Optimus's POV:
"Wise of you, Prime." Megatron laughs, and Alto lowers the sword. "Take them into custody." He orders to the vehicon troopers.
::Scrap!:: Bumblebee mutters.
~~~~~
The chains are tight and most uncomfortable, but I don't fight the troopers putting them on me. I can't let Ratchet get harmed further.
"Search the base." Megatron growls to Starscream, who nods and disappears down the halls.
I glance at Ratchet, fear washing over me. He looks just as panicked. Mithra! By the allspark, don't let anything happen to her... My spark is pounding in my chest, and my processor is reeling.
"Oh, and Optimus, I don't see Emma." Megatron nears me and snarls.
Treacherous child. "And?" My voice comes out in a growl.
"You recall the gem, of course, and you know it's capabilities." The warlord begins. "Surely you trust her judgement, and trust she'd never do such a thing."
What? "What do you mean?" I ask in confusion.
"She never tore apart that human building. You fell right into my trap, and got rid of your best defense." With that, Megatron turns and walks away from me, leaving me to soak in my mistake. I was wrong...
Starscream comes back into the room, looking slightly panicked.
"Uh, my Liege? " He asks.
Megatron turns and looks at him. "Yes?"
"There's a... Umm... Slight setback, maybe just a change well uh..." The seeker sputters, trying to put it into words. Finally he gives up and whispers to Megatron, and they both dissappear down the hallway. No!
My spark sinks in fear when Megatron emerges, with Mithra in his arms.

Emma's POV:
"What did I do?" I ask myself as I lumber across the grassy field, alone. Optimus seemed so angry, and... whatever I did must have been absolutely terrible if I was forced to leave the base, and for Optimus to be so firm. Now I'm alone with Saidy again... SAIDY?! I forgot Saidy! My freaking life companion!
"Mmkay, I go back for her, get my tailpipes kicked, or I just stay alone in life forever..." Decisions, decisions... I want her so badly, but... Team Prime... Maybe...
"PRIMUS THESE DECISIONS ARE SO HARD! "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to Optimus:
"Megatron leave her out of this!" I find myself practically pleading. "She's just a sparkling!"
"And who's sparkling is she?" The warlord growls, his optics flashing.
My throat tightens. I can't tell him she is Ratchet's daughter... the one Autobot that Megatron takes liking in torturing, Megatron will use her to hurt Ratchet! Scrap I can't let this happen...
Ratchet looks just as terrified, though he can't say anything. I can protect her...
With a deep breath and a shaky sigh, I say, "She's... She's mine."
Megatron looks like I told him Starscream became a Prime; confused and shocked.
"Leave her alone." Malachite growls from beside me.
Primus, don't let this happen...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Megatron POV:
Optimus? Has a sparkling? My processor reels. We shouldn't waste such a young life that can become useful to our cause...
"Take her back to her berth." I order Knockout, who nods and takes her in his arms. The young thing starts nibbling at his digits, and he sends me a reluctant look. I send him a glare, and he leaves. We will take her back to the warship and raise her as a Decepticon.
Optimus looks more than relieved, which brings me to the conclusion of our plan.
"Alto, Vess, I will need assistance." I gesture to the assassins, and Alto quickly binds Ratchet's ankles and he and Vess join me.
I ready my sword, the long silver blade thirsty for energon. "Bring Optimus to me." I quietly growl to them, and they seize Optimus and force him to his knees at my peds.
Ratchet lets out a cry and leans forward, despite the drones holding him in his place, as I raise the blade to Optimus's throat. The Prime holds his breath and stiffens, but does nothing more.
"Well? Any words of wisdom Alfa Trion passed down to you? Any speeches?" I darkly taunt him.
He lets out a shaky sigh and narrows his optics at me.
"Very well." I growl as I pull my arm back to strike.
