OptimusofPrime: Ugh…Freshman Orientation has got to be the worst time. For anyone.
BulkingUp: ?????
OptimusofPrime: Sentinel has all of us in the council running around handing flyers out to the newbies. I hate to say it, but some of them are vicious.
BuzzyBee: Haha! Get fucked!
Prowlaround: Your username makes you seem a lot nicer than you are, Bee.
BuzzyBee: do you think I care, Prowl?
Prowlaround: Yes.
BulkingUp: What else is happening? We haven’t seen you all day and it’s almost the end of the day
OptimusofPrime: It’s a long story. I got here late because my mama’s sickness was acting up and I had to take a couple of hours to help her get back. Because I got here late, Sentinel assigned me the duty of cleaning up after the freshman.
BuzzyBee: Did anyone else see that giant junior with the dark gray hair that covered their eyes and the bright pink tattoos lining their arms???
Prowlaround: What?
BulkingUp: Excuse me?
OptimusofPrime: Oh yeah, I saw her.
BuzzyBee: You did? What’s her name?
OptimusofPrime: The junior who I talked to who seemed to be right up next to her said her name was Smite. And the one I talked to was named Hymn.
BuzzyBee: Her name is Smite? Damn, she sounds badass!
Prowlaround: Don’t get your hopes up Bee, I don’t think she’d beat someone up for you if you just went up to her and asked.
BulkingUp: ^
OptimusofPrime: Sorry guys, gotta go, ttyl
2 September, 1:24
BuzzyBee: I meet the junior!
BulkingUp: Primus. What happened Bee?
Prowlaround: Yes, please tell us
BuzzyBee: Was that sarcasm Prowl?
Prowlaround: Oh no, of course not. Why wouldn’t I like to listen to you talk about your rather quick interaction with the cool junior, hmm?
BuzzyBee: Now you’re just being mean.
BulkingUp: The junior please! What was she like?
BuzzyBee: Oh right! Well she doesn’t talk much, but when I did hear her talk, oh my Primus. Her voice literally sounds like an instrument, not kiddin
OptimusofPrime: Huh, I didn’t even think about her voice. I just thought that she was really nice even without it.

SPrime: Well I need you here now. It seems you already have a small fan group as a junior going by the name Hymn has started asking about you.
OptimusofPrime: Hymn? Where is she?
SMJazz: Last time I saw her, she was walking down the east wing towards where most of the sophomore classes are supposed to be.
Jettingthefire: Yes
Jettingthestorm: Me saw that too!
OptimusofPrime: Okay. I'll attempt to find her after I help the freshman.

Blitzingthroughlife: Have any of you seen that giant junior that joined today?
Blitzingthroughlife: With the little oen following her? HAHHAHA!!! They seem adorable together!
Luggernaught: Calm down Blitzwing. We don’t need to lose our heads over this.
Blitzingthrouhglife: Who’s going to lose their head?
Shockinglyontime: Seriously though. Look at these two
Shockinglyontime: Bigandsmalljunior.png
Megabitch: Damn. The bigger one looks like she could beat the shit out of everyone at the school and hardly break a sweat.
Arachnidphobia: Yeah, your’e not wrong. I wish I was there to experience that you guys.
Screamingatthevoid: There, there Arachnia. You’ll be here in a few weeks, right?
Arachnidphobia: Depends on if I’m feeling up to it.
Striker: Hey, has anyone else noticed the small Prime running around school as he takes orders from the big-chinned idiot that runs the Autobot council or is that just me?
Megabitch: Small Prime? There’s a small Prime?
Shockinglyontime: Yeah, names Optimus Prime. He’s one of Sentinel’s main victims for verbal abuse. Really you guys, you should see the group chat
Airachnidphobia: Weren’t the two of them supposed to be good friends?
Shockinglyontime: If they were, they aren’t anymore. It’s more like Optimus is Sentinel’s verbal punching bag, it’s quite sad y’know
Airachnidphobia: Huh. Well then.
Megabitch: Welp, we gotta get recruiting so we’ll ttyl Arachnia. See ya!
Airachnidphobia: See ya

BuzzyBee: Why does everyone think I have something planned???? I'm just going to see if I can find her again today. I might even convice her to let me ride on her shoulders!!!!
Prowlaround: Well, you'll finally be tall if that happens.
BuzzyBee: >:0 How dare you!

BuzzyBee: All of yoju are backstabbers! Except Optimus, you fine
OptimusofPrime: Thank you Bee
BuzzyBee: So, how's mama Pax doing?
OptimusofPrime: She’s doing alright. Better than yesterday at least, but she’s still a little unstable.
BulkingUp: Tell her we hope she gets better.

BuzzyBee: How are we going to deal with Sentinel today?
OptimusofPrime: What do you mean?
BulkingUp: Did you not see him this morning?
OptimusofPrime: No….?
BuzzyBee: Oh my Primus! He was literally screaming at one of the newbies because their teacher called in sick today and they were instructed to go to the cafeteria to wait for a substitute
OptimusofPrime: Primus help us.

Megabitch: Hey Shockwave, who’s the little Prime again?
Shockinglyontime: Prime.png
Megabitch: Yeah, I thought so. Do you know why he’s comforting a crying freshman in the stairwell? Does he do that normally or is that new?
Shockinglyontime: Oh no, he does that all the time. It’s why many of the student body goes to him other than anyone else really. He’s always super compassionate to everyone, even if they are a complete dick to him.
Blitzingthroughlife: *cough* Sentinel *cough*
Striker: In all honesty, many of the students who I’ve talked to always have something nice to say about him. I’ve never heard anything bad about him.
Luggernaught: Yes. He’s very highly regarded in the school.
Shockinglyontime: Considering what happened to him last year, I think people pity him more than anything. Especially because the way Sentinel treats him got out to most of the school.
Megabitch: What happened last year?
Shockinglyontime: Don’t know. But he was suspended for half the year and was in juvie the entire first week after that. There are a lot of rumors about it.
Blitzingthroughlife: I’ve heard two things.
Blitzingthroughlife: He killed someone.
Blitzingthroughlife: Or Sentinel did and blamed it on him.
Striker: Sadly, most of the Cybertronian High Council likes Sentinel, so even if he did something, he would still be in the chokee.
Airachnidphobia: I’ve heard a lot about some of the rumors and I have to say that Optimus doesn’t sound like the one to kill someone.
Megabitch: Well, if most everyone else thinks he’s alright I guess there’s no reason for me to say anything to either of them at the moment. I’ll just make sure they don’t get in trouble.
Shockinglyontime: Good luck.

Shockinglyontime: ಠ_ಠ
Shockinglyontime: Dude.
Blitzingthroughlife: Hey, has anyone seen Megatron?
Striker: I have. Saw him trying to get away from the big-chinned idiot Prime who was following him, yelling about how he should ‘just give up’ and that ‘everyone was on his side.’ Primus, that guys going to get himself punched one of these days.
Shockinglyontime: I really want to see Optimus punch him.
Screamingatthevoid: Blitzwing, why were you looking for Megatron?
Blitzingthroughlife: I wanted to get his recommendation on what kind of cereal to get for midnight munchies! Wouldn’t that be fun? Having all of you over?
Airachnidphobia: It’d be chaotic.
Blitzingthroughlife: That’s exactly why I’d want you over! Haha!
Airachnidphobia: Honestly, I would pay to see someone punch Sentinel. The ass.
Shockinglyontime: Right!? That’d be awesome!

OptimusofPrime: Well, Sentinel wanted all of us to help out with setting up and planning that big festival thing that happens every year, y’know, but everyone else is busy and we don’t exactly have time to be stalling. Since the festival is in exactly seven days.
BuzzyBee: Don’t they normally have the festival and all its activities planned by the beginning of the school year and all they have to do is set up the decorations and stuff?
OptimusofPrime: Yes. Normally. However…something happened to all of the previously planned activities and now we have a shortage on our hands.
Prowlaround: I might be able to help some of the times that are needed, but I’m most of the time going to be seeing Master Yoketron. Sorry.
SayingSari: I agee with Prowl. I can help sometimes, but not others because my dad wants me to help him around his lab.
BulkingUp: I need to work on my art project for the competition so I won’t be able to.
OptimusofPrime: Oh, okay. I’ll just ask around the school, see if they’ll help.
BuzzyBee: No offense bossbot, but I’m pretty sure that the only reason anyone helps the Autobot Council is because of you.
SayingSari: Yeah, I’ve heard from a lot of freshmen and sophomores and they all are saying the same thing.
OptimusofPrime: Oh. Really?

“...Fine, just, *sigh* tell me what you want.”
“I need you to start spying on Megatron.”
“What?”
“You heard me. Megatron is going to try something. Paired with the information we have from Longarm and the unease that’s been traveling throughout the school, I have a feeling Megatron’s going to try something. I need you to figure it out.”
“But Sentinel…I- but- why me?”

“Come on Bossbot, you need more clothes. I’m tired of seeing you in the same dark blue zip-up and black jeans.”
“Bee, I like those clothes. They’re comfortable and they help me blend in.”
“Bossbot, nothing should help you blend in with your outrageous ass bright blue hair.”
“Bossbot? Optimus I thought you were supposed to be working on the Autobot festivities.” Sentinel
“Oh shit.” B
“Sentinel! Uhm, I was. Or we were. Have been. We were just taking a break, y’know. You’re always at your best after you’ve rested a little.”
“This is unacceptable, Optimus! Do you have-”
“Excuse me, are we going to be having a problem here?” Store associate (Assoc)
“What?” S
“Oh! No, we’re…fine. Or we’ll be fine. But thank you.”
“I see you wanted to try on this blazer. I’ll lead you to the changing rooms.” (Assoc)
“That really is unnecessary-”
(The store associate looks towards Sentinel and flicks his hand towards the exit as he gently nudges Optimus towards the back of the store, where the changing rooms were)
“I suggest you leave before I have to have security escort you out.” (Assoc)
(Sentinel glares at the associate, then scoffs and stalks out, leaving the group alone.)
“Thanks for that.”
“Of course. I’ve seen you and the other one around school a lot and you seem like a really nice guy. Especially if you let that dick step on you like that.” (Assoc)
“Wait, you go to Cyber High?” Sari
“Yeah I do. I’m a part of Smite’s group.” (Assoc)

“Names Jeopardy.” (Assoc)
“No way. You’re friends with probably the coolest junior at school. How is she so tall?” B

“Yeah, I saw them waiting for our food to be ready. They’re probably still in the food court.” Bulkhead
“Cool! So, I heard that you all were looking for some new clothes.” (Assoc)
“Not really for us at the moment, more for Optimus since most of his clothes are just blacks and blues. We need clothes that’ll really make him pop. Can you do that?” Sari
“My dear child, I am the master at making someone pop . Let’s do this.” (Assoc)

Megabitch: Alright, start talking. This doesn’t seem like a regular earthquake to me and you seem as if you know why this is happening.
Arachnidphobia: It’s too much to explain over text at the moment, but the basis of it is that there’s this artifact or something which can supposedly create massive shockwaves that span across the earth.
Arachnidphobia: Shit
Megabitch: What?
Megabitch: What’s going on?
Arachnidphobia: If this is the beginning, the epicenter of those shockwaves, it means that the artifact is way more powerful than it had been throughout the entirety of history.
Arachnidphobia: We have to find Optimus now. He’s the only one who knows how to stop this.
Megabitch: Right, let’s do this.

(Distant shouts can be heard in the distance)
“Optimus, where are you?” Blackarachnia (Ba)
“Optimus!” Meg
(As they get closer, a small, blue haired head pops up from a giant crater in the ground of the shop)
“Hello?”
“Optimus?” Ba
“Help, please! Help! There are people hurt in here!”
(Blackarachnia and Megatron run into the store, finding Optimus and a few other people who were bleeding from various wounds on them in the crater.)
“Optimus! Who’s hurt the most?!” Meg
“Megatron…? What are you-? Ugh, that doesn't matter, here, the one laying on me is the worst hurt. I tried to patch her up the best I could, but I don’t think I did as good as I could’ve. Take her first and then I’ll start giving you the others.”
“What about you?” Ba
“...Elita?”
“...” Ba
“I feel like this is not the time to have a reunion. You two can talk about this later, right now, we got people to save.”
“Of course.You’re right. We’ll talk about this…later.”
“Yeah…” Ba
“Optimus, I need you to hand me the next person.”
“Here you go.”
(It takes the three of them around ten minutes to remove all of the other people from the crater and when it was finally Optimus’ turn, he slowly stood, worry morphing his face.)
“What’s wrong?” Ba
“I’m standing on some type of metal pipe or something and if I move too fast, it’ll break under me.”
“Optimus, just take my hand. It’ll be okay.” Meg
“Come on Optimus.” Ba
“I…can’t. I’m sorry. I really can’t.”
"Optimus, you need to give me your hand!" Meg
(Optimus reaches for Megatron, who had extended his hand towards him, but the chunk of floor that he is standing on shakes, making him careen backwards.)
"Optimus!" Ba
(Optimus lets out a scream of fear as he gets thrown backwards, and hits the opposite side of the crater. He twists, clawing at the side as he tried to keep himself from falling.)
“Optimus, hang on! We’re coming!” Meg
(The two seemed to be at a loss as they tried to determine how to get to the other. Then, there was another low creak and debris started falling from the ceiling.)
“Optimus, what do we do?” Ba
“Elita, Megatron, you need to go or you’ll both die with me.”
“Optimus Pax, I am not leaving you! I promised you were stuck with me, and you don’t get to run away from that promise now!” (Ba)
“Elita please. I lost you once, I can’t lose you again! Please, just go!”
“Oh my god you two, we are all getting out of here and we are doing this now! Arachnia, you start getting all of these people out of the store, I’ll get Optimus.” Meg
“Fine.” Ba
(Megatron looks around as Blackarachnia starts dragging the slowly waking up people out of the store. He slowly steps and maneuvers around to where Optimus is hanging and hoists the smaller teen up.)
“Come on.”
“Right.”

