Chapter Twenty One To say the leader of the Decepticons was in a bad mood would be the understatement of the century.  Megatron was standing on the observation deck of The Nemesis, looking out at the night sky and relishing in the brief vacuum of silence.  His Spark was weighed down heavily by the loss of his human hostage.  How could he, the mighty and powerful Lord Megatron, have been overpowered by a tiny and unimportant human?  His processor struggled to understand the many different aspects of the situation.  Knockout had stumbled on her by pure chance, and had had the inclination to take the human female and bring her back to the ship.

Chapter Nineteen   Sky As the Nemesis descended toward the ground, I clung on to the now still energon claw and braced for the impact.  I trusted Alpha Trion would take care of the rest as I had honoured his request of disabling the ship.  It had been one of the most surreal experiences to date.  I watched the energy seep out of my hands and swirl towards the main generator.  On its way it twisted and changed shape, and I realised I could bend it to my very will.  I couldn’t quite grasp the magnitude of the power that was within me, and that fact frightened me.  I hugged myself to the claw and shut my eyes in preparation for the impact

Chapter Eighteen   As Knockout activated the cortical psychic patch, a strange foggy sensation came over my mind.  All the sounds around me grew distant and distorted, almost like I was going to lose consciousness again, but I did not.  Megatron was glaring at Knockout angrily and Knockout was frantically pushing on the console, desperately trying to make the patch work.  The foggy sensation was still in my head as Knockout tried a second time to activate the cortical psychic patch.  On the second failed attempt, Megatron left his berth and approached me.   ‘There is no point Knockout.  Her mind is impenetrable!’  As he said this

Chapter Seventeen   Sky’s POV   When I woke up, the first thing I was aware of was a sharp, stabbing pain in my left side.  I instinctively reached for Optimus and then snatched my arm back, remembering what had occurred earlier.  As I tried to sit up, pain shot through my left arm and my ribs.  I managed to sit upright, noticing that my hair was matted and sticky with dried blood.  My left wrist was horribly misshapen and I suspected it was broken.  A sound behind me made me spin around, and I fell back when I saw the sight before me.  Megatron was looming over me, a sinister look of curious obsession etched upon his face.  I scooted a

Chapter Sixteen On board The Nemesis   The leader of the Decepticons was not in the best of moods.  He stood in his private quarters, keeping watch on the main console which allowed him to keep an optic on his fellow nefarious Decepticons.  His processor kept straying into dangerous territory and that was never good for Megatron.  Currently, the thoughts going through his processor were of his treacherous second in command.  Starscream was a complex character, one that could not be underestimated.  Megatron had learned this lesson the hard way after the disastrous mission with Airachnid to retrieve the immobiliser.  Megatron was determined n

Chapter Fifteen   In the end dad got five years and he would be able to apply for parole after serving two years.  I was happy with the result and ecstatic with what Lucy had achieved.  We’d all gone back to base together, Optimus, Lucy, Agent Fowler and I.  Optimus didn’t say much on the drive home and I knew deep down it was because he was disappointed with the result.  Five years was a good sentence and the maximum that he could have received.  Agent Fowler and Lucy were sat on the couch together having a coffee and discussing the day’s events.  I was sitting with Optimus whilst Ratchet did a routine check-up of his assem

The Court Case: Conclusion   When I woke with ten minutes to spare of our recess, I felt much better and a little more energised than before.  I was still in Optimus’s hands and they were deliciously warm.  I didn’t want to come out of my safe place and face my father again, but hiding from him wouldn’t make it go away.  I sat up and Optimus raised the hand that I was on.  His noble face was full of concern and his eyebrows were up in that worried way of his.   ‘Sky, are you alright?’  I nodded and stifled a yawn with the back of my hand.  ‘Can you go back to the court?  I can arrange for Agent Fowler to t

Optimus’s POV I catch her head before it can hit the ground.  Cradling her in my arms, I lift her bridal style and turn my back on her father.  Agent Fowler is at my side at once, regarding the scene behind me with wide eyes.  In my rush to get to Sky, I did not notice the sight that was currently unfolding before me.  I turn around again to face everyone, my grip on Sky tightening protectively.  Her father is on the opposite side of the courtroom from me, lying on his back.  His suit and thinning hair are ruffled from his rather impressive fall.  If I was capable of gasping, I would have done at that moment in time.  Accessing my memo

The Court Case Part Two   Optimus parked in a space that had been specifically reserved, it even had his name on a cardboard sign.  Agent Fowler hopped out of the cab and turned to face me, holding his hand out to me.  As I unbuckled my seatbelt, Optimus’s holoform materialised next to Agent Fowler.   ‘Thank you Agent Fowler, but I’ve got this.’  Agent Fowler stepped back and went to wait at the entrance of the court building.  Getting out of the cab was a little difficult because of the dress I was wearing so Optimus put his hands under my arms and lifted me easily out of the cab.  As we walked towards the entrance,
