Sorry about the huge delay. But I have to figure out what is good and what is wrong. But finally, after weeks of thinking, I have finally decided the chapter. Warning, some will have major head explosion and eye popping.
5 minutes earlier
"…then Arachnid drilled to the ground. We were lucky to make it out alive."
"Wow, that sounds intense. More intense than when we first saw the cons."
Jack chuckles. "I bet Eva isn't going to get much from those woods."
"Optimus, you're not gonna believe this. I just pinpointed the location of the Decepticon war ship." Everyone turns to Ratchet.
"How did you penetrate their cloaking technology?"
"I didn't, I was experimenting with variable frequency when I stumbled upon it. Even still, there ship must be experiencing some kind of electromagnetic breach."
The Autobots were getting excited.
"With Megatron deceased and the element of surprise."
Bulkhead pounds his fists together. "We can cause some serious damage."
"Bumblebee to base, we need a ground bridge."
"Got it, Bumblebee." Ratchet walks over the bridge operator. "Wait till the rest of the team shows up then you can go crazy." He turns it on.
Miko leans on the rail. "Eva is going to be so excited."
The next thing everyone knew, Bee runs in the holding a pail-unconscious Eva.
Everyone was in shock but only Ratchet could speak up. "No…"
Eva was connected to life support with energon flowing through a tube.
Optimus sat next to her. "What happened?"
"Blackarachnia."
All the bots look from Eva with widen eyes. Raf spoke out. "Who's Blackarachnia?"
"Flameshot's mortal enemy back on Cybertron. She knew Flameshot's weaknesses and flaws. The only one in universe that could overpower Eva, and she had to be on earth."
Eva's eyes slowly opened. "Wha…what happened…"
Ratchet lowers his hand. "Easy Eva, you were struck with a virus that always puts your mother in shock for a few hours but it's taking a different effect in your CNA."
She leans back. "Blackarachnia." He nods. "How long will I be like…" She felt pain on her side. "I never felt pain physically before."
Optimus puts his hand next to her. "You're going to be fine Eva."
Eva lets out a cry as she her leg spasms on the berth. "My left foot is on fire."
"It's okay Eva, I'll get it." Jack takes off the boot and everyone jump back. It was glowing and had green veins pulsing.
"Is it that bad?" Eva chuckles as she breathes lightly.
"We have to do something. The only way to help her is…" Optimus looks up to Ratchet. "Do you still have the coordinates to the war ship?"
Ratchet nods. "Of course. Eva said that Knockout had information on the ship all about the Heart of Cybertron. If there is anything that can save her, it's that."
"We'll go and check it out."
Optimus caresses Eva's head. "Arcee… quickly." She nods then she and Bumblebee run through the bridge.
Eva turns to Jack. "I think we should get dad."
"What? Eva, we can't. What if…"
"What if I never get better? Please… he's been there since I was born. We need him… call him."
Jack nods and gets out his phone.
Henry was working out when his phone rang. He stops what he's doing then see the name it's under. "Jack?" He clears his throat then answers the phone. "Hey Jack, I haven't…" "Dad, we need your help Eva's been hurt." "Are you sure? Eva never gets hurt." "Until she met Blackarachnia." He felt time stop, not only did his son know about the Autobots, but his little ninja was injured for the first time. "Dad?" "Tell Ratchet I'm alone and ready to be bridge." "Okay." Jack hangs up and that concluded that he knew. The bridge open and Henry runs it. "What happened?"
"Dad up here." Jack waves his hand and Henry runs up the berth.
"Eva, I'm here."
She opens her eyes. "Hi dad, don't be mad at Jack."
"He's the least of my worries. How do you feel? And why are you dressed like a Winchester?"
Eva cries again as her hand does the same thing what her foot did. "Everything huuuuurts!"
"What did that spider do to you?"
Optimus looks at him. "You know about Blackarachnia?"
"Yeah, Adeline told me everything in her life." Henry lifts her hand. "Do you have a cure?"
"Arcee and Bumblebee are on the warship looking for one right now."
"If it's here, I don't see it." Eva hears Arcee's voice and turns to the main computer.
"Are you certain, Arcee?"
"Dad…" Henry turns to Eva. "I'm sorry."
"There's nothing to apologize for, I should have told you about the Autobots and Blackarachnia sooner. How much do you know?"
"Enough… but I finally put some pieces together about a certain something." Eva looks up at Optimus. "I think I figured it out."
There was a long pause. "It's Megatron."
"Huh?" Eva turns to the screen.
"He's alive."
Everyone was in shock and Eva's other arm was now with glowing veins and hurting.
"That's not possible."
"Well I'm staring right at him. Good news is, Megatron isn't exactly staring back." Eva felt Optimus tense so she reaches for his hand and rubs it. He looks down and sighs. "He's critical, hooked up to life support. … time to finish this once and for all."
Ratchet widens his eyes. "Wait, don't!"
"One good reason, fast."
"Megatron may be Eva's only hope for survival."
"What are you talking about?"
"Does he display brain-wave activity?"
A moment of silence till she answers. "Spiking hard. His sick mind still at work."
"Perfect. If there's anything that can help Eva, Megatron will know. You must enter his brain and find it." Eva's hair turns dark purple as she hears.
"Enter Megatron's brain? Ratchet, are you out of fragging mind?!"