Megabitch: WHat?????? The hellllll
Arachnidphobia: that’s now what I was talking about!!!
Arachnidphobia: I’m talking about the earthquake artifact-thingyh! What did you think I was takling about?? Where do we find it?
OptimusofPrime: Oh! Yeah, makes sense.I know it’s on this floor. I can feel it. I don’t know which store or even where it is.
OptimusofPrime: I’m sorry! I didn’t think this could happen!
Arachnidphobia: okay, fine. We’ll once again talk about this l8tr
Megabitch: is there any sort of feelings youre getting from anywhere? Anything that can help us narrow this down?
OptimusofPrime: I do know that the temrors are coming the closesst from over here somewhere. That’s why I was in the candy shop but I didn't find anything there
Megabtich: alright, that means it’s somewhere in one of the three stores. If we want to get out of here with the others quickly, we’ll need to split up.
Arachnidphobia: I’m taking the makeup store. I ain’t saying no to free makeup.
Megabitch: thats what you’re caring about?!?!?!

OptimusofPrime: I’m not who brought the Storm Urn to the mall
Arachnidphobia: ಠ_ಠ
Arachnidphobia: mhm
Megabitch: If you aren’t going to explain how the thing go there, at least explain what it was
Shockinglyontime: Wait, it was an urn?
Striker: ^
BuzzyBee: Why in Primus’ name was there a magical urn at the mall?!?!
OptimusofPrime: I can explain the name and the magical part of it but why it was there…
OptimusofPrime: That’s something else
SayingSari: Alright then. Start explaining
OptimusofPrime: This is going to be a long thing so get comfortable
6 September, 2:46
SayingSari: So let me get this straight
SayingSari: Magic exists
SayingSari: You are a part of the magic community in some way because of your ancestors
SayingSari: Who by the way, founded the magical form of government
SayingSari: And because of this you’re a target
SayingSari: Did I summarize everything right?
OptimusofPrime: Well…like you said, that’s the summarized, short version
OptimusofPrime: There is a longer version that I won’t tell you unless in person
Arachnidphobia: Is that why, before your mom got sick, she was like…a fucking badass?
OptimusofPrime: Pretty much
BuzzyBee: Is there anyone else in our school thtat has magic or something?
OptimusofPrime: From who I’ve been able to sense, Smite, Hymn, and Jeopardy. And maybe their entire group.
BulkingUp: Really?
Prowlaround: We’ve had magical people surrounding us this whole time?
Shockinglyontime: That’s a boring question. An acutal question would be something like, ‘why in Primus’ name did the sotrmt urn creation peeps put an acutal vegeful spititir in an artifact!!!!!????’
Soundingthealarm: It is an effective way to make it so that if anyone steals anything, they get cursed.
Striker: I hate that I can’t argue with that logic
Luggernaught: Are there any other artifacts we need to look out for that we might need warning from?
OptimusofPrime: I don’t know for sure. I have one, but it’s pretty tame unless I have it around me for too long.
Megabitch: The hell’s that supposed to mean?
OptimusofPrime: It means that it feeds off my energy. If it gets too much energy, it’ll go I guess it can be called ‘haywire’
OptimusofPrime: The artifact was made to protect the one which can manipulate both auras which belong to non-magic using people and energy, which belongs to magic using people
OptimusofPrime: If it gets too much of ‘my’ energy, it’ll go into a protective-like mode and think anything is a threat unless explicitly told otherwise
Megabitch: Damn
Blitzingthroughlife: It must be so hard to not use that on Sentinel
Screamingatthevoid: Oh my primus, I cannot imagien the amoutn of restraint that would take
OptimusofPrime: No that’s actually really easy
OptimusofPrime: What’s hard is resisting the urge to manipulate Sentinel’s aura. That’s hard.
BuzzyBee: Hold on
BuzzyBee: if you’re magical and all that, does that mean mama Pax is affected by some sort of magical disease?
OptimusofPrime: Yeah…it’s a type of coma-amnesia thing that makes it so that she goes into long bouts of sleep from time and when she does wake up, she can’t really remember anything for a while
Arachnidphobia: Oh
Megabitch: that must be hard
OptimusofPrime: I’ve got used to it
OptimusofPrime: Dads trying to make a cure. It’s why he’s not there a lot of the time, and our income mainly comes from the company that dad works for because he’s doing a really dangerous thing for them.
BuzzyBee: That’s rough
OptimusofPrime: Look, I gotta go but if you have any other questions, you can ask them and I'll answer them when I can.

OptimusofPrime: Thank you but I’ll be fine. I’m really the only one who can take care of her and I don’t like not being there when she wakes up if I can help it
BulkingUp: Does Sentinel or Ultra Magnus know?
OptimusofPrime: No, but Ms. Arcee and Ratchet do and I think Perceptor and some of the other teacher’s know that at least something is weird with my home life that isn’t normal
SayingSari: Even if they don’t know about the entire ‘coma-amnesia’ thing, they shouldn’t be like that to you.
OptimusofPrime: Yeah. It’s alright. I’m…used to it.
Prowlaround: That’s the thing Optimus, you shouldn’t be
BuzzyBee: Yeah bossbot. This isn’t something a teen should be used to. We’re supposed to be having fun, going to parties, things like that. Not trying to keep two different dimensions from colliding and causing the apocalypse!!
OptimusofPrime: That’s not what I’m doing B. However powerful I am, I’m not the one who makes sure the dimensions are divided. But thank you for the reassurance.

Ratchet: Hey kid, I saw what happened.
Ratchet: Are you doing okay?
OptimusofPrime: Honestly Ratchet I don’t know
OptimusofPrime: I almost killed an entire mall of people because I wasn’t able to sense a simple artifact
OptimusofPrime: and then, while I was looking for said artifact, I somehow harmed five different people, and somehow trapped all six of us into a crater that no one could get out of.
OptimusofPrime: Megatron came over to help me. And remember what Sentinel wanted me to do to him?
Ratchet: Yes
OptimusofPrime: How am I supposed to stalk him when he saved my life and fixed my screw up?
OptimusofPrime: What’s worse is that I saw Elita again.
Ratchet: Oh. She’s alive?
OptimusofPrime: Apparently! She wants to talk.
Ratchet: Is she the Blackarachnia girl?
OptimusofPrime: yeah
Ratchet: Jeez kid. You really are having a tough time huh?
OptimusofPrime: mhm
Ratchet: You want to come over? I have room and am in need of some explanation to an antique I found a couple days ago.
OptimusofPrime: Y’know
OptimusofPrime: That actually seems nice. I’ll make sure mom has everything she needs if she wakes up while I’m gone and then I’ll head over there.
Ratchet: See you then kid.
OptimusofPrime: See ya. And thank you Ratchet.
Ratchet: Of course.

Summary:
Hymning: We found our hostling prince, princess
Smittenwithyou: Yes. However, he is fairly unstable and he is in need of guidance.
ItsJeopardy: Yeah, I agree. I was only around him for thirty minutes and I could already feel his power becoming a lot stronger by the second. He’s bottled up a lot, I can tell, and he needs to be able to let all of that out.

(Video Excerpt)
Islingterel Meadows, camera 02
7 September, 2:45
“Optimus, you made it.”
“Hi Eli- Blackarachnia.”
“You better start talking, now Optimus, or I’m leaving and this will be over.”
“...Blackarachnia…I really didn’t know you made it out.”
“Really Optimus! Really? IT WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS YOU ASS!!! I THOUGHT…I thought I had been left on purpose…and when I got out. Optimus, I don’t think you can comprehend the amount of pain I had been in.
I thought it had all been over…and then I thought that I would never have to deal with you or Sentinel again. But now look at me!!! I have to deal with you, and you have to deal with me. The monster your ‘friend’ transformed into! And now you expect me to forgive you?
“Blackarachnia, I never came here asking for forgiveness. I didn’t even come here for myself. I came here because I wanted to make sure you were okay after all that time that I wasn't able to.
I came because I wanted to make sure you were alive and this wasn’t some sick…twisted dream my mind had made up.”
“What happened with you being in juvie? What was that all about?”
“I was hoping you wouldn’t bring that up, but I guess it can’t be helped.
After Sentinel and I were discharged from the hospital, we had to go to court. It was the worst and Sentinel looked so scared and it had all been my fault so…I told them as such. I told them that I was the reason you got left in the cavern, that I had pushed you down there, and they all believed me. The only reason I’m still in the school is because Ultra Magnus and Sentinel paid for my bail and are still paying for…everything else.”
“...Optimus-”
“Anyways, I don’t think you’re a monster. If anyone’s the monster here it’s definitely me. Especially since I couldn’t save you and I had the ability to. If you don’t want to talk to me anymore, I understand. Goodbye Blackarachnia.”
(Optimus starts walking away, but Blackarachnia calls out to him, walking over to stop him from going any farther.)
“Blackarachnia-”
“Please…just call me Elita. I like it when you call me that and…the name sounds idiotic whenever you say it.
We have a lot to talk about…but I think we can make this work. And no Optimus, you're not the monster here. I know now how hard you tried to help me and…I appreciate the commitment.”
(The two smile at each other and Blackarachnia ruffles Optimus' hair gently.)
“So, how would you like to show Sentinel some…fun…during the festival?”
“What did you have in mind?”

OptimusofPrime: Who are you?
Pandemonium: My name is Pandora, I got enrolled into the school after I moved here and the admin gave me this number, stating that you’d be the one helping me ‘settle in’
Pandemonium: Whatever that means
OptimusofPrime: Honestly, I’m not surprised
Pandemonium: Oh?
OptimusofPrime: This isn’t the first time they’ve done that.

Pandemonium: I’m glad to hear that
OptimusofPrime: Wait a minute, if you’re such a popular figure in the magical community, why are you coming here?
Pandemonium: There have been some energy spikes in the area and they’ve been slowly getting stronger. The council wanted me to check it out before it gets out of hand
OptimusofPrime: Do you know what is causing the spikes?
Pandemonium: I have a hunch
OptimusofPrime: Do you think it’s me?
Pandemonium: You are one of the candidates
Pandemonium: And if it is you, that’ll be an easier fix than if it was anything else.
OptimusofPrime: Why?
Pandemonium: Because you can be trained and you understand the weight of what your actions are doing.

Megabitch: Oh. Then can you explain why he was saying you were supposed to be doing his job?
OptimusofPrime: →_→
OptimusofPrime: ←_←
OptimusofPrime: No…
Megabitch: Let me guess, it’s got something with snooping, me, and you hm?
OptimusofPrime: Oh, where did you get those thoughts?
Megabitch: When will you be free to talk about this?
OptimusofPrime: I have to help the jettwins with homework after school and that’s probably going to take an hour at least, those two are hopeless, and then I gotta get home so…4 maybe
Megabitch: Why don’t you call me hm?
OptimusofPrime: That would make this so much easier
Megabitch: Alright. I’ll tak to you after school then.
OptimusofPrime: Deal

Megatron -> Optimus Prime
9 September, 11:27
“Hey.”
“Are you going to try and convince me to sing?”
“No actually. You said we could talk about why Sentinel was snooping through my stuff.”
“Oh right. Primus, I don’t think I can tell you without you getting mad and then this entire…thing…we have going on will be ruined.”
“He asked you to spy on me huh?”
“You caught me. He did. And he still is pestering me about it. I don’t know what to do.”
“What if I make you a deal to avoid Sentinel’s pestering.”
“What do you propose?”
“Really? Alright then. We’ll start hanging out, y’know become friends maybe, and throughout that, I can say stuff that may or may not be possible plans for the future. It’ll be like you're actually doing something and you can thankfully avoid Sentinel. That is, if you’re up to it?”
“...
Sign me up Megatron. I want to do this.”
“Of course. So, do we have a deal?”
“Deal.”
“Great. This means that you’re going to have to sing at least one song at the festival on
Friday.”
“What? Oh you little…how dare you!”
“Hahaha. That’s what you get when you are my friend.
I’m also changing the group chat name.”
“Demon.”

