Chapter 10
The darkness and silence of the room had visited the couple which they remained tied up after being interrogated by the the male mechanical voices. Steve Rogers and his wife were turning their heads around when they were finding a way to escape. Just then, they saw a tiny grey mouse squeaking and running through the hole in the wall. Agent R intently looked at it and deeply thought of leaving this place with her husband as the vermin gave her an instant idea.
She turned to him and said, " Steve, I have an idea in how to get out of here this instant! "
" Red, what do you mean? " he doubtfully asked.
" Well, you have superstrength, right? Perhaps, you can try to break these Vibranium chains and make a hole in the wall to escape. "
" Do you even think it's a good idea? "
" Of course, I'm positive! Why don't you give it a try? "
" Right, " Steve nodded no furiously and grimaced as he focused his superstrength in breaking the Vibranium chains around him. His maroon headed wife patiently watched him slowly tearing on the small metallic parts. She smiled and knew he could do it.
Finally, it took an hour for him to splitting the chains. Then, he turned to his wife and slowly started to crush the chains on her wrists. R slightly smiled when she saw how her husband slowly breaking them.
" Is it gonna take too long? " she asked and got concerned.
" You saw me how I got out of these chains, " Steve grinned. " It will take a long time for me to do this. "
" Heh, right! "
Steve was able to break the chains when his wife smiled and sighed in relief. He assisted Agent R to stand up and looked around for any Decepticon guards who were observing through the surveillance wall camera. The maroon headed Remnite MIB Agent thought of throwing them with the fragments of Vibranium chains and did it. The camera's lens were instantly dismantled and sparked when the couple laughed, hugged, and kissed each other.
" Now, what's next? " the blonde Avenger curiously asked his wife.
" I know how to get out of here! " she grinned. " Steve, just hold on tight! "
" Red, don't tell me..."
Agent R instantly snapped her fingers as her husband widened his eyes in fear. She instantly became a fast red blur of rose petals and brought her spouse into the hallway. Steve loudly yelled in horror which he couldn't handle the Inhuman speedstress. They reached the metallic corridors going to the doorway, but they blocked by a group of extremely tall Living Machines in front of them. The Avenger and his MIB Agent wife got halted and surrounded by them.
" Well, it's good to see you again, guys, " R dryly chuckled as her husband gave them a wryly grin. " I guess you want to bring us back to the containment cell, right? "
A tall dark male mechanical being with metallic silver limbs walked over to the couple and crossed his arms. On his chest, he had a Decepticon insignia. His fellow colleagues saluted him and turned to the couple giving them a sinister grin. Anxiously looking at them, Steve and Agent R were waiting for a miracle of being rescued from the den of vicious Living Machines.
" Earthians..." the Decepticon sneered and glared at the couple from head to toe, scanning at them. " I am not surprised you have breached the containment cell. "
" Don't tell us, you're going to put us some series of tests later on, " Steve sternly spoke. " Are you the one who called Soundwave? "
" Well, you have correctly answered your question, Soldier, " Soundwave answered.
" It's because your voice seems familiar. By the way, I have a name. It's Steve Rogers. "
" It's good to be acquainted with your kind, Steve Rogers. I am afraid you and your dearly beloved will have to meet your demise very soon, since you have never given us any pertinent answers earlier. "
Agent R became more reluctant and apprehensive to fight along with her husband as she noticed some of the mad Cybertronians were instantly adjusting their limbs into the sharpest blades. Some of them had drill bits. They were all grinning and preparing themselves to take another life. The blonde supersoldier anxiously turned his head around as his sweat on his face was slowly pouring down. Soundwave emotionlessly watched the two and waited for them to be executed. Death was lingering around the headquarters of the Decepticons as she awaited for pending two souls to come into her lair.
" Any last words for you two? " Soundwave asked.
" We don't know where the exact location of that mysterious stone that you're talking about, " R angrily retorted. " Even the one you called Skyblade, we don't have any clue of who and where he is now! ":
" LIARS! "
" But we are telling the truth! " Steve added.
" Decepticons, execute them! Make sure you dispatch their corpses afterwards! "
Steve and R realised their weapons were left at King T'Challa's base when they had gone monitoring on the streets earlier. They heavily sighed and shared glances as the evil Cybertronians acted like a pack of wolves and readied themselves in taking their prey. Soundwave leaned on the wall and maliciously smirked at them.
" I guess this is goodbye world, " the Remnite MIB Agent sadly sighed and cupped her spouse's face while looking at his sapphire irises on his eyes.
" We could have done anything better, Red, " the Avenger calmly answered and also touched his wife's smooth and lovely pinkish-white face. " We will remain together in the next life. "
" I know! I love you, Steve. "
" I love you forever, Red. "
Steve romantically placed his lips into his wife's as they passionately embraced each other. They had no choice in facing their deaths. The mad Living Machines were about to slash and drill them into their demise, but they got hindered by a loud explosion. It caused a heavy smoke and fire within the premises. The rest of the Decepticons were coughing and confused at what had transpired. One of them noticed when the married couple had disappeared in a matter of minutes.
" Commander Soundwave! " his subordinate yelled and coughed. " The two Earthians had disappeared in sight! "
Soundwave angrily clenched his metallic fists and growled, " What are you waiting for?! GET THEM! DON'T LET THEM SURVIVE IF YOU FIND THEM! "
" Yes, sir! "
An hour later, the couple were unconscious and lying at the metallic ground. The Remnite MIB Agent slowly opened her eyes and found her vision blurry. She kept rubbing and widening her eyes when she found herself and her husband on a giant palm made of hard grey alloy with its purple finger tips. She was bewildered in what she was seeing and slowly turning her head around. Agent R never realised she and Steve were thirty feet above Wakanda. Broadening her eyes in surprise and nervously gulping, she saw a Living Machine in front of her and stumbled at her husband's back. Steve got surprised when his wife accidentally fell upon him.
" Red, are you okay? " he asked with a concern.
" Steve, t-take a look! " she exclaimed.
" What on Earth! Who the heck are you?! "
" Wait, what's going on? I thought we are dead! "
" No! Just take a look! "
The blonde Avenger got startled to see the Cybertronian who rescued them into safety. He closely eyed on the same Decepticon insignia on the Living Machine's right arm, however it was close to its erasure due to weathering. Steve was more confused than ever, scratching his head.
" Do not be afraid, humans, " a male mechanical voice answered. " I am here to spare your lives from death from my former colleagues. My name is Skyblade. "
" Former colleagues, you say? " R curiously repeated the word when she raised her eyebrows. Her husband slowly stood up and instantly held his wife's hand. " What are you talking about?! "
" I am a former Decepticon as I have been in hiding on your planet for more than two centuries, " Skyblade explained. " It's a very long story to tell. "
" If you were one them before, how can we trust you? " Steve doubtfully asked.
" I am on a mission to protect the bearer of the Control Stone. The Kree Eternal had told me a decade ago and asked me to keep an eye on the man from your enemies. "
Steve and R looked puzzled upon hearing the Living Machine's statement and shared glances. They were trying to comprehend and respond to him. Suddenly, they heard another series of explosions around Birnin Zana. Skyblade scanned from a distance using his sensors and calculated in his mind in how to defeat his former friends. Then, he turned to the couple.
" This time, the Decepticons are waging war against your kind. We must do our best to fight them, " he seriously spoke.
