Lost Spark (Megatron)

08.

Strika's face struck with horror as Optimus had shot Megatronus while his back was turned. He fell down causing Strika to fall down with him. 

"Ratchet, Groundbridge," Optimus says as tears leaked in Strika's optics. 

"NO! NO! NO! MEGATRONUS! SOUNDWAVE HURRY ITS MEGATRONUS!" She cried as smoke came out from his body, optics closed as Strika was crying hysterically on top of him. 

Soundwave came out along with some vehicons as well as they were all shocked to see Megatron down. Strika, Soundwave and the other vehicons carried Megatron into the warship and straight to the medbay. 

"MY PRIMUS! What happened Strika?!" Knockout cried out as he placed life support cables around Megatron. 

"Just get to work on him, hurry!" She cried as she couldn't help but hold onto his Servo. 

***************

Its been a few hours now and Megatronus was still unconscious, but stabilized and Strika hasn't left his side since. 

"Someone please explain what happened?"

"Optimus Prime, Megatronus foolishly went after him for hurting me and got himself hurt instead. He also got shot in the back as we were leaving, I'm going to kill Optimus Prime," She declares getting angry with each sentence she spoke. 

"Strika, lets think rational about this, if Lord Megatron got in this condition, what makes you think you won't end up in the same condition?"

"Because I was revived by Shockwave," She declares standing up. "I can take a whole autobot base down, and that's exactly what I'll do,"

"Strika hold on now as your physician I strongly advise against this! Please you dont even know where the autobot base is!" Knockout says trying to stop her from leaving. 

"I will find it and when I do, all of the autobots will die by my hand," 

"But Lord Megatron needs you Strika, he'd be devastated if he doesn't see you by his side!" Knockout pleaded just as Strika was at the door about to leave. 

Strika sighed as she closed her optics before she went and balled her Servos into a fist. 

"Curse it all," She said before turning around to sit back down on the chair as she held Megatron's servo in her own. 

Knockout let out a sigh in relief, glad his friend did not go on a suicide mission.

ONE WEEK CYCLE LATER 

Its been an entire week since Megatron was last awakened. Strika hasn't moved from her spot an entire week, she was tired but didn't want to rest, she hasn't recharged with energon. She had just been sitting there waiting for any signs of movement from Megatronus. 

Knockout has tried to get her to leave, or to power down or at least drink some energon, and even take at least an oil bath but she would refuse and yell at him, and then she'd smack the energon off his servo's for even attempting to bring it to her. 

"I don't know what else to do for her Breakdown, she's depressed and wont do anything to keep herself positive, nobody knows how long it'll take for Lord Megatron to awaken," Knockout explained to his friend. 

He sighed. 

"Its Strika, you know how her and Megatron go way back, one can't live without the other,"

"Megatron lived all these eons without her, she can't do the same?"

"Love makes you do crazy things Knockout, come on lets see how the patient is today," Breakdown says as the door panel opens. 

Strika was still in the same position her head rested on Megatron's chest, her servo holding onto his as her Optics held sadness in them. Breakdown and Knockout looked at each other before looking back at her.

"Uhhh.... Strika," Knockout began as Strika looked up at him. "We need to check Lord Megatron's vitals to make sure hes okay, do you mind?" 

She closed her optics and shook her head as it landed right back on his chest. Knockout sighed, before he could say anything more a light groan sounded from Megatron as Strika's optics light up with relief as Megatronus grabbed onto her servo. 

"Strika?" Was the first thing he said as he opened his optics. 

Strika had tears running down her face as she began to cry on his chest again, but this time he was awake to see it. With Megatron's other servo he placed it on top of her head and stroke downwards as if to comfort her. 

"Lord Megatron, its good to see you awake again, you've been out of it for an entire week," 

"The last thing I remember was a blast and then darkness,"

"Correct Lord Megatron, Optimus shot you in the back when your backs were turned going inside the ground bridge, you were banged up pretty bad," Knockout explains as Megatron looks down at a crying Strika. 

"I worried you, I am sorry, but you should know I've survived far worse," he said as Strika lifted her face from his chest. 

"Megatronus....... I HATE YOU!" She suddenly screamed standing up as she punched Megatron in the face before getting up and leaving the lab. 

"That was ummm...... Unexpected," Knockout said placing his servos on his hips. 

"Yeah, she's pissed and everyone knows to back away from Strika when she is," Breakdown says looking as his master and his partner.
