If Lockdown wanted Vengeance

I Need You Now

~Lockdown~

My duplicate and I used the portal to go back into the ship beneath Sky's home. We must retrieve her now. We headed up the stairs and into the home, I remember being forced to stay here with every Autobot or that Predacon watching me.

From what I can tell, it's the middle of the night, meaning everyone here is in recharge. Perfect. I lead the way towards Sky's room, the door was open. My duplicate looked in.

"Both her and her Sparkmate are in there asleep." He said silently so he wouldn't wake them.

I sneak into the room and quietly take out my weapon, an EMP stabilizer. That way neither of them can attack us if awoken. I take a look at Sky when I noticed something, a light scar on her head.

Where did that come from? Because it certainly wasn't there before. Optimus had his arm around Sky, keeping her from possibly falling off the berth.

"We must be quick." I aim my EMP stabilizer at the two of them.

I fire a quick minimal shot. That should keep them from waking, not even shaking them will wake them up. I lift Optimus' arm off of Sky as my other self picks her up. We have her, now to get her back to the Fallen's base on Cybertron.

We head back down the hall and down into the ship, my other self still carrying Sky. I activate the portal and we headed through, now on Cybertron.

My other self carried Sky into the meeting room where The Fallen, Megatron and Starscream were. The Fallen turned his head and sees who he wants in my duplicates arms. He looked very pleased with our success.

"Well done you two. Take her to medbay before she wakes up." The Fallen ordered.

I take Sky from my duplicate and headed towards the medbay. I enter to see the medic they have here, his name would be Lockshift. He's a white and black mech with yellow optics and no symbol. Lockshift turned towards me.

"What is it?" He asks.

"The Fallen wanted me to bring her here." I laid Sky on a berth as she slept soundly.

Lockshift went over and examined Sky as everyone else entered. The Creators had gone back to our world for the time being, they're meeting with someone. I heard Sky groan and saw her shift in place.

~Sky~

I start opening my eyes, a bright white light was being shined on my face. I fully opened my eyes to see yellow ones looking into mine. It's a mech that I've never seen before, he's black and white and he's touching me. I smacked his hand away and sat up fast, an ache forming in my head.

"Ow..." I hold my head and winced.

"She woke up sooner than I thought." I heard a deep and raspy voice.

I see The Fallen, Megatron, Starscream and-2 LOCKDOWNS?!?! I just about scream at the sight of every Decepticon I despise on the other side of the room.

"Where the hell am I?!" I yelled.

"You're in my base in medbay." The Fallen came forward.

I have to be asleep. I have to be dreaming. There can't be 2 Lockdown's in one place! Also I'm in human form, so how are these mechs only a little taller than me?

"This is a dream, this is a dream...." I tell myself.

"This is not a dream, my dear. This is very much real." The Fallen only came closer to me. 

The mech next to me stops him before he reaches me.

"Forgive me sir, but this femme's head is badly wounded. If you want her abilities, you must wait until she's fully healed or the extraction won't work properly. She also has amnesia from the sound of it." The mech said.

This mech is helping me? The Fallen growled and glared at me, then to the mech.

"Then what do you suggest?" He asked with frustration.

"You can't keep her in a cell, it won't help her heal correctly. She needs a berth to rest on until she's fully healed." The mech continued.

"I'm gonna leave you two to talk..." I got off the berth and headed for the door.

The door suddenly shut before I could leave. A hand grabbed my arm and pulled me back roughly, causing more head pain. I saw long, skinny and pointed fingers around my arm. Megatron.

"Easy with her! If you want her to heal, then be gentle!" The mech snapped.

The Fallen growled while also glaring at me.

"She should have a room in the base to rest in for the time being. She can't stay in here due to the gadgets I'm upgrading." The mech said.

"There AREN'T any other rooms but ours." Starscream interrupted.

Oh no...does that mean I have to bunk with one of these guys?? God I hope not. That made one of the Lockdown's smirk, and me feel uncomfortable.

"Can I just go home?" I suggest.

"No." The Fallen said firmly.

I pulled my arm free of Megatrons grip, he looked rather irritated. The Mech and The Fallen kept discussing, the Fallen sighed deeply.

"I know exactly who she will stay with." The Fallen said.

"Wh-Who?" I ask nervously.

He looks at me, comes over and takes me by the arm. Uh oh.... I think I know who I'm gonna be staying with.... And I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL. The feelers on the sides of his face moved as he smirked.

"You shall be staying in my quarters, that way I can ensure you won't escape." The Fallen sneered.

The door opened and he pulled me down this very long hallway. He pulls kinda roughly at first but remembers what the mech said about me healing. I don't bother struggling, my head hurts too much to even care at this point.

A door was coming up at the end of this corridor, I gulped nervously. We approached the door and it hissed open, The Fallen takes me inside. He let go of my arm and the door closed behind us.

There was a berth that could fit 3 of The Fallen, a strange shaped window to the outside, and a few swords on the wall. The Fallen pushed me towards the berth, I was being stubborn like a mule.

"I'M NOT LAYING THERE!" I yelled and pushed.

"You will if I do this!!" The Fallen yelled back.

I was starting to float off the ground, I yelped as I was laid on the berth forcefully. I struggled to get up as The Fallen was using his abilities on me. He grabbed me and attached a chain to my wrist, connecting the other end to the side of the berth.

I pulled against the chain as he chuckled evilly.

"That's not going to work, child. Once you're fully healed, your powers are mine." The Fallen left the room.

I sat up and pulled my knees to my chest. I don't know where I am or what's going on, I can't believe that I'm going to say this but....

I'm scared.

"Optimus...I need you now...I really do..." I whispered out loud.

I closed my eyes, tears starting to fill them. I start to sing,

'Picture perfect memories. Scattered all around the floor....
Reaching for the phone cuz
I can't take it anymore...
And I wonder, if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time...
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now....
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control and I need you now...
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now....'

I Need You Now by Lady Antebellum, it seems rather fitting at the moment. I just want to go home and see my sparkmate, I want to see Optimus now more than I ever have before. I start to cry quietly, hoping that the Fallen doesn't just walk in to see me in tears.
