So, my country blocked fanfiction. Great. I had to use proxy to upload this and the editing machine wasn't working properly so be patient with me. I couldn't add line breaks so please. Please. I am sorry this is crap. Will edit again later if the site comes back up.
K+ for very mild swearing. Mostly in author's notes.
Also this is my first Transformers Prime story ever. I beg your forgiveness if there are any mistakes.
Also this takes place at the end of Darkness Rising part 5, when Optimus and Megatron fight each other on the space bridge.
Will continue if gets positive feedback (review, follow, and favorite. But I love reviews more!)
"Megatron," a female voice interrupted Megatron and Optimus' battle.
"Darkfire, found a way to break out, have you?" Megatron spoke to the the femme.
"I'm not letting you do this," the femme, Darkfire, stood just by the edge of the space bridge. She had two scars on her right eye, and a swarm of black magnets flew out of those scars.
"How are you going to stop me? The dark energon prevents you from controlling me!" Megatron threw Optimus' cut off blade to her, aiming for her spark chamber before the magnet shards managed to get to him. The magnets retreated to her scar as the blade hit her left arm.
Optimus seized the opportunity to blast the tyrant away and ran to the ground bridge which was already open. He stopped abruptly to look at the injured femme, she looked at him with hope.
He held out his hand and she took it. He pulled her into the bridge as the space bridge exploded afterwards.
"There's another pulse," Ratchet said as an unknown energon pulse popped up on the monitor.
"Who could it be?" Raf questioned as he inspected the monitor as well.
Bulkhead stepped out first, next was Bumblebee, carrying Arcee. Ratchet immediately rushed to tend to Arcee as Optimus emerged from the portal. With another bot.
"Um... Who's that?" Jack spoke up and all of the autobots' attention went to Darkfire, the decepticon femme.
"This is Darkfire, she tried to assist me in fighting Megatron," Optimus explained.
"But she's a con!" Bulkhead intervened. Bumblebee brought Arcee to Jack who looked at her with concern.
"But he's an autobot! I shouldn't have helped him!" Darkfire reversed Bulkhead's words.
Darkfire had white paint job and the usual red decepticon eyes. Although her face was slightly more friendly than other decepticons.
"Why did you help me, Darkfire?" Optimus said. The humans and the other autobots were tending to Arcee.
"Why shouldn't I, Orion Pax?" She replied. Which made him slightly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Ratchet, I'm going out for a drive," Optimus said.
"And you're taking her with you?!" Ratchet motioned to Darkfire. Optimus only nodded and motioned for the decepticon to follow him out through the exit. He transformed into his truck form as she transformed into a white car. They both drove out.
He led her to a secluded part of the desert and transformed. She did so too and looked at him with confusion. "Why did you bring me here, Orion?" Darkfire spoke as she looked around to the empty desert.
"Who are you really, Darkfire?" He scanned her face for any familiarity, but found none.
"You truly have forgotten me, Orion... It's true what Megatron says," Darkfire's optics filled with sadness.
"It's Optimus Prime now,"
"I know, I know..." Darkfire turned to face the yards of sand.
"You knew me as Orion Pax?" Optimus questioned.
"You should've remember that..." Darkfire said, her voice low. Optimus tried to remember her. But nothing. To be honest, he really didn't remember much about being Orion Pax. It was over a millennium ago, and the war has done lots to his memory. "I don't blame you, really... Everything has changed. Our planet, our race... Even me. I doubt you'd recognize me even if you remembered," Darkfire sighed, "and over all those years I finally realized how wrong 'peace by tyranny' is..."
"Is that why you went against Megatron?" Optimus asked.
"Yes, that is one of the many reasons... And another would be I was held prisoner in the Nemesis,"
"Why were you held prisoner?"
"You saw for yourself. I had the ancient warrior's magnet shards," Darkfire turned back to him with a clawed hand coverimg her scar. It was then that Optimus realized she had a huge cut on her left arm. But she does not seem to be in pain.
"I was wondering how you came to acquire them," Optimus' eyes wandered to her scar.
"I was a test subject, what else? Blackmagnet the warrior died and I was actually compatible with the magnets," she tapped a clawed finger on her scar. "And what be you, Orion? Protecting earth with only four autobots by your side..."
"They are more than I could ask for, Darkfire,"
"You... really don't remember me, huh?" Darkfire smiled sadly as he looked into Optimus' optics, searching for something, a spark of recognition. But there was nothing. Optimus didn't answer, for once he did not know what to say. "I'd be happy to join you, Orion. That is, if you're willing to accept me,"
"I would be glad to welcome you as an ally, Darkfire. But alas, our trust in you must be built,"
"I know..."
Optimus transformed and drove back to base, closely followed by Darkfire.
so there goes my crappy story! Hope you enjoyed! Review?
