Chapter 1
Rodimus, Spike and his son Daniel, and Ultra Magus where in SkyLinx headed off on a mission. "Hey Dad, where we going again?" Daniel asked Spike.
"A planet called Nabu." Spike explained "Apparently the people there who are allies to the Autobots agreed to house and care for baldy injured Autobots until they are well enough to come back to either Autobot City or to Cybertron."
"And that's the main reason we're going." said Rodimus "There are some Autobots there that are ready to come home."
"Another reason is there are rumors that Decepticons had been seen around." said Ultra Magus "And if that's the cause we'll need to stop them before they cause some trouble."
"Oh I see." Daniel said.
"Hang on gentleman." SkyLinx spoke "I'm getting ready to land." With that said that giant Autobot landed on a well clear landing pad in front of a huge building.
"Wait here SkyLinx until we are ready to leave." Rodimus said.
"I shall be waiting."
The small group soon entered the main floor of the building were an Autobot medic that was station on the planet came up to them. "Ah, Rodimus Prime. Ultra Magus. It's good to see the both of you again."
"And it's good to see you too, Evac." said Rodimus. Daniel stares up in awe at the Transformer in front of him. To Daniel the bot called Evac, looked a bit like Ratchet. "Oh, these are our human friends." Rodimus said with a smile "Spike and his son Daniel."
Evac smiled down at them. "It's a pleasure to meet the both of you." he said "The names Evac."
"You look like Ratchet." Daniel said still in awe.
"Well how every observant." Evac smiled again. "Ratchet and I had the same creator. You humans could say he was my older brother."
"Oh..."
"So, where are the Autobots that are ready to leave?" asked Magus.
"Fallow me." said Evac as he turned to leave "They are in the Rec Room." The small group started to fallow him.
As the group walked through the halls, Daniel lagged behind. It wasn't long until the young lad got lost. He wasn't watching where he was going when he bump into something tall and metallic. "Now what do we have here? Are you lost little one?" Daniel looked up to the voice and saw a mech standing there. He didn't have any armor on, he just had semi burned basic frame. Daniel could see the workings of the mech's brain from the exposed head. Also around the mech's neck was looked to be an Autobot sized military dog tags. The mech looked at him with this thoughtful and confused look. "You look very familiar." he spoke again "Like I seen you some where before. What's your name kid?"
"Daniel." Daniel said "I'm kind of lost my way."
"Daniel huh?" the mech said "Where you suppose to go?"
"To the Rec Room."
The mech smiled. "I'm heading that way." he said "How about we walk together?"
"Okay." Daniel and the mech started to walk together. "You had seen humans before?"
"Yeah, a long time ago." said the mech "The most I see around here are the species of this planet and other Autobots."
"So who are you?" Daniel asked curiously.
"...A warrior under Optimus Prime..." the mech said sadly.
"Oh, so, how did you get here?"
"...I can't remember..."
"You can't?" The mech just looked away sadly. Daniel was about to ask why until they arrived to a room which happens to be said Rec Room.
"Daniel, there you are." Spike said when he saw his son come into the room "I was getting worried."
"Sorry dad. I kind of got lost but he helped me find my way back."
Spike looked up at the mech standing there. "Thanks for helping my son." He said with a smile.
The mech smiled a bit back. "It was no problem." the mech spoke "Your son reminds me of another human child I once knew."
Rodimus and Ultra Magus couldn't help but stare at the mech before them. "Hey Evac," started Rodimus as he looked towards the medic who was at the time checking on the Autobots that was in the room getting ready to leave the planet. "Whose he?"
Evac turned and sighed when he saw the said mech. "A warrior..." he said as he came up to the two "See those dog tags; well he arrived to this planet quite a hard way. Apparently he was drop from somewhere out in space near this planet. Some how during his entry into this planet's astrosphere and the heat from the entry burn off his outer armor including his helmet. It also burns a bit of those tags. So what ever name that was on them got burn off. It dose show a number but the computer here don't know of it."
"So, he's a nameless soldier?" Ultra Magus asked.
Evac nods. "He can't even remember himself. He's entry was kind of painful. It damage most of his processor there. I did the best I can with him but... I think he's was one of Optimus higher up soldiers." He said.
"How you came up with that?" Rodimus asked.
