The Forgotten One (Transformers Prime fanfiction)

Chapter 7

We got a message from Starscream for Ratchet. He said, "I have obtained information regarding your leader. Bring medical kit. Come alone."

Ratchet had decided to ignore that and bring me and Bulk along since I didn't have anything to do.

Sapphire was in charge of the ground bridge.

We walked through the ground bridge to the coordinates Starscream had sent and found him leaking energon.

"I told you to come alone!", Starscream yelled.

"Like that was gonna happen, Starscream", I retorted.

"Where is Optimus?", Ratchet asks.

"Patch me up and perhaps I shall tell you."

We looked at each other and did nothing.

"Have sympathy. I'm leaking here", Starscream said.

"Then I suggest that you speak quickly", Ratchet says, "Has Optimus been harmed in any way?!"

"He's fine. Fine! Can't you see I'm the one who's been harmed?"

"Where is he?!", Bulk asks.

"Where do you think? He's on Megatron's warship."

"Where is located where?", I asked.

"Now? Who knows? It's a ship. It moves", Starscream answers, "it took me months to track, only to get fired upon."

"You wouldn't go to the trouble of calling me here unless you had information. Real information", Ratchrt says.

Starscream sighs and says, "Very well. Your beloved leader may have lost his senses. He goes by Orion Pax now, and it seems Megatron has led him to believe he's a Decepticon."

"We already know that, Starscream", I practically shouted at him.

"Woah. Someone's got a temper", Starscream says, "Anyway, how could you possibly know that?!"

"Ratchet, we're wasting our time", I said. Ratchet only nodded and we turned to go back through the ground bridge.

"Wait. That's all I have. Really! You can't just leave me like this!", Starscream shrieks.

"Oh I think we can", I growled.

Ratchet looks at me to quiet me and turns to face Starscream.

"Unless you can tell me where Megatron's hiding his space bridge, you can stay here and rust", Bulk says.

Starscream gasps. "Space bridge? Do you mean to tell me that they actually finished building it without my supervision?!"

He had finally got our attention and he laughed when he realized that.

"It hurts most right here, doctor", he said.

Ratchet patched him and then we left.

*time skip*

Ratchet showed us where the space bridge was, deep within an energon mine. Arcee realized that they cleverly put next to a raw fuel supply. But then she asked a question we had hoped she would not.

"What's our intel?"

"A... reliable source", Ratchet said after sharing a glance with me and Bulk. Arcee glared at him slightly.

Ratchet then turned to the humans.

"Do we have a consensus?", he asked.

"Do we even know if people can even breathe you atmosphere?", June asks.
