Chapter 19

"These—"

Amal held up the cube shell. "—are Dark Energon capsules. Or, cubes. Whatever you wanna call them, you're gonna put this purple shit in there. Carefully. Because if any of this gets on you, you're tanks are gonna be regretting everything for the next week." Amal explained.

"Question?"

"Answer."

"Why are you in charge of this?"

"Because, Bulk, I was in charge of all Energon operations on the Nemesis, no matter what. I'm the most experienced with this. But, I will need some help." Amal said, looking down the hallway. Arcee shook her head. "Please no." She mumbled.

"That was our deal." Amal snapped. "Indeed it was. I will go release Starscream and Soundwave." Optimus said, nodding his head before disappearing down the hallway.

The Autobots walked off to prepare for the mission, leaving Megatron and Amal to be standing next to the computer.

"What happened to Shockwave and the others on the ship?" Amal questioned quietly to Megatron. "They must have bridged our before the Autobots found them. Hopefully somewhere they will not be discovered. I can't afford to lose my chief science officer so soon after gaining him back." Megatron mumbled angrily.

"What Of Predaking?" Megatron asked Amal. "Safe. Hopefully. He won't be found, I know of it." Amal promised the Warlord. Megatron nodded before Optimus walked back.

"Finally. Being stuck in this form is much better than being stuck in that stupid cell." Starscream muttered bitterly, brushing off his clothes. "Hey Screams, you have fun in there?" Amal asked with a snicker. Starscream rolled his optics as he walked up the stairs. "So much fun." He grumbled before Soundwave has made her way in, quietly walking up the stairs.

"This deal was stupid."

"It was the only way to get them to not kill us." Amal said quietly, rolling her eyes. The seeker sat next to Amal on the railing, crossing his arms angrily. "I'd rather be back on the ship." He said truthfully, blowing a piece of hair out of his face. Soundwave leaned on the railing next to Megatron, quietly gazing around to study the base.

"Who wouldn't rather be there? At least we'd have the freedom to walk around without having someone stare down at us." Amal grumbled before taking her flask out of her trench coat and taking a swing from it as Ratchet approached.

"Isn't that bad for you humans?" Ratchet questioned with a weird look. Amal shrugged. "Yea, but it's not like I care." Amal said, knowing he didn't know what actually was in the flask. Ratchet let out a 'hmph' as she closed it.

He frowned, swearing he could've seen a faint blue glow in the flask, but shrugged it off as his own imagination as he typed into the computer. "I have the groundbridge ready for launch." He announced as he stepped away from the computer.

"Sweet, lets roll." Amal got off the railing, jogging down the stairs as Starscream and Megatron followed. As Amal ran to get in front of the groundbridge launch pad, she was stopped by Optimus's ped.

Amal frowned up at him. "Amal, you will not be going with us." He stated, shaking his head. Amal's eyebrows arched angrily as she clenched her fist. Her teeth gritted harshly as the sensor that monitored her heart, that Knockout had installed, started going off in her head loudly, but she proceeded to ignore it.

"Oh, hell, to the fucking no."

"Oh no."
