Miracles

Optimus looked down at Steelfrost as she laid on the med berth, Unresponsive. Ratchet couldn't figure out why her vitals were down, like she was almost dead, almost.

"The only thing I can think of is that she forced herself into a dead stasis. From the stress of a force spark bond and then have it ripped away I would expect no less" Ratchet looked at prime.

"Maybe I should have discussed it with the others. To take Megatron alive."

"You can not blame this on yourself Optimus"

Optimus looked at his old friend nodding at him before looking at back down at Steelfrost. He felt guilty that she went through so much pain, but also that his friend/brother was now gone. He had hoped Megatron would sway from his path for the sake of Steelfrost but it took his death to end the war.

"Steelfrost"

Her optics opened to a deserted landscape, and a familiar smirking mech, that stood only a little taller than Megatron.

"Unicron" She growled him name "What do you want?!"

"Is that any way to speak to the one who is about to resurrect your beloved Spark mate?"

"What are you talking about?" She looked at him in confusion.

"Megatron; he will live yet again"

"The dark energon. He couldn't join the allspark. That's how your going to bring him back?"

"Your such a smart femme. I'm sure you would want to see him again. Though he will be quiet different-"

"Why are you bringing him back?"

"My dear, I need to return back to cybertron and destroy Primus."

"That will destroy Cybertron! You can't do that!" She growled the words.

"Destroying Cybertron will allow a new era . The era of Kaon"

"You seem so sure of yourself" she paused briefly. "Optimus will deal with you yet again and ensure you can't come back!"

"I will kill the Prime once and for all. Along with all who stand in my way" his smirk widen "Of course . I'll have to keep you. Megatron's spark will again bond with yours and fortunately it would be a reason to keep you around; as my personal slave"

The word made Steelfrost grow angry and scared at the same time. She shook her helm clenching her servos tightly. She looked away from him, the sound of his pedes getting closer made her servos only tighten even more. Unicron's sharp digit forced her to look up at him.

"Remember I can see anything you've ever done or will do"

Her optics widen "You've-"

"I'm sure Megatron was thankful for Optimus teaching you everything"

She yanked away from him "I'm never going to help you with anything you-ahhhh!!!!"

She screamed in pain and dropped to the ground as a strong shock filled her entire frame like being electrocuted. Her body had a dark Energon glow to it.

That seem to be enough to force her out of whatever nightmare she was in and caused her Chassis to burn. She looked around , the Nemesis med bay? Was Megatron's death a nightmare too? She look around but didn't sit up, she waited and listened . She opened her mouth as soon as she heard something.

"Knockout?"

"Well I certainly feel the love. I'm glad you're finally awake" Ratchet spoke walking to her side.

She sat up quickly "What are you doing here?"

He let out a heavy sigh "After you fell into Stasis . The Decepticons all but gave up, handing the warship over. Well some of them; the others still won't leave the Decepticon cause"

"So Megatron? He's death ; that was all real?"

"I'm sorry Steelfrost , but yes he's gone." he paused "Smokescreen was waiting for you to give a grad tour of Cybertron-"

He cut himself off when he saw her looking over to the mech that laid on a berth not so far from her. Steelfrost swung her legs over before getting off the berth.

"Who is he?" she pointed at him looking back at Ratchet

"He showed up while you were with Megatron. His name is Ultra Magnus. He and Smokescreen were attacked by what we believe were two Predacons."

Steelfrost stepped to the mech's side on the other side of ratchet, she glanced at him.

"How bad were his injuries?"

"Mostly internal damages. He has a long road to recover. But with good time he hopefully will be back to normal."

"Steelfrost?" Smokescreen's voice filled the room. As she turned into his arms he wrapped her tightly in a hug. "Thank Primus, you're okay"

She briefly hugged him back, before letting go. Smokescreen held on for a couple more awkward seconds before looking at her.

"Is she cleared for duty?"

Their optics fell onto Ratchet who didn't answer.

"Please Ratchet?" Steelfrost clasped her servos together pleading

"Fine fine" he waved her off.

"Awwwww you're so nice" she hugged him, before following after Smokescreen.

"You know I'm glad you are out of that stasis . It's been quiet boring."

She smiled at Smokescreen , They transformed and stayed close to each other. Smokescreen explained each location as they passed them.

"Its beautiful here" Steelfrost spoke.

"Just wait till its all shiny and new. You'll love it here" 

She wanted to be happy but as she rested a servo over her spark she frowned, it still felt empty. Smokescreen seemed to realize this and he stepped to her. He laid a servo on her arm and it seemed to snap her back to reality. 

"I'm sorry" She looked up at him. 

"Listen. I don't want to claim to know what you are going through. I've never been spark bonded with anyone before, but you have friends here that are wanting to help you. We really do care I know it's hard" 

"I know. I'm just trying to figure this out." She touched his servo. 

He offered a kind smile and in an attempt to distract her mind he jumped back to his happy self before he waved for her to follow him "C'mon Frost let's go!" 

That name caused a sting in her chest as she tried to hide her emotions, she followed after him unable to force a smile.
