Friendly Patience (A TFP Fanfiction) - Megatron x OC

CHAPTER NINE - An Important Photo

"Wake up, you pathetic lump of flesh!" Starscream ordered, the small human dangling from the chains with its head drooped. He watched in rage as it lifted its shaking head and spoke, but not the words he wanted to hear.

"Grandma... is it cookie time?" He asked in that coocoo voice, before his head dropped once again. Starscream growled, knowing that was his last chance as the shots came even closer behind the door. He had read a thing or two from the logs about humans, but he hadn't expected them to be so hard to interrogate! Especially since this specific Human was nothing but weak!

Suddenly, there were two knocks on the door. It slid open, the one remaining Vehicon opening it with their blaster raised. There stood the vehicon, who stood still... Almost deathly still. "Well?!" Starscream screeched, his Energon prod almost snapping in his furious grip.

The body dropped to the floor, Tua standing behind it, who quickly shot the one and only Vehicon in the chest. It swayed, before falling down with a thump. Bumblebee and Bulkhead rolled in behind her, aiming their own blasters at the mech who took a quick step back in shock. "Not so fast!" He ordered, pulling out his own blaster and pointing it at the unfortunate Fowler, who still hung from his likely dislocated arms. Not to mention the blood in his feet.

'Tap Tap!' A blaster sounded on the Cons head, who looked up to see Arcee hiding in the vent. Her size definitely helped her fit in the small spot, allowing her to remind him how outnumbered he really was. "I wouldn't!" She threatened, shaking her helm in anger. This, however, only fed to the Cons fiendish ways.

"Oh, but I might." He purred, jutting the blaster into the Humans side. They all stood still, waiting for the other to make a move.

"Now, Agent Fowler and I will take our leave!" He announced, glaring at Tua who stood in front of the others. But suddenly, His attention was snatched away by Fowler's strange addition.

"The eagles say... yEaH!" He swung his legs giddily, the electrocution probably sitting in his brain like a weight.

Using this distraction, Bee fired at the mech's servo, knocking it away as he cried out in fear. He hopped out of the way of a couple other shots from the other bots, who were careful not to hit the now unconscious Fowler. He quickly transformed, blowing Arcee back with his thrusters. He flew past Bulk who gave a quick 'whoa!' at the mech's speed. He flew down the hall and took a quick bend, disappearing out of sight.

Suddenly, the terminal for Echo in Tua's chest beeped twice, mimicking the drone. She looked at the others, shock and fear filling her optics. "The kids!"

~~~

Jack and Echo lunged forward, knocking the boy out of the way as a shot barely missed the both of them. They all lay in the Vehicons' sights as Echo hyperventilated against Raf's chest and Rose and Miko all stayed behind, watching the scene unfold helplessly. "Miko! Take a picture!" Jack ordered the Girl as the Vehicon looked to the other two humans.

"What good would that do!?" Rose asked, But Miko ignored her.

"Great Idea!" She replied, hopping like a maniac. The vehicon stomped forward, aiming his blaster down to the three who looked up in horror.

"Hey, you!" Miko yelled, her loud voice catching the mechs attention. It turned its helm to Miko, confused by her blatant courage and carelessness, who quickly took a snap of the con with her pink flip phone. She turned around, grinning at the photo happily, but Jack didn't like it at all.

"Not of that!" He yelled, catching Miko's attention again. "That!" He pointed to the screen where the schematics continued to shimmer, the ones that were paramount to get to Optimus.
