Empress

  It was all falling into place.

  After the first time of failure of capturing that boy, I decided to create another plan.

  She always took him around town with the other humans.

  She wouldn't be able to expose herself there.  She wouldn't be able to stop me.

  Megatron and I work out the details.

  The date is set.

  Moon

  I take Anti's hand, walking down the street toward's the kid's school.

  My short brown hair, grey T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers made me fit in with the rest of the town.

  I just made myself look older.  About 20 years old.

  I hold Anti's hand as we were about to cross the street.

  I had my earpiece in.

  Ratchet wouldn't let me leave base without it.

  I see two deception twin cars on the other side of the street, patrolling.

  I pick Anti up, staggering.

  I had gotten very weak over the past few days.

  I dash to the other side of the street, hiding in between two buildings.

  I keep his head close to my chest.

I was already exhausted. I barely ran for more than three seconds.

  I put Anti down, wheezing.

  "Moon, are you okay?" Ratchet asks.

  "Just spotted two twin deceptions. Can you bridge us back?"

  "H-..... G..... M........R...N..." His signal cut out.

  "Anti, we have to run to Raf's school." I look out from our hiding spot. It was just around the corner.

  "Mama, look out!" I got slammed to the side, Anti ripped from my arms.

  I kept struggling, but my arms were pinned.

  I look, my vision blurry.

  One of the twins had me while the other had Anti.

  "Mama!  Help me!" He cried, yelping from the con's sharp fingers.

  "Hang on!" I struggle, trying to reach my blades.

  I was already too weak.

  I couldn't breath.

  All went black.

  Empress

  I finally have him in my grasp.  And a bonus, too.

  I get the wretched Alpha.  I get the boy.

  Megatron smiles evilly.

  He was just my kind of mech.

  "I would like to recieve my reward soon." He smiles.

  "Oh, you will. In time.  You have my word."

  I never keep my promises.

  I have conquered whole planets and solar systems.

  Taking over this war ship will be easier than swatting an imaginary fly.

But I had to take out Megatron first.

  Moon

  I wake up in the warship, Anti next to me.

  We were in an empty room.

  His gliders and my wings were out.

  I groan, my head pulsing.

  "Mama?" Anti whispers, shaking me.

  I get up by my hands and knees, using my wing to shield him from whatever was coming.

  I used my other wing to hide my very pregnant belly.

  I hug him again, standing shakily and moving to the corner.

  I could protect them both that way.

  I feel for my dagger belt, and it was gone.

  Someone must have take it from me.

  At least I felt my chain and charm on my neck.

  I put him farthest in the corner as I could, my wings over my belly.

  The large door opens.

  I narrow my eyes and snarl.

  "You."

  Empress

  She was awake, trying to protect the boy.

  I chuckled. Her efforts would be useless.

  "Megatron, keep her away from any weak links. She is very manipulative."  I warn, and he nods.

  I really meant keep all your dim-witted pieces of scrap out of my way.

  I walk down to where she was, and the red mech opens the door.

  She has the nerve to snarl at me.

  "You."

  Moon

"Yes, it is me, your superiour Empress of the Sun." She responds, walking in front of me, Knockout leaning against the door frame, looking amused.

  "You are no superiour to me." I snap back.

  Her amber eyes flash gold.

  My wings are pinned to the wall, my belly exposed.

  Her eyes brighten in the darkest way possible.

  "Oh, look!  A new servant, just for me!" She says, trying to touch my baby.

  "Don't you dare touch either of them!" I snarl, my fangs growing.

  She raises her hand, colliding with the side of my face.

  She grabs my neck, but I grab her wrist.

  I squeeze her arm with all the hatred and fear I have within me, her whole wrist going completely white.

  She screams in alarm, but I refuse to let go.

  I won't let her hurt them.

  "Heathen!" She smacks me again.

  This time, I fall to the ground.

  She grabs Anti's wrist, tugging him from behind me.

  He bites her hand with little fangs, and she lets go, smacking him across the forehead, and he drops to the floor, blood coming from above his eye.

  She knocked him out.

  I feel anger rise in me.

  I stand, then crouching over him.

  "Leave.  Him.  Alone." I wheeze, my legs already shaking.

  She chuckles. "Fine."

  She decks me, being thrown into the back wall.

  She pins me against the metal, constantly punching and choking me.

  When she was satisfied, she stood calmly, stomping on my wing.

  I wince, but I barely feel the pain.

  I just need to protect my children.

  I crawl towards Anti, but she kicks me, my belly upwards.

  She has a blade right where the baby's head should be.

  I try backing away, but I can't move.

  I see Knockout's eyes widen in shock.

  She leans in close. "Try and stop me again.  I dare you."

  She takes the blade away, walking away to the door.

  I spit out blood from my mouth.

  "I will never back down from a coward like you."
I crawl over my son's unconscious body, pulling him to my chest.

  She chuckles.  "Then the next few days of your pregnancy will be so much more fun."

  The baby was due in four days.

  I look at Knockout in a desperate attempt for mercy, but his eyes are still angry.

  He walks out behind the Empress, the door locking shut behind him.

  I still huddle over my son, scooping my wing underneath him.

  I turn on my side, my back facing the door.

  He was facing the wall.

  If anything came back, I would die first to protect him.

  But that means I would also sacrifice the life of my unborn baby.
