Illusion has been stuck on the Nemesis for a week. A fucking week. KnockOut said that she isn't healed completely and has to rest, and Lord Megatron forbade her to go on any missions. She's been stuck on the Nemesis, bored out of her mind. "《I hate everything.》" She heard loud knocking at her door. She was about to open it, but it got kicked down. "《What the fuck!?》" Illusion glares at Breakdown as he smiled nervously. "How ya doing?" KnockOut moved past his sparkmate to greet Illusion. "《Just great. Like, I've always wanted Breakdown to break my door.》" "Good cause that was my idea." Illusion snap her helm towards StarScream as he entered the room. "/He's kinda telling the truth, but visiting you was my idea./" How much did Illusion hate these Decepticons. "《Did KnockOut tagged along?》" "No, just need to check your health." Illusion sat in her berth as the Decepticons around her began to bother her with questions and rumors. "There's this rumor that Megatron has a thing for you." "/that's old, some vehicons are saying that you were his second in command before StarScream./" "Can you guys give her some space?" Illusion doesn't move from her berth, probably wanting another nap. "There's a rumor that you were a gladiators once." Illusion stood up, looking at StarScream. "It's true!" Illusion smacks herself, realizing she got caught. "/You were a gladiator like lord Megatron?/" Illusion winced at the name. She nods her head as she looks into her tablet. "《There are still videos of my gladiator fights. My name became known when I defeated Megatron.》" "MEGATRON!?" Illusion covers her audio receptors due to the loud shouting. "《SO?》" StarScream spoke up, explaining how it's impossible for her to beat Megatron. "It's just not possible..." Illusion rolls her optics as she gives the screen to him. "《Here's the video. Now shut up, will you?》" The three Decepticons watched the video as Illusion took her much needed nap. She woke up when they were finishing the video. "Oh my primus! She actually beat him!" KnockOut was staring at the screen as Soundwave and StarScream were cheering. "/this is awesome! Who knew Illusion was a great fighter./" The three must not have noticed her awake. "But I don't remember this being aired." StarScream points out. "Me neither. Did they wipe it out?" Soundwave checked through the database to find out. "/It didn't aired because they didn't believe a female gladiator can defeat a male gladiator. Plus, they weren't really respected.../" Illusion sat in silence, remember the discrimination she faced when becoming the first female gladiator, and when she defeated Megatron. "Look. I found more recordings of her fight!" KnockOut pressed on another video as the rest watched in silence. Illusion just sat there listening to their cheers over her fights. "/I wonder if Lord Megatron ever tried getting a rematch with her...?/" The others shrugged as they continue watching with excitement. The doors open quietly, revealing Shockwave entering the room. He almost dropped his tablet, seeing the three Decepticons watching something. Illusion puts a digit over her mask, signaling him to be quiet. Shockwave walked behind the unsuspecting decepticons to give Illusion the tablet. "Lord Megatron thought you might want to look through these" Illusion takes the tablet curiously, wondering what it was. She turns it on and it was a fucking message. "What does it say?" Shockwave asked curiously. "《This egotistical motherfucker...》" She walks past Shockwave, slamming the door that then falls to the floor. "/ When did you come here, Shockwave?/"
Illusion threw the tablet at Megatron, hitting his face. "What the hell!?" Megatron glares at her. "《What do you mean!? Read your own goddamn message!》" Megatron looks at the screen and snorts. "Well, it got you out of your room, didn't it?" Illusion huffs, crossing her arms. "《I thought you forbade me from going on anymore missions.》" Soundwave, KnockOut, and StarScream were eavesdropping from the door, wondering what they're saying. "Anyway, don't take the message personal. It was a joke." "《A bad joke.》" Megatron clears his throat. "Anyway, I'm willing to let you go on more missions if -" Illusion looks at him curiously. "You become my second in command again..." StarScream was about to yell, but his mouth was covered by his friends. "《No. StarScream is doing a great job in being a commander.》" Megatron rolls his optics. "He's been trying to overthrow me for some time now." Illusion snorts a bit. "Funny to you, isn't it!?" He growled under his breath. "《You should of seen it coming idiot.》" "I am not an idiot." Illusion continued calling his an idiot as Megatron yelled at her. "/they're fighting like little sparklings.../" Soundwave whispered. "ILLUSION! AS LONG AS YOU LIVE IN MY SHIP, YOU WILL OBEY ME AS YOUR OLDER BROTHER!"
...
"《....idiot.》" Illusion glares at him. "《Consider yourself lucky nobody heard your stupid yelling. You almost slipped up.》" Megatron sighs heavily, trying to calm himself down. "Yeah, yeah. Just think of my offer, understood..." Illusion shrugs as she began walking towards the door. She looks at the hall, seeing no one around. She walks away, atleast far enough not to hear StarScream sneezes. "Remind me again why we're on the ceiling being held by Soundwave?" They all get down as they begin talking among themselves. "/so they are siblings. That's something you never hear everyday./" They all began to panic, realizing the secret they've discovered. "Now what? If Illusion found out, well be dead like those gladiators in the video." KnockOut panicked around as StarScream tried calming him down. "/calm down idiot./" "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE CALM!? I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT'S PANICKING!!!" "/can't you see I'm also panicking?/" StarScream snorts a bit as KnockOut yells at him. "Don't treat this like a joke!" "《What joke?》" They all turn around to see Illusion at the door. "/ um - nothing important.../" Illusion crosses her arms, clearly not buying the lie. "We uh-" "WE WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND!" Everyone looks at KnockOut confused.
"《....what?》"
