[The next day]
[Planet Cybertron]
[Location: Prison cell of Luna, Darkmount Kaon]
Luna's POV
It was already dawn and the faint light of the sun entered through the skylight of my prison cell, as Megatron still stood before me, as the guards prepared for an interrogation.
Megatron: "Believe me, you will be forced to tell us everything we seek to know. Soundwave! Record the conversation."
Soundwave: "As you wish my Lord."
Luna: "What's the...point! You'll end up killing me don't you?"
Megatron: "Oh no! I don't wish to kill you. In fact, I intend to reclaim you as one of our own!"
I raised an optic ridge, exhaling in disgust, aware of what he meant; as it became all too clear to me.
Luna: "Hmph!!"
Megatron: "You will be my Queen!"
Oh hell no!! I wasn't gonna fall for his lustful desires once again. I belong to only one person and that's Optimus Prime. Too bad for Megatron when he gets to know I'm already bonded with Optimus.
Luna: "Do you really think that I'm gonna fall for that? I'm no fool Megatron! I've got a taste of what it's like to be in love with you!!! You treat me like an animal!"
Megatron was enraged by my remark. I became sure that it was gonna be my end as I saw him walk towards me; but unexpectedly he just clawed my faceplate, calling the medic inside the cell.
Megatron: "Knock Out! Take her to the Medical Facility and tend to her injuries. I shall visit you soon enough."
Knock Out: "Yes...My Lord."
It was the best opportunity to escape, but I was too weak to even run a few steps. So I had nothing else to do than to give up and wait for my treatment.
[Back at Iacon]
Optimus Prime's POV
I woke up all of a sudden, sitting up on my berth as I could feel my spark beating faster than normal. I watched outside of my quarter to see it was already morning. I got down from the berth to turn aside and in moments chill went down my spine. Luna wasn't there! I looked around for seconds, calling out her name as I rushed out to the command center, eventually getting attention of all the Autobots.
Bumblebee: "What's wrong big bot?"
Ratchet: "You're late than usual. Optimus what's wrong?"
Optimus Prime: "Ratchet do you have any idea where Luna is?"
Ratchet: "No why? She was supposed to be in your quarters."
Optimus Prime: "She wasn't, when I woke up."
Arcee: "How could this possibly be?"
[Back to Medical Facility, Darkmount Kaon]
Luna's POV
I was coming back to the world I knew. I didn't know how long I've been in stasis but I quickly recognized that I was in the Medical Facility of Kaon.
Knock Out: "Thank the Allspark you're awake! I've been wondering if you would be in stasis forever."
Luna: "Why would you care? Wouldn't it be good if my spark swept away?"
Knock Out: "Naturally...but for me, I don't like anyone dying on my lab table."
I began to push myself up on the berth, but laid back down as pain seeped through every single vein of my body.
Knock Out: "Stay down. You sustained quite some damage."
Luna: "I can...hardly remember anything."
Knock Out: "Lord Megatron fatally wounded your face. I had to endure surgery to ensure that you survive."
Luna: "Uhmm..okay........"
As we were talking, I saw Soundwave walk in the lab. He always creeped me out, for he was the quiet one.
Soundwave: "Lord Megatron wants to know how the patient is doing...."
Knock Out: "She's doing just fine."
Soundwave: "Megatron wishes to see her....."
Knock Out: "I'm afraid he'll have to wait. She's too weak to move."
Knock Out signalled me to stay calm as Soundwave nodded and left the lab.
Luna: "Knock Out, why does Megatron want me here?"
Knock Out: "To make you his Queen."
Luna: "Tell me something I don't know!"
Knock Out: "He wants to kill Optimus Prime through you."
Luna: "Wait what?! I'm not letting that happen!!"
Knock Out: "I believe he'll be very upset when he finds out you're bonded with someone else..."
My optics widened as Knock Out said that, I couldn't believe he found it! But how?
Luna: "How did you find out?"
Knock Out: "I was scanning for injuries when the scanner detected half of Prime's spark fused with you."
Luna: "I'll kill you if you tell that to Megatron! Is that clear?!"
Knock Out: "Crystal clear ma'am."
[Back to Iacon]
Optimus Prime: "It is certain that she's been kidnapped by the Decepticons."
Jazz: "What? How?!"
Hound: "There wasn't any breach in the HQ..."
Optimus Prime: "Perhaps she likes talking a walk at night...maybe that was when...."
Cliffjumper: "Oh dear!"
Optimus Prime's POV
I couldn't focus on my work, as I couldn't stop thinking about the damages the Decepticons probably did to her. I couldn't feel her presence through the bond either.
Ratchet: "Optimus...I know you're worried about her, I think you should have some rest in order to resume the search, while we take care of the situation here."
Ultra Magnus: "Ratchet is right."
I softly nodded at Ratchet and went to my quarters, trying to force myself to recharge while thoughts of Luna still haunted my mind.
Ultra Magnus: "Prowl! Spread out your team and search for probable sightings of Luna last night."
Prowl: "Yes Sir!"
