A Special Kind Of Love Optimus X OC (Completed)

Information and the Escape

A femme medic was patching up Soundwave. She felt her spark race with fear, she tried her best not to tremble as she was welding his wounds closed.

Soundwave gazed at her and watched her work. She was young Autobot, with a purple and blue paintjob, and her optics glowed a light blue with a mix of pink, and on her arm was a Autobot insignia with a Red Cross behind it.

She finished then looked at his cracked screen, she hesitated then reached toward his face, she carefully removed his screen like face.

She was taken a back at what she saw behind the screen.

After a moment she then went back to her work and placed a new screen on, she then reached toward his chassis, he suddenly grabbed her wrists, two guards that were behind the nurse, pointed their blasters at him, ready to shoot.

"I know of your pet Laserbeak, I believe that he is badly damaged too... if I may.. I would like to fix him for you". She spoke in a calm voice trying to lower the tension.

Soundwave stared at the femme for a few moments and then slowly released her, Optimus and Bumblebee watched closely outside of the medical bay, they were trying to wrap their helms around the information Soundwave shared with them.

"Steel Strike? She's back? and with an army? I mean if that were true, knowing how good she is. How in the name of Primus did he escape?" Bumblebee asked with suspicion in his voice. 

"I am not sure either Bumblebee, I have thought about that as well, there has to be some endgame here. Is he part of this plan? Or is he actually.. being honest?"

"Honest? Like heck he is! I wouldn't trust him even if he was the last Transformer to exist!!! Why I-"

The whole building suddenly shook violently and red lights were flashing, and alarms were blaring. The Autobots fell to the ground, and the guards were knocked off their feet. The nurse looked up and gasped as she saw part of the ceiling come crashing toward her, she quickly pushed Laserbeak away on the little cart he was on and she was bracing for impact when she was then tackled to the ground.

She opened her eyes to see Soundwave on top of her, they were face to face for about a second, she felt her face plate heat up, Soundwave, unfazed grabbed her and picked her up, she was dangling in his arm and then he grabbed his precious pet.

The guards were about to arrest Soundwave but the entrance was blocked by rubble, Soundwave ran and was about to make his escape through a portal.

"No wait! Please! Save them! Or they will die!" The nurse begged as she punched at his arm with her fists.

Soundwave looked and saw Optimus and Bumblebee buried in rubble and the guards trapped in the medical bay.

He wanted to leave them, he wanted to just let them die, as revenge for killing Megatron and breaking apart the Decepticons and isolating him in that terrible shadow zone.

Then he could escape Cybertron before it could be destroyed by Steel Strike and find a new planet to live on.

But he was tired... Tired of death and always running and fighting. He did not want Cybertron to be left in ruins again, he was so happy when he saw Cybertron come back to life. He also was not wanting to be alone...again he was isolated for so long with almost no chance of escaping. But now... He was back and maybe it was time for him to start a new life, to change, to have a second chance, a chance to live on Cybertron again. His home.

He stopped before entering the portal and he set down the Nurse and placed Laserbeak in her arms.

"Go, I'll meet you on the other side". Soundwave spoke in his cold robotic voice but with a tint of kindness.

The Nurse nodded and jumped into the portal holding onto Laserbeak tightly.

Soundwave unleashed his tentacles and tossed the rubble off of Bumblebee and Optimus and then tossed the rubble away from the entrance.

Bumblebee coughed as he started to move, the guards picked him up and then they started to help Optimus up.

"Optimus! Are you-"

"I'm fine Bumblebee".

The Autobots looked at the Decepticon, they felt confused, shocked and relieved, Optimus nodded to Soundwave and Soundwave just barley tilted his head, he started to run and the Autobots followed him. Rubble was falling, the floors were cracking beneath them, they reached the portal and jumped just as the floor below them collapsed and then they all fell on a grassy meadow.

The Nurse was looking in the distance not moving an inch, the Autobots groaned as they got up and then saw what the nurse was seeing, and they could not believe their optics.

Cybertron was in flames.

Black clouds polluted the air and buildings were engulfed in flames and rubble was everywhere.

Optimus quickly tried to contact his team and McKayla, when suddenly Arcee appeared.

"Arcee!" Bumblebee ran toward her hugging her tightly.

"Oh Bee! When I saw the prison and the survivors and when I didn't see you or Optimus, I feared the worse and quickly started looking for other survivors and the team and I-

Arcee then stopped and saw Soundwave.

"You". She said with ice in her voice.

"Arcee, it's okay he saved us". Optimus replied trying to calm her down.

Arcee was shocked and had mixed feelings swirling inside of her, she wanted to shoot him, scream, rip out his speak but she knew that other things were more important right now.

"What is going on???" Arcee yelled.

"I'll explain everything later but now where is everyone? The team? the kids?" Bumblebee asked.

"They are all safe in the bunker".

"Arcee where is McKayla? Where are my children? Where is my wife?" Optimus hobbled over to Arcee with desperation in his eyes.

Arcee hesitated and then answered "I am so sorry Optimus I don't know where they are... I looked for them everywhere... I think they have been taken.... by them.
