Author's note: This is a sequel to Reunited with sorrow. Warning- Character death and rebirth
Matalic and Megatron went home with their newborn daughter. A small berth was next to Megatron's and Matalic's berth. Megatron put his sleeping daughter in her berth. Days later, Optimus was home. Ratchet told Frost to get him if Optimus was to have another spark-attack or chest pains. Optimus was to be on rest for the next few days.
"Frost, what happened when I went inside of Unicron?" Optimus asked.
"Everyone was worried when he exploded, that you wouldn't come back alive. Megatron raced toward you as you fell. Megatron fell to the ground with you in his arms," Frost said holding back tears. "Ratchet said that you had a major spark-attack due to the damage and the explosion. Ratchet, Fix, and First Aid took you to the emergency bay fast. You had barely survived the attack. Ratchet told me that you were in a coma. Weeks later, you woke up from your coma."
Chromia and Ironhide sat in a hospital room. Ironhide held their daughter while Chromia held their son. He named their daughter Rainstorm. Chromia named their son Chrome.
In the room next door, Soundwave and his femme Silent was watching their son, Silentwave, sleep in Soundwave's arms. He was glad that he had a family of his own. Silent slipped into recharge. Soundwave stroked her arm. He took a bottle of low grade Energon and fed Silentwave.
Starscream was in his chambers when someone walked in. They wrapped their arms around his neck and down to his chest.
Who are you?" he asked.
"Don't you recognize me," the femme asked.
"Nightshade?" Starscream asked as he looked to see the femme.
Starscream pulled the femme onto his lap and held her waist. Nightshade leaned against Starscream and gave him a loving kiss. She retracted and opened his chest. She opened hers and bonded their sparks together. Starscream allowed Nightshade to take over him. He could sense that she wants a sparkling.
"Primus, what are you doing to me?" Starscream cursed. He craved more from her.
"What's the matter Screamy? Can't you handle a little fun, since the war is over," Nightshade said. "You have time for me now."
Rodimus began to think about Ultra Magnus' last words to him. Something to do with the Decepticons worried him. Optimus called Rodimus down to his office. Rodimus made his way down there. Optimus greeted Rodimus and motioned him to sit down.
"Rodimus, I have noticed that something has been bothering you," Optimus said. "What's wrong?"
"I've been thinking about Magnus' last words," Rodimus said. "He said 'Rodimus, the Decepticons are-' He never got to finish. I have a bad feeling that Megatron is planning something. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way."
Optimus was slightly shocked that he would say that. Rodimus looked stern and calm. The mighty leader started to feel pain in his chest. He turned to the window and grabbed the wall and his chest.
"Frost, I need you to get Ratchet," Optimus said over the comlink.
"Dad, what's wrong? Where are you?" asked Frost.
"I'm in my office, and I'm getting chest pain," Optimus said. "Please hurry fast sweetsp-"
"Dad!" Frost yelled. "Ratchet, meet me in dad's office and fast."
Optimus fell to the floor. Rodimus rushed over to Optimus' side when he realized that something was wrong. Optimus arched his body in agony as if something was crushing his spark chamber. Ratchet burst through the door with Frost close by. Frost held her father's hand and tried to calm him down.
Ratchet had Rodimus hold Optimus down. Optimus struggled to get free. Ratchet gave Optimus a sleeping medicine. Slowly, Optimus stopped struggling and slipped into recharge.
"Rodimus, what did you say to him?" Ratchet asked.
"I told him that I have a bad feeling that Megatron is planning something," said Rodimus.
"Ratchet, the words must of shocked him and that's what caused him to have chest pains," Frost explained.
"That may be what caused it. It makes perfect sense," said Ratchet. "Frost, help me get him to the hospital."
"This is all my fault," whispered Rodimus in the waiting room.
"Rodimus you didn't know about his condition," Frost said.
"I know, but I shouldn't of said that about his brother," said Rodimus.
Ratchet came out with concern painted on his face. Frost stood up and walked over to the medic.
