transformers prime: Optimus' love.

chapter 7

It's been a total of 3 years since any Decepticon activity. Sky had been a official member of team prime for 2 years since her trasformation was completed. Her training was quick. She had guns in her arms and also long swords. She didn't consider herself a prime. The entire team, including rachet, were on a energon scout. The team was kinda board since they haven't seen Decepticons in so long.

Sky was flying in vehicle mode over Florida. Then a call on the radio came though. "Optimus, 'cons are back and cliffs in neck deep in scrap" Arcee said. "Understood. Rachet, can you track his position?" Optimus asked. "I'm locked on his signal Optimus, but are team is scadderd across timezones" rachet said. "Arcee, Bubblebee, bulkhead, head back to base and prepare to ground bridge." Optimus ordered. A few minutes later a ground bridge opened where sky was.

First bubble got to the site, then bulkhead, then Arcee, then rachet, then Skywalker. Optimus went last and when he landed he armed his weapon. "An untapped energon deposit" Optimus said when he saw it was clear. "What's left of it" bulkhead said. "First Decepticon activity in three years" rachet said. "That we know of, of they are scouting for energon, they may be preparing for his return" Optimus said as he removed his face shield.

They went down into the ditch. Arcee found a horn what belonged to Cliffjumper. "No" Arcee said. "Rachet, can you track his position?" Optimus asked. Rachet nodded and opened his arm. "No.. Cliffjumper's life signal just went offline" rachet said sadly. Everyone was shocked. They went back to base. They went to the top of the base.

"We must not allow our anger over the loss of Cliffjumper, to impair our judgement. As of today, we 6 Autobots remain on this Earth. We owe it to ourselves, to the memory of cybertronian, to any autobots in any Galaxy seeking safe harbor, to human kind" Optimus said. Arcee stepped forward and set down the horn as Optimus said "and we owe it to the memory our fallen comrade to survive" Arcee stood up. "Arcee" Optimus said.

"If cliffs gone then standing here sulking won't bring him back, so unless anyone minds, I'm going back to protecting human kind" Acree in an angry tone. She transformed and rode off. "Optimus, helping humans will only result in more tragedy" Rachet said. "Really, in front of me?" Skywalker asked. "your opinion is noted Rachet" Optimus said. They went back into base. Optimus was looking at the computer. "Honey, are you alright?" Skywalker asked. Optimus sighed. I'm fine. I'm more worried about Arcee. This is her second partner she lost. Her first one was killed by a bot I liked. At least until she became a Decepticon. Arcee,  she wants revenge on who killed tailgate. And now Cliffjumper" Optimus said. Skywalker hugged him. "Everything will be fine." Skywalker said. "bumblebee, bulkhead, might want to go on patrol" Optimus said. "sure boss" bulkhead said as he transformed. The bumblebee trasformed and both he and bulkhead left.

A few hours later, Arcee, Bubblebee, and bulkhead came back. Arcee was talking about her recent encounter with the 'cons. "And they would have been scrap metal if I wasn't distracted by the human" Arcee said. "Human?" Optimus asked. Bubblebee buzzed and held up two fingers. "Two boys?" Optimus said. "I guess the second one caught us in the action? I don't know, I was alittle busy at the time" Arcee said annoyed.

"If the Decepticons are targeting us, anyone perceived as our ally, will be in great risk" Optimus said. Bubblebee buzzed. "Okay, you will get raf, Arcee, what was the other boys name?" Optimus asked. "Jack I think." Arcee said. Optimus nodded. "Pick them up after school tomorrow. We must protect them" Optimus said. Arcee and Bubblebee nodded.

The next afternoon sky, Optimus, Rachet and bulkhead were waiting for Arcee and Bubblebee to come back from picking up the boys. They finally came back and Arcee had another human with her, a girl. "I thought there were two" Rachet said confused. "Haven't you heard, humans multiply" Arcee said sarcastically. "Really Acree?" Skywalker complained. "Sorry, thought it was funny" Arcee said. "I'm Raf" the smaller human of the three said. "I'm Miko, who are you?" The girl asked bulkhead. "Bulkhead" he said nervously. Miko gasped. "Are you a car? I bet your a truck, a monster truck, do you like heavy metal? How much do you way? Ever used a wrecking ball as a punching bag?" Miko asked excitedly.

