Truths revealed, Daughter of prime vs Decepticon lord Part 2

Meanwhile, Megatron was flying through the sky looking for Emily to try and convince her to join the Decepticon side but the only problem was locating her.

"Where could she possibly be?" Megatron asked himself before he flew down towards a mountain and transformed into his robot form and landed with a thud.

"She could be anywhere." He observed his surroundings since if he were a human, he could be anywhere as the forest obscured his vision on the ground below.

He then turns on his comm-link to get some kind of coordinates on the human girl he's looking for.

"Starscream." Megatron said.

Back at the Nemesis, Starscream almost jumped out of his pedestal when the comm-link came to life as Megatron called through the comm-link.

"Yes, Lord Megatron, how may I serve-" He started only to be cut off by Megatron.

"Has Soundwave found the girl yet?" He asked as Starscream turned to the silent mech who has been trying for the past few minutes.

"Huh,... well,... not yet master. We've been tracing all phone signals, cameras, social media and everything. There's no sign of her." Starscream informed him and he could hear the growl from the other end.

Back at the canyon, Megatron growled but he had to calm down so he could find her. If they can't find Emily using any means through technology then a Cybertronian energon tracking system might give him an idea on where she is.

"It's time to expand our search. Look for any Energon signatures close to my position." Megatron said.

Back at the Nemesis, some vehicons, Starscream and Soundwave were confused on what Megatron just said. Did he just say to find an Energon signature? But the human girl is just a human right...?

"Energon signatures?" The seeker asked in confusion.

"You heard what I've said, Starscream. Now do it." Megatron growled and he nodded quickly.

"Very well, master. Soundwave?" Starscream said before turning to the silent mech who did as told but the question remains. Why use energon signature?

Soundwave starts looking for any Energon signatures near Megatron's position and luckily he found something not too far from where their lord is and Starscream told him where it is.

"Good news, my liege, Soundwave has found an Energon signature near your position. I'll send out a squadron to help you." Starscream said but Megatron stopped him.

"No." Megatron said.

Back at the canyon, Megatron was pleased to at least know that the girl wasn't too far.

"Send me the coordinates. I will deal with this myself." He said before turning his comm-link off as he transformed in his alt mode and took flight on the coordinates that Soundwave sent him.

Meanwhile back at the Autobots base, Optimus and Ratchet were very troubled as they were waiting for news from the others who haven't reported back yet via commlink and it was worrisome.

"Still no sign of the others. We must find her." Ratchet said as he wanted to head out to join the search but Optimus stopped him with a patient and calm look but Ratchet could tell that the Autobot leader wanted to join the search as well.

"Patience, Ratchet." Optimus told him and made Ratchet sighed as he looked at his friend.

"Optimus, with all due respect. Right now we don't have the time to be patient. Emily is out there alone and if the Decepticons get her before we do. Who knows what could happen?" Ratchet said as he was worried about what will happen if the cons find Emily before the others do.

"Worrying won't help us now, old friend." Optimus told him grimly as he was also worried that the cons might capture Emily and use her power for evil.

"You're right. It's just that I now realize that the moment we created this lie, we started losing her." Ratchet said as he hung his head in guilt as Optimus looked at him with sympathy.

"We must not lose hope, Ratchet. Emily needs us now more than ever." Optimus told him.

He remembered the way Emily looked at them. The pain, hurt, sadness, upset and loneliness. They were all in her eyes and she seemed to be crying out for comfort from the way she looked at them. He clenched his servo lightly. He would do anything to make sure that Emily will be happy and to see her smile again.

"Then let's find her. I might be able to trace her Energon signature. I'll call the others in case the signature is close to their position." Ratchet said. He wants to fix things between them and Emily and they will have to do it now.

Ratchet then starts using his comm-link to try and contact the others.

Meanwhile the Autobots were still driving on the highway to go to the river that Miko mentioned earlier.

"How far is that river?" Arcee asked as they were still a long way to the place.

"It shouldn't be too far." Miko said before they heard Ratchet calling them through their com-links.

"Arcee, have you found anything?" Ratchet asked as Arcee didn't stop driving as she answered.

"Not yet. We're on our way to a possible location to take a look." Arcee said.

Back at the base, Optimus was with Ratchet as he was typing away at the keypads of the computer.