"The Decepticon laboratory should contain all the equipment for need for a cortical psychic patch."
Eva tries to sit up but her father stopped her. "No, Eva you need to rest."
"The pain is getting stronger. You always taught me how to fight the pain."
"Yeah, emotionally, you never felt physical pain before. You have to relax."
Eva fully sits up. "I've dealt with a human army, zombies and Decepticons. I think I can handle a little…" She screams as feels the virus reach her belly.
"Time is one thing that Eva does not have! One of you must try this! We already lost Flameshot, we will not lose Evangeline too!"
"Ratchet, I would lay down my life for Eva, anytime anywhere, but a mind/body split?"
"I'll do it."
"You will?"
"It was my fault Eva got hurt. I let my guard down for one second. I will go through every inch of that mind until I find a way to cure Eva."
Eva did her best to sit up again. "Bee, all I can say is that it wasn't your fault and if that doesn't stop you, I wish you the best of luck." Raf walks up to her staring at the screen.
"Same here Bee." Eva and the two teens comfort Raf.
Eva feels pain again and lies down. "Jack, Miko…" she feels a spasm in arms. "Raf… if I don't…" feels a spasm in her legs. "Make it… I need…"
Jack walks to the other side of her. "Don't say it Eva. You're gonna make it. I know you will. We need you more than ever." Eva feels the virus head for her shoulders. "Don't worry, Bee will find the cure."
"Ratchet, we're ready."
"Initiate cortical psychic patch." Everyone looks at the screen. Optimus knew what Eva wanted and slowly picks her up making sure the energon cable wouldn't get tangled then walks over to the screen. "Communications downlink activated. This will allow us to see and hear everything Bumblebee does while within Megatron's subconscious mind."
Eva hangs on to Optimus's hand as she get's a closer look. "Where's that?"
"It looks like Kaon, the Decepticon capital back on Cybertron." Optimus keeps her steady and she starts to cough.
She ends up coughing up a blue substance. "Oh man, that's not good."
"I'm putting you down."
"No, I need to see this." 'I need to find more about my mom's murderer.'
"Quickly, Bumblebee. I know you're in unknown territory, but you must figure out where information might be filed in Megatron's mind."
Bee hears crying in the distance and follows it. He gasps when he sees a familiar bot. "Flameshot!" He runs to her.
Ratchet sighs. "Bumblebee, that is not Flameshot. But a figment of Megatron's mind. It cannot see or hear you." A tear leaves Eva's eye as sees her mother.
A loud evil laugh was heard in the distance. "My dear Flameshot, the Autobot armies are defeated. Join now while you have the chance."
Flameshot turns to Megatron. "I will never join you." She summons a blue staff. "As long energon still flows through my veins, you will never conquer this planet or any other."
"So be it." Megatron gets out his sword and charges at her. Flameshot runs at him but then Megatron slices through her and she turns to dust.
Eva falls back trying to hold back tear. "Is that how she died?"
"It's not a memory, Eva. We're seeing Kaon as Megatron has re-created it in his darkest dreams."
Bumblebee hides behind a bolder to avoid Megatron, but it turns into Optimus. "Megatron, your treachery ends here." He takes out his sword.
Megatron puts away his sword and aims his cannon at him. Bumblebee, without thinking, jumps in front of Optimus but the blast goes through him and hits Optimus.
"The Autobot scout." Megatron walks to him and gets out his sword. "The punishment for trespassing in my domain is your destruction!" He strikes but to his surprise, Bumblebee doesn't get harmed. "How can this be?!" Megatron keeps trying but all his attacks doesn't touch him.
"Megatron can't touch bee?" Raf was so relief.
"Because he's not a creation of Megatron's mind, Bumblebee is immune to his physical attack."
Megatron starts to circle around the scout. You're not wearing phase-displacement armor. Your eyes track my movements, so you're not a hologram. And I do not believe in spirits." Eva snickers and rolls her eyes. "So, tell me, scout, what are you?!"
"Megatron." They turn to see Optimus, along with Bee and Bulkhead battle ready.
Eva covers her mouth in shock. "Oops, doppelgangers."
"This is not good." Ratchet agreed.
"Um…" Bee runs over to the figment. "So weird." He waves his hand over his figment. "Yoo-hoo."
Megatron lets out an angry shout and shoots at them. "You are real. They were not." He lets a chuckle. "A cortical psychic patch. How unexpected."
Ratchet widens his eyes. "We've stirred Megatron from his oblivion. He's becoming self-aware."
Eva chuckles. "Whenever I see tornados, I know I'm in a dream."
Megatron looks around. "If this is my subconscious. What are you doing inside my head?!"
Eva's attention turns to Arcee comlink when she hears Knockout's voice. "Simply put, unaided, Megatron could remain in this deathless slumber forever."
"Our master would not have wanted to be seen this way, to stand idly by while he remains captive in his own body. It's not just." Eva felt her knuckles cringe as she hears Starscream's voice.
"Brain-wave activity - Not evidence of consciousness, but merely of an endless dream from which Megatron may never wake."
"Soundwave, we must face reality. Megatron is lost to us."
"The only honorable option would be to show him mercy."
"A simple throw of the switch."
"Quick, painless, compassionate."
"Ratchet, are you hearing this?" Arcee sounded shocked.
"If Megatron perishes, Bumblebee's mind will remain separated from his body - Forever."
