Meeting (Chapter 1)

Negotiation

???

  I step onto the ship, my gorgeous golden hair flowing in the wind.

  A mechanical dragon looks at me, snarling.

  I just flick my wrist at the wretched thing, and it collapses, unconscious.

  I don't like animals.

  But I have come here for someone else.

  I wait.  They would come when they realize their beast suddenly collapsed.

I hear pounding footsteps made of metal.

  I have grown used to it, tomenting the Alpha all day.

  The red mech holding yet another lightning rod was flanked by at least twenty drones, all with guns pointed at me.

  "I wouldn't do that." I say, disarming them all just with a twitch of my fingers.

  The red one looks shocked for a moment.

  Good.

  "What do you want?" He snarls.

  "Do not have that tone with me." I say, and I make him kneel, along with the drones.

  "Now, ask nicely." I say, his red eyes afraid.

I grow to his leader's size, smiling in a way that all people fear.

  "What....  What do you need me to do?"

  I was satisfied.  "Take me to Megatron. I need to negotiate with him." I smirk.

  This was going all too well.

  I let him stand, along with the drones. 

  I look at them all. "Try anything, I kill you all."

  They stiffened, following the red one.

  I followed, annoyed that I was in the back.

  But the payoff will be worth it.

  We arrive where Megatron was, hands folded behind his back.

  "Knockout, what is it?" He turns around, annoyed.

  The red mech briefs the leader about what happened, and the warlord smiles.

  "Well?  What do you want?"

  I smile. "You to do something for me.  I already have the reward set up for you."

  "What is this... Reward you speak of?" He is interested.

  I will have him eating out of the palm of my hand.

  "All the relics and thier coordinates. And I can make Optimus Orion Pax again."

  "They will just use Vector Sigma again." He snarls.

  "Oh, really?" I say, pulling out the keycard from my pocket.

  His eyes widen.  I can tell he is impressed.  He takes it, making sure it was real.

  I stole it while Optimus was asleep and the Alpha wasn't aware that I was dwelling in her head.

  He smiles. "What do you need us to do?"

  I return the smile. "Get this boy.  Bring him to me. And I need a few....  Tools...  If you understand what I'm saying." I show him a picture of the Alpha's adopted boy.

  He smiles. "We can do that for you.  And I understand what you mean."

  This was too perfect.

  "I will handle any...  Disruptions that happen while you do this task for me. All you need do is ask."  I start walking out of the room.

  "What is your name?" The warlord asks.

  I turn to him. "I am the Empress of the Sun.  But you may call me Empress."

  "Well, then, Empress." He holds out his hand.

  I take it, shaking his hand. "We have a deal."

  "Good. And if you betray me, I will not hesitate to kill you."

  "Same goes for you, Empress." He hisses, letting go of my hand, turning his back to me.

  Im glad to know we were on the same page.

  I walk out, my stride full of glee.

  I was finally going to get back at her.

  Finally going to get my revenge.

  Finally going to end her reign.

  Finally going to be able to take her land as my own.

  Finally time to burn this whole world down.
