(chapter 24)

Had to do me a little bonding time with my favorite big tiddy Wrecker after the bullshit I went through in my sleep.

—--

Okay, here's the deal. I'm in Megatron's processor, in Kaon, watching from the distance as he slaughters the many different versions of Optimus and Bumblebee, and I'm not gonna lie right now, I'm fuckin' terrified. How would you feel if you opened your eyes to see that you're sharing a dream with this demon of a mech? Not so different from how I feel in this exact moment I'm guessing.

I huffed and put my hands on my hips as I tried to come up with a plan to not be seen, but then again dreams do have an annoying way of pointing things out, and if something is ever wrong you're immediately notified by your said dream. Do your guy's dreams do that? Mine sure do.

Back to the situation at hand, I'm currently sitting on a rock in a cavern of some sort. Perhaps I could stay here, but it's a straight shot from where Megatron is to me. If he chose to investigate at any time he wouldn't have a hard time doing so. Ugh, I really closed my eyes thinking nothing was going to happen, but nooo, I had to cut my hand with Dark Energon and wake up here.

While I'm musing I might as well move to a more secure spot.

I slipped off of the rock and immediately started looking around for a hole that I could fit into or maybe find a deeper way into the cavern. I don't even know if he can touch me while I'm here so I'm just taking precautions. Can't be too sure with the bucket.

I flinched when I heard the familiar booming of jet engines.

I quickly scurry into a crack that's around my size, getting as far as I could without getting stuck or scratching myself. When I deemed myself far enough I stopped, took a deep breath and waited. I didn't even have to wait long since I heard the tell tail sound of metal shifting and felt a ground shaking thud. What the fuck even caught his attention anyway?

I stayed quiet as I heard the heavy pedes steps get closer, the ground and rocky walls around me vibrating with every step he took. I took a shaky breath as I began to feel adrenaline course through me, a nervousness that I hadn't felt in a long time itching at the back of my throat.

That reminds me, does my emo field work in dreams? I'm sure as hell not taking that risk.

I pulled my emo field in, keeping it tucked close so that he didn't sense me, if he could that is. Dreams are fucking weird, an evil cybertronians dream is even weirder.

I froze entirely as I looked out the crack that I was currently tucked in, having a direct visual of gray pedes. I felt like I couldn't breathe as he didn't move. He hasn't even said a word since he's gotten here and it's freaking me out because I don't know if he knows that I'm here.

I sighed shakily through my nose when I saw and heard his pedes go out of sight, further down the cavern, but not as close as he was previously.

Y'know, when you actually feel like you're being hunted down it's pretty scary. I'm not even lying, I feel like I'm legit being hunted down. I can hear and feel my heart pumping and it's right in my ear. I kinda feel like something is tightening around my chest, but I'm trying to stay calm. Hell, it'd be a shame to have a panic attack right now.

I had stayed in this position, trying to be as still as possible and be undetectable. I've felt fear before, and I knew it would be terrifying if I actually experienced it, but imagining it and actually facing the reality of how scary it can be is a very large and stark difference.

It's been quiet for a while now and I'm not sure if I should peek my head out or not. I don't want to risk it, but I don't want to feel stuck here and end up a little claustrophobic. Aw man, I don't like this dream. Why does Megatron have to have twisted dreams man? This sucks.

Y'know what? I'm gonna risk it.

I very slowly shuffled to the opening, making sure that my footsteps were very light, pausing for a few seconds for every step I took. When I got to the opening I held my breath, feeling my jaw begging to temple and my fingers shaking. I heard his pedesteps walk further into the cavern, but I did not hear them come back out. I don't even know if he's waiting for me to peek out, and that's the scariest part.

I slowly, very slowly peaked my head out to look around. I let out a shaky breath when I didn't see any silver bot in sight. I stayed where I was, but that was only because I didn't know where he was or if he'd come out while I was trying to leave the cavern. It'd be very unfortunate for me if that'd happen I'm not gonna lie. I've never been in a situation like this before, so I'm justified.

I moved after counting to sixty, having chosen one minute to wait and see if he came back, and since he didn't I felt like I could make a break for it.

I peaked out quickly, still not seeing anything or hearing anything, so I slid out of the crack and made a break for it, running as fast as I could, but just as I was about to slide around the corner to successfully get out the cavern I heard the shrill sound of a blaster and the boom of a shot being fired. Let's just say I flew.

I flipped a few times before I slid to a stop. I didn't think it would be possible, but pain spread all over my body. My head felt like it was filled with lead, and it felt so hard to breathe. I didn't know what was worse, my fear of getting caught, or the pain that's making me feel like I'm gonna die.

I heard and felt the incoming pedesteps of the fucking demon that shot at me. I tried futilely to open my eyes, wanting to glare up at him so that he could see my seething hatred for his very being, for his very creation, cursing the very being that even thought of creating him into reality, the absolute audacity that those beings have.

I wheeze and cough, blood coming up past my lips, making me gag at the taste of the exercise taste of copper. I let out a sputtering breath, letting out a grunt when I heard his laughter, his voice guttural and jolly over the pain he just caused me.

"It seems I've caught myself an insect! What a good day!"