Henry stands up. "We'll lose Bumblebee and Eva?! We have to warn him."
"Bumblebee, we are out of time!"
"Megatron, Evangeline needs your help."
"Evangeline, who's that?" He thinks for a minute. "The girl." He cackles. "I thought that she had a familiar source of power."
"She's dying, and you must know how we can help her."
"Maybe I do know how, but why should I help her? She's nothing but a mistake that Flameshot made."
Eva growls but sits down on Optimus's hand.
"Because like it or not, she's family to you. She is what is left of Flameshot. We all know you still cared for her, even on that fateful day."
The towers begin to fall and swirl around them. The scene changes to somewhere on earth.
Flashback
Flameshot, in the bike form, and Henry, around 21 yrs. and wearing something to hold something, were being chased by Megatron. "He's catching up, what do we do?"
"We're going to have to split. It's me who he wants, you and her hide while I fight."
"But you can't, you don't have…"
"It might have been a while since I've fought but I will do it for my family." She drives behind a boulder and transforms to fight Megatron. "It has finally come to this. Why can't you just leave me alone?"
"I will not stand by watching you throw away everything you worked for."
"No, I threw away everything you worked for. I finally found peace on this planet and will destroy anyone who gets away, especially you." Flameshot pulls out a sword.
"So be it." They begin to battle and it was about half a minute before he notices something. He throws her down. "The heart of Cybertron, you don't have it." He grabs her by the neck. "Where is it?"
"I would rather die than to tell you where the most powerful weapon in the universe is hiding. I also know that you will never kill me, you care too much."
Megatron growls then hears a little cry in the distance. He smiles. "I might not be able to kill you, I can kill your partner."
"No! Stay away from them!" Megatron drags her as he walks over to the boulder.
When he looks over, Henry pulls a blaster gun. "Stay back, or I'll shoot." No one could stop when a little wail was heard from Henry's arms.
Megatron widens his eyes then looks back at Flameshot. "You…mated with it?" He turns back only to find Henry bolting as fast as his legs can run. He throws her far and runs after them.
Henry kept on running feeling the thumps of Megatron catching up. "Don't worry Eva, we'll get out of here." He stopped when he stumbled on a cliff. "No."
An evil laugh was heard behind them. "And now finally…" Megatron gets his sword. "The heart of Cybertron…" He gets in strike position. "Will be mine!" As he strikes, Flameshot hops in front of them and blocks the attack. But now that she didn't have the power, she was vulnerable and was slashed. It was too late before Megatron knew what happen. "No… No!"
Flameshot fell to the ground. "Adeline!" Henry runs up to her and the child cries to loud, a bright explosion blew Megatron away from them.
End of flashback
Everyone at the base were shock at what they have seen. Jack looks at his dad. He was kneeling to the ground with tears in his eyes. "Oh Adeline, I'm so sorry."
Jack hugs him and the other kids joined in. Eva was still hurting from the virus, but it wasn't as painful as what she had just witnessed.
"After killing my own youngling, and let the her memory die without me there… Well played, scout." He shows a tablet in front of Bee. "The probable reason she's sick is because she didn't get the power from Primus. When Flameshot gained it, she said this chanting and the full power was pledged to her. Make her read and say this, and she should return to health." Bee was about to grab it, but he makes it disappear. "Not yet. And how am I to actually come face to face with her and continue the battle while I'm trapped here in a perpetual daydream? Once you release me from this prison, you will have the cure. You must guarantee my recovery, or Evangeline fades to dust."
Eva shakes her head. "Ratchet, can you rewind a bit?" Ratchet rewinds to the tablet. "I… I can read that."
"Arcee, we have the cure! Disconnect Bumblebee now!" Ratchet copies the inscription. "Here just say it, and you should return to health." Ratchet runs to the bridge.
Eva reads it and worry comes to her hair. Henry runs to the edge of the berth. "What are you waiting for Eva, say it."
She turns to her dad. "If I say this, I become one with the heart. If I say it, I can never be a normal human again. There's no going back."
Everyone looks at each other then Henry spoke up. "Eva… I always knew you had a purpose in life, and now you can make your own choices. Whatever happens, I will be there for you." Everyone nods.
"We agree too." Eva turns around to see Bee and Arcee just coming back from their mission.
"The choice is yours Eva."
Eva takes a deep breath then lets it out. "Okay, I'll do it." She turns to the inscription. The next thing she knew, she was speaking a different language. As she talks, she began to float and her glowing veins turn energon blue along with her hair. When she finished, she blinks and her eyes turn white then she falls.
Optimus catches her then sets her down on the berth still glowing. "Don't touch her, she is speaking with Primus."
Eva wakes up and sees that she is floating in darkness. "Wha… What is happening?"
"Evangeline Rose Darby."
She looks up to see a bright light shining above her. "Are you… P… Primus?"
"Yes, my descendent. I have heard your call and I'm glad you are okay."
Eva did nothing but puts her hands together. "Um… how do I um… show my respects to you?"
He chuckles and it felt like butterflies flowed through her. "I already feel your respect, youngling, and I know what you have done for the planet Earth. I also see what's in your spark and what the future holds for you. You will be the greatest wielder of the heart of Cybertron."
Eva was confused. "How will I be great? I'm half human."
