Chapter 9: How the mighty had fallen
***Decepticon’s base, The Nemesis***
Two days had gone since Soundwave returned to the Nemesis, and the lack of news from his Leader was starting to make him worried.
When he had come back, the Decepticons still on base were a little lost, because apparently, all of their commending officers had gone missing in a matter of hours. Nobody had taken command and, for the better part, they were only sitting and waiting for someone to start giving orders. Decepticons were certainly a bunch of sadistic fraggers, but they lacked imagination and initiative sometimes… The Communication Officer was only glad than Skywarp, of all mech, hadn’t taken command for himself and managed to destroy half of the ship by the time he had returned from the moon.
Thanks Primus for his little favors…
But as soon as he had came back, the first thing Soundwave had done was shake the lethargic Decepticons awake and gave some punishment for those who hadn’t completed their duties due to the lack of commanding officers on board. Skywarp being one of the first… The Seeker had been surprisingly quiet, though, and Thundercracker asked Soundwave if he knew where Starscream was. The Air commander had left without even telling them or anyone else for that matter, and the remaining of the trine were left to fetch for themselves. All the TIC told the blue Seeker was that he didn’t know where Starscream was and than the Jet was, for now, though, considered a deserter.
And it was even harder when everybody started to ask where in the Pit was Megatron? Is his disappearance linked with Starscream’s? What was going on? All those questions the emotionless mech couldn’t answer because, for the most part, he didn’t know the answer himself. And for the part he DID know about... Well, Megatron had given him strict orders NOT to tell anything about his relationship with the Autobot Leader and what he was up to. The troops didn’t needs to know such a thing, and besides, Soundwave agreed with his Leader on the fact that they were most likely to star a mutiny if they had the faintest doubt about Megatron’s power and strength. Maybe not all of the Decepticons would react that way, some were too loyal to Megatron himself to do such a thing, and he had some ideas about whom, but… As for the others…
Well, he was just hoping than that particular news wouldn’t spread on the ranks…
But even that was too much to ask…
Two days after his return, then, he was worried about the silence on Megatron’s part, and was about to try to contact him, when a unexpected event took place. It was the time of the day when most of the Decepticons were gathering in the Rec. Room for refueling and some fun when all of the screens on the ship suddenly came to life.
“Decepticons, hear me!” Starscream’s voice ringed through the halls and rooms of the underwater base, cocky and smug, with a hint of sadistic pleasure. “I have something very important to tell you concerning your Mighty Leader! Ho, and by the way, Soundwave, I know than, by now, you’ll be trying to cut me off, but you’ll soon discover that it’s impossible. I made sure of that before contacting the base…”
The Communication Officer, whom was indeed trying to cut the Seeker short by locating and then scrambling his comm. link, stilled and paused a little. A couple of klicks later, as Starscream was watching him through the communication screen, he had to give the jet his victory. There was no way he was gonna cut that link in time. He didn’t know what Starscream had done exactly, but it was extremely complicated and intricate.
“Satisfied?” Mocked the SIC after a breem or two. “I told you… Now than that matter’s settled, time to go to the main event… You may be wondering where Megatron had gone, by now, and I’m going to tell you. Or even better, to SHOW you all!”
The image on the screen moved and then, the inside of what looks like a cell appeared in the field. But that wasn’t the most shocking. Many gasps and surprised exclamations erupted in the Decepticon’s ranks when they all saw Megatron bonded to the cell wall, apparently subdued and restrained quite efficiently. But he was looking directly at Starscream, and the glare he shot him could’ve melted steel. The Seeker didn’t even flinch, only laughed manically. What was even more puzzling was the other prisoner bonded to the opposite wall of the cell.
Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots…
Starscream had managed to capture and subdue the two faction’s Leaders all by himself?! Incredible… Some cons were gawking in awe at that picture, unable to process what they were seeing right now. Satisfied by the reaction he got, Starscream snickered and got closer to is captives. He stopped beside the immobilized form of Optimus Prime and the Autobot visibly stiffens, glaring daggers at the smirking seeker.
