To Save Her

By Hacker Catcher.

He stood upon the scorched earth where the last battle had taken place. It was empty here, no humans for miles. He took small steps for one of his kind as he looked out in the direction from wince he had come. His foot falls were silent as he turned and planeedt his feet properly and looked up.

He had come to this place at every opportunity he could find. He closed his eyes and opened his Chest plating and there from within him his holo-projector appeared. He sighed and looked up again. His projector showing one Cybertronian symbol as it reached out into the stars. After a few moments he shut it off. He was not sure all his effort was worth anything, but he had to continue to call out to her; to his beloved. To let her know he was still here…that he was still waiting…and despite it all…that he wanted to help her. To make it all right.

The mech behind him tapped his foot, he had moved more silently than the bot before him. "You know where she is." He said taking a step forward

"She must come to us." He said "she must come…to me." There was an empty sort of emotion to his voice as he looked up to the stars.

"Very well..." Prowl crossed his arms, and leaned back on his heels. "But why do you try so hard. Tell me that."

"She has to know I care." He turned "I want to help her, I feel this is all my fault."

"If there was a way to help her I am sure we all would be willing to do it." Prowl sighed and looked down "Come back to base before Bumblebee and Bulkhead tear it down…Just remember Optimus…" Prowl mused. "You are still our leader…and we'll follow you…whatever you decide." Prowl smiled a bit.

"Alright." He said "We will wait for her to come to us."

"What makes you so sure Optimus?" Prowl asked; ever inquisitive Prowl. "That she will come back here…to the rest of us."

"She is an Autobot."

"She was an Autobot…" Prowl corrected him almost uncertain if to finish his sentace.

"No…to me …she still is…" Optimus began to walk with prowl back to the old factory. There was nothing more said between the two of them…nothing needed to be said Optimus just needed more time, to learn what had gone wrong back at the cave, to understand what was keeping her so isolated. To Save her.