"Stand by, I'll check for any Energon signature near your position." Ratchet said as he started to use the computer to try and detect Emily's Energon signature since he tried to locate her using her cellphone but not luck.

After a few seconds, he was able to successfully locate Emily's position and it made both the medic and prime relieved.

"I found her. She's near your position." Ratchet told them in relief before the sensors went off and the computer showed that it was detecting a Decepticon signal that was nearby and it was heading straight to where Emily is and it was not a good sign.

"Oh no..." Ratchet muttered as Optimus became worried.

"What is it, Ratchet?" Arcee asked through the commlink.

Back at the highway, the others heard Ratchet muttering and they sensed that it was a bad thing.

"You have to drive faster. The computers detected a Decepticon signal and it's getting close to where Emily is." Ratchet told them and this sent red flags through their minds.

"Decepticons? If we don't get there faster, things will get ugly." Bulkhead said. If the Decepticons were heading to where Emily is, it's trouble.

"The map on my laptop indicates that the road to the river is not too far. Just a few miles up ahead." Raf said as he told them through the radio and computer. They just need to hurry before the cons get there first.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Smokescreen said. He didn't want something to happen to Emily at the hands of the cons.

"Hold on. We should stop here." Arcee said as she began to slow down as the others became confused.

"What for?" Jack asked in confusion.

"If there's gonna be cons there, it's best if you kids aren't there." Arcee told him before using the comm-link to call the base.

"Ratchet, open the ground bridge." Arcee said and the three kids couldn't believe what Arcee was trying to do.

They're going to find Emily together and they are not going to stay back at the base and let the others go there without them.

"What? No." Jack argued.

"Jack, don't argue with this. The cons are dangerous and I will not risk your life and the lives of others." Arcee told him but Jack won't let her.

"I'm not going anywhere, Arcee, and you know it." Jack said as he didn't want to stay back at the base.

"Jack..." Arcee started to argue.

"She's my friend and I'll never turn my back on someone who needs help." Jack said.

"I get that. But you know she wouldn't want to risk your life." Arcee said and Jack understands that and he would even risk his life just to help.

"I know that. But you know that if me and the others aren't there, apologizing wouldn't mean anything if everyone isn't there." Jack said and Arcee realized that he was right. If the others aren't there, apologizing to Emily will mean nothing. They have to be there. Together.

"Come on, Arcee." Jack said when he realized that Arcee went quiet.

Arcee comes to a decision as she knows that Jack made a point.

"Fine." She said as Jack smiled while she contacted the base.

"Ratchet, forget what I said. We'll protect the kids." Arcee said and he knew that Ratchet was nodding.

"Understood. Be careful." Ratchet said as she would have nodded if she was in robot form.

Both of them stopped using their comm links as Arcee spoke to the others.

"Alright. Let's go. Everyone, full speed. You better hold on tight, Jack." Arcee said as she began to accelerate.

"Don't have to tell me twice." Jack told her as he held on tight to the handle bars.

"Let's do this, guys." Smokescreen said.

The Autobots all started driving faster hoping that they'll get to their friend on time before the cons do.

Meanwhile at the lake, Emily was still crying, remembering her whole life and thinking about how the answer was in front of her. Thinking about how the Autobots never told her about her true origins was making her cry even more as she dug her nails against her arms.

"It's painful right?" Emily tensed up when she heard a familiar voice and realized that Megatron was in the area.

"You fought with them, bonded with them and in the end you learned the hard truth." This just made her blood or energon boil in anger as she gritted her teeth.

"Leave now. I'm not in the mood." She growled at him as she stood up while clenching her fists. She would snap at any moment if he didn't leave now.

"They didn't trust you, they even stabbed you in the back. I know what it feels like."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Emily got up and let out an enrage scream.

Out of pure anger and rage, Emily summoned and used her Sword of Creation to create a powerful wave to repel Megatron back as he dodged it as he was surprised by the enraged look in her eyes and fire in them.

"YOU'RE LYING!!!!!!!!!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH!!!!!!" Emily yelled at him as she started attacking Megatron with her sword but Megatron just dodged all of her attacks.

"OH REALLY???? YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS TO BE BETRAYED??????!!!!!" Megatron told her as he started shooting at her but she just used her sword to repel the shots away from her.