“Well, looks like I got you all hooked! And that wasn’t even the best part yet…”
Starscream leaned closer to the bonded Autobot Leader, like if he wanted to slap him or something, but he didn’t do that. Instead, he gently patted him in the chest in a mocking manner, and the mech tried to twist away from him, Prime shot him a furious and almost frightened glare, which was surprising. Why would he be afraid of the much smaller Seeker? Starscream was purposefully spreading the moment he would finally tell them what was going on, putting up a show. Slowly, he draws out a tool and pressed it on the Autobot’s chestplates, which parted obediently as the tool was activated. Some mechs blushes a little as the spark chamber was so carelessly revealed. It was the most intimate and sensitive part of any transformer… And then, the Spark chamber was opened with the same tool, making the bonded Prime trash and twist to avoid this. He looked almost panicked, now… And Megatron was threatening and cursing Starscream all that time, the Seeker ignoring him completely.
“Ha, there it is! The proof than your fearless Leader had sympathized with the enemy! I’ll let you have a closer look, so you’ll see what I’m talking about…” Starscream moved the recorder closer and everybody could see the inner circuitry of Prime’s Spark casing and his quickly pulsing spark… And the two smaller sparks nestled on each side of it. “Sparklings… And not any sparklings, but Megatron’s sparklings! Ho yes, our Mighty Leader had shamelessly shagged around with the Autobot Leader for some times now!”
Now, the gasps and exclamations in the room were not only surprised but also angered. How did Megatron, the Mighty Leader of the Decepticon, the Slag-Maker, could’ve done such a thing?! But not everyone was convinced. And then, Soundwave made a move and spoke, knowing than the Seeker can hear him. The TIC was more than a little enraged by now… How did Starscream DARE do something like that?! He’ll slag him the first chance he got! That jet was nothing but a walking scrap heap… But for now, he took a step forward and glared at the screen, his red visor bright with barely contained rage.
“You have no proof. Sparklings: could be somebody else’s.”
“Yeah, he’s right!” Said Skywarp then, glaring at the overconfident Air Commander in disbelief. “Show us some proof! I won’t buy it that easily! I may be a little simple, but I’m not dumb, Screamer! It may be another of your twisted plan to overthrown Megatron.”
Soundwave silently thanked the black and purple Seeker, noticing than many Decepticons were nodding in approval at the jet’s words. Starscream must’ve anticipate this because he grinned at the screen and shook his head in a falsely disappointed way.
“Tsk… So little trust… Looks like I’m gonna have to prove you I’m not making this all up. You see, our two dear Leaders here had the foolishness to bond and, since this is a Spark bond, what one feel, the other felt it too. Besides, I made certain than they could not block the bond right now, so they’re all open to each other. Let me show you a little demonstration.”
Starscream leaned closer to Optimus Prime and started to lightly caress the exposed Spark chamber. The Autobot shivered and tried to move away, and for the first time since that entire ordeal had begun, he spoke. His voice was still commanding and deep, but it was also deeply tired and strained. Like if he was trying to suppress sobs or moans, or both. Well, that wouldn’t be surprising, seeing the situation he was in…
“Starscream… Please, don’t do it! Not like this…” Suddenly, as Starscream ignored him and continued his ministration, he raised his voice and managed to push him away with a head-butt. “TAKE YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF ME!!”
Starscream hadn’t fallen to his aft, as Optimus had obviously intended to do, but he had been pushed some meters away. The jet only ‘tsk’-ed him and got closer again, this time closing the neck collar and hooking it to the wall. This time, Optimus was completely immobilized; he couldn’t even move his head, except to turn it right or left. What happened after was… well, arousing, yes, but disturbing was more like it.
And what Starscream was doing to Optimus wasn’t even the most interesting things happening in that room. Megatron had started to twist, pants and moan no longer after Optimus Prime and he was obviously in the same kind of state that the Autobot Leader without even bring touched… Blinking and looking from the odd couple to the Decepticon leader, some decepticons started to growl and whispers angrily. So that was true… Megatron was really bonded to Prime!
“What the slag is THAT!?!” Asked an angry Hook as he was looking at the screen in disbelief. The Decepticon’s Medic looks like he was fuming. “How did this happens? It’s completely unbelievable… How could Megatron do such a thing?!”
