FIGHT

~(Y/N)'s POV~ 

     The dual was being held on the ground. Why? I don't know, but I have a feeling it had to do with the fact that I like it best, knowing Megatron and his want to  appease me. To be honest, I couldn't care less where we fought, just as long as I live through this. But frankly, this view is amazing. 

         "I certainly hope the horizon is not a distraction," I heard his dark chuckle, no matter what mood he's in, it's always dark. 

I turned from the scenery chosen for our dual, the running river a stark contrast to the flat green of the valley below. 

         "Of course not, just comparing the feeling now versus the feeling of when I'm victorious in this battle of ours." 

         "Your confidence is astounding," he admired, "Let's hope your bite is as strong as your bark." 

To this I said nothing, and looked to our growing audience of Vehicons. Any reply I could think of would be nothing but flirtatious, and for me, that would be just plain awkward. 

     Knockout took his place between us once we were ready to start our dual. 

         "Good luck to both of you," he said, a slight hint of sadness in his voice, "FIGHT!" He backed away as fast as he could, and was barely missed as Megatron took the first swing, only for his fist to pound into the solid dirt, dust settling over his servo. He looked around, confused, and I yawned, standing behind him. 

         "I knew you'd be slow, but not this slow." 

The war monger growled and swung at me again, only for my pede to make contact with his midsection. He stumbled back, and I stood on my left pede, my right one in a bit of pain from the force of the blow. 

         "Come on now, don't be hesitant." I sighed, knowing that he wasn't using his full power. 

         "Who said I was being hesitant?" Megatron stood to his full height. 

         "The fact that I got the first hit." I dead panned, and several murmurs were heard from the audience, "I suggest you step up your game before your reputation crumbles." 

He chuckled, and ran at me, to which I made no move until he had almost rammed into me, then, and only then, did I move. 

     Jumping, I grabbed hold of a metal spike on his shoulder, and swung myself behind him, my weight bringing him backwards, and onto his back, but he used this against me as he righted himself by going into a full roll, and kicking me away with his pede. I quickly stood back up, and knew that this still wasn't his full power. I rushed at him, and we met in the middle, trying to wrestle each other with our interlocked servos. 

        "I admire your enthusiasm to woo me, but I honestly would have thought you had figured things out by now." I pouted. 

         "I doubt this is relevant to the current event." He stated, his faceplate blank, obviously frustrated with the fact that I was matching him in strength.

         "Of course it is," I couldn't help but smirk, "Why else would you be going so easy on me?" 

He pushed me away, and we both transitioned to a defensive stance, circling. 

         "You're never angry at me for long, you do favors, try to make excuses for me to be by your side, the list goes on, you always want to see me," I dodged another blow, "Yet you are always blind to the obvious." 

         "And what, per say, is that?" He asked, making a back servo blow to my helm, but this time I ducked and went for his side with my pede, only to hit the air as he dodged as well.