"And that is why you will be great. You have a heart of a Cybertronian, but the soul of a human. Many cybertronians during the wars don't know how to feel as much as humans do. Humans know how to show their emotions… You have my blessings, good luck to you, young Eva."
The light gets brighter and Eva covers her eyes.
Eva wakes up and sees eyes looking at her. "Wow… that is a experience I will never forget."
"Steady, Eva." Henry helps her up. The kids hug her while the others start to clap seeing their second-in-command alive and well. "We're all glad that you are safe."
"Please, give the applause to my doctor… and my hero." Eva points to Ratchet then Bumblebee. As everyone cheers for them, Eva stares off into space to what she had just witnessed.
"Eva, are you okay?" She looks up at her partner.
Eva looks at her hand. "I think so. I don't feel any pain, but I don't feel normal." She gets distance from the humans and activates her powers. Instead of a glowing green, her hair was glowing energon blue. "Wow, that burning feeling is gone every time I activate my powers." She floats up in the air. "I don't have to get a running start every time I need to fly. This is great!" Eva flies around the room.
Ratchet tries to calm her down. "Eva, you just woke up."
Eva stops where she was. "That's right. Everyone, I just met Primus. The Primus." Everyone joins around her and start asking questions.
As Eva tells everyone what he's like, Bee gets a head ache knowing he isn't alone in his head.
She really has grown since the last time I saw her. It's too bad that we will have to battle in the future. But in order for that to happen, I must return to my body, which means taking complete and total control of yours.
Eva was siting in a medical bay while her father was standing ten feet from her. Ratchet was testing her with his flash light. "Okay, follow the light."
She does so. "It's kind of hard to follow when it's bigger than a car light shining in my eyes."
"Sorry almost done. There we go, wouldn't advise anything strenuous, but it appears that you have fully recover from the virus."
Eva stands up dusting herself. "Thanks to your medical experience, Ratchet." She walks over to her dad.
"But it was Bee who traveled into unknown territory to locate the cure."
"Not something I hope won't be doing again."
Arcee chuckled. "Lucky for us, Megatron was still alive."
"Say wha…?"
"Yeah, I actually said that."
"What matters is that you are on the mend, Eva, while Megatron…"
"Is probably pushing lug nuts."
"Bee's right. Did my best to finish Megatron's story. Just couldn't stick around long enough to see how it ended."
Eva shows a calm smile. "It's okay Arcee. Even if Megatron is still alive, he's probably still in that coma, and probably will be for all eternity." She turns to Bee as he walks away and her hair turns dark purple.
Optimus notices. "Are you okay?"
"I don't know for sure, but I think something's wrong with Bee." Eva flies off the med bay. "Well I'm going to head for my place." Optimus grabs her before she any farther. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"You're not going anywhere Eva. We don't know what has happened to you and we don't if it made a permanent damages to you. You will remain in the base taking it easy until we are sure you are safe."
Eva crosses her arm with light green hair. "Really, we're gonna do this?" She sees the serious faces on Him and Ratchet. "Fine, but that will mean I'm gonna let it out."
"Let out what?"
"My true self." She hops from his hand to next to her dad. "Also, I hope you don't mind if Randy stays with us. Wherever I stay, the little one must be with me." All the bots widen their eyes. "So dad, I'm going to give you a list of stuff and give a temporary password. Once you bring the stuff, we'll move it to the lab."
Henry widens his eyes. "The lab? That's where you usually go here? You guys didn't tell her about the room?"
Eva looks at her dad then the bots. "What room?"
"We wanted to tell her, but she usually bolts to the lab we never got the chance, and when we do, we forget."
Eva gets excited. "So, where is the room?"
One minute later
Doors open and Eva's eyes widen. The room looked liked the 80s barfed in it. Animal patterns and checkers were painted of the walls with different colors. Records, rock wigs, Rubik cubes, practically everything Eva could think of that was 80s was there… and more.
"Whoa… this is… so retro… I LOVE IT!" Eva flew around the place. "When you said mother loved music, you meant. Whoa that's a rare Michael Jackson gold record. Oh my gosh, that's 1986 Rocking KISS wig. I never thought I would see one like this, it even has the certificate." She gasps and she floats over to a frame then floats down to her dad. "Is this what I think it is?"
Henry looks at the frame and smiles at the ticket stubs in the frame. "Yep, those are the exact ticket stubs of the Michael Jackson Concert where your mother and I shared our first kiss." He grabs it. "It took three years to have the guts to kiss her, who knew that we were chosen together by destiny."
Eva widens her eyes. She forgot to tell her father about destiny linking her to a Decepticon. She'll have to tell him later. Something then catches her eye. Eva flies over to a case then opens it. "Is this Rose?"
Henry walks over to Eva and sees an old saxophone. "Your mother's instrument. The sax where you got your middle name. I think I have cassette tapes around here of her and me playing somewhere. We'll look later I need that list of stuff to bring."
"Oops, sorry." Eva flew out the door. She flies into Bee. "Oh sorry Bee, didn't see you there." He turns to the room. "So many memories?"
"Yeah, you have no idea." Eva flies over Bee. He watches her fly down the hall then Megatron popped in. "Even though she's human, she reminds me so much of her carrier."
The children returned from their school and gathered around the couch.
"So now you are going stay with them? I'm so jealous!"
