17. Lies
General Narration
Location: Autobot Base
Smokescreen paced around the entire base waiting for Optimus to give the 'ok'. He wanted to move out at soon as possible.
He walked into the main room and saw all the 'Bots prepping their weapons, checking their cannons and Optimus at the computers locking in coordinates.
"The ground bridge is ready." Ratchet informed to his leader.
"Autobots transform, and roll out!" Optimus called out, signally their leave.
All the Autobots drove through the groundbridge at full speed. They exited finding themselves on the flight deck of the Nemesis.
"Look for an entrance into the ship. Spread out." Optimus ordered.
Arcee and Bumblbee, being the smallest, raced around quickly, looking for an entrance. Arcees skill in the stealth department helped greatly, avoiding sensors and killing any Vehicons out on security watch.
"Optimus I've found a door leading to the hallway of the Nemesis." Arcee spoke through her comm-link.
"Well done, Arcee. Autobots move to Arcees location." Optimus commanded.
All the 'Bots moved towards their femme friends location and awaited their orders from their leader.
"We will head inside, try to avoid all possible contact with Decepticons we go in get out." Optimus ordered.
They all nodded at the tall Autobot.
The Autobots headed inside the Nemesis. Silently.
"Arcee Smokscreen and Bumblebee go down the east wing. Bulkhead and myself shall investigate the west wing." Optimus commanded, full of authority.
His followers set out and followed his orders without complaint.
Smokescreen was silent the entire trip. Determined to find and save his sparkmate.
Smokescreens POV
I stalked down the cold hallways of the Nemesis with Arcee and Bumblebee behind me.
I entered every room. Checking every corner.
Killing every Vehicon.
This is the second time my sparkmates been captured! Why is it always her?! I just want her to be safe.
"Smokescreen! Slow down. This is a stealth mission not a speed mission! We need to find Frost with as little Decepticon contact as possible!" Arcee scolded.
I just ignored her. If I listen to her and reply, I'll lose it. It's bad enough my sparkmate may be in danger, I don't need to be creating tension within the team.
I continued going my way at my current speed. I saw Arcee roll her optics at my stubbornness.
We came to another door. It opened quickly and revealed our three forms to four Vehicons.
"Lord Me-" one Vehicon started comming Megatron before I shot him in the head.
Bumblebee and Arcee charged towards another Vehicon each, slicing them open and blasting holes in them.
I turned to the fourth one still standing, but frozen in fright. I punched him in the helm and he stumbled back. Catching him off guard I pinned him to the nearest wall and started interrogating him.
"Where is Megatron!!" I shouted. "T-the communications hub. U-up the front of the ship!" He stuttered. "Good. Now. Where's Skyfrost?!" I demanded. "Who?" He asked, terrified for his life.
"SKYFROST!! Where is she?!!?" I yelled. "I-I don't know!" He shouted back. Now was not a good time to lie to me.
I stepped back, releasing him from my hold and stared at him a little longer. "One. More. Chance." I warned. "I swear! By the AllSpark! I don't know!" He pleaded.
I glared at him. Then shot him in the chest. I transformed my gun back to my servo and walked out in silence.
I turned around to see my two teammates staring at me optics wide.
"What?!" I shouted, getting irritated. "Smokescreen you need to calm down. This isn't you-" she started but I cut her off.
"You think I like doing this?! Well you're wrong ok! I'm trying to save my sparkmate and make sure she's alright!" I shouted back at her. Now standing in front of her, staring down at her.
Bumblebees faceplate showed a little anger as he stepped in between us and pushed us away from each other.
"Beep! Whirr! Buuzz!" Bumblebee sounded, communicating with beeps and whirrs.
"I'm not being hostile! I'm just eager to save Sky!" I quickly defended myself. "Look, let's just get on with the mission, we'll talk about this later. We know where Megatron is. Let's go." Arcee took charge.
I was first to charge out of the room and headed towards the front of the ship. Arcee and Bee following close behind.
We came to an intersection in the ships hallways. I hid behind the corner, listening out for any sounds. I heard some heavy pedes trudging this way. I readied my cannons as did Arcee and Bumblebee.
