Chapter 18

Megatron POV

Megatron: Prime...

I hissed, staring at Optimus who had the cube in his hand.

Megatron: I see you have a new toy. Who gave you that grappling hook?

Prime: It doesn't matter. What matters now is your surrender.

Megatron: We will never surrender!

I yelled in anger, extending my battle blade.

Prime: Don't come any closer, Megatron, or I will use the cube to turn you into ashes.

Megatron: Oh...now I see. You don't want the cube to restore Cybertron, you want the cube to destroy me.

Prime: Not if you surrender.

Megatron: And what will happen then? We both know you don't want to restore Cybertron, so there is no need for this talk.

Prime: If that's so.

Prime suddenly charged at me, ready to use the cube as a weapon.

The Fallen used his staff to push me forward, right towards Prime who had the cube ready to ram it into my chest.

Megatron: No!

Time slowed down as I watched the cube getting closer to my body, not being able to dodge or to block the attack.

The Allspark is going to take my life and-

Something rammed me from the side and dragged me away from Prime at high speed.

The last thing I saw before I disappeared out of sight was Prime ramming the cube into the Fallen's chest, who then let out a roar of pain and defeat.

Megatron: Master! No!

I looked down hopeless and defeated before looking up at the thing which was carrying me.

Megatron: Who are you?

"Soundwave."

Megatron: This can't be, Starscream said you died.

He dropped me on a rooftop and transformed into his true form before jumping down right next to me.

I tilted my head, trying to find out if it was really him or not.

Megatron: Is that really you? You are acting just like Soundwave but you look entirely different.

His face, which was a black screen, suddenly lit up and showed me footage of the real Soundwave being killed by Straxus ramming his Pickaxe into the back of his head.

Megatron: If you claim to be Soundwave, who was that?

I asked, pointing at the screen which was his face.

Soundwave: Clone.

Megatron: You had clones?

He nodded.

Megatron: You created clones of yourself?

He shook his head.

Soundwave: Shockwave.

Megatron: Is that so? How many other secrets are you two keeping from me, Soundwave?

Soundwave: Many.

Megatron: So I thought. Well, I'm glad to see you alive, but we lost the most important battle of our lives. And now, my ship will be destroyed because it's in the middle of a damn battlefield.

Soundwave: Your ship is safe.

He showed me footage of the ship using all of its afterburners to get away from the scene.
