If Lockdown wanted Vengeance

Choices

~Optimus~

Predaking and I traveled through the portal within the ship below the surface. We must find Sky before the Decepticons know that we're here, this shouldn't take too long. Predaking started to lean towards the left corridor while I went for the right, if we split up we should find her faster.

As he went his own way, I see that I'm headed back to where Sky's family was held captive. Maybe they took her there, but they must've noticed her helm injury. Medbay would be another place to look, if there is one.

"Here for your sparkmate, Prime?" I heard Lockdown's voice behind me.

But the question is, which one is it? I turned around while holding my gun towards his spark, I notice that it's the Lockdown from our dimension. His optics are back to green, not the purple they once were. Either Lockdown is enough trouble as it is, it's only a certain amount of time until the other Decepticons show up.

"Where is she?" I ask with a serious tone.

"Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. I can't believe that I'm saying this to you of all others, but...." He looked around for anyone coming, "I need your help."

My optics widen a little at Lockdown's response. What would he need my assistance with? But if he's asking me for help, something must be seriously wrong.

"What do you need me to help you with?" I keep my weapon aimed in case he makes a move.

"The Creators, they did something to me. I go into a state where I can't control myself nor remember what happened during that time. It's damn near impossible to fight it, but it's not doing anything right now. If you can assist me, I'll assist you in getting Sky back." Lockdown said in a hushed tone.

~Sky~

"But Ruby, they never were Sapphires creations. They were real Cybertronians, 4 of them are still alive and they want to use me to take back this planet!" I told Ruby.

Ruby looked rather surprised. Oh....I realize what I just said.

"They want to use you? How so? Don't lie to me." Ruby crossed her arms and sat down.

There ain't no point in lying to her, might as well fess up.

"Okay...I have powers. I unlocked 5 out of 6 of them, the one I haven't achieved is levitation. The Fallen was holding me captive in his base, waiting for my head injury to heal. Even though he's the one who caused it, it gave me amnesia." I confessed.

Ruby looked rather intrigued. She took my hand and looked it over. Well, this is awkward... She seemed to be looking for something almost, the only thing I see is my tannish skin.

"Um, Ruby? What exactly are you doing?" I ask.

"You have dimension travel, teleportation, flight, memory altering, telekinesis and levitation abilities. Levitation will only be unlocked when you find your purpose in life." Ruby looked from my hand to me.

What the??? How did she just..?? She just looked at my hand and now she knows my abilities?? Okay, who exactly is Ruby?

"You what...how did you-" Ruby shushed me.

"I'm not the average Cybertronian, dear. I have one simple question, do you really wish to look almost exactly like Optimus?" Ruby asked.

Are you serious? She knows what I look like too? I happen to like how I look, and so does Optimus. I don't see why she would ask this kind of question.

"What's wrong with my current appearance in Cybertronian form?" I crossed my arms.

"Not to be rude, but you look like a female version of him. Your human face shows and it doesn't set the appearance of a true Cybertronian, it just doesn't look right." Said Ruby.

"But everyone else likes how I look, including myself." I argued.

"I'll give you a choice; You can stay the way you are and possibly be captured by my sister instead of Optimus, or you can allow me to redesign you a new form to make you look more Cybertronian than human." Ruby crossed her arms.

I think about it. I like my current form, so does Optimus. But I will admit that we look like twins and that just makes it awkward, and Ruby's sister could easily mistake me for Optimus...maybe it is best to redesign my form. I just hope that Optimus likes the new form that Ruby designs...

"...okay. I think a new form would be a good idea. But don't make it TOO different, please." I say.

"Don't worry, just different enough to differentiate between you and your sparkmate. Come with me." Ruby got up and started hovering out the door, I got up of the berth and followed her out of the medbay.

The corridors are more like alienish hallways of a hospital or laboratory. The walls are sterling silver with Cybertronian symbols carved into the walls. There were rooms with names above their doors like 'Exam room', 'Chemical compound unit' and many more.

Well now I'm just confused. Is this place a hospital, laboratory or WHAT??? Ruby suddenly turned left into a room named 'The Creator's laboratory', that's comforting. Not really. I followed her in and the door closed behind me.

I saw multiple tools like what I saw in a nightmare a while back. The one with Tarn, Tesaurus and Kaon, they were blackened by the shadows and started experimenting on me. I swallow nervously as I continued to follow Ruby.

"Uh...I don't think I want to do this anymore. I like the way I am now, bye!" I turned to run.

But Ruby grabbed my wrist, "Too late now. I have much experience with this technology, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Now I'm really nervous.

~Optimus~

I haven't seen Predaking for quite some time, I hope nothing bad has happened to him. Lockdown had gone another way to help avoid suspicion, but I don't know where I am now. I heard a female chuckle behind me, it sounded very familiar. I turned around, by the Allspark...

It's her. My Creator. I recognize her anywhere. Her glowing blue fleshed parts, everything about her I remember. She hovers above the floor, only yards away from me, a devilish smile on her faceplates.

"Optimus Prime, so this is where you came to. This alternate dimension where we supposedly don't exist." She said while coming closer.

I took out my weapon, "What are you doing here?"

"I came here looking for you, obviously. But now I hear of another Prime, and she's your sparkmate." My Creator continued.

She knows about Sky. The three imposters must have told her about my sparkmate, either them or the Decepticons who reside here. I ready my weapon.

"I will never tell you where she is, not for anything." I aim my weapon at her.

"You're simply stating the obvious, Optimus. I may not know exactly who she is, but you will help lure her here." My Creator said as she came closer.

That was the last thing I remember before electricity jolted throughout my frame.
