Megatron's twin

162: A little Eggtra

Ultra Magnus was silently seething for the rest of the trip. And Egg was giving me the silent treatment for some reason.

"24 degrees right." Optimus instructed and Magnus turned the ship accordingly. "It's somewhere in this field." Optimus said as we stared out at yet another asteroid field.

"Lovely." I mumbled bitterly. "Can I come?" I asked as Optimus got up.

"No, Magnus-" Optimus started as I stood up.

"Got it." He said and grabbed my arm.

"Hey!" I started and tried to pull away, then noticed my spark go a little funky. "Fine." I grumbled and sat back down. "Come back alive." I said as I drank some sparky stuff.

"How else would I come back?" Optimus snorted.

"Come back alive and intact." I corrected.

"Will do." He said and exited the ship.

Then I noticed Magnus' sour expression, "What?" I asked.

"Nothing." He mumbled as we watched Optimus roley-poley through space, he looked dizzy.

Help. Egg started.

Hm?

I'm a chicken. She pointed out.

Really? I had no idea. I joked.

I'm not supposed- a chicken. She explained, odd.

Maybe you're not supposed to take as much uranium. I pointed out.

So weird. She mumbled. She stole my frame! Egg shrieked.

Erm? I asked.

She rolled the orb to me- bright light- I'm a chicken- Some one explained.

Who is this? I asked.

Predaking- He said.

Well shit, Egg was probably having the time of her life.

I'm a chicken-

You're a fire breathing chicken. I reminded.

"Why are you smirking?" Magnus asked.

"I'm having a chat with Pr- Egg." I cut myself off.

"Who is Preg?" He asked.

"Egg." I said and he nodded slowly. Look, just enjoy your temporary life as a chicken and let Egg have some fun-

She locked me in a cupboard. Predaking pointed out.

You'll figure it out. I said.

But-

Shhh, I'm busy. I cut him off and he left it at that with a huff. Meanwhile, Optimus was struggling to nudge a container back to the ship, it was painful to watch. He managed to make it back to the ship after a longer than expected struggle.

"So this is the Allspark?" I asked. "Smaller than I expected." I muttered as Optimus rolled his optics. "How do sparks even come out of that? It can fit three max-"

"Lets just say magic and leave it at that." Ultra Magnus mumbled as Optimus secured the Allspark in another chair.

"You can ask Alpha Trion for the specifics." Optimus said.

"Seat strap." Ultra Magnus reminded and pointed at the Allspark.

"It does not need a seat strap." Optimus grumbled.

I scoffed, "There's three sparks in there and you're gonna risk their lives?" I snorted as I buckled it up.

"More than three." Ultra Magnus said as he watched Optimus put on his seat strap.

"So reckless Prime." I teased and sat down next to him.

"I am not-"

"You are-"

"Am not-"

"Are too-"

Ultra Magnus called for a space bridge, clearly not keen on our bickering.

We made it back to Cybertron safely and landed on the Nemesis. Darksteel and Skylynx were there, looking mildly confused and chatting which each other. They got all exited when we walked out the ship.

"Mags! Did you find the The Spark of All?" Darksteel asked.

"It's called the Allspark." Magnus grumbled as Optimus almost dropped it.

"Is that is?" Skylynx asked.

"A bit small." Steel added.

"It's not very, 'all of sparks'." Sky noted and Steel agreed.

"Where's Preddy?" I asked.

"No clue, he was acting real weird." Steel said while Optimus glanced over at me in question, "I think he said he was going to Shockwave-"

"Okay, thanks!" I yipped and skipped off. Hopefully I can get to Egg before Megatron gets to me. (yes, he's still pissed.) I made it to Shockwave's lab and peeked in- Shockwave was extinguishing some fire.

"Ah? What happened?"

"Science." He said stiffly as some weird music played in the background.

♪The science guy!♫♪

"Okay? Where's Predaking?" I asked.

Shockwave turned to look at me, "Somewhere." He said blandly and got back to work.

I left, I didn't want to become the 'science'. Soo, what cupboard did she put you in? I asked Pred.

Oh Primus! He started.

What?

It's- a voice in my helm, it's unnerving. He explained, I think I'm in your berthroom. He said.

Coolio. I said and started making my way there. Then I walked into Meg, just my luck. He stared at me, I stared back. We had a staring competition. It got heated.

"Sup." I started.

But Megatron kept silently fuming.

"Are you going to yell at me?" I asked.

He blinked once. He blinked twice- "No." He said and turned away.

I blinked. "Why not?" I asked as I trailed him

"Because yelling at you doesn't work. Don't do that- I say, here's why, I say. And what do you do? You do it anyway!" He huffed.

"Erm?"

"You don't listen, it goes in one audio and out the other- there's no point." He ranted as he talked. "A complete disregard for your safety, utterly irresponsible- an ego on crack."

"Hey- I'm being responsible!" I argued.

"Oh, you're about to get yourself moderately drunk? Good for you." He snorted sarcastically.

"Er no, Egg swapped frames with Predaking so I'm gonna go swap them back." I said. I wasn't going to, but now I have to otherwise Megatron will swan dive into a smelting pool.

Megatron blinked and turned to me. He gave an expression he never gave me before. Maybe he was a little proud. "Oh?"

"Do you know where Predaking's frame is?" I asked.

Megatron blinked again, "Mess hall, he's on a rant." He said.

"All righty, now if you don't mind, I'm going to head off, be responsible." I said, "Optimus has the Allspark by the way, maybe be grateful?" I suggested.

Megatron let out a grumble as I walked off. Frag, Egg is going to hate me.
