Transformers Prime:The Lost Prime

Chapter Three:Shadowhunter

[Optimus's P.O.V(not really)]

Optimus felt that something was peculiar that day.

He could sense it in his spark,but just could not place it.

As he watched Lunar place the Autobot symbol on her left shoulder,he felt odd. There was something ringing in the Prime's mind,he just could not make it out.

Optimus had also realized that Smokescreen was respecting her more than the others. They always partnered up for missions. Something was not right.

Lunar had got up to go into the ground bridge that Ratchet opened. She transformed and raced off.

The ground bridge closed. Optimus was still working out what could be strange about Lunar.

"You're awfully quiet. What are you thinking about?"Ratchet's voice cut through his thoughts. He turned, only to see that his friend was staring at him.

"I have doubts about Lunar. She is quiet, and Smokescreen clings to her almost all the time. I wonder why...."Optimus replied as his optics narrowed in concentration.

"For a Cybertronian,she learns fast about Earth."Ratchet said,turning back to the computer.

"There is something odd that rings whenever she is close to me. Almost as if....."Optimus trailed off. It was impossible.

Ratchet jerked his helm up."Surely you don't mean that?They could have told you when they made you a Prime."

The two friends fell silent. Both were deep in thought.

:Ratchet!Decepticons in my coordinates!:The clear voice of Arcee rang throughout the base.

Optimus nodded to Ratchet as the medic opened the ground bridge. "Tell her that I am coming."Optimus said as he transformed.

(Lunar's P.O.V)

I came as quick as I could. My servo transformed into a gun and I began to shoot them.

The others did not know that they were not Decepticons,but other cons which are working for my arch enemy. I knew he was alive.

A beam of light grazed my shoulder. I winced in pain as Energon began to well up on the wound. Usually,I am stronger than that,but years of no fighting had taken its toll.

Then I saw him.

"Shadowhunter."I growled through gritted teeth. Optimus,who was beside me,turned to look at me.

Shadowhunter seemed to notice me before the others as he grinned evilly."What a pleasant surprise to see you here,Lunar."He said in a mock tone.

"Quit it,Shadowhunter. How did you come back to life when I clearly stabbed my sword through your spark?"I demanded,not caring if Optimus,Arcee,Bumblebee and Bulkhead were beside me.

Shadowhunter raised his servo for the bots to stop as he walked forward. I took the weapon behind my back and stiffly walked forward.

"That is a question not to be answered right now,"His gaze raked over the three Autobots behind me."looks like you have found your new friends."

"What is this,Lunar?"Arcee whispered,loud enough for me to hear.

I took in deep breaths and stood my ground in front of them."They are none of your concern,Shadowhunter."I said coolly.

"Really?Are they enthralled by the same story that you told anyone who knows you?"Shadowhunter smirked,knowing he had struck a nerve.

I stood frozen to my spot,and I could feel the Autobots stare at me through my back. Oh no....I realized, he knows.

"She is not an ordinary bot. She's a bot that has been hiding from anyone at anytime. Why do you think she had hid from you,when she could have just went straight to the Autobots the minute she landed on Earth?"Shadowhunter's unforgiving purple optics gleamed at the Autobots behind me. His gaze travelled back towards me as he said the four words.

Shadowhunter raised his voice."She is a Prime."
