But The Old You Died, And I Still Loved You

<1>

"Is He Stable...?" Optimus asked Ratchet."For the Last Time, Optimus, No. I don't even know if he will ever wake up. I don't understand why you even brought Megatron. He was on the verge of death when you brought him, and I tried all I could to make him stable. You need to give it time. if he even wakes up."Ratchet said. "I Know..but I just can't seem to let it go," Optimus said.

"He has a Point, My Liege."Thunderhowl said from behind him."SWEET SOLUS PRIME!" He screamed."you scared me.."Optimus said. "Oh.Sorry.but Ratchet is Right. You need to let him go."Thunderhowl said."Says the Bot who has lost everyone he ever knew."Optimus Muttered, Thunderhowl remains unphased by That Comment."Yeah, Anyway... Hot Rod Needs To Know when we are gonna build that statue of Soundwave. He's been bugging me about it since you mentioned building it.."Thunderhowl Said.

"You can give him permission to start work on it."Optimus Said."I shall, My Liege Prime." Thunderhowl said as he left."He is quite a different breed isn't he?" Ratchet Said."Yes...Definitely. Sometimes I have trouble understanding his way of seeing things."Optimus said. " I think everyone does." Ratchet said."but... I have noticed that he has been at The Isle of Onyx Prime more lately... I wonder what he is doing there."Optimus said.

"Why don't you ask him then?"Ratchet asked."I might." Optimus responded.

With Hot Rod...

"Hey, Thunderhowl! What did he say on the statue?"Hot Rod asked."He said you can start work on it," Thunderhowl said."Good.."Hot Rod said, kinda sad."You miss him a lot don't you?"Thunderhowl Said, Sitting Down Beside Him.
"As much as I normally wouldn't admit it, Yes. Yes, I do. It always hurts when you lose someone close... you would know what that's like, wouldn't you?"Hot Rod said. Thunderhowl is quiet for a moment."Yes. I Certainly Do."He Responds Finally."Onyx Prime is the one that Hurts A Lot when I think about it."Thunderhowl quietly says."...What were they like?"Hot Rod Said."What Were Who Like?"Thunderhowl Says, Confused at that question."I mean..you can't be the Only "Knight of The Primes" Right? There's got to be more of them.."Hot Rod said.

Thunderhowl turns his head for a moment." They were.. unique.. for sure. And they each had their own little thing that defined them as a knight of their assigned Liege Prime. For example, I can name each type of plant on Cybertron.. well, Cybertron Back Then Anyway." Thunderhowl Responded."Woah Really?! THAT'S SO COOL!" Hot Rod Yelled enthusiastically." not to be insensitive, but you have experienced Death over and over again.. what do you feel when someone dies now?"Hot Rod asked."I am very much Unphased By Death Now. It has no real effect on me anymore. I feel the pain that others feel from death, but I, Myself, am not upset about Death anymore."Thunderhowl Solemnly Said.

Back With Ratchet.

"Let's See if this works.."Ratchet Muttered, as he was still trying to get Megatron Stable."This is a higher frequency than before..maybe it will work better."Ratchet said. he turns on the machine. it starts up and starts shocking Megatron's Currently Moveless Body. After a minute, the machine turns off. It then says if it made him stable or not, or in-between, meaning he's Stable enough to Awaken, but not Stable enough yet to move much.

*Beep* The Machine Reads:Stablity:In Between."Oh, thank Primus! Now Optimus will stop Bugging Me... I needed that."Ratchet said, Before Leaving the room. Megatron groaned."I...I'm Still...Alive?But..How?"Megatron Asked."Megatron!"Optimus said."...Optimus?"He said, wondering why he was so excited to see him.
