Chapter 4

Plan the Unexpected

Cassidy had tried to sleep that night but every moment she'd have a chance to sleep Arachnid would invade her peaceful mind. She'd look around for the purple optics to find nothing. Even Megatron's red optics weren't glowing. He was sleeping soundly…or whatever they did she didn't fully understand. She finally got to the point to sleep once again and by the time she did she heard a noise and she quickly jumped up. Still nothing was there.

"Did you sleep at all last night human?" Megatron growled under his breath.

Cassidy didn't say a word, she was too scared to. Megatron did save her, but that didn't mean that he truly cared for her. She was just part of the plan. When she were allowed to go to Earth she would have to act like he was a menacing alien…which part of that was true. But he did have a softer side which she had seen from time to time, but not often. The first time was when h, he saved her. And he's always made sure she was safe.

For example, right now he'd make sure she was in his sight so that Arachnid wouldn't kill her and take her head. She was an insane one. Considering everyone on the team she enjoyed collecting heads and even if Cassidy proved to be worth something she'd still want her head. "Answer me human."

"Cassidy." Cassidy whispered.

"What was that?" he asked.

"My name is Cassidy, so if you plan on addressing me, please use my name. I'm not just any ordinary human being I am your number one plan to take down the Autobots." Cassidy piped up. Though she did not know if that was wise of her or not.

Megatron was silent for a moment and then replied, "You are either the most idiotic human I have ever met or a mere intelligent one…Okay Cassidy…did you sleep well last night or did you not sleep at all?"

Cassidy looked down and slowly replied, "Honestly I couldn't sleep much last night. Arachnid kept flooding my mind and every time I was near sleep I'd hear something and I'd jump wide awake and try to go back to sleep."

Megatron growled. "Whether or not you are rested you are required to pull your weight in the plan today."

"It's today?"

"The Autobots know you're in my grasp it's time to bring you to the battle field." Megatron replied.

Cassidy groaned. She wished that she truly did get sleep last night but her stupid fear of spiders prevented that. Megatron got up and grabbed Cassidy. With his fingers grasped around her tiny frame and the gate of his stride it slowly lulled her to sleep to where she was able to forget everything. She was with Megatron and nothing could hurt her while she was there.

Megatron entered the command center where all the Decepticons were at. "Any news of Arachnid?"

"None sir." Knock Out replied. And then focused on the sleeping Cassidy in Megatron's hand.

"Uh…sir…is she coming with us in that state?" he asked.

Megatron looked down at Cassidy who was fast asleep in his hand. He growled and was about to wake her up but instead allowed her to sleep a little longer. "She didn't sleep much last night and if I were to wake her now then her performance may not be great."

"But sir…isn't it true that if you wake a human female that all hell breaks loose?" asked Breakdown. "I mean I've seen the human female that Bulkhead carries around and, not saying I'm scared, but she doesn't seem like a human to mess with…either on a good or bad day."

Megatron looked at Breakdown who slowly started stepping back. "If she was like that Breakdown she would have already been yelling and carrying on because she couldn't sleep last night."

Breakdown shook his shoulders in like a 'just saying' gesture. Megatron looked down at the sleeping Cassidy in his hand and couldn't help but chuckle. When his men heard this their jaws all dropped. Even Soundwave didn't do anything. His arms were dropped to his sides. The guy couldn't even speak…no pun intended.

When Megatron looked up and saw all the Decepticons looking at him. He growled and bared his teeth. "Who are you staring at?" he growled.

All the Decepticons started to rush out of their leader's look. It was not good if you were in his sights and he was not in a good mood or if they had caught him chuckling at something humanly cute. When the area was cleared he looked down at the human female in his hand and gently stroked her head like a human wood with a cat or dog.

Arachnid wondered around in the Decepticon ship looking through vents to see what was going on. She had seen the human female in Megatron's room the night before and every time she'd made a notion to grab the fleshling she'd always become wide awake and if she were to come down when she was awake she were to truly be killed by Megatron himself.

She came into the command center where Megatron stood holding the tired human female. Growling under her breath she did not know what to do. The entire Decepticon race was looking for her. She had been rogue for many years, what made them think that she would return to the roots of a true Decepticon and stay there? They were crazy.

She suddenly heard something behind her. She turned around to see Laserbeak returning to Soundwave. Growling she had to get that mechanical bird and stop him. She went running after him, but she was too slow. The next thing she heard was Megatron yelling. Laserbeak came back once again and this time started shooting lasers at her. Growling and trying to dodge the shots in such a small place. Her dodging was in vain though, she soon fell to the floor in the middle of a circle of Decepticons.

Cassidy was awake, still in Megatron's grasp as they both looked down at her. "Going somewhere?" Megatron asked.

