My universal disclaimer: I hereby announce that I, Azul_the_Blue, do NOT own anything belonging to my respective fannish obsessions. I do not own Transformers, Emergency!, Warriors, Spore, or anything as such. They belong to their respective companies/owners and as such, are liable to request that this fandom be removed at any time. The only thing I own here is... My Original Characters, and the plots.
Anything I do not claim as mine, you can assume I don't own it.
Also, nobody but myself is responsible for any and all mistakes. They are mine, and mine alone.
Optimus looked down at the sight of the corpse on front of him. "It wasn't supposed to end this way," he murmured.
"Hey now, you knew there as no other option at all, Optimus... Don't fret the past, you have to go on now." Ratchet attempted to soothe his leader. "Don't fret? Don't fret?! I cannot believe you just have told me that, Ratchet! I murdered my own daughter!"
"Optimus..."
"No, I am not going to listen to you go on about it all! I killed more than her! I killed LIVING AND SENTIANT BEINGS!"
"You didn't have a choice!" "Yes I did, Ratchet. When I spoke up, I had choice. I took the choice to start the war. If I hadn't said anything..."
"We would have suffocated in tyranny." "You don't know that! Maybe he wouldn't have done this if I didn't -"
"Stop it, just stop it! This is not going them change anything at all Optimus! Slag, if we'd known it would have happened, do you think we would have done something?"
Optimus turned away. "You don't know, Ratchet. You don't known a slagging thing about him, do you?"l
"I know who Megatron is, and who he was to you, Optimus! And don't think your daughter's death is your fault! Megatron manipulated her, she made her own choices from there on!"
Optimus shook his head slowly. "Ratchet..."
"If you think for some second that I'm going to let you go, then you're wrong!"
"Do you really think you can stop me?"
Silence met his words.
Finally, the last words said between those two old friends were let into the air.
"Goodbye, Ratchet."