"Well one, when I try to fix him up, his logic processor was the most sensitive one I ever seen." Evac explained "I hardly meet any one from Optimus' group personally expect my brother. But many of Optimus' higher ups have very delicate and high processors. Also you can barely see it, but he has the marking of a high ranking officer on his arms. And it's also a bit sad; I think he was attacked on a shuttle or something before all of this. I had to fight hard to save his spark from going out before everything else."
"...Oh wow..." said Spike. Daniel was silent in pity and amazement.
"...Shuttle...Optimus... Say, do you remember being headed to Earth from one of Cybertron's moons?" Rodimus asked the mech. He was thinking over the information and trying to piece together who it might be.
The mech looked at him a bit confused. "...I..."
"...There were two others on that shuttle. They were Ironhide and Ratchet. Can you remember?" The mech closed his optics tight in pain as he backs up towards a near by wall. "...Sorry... It's okay... I just thought...he might be someone I knew..." Rodimus said, ending the conversation.
"Easy now," Evac said as he helped the mech calm down. After the mech calmed down, Evac carefully help the mech to sit down in a near by chair.
"I'm sorry. I asked too much too quickly," Rodimus said, apologizing again.
"He must have gotten really injured coming in," Daniel spoke.
"He's got Amnesia it sounds like," said Spike.
Evac looked at Spike confused. "Amnesia? It that some kind of human thing?" he asked.
"Yeah. It's when you're so severely injured, that you have a short period of memory loss. You can't remember anything before the injury. It takes time to remember things."
"Oh I see."
"So, cause he got head damage on the way in, he can't remember?" asked Daniel.
"Yes, son. That's what I'm saying."
"Well then, I guess I'll have to find out later," sighed Rodimus "Are they ready to leave?"
"Ah yes." said Evac "They are all ready."
"Come on then, let's get back."
"But...what about him?" Daniel asked. He was starting to befriend the mech and didn't want to leave him.
"We're not going to risk it." Evac said in a serious tone "He might get hurt."
"I know you want him to come, Daniel, but he's not ready yet. He needs to stay here a little longer first. We might come back for him later," Spike tried to explain.
"...But... Okay..." he sighed. He waved goodbye to the mech and boarded SkyLinx back to Cybertron.
"Is everyone ready?" SkyLinx asked.
"Take off," said Rodimus.
"Right." With that SkyLinx took off and started his way back to Cybertron.
The mech watched them leave. He couldn't help the familiar sense he got from the three of them, especially Daniel. Evac place a hand on his shoulder. "Come on." he said with a smile.
"Amnesia..." he started "That's what the older human said. I think he's right. There's something familiar about the three of them, but I can't remember. I want to remember, but I can't."
"I know." Evac said "I know." The mech just looked at the door sadly.
Meanwhile, back in SkyLinx, Daniel just couldn't help but think of the mech. "Dad, I wonder who he was."
"You aren't still thinking of him are you?" he laughed "Don't worry, Daniel. I'm sure he'll remember sometime soon. I'm curious myself as to who he was."
"What Evac said made me think..." said Rodimus "Ultra Magnus, we weren't able to find Prowl's body after what happened were we?"
"...No... He was the one body we couldn't find. It's odd, we found Ironhide's two halves, Ratchet and Brawn, but not Prowl. They were on the same shuttle."
"...You're right. That is very odd."
"You think the mech is Prowl!" Daniel asked excitedly.
"It's hard to say..." Ultra Magus started to say.
"...Lets not get our hopes up too high. It's a possibility," said Rodimus. He decided to just let the thought fade away and let things be for now. They would find out somehow.
"That would be so cool if it was!"
"Now now, Daniel. Rodimus just said not to get your hopes up."
"I know Dad..." said Daniel said with a sigh "But one thing I didn't know that you guys can have dog tags."
"Only the older warriors have them." said Ultra Magus "Mainly the ones that was in Optimus' troop the longest."
"...Like Ironhide?" Daniel asked. Ultra Magus nods.
"Hmm, maybe that's why Evac's computer couldn't recognize the numbers on that mech's tags," said Spike.
"Correct." said Ultra Magus.
"Then I'll just have to try Teletran 2's database," said Rodimus. "I memorized the numbers."
"You think Teletran 2 will have it?" Daniel asked.
"It has all of Teletran 1's data in its banks. It will have Prowl's old numbers." Daniel looked excited again.
Spike just laughed. "Well..." he started. "It would be nice if Prowl WAS alive..." Everyone nods a bit.