"THAT EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVED IN WAS A LIE??????!!!!!!!! That people rejected you... because you're different." Megatron lowered his voice at the last parts and Emily couldn't believe what he was saying as she relaxed slightly but was still angry and on her guard.

"All this time, I wonder if someone else knew what it felt like and now I know you do. We're both looking to make the world better. Are we not?" Megatron said and Emily turned her gaze at the ground. He was right. She wants to make the world better but that was before until now.

"Yes..." She told him.

"I've seen how the people of this world have suffered at the hands of the corrupted leaders. Most of humanity has risen against them. But if they want to win and make a difference, they need a strong and powerful leader like you. You are strong but with me, you'll be even stronger. If you join me, I can make you powerful. People will never reject you." Megatron told her as she listened. It sounds tempting but she knew what he was trying to do.

"You want me to join the Decepticons?" She asked him and Megatron nodded with what looked like a sincere smile.

"Yes. Together we can change this world." Megatron told her but he was taken back when Emily sent him a glare.

"Destroying and terrorizing humanity is not making a difference. The Autobots might be not trustworthy but I will never join the Decepticons. And for the last time leave me alone." She growled at him and turned her back to him.

"Foolish child." Megatron growled at her silently.

As soon as Emily turned her back to him, Megatron shot at her from behind. Luckily she didn't get hurt too much by the shot as she stumbled forward but regained her balance as she clenched her fists.

"Ahhh...! Okay. Now you're making me mad." Emily turned to him and glared at him heatedly and Megatron smirked at this.

"Am I? Let's see what you can do when you're angry." Megatron taunted as Emily cracked her knuckles.

"With pleasure." She told him before she threw the first punch.

Megatron dodged her attack and as soon as she missed, she got back up and started attacking again. No matter how many times she tried, she couldn't land one hit on him.

"How do you intend to fight me? You're still fighting with your inner self." Megatron said and this just made her more angry.

"Keep talking. You won't be talking like that when I'm done with you!" Emily yelled at him as she threw another punch at him.

"We'll see about that." Megatron said as he stopped one of her punches with his servo and she couldn't believe what just happened as her eyes widened in shock.

"I can see it in your eyes. The anger, the rage, the hate. It gives you strength but your confusion is clouding your mind. You're letting your fear gain the best of you. Oh yes I can see the fear in your eyes. It's the same look you had in your eyes when you had those visions." Megatron told him and her heart dropped at that.

Emily couldn't believe that Megatron knew about the visions she saw earlier as she stared at his red optics with slight fear, panic and anger.

"How do you know?" Emily breathed in shock as he smirked at her.

"It's simple. While you were infected with Dark Energon, I was able to catch a glimpse of what was going inside your mind. Imagine my surprise, the lost Daughter of Alpha Trion. One of the Thirteen Original Primes. Now that I know what you are, it will be a pleasure to destroy you with my bare hands. You're a good warrior, my dear, but I'm better!" Emily couldn't move when Megatron said that but before she could even move, he threw Emily as she landed on the ground hard.

When she was just getting back up on her feet with slight strain, Megatron fired his cannon at the ground creating a huge blast that sent Emily flying and hit a huge rock in the process that knocked the breath out of her.

Meanwhile the Autobots were almost at the road that leads to the river as Miko pointed to it.

"Look there's the road up ahead." Miko said just as Bulkhead heard a faint explosion.

"You hear that, guys?" Bulkhead asked as they heard it too and started to get worried.

"I heard." Arcee said as she was getting extremely worried.

Everyone takes the road to the river as quickly as they could to reach their friend on time.

Meanwhile back at the river, Emily was struggling to get up as she gritted her teeth as her body was complaining about her movements. Despite the pain she wouldn't give up that easily as she shut one of her eyes from the pain.

"Come on... get up, Emily,... get up..." She grunted in pain as her body was sore from both earlier and the current fight and Megatron can see it.

"I must say. I'm disappointed. So far your skills have impressed me. Today I'd hoped you would make the right choice and accept my offer but you didn't." Megatron smirked at how she was struggling to get up.

Emily was able to get back up on her but was having a hard time standing up as she held her side as Megatron walked toward her as she panted heavily.

