Transformers Prime: Nahko

Airachnid Leaves the Decepticons

Nahko's POV

I have no idea how long I was here, but I was brought a cube of energon every now and then. But I haven't drunk any of them, who knows what the cons could of put in it. I've just stayed in my corner praying that I'd be save or find out on my own.

"I'm told you are refusing energon" Megatron states as he enters the cell with a data pad.

"So what?" I ask him.

"I'd hate to see a Prime starve themselves" he states. I say nothing glaring at him. "What? Think I wouldn't know?" he asks me with a smirk. "You see when Unicron awakened, he mentioned a future Prime. Then you appear with the fully charged Matrix of Leadership" he states. "But you're not just a Prime, are you?" he asks me.

"I have no idea what you're talking about" I tell him.

"Soundwave discovered the death off one of the autobots human pets" he states and shows me the data pad. On it is a photo of me as a human with an article how I died after surviving a year with an unknown shard inside me. "Remarkable coincidence, she dies and you appear" he tells me.

"That's all it is, a coincidence" I tell him.

"I doubt that" he tells me.

"Why am I here Megatron? You seem to have all your answers" I state.

"Except how you became Cybertronian" he states. "You see if I could replicate that, I could make more soldiers and there are billions of test subjects on Earth" he tells me smirking.

"You can't do that!" I yell getting to my feet. "They are innocent people and don't deserve to be tortured and used by you" I snap. "Besides, it can't be replicated. Ratchet said so" I tell him.

"I'd rather have my own doctor be the judge of that" he tells me. "But first we'll need to learn everything you know about how you came to be what you are" he states.

"I told you before and I'll say it again. I won't tell you a thing" I sneer.

"Who said you'd have a choice?" he asks me. "I'm sure you are familiar with the cortical physic patch" he states. I gulp nervously, how am I supposed to fight that?

'It is ok young one, we will protect you the best we can' Solus assures me.

'Stay strong' Alpha Trion tells me.

"But first, I have a more urgent matter to attend too" he tells me. "So the procedure will have to wait" he states. "Be sure to drink your energon, I'd hate for you die before I get my answers" he tells me before leaving my cell. I have to get out of here, but how?

'Use your size against them' Micronus Prime tells me.

'Do not forget your gifts' Prima adds.

'We will be here to guide you' Alpha Trion assures me.

'Thank you guys' I tell them.

(Bridge) Third Persons POV

"If it pleases you, Lord Megatron, once Soundwave discovers a means of decoding the remainder of the Iacon database, as we know he will, I would suggest the deployment of an underutilized asset" Airachnid suggests to Megatron.

"And what asset would that be, Airachnid?" he asks her.

"I believe that my superior tracking skills would expedite your quest to recover the remaining relics" she tells him.

"Noted" he says.

"You are a gracious audience, My Lord" she says bowing. Before leaving the bridge with a smirk. If she got a hold of the relics, no way was she handing them to him. Though she is wondering who they have prisoner in the cell. Megatron has not told her a thing and she knows she is losing his trust. But what's more important? Killing Megatron or finding out who the secret prisoner is? Killing Megatron she decides.

Meanwhile on the bridge Megatron looks at Soundwave. "Soundwave. Remind me of her trustworthiness" he tells him. A video appears on Soundwave's visor.

"I believe we must consider the possibility of a future without Megatron" Airachnid says on the video. Megatron hums and looks at Dreadwing as Soundwave gets back to work decoding the Iacon database.

"Dreadwing" Megatron says and Dreadwing approaches him.

"I am at your beck and call, Lord Megatron" he tells him.

"I wish to entrust you with a task I would normally reserve for myself. That is, if you wish to prove yourself worthy of becoming my second in command" Megatron tells him.

"That post belongs to Airachnid" Dreadwing states.

"She'll be missed" Megatron tells him and Dreadwing gets his meaning. "And I suggest you bring backup. She can be a handful, especially when cornered" he tells Dreadwing. Who nods his helm before going in search of Breakdown.

(Cell) Nahko's POV

"Time for your next dose" Knockout states as he enters with a cube of energon.

"I don't want it" I tell him.

"Well then looks like we are gonna have to force feed you" he tells me. I glare up at him. "Either you drink it or I take you to the medical bay. Strap you down and hook you up to an energon drip. Which will it be?" he asks offering me the cube. I weigh up my options, it'd be easier to escape the med bay. But I'd be more restrained then I am now and I'll need my strength to escape. So I reluctantly take the cube and drink it. I taste nothing odd about it.

Once I was done I hand Knockout the empty cube. "How long have I been here?" I ask him.

"A few days" he says with a shrug. "So what are you called now?" he asks me.

"Still Nahko" I tell him and he nods his helm. "So what's more important to Megatron then getting his answers about me?" I ask him.

"Killing Airachnid, she tried to stage a coo while he was dealing with Unicron" he states shrugging. "Breakdown and Dreadwing are dealing with her as we speak" he adds.

"I thought Megatron usually dealt with such matters personally?" I ask him confused.

"He does usually" he agrees. "Anyway, I got other work to do. Stay put and don't cause any trouble" he tells me before leaving.

(Time skip)

I don't have all the details, but from what I've heard. Airachnid has left the decepticons, but is still alive. Dreadwing is now second in command and Breakdown is dead. And it's only a matter of time before Megatron orders the cortical physic patch procedure to be performed on me.
