Transformers Prime: Rise of Ayla

Darkness Rising Part 5

Previously on Transformers Prime...

Bravo, Optimus.
You may wish to save your strength for the main event.
We need to find Fowler and get this kids out of here.
It's your fault that we're stuck in this intensity.
What were you thinking, Miko? I know math when I see it.
And that is one serious equation.
Well, if this was just an average day with the Autobots then I don't wanna be a part of it.
Your mindless agenda resulted in the disassembling of our ship! And the delay of our plans! Megatron is building a Space Bridge to bring through his conquering army.
But the only place Megatron could recruit that many fallen warriors... Precisely... Cybertron.

At the Autobot Base: Optimus' POV

"We cannot allow Megatron, nor Ayla, to send Dark Energon through their Space Bridge. If we fail, the dead of Cybertron will rise. Swarm through its vortex and invade Earth. Bending human kind to Ayla's Megatron's twisted rule." I said.

At KO Burger: Jack's POV

"Nice bike." Arcee said.

"Arcee, really. Miko already tried. Tell Optimus I respect him big time, but if you're at war with the Decepticons there's nothing I can do to help." I told her.

"Optimus didn't send me, and no one's asking for your help." she told me.

"OK, so, if we both agree that I'm not warrior material..." I trailed off.

"Jack, I just lost someone I cared about maybe it's the grief talking, maybe you're growing on me. Whatever it is I'm just not ready to say good-bye." Arcee explained.

Back at the Autobot Base: Ratchet's POV

"Optimus, I've pinpointed the location of Megatron's Space Bridge. High in Earth's orbit. Out of our reach." I told him.

"Okay, so you guys don't fly, but can't you just Groundbridge there?" Asked Miko.

"The Ground Bridge has limited range. Stretch all the way into orbit its vortex could snap. And scatter us to the stars." I explained.

"Since Megatron is likely already in transit, I'm afraid we must take that risk. Reaching the Space Bridge first is our only means of stopping him." Optimus told us.

"Hey, guess who's back!" Jack stated.

"Autobots, prepare for departure." he ordered.

"Where to?" Arcee asked.

"The final frontier." Miko stated, amazed.

"Space? I thought they didn't have any way to get there." Jack said, shocked.

"They don't, really." Raf stated.

"Be seen you?" Jack asked Arcee.

"Be careful, 'Bee." Raf said.

"I'm so jealous!" Miko stated.

"Don't even think about following me." Bulkhead said, with a warning tone.

"Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teaming with humans, I will never forgive you." I told him.

"Until we meet again, old friend. Autobots, roll out!" Optimus said.

In Groundbridge: Optimus' POV

"Maximum overdrive! Autobots, transform and gravitize." I ordered.

"Don't look down.

Or up.

Or left." Bulkhead said, terrified.

"So Megatron's packing enough Dark Energon to raise Cybertron's dead?" Arcee asked.
