In Love With An Autobot

Chapter 17

It must have been hard for him, he wanted to see her, to hold her yet, all she wanted was her things, although, she mentioned about Megatron.

❝Where is Megatron...?!❞

〝Oh, now he listens! Congratulations, I couldn't tell you where he is but, I do know where he's going to be and you won't like it. . He mentioned about a supernova wiping the everything from existence here on earth. I heard that, he only wants the humans to be gone, Autobots and machines a like, can stay freely. They want to make this planet their own, because theirs and yours, died. He mentioned that the only way, he wouldn't stay here and kill everyone is, if I go with him. So, excuse me if I'm the one being selfish but, I see I'm doing you all a favour. I'm joining him, you get to stay here, on your new home and I get to leave with him.〞

She smiled, raising her fist into the air.

〝That's great news, right? You get to live peacefully with no more troubles,〞

❝Great for him. Not you. What was you thinking, Linkia..?!❞

〝What?! I was thinking of you, Bumblebee and all of you. You have a home, it's better than having him attack earth all the time. This way, it's just me, him and whoever else. He's already left earth in search of a new planet, one that hasn't got life on it. So, what's your problem? It's either me or the whole of the existence here. .〞

❝Because you'll be living in vein, there's a reason why he doesn't keep humans alive. What makes you think he'll spare you and not just come back anyway? You're putting yourself in jeopardy for us all..❞

〝Optimus, I'll be living beside him, as his pet. I just have to obey his every command, plus, I'm not a human. And anyway, I've lived my life, had what I wanted and lost what I've loved. What do I have to lose now? Nothing. . .〞

Optimus saw right through her fake smile, but did Bumblebee see it? She was right, they had a home here but so did she, she was protecting them.

A loud boom could be heard from the outside and everyone ran out.

❝It's shockwave...❞

❝Ya remembered me name? Well, good for you. Come now, pet. Lord Megatron has landed and is ready to leave. Think yourselves lucky you have this fleshling, I'd have killed you all... come now, it's time to go.❞

Linkia stepped forward towards the Decepticon, her body slightly shaking, was it fear or something else entirely?

❝Linkia, you don't have to do this. Please. . Don't go...❞

Bumblebee cried out, he went to go towards her but,

〝Stand down, soldier! If you come any closer I'll have no choice but to eradicate you. .〞

She said in a harsh tone, Shockwave picked her up and put her onto his neck. Optimus held Bumblebee close to himself, he saw the sadness they both shared when parting ways again, they had only just seen each other after three years nearly and he couldn't bare the thought of what would become of her and his friend as he watches her leave again. Shockwave leaves with her clinging onto him.

❝Why did you stop me?! I could have taken him out...❞

❝Listen Bumblebee, I've got a plan. We're not letting her leave nor are we letting Megatron live. He may be my brother but, he's gone too far. I will not standby and watch my family be torn apart again. Autobots, let's rollout...❞

He didn't need to tell Bumblebee twice, they all transformed into their car forms as they sped out and after Shockwave, Ironhide speaks through the radio link for all to hear.
