Transformers Prime: The Prime and The Girl

Chapter 6: Missing (Day 1)

At the base:

Ratchet remained by the unconscious Optimus's side checking to see if he had been showing any signs of improvement after he was harmed by Megatron. There were signs of improvement in Optimus but he still had yet to awaken from being in stasis for a whole week. Every day and night, Ratchet remained by his old friend's side hoping and praying that Optimus's optics will open soon or that he would make a sound come out of his mouth. Then the medic heard his name being weakly called out. "Rat...chet." Ratchet turned around to see Optimus looking up at him with a precious but weak smile on his faceplate. "Oh Optimus, thank Primus you're alive. It's good to see you come back to us Optimus," said Ratchet with a soft smile on his faceplate and he placed his left servo on Optimus's right shoulder. Optimus smiled weakly at him. "How long was I in stasis for Ratchet?" he asked the medic. "Almost a whole week Optimus. That laser beam left a big, gaping hole in your stomach and you lost a lot of energon. Luckily, we had enough energon to put it back into your systems and you showed signs of improvement everyday. But THIS is a HUGE improvement Optimus. Welcome back," said Ratchet. "Thank you old friend," said Optimus. Then everyone came into the room to greet their leader. However, the only person that wasn't there to greet her guardian was Emily. "Where is Emily? Is she alright?" asked a very worried Optimus. Arcee sighed and said,"They have her Optimus." "Megatron and the decepticons kidnapped her," said Bulkhead. "Now she's probably with them on the Nemesis," said Smokescreen. "Being held prisoner," Bumblebee beeped sadly. Optimus's optics saddened and his spark sank when he heard about the female human that he was close friends with was now with his arch enemy. He began to worry that something terrible might've happened to Emily. "Autobots, we must get Emily and bring her back here safely to us," said Optimus as he attempted to get up but Ratchet pushed him gently back down on the medical berth that he was laying. "Ep, ep, ep. Easy Optimus. You're not going anywhere. Not in the state that you're in Optimus," said Ratchet. "Don't worry Optimus. We'll get Emily and bring her back here to the base. This we vow with all our sparks," said Arcee as she, Bulkhead, Smokescreen and Bumblebee placed their right servos over their chassis. Optimus smiled and said,"Thank you. All of you. But please, be careful and be on the look out for Megatron and the decepticons." The other autobots nodded their helms and Ratchet activated the ground bridge and off all four of them went to rescue Emily. Optimus then sat up slowly and Ratchet immediately went to his leader's left side and helped him get to his pedes. Jeremy, Jack, Miko, Raf and Jeremy's dad Agent Fowler had concerned looks on their faces and Agent Fowler looked at the Prime and said,"Will you be alright Prime?" "In time I will be Agent Fowler," said Optimus and him and Ratchet began to make their way to Optimus's berth room. Ratchet then gently set Optimus down on his berth and Optimus laid down on it and pulled the tarp over his body and he looked at the medic and smiled at Ratchet. Ratchet smiled in return and said,"Now get some rest Optimus. I will let you know when they have her alright. We will get Emily back. I promise." "Thank you Ratchet," Optimus said softly with a smile on his faceplate. Ratchet smiled, nodded his helm and then left his room. Optimus then laid down on his back strut, closed his optics and went into a deep recharge.

On the Nemesis (Emily's POV)

"Welcome to your new home human. We hope you feel comfortable here on the Nemesis. Here is your new room. Make yourself comfortable," said Megatron and he put me down on the ground. I looked up at that ugly monster and gave him a menacing glare and said,"You will not keep me here forever Megatron. They will come for me. They will," I snapped at him. Megatron just chuckled evilly and said,"You really think that he still lives don't you Emily. He's not coming to rescue you. He's DEAD. He really is DEAD." "He's not dead. I know that Optimus is still alive. And I know that they're coming for me. The autobots will be here to come and take me. They will be," I said and I spat in his face. That enraged Megatron and used his digits and with one flick, he sent me flying across the cell room. I landed awkwardly on my right foot and sprained my ankle. I cried out in pain and grabbed my ankle and looked up at Megatron glaring at him. "Who's the strong one now?" he said while looking at me right in the eye. "If you ever give me an attitude again, I will terminate you," he said and then left my cell. I leaned on a wall in my cell and buried my face in my hands and cried. I wasn't crying because of my ankle. I was crying because I was scared for my life. "I wish I wasn't here. I wish I was back at the base with Optimus, Ratchet, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bee, Smokescreen, my other human friends and my two favorite animal friends. I wish I could be there to help Optimus. I wish.....I could tell him how I feel about him. Looks like it's not going to happen because.....I'm going to die here," I said and then I started to feel tired and then went to sleep.

Dream:

"Where...where am I?" I asked myself as I got up and then stretched. I looked down to see my feet buried in...sand. I looked up to see that I was at a beautiful island with the ocean surrounding it and I smiled and sighed warmly. "Looks like I'm not on the Nemesis or in Jasper anymore," I said to myself. "You're not the only one Emily." I turned around to see Optimus sitting down looking at me with a smile on his face. "Optimus," I screamed and ran towards him. I jumped onto his left servo and he lifted me up to his faceplate and we both smiled and I gave him a hug. "You're alive. You're alive," I said softly with tears streaming down my face. "Shhhh. It's ok. I am alive Emily. I am alive," he said. I then let go of his faceplate and we both looked at each other. "Um Optimus. There's something that I've been wanting to tell you for quite some time," I said. "Yes? What is it Emily?" asked Optimus kindly. I sighed and said,"Ok. This is going to sound a little weird but I honestly really, really, really, really, really like you a lot Optimus. And I mean that I like you more than just as a friend. There, I said it." Optimus looked at me with wide optics. "Emily, I-" "Go ahead Optimus. Say it. Say that you don't feel the same about me. I understand completely," I said cutting him off and looking down at his servo shamefully. However, he put one of his right digits under my chin and lifted my head up to face him. He smiled and gently planted a kiss on my forehead and said,"I really like you too Emily. And I mean more than just a friend." I smiled and hugged his faceplate and kissed his cheek.

End of dream.

I slept peacefully and smiled big.
