Megatron's twin

25:A Crumbling Tower

For some reason I snuggled into Shockwave's side, he did not seem to mind.

We walked to where his lab was stationed. Once we entered I immediately panicked, everything looked like a torture device, sharp instruments stuck up from their holds. I gave another whimper as my spark worsened.

"You are like a sparkling." Shockwave said blankly.

"I-I had high grade what do you expect?" I squeaked back, trying to stay on my peds. I saw my vision go dark in my left optic, my optic had stopped working? I attempted hitting it but the other went out too. I was temporarily blind... In a room with a stranger... Near torture devices.

I collapsed, my spark throbbed. I sat still, hopefully he won't notice.

"My liege," I voice came right infront of me, I fell back in fright. "It seems he has a medical condition." Was Shockwave using the com link? I felt him lift me up by my arm and put me on a berth, that's nice of him. "Take out your optic lenses." He ordered and I did so.

"I require the mixture." He said. I debated on debating him but then remembered the torture devices. I got out the flask and held it out to him, he took it. I heard him march off to examine it.

I could escape! I ignored the constant pains from my spark and shakily got up. I spread my arms out as if to find something in the dark. My servo hit the edge of something and I grabbed hold, it was a damn knife.

Turns out grabbing the blade of a knife is not a good idea, I almost let out a shriek of pain.

I tryed again, this time keeping my servos to myself, I silently snuck forward, not hearing Shockwave give any sign of noticing me. I heard the door smoothly open, I was close! I took another step, this time stubbing my ped. I ignored the pain, if Soundwave was watching, he would of found it comedic.

The doors closed behind me, I was free! The hallways were mainly straight so I found my way forward easily. Untill I bumped into something smaller than myself. "Ah!... You good?" Came the smooth voice of Knockout.

"Yup, I just escaped." I begun.

"What happened to you optics?" He said sounding panicked.

"What about them?"

"They're grey."

"Oh, I'm temporary blind."

"What?" He was clearly panicking now.

"Yea! And I escaped Shockwave!"

"Did you?" He asked a little unsure.

That's when I felt another presence, it went silent quick. He was here... Wasn't he? I turned and ran.

Smack. I crashed into something hard and flat, fragging walls! Almost instantly, sharp servos gripped my shoulder plate.

"Fleeing is illogical."

Suddenly my blue optics onlined once again, finally! I looked at Shockwave and gave a nervous grin before I broke his grip and darted.

He was so scary! Or maybe it was the high grade... Anyway, I ran down the halls with no destination in mind. Untill I found Megs.

"Hey Megs!" I greeted him, slowing to a walk beside him. He raised an optic ridge and put a arm around me.

"Not running from me?" He asked.

"Nope."

"Then who?" He asked.

"Shockwave, he's creepy." I said and he started to walk, pulling me with him.

"Oh really?" His voice sounded strangely playful but I ignored it.

"Mmm hmm."

He raised an optic ridge, "how much high grade did you have?"

I shrugged.

"Hmm..." We stopped infront of a door and it slid open, Megatron nudged me inside. "Well, we're here."

"Where?" The I looked around. My optics met Shockwave's lone optic.

I must've been in a very low mental state because I fainted.

When I woke up, I was on a berth. Thankfully I was not strapped down. Yay! However a pair of crimson optics hovering above me startled me shitless.

"Ahh!" I jumped and fell of the berth, the owner of the optics recoiling while I did so.

"Keeping secrets, were you?" I looked up to see my twin standing over me, he extended a servo.

I took it and he hauled me up. "What do you mean?" I asked, I had no clue what he was talking about, I was still groggy. The high grade was beginning to wear off, how long was I asleep?

My twin tapped a digit on my chassis, above my spark. "I asked you before and you lied to me." He stated, his voice calm but I could sense anger threatening to rise.

I blinked, trying to focus. "Your spark is weak, Shockwave's results don't lie." Oh, that's what he was talking about.

"Ah, that." I begun fidgeting with my digits like a youngling. "Doesn't bother me much." I mumbled, looking down at the floor.

Megatron turned his back to me and grabbed something before he came back. It was a large flask, he set it down on a table near me. "This is stronger than what you had before, for your spark." He explained and I noticed Shockwave was no longer here.

"Ah, that's good." I said and I grabbed it, turning it in my servos as I examined it.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I looked up at Megatron, his expression unreadable.

"I didn't want to worry you." I huffed.

Megatron opened his intake to say something but never got to it, as at that moment Darkmount shook.

"Huh?" I stumbled as it shook yet again.

Megatron frowned and brought his servo to his com, "Starscream, what is happening?" He asked into the com. I waited patiently, "go to the Nemisis." He told me. "I have something to deal with." He said as he headed out.

Go to the Nemisis... Why? Oh well, I can ask him later, I walked out the door stumbling as yet another tremble went through Darkmount.

I silently cursed myself as I tried to find a way out, I should have memorised the blueprints to the damn palace.

Plating fell from the roof as it shook more violently, was it collapsing? My thoughts were cut off as I crashed into someone yet agian.

Ohhh, what's gonna happen now?
