Neutrality (Tfp Megatron X Reader X TFP Optimus)

Request from http://comicbookcrazy.tumblr.com/ who requested ‘ Could you do an imagine where there's a very talented warrior but she's a neutral and both Optimus and Megatron have fallen for her and want her on their sides? They kidnap her her (Megatron) or meet her in battle (Optimus) and offer her to be on their side. She used to know both of them before the ear and is indecisive of what she should do.’ Thank you for your request and I hope you like it, you might see some G1 faces and names in here because I just couldn’t help myself.

“Backup is needed. I repeat, backup need-.” The Vehicon had been shouting down his comlink rapidly until you approached him and aimed a perfect blow to the side of his helm, sending him harshly into a pile of rocks inside the cave which sent him into stasis. You looked up and wiggled you digits after disposing of the decepticons who were watching the energon mine you were currently standing in the middle of. You were tall, mechs had often said you were all legs and wingspan, but were built for battle and as a trained gladiator you wore a yellow line of paint that ran through your neutrally green optics. You had attacked the Con soldiers for one purpose only, to get energon for your survival, you wanted no part in the war and only cared about yourself, what the factions decided to do was up to them. As you were placing some energon shards inside your subspace, a swirling ground bridge appeared behind you. Stealthily, you ran behind the nearest column of shards possible to avoid any further confrontation and waited patiently for the sound of pedes on the solid ground. They came not two seconds later when you counted three sets of pedes exiting the ground bridge.

“How did this happen?” An unearthly screech sounded from where the ground bridge had opened, followed by the clicking of struts on the floor which was a decidedly Seeker trait. “Was it the autobots?” The Mech screamed again as he paraded around the open cave.

“L-lord Megatron.” A chocked voice sounded next to you, once you looked down you saw that it was a Vehicon you had previously dealt with. That name though sounded too familiar, and it was so close to a name you wouldn’t forget. This new thought is what made you brazenly kick the vehicon in the faceplate from your hidden position before stepping out with your helm held high. Out of the Mechs that had greeted you, only the tyrannical gladiator in the middle was the one you recognised. You were right in your guess that one of them was a Seeker, the other one only had one optic that was beaming in to you with curiosity.

“Megatron?” You asked in an amused tone as you fully came to a stop in front of them, stretching your magnificent wings out and fixing Megatron with a sarcastic glare. “Is that the name you go by now, Megatronus?” At the use of their Master’s original name, both of his subordinates looked to him with shock. Megatron however couldn’t look away from you, all of a sudden, images of the two of you fighting together in the days before the war surfaced. He remembered the melodic sound of your laughter when you would win against a weaker Mech, the feel of your wings pressed close to him as you recharged due to the small spaces you were forced in to because you were gladiators. When the war broke out, he had tried to find you but you had seemed to disappear from the face of Cybertron itself. He didn’t expect that this would be the next time he got to lay optics on the femme that had stolen his spark. “Wow, I’ve rendered you speechless, you used to be a fun conversational companion, Megatronus.” The statement was followed by a series of ‘tuts’ from you as you currently teased the Deception leader.

“You’re looking good, Y/N.” He told you as he dragged his optics over your frame, you couldn’t help the small smug smile that appeared on your faceplate which all but stunned the other Mechs in the room. You looked over Megatron with your own judging optics, seeing how he had changed his servo since the last time you had seen him but overall, nothing had changed.

“As do you,” You replied with a wink, causing a smirk to appear on the Titan’s dermas. You turned then, looking towards the entrance you had come through before looking back to the three who were with you in the cave. “Now if you’ll excuse me Mechs, I better be leaving.” You told them, preparing to switch to your alt mode before a shot sounded and the rock just above your helm exploded into pieces. You rolled your optics in annoyance, wings drooping slightly as you turned back around to see Megatron with his cannon raised and smoking from its last use.

“I haven’t seen you in Vorns,” Megatron was getting slightly annoyed at your intention to leave after such a brief reunion. “And yet, you try to leave me.” He took a few steps closer to you, attempting to make himself bigger than you, and while he will always be taller, your unusual wingspan would also prove to be daunting. You raised you wings up in the air and spread them out in a counter to his intimidation technique.

“I do. I don’t want any part of this war, Megatronus, and I refuse to pick a side,” You told him as you took a daring step closer yourself, raising a servo so you could poke your digit into his chest plate. “Do you know how many friends I have lost because they chose between the factions?” You asked him seriously, green optics lowered into a glare as he growled at you for laying a digit on him. “Drift, Blitzwing, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Blackarachnia. Do I need to go on?” You asked him, noticing how when you mentioned the Seekers you had befriended in another galaxy who got offlined by some Autobot extremists, the Seeker present raised his head to turn to you.

“You are coming with me, Y/N.” Megatron hissed at you as he grabbed your servo in his much larger one and pulled you to him till you were flush against him chest plate. His other servo reached out to grab your faceplate so that he could force you to look up at him. “Whether you want to or not.” His command rang through you, the harshness in his tone that was a result of the war shook you to the very core. Never did you think that someone who you cared for would speak to you like that. With a hiss, you shook your helm to remove his servo before you utilised your upgraded wings to send him away from you, you did have the power to send him flying into the walls of the cave but you only pushed him back a few feet.

“I am not going anywhere with you, Megatronus.” You told him as you took a defensive stance, you might have rethought his offer if he was nice about it but you could see how much he had changed and that scared the pit out of you. “I’m the second strongest Cybertronian to ever live, I can’t allow myself to be a weapon.”