Megabitch: What was that about?
OptimusofPrime: If I were to explain it to you, I’d have to explain hundreds of thousands or years of magical history and monarchy so I’m gonna make this long story short
OptimusofPrime: There is this certain family that is said to be ‘blessed by the gods’
OptimusofPrime: It’s also said they can heal anything. I believe you can see where this is going?
Megabitch: did someone from that family heal you mom?
OptimusofPrime: yeah. And ironically, she’s also going to be coming to this school tomorrow
Megabitch: Is she the new studnet that Smite and her group has been talking about?
OptimusofPrime: I’m guessing yes
Megabitch: Well that’s good
OptimusofPrime: I know right!
OptimusofPrime: anyways, mom was trying to get her out of her house and she was kinda trying to stab her with this enchanted knife and stuff but anyways
OptimusofPrime: She called me, mom and I tlaked an entire sentnece or so, and then I told her to be nice to the other and hung up
Megabitch: Huh
Megabitch: Well congratulations
OptimusofPrime: Do you want to meet my mom?
Megabitch: What?
OptimusofPrime: Well since we’re going to be friends, I just thought it’d be nice if you were to meet her
OptimusofPrime: it’s stupid I know. You can just forget it

Cybertronian High School, Gate camera
8 September, 2:37
(Optimus can be seen walking towards Megatron who is leaning against one of the stone pillars that the gate is attached to. Megatron seems to notice the smaller teen and looks up, a smile slowly forming across his face.)
“Hey. So, we going?”
“Yeah, hold on. I just gotta text the others.”
“You mean your group?”
“Yeah. I asked mom if she wanted to meet them and she said that she wanted to know who either I was influencing or who was influencing me.”
“Oh. Alright.”
(The two are silent for all of about five seconds before Optimus looks up and gestures for Megatron to follow. He pulled out his own phone and clicked something on it before nodding and following Optimus.)
“So…
You have any tips on how to handle your mother?”
“She’s not that bad I don’t think. But…you might not want to mention anything about any illegal happenings if you are involved with them. Nor do you want to mention anything about the Earthquake. I don’t want to put her through that stress, okay?”
“Alright. Deal.”

Megatron: Megabitch
8 September, 3:40
Megabitch: Hey, so real quick question
Megabitch: What is the name of the girl who helped you?
OptimusofPrime: Pandora Triene
Megabitch: Oh
Megabitch: She sounds like an interesting figure
OptimusofPrime: I’m just really happy that she was able to help
OptimusofPrime: She’s the first Triene in the past 100 years that hasn’t been a fraud
Megabitch: (・o・)
Megabitch: Well I’m guessing many people have been asking for her help then huh?
OptimusofPrime: Not really. But that’s mainly because the council has been keeping her more or less on a leash kinda.
Megabitch: Huh?
OptimusofPrime: She’s technically not supposed to be here. In this realm. But that’s mainly because most of the things she thinks are right are what the council perceives as ‘wrong’. I’m guessing she slipped her leash and decided to travel the dimensions
Megabitch: There is a lot of stuff we don’t know about huh?
OptimusofPrime: Yeah
OptimusofPrime: There really is
Megabitch: I’m kinda glad we’re having this conversation over text now
OptimusofPrime: Oh?
OptimusofPrime: And why’s that?
Megabitch: I can ask you questions that no one can stare at us weirdly for
OptimusofPrime: oh haha very funny
Megabitch: But seriously, could you try to explain everything over text or do we need to be talking for this?
OptimusofPrime: I can try to explain it over text but i don’t know how much you’ll be able to understand
Megabitch: That’s fine
Megabitch: Hit me
OptimusofPrime: If you say so, but cut me some slack here ‘cause I’m going to be saying things that you’re probably not going to be able to understand and I’m also going to be acting like I’m saying this because it’s just easier like that
Megabitch: That’s fine
OptimusofPrime: Good
OptimusofPrime: The first thing I’m going to clarify is the significance of the Triene name. Anyone with that last name is said to be blessed by the five gods that ‘created’ everything. They are said to be extremely powerful, probably some of the most powerful people to ever exist. Their nicknames are ‘mortal gods’ because they have the power of the gods but can still die
Megabitch: damn. That’s…fucking awesome! Anything else you wanna tell me?
OptimusofPrime: Okay so basically, you know how people speculate that the universe was created by a big bang?
Megabitch: Yeah
OptimusofPrime: That’s basically what happened except it wasn’t just a big bang then the universe. It actually happened slowly, incredibly slowly. Like erosion
OptimusofPrime: Like the universe was a giant chunk of rock or something and the bang created a gateway from the Astral Plane to here, letting the energies over there spill into here and then it started molding and chipping
Megabitch: So our universe is technically a marble statue?
OptimusofPrime: If that’s what helps you remember this then yes
Megabitch: Awesome
OptimusofPrime: I can see your face y’know
OptimusofPrime: you don’t look as if you like that too much
Megabitch: Oh my
Megabitch: How observant
OptimusofPrime: Anyways
OptimusofPrime: The Faceless, who are supposed to be like the all-powerful beings of the multiverse, decided to check this place out I guess and then they started making life.
Megabitch: So…are there other species out there?
OptimusofPrime: I’m not saying that on text, don’t wanna get coined and then have the FBI knocking on my door
Megabitch: Alright fine
Megabitch: Then start telling me about how much magic has impacted society
OptimusofPrime: The only reason we have what we have now is because of magical help
Megabitch: Does that mean that the Salem Witch Trials…?
OptimusofPrime: Most of them were innocent, but there were a few who were magical. What actually happened was someone would stand in and wait for everyone to announce their death then slip them into the other dimension, help them cope, then gave them the decision to either stay or come back here
Megabitch: Did they ever choose to come back?
OptimusofPrime: Some. But most couldn’t deal with the betrayal and decided to become apprentices to the person who originally helped them
Megabitch: Yeah, y’know, I would be the same
OptimusofPrime: Mom said that she would’ve come back just to spite everyone
Megabitch: Huh. Your mom is interesting in a good way
OptimusofPrime: Thank you for the clarification
Megabitch: You’re welcome
OptimusofPrime: Hold on, the others are texting me
Megabitch: Alright

OptimusofPrime: Oh…uhm, a dragon maybe or a basilisk.
OptimusofPrime: Basilisk’s are awesome
Megabitch: Have you met any?
OptimusofPrime: What do you think our family guardian is?
Megabitch: What’s their name?
OptimusofPrime: I call her Basil like the beginning of her name but there's another name that mom and dad called her
OptimusofPrime: I don’t believe either of us would be able to pronounce it
Megabitch: Basil
Megabitch: Can I meet her?
OptimusofPrime: I’ll see what I can do
OptimusofPrime: Do you…?
Megabitch: Ah, so you’ve started hearing that as well
Megabitch: I’m guessing that’s your friends?

“Mom, what are you doing to my friends?” OP
“Oh, hello scraplet! I was just asking if they wanted to help me with fixing the house up a little.”
“Optimus, this is awesome!” Bee
“Mom, why are they on the roof?!”
(The camera angles a tad to see Prowl and Bumblebee standing on the roof as a teen in black clothes with purple and gold hair stares up at them with a hand on her cocked hip. A woman with dark blue hair wearing a splattered paint shirt and dark blue jeans has one hand in her pocket as she smiles at Optimus and Megatron.)
“Scraplet, why do you think? Some of the shingles from the roof were falling off and they offered to help.”
“Hi bossbot!” Bulk
(Another teen in a variety of dark greens and camo colors walks out of the house with a giant box of tools. He gives the box to the other teen and she jumps up, placing the box on an outcropping connected to the roof that would make it so the box wouldn’t slide off the roof.)
“How the hell…? That’s like, a twenty foot jump!” Bee
“Didn’t Ms. Pax already explain it to you?
I’m magic!”
“Pandora, could you go into the house and see if the washer is done cycling please?”
“Of course Ms. Pax.”
“For the love of Ahnera, just call me Vesta!”
“Well, do you need any more help, Miss Vesta?” Megs
“Yeah we are already here and we do have empty hands.” OP
“Oh that would be perfect! What’s your name, sugar?”
“Megatron, miss.”
“Pleasure to meet ya’. Now, Optimus, Megatron, I need you two to go down to the basement and sort all the books down there. Optimus, you’ll know how to sort them. If you two wouldn’t mind.”
“Of course miss-” Megs
“And I don’t wanna hear ‘miss’ anymore. It’s Vesta, okay?”
“Okay.” Megs
“See ya mom.” OP
(Optimus starts pulling Megatron towards the front door of the house and the phone turns towards the roof just in time to see Bumblebee almost fall off the roof from a loose shingle. Pandora catches him, shakes her head, then launches the both of them back onto the roof.)
“Damn, you weren’t kidding when you said she was powerful.” Megs
“That’s not her using her ability, that’s her natural stats.
Like I said before, ‘mortal gods” OP

“Why are you recording again?” OP
“Because I can.
And because I want evidence that I came down here.” Megs
“Ah.
Well look on the bright side, you get to meet Basil.”
“Oh, Basil. I thought you said it like the beginning of Basilisk. Y’know, like Bass-il.”
“...”
“Don’t look at me like that!
I didn’t get any clarifications!”
*sigh* “Sometimes I think you’re hopeless.”
“Thank you.”
(A loud hiss can be heard down the hall the two are walking down and the perception flips to show Optimus and Megatron looking down the hall, two different expressions on their faces. Optimus seems happy, ecstatic, Megatron seems a little terrified but mostly curious but the two keep walking.)
“Is that your pet?”
“That should be her. She loves curling around the bigger bookshelves in the basement, or that’s at least what I’ve perceived.”
“Huh, well you should probably go first. I don’t want to be turned into stone.”
“Alright Megs.”
“...Megs?”
“Do you not want that to be your nickname?”
“Sure.
It…sounds nice coming from you.”
“Oh. Okay.”
“...”
“...”
(Another hiss can be heard and Optimus slowly leaves the frame, seemingly struggling to pull himself away from Megatron’s side. After he’s fully out of frame, Megatron’s eyes narrow in indecision before he flips the camera once more, focusing on the smaller teen as he walks towards an almost blackened door with some type of sigils on it and a dim light coming from the cracks of it.)
*whisper* “Careful.”
“I will be.”
(Optimus slowly opens the door and a dark green snake-like creature lashes out towards Megatron. He yelps, stumbling backwards, and Optimus can be heard yelling something in a weird sounding language.)
“Basil enough! He’s a friend, leave him be!”
(The snake pauses, its eyes focused on Megatron, and then its tongue flicks out of its mouth and it slowly turns around, slithering towards Optimus.)
“Sorry about that.”
“It’s alright. So this is Basil huh?”
“The one and only.
Once again sorry about that.”
(Optimus walks over to Megatron and lends a hand out to him. Megatron takes the hand and gets up. Optimus looks back at the door which is half-open and a room filled with books can be seen on the other side. There are bookshelves filled with them, stacks of them on the floor, entire stacks of paper bound with ringlets sat on the only table that can be seen.)
“That is a lot to organize Optimus, are you sure we’ll be able to do that?”
“I don’t know. If you want to leave early I wouldn’t mind.”
“I’m not leaving you to do this alone. I’ll stay as long as it takes.”
“Oh, thank you.”
(The camera tilts to where Optimus is standing and his cheeks are a little red as he looks around the hallway. Megatron gently presses the tips of his fingers to his cheek and he makes a considerable noise.)
“Are you sure you’ll be able to do this? You can relax if you’re sick and just tell me where everything should go.”
“No, I'm fine. It’s just a little hot in here.”
“Yeah I can feel that. Lead the way to the room then.”
“Yessir.”
(Megatron lets out a low chuckle from his chest and then Optimus is gripping his wrist softly and gently tugging him towards the door.)
“Come on Megs, let’s do this.”
“Yes, let’s.”
Notes:
Next chapter will mainly be a video recording, just to let you guys know.
Chapter 11: Magic Books
Summary:
(Optimus and Megatron can be seen standing in the doorway of the room Basil had launched out of, the both of them staring around the room in wonder. From what can be seen, the room looks to be a circular type of archive with a giant pillar in the middle of the room, with indents dotting the pillar everywhere. The floor is made up of cobblestone with the only color being the protective glyphs lining the curve of the room which connects the floor to the wall.)
“So…this is your book room?
Library? Basement?” Meg

