Dark Resurgence Part 2

Hiiiiiii, I'm back baby. Little interlude for you while the big battle rampes up lol. Also a song cause I feel like it (not important to the story). Much love bye!

POV Optimus

I instructed Soundwave to monitor Megatron's whereabouts. Any attempt to threaten him may cause unforeseen damage. Meanwhile, I headed to the lab to find Shockwave, Ratchet, and Knockout.

"What progress have you made?" I asked, attempting to conceal the anxiety in my voice. Despite my efforts to stay focused on the mission and keep my emotions in check, my closeness to Megatron made it challenging to separate my mind from my feelings. What if they couldn't find a solution? What if I lost the love of my life? The thought of being without him was unbearable.

"We have a couple of options. Using a stasis beam would be the quickest solution. We could immobilize him and further study possible remedies," Shockwave answered.

"We may not have the luxury of time," Knockout added. "Although Megatron has developed some immunity to dark energon, it's not absolute. With this new influx of dark energon, his system could be pushed to complete failure."

My spark sank at the realization. Even if we could temporarily put him in stasis, the idea that it might not be enough time to save him weighed heavily on me. While I knew I could survive without Megatron, now that I had grown so close to him, I couldn't imagine existing without him and his presence.

"Additionally, we must consider the possibility that Unicron has merged with Megatron's mind. Simply removing his physical form may not free him from Unicron's influence," Ratchet grimly pointed out.

I absorbed the information and contemplated various scenarios and potential solutions. I had to find a way to free Megatron from Unicron's grasp without causing him harm or losing him. Our life together had only begun, and I refused to let it end. I would fight with every fiber of my being to ensure Megatron returned to my side.

"What if we combined the solutions? Could a cortical psychic patch work if the bot is in stasis?" I suggested, seeking their expert opinion.

After a moment of silence, Shockwave responded, "The stasis beam would require modification, as would the cortical psychic patch."

"Unicron may also have the ability to influence the recipient's mind. However, if the other bot is purely energon, the risk should be minimal," Knockout added. "Now we just need a way to extract all that energy from Megatron."

"I think I have a solution," Ratchet declared as he turned to his console and started typing. After a moment, he revealed a containment unit similar to the unit the Allspark uses.

As we gathered around to examine it, Ratchet explained, "If this case can contain the full power of the Allspark, it should be able to hold Unicron's energy as well."

"We will need to synthesize the proper materials to create such a device, doctor," Shockwave interjected.

"I have a plan for that, Shockwave," Ratchet retorted with certainty.

"Let's stay focused. A life hangs in the balance, and so does our planet," I reminded them, trying to maintain a firm but gentle tone.

Briefly, Ratchet and Shockwave set aside their differences and looked towards me before quickly returning to their tasks.

"I'll start modifying the stasis beam. I find it fascinating and I'm confident I can make it work," Knockout stated, earning my approval.

As Ratchet proceeded with the energy containment unit and Shockwave worked on the cortical psychic patch, I urged them to work as quickly as possible, emphasizing our uncertain time.Later, I received a message to head up to the bridge. I found Arcee and Soundwave huddled over the console, their expressions grave.

"What did you want to discuss?" I inquired, noting the seriousness in Arcee's optics.

"Megatron has raided an old Decepticon supply cache. It was filled with a significant amount of dark energon. We suspect he plans to raise the dead once again," Arcee informed me, her voice filled with gravity.

"How does he intend to do that? Megatron previously resurrected Cybertron's dead, and now they are no more," I interjected, feeling the weight of the situation.

Soundwave turned to me and flashed various pictures of Predacon grave sites. It suddenly clicked. Unicron's insidious plan became clear - he would raise an army of undead Predacons to unleash chaos and conquer Cybertron.

Realizing the grave threat we faced, I rallied the Autobots and Decepticons to take action. "We must intercept Unicron and thwart his dark designs. If he gains control of those Predacons, Cybertron's very existence is at risk. Autobots, Decepticons, transform and roll out!"
