Chapter 12 - Promises kept

It was the day after the incident, and Y/N still couldn't get over how they almost killed Megatron by trusting the Autobots. Starscream had planned on collecting a large amount of Energon by melting some ice, but due to the cold temperature, Y/N had to stay inside and roam the ship. As they wandered, something caught their attention—a Vehicon with a scratch across their face.

Y/N: Decepticon, what is your name?

St3v3: My designation is St3v3.

Y/N: Too hard. Your new name is Steve. Now, how did you get that scratch on your face?

Steve: It came from Starscream.

Y/N: Huh, I figured. Umm, this may be a bit of a bother, but could you join me in a walk around the ship? I'm bored.

Steve: Sure, I don't see why not.

Y/N and Steve begin walking around the ship until they hear blaster fire coming from the medbay. They rush over, only to see Ratchet and Bumblebee heading toward Megatron.

Y/N: NO!

Y/N then wraps several tendrils around Ratchet and Bumblebee, dragging them out of the medbay and tossing them into the hallway.

Steve: Um, what do I do with this one?

Y/N: Huh?

Steve is seen holding the human, Raph, while Ratchet and Bumblebee recover.

Y/N: Um, just hold him for me?

Y/N then grabs Ratchet and slams him against a wall, knocking him unconscious. Now it's just Bumblebee. Y/N notices something off about the bot, as Bumblebee stares at them with an oddly familiar expression.

Y/N: This may be a stretch, but... Megatron?

Bumblebee nods before heading toward Megatron's body. Y/N steps aside as Bumblebee inserts a strange type of Energon into Megatron's body, then connects a cable from himself to Megatron. Bumblebee goes unconscious as Megatron rises from the table.

Megatron: Decepticons, your rightful commander has returned!

Megatron approaches Y/N in a way that makes them uneasy.

Megatron: Y/N, do not worry. I'll consider us even now. You saved my life, after all.

Y/N: Yes, sir!

Megatron walks off, leaving confused Decepticons and a very happy Y/N. That's when a whirring sound occurs as Bumblebee stands up. The Decepticons prepare to fire, but—

Y/N: Stand down.

Y/N walks over to Steve, taking Raph from him, and approaches Bumblebee.

Y/N: Though you may not realize it, you've served your end of the deal. So, I will spare you.

Y/N drops the confused Raph into Bumblebee's hand.

Y/N: BUT, if I ever see you guys again, I will remember how you tried to betray me! Now, get your medic and leave. I have to get back to serving Megatron.

Bumblebee retrieves Ratchet, and a portal opens behind them, which they cautiously step through.

Steve: So, um... now what?

Y/N: Well, Autobots were on the ship. Go deal with them. I'll be going with you.

Y/N and their squad of Decepticons head to the deck. When they arrive, they see Megatron beating up Starscream, with the Autobots in the distance.

Megatron: Y/N, get inside. We don't want you to freeze, do we?

Y/N: No, but I really want to beat the spark out of the two-wheeler!

Megatron: Hmm, fine. I'll let you have your fun, but if you freeze, I will leave you here.

Y/N: Deal.

Y/N hops off the ship, already feeling sluggish because of the cold. Bulkhead and Arcee stand ready for battle.

Y/N: Bulkhead, unless you want me to make you immobile, I recommend you stand down. I just want to even the score with this glitch.

Arcee: And why do you have a grudge against me?

Y/N: You broke the deal!

Y/N immediately wraps tendrils around Arcee's legs and slams her down on the ice repeatedly. Arcee readies her blaster and shoots a tendril, allowing her to break free and drop to the ground.

Arcee: NOW, BULK!

Y/N turns around, only to get shot in the face by Bulkhead, making them stagger. Y/N tries to regenerate, but to their surprise, they can't!

Y/N: Grr... curse this climate! You know what? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll see you soon. Bye!

Y/N extends a tendril to the ship, flinging themselves back onboard. Once inside, they finally regenerate their body.

Y/N: Not this time, but I will make sure she pays. Now, where's Megatron?

Starscream: AAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Y/N: Found him.
