Transformers Prime: Tarn & Spectra

Together again

Spectra didn't feel anything. Is that it?, she thought, Is this the afterlife? 

It wasn't. She reopens her optics, and couldn't believe what she was seing. Tarn was grabbing Megatron's cannon blast. Even the latter and the other Decepticons were surprised. Spectra then looked at Tarn. He was surprisingly alive, and he was looking at the blast ,his optics back at his usual red. He closed his hand, destroying the blast, before turning towards Megatron.

"Explain to me," his voice was angry, "Why this?"

"What is 'this'?" Megatron retorted.

Tarn sighed and showed in his other servo the dark Energon shard. 

"I am very, very disappointed," he said, looking down at the fragment, "I was your most loyal follower. I joined you because I wanted to help you in your goal to destroy the Autobots, and that's how you thank me?" His voice got increasibly louder as his face behind the mask grew darker, "By reviving me as a metal slave drone that will simply obey every order of yours?!" 

His hand holding the dark Energon shard closed, crushing it.

"Why that? While you could use her green Energon, that would perfectly work. Or are you telling me that your poor mind didn't know that?"

"You dare?!" Megatron screamed at him.

"Yes I do !"Tarn screamed back, just as he aimed his double cannon towards the Decepticons before shooting, the shot kocking Megatron and pushing him and the others in the space bridge, which closed right after. Tarn turned toward Spectra, with a happier face.

"Good to be back, isn't it?"

A tiny smile made its way onto Spectra's face. "That's the Tarn I know," she chuckled, and threw herself at her best friend."I'm so glad you're back," Spectra said emotionally, "I missed you so much."

"It's alright, it's alright," Tarn murmured, "I'm back now," he said as he eased himself out of the hug, "I bet you had a lot of adventures before finding me."

"Of course I had," Spectra smiled, and a groundBridge appears next to them, "But before I tell you, I think fun is waiting for us."

Optimus Primus and the other Autobots came out of the GroundBridge before it closed. When they see Tarn, they can't believe their eyes.

"Is that Tarn?" Smokescreen asked.

"The one and only" Tarn assured.

"Looks like we got the big fish today," Arcee said as she prepared herself for battle.

"Oh, please," Spectra rolled her eyes, "I think you've got the wrong big fish."

"As per usual, dear Spectra," Tarn chuckled.

A rumble behind the Autobots was heard and they turned back at once, many groaning internally for not getting a minute of respite. Because indeed, right there standing was Grindor, in all his tallness and obstination.

"Grindor shall never abandon his goal!"he exclaimed.

"A three-way fight," Tarn smirked, "Well, this is where the fun begins."
