Maybe Meant To Be

~Chapter 26~

"Will Knockout be alright?" I asked Soundwave, who was, as usual, silently walking besides me.
"He'll be... Fine."
"... Are you sure? Or is this another coverup or something?"
"..."
"Soundwave? Why does Megatron hate Optimus so much?"
"..."

Figures he wouldn't say anything...

"Enemies... Wrong... Idea... Don't think... Same..."

That was the only thing Soundwave said though, with a mixture of different recordings. But it was enough for me. Optimus and Megatron just don't think the same... And they don't try to think the same either. But... Something must've happened... They did use to get along. Except that was so long ago it seems...

We got to my room, and I stepped inside, looking back at Soundwave.
"Thanks Soundwave. And thank you for always being there for both me, and Megatron."

I received a silent nod of the slender mech's helm, before my berthroom's door closed. I think it's time for me to take flight on my own. I've decided it's time for me to act. I need to get out... But not yet... Maybe I can convince Knockout to come with me.

"You should be glad that I've decided to show mercy... For now. But don't let it happen again Knockout. Or else."
"Yes, my liege..."
"Now leave. And go do your medical rounds or something won't you?"

.
.
.

"I need to leave."
"What?! After everything that your brother has told you, you're just going to leave?!"
"I'm sorry... I just... I need that little taste of freedom. Y'know? I just... I can't stay here anymore! ... You could come with me. We could stay together! And then you can see how kind and sweet Optimus really is!"
"Y/D... You still don't understand. They would never wholeheartedly accept a Decepticon like me. ... You always have been innocent that way. Look, you can go. Don't worry about me. We... We'll always be best friends, but I just can't go with you. But please... Stay safe. And know you can always come back if you ever need, or even want to."

I suddenly gave Knockout a hug, feeling my optics fill with lubricant.
"Thank you so much for everything Knockout... Maybe we can... Try and meet up?"
"... That would be nice... But don't be expecting anything for sure, ok?"
"Alright... We can at least comm each other, right?"
"Of course... When do you leave?"
"... Tomorrow..."
"... Well then, I uh... Need to go do my rounds. I'll try and see you off tomorrow, alright?"

The whole night, I couldn't go to recharge. I was busy thinking about if I should really be doing this. But it only felt right... I'm still needing answers. I've got some, but not all. What started this war? Who's actually the wrong one? Am I supposed to choose sides? Would I be able to if given the choice? ... Is me leaving the only family I know, making said choice?

But not to worry... I wasn't the only one up all night.

(Megatron's POV)

I can't stop her... My only sister... My only family... Gone. Leaving me... Should I stop her? ... Of all the people she had to fall in love with... My sole enemy... Optimus Prime.

I tossed and turned in my berth, but I still couldn't recharge. I was stuck staring at the dark ceiling.

This just gives me all the more reason to destroy Prime. He's taken away... My everything. Y/D is the only one who could keep me sane... She's not even gone yet, but I already feel... Spark broken. How could she choose another mech over her own brother?

(Y/D's POV)

It's morning... Time to go. I quickly said goodbye to Knockout, and soon was flying off the flight deck of the ship. And I didn't know at the time, but Megatron was searching for me. But by the time he found out where I could be, I was gone.

Now standing in the field, I waited for my ground bridge. I only had to wait a few seconds when the bluish-green portal opened up, and out came Bumblebee.

:- Hey Y/D! I'm here to escort you back! -:
"Hey Bumblebee! And Okie dokie!"

I followed Bumblebee through the bridge with my few belongings, and once there, I was greeted with the sight of the bots. Along with a new bot I've never seen before.

"Hello Y/D. Welcome back. We've a new recruit with us. Autobot wrecker: Wheeljack."
"Hey, Sweetspark. Nice to meet your acquaintance." He said with a wink and a teasing smirk on his dermas.

I chuckled a bit and gave a wave with a cheerful smile.
"Nice to meet ya Wheeljack!"

And so began a new part of my life. A new chapter. A new home. A new family.

.

So I had no other idea on how to introduce Wheeljack so... I'm trying to get more into the later season(s) of the show lol

And no, don't worry, this story won't end for a while. Especially with the rate I've been getting chapters out. And as I said, I'm not about to let this book just die. So, let's hope I keep my motivation to write-

But anyways, hope you enjoyed this, and hope y'all have a good day/night!