"Don't be, I'm practically on lockdown till we find out what I can and can't do. The only thing I like about this is that I'm going to stay where my dad slept."
Jack raises an eyebrow. "The lab?"
"No, turns out there's a room that looked like an 80s after party. There's a whole studio in there."
"Sweet, I can move my guitar in there."
"No way Miko, you know I'm not a metal fan." Eva widens her eyes and stands up. "Oh that reminds me. I've been experimenting with my staff and you are not gonna believe this." She summon her staff, which was now energon blue, and pretends it was a guitar then after the final cord it, turns into an actual guitar.
"Whoa!" The kids clapped.
Miko walks up to her. "Does it work?"
"Let's find out." Eva starts playing a rock song. The kids move to music.
I know I'm not that tall
I know I'm not that smart
But let me drive my bike into your heart
Let me drive my bike into your heart
Jack laughs because he knows this song so he joins his sister.
I know I'm not that rich
I'm tryin' to get my start
So let me drive my bike into your heart
Let me drive my bike into your heart
Henry just enters the base with all the stuff Eva needs and hears someone playing one of his songs.
And if we look out of place
Well baby that's okay
I'll drive us into outer space
where we can't hear what people say
Henry knew his daughter loved his songs, but he never knew Jack knew his songs.
I know I don't have a plan
I'm working out that part
All I got is my bike and a fan
So let me drive my bike into your heart
Let me drive my bike into your heart
Let me drive my bike into your heart
Miko and Raf clap. "That was so cool! Where did you learn that song?"
Eva smiles. "It was written by the most awesome guitarist of all time."
"You're too kind, Eva." Everyone looks down to the first floor to see Henry.
"Dad!" Eva's guitar fades away then she flies down and hugs him. She looks up to the others. "He taught me everything I know about guitars."
"I didn't teach how to summon one." Eva laughs then summons her guitar then shows it to him. "Amazing, you made this?"
"Yes, I'm familiar with everything about the guitar that I end up creating one with my staff. So technically it is because of you I able to create one." As her dad looks over the guitar, she feels eyes on her and she turns to the hallway and sees Bee looking at her. "Hi Bee, wanna join us?" He just walks away. "Okay, talk to you later." Her hair turns blue.
"Something wrong Eva?"
"I don't know. I thought Bee and I had mended our ways, but he's been avoiding me again. I wonder if something happened back in Megatron's mind."
"It's probably me." Eva looks at her dad. "Well you see… we should probably talk in the room."
Raf walks up to them. "If it's about Bee, I need to know."
Jack walks next to him. "And if it's about my sister, I need to know."
Miko walks up to him. "I don't have an excuse, but I wanna know."
Henry sighs as he shakes his head. "Fine, back in the days of Adeline, Bee had a small crush on her." Eva's hair turns white.
Miko and Raf were confused. "Who's Adeline?"
"AKA Flameshot. Adeline was her human name." Miko and Raf nod in understanding. "The first year me and her were dating, he was always shooting a glare at me when he could. Since he was her partner in the field, he had an advantage to hang out with her. For three years we fought for her attention, then everything changed when we found out she was pregnant with my little ninja." He rubs Eva hair. Eva laughs as she shoos her dad's hand. "When ran off I noticed the look on his face. Not be mean, but it was the face of defeat. I haven't seen Bee till the mission back on the train. And with me coming to the base more often, I think I've been bringing bad memories to him, and he probably blames me for her death."
Eva hugs him. "Dad, it wasn't not your fault, and I'm sure that Bee doesn't think that it was your fault too. In fact, I'm gonna go talk to him right now."
As she was about to take off, Henry grabs her hand. "You don't have to do this."
"I've been wanting to talk to him about something anyway. You and the others get the stuff and take them back to the 80s." She flies off toward Bee's direction.
Henry chuckles as he shakes his head slowly.
Eva looks around searching for her comrade. She decides to use her mind reading powers to locate him. '…Yeah, yeah, yeah owwowwow YEAH!…" "Nope, that's Bulkhead." '…98, 99, 100. Now for right leg. 1, 2, 3…' "Nope, Arcee's really does work out." '…do I connect to the U or the double U. Why can't Earthlings and Autobots use the same alphabet?...' "Wow, I gotta take advantage of that with Ratchet." '… … If I am to return to my body, I must first restore its functionality.' "Yikes!" She ends up flinging to the ceiling. "Please tell me that wasn't who I thought it was. Megatron… here… in our base. I should investigate." She flies down the hall searching for the voice. 'How did I escape on high emission?' As she follows the voice, she sees a shadow a around the corner. 'Of course, dark energon.' When she look around the corner, her eyes widen as she looks a Bee. 'No, it couldn't be him.' 'Starscream.' She gasps then covers her mouth. As Bee turns around, she flew to the ceiling hoping he wouldn't look up. He didn't see her then walks on. As soon as he get enough distant, she lets out a sigh. 'What am I going to do? If I try to save Bee, who knows what Megatron do.'
The next day, Eva heads for the training arena to practice; although, she's been a little distracted. 'I gotta think of something. Some day, Bee will go out and Megatron will know where the location of the base. I have to find a way to get Megatron out without hurting Bee.' She hears steps at the door and shivers ran down her spine when she sees Bee. "Um, hi Bee… how are you?"
"I am doing fine, thank you. Where are the others?"
