Cherreads

Chapter 21 - Ch 21. Lord is on fire

The danger alarm rang so loudly that it vibrated my ears.

Panic struck the Autobots' base. 

"What is this? How did the dome's durability suddenly decrease?" Wheeljack said, looking at the monitor.

Red light colored the hallway, danger would soon meet them.

The emergency situation causes several Autobots to run outside and see what's causing it.

Arriving outside and stunned. Mouth could only gape and eyes barely move, seeing the dome that protected the Autobots headquarters, cracked like glass. Looks like it's going to break.

"Something happened and it's... what could it be Optimus—..." Ratchet said.

****

"Dzzzzrrr!!!!" a loud bang.

Boltquick was pushed and rolled over several times.

They were finally in an area where the push effect was no longer there. They started to crawl and get up. Once standing they looked towards the field.

Boltquick started to step forward, but then froze and stared fixedly in one direction.

Nothing happened.

The push effect should have caused something big, the Autobots' base should have appeared in front of them by now.

"Cih..." Boltquick growled. He stomped his foot on the ground.

"That effect should bring up the Autobots' base," Boltquick said.

....

"Autobot HQ!!" 

A familiar voice spoke to Boltquick, the tone fierce and loud. 

A sound that shocked everyone, a sound that gave goosebumps, a sound that tensed the atmosphere.

Boltquick's group slowly turned their heads toward the source of the voice. Hearts pounding and breathing was short. And the commotion became silent.

The scary man was Megatron. He had stood up and was walking towards them. His red eyes were glowing, he was like a terrifying demon figure emerging from the smoke from the gust of wind.

Jaw clenched, forehead furrowed. He was angry like a fire that would burn anything that bothered him.

"What does that mean... Dreamsharper is dead?" asked one of the Decepticons as he saw Megatron had caught up with them.

Knowing the answer, Boltquick gritted his teeth, holding back the anger within him.

"I will kill you all if you don't return Justice to me!" Megatron said firmly and threatened.

"I'll get back at you, Megatron!" Boltquick muttered as he stared at Megatron and radiated some kind of strange energy aura.

A terrifying aura also vibrated around Boltquick, but this aura could only be seen by Megatron.

In addition to having the power of gravity, Megatron has the power to recognize someone from a kind of aura that radiates. So that makes him know, what someone's feelings are.

However, it should also be noted that there are certain people whose aura Megatron cannot see, such as himself, Optimus, Justice and Crima so far.

Moving on to Megatron and Boltquick's very tense conversation.

Megatron continued to walk, every step of his feet racing his heart rate. The atmosphere became very quiet, a sense of fear was in every member of Boltquick's group.

Among the beams, from what Megatron had seen, only Boltquick had a fiery red aura that rippled like fire.

Megatron stood close to Boltquick, looking up at Megatron who was bigger and taller than him. A position that compared their degrees, both strength and power.

"Welcome to Autobot headquarters, Megatron!" Boltquick's sharp gaze.

"..." Megatron remained silent, letting Boltquick.

But Boltquick was surrounded by many people who seemed ready to attack Megatron and surrounded Justice. Meanwhile Megatron stood before them, alone.

"Hypno energy... why didn't I realize this before?" Megatron said, staring intently at Boltquick.

But it seems Boltquick is not afraid of Megatron.

"Obey or there will be bloodshed, and when that happens, neither of your corpses will be left," Megatron said to Boltquick.

"Repeat what you said!" Boltquick seemed to challenge Megatron.

Megatron paused for a moment as he tightened his grip on his sword, soon he would slash Boltquick.

"Justice will only get hurt if she stays with you. She wants you to love her, but if something like this happens again, I'm sure you'll really kill Justice. She'll be used as bait, but she's also here to protect her from a cursed creature like you!... if you're still good, ask yourself... what you'll see before you die," said Boltquick.

Megatron is reluctant and cancels his attack.

"We are here fighting for our lives from what is left, it's already little, you devour it too, Megatron! Realize that you are the cause of all this, if only you had never been born, the Cybertron war would never have happened!" said Boltquick.

Boltquick's tears fell, "I hoped... when I returned there would be someone to welcome me... but... my mother is no longer there..., you are the one who created this betrayal. Megatron!!.. no matter how many bastards you have said... I don't care... Justice is safe in our hands, we will not hand it over to you so easily!!"

...

"Betrayal is the beginning of chaos that is the reason why the prosperous city of Cybertown is like hell. I don't care whose side you are on. I will forgive you as long as you restore Justice." —Megatron

...

"You only care about Justice... we pretend and keep looking serious... don't you appreciate that? All this time you've never cared about us... what kind of leader are you?" 

Boltquick returned to his sarcasm in a very cruel and sharp manner. 

Keep stalling and being patient as you prepare to draw your katana. Even though your hands are impatient to cut Boltquick, Megatron.

Silence and really only the sound of their conversation was loud and audible. While the others were silent, pounding with the atmosphere of Boltquick and Megatron's debate.

"Don't keep babbling there!!" Megatron shouted, roaring like a lion.

Immediately pounces on the victim. Can't stand it anymore, and it's annoying.

"Gyaghhhh!!!" the slash hit Boltquick's left eye.

The pain was excruciating, and blood flowed dripping from the elbow. Both hands reflexively covered the injured left eye, hunched over to endure the pain of the slash.

"Ahhhgg!! Gahh!!!" Boltquick screamed and groaned.

Some of his comrades immediately approached Boltquick. Then the others prepared their weapons, ready to retaliate against Megatron's attack.

Boltquick was immediately taken to the back to get away from Megatron.

