Lost Love - A Ratchet Love Story

Chapter Fifteen

His Life is in Your Hands and His Memories

~~~

"His spark seems to be failing! I would have to have his spark chamber open in order to see what's wrong since my holoform malfunctioned and that can only happen if he's awake! Anna! You need to climb inside towards his spark chamber. The two of you are close so his chamber will allow you to go through to his spark. You might have to get shrunk a little in order to fit.", Ratchet said, "I have a device that will do just that. It hasn't been used for quite some time."

Ratchet pulls a remote-like device out of a drawer and shrinks me about four feet.

"Whoa. I haven't been this tall since I was 4! This is so cool!", I grin.

"That should be enough. Now, since you are a lot smaller, you will be able to travel through his veins and spot leaks a lot easier. I will monitor things from out here. Go.", he set me on Optimus' chassis and I crawled into a hole, "His life is in your hands, Anna."

I nod, mostly to myself, and make my way to his spark chamber. I had my com link on my ear, a flashlight to see where I'm going, and medical tools to fix anything I come across. I followed the flow of the Energon and came upon a massive leak.

I quickly grabbed the battery powered welder and welded the wound shut. I gently traced it to make sure it would stay. When I was satisfied, I put the welder back and turned around.

"Whoa!", a blue antibody was floating behind me, "Hey. I'm friendly. I need to get to Optimus' spark to help him. Can you bring me there?"

The creature stared at me for a moment then swam away. At least, it looked like swimming. I stood up, grabbed the medical tools, and followed the antibody. Once we came up to a wall-like thing, the antibody took off in another direction.

Me, being the curious one of the bots, walked up to the wall and gently ran my human fingers across the smooth surface. Within seconds the area was lit up in an Energon blue. I removed my hand and gasped as the wall opened up revealing that it was actually a door.

The doors opened fully and Optimus' spark was revealed. I walked inside.

"JetBlaze, come here. Did you break carrier's datapad?", a femme with pink and white armor asked a young femme around 4 million years old with red armor that had small designs of white.

"I'm sorry, carrier! I didn't mean to! Storm and I were just playing and accidentally knocked it down!", the young femme that was apparently me said.

"We know, JetBlaze. Your carrier and I were just concerned that you might have gotten hurt from the broken glass.", a gentle voice said and need I say it didn't sound like Soundwave.

"I'm okay, sire. Can I go play now?", I asked.

"Of course.", the pink and white femme said and my small form ran down the hallway, "Orion do you think she's old enough now? She keeps bugging me about medical school. I think Ratchet might be a good mentor for her."

"She's still too young. I talked to Ratchet and he told me that she can't get in until she's 14 at the least.", Orion said, "Tomorrow is her creation day, Elita. Maybe we can get the medical team to come by or something."

"She'll love that.", Elita smiled, "Now, off to recharge. Jet! Time for recharge!"

"Okay! Night!", I called out.

I frowned. Orion and Elita were my parents? Then...how did Soundwave find me?

"Carrier! Sire! Help me!", my voice rang through the house.

"Elita! Elita, wake up! Someone is taking JetBlaze!", Orion said and the two ran downstairs.

"Let go of my femmeling!", Elita yelled.

"Help me!", I continued to cry out.

"Stop!", the mech holding me ordered making me freeze, "Your femmeling has been accepted as a test subject for an experiment. You have no say in this."

They pulled me away from Orion and Elita and were soon out of sight.

"Orion, they're going to kill her! They're going to kill our youngling! She won't be able to grow up and be the femme she wants to be!", Elita cried.

"We'll find her. Someday.", Orion hugged her.

So I was taken from them against their will. I didn't realize I was crying until something wet dripped onto my skin. I wiped my eyes.

"It's been 10 million years Orion and she hasn't turned up. I'm worried she's dead. What if we never find her?", Elita cried.

"We will. I'm not giving up and neither should you. I have to go drain the Dark Energon from the core and hopefully save Primus. I'll be back. I love you.", Orion said and took off.

Within moments he was at the core.

"I cannot be saved Orion Pax. It is too late for me. Take the matrix of leadership and lead a team of good to defeat the evil in this world.", Primus said and a bright light blinded him.

He woke up and looked in a mirror. I nearly fainted at who I seen. It was Optimus Prime. Orion Pax, my real sire, is Optimus Prime?!

"No wonder why I felt like I was communicating with that antibody. I'll have to get answers from Soundwave later.", I said to myself and checked on his spark.

Noting seemed out of the ordinary so I walked out of his spark chamber shocked at what I've seen. I spot an opening where I can get out and climb out. I nod to Ratchet, a sign that everything was okay.

"Alright. I've done a scan and it looks like he'll be out for another two hours or so. He'll wake up today.", Ratchet said and left, I leave soon after.

I head to the training room and spot Soundwave training.

"Uh, Soundwave? Can I talk to you?", I asked.

"Of course. What's wrong?", Soundwave asked.

"Well.....", I start.

This is going to be a long night.

😏 Another cliffhanger.
