Megatron's twin

144: "He'd make a handsome chicken."

"Forget the council, this is how the war started, the moment Megatronus read this-" I started.

"He proceeded to write his own fanfiction, where I was a toad and he a prince." Optimus grumbled, Ratchet joined in halfway through and he was in tears. "Will you stop laughing!" Op slapped him as he giggled some more.

"He he!"

The chickens seemed to be in a better mood.

That diary is the best that's ever happened to all of us. Egg wheezed.

"I wish we met sooner." I giggled and leaned on Oppy.

Optimus grumbled, "Why do you have to keep embarrassing me?"

"Cause no one else will." I shrugged as I popped into the other room. Knockout seemed to be in a bad mood, Airachnid was grinning mischievously. "How's the legs?" I asked.

She frowned a deep frown.

Then Soundwave steeped in, followed by Megatron. He snarled at me.

"It was Optimus' idea!" I argued.

"And where is he?"

"Hmm?" Oppy stuck his helm through the door frame.

"Well?" Megatron started.

"Well what?" Optimus asked, then remembered Airachnid, looking sleepy. "The war's over." He said.

"Oh right it is, I'm sure Arcee won't mind if I go tell her-"

"Meg-" He was interrupted when Soundwave brought up coordinates. "What's that?"

"You tracked it?" Meg asked Soundy. He got a nod in response.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Strange energy signature." Meg muttered.

"A cat-anator?" I asked with a grin, Optimus groaned. Megatron grinned before he let out a snort. "Can I go track it?" I asked excitedly, I wanted to be a cat.

"Alone?" Meg asked.

I snorted, "No, I need help." I said, "Optimus is good with a tracker-"

"Awesome, why don't you both skedattle out of here-"

"Skedattle?" Optimus asked.

"Just leave." Meg grumbled and stepped aside.

And so we left, with Egg, Egg wanted to come. We made it down to the ground went we ran into Magnus. He looked at us in confusion, "Are you going somewhere?" He asked.

Optimus held up his scanner, "We're going to track a energon signature."

"It just popped up?" Magnus asked.

"It must have been revealed with the Predacon reincarnation." Optimus suggested

"I can assist you." Magnus said.

He wanted to come too, great. "No" I said while Optimus said, "Sure." I glared at him. We ended up leaving with Magnus. He drove on the ground with Optimus while I flew with Egg in my subspace.

Maybe we'll turn Magnus into a cat. Egg suggested while she did squats in my chassis, at lease I thought they were squats.

If we could turn Magnus into anything, what would you- I started.

A chicken. Egg said.

"Why?"

It would make him so much more relatable. She said.

"For you perhaps." I said as I smirked. The others started to slow so I flew lower. "We almost there?" I asked as I landed on Optimus.

"Oof, Almost." He said as I sat down more comfortably. Then an awkward silence pursued.

"So..." Magnus started. "How goes, stuff?" He asked.

"Define stuff?" I asked.

"Just stuff." He said.

"We brought Airachnid onto the ship." Optimus helped out, seeming to take pity on his SIC's lousy attempt to make conversation.

"Why would you-"

"The war's over." I said as he came to a stop, Optimus transformed, shaking me off. He helped me up. "Thanks."

"It's a cave." Magnus started, "Why is it always a cave?" He asked himself as he looked down on the scanner.

And sure enough, whatever we were looking for was in a cave.

Five shanix says it's gonna collapse and someone will need to dig us out.

"It's not gonna collapse."

Oh come on, it's so predictable, so cliche! Egg argued.

"Stop jinxing us." I grumbled as we walked into the cave. "But just in case, lets tread lightly." I muttered.

"The Predacons must have opened it, there's claw marks." Optimus said.

"Looks like they were trying to get out." Magnus corrected. We came to a chamber with ancient markings.

"Bloody hell, it's just like what you wrote in your diary." I told Optimus as I took Egg out.

You're right, there's even a vase here! Egg noted. I knocked it over to see what he'd do, of course he caught it.

"You had a diary?" Magnus asked Oppy as he carefully put the vase back.

"Yea, don't let him touch any gun like looking things, or he'll turn us into cats." I joked.

"Will you stop please?" Optimus begged.

"It's just like what you wrote in your diary!" I argued, "Did you find this place before?"

"No, it's all coincidence." Optimus shook his helm.

"What was in his diary?" Magnus asked.

"He wrote fanfictions about himself as Orion." I started as Optimus groaned. "In the one we're referring to, he goes on a quest with Megatronus." I said, "Finds a chamber like this, picks up a gun, shoots Megatronus and turns him into a cat-"

"A cat?" Magnus blinked as Optimus picked up a blueish orb. "Put that down." Magnus said, sounding slightly panicky.

"I'm not turning you into a cat." Optimus grumbled, "And this isn't a gun." He shook it.

"And there was a second chamber full of living stone cats." I added.

"You should write a book." Magnus said, turning to Optimus.

"There ain't no second room thought." I started, "I suppose we don't have to worry about that stone cat army." I joked.

You're gonna jinx us at this point. Egg grumbled, doing slightly better with the gravity as I put her down.

Then I noticed the orb in Oppy's servos start to glow, "What did you do?" I asked in panic. I wouldn't mind being a cat but would prefer to avoid it.

"Nothing!" He said as he tried to hand it to me.

"Oh hell no! I'm not touching that!" I said as I stepped back.

"I don't want to be a cat." Magnus groaned.

"You're not going to be a cat." Optimus said.

A chicken if anything, he'd make a handsome chicken. Egg said, more dreamy than I expected.

Then we were engulfed in light and over taken by a sleepy hase.