"Ratchet, how is he?" Frost asked.
"Knock Out will inform me soon," said Ratchet. "I couldn't help with the operation."
"Why not?" Frost asked.
"I'm getting too old," said Ratchet.
"You're not too old, you just need to calm down and clear your thoughts," said Rodimus.
"Look kid, I'm thousands of years old. I've lost too many lives and I do not want to lose my friend's life," said Ratchet. "I know that I've saved more lives than I lost. It's time that I retired and make someone else the Chief Medical Officer."
"Have you decided who that is yet?" Frost asked.
"I am having Knock Out take that place," Ratchet answered.
Knock Out came out and looked at Frost. She had hope in her optics that her father will live. Knock Out walked toward them.
"He's alive, but I don't know for how much longer," said Knock Out.
"Why's that?" Frost questioned.
"He has had spark problems while leaving Jungle Planet," said Knock Out. "We need a spark-regenerator to keep him alive. Unfortunately, the spark-regenerator donor won't be able to live long after that much is taken away."
"I'll do it," said Ratchet.
"No Ratchet, your spark-mate and sparkling need you. Same with dad," Frost protested.
"What are you talking about? I don't have a sparkling," Ratchet argued.
"Yes you do. Fix told me when we were talking," said Frost.
"Then I shall do it," said Megatron bursting through the doors.
"Lord Megatron, you also have a family to attend to," said Knock Out.
"That doesn't matter right now. I made a promise to myself that I would do anything for Optimus. If it means giving up my life to save him, so be it," Megatron scowled.
"Very well Lord Megatron," said Knock Out.
"Matalic, please take care of our daughter," said Megatron over his comlink. "I love you Sweetspark."
"Megatron, what are you doing?" Matalic asked.
"I'm saving a life," said Megatron.
Knock Out led Megatron to the operating room. The leader laid down on the berth next to Optimus.
This is for you brother Megatron thought.
He went into stasis. Knock Out opened both patients' chests and hooked them to a machine. Megatron's spark began to shrink as the machine fed it to Optimus' spark. The progress was complete and Knock Out unhooked them.
Optimus was moved hours later to a different room after the surgery. Frost and Rodimus came in and sat down next to him. An air mask was on Optimus. Frost held her father's hand. Optimus woke up to his daughter's touch.
"Sweetspark," Optimus whispered.
"Dad, I have something to tell you," Frost said with tears forming. "Megatron is dying and you will be out of here today."
"How is Megatron dying?" Optimus questioned.
"He powered your spark with his, regarding that he has a daughter and spark-mate that need him," Frost answered. "He'll be gone in about 3 earth days or less."
The two left for home. Optimus prayed to Primus that Megatron will live. Optimus couldn't live without Megatron there. Two days later, he got word that Megatron had passed. Anger filled him. Frost tried to comfort her father, but he didn't care. He prayed and prayed to Primus to bring Megatron back to him. His prayers went unanswered.
Matalic cried over Megatron's death. She couldn't sleep. Dark Star started to walk on her own. She walked over to her mom and hugged her leg. Matalic smiled and picked up her daughter. She looked so much like Megatron. She had his colors, optics, smile, and so much more. Matalic had to take care of their daughter.
Years passed and a dark purple, silver, and red bot ran with a crimson bot down the hall. Fix stopped them and looked down at them.
"Where are you two think you're going?" Fix asked. "You're supposed to be in class with Ratchet."
"We don't want to go with Ratchet," Chrome complained. "We don't need to learn that yet."
"Well just think, Silentwave, Red Alert, Rainstorm, and even Havoc is in there. If it makes you feel better, Frost will be there and go through the class a second time," said Fix.
"Dark Star, Chrome, get back here!" Ratchet shouted.
"They're right here sweetie," said Fix.
"Thanks," said Ratchet. "Now come along you two, everyone has to take this class in one point in their life."
The two came out of the room with horrified looks. Dark Star looked at Chrome. They were thinking the same thing.