"So if you are robots, who made you?" Raf asked. "Oh, please" rachet said. "Rachet, they don't know" Skywalker said. Optimus came in and Miko went up to him. Optimus gave the same description he gave to sky when they first met. "So why are you here?" The taller boy named jack asked. "To protect your planet, from the Decepticons" Optimus said. "The joker's who tried to bump us off last night" Arcee said. "okay, why are they here?" Jack asked. Optimus kneeled "A fair question Jack, in part, they are here because our planet is uninhabitable raved by centuries of civil war." Optimus said. "Why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked. "Over the main control of energon, the live blood and fuel for autobots and Decepticons alike." Optimus said. "The battle was fierce, and the combat lasted for centuries. In the beginning, I fought along side one who I considered a brother. But in war ideals can be corrupted, and it was so, that Megatron lost his way" Optimus explained. Miko yawned. "Is there going to be a quiz?" Miko asked. "So what dose Megatron, or any of this, have to do with us?" Jack asked. "Megatron hasn't been seen or heard from in some time, but if his return is eminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic." Optimus said.

Optimus stood up and walked over to the other bots. "So now that you know of our existence, I fear that as of last night, the decorations know of yours." Optimus said. "Got it, spot any strange vehicles, call 911. Can we go now?" Jack asked. "Are you insane? I'm living the dream here in Botswana, and I'm not gonna let you or anyone else shatter it." Miko said.

"It's best if you three remain under our watch." Optimus said. "Optimus, the human children are in as much danger here as anywhere" Rachet said. "Children?" Jack questioned. "they have no protective shell, I'd they get underfoot they will go, squish" Rachet said then stepped forward alittle. "It's not like we aren't used to it. But for the meantime, we must watch where we step." Optimus said.

A sensor started going off. "What's that?" Jack asked. Bumblebee started buzzing. "Proximity sensor, someone's up top" Raf said. "You can understand him Raf?" Skywalker asked. Raf nodded. "It's agent Fowler" Rachet said.

"I thought we were the only ones who knew about you" Jack asked. "Special Agent Fowler is our designated liaison to the outside world, as he only tends to visit when there are issues. I think it's best if you do not meet him at this time." Optimus said. The kids hid. And agent Fowler came though the elevator door. "7 wrecks, 34 fender benders, a 3-hour traffic jam, and a particular note, numerous reports of a speeding motorcycle of unknown make, and a black and yellow muscle car." Fowler said. Optimus went closer to him. "So anything you care to get off your tin chest prime?" Fowler asked. "We have the situation under control agent Fowler" Optimus said. "There back aren't they?" Fowler asked. "If you're referring to Decepticons, I have doubts that they ever left, your planet is much to valuable." Optimus said. "Then I think it's time to wake up the Penticton" Fowler said.

"Agent Fowler, military involvement will be catastrophic." Optimus said. "Says you" Fowler said. "hey fleshy, did anyone get hurt on that free way." Bulkhead said he grabbed a price of equipment and said "team prime knows when to use force, and how much to use." Then squished the equipment until it broke comeplately. "Bulkhead! I needed that!" Rachet yelled. "Enough" Optimus said. He told Fowler he couldn't let there be human casualties. "Then do us both a favor and handle this prime under the radar, or I will" Fowler said as he left. "Pretty big bearings, for a human" bulkhead said. "Agent Fowler is just concerned for his world Bulkhead, a s he should be" Optimus said.

A couple hours later Rachet said angrily, "blasted Earth tech, Cliffjumper's life signal just popped back online." "Who's Cliffjumper?" Miko asked. "How is that possible" Optimus asked. "it isn't. Another bug, the system is chocked full of them" rachet said. "if there is any chance cliffs alive-" Acree started. "Rachet, prepare sick bay, we may need it" Optimus said. "what can we do?" Miko asked. "Remain here" Optimus said as he put on his face shield. "Aw" Miko complained. "Ug" rachet complained. "Rachet" Skywalker said firmly. Rachet rolled his optics. "Autobots, trasoform and roll out." Optimus ordered and the team went though the ground bridge.