(Optimus and Megatron can be seen standing in the doorway of the room Basil had launched out of, the both of them staring around the room in wonder. From what can be seen, the room looks to be a circular type of archive with a giant pillar in the middle of the room, with indents dotting the pillar everywhere. The floor is made up of cobblestone with the only color being the protective glyphs lining the curve of the room which connects the floor to the wall.)
“So…this is your book room?
Library? Basement?” Meg
“We have multiple names for this but we mainly call it the enchantment chamber. It’s where we store all of our enchantment books and spell books and just magical stuff in general. Artifacts, books, grimoires, etcetera.” OP
“Where is that one artifact you talked about before?”
“The Gauntlet of Pax?
Oh, that’s in my room seeing as that’s really the only place I can store it without it…deciding to become a menace to the house.”
“Huh. Can you call it down here?”
“I’d rather not.
But, I kinda want to find an artifact that would suit you a little.”
“Well then, let’s get this started huh?”
(There is a low hiss as Basil slithers between the two and slowly crawls up a giant pillar in the middle of the room. She curls up so tight on the pillar that it starts groaning and then she closes her eyes and flicks her tongue out, seeming to relax.)
“Will she tolerate me now?”
“She should but this is also the first time she’s ever met someone who doesn’t have a natural affinity to magic.”
“So you’re saying anyone can have magic?”
“Yeah pretty much. When someone doesn’t have an affinity for it, it’s pretty hard though, but anyone can learn the practices of most magic with the right dedication.”
“ Most ?”
“Necromancy and creation are two of the ones which people without energy cannot do at all. Unless blessed by a god, there are no exceptions.”
“That makes sense.
So, change of subject. How, or matter of factly, where do we start?”
“I feel like we should start over there since that’s what I was working on a couple weeks ago and it’ll give me a basis of how I was trying to organize everything earlier.”
“Lead the way, little prime.”
(Optimus levels a deadpan glare at Megatron before playfully swatting him in the arm and then walking towards the far wall from where they stood.)
“From what I can tell here, I was starting to organize them based on what type of magical groups the books belonged to.
It seems that past me was organizing them with the three different stages of magic. The first being Ethereal and Physical. The second being Creation, Spectral, Alteration, and Fortification. The last group, Conjuration, Illusion, Divination, Necromancy, Enchantment, Transmutation, Abjuration, and Evocation.”
“Damn. That…seems hard.”
“It’s really not. We just gotta start with dividing the books into two different categories and then dive into the sub categories after that.”
“But how would we go about shelving all of these things?”
“I was thinking that because of the circular structure of the room and the fact that there are shelves lining almost all the way from the very sides to the middle, I’d think we divide the room into two, then four, and then we take the last six and label them.”
“Once again, this seems hard.”
“It’s really not but if you want to start anywhere, you can start by bringing me those books and binders off the ground, m’kay?”
“Yessir.”
(The two don’t realize, but Basil curls a little higher up on her perch, watching them with lidded eyes in case they decide to accidentally look her way so she doesn't freeze them. The basilisk tilts her head, flicks her tongue out, then shakes her head and curls back around her perch.)
8 September, 4:32
“Hey, in this book it says that there’s a different version of basilisk?”
“Yeah. Basil’s a tamed basilisk, bred to be more of a protector rather than a predator.”
“How do you make a creature with giant spikes on its back, four pairs of legs and a massive maw to something akin to a snake with glowing eyes that can paralyze you?”
“It took a lot of selective breeding and I believe we also had some…magical influence, uh, involved in it.”
“Huh. Interesting.”
“Indeed.”
8 September, 4:47
(Optimus had started humming, and for the past minute or two, Megatron has just been staring at him in what seems to be wonder. A sudden loud crash disrupts their peace, and the both of them look up as Basil hisses.)
“What was that?”
*Distantly* “Don’t worry, we got it! You two continue on with what you’re doing!” Bee
“What?” Meg
*Distantly* “You two just enjoy your time together! We’ll be fine up here!” Vesta
“What do you think they think we’re doing?”
“I have no idea, and I don’t wanna know.
Oh, also, what was that song you were humming?”
“Was I humming? I can stop if you want me too.”
“No!
No, you don’t have to stop. I liked it…a lot.”
“Alright.
The song I was singing is one of those sea shanty songs, y’know, but I can sing something else if you have any recommendations.”
“Electric Love.”
“Fine, but you have to sing with me.”
“What?!”
“That is the only way I’ll start humming again. And, I might just join you if you can keep up with me.”
“Fine. You are on!”
“We need some type of reward. Something to make this worthwhile.”
“Oh, how about, ‘the winner has to take the other to their favorite restaurant’!”
“...Alright. Deal.”
“Deal.”
(The two shake hands and both wince when they hear another loud crash above them. Basil hisses once more, but settles quickly, seemingly annoyed more than anything.)
“We might want to go check on them in a while.”
“Yeah, but where’s the fun in that?”
“True, true.”
8 September, 5:14
(The room had devolved into a cacophony of noise, with the both of them not even caring about the deal anymore and singing their hearts out with content as they both continued organizing. Surprisingly, Basil hadn’t moved throughout the entire thing.)
“Ooh love, ooh lover boy…”
“What’re you doing tonight, hey boy!”
*Distantly* “Optimus!!!!”
(They both stop abruptly at the loud screech that they heard through their music. Just as the two of them were about to get up, they could hear a commotion caused by multiple people trying to come down the stairs at the same time.)
“Optimus!” Bee
(Bee burst through the door, painting with Sari and a confused Blitzwing being pulled behind the smaller two.)
“Megatron!
Vhere have jou been!?” Blitz
“We told you he was here.” Sari
“For Primus’ sake! Vhy haven’t jou been answering jou’re phone?” Blitz
“My phone’s been on silent and…recording the entire time.” Meg
“Apologies for worrying you Blitzwing. If you want, we can go up there.”
“No, jou’re both fine. The Decepticons vere just vorried.”
“You sure Blitz?”
“Yes. Continue on vith vhat jou two vere doing.”
(Bumblebee whispers something to Blitzwing and the teen's face goes from deadpanned to crazed smile in an instant, a cackle escaping his throat as he hauled the smaller teen out of the room.)
“Well then…
That was interesting.”
“Indeed it was.”
“You wanna keep on singing?”
“Duh.”
(Basil hisses and the two look at her, Optimus tilting his head as he looked at the basilisk.)
“You think she’s annoyed? Either that or she’s laughing at us.”
“What would a basilisk even laugh about?”
“I don’t know, but maybe she’s laughing at the idiots in front of her.”
“I have it recorded, Optimus Pax called himself and Megatron an idiot.”
“Screw off.”
(Optimus throws one of the pillows he was sitting by at Megatron, who catches it with ease and then looks at the smaller one with a sly smirk.)
“Oh now you’ve done it, Pax.”
“Oh no.”
(Optimus yelps in surprise as a pillow goes flying past his head, and then sprints to one side of the room, where there is a pile of pillows.)
“Megs!
We’re supposed to be organizing! Not throwing pillows at each other!”
“Well, what’s the harm in having a little bit of fun Pax?
We can get back to organizing later. If you want to, of course.”
“Yes! Yes, I want to. I like hanging out with you.
Even though it’s only been a day(?), I like…I guess I like hanging out with you. There’s something about you that just makes me so…relaxed.”
“Well thank you Pax. I appreciate your confession.
Now, pillow fight!!!!”
“Agh!! Hey, you caught me off guard!!”
“There is no such thing as catching the other off guard! It’s just battle!”
(The two devolve into a mess of scrambling and flipping over multiple furniture pieces as they try to dodge each other’s pillows. Surprisingly, Basil isn’t bothered by this at all, and seems even to be quite happy about this.)
8 September, 5:32
“Boys, we were planning on ordering something for dinner in around…thirty minutes.
What do you two want?” Vesta
“Uhm, well, can I get a meatlovers pizza…miss?
“Of course dear. Optimus?”
“Hm. I don’t know. Maybe just a regular cheese pizza. Or, no, ooh! Can I have some ramen?”
“Ramen for Optimus and pizza for Megatron. Got it. I can make that happen. You two continue on with what you’re doing here and I’ll prepare your food. Have fun.”
“Thank you miss Vesta!”
“Thanks mom!”
8 September, 6:27
“Gentlemen! Here’s your food for all of you!” Vesta
“Food! Hell yeah!”
“Thank you mom!”
“Yeah, thank you so much! You’re the best!”
“Awh, thank you! I appreciate your compliments!”
“Of course! You deserve all of them, and more. If only I knew how to give them, heh.”
“Don’t worry. None is needed. As long as I get ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ most of the time, I’m happy.”
“I feel like I should do more though.”
“Well, all I can ask of you as of yet, is to continue organizing and we’ll see what comes outta that, kay?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“See ya mom.”
“I will see you two later.”
8 September, 6:58
“Y’know, I don’t have to go home tonight. I can stay if you want me to.”
“Do you wanna stay?”
“Can I?”
“Of course. Mom wouldn’t mind and neither would I. But why?”
“My house is extremely lonely most of the time with my parents being away on business almost all of the time…I just want some place to be familiar with.”
“Sure, you can stay. Honestly, I was kinda hoping you’d ask to. And I think mom was as well.”
“Well then, that settles it. Where do you think I should sleep?”
“You can sleep in my room. I have an extra futon and if you don’t wanna sleep on the floor, you can sleep on the bed and I can sleep on the futon.”
“We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it won’t we?”
“I guess we will.”
8 September, 7:28
“Oh thank god we’re done!”
“I one hundred percent agree.
Come on, let’s see what the others are doing upstairs.”
“Yes, please! Let’s go see what our idiots have gotten into.”
“Let’s."

SayingSari: Yeah, Miss Vesta said they were organizing the books down there since everything ‘went to shit’ after she contracted that illness.
Striker: Oh you sweet summer child
Arachnidphobia: Honestly, I’m with Sari on this. Optimus is way too pure to be doing anything ‘bad.’ Especially if his mom is litterally upstairs and can come down any minute!!!
Blitzingthroughlife: They definitely weren’t doing anything bad when we went down, and there was no tension in the air. They seemed to be genuinly enjoying each other’s company which is a first.
BulkingUp: Yeah Bee, stop putting bossbot in a bad light
BuzzyBee: Alright, fine. But I ain’t letting this go for a while !!!
Prowlaround: Good luck Bee

Blitzingthroughlife: So who else is sleeping over? I know that I’m planning to, but is anyone else?
BuzzyBee: I am!
SayingSari: So am I!!
BulkingUp: Yeah, I’m gonna stay, just because I want to spend some more time with the woman who shaped our bossbot.
Prowlaround: Primus Bulk, you didn’t have to say it like that.
Prowlaround: But yes, I am going to be staying as well.
Striker: Sure, I’ll stay. Someone needs to make sure you idiots are running the house we all tried to help with.
Arachnidphobia: I’ll stay, but I’m going to have to go get my stuff for my arm and my leg
BuzzyBee: I’m sure Vesta can drop you off.
Blitzingthroughlife: Wait.
Blitzingthroughlife: Does anyone know where Pandora disappeared to?
Striker: Yeah she left a couple minutes ago. Said she was picking up snacks for a movie night.

“No.”

“Hey Miss Vesta
What kinda movies are we allowed to watch here?” Megs
“Anything below rated R really. As long as you all agree with it or you’re not forcing someone to watch something they don’t want to, I don’t really mind. No sex scenes.”
(Vesta glances around the group who is all gathered around her and nods when she gets a nod from all of them.)
“I’m guessing you all want me to make some snacks?”
“Yes please mom! Your snacks are always the best !”
“Alright. I’ll see what I can do. Blackarachnia, you said you needed to stop by your house, right?”
“Uhm, yes ma’am.”
“Okay. Let me look through the cupboards and see what I have and then I’ll drive you to your house. That way it’ll give me a reference to what I’ll need to get and what I don’t. Kay?”

Pandemonium: I’m just glad he’s happy. Or at least, happier than he was
BulkingUp: His mom getting better definitely helped him
Prowlaround: I believe that this new alliance with Megatron will help Optimus deal with Sentinel. The other was pestering him to spy on Megatron, so I feel as if he’s going to be a little happier now.
Arachnidphobia: I also feel like this is going to loosen the both of them up. And, they’ll be a force to be reckoned with when we all start messing with Sentinel.

Soundingthealarm: Ooh. What movie is it?
OptimusofPrime: I think it was called ‘Alien’
OptimusofPrime: Nothings happened yet so I’m just sitting here in anticipation, waiting for some jumpscare or something like that.
Shockinglyontime: My parents watched that when it came out and then they had me watch it when I was like 7 or something. From what I can remember, the first like 40-45 minutes aren’t exactly that horror-like
OptimusofPrime: Yeah, I’ve realized
Screamingatthevoid: Who picked the movie?
Megabitch: Me
Luggernaught: Oh primus Optimus, if you let him pick one movie, he’s going to make you binge almost all of them. Good luck

Shockinglyontime: Two questions. 1. Where’s your house? 2. You mom’s awwake?
OptimusofPrime: It’s a lot to explain and I don’t exactly want to over text at the moment. Also my house is XXXX.
Screamingatthevoid: I’m coming just to hear this explanation
Luggernaught: I guess I will
Shockinglyontime: Count me in!

-Unknown excerpt-
8 September, 11:56
(Optimus awakes with a start, heart racing and eyes darting around the room, surveying the shadows, waiting for something to attack him. There is a sudden bright blue light in the room and a gauntlet-like object was floating in the room.)
“Ugh, turn off the lights.” Megs
“Sorry.
Just…had a nightmare.”
(Megatron lifts himself off of the futon and looks up at Optimus. Then looks at the glowing artifact, and slowly tip-toes towards the scared teen. He sits in front of him and gently rests both hands on the other's shoulders.)
“Hey, look at me. Everything’s okay. You’re fine. We have both our groups here and your mom and Basil. And lastly you have that thing and me. I’m pretty sure anything that would come here would have to fight to even reach you. Breathe with me. Come on.”
(Megatron starts breathing and Optimus starts copying him. Slowly, the gauntlet stops glowing and drops onto the ground somewhere with a soft clang. Optimus grips Megatron’s hands tightly, eyes wide as he tried to make eye contact with the other.)
“I’m here, Optimus. Don’t worry.
Do you want me to stay here with you?”
(Optimus nods and slowly pulls Megatron down onto the bed with him, curling into the larger teen and burying his head into his chest. Megatron started petting the others' hair.)
“It’s okay, Optimus. It’s okay. Like I said, nothing’s going to happen to you. You’ll be fine. You’ll be fine.”
*Shakily* “Thank you Megatron.”
“Of course. What am I your friend for?”
*Shakily* “Heh. We became friends fairly fast.”
“Yes we did, Optimus. And I’m very happy about that.”
(Optimus is the first to close his eyes, his breath evening almost immediately. As Megatron is about to sleep, he sees a flash of green and looks over, seeing Basil poking her head through the door. The basilisk’s eyes glow and Megatron sees his chest pulse a soft red. He looks down and sees a glyph slowly fading. When he looks back up, Basil is gone and he’s too tired to question anything. He’ll ask about it in the morning.)
-End-
Chapter 13: The Kiss
Summary:
“Oh mY PRIMUS!!!” Bee
(The cafeteria erupts into chaos, seeing as everyone was watching, and Megatron pulls away from Optimus smiling. Optimus looks dazed, but there’s a dopey smile on his face. Megatron mutters something to the smaller teen, and then sits the two of them down gently at the table, situating Optimus so that he’s on his lap.)

