I apologize if the characters are OOC. I'm not perfect.
Chapter 2- By the Allspark
"Agh! Slag this storm!" groaned Ratchet, punching the main computer angrily.
Rafael, smiled slightly as Ratchet continued muttering. Today was Saturday, meaning Raf could come to the base in the morning as the others would sleep in or spend their mornings in their homes.
"Take it easy Ratchet, It's okay, I'm sure the power will come back on-" said Raf, pausing a bit as the entire base suddenly lit up and roared back to life for the third time today. "See?" said the boy, smiling a bit.
"It's not that! It's just every time I get the ground bridge ready with the co-ordinates, lightning strikes, there's a black out and I have to start all over again!" huffed the CMO, "If the Decepticon's get the relic before we do, they'll have an advantage over us! But because this hunk of junk keeps turning off the Decepticon's might already have the relic thank you very much you stupid piece of-"
"Uh, Ratchet?" said Raf, snapping his fingers in attempt to keep Ratchet out of his rant.
"Sorry," said Ratchet, slumping his shoulders.
"I backed up your work from your last attempt. Here, just refresh the data and the co-ordinates should appear again," said Raf, pointing to the screen as his lap-top gave a little *beep*
"You tell me this NOW?" growled Ratchet, raising an optic ridge.
"Ratchet. Is the Ground bridge up yet? It's been hours," said Arcee walking into the main room.
"Give me a minute...A-HA! A Decepticon is still there, and so is the relic! wait...hmm. Must be buried deep if its still at that location. Optimus!" called Ratchet, locking in the co-ordinates into the groundbridge.
"Please work," he grumbled, pulling the lever down.
A familiar swirl of light appeared before him.
"HA! Finally," sighed the CMO, turning his attention the approaching prime. "If you want to catch that relic, you'll have to go in now before the 'cons leave and the storm gets worse."
"Very well. Ratchet you're in charge of base while, Arcee will accompany me," said Optimus.
...
Optimus observed the landscape around him as he looked for the missing relic.
Trees knocked down, mud, cracked rocks, rain, puddles, wires, ripped armor thrown in various directions...More rain.
"Looks like a bull elephant just passed by here, look at all the bodies," said Arcee, kicking a Vehicon's off-lined body out of her way, "Seven in total."
"Relic is still active, keep your guard up...whatever cam through here could still pose a threat," said Optimus.
"Optimus, there seems to be one Decepticon signature still there-" said Ratchet through a com-link.
"We're on it," said Optimus, heading for the signal.
Lightning laced the sky as the rain seemed to ease slightly, a roar of thunder coming after.
"Optimus, did you hear that?" asked Arcee, tilting her helm slightly.
"It's called thunder Arcee-" said Ratchet through the Com-link.
"I know what thunder is Ratchet, I mean-" Arcee was interrupted by another crack of thunder.
"There, It sounded like a sob- or a gasp of some sort, maybe an injured 'con?" asked the Femme.
"It's just the wind Arcee," said Ratchet via Com-link in such a manner that one could practically hear his optics roll.
Optimus ignored the conversation and continued to follow the signal. Until he heard what Arcee was talking about...
In the distance, he could hear a soft whine, a sob of sorts...
In the distance, near some ripped armor was a half burnt, silver-blue sphere. Smoke and sparks emitted off the device.
"Optimus be careful, you're near a Decepticon signature as well as the relic," warned Ratchet, "Could be a trap."
"Not likely, if there was a 'con it would've attacked by now," said Arcee, looking around the area.
Raising an optic ridge, Optimus listened for some movement, only to hear more sobs and some squeaks.
"The relic looks damaged I suggest we...hey wait a sec. Optimus underneath the door frame!" warned Arcee, her right servo turning into a blaster as it aimed for a purple door frame. Probably was ripped off a Vehicon during a fight for the relic.
"What's going on Optimus?" asked Raf via Com-link.
"Hang on, I think we just spotted the Dec-...By the Allspark," said Optimus, his optics widening as he lifted the door frame slightly.
"What happened?" asked Ratchet, worry lacing his voice.
"Oh scrap," said Arcee, her jaw dropping.
Underneath the door frame in a failed attempt to shield itself from the rain, was a small...really small red and grey Sparkling, curled up and whimpering as it's large red optics stared up in fear at the prime, the apex armor firmly attached to the back of it's wings.
"Starscream?" gasped Arcee, staring down at the former SIC.
The little Seeker let out a sobbing squeal as lighting suddenly flashed with an immediate roar of thunder.
"We can't leave him here," said Optimus, kneeling down and picking the frightened sparkling up, causing Starscream to shriek loudly in fear.
"Ratchet, prepare the Med-bay, you are not going to believe what we just found," said the Autobot leader.
"What? Optimus you can't be serious," said Arcee, glaring at the little creature as it cried and clung to Optimus' chasis.
Optimus felt his spark clench as he looked down at the seeker. He was cold, wet, and obviously scared.
"It's not the Autobot thing to do, we cannot hinder ourselves from helping those in need, we can not leave him alone here. Ratchet, send in the ground bridge."
Starscream cried harder as lighting struck nearby, the thunder rumbled so loud he could practically feel it in the air.
"Hush, little one," said Optimus, shielding Starscream from the rain as a familiar swirling green light appeared, "We'll help you...I promise."
well that's it folks! Next chapter will be longer and cuter.
