Chapter 12 schemes
Arcee noticed Optimus' optics shift purple as soon as he saw Megatron. "Optimus, calm down." she mumbled. Optimus glared at her before returning his focus to the gray mech. "what do you want Megatron? You better talk fast before I send you to the allspark." he growled.
Megatron calmly took a step back and grinned. "I thought we had a deal? Are you helping me dispose of the hydra? Or perhaps, those humans could get to know him? Your choice." Optimus roared and pounced on Megatron, digging his claws into his chestplates. "Give me one reason why I should do it and not kill you! Your time is limited!" Megatron grinned, "what about a trade? You kill the hydra, and I'll give you the coordinates of one of the iacon relics." Optimus snorted. "Words cannot describe how much I hate you right now." he backed off and glared.
With a sly grin Megatron said, "looks like the two-wheeler has returned with your team. I'll be on my way. I'll have soundwave send coordinates of where the hydra spends his time off of the warship." he then transformed and took off. Flying into a ground bridge portal.
Optimus turned around to see the autobot team approaching, arcee included. He hadn't even noticed she left.
When ultra magnus saw Optimus, he panicked. His optics were still purple and he was staring at his claws, which were covered in dark energon. "Optimus! Are you hurt? What happened?" he rambled. Then the primes optics slowly shifted back to blue as he said, "I almost gave in, I almost did it." ultra magnus glanced at ratchet. "What Optimus?" ratchet huffed.
"I almost killed him."
another note: I've kinda lost motivation but I'm going to add a prologue and pause on chapters for a bit. might even make a new series, not sure yet.
