As the few bots flocked towards him, Decatron scrambled to his feet and leapt towards the door, once more the general focus point for a stampede.
"Hey look, it's glowing!" Someone back in the cafeteria commented. Decatron panted as he dashed forward, the other Predacons beginning to tread on his heels.
"FASTER!"
"Out of my way!"
"Move, move, MOVE!" The bots behind him yelled. Decatron began to appreciate what Megatron went through every day. KA-BOOM!!!
"I guess we're safe." Decatron wheezed as he got up, pushing the other bots off him. "Everyone, let's regroup and meet up with Lazorbeak."
"Who's Lazorbeak?"
"Why are we regrouping with him?" Of course, he cursed silently. Only the kitchen workers would have heard that rumor about Megatron's goodies. One of the mob, whom he recognized vaguely, whispered into his audio sensor.
"Make something up, quick!"
"Errr... Uh, Lazorbeak, um, is, er, the Supreme Commander's seventh in command! Um, we're going to, uh... See if there really was a second crate!" It got easier as the words came to him.
"A second crate?"
"I didn't know about a second crate?!"
"Of course not. Megatron was trying to keep it a secret, so he could have it all to himself." Decatron lied glibly.
"Who Does He Think He Is?!?"
"Let's get him!"
"Nice going," whispered the bot, who he finally remembered was named Crumball.
"Shut up." muttered Decatron as he addressed the crowd again.
"Listen Up! Did I mention Lazorbeak is also the leader of an underground resistance group dedicated to overthrowing Megatron?"
"Cool!"
"How do we join?"
"I hope we don't have to fill in a bunch of forms."
"Tell me!"
"Anything's better than kitchen work." Decatron hadn't expected THIS much enthusiasm. Oh well, it couldn't hurt.
"Everybot, follow me!" He called.
"WAIT!" Another bot stood up. "What if there's some gon-gons that didn't get blown up?" Instantly all the heads of the kitchen workers turned back towards the speaker, a large polka-dot-bot.
"Pay no attention! It's impossible!"
"But what if there are any left?! We might be missing out!" Decatron sighed.
"Fine, Go Ahead And Leave! But when Megatron finds you sitting in the remains of the only box of energon-gons on the ship, do you know what he's going to do?" Everyone stared at him. "HE'S GOING TO MELT YOU DOWN AND INCINERATE YOUR REMAINS!!!"
"Heh, heh... Maybe we should go see Lazorbeak. Heh, heh, heh!"
"He's just trying to scare us! Don't listen!"
What do you do now?
