My first day of college this semester wasn't all that bad. Figured I could post a chapter before bed. 

WARNING: Mention of sexual abuse in this chapter. Its an important chapter, but if you do not feel comfortable, I will give a summary of the chapter at the end if you want to scroll through.

Hope you enjoy.

Lynlee trembled in fear as Megatron stared down at her. Her body was beginning to shut down, allowing her pain to slowly fade away along with her consciousness. 

Something was hooked to the back of the long metal slab that she had been forced to lay upon. The cold was numbing but at this point, she didn't care. What was the point of living anymore? First, it had been her father's abuse, and then her mother's death. She was captured by the Decepticons and now, finally, she would finally die. 

Megatron was going to kill her. 

A body fizzled into existence beside her, and the girl froze. Megatron was now standing in his holoform, eyes piercing and as intimidating as ever. He stood well over six foot four with silver hair and a large, muscular body. His jaw clenched as he reached forward, placing a helmet of some sort upon her head.

Of course, he was not gentle as he purposely made sure to jerk her head and place pressure on her ribs as he leaned over her. 

"Let's see what in that mind of yours," he snarled, "as it seems you know too much for your own good."

He couldn't let her live- no matter what advantage they would hold above the Autobots. Soundwave would no doubt find out about his secret, and everything would end for the Decepticons. 

Soundwave was not only third in command, but the communications officer for hundreds and hundreds of years. Any piece of secret, hidden information would fall into the hands of the Autobots, including any weaknesses, relic locations, energon mines, and everything Megatron had organized for the new creation of Cybertron. 

That mech could end the war in an instant if he gave himself over to their side.

He couldn't let that happen.

Lynlee felt her body begin to shut down as Megatron laid upon the metal slab beside her, placing a series of cables onto his own head. She could feel her body begin to drift away, as could Megatron.

Within seconds, they were both standing in a large field, vast with wildflowers and grass. Lynlee immediately recognized the place, as it had been one of her favorite places to play when she was younger. Before her father went crazy. 

Before her life turned into hell. 

Her feet stumbled forward in the direction of her home. Confusion laced her mind but her mind trailed off to what Megatron had told Soundwave earlier. That he would sift through her mind. Was this a memory, Lynlee wondered as she finally spotted her front porch.

Everything was quiet as she made her way inside. 

And there he was- the Warlord himself standing before exact spot her mother had passed away. A disgusted look was plastered on his holoform's face as he inspected the corpse of her mother, and Lynlee felt anger boiling up inside of her. 

"What a pathetic creature," he murmured. 

"Don't talk about my mother that way." 

His eyes turned towards her direction, and she shivered as they glow in the darkness. Part of her wondered where her past self hid. Probably still upstairs- completely oblivious to her mother's death. Pain shot through her chest but she forced herself not to cry.

She wouldn't allow herself to cry anymore in front of this monster.

"I would suggest you realize who you talk to girl." He marched forward and Lynlee scrambled backward in an attempt to get away. 

Maybe he can't hurt me. He's in my mind, right?

When his hand shot out, the girl dodged. "Don't touch me!" 

Megatron growled and reached out again, this time not missing his target. Lynlee gasped as he grasped her throat and slammed her against the wall. 

Nope, he can definitely hurt me. This definitely hurts. 

"Let go!" Lynlee screamed and kicked and tried to bite his hand, taking advantage of Megatrons smaller, though still so much larger than her, size. 

"Do not interfere. I will take what I please from your mind."

His closeness as making her hyperventilate. Memories from her nightmares were beginning to come back, and she felt sick re-imagining his body pressed against hers. They were flashing through her mind, moment after moment. 

The world around them began to change and suddenly they were standing alone in a battlefield, surrounded by death and destruction. A scream was heard and Lynlee forced herself to try and turn her head. Her eyes widened as she witnessed Megatron and that smaller female. Optimus struggled to stand. 

"No no no..." Lynlee let out a scream. 

"Let her go! Let her go!" 

Though it had never physically happened to her besides in her dreams, Lynlee couldn't stand to watch again. She had experienced it all, real or not, and the pain was unimaginable.

No person, or bot, deserved to go through that.

"Let me go." Lynlee's voice held a dark undertone as she stared right into his eyes.  

Megatron stared past her towards the scene ahead. How this little femme managed to know all of this did not matter to him. Getting rid of her was the task at hand. 

"The beginning of the end, was it not?" Megatron carefully watched his past self, a cruel smile on his lips as the femme screamed in pain. Lynlee felt sick, knowing that Megatron held no remorse. He smiled upon the memory, and even seemed excited as he squeezed Lynlee's throat harder.

"The weak are meant to be taken advantage of, are they not?" Her body was tossed, and she landed hard on the ground. His shadow fell across her body and her eyes widened as he climbed on top of her.

This isn't happening. This can't be happening.

"No! NO STOP!"  

Megatron snarled as she fought with all of her might, only getting one hit in. It was a hard kick to the groin, though it did little to stop the warlord and his evil task. 

"I suggest you stop struggling. Even a creature as pathetic as you deserve one good memory before their offlining." He slammed her head into the ground, and stars danced before her eyes.

Lynlee closed her eyes, but her eyes remained dry.

She was not breaking her promise to herself. She was not going to break.

A few moments passed before something hared slammed into the body on top of her. A short grunt sounded from Megatron and the warlord was still on the ground before Lynlee felt two arms wrap around her.

Her body flinched out of instinct, but the fear washed away when she saw Soundewaves holoform standing behind her. 

Before she could say anything, her body jerked and she was sitting up, gasping for breath as a large hand pulled her up from the table. 

Soundwave already had a groundbridge open, and he placed the girl down gently right in front of it. Megatron's still body began to shift on the slab.

"S-soundwave?" 

His visor lifted, and Lynlee gasped at the coldness and anger in his eyes as he stared down at her.

All he could see were her injuries. 

Megatron shifted more, and Lynlee watched in fear as the communications officer raced to the slab she had previously been on. 

"Lynlee-" Her eyes widened as Soundwave continued, using his real voice-

"Run."

Adrenaline rushing through her, all the pain was forgotten as the girl turned and ran into the groundbridge, leaving Soundwave alone.

Just as Megatron's eyes opened, the once silent mech placed the second headset upon his helm and sent them both back into the depths of their minds. 

*   *   *   * 

So in this chapter, Megatron takes Lynlee into their minds as it is once shown on the Transformers Prime tv series- in the episode where bumblebee is in Megatrons mind and he ends up being trapped in Bumblebee's head.

Megatron hurts Lynlee, takes her to the place where Megatron hurt Soundwaves mom and father, and then attempts to rape Lynlee. 

Soundwave appears, saving Lynlee, sends her through a groundbridge, and then puts himself back in Megatrons mind- since Megatron has the same memory as he was there the day Soundwaves sire was offlined (of course, sinc he's the one that killed him), Soundwave will end up in the same memory Megatron and Lynlee were just in.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: 

I know that in the show they couldn't actually hurt eachother when they went into their minds. But for the book I made it to where Megatron could actually hurt Lynlee, and vice versa when Soundwave is placed in Megatrons mind *wink wink*

So yeah...