"I find it hard to believe that a human girl like you, so brave, would choose misery. To think that I opened myself to you. And how did you thank me? By spitting at my face!" Megatron growled at her but Emily glared at him before throwing a punch towards him but he avoided it and hit her which sent her flying back as he approached her again when she tried to get up.

He then kicked her which made her grunt from the pain. When she jumped to attack him with a kick, he gave her an uppercut. After that hit, she landed hard on the ground as Megatron didn't waste any time attacking her again. When she's up on her feet again, he punches her but Emily stops one of his punches and uses that advantage to run across Megatron's arm and tries to hit him in the face but Megatron stops her by grabbing her arm and throwing her to the ground. When she got up again, she quickly used her plasma cannons and started shooting at him to make Megatron back off which worked as she kept firing as she stood back up.

Meanwhile the Autobots were getting closer to the river as they were hearing what sounded like laser guns being shot.

"We're almost there!" Miko said as she leaned out the window of Bulkhead's vehicle mode.

"Let's hurry, guys! I don't wanna miss the action." Smokescreen said as he knew that if there's a fight, there's gotta be cons and he didn't wanna miss the action.

"Easy, kids. We're here to help a friend, not go into some crazy battle." Bulkhead reminds them as Bumblebee whirred in agreement.

"Guys, you hear that?" Cliffjumper said as they all heard what sounded like shooting not far from where they were.

"I hear it." Bulkhead said as they all stopped.

"Sounds like trouble." Bulkhead said as he opened his door so Miko could get out.

"Time for you to get out, Miko." Bulkhead said as Bumblebee whirred to Raf to get out while opening the door as Jack got off Arcee.

"Any idea of what it is?" Jack asked as Arcee transformed.

"Yeah. And I hope I'm wrong." Arcee said as Jack could see the worry and concern but fear in her optics as the others transformed.

"Let's go check it out." Cliffjumper said as they quickly ran to the place where the shooting was coming from, hoping that they weren't too late.

Meanwhile, Emily was still using her plasma cannons to shoot at Megatron and for a moment he was backing off but then he started running toward her despite the shootings and it caused her to step back slightly. When he gets close to her, he punches her twice as Emily could barely stand up or move a muscle as she was on the verge of collapsing. Despite that, she started running toward him and trying to land a kick at his chassis but Megatron kicked her back before she could land a hit.

Emily got sent flying back only to hit a stone wall of a cliff as she fell forward as her body was losing all of the strength that she recovered but it was fading quickly. She was done for and it looked like she was totally out of it as Megatron was approaching toward her slowly as she struggled to lift herself up on her arms.

"Like I said. You have great skills, but you're not a match for a warrior of my caliber." Megatron said as he stood above her.

Emily was in deep struggle due to the pain she was enduring as she glared at him weakly.

Meanwhile the Autobots were getting very close to the area as Miko was up ahead.

"It's right there!" Miko called to the others as she pointed to the river up ahead.

When she got there to see what was happening, she could not believe what she was seeing as she covered her mouth in shock.

"Oh no..." Miko said in shock as the place looked like a battlefield as Jack and Raf caught up to her and stood by her but were confused as her eyes were wide.

"What is it, Miko?" Jack asked in concern as Miko just pointed to something in front of them.

Both Jack and Raf saw what Miko was pointing at and they couldn't believe their eyes as Raf felt tears coming to his eyes at the sight. They were too late to get there on time.

"Oh no." Jack said in shock and fear as Raf was in so much shock.

The Autobots get there just in time to see Megatron about to shoot at their friend who was barely standing.

"NO!!!!!!" Arcee screamed as dread and fear gripped her spark at the sight of Megatron about to kill Emily.

Megatron heard Arcee scream as he then realized that the Autobots had arrived as Emily looked at them weakly and her eyes widened slightly. What were they doing here?!

"Well, well, look who's here? You're just in time to watch your friend perish. If I were you, I would stay where I am. We don't want your human friends to get hurt don't we?" Megatron said but this made more anger rise in Emily as she used that anger to fuel more of her strength as she got on one knee as she glared at him.

"Don't you dare touch them." Emily growled at him as she activated one of her plasma cannons.

When she was about to shoot at him, Megatron grabs her plasma cannon with a lot of strength. She could feel how he was grabbing it. It was painful as she bit her lip to stop a cry of pain from escaping.

