"More Autobot pets who've wandered from their masters." Meagtron chuckled sinisterly. The other human boy was quickly going to regret not finishing him off with the drill. What an interesting turn of events.

Adrien instantly wrapped his arm around Marinette's shoulders. She buried her face into his chest, ashamed of her inability to control the terror consuming her. It was all too much to handle.

Rage and an overwhelming sense of protection surged through Adrien as he glared at Megatron. "Stay away from us," he hissed, baring his teeth almost ferally.

Megatron laughed darkly once more, entertained by Adrien's empty threat. He had seen this scenario play out so many times before in the war. The fact that it were humans this time made it even more pathetic and amusing. "Or you'll do what, boy?" Megatron questioned as he kneeled down and leaned closer to the huddled teens. "Make me rue the day that I even glanced at you and your sparkmate?" Megatron smirked as he watched Adrien's face pale and the fire in his eyes melt into terror. He was having too much fun playing with these humans. Unfortunately, he had other business to attend and a traitor that needed to be dealt with. Megatron grunted dismissingly.

"You two will be dead soon, therefore no use to me. And there is no point of killing you now without an Autobot to witness it. So consider this your lucky day fleshlings." Megatron spoke in a condescending tone. Marinette cautiously opened one eye and peaked at Megatron as he rose to standing position. "Don't expect the same conclusion next time we meet," he warned. Megatron glared at them for a moment, solidifying the threat, then moved on. His heavy footsteps shook the cavern, threatening another cave in as some rocks came loose and fell to the ground.

Adrien and Marinette remained still a long time, frozen in each other's arms.
