Transformers Prime: Autobot Dagger

The Signal

"I am Optimus Prime...I send....All Autobots...To Earth." This message repeated over Dagger's comm. The message was distorted but she got the main plot of it, she had to leave this forest planet. It messed with her gears, it was quite unexpected for the planet but it was the only one she could get on after the Fall of Cybertron. There was creatures on this planet but no one in charge.

There were big and small ones. Some had sharp teeth and claws and some just soft paws and gums. Some had tentacles. Mammals is what she eventually learned what they were. It was humid there got her fears watered and rust. Her old paint was started to peel off, having hard time transforming into vehicle mode...that wasn't the planets fault.

Once she got the message it gave her a reason to leave. She was afraid, naturally, the Decepticons have been killing anything in their paths and the worst part Autobots. Not too long ago Dagger fought off a Decepticon named Killognome, he was one of Megatron's brute force men. He destroyed her T-cog, so she went into hiding in one of the thickest trees. Killognome haunted her down but she got the jump on him but climbing one of the thick branches and landed on top of him stabbing his head with her blade.

That was a couple months ago. Now she is hurling towards Earth. She knew Prime, last time she saw him was when they were battling back on Cybertron. Decepticons had the turn of the war, the planet itself was covered in smoke, bodies, fire, and rubble. Her and her sister were pinned down, they both shot their way through it until her sister was killed. Bullet right through her chest, there was no way Dagger could have stopped it. No later after that Autobots were told to flee the planet.

She hoped this Earth will be better for her, not because of Scarcity wet forest but to be back with others, not on her own. Dagger just hoped that he would still be there, that when she does land, that she won't be alone again.

"Optimus," Rachel yelled over his shoulder. "We have a signal."

The other gathered around Rachet as a blue dot blinked. "What type of signal?" Jack asked looking up at the screen.

"Decepticon?" Miko asked looking over at Rachet.

Rachet shook his head. "No," He slowly turned to Optimus. "It's an Autobot signal."

"Where is the signal coming from?" Arcee asked looking over at the screen as well.

"Looks like they landed in the Redwood forest," Rachet answered looking back at the screen. "Here is the bridge."

Optimus nodded and looked over at Arcee, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee. "Let's roll." He said transforming into his truck and the others did as well.

They drove through the portal and landed on grass and surrounded by trees and rocks. They transformed back and looked around. "Look," Bulkhead pointed as the saw smoke rising to the sky. "That is where they must have landed." Trees were also down and broken.

Bumblebee beeping noises came from him indicating that he agreed. "I agree we should..." Arcee was about to comment before a blast went through the air.

It went passed Arcee as it slammed against a rock wall. They all readied up and looked around, before they knew it something dropped down and tried to kick Optimus. He grabbed their foot and threw her forward.

They all aimed their weapons at the target. "Do not fear it is I, Optimus Prime."

"Prime?" The voice asked and stood more straight. Bumblebee perked up. It was Dagger, he was the first to put his weapon away.

When he was beeping towards her she perked up as well. "Bee?" She was excited to see him last time she saw him was Megatron holding him around his neck. Bumblebee nodded and walked to her, he noticed how battered up she was in. Was even in the old Cybertron cycle parts she had attached to her.

Dagger put her weapon away. "Don't tell me that this is what the whole planet looks like." Dagger said smirking over at Prime.

Bulkhead shook his head, chuckling. "No they have different landscapes, even snow."

"Snow." Dagger repeated looking over at Arcee. "Sorry I almost shot you Cee."

"You're aim is still terrible." She teased.

Dagger rolled her eyes and looked over at Bumblebee. He was closer to her his optics wide. She smiled at him. "Happy to see you in one piece Bee."

He nodded at her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Same here." He beeped.

Dagger was surprised, why didn't he just speak. Before she asked a green and blue portal popped up. "You have a space bridge?" Dagger asked looking over at Optimus.

"Indeed, let's roll out." They walked through the portal and she followed once going through she was surrounded by granite and metal.

She jumped when it went off and she looked forward. Even with her old friends she was on the defense. Bumblebee was the first one to turn around. "Come on." He beeped and everyone turned.

Dagger walked all the way in and noticed how big the room was, there was a tank on the left with another large entryway. In front was some sort of pillar, some chair of some kind, and a square box. Then the right there was another large entryway.

"Dagger," Optimus said making her look over at him. "You are on planet..."

"Earth," She finished looking over at the computers with Rachet that's when she noticed skinned tiny insects. She backed up. "What in the all spark?"

"Humans," Optimus stated noticing her reaction. Bulkhead walked to the side where they were. "They are no harm. Children and our friends."

Dagger nodded. "Small aren't they?"

"Like little bugs!" Miko yelled over.

Dagger walked over. "Our bugs were much larger."

Her eyes beamed with curiosity and joy. "Like scraplits?"

Dagger shot her head over. "That was a month ago, we were infested." Bee explained.

"How are you alive?" Dagger asked.

"You do not want to know." Bulkhead said scratching his head.

"Uh huh." Dagger rolled her eyes then looked at Rachet. "If I remember correctly you can fix things?"

"From the looks of it you look battered." Arcee said folding her arms. "What happened?"

Optimus looked over at Dagger. "Rachet let's help repair her then you can tell what happened to you after Cybertron."

Dagger nodded and walked over to where Rachet was pointing to. "Yes," Miko said. "More Bot stories."

As she walked over to the table, she didn't notice Bumblebee watching her every move. He thought she died back on Cybertron. No one saw her once Optimus saved him from Megatron, when they fled. He grieved her for years and now she is here, in front of him. "Hey Bee," He heard his little friend say. "You okay?" He look down at Raf before looking back up.

Bumblebee nodded and walked to Raf before looking one more time to see her looking at him. They have some catching up to do.
