KILL 'EM WITH KINDNESS | OPTIMUS PRIME

THIRTY EIGHT

Get Out

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I opened my eyes to see that I wasn't in the scrapyard. Nor was I on Earth. I was on Cybertron. Except it looked so..dead. But I couldn't observe my surroundings. I had to find out what happened to Zara. I heard yells of pain and loudly groaning and walked towards the source. I had just looked past a wall I was behind and saw Zara on the ground, holding her side. I quickly hid back against it, hoping that whoever it was hadn't seen me. I looked back again and saw who I haven't seen for so long and never wanted to see again.

Quintessa. She was the one that killed my family in cold blood and the Original 13 Primes had banished her from off of Cybertron. I guess she found her way back.

I looked to my left and Optimus was facing towards me just knelt down, staring at the ground. I didn't care if Quintessa saw me, I just ran up to him.

"Optimus! Optimus, can you hear me?" I called as I approached his right knee. As soon as I got to him, however, I saw a large red mark on his left side of face that extended from his bottom lip up to the top of his head.

My eyes went wide in anger before I immediately looked over at Quintessa who was torturing the hell out of Zara. I balled up my fist before I marched over to Quintessa.

"You will obey me, Zara. You have no choice. You will die without me." Quintessa rambled before I rolled my eyes. She said the same shit to me before. I wasn't about to have it.

"Hey!" I shouted as Quintessa turned around and saw me on the ground. "Remember me, you glitch?!"

"Yes.. unfortunately. I do remember." Before I could say anything unless, Quintessa had sent a blast at me, causing me to jerk back and out of the memory, into a stack of crates behind me.

"Raven? Are you okay?" Raquel asked as she went over to her and helped her up. "I know who did this to Zara."

"Who?"

"We need to get everyone here now. This is a very serious matter." Raven said strictly as she walked out of the work area, leaving Cade and Raquel to look at each other.
-

"..okay, Bee. Don't be too upset. I'm sure I'll find you another-"

"Hey, Al, Bee. Come on." Alice looked Raven's way and nodded before jumping off the stack of cars and following behind Raven, Bumblebee following in suit.

As soon as everyone gathered around Zara in the work room (except the Autobots, they stood outside), Raven crossed her arms and began to speak.

"What I'm about to tell you guys..cannot get out to the rest of the world. I mean, it eventually will, but for now, we have to keep this secret." Raven said as everyone acknowledged. "The femme I saw in Zara's memories..was Quintessa."

The Autobots' optics went wide in fear and anger when they heard that name. Cade, Raquel and Alice looked at each other in confusion before Alice approached Raven asking:

"Who is this Quintessa?"

"Quintessa was a superior officer that served as a Decepticon during the war. Whereas we had Optimus Prime. The Decepticons had their Prime. She had quickly began taking care of the Decepticons which Megatron didn't like. Before Megatron became the swore leader to the Decepticons, he wanted Quintessa to stop her madness. But it only resulted in him getting tortured the hell out of. She corrupted his mind and all I wanted was my father back." Everyone's jaws had dropped to the floor at this point.

Since when was Raven the daughter of Megatron?

"Don't look so shocked. I literally where red and silver. You don't see the comparison?!" Raven said as Alice shrugged.

"Maybe."

"But that's besides the point. What I'm saying is, that Cybertron has an enemy. And Autobots, you know of him. His name is Unicron. He's like Cybertron's devil. He had tried to corrupt Cybertron for millions of millennia. But we thought we killed him, until Quintessa spoke of Earth. She said he had slumbered as Earth's core billions of years. Now, she wants to destroy him. She wants to destroy Unicron. And the only way to do that-"

"..destroy Earth. But I will she do that billions of miles away?" Cade asked as Raven sighed deeply.

"Cybertron is on it's way here." Cade's eyes automatically struck fear. Raquel's eyes also went wide with fear and Alice stood emotionless. "What do we do to prevent it from getting here?"

"You can't stop an entire planet from crushing another. But what we can do is prevent that from happening."

"How? We don't have an army! We can't stop this Quintessa on our own! We need Optimus!" Raquel exclaimed as she held her hands to her face, crying softly into them before she plopped down on a crate.

"Well, what do we do?" Crosshairs asked Raven as she looked down at her feet.

"Simple. We kick her ass." They all heard as they all looked by the entrance into the work place and saw a woman standing there with her hands on her hips. Everyone's face lit up in surprise when they saw the person they missed for almost 7 years.

"Lordes!"