"You have reached the end of the road. I could shoot you right now and that way your death would be quick and painless. But since you dared to defy me, I'm gonna kill you quickly and in a painful way and I'm gonna enjoy tearing you to shreds while your friends watch you die at my hands." Megatron said as she glared at him heatedly as all of her anger was directed at him as she won't let that happen as her plasma cannon continued to charge up.

"When I'm done with you." Megatron started as he switched his blade to show what he was going to do.

"I'll kill all of your Autobot friends. Without any mercy." Megatron said as he raised his sword.

When he swings it down at her, Emily stops his blade with one hand using all her strength as she grunts at the impact. While she restrained his blade, she started charging her right plasma cannon for a fully charged shot. When the cannon shot the fully charged plasma shot, it exploded right inside Megatron's hand causing him a huge amount of pain as he pulled away.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" Megatron yelled from pain as he doubled back from it.

With her right hand free, she started to use both her hands to grab him and pushed Megatron against the stone wall. She then used her right cannon to shoot at the top of the cliff above them to make rubble fall on to Megatron.

"Look out!" Arcee yelled as she saw one of the boulders falling down at Emily.

Emily then let go of Megatron's blade and got out of the way as Megatron was hit pretty hard by the falling rubbles but he could still fight as he was still on his pede as he glared at her as she glared back.

"Do you really think that a mere human like you can defeat me?" Megatron growled at her as she panted heavily but got back up and ignored the protest her body was telling her and the pain with it.

"It's just like you said earlier. By choosing to be brave, I'd chosen misery. If being brave means living in misery then so be it. As long as I live, you will never harm any of my friends. Today it all ends, Megatron. Once and for all." Emily glared at him with determination as the Autobots were speechless by this. Emily would really risk her life to protect them no matter what.

"You don't know what will be the end game of this battle, don't you?" Megatron told her as she knew what he meant as she stood up with more confidence and determination.

"Yes... one shall stand, one shall fall. Time to see who will win. The Daughter of a Prime or the Dark Lord." Emily said as she then charged towards him.

He throws a punch at her but she avoids it as she starts attacking him with all her strength without retaining herself as she lands one hit again and again as her attacks were fueled with her anger towards him.

"She can't handle Megatron on her own." Bulkhead said as he continued to watch the battle in front of him.

"Then let's go help her." Smokescreen said as he was about to join in but Arcee sent him a look.

"No. Our priority is to protect the kids." Arcee told him as Bulkhead was about to protest.

"But-" Bulkhead started but Arcee cut him off as she didn't tear her gaze from the fight.

"That's an order, Bulkhead." Arcee said as both the wrecker and rookie complied and resumed to watch the battle.

While the Autobots hanged back Emily was still fighting against Megatron as the Dark Lord couldn't do anything about it.

He then used his blade to stop her but Emily took out her Sword of Creation. Then both started fighting in a sword combat and gave it all they got. Their strength pushed them far away from one another before both charged towards the other and prepared themselves to strike again.

Both hit each other and after their strike, one of them was hit as Megatron realized that he got hit on his side and he was leaking Energon before he fell down on one knee while covering his wound while panting heavily as Emily was catching her breath as she panted heavily.

"She did it." Jack said as they couldn't believe what they saw as the only one that could at least hit that kind of hit on Megatron was Optimus and it looks like Emily was the same.

"Unbelievable." Raf said in shock.

She panted heavily as she then saw that Megatron was hurt and used that as her chance as she started to run towards him.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Emily yelled out in anger as she started to beat him up without stopping.

She punched him on his chest and then on the face. She wouldn't stop and when she was about to kill him, Arcee told her to stop as she didn't want Emily to blame herself if she killed Megatron.

"Emily, no!" Arcee yelled as she snapped out of her rage as she stopped and didn't turn towards the other.

"Don't do this. You know you're better than this." Arcee said as Emily glanced at them and knew that Arcee was right.

Emily did not move as she looked Megatron in the optics and came to the decision of not killing him.

Just like that, her strength and adrenaline wore off and she stumbled back with a groan and fell down on her back. The last thing she saw and heard while a pair of gentle servos pick her up and her name being called out in worry while the sound of a ground bridge opened up as the blurry figure of Optimus came from above her as he was looking down at her with worried optics before her world black out and she fainted from exhaustion and pain.
