Transformers: Dark Cybertron

Optimum Assistance

After the peace treaty signed in Australia, Optimus returned to the Ark and worked with Wheeljack and Grapple, "Grapple, how goes the search for other colonies?" Optimus asked as Grapple smiled, "Well, we found Velocitron alive and well, we're lookin' for Caminus right now, and we found a ghost ship." Prime rose a metallic brow as Red Alert walked by with Hot Shot and Ironhide. "What's the ship's name?" Optimus asked as Ironhide walked to them. Wheeljack gasped slightly, "The Trion, sir..." Prime narrowed his optics as he grabbed his gun and turned to Red Alert, "Red get your medical kit, Hotshot, Ironhide, go to Omega Supreme and get ready. Grapple, tell Hot Spot I'll need him and Wheeljack, notify Marissa Fairborne about my departure." Everyone as Red grabbed his gear and drove with Ironhide and Hotshot towards Omega Supreme. Swoop flew down and ran inside with the other bots as they got Omega ready for launch. Hot Spot walked with Optimus, "Sir, the Trion was shot out of the air wasn't it?" Prime shook his head, "Not anymore..." Hot Spot nodded as Jazz ran with Cliffjumper to a spacebridge, "Good luck Prime!" Jazz shouted as Prime nodded, "Thank you old friend!" Hot Spot rose a metallic brow then broke into a run, "Let's go save that ship!" Prime nodded as they ran and transformed and drove to Omega. As soon as they boarded Omega launched into space, "Omega! Is everythin' okay bud?!" Hotshot shouted as Omega responded, "Only a few of them are online..." Prime nodded, "Maximum speed old friend!"

An hour later, they all arrived at the Trion as everyone boarded it. Red Alert scanned for life, "7 life signs. O-On the bridge s-sir." Prime nodded, "Red Alert, Hot Spot, with me. Ironhide, take Hotshot and Swoop with you." Ironhide spoke up, "But Prime, take one warrior with ya. Hotshot go with Prime partner." Hotshot nodded and patted Hot Spot's shoulder as he walked to the others, "Alright, check engineering, we'll be in the bridge." Optimus said as the group split up. Hotshot loaded his gun and walked with Prime, looking around with his light. Red Alert shook slightly as Optimus looked at him, "Red Alert? You seem on edge. Is there something wrong?" Red sighed and nodded, "I just have these worries and I fear almost everything, and then seeing stuff happen that's bad just gets to my spark and OH PRIMUS IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN-" Red held his head as Optimus gently placed his hand on the young bot's shoulder and knelt down to him, "Easy Red Alert. Just focus on the mi- Actually, what was that one planet you put in your profile? The one you liked?" Red panted and looked up at Optimus, "Um... Sladneros-82?" Prime nodded, "Yeah, you said it was the most beautiful and peaceful place. Flowers all over the place and beautiful beaches with calming waves." Red nodded and sighed in relief as Prime hugged him. "It's all okay my friend. That will be your happy place." Red nodded and looked up at Prime, "Thank you sir." Prime nodded as he got up and walked on again. Hotshot smirked, "Lucky ass..." He looked around as Red rose a brow, "Wha? how?" Hotshot leaned in, "Optimus read your profile AND hugged you. Takes a lot from what I hear to get a hug from Optimus himself." Red smiled softly as they got to the bridge and looked around. Red Alert walked over to Moonracer as he brought her online. She slowly looked up and coughed, "Easy soldier, breathe." He gave her some energon as he went to Chromia and fueled up her spark. She was offline but still alive. Hotshot picked her up, "I'll get her to Omega." Red nodded as Optimus walked to the edge of the bridge and saw the other half of it floating away. He ran and jumped to the other side as he looked around. He saw body parts and guns floating with computer pieces. He walked around and felt a hand grab his shoulder. He turned and saw Elita-1's body bleeding out energon as she looked at him with a hopeless expression on her face, "Help me Orion..." Optimus immediately grabbed her and jumped back to the main ship, "Red Alert! Help!" Prime shouted in desperation as Red Alert ran over and pulled apart some metal as he welded it to mend her wounds. He then injected some energon into her as Optimus held her hand. Red Alert inhaled sharply as he brought Elita to a stable spark rate. He sighed in relief as Prime patted his chest, "Thank you, my friend." Red nodded as Prime picked up Elita and walked to Omega. Ironhide and the others returned as Hot Spot picked up two other bots and walked to Omega Supreme. Ironhide lifted Lancer as Swoop got Omega fueled up with the energon left over. Elita woke up as they were in mid-flight. She saw Red Alert and Hot Spot helping the others. She slowly looked up and saw Optimus holding her hand. Without a second thought, she hugged Optimus tightly, and he hugged her back just as tight. "Orion... I missed you..." She whispered as Optimus nodded, "And I missed you too Ariel." She smiled softly and leaked lubricant from her optics.

When everyone returned to earth, Ratchet, Wheeljack and Red Alert all got to work on fixing everyone. Prime smiled under his battlemask as he helped Elita to his quarters, setting her on his bed to relax, "I must be off now, but unlike last time, I will return Elita." She nodded and smiled, "Go save the Universe Optimus." He nodded and walked outside as Magnus joined him, "Ready?" Prime winked and gave him a fist bump as they walked towards a road and drove off to Autobot City.