“Shockwave,” The cyclops turned towards Megatron, “Starscream,” You recognised the name of the Seeker, he was the other member of Thundercracker and Skywarp’s trine and you had heard them mention his name fondly many times. They were trying to reunite with him when they were intercepted. “Ensure she comes back with us.” They both looked to you then, taking an offensive step forward before you heard the tell-tale sign of a Ground bridge opening from behind you. You raised one wing towards the swirling vortex, ready to dismiss any Con that came out of it but you were well and truly shocked when another ghost from you past exited instead.

“Orion!” You shouted to him in shock, not expecting to see the two mechs closest to you spark in the same day after Vorns of not seeing them. The Autobot leader saw you and was completely surprised to see you in this situation. They had picked up another Cybertronian signal but he could have never bet that it would be you that he saw. He had met you one day in the gladiatorial pits while conversing with Megatron, you had literally dropped in to his life as you powerful wings had carried you through the open roof and landed you between the two mechs. You had stunned him instantly with your infectious smile and teasing behaviour which made him come up with excuses to visit Megatron more often.

“Y/N what are you doing here?” He asked you as he made his way to you, ensuring the Autobots kept an eye on the Decepticons so that there were no surprise canon fires. He held your faceplate softly, unlike Megatron had and inspected you for any injury before his optics stared in to yours with interest.

“I was getting some energon when I ran into an old friend,” You told Optimus before looking over to the absolutely seething Decepticon who watched as Optimus ran his servos over your frame, the fires of jealousy burning inside of him. “Seems it’s become a habit today.” You turned back to Optimus with a small smile before placing a servo on the autobots cheek. “It’s good to see you, Orion Pax.” That seemed to send Megatron off the deep end as he shot another round at Optimus who quickly grabbed you and pulled away from the line of fire.

“Get the femme.” Megatron spoke the simple order before Starscream and Shockwave ran towards the other Autobots, who responded in kind by running at them. As the Autobots held the attacking forces back, Optimus turned to you with pleading optics which you tried, but couldn’t ignore.

“Come back to the Autobot base with me Y/N,” He started which had you immediately shaking your head. It seemed hilarious to you that after years of not joining a team, both were vying for your favour. “You will be safe and you could be a great asset to us.” He asked you once again, taking your servos in to his but all you could do was shake your head more.

“My dear Orion,” You spoke softly as you took your servos from him, sending him a small smile as you did. “I don’t want to be an asset to anyone,” You began. “I care for you and Megatronus deeply, I can’t side with one without betraying the other and I won’t do that to either of you.” That was the real reason why you were neutral, you could not imagine a world where you hurt either Mech, Primus, it hurt you just seeing them fight after all that they had been through. “Besides, I have people who depend on me and I need to get back to them,” You smiled at him cheekily then, “So if you don’t mind keeping your old friend at bay as I make my escape, I would be eternally grateful.” Optimus looked between you and the Gladiator who was quickly dealing with his troops, he wasn’t going to push you to choose between the two of them which is why, with sad optics, he nodded to you once before charging at Megatron.

You watched as they clashed with roars of battle, your mind quickly changing to a similar scene before the war when Megatronus was showing Orion some simple defensive moves, since the librarian didn’t want to be violent. You remembered the day vividly as one of laughter and jest, both Megatronus and Orion were anything but serious when it came to their training battles which would often have you doubling over in laughter when they would wrestle like sparklings. It was so bizarre to see them now, fully intent on hurting each other when the last memory you had of both of them was on that training day, rolling around in the rust as you found it hard to watch. With that daunting thought, you transformed in to your alt mode and jetted off into the atmosphere, trying to put the events of the day behind you.

You landed on an old abandoned industrial pier, your pedes hitting the floor as you entered one of the warehouses and removed the energon that you had collected from the day on a steel table. Not seconds after doing this did two sets of engines sound from outside as two Seekers entered the warehouse and walked up to you with identical smiles on their faceplate.

“Hey! Looks like you got a good score!” The purple tinged Seeker shouted happily as he reached for one of the energon shards with a servo before you hit him away with you wings.

“Did something happen?” The blue one asked as he saw the drained look on your faceplate, he was much more courteous than his trine mates.

“You will not believe what sort of day I’ve had, Warp,” You told Skywarp as you kept Thundercracker’s hands off of the limited supplies. “TC, I swear to Primus don’t test me.” You raised your voice at the other trine member who only then noticed your deflated personality.

“Primus, what happened?” TC asked you as he patted your arms in support.

“I ran in to Megatron and Optimus and the Decepticons and the Autobots,” You reeled your lists as you placed your helm in your servos in order to ease the aching instrument. “Starscream was there.” At the mention of their last trine member they both looked to you expectantly.

“Does he think we’re-.” Skywarp began before you butted in.

“Offlined?” You asked the rhetorical question before continuing. “Yeah because I didn’t know it was him at the time, you wanted the Con’s to think you had perished but if I had known he was there I wouldn’t have-.” You rattled on, only for both trine member to come forward and engulf you in their hold, granted they were shorter than you but you still appreciated the gesture.

“Don’t worry, it was an accident.” Skywarp tried to calm you down as you thought you failed them.

“Guess we’re just gonna have to get involved,” TC chimed in with a small grin, “Or at least as involved as we can get as neutrals.” He added once Skywarp sent him a look.

“No, I think you’re right,” You told them both, no longer feeling sorry for yourself but instead thinking back to your confident gladiator days. “We could make this war a little more interesting.” You smirked to them both, silently asking them if they would join you.

“We’re in.” Both trine members said at the same which caused you to grin at them before temptation started to brew inside of you. Time for you to re-enter the fray.

Should I do a sequel to this? Thoughts everyone.
