Sunstreaker drove as fast as he could. He knows the whole plan. He knew where Nichole really is, and he is going to get her. He must save her. Before any of the others returned and figured out what was really happening. He could feel his twin trying to contact him, trying to get him to come, but it would be no use. He had more important things to deal with at this moment. Skidding around corners, honking his horn to get people out of the way, he had no idea if he would make it in time. His spark's beat was miles per minute, almost ready to explode. If anything happened to Nichole it would be his fault, course everything was already his fault. "Nichole please be okay." He kept saying in his helm, over and over.

*------------------*

Megatron flew through the air with grace and poise. Something that was unfamiliar to her as she sat in the cockpit. Flying was never her thing. She only flew once and that was on her way back from Afghan, leaving Diesel behind. "Will you get your dirty nasty claws out of my interior!" He growled throughout the cockpit. "Maybe you shouldn't have made me fly with you." She snarled back at him, digging her nails in even further. He cried out in pain. This made her raise an eyebrow and a smirk crawled onto her face. She proceeded to do it again. "Fleshie! If you do that again, I will flip over and let you fall out of my cockpit." His voice echoing around her. "Then do it!" She taunted as she dragged her nails down the armrest of the seat she was slammed into. He needed her, and she knew it, so all he could do was grumble and keep flying. This satisfied her enough to get her to stop doing it.

Nichole had no idea how long they had been flying for. All she knew was she couldn't wait until she was touching the ground again. It wasn't much longer until Megatron transformed mid flight and landed on the ground, Nichole in his servo. "Humph!" She groaned after the rough landing. He scoffed at her complaining and began to walk forward. She looked around, taking in the surroundings, trying to keep herself from falling as he took some ungraceful steps. Brick buildings surrounded them, honking form cars and screaming females rang all around. Her mind wondered around where he was taking her. It looked like her old base. A place she hasn't been to in a year or two. Her last few years in the Marines were spent overseas. Why would he bring her here, it's not like she was anything special to anyone or anything on base anymore. Though, she didn't think she was. She always thought of herself as a someone no one wanted to be around. She intimidated people, scaring them into submission. Marines in her unit never wanted her around, especially after her first deployment with her unit.

The building's blurred around her as they moved, she's unable to tell where they are on the base. Megatron stood just as tall as most of them. It wasn't much longer until Megatron stopped in front of a large, tall and wide building. It took her a few moments to figure out the building they were standing in front of. "Why are we at my old shop?" She asked looking down at the sign on the building. "Your going to fetch me Diesel's old tool bag." He explained. She looked at him like he was stupid. "You know his bag was probably left in Afghanistan right?" She sneered. None to gently he plopped her on the ground. "I already know its here. I need that bag." He grumbled.

One last glare and she headed into the mechanic bay of her old unit. Just as she was to hit the tool room she was stopped by an old mate. "Sgt. James." The man stammered. "Cpl George, I need the tool bag for truck 659726." She ordered. Her eyes dead and impatient. "That's one of the trucks we lost overseas. We wouldn't have that gear." "Don't bother lying. I know its here." She interrupted. The young Corporal stood for a moment, unsure of what to say, then gave a sigh, turning and leading her to the tool room. No words were said between the two. They could hear the Marines outside beginning to yell orders as they noticed Megatron standing just outside. George didn't' need to question what he was here for. It took him a few moments, but in the back of a quadcon, he dug out an old torn up bag and handed it to her.

"Get out of here now! Take as many as you can with you!" She ordered. She has no clue what is in this bag that is so important to Megatron, but she knew he would kill to get it. Part of her wanted to run, but another part of her didn't want anyone to pay for her doing. She decided to look in the bag before going back out there. She laid the bag on the desk in the corner of the tool room. Brushing a few loose strands of hair behind her ear, she untied the bag and rolled it open. The moss green bag held a variety of tools, hammer, wrenches, screwdrivers and other items, but there was one item in the bag that didn't make sense. It was a long cylinder like capsule. About the size of a hammer, making it easy to hide. It is glowing a bright blue color and seemed to be pulsating. "Woah. What the hell is this?" She asked herself, seeming to become mesmerized by the cylinder. Crushing sound of a wall jolted her back into reality. "Fuck." She whispered, quickly wrapping up the tool bag and running back into the shop bay.

Megatron had collapsed some of the building, rock and debris flung everywhere, dust covering the air. Nichole coughed as she climbed over the broken-down wall. "What took you so long?!?" His voiced echoed as he walked into the bay, causing more dust to rise. "Getting your stupid package, what do you think I was doing?" She shouted back to him. Without warning he shot a truck that was in the bay, causing it to go up in flames. She looked around to make sure know one was in the area, seeing know one she let her shoulders drop a little. Then that's when she heard it. The sound that caused her heart rate to speed up. A roar of the engine that calmed her senses. She turned quickly, jumping over debris to find the source, but before she could get very far, she was snatched up. "Put me down you big lug!" She cried out, clinging to the tool bag.

