Chapter 2

At the Autobots base Optimus made his way over to the control panel and started his daily job to scan for energon or any Decepticon signals. He moved his hand up to his optics and tried to rub the tiredness away from them since it was still early in the morning. He let a few yawns escape him before Ratchet walked out with two energon cubes. Ratchet made his way over and set the energon cube beside his old friend. "Don't you think we should be saving some more energon just in case something was to happen?" Optimus asked showing how much he worried about his troops as well about the war that had been going on for many vorns.

Ratchet let out a sigh and rolled his optics and looked at the Prime with a look. "Calm down Optimus, nothing bad will happen, Megatron is long dead and Starscream isn't the best, and not to mention no one else being strong enough or as influential as Megatron," Ratchet said as he shoved the energon cube towards the Prime. Ratchet then leaned against one of the smaller walls and glanced up at the Prime before taking a sip of his energon.

Optimus just put the energon cube to the side and let out a vent then glanced down at the control panel. "I know old friend yet there are so many things that we don't know happened around Cybertron during the Great War. What if there are some things they could use now on us that they have been saving?" Optimus said showing a bit of his old self with all the worry he was sharing with his old friend.

"You worry too much sometimes Optimus. Take a small break and go for a drive, pick a random spot to go to on the groundbridge controls and go relax. We will call you if anything goes wrong or if we need you," Ratchet said as he gently pushed his friend over towards the controls. Optimus tried to object but couldn't; before he knew it, he was through the groundbridge portal and within a vast forest.

He made his way to a mountain side that overlooked the valley of trees below. Optimus let out a sigh and sat down and crossed his legs over each other and leaned back onto his elbows. He let his frame and protoform relax which caused his body to creak due to all of the stress he has been under. He slowly closed his optics and smiled very softly.

Meanwhile…

Experiment 9201 hit the ground and slowly got up and scanned around the area looking from side to side. Her optics were still dull but slowly got color back into them as she found what she would guess was another Cybertronian. She activated her right arm blaster and walked through the forest and saw the tall mech laying there on the ground. She slowly stepped out of cover as she saw the Autobot insignia on his shoulder. "Stand up and put your hands in the air Autobot" She said fluently in Cybertronian.

Optimus, the mech, jumped up and looked at the blueish green femme that was around the same height of Ratchet.

He slowly lifted up his hands and tried to figure out which faction she was as well as who she was. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I mean no harm, please lower your weapon," Optimus said in fluent Cybertronian.

The femme walked towards the Autobot bot commander and was charging her blaster. Optimus took a couple small steps backwards and looked around for something to distract the femme. He kept his hands in the air and he retracted his battle mask over his face and ducked down as she shot a powerful blast at him. Optimus retracted his sword and swiped it at the femme. The femme blocked his blow with her blaster. The femme growled and swung up her leg and kicked the mech into the stomach. Optimus slid back a little and charged at the femme just as she retracted her dual sword blades and ran at the Autobot. The two clashed swords and swung at each other often missing or just clashing metal more than hitting each other.

Optimus got tired of this soon and let out a sigh and swung his sword at her side catching her off guard and cutting her side. She stumbled back and ran full force at the mech and slashed him in the side. Both retracted one of their swords and held their injured side. Optimus decided to use his comm and called for backup. "Optimus Prime to Ratchet, I could use some assistance immediately," Optimus said fast before the femme moved and attacked him once more.

Just in time Ratchet, Arcee, and Bulkhead ran through the ground bridge portal; as they ran they tried to tackle the femme. The femme turned back just inside and jumped up and landed on Bulkhead's shoulders, then hopped off of his and onto Ratchet's. Arcee tried to jump after her but the femme jumped off and Arcee clashed into Ratchet. She then activated her blasters and aimed as she charged them at the two laying on the ground. Bumblebee ran up and kicked her blasters up and she shot into the air. The femme deactivated her blasters and grabbed the scout and threw him to the ground. Optimus ran towards the femme and tacked her to the ground as the two of them fought Optimus grabbed some stasis cuffs and put them on the femme. Her optics went offline and closed as she fell limp due to being forced into stasis. Optimus groaned and held his injured side and went and helped his team. Optimus bent down and picked her up and looked over her for an insignia and couldn't find on. "Ratchet prepare someplace to keep her," Optimus ordered as they all made their way through the groundbridge. Optimus looked over the femme and recognized something about her as if she was modeled after someone. He shook his head. They made their into the base. Optimus and Ratchet took the femme and laid her in a safe area. They closed the door and set up the cameras.

"She could be a spy," Ratchet said since he was worried this would hurt the team more than anything else.

"A spy that only speaks in Cybertronian, no the speech wasn't taught during the war and only bots born into the Age and before learned of the language," Optimus explained. "Only time will tell my friend," he said as he and Ratchet moved back to the medical bay and got Optimus patched up.
