"Jack! Amal!"
The bodies didn't move. "What happened to their tubes?" Miko asked out loud as she squinted to see what they looked like.
All around the two humans bodies was glasses, blood and Energon. Just a few feet away were the two tubes that originally held them, except they looked to have been smashed into each other, which would explain how the two ended up outside of them.
"Are they...dead?" Raf asked slowly and Miko shook her head. "I don't know...I can't tell." She said truthfully and hit the glass of her tube. "Jack! Amalgamous! Wake up!..." tears came to rim of her eye.
"Please..."
Jack shot up with a long gasp and both Miko and Raf jumped in shock. "JACK!" Both of them exclaimed as the boy went into a coughing fit while clutching his stomach.
"Ah fuck...my ass hurts."
Raf smiled along with Miko. "This might sound rude but how the hell are you alive?" Miko asked as the boy stumbled to his feet. He leaned on a wall near him to help gain his balance so he could walk properly.
"I have no fucking clue, dude." Jack said as he gazed around, realizing quickly where they were. "Cybertron's air is toxic, how are you let alone breathing?" Raf asked as Jack caught sight of Amal's body near him.
"Amal." He breathed out and stumbled to her. The black haired boy fell to his knees next to her, hesitantly touching her body. "Amal." He said gently while shaking her body. No movement.
"Amalgamous, you have died too many times, cmon wake u—"
Amal's mouth slowly formed into a smile and Jack jumped slightly in surprise. "I should've been an actor." She said as her eyes opened and Jack smiled. "It wasn't that convincing." He said as he stood to his feet before holding out his hand to the blonde haired girl.
Amal sat up slowly, wincing in pain before grabbing Jack's hand and letting him help her up. "Oh yea, and are those tears I see coming on fake like my death just then?" Jack shook his head with a small smile on his face.
Amal was about to say something else as she clutched her side, but was stopped when she glanced past Jack at Raf and Miko's tubes that they were stuck in and her eyes widened. "Jesus fuck, Miko! Your arm, good fuck—" Amal quickly went over and Jack looked, his eyes widening as well, wondering how he hadn't noticed it before.
"Tis but a flesh wound."
"Oh my primus, this is not the time to quote movies older than you." Amal said as she approached the pink haired girls tube. Miko giggled as she swayed slightly. "It's always time for that." She said as Amal glanced around the tube.
"Amal, I have a question." Raf said as Amal looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "How can you and Jack breathe the air?"
Amal frowned. "Well, I had a device put into my throat to clean whatever air goes through it. Basically it transfers it into oxygen. But Jack..." she trailed off as she furrowed her eyebrows at him.
"How in the ever living fuck are you alive?"

"June."
The black haired woman didn't bat an eye as she walked into the gigantic room of the ship she was on, her head held high as Unicron's minions snarled and growled as her as she walked by, looks of curiosity and hunger getting shot toward her.
Despite looking calm and unfazed on the outside, on the inside June was panicking, a feeling of the need to vomit coursing through her. But she held it back. She held all of the emotions that made her want to run away because she knew it was what humanity needed to stay alive, and she knew it was what she needed to do in order to wait for something to happen that would lead to the fall of Unicron's plan.
As she approached the Cybertronian god, despite everything running through her head, she kept her calm, despite knowing that he had just murdered her son, her own flesh and blood, the only thing she lived for.
And that was why she knew she had to play along with his scheme.
Just until there was some little hope of the end of his rein.
"Come. Sit with me. Like old times." Unicron said, holding out his servo. June shook her head. "The dark Energon will kill me." She stated and the god chuckled as he retracted his servo. "Oh, silly me. I forgot you fleshling can't quite handle what runs through us Cybertronians."
Unicron hummed as he turned to gaze out the window of his ship with a transparent map laid across it, seeing they had set course to Washington D.C.
"I got to thinking while you had your chat with the Prime."
June raised her eyebrows as he turned back to her. "Well, as I thought on how my plan to conquer this world has gone and what it plans to go to, I got to thinking...what kind of ruler would I be with a second in command." June continued to give him a look as he chuckled and gazed out back out the window.
"I have a doctor, a commander, but no second in command to help be my sort of...guidance. These brutes won't do it, no, I need brain." Unicron looked at her.
"What do you say, June?"
June had predicted this. She knew from the minute he revealed himself as Jack's father, he was going to come back to her, as he always did whenever she knew him as Chuck. Back then, they were inseparable, and now, that's what Unicron wanted again. Because he knew he could trust her if she came back to him.
And if she wanted to avenge her son's death, then she knew what she had to do.
But she knew how he played, if Unicron truly was the Chuck she had known. And he wouldn't be convinced by a simple 'yes'.
June swallowed. "What is your plan?" She asked and he smiled. "Excellent of you to ask, but one cannot reveal too much. Remember those superhero movies we watched? I'll end up just like those villains if I reveal my whole plan. But a great bad guy never leaves it all under the radar."
Unicron motioned to the map and June studied it for a moment before her eyes widened. "The White House...you're not going to—?" Unicron chuckled. "Oh no...not yet. I'll just be having a discussion with the leader of this Country, and...persuade him to contact the others that rule this world in order to start my rein." Unicron told her and she scoffed while looking at the god.
"Really? You think the presidents gonna speed dial them like papa john's?"
Unicron chuckled. "If he knows the risks of not doing so, then yes I hope so." June breathed out as she looked back out the window to think for a moment. Unicron watched her for a minute.
"If you don't min me asking, June, what was it that you and the Prime talked about?"
June thought for a moment, letting out a shaky breath as he crossed her arms, pressing her finger to her forehead.
"I told him he was a coward."
Unicron looked surprised. "Oh, really?" He asked, slightly enlightened. June nodded. "He's the reason my son is dead. If he had watched more carefully, and done anything, Jack would still be alive. But now he's not—" June let out another breath.
"—history repeats itself for Optimus. First Amal, now Jack. Two human lives on his plate. And he'll rust in there with that, like he deserves."
The feeling to vomit rose more and more when June forced those words out of her mouth. It pained her to say them, but whatever she said to Unicron was for the protection of earth, and the avenging of her son.
Unicron grinned. "Oh June, trust me. The Prime will get what he deserves soon enough. I'll make sure to punish him for his crimes."
June sighed. "Good." She said and this made the god perk up even more before he reached and unhooked a tiny object from his waist and tossed it to her. It landed at June's feet and she looked at it, immediately recognizing the rainbow disk that had a Decepticon symbol on it.
'The Holosuit.'
June slowly picked it up and clicked the Decepticon symbol, making the whole thing unfolded and cover her body in a holographic glow.
"Now, June—"
Unicron held out his servo again with a smirk. She looked into his purple optics.
"—what do you say about joining the winning team?"
June looked at his glowing servo, breathing in shakily before looking back up at the god.
And took a step onto his servo.
