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

Persuasion (2)

               I follow him and we meet with Ratchet. The doctor followed us which in turn, guards followed him. Once at the bridge, The guards remove Ratchet's restraint and the medic asks "How do you know I won't use these to amputate?" He ejects his blades and I step forward, ejecting my blasters "It'll be one less medic from the autobots." He stares at me shocked "Do you even know what's happening?" The doctor glares at me. I argue "No, but I'm protecting him from the likes of you." Megatron stops me "Easy on the insults. Besides, would Ratchet want to pass up a chance to see our molecular masking field?" Ratchet retracts his weapons "Your cloaking device?" He questions.

                 Megs pulls me to the side and lets Ratchet over to the controls. The medic scoffs "Shielding is shielding. High tech or low." My liege goes further "Perhaps you'll be more impressed by our energon transfusion capacitor. It allows us to maximize our consumption a thousandfold!" Ratchet agrees with a ruthless tone "Decepticon engineering never fails to impress." Megatron calms him "Doctor, we may be mortal enemies, but autobots and Decepticons do share one common goal. You would like to see the ruins of our devastated homeworld restored to their former brilliance; as would I." He shows the planet on the bridge's screen.

Ratchet grunts "Megatron, you would just try to conquer Cybertron all over again. And enslave anyone who refuses to pledge allegiance to you." I shake my helm. He's not that cruel— "Of course I would!!" My leader yells aggressively. I stare up at him in shock. "And your comrades would attempt to stop me as ever!" He continues. "But at least we would once again possess a planet worth fighting over!" I loosen up, relaxing. Ratchet then says "But you wouldn't stop there, would you? Earth would be next, if not first. What assurance do I have that you would leave humankind be?.... And that you wouldn't instantly terminate me once you get what you need." I start but my master interrupts "He may terminate you but that's just decepticon way, he wouldn't—" "No assurance whatsoever.... On either. After all, we both know that as a decepticon, any assurances I might offer would be.... Worthless." That sent me into silence.

I think about what he's said in the past

"I'll let it go this time." He's still holding onto that....

"You won't." I WILL lose another friend.

"It's not your fault." It WAS my fault that Soundwave got caught.

"You'd die before coming close to becoming a terrocon." Did he mean that or did he not know?

"I understand." No, he doesn't understand why I didn't attack Wheeljack. He thinks I was making an excuse.

Assurance after assurance....

I was done. Megatron continued "But that does not change the fact that you may be Cybertron's only hope of ever seeing life again." Megatron left the room and Ratchet looks to me who was in turn looking to the ground, ashamed. I look to him for a second before jolting my head away and gritting my teeth. I close my eyes and process their conversation. I shake my helm "Promise Breaker...."