12:23, Bee’s phone
“Yo Bulk, do you know where bossbot and Megs are?” Bee
“No, not real- never mind, Megatron is right there.” Bulk
“Oh, and there’s Optimus walking in as well!” Sari
“Megatron looks to be planning something…I’m gonna wait before I go up to them.” Bee
“You finally had a good idea, Bumblebee.” Prowl
“Hey!”
“Guys! Shut up and look!”
(Optimus walks up to Megatron, who’s sat down at one of the tables with his crew. The teen looks up to see Optimus and smiles slyly. He stands up, takes two steps towards Optimus, picks him up, and kisses him. Optimus is frozen for about 2 seconds before he reciprocates the kiss.)
“Oh mY PRIMUS!!!” Bee
(The cafeteria erupts into chaos, seeing as everyone was watching, and Megatron pulls away from Optimus smiling. Optimus looks dazed, but there’s a dopey smile on his face. Megatron mutters something to the smaller teen, and then sits the two of them down gently at the table, situating Optimus so that he’s on his lap.)
“Oh my primus!” Sari
“What the hell was that?” Bee
“Did Optimus know he was going to do that?” Bulk
“He seems pretty dazed, so I don’t know.” Prowl
“Guys, asshole alert!” Bee
“Oh no, Sentinel’s here now.” Prowl
“Oh Primus.” Bulk
“Jou got zhat right?” Blitz
“Blitz! Where…when?”
“We just walked in, but everyone’s talking about how our bosses kissed, so we wanna know if you got it.” Starscream
“Oh yeah. I got it.” Bee
“WHAT IS GOING ON!!!” Sentinel
(The camera pans to Megatron and Optimus, who glance at each other, smirk, and then Megatron stands, still holding Optimus.)
“SCATTER!!”
(Everyone in the cafeteria clears out, and the camera gets blurred for a few seconds before the ground is being shown. The camera turns to show Bee and Sari both being carried by Blitzwing, who is sprinting down the halls, hot on Starscream's heels. Megatron and Optimus are nowhere to be found, but different teens are cheering and yelling and whooping in excitement. Bits and pieces of conversation is being picked up.)
“I cannot believe that actually happened!” ??
“Are Megatron and Optimus dating?” ??
“That was awesome!” ??
“Ooh, what if we get them to make out during the festival! That’d be so funny!” ??
(Bumblebee is staring at the camera slack-jawed when they abruptly stop and he is gently sat on the ground.)
“What the fuck was that?” Bee

HistoryKup: How would that work?
Arcee: Kup!
HistoryKup: What? Just asking. It’s just interesting when you take in their size difference, y’know.
Ratchet: For Primus’ sake Kup! Shut up! I don’t have time to deal with you weird questions!
ScienceMajor: Blitzwing and Megatron are in my class right now and they look to be planning something. Should I be worried?
Arcee: Do you want honesty or reassurance?
ScienceMajor: Honesty.
Arcee: Yes. Yes you should.
UMagnus: Primus help us all.
Arcee: Y’know, I have that new girl in my class, Pandora, and she seems to also be planning something with Bulkhead and Smite.
HistoryKup: I feel as if those two groups, y’know the groups that Megatron and Optimus lead, they’re going to do something at the festival, and honestly, I’m gonna let ‘em.
Ratchet: I’m too old to be dealing with this right now.
Ratchet: Oh great, Bumblebee just barged in. He somehow got a sprained wrist.
Arcee: Good luck Ratchet
HistoryKup: Good luck soldier. Primus help you.

BuzzyBee: Was that kiss planned?
OptimusofPrime: I had no idea about it. At all. Mostly.
SayingSari: Mostly?
OptimusofPrime: I knew he was going to try to ‘make our relationship convincing’ to Sentinel. I did not know he was going to do that.
Prowlaround: You reciprocated.
OptimusofPrime: His lips were soft
BuzzyBee: They fall in love so fast.
OptimusofPrime: ರ_ರ
OptimusofPrime: Really Bee? We aren’t in love. This is just something he decided would help Sentinel leave me alone for a while.
Prowlaround: Yeah, you might want to check that ASC group chat after your done trying to cinvince us you don’t love Megatron.
BuzzyBee: Which we all know you do
OptimusofPrime: I don’t love him

OptimusofPrime: Yeah I get it.
OptimusofPrime: Heh. Sentinel’s losing his mind. I can hear the smoke coming out of his ears literally.
Megabitch: You think we’d be able to keep this relationship persona up long enough for summer?
OptimusofPrime: Is that a challenge I’m hearing?
Megabitch: If you want it to be, it can be one.
OptimusofPrime: Fine, let’s do this. What do you want?
Megabitch: I want to see the world you came from.
OptimusofPrime: You mean the world my ancestors came from? You’re already there.
Megabitch: No. I want to see everything through your eyes.
OptimusofPrime: Alright. But we’ll need to go somewhere secluded. I have a place, but we’re only going to be able to go there during summer.
OptimusofPrime: If I win, we can do that, but we have to bring our friends along.
Megabitch: How does someone win this challenge hm?
OptimusofPrime: However is able to keep the ‘relationship’ up the longest.
Megabitch: You, my dear Pax, have a deal.

Hymning: One, the both of them become some of the most powerful beings in the world

Quarrelingoverit: We’ll keep eyes on both the magic spikes and the wells for now. We can probably last till summer, but we’re going to need to stretch our resources if we do that.

BulkingUp: So would Mr. Kup
OptimusofPrime: Have you met those two? Of course they’d agree!
Prowlaround: I just asked Ratchet and he said he’d cover for you.
BulkingUp: And I can ask Mr. Perceptor about it
OptimusofPrime: That’s still Ultra Magnus to ask, and there’s no way he’d agree to that!
BuzzyBee: Yeah, but it’s four out of five teachers on the council. I thinkt hat’s pretty signiicant!
BulkingUp: You could also ask Alpha Trion to cover us.
BuzzyBee: Ooh yeah! If we got Alpha Trion to cover our asses, tht’d be like party central!
OptimusofPrime: I’ll think about it okay?

BuzzyBee: Fine

(Optimus get dropped off at home and waves goodbye to Megatron and Pandora before checking his mailbox. As he goes through the many different letters and notices, he finds one from his dad and excitedly opens it.)
Dear Optimus, my beloved son,
I am writing this to you because I've realized I can no longer do this anymore. I can no longer support your mother while having a disease with no cure and have moved on. I will continue to send money to you for groceries and bills but I am not coming back and I believe won't ever come back for a long while. My new partner was the one to recommend I do this amd I hope you have a good rest of your life. Please forgive me.
Your father.
(Optimus stares down at the letter for all of around five minutes before sprinting into the house, tears slowly dripping from the corners of his eyes. He drops the letter on the counter and sprints upto his room, ignoring his mom's calls and locking himself in his room. He curls up on his bed and turns on his phone with bleary eyes.)

"Hick,
Hey Megs.
"Optimus? What's wrong?"
"My dad's done Megs. He's not coming back. Never. He's having an affair somewhere and he wasn't even the one that wanted to talk to me, his affair partner convinced him to do that."
"Do you want me to come over?"
"If you wouldn't mind."
"Optimus, I'm not the one who just got their heartbroken so of course I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't have offered if I did."
"Oh, okay. Then please do come over. Mom might be in the kitchen and I know she probably read the note as well since I left it on the kitchen counter."
"That's fine. I can help the both of you."
*Shakh laugh* "Yes I guess you can.
So, see ya in a bit?"
"I'll be there as quick as I can be."
*Weakly* "Thank you."
"Of course Optimus."

Notes:
Apologies for not updating sooner, I've been working on some Megop Week things and got a little carried away and I've been a little stressed with sport sign ups and stuff. Once again, I apologize.
Also next chapter will be a half and half. Half would be the rest of today and the other half will be the beginning of the next day.
Chapter 17: Half day
Summary:
First part of the chapter: Megatron comforts Optimus and then helps him through the loss of an important family member.
Second part of the chapter: the teachers get told what the 'Gods of Chaos' are going to do and the exact group starts hyping up the school for the after school festival that is taking place.
And Megatron may or may not call Optimus' dad

-Unknown Excerpt-
10 September, 4:38
(Megatron walks into Optimus' room after gently coaxing Veda to go take a walk and is utterly surprised by the carnage that made up the room. Where normally everything was tidy and neatly organized, there were papers and clothes strewn across the floor, stacks of books had been toppled over, even Optimus' bed was a mess of blankets and sheets which Megatron couldn't even fathom. He called out for Optimus, and the meek noise from the ground on the other side of the teens bed guided Megatron to a lump of blankets with a vague figure underneath them.)
"Hello Pax."
(Optimus' head peeks out of the blankets and he almost immediately started reaching for Megatron, a low whine escaping his throat and fresh tears falling from his eyes.)
"It's okay, I'm here."
(Megatron scoops the smaller teen into his arms and falls onto the bed, pulling the multiple covers around themselves to make a tiny nest before slowly pressing Optimus to his chest. As Optimus cried, he started humming gently, rubbing his back in a soothing manner.)
*Softly* "Thank you."
"Of course Pax. I'll always be here for you."
"Do you promise?"
"Yes, Optimus. I promise. I will not leave you, I am not like the other people in your life, and I hope you will give me the opportunity to prove that."
(Optimus stared up at Megatron with glassy, bright blue eyes that held hope in them and Megatron gave him a small smile, knocking their heads together and carding his fingers through Optimus' bright blue hair. He felt hands fiddle with the tips of his own hair and gently urged Optimus to continue, sighing in content when he started scraping his nails over his scalp.)
"Does that feel good?"
"Ah....
Yes, it does. Very good."
*Quietly* "Once again, thank you for coming."
"Optimus..."
"I know, I know. I'm just...happy that I've got a friend like you. I think you've done more than both Elita and Sentinel did to me combined."
"That's because I'm just better than they are."
*Soft laugh* "Yes, I guess you are."
(The two sit there in silence for a while, just enjoying each other's company and touch, and then Optimus breathes in and out, before slowly sitting up.)
"I guess you want an explanation now huh?"
"I'll take whatever you will give me because that is what you can handle. Tell me whatever you believe I should know Pax."
*Relieved* "Oh thank Primus. I'm pretty sure I told you everything that I knew over the phone so that's a relief."
"And?"
"I just feel like there should be more here to tell but I don't have anything.
I...I don't even know what to do now. It feels like my life has just gone to nothing now."
"I understand that feeling. It's what I felt after my brother left."
"Does it ever go away?"
"Not entirely, but overtime you just get...I guess you just get numb to it. That's not the exact word because certain things can bring the emotions back, but for most anything else, you don't really feel anything."
"Thank you for that."
"Of course. Isn't that what I'm here for?"
"Oh ha ha Megs.
…
But yes, that is one of the reasons I called you. I don't think I can ever show you how much I appreciate you coming."
"You can show me by relaxing and trying to get some rest."
(Megatron grips Optimus' shoulders and urges him back into their little cocoon, cushioning the smaller teen's head in the crook of his neck.)
"Alright. I'll get some rest."
"I'm sensing a 'but' there."
"I wanna talk to him. Y'know like, over the phone. But I don't want to do it alone and Mom's technically not an option because I don't want her to be responsible for anything that dad or I say."
"Sleep. At least for a few hours. Then, when you're awake we can go over this once more."
"You're not going to let me argue over this are you?"
"Absolutely not."
*Huff* "Fine.
Can you...sing to me?"
"Of course."

Megabitch: I need you to track down Optimus' dad for me.
Pandemonium: Why?
Megabitch: track him down and you'll find out.
Pandemonium: Optimus' dad went to find a cure for what Miss Vesta had right?
Megabitch: Yep.
Pandemonium: well then expect some results in around fifteen to twenty minutes.

(Megatron checks to see that Optimus is still asleep before slowly slipping out of the bed, throwing his legs over the side of the bed and carefully standing up. He pauses for a few seconds before pulling out his phone and dialing the number Pandora had sent him.)
Megatron --> Unknown
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Hello Donovan Pax."
"How do you know my name?"
"Let's just say I'm someone who knows your son."
"Oh for Ahnera's sake! This again? For the second time, I'm sorry! Him and his mom were just getting to be too much these days, and besides, the cure that I was looking for wouldn't have worked anyways!"
"How do you know that?"
"Because! Anyone who gets whatever the hell Vesta had was asking for it! They only get it because they weren't trying hard enough in life."
"You believe that?"
"It's natural selection. There's a reason why there isn't a cure."
"You said you've had to explain this to someone else? What did they tell you when you said that?"
"She told me something along the lines of
'You're wrong and when you find that out, neither your wife nor your son will want your sorry ass.'
Or something like that. I don't know, wasn't really paying attention."
"I have to agree with her."
"Oh don't tell me you believe that bullshit as well. The only reason Vesta fell ill was because of her refusal to do better in life. If you can't accept that and move on, then you'll be just as miserable as Optimus is."
"You weren't miserable when you figured out your wife had contracted a magical disease that made her sleep almost ninety-five percent of the time?"
"For the first couple weeks maybe but then I realized the life of being a few man and I got so much better."
"How do you expect Optimus to deal with this?"
"I don't know and I don't really care. My main care right now is getting CPS off my ass. It's one of the only reason I've kept up the constant stream of money for the past year and a half. I'm just glad that it's enough for no one to notice it's gone from my bank account and my mistress won't realize I have another family."
"You are a horrible man and I hope a basilisk turns you into stone and breaks you up into small enough pieces for you to become pebbles in the dirt."
"Thanks kid. Real threatening. Now if you don't mind, I've got a date with a couple of hookers in around ten minutes so I'm just going to nip this conversation in the bus and hang up. Buh-bye now."
(The call abruptly ends and Megatron stares at his phone with a type of stone-cold rage slowly spreading through his veins.)

