Raf's New Family :: Rewriting::

Cybertron's New Leader?

Ok, ok, I know I said that the last chapter was the last but I recently got an idea for another one. So, here it goes.

1st person POV

Optimus sighed as he sat on his berth. Cybertron was restored, he had his family back. Sort of. Someone was still missing, but where are they?

Unknown POV

"AH!", I yelled as I was launched forward, "I thought this guy was dead!"

"Uh, sorry, commander.", I narrowed my eyes at my right hand bot.

"Get out there and FIX IT!", I ordered.

"Yes, commander. Jacket, Starflight, let's go!", the three of them ran out to the guns.

"Skull! Send out a distress signal to Cybertron HQ. We need backup, the ship can't take much more damage.", I told my surveillance chief.

She nodded and got to work. Skull doesn't talk much but she is extremely good at fighting. I glanced over at her. She's been through so much pain and suffering. Her brother joined the cons, her parents were terminated, I could go on. I love hearing her voice though.

"Prime, I'm getting a video feed from HQ. Shall I accept?", Skull asked.

"Yes. Tell them we are under attack by Starscream and Airachnid. We we need backup immediately!", I yelled as I dogged heavy fire.

As Skull talked to HQ, I felt that something didn't fit right with me. I set the ship on autopilot and headed toward the guns. The ship rocked forward slightly causing me to get slowed down for a moment. I stood up and ran the rest of the way. I made my way to my commander.

"Rocket? What's going on?", I asked, no response, "Rocket?"

I looked into his eyes. NO! He's gone! I ran toward Jacket to make sure she was alright.

"Miss Prime. Thank Primus. Rocket and Starflight are offline. One of the drones shot toward them and managed to break the glass before I shot him down. It's my fault. If I hadn't waited to shoot it they'd still be here. I'm sorry, Miss Prime but I need to turn in my weapons.", Jacket took her sword off her back and handed it to me, "I'm sorry I failed."

"Jacket, this isn't like the Decepticon ranks. If you fail, it's no big deal. Had you shot that drone earlier, we would still have lost our fellow comrades. You are still on the team. You are an Autobot now, forget your past with the Decepticons. None of it matters.", I handed her back the sword, "Now, I need you to give it all you've got. Focus your anger on the drones. I'm going out there to get Starscream."

I left the cockpit and headed to the command center. Once there, I turned off the autopilot and grabbed a few grenades. You never know when you'll need them. I jumped out of the ship, knowing I left it in good servos. I flew over to Starscream and glared at him. He glared back and smirked.

"Now, Prime, you will die.", I held tighter onto my small gun. Something tells me, I might not survive this.
