Beast Wars Prime

Landing of the Light

Ah, we meet again. I'm sorry for the delay for this chapter. The main reason for it was I was doing research on every bot and con I wanted to use in this story. Unfortunately, I fell down several metaphoric rabbit holes in deciding which versions of what characters to use, making it worse. That said, I hope you enjoy the chapter and hope it was worth the wait. As a side note. It has been nearly twenty years since I last saw a psychologist. I cannot guarantee the therapy sessions I write will be anywhere close to accurate.

Megatron nodded as the last of the new Decepticons disembarked from Astrotrain. The moment the last one was clear, the triple changer transformed back into his bot mode. "Eleven Decepticons, as ordered." He said with a metallic echo to his voice.

"Excellent." He replied. "Decepticons, welcome aboard the Nemesis. As you are no doubt aware, this pitiful backwater world is fated to be the battleground for the final conflict of our war. When the time comes, I expect you all to fight admirably, to the bitter end."

A purple and beige Decepticon with a blue face stepped forward. "You needn't vorry lord Megatron." He started before his face spun to a red one with an orange visor and pronounced chin. "When you say charge, vee ask 'how hard!" The face spun again to what looked like a demented black jack-o-lantern. "And zen vee can do arts and crafts with zee spare parts." He finished with an insane giggle, maintaining a German accent through all three faces.

Megatron repressed a twitch in his left optic. As much as he appreciated Shockwaves' work, he'd definitely gone a little overboard when modifying Blitzwing. He never believed the scientists' claims that he was like that before the experimentation. "Indeed Blitzwing, but for now, refuel and see Starscream for your assignments."

A behemoth purple and aqua Decepticon with a singular red optic knelt before Megatron. "It shall be done in your glorious name, and it is good to be back under your direct command Lord Megatron." Lugnut proclaimed before rising and following the others.

Megatron grinned. After all the backstabbing that had been going on lately, having Lugnut around would both be a blast of fresh ventilation and a deterrent to anymore attempts to usurp his command. He was broken out of his reverie by Soundwaves' entrance. "What is it Soundwave?" He asked.

Soundwave simply tuned his mask to a communications channel, Galavars' face appearing on the screen. "Ah, Lord Megatron." He began in his usually oily voice. "We are ready to enter the planets orbit, but we have discovered an Autobot ship attempting to do the same." He grumbled. "Would you like us to attack? The ship is too large for us to destroy, no, but with the mayhem attack squad onboard, I believe we can ensure a crash landing with casualties, yes."

Megatron narrowed his optics. "Do what you must Galavar. If Optimus Prime has called reinforcements, then it is in our best interest that he not get them." With any luck, the squad would kill most of the bots on board with the crash finishing off all but a few of them.

"It shall be done lord Megatron, yes." With that Galavar disconnected.

Laying back on Rungs' psychiatrist couch Miko stared at the ceiling and sighed. "Sorry doctor, I got no idea how to start this." She'd never been to a shrink; her parents couldn't accept that their daughter might be anything less than perfect.

She'd been surprised that her appointment with the Autobot psychologist had been moved up. Then again, maybe she shouldn't be. Jack and nurse Darby had been worried about her after the debacle with Doubledealer, and she suspected that one or both of them requested it. She knew Jack had originally been next on Rungs' list.

Rung gave a smile. "No problem Miko, can I call you Miko?" At her nod he continued. "How about this, how have you been feeling about your new body?"

Smiling, Miko sat up and looked at him. "Honestly, I love it." She looked down at her hands and flexed her fingers. "I can't remember the last time I felt this happy."
