Megatron's twin

57:Happy Cremations

I woke up chained to a large table. I checked with Egg by sending some confusion over to her. I received the same back, so she was fine.

I looked around, I was in a hanger surrounded by some green human-dudes wearing goggles.

"I'm pretty sure that's not the modern style." I told them and they all looked over to me.

Normally I strive with attention but the vibe these guys were giving off didn't seem positive in the slightest. I ain't vibing with them.

"Who are you guys anyway?" I asked and a human, with no mask and a huge scar, stepped forward.

"We are MECH-" He begun.

"You're all called 'MECH?'" I interrupted.

"No-"

"Then why did you say 'We are MECH?'" I asked, I could visibly see his frustration and I cracked up inside.

Egg was confused, still.

"Okay, so you kidnapped me." I started my summary, for Egg, as no one seemed to know of her. "That's illegal." I pointed out. "And you just told me all your names. Soo, there goes your identities. I could sell you out to the police?" I wondered. "Is that how human law works?"

"Kinda." One of the green dudes said.

"Okay, so what's next?" I said, excitement building. "Do yo want me to get you all arrested?" I asked.

"No, this can go either two ways." The boss guy said.

"Why two? Can you get more creative?" I pushed his buttons.

He let out a large, frustrated sigh. "Because you are Megatron-"

"Nope." I interrupted.

"'Nope?'" He asked.

"I'm Quillux, Megatron's twin. Yea, everyone gets confused at first." I explained.

"Then there's only one option." He said grimly. He believed me, that's nice.

"Lets hear it." I told him.

"Start the tests." He ordered his men.

"You're giving me a Shockwave-y vibe." I told him. "What kind of tests?"

"Tests to get familiar with your biology." He explained. "See you do under certain chemicals," He began listing, "What can melt your metal." I cringed. "Those kind of tests."

"Do I have the option to say 'no'?" I said and tried dialling up Megatron. I got nothing.

"No."

"Why isn't my com working?" I asked.

"Your signal is being blocked." He told me.

"You're being very informative, perhaps you could tell me how to get out of these chains?" I asked.

He glared at me and left.

I looked down at the green dudes. One with a syringe was looking at my cables and back at the tiny syringe.

"Ah, Gary?" I heard him ask another.

"Yes Pete?" Gary asked back, his shoulders slumping as he turned.

Pete gestured to the tiny syringe and to my giant cables. "I don't think this will work." Pete said and Gary nodded.

"But how do they get the energon in their systems? I've only seen one inject it." Gary questioned and a few others were listening in too.

The both looked up to me in question. "Through our intake." I told them and they looked around confused. "Mouth?"

I'm helping them torture me, great.

"Oh." Pete said.

"You got any high grade? You'd get interesting results with that." I told them.

"What's that?" Another asked.

"Highly concentrated energon. It's like human alcohol." I explained and the humans exchanged looks.

"Found it!" A green dude yelled from another room and came in with a massive syringe on a large trolley.

I shrunk down, I hated needles.

They filled it with some chemicals, raising my panic levels. But my spark was fine, perhaps the shock they gave me earlier numbed it. It also blocked the bond to Megatron. But not Egg, well our sparks are basically one because we got a piece of it in us.

Suddenly they infected the stuff.

Surprise, nothing happened. "Ouch?" I questioned and the green dudes looked at me.

Still nothing.

"Get the next one." He said.

What's happening? Egg asked.

I paused, then grinned widely, the humans were confused now.

I heard you! I told her excitedly and got some excitement back.

Suddenly one human, removed a large plate of my faceplate, about half (left side). Ouch, how did I not notice that? I would be hideous now! You could probably see all the wires and cables.

They removed half my faceplate. I told her.

That's not good. Would you mind letting me out? She asked politely.

Sure, I love your manners.

Thanks sweetie. She said.

A human injected me with something else and I let Egg out.

After a bunch of fire and Egg melting the chains, the humans fled and we left. "Oh, Egg. You were amazing!" I told her as we walked away from that place. It was getting a bit dark.

I know. She said. We walked a little more.

"I think the chemicals are taking affect." I told her once the base was out of sight and she looked up at me. "My internals hurt like frag." I said and paused to lean on a large boulder.

Your faceplate doesn't look to good either. She said.

I coughed up some stuff and spat it out, it was purplish-green. Egg looked at it and waved me over. "I don't wanna look at it." I told her, she glared at me and I complied.

"Is that... Bits of metal?" I asked her and she nodded.

It's dissolving your internals. She said grimly and I looked at her as if this was one of those, 'I'm kidding.'

"Really?" I asked.

She nodded.

I tried calling the 'cons again, nothing. I tried the Autobots, nothing. "I can't com anyone." I told her.

Use the spark-bond you smart aft. She flapped her wings.

"I tried that before, lets see if it works now."

Megs? I started.

Oh, so now you answer me. With the Autobots again? He snarled.

Heh, no. Stupid humans-MECH. I explained. Look, I'm in a pickle. I told him and opened my chassis so Egg could get in me, she did.

Pickle? A human food? How did you get in something so small? He asked.