I quickly nodded at the two of them and then we all jumped out from behind the corner only to be greeted with blazing cannons at our helms.
"Friendly!" Arcee rapidly spat. Bulkhead and Optimus lowered their cannons, deactivating them.
"Did you find Skyfrost?" Optimus asked. I shook my head, no. "No Optimus she's wasn't anywhere we looked. But we know that Megatron's in the front of the ship. He'll know where she is." I reported.
"Then we shall continue to the front of the ship." Optimus ordered.
We all approached the door, me closest to it. I pressed my helm to the door and listened. As did the others.
"We seem to have some of your new allies onboard." I heard what sounded like Megatron. Most likely talking to Sky. She's in there! I was about to race in until I heard another voice.
"Lord Megatron just let them leave. I'll take care of them." I heard her say. My optics fluttered downwards, searching for an explanation. Confused.
Optimus had had enough he walked up and the doors opened. We all stood in the doorway, all visible by now.
Sky turned around to see me. Megatron was in there as well as Knockout and some other Decepticon I had no idea who he was.
Sky was near the door staring at me right into my optics.
"Run." I heard her half whisper. My optics looked into hers with disbelief and confusion. Megatron ran up and shoved her to the side. The 'Con who I didn't know caught her and helped he back up. He seemed very protective of her. I didn't like it.
Megatron started shooting at us. "Autobots retreat to the top of the ship!" Optimus ordered. We did as we were told. "Decepticons follow them!" Megatron demanded.
We reached the top and by now Airachnid and Starscream had joined the party.
"There is only one way out of this Optimus." Megatron said deviously. "Autobots prepare yourselves for battle." Optimus instructed.
Optimus charged towards Megatron. Arcee flipped and attacked Airachnid. Bee and Knockout shot at each other, while Bulkhead swung his hammer at Starscream. Which left me with my sparkmate. And the other 'Con.
I ran up to Sky. She brought out her sword and I stopped running. I took a few steps backwards. Confusion filling my processor.
She swung her sword at me recklessly obviously trying to avoid me. "Sky! What're you doing?!" I questioned as I grabbed her blade. "Just. Go Smoke." She chocked, sounding like she was about to cry.
The other 'Con ran up behind Sky and punched me in the stomach. "Don't touch her!" He warned. That's it!
"You piece of scrap! Who do you think you are?!" I shouted. "Names Nightblade! Smokescreen is it? I read your file!" He shouted back. "Hah! Am I meant to be impressed, Nightblade?!" I spat at him.
He swung multiple punches at me, I dodged all of them with tremendous skill.
He did the same.
Neither of us could land a single punch!
"Autobots! Retreat." Optimus called out to us all.
I quickly ran under Nightblades arm and grabbed Sky's arm. Dragging her behind me.
"Hey!! Get back here!" I heard Nightblade call behind me. It ticked me off, how protective of her he was.
I dragged Sky through the groundbridge.
Skyfrosts POV
No. I'm with the Autobots. With Smokescreen. I am so done for now. No doubt about it.
"Well done team." Optimus praised. "Wheeer.. . " Bumblebee whirred holding his arm. Energon was leaking, Knockout must've cut him with his buzz saw.
"Eep eep! Don't touch it! Here let me fix you up." Ratchet said leading the black and yellow 'Bot to the medical table. He got to work instantly.
"Frost you ok?" Bulkhead asked. I didn't answer.
"Why did you call Megatron Lord?" Arcee started questioning me. "And why did you attack Smokescreen, instead of escaping with us the second you saw us?!" She continued.
Silence. I didn't know what to do or say.
"Because. . . She's a Decepticon." Smokescreen said flatly, arms crossed.
I looked at him desperately, my optics full of sadness. His optics only showed a stern look mixed with sadness and anger. His beautiful blue optics had turned a cold icy blue now.
"A 'Con?!" Bulkhead shouted. Before I knew it I was jabbed in the arm with a needle, I'm guessing Ratchet gave me. I felt drowsy and dizzy.
"Get her to the cells in the back." Was all I heard before I blacked out.
I'm sorry Smokescreen.