Soundwave was desperate… What could he do now that the truth was out? The mechs in the room seems to be more and more agitated, and an argument had even started between the Seekers and the constructicons. And two groups seem to emerge already. Those who were arguing in favor of Megatron and those who were saying that it was treason. And the second group was larger than the first… Surprisingly, the two other Seekers seem to be in the first group, and loathing Starscream openly. Knowing than they were bonded themselves make this more understandable. Using a Spark bond against those who were sharing it was blasphemy…
The red and blue Seeker had apparently finished with the Autobot Leader and was talking again, cutting the growing arguments short. His voice was harsher and screechier than usual…
“Haaa, I see that you’re already proceeding that little bit of information. Now, I believe you’ll see than Megatron is not fit to lead us to victory against the Autobots anymore … Since he’s bonded to their Leader! And that I am the only one able to replace him!”
Soundwave had had enough. He wasn’t going to listen at Starscream rambling about how better he would be as Leader. But the damage was already done, and he could already see and feel which Decepticon were going to go for Starscream and which ones were supporting Megatron. And, sadly, the first group was bigger…
“Starscream: inferior. Following you: not an option. Megatron: still the Leader.”
Starscream narrowed his optics at the telepath, and hissed, between his clenched teeth.
“We’ll see who’s ‘inferior’, Soundwave, when I’m in charge. I have a little errand to do before I get back! I’ll be there in two Earth days, and I expect a correct welcoming because then, I WILL BE LEADER!”
And with that, the screen went blank.
oOo
***Autobot’s base, the Ark***
The Decepticons had not been the only one to receive Starscream’s transmission. He had broadcasted it on all frequencies, both Autobot’s and Decepticon’s. And the Autobots, like the Decepticons, were refueling at that time and most of them were on the rec. room.
When the big screen in the center of the room came to life, showing Starscream twisted grin for all Autobots to see, everybody turned to the screen to see what was happening. And soon, Prowl and Ratchet, and all those who were currently on duty, were called to the rec. room. Optimus was found… and he was in Starscream clutches, and not Megatron, anymore!
And, as the show goes on and Starscream actually raped the Autobot’s Leader in front of everyone to prove his point, the room literally erupted in enraged, loud shouting and exclamations. The Twins had almost jumped to the screen, only restrained by Jazz and Prowl in time to avoid that. Every other mechs were shocked and disgusting by that horrible mockery Starscream was making of something as important and sacred than a Spark Bond. Angered and disbelieving exclamations were heard from every corner of the room. The most vocal were the Twins, Ratchet, Jazz and surprisingly, even Bumblebee.
“That slagger! I’ll tear him apart…”
“how DARE he do this?!...”
“The sunovaglitch… He’s as good as deactivated!...”
And many other things like that were shouted, making the room noisy, all in the same vein. And as for Ironhide…
Ironhide would be pale with rage if robots could be pale. He was awkwardly quiet during the entire ordeal. A barely contained bloodlust, an unending rage oward the Decepticon Seeker, could be felt from him as he was glaring at the scene on the screen like he intended on melting it by the sheer power of his look. He was tense and clenching and unclenching his fists slowly, optics blazing wildly. Soon, a clear space formed around him, and he was alone in a large spot near the center of the room. Whispers and worried looks were shot his way by his fellow Autobots, but he didn’t even notice it.
All that the old warrior could see was Starscream raping Optimus in front of everyone. To prove a point, nothing else… Suddenly, he lifted his laser and shot at the screen; cutting the disgusting recording and making the screen explode and melted to a pile of scraps. Every optics in the room turned his way and a heavy silence had fallen. After e moment, Prowl came closer and carefully put his hand on the tense, trembling shoulder, talking to him in a calm, reassuring voice.
“Calm down, Ironhide. Destroying a screen wouldn’t resolve anything.”
Releasing a deep breath from his intakes, the red van sighed and turned to face Prowl. The Autobots were watching this with worry, puzzled by all that. Prowl was the only one to know how Ironhide felt toward Optimus, so the extreme reaction of the weapon Specialist took them by surprise. Cautiously, the twins came closer in case the red mech decided to blow a fuse and needed to be restrained.
“Starscream’s deactivated. I’ll rip his Spark out! That perverted little psycho…” Mumbled the mech, barely noticing the others around him.
Prowl squeezed the red shoulder a little to get Ironhide’s attention. He had to snap him out of this before it got out of hands… knowing the weapon’s specialist, if it goes to that, it’ll be very ugly. The tactician motioned to Ratchet to come closer in case he needs him, and talked again, more firmly and louder.