Pandemonium: We tell the others secretly
Pandemonium: Not now of course. We'll do it after tomorrow. But we make sure they don't tell Optimus about it until we're ready to demolish this fucker.
Megabitch: Agreed
Megabitch: See you tomorrow morning?
Pandemonium: Yep. I'll try to act like everything is normal for tomorrow.
Megabitch: It is our mission tomorrow to make sure Optimus at least mostly forgets about today
Pandemonium: Yep, I agree completely

11 September, 3:28
(Optimus awakens to a soft glow that's hovering above him. It's not the normal blue glow he's used to seeing with the Gauntlets of Pax, instead, it's a deep red glow, like Megatron's eyes. Optimus tilts his head as he holds out his hands, letting the glow land in his palms. The glow slowly recedes, and Optimus finds the dark red hilt of a sword laid out in his palms.)
"What the...?"
(He feels Megatron stir by his side and the sword hilt starts glowing again, pulsing like a heartbeat. Optimus' mind flashes back to the time Megatron asked him about his own artifact and he slowly smiles, reaching over to place the sword hilt on the nightstand on Megatron's side.)
"Looks like you've got your own artifact now Megs.*Laughing softly*
Good luck." *Whispers*

BuzzyBee: Oh that's easy! We tell them exactly what's going to be playing!
Prowlaround: Are you sure that's going to work?
BulkingUp: Have you met at least half of the people at this school Prowl?
bulkingUp: Most of them would kill for something like this to happen that was approved by the school and is on school grounds.

Ratchet: What??????
UMagnus: Trion come pick me up, I'm scared
Ratchet: Yeah, can you like, I don't know, swing by, make sure we're not in any danger?
Ratchet: Please?
UMagnus: Trion did you allow this?
Trion: Allow what?

Arcee: Trion
Arcee: NO!!!!
Arcee: Do you understand what kind of danger you've put us in?
Arcee: We're going to die!!!
ScienceMajor: The children will not be able to harm us

Ratchet: I'm pretty sure she's talking about what the parents are going to do after this debacle
Trion: Ah yes. I did forget about that.
Trion: Whoops
UMagnus: Is this some type of punishment?
UMagnus: What have we done to deserve this?
Trion: Don't worry. I'll take care of everything

Ratchet: Guys help! Bee has gotten Smite and Hymn on their side and him and Sari are riding on Smite's shoulders, screaming at the top of their lungs, singing the riot song!
UMagnus: You have doomed us all Trion.
Trion: (ʘᴗʘ✿)
Trion: Good luck. See you all tonight!
Notes:
Two things
1. I absolutely do not have a problem with the name Donovan. I just went to a name generator and that was the first one to pop up.
2. Sorry for not updating again. There's an explanation in the comments of the last chapter but the basis of it was that I was trying to do two week prompts at the same time and just became really burnt out and decided not to do the second one because I knew that I would be way off. Sorry, but I hope you enjoy this chapter.
And if you want to read some of the week prompts that I wasn't able to post, you can ask if you want to and I'll write them. You would also need to ask about the prompt, but I really don't mind.
Fuck Donovan Pax
Chapter 18: Let's Start A Riot!
Summary:
OptimusofPrime: Apparently someone got over the intercom and started preaching about how all of them are oppressed and like, 90% of the school have just started to riot
Megabitch: When we said, ‘Lets start a riot’ we absolutely did not mean let’s start an actual riot!!!!!

Megabitch: Alright I guess?
Striker: Be glad you’re not here
Shockinglyontime: I can’t really tell
Soundingthealarm: I have been sighing for almost every minute every since this started
Arachnidphobia: I’m getting mixed signals here
Arachnidphobia: Is it good or bad? Are people having fun or not?
OptimusofPrime: Oh, everyone is definitely having fun
Prowlaround: Some more than others
SayingSari: We were able to rope Pandora’s group into this and thay’ve gotten the rest of the school who weren’t that into it on board. They’re so cool!
BuzzyBee: SMITE LET US RIDE ON HER SHOULDERS!!!!!!!!!!
SayingSari: It was Soooooooooo fun!!!!!!!
Arachnidphobia: What are the staff saying about this?
OptimusofPrime: Ratchet and Arcee are just going along with it. Confusion lacing their features but no one’s messed with them yet so, y’know, they’ve just ran with it
Megabitch: Kup is having the time of his life.
Prowlaround: Didn’t he literally learn the song in first period so he could sing it with the kids?
BulkingUp: Yes he did. I was there
Blitzingthroughlife: So was I!!!
Shockinglyontime: Preceptor is just his usual mundane self
Shockinglyontime: Doesn’t care as long as you don’t disrupt his class
Striker: That does sound like him
Arachnidphobia: And Ultra Magnus?
OptimusofPrime: Taking this all surprisingly well
Arachnidphobia: Really?
OptimusofPrime: Yeah, he pulled me aside in his class and asked me if I knew if I wanted him to keep Sentinel in line today. I said yes and he just nodded and let me go.
OptimusofPrime: Ever since then, Sentinel just stares at me and fumes
Arachnidphobia: DAmn
Arachnidphobia: Wonder what that was about
Soundingthealarm: I think it’s because Alpha Trion likes you and him and Ultra Magnus are married
BuzzyBee: What??
SayingSari: Excuse me?!?!
OptimusofPrime: Yeah, that makes sense
Megabitch: How are you so calm right now after learning that????
OptimusofPrime: I kinda already knew
OptimusofPrime: Pandora eluded to it when we were driving to the library before we went to talk to Alpha Trion
Megabitch: Of course she did
Prowlaround: Hold on, Soundwave, how did you figure that out?
Soundingthealarm: On the security cameras in Ultra Magnus’ classroom. He was staying late and Alpha Trion came into the classroom, kissed him, then dragged him up out of his seat and led him out to their car.
SayingSari: Awwwwwwww! That’s kinda cute
OptimusofPrime: Yeah that’s true
Luggernaught: Does this mean we can take Ultra Magnus out of the dating poll and put him in the married one?
Shockinglyontime: Yes!!!
BulkingUp: You guys have betting pools on teachers?
Megabitch: Yep
OptimusofPrime: What is Ratchet in?
Shockinglyontime: Probably dating
OptimusofPrime: Well, at least you got that right
Arachnidphobia: What?
Prowlaround: Ratchet’s in a polycule with some of the staff
Megabitch: Who?
OptimusofPrime: Drift and Rodimus
Striker: You mean the secretary and the Leadership teacher?
Prowlaround: Yep
Luggernaught: How the hell do you know that?
OptimusofPrime: I have panic attacks
Prowlaround: I have abusive parents. When Master Yoketron cannot help me, Ratchet does
OptimusofPrime: Yeah, the both of us go over to Ratchet’s when we need to and sometimes, the two others are over there.
Megabitch: And they’re married?????
OptimusofPrime: As married as you can be in the civilization we live in

Blitzingthroughlife: Did anyone else just hear that announcement?
BuzzyBee: We’re all gonna die!!!!!
Arachnidphobia: What????? What’s happening???
OptimusofPrime: Apparently someone got over the intercom and started preaching about how all of them are oppressed and like, 90% of the school have just started to riot
Megabitch: When we said, ‘Lets start a riot’ we absolutely did not mean let’s start an actual riot!!!!!
Striker: What do we do?
OptimusofPrime: Run!!!!
Striker: Whatt!!!
OptimusofPrime: Everyone get to the back of the school where the giant field is. We’ll converge there and think about something to do.
OptimusofPrime: We don’t have much time before the police are called though, so RUN!!!!!!!!!

Caller Excerpt
Blackarachnia —> Optimus Prime
“Is everyone alright?
What’s going on?”
OP “Like I explained before, someone started preaching and then the school started rioting. There’s vandalism and some kids even got into fights.”
Megs “It’s fucking horrible.”
Bee “what the hell are we going to do?”
Strika “What can we do?
The police are going to get called eventually and when that happens, they’ll be looking for the culprits.
Almost everything points towards us.”
OP “I don’t wanna go to juvie again.”
*Silence*
Megs “Listen, that’s not going to happen.”
Shock “Yeah, we’ll make sure of it.”
OP “How?
How do you all plan to save this day?
It wasn’t supposed to be like this and then someone decides to do this and…and…”
Megs “Optimus, Optimus, look at me
Look at me.
We’re your friends. We’ll make sure we get through this.”
Bee “Yeah Bossbot. Ever heard ‘If we go down then we go down together?”
Prowl “Bee, did you seriously just quote a Chainsmokers song?”
Bee “I'm not good with this!”
OP *Weakly chuckles* “It’s okay Bee. I appreciate it.”
“Okay, so, what’s the plan guys?”
OP “We need to get everyone to calm down.”
Megs “And if , if anyone calls the police, that’ll just make everything worse.”
Bulk “So what do we do?”
??? “Hey, you guys need help taking the crowd?”
OP “Pandora!”
Megs “What’s up ‘monium.”
Bee “Smite!”
Sari “Hey Smite! Hey Hymn!”
“Y’know, we could use some help with this.”
Pan “Well then, your wish is our command.
Let’s get this started!”
Notes:
Next chapter: the Police episode. We also get to see how many police officers Ultra Magnus knows and how easily he can trick someone into doing something for him. (Actually in Chapter 20. Sorry.)
Whoopie!

Megabitch: Tarn started a riot
Striker: I told you that blundering fool was too into you!!!!!
Megabitch: Strika
Megabitch: Don’t start.
Arachnidphobia: Does he look pissed? Does he look like he’s going to murder someone? Tell me the deets people!!!!
OptimusofPrime: MadMegs.png
Arachnidphobia: Holy shit Megs, you look like your gonna commit homicide times 4,728
Screamingatthevoid: Why the hell is your number so specific?
Soundingthealarm: That’s the amount of people in this school not including the teachers and our groups.
Screamingatthevoid: Shit
Screamingatthevoid: Really?
Shockinglyontime: Yeap
Shockinglyontime: So, what we gone do?
Striker: No Megatron, we are not throwing a molotov cocktail at the school
Striker: Optimus
Striker: No
Arachnidphobia: I hate not being there. What they sayyyyyyyyy?????
Pandemonium: Megatron said they could throw a molotov cocktail at the school and when Strika said no, Optimus said that he wouldn’t be opposed to the idea.
Arachnidphobia: Megatron. You are a horrible influence.
Arachnidphobia: Keep going.
Strika: Damnit Blackarachnia! Stop enabling them!
OptimusofPrime: No please, continue enabling us.
Megabitch: I think Optimus is gonna kill someone
OptimusofPrime: Who did you say started this?
Megabitch:..............
OptimusofPrime: Megatron
Megabitch: Help!! Scary Optimus!!!
OptimusofPrime: Nvm
OptimusofPrime: I figured it out.
OptimusofPrime: I’m gonna kill Tarn
Megabitch: ……..
Megabitch: Honestly, go ahead. I’m not going to stop you.
OptimusofPrime: You better not
Arachnidphobia: I’ve seen this before. Everyone watch out. He’s actually going to kill someone.
Striker: Optimus, what’s that look for??
Arachnidphobia: What look?
Shockinglyontime: Optimus is just looking down at his phone because he got a text and he’s just…staring. Like, intensely staring.
OptimusofPrime: Blurr and Jazz just informed me that Sentinel just blamed me and Ultra Magnus for this entire thing. Well, he technically blamed all of us, but he said that Ultra Magnus and I werre the main peope who began this.
BuzzyBee: Yeah, that sounds like something Sentinel would do.
OptimusofPrime: Bee! Oh my Primus, you’re okay!!! Do you know where Bulk, Prowl and Sari are??
BuzzyBee: All four of us are completely fine. Apparently, this school has a basement.
Pandemonium: How the hell did you figure that out?
BuzzyBee: Our group were all running adn then we saw Sentinel and he just…pointed an officer in our direction. Just as we are about to get cuaght, Ultra Magnus slides, literally slides in, and start pushing us away.
BuzzyBee: He screams ‘Run!!!’ and then we all run and we can hear both Ultra Magnus and the officer behind us, following us. I’m not kidding, we run so much that eventually, we lose the officer. And then, jsut as we slow down, Ultra Magnus shoves us into a door we didn’t even know were there and tells us to stay there till he comes back.
BuzzyBee: We’ve just been exploring ever since.
Prowlaround: Yeah. That did actually happen.
OptimusofPrime: Are you all okay? Can you make it out of the school?
BuzzyBee: Yes and Hell NO!!!
BuzzyBee: We are essentially in a room with one exit, which was also the entrance.
Megabitch: Are you all…okay?
Prowlaround: I believe the only thing needed to be fixed here are Sari’s sprained wrist and Bee’s annoying personality. Otherwise, we’re all mostly fine.
BulkingUp: Yeah. The rest of us only have small scrapes and bruises here and there.
BuzzyBee: Someone should probably go and vouch for Ultra M though. He might be a prick
BuzzyBee: (he totally is)
BuzzyBee: but he was also the one who save our asses. We owe him now
OptimusofPrime: Yeah, you right.
OptimusofPrime: @Pademonium, @Smittenwithyou, @Hymning, @ItsJeopardy
OptimusofPrime: will one of you go get Alpha Trion while the others go vouch for Ultra Magnus?
Pandemonium: Sure.
Pandemonium: Smite, you and Hymn go get the others and deal with the police.
Pandemonium: Jeopardy, wanna come with me to go get a librarian?
It'sJeopardy: Sure! Let’s go!
Arachnidphobia: Wait, what you mean ‘deal with the police’?
Smitttenwithyou: Oh. You’ll see.
Hymning: This is probably going to be on the news tonight
Pandemonium: Just don’t go overboard. And don’t let the others go overboard either. Kay?
Hymning: Yes ma’am
Smittenwithyou: Of course
Pandemonium: Good. Jeopardy, let’s go.
@Pademonium, @Smittenwithyou, @Hymning, @ItsJeopardy have left the chat
Arachnidphobia: I’m scared.
Striker: Guys! Where did Optimus and Megatron go???!!!!!????!!!
BuzzyBee: What do you mean?
Shockinglyontime: I saw them walking back to the school
Shockinglyontime:.................
Shockinglyontime: Oh my Primus Optimus and Megatron are going to murder Tarn!!!
Arachnidphobia: Well what are you all waiting for!!!!! Go after them!!!!!
Blitzingthroughlife: We’re all so screwed
Screamingatthevoid: for once, I agree with you Blitz
BuzzyBee: Optimus…..
BuzzyBee: Was that you on the speaker’s just now?
OptimusofPrime: o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ
Arachnidphobia: (⊙o⊙)
Arachnidphobia: (⊙_⊙;)
Arachnidphobia: The hell you mean ‘o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ’
Megabitch: Let’s just say he said some very unfavorable things
Megabitch: And also threatened manslaughter towards many, many people.
OptimusofPrime: If imma go to jail again, it’s gonna be because I did something. Not because some stupid bitch like Sentinel wanted to ruin my already shredded reputation.
Megabitch: See what I mean?
Arachnidphobia: Holy shit!!!!
BulkingUp: Optimus, what if we don’t want you to go to jail??
Blitzingthroughlife: Prison break!!!!!!!!!!
Screamingatthevoid: Y’know. That sounds fun
Shockinglyontime: I am not going on the run with you all.
Shockinglyontime: That’d be hell
Striker: Can we please focus on the matter at hand???
Striker: Smite is literally barreling into cops left and right
Striker: Hymn was able to lockpick Ultra Magnus’ handcuffs and is now fleeing the scene in a fashion that makes me think she wants to get caught again.
Striker: The few cops that aren’t getting their shit rocked have started pulling out tasers
Striker: And I just heard at least forty people side with what Optimus just said over the intercom.
Striker: This entire school is going to hell!!!!
Megabitch: I mean…yeah.
Megabitch: But isn’t this fun??
Striker: Optimus. You are the only one I know who can get everyone to listen to you.
Striker: Please, get everyone to calm down and get somewhere safe.
OptimusofPrime:.............
OptimusofPrime: Fine. I’ll make another announcement.

