Crystal's BackStory

Chapter 8

This had been 2 years after the help at the Orphanage, Crystal, Megatron, and Orion had grown very close. They were like siblings. But today was the day, that Megatron was to step in front of the council and purpose his ideals of a perfect society.

"Megatron, you look fine."

"How do you know that? I must look my best for the council..."

"You don't need to worry about your looks, but I believe that the council will be too stupid to listen to your political stance, so if they don't listen to your ideas, then tell them you'll use force."

"You sure?"

"They suppress under a mighty hand and they have no defense against the mighty lord Megatron!"

"Lord? Mighty?"

"I'm just preparing for when you become a prime!"

"Yeah, I can't wait, Once I'm a prime, nothing is going to touch Cybertron. I will be the only one to ever rule Cybertron"

"That's it! Use that pride and get what you want!"

"Yeah, I'll come back to you in an hour, stay put, and I'll hopefully come back with the matrix of leadership!"

"Go get 'em!" Crystal cheered. She had to stay back, she was going to buy her old childhood home.

"Hello." The Realestate femme said as Crystal walked up to the house, sparklings had clearly been playing inside through a window.

"Hello. I have the bolts in hand." Crystal said, pulling out a box full of bolts.

"Are you not even going to take a tour?" The femme looked at her with wide optics.

"This was my childhood home. I know where everything is..." Crystal handed her the bolts, "Can I have the deed to the house? Please..."

"Yes." The femme brought out the data pad and pen, so Crystal signed it. She waved the femme goodbye as she walked inside. Nothing had changed, the sofa was still there, the Data screen was still there, and the store was in pretty good shape, good enough to fix up. Crystal got excited, grabbed an old broom and mop from the closet in the store's kitchen to begin cleaning.

An hour passed, and she had the place spotless, she fixed the window that was broken. She replaced the ripped seats at the tables, she fixed the power generator making all the lights come on. She had just been brewing her and Megatron a pot of Sweet Energon, when he smashed the front door open, making Crystal jump.

"Megatron??" She walked out of the kitchen, and dropped the pot full of Energon, his eyes were red.

"Orion... Is not my friend." Megatron growled, throwing a nearby chair across the room.

"What happened?" Crystal ran up to him, concern riddling her figure.

"I did as you said... The council refused to listen to the ideas I had to offer, and so I told them that I'd take the old guard down with force if I had to, to achieve the Matrix of Leadership. Then... Orion stood up to them, moved me out of the way, and told the council what they wanted to hear. They said they believed he was the first one who was worthy of being a prime, during the golden age." Megatron growled more, Crystal's face going dark.

"Orion... wouldn't..."

"Well he did!" Megatron shouted.

"If that's how it's going to be, I will assist you. This is war." Crystal said, looking up at Megatron, "We will need a name, to let them know we are here, against them."

"And what will that be?"

"Decepticons. For if speaking the truth is deception, then we will be gladly guilty."

"Who would join?"

"Your loyal followers. Now go, Orion may stop by to try to find you." Crystal pushed him out of the building, "If anything... make sure that the Decepticons stay away from my house. that's all I care about." Crystal said, looking at him expectantly.

"I promise... I won't let anything hurt you. You are the only thing that's stayed by my side..." Megatron held her chin in his hand, looking into her eyes, "As long as you promise to continue?"

"Of course." Crystal watched as he left, allowing her feelings to catch up with her. She cried, for hours. Hours turned into Days. The war has spread all over Cybertron, she could watch the news and everyday Megatron was destroying more of the planet. She decided then and there to go find Stonetron, hide him in her house. So she awoke from power down and left to go find Stonetron. Megatron kept his promise... The Decepticons destroyed all of the city except for her place, and that made her feel safe walking. She drove off towards her old home, but when she arrived there were Decepticon soldiers standing outside the door, that seemed forced open, and so she snuck in through her old room's window. She walked into the Main room, and that's when she saw it. Megatron ripped out Stonetron's spark and watched his body fall, the Energon spilling onto the floor.

"That was the last of the connections to the council. Now to call in a favor." Megatron started to head out, and so Crystal ran to the library. She smashed a big button that shown colors that Stonetron taught her how to scan, and so she scanned a blue with white flames before transforming to leave. She drove home, and apparently just on time, Megatron knocked as soon as she walked into the building.

"Hello?"

"Crystal, I must ask you to join me on my side."

'You killed someone who raised me from a young sparkling, and you expect me to be on your side?!' Crystal got angry before opening the door, where her anger melted away, "Of course..."

"Though it would mean we could accidentally destroy your home."

"I don't care anymore, anything to be with you, Lord Megatron." Crystal bowed down on one knee to him, and he huffed.

"Come with me then." He let Crystal follow in front of him, just in case any Autobots were lurking around.