He stood there, holding her tight as a golden sight drifted to a stop in front of the collapsing building. "Megatron!" A husky voice roared from the Lamborghini as it transformed. "Let her go!" His optics flickering between red and blue. "Sunstreaker, how nice of you to join us." Megatron said sarcastically. "Sunstreaker!" Nichole yelled in excitement. A smile shined brightly on her face as she looked at her mech. He came to rescue her. As much as her pride wanted to be against it, she couldn't help be overjoyed to see him. Her smile vanished as Megatron ripped the bag out of her hands and let her drop to the floor. Sunstreaker's reflexes were quick and he was able to catch her. "Nichole I'm so sorry." He whispered as he sat her gently on the floor. "There is no need to save her Sunstreaker. Her use is done with." Megatron snickered. "Why is he talking to you like that?" She questioned him. Her eyes losing the light that had started to fill them. "You got what you wanted, let her go." Sunstreaker ordered. "You know I can't let her live."

Megatron thrashed his sword out, aimed at Nichole. She had no time to think, no time to move. Sunstreaker was quick to get over her as the sword sliced down hitting his armored forearms. Sunstreaker pushed himself up, pushing against the sword that was slowly cutting into his armor. "You dare fight against me. After the deal you made?" Megatron thundered. Nichole looked between them confused. The two glaring at each other, snarling. Megatron couldn't help but notice her confused look, thus making him begin to laugh evilly. "You never told her. I would of thought you would of told your precious sparkmate." "What the hell is going on?" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Sunstreaker looked down at her, pain and sorrow showing on his face and more in his optics. "Well go on, Sunstreaker. Tell her how it was all you. You helped locate Diesel. You helped Optimus to located what was 'needed' from Cybertron. Helping me get Optimus out of the way, so I could get my secret weapon back. I must thank you. I'm very surprised you were able to keep it to yourself." Megatron taunted. "Please tell me it's not true?" Nichole cried up to Sunstreaker, her eyes filled with hurt and anger. "Oh, it's true. Better believe it. They are never coming back, why because Sunstreaker here helped me destroy them." Megatron chuckled evilly. "No!" She screamed.

She fell to her knees, they were unable to hold her weight anymore. Her hands to her side, eyes wide in confusion, they wander over his face, looking for a sign that he is lying. She gapes her mouth open in shock, looking for words to say. Trying to speak but nothing comes out. He looks at her unsure what to say. He never thought his secret would come out, he never wanted her to find out this way. He doesn't know what to do at this point. He wants to hold her, but instead he turns and runs. "It was only a matter of time. Too bad you meant nothing to him." Megatron who stood behind her sneered. She locked up, straightened up, and let all the emotions vanish from her face. "You got what you wanted. I'm done here." She said standing up, not looking at him. Then she marched out of the burning building. She heard him transform and fly out. She kept walking. She walked past the firefighters trying to put out the fires. She walked past Lennox and his team, unsure of how when they got there, but not caring. Lennox saw her and ran up to her, stopping her from going any further. "What happened in there?" Lennox shouted at her. "Isn't it obvious?" She shouted back. "He lied to us. He lied to all of us. It was a trap and he set it up." She continued. Lennox looked at her in shock. For he didn't have a clue.

"Where is Sunstreaker?" He finally noticed that the golden traitor wasn't there. "Long gone. Hopefully getting ambushed by the cons by now." She barked. Lennox was taken back, he knew of their relationship.She hadn't acted like this towards him in months. So why was she now. "Nichole,what's going on. What happened in there?" He tried to calm down and get answers. Nichole struggled to get words out. "Prime, Jazz, Ratchet, Ironhide and Diesel aren't going to come back, and it is all Sunstreaker's fault." She spit out, she wobbled for a moment, Lennox grabbed her arms to help keep her steady. His eyes wide in shock, he didn't believe her. There was no way he could believe what she said. He backed away from her. "No, that's not true.Sunstreaker is loyal to Prime. He would never betray the Autobots." He shook his head, looking away from her. Epps and some others had started to walk over to the two. No one had a clue of what really happened inside. Nichole was the only one that was stuck inside. She looked up at him. Anger flamed through her eyes. He should know she wouldn't lie. She clenched her fist, trying to holdback from punching him square in the jaw. "If it was a lie, Sunstreaker would still be here with us and Megatron would have been flattened." She said through her gritted teeth.
