If Only

Chapter 25

***

I was being taken to the 'Doctor's med-bay' as they called it, for questioning. Not much was said about it, just that I had to speak or I would be killed. I had a good choice, I have to say.

The halls were musky, and the walls covered with some green substance. The wires would constantly flicker, on and off to even come close to electrocuting me. The air was thick, while the lights were very dim making it hard to see. However, I was being lead by Barricade who tread in front of me. While as Frenzy, I learned his name to be, walked behind me.

The only distant noise that I heard to my ears was the pitter patter of my feet and the large robots feet beside me. Echoing through the halls, his foot falls seemed so large. Although there were robots larger than him.

I couldn't help but notice my arm was going numb, swollen, I held it close to me as we entered a large doorframe with Megatron waiting for us.

"Are you ready to answer, human?" He fumed.

"I'm not sure, are you ready to apologize for breaking my arm?" I mocked, tapping my foot.

Not going to put up with my attitude today, I was tossed into a metal slab. Crying out in pain, feeling the metal slide against my arm, I tightly shut my eyes. Only to reopen when I could hear the small patter of feet on the metal sheet under me.

Looking to my side, the small Cybertronian had 6 pointed legs. Along with that, his eyes were blood shot red.

"I need to know about N.E.S.T, Doctor." Megatron ordered, whom I'm guessing to be the Doctor.

"N.E.S.T!" The small bot' screamed, inching closer to my face.

Starscream, Ravage and Laserbeak entered the room just then as well, all speaking of their glitches I had mentioned yesterday, all seeming distraught.

The doctor reached closer to my ear, as the same codes popped up in my brain once more. The same as when Starscream had touched my mind. Again I could see images, all forming in my head of war and many other things. He was a doctor, I could see that. He also had another name, Scalpel.

As the codes surrounded my head, I controlled them to do one thing in specific. Taking control over the Bot's mind, I watched as he crawled back up to Megatron. He no longer had control over himself, but I did. I was the one making him walk, and now, talk.

"I found what you needed, Megatron."he bowed, standing on his hand.

"Tell me."

Smiling, I think back to the simple codes. As the Doctor stares up to the warlord, motionless, he pulls out a dagger and stabs it into his hand. Megatron growled in return, tossing him off his hand, but I already got what I needed.

"What did you do?!" He howled, pointing to me.

"You're an idiot." I pestered, using the codes I now had that Scalpel gave to me once he stabbed his hand and gave him a nasty cut.

"I'm an idiot." He agreed, the same as Starscream, before shaking his head and looking at me with pure rage.

Before he could scream once more, I began again.

"Punch yourself in the face, Megatron." Smiling, I watched as he did so. Also chuckling as the other Decepticons stared dumbfounded at their leader.

"No!" He stammered. Pulling himself together and shaking his head, he pointed to Barricade. "Take her back to her cell. We will deal with her later."

As I was being taken back, I could over hear their discourse. Something about their weaknesses. Also about their departure of the ship, that no one could know of such weakness. For them, a new base was to be made, and I was going to be left behind.

Shoved into my cell, I wrapped my self up in the remains of my jacket. I was freezing, but how was that possible? At average, it was never this cold in Arizona. It got cold, yes, but not to this extent.

Recalling one family trip to Colorado, we saw snow for the first time. Aaron and I begged our parents to go Skiing. That's where we ended up traveling. The mountains were great, but not for a beginner. It was definitely odd considering we were so accustomed to the Arizona heat, and not having to wear large coats. Other than that, we had a great time. Wish I could go back now, skiing was great. But I have no one to go with now. I'm afraid going alone would be boring and who knows if I'll ever leave this dungeon.

"I'm cold."

"I would recommend you be quiet." Barricade warns, not paying me any attention.

"I think I might be getting a fever." I continue, worried it might be true.

If I were to be getting a fever, that would mean my arm is getting infected. Not a good sign. The Autobots better get here soon, I'm counting on them. If I happen to somehow survive this, I'm so going to make fun of them for it

"Can you ever be silent, human?"

"I'm hungry. You can't just keep me here without feeding me."

"Silence!"

"No. I don't think so, robot. I'm hungry, getting a fever, my arm is killing me, and I have a loser as a guard. What can get worse?" Chuckling, I continued as I leaned my head against the metal behind me.

That's when Barricade was called away from his post. Shooting me a glare, he simply left with nothing more. They did say they were going to leave, with me alone. I had brought up what weakened them, not sure why that meant they had to leave. Although, I did hack into Megatron's brain as well as Scalpel's and Starscream's. They probably weren't too happy about that.

I still needed to count on being found, it would be hard though, wouldn't it.  With not a single Decepticon nearby to go by, how would they ever find me. I'm still quite small, with my human stature I blend in and would be hard to find with so much ruble nearby. I had my hope though.

Once I repositioned my arm again, in an attempt to comfort it, my head began spinning. With my breath becoming shallow, hard to breathe, I took a few gasps of air and laid on the hard ground beneath me. Shutting my eyes tightly, one last time, I drifted off to sleep.