Op
“People of Cybertronian High. As you all have probably guessed it, this is one of your Student Council Representatives speaking. Listen, I know that all of you are tired and exhausted and every other word for what I just said. I know that you’ve all been wanting some fun, some excitement around here, and the faction war between my own faction and the Decepticons has become an interesting topic concerning school matters.
But please. Is burning down the school and harming your classmates any way for you to be satisfied with the kind of chaos you all need?
What was supposed to happen tonight, the festival, was supposed to be a place where you all could release the chaotic energy that the lot of you held, and now because of this entire fiasco, that might not come to fruition tonight.
So I implore you, stay inside your classes or find a class to stay inside while we deal with everything. We don’t need more people getting hurt.”

Screamingatthevoid: Damn that man is fucking rich. I’m pretty sure that entire briefcase was filled with stacks of hundred dollar bills.
BuzzyBee: That is not a teacher’s salary. What does he do?

OptimusofPrime: I call Sentinel!
BuzzyBee: Ooh! Tell me what happens!!!

BuzzyBee: Blitz
BuzzyBee: You’re such a buzzkill
Shockinglyontime: Hehe
Shockinglyontime: Buzz
Screamingatthevoid: You all better get yo asses down here.

Screamingatthevoid: I believe the jettwins already have.
Screamingatthevoid: And Mr. Rodimus is narrating the fight!!
Prowlaround: I’m sorry?
Luggernaught: Has anyone seen Strika??
Striker: I’m in the giant crowd of people watching Optimus prowl around Sentinel like a fucking predator
Striker: Seriosuly, where did he learn this stuff??
Shockinglyontime: We should ask his mom after this
BuzzyBee: Oh Primus.
BuzzyBee: Ms. Vesta is going to be pissed
Prowlaround: Back to the matter at hand here.
Prowlaround: You said Mr. Rodimus was narrating the fight?
Screamingatthevoid: Yeah, he is.

BulkingUp: Guys. Ultra Magnus is going your way
BuzzyBee: Oh! Yeah he is!
BuzzyBee: Bee careful.
Blitzingthroughlife: I’m leaving you.
BuzzyBee: What? You can’t leave me here with the nurse! You gotta take me with you so I can see Optimus KO Sentinel
Arachnidphobia: I think everybody wants to watch Optimus KO Sentinel
Striker: Well, he actuallt just might if Sentinel won’t stop talking shit
Screamingatthevoid: Oh shit!
Screamingatthevoid: He just insulted his mom!
Screamingatthevoid: And told him that his dad should’ve given up on helping and supporting them a long time ago!
Megabitch: Excuse me????
Screamingatthevoid: Guys! Optimus froze.
Striker: Starscream I am facing the dude, and the look that he’s giving Sentinel is downright murderous.
Striker: No one give him a knife!
Screamingatthevoid: Jazz just gave him a knife
Striker: Welp.
Striker: Sentinel’s parents are gonna need to invest in some plastic surgery for their dear pretty white boy because Optimus sure as hell ain’t gonna hold back
Prowlaround: Is not one stopping him??
Screamingatthevoid: I think everyon’s just too scared to at this point.
Striker: Mr. Rodimus is till narrating though
Screamingatthevoid: It’s hilaious
Arachnidphobia: Are we gonna have to break Optimus out of juvie
Arachnidphobia: That’s assault with a deadly weapon.
Striker: I don’t thiink so
Striker: Optimus hasn’t done anything with the knife. He’s just been looking at it then looking back at Sentinel as if he’s contemplating muder
BuzzyBee: HowToGetAwayWithMurder - Stream on ……
Megabitch: Very funny Bee
Striker: Megatron. Where are you to stop your boyfriend?
Megabitch: Dealing with Tarn
Striker: Ah
Screamingatthevoid: Okay. So.
Screamingatthevoid: Optimus just threw the kinfe away from him towards the ground and then lunged at Sentinel
Screamingatthevoid: There’s blood and eveything.
Striker: Somebody should do something before Optimus kills Sentinel
BuzzyBee: But do we have to?
Shockinglyontime: I mean
Shockinglyontime: If we don’t we’ll all robably be considered accomplises in the case trial of Sentinel’s murder.
BuzzyBee: Would anyone genuinely be ruined by this?
Soundingthealarm: Negative
Soundingthealarm: Sentinel’s parents do not even want
Megabitch: That makse me so happy
BulkingUp: Dayum
Arachnidphobia: Heh
@ Pandemonium has joined the chat
Pandemonium: What the hell happened here?
Pandemonium: Also, I go Trion
Screamingatthevoid: The basics is that Sentinel screw some shit up like he always did and now Optimus is beating the shit out of him
Screamingatthevoid: Nvm
Screamingatthevoid: He stopped
OptimusofPrime: I stopped for now. Who knows how I feel later.
Shockinglyontime: Welcome back!
Pandemonium: Please do not go to jail
@ Pandemonium has left the chat
Striker: Isn’t typing on your phone uncomfortable. I mean, your hands are covered in blood and you’re getting it all over your phone. Doesn’t that feel weird?
OptimusofPrime: Once you’ve done it enough, you get used to it
Megabitch: Do we wanna know??
OptimusofPrime: Not unless you all want your preconceived notion of me to be destroyed
Arachnidphobia: It already is hun
Striker: Don’t say that around Megs. He’ll get possessive
SayingSari: I thought they weren’t dating
Blitzingthroughlife: They aren’t supposed to be. They said they were posing a fake relationship
Screamingatthevoid: Watching as these two stare into each other’s eyes after meeting back up, the both of them covered in blood but still looking like they’re about to make out without a care in the world, I don’t think their relationship is fake anymore.
BuzzyBee: No. I’m pretty sure they’re still pretending. You know. You gotta smile for the camera and all that.
SayingSari: What camera?
BuzzyBee: The metaphorical camera Sar.
SayingSari: Ohhhhhhhhhh
Blitzingthroughlife: The question is though
Blitzingthroughlife: Did they make out?
Striker: No. Just kissed then split off to go deal with the police and the other students
Screamingatthevoid: I swear. If we ever decided to become villains, they’d be the serial killer duo
Screamingatthevoid: They don’t care about the blood covering them at all
Shockinglyontime: What makes you think we won’t become villains???
Screamingatthevoid: True. True
Luggernaught: I found Tarn. Or at least. His body
Luggernaught: I have no idea if he’s still alive
Arachnidphobia: What did Megs do??
Luggernaught: Someone had a gun. But it was not used unless Megatron has a bullet wound none of you can see.
Screamingatthevoid: Nope. No bullet wound here
Luggernaught: And there wasn’t any bullet wound on Tarn meaning the gun was thrown away and Megatron started punching him. A lot. And hard.
BuzzyBee: Guys. Does this mean the festival is off?
SayingSari: I’m right next to Alpha Trion. Do you want me to ask?
BuzzyBee: yes
Blitzingthroughlife: Please
Shockinglyontime: sure
SayingSari: Okay
SayingSari: He said yes as long as we can get the police off the property and make sure they don’t come back for the actual party.
BuzzyBee: Deal
OptimusofPrime: Great
BuzzyBee: Finally done making out with big gray and handsome?
OptimusofPrime: You’re dead to me Bee
BuzzyBee: I love you too
11 September, 7:26
–Video Excerpt–
OP “People of Cybertronian High! Welcome to the Festival marking the beginning of our hell year! Can I get a cheer from you all?
*Crowd cheers rambunctiously and deafeningly loud.*
Megs “We all understand that what happened today during school was insanely chaotic! But that should not stop the year from being fun! So, are we going to stand by and be controlled by the year?”
*Crowd boo’s loudly.*
OP “Or are we going to take this year into our hands and guid it!?”
*Crowd cheers even louder.*
OP “Perfect!”
Megs “Now, without further ado…Shockwave, Soundwave, play it!”
*Music begins through the loudspeakers and the crowd cheers even louder.*

SayingSari: Hey guys, would any of you mind if I added the Student council into the chat? I promise, they’re good.

–
–Video Excerpt–
*Whoever is holding the camera (Optimus) is walking out of the school and encounter Vesta Pax standing in front of the police officers still there, her arms crossed and glaring at all of them. The officers look like they all got lectured.*
OP “Mom!”
Vesta “Oh, darling! You’re alright.”
*Vesta runs over and drags Optimus into a hug before pushing back and checking him over for wounds. She then turns to Megatron and does the same before grabbing their arms.*
Vesta “Come on, I’ll lead you to the car.”
*One of the braver officers comes over, handcuffs in hand and mouth open as if to say something. Vesta’s face hardens and she turns abruptly toward the officer.*
Officer “Vesta– I mean. Ma’am. I have to speak against you bringing these criminals to your house. Both of them have put two alumni in the hospital because of their wounds and we have a gun with the bigger ones’ finger prints on it.”
Vesta “Jacob. Don’t you dare start speaking about that when I know for a fact that there are multiple things you have done things way worse than these kids. I'm taking them home ‘cause god knows they won’t be treated right in a jail cell with you or any of your friends there, and then we don’t have to talk about this again. Don’t think I don’t know you’re going against the very thing your boss and the council told you to do.”
*The officer looks incredibly guilty and he sighs before walking away. Vesta turns back to Optimus and Megatron and gestures for them to follow her before turning and walking towards her car.
They both follow her.*

