A Kingdom Apart (TFA Megop/blitzbee Fic)

a battle of love

Chapter 12

It has been a few days since Ratchet and Bumblebee helped the Decepticons. Bee had spent the whole time in his room, visiting Blitzwing, and checking in with Optimus. So when he got the okay from Optimus he wanted no time setting the final staged of the plan in action.

Ratchet had spent the whole day in the medical room, but he hadn't gotten much work done. He couldn't get the doubt of his actions off his processor.

Was this the right choice?
Is going with them rather then face his actions the right choice?
Will the Decepticons just kill him once they get out?

Try as Ratchet might, he couldn't get his mind to settle.

When will it be to late?
When will it finally be enough?
When does this comet become a meteor?
When does the spark become a blaze?
When does a bot become a monster?
When does the ripple become a tidal wave?
When does the reason become the blame?
Will he become a monster?
When everything settles, will there just be shattered glass?

He was pulled from his thought by an alarm sounding. "I suppose it is to late to be rethinking what I've done now..." Ratchet stood up. "Let's go find Bumblebee." Ratchet hadn't forgotten to look for yellow and black instead of blue and orange.

He walked out the door and started towards the commotion. As he ran he was dodging blaster fire. Ratchet had just reached the cells when he suddenly felt somebot grab him. "Hey! Let me go!!" Ratchet almost used his emp on the bot when he realized who it was. "Blitzwing?!" He saw that Bumblebee was standing on Blitzwings shoulder. "See, I told you Blitz wouldn't want to leave you." Bumblebee chuckled, Ratchet sighed. "I aught to smack you. You scared me half to death." "No time! Ve must go!" Blitzwing yelled as he ran down the hall. "I'm going to get jou two to safety. Zhen I have to help Megatron." "No way! I'm helping you." Bumblebee replied. "I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm not going to sit this out either." Ratchet added. Blitzwing wanted to protest, but since even Ratchet didn't want to sit it out he said. "Fine but I'm going to stay vith both of jou." "Deal." Bumblebee said as he loaded his blaster. Blitzwing swiftly turned around and headed back towars where Megatron was.

"Men, we must divide and conquer. We take prisoner, not killing unless absolutely necessary!" Megatron yelled over the coms as he made his way towards the throne room with Optimus by his side. "What are you going to do with ultra Magnus?" Megatron sighed. "I honestly don't know Optimus... I want him dead but l don't want to be hypocritical." Optimus wanted to offer him some advice, but he didn't know what to do either. Just then Blitzwing along with Starscream ran up from behind them. Optimus saw that Bumblebee aswell
as Ratchet were standing on Blitzwings shoulder plates. "What's Ratchet doing here?" Megatron asked. "He vants to help us." Megatron thought for a second then said. "You have my respect, medic." At that point they had reached the doors of the throne room. Megatron opened the door, to his surprise he didn't see anyone sitting on the throne. "What? Where is he?" Bumblebee chuckled. "He probably ditched as soon as he heard the alarm." Megatron walked into the room. Then suddenly he was struck from behind. He fell to the floor, unconscious. Ultra Magnus stood over him. He was about to strike him again when Optimus ran up and stopped him. "Don't you dare!" Ultra Magnus was a bit confused. But before he spoke he saw the other starting to enter the room. He ran and blocked the door. "Sorry Decepticons, this room is off limits." He slammed the door and locked it. The door was heavy duty, so he knew he have plenty of time to get rid of Megatron. He turned back to Optimus. "Now, why are you protecting him?" Optimus pulled out the sword he had snatched from one of the other knights. "Well, for starters he didn't sell me to a stranger." Ultra Magnus grabbed his hammer from his back. "Optimus, you must understand that I was simply trying to end this war." Optimus rolled his optics. "Ah, yes, attacking the Decepticons, after a truce was made, is ending a war." Ultra Magnus raised his hammer, then brought it down intfront of Optimus. "I'm giving you one chance to end this now and finally be rid of Megatron." Optimus didn't even consider the offer. "No thanks." Ultra Magnus picked his hammer back up. "Very well." In a swift motion he swung his hammer, it made contact with Optimus and launched him into the wall. Optimus fell forward. He took a second on the ground then looked up, he saw ultra Magnus had his hammer lifted above Megatron. In seconds Optimus was up and running towards Magnus. "Stay away from him!" Optimus swung his sword,
landing a cut on ultra Magnuses arm. He jumped back and grabbed it. "Hhnn-" Optimus stood infront of Megatron, blocking him from Magnus. The prime ran at him, preparing to strike. Magnus acted quickly, picking up his hammer, hitting Optimuses sword just before it struck. His sword was shattered within second because of how it had been struck. Optimus fell backwards, surprised. He stood back up and looked around for another weapon. His optics fell on Megatron. He had two quite large swords on his back, because before coming here they had stopped at where the autobots stored the Decepticons weapons. Optimus ran up to him and grabbed one. It was a quite heavy weapon, so it took him a second to get it. Optimus lifted it's tip into the air. "Cool." He admired the weapon. Then quickly remembered he was in the middle of a battle. He saw that ultra Magnus was making a dash for him. The prime quickly ran to meet him, he lifted the sword into the air and swung first. This time, because of the larger weapon, Optimus sliced ultra Magnus left servo clean off. Magnus stumbled backwards, letting out a shout of pain. Optimus ran at him again swinging a second time, and landing a pretty good sized cut on ultra Magnuses chest plate. He fell backwards, holding onto his chest with his remaining arm. Optimus stood above him. "Not as weak as you always said, am I?" "I just- I-" Ultra Magnus tried to speak. "Don't, it's not worth the wasted breath to listen to you." Optimus sighed. "I'm going to take Megatron, I'm going to go to the Decepticon castle, and I'm going to live the rest of my life there, never worrying about you again." The prime turned away. "Goodbye father." Optimus walked over to Megatron and, with a bit of struggle, picked him up. He turned and started towards the door, dragging Megatrons stabilizing servos behind him. As he got close he heard the other banging on the door. Optimus unlocked it. "Hey guys." Starscream quickly ran to relieve Optimus of Megatrons unconscious body. As Starscream moved him he saw the extremely large gash on his back. "Are you-?" before Starscream could finish Optimus fell forward. Just before he hit the ground Ratchet rushed and caught him. "Geez kid." Ratchet was surprised just how much damage he had acquired. Now the group had two unconscious bots and an almost dead king. Starscream saw that Lugnut was rushing towards them. "Hey Lugnut! Get him for me!" He reached them and Starscream handed Megatron to him. Starscream then turned and walked towards ultra Magnus who was still laying of the floor, bleeding out. "Megatron would have taken you prisoner, and probably promised to treat you well. However I make no such promise." He lined the blaster on his arm directly with ultra Magnuses helm. "Bang." A shot could be heard throughout the castle.
