Starscream the Opal

chapter 2

Opal starred at her Opal. She thought herself an idiot for saluting to a tyrant! She was sitting in the medical bed when a blue one came in. "Hi there newbie. Name's Breakdown." He said extending a hand, she looked at his hand and nodded. "I'm Opal." Opal replied not taking his hand and he took it away. "So you're a seeker. How long have you been floating around in space?" "A few months give or take." She said and covered up her Opal. "Where's the Knockout?" She asked and he laughed. "You're seriously calling him that?" "That's what he is isn't he?" She asked confused. "No. What do you think he is? A clone?" He suddenly looked at her as if realizing something. "Oh Primus I'm sorry. I forgot that you seekers, you have your own thing you do.......did i offend you?" He asked with sadness in his voice and she smiled. "No my friend you didn't. In fact you amuse me. So you aren't known as the Breakdown? And what's a clone?" She asked and he smiled. He explained about as much as he could to her knowing only that she was a seeker so her way of life would've been different. ".....honestly if you want to find out more you have to go to Shockwave. That's the extent of my knowledge on the subject." Breakdown said and Opal nodded. She watched as Breakdown placed a finger on his ear and he nodded. "Yes my liege I'll bring him to you." He said and got up. "I'm taking a prisoner to Lord Megatron. Wanna come along?" "I would very much like to." She said and stood up and walked gracefully just like how blue Diamond taught her, her skirt moved like water as she walked. I wounder where the pearls are? Shouldn't this Lord Megatron have at least one Pearl? She thought as she walked beside Breakdown to the dungeon where an almost dead bot was lying. Breakdown opened the cell door and grabbed the bot by the the arm he had left. "Did Megatron do this?" Opal asked in absolute horror. "No Megatron didn't do this. He did this to himself. He was driven mad by the Cybonic plague that made him do this to himself. Skywarp was one of Megatron's friends, it's only right that he puts his friend out of his misery." Breakdown said and Opal jumped back as the bot coughed out black liquid. "Stand back. One drop touches you and you're a gonner." Breakdown said and she nodded noticing that he was wearing a glove while dragging him. When they reached the throne room they were welcomed with sad faces, Megatron's seemed to be the saddest. He couldn't even look at the mech as he killed him but Opal saw the good will in it. Back on homeworld the same thing would've been done if there was nothing else they could do. Before he killed Skywarp she heard the tyrant say. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry i couldn't help you. Please forgive me." The loud bang she believed she'll never forget as it repeated over and over in her brain.

A vehicon was showing her to her new room. She had told Megatron she was feeling tired and expected him to tell her she can sleep under his throne, but in fact he told a vehicon to take her to her own room. By the colour of our diamonds, is this man truly an evil man? No stop it Opal! You have a mission and you must carry it out........even if this feels wrong. She thought to herself and watched as the vehicon punched in the code memorizing it. "This is your room commander Opal. If you need anything just ask." The vehicon said and walked off leaving her confused. Commander? But i just got here! How can he trust a complete stranger to do something so high up as Commander? She thought and walked into her new room, it looked plain and boring so obviously it hadn't been lived in before. "This room needs a gems touch." She muttered to herself and closed the door to get started.

"Let me get this straight Soundwave." Megatron said rubbing his temple in frustration. "You want me to give your position second in comand to this seeker!? Have you gone mad? We barely even know her!" He yelled and paced around the room. "Soundwave: believes we should keep the seeker close to keep a better eye on her. The seeker: seems confused and scared." Soundwave said and Megatron looked at him. "I understand the confused part but i don't understand the fear. Soundwave. ......am i intimidating?" He asked looking at his friend who stayed silent. Megatron sighed and nodded. "I see. I probably didn't give a good first impression did i?" More silence as Soundwave thought of what he should say. He then remembered something about seekers that might interest Megatron. "Megatron: should make Opal feel comfortable by making her his Pearl." Megatron looked at his second with wide eyes. "Soundwave i know what that means in seeker. I don't think i should go up to her and tell her she's my mate." He said and Soundwave shrugged. "It was just a suggestion." He said and walked out of the room leaving Megatron to ponder about the situation.

"There that's better." Opal said looking at her work. The room looked like her old room back on the mother ship but with improvements. She layed on her bed and found it was a whole lot more comfortable than her old bed, in fact she was sinking in it! She managed to get to a position where she wouldn't sink into the bed and felt her exhaustion overcome her. She closed her eyes and smiled as her gem glowed as she dreamed.

Strangely enough she dreamed about Megatron but not as a tyrant but as someone she would look up to. He looked at her with open arms and she found herself racing to his embrace. She leaped into his embrace and cried tears of joy. "It's alright my Pearl. My beautiful Pearl." He lifted her face up to face him and he smiled wiping away her tears. "What do you mean? I'm not a Pearl." She said locking eyes with him. "Opal .....i love you, you're my adorable Pearl. You mean the galaxy to me." He said and kissed her cheek making her moan but she didn't understand why. He was a tyrant Yellow Diamond said so, so why was she feeling this way for him? A shadow came over them and she looked up seeing a homeworld ship! "Opal! You have failed us. The punishment for treason is to be shattered! And you can be shattered alongside that tyrant!" She heard and she trembled violently with fear. "No! You can't do this! This is wrong!" She screamed but ether they couldn't hear her or they didn't want to listen. A beam shot down on them and she hugged Megatron tightly as a white light surrounded them.

She woke up sweating and panting. Her spark was beating much faster than usual. She looked up at the ceiling and wished she knew if what she was going to do was a good thing to do. I can't delay any longer. Tomorrow the first chance i get i will take his head......even if it feels wrong.
