Transformers Prime *The Decepticon Femme* Optimus Love Story

CH. 18 Flying Mind

Halo POV

It's been about a month since Optimus returned and NightWave vanished. I disagreed with the majority's opinion that she had simply returned to the Decepticon. NightWave and I had been close for a very long time, and I absolutely knew that she would never go back to the Decepticons. I really do miss her. My frequency of panic attacks had increased compared to before. Every time I have one at night, I've tried relaxing using NightWave's voice recording on my phone, but for some reason, it didn't feel the same. I felt so scared, and I had no one with whom to discuss this.

"But when the Insecticons suddenly backed off, I was inspired by my proximity to the power core and did what I do best" Bulkhead recalled, pounding his fist into his hand while Miko cheered below.

"You trashed Megatron's ride like a rock star in a hotel room" Miko said.

"We should hit the cons right now while they're vulnerable" Arcee said.

"Megatron's warship may be grounded" Ratchet called from the computer screen. "But let's not forget that we remain vastly outnumbered, especially since he has added the Insecticon hive to his ranks."

"Then maybe it's time for me to call in an air strike" Agent Fowler stepped forward.

"Or for us to consider more extreme measures, Agent Fowler" Optimus said. He then made his way down the hallway as Ratchet followed, no word or anything was said as they walked away.

"Extreme measures? Meaning?" Fowler asked. Everybody shrugged. Finally, Optimus and Ratchet came back, with Optimus wielding the spark extractor in his hand.

'I see, so this is the extreme measure he was talking about' I thought. Funny, I didn't think Optimus was the kind of bot to even consider something like that.

"Hey, what is that?" Fowler asked.

"Well, that, Agent Fowler, is the spark extractor. Capable of extracting every spark within its radius" I explained.

"I see, it sounds dangerous, and how are you going to deploy it?" Fowler asked Optimus.

"Be assured, I already have a strategy" He replied. Suddenly, the computer beeped, and Ratchet moved to check it out.

"Optimus, I'm detecting a massive energy spike at the Decepticon crash site. It appears to be Dark Energon" Ratchet spoke up while facing all of us. Everyone looked at each other before Optimus nodded firmly.

"Autobots, transform and roll out!" Optimus ordered, and we all watched the team transform and drive off into the Groundbridge. Optimus was about to begin his accent, but was stopped by Agent Fowler.

"Hold on, Prime" Fowler called, getting his attention.

"If you are gonna deploy some kind of super weapon in the final showdown with the Cons, it's my job as a representative of planet Earth to bear witness" Agent Fowler said.

I watched Ratchet and Optimus exchange glances before he transformed and opened his door. Soon, we all watched them go inside the Groundbridge and disappear.

*TIME SKIP*

As we all watched the Autobot go through the Groundbridge all except Ratchet, of course. It didn't take long before we all got a call from Agent Fowler, "::Team's down. Requesting medevac::"

Immediately, Ratchet carried all the bots in, their eyes were open but they looked like they were frozen solid.

"They're alive, but I've never encountered this form of stasis lock" Ratchet hummed, checking the Autobots vitals on the monitors. I was currently standing on the platform, watching everything.
