A Watch That Doesn't Tell Time

CH 15. Framed

In an abandoned M.E.C.H. base, rats scattered about as they ran through the empty pipes of the building. The noise of their feet echoed through the pipes and into the building as they ran around in search of food to eat. Eventually, the pipes led them over into a certain room of the facility, when a loud noise sounded off, sending them back from where they came

"Calm down, Kevin"

"Calm down?! He's out there enjoying all this praise while we're stuck in here like some stray dogs"

Emeri stood in the middle of the room with his eyes closed in concentration. Kevin's shouts were followed by a rusted hanger door being forced open as two pairs of clunky footsteps were heard. A newly fixed Blitzwing along with Starscream came in with the former of the two holding a mechanical core that was related to the bridge that led Megatron to Earth

"I don't see why I'm the one who has to carry the riff-raff" Starscream complained. Blitzwing wasn't the only one carrying something, Starscream carried both what remained of Dropkick and Shatter

Blitzwing ignored Starscream's complaining and dropped the heavy core next to Emeri, leaving a dent in the floor "We've done as you requested" He said in an unusually calm tone

He'd given up most habits of anger after your battle in New York. While Emeri was fixing him, he explained to him what he didn't understand. He knew what the Omnitrix was, he knew who you really were, and worst of all he knew that the scout he was fighting was actually a human child

"Thank you" He said as a green aura covered the core. Guiding it over into a corner, he left it there "We only need a few more pieces, and then-"

"I'm sorry, but when are we going to get to the part where we release Megatron and the Nemesis, from the sea?" Starscream interrupted

"When the Null Portal is made. Then you can have your precious leader back"

"Forget Silas, you said we'd deal with the twerps first!" Kevin shouted as his body involuntarily transformed into another alien "Just look at what he's done to me!"

Ever since your fight in New York, he couldn't stay in his regular human form for more than ten minutes before he changed into one of your aliens. It'd begin to become a problem when he'd just want to walk around for some alone time to himself "He and that pipsqueak are gonna pay for-"

"Enough!" Emeri shouted, tired of hearing complaint after complaint from the same person "These two get the memo. We do what we need to do, then we can go about our business. I know what I said, but Y/N isn't closer than Silas is right now"

"Your brother is right. We focus on the closest issue instead of going after something that would take hours to find" Blitzwing added

"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Kevin threw his hand at them, a sign of ignorance to their words before walking through the hangar door they had come from

While standing outside, he kicked a small pebble in frustration before a newspaper flew by and slapped him in the face. With a grunt, he pulled it away and got a look at the familiar face of Bumblebee

His anger was kindled once more after reading the headline. Morphing into Heatblast, he burnt the paper to ashes as his fury grew. He turned back to the inside of the base and paused for a moment, he didn't like sitting around while everyone else got to do what they wanted

"Sorry, Emeri. But this is something I'm not going to let slide"
