who I found in the main computer room" Lockdown started, as he approached the cage where Optimus was. "A weasel. A small fleshy weasel," he said, looking at Tessa. "What do you think would happen, if I squeezed her like this? Will she go pop?" Lockdown asked, as he slowly clenched his hand around Tessa's small body. Tessa tried to wiggle herself out of Lockdown's hand, but to no avail. She cried out in pain as the pressure on her body grew bigger; she could feel her ribs coming close together, and it was only a matter of time before one of them break from the pressure. She gasped for air.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Optimus growled, grabbing the bars of his cage like an animal.

"As you wish," Lockdown replied, as he loosened his grip on Tessa. "Beside as much as I want to stay here and play with you I have work to do," he said, putting Tessa in one of the cages. "But, I will be back soon. And then we can continue this little game," Lockdown said, walking out.

"Tessa are you alright?" Optimus asked.

"Yes," the girl replied, holding her hand on her ribs. "I'm so sorry, Optimus," she said, quietly as she looked over at the Autobot leader. "Lockdown knows I contacted the Autobots," Tessa began. "And he is preparing them a trap."

"Then we must get out of here quickly and warned them," Optimus replied calmly, grabbing the cage bars again.

"There is something else you should know…" Tessa started.

"What?"

The young female really did not know how to tell the Autobot leader that humans joined forces with the bounty hunter in order to kill all the remaining Cybertronians; both Autobots and Decepticons. Tessa knew it would break his heart, but he deserved to know.

"When I was hiding in the main computer room, I saw a man on the ship and…" Tessa paused for a second. She really didn't know where to go from there, but she knew she had to tell him. She took a deep breath before she continued. "Some of the humans are working with Lockdown," Tessa said. "They call themselves Cemetery Wind and they want all Autobots and Decepticons to be exterminated. The Cemetery Wind is led by Harold Attinger."

"WHAT?!" Optimus shouted, in disbelief turning his helm to look at Tessa.

"They can't do that!" Sam screamed. "Autobots are our friends; they helped us against the Decepticons."

"There is more…" Tessa said.

"TELL ME!" Optimus ordered, his blue optics flashed with anger.

"After Lockdown kills them, the humans will keep their bodies."

"For what?" The Autobot leader asked.

"Melting," Tessa muttered quietly, not looking Optimus in the eye.

"I didn't hear you. Can you repeat?"

"Melting," Tessa repeated, this time a bit louder.

There was a silence as the three of us watched the Autobot leader breathing heavily; his chest plate rise and fall slowly. Suddenly and without warning Optimus let a battle cry as he grabbed the bars of the cage squeezing them tightand spreading them apart with ease. I never saw Optimus so furious in my life. He passed through the gap that he made, and took the keys freeing everyone in the trophy room.

"Optimus…" I said, putting my hand on his leg.

He lowered his helm to look at me.

"When we came to this planet you... humans have asked us to play by your rules, well the rules have just changed" he said.

"What are you going to do?" Sam asked.

"I will kill them all."
