Peacekeeper

Chapter 7: Kora's Truth

 Ratchet tried all he could to keep Kora stable. Though her only being a human did not helpd him any bit. The heart monitor Ratchet had hooked Kora up on flat-lined and Ratchet hung his head. "I'm sorry Kora." He said. Optimus rushed. He looked at Ratchet as he deactivated his holoform. "Ratchet?" Optimus asked. Ratchet closed eoptics and shook his helm. "I did all I could. She's only human." Ratchet told him. Tears fell faster down Optimus' face-plate. Ratchet gritted his teeth. 'Come on Kora. Wake up please. Please.' Ratchet thought. Arcee was comforting Optimus while Bulkhead was calming Bumblebee. Kora began to glow shocking everyone. "Kora?" Optimus whispered. The monitor started beeping again, only for the wires to have been ripped off Kora. The light had began to be too bright and the bots could not see. Though in a matter of seconds the light disappeared.

All the bots looked where Kora should have been. But instead there was a femme laying there. She had Optimus' looks, though more female. The blue had been a lot lighter and the red was brighter as well. Optimus' optics rushed with tears. He walked over to her. Ratchet started scaning her. "It's her." Optimus said. Ratchet nodded. "It is." Ratchet said. "Optimus, Ratchet?" Arcee asked. "I have a lot to explain." Optimus said. "But not know. You three get some rest." Optimus ordered. They nodded and went to their berthrooms. Optimus turned back to Ratchet. "How is she doing?" He asked. "Amazingly, she doing fine. Optimus, she's a techno-organic." Ratchet told him. Optimus nodded. He looked down at the femme. He closed his optics. Optimus felt Ratceht place one of his hands on his shoulder. Optimus looked at him. "Optimus, you need to get some rest. She could be awake in the morning, and there is much to much to explain to everbot." Ratchet told him. Optimus nodded and took one last look at her. 'I finally found you, my dear Kara.' He thought as he left Sick-bay. He walked to his berthroom and laid down on her his berthroom. He fell into a deep recharge.

Optimus' POV

I was walking into her room. My dear Kara's berthroom. I walked into her room and smiled at her. She looked over at me and smiled back at me. She was only a vorn old. I started walking over to her when I heard an explosion. I rushed over to Kara and covered. It hurt, but I was able to keep her safe. "Daddy!" Kara yelled and pointed to something, well, somebot. Megatron. "Kara. Stay behind me." I whispered to her. I stood up. "What is you want Megatron!" I yelled. "It's not obvious, I want you daughter Prime." He told me. This enraged me. I wouldn't let anybot take my precious Kara, no bot. Megatron fired at me, though I dodge and picked up my little Kara. "Daddy? Why is that mech after us?" Kara asked me. I couldn't tell her that her father was in a war. "I don't know." I lied to her. I was able to hide. Megatron passed us, looking for us. I was able to put Kara into a deep recharge.

I got to my base and Jazz looked at me. "Optimus?" He asked. He took on look at Kara and knew what had to be done. We both knew what had to be done. He brought me to the pod that was made for this situation. "I'll give you time, Prime." Jazz told me as he left. I looked down at the form in my arms. My own daughter. I had lost somebots before. I didn't want to lose her ether, but I had no choice. I placed her in the pod. I put the amulet around. I had made something special that would changer her into what ever planet she would land on. "I lover you Kara." I whispered to her as I placed a kiss on her small forehead. I closed the pod. Jazz walked back in. "Ready?" He asked. I sadly nodded. He pressed a button and the pod left. 'I hope one day I would see you again, my dear Kara.' I thought. I watched as the pod entered the bridge and it closed. Tears fell down my face-plate. "Prime?" Jazz asked. He patted my back. He knew this was not easy. It would be easy for anybot to do. I just lost the last member of my family. "KARA!" I yelled and I fell down to my knees.

