Merformers: Prime: The Shark and the Betta

Chapter 3: Firestar meets Megatron

After teaching a lesson to his minions not to mess with an innocent female by robbing her for trespassing onto the Deceptisharks territory which is Kaon, Megatron orders his soldiers to swim back to the citadel fortress of Kolkular before Megatron sends for the Deceptishark medic, Knock Out, as he swims over to the unconscious mermaid. And as Megatron looks upon Firestar, she looked rather beautiful while unconscious and the warlord couldn't help but feel attracted to her. Of course, he hadn't met the beautiful mermaid but in truth, Megatron had never been in love before both romantically and sexually. The big, muscular shark-like merman gently carried Firestar over to his fortress where Knock Out began to check on the unconscious mermaid for any signs of blood or injury. Thankfully, there wasn't any blood, just a minor bruise on her back which Knock Out took the time to mend with painkiller medicine.

Meanwhile, back on Cyberlantis, Inferno was searching for his bride-to-be and he had asked Chromia and the other merfolk if they had seen Firestar. Inferno soon went over to Moonbeam who was Firestar's guardian and mentor and he asked the elderly mermaid where his bride-to-be was and Moonbeam explained to Inferno that she had simply vanished without a word the other night.

"What do you mean that Firestar vanished without a word the other night?!" said Inferno.

"She was very unhappy the last time I saw her. I'm pretty sure that she forgot to let me know that she needed to go somewhere to sulk." Moonbeam told the merman.

"But I want to know where she is. I wanna tell her that I've always loved her more than a friend and that I actually do understand that...that this arranged marriage between me and Firestar came rather unexpectedly. But I just wanted to make sure that she's okay because I love her." Inferno explained.

"I understand your feelings, Inferno. But please, be patient and give Firestar some time. She'll come eventually by the time your wedding ceremony begins." Moonbeam promised.

"But Firestar really wouldn't have left without a word and hide somewhere...unless..." Inferno thought for a moment before he remembered the last time when Megatron led his Deceptisharks to attack Cyberlantis, and that gave the merman a rather shocking assumption that Firestar might've been kidnapped the other night. "Unless she might've been kidnapped and we didn't even know about it!" said Inferno.

"Do not jump to conclusions, Inferno. I know Firestar and there's no way that..." Moonbeam tried to tell Inferno, but the love-sick merman interrupted the old mermaid.

"Firestar is my future mate! I decide where or whatever happens to her!" Inferno snapped. "Megatron must've hired one of his Deceptisharks to sneak out here by night and they stole her away from us!" he assumed in a harsh tone.

"Control your temper, Inferno! If Firestar really was captured by the enemy, then clearly there would've been news by now. Maybe your bride ran away due to her fear of disappointing her family and friends by NOT agreeing to marry you according to Sentinel Prime's idea." Moonbeam said as she tried to reason with Inferno.

"Maybe, but Firestar must come to me by noon and if she's not found by nightfall, then there will be a search party for her!" Inferno declared.

Meanwhile, back at Kaon, Firestar was laying on a smooth flat rock while she was still out cold and Megatron couldn't help but admire her beauty. He then stared at her round breasts as they looked rather gorgeous and even her curves looked rather neat. Megatron wanted to caress Firestar's beautiful cheek, but he refused to give in to his mating instincts as he knew that he wasn't ready to find a mate yet. The Deceptishark warlord could see that the mermaid was not only beautiful, but she was strong and healthy and that if she ever mated with someone, then she would give birth to healthy, beautiful children of her own. Knock Out had already mended the wounds that Starscream, one of the Deceptisharks who ambushed Firestar, had given her before taking her bag away before being punished by Megatron for mistreating a female trespasser who obviously didn't know that she and her kind were unwanted in Kaon.
