Transformers Prime [REWRITTEN]

¦¦ CHAPTER NINE ¦¦

Somewhere at the rocky canyons, Optimus and Ratchet are walking down a narrow path. "Optimus, what do we hope to find here?" "The site of the largest Cybertronian battlefield in this galaxy." The medic seem surprised, "On Earth? You must be joking." Though the Prime did shrug a bit, "Do you recall the period late in the war? When both sides began hiding their energon spoils. Off world?" "Of course! It's the reason energon deposits exist on planets such as this one." Even Optimus agreed to that, "It is also the reason battles came to be waged on planets such as this one. And I fear Megatron's memory is as long as history.."

Back at base where Miko tried to climb onto Weapon's shoulder to see what he's doing, "What's that?" "An energon signature tracker, to know who is alive or not." Raf got interested, "Energon signature tracker? This must be done by-" The triple-changer nodded, "Originally, it was Que but Ratchet mortified it..Que is an Autobot and scientist before he perished." They added before the kids asked, poor old mech didn't deserved that..

Jack hesitated to put his hand on their pede, "Sorry..He must be close to you?" The triple-changer shook his head, "No, but he's a nice guy. He's probably close with other comrades of mine but didn't asked who." The kids felt awkward while Weaponchanger just do his work in silence. "So, what kind of Transformer are you? Can you transform into a car or a jet?" Raf inspected his jet wings, "Both, I'm a triple-changer." This got the boy curious so the secretary explained, "A triple-changer is a Cybertronian who can transform into a bot, a ground vehicle and an aircraft at the same time. This is almost rare but umm..It is also an advantage." Then the girl bounced a bit with a smile on her face, "So you can fly? Can you take me on a jet ride?" The Autobot just smiled a bit, "Maybe later, no offence but I'm still not used to people sitting inside me for..twenty-one years." The kids are surprised to hear on how many years, "Twenty-one years? Yeah, aliens can live up to hundreds of years." This caused the secretary to chuckle, "Well, you should have seen me back on Cybertron many years ago before we came here on Earth in the 80s." He proudly said to them and before any of the kids said anything, the engines came from the entrance and revealed their caretakers.

"Did you kids had fun with him?" Arcee asked then Miko ran to her, "Yeah! He told us about this guy named Que then about triple-changing Transformers like him!" She jumped excitedly as she told them. "Also about how you guys landed here since the 80s too." Raf added as he adjusted his glasses with an amazed smile then Bulkhead walked up to him, "Yeah, miss those years where I hung out with Percy, Warpath, Blaster and others!" The Wrecker recalled with a chuckle of nostalgia. The Autobot secretary then addressed the problem to his team, "Also, Agent Fowler came. He saw the kids and is going to explain to the Pentagon." Bee beeped a bit loud so Weapon calmed him down, "Hey hey, as long we actually promised to keep these kids safe, I'm sure he'll say an okay." "He better, this much exposure to ourselves is dangerous. Who knows there's people who will take advantage of us?" The motorbike told her teammates and they seem to agree.

"By the way, what's taking the Prime and Ratchet that long?"

Optimus and Ratchet are still at the rocky canyons and finally stopped where all the dead Cybertronians laid in battle. Only the medic shows full shocked while the Prime shows a little of it, "Okay, we only came here just to check, not to stumble upon.." "Trust me, old friend..I wasn't expecting this either." They both heard an aircraft sound from the sky and it transformed back to the tyrant leader that they knew but never expected to come. "Optimus! Been well? I see you bought your trusty watchdog. I could certainly be condolencing in a scrap yard by now." Megatron said to the two Autobots, "Why don't you invite him down here for a chat?" The medic sounded both sarcastic and threatening by adding the fighting gesture as a small touch, "I know why you're here, Megatron." This gave the Decepticon a chuckle, "Hardly a surprise, Optimus. After all, you and I have been at this a long time, and your time has come to an end!" He held up the Dark Energon shard to the air then threw it to the ground. The shard is slowly absorbed by the ground and created a giant crack, "Rise, my army!" The Autobots saw a dead Cybertronian soldier rose up from the ground like how a zombie would in horror flicks, "By the AllSpark..." Then came more and more and more.

"Behold the power of Dark Energon!" Megatron says it with a dark smile on his face.
