My Crazy Robotic Family

My Hero Scout

Soon after I tell Ratchet about Optimus, we hear the voices of Starscream and Knockout from Arcee's com link. They are trying to convince the silent decepticon, Soundwave, to agree to cut Megatron's life support.

"If Megatron perishes, Bumblebee's mind will remain separated from his body  forever." Ratchet noted.

"We'll loose Optimus and Bumblebee?" Jack yelled.

"No, Jack! You can't talk like that! Bee can do this! I know he can!" I yell and get to the com link myself so I can talk to Bee myself.

"Bumblebee, listen to me, you can do this! We all have faith in you, we know you would do anything to save Optimus! This has to be done now! We can't wait any longer! we've run out of time! Do whatever you have to do to get that cure and we can disconnect you from here!" I yell into his link. He obviously can't respond to me because of Megatron, but I know he got the message.

"What happened to me?!" Megatron screamed at Bumblebee. The sight is slightly shaking, so we can tell that Bumblebee is still slightly shaking in fear of Megatron. "The space bridge explosion!" Megatron realized for himself.

"But yet, if you're in my head, then I am not one with the Allspark. So, tell me scout, do I still function?"

"It's now or never Bee, do something!" I yell.

"We need the cure for cybonic plague." Bee beeped to Megatron.

"Cybonic plague? Someone besides myself is unwell?" Megatron asked confused, then realization crossed his features. "Of course, Optimus!" Megatron starts to laugh loudly and threw his arms back.

"Such Irony! that after ages of endless battle, the mighty Optimus Prime is felled by a simple virus from the distant past!" He looks to Bumblebee. "What makes you think I would save the life of my oldest enemy?" Megatron asks him.

"Because if you don't, you'll never achieve the one thing that you desire most." Bee whirred and pointed at Megatron.

"Oh? And just what is it I desire most, scout?" Megatron asks with an evil grin.

"To watch the life leave Optimus's eyes for yourself." Bumblebee answered. I widened my eyes in shock, that is ingenious! I'm almost filled with pride that Bumblebee had developed that idea on his own.

"Did you not see? I do slay Optimus by my own hand whenever I desire!" Megatron replied.

"That's not the real Optimus. If you let the cybonic plague end him, you'll never get the chance to do it yourself!" Bee beeped and glared t Megatron. Raph relayed the message to Miko and Jack.

"Smart." Jack commented.

"Twisted." Miko added with a smile.

"Hmm. After our deep history together, to not watch the spark ebb from Optimus's eyes with my very own-" Megatron trailed off.

"This is your only chance to make that happen!" Bee beeped.

"Well played, scout." Megatron mumbled and displayed a cube with cybertronian symbols on it. "This is the chemical formula for the cure you seek, not that I expect you know how to read it."

"Ratchet, can't you pause it and get the cure just from that?" I asked him quickly. He nodded and back tracked to get to the most clear point.

"Arcee, we have the cure! Disconnect Bumblebee, now!" Ratchet screamed. The screen was starting to disappear, more like stoically fade.

"You were watching!" Megatron realized. "You tricked me! Take me with you!" Megatron screamed as Bumblebee's consciousness fades back into his own mind.
