Predacon Outcast

Chapter 29.

*    *    *    *

I'm laying in my bed and I'm bored out of my mind, just staring at the ceiling. Lockdown and whoever the other guy was haven't come back to open the door, let alone see if I'd gone anywhere. But unfortunately, there was nothing in here to escape. No vents to crawl through, and the window I have only leads out into space. I turned onto my side facing away from the door, now staring at the wall.

"At least this is better than being with Megatron..."

I heard the door open again, my ears perked and I sat up. Of course it was Lockdown, who else would it be other than the other guy? I frowned and laid back down.

"Get up, Predacon." He demanded.

I groaned, "Whyyyyyy.....?"

"Because I told you to, unless you'd rather sleep in a cage." He said.

My eyes widened and I got out of my bed, my ears down. That made him grin at me.

"I didn't think so. Now come with me."

"Where?" I ask.

"You'll see."

Oh no, did what I say earlier make him angry enough to put me in a cage?! I reluctantly followed him out of my room, headed towards who knows where. We walked through another hall of big cages with creatures in them, they weren't very happy when we walked past. One of them had tentacles and was trying to reach through the bars, whipping them at him and me. Lockdown ducked and quickly turned his hand into a hook, slashing at the tentacles and slicing them off. I yelped as I saw the creatures tentacles hit the ground and it screeched in pain.

"Damn things..." He muttered.

"What is THAT?!" I exclaimed.

"Something you don't want to let get a hold of you, I learned that one the hard way."

He pointed to one of his bigger scars, I cringed and hissed.

"Ow..." I said.

Lockdown said nothing and started walking again, I tried to keep up because these creatures are really scary and he could handle them. I followed behind him as we passed by more cages, walking into a cage free hall. I sighed of relief since there were no more cages, but there was a big round door up ahead. I tilted my head and looked up at him as we approached the door, he pushed some buttons on a keypad and the door opened like a spiral.

The door opened into a really big room. A giant ring was floating around a platform with some REALLY big cages on it, like Grimlock sized almost. Maybe bigger. I whimpered and started backing away when Lockdown's servo landed on my back, stopping me.

"Welcome the Knights Teminos, Predacon." He said.

My eyes widen as he took my servo and lead me into the room. I was scared out of my mind, he's gonna put me in a cage! I whined and tried to pull against him, but he was much stronger than I thought. He dragged me onto the main platform and pushed me to the floor in the middle of the cages. I felt my spark starting to pulse faster and my breath quickening, I was starting to panic.

I was whimpering and trying to get away from the cages, but they were on all sides with something in almost every one of them. I felt the fear in me intensify and I was in full on panic mode, tears filling my eyes and running down my face. I started crying out of pure fear and terror, curling up into a ball and hiding behind my wings. I was waiting for Lockdown to open a cage and to throw me in, to walk away laughing at me. Just like Nex did...just like the cons did...

But nothing happened, and I was confused. I lowered my wings and saw Lockdown standing there. He didn't look angry, or amused by any means. He just looked...calm. That's really weird for me to see, I still felt the tears still running down my face and sniffled.
