A virus had spread...and Optimus went to stop it...
Optimus Prime P.O.V
I ran as fast as I can. Magnus was hurting so I have to help him.
"Come on…brother…let's go" I said
I lifted him up and we all left running. A virus was spread around the factory where we were at. They are sealing the factory. We have little time to escape.
Everyone tried running to the exit.
"Come hurry up!" I yelled
I have no idea what happen. The things they work on are sealed. I think someone must have dropped them; or mistakenly open the seal.
The alarm went on; warning everyone to get out.
"Prime…what do we do?" asked Ratchet
"Right now…we have to evacuate…" I said "Help others if you can…" He nodded and ran for it. I held on to Magnus as we ran for it.
Arcee was reading a book at the house. She heard lots of commotion; and lots of yelling. Arcee then gasps as she heard the alarm.
"Optimus" she whispered as she ran towards the factory. People were running towards the place to help the others.
Arcee grabbed someone's arm.
"What is happening?" she asked scared
"A virus just spread…a deadly one…they have to evacuate before the factory seals"
"But…" she cries out "Optimus…"
She ran towards it but was stopped by the guards. "No one is allowed to enter…it's a danger zone…"
"No…my husband is in there!" she cried out
Magnus and I tried our best the doors are locking. Magnus managed to run and we ran for it.
"We don't have much time" I yelled
The doors are slowly sealing now. We made it to the exit and we ran for it. The factory sounds the alarm.
The shield started forming and was heading down; around the factory. People managed to make it. We ran for it…the shield is going down quickly. The alarm kept on sounding.
"Optimus!" yelled Arcee
"Arcee…get back" I yelled
"Baby…hurry" yelled Arcee
The shield was inches to the ground. Magnus slide; and slide along with him. Magnus barely makes it as I was stuck behind the shield.
"NOO!" yelled Arcee
"Brother…" yelled Magnus as he tried to break it. "NO…"
I went to my knees and stared at Magnus.
"No…" Magnus kept on punching it. Arcee came along and kept on hitting with all her force. I looked around; lots of workers didn't make it.
"Leave me…it won't break" I said
"No…brother…I will not…" yelled Magnus
"Please…"
"No…Optimus we will get you out…there's got to be a way" cried Arcee
"It's no use…the virus will spread…I don't want to get ya'll sick…" I said
Magnus tried his best to break a piece but he was shot down by the guards.
"Brother I can't leave you…you have never left me…" Magnus cried as he got up to his knees; he was hurting.
I placed my forehead on the glass shield and Magnus did the same. He was crying now.
"I need you"
Arcee joined in. "You can't leave me…"
"There's got to be another way" I said.
Arcee placed her hands on the shield and I placed it over hers.
"I love you Arcee..." I said. She shakes her head. "I love you..."
Magnus started hitting the shield again.
"Brother...stop...you are only hurting yourself" I yelled
"I can't..." he cried "I can't"
I cried along with them. We sat there for a long while.
"You guys will live strong for me"
I looked at the other bots that were on my side. They were kneeling down with their families on the other side. I then realized something.
"There is…a way" I said
I got up and ran back in.
"NO OPTIMUS" yelled Magnus
"Optimus…NO!"
I ran back trying my best to go through the sealed doors. I broke each of them. I went to the laboratory.
A red smoke was arising quickly. I opened it and the red smoke hits me. I coughed a little and grabbed the container.
I twisted it and the red smoke started going in. I coughed and I got the rest. I placed one of the containers on the air conditioner and started vacuuming. The red smoke started disappearing and went back to the seal containers.
I stopped it. The virus was back in. My spark was hurting now. The virus got to me. It was tearing me inside out.
The alarm went off and the shield open slowly. The bots came running to their families. Magnus and Arcee ran inside.
"Brother…" he yelled
One of the medics stopped him. Arcee went passed them and ran to Optimus. I was dizzy…I couldn't feel anything. I fell to my knees and went straight down.
"Optimus…" I heard.
"Arcee…" I groaned
She hears and stands next to the door. "Optimus…"
"Don't go near him" yelled one medic
"No…let me go…" Arcee yelled
"He has the virus…he is infected" said the medic
I groaned in pain as my spark was slowly running. Arcee was pushed back and the medics with mask and suites helped me up.
Magnus ran in but was tackled down.
"He is infected we can't let anyone touch him…"
I can feel the metal being rusted. I coughed out some energon. I was hurting.
Arcee was crying as she was holding on to Magnus.
Arcee P.O.V
He was lying on the berth. He was strapped in with every support they have. He was breathing slowly. The room is locked; no one is allowed to go in unless they have those suits.
Magnus and I wore them and went inside to him.
"Optimus…" I whispered
He just slowly opens his optics. "Arcee…he moans…"
"How are you feeling?" I asked
"Not well…" he answered "I can't feel anything…"
A tear fell down. I held his hand tightly.
"You save all those people" I whispered
"That's what Primes do…" he said
"But a Prime can't leave us" I cried
"Brother…remember when we were kids…you promised you will be by my side…forever"
"Yes…I still am…"
"You have to get better…" Magnus cried
"It's a virus Magnus…" said Optimus "But I'm still fighting for you two…"
Magnus kneels down and held Optimus hand. "Don't leave my brother…"
I cried out. "Optimus…you will get well soon…"
I stayed with him; every single day. I hadn't move for a long while. I yawned as I see his spark glowing. It was very bright.
I shielded my eyes. The light slowly faded and I looked at Optimus. His color came to normal. He was breathing normal.
"Arcee…" he smiled
I smiled in relief. He is all better now. The matrix of leadership helped him. I hugged him tight. I got up and took off my mask.
"Arcee…what are you doing?" yelled the medic.
I took it off and smiled. Optimus sits up and kisses me.
"I'm so glad you're okay" I whispered
"I'm fine…" he said with a smile.
I hugged him tight. Magnus runs in and hugs Optimus; pushing us both towards the bed.
"Brother…" he cried
We all stayed in this position in a very long time.
