9: Betrayal

''Are you sure of this my lord?'' Ultra Magnus asked him. 

''This is the only way to kill them, plant the bombs Wheeljack.'' Optimus said to the wrecker. 

''Yes my lord.'' Wheeljack said bowing and leaving. 

''We will kill them all.'' Optimus said softly with a dangerous glow in his optics. 

With Megatron

''Let's do this.'' Megatron says as Bumblebee and Smokescreen ready their weapons. 

''What are you doing here Autobots?'' Airachnid asks as they all suround the three Autobots. 

''Tying up loose ends.'' Smokescreen says with a smirk, then the bombs Wheeljack planted explode. 

:; What is happening?;: Bumblebee asks suprised as the cave collapses. 

''A trap, take cover!'' Megatron shouted and then they collapsed under the rocks. 

A hour later 

''Is everyone alright?'' Starscream asked his team, then he heard something. 

''I'm coming, hang on!'' He shouted hoping he could save the person, he dug using his claws and discovered Megatron heavily wounded. Under Megatron lay Soundwave, less wounded thanks to Megatron taking most of the rocks. 

''Hold on, I'll get you both out of there.'' Starscream says and he tries to remove the rock. 

''It was a trap, we were planning to get you all killed by convincing you I was mind controlled. I guess Optimus planted the bombs to make sure everyone died, I should have never agreed with his plan.'' Megatron explained their plan. 

''It's too late for regrets, but not too late for change.'' Starscream said. 

''Could you please - get him off me?'' Soundwave asks. 

''Right, sorry Soundwave.'' Starscream says and he removes the rocks, after helping Megatron and Soundwave stand they decide to make a plan. 

''First we are going to find the others, then we will work together to get out of here.'' Starscream says with confidence. 

''What are we waiting for then?'' Megatron says as he walks in a direction. 

''Where are you going?'' Soundwave asks. 

''This is where they are, I can hear them.'' Megatron says as he continues. 

''How would you know?'' Starscream asks suprised, then they hear Knockout calling for help. 

''Someone, h-help us.'' He says. 

''That must be Knockout and Breakdown, quickly let's get them out.''  Starscream says and they start digging, after some time they find Breakdown and Knockout. Breakdown heavily wounded. 

''Quickly, get him out of here.'' Knockout says as soon as he sees them. 

''On it.'' Megatron says as he lifts Breakdown of off Knockout, while Starscream, Knockout and Soundwave (not really) looked at him suprised. Knockout quickly stands and tends to Breakdown's wounds. 

''He wil survive, he just has to take it easy.'' He reports. 

''Okay, could you check on Megatron? He was also crushed by rocks.'' Starscream asks the medic. 

''He will be okay.'' Knockout says without even looking at him. 

''I know that you don't like Autobots but-'' Starscream starts before he gets cut off by Knockout. 

''I mean that I already saw the damage and concluded that he will be fine.'' He explains.

''When?'' The seeker asks suprised. 

''When he lifted Breakdown off me.'' The racer says with a smile. 

''How did you see it then?!'' Starscream asks suprised, then they hear Smokescreen call for help. 

''Someone help us please!'' He says. 

''Us?'' Soundwave asks through the recording of Smokescreen. 

''Bumblebee is probably with him, let's hurry.'' Megatron says and they head to the place from where the sound is coming, they quickly start digging from where the sound is coming. Starscream using his claws, Soundwave using his tentacles, Knockout using his drill, Breakdown with his hammer and Megatron with his claws as well. They quickly find Smokescreen and Bumblebee stuck under the rocks. 

:; Never thought a Decepticon would save me ;: Bumblebee says relieved that they found them. 

''It's what we do.'' Breakdown says as he and Megatron help them stand. 

''Now to find the rest.'' Knockout says as he looks at the massive cave.
