Y/N was back in the medbay, making sure Megatron was properly treated by Knockout and Breakdown. When they had to leave to take care of something, it was just Y/N and Megatron.
Y/N: ............ Who's there?
It is then revealed as Arcee and Bumblebee walk into the medbay.
Y/N: I recommend you leave.
Arcee: Yeah, and let Megatron live? And whatever you are?
Bumblebee: Whee woo.
Y/N: I would like that. Is your main purpose here to finish off Megatron?
Tendrils start to erupt from Y/N's back as Arcee puts her hand up to the side of her head, talking to someone.
Arcee: What? ... Yeah, and like goop over here will let that happen... No... Hmm, fine.
Y/N: What is it?
Arcee: Look, we're not here to fight. Our leader has been bedridden by a virus, one that only Megatron knows the cure for. Since he's bedridden as well, let's make a deal.
Y/N: What kind of deal will stop me from lowering your numbers from five to three?
Arcee: We do a psychic patch with Megatron, allowing one of us to go into his mind and extract the cure, while also making it so Megatron wakes up.
Y/N retracts their tendrils, looking at the Autobots in astonishment.
Y/N: If you can cure Megatron, then do as you please. I will help in any way needed!
Arcee: Um, okay?
Bumblebee: Wee boop. (Translation: Talk about mood swings...)
Arcee: Alright, all we need to do is find someone to enter his mind.
Bumblebee: Wee woo.
Arcee: You will?
Arcee then plugs in a cord and connects it to Bumblebee, making him seem to go unconscious.
Y/N: Did it work?
Arcee: Seems like it.
Y/N: Okay, now what?
Arcee: We wait.
Y/N: How long?
Arcee: Until it's done.
Y/N: How long will that be?
Arcee: ...sigh
Y/N: Sorry, it's just... I'm not supposed to let Autobots anywhere on the ship. I'm supposed to kill you guys on sight!
Arcee: Yeah? Then why didn't you?
Y/N: I like the yellow and black one.
Arcee: ... Like, love him or...?
Y/N: No, I just like his attitude. It's like a child's.
Arcee: Huh, me too. ...Anyway, what are you?
Y/N: A slime.
Arcee: And what's that?
Y/N: Ask your human companions.
Arcee: You know about them?
Y/N: Yes. They're quite weird to me. I don't know whether to see them as food, an enemy, or a neutral party.
Arcee: Wait, food?
Y/N: Yes, I can eat pretty much any material, but I'm pretty sure I'm made of Energon.
Arcee: Living Energon? How is that possible?
Y/N: I... don't remember.
Arcee: Huh. Well, one more question—what is it like working for Megatron?
Y/N: It was nice. I saved him from a big part of the blast that came from the portal. Though ever since I recovered, he's been asleep.
Arcee: Huh, so you saved him?
Y/N: Yep! Now it's time for me to ask a question. What is it like working for Optimus? He seemed scary last time I met him.
Arcee: Optimus is like a father figure. He's mostly serious but would sacrifice himself for us in a moment's notice. And so would we for him.
Y/N: Huh. Well, I hope he gets better then, so he can die a more glorious fate than from a virus. Hehe, Megatron would be furious if he died like that!
Arcee: So, Megatron would be fine if Optimus got cured?
Y/N: Yes, though he wouldn't show it, he would be happy to be able to fight Optimus again. ...So, how's Bulkhead's knees?
Arcee: Huh? Oh yeah, though he couldn't move for a while, he got fixed up by our medic.
Y/N: Hmm.
Arcee: Why do you work for the Decepticons, anyway? Don't you know they plan to rule or destroy this world?
Y/N: Yes, I know. But they've done so much for me and treated me kindly. I have to help them, or I would feel guilty for eternity.
Arcee: I see.
Y/N then hears Starscream approaching and quickly picks up Arcee and Bumblebee, putting them behind some boxes.
Y/N: Stay here and be quiet. I'll try to distract the group.
Starscream, Knockout, and Soundwave walk into the room as Y/N stands in front of Megatron.
Knockout: Simply put, Megatron could remain in this slumber forever.
Y/N: Not forever, hehe.
Starscream: Our master would not have wanted to be seen this way. To stand idly by while he remains captive in his own body is unjust.
Starscream says, obviously not holding any sentiment. Soundwave then points to a monitor showing brainwave activity.
Knockout: Brainwave activity not resembling consciousness, but of a dream he may never wake up from.
Starscream: Soundwave, we must face reality. Megatron is lost to us.
Knockout: The only honorable option is to show him mercy.
Starscream: A simple throw of the switch.
Y/N: Go ahead and try it.
Starscream: Are you challenging your leader?
Y/N: You are not my leader!
Starscream: Soundwave, do I take your silence to mean you concur with Knockout's expertise? Speak now or forever hold your peace.
Starscream places his hand on Megatron's life support. Y/N quickly grabs his hand and tosses him away from Megatron.
Starscream: You fool! What do you think you're doing!?
Y/N: Prime order, protect Megatron!
Suddenly, time slows as Y/N hears a blaster fire. They turn to see where the noise came from, only to see Arcee with her gun drawn, the barrel sizzling. She and Bumblebee quickly head through a portal while Megatron's life support cable becomes undone as the laser hits it. Y/N quickly grabs it and reattaches it to Megatron.
Y/N: ..........
THAT GLITCH!!!
