The Unexpected Prime (On Hiatus and Editing)

Chapter 10

A/N: I combined chapter 10 and 11 since the chapters were getting too short, your welcome!

>w<

We groundbridged to the coordinates near the cave at noon like as megatron requested, where megatron and optimus were waiting for us. There were also a few conditions that he added in the hard drive: I was to be securely chained, my partner would to be there to witness the exchange which was Bee, the final condition was for me to be draped in a white sheet. And that's how it went, me cloaked in a white cloth in a desert. 

The scorching hot sun was heating up the sand under my claws and me covered with a warm cloth, it felt like I was in a furnace. I walked beside Bee to stop close to the cave, the cool air was flowing out from cave washing over me, it felt amazing under the sun. I had to walk into the center between Bee and Megatron, my chains rustling on the rocky sand. Megatron pushed Optimus towards the center where I had stopped waiting. He looked in worst condition than Bee was when I rescued him, scars everywhere you look. His mouth drooling energon, dents in every corner of his body. 

'What did they do to you optimus?' I just felt like crying before him, thinking of all the pain he went through to hold back information on the whereabouts of the autobot base.

Optimus struggling under his cuffed hands and buckling joints to get across to me. He fell at my front clawed peds, he looked up towards my face plate.

"......Silver...." he mumbled weakly.

"Yes it's me optimus, you'll be back at the base soon." I responded gentle and soft in a whisper.

"I'll...come...back...for...you.." optimus staggered hearing the gruffness in his vocalizer as his optics were flickering.

"No need to worry for me optimus, this looks like was destined. I may not agree with it but as it seems, nothing can save me now. It's hopeless, good bye optimus." I said, I held back all my overwhelming emotions in my spark when I spoke those words to him.

I helped him up and he struggled towards Bee, he collapsed as Bee caught him. Bee nodded, now it was my turn for the exchange to be complete.

I hesitated for a moment, 'Is this my true destiny, to stand alongside Megatron as my new master?'

I proceeded towards him, every step felt like betrayal to my spark, hurting heavily as if I were watching my loved ones die in front of me while I do nothing but watch in horror. This would be the last time I would see Bee in his proudest moments. The exchange was finalized, I was with Megatron and Optimus was with Bee. I was beside Megatron, the wind blowing to the right, the cloth flowing with it against me.

A groundbridge opened behind us, "Our destiny awaits....silver" said megatron waving his servo toward the groundbridge.

I looked back at Bee and Optimus, I saw Optimus' optics flicker again. 

'My time in the sun was over and now I'm in the dark, nothing's gonna save me...' I advanced through the groundbridge with hopelessness in my spark, '.....I Can't Escape This Now.'

~(Now it's suppose to be chapter 11)~

When I exited the groundbridge, I found myself on the nemesis again. Vehicons were stationed a path way of two long single file lines. I stopped in shock of so many just waiting for the exchange to go successfully, even Knockout, Starscream, and Soundwave were there waiting a few feet away from me. Megatron was beside me, amused of my reaction.

"This is where you will be staying from this point forward Silver" Megatron spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"You may return to your duties now, dismissed." ordered Megatron to the troops.

The vehicons left scurrying off in different directions and all who remained were Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, Knockout, and I. We were walking towards medbay, as we walked vehicons glared, scoffed and whispered. They eyed me as if my species shouldn't have ever been forged. So I kept my head down, the white cloth was still draped over me. My chains were dragged across the cold, smooth floor of the nemesis. 

We arrived to the medbay, I went inside with knockout while Megatron waited in the command center till I was ready. Knockout took off the white cloth, he saw what he had not seen before. A beautiful creature as good for battle and in style. Knockout laid me on a table and grabbed a small flame lighter, he melted away my scratched up decepticon insignia and imprinted a shiny and cleaner decepticon insignia. I belonged to the worst bot in all of cybertron, my new master was Megatron. 

I sighed, "What's wrong Silver" knockout asked amusingly

"Why would I tell you, Decepticon!" I barked at him angrily growling.

"Don't need to be all tense, besides you've got no one else to go beside Lord Megatron. So why not cut to the point and lets just be allies and get this through your lavishing helm: you can't leave."

I was shocked at his response to be so harsh and rude, I turned my helm away from ashamed. 'He's right, I can't ever leave this horrid place.'

"Why the long face now doll?" he asked being a little considerate reaching for my chin to face him.

"I can't ever leave, it's terrifying. What would you do if you can't leave the place you hate the most?" I said.

"Well my dear, I would at least try to make some conversation. With that attitude, you would get nowhere beyond the point of discomfort. Besides I've been needing of some company actually, been lonely working on this ship, without starscream bothering me, for awhile ever since my assistant left me."

"Who might that be doctor?" I asked 

"No need for formalities doll, call me knockout as my pleasantry." knockout hummed bowing his head a bit.

"To answer your question dear, my former assistant was breakdown until he was dismantled by arachnid while dreadwing did absolutely nothing to stop him. So I am alone for a time." he complained. 

"You're not the only one knockout,....m-my brother used to say 'Keep your chin up, it is no time for grieving for your past, that's how you survive' that's how I'm here now" I slowly stammered with a small smile. 

"Sounds like an amazing bot, if I may ask what happened to the fellow?" knockout asked while buffing the insignia smoothing it.

"H-He....left my siblings on cybertron, to then find out solar cycles later that he..b-betrayed me for joining the decepticons. I heard that he got captured somewhere who knows if he still wonders the empty shell of our planet or left before it fell. Till then that's the last I ever heard of him." I answered, I felt a little crush by the memories appearing once more.

"It must have been rough going through that with you and your siblings but...sorry for asking this, but what was his name silver?" questioned knockout cleaning up.

"It was....SteelJaw" I spat as if his name was a forsaken word.

"Well all is done and clear now, let's head toward the command center. Shall we?" gestured knockout toward the door.

"Certainly" I obliged happily hopping off the table and walking towards his side.

'Maybe it isn't as bad as I thought it would be.'
