Chapter 35 - Chapter 8 part 4

The pipe flew down and hit the Cybertronian's head as they went online as their optics made soft robotic blinking noises. They sat up seeing the Nemesis nearby before hearing footsteps. They bared their sharp teeth before hiding to make sure that they don't get caught. They saw their familiar teammate, Ionstorm grab the pipe from the ground before deciding to fly off as they crawled out from the bushes and thick grass. The Cybertronian was of course, Megatron. But he looked more to wear and his left optic had been blinded, only leaving a black void in place of it. His armour had been scratched out and the back of his head had a dent although it wasn't too deep to impact any internal structures.

He bared his teeth as he pulled out a rock that had been lodged in his own arm which was covered in Energon. He growled as he threw it far away from him before saying one thing that he could get out of his own throat "Starscream..." Oh how that fragger damaged him. He noticed the deep wounds that were on his legs, most likey from the fall he had experienced. He got up as he struggled to walk as his right leg had been impacted a bit. His Decepticon symbol had scratches at the edges as he could feel a small breeze sweep through his vulnerable form. He noticed the humid and hot atmosphere as he decided to get to the shade of the trees.

"Starscream, decided to overthrow me finally. But I'm not dead just yet! Such an idiot for deciding to do so." Megatron sat on the ground looking over his bloodied arm. He knew that he should probably get going to the Nemesis. But it was too risky to get himself seen. What if the Decepticons thought he was missing or worse, dead? He was going to be careful, even if it meant not getting what he wanted. He knew that the better choice was to find where Starscream was as he walked along the pathway. He heard noises in the bushes nearby as he perked up. With his weakened state, it was easy to get hurt and he had to get stronger. So he hid into the trees and climbed upwards into the branches as he attempted to see with his half blinded sight. It was a bit uncomfortable to see from his height so he went lower. He saw what looks to be a large blue-red Cybertronian which he recognised as Ultra Magnus.

Ultra Magnus seemed to have his own gun in his hand as his blue optics looked around the area. He soon said "Megatron can't be that far." He gave another moment of look through the bushes and trees before leaving the area as Megatron slowly came down. Megatron made sure that Ultra Mangus did not turn around as he frowned. "It's that foolish Autobot?" Megatron rolled his optic before walking through the shrubs. He noticed some changes that appeared to be there such as more plant life and some small holes that appear to be there.

He looked upwards before noticing something nearby, it looked to be a cave as he analysed it with a critical gaze. His footsteps were loud as they made small cracks in the dirt. His arm was slightly sluggish by his side as he looked downwards seeing moss grow in front of it and the craved out shape. He didn't check it out just in case a couple of Autobots were there as he backed off a bit "Rusty servos!" Megatron growled at himself "What the hell am I supposed to do with my own strength, I'm weak I got to admit unfortunately." Megatron knew that he should probably check the cave another time.

He heard more noises before showing his fusion cannon. He saw an Autobot coming nearby as they looked surprised "M-Megatron?" He staggered back before Megatron decided to kill him off with a hard punch to the chest and a shot. The Autobot stepped back seeing Energon all over his hands but he was not going to back down. The Autobot jumped and kicked Megatron in the face, which sent back Megatron a little and bruised him. Megatron growled before saying "How did an lowly Autobot kicked me!? I better deal with this myself!" Megatron charged towards the Autobot and stomped on his leg which caught the Autobot off guard. The Autobot felt pain all over his leg.

Soon Megatron fired a second shot shot to make sure that they were permanently dead. He felt a stinging feeling on his face from the bruise. He felt tense through his posture as he went to find somewhere to take shelter for now because he wasn't going to survive at this rate if he continued being in the open. The tall Decepticon went through the trees and into another open area before seeing something nearby. It looked to be possibly a bunker? Maybe something similar? He soon came closer and his guess was right, it was a bunker. He soon with much force as he could, ripped off the metallic handlebar and ripped it open as he opened the door.

The inside of the bunker was made by man-made steel and in the middle was crates and fuel tanks on the floor. There were small scratches on the floor and noticeably there was computers of different brands on the left side of the bunker. Megatron noticed the pipes that were attached to the walls as they went through all sides. But was most interesting was two large computers on the right sides that were attached by large cables to the ceiling and the wall. He soon noticed a post-it note on the desk which had the password for presumably one of the computers. He soon tested on the first computer, it didn't work. But when he tested it on the second computer...

It opened up and Megatron noticed that that the outlook look modern yet old as he noticed a folder that said: Encrypted. He opened it up as he saw a bunch of documents. Each of them were of different information such as viruses, incidents in the human world, historical information about wars and governments. But what caught Megatron's interest the most was about information about the potential alien like robots being on earth (which was technically the Autobots) and theories about their location and where they could be with concrete evidence. Megatron had a smirk on his face as he said "I'll figure on what I'll do later with this information." He soon turned off the computer and sat down on the crate, figuring out his next move.