Normal POV

Optimus woke up violently. He looked down. 'But know I have found you.' He thought he got out of his berth and left his berthroom. Arcee was walking towards him. "You're finally awake." She said. Optmius cocked his helm. "It's almost mid-day. We let you rest in late. You needed it." Arcee explained. Optimus only nodded. "Are you okay?" She asked. "Yes." Optimus said. Arcee nodded. "There somebot who wants to see you." Arcee smiled and crossed her servos. Optimus' optics widen, but he didn't say anything. He walked with Arcee to Sick-bay. Kora was sitting up, getting scaned by Ratchet. She looked over at Optimus. She had the most confused facial expression on her face-plate. Optimus smiled, relief filling him. "Optimus." Kora said, her voice a little sketchy. "Yes." Optimus said walking over to her. "what happened? I don't remember, and Ratchet won't tell me." Kora told him. Optimus gave a confused looked at Ratchet. "I thought it would have been best if you had explained it, knowing you're......" Ratchet stopped talking. Kora looked between the two. "And one other thing, how did I become like one of you guys?" Kora asked, looking at herself. Optimus let out a deep sigh. "Can Kora and me have a moment?" Optimus asked. The bots nodded and left. Optimus sat on the edge of the berth. "Optimus?" Kora asked sitting next to him.

"You wouldn't remember." Optimus said. Kora looked at him. "Remember what?" She asked. She was confused over what was all going on. "Vorns ago, I had sent somebot away to keep her safe." Optimus started to explain as he looked at the ceiling. Kora looked at him, but didn't say anything. "That femme was you." Optimus further explained looking down at his hands. Kora looked surprised. "But...." Optimus put his hand up. "Please, let me finish." Optimus asked. Kora nodded. "We were attacked by Megatron in our housing unit. I had no other choice to to send you away. He was after you. He had already gotten to two people I cared about." Optimus told her. He closed his optics. He thought she would have gotten mad, but to his surprised, she hugged him. Optimus looked at her, tears falling down her face. "I never really had a father." Kora said. Optimus smiled. "Well, now you do." He said. He hugged her back, tightly. Kora hugged him tighter. "Optimus?" She asked and looked up at him. "You don't have to call me that." He told her, his smile wide. "Okay, Dad. What's my real name?" Kora asked. Optimus never thought she would ask him that. He held her chin, and she smiled. "It's Kara. Your real name is Kara." Optimus told her. She smiled bigger and hugged Optimus tighter.

She rested her helm on his chest. "I remember now." Kora said. Optimus looked at her, but smiled. He held her tighter. "I've missed you. You have no idea." Optimus told her. "And I've missed you too Dad." Kora told him. They sat there, holding onto each other. "Hey Daddy?" Kora asked. "Yes." Optimus said. "Is Uncle Jazz still alive?" She asked. Optimus rested his helm on her's. "Yes. Jazz is still alive." Her told her.

Ratchet walked in. "I hope I not intruding." He said. Kora looked at him. She shook her helm. Ratchet smiled. Kora stood up and looked at him, remembering. She ran up to him and hugged him. Ratchet was surprised, then smiled. "I missed you Uncle Ratchet." Kora told him. "I know you have young one." Ratchet told her, patting her helm. Optimus stood up. "It's time to tell the others." He said. Kora let go of Ratchet and nodded. Ratchet nodded as well. They walked into the foyer. "Optimus?" Arcee asked standing straight. He nodded. Bumblebee and Bulkhead joined. The two looked at Kora. "Arcee, Bumlbebee, Bulkhead." Optimus took a deep breath in. "I would like you to meet my daughter, Kara." Optimus motioned to Kora. They all looked surprised. "Hello again." Kora said waving at them and smiled. "Optimus, are you saying Kora is you daughter!?" Bulkhead asked, the most surprised out of all of them. "Yes. That is what i'm saying." Optimus told him. Kora chuckled. Ratchet just shook his helm. "It's a long story." Kora told them. They just looked at her, they didn't know what to say. "A really long one." Kora said. Optimus shook his helm, but smiled. Ratchet just patted her helm. Arcee walked up to her. "Welcome to the family." She said. "Glad to be a part of it." Kora said. To Kora's amazement, Arcee gave her a hug. Bumblebee joined in, then Bulkhead. Optimus smiled at them.

Ratchet let out a sigh and placed his hands on his hips. Kora never felt more at home before.