"Bulkhead and Arcee are dropping off the kids at school, and Optimus and Ratchet are going over some top secret thing."
Bee's eyes began to shirk. 'Then no one will bother us when I tear you apart.'
Eva's eyes widen as Bee runs toward her. She summons her staff and blocks his attack then flings him across the room. "I thought I heard you in the base. Let him go."
'You know I won't and I know you won't kill your comrade.'
"I can read deeply into his mind and he is pleading to do whatever it takes to put you out. I was taught how to cause enemies pain or black them out without actually killing them."
'Bring it, youngling.'
Eva runs at him and starts shooting at him with her staff but he dodges all of them. 'don't worry Bee, I'll save you' She charges at him.
Mean while
A large red bot was on the main screen. "And that is what my team and I have been doing the past few months."
"Glad to see the group are keeping their cover and learning so much of Earth, Heatwave. That will be all for now, Rescue Bots, good luck."The red bot disappears from the screen.
"Who knew that a mere human can cause so much damage other than Silas? So when are we going to tell Fowler about Eva?"
Optimus turns to Ratchet. "Just as soon as we find out more about her conditions."
BOOM!
"What was that?"
"It sounds like it came from the training hall."
Optimus widens his eyes. "Eva's in there." They hurry to the training hall.
Back to the battle
Eva blocks an attack then makes a diversion by throwing her staff at him. 'Ha fool!' Eva then activates a new power in her hand and shocks him.
"Never let your guard down." He falls back and faints.
Optimus and Ratchet enter the room. "We heard noise, Eva are you…?" They saw Bee on the ground and Eva's hand still glowing blue. "Eva?"
Eva turns to them in shock then shakes her hand. "Guys I…"
Ratchet runs to Bee. "He's okay, just unconscious."
"Eva, what happened?"
Eva looks at Bee. "That…wasn't Bee. I saw Megatron's face in him."
Ratchet looks at Optimus then at Eva. "You're probably still recovering from trauma. It's not your fault, this is why we take precautions. Optimus, help me get Bee to the medical bay. Eva wait for us there."
They thought she was crazy and she doesn't blame them. She doesn't complain and flies over to the medical bay.
Rafael joins them later because he didn't make it to school. "What happened?"
"It's my fault Raf." He turns to Eva. "I was in a state. Bee got in the way and I accidentally shocked him." Optimus notices her hair tips were turning light green.
The head screen begin to beep then Fowler's face appears. "Prime, you spot any Decepticons wearing hula skirts lately ?"
Eva snickers. "Why would even think that?"
"Cause I was hoping you'd have a lead on the cons that busted into the Kauai Naval Observatory. The place looked like it was hit by an army of wrecking balls."
Arcee was confused. "Why would 'cons break in to an observatory?"
"Does the Hoit-Niogosian ring any bells?"
"Are you talking about that space telescope?"
Fowler nods. "As of last night, missing its primary lens."
"It's difficult to guess Starscream's intent without know where the lens has been taken."
"Good thing the lens has a tracking device." Fowler switches to a world map showing where the lens is.
Arcee did not like where it was. "The Artic? Great, another chance to freeze our spark plugs off."
"Tell me about it. I hate the frozen waste land as much as you."
The maps was zoomed in and Bulkhead whistles. "That's an ND-7 class. Biggest unminable energon deposit there is."
Optimus realizes Starscream's plan. "Unminable, until Starscream melts his way down to it."
Arcee finishes his realization. "With the help of the lens."
"Melting a glacier that size would cause sea levels to rise and demolish coastal cities."
Optimus makes a serious face. "We'll be right on it." Fowler nods then the screen turns off.
Eva stretches then starts to fly. "Well I better get my winter coat."
"Oh no you don't." Ratchet grabs her. "You stay here. After what happened to Bumblebee, I won't have you endanger the rest of the team out in the field."
Eva rolls her eyes. "Fine, I hate snow anyway." She flies from his hand and sits on the couch. "Give a big punch to Knockout's face for me, for lying about trying to save me."
The bots got ready then headed through the ground bridge.
After a few minutes Eva looks from the TV to Raf talking to Bee, still out cold. How was she going to tell him that Bee was mind controlled by the evil warlord? Especially after shocking Bee to unconsciousness in the first place. "Um… Raf?" He turns to her. "You know he can't actually here you, right? How about I bridge you back to your home with your family?"
"Because I told Bee I would stay, he's family too."
Eva smiles and flies over to him. "I'm glad you two have shared this kind of bond. Not only does Bee have your back, you have his as well." She looks at Bee and her hair turns blue.
Raf notices and hugs her. "It was an accident, you wouldn't purposely hit Bee, would you?"
She looks down at him. "No… I wouldn't."
Ratchet looks at them then he notices the light green tips in her hair. He starts to wonder what really happened in the training hall. He picks up a random thing then turns to them. "Guys, I'm going the supply vault to see if I can find parts to repair this. You know what that means?"
"Don't touch anything." They knew how Ratchet felt when it comes to touching his things.
Ratchet walks down the hallway to find the spare computer. Once he finds it, he looks into the security cameras. He sees the training hall where Eva was training by herself. He watches Bumblebee looking around then his eyes change and he runs towards her. Ratchet pauses it. "Bumblebee attacked her first. Eva was right."
Mean while
Eva was watching TV when a vision starts to pop in her mind.
