Too Far To Turn Back
By SMYGO4EVA

They should have known. They were just praying that everything was going to turn out all right, but they should have known. It was too quiet. For the battles and strange occurrences that had happened in this war, hunts, disappearances, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. It went too quiet, too quickly. It just doesn't disappear. They were just hoping they would.

It was with two worlds were clashing. Optimus' battle-hardened spark was fighting for Earth and Ratchet's knowledge of biomechanics was for the future of Cybertron. The tyrannical Decepticon, Megatron, being controlled by a higher power. The chaos of the battle upon the Decepticon ship was loud, Ratchet almost felt like throwing up his insides. Whatever had disappeared was back. It had one scrap of a grip on his oldest friend too.

In the midst of all of the unadulterated chaos, Autobots fighting the Decepticons viciously, fighting for two worlds, Optimus' spark, certainly, was beating out of his chassis.

Ratchet was the first to move, helping Optimus up. "We need to get out of here. And I can't and will never forgive you if you perish."