“IRONHIDE, snap out of it! I need you at full capacity, here, if we are to help Optimus in any way! I’ll need your help to get him back, and you won’t be af any help if you fried a circuit!”
Suddenly, the red mechs seems to notice Prowl, Ratchet and the twins near him, and he huffed a little, regaining his composure at last. But he still seemed very angered and an awkward glint was lingering in the deep of his optics. Something that looks like a murdering look. Starscream was sooo gonna be slagged if the red van got the chance to grab him for a breem or two… But for now, he managed to regain his cool and nodded to the Datsun to make him know he had understood him and was alright. Prowl relaxed a little, relieved to be spared the needs to restrain an enraged Ironhide, which would’ve been tough and a waste of precious time, time that he couldn’t take the luxury to spare right now.
Not with Optimus Prime needing their help so much. At that moment, the fact that their Leader was bonded to the enemy Leader and even carrying a sparkling from that bond had slipped from his mind. Or, to be accurate, he pushed it aside for now, focusing in the task at hand, the rescue of Prime.
It was going to be hard and very complicated, seeing than now; they didn’t even know where he is.
“Now, we have to focus on our new mission: finding Prime and rescuing him from Starscream’s clutches. Something is telling me that the Seeker is up to no good…”
“What about Megatron? He was a prisoner too, or it had looked like it…” Asked Bumblebee then, a little shy.
It was an awkward question indeed. What about him? He had indeed looked like he was Starscream’s prisoner too, and that show the jet had put on… it was obviously a way to torture his Leader as well as the Autobot’s. Another strggle for power at the Decepticon’s army head, no doubt, but this time, Starscream had the upper hand. And Megatron had looked like he was really hurt by that entire situation. Something was off about the Decepticon Lord, but the tactician couldn’t put a finger on it just yet. Not to mention that Optimus had looked a bit different too, and again, he couldn’t pinpoint what it was. Something about his frame that had nothing to do with the restraints or what Starscream had done.
But Megatron may be a problem… or the solution to their problem. Prowl was taken aback by his own thought when this came to his mind. How Megatron could be the solution to their problem?
“I don’t now, Bumblebee, but I have the feeling than we may have a surprise before this situation is resolved.” Answered the Datsun thoughtfully. “But we have to locate Optimus first of all. He’s not on the moon anymore, but he’s somewhere on this planet.”
“Yeah, maybe, but that mudball’s big, ya know, Prowler…”
Jazz has a serious expression for once, and he was leaning casually on a table in the center of the room. He had crossed his arms across his chest and was starring intensely at his bondmate. The other Autobots agreed sadly at that, but they weren,t going to give uo just yet.
Even if it takes a century, they’ll found Prime and free him. Little did they know than, not even two Earth days later, they’ll have some much unexpected allies to back them up…
oOo
***Unknown location***
Megatron came back online slowly and painfully.
After Starscrean cut the communication with the Decepticon base, he had knock both Megatron and Optimus out with a circuit breaker. The procedure was painful, and very tough to any mechanical system subjected to it. The aftereffects’ will last for at least an Earth day after the subject came back online. He’ll feel dizzy, slow and have stiff joints, as well as a processor ache from the pit… Megatron groaned a little as he managed to online his optics, but had wished he hadn’t done so as soon as he saw his surroundings. Aside from the pain that shot through his CPU from the bright light assaulting his optics, he was lying on a deep layer of half-rotten leafs and bushes. Above him was an impenetrable cover of trees that was blocking his view of the sky. The air was moist and hot, almost steaming, and he could already felt the effects of that kind of weather on his circuits.
He remembered what Starscream had told him before shutting him off, and his optics blazed a deep red in rage. That little traitor was as good as deactivated! He had told him that he was going to take good care of HIS Decepticons once he was gone. He had planned to dump him on some remote and forgotten place in the universe and let him rot there… Well, he was going to teach him a lesson once he came out of this!
