Kate's POV

"Ummm. Hello?" I asked.

An eerie silence remained as I stood waiting in an empty energon cube. Megatron dropped me in here eariler to yell at someone.

That was a long time ago.

Suddenly the cube shifted and I fell over, yelping as a vechicon picked up the cube.

"He-!"

I was cut off as he tossed the cube into a bin and I landed in another cube, with my old prison on top. Completely stuck.

I kicked the cube, "HEY! I'M IN HERE BRO!"

The cart started moving again and I fell over, my feet sliding against the slick remains of energon.

Wasn't this, like, supposed to be toxic or something?

I pushed against the confines of the energon cube and huffed.

Stupid tiny human muscles.

"HEYYYYYY!" I yelled, banging against the cube.

Suddenly everything shifted again and I fell over, tumbling out of the cube and onto other energon cubes. I looked up and saw tons more falling toward me.

I yelped, lunging to the side before they could crush me. I scrambled across the nearest cubes to get away, but my foot slipped into a crack.

I pulled, but another cube shifted and landed on top. I cried out, gritting my teeth in pain.

The torrent of empty cubes stopped and I watched as a vechicon walked away with a bucket.

"Hey!" My voice cracked and the vechicon got farther away.

"HEEYYY!" I yelled.

He didn't return.

"Ugh!" I exclaimed in frustration, looking down at my trapped foot.

"UGGGHHHH!" I yelled angrily.

This was incredibly infuriating!

First my childhood dreams become a reality, but then they are torn away within less than ten minutes and now I'm on my enemy's ship suck in a trash can!

How could this get any worse!?

"Hello there little one."

I whirled around, looking up at a hulking insecticon.

"Hel- hello." I stuttered.

He smirked, "I believe you are one of Lord Megatron's most recent visitors?"

"Yes." I whispered.

"Strange. I would have though you would have encountered more insecticons. Being on Cybertron and all." He said.

"Um- uh, we didn't really... leave the base." I muttered.

He paused, "Why are you in a trash disposal?"

I sighed, "Long story."

The insecticon frowned, "You are not trying to escape are you?"

"I don't even know the first thing about escaping." I rolled my eyes before freezing, "I- I mean, if- if I wanted to. I'm not- I'm not planning to escape or- or anything." I quickly stammered.

He nodded before turning around.

"Wait!" I called.

He turned back around and looked at me.

"Could you help me out?" I asked, gesturing toward the energon cube on my foot.

"Fleshies." The insecticon complained before flicking it off.