"I have been scarred for life," Dark Star said.
"Me too," Chrome replied.
"Oh come on you two, it wasn't that bad. Ya dad gave a lot of detail, but he didn't do the whole thing thanks to you two running away," said Red Alert. "He could of showed you how sparklings are born and show videos of femmes and mechs having them."
"No thank you Red. I've had enough of that stuff," said Dark Star seeing Silentwave. "Hey Silentwave, you want to join us tomorrow after school before I have to leave to go to Kaon."
Silentwave walked over to them without a sound. His visor flashed on and he spoke. "Sure, meet me outside in the front."
"Alright," said Chrome.
"Wait Dark Star, you're still going to Kaon? What is so important there?" asked Red Alert.
"You heard about how Megatron gave his life to save Optimus Prime, right?" asked Dark Star.
"Yes," said Red Alert.
"Well, I'm Megatron's daughter and I really miss him. I remember seeing him when I was still a newborn sparkling. He was so kind and loving toward me and mom," said Dark Star with tears forming. "I never got to see him once he left home after getting news that Optimus was at the emergency room."
"It's alright Dark Star. Don't cry," said Chrome.
"I didn't mean for you to cry," said Red Alert.
"It's alright, I do it a lot. I think about him often," said Dark Star.
They walked outside. Chrome ran to Rainstorm then their father. Dark Star waved goodbye to Chrome, then Red Alert and Silentwave. She smiled when she saw Starscream's daughter looking at Blurr run the track. Blurr was the same age as her and she wanted to be a racer just like him. Kup was timing Blurr with each lap he did. She went over and stood next to the old bot with the cy-gar.
"Hey Blurr, you wanna go?" asked Havoc when Blurr was ready for another go.
"Sureifyouwanttojoin. Seeifyoucanbeatme," said Blurr
Dark Star shook her head and headed toward Kaon. Jetfire transformed and walked beside Dark Star.
"Hey kid, you need a lift somewhere?" asked Jetfire.
"Ya, can you bring me to Kaon? I still need to practice before I can use my alt. mode," Dark Star said.
Jetfire transformed and Dark Star got on board. He flew to Kaon and dropped her off.
"Thanks Jetfire," said Dark Star.
"No problem, just meet me back here when you're ready to head home," said Jetfire.
"Okay," Dark Star replied and left toward the city entrance.
She walked to the center. A statue of Megatron stood behind a coffin. She walked up to the coffin and placed her hand on it.
"Hey dad, I hope you can hear me. I miss you so much. Wish you were here to see me right now. Mom misses you too and so does Optimus. Hope I see you when my time comes to join the Allspark," Dark Star said. "School was terrible in Ratchet's class. We had to learn about reproduction. I wonder is you felt the same when you took that class while in the gladiatorial pits. Anyway, I have to get home. See you tomorrow after I do some things with my friends. Don't forget that I love you dad."
Dark Star left and headed back to Jetfire. He transformed and headed back to Iacon. Dark Star thanked Jetfire for the ride and headed inside. Matalic greeted her.
"Mom, do you think that dad will come back? I miss him," Dark Star said.
"I don't know," Matalic answered.
"Dad, you forgot to refuel again," Frost said with an Energon cube in hand.
"Thank you Sweetspark," said Optimus.
"You know that you have to start remembering. I won't always be there for you, you know."
"Where will you be? I hope not the Well of Allsparks yet. I'll miss you."
"No, I'm not going to the Well of Allsparks just yet. You might with the way you keep forgetting to refuel."
"I am not. I already did once, I don't intend to do it again for a long time."
"We'll see about that. You know that I have school and who knows, I may even find a mech and be his spark-mate. I worry about you with Megatron and mom gone."
"I'll try Sweetspark. I love you and be safe when you go with your cousin and her friends."
"Love you too dad," said Frost and left the room to head to school.
