Transformers Prime A New Age [ON HOLD]

Chapter 2

Ratchet, Arcee, Elita-1, and Alice were sitting at an outside table at KO burger laughing until Ratchet asked a question.

“Elita… are you still…. in love with Optimus?” Ratchet asked Elita.

“Listen Ratchet, although we were once together I personally think you need Optimus more than me. I don’t care if I’m single the rest of my life because once I learned about your past I realized that, yes Optimus and I were once a thing, that’s passed and he needs to move on. You were there for him when I couldn’t and that you two deserve to be together. But to truthfully answer your question Ratchet, a small part of me still loves Optimus but I believe you were the next bot that deserved his love.” Elita-1 said while putting a hand on Ratchet's shoulder.

“O-Oh well I guess that relieves some of the anxiety I had,” Ratchet chuckled. Elita and Arcee sighed and shared a look which resulted in the two sisters to grin.

“Elita, I’m riding with you so you can tell me your idea you and ‘Cee just thought of.” Alice said, looking at Elita expectantly. Elita shrugged but ended up letting the teenager ride with her. On the way back Elita made sure her com-link wasn’t open so nobody could hear her and Alice’s conversation.

“Alright ‘Lita you better spill the tea.” Alice said, looking at Elita’s holoform.

“Alright Al, me and Arcee have decided to force Optimus and Ratchet to be in a room together for a whole day but I need someone who knows the Decepticons well and has their trust to try to persuade them not to attack during that time frame.” Elita said while she looked at Alice.

“Well I know Megatron, he’s kinda like an uncle to me now. Don’t tell Optimus or Ratchet, but there were times where I would go to the Nemesis just to visit Megs, and he wouldn’t let anyone harm me at all and he would also let me do anything I want.” Alice said proudly. Elita just gawked at the teenager.

“HE LET YOU DO WHATEVER YOU WANTED!?!?!”  Elita screamed. Alice nodded at the femme while she simply stared at the road in shock.

“Yeah, and he also said to me he regrets killing you and Cliffjumper and he wishes he never started the war.” Alice added casually. Elita slammed on the breaks and pulled over only to look at the girl in disbelief.

“He actually said that to you!?!?!?” Elita asked Alice in shock. Alice nodded and relaxed while Elita looked out at the road in shock. Back at base Elita-1 and Arcee were telling everyone else except for Ratchet and Optimus their plan. Alice was supposed to go and visit Megatron that night to ask him if the following day he wouldn’t try to attack at all the following day so they could do their challenge while the rest of them moved the sleeping forms of Ratchet and Optimus into the challenge room. Later on that night everything was set and Alice had just contacted Megatron and asked him if she could visit. The warlord agreed without hesitation as he saw Alice as a sort of younger sister. Once it was time Alice bridged onto the Nemesis and was immediately picked up by a happy Megatron.

“Hey Megs,” Alice managed to choke out as she was running out of air. Megatron realized he was squeezing the human girl and released his grip on her.

“Hi Alice, what is it you needed to ask me?” Megatron asked, looking at Alice curiously.

“Well Megs, me and a few friends plan on locking Ratchet and Optimus in a room together for 24 hours starting at midnight but I need you not to make any sort of war moves tomorrow,” Alice said looking at Megatron pleadingly. Megatron sighed but gave in and promised he wouldn’t do anything.

“Besides I personally think my army needs a break, they’ve been working nonstop for a while now.” Megatron said, running his free servo down his faceplate. Alice chuckled and smiled up at the warlord.
