Guardian For Life

Chapter 13

Hey, guys. Sorry about the wait. Because this book is at an end, I will be publishing the epilogue as well.

I watched as Megatron punched Optimus over the edge. He hadn't seen me yet. I fired three shots at Megatron and he smirked. The shots bounced off his blade and toward Bumblebee who had jumped to give Optimus the saber.

"Bumblebee!", Optimus yelled.

I gasped and backed up.

"I killed him.....", I said, "I am just as bad as the cons!"

I might be exaggerating a little, but when you're a prime, it's almost treason to kill another bot. I may not have shot at Bee but those came from my blaster. I sat in the ship, waiting everything out. Optimus could determine my punishment for killing Bumblebee when the fight was over.

"Megatron!", Someone yelled.

I heard the sound of a sword penetrating armor.

"You took my voice. You will not rob anyone of anything ever again.", The same voice said.

I looked at my pedes in sadness. If it were up to me, I'd give myself the death punishment. I deserve it, after all.

"Where's Solus?", Arcee asked.

"I didn't see her after Bumblebee was shot. She.... disappeared.", Wheeljack said.

I heard multiple sets of pedes heading in my direction. I didn't dare look up. The sound ceased when they found me. I heard someone walk toward me but averted my gaze to the opposite side of me.

"Just do it.", Arcee said.

I felt a servo on my shoulder.

"Autobot code specifically says that if a Prime kills one of their own, another Prime or the commander deturmines their fate. I deserve death.", I said sadly, "Bumblebee's death deserves to be avenged. Thus, my life must come to an end."

"I don't think so.", the bot from earlier said, "Besides, it wasn't you, it was Megatron."

"But those shots were shots I fired.", I said as another pair of pedes came toward me, "They came from my blaster."

"But they were intended to hit Megatron. You didn't hit Bumblebee directly, your blaster was aimed at Megatron, not Bumblebee.", Optimus said.

I sighed, refusing to look at anyone, "What's my fate?"

"Oh for Primus sake, just look up.", the voice said.

When I didn't look up, the bot forcefully lifted my helm toward him.

"I'm not offline. When I fell into the Omega lock, the synthetic Energon repaired my systems and my voice box.", Bee said as my optics widen, "It was destiny!"

He stood up and sure enough, it didn't look like he had a scratch on him. Not a single one.

"You seem to know quite a bit about the synthetic Energon, care to tell us how it repaired Bumblebee?", Ratchet asked.

"Of course! The Omega lock is a part of Primus. I created the Synth-en using the Energon from Primus which is why it healed you. Creation not destruction.", I said.

"Well, how about we repair the core of our home and bring back our Autobot comrades?", Ratchet smiled.

I nodded and we all walked to the bridge of the ship. I spotted Ultra Magnus, Miko, who was wearing the Apex armor I made, and Jack. I activated the bridge and brought Raf through to witness the restoration of our home planet.

"You like the armor?", I asked.

"Yeah! I like that I can kick some tailpipe and not get beaten to a pulp.", Miko said, I chuckled.

"Keep it. I can make a few more. That is, if you two would like to join us in battle sometimes.", I said to Jack and Raf.

"That'd be awesome!", Raf said, Jack nodded.

"Then it shall be done.", I said, "I can also make the atmosphere a little more human-friendly. That way, if you want, you can visit whenever you'd like."

"You can do that?", Bulkhead asked.

"Of course. I'm the daughter of Primus.", I said with a smile, "Ratchet, I know you enjoyed being my guardian when I was a human, if you'd like to, you can still be my guardian. Guardian and charge for life."

Ratchet smiled and nodded. I smiled and hugged him catching us both off guard a little. We arrived at the core and Optimus activated the Omega lock. We watched as the surface started to glow blue as my Creator awoke once more.

"Solus......your mission is finished. Doesn't that mean you have to return to the well of allsparks?", Miko asked.

"Though my mission is finished, there must remain someone who can contain the power of synthetic and white Energon. My mission may be complete but another one arises.", I said.

Miko smiled.

All of the bots left the ship but the humans stayed on board. I stopped and turned to them.

"Come on. It's human friendly.", I said, "My father created an o-zone similar to that of Earth's."

"He's alive?", Raf asked.

"Yep. He awoke when we gave him all the Synthetic Energon we had.", I said.

"Wait- your dad is Cybertron?", Jack asked.

"Yep.", I said, "Come on!"

Miko took off the Apex armor and the three of them walked out. I let them on my shoulders and caught up to the Autobots.

"You brought the humans?", Ultra Magnus asked.

"My father already created an oxygen-based barrier around Cybertron. We don't need plants. As long as my father lives, so does the o-zone.", I said.