"Nowhere actually. I was just making myself comfortable." She retorted.

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear from you." He growled.

Arachnid saw her chance and jumped in the air shooting her webbing on the Decepticon troops including Megatron himself. His grasp loosened on Cassidy and she started to fall. Arachnid easily caught her and smirked, "Thanks for the gift Lord Megatron, you are too kind." Cassidy started screaming once she realized where she was at.

Megatron growled and easily ripped off the webbing and saw Arachnid run down the hallway. "Drop her now Arachnid!"

"I'm sorry Megatron, but you gave her to me, so that means she's mine and I can do what I wish with her." She snarled.

Megatron started shooting his cannon at her and Cassidy. He was aiming at Arachnid and prayed he didn't hit the human as well. If it was the only way to save her he was willing to risk it. Cassidy cringed every time she heard a loud thundering boom go off near where they were. She knew Megatron was trying to get her back, but this was practically suicide! Arachnid reached the ground bridge and set coordinates. She looked behind her to see Megatron running towards her and now the rest of the Decepticon forces was behind him.

Gritting her teeth she jumped forth. "Soundwave! Keep the ground bridge open!" Yelled Megatron.

Soundwave easily took control of the ground bridge and kept it open as the Decepticon army jumped through. When they did they arrived in the middle of the wood. Everything was quiet…the earth animals were not making any sounds which was not a good first sign. "Keep your optics peeled, she's here."

At that exact moment the Autobots came through with their weapons ready. Megatron growled, "Right now is not the time!"

Bulkhead looked at Arcee and asked, "Did he just say, what I thought he said?"

Arcee shook her head and they quickly went into battle. The Decepticons attacked the Autobots with full force and as for Megatron and Optimus they fought but Megatron was trying more to finding Arachnid with Cassidy. "What is with you Megatron?" Optimus asked as he fired his cannon at the Decepticon leader.

Megatron growled and ducked, "None of your business Prime."

He swung a punch at the Autobot leader who went falling down and sliding on the earth's surface taking much of the vegetation with him. Optimus shook his head and looked up to see Megatron coming down on him with a sword. He quickly moved out of the way and pulled out his own sword and defended the attack. "Why don't you but out of business that don't pertain to you, Prime!" Megatron roared.

"As long as you live, Megatron, everything you do is my business for the protection of this planet." Optimus replied shoving Megatron off. Megatron growled and looked up and happened to see Arachnid above about to do harm to Cassidy. Growling he looked at Optimus who was running towards him and then at Arachnid who hadn't seen him yet. He aimed his cannon in the air and fired upon the unsuspecting spider.

Arachnid was close to the moment she had been waiting for until she heard a huge BOOM and started falling. The human female was able to scurry away from the disaster. When Arachnid fell to the ground she was between the two mechs. Optimus looked at Megatron and then Arachnid, until a scream broke out into the air.

Optimus turned to see Cassidy in a tree looking down at everyone. He then started running towards the human, this was not the place for someone like her to be! Megatron saw where this was going and transformed into his jet mode and flew faster than Optimus could run and picked up Cassidy with his wing. He transformed and held her within his grasp.

"You're too slow Prime! She's in my possession once again!" Megatron laughed.

"I don't think so!" yelled a deep baritone voice.

He turned around to see Bulkhead coming down on him knocking the human out of his hand and spiraling to the ground. She screamed the entire time as she fell, at least until Optimus caught her in his hand and looked to the other Autobots. "Autobots! Back to base! We have the human female!"

Megatron finally was able to recollect what had happened and saw Optimus holding Cassidy. Growling he went to get her back but they had already opened the ground bridge and by the time he got to them they were gone. Cassidy, the human he had saved was now in the hands of the Autobots. Clenching his teeth he roared out into the sky.

When the Autobots arrived at their base Optimus gently sat Cassidy down on the ground. "Are you alright?"

The Autobots' humans came running up and exclaimed, "You saved her from the Decepticons!"

Miko ran up to the frightened girl and hugged her. "Are you alright!? I mean those Decepticons are menacing! They have nearly killed us before in a cave in! I cannot imagine what it must have been like for you."

Cassidy stayed quiet. They had gotten the Decepticons all wrong. They were all kind, at least they were kind to her, and that was really all that mattered to her. Megatron was actually a big softie under that hard exterior and as for Starscream, he was just misunderstood.

The Decepticons arrived back to base and Megatron was yelling at everyone. Starscream was silent…he didn't know how to react. The Autobots had caught them off guard. Arachnid had set them up, even if she hadn't planned it. Now she was on Earth once more, but no one knew where. All that he knew was that they would have to get Cassidy back, already having her gone made the place feel less…homey.
