Family (Tramsformers Prime fanfic)

Alive

---General POV---

    Starblade fell to the ground, asleep.

    "Megatron!" Optimus yelled at the top of his vocalizer. He charged at Megatron, but before he even got close, Megatron had already gone. He transformed into his vehicle mode and flew off. Optimus quickly called back to base.

    "Ratchet, we need a ground bridge. We found a survivor. Prepare the sick bay." Optimus transmitted. And soon, a ground bridge opened in front of him. He strode over to where Starblade lay, and gently picked her up in his arms. He remembered the great times with her when she was just a sparkling.

*flashback*

    "Look what I made!" She yelled excitedly, holding up a round smooth rock wrapped in wires held by a chain.

    "What is it?" Optimus asked, taking on a playful tone.

    "It's a necklace you dummy." She retorted. "I'm gonna wear this all the time."

    "Why's that?"

    "Because I want to." She said with a smile. And she barely took it off, it would be a rare sight to see her parting with it.

*flashback end*

    Bulkhead and Arcee entered the ground bridge, leaving Optimus to follow. He hesitated for a sec, looking at down at her beautiful face. How is she... Alive? He wondered to him self. Finally, Optimus carried Starblade through the blazing colorful doorway.

"By the Allspark..." Ratchet said as Optimus entered the base. While Miko, looking up from her phone, ran to the railing, followed by Raf and Jack.

"Woah, what happened?" She asked, looking at the unconscious femme.

    "Megatron got there before us." Optimus replied plainly, setting Starblade down on the medical bay.

"Optimus... You told me she was..." Ratchet looked shocked like no one has ever seen before.

"I presumed so too, Ratchet." Ratchet immediately got to work and Optimus left the room.

    "Wait, You know her?" Jack asked Ratchet.

    "Yes, she is, Optimus' adopted daughter." He said in a lower voice, almost a mumble.

*flashback*

    The two Autobots were shoved to their knees as the Decepticon seeker towered above them. Two Vehicons holding them down each.

    "What do we have here? The leader of the Autobots, and his trusty sidekick? How convenient." Starscream earned a death glare from the white and light blue femme Autobot.

    "What do you want?"  The red and blue mech said in a deep monotone voice.

    "What Decepticon wouldn't want to capture the Powerful Optimus Prime?" Starscream said the last part in disgust.

    "Although, I think I'll give you a chance to save one of you." He paused, Grinning maliciously. "But you'll have to fight me to the death, to save the other."

"I will do it." Optimus announced without hesitation. And the femme tensed visibly.

"Wait, I'll fight him." She turned to Optimus. "I can't risk you dying Optimus. The Autobots need you. I don't matter as much as you do. Anyway, It'll be an easy fight." She muttered 'hopefully' under her breath so that not even Optimus could hear her.
