Since the Autobots didn't know how long it would take for them to find Starscream, they had put Megatron in a holding cell. The only ones who visited him, strangely enough, were the humans. Optimus came twice a day to give Megatron a cube of Energon. That was the only Cybertronian contact he had.

At least, that was. It's been four days since Megatron's last ration and his Energon levels were dangerously low. Where was Optimus? Megatron sat down on the berth. He could almost feel the Dark Energon slowly draining. He looked up and sighed.

The base was oddly quiet. Too quiet. Typically, if the Autobots were to go on a mission, he'd hear Ratchet at the computer. If the Autobots were recharging, he would hear Ratchet working.

The sound of an Engine caught Megatron's attention. It sounded like a...semi? The noise grew louder until the vehicle was directly in front of his cell. It looked nothing like Optimus. Instead of a red and blue paint job, this vehicle had a mix of grey, orange, and blue. But why?

Miko and Raf climbed out of the vehicle. The engine shut off and Jack jumped out of the drivers seat with a set of keys in hand. The humans easily slipped between the bars of Megatron's holding cell.

"Hi, Megatron.", Raf greeted, Megatron slightly smiled though he looked incredibly tired and weak.

"Megatron?", Jack asked, "Something wrong?"

"Yeah. You look a little tired and.....weak.", Miko said, noticing the dull look in the warlord's optics.

"Optimus has yet to come with my Energon ration.", Megatron answered, "My Energon levels are at 20 percent."

"Optimus and the others aren't here. They got a lead on Starscream's whereabouts on Tuesday and haven't returned. That's why we haven't been here these past four days.", Jack explained.

"If your Energon levels end up at 0, what will happen to you?", Raf asked.

"I will perish.", Megatron said, "And cease to exist."

"So, you'll die?", Miko asked, Megatron nodded.

"Don't worry. We'll get you your Energon.", Jack said, "Alright, here's the plan."

Jack, Raf, and Miko got in the semi. Jack drove to the main silo an dropped Miko off so she could get the key to the cell. Jack and Raf went to the Energon storage vault. Once inside, Raf brought out a prototype he's been working on. A device that can lift anything up to ten million pounds. This would be the test run.

Raf activated the machine and was able to successfully get two cubes of Energon into the trailer. The boys went back to Miko who had the key to the cell. When they returned to their friend, he had moved to the floor and his optics were flickering.

"Megatron. We have Energon for you.", Raf said.

Miko unlocked the cell using a code on a data pad that was connected to the cell. Jack drove the semi further in. Raf jumped out and opened the back doors so Megatron could grab the first cube. The trio watched with worry as Megatron drank both cubes. After an hour, his Energon levels were back to 100 percent.

"Uh, guys. While I was getting the code, I found a message from Wheeljack. The Autobots got captured in their attempt to save your comrade.", Miko said to Megatron, "If we want to save her, we have to go now and save her and the Autobots as a team."

"I cannot risk Starscream getting you and injuring you or worse.", Megatron said.

"We'll stick with you and follow your command.", Jack said, "Starscream said you needed a team, right? He didn't say if it had to be Cybertronian or not."

Megatron thought for a moment, knowing Optimus would most likely kill him for letting the children go. However, Jack had a point. The Autobots were a team, yet they failed. What if the team required humans?

"We'll need a plan.", Megatron said, "And it has to be a good one."

After hours of planning and careful consideration, they were ready. They didn't just have a team, they had an army and the humans were leading alongside Megatron.

-Three days earlier; Normal POV-

I shook in fear as Starscream squeezed me. He was getting impatient. A banging sound echoed through the ship. Starscream had taken cover in an old Decepticon ship. He was using what he could to keep me imprisoned. I silently hoped that Megatron was here. I have received a lot of injuries the past week.

Starscream had decided to torture me to get what information I could. I wouldn't spill anything about either side. I was thrown to the side carelessly causing more bruises to form. A series of yells were heard as each Cybertronian set off a trap set by Starscream. When he returned, Starscream had a bunch of Autobots behind him, each were cuffed.

So, Megatron didn't come. If he didn't come today, he may never come. I looked down at the ground as tears came to my eyes yet again. I got up slowly and crawled away from Starscream. Actually, I was pulling myself. I couldn't feel my legs that well.