Surrounding Megatron around him. Making it seem like Megatron is going to lose.

They then immediately attacked Megatron.

But for him no matter how many people he faces, even though his anger flares for the traitor, his goal remains only Justice.

The opponents were so many, just imagine half of the Decepticons' headquarters, which numbered in the thousands. All of them betrayed Megatron.

A mixture of anger and worry gripped him. But he remained steadfast in his principle of killing traitors.

Step and step, and the sound of thousands of people's shouts rang out. The sound of battle cheers.

One by one, even all at once. Some received punches and kicks from Megatron.

No matter what their attacks were, it was certain that it would not be easy to defeat Megatron.

A fight that shows how strong Megatron really is.

Megatron was still able to keep moving forward, and handle his enemies with great ease.

Even Megatron uses his Hypno Energy attack, which is gravity. Making some of the land there float and hit some other troops.

It's really sad, without any consideration or calculation to kill his own troops. A population that is almost extinct, is being slaughtered like this.

Some were cut in half, missing their heads, slashed from shoulder to stomach, organs spilled, green blood splashed and rained down on Megatron's body.

...

Still blinking a bit and his eyes felt sore. Justice had just woken up from his sleep anesthesia.

Vision is still blurry, trying to squint and try to see. Until slowly finally it starts to be seen.

The sight of Megatron slaughtering Boltquick's comrades indiscriminately there.

Megatron, realize that you're making things worse. Just look at Justice's shock.

Sitting in a cell, just waking up and witnessing something like this.

"This is a gift, because I have decided not to kill anyone again." Megatron's words echoed in his mind.

Violated by Megatron, unacceptable. If Megatron hates the person who betrayed him, what about his promise that he also betrayed.

"What happened?" Justice whispered in confusion. His face was silent and his eyes were shaking.

Grasping the bars that locked him, asking Megatron's actions. He couldn't say anything, but the trembling of his lips. Explained his disappointment.

Seeing so many people there who were already fatally injured and waiting for death to come to them. Meanwhile, Megatron continued to walk closer to Justice.

Walking on the ground that was covered in blood, and with a body full of blood. He was like an angel of death, he was like a killing machine without feelings.

And the pool of blood continued to pass him. There was only one person left in front of him, one eye closed after being injured. — Boltquick had not planned for what was about to 

happen in front of him.

He himself felt scared, he couldn't fight — only relying on his mind manipulation attacks.

Megatron stepped forward, and fear turned Boltquick's back. Before him was someone whose mind he could not manipulate. It seemed Hypno Energy would not be able to save him.

"Crickk!!"

The bars that locked Justice came loose.

"Just take him!" Boltquick thought, knowing he would not survive no matter what.

Obey? No, the Long-katana tightened. It seemed like Boltquick was going to end.

Zekk!!

Slash!

Blocking with his hand, he got slashed. Immediately weakening Boltquick. It hurt so much, especially when you saw your comrades die like that.

Letting go in resignation knowing there was no hope for life. If Boltquick was stronger, he could have killed Megatron.

Mind manipulation type Hypno Energy like his would not work against Megatron.

If only the Autobots' base had made it to the scene, it would have been an Optimus and Megatron fight scene.

Megatron raised his sword, it was about to fall and slash Boltquick. 

Not knowing what else to do, his eyes trembling with fear, could only silently stare at the sword that was about to land in front of him.

...

"Fire!!!" 

The sword is eroded.

Changed in a moment of surrender. With the arrival of someone long awaited, he was Optimus Prime.

He came and held both of his axe weapons, with the gap between his two axes stopping Megatron's slash.

His arrival saved Boltquick from the moment of death. 

But Megatron's long-katana can lengthen and shorten as needed. His sword was locked by Optimus, but then he shortened the sword so that it could be released.

Megatron moved back and kept his distance. Furious and gritting his teeth at the failure of his moment.

The appearance of Optimus changed the atmosphere.

Boltquick didn't expect it, even though he had given up, who would have thought that Optimus would appear and save him.

Then Elita-1 and Ultra Magnus just got there and decided not to interfere in their affairs, so they just watched from a distance.

Optimus and Megatron stared at each other, both feeling equally furious.

Megatron's actions were so cruel, the many bodies around Optimus made him furious. And his anger overflowed.

"Optimus Prime... ... ... Troublemaker, When you get closer, a disgusting aura overflows from you." Megatron said.

"Why did you kill them again? Isn't the war over?" Optimus asked softly.

"None of your business, Optimus... the traitor deserves this!" Megaton said.

"You speak as if this is commonplace?... Have you not considered punishing them?" Optimus said, challenging Megatron's argument.

"I told you, this is none of your business!" Megatron said.

"I am Prime... Even though you defected, the blood of the Autobots flows in your veins." Optimus said.

"But... remember your oath that you will never touch my life, do you remember that?" Megatron said and kicked the corpse under his feet.

"Of course I remember... Don't forget, you once called me a corruptor, my promises can't be trusted... so... fine... no matter how big the oath is, I will break it, because you have no right to control my life, Megatron," said Optimus.

These two brothers were having a serious and very heated argument.

"You bastard... ... wonder why you're my brother? and you're called my weakness?" Megatron wondered as he prepared to attack.

"We're tied, this time I'll be more serious... it's either you or I die... take over as you please after stepping over my dead body." Optimus said.

"I am stronger than you, remember that!" said Megatron.

Optimus then prepared himself and used his signature battle mask. And Megatron walked forward while holding his long-katana.

Optimus then also walked forward towards Megatron.

Soon a fierce battle between the two will occur.

To be continued....