Bumblebee walks toward from the ground bridge with Dark energon in his hand then he walks toward Raf.
The vision ends but Eva knew what to do. "Raf, get up here!"
"In a minute, I'm going to show Bee this laptop I'm saving for." Eva's turn to Bee and his eyes start to light up. Eva didn't think twice before using her powers to levitate Raf to the second floor. "Hey what are you doing?" They hear a hissing sound then Bee gets up from the Medical bay. "Bee, you're okay." Bee ignores him and walks over the ground bridge panel. He sets in coordinates then walks through the ground bridge. "Bumblebee, where are you going?"
Ratchet enters in the room just seeing what is happening. "What did you do?"
"Nothing, Bee just got up…"
"He was in power-down. Where does he think he's off to?" He shuts down the ground bridge then see previous coordinates. "These are the coordinates for the site of our previous battle with Megatron's undead."
"Oh man, this isn't good."
"Maybe we should call Optimus."
Ratchet shakes his head. "Optimus is busy preventing a polar ice cap from melting. We need to handle this on our own." He turns on the ground bridge. But before he could enter, Bee enters in. "Bumblebee? What have you been doing?" Ratchet stops him from walking any further then sees the dark energon in his hand. "Dark energon?" Before he could question anything else, Bee punches him across the room.
"Bee, what are you doing?" Bee walks up to the humans.
Eva steps in front of Raf. "Leave him alone. It's me you want."
He holds out his hand. 'Come with me and the boy lives.' Eva turns to Raf then turns to Bee then hops in his hand.
"Bumblebee, Please. I know you're in there."
"Raf, get back." Bee walks to the ground bridge then runs in holding the dark energon and Eva. Once they were in, they run into cons. Bee throws Eva under the cons then starts to beat them up. Once he was done he picks her up and starts walking down the halls. "Where are you taking me?!" When he didn't respond, she throws a small fire ball at his face.
He chuckles in the mind. 'You really do know how to use your powers, youngling. You really are just like Flameshot.'
"You have no right to speak her name."
'I just have the right as you do. I mean after, I am…"
"Her sire." He stops walking and turns to her.
'you know.'
"For a while, yes." He continues till me makes it to the medical wings where Megatron's body laid. "Wow, now that I look at it, how did Optimus end up with someone like you?"
'Orion Pax… that Autobot leader is not my zing.' He puts her in a glass container, turns on an orange light inside of it then walks to the corpse. 'When Orion accepted the Matrix… our connection… was destroyed. I never got to know my sparkling until she was older.'
What Eva saw in his mind next was shocking. Before she could question it, she began to feel weak and slid down the glass. "What… did you do to me?"
'Turns out, there is a rare crystal that if under direct light can actually harm Flameshot. If you hadn't accepted the terms, the light wouldn't be working on you.' He puts the patch on his head. 'So… thank you for making your demise so much easier.'
Before Eva could say anything else she heard steps running into the room.
"Ratchet, don't hurt Bumblebee!" Eva sees Raf in the corner.
"That's not Bumblebee!" Ratchet tries to fight him but he get launched to the room.
Eva knocks on the glass to get Raf's attention. He looks at her. "Eva!"
"Help… me…"
Raf looks around then finds a metal solid object. "Watch out!" He throws it at the glass.
Once it shatters, Eva covers her eyes then lands on the ground. But not before a piece of glass scratches her face. "Ow."
"Eva, are you okay?"
She turns to Raf. "Does it look bad?" Raf shakes his head. "Then I should be good."
"We have to stop him." Eva tries to stop him. "Bumblebee, no! Remember who you are! Remember me! I know you always listen to me no matter what."
Bee, the real Bee, tries to take dominance of his mind. "Raf… is that you?"
"That's right, Bee. It's me."
Eva walks to Raf while looking at Bee. "Bee is trying to fight him for control, but Megatron is too powerful."
Raf looks up at her. "You have mind powers, can you help him?"
"I made a vow to never use mind control again…" Bee groans in pain and falls down. "But I broke that promise once." She concentrates on Bee, then as her eyes turn white, she enters his mind. "I see Bee's aura… he trying to penetrate the shield Megatron built around the mind. Raf, keep talking to him."
Raf runs to Bee's arm. "Come on, Bee. You can do it." But he hits Raf and Eva across the room. "Eva, are you okay?"
"I'm still linked. I'm trying to give Bee more power."
As the kids were distracting him, Ratchet goes to the corpse and unplugs it. "Farewell, Megatron." But he get tossed again to the wall.
"Come Bee, you can…" Her eyes widen in shock. She had just saw something terrible. Then she screams as she was blasted out of Bee's mind and faints to the ground.
"Eva!" Raf begins to shake her. "Come Eva, wake up!"
As Raf tries to wake her, Bee looks at Eva on the ground. 'The power that I have will make you have more pain then this, youngling.' The dark energon shard was placed in the corpse. Then Megatron exits Bee's mind and into his own.
Eva finally wakes up. Raf is relieved. "Are you okay?"
She looks at the corpse and her hair turns light purple as the red open. She gets up and pushes Raf behind her.
Cons show up as Megatron stands up from medical bay. "Decepticons, your rightful lord and master has returned!" Eva was too in shock to do anything. Megatron turns to her. "Until we meet again, youngling. Finish these pests! I got my own extermination to perform." As he leaves the room, the Decepticons began to shoot at them.
