The Metal Forest Part 3

"You didn't have to kill him, he was already incapacitated." I said, not liking Airachnid's excessive violence.

"That Decepticon was probably transmitting what he saw to the Nemesis ship, we must get out of here as quickly as possible before the air fleet arrives here shooting at our heads." Airachnid knelt with one knee on the floor to be at Lux's height. "You want to stay out of trouble, but if your identity is leaked, just imagine what will happen to you. I'm doing you a big favor."

A very loud sound began to emerge from the sky, which was very characteristic of a fighter jet, which made Airachnid and me instinctively look up to the sky.

Airachnid's eyes, which were narrowed looking for whoever was approaching, widened in shock and dread, upon seeing the being that could easily make her tremble in fear just by mentioning his name.

Megatron transformed into his humanoid mode, falling into the sky with an intimidating pose, along with other Decepticons who posed behind him. However, the siege was not over, as the first wave of Decepticons who flew to investigate the region landed behind Airachnid and Lux, trapping them without any chance of escape.

"Well... I give a 10 for the landing, 1 for the lack of soundtrack on your part. I recommend using songs from musical groups, try using rock and roll to match your visual style." I say, trying to ease the completely heavy tension in the situation, but it seems that it only made the situation worse.

"Shut up." Airachnid whispered, surprised to see the leader of the Decepticons, as she believed he was dead because of the rumors.

"I'm just trying to help, look at his appearance, he looks like a gladiator who fought the devil himself and made him his bitch." I whispered back, staying as close to her as possible, as logically she was the only one who could get me out of that place.

"What we have here is a known Decepticon and the human who caused a lot of trouble on my ship." Megatron said, observing the duo, especially Airachnid, who had a completely different body than her normal one. "I see you have received an upgrade to your Airachnid body, I can even imagine how that would be possible."

"Well, a lady should always take care of her charm." Airachnid said, hoping to avoid a confrontation, but she knew it wouldn't be easy to get out of the situation after killing a few Decepticons. She knew that the fact that Megatron came to her and Lux in person symbolized that their lives were destined for whatever the Decepticon leader decided.

"I assume this human has something to do with your new look." Megatron noticed Airachnid step in front of the human and began to suspect he was even more useful than he appeared. "I'm in no mood for nonsense, I want to make up for lost time, and I know full well that this forest could not have just appeared out of thin air."

The Decepticons trained their weapons on the pair, their Energon cannons ready to fire at full power.

"Human, where is my Singular Energon?" Megatron commanded, his voice dark.

"Singular Energon? What the hell is that?" I asked, now confused by his request.

"Don't play dumb, your vehicle has been adapted to compose Energon as fuel and now you find yourself in a cyberformed forest, the coincidences surrounding you are too great to go unnoticed, now I will ask one last time, where is the Singular Energon, where is the Blood of Primus!" Megatron shouted, casting a menacing aura around the human and the arachnid killer.

I couldn't help but be surprised by this robot's accusation, but after a few seconds, I finally realized what he wanted. He believed that my power, or the trace of my Energon, came from Primus. He believed I had access to a fragment of Primus' power, like a simple reserve of Energon hidden somewhere in the forest.

"Lord Megatron, this human is not worth your attention, isn't this forest what you seek? This place is rich with Energon." Airachnid tried to cover up the situation, not wanting Megatron to kill the Allspark out of ignorance and stupidity. "Perhaps what you seek is here!"

"Wait... what's his name?" I asked Airachnid worriedly, which made me feel uncomfortable. It couldn't be that treacherous Prime, could it? He should have been banished from this dimension for trying to use the power of the Allspark billions of years ago. A copycat, perhaps? But it would be an imitation in very bad taste.

"Hmmm... don't you know me? I thought you were smarter." Megatron pointed his trusty gun at Lux, tired of wasting time, so he decided to use pressure to get the human to confess. "I am Megatron, leader of the Decepticons and rightful ruler of Cybertron."

"WAIT! STOP, STOP, STOP!" I used my hands to make a time signal. "Is your name Megatron? Do you happen to have any kind of correlation to Megatronus Prime?" I asked, wanting to be sure if the Cybertronian had any relation to the Prime from the past or not, as their appearance had slight similarities, but I couldn't conclude anything yet. But now that I saw this robot in front of me, there was something familiar about it that shouldn't be here.

Megatron frowned and lowered his Energon cannon, watching Lux's face carefully. "You know about the first Decepticon, you are an interesting human after all. Decepticons, get the human!" Megatron commanded as his Decepticons prepared to fire their weapons at Airachnid.

"Ooowwwwwww you don't have to do that!" I cried, but my plea was obviously useless.

Airachnid, seeing that she was about to be executed, quickly came up with a bold idea, something that might give her a chance to fight and escape the situation she was in.

"MEGATRON! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!" Airachnid announced, surprising the Decepticons, especially Megatron, who frowned suspiciously.

I looked at Airachnid in surprise and disbelief at her words, it was literally crazy, this Megatron guy was almost twice her size, how could she even stand a chance against that kind of Cybertronian?

"You dare to defy me?" Megatron took a step forward, causing Airachnid to instinctively retreat.

"I don't intend to die without fighting for my life. If I kill you, I could be the next leader of the Decepticons." Airachnid took three steps forward, filling herself with the courage to do the unthinkable, extending her arachnid paws like blades toward the Decepticon leader.

"In Kaon's arena, my skills were forged from the blood and carcasses of my opponents. I am the leader of the Decepticons by strength and merit, something a mere spider like you cannot match." Megatron drew his sword from his right arm, ready to begin a public execution in front of everyone.