OptimusofPrime: Oh. My. Primus!!
OptimusofPrime: Ultra Magnus could’ve been helping this entire time if I had just asked??
Megabitch: That doesn’t really excuse his actions and not stopping Setninel, but things are starting to make sense.
OptimusofPrime: Oh yeah. No scrap
–Video Excerpt–
12 September, 8:45
“Well this has just been a rollercoaster of emotions hasn’t it?” Megs
(Megatron scoots over to Optimus’ side where he is perched on the roof, legs tucked under him as he stared at the sunset.)
“Heh. Yeah. You're right.” OP
“Hey, is everything alright?”
(Megatron hooks his finger under Optimus’ chin and turns his head so he can look at him.)
“Orion?”
(Tears start falling from the corners of Optimus’ eyes and he grabs Megatron’s hand like a lifeline. He bows into the others barrel chest, body racking with sobs as he grips Megatron’s shirt.)
“My dad texted me today. He told me he found out that mom was awake. He’s gonna try to come back.”
(He whispered, his voice cracking as his sobs grew. Megatron can feel his shirt getting wet but doesn’t care and just wraps his arms around Optimus’ waist, pulling him flush against him.)
“We’ll make sure he won’t try to do anything. He doesn’t deserve you or your mom.”
(Megatron whispered, his voice confident as he rubbed Optimus’ back soothingly. He shifts so he can see Optimus’ face, then gently places a chaste kiss on his forehead.)
“I promise. With my heart and my soul that I will protect you.”
(Optimus’ sobs slowly cease as Megatron whispers and hums towards him comfortingly. Eventually, Optimus looks up, pressing his forehead against Megatron’s.)
“You know…”
(He starts cautiously, as if he’s afraid. He grips Megatron’s hand, as if scared he’ll pull away after explaining.)
“You saying that you promise to protect me with your heart and soul…well. That’s basically one of the main vows that couples tell each other when they are getting married. Essentially, you just proposed to me and married me in one simple sentence.”
(Megaron stalled, his eyes widening as his grip goes lax. Optimus worries at his lip, starting to pull away and apologize before he’s pulled back into Megatron’s chest.)
“It’s not supposed to go like this.”
(Megatron bemoaned, hugging Optimus tightly to himself as he looked up.)
“Like what?”
“It’s supposed to go friendship, dating –hopefully for a long time–, then marriage, then maybe kids, then grow old together. Not, ‘dating’, friendship, marriage, then whatever next.”
(Optimus chuckled, at Megatron’s huffed out explanation, gently pulling back to look him in the eyes.)
“We aren’t really officially married till we have The Ceremony, but if you want to think we’re married, I wouldn’t mind.”
*A brief pause*
“Dearest.”
(Megatron fell back onto the roof, taking Optimus with him. He groaned, deep red eyes finding Optimus’ bright blue ones.)
“Do you want to kill your husband, Orion? Do you? Because I swear if you do, you're on the right track.”
“No dearest, I don’t want to kill you.”
“Uh huh. Whatever you say.”
“Don’t you think we should go back down?”
“Do you want to?”
“Absolutely not. Mom probably already knows about this since Basil is a snitch so I’d rather not have to face her excitement-wrath mix. And I’d also like to spare you from that as well.”
“Oh. Please. Listen, I love the fact that your mom is going to become my mother-in-law, but I’d rather not have her kill me before the marriage.”
(Optimus rolled his eyes at Megatron’s antics, smile settling into something soft and gentle as he stared up at Megatron from where he laid on his chest.)
“You really think you’d want to marry a screw up like me when we’re old enough to?”
(Megatron pauses in his ramblings and stares down at Optimus, eyes intense.)
“Orion Pax. I swear to Primus and…who’s the god that your culture swears to?”
“Ahnera.”
“Orion Pax. I swear to both Primus and Ahnera, I will protect you from any scrutiny that ever comes your way. I will deal with anyone who makes you think you're lesser for being you. And I swear, to any other gods out there, that I will love you for my entire god-damned life. Because you are mine. And I…am yours.”
(Silence descended upon the two of them, the sun long since set. They both cuddled to beat the cold away, reveling in each other’s presence.)
“That’s a large promise, Megs. Are you sure you’ll be able to keep it?”
“No one will be able to keep me away from you, meaning no one will be able to stop me from keeping it.”
“.........I trust you. And……I……I want to love you. A lot.”
“I'll prove to you, Orion Pax, that I am ultimately the most worthy of your love.”
(The both of them stared at each other, their eyes slipping closed as they moved into each other, mouths slotting together like the last piece of a puzzle. Downstairs, Vesta Pax looks up at the roof, eyebrows raised with a smile on her face. Their bond was special, made of the aura of a non-magic and the energy of a born-magic. Anyone who came across them, who tried to separate their bond, would deal with a severe backlash of magic and anger.)

–Video Excerpt–
13 September, 3:21
(Megatron and Optimus are sitting on a pile of pillows, blankets and his mattress they had dragged onto the floor. Optimus has a bowl of silver hair dye in his lap and is spreading it onto Megatron’s hair while Megatron watches a series they had decided to put on. Basil is curled around them)
“I can’t believe I let you do this.”
(Optimus chuckles as Megatron sighs and he tilts Megatron’s head up so they're looking into each others’ eyes.)
“It’s a cultural thing. I can stop if you want.”
“No. Don’t you dare stop. It feels nice and I’m just complaining, kay?”
(Optimus doesn’t respond, just nods and tilts Megatron's head forward so he can continue. After a few minutes of silence, Optimus starts talking.)
“You said that you wanted to see ‘my world’ right? Well, I don’t know if we’ll be able to go for a while, but I can certainly explain it to you. If you would like.”
“Yes, I would like that. Very much.”
“Well, it looks a little bit like how you see magical worlds in movies, y’know? There are still castles and most roads are dirt roads, the only other type being cobblestone which lead in between the main kingdoms. There aren’t any cars in the world, most there think that it’s a very dangerous game to play, mechanical machines are not made for magical people, so most use horses. Or teleportation aids.
“The lands sprawl with creatures of all types, feral and tamed, but it’s beautiful. Flowers bloom almost everywhere, most of their uses being potions or elixirs, but it’s beautiful, especially in the blooming season. The forests are filled with trees of all different kinds, most of them being color changing depending on the ‘mood of the forest’ or whatever.”
(Optimus paused, his eyes distant as he slowly stopped talking.)
“I haven’t been back in so long.”
(He whispered before looking at Megatron with a gentle smile.)
“I think you’re going to be one of the main reasons why I can go back.”
“All the more reason to take me.”
“All the more reason to take you.”

Megabitch: Get everyone together and away from him and get out of here

Megabitch: He wants to finish the job of killing me for our parents approval
Arachnidphobia: What?
Megabitch: Damnit Blackarachnia!

Megabitch: I need you all to be safe
Megabitch: Please Blackarachnia
Arachnidphobia: Okay. But what do I tell the others?
Megabitch: Just tell them I’ll explain everything later.
Megabitch: And if I don’t come back, show them these texts
Arachnidphobia: What do you mean by that?
Megabitch: I told you. He came here to kill me
Megabitch: And I fear that might actually happen
Arachnidphobia: Megs
Megabitch: I’m almost to you
Megabitch: I’m turning off my phone now
Arachnidphobia: Megs

Notes:
Sorry for the late update. Life's been chaotic. I'll try to post a few more chapters in the next few weeks
Chapter 24: The Fight pt1
Summary:
(One man with dark brown hair and some haphazard black, gray and purple clothes looks around, confused. He turns around, exiting the Jewelry shop he had been in. His red eyes land on a man walking up, silver gray hair, red and gray clothes. He has a grimace on his face as the two stare at each other.)
“Megazarak.”

–Video Excerpt–

(Blackarachnia shakes her phone before looking around her. She grimaces before shaking her head and runs towards the fire alarm, yanking it down. A loud alarm blares out, making everyone panic, and they all start running for the exits, Orion and Vesta quickly finding Blackarachnia and letting her lead them out.)
(One man with dark brown hair and some haphazard black, gray and purple clothes looks around, confused. He turns around, exiting the Jewelry shop he had been in. His red eyes land on a man walking up, silver gray hair, red and gray clothes. He has a grimace on his face as the two stare at each other.)
“Megazarak.”
“Brother. Such a pleasure to see you again.” Megazarak purrs, voice filled with false kindness as he spreads his arms wide as if to bring Megatron into a hug.
(Megatron steps away from him, scowling.)
“Don’t act nice brother. We both know why you are here.”
(Megazarak’s face falls, lips turning into a scowl.)
“Well, I guess you aren’t as dumb as you were given credit for.”
“Seeing as I’m not trying to get approval from psychopaths who enjoy seeing children suffer, I’d say I’m fairly smart.”
(Megazarak snarled and lunged at Megatron, making him jump backwards. Some of his shirt started dying red and he placed a hand over where he’d been cut.)
“Aren’t these fights supposed to be fair? I don’t have a weapon, you can’t have one either. Or else you’ll be disowned. Re-mem-ber?”
(Megazarak snarled once again, taking out a different dagger and throwing it down onto the floor next to Megatron.)
“Get up and fight me.”
(Megatron stands and takes the dagger, flipping it around once, twice, before getting into a fighting position.)
“May the best one win, Megazarak.”

Arachnidphobia: I did
Shockinglyontime: I know this probably shouldn’t matter to us, but that’s a crime Arachnia
Arachnidphobia: I didn’t know what else to do!
Arachnidphobia: Megatron asked me to get everyone out of the building!

Arachnidphobia: He’s gone

Arachnidphobia: Miss Mom and I are looking for him and she’s getting worried because we can’t see him
Prowlaround: Could he have gone back into the building

(Megatron grunted as his knife met with Megazarak’s, tilting it up and making the other man slide off it before flipping it and stabbing it down into his shoulder. Megazarak yelped and Megatron jumped back as he swiped at him.)
“You’ve fallen brother.”
(Megatron growled, looking around the room towards the giant clock on the wall. There was a possibility that people would start coming back in so he needed to finish this. And hopefully, if his brother had brought his team, they hadn’t found his yet.)
“Don’t get too cocky, Megatron. I still have time to kill you.”
“Please, try it brother.”

(Optimus adjusted the bracelets on his arms as he walked closer to where the three of them had been previously before Blackarachnia had pulled the fire alarm. He needed to find Megatron. Just as he was about to turn a corner, a shadow covered him from behind and he turned, taking a step back at the man in front of him.)
(Dark blue hair, narrow, red eyes, white and red clothes. A giant knife in his hand.)
“So you must be one of Megatron’s group, huh?”
“What’s it to you?”
“Everything, little one. It depends on your life.”
“You’ll kill me if I say yes?”
“Naturally.”
“And you’re confident I won’t say no already.”
“Of course! Who else would run into the building when our men are guarding all entrances.”
“Oh. Those are your men? They’re quite bad at doing their jobs, don’t you think?”
(The man’s face twists from the satisfied smirk he had been wearing to a sharp scowl.)
“Why would you say that?”
“I mean, I’m in. And so are they.”
(The man turned his head, looking for the ones Optimus was talking about. When he turned back, that satisfied smirk still on his face, Optimus was gone. He looked around confused, turning this way and that, and shrugged, starting to walk away. He heard a low growl and turned, stepping back as he came face to face with stone cold, green eyes.)
“Basil, calm down honey.”
(The man stepped back, watching as the large, green snake looking creature reared its head back, flicking its tongue out. Orion was standing under it, one hand pressed against its body and preventing it from darting forward.)
“This is Basil. She’s a basilisk. Do you know what they do?”
(The snake hissed, its tongue flicking again, and Orion moved out of its way, letting it dart forward towards the larger man. He started running, dropping the giant knife he’d been holding and sprinting away.)
(Orion walked over and picked the knife up, examining it before hiding it in one of the nearby shops and continuing on his search. He needed to find Megatron.)
Chapter 25: The Fight Pt2
Summary:
SMJazz: Does anyone know of any other entrances?
Blitzingthroughlife: No. But I do know a way to get the guards as this secluded exit door to move
Striker: Please tell me you aren’t going to pepperspray them
Blitzingthroughlife: Not at all
Blitzingthroughlife: I found a metal pipe

Striker: How’s Miss Mom acting?
Arachnidphobia: Utterly pissed off. She’s looking at the building as if it’s wronger her
BuzzyBee: What do we do?
Striker: I don’t think there’s anything we can do
SayingSari: What do you mean?
Striker: Unless we can find a way to sneak past those dudes standing at the front, I think we’ll all just have to stay out here

“So, Optimus and Megatron are inside the building, Megatron is fighting his brother to the death because he wants their parents' approval, and Optimus is currently unresponsive.
Did I get all that right?” Vesta
“Yeah.” Bla
“Pretty much.” Stri
“And Blitzwing wants to beat the shit out of the guards standing in front of that exit over there with a metal pipe?” Vesta
“Yes!!” Blitz
“Give me the pipe. I’ll do it. I’m the adult here.”
(Blitzwing reluctantly gives the large, metal pipe to Vesta and she tests it out on her palm before looking towards the exit, a scowl on her face.)
“I swear to Ahnera, if I ever meet Megs’ parents I will make sure I will be the only one walking out of that interaction.”
(She stalks forward, grip so tight on the pipe that the metal starts to bend. A large field of anger drips from her, making most of the others lean back.)
*Laughs nervously* “I’m so glad we aren’t the ones under her ire.” Bla
“No shit.” Stri
“I wonder how Optimus and Megatron are holding up.” Sari

(Optimus runs through the mall, bright blue eyes darting from place to place as he tries to find Megatron. He can hear Basil a few stores over, her hisses seeming to echo through the mall as she turns people to stone.)
(Optimus clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he slowed to a stop. He’d never find Megatron like this, wandering aimlessly through the mall. They could be moving all around and he wouldn’t be able to find them because of how slow he was being.)
‘What would mom do?’
(Optimus focused on his surroundings. Like he had explained to the others, non-mages had auras. And he’d been so close to Megatron that his energy had started reaching out for him even when they were in the same room. He just needed to find Megatron’s aura. That would be it.)
(He leaned onto his heels and his energy sparked, zooming off to his left like an eager puppy running towards its owner. He looked towards where Basil was and gave a small wave before sprinting the same way his energy had reached.)
(The bracelets on his arms started glowing, expanding to encompass his entire forearm and hand, turning into dark blue gauntlets. He was going to help Megatron, he didn’t care what it took.)

Notes:
Sorry for the really late update. I've been in a mixture of working till I'm exhausted, getting sick, helping a friend on their own fic for ideas, and then sleeping for at least ten hours straight. It's been chaos. I will try to get a longer chapter out the next time, but I make no promises since I'll be getting back to school soon and that might take up some time.
Sorry. Really. I don't know how else to apologize.
