Megatron's twin

159: Sneak 100

Half a minute after that conversation with Meg, well, he got Soundwave to look on cams. The door opened and I certainly didn't have enough time to get off Optimus.

We had an awkward stare off.

"Sup-"

"Get of him." Megatron growled.

I didn't get off him so Oppy shuffled off the berth "Aw." I mumbled.

"Who gave you media access? And this berthroom?" Meg asked Op.

Optimus just pointed at Egg.

"And you?" He asked me.

I pointed at Egg. She grinned.

"Argh." Meg muttered, "Soundwave has arranged Ultra Magnus to go with you to find the Allspark." Megatron started.

"Now?"

"Preferably."

I blinked, they're having a semi-polite conversation? "Can I come?" I asked.

"No." They both said. "You'll take his ship." Megatron said to Optimus and started to leave.

Optimus looked over at me, "Can I come?" I started.

"No, it is risky-" He started and I scoffed, "You just had a spark failure and cerebral problems-"

"Hmpf, fine." I grumbled and crossed my arms.

"It will not take that long." Optimus added as he took a small step towards the door. I just let out a grumble. "I will bring you a souvenir." He added.

"Ohhhh, space rock, exciting." I was already starting to sulk.

Optimus just let out a sigh as he walked towards the door, "I love you."

"I love you too." I said with a little smile and he was gone. "Egg."

"Yup?"

"I need you to distract him while I sneak onto Ultra Magnus' ship, distract them both if you can." I instructed.

"Gee, I liked it more when you treated me like a holy deity." Egg grumbled and stopped jumping on the typing section of her datapad.

"Yea, I bet- thanks for not abusing that privilege." I added.

Egg snorted, "Why'd you think Chickens where holy anyway?" She asked.

"Oh, when I was young, a flock of chickens chased off his huge cyber-fox that was trying to eat me."

"Chickens chased away their natural predator to save you?" Egg asked as we walked out the berthroom. "Were you high?"

"Pfff! No! I was little!" I argued, "besides, fifteen chickens acting in unison can totally pummel a cyber-fox!" I argued.

"Or one fire breathing chicken." Egg suggested.

"Have you seen cyber-foxes?" I asked.

"No, but-"

"There they are!" I whispered and peeked around the corner. "Egg, get ready."

"Ahhhhh, I gotta think of a distraction." Egg closed her optics and thought. "Think, think, think- I got it! Goodluck!" Egg said and waddled off. "Yo! Butter Aft, I found something amazing!" I heard her say as I started to make my way to the landing bay.

I got onto Ultra Magnus' ship and looked for a hiding place. Where were the hiding places?" I mean, there are two berths against the wall, but hiding under those would be futile. Then I spotted the still open weapons vault.

Honesty, I could fit in that! I opened it further- all I have to do is find new places for the multitude of weapons. I would have thought Magnus to be smart enough to lock this thing.

I started to hide the weapons under the berths, under chairs and all over the place then squished myself into the large vault.

I started to lean the door so they wouldn't see me but not close it completely because then-

Click.

I paused, I closed the vault, and I couldn't open it. Frag. It was dark too. Luckily I had some left over glow sticks! I started to snap them, that was rather hard, I barely had enough room to move.

Then I heard ped steps.

"She probably just had some Uranium." I heard Optimus mutter.

What did you do? I asked her.

Have them look down a toilet- did I buy you enough time? Egg asked.

Yup, I locked myself in the weapons vault, it's a bit dark. I added. But I have glow sticks.

Good. Have fun! Eggy said.

I will.

"It's just worrying." Ultra Magnus said as I heard the door close. "How did you get Quillux of your back?"

"He was understanding- you drive." Optimus said.

"No sulking?"

"Not as much as I expected." Optimus mumbled. "You and Predaking-"

"Platonic- We have a platonic relationship." Magnus argued.

"I was not accusing."

"Sorry, Smokescreen and Bumblebee- I've been having to defend myself from their accusations." Magnus explained, "Put on your seat strap."

"I am alright." Optimus said. Ohh, he's being reckless!

"When we fly through a asteroid field, you won't be, put it on." Manus shot back.

"I am fine-"

"I'm not taking off untill you follow health and safety regulations." Magnus put his ped down. Optimus let out some grumbles and I heard a click. "Good." Magnus huffed and the engines started.

They're taking off and they have no idea! I told Egg.

Sneak 100 eh? Egg giggled.

"Music?" Magnus asked as they started flying.

"Sure-"

Loud, shrieking, Tarnian, heavy metal music followed. It was promptly turned off. "Sorry, Predakings' been playing around with it." Magnus said. "And probably Darksteel too." He added.

"I do not mind it, as long as you turn the volume down a bit." Optimus muttered.

But Ultra Magnus just changed it to some instrumental music. It was decent.

"Pre war?" Optimus asked.

"Yes."

"Hm."

"You don't like it?"

"No, it is good." Optimus said.

How far in space where we? I really wanted them to let me out- but they might just fly me right back if we weren't far off.

Where are you? Meg asked.

Where are you? I asked back.

Medbay.

I'm in my berthroom. I lied.

Liar. Meg accused.

Excuse me?

I'm at your berthroom. He said.

You lied! I argued.

Only to catch you lying! He shot back, a little annoyed.

I'll tell you in... at least an hour? I suggested.

Better than nothing I suppose. Meg muttered and left it at that.
