Megatron's twin

7:Boulders

Scout for energon, that was the job I was assigned. Such a boring job. I kicked some stones angrily while I walked through the canyon.

I glanced up at the walls which towered over me. Perfect place for an ambush, I noted. I continued forward and around some bends, no energon. Some small rocks crumbled down making light tapping sounds on my helm. The walls must be weak. I glanced up anyway.

I raised my optics ridges as I spotted a young white mech. He was pushed up against a ledge, awkwardly trying to stay up. He also noticed me.

We had a awkward stare off.

"What are you doing up there." I asked, breaking the ice. He shifted slightly making more stones fall.

"Get down from there, your gonna cause a landslide." I warned him.

"Why would you care?" He said skittishly.

I rolled my optics as if it was obvious. "I'm at the bottom of the canyon."

He looked at me and muttered something I did not catch. I thought he was about to come down. Well, that was untill he shot some rocks bellow him.

Next thing I know is that a army of rocks was charging towards me. I let off some colorful language before I was covered in rubble.

Thankfully I wasn't knocked out. I tried to move but found myself incapable of the movement. I heard light ped steps outside and yelled. "You little fragger!" He must've heard me, the ped steps stopped.

"Your still alive?!" A shocked voice yelled. Clearly I am.

"Don't start your victory dance yet!" I yelled back.

"I didn't!" He replied quickly. Lair. I tried to move again but the boulders wouldn't budge.

"Can you help me out?" I asked.

"No." He said bluntly.

"Please." I attempted to use manners.

"No."

I threw my civilities out the window, "you son of a glitch! You got me in this scrap to begin with! Now your gonna get me out. Or I'll gouge out your optics and wear the as ear accessories!"

There was silence, he was clearly uncomfortable. "Are you in critical condition?" He asked hopefully.

"No."

"Damn." I faintly heard him mutter.

"What's your designation?" I asked, uncomfortable of the small silence.

"Smokescreen." He said. "Now don't go anywhere," he added.

"Does it look like I can." I scoffed. I heard him begin speaking again, but not to me. Scrap, he was calling for backup. He didn't need to, but he must've thought I was Megatron. Yep he did.

"Smokescreen here, erm, I trapped Megatron!" He said over the com link.

"I practically gave you the idea!" I yelled.

He ignored me. "He's under a bunch of boulders." A pause. "Yep, got it."

"Is help coming?" I quizzed.

"Erm, sure." I heard the sound of a ground bridge opening, more ped steps and some more indistinct voices. More Autobots, great (note sarcasm).

"He's under these." I heard Smokescreen say. I felt some of the boulders shifting and some weight removed. They where getting me out!

"Optimus, what are you doing?" Smokescreen asked. More weight was removed. "I believe the one trapped under here is Quillux. Correct?" He directed the question at me.

"Yup." I replied.

"No it's Megatron." Smokescreen argued.

I scoffed, "common assumption."

Another boulder was removed and some light filtered in. "Quillux may look like Megatron, because he is his twin." Optimus explained.

I heard spluttering, "what?! How?"

"The details, I do not know." Optimus replied. More boulders where removed, and I attempted to lift the remaining. Not soon after I was free.

"Thank you." I said to Optimus, ignoring the mech beside him. I stretched my joints and attempted to walk away. My path was blocked by Smokescreen, rude.

"Should we take him prisoner?" He asked his leader.

"No." I said for him.

"Yes." Optimus said, Smokescreen transformed he's servos into blasters and directed them at me.

I rolled my optics. I tried to get around Smokescreen again, I was blocked. "Well, I dont want to go." I said turning to Optimus and crossing my arms.

"I'm afraid you have no choice." He answered in a monotone and transformed his servos to blasters. I eyed them cautiously. I looked between the two of them and made a dash to a rock foundation not far away.

"Stop!" Smokescreen yelled and his blasters charged up. I made it to the rock foundation and got into a low, defensive position. I was preparing to shoot.

"Do not force us to shoot." I heard Optimus say. I peeked around the rock foundation; they were also in defensive stance.

They were not approaching, good.

I shifted more into the open for more room. Smokescreen grew nervous, Optimus narrowed his optics. I dug my peds into the ground and slammed my arms together, transforming them into my cannon. Smokescreen seemed to choke on air, I shot at them, it landed between them and pushed them to the sides like a small bomb would. I have terrible aim.

Once I recovered from the recoil I leaped into the air and transformed into my jet mode. This action did not go unnoticed by the prime.

He began shooting and succeeded in landing a shot on my wing. I went spiraling downward, transforming while I was at it. I caught myself halfway down into the canyon, the Autobots where bellow.

Big mistake.

I transformed my cannon and shot once then recharged. The Autobots ducked for cover, giving me time to com the Nemisis.

"Hello, anyone there?"

I got silence as a answer, Soundwave must be there. "I require a ground bridge." I stated.

I glanced back at the Autobots they held out the guns and opened fire. I could of ducked but that would cause another landslide. Therefore I leaped aside into a barrel roll, and quickly shot the wall opposite me.

And the walls came tumbling down.

A ground bridge opened and I entered while transforming my cannon back into my servos.

It wasn't a Decepticon ground bridge. It was the Autobots ground bridge. This I noticed when I appeared in their base. The prime must've called for backup, but I entered before they came through.

In front of me stood Bulkhead, wrecking ball at his side. Arcee and Bumblebee, guns directed at me. Ratchet, wrench in servos.

From behind two sets of ped steps, Optimus and Smokescreen.

I raised my servos above my helm in surrender.

Scrap.
