Megatron's twin

163: Betrayal

I found her easily enough, as soon as I opened the doors to the mess hall, dozens of Vehicon swarmed out, with the occasional Insecticon.

Airachnid was there too, watching with mild amusement beside Starscream.

Egg was at the centre, caressing a table. She's totally high. "Eggy." I started.

"Yee?" She asked. "I'm a dragon!" She added.

"Yea." I drawled as the other two looked at me in question. "She swapped frames with Predaking." I said.

"With the orb?" The Spider asked while Starscream rolled his optics.

"How else." He scowled.

"Come one Egg." I started and she got up. She couldn't walk in a straight line so I help her out. "Want me to hold onto that for you?" I asked, spotting the orb in her servo.

"Whhhhy?" She drawled.

"You're a bit tipsy and I well, I wanna try out one of the Pred's frame's too." I said and she handed it over.

I broke out of the cupboard! Predaking started excitedly. Yea, I'm in your berthroom. He added.

Okay, stay there, we're coming. I said as I started walking with a weird as Chicken. After a longer than usual walk, we made it to my berthroom.

"Eh?" She asked.

"Oh come on, you clearly need to sleep it off." I argued and pushed her in as the door opened, rolling the orb in after and closing the door.

"Eh?" She asked and then there was silence.

I waited half a minute before I opened the door. Predaking's frame stumbled out, he blinked. "Thank you?" He suggested, clearly having to deal with the side effects of Egg's excessive drinking.

Once he left, I dared to peek in. Egg was sitting on the floor, with one foot threateningly resting on the orb.

"Don't you dare-"

She dared.

Next thing I know, I'm in the frame of a chicken. "Brkk?" I asked as I stared up at my frame. "If you kill me-"

"Oh don't worry." Egg started with a grin, then frowned, "Argh, I feel sick."

"Side effect of a faulty spark, gee, gravity doesn't normally feel this strong." I grumbled. "No drinking Meg's nightmare fuel, no taking Uranium-"

She snorted, "What makes you think I'll follow those rules.

"Maybe you don't want to have a spark failure?" I suggested.

Egg blinked, "Argh, I choose the worst frame to swap with." She grumbled, "I'm gonna try out your alt mode." She snorted and left.

Bloody traitor, playing me like that. Then again, I did swap her back without her consent. Oh well, off to find Optimus and exercise my fire breathing.

I hid the orb under the berth and headed out. My walking- or waddling, must look ridiculous. I held out my wings as I waddled and that seemed to help. Then I stumbled upon Starscream, he glared, I glared back and that was that.

Bloody hell, life was kind of easily as a chicky. Just glare at bots and they leave you alone.

"Sweetspark!" A voice from behind came and I turned, it was Laserbeak. He nuzzled into my side as well as a paper airplane could. "Goldie's doing okay! He stood up for at least three seconds!"

"Three seconds!" I gasped.

"Three seconds!" Laserbeak cheered back.

"That's great!"

Laserbeak was silent for a bit, "Could be better." He grumbled, "But three whole seconds of standing up! I'm so proud- you should have seen him!" Laserbeak went on as Soundwave walked up. He picked me up.

Okay, this is weird. Never thought Soundwave would be holding me, but here we are. "Sup." I said as Soundwave payed a recording of Gold standing for three seconds. Was more like two and a half seconds, but great non the less.

"Nice." I said, "You're gonna have to tell Egg though." I told him and he tilted his helm in confusion. "She swapped frames with me." I clarified.

I heard Laserbeak gag.

"Noted, who?" Soundwave asked.

"With me?" I suggested.

"Who is 'me'?" He patched together.

"Quillux." I said and I think Laserbeak gagged again. Soundwave put me down, "Thanks. Do you know where Optimus is?" I asked. Soundwave displayed the command room, "Okay, toodles!" I bade and waddled off.

"I kissed him!" Laserbeak started in dismay. When did he kiss me? Must have been a abstract kiss.

It takes damn longer than I imagined to get to the command unit, but I made it there eventually. I spotted Optimus and Megatron arguing in the corner while Ultra Magnus watched with the Allspark.

"Sup." I started as I walked up to them. Optimus picked me up. Yeessss, I likely.

"Give me her-" Megatron started and tried to grab me.

"She-" Optimus started as Megatron got a servo on me.

"Ark!" I grunted as he wrenched me out of his servos. Optimus snatched me back, "Argk?" I asked. They went back and forth a few times but eventually they where holding me, one servo each. "You guys are weird." I clucked. "You're both holding servos?" I asked teasingly.

They both pulled away their servos and I plummeted to the floor. I shrieked.

"Sorry!" They both started as I huffed. Then their attention was taken away by Egg, who was preforming stunts in front of the window.

"Show off." I grumbled and winced as the engines of my alt spluttered. "So, you guys arguing about the Allspark?" I asked.

"We are trying to decide who returns it to Cybertron's core." Optimus said, "Megatron only wants to do it for political gain-" Optimus started.

"I do not!" Megatron shot back.

Political gain-? Ah.

"Have Alpha Trion stick it in, he's kinda neutral." I suggested.

"He's an Autobot-" Megatron started as Optimus pinched his non existent nose bridge.

"Then go down Primus' valve together-" I started.

"Primus' valve?" Megatron asked in question.

"Yea?"

"How is it Primus', you know?" Optimus asked.

"Err, the well of Allsparks is a big hole in Cybertron. Cybertron is Primus and last I checked, living things give birth to living things through their-" I started.

"Okay." Megatron nodded.