Optimus sipped at the Energon and sighed. He looked out his window. He missed Megatron more than he did Elita-One. Megatron had always been there for him until he had moved to Kaon. Optimus would pray that Megatron will be safe in the gladiatorial pits in Kaon. He had learned that when Megatron was first brought there when he was 5, the Fallen had cast that spell. The spell that turned him evil and gave him strength to survive for so long.
"Megatron, how I wish you were here right now. Your daughter has grown so much these past years. I can tell that she wants you," Optimus said to himself. "Please come back to me and everyone else."
A dark purple mist made its way to the coffin in Kaon. It crawled inside and went into the body that laid there. They body changed form and broke the coffin lid. Megatron rose out with a purple glow and purple colored optics.
"I am Galvatron," he said in an evil tone. The mighty leader was brought back to life by the power of Unicron.
Galvatron transformed and flew toward Iacon to greet his foe; Optimus Prime. The power of Unicron flowed through his body with hatred. The last Prime will be destroyed, then Cybertron will be his.
The bell went off and class was over. Dark Star and her friends went to a candy shop for a treat. Dark Star paid for the treats and turned to her friends. Chrome walked over to Dark Star and thanked her. Frost watched them laugh and eat. Optimus commed her and told her that he would be picking her up. Ironhide showed up and took everyone home. Ironhide waited for his son.
"Dark Star, there's something I need to tell you," said Chrome.
"What is it?" asked Dark Star.
"I want to say that I love you," said Chrome.
"I love you too Chrome," said Dark Star and kissed him.
Chrome ran toward the others and his father waving goodbye. Dark Star waved back. A figure walked toward Dark Star as she walked toward Kaon, since she still has to learn to transform and control her alt. form, leaving Frost to wait for her father.
"Where are you going child?" the figure asked.
"I'm going to my father's grave," said Dark Star. "Who are you?"
"I am Galvatron. Who are you?"
"I am Dark Star; daughter of the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron, and his spark-mate Matalic."
"Dark Star!" Optimus shouted at her when he saw her. "What are you doing?! Get away from him now!"
"Why should I? He has made no crime," Dark Star said. "Galvatron, take me to Kaon before he follows."
"As you wish," he said and transformed.
Dark Star boarded him quickly and he flew away. Optimus watched as the two went out of sight. He contacted Soundwave to bridge him to Kaon. He raced through the portal after comming Frost to pick up some Energon for later.
Dark Star walked toward her father's grave with Galvatron. She turned the corner and gasped in horror. The coffin had been smashed and the body was missing.
"No," she whispered. "Father."
"Child, do you really know who I am?" Galvatron asked. "I am your father."
"Prove it," she said.
"Starscream was my second-in-command and Soundwave was my surveillance chief. I was brought to this city to fight in the gladiatorial pits when I was 5. The Fallen had put a spell on my then named me Megatronus," said Galvatron. "During the end of the war, I killed Optimus and broke the spell. Optimus was brought back. I met Matalic again and we created you. I saved Optimus using my own spark knowing that I would die."
"Father," Dark Star said and walked toward him.
"Dark Star, that's not your father's true form!" Optimus shouted. "He has the power of Unicron in him!"
"Very perspective Prime. Unicron brought me back so that he can destroy you," Galvatron said.
Galvatron created a spear of Dark Energon and threw it at Optimus. He dodged the attack and fired. Galvatron charged at Optimus with another spear. Optimus did the same and swung at his chest with his sword. Galvatron dodged it and drove his spear in Optimus. Both hands were on the spear as they drove the spear deeper. Optimus' hand went to the spear and tried to get free. Galvatron smirked as he saw the pain his foe was going through.
"Dad, why are you doing this? He's your brother," said Dark Star.
"Your father may be alive, but I control him," said Unicron taking the spear out with force.
"If you're Unicron, why don't you kill him later then leave Cybertron, build a new body, and go eat some other planets in different galaxies. If you eat Cybertron with your new body, then Primus will destroy you from the inside out," said Dark Star.
