Transformers Prime [REWRITTEN]

¦¦ CHAPTER TWELVE ¦¦

The communications officer went to see his leader in his office, something about going back to Cybertron. He was confused on why Megatron insist to do that but no matter, when he finally reached his office, he saw his old friend already sat down. The silent mech could only think he's been expecting his arrival.

"Soundwave! Come, sit down." Soundwave went to his seat which is facing the warlord, "I know what you are thinking; why must we go back to Cybertron after my three years isolation from the Nemesis with a gift of Dark Energon? Well, I've been thinking of...reviving the dead if there are any on that planet." Though the mech doesn't have an expression to show, he jolted a bit. "But Lord Megatron--!" The voice that the officer took from the particular assistant of the Decepticons' doctor followed out, "How do we assist you, my liege?" Then came one of the Eradicon troops, "Here's how this is going to be done, old friend." The tyrant said with a smirk.

Jack came to K.O Burgers with his own bike, he was relieved about yesterday; he, Raf and Miko didn't have to join the Autobots to do some dangerous stuff but a part of him want that pumped up feeling. He was about to go inside until, "Nice bike." He turned around to see a familiar blue and pink motorbike, "Arcee-" The boy sighed, "Listen, Optimus already told us that it's not our choice to join in on one of your missions. If it's getting any riskier and could endanger us-" "..Jack, I just lost someone I've cared about. Maybe it's the grief talking that is growing on me, it's fine that you don't want to join in so you can be safe from the Cons' servos. But..." Jack swore she slumped down, for a bike that is, "We would be appreciated if you can help us..as allies. Like way back then; Spike, Sparkplug, Carly, Raoul and the other guy I forgotten his name but he's friends with Weaps.." The boy got surprised, so there's used to be human allies before them? If that's true from Arcee then why didn't they meet them, he thought. "It's your path, I don't choose for you but you only.." She drove a bit forward for empathising and Jack could only bite the inside of his cheek to choose his choice.

Back at the base of Autobots, Ratchet was busy at his station until he got a message from the left side of the screen, he doesn't recognise the number but it must be important so he opened it and lets out a voicemail, "This is Special Agent Randall, am I speaking to Optimus Prime?" A male voice that the medic also doesn't recognise, "No, this is Ratchet speaking. Optimus is busy at the moment." He heard a frustrated sigh on the other line after that response, "Okay, the reason I'm calling is because of a Decepticon activity on the giant sized array linked radio telescope dishes in Texas!" The doctor couldn't believe his audials, "What?!" "Hang on, give me a sec-" A picture is showing Soundwave hacking into the systems. "Optimus, come here quick!" The leader immediately came to his direction, "Ratchet, do you recall when Megatron said about reviving an army?" The medic already shown his knowing expression, "Dark Energon..? Wait, don't even tell me-" "If Earth has only one Cybertronian war that he already did then our home planet is next.." Cybertron is long-gone dead so they both knew there's going to be many deceased bodies. Suddenly, a young girl's voice called out, "What's going on? Is there a Con activity? Can we join too?" Miko gasped then the Autobots' doctor hushed her out, "This isn't child's play! Let the adults do the job!" However for the Prime has an idea, "Agent Randall, can you send the satellite codings to the systems?" "Um sure, my array staff and I can do that but why?" The two Autobots looked at each other, "The Decepticons' ship is on Earth too so it would probably be next to this planet. And while you all try to stop them, the children on the other hand.." Ratchet looks at Miko and Raf and it seems the agent on the call knows what's what, "Oh noo, no no no! That girl isn't going to be involved in this sh-" He got cut off by Weaponchanger who looks worried.

"This isn't gonna work, Soundwave is not some mech to mess with." He said with concern. Raf then spoke up, "Well, I can help by rehacking on whatever he was trying to do with Agent Randall's codes." Everyone looked at the young boy, "You? A hacker?" "I watched a lot of governmental hacks before.." A honk alerted them and they saw Arcee with Jack drove inside, "Hey, guess who's back." Miko ran towards him, "Jack, we are going to Texas!" "Wait what? What's the commotion?" Even Arcee's confused so Optimus explained, "Megatron is trying to get to Cybertron to revive the dead with Dark Energon by using the spacebridge next to this planet and the children would need to rehack the system from the telescope dishes at Texas." Jack looks stunned by this, now this is weirder. "But what about the spacebridge? What should we do?" Bumblebee and Bulkhead finally came after overhearing the discussion, "Okay, you guys don't fly except Weapon but would be unfair for one Bot against an army but can't you guys just groundbridge there?" Miko suggested, "The groundbridge has limited range, stretched all the way into orbit; its vortex could snap! And scattered us to the stars." The girl is surprised by that when Ratchet explained about the groundbridge's disadvantage.

"Since Megatron is likely already in transit, I'm afraid we must take that risk. I and the Autobots will go through to reach the spacebridge first then Jack, Miko and Raf are next to go to Texas." The Autobots looked at Optimus when he turned to face the groundbridge, "Getting there immediately is our only means of stopping him..."