His thought were cut by a pained moan coming from near him, to his right, and he turned to see Optimus Prime lying on his side, curled in a ball and hugging himself. He looked miserable and cute all at once… But it was the feelings coming from him through the bond, still wide open, that startled him. Self-hatred, shame and pain. A lot of pain, coming form his sparklings and the spot below his Spark casing, where the protoforms were growing slowly, unbeknown to all. A low, painful moan escaped him and he shivered, like if he was trapped in a terrifying dream. Because he was still unconscious…
Leaning closer to him, Megatron grabbed Optimus’ shoulder and shook him firmly to wake him.
“Prime? Prime! Time to wake up, sleepy head!”
With a start, the blue and red semi woke up and slapped wildly at the hand that was grabbing him. His optics brightened immediately and he sat up, only to fall back down with a startled and pained yelp. His optic then fell to his companion of misfortune and he sighed deeply, not exactly relieved but at least a little better. It was only Megatron… He lifts a hand to his aching helm and rubbed his temple slowly, trying to clear his CPU.
“Hoooo, Primus… What… What happened? Where are we?”
“Starscream happened, I’m afraid… As for where we are, I don’t have the slightest idea. Starscream had thought than dumping us here would be enough to get rid of me, but I’ll teach him what happens to those who betray me…”
Optimus looked around, noticing the strange, reddish quality of the light. It didn’t looks like Earth at all, and it was worrying him greatly. And the vegetation was strange, too big and dense for any of the Earth ecosystems he had seen or heard of.
“I have a bad feeling about this… I don’t think we’re on Earth anymore… That light, and that vegetation... they looked like nothing I had ever seen on Earth.”
Megatron noticed the strange surrounding too, but didn,t pay any mind to it until now. But that made sense, and if they weren’t on Earth anymore, getting back there was going to take much longer than anticipated. They had no map, no equipments to find their location and not the slightest clue about where they may be in the Universe… Suddenly worried, the Decepticon lord made a quick scan of his systems and found then his locator was removed. He cursed loudly, and Optimus looked at him curiously, optics narrowed.
“What? Is it something wrong?”
“Make a scan of your systems, prime, and tell me what you find!”
“Why? Is there a problem?”
Optimus looked puzzled, but Megatron had not time to waste on trying to explain everything to his companion, so he only growled in annoyance and urge him to doas he said. Optimus sighed at the harsh behavior but did it and then looked up at Megatron in surprise.
“My locator was removed! Yours, too, I assume… Well, it doesn’t look good, not at all. Without a locator, it’ll be very difficult for someone to find us.”
They were stranded on an unknown planet, without any means for survival or localization, and optimus looked very pained, as if he was going to collapse any moment. He was clutching his midsection with both arm, optics dimed and doing his best to hide his pain. Megatron crouched beside him and firmly pulled his arms apart to see what was bothering him so much. His optics widened and then narrowed at the slightly swollen bump that had grown in a couple of days beneath Optimus’ chest. What a surprise indeed… Apparently, the protoforms were growing inside of his body as well as the sparks… Megatron saw it a couple of times in the past, but it had been a while. He wasn’t surprised, though, because of the Matrix Optimus was carrying. It was certainly what had induced that unusual developpement.
But nonetheless, it was bothering; Optimus was in pain because of the straining on his chassis and spark casing and therefore unable to move quickly or very far for that matter.
“Ho Primus, why me? What did I do to deserve this?” Said Megatron in a comically dramatic tune, lifting his arms to the sky almost theatrically. “Get up, Optimus. I’m not going to carry you!”
Optimus chuckled at that, and tried to get up. He succeeded after the third try but he was still leaning forward a little, hugging himself with an arm at every time. And then, they started walking. After a couple of hours, they reached a clearance, and on the other side were a cliff wall, high and covered in vegetation. But through the vegetation, at the base of the cliff, an opening could be barely seen. A cave, obviously, and Megatron pulled Optimus along to get there. At least, it would made a decent shelter…
Once inside, Optimus slide down the wall and sat with a heavy sigh. He was so incredibly tired and pained that he was almost numb now. He had fallen in recharge before Megatron had time to examine the cave and make sure it was safe. It was, and when he finally settled down beside the Autobot Leader, Megatron chuckled at his recharging companion. Optimus’ head had fallen on his shoulder and he was snoozing lightly through his intakes. Feeling his own discomfort take the better of him, Megatron gathered his mate in his arms without even noticing it and fell into a deep recharge too.
