Predacon Outcast

Chapter 58.

"Papa what happened?!" I exclaimed.

Optimus laid Elita on one of the medical tables and looked at me.

"She was shot, but Ratchet and Lockshift can help her. So can you."

Help Mama, yeah yeah I can do that! My component can do that! She's gonna be okay! I give my father a nod and rushed up to my mama, getting up onto the table and looking at her injury. There was a big black burn mark right where her spark would be, but it didn't seem to go through at all. Okay okay, I can do this. Deep breath...

"Ratchet, I am going back to face Megatron once and for all. Please do all that you can for her."

"We will Optimus, I promise." Ratchet said.

Optimus turned and rushed out of the room. I hovered my servos over my mother's wound, dripping the healing component onto it. Elita flinched when it touched her injury, but sighed of relief a few seconds after. Just like everyone else I've helped, so that's a good sign. Right? Well, all to do now is wait while Ratchet and Lockshift do their professional duties.

Time passed and mama Elita wasn't getting any better, this really worried me. Why isn't she getting better? My healing component should be working! Ratchet, Lockshift and even Scrapmaker were doing everything they could to keep her stable, but her life was slipping away. I stood by her side while she was STILL unconscious, she will probably never open her optics again...

No...NO! I can't lose my mama! She's the first mother I've ever had and she loved me as much as I love her! She can't die..! Primus PLEASE don't let my mother die...! I can't lose her, I can't... Tears were streaming down my face as I looked at Elitas still form.

Just then the door to the infirmary opened and in walked my papa, Queen Xeno with no dome, her boyfriend and her little family. I didn't look at them as I didn't want to take my eyes off of my mama, still hoping she would open her optics. Optimus walked up beside me and took Elitas servo into his, looking at her with a sad look.

"We've been doing everything we can, Optimus. Springlock applied her healing component and it's taking effect, but it's not acting quick enough." Ratchet said.

How is it not acting quick enough?! Nex made it so it could heal any injury! The only reason it didn't work on Queen Xeno when she was stabbed is because she's not full Cybertronian, but my mother IS full Cybertronian! Why isn't it working?! I could feel more tears streaming down my face, this can't be it...I looked at my papa.

"Optimus..." I heard my mamas voice, it was very quiet.

My ears perked up as we both looked to Elita, we both saw that her optics were open.

"Mama?" I asked, rather hopeful.

She gave us a small smile, "Yes, sweetspark...it's me."

"Elita..." Optimus says.

Mama looked at him, her smile disappearing.

"Optimus...we both know I don't have much longer...so please, promise me something..." she said weakly.

Oh no...she IS going to die...

"There's nothing I wouldn't do for you." He told her.

Elita smiled and coughed.

"Please...take care of our daughter..." she whispered.

He nods to her, "I promise."

"And Springlock," she looked at me, "You must promise me something too.."

"Wh...What, Mama?" I ask, sniffling a bit.

"Promise me...that you'll be a good little girl, and never forget me..." She said.
