Chapter 6: Who We Are

Rose's POV

"Wrong groundbridge." Knockout was heard saying through Ellah's wrist device.

They were caught!

I jumped up from my spot and ran at the new groundbridge.

"Rose!" Everyone yelled from behind me.

I charged through, almost running off the side of a giant shelf.

"Another one." Megatron tilted his head and reached for me.

I snarled and leaped right over his pointy finger, scrambling up his wrist toward his shoulder.

Megatron was my favorite once, simply because he was cool and badass, but now that he had my friends... This bucket was going down.

"Get it off!" Megatron roared, shaking his arm.

I let out a small laugh, thinking about how much this situation resembled Kate when a bug was on her arm. Execpt Kate was usually terrified and Megatron was just disgusted.

"I'M A BARBIE GIRL! IN A BARBIE WORLD!" I started to sing, avoiding his other hand as he tried to rip me off.

Ah, the joy of annoying the heck out of people.

"MY LIFE IS PLASTIC! IT'S FANTASTIC!" I screamed, purposefully making my voice sound like a dying record player.

I saw the groundbridge expanding on the shelf as the bots attempted to get through. I turned back and crawled to Megatron's shoulder. He swatted at me furiously, while Soundwave and Knockout just stood there, looking at him in surprise.

"YOU CAN'T TOUCH MY HAIR! BECAUSE I'M AVOIDING YOUUUU!" I screamed, leaping onto his face and digging my hands into the metal platting on his cheek.

"GET OFF OF ME!" He ordered furiously, shaking himself like a wet dog.

I yelped, letting go for a moment before grabbing his audio receptor a.k.a. ear.

"I DON'T REMEMBER THE NEXT PART OF THE SONG! BUT I KNOW THAT MEGATRON IS BALLLDDD!" I pulled a pocket knife out of my boot and stabbed it into his audio receptor, making energon cone squirting out.

I cried out, my hand turning red and blue as it burned it. I shook, trying to flick the thick liquid off.

Megatron finally grabbed me and threw me roughly across the room. Luckily for me, the groundbridge was wide enough for the Autobots to drive through.

Arcee transformed, jumping up and catching me. I gasped, holding my hand in pain.

Soundwave pointed his tentacles at Ellah and Kate.

Megatron breathed deeply as the Autobots flooded into the lab and pointed their blasters.

Soundwave had tentacles, Knockout had a saw, but neither of those were long range, at least with Soundwave occupied holding my friends.

Megatron had been distracted by me, so he didn't have time to pull up his blaster.

"Megatron, release the humans." Optimus ordered, his sword under the warlord's chin.

"And why would I do that?" Megatron asked. "When we both know you won't attack me unless they're out of harm's way."

"Because if you don't, you'll lose your favorite Decepticon and you can't afford to lose your communications officer to a fleshy, can you?" Ellah asked smugly, pointing a Decepticon blaster up at Soundwave.

His tentacles tightened slightly, but did not advance toward my two friends any further.

Megatron snarled, looking very, very angry.