His laughter and jolly attitude made my blood boil, no quite literally my blood started to boil, but I paid that no mind as I was trying to force myself up, which I surprisingly succeeded in despite the bones in my arms and legs snapping as I put my weight on them. Blood gushed from some of my wounds which I tried to cover with my hands futilely.

Blood that made it past my fingers and dripped to the ground sizzled, smelling of sulfur and ash, like chemicals, or something that's not supposed to be burned.

The words that made it past my bloodied lips were said in pure spite and hatred.

"And you wonder why you were never made a Prime."

Bloodied spit made it past my lips as I practically hissed like a hateful snake.

The reaction on his face could be labeled as priceless, picture worthy, but since I don't exactly have a camera on me right now I'll just sear this into my memory.

His expression that was morphed into pure surprise morphed into that of anger, his optics darkening to a glare and his optical rides furrowed, the end raised like they always were when he became enraged.

"You pest! How do you know of something that's never concerned you!'

The desire to fuck with him was strong, stronger than that of the pain that I felt coursing trough me. He deserved to be put in his place, and I'm not waiting until he gets possessed by Unicron to do that!

"Because I watched you! I watched as you practically embarrassed yourself to the council, and how you practically looked shameful when your own BEST FRIEND outshined you!"

I may have said something that I shouldn't have, but it was satisfying to finally let my anger out, to finally speak my mind. I don't know how things will be when he wakes up, but I just know that I'm gonna have to prepare myself for headaches and bullshit.

"Your absolute failure for things to go your way is watched, and replayed, almost to the point of expectation, because that is what will happen forever and always, across time, space, and other worlds! Even that of your namesake will fail! And mark my words, they fuckin' will, and I garentee you, I'll be there to watch that as well."

When I was done I was panting shakily, silently glaring up at him as he looked down at me with an expression that could only convey speechlessness. He ended up backing up a bit, staggering as his optics widened.

I myself staggered back, practically falling onto my back with a 'whump'. I wheezed as I looked up at the orange clouds. Y'know, I always wondered what they'd look like in person.

At the sound of a shrill alarm clock I jerk awake, a sharp deep breath and the widening of my eyes is what'd you see if you witnessed me waking up. I sat up quickly, looking around quickly before looking down at my body, running my hands over myself just to check. I don't want to experience any Freddy Krueger type shit any time soon I guarantee you.

I used my fingers get some of my hair out of my face, huffing heavily as I looked down at my lap. That was a scary ass experience and I hope to never experience it again. I honestly will cry if it does.

I slowly moved to get out of my bed, slowly changing into some basketball shorts and a cropped muscle shirt. I might as well get ready for the day since I've got plans.

I was planning on hanging out with the blue teddy, just have a day with me and him. I planned on doing the same with Knockout since he's been away for a while. He finally found out about illegal street racing, and let me tell you, I made sure he took the money rewards and gave 'em to me. What? I'm not about to end up broke over here, and just because Soundwave buys everything for me doesn't mean I don't want my own form of reliable income.

I put my hair in a high bun as I walked over to my makeshift sink, turning the knobs to get some running water, brushing my teeth and washing my face and the whole shebang. I like to feel tidy and fresh before I go out sometimes.

When all of that was done I went and got some shoes on and hopped down from my living space, heading for my workshop. I almost forgot that there was a purple shitstain to reality in there.

I waved my hand in front of my nose and held my breath as I quickly ran in there to get my suit and come back out. I had to get my suit to be able to incorporate into my clothes so that when I needed to wear my suit it'd just slide on. Very convenient.

I walked out, strolling down the hall to head to med bay, already knowing that Breakdown was sitting there with nothing else to do.

I walked in, and lo and behold, there he was, sitting there, messing with a datapad and looking as if he was of existence itself. I made a sharp whistle sound as I walked further into med bay, my pace relaxed and my emp convoying my relaxed mood. I'm actually surprised with how chill I am right now after I just had that crazy ass dream.

He perked up and he immediately smiled once he saw me, tossing the datapad to the side somewhere on the desk he was sitting at.

"Hey there soft skin! 'S been a while since I've seen you."

I smiled in return, walking up to him before just climbing up his leg and hoisting myself up his arm so that I could get to his shoulder. I've started taking it upon myself to start climbing the mechs so that I could have some more flexibility. So far, it's working.

I sat heavily onto his shoulder and let out a heavy breath, speaking a little breathily.

"Well, I'm here to remedy that today. Me and you are gonna hang out on the surface."

He gave me an expression that basically said 'bet', him already moving to stand, but carefully since he's aware that I'm on his shoulder.

We walked, he walked, to the Main Bridge, both of us talking about where we wanted to go, but I ended up getting an idea, and when I shared it with him he readily agreed, both of us grinning like mischievous cats when we put in the coordinates of a random forest.

Breakdown transforms into his vehicular mode around me, me ending up in the back seat since there wasn't enough room to house my larger frame up front. He sped out to the other side of the Ground Brinde and we were greeted with a clearing, clear blue skies, tall green trees, and the sounds of nature all around. I smiled at the sight and urged Breakdown to drive after, which he was quick to comply with.
