Karina Torres: TFP

Out of His Mind

(Autobots base) Third Persons POV

"We are sorry we could not bring Karina back Raf, but we'll get her back next time" Arcee tells him. Bee beeps in agreement. Ratchet helps Optimus get to his feet. Everyone is glad that Optimus is ok, but Raf is sad that he doesn't have him cousin back. But at least she's alive and unharmed from what Bee and Arcee had told them.

(A couple days later on the Nemesis) Karina's POV

Soundwave has been my guard the last couple of days. Since Bee and Arcee infiltrated the base. Apparently Megatron now has zero brain wave activity. But today I was given back to Knockout. Who had food and water for me. I sat on his shoulder enjoying the food and water. Making sure not to spill anything.

We walked through the computer lab to hear Starscream making a speech to himself and the brain waveless Megatron. Knockout signals me to be quiet as he leans against the wall. We watch Starscream.

"The Decepticons need a leader, not a decorative centerpiece. And I will convince them that I am the true heir to your throne with a plan so epic..." he says.

"Not even the mighty Megatron could have conceived it?" Knockout asks. Alerting Starscream to our presence. Starscream chuckles nervously as he turns to face us. As Knockout smirks. I ate my chips wishing they were popcorn.

"That was the idea, Knockout. See you finally got our guest back from Soundwave. How long have you both been there?" Starscream asks. I shrug.

"Long enough" Knockout tells him and he places me on the table. "And it's 'Commander Knockout' to you, once and future lord Starscream" he states.

"Still no brainwaves from Megatron?" I ask as I look at the screen. They ignore me and start to talk about the Arctic. Something about melting a glacier. "But that'll wipe out many coastal cities, killing hundreds. If not thousands of people" I tell them.

"We don't care" Starscream tells me. "Are we there yet?" he asks Knockout. Who nods his head. "Lets go outside then" he says smirking. Knockout grabs me and follows him to the top deck. As soon as we get outside I start to shiver, it's freezing and I don't have coat. "Let the reign of Lord Starscream begin" he says.

Knockout gives a hand signal and a con starts to melt the glacier. At least heat is admitting from it, warming me up slightly. But I could still get frostbite. "I'm going to get the human inside, she does not seem to be coping with the cold" he states. Starscream nods his head and Knockout takes me back to the lab. He places me on the table. "Remain here and touch nothing, I shall return once we've harvested the energon" he tells me before leaving.

I groan in  annoyance as he shuts the door. I sit down cross legged and look at the brain dead Megatron. I start to hum an old song my mother used to sing to me. I hear fighting outside and smile. Must be the Autobots.

Suddenly Bee enters the room. "Bumblebee!" I cheer as I get up. He glares at me and I frown in confusion as he heads over to Megatron. "Bee?" I ask and he ignores me as he makes a physic patch to Megatron.

"Ratchet! Don't hurt Bumblebee!" Raf shouts. I turn to see Ratchet and him.

"That's not Bumblebee!" Ratchet shouts as he throws a punch at Bee.

"Raf!" I shout.

"Karina" he says happily. Ratchet gets knocked out.

"Raf get out of here" I tell him.

"Not without you and Bee" he states stubbornly. Bee faces Megatron holding a piece of dark energon. "Bumblebee no! Remember who you are" Raf tells him.

"Remember Raf! Please remember us Bee!" I cry.

"I know you always listen to me, no matter what" Raf states and Bee buzzes. I watch his eyes change. Like he and Megatron are fighting for control.

"That's it Bee, fight him" I say.

"That's right, Bee. It's us" Raf says with a smile. Megatron and Bee fight again and Bee falls to the ground. Raf rushes to his side, but Megatron shoves him away.

"No! No one hurts my cousin!" I yell feeling power surge through me. I jump onto Bee and grab a hold of his neck cables. "Get out of his head!" I shout as I zap him. He whines in pain.

"Farewell Megatron" Ratchet says disconnecting the life support cable from his chest. Bee growls and tosses him into a wall. Dislodging me from his neck. I scream as I fall hard onto the ground. Raf runs to my side.

"Karina, Bumblebee!" he shouts.

"I'm ok" I groan. Though I'm sure I have bruised ribs.

"Bumblebee, can't hear you anymore" Bee says with Megatron's voice. I look at Raf and nod my head. We get up running towards Bee.

"As much as we want you to leave Bumblebee's body, we can't let you go back to your own!" we shout. We jump onto the physic patch cable. But he shakes us off. I grab Raf and protect him from the fall.

Bee Megatron places the dark energon into Megatron's chest cavity. He steps backs as Megatron wakes up. I get up and push Raf behind me. We back up towards Ratchet as Bee regains control of his own body.

Just then cons appear. "Decepticons. Your rightful lord and master has returned" Megatron states. "Finish these pests, but keep the femme alive" he orders as he heads for the door. "I have my own extermination to perform" he states.

Ratchet grabs Raf as Bee grabs me as the cons start to fire at us. We duck for cover. "Raf, stay close to me" I tell him. He nods his head as he grips my arm.

We somehow get away and off of the ship. We make it to the ground and see the Nemesis leaving. I smile at Raf who is sitting on Bee's other shoulder. He smiles back at me. "Ratchet, we need a bridge" Optimus states.

"You are not the only ones" Ratchet states awe join them.

"Hey guys" I say with a smile waving at them along with Raf. We all return to base and Ratchet gives Bee a scan. "Well, what's the diagnoses Ratchet?" I ask.

"Everything's back to normal" he states and Bee buzzes. "Well normal for Bumblebee" he states. He Raf have a conversation.

"What'd he say?" Miko asks me.

"He said thanks, but I should be thanking him. Along with Ratchet and Raf. Thank you all for bringing me home" I tell them.

"I'm glad your home" Raf says with a smile. Bee buzzes his agreement. He takes Raf and I home. I have a proper cooked meal and get grounded by my aunt. But just for the weekend. She said if I disappeared again, it's be two weeks.