Eva snaps out of it then grabs Raf and flies off with Ratchet and Bee. "Wow, I forgot how tall he was." Then a vision comes to her mind.
Optimus was blasted from the top of the ship and onto the snow below. Then Starscream flies at him with a missile ready to launch.
Eva shakes her head. "Oh no."
Ratchet turns to her. "What is it?"
"Optimus is in trouble. We have to help him." Eva tries to activate her teleport the team. "Come on."
"Eva, don't push your powers, you might damage yourself." Then a rumble shook the entire ship. "Get Raf out of here."
"I'm not leaving you two alone on this ship." But it was too late. The weapon exploded and team huddled together. After the explosion was cleared, the team was no longer on the ship and on the ground surrounded by a blue bubble. "Whoa, this is a new one." Eva hears a jet flying over their head and deactivates the bubble then flies in the air. She activates her staff and blasts Starscream away from Optimus.
"OW!" Starscream falls to the ground and turns back into a bot. Eva flies past Optimus then lands in front of Starscream. "You!"
"Your plan has been vanquished. Leave while you still have dignity and life."
"The Decepticon cause will not rest until this planet is rightfully ours." He begins blasting her but she deflects it. "You think you are all powerful, but you are small, you are young, and more importantly, you're just a human."
Eva stops to take a breath. "That's right!" She run fast at him then jumps at his face. "I am a Human!" She punches him hard in the face and he falls back. "And that's what going to make a better holder of the Heart. Primus himself told me so." Before she could say anything else, she saw a familiar jet then jets out of there.
Starscream stands up and sees her flee. "That's right, you better run away! No one will face the true terror of Lord Starscream!"
Megatron transforms and lands behind him. "Lord Starscream?" Starscream begins to shiver. "That's not a title I would recommend."
Eva flies over to Optimus. "Optimus, are you o… OUCH! FRAG, THAT'S HOT!" She shakes her hand from touching Optimus's shoulder. "That light must still have its affect on me."
"What are you talking about? How did you get here?"
"Long story."
"A very complicated." Everyone turns to Ratchet and Bee with Raf on his shoulder.
Eva senses Starscream flying away then she uses her staff to make a random blast at him making fall back to the ground. Everyone stares at her. "What, he deserved it." She activates a bubble around the team.
Optimus gets curious. "What are you doing?"
"Something awesome." She then teleports the team out of the artic.
Jack, Miko and Henry were at the base on the second floor. They were surprised when the team just popped out of no where.
Henry runs down Eva. "What happened? Is that a scratch?"
"I'm fine, dad. Something crazy just happened and I have to tell you all."
One explanation later
Ratchet was checking over Bumblebee while the team was listening to what happened. "…I was able to get them and myself out of the ship and to the ground. I charged at Starscream and you guys saw the rest."
"Eva, we're so sorry we didn't believe you when you said you saw Megatron's face in Bee."
"It's okay, partner, I almost didn't believe me." She flies over to Ratchet. "How is he?"
"Just finishing up. Everything's back to normal." Ratchet releases be from the bay.
"Thanks Ratchet."
"Well, normal for Bumblebee."
Eva flies over to Bee. "I am sorry for what I did to you."
"Eva, you did what you had to do. I'm grateful for what you did. If it weren't for you, I would have been in a vegetated state like Megatron was."
Optimus holds out his hand to Eva and she sits in it. "Eva, for now on if you think there's a problem with one of our own, you tell us. Don't let the burden weigh you down."
Eva looks around at the team. "Okay, and I won't take over anyone's mind unless it's an emergency." As Bee began to talk to Raf, Eva flies up Optimus shoulder. "Can we somewhere private?"
He nods and walk to the halls. Henry notices this. "Is something wrong? Should I be there?"
"It's okay, dad, we just need to talk about a few experiences considering Megatron."
Henry realizes what is going on and nods. He walks over to where the kids are.
"Henry, I heard what you said about Flameshot. I don't blame you for death. We cool?"
Henry smiles and nods. "Yeah, we cool."
Mean while
Optimus walks in the lab and puts Eva on the counter. "Are you Okay? What did you see in his mind?"
"First, I saw something surprising, then I saw something horrifying."
"Something tells me you want to talk about the surprising thing first."
She nods. "I saw a memory of Megatron meeting mom for the first time in the battle field. He was not only shocked he had a sparkling, but he saw how much she was like him. But that was just his messed up mind, right?
Optimus sighs. "When I was Orion Pax, Megatronus wasn't always the evil lord. He was once a respected gladiator. Flameshot was a reminder of his golden days. She fought like a gladiator to protect me when I down. After that day, he was trying to get Flameshot to join the Decepticons. Until, he got he wanted and kidnapped her, with the help of Elita-1." Eva puts her hand on his. "Anyway, what is the horrifying thing you saw."
Eva's hair turned blue and a tear falls from her face. "I don't want to believe this. It's too much. My mom would never do this to the planet." Optimus widens his eyes then looks away. Eva looks up at him. "You know what I'm talking about. Please tell it's a lie and Megatron is just messing with my head."
Optimus sighs then picks her up. "I'm afraid it's true. Flameshot… caused the extinction of Cybertron."
Eva's hair turns white as her eyes widen and her hands cover her mouth.
