Chapter 17

This thing that Bumblebee called "Ravage" was now chasing me through the desert and I had absolutely no idea what to do.

It felt like it was moving slower than me on purpose, to play with its food.

This went on for minutes until two sports cars drove over to me and attacked Ravage after turning into their fighting mode.

They ripped the metal jaguar apart and asked me if I was alright.

Y/N: Yeah, thanks to you guys. But Bumblebee and Arcee need help, they're somewhere over there, close to a cave.

"We need to bring them back to Optimus, immediately."

Y/N: Why? What happened?

"Nothing that should worry you, boy."

Y/N: Wait, you guys sounded kinda shady when you said that you need to "bring him back to Optimus". What are-

"Are you going to be quiet, boy?"

"Or do we have to shut you up for good?"

Y/N: But...you're Autobots? You're the good guys.

They both broke out in laughter before one of them aimed his hand cannon at me.

"But we are still Cybertronians, and we're not very fond of you pathetic humans."

Y/N: You are cooperating with us!

"And at the same time you humans are also cooperating with the Decepticons, what a great position to have. Jumping from one faction to the next."

His hand cannon lit up in a bright blue color.

Y/N: Wait guys, let's not-

The sound of an aggressive engine and metal clanking against itself echoed through the night as a black robot jumped at them from behind me.

He kicked one of them in the leg, making it break and punched the other Autobot's jaw off.

Both of them were crawling on the ground and begging for mercy but the black robot just chuckled.

That's when I realized who that was, it was Barricade, Mark's car.

I knew that I was right once I saw Mark inside Barricade's left hand.

Y/N: Mark!

Mark: Look at what you've gotten yourself into, little brother.

He said annoyed as Barricade let him down on the ground again.

Y/N: Mark, there's pure fucking chaos over there. Everything explodes and dies!

Mark: Why are you here then? You were supposed to stay in your cell and be safe.

Y/N: The Autobots freed me.

Mark: And flew you all the way back here as I see.

Y/N: Yeah, but now I kinda regret that.

Mark: Listen very closely, we're gonna bring you to a safe place, okay? And you will stay there this time, got it?

He asked sternly while Barricade was executing the two Autobots in the background.

Y/N: Mark, my car, Bumblebee, he's badly injured. I can't leave him out here.

Mark: You can, and you will, because that thing is not your car, okay? It's an alien terrorist.

Y/N: So is that guy not your car as well?

I asked as I pointed to Barricade who has already turned back into his vehicle form.

Mark: He's not, he's my partner.

Y/N: Would you leave your partner to die?

Mark: No. I would not.

Y/N: Me neither, that's why I have to return to Bumblebee.

Mark: Their guys will find them, you should get to safety.

Y/N: You're seriously asking me to leave him behind?

Mark: Y/N, get in the car and don't make this harder than it has to be. Those guys you call partners were a second away from blasting you with their fancy hand cannons, so get in, now!

He did have a point, and I know that he only wants the best for me, so I gave in and got into the car with him.

Mark: Barricade, bring us out of here, please.

Barricade: Understood.

Megatron POV

Megatron: Master, you know that I never run away from a fight, but it might be the best for us to retreat.

I proposed as we were standing on top of my ship once again, while being surrounded by explosions and shots from all sides.

Fallen: We have one shot at this, Megatron. There are plenty of other sun harvesters around here, I know the location of every single one of them.

Starscream landed next to me and spoke up.

Starscream: I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, master, but Soundwave has fallen.

Megatron: What?! How did that happen?!

Starscream: He was killed by one of our own.

Megatron: Who?

I asked full of rage, ready to tear the traitor's head off.

Starscream: It was Straxus, but Ravage killed him, Soundwave can rest easy now, knowing that he was avenged immediately.

Megatron: With Soundwave gone, we will have a massive shortage of information about the Autobot's locations and their movement. This will make attacking them so much harder.

Fallen: I do not care if your informant has died. We must bring this to an end.

Megatron: Starscream, attack the Autobots from the sky and give us cover fire. Do not let them harm our master and act as a distraction if necessary.

Starscream: Of course, master.

He responded shortly before turning into a jet and flying off to the side, right back into battle.

Megatron: With Starscream covering us, we have a good shot of doing what we came here for.

Fallen: Then let's not waste more time, because I'm slowly running out of patience and if I do, it will end very badly for you and your army.

The ship was shaken and slightly tilted to the side.

Megatron: I will have to tell them to get my ship back to safety.

Fallen: No, you will not.

Megatron: It cannot take much more damage.

Fallen: And how are we supposed to go back home without your ship, you genius?

He used the back of his hand to slap me across the face, which fueled my anger, but I knew I wasn't allowed to retaliate or there would be dire consequences.

Megatron: We won't ever return home if my ship gets destroyed here.

Fallen: And we will be left in the middle of a battlefield, outnumbered against a bloodthirsty Autobot Army if you call off your ship!

A claw attached itself to the Allspark in my hand and snatched it right of my hand.

Megatron: What the-

Fallen: They're on the ship! Attack!
