Mysteries of a Prime

The energon phantom

Optimus P.O.V

"Optimus. I'm getting an energon signal." I heard Ratchet call, I walked over and tell him, "We cannot afford not to investigate, old friend." "Why isn't the signal masked?" Bumblebee asked. "Maybe it's the energon phantom, I heard of them in some of the our energon raids, Cons seemed real frightened." Arcee suggested. "Who is the energon phantom?" Bulkhead asked.

"The energon phantom is something that keeps on stealthily stealing energon from energon mines and if it is seen there are no survivors." Arcee explained. "Why don't we pay that mine a little visit and see for ourselves instead of listening to some stupid rumours!" Cliffjupper demanded. I felt that we did waste too much time on speaking so I asked Ratchet to open a groundbridge to the location.

Ratchet warned us as he set the coordinates of the mine, "look out, this mine is in Siberia, there will be a lot of snow and ice so remember that when your core temperature reaches the blue zone you need come back." I register what Ratched said and reassured him, "Don't worry, old friend, we will watch out for the cold climate." I turn back to my team and address them, "Autobots, roll out." And with that we all transformed and drove into the groundbridge.

(In Siberia)

As we drove out of the groundbridge we noticed a cave up ahead, "That must be the energon mine," Cliffjumper suggested. "Autobots, proceed with caution." I warned them. As we came closer to the mine I noticed that there were no guards at the entrance. As we went into the mine the saw what had become of the Vehicons; their energon was smeared onto the walls and ground, there were blasters hanging around with no body attached, but that wasn't even the worst part, all of the Vehicon's sparks were missing, "The energon is still fresh, who ever did this must still be nearby." Arcee informed us, "who knows maybe it's the energon phantom." Cliffjumper suggested with a playful ghostly voice. We take out our blasters because we suddenly heard a commotion deeper into the mine, "it seems this mine is still being raided," I inform my team.

As we went deeper into the mine we realised what the commotion was; Megatron, but he wasn't paying attention to us, he had all of his focus on a shadowy figure in the corner of the cave. We quickly realised this must be the energon phantom so we started firing at Megatron to distract him from the figure, "HEY, MEGAN!" I heard Cliffjumper suddenly yell at Megatron, as he turned to the voice disrespecting him like that he suddenly got hit on the side of his head, luckily, he was disoriented enough that the figure could run, unluckily, it hit his head spike so it wouldn't hurt him too bad. I saw the figure dash towards the exit and transformed into a MiG-31 Foxhound but they seemed quite unstable, giving Megatron enough time to shoot one of the engines right as they exited the mine, I heard them scream in pain as they started to spiral into the trees and I could have sworn it sounded like a femme.

(A few hours later)

We just finished beating Megatron up and he finally retreated, we took all of the energon available, we were relaxing until Bumblebee reminded us of something, "Hey what do you think happened to that mysterious figure, I heard them scream, you don't think they got hurt do you?" The energon drained from all of our faces as we realised we forgot about the phantom. I quickly told Ratchet to turn on the ground bridge and of coarse he was confused, "Why would you want to go back, didn't we get all the energon?" He asked and I explained to him, "We saw a strange figure in the mine, they were under attack from Megatron so we decided to help them, they were able to escape but not without Megatron blasting one of their engines, and I fear they are leaking out as we speak." Ratchet was, of course, shocked. "You're telling me that you saw another cybertronian and didn't tell me?" "Well Ratchet we were quite busy fighting the cons collecting all the energon available." Arcee snapped back. The two continued bickering and I could see Bulkhead and Cliffjumper watching the two like watching a human tennis game, their heads moving to the one speaking then turning to the other. "Enough, we have wasted to much time bickering with one another. Some bot could be leaking out and offline because we are here arguing, we will continue this after we make sure the mystery bot is online." Arcee said sternly.
