In Between S2-> S3(Megatron X OC X Optimus)

Crossfire (5)

I flew in behind Dreadwing and the others. The autobots were there as well... fantastic... We all transform and I stand next to Dreadwing, my blasters and missiles ejected and his Gatling gun out and ready. Bulkhead sighs "Oh scrap." I stared into Prime's optics. He was surprised. He had never seen me hold a weapon at him while staring him blankly in the eyes.

It was insanely silent for a minute. Dreadwing speaks up "Deliver Megatron to us, and I will allow you to live." Bulkhead yells out "Never trust a con!!! KICK BUCKET HEAD'S BUCKET!!!" I growl, baring my teeth and turning my optics blood red. Optimus looks to Dreadwing, Bulkhead, the eradicons, Megatron, and then back to us "Dreadwing, do I have your word?" It goes silent once more for a few minutes.

Dreadwing then sets his gun back on his back and taps my shoulder. I retract my weapons and my optics return to blank red. Optimus retracts his and hold his hand up to his team. Megatron breaths out. Dreads walks over to him "My liege." He helps him to his feet. I got his arm, letting him hold onto my shoulder for support. He hissed and gasped in pain as he stood. Megatron had one heck of a fight. I also saw a deep cut around his neck.

He then says "Dreadwing may have given you his word, but I did not!!" He takes his arm away, pointing to the autobots. "DESTROY THEM!!!" My liege shouts. Everyone begins shooting and Megatron, Dreadwing and I, transform and take to the sky.

"You disobeyed my orders in following me here!!" Lord Megatron growls. I sigh in embarrassment, looking away. He then laughs proudly "You will make a fine first lieutenant. And ShiverTooth, well done on standing your ground." Megatron boosts off and we follow.

Back in the mine

Optimus's Perspective

We finished up the last of the decepticons. Bulkhead says "That was intense." My mind was spinning. Shivertooth had his guns to me, and he stared at me with no emotion whatsoever. Something happened to him, and I needed to figure out what.

I com into my other teammate "Arcee, what is your status?" She answers "*sigh* in need of assist, but alive, and so is Airachnid." We began running out of the cave to get to her location. Bulkhead states "At least Megatron took care of the other bug problem." Bumblebee then says "=<Are we not forgetting something?>=" We get out of the cave and he continues "=<ShiverTooth was holding a blaster at us and had his missiles ejected. He even growled when you called MegaJerk Bucket Head!!!>=" Bulkhead argues "You called him a nickname too!!"

"=<I did, just now!! It's not like he can hear me.>="

I speak up "Enough Arguing. I will figure out why he did so. Pressure on him is my top guess, but it may be something else." Bulkhead counters "He is possibly going back to his roots." Arcee then shouts from the distance "For the hundredth time!!! He's not like Starscream!!!!" We get to her and I eject my blade, cutting the webbing open for Arcee." She steps out and rises to her feet. "How would you know, you weren't there." Bulkhead says to her. What is with the arguing!??

Arcee explains "Listen, I've treated him like a carrier would, and mothers know their children. Now I'm not ShiverTooth's real mom but I can tell what's going on. I've been through the same thing. He's probably just getting over the death of someone important to him and thats why he's gone full decepticon and aiming a gun at you, Prime." That did sound like the logical thing that would happen in ShiverTooth's life. I just need to get close enough to him to figure it out.

Starscream's perspective

When I heard Arcee yell to her friends "For the hundredth time!!! He's not like Starscream!!!!" I got curious. I hid, and listened into their conversation. Arcee said something about having a mother to child relationship with him which just grossed me out. I gagged and said to myself "Our mother died, what makes you think he wants to relive that?" I then heard something about my brother getting over the death of someone. Oh boy, now this is good.... Arcee then says "and thats why he's gone full decepticon and aiming a gun at you, Prime." I was shocked. I run off and say to myself "So, my brother is turning into me and pointing a gun at his beloved friend, Optimus? Oh ho ho!!! Now this just got interesting...."
