Megatron's POV:

I was surrounded. Bumblebee had been knocked out. I stayed near him. I swore to never let them get their claws on him. I kept my stance wide, my blade the only thing keeping them at bay. I grit my teeth, ready to slash if I needed to. One decided to take a step closer so I swung my blade in their direction. "STAY BACK!!!" I shouted. 

"Careful..." Soundwave spoke. "He may not remember us, but he's still knows how to fight..." I looked up at my old friend. His face was covered, so I couldn't tell what he was thinking. Not without a good look at his face.

"What do you want?" I finally spoke. "Because if your plan is to destroy this planet, then I won't let you!!!"

"That's not what we came for..." He insisted.

"Then why did you steal human technology?" I asked, confused. 

"To get your attention..." he replied. "We simply just want you to return to the nemesis... We came for you..."

"Why me?" I asked. "What's so important about me?" He hesitated. 

"You are our leader..." he spoke. "Our only hope to the Decepticon cause... to revolt against the Autobots..."

"But why?!" I asked. "Why do you feel the need to fight?"

"You were the one who started our revolution..." Soundwave replied. "You gave us a reason... the courage to fight for ourselves..." That's right, I too was worried for our own safety, but... The war had ended, hadn't it? Why are we still fighting? I looked up at my old friend. 

"You have yet to answer my question...Why are we still fighting?" I asked once more. 

"The Autobots only care about their authority to rule..." he spoke. "They are afraid of letting those lower than them gain control..."

"That's not true..." I spoke. "This is all just a misunderstanding... We are afraid of each other. There is no reason to continue fighting..." He hesitated. 

"I see..." he spoke. "It seems you have been manipulated..."

"What-" They all got closer. I grabbed a hold of BeeBee, who seemed just as confused as me. 

"Megs? What's going on?" he asked. 

"Call a groundbridge..." I muttered. I shot at anyone who tried to come close. Eventually, a groundbridge was called. We went for it, but before I could get anywhere near it, I was electrocuted and pinned down. 

"MEGATRON!" I heard Bee shout. I slashed at the mute. 

"Bumblebee, get to base!" I ordered. 

"B-But-"

"NOW!!!" I shouted, as I got shoved down again. I watched to make sure BeeBee had made it through. Once he made it through I felt a quick sharp pain burn through my entire frame, and suddenly my vision became blurry, until I was completely lost in darkness.

Optimus's POV:

Bumblebee just crumbled in tears. Our only hope for ending this war was taken. It was my own fault. I should've taken things more seriously. This is exactly what I feared would happened if I decided to let my guard down. I've learned my lesson. "Optimus!" Arcee spoke. "What do we do now?" Everyone looked towards me for answers. I honestly didn't know what to do, but I couldn't tell them that. I'm the only hope they have left. 

"We will get him back..." I announced. "One way or another..."

(At the Nemesis)

Megatron woke to a bright light shining in his face. He winced, still in pain from the electric shock. "W-What?..." he spoke.
