The Reflection On The Other Side (Transformers Prime Fanfic)

Chapter Seven

OPTIMUS POV

The drones swarmed over to us as we exited the ground bridge. The drones fired, completely missing. It didn't take long for the shattered versions of ourselves to come out and greet us.

"Who're these hunk of junks?" A bot with a round figure stood outside of the ship.

It was S-Bulkhead.

"They're the different versions of us apparently." Hornet responded.

S-Bulkhead punched his own hands together. "Well they look very punchable."

The two bots charged at us, we attacked back. The air was filled with dust, followed by the sounds of weapons clashing. But the fact that I didn't see Nemesis anywhere concerned me. I shoved S-Cliffjumper out of the way, preventing him from getting to Arcee. I couldn't let Arcee be distracted in battle.

The Shattered versions were undoubtably, physically stronger. But they didn't underestimate us; Shattered Cliffjumper and Ratchet were ones up against me. I could tell my body was hesitant to strike them; after all, they looked exactly like our own. But I was stopped short when a familiar voice called out to me.

"Stop now Optimus." Nemesis rasped. "Unless you want this scout to die."

I quickly turned as I backed away. There I saw Nemesis holding Bumblebee close to him; holding a blaster next to his helm. My optics widened in rage as Bumblebee yelped in pain, Nemesis pressed his blaster against Bumblebee harder.

BUMBLEBEE POV

I winced in pain as Nemesis pushed his blaster harder on the side of my head. I slowly opened my optics to see Optimus glaring at Nemesis.

"What is it you want." He growled, his frame rumbled.

Nemesis smirked, it was the exact reaction he wanted. "I might as well kill this scout, but I won't...if you agree to come along."

My optics widened. What did Nemesis want that had to do with Optimus?! What was he going to do to him? I couldn't let Nemesis habe what he wants.

"Optimus! Don't do what he says- it's a trap!" I yelled, trying to get out of Nemesis' grasp.

Nemesis only tightened his grip. "Shut it scout." I know he was trying his best to hide it, but I could see the anger in Optimus' eyes growing. "So Optimus, what will you choose?"

"The scout's life.....or the world's?" Nemesis grinned in a raspy voice.

Optimus stood straight up, he then put his blasters away- putting his hands up. "I'll go with you; let Bumblebee go Nemesis." He lowered his face guard.

"Do you think I'm foolish?" Nemesis glared at Optimus. "He's still coming with us, with you...."

Optimus grit his teeth. "Fine- but if you hurt him, you'll regret it."

"Deal." Nemesis grinned.

No- he shouldn't! He shouldn't go this far for me-

"OPTIMUS!" Arcee yelled.

Optimus turned back to the others as he was led to the ship. "We will come back."

I was led inside the ship with Optimus, I looked at him concerned. "I'm sorry, I should've been more careful-"

"It's not your fault." He placed a hand on my shoulder. "We will be fine, I assure you."

I smiled back at him, but I didn't feel any better. I turned to see the others as the doors closed, they looked terrified.

What were they going to do to us?