"Alright child, if you insist me living," Unicron mused. "Once I have killed him, I shall leave Cybertron and this body till Primus has died."
He grabbed Optimus and pulled him to one of Shockwave's lab. Dark Star followed them knowing that Unicron would never leave. Optimus was put on a operation table. Galvatron walked over to the medical supplies and took a syringe filled with a high level acid.
"What are you doing?" asked Dark Star.
"I'm going to inject this low level acid into him. Do not fear, this will not kill him, only weaken him," Unicron lied injecting it slowly into a main Energon vein.
The pain was too much for Optimus. Dark Star could see that he was in pure agony. She mouthed to him that she was sorry. Optimus looked at Dark Star as his body arched in pain.
"Unicron, may I speak with him one last time?" Dark Star bursted out.
"Very well child," Unicron said stepping aside.
"Dark Star," Optimus said through the pain.
"I'm here Optimus. I know how much pain you're going through right now. I'm so sorry this happened to you," she replied taking his hand in her own.
"Please, open my chest and take my spark," Optimus pleaded.
"No, I'm not killing you," Dark Star said.
"Please," Optimus begged. "The pain is too much for me."
Dark Star hesitated at first then opened his chest and looked at the Matrix. Despite the pain he was currently going through, Optimus sat up and called to the Matrix for help. A beam of light shot out and hit Galvatron, destroying Unicron. Galvatron was back to normal and Optimus fell.
He was coughing up Energon as the acid continued to eat at his circuitry. Optimus' optics flickered and went out. He laid motionless on the berth with one arm over the side.
"Optimus," Dark Star whispered. "I know you're not dead. Please just wake up."
Galvatron heard Dark Star crying. He looked at find Optimus laying there motionless. He walked over to his daughter and brother. Using her healing powers, Dark Star tried to revive him.
Frost was walking home when she bumped into a mech. The dark blue and grey mech turned around.
"Sorry," said Frost.
"That's alright," he said. "I'm Darkwind."
"I'm Frost."
"Where're you heading?"
"I'm heading home to help my father. He won't refuel because of his brother's death."
"Who's his brother?"
"Megatron."
"Wow, that means that you're the daughter of Optimus Prime. Maybe we can hang out more."
"Sure," Frost said before she got a message. "I'm on my way there."
"What's wrong?" Darkwind asked.
"My father needs my healing powers. My friend isn't strong enough," said Frost.
Soundwave opened the groundbridge. Frost ran through with Darkwind close by. Horror crossed her face when she saw Optimus on the operation table motionless. Dark Star tried her best to revive him, but her power was low. Frost ran over and used her powers. Darkwind glowed blue as he touched Optimus' chest. His healing powers was enough to revive him. Optimus coughed up Energon and looked at Frost.
"Sweetspark," Optimus whispered.
"Daddy, don't ever do that again. I can't lose you," Frost said. "Thanks Darkwind."
"No problem, glad to help at anytime," Darkwind said.
Frost went up and kissed him. Optimus saw this and growled quietly. Frost pulled back and whispered something to him.
"Meet me at the school tomorrow," she whispered.
"Okay, love you my Prime," he whispered.
"Love you too," she whispered back.
"Darkwind, I would like to thank you for saving my life," said Optimus.
"It's an honor and I would save a life every chance I get," Darkwind said as he transformed and left.
"No," Optimus said sternly.
"What?" Frost asked.
"Not until you're older," Optimus said.
"I'm not going to interface or spark-bond, just hang out," Frost said.
"Brother, Frost is getting older and she needs to learn to live on her own," said Galvatron.
"I know," said Optimus hitting Galvatron.
"What was that for?" asked Galvatron rubbing his arm.
"That's for coming back so late. I haven't recharged properly or refuel without being reminded," Optimus said. "I missed you more than Elita-One for Primus' sake."
"You know that I always come back," Galvatron laughed.
"Let's go, Matalic misses you enough," said Optimus going through the groundbridge. Galvatron followed with his daughter.
