You're Not Alone (TFP)

Chapter 6: Scraplets

     Fire... All I saw was fire. I was running for my life, trying to get away from this. I kept running on the metal floor, seeing giant robots screaming in pain, some dying. When I heard someone else screamed, I stopped. I knew that voice. It was Optimus. I turned around to see him leaning against a wall of a building, Energon coming out fast on his right side, and I could see sparks.

    "Optimus!" I yelled. He couldn't hear me, nor see me. Then out of nowhere, a giant medal Dragon landed beside him. My eyes widen. It was the same Dragon I had drawn back at school. The Dragon looked at his wound with a scared expression. I couldn't explain it. It was like I was connected to her, feeling all of her emotions. She draped her wing over Optimus's side. Immediately, blue mist-like stuff covered the Dragon's wing. When she removed her wing. Optimus's wound was completely healed. Then she looked in my direction and starts walking towards me.

     I quickly tried to run away, but I tripped over something and fell. When I got up, I turned to see the Dragon standing over me.

     "Who are you?" I asked fearfully. To my amazement, the Dragon actually spoked. "My name is not important right now," she said. "You must wake up. You need to help the Autobots."

     I was about to reply when I suddenly became dizzy and everything was getting blurry, then I collapsed.

.................................................................

     I gasped and sat up in panic. I relaxed when I saw that I was at Autobot base. Ever since the 'father-shot-me' accident, I have stayed with the Autobots. Also, Optimus is my guardian now.

     "I told you, Doc, we're fine." I heard Bulkhead said.

     I turned to see Bulkhead standing up, but Ratchet put his servo on Bulkheads' shoulder to make him sit back down again. I have learned that hand is servo for Cybertronians.

     "The only way to be certain you're fine, Bulkhead, is to endure standard defrosting procedure," Ratchet said. "You know prolonged exposure to sub-zero conditions can cause permanent system damage."

    I walked over to them as Optimus entered the room, Arcee next to him. "Ratchet, have you learn anything more about our arctic find?" He asked.

     "Not yet." Ratchet said as he was walking to a computer with an image of something that looked like an egg covered in ice. "The pod can't be opened while it's frozen solid."

     I looked up at Optimus. "You guys went to the Arctic? Why?" I asked.

     Ratchet looked down at me and said, "We detected an Energon signal."

     "And you guys hoped that it was unmined energon, right?"

     Optimus nodded. I started to hear something, like water drops, then the sound of metal creaking and scraping. Then I felt thousands of auras. I stumbled back a little from the sudden auras. I don't know if they are friendly or not. They felt... neutral. I didn't feel them a couple of minutes ago. Could they have come from the pod?

     "Arcee and I will search for any clue which might explain the origin of our arctic find." Optimus said as him and Arcee walked in front of an opening Groundbridge. I must've zoned out.

     "Only until your sensors sounds." Ratchet said, looking down at some remote device. He looked at Optimus. "Remember, once your core temperature drops into the blue zone," He said as he pressed something on the control pointing at Optimus. His Autobot symbol started beeping blue. "System failures aren't likely..." Ratchet said as he did the same thing to Arcee. "They're imminent."
