"We should be attacking them."
"All in good time."
Scarlet optics glared at their new 'leader'. Starscream was now running the Decepticons. And he was being him. A smart aft glitch.
"Lord Megatron would have already attacked the Autobots. Before they got more reinforcements."
Barricade was shot before he could say another word.
"If you EVER mention that name again. I will kill you personally."
A low chuckle came from the darkness around the only two 'cons left. "Why Starscream, you wouldn't kill anyone. That is how much of a failure you are. After all, Barricade was right, Megatron would have attacked the Autobots by now. Attacked and beaten, the Autobots."
Everything froze. Starscream did not move from his spot. At least, until Megatron himself stepped out of the shadows.
"And I would have already built a base. Not hide in warehouses. Call more Decepticons to earth, killed you…" He smiled, an evil smile that could send chills down your spine. "Which I will do, if you do not start showing some respect."
Starscream jumped to Megatron's side. "I would never disrespect your name, Almighty Lord Megatron. You are the best leader the Decepticons has ever had, none can match your strength. Why…"
"Silence."
"As you wish, Lord Megatron."
Celestia looked around and then turned to the others. "Ratchet, I don't want anybody overhearing. Is there anyway that we can soundproof the room?"
Ratchet nodded at her and pressed a few buttons on the door. The door slid shut and sealed tight. A buzzing sound filled the room, then slowly got quieter.
"Now, what's wrong?"
Celestia looked at Optimus, then at the others. "When Firestarter and I brought Jazz back, we brought someone else back to…"
"Wait a minute, how did you bring Jazz back?"
A laugh came from behind the others, causing them all to turn to Firestarter. Who was glowing green, and her optics were golden. "That would be me." Said a smug voice that was completely different from Firestarter's. "I am Chi. The Allspark. With the help of the last prime, thanks to the fact that she's connected to the creation matrix and the pit, I brought back two that died."
"Which is what I'm getting to. Just hush Ms. Chi." Celestia growled at the Allspark. "As I was saying, we brought two mechs back. One Autobot, and one…Decepticon. I fear that we brought back the last mech that was killed on either side. Jazz, and…Megatron."
Sam felt like a truck had hit him, if Megatron was back…then… "Wait, that means that…"
"Yes Sam. The war will begin again. And this time, it will be on earth. The humans will be pulled into it. Something that we do not wish to happen." Celestia looked at her feet. "I apologize for not telling you the moment I found out, but if the others found out…"
"It would create a panic. Especially if the humans found out."
"That is why I only wished to tell Sam. Because you can be sure that they will go after him first. After all, he was the one to shove the Allspark into Megatron's spark, and kill him."
"Which I resent thank you very much." Chi interjected.
"Shut-up Allspark, you are lucky that I do not force you into a different body. One that doesn't talk." Celestia growled again. She was already fed up with the Allspark. "I do not take well to anybody messing with my sister's body or head. So I would just go into a corner of her mind and don't come back out for several joors."
"You could not force me out even if I wanted to go." Chi challenged.
"You wanna try it? See how far I get?"
"That is enough. Chi, if you would please release control of Firestarter? It might be the smarter thing to do." Optimus said calmly. These two would have to be kept away from eachother. Otherwise Celestia would follow through with her threat, and possibly kill both her and her sister. The Allspark would just find another body. "Celestia, please remain in here until Ratchet says you can leave, I will send Sideswipe in to talk to you in a few cliks. I suggest that you be the one to tell him what happened. As for the rest of you, I will be calling a meeting in a few cliks. Everyone will need to attend, excusing Ratchet, Celestia, and Sideswipe."
All the mechs in the room nodded and followed their leader out. Everyone except Celestia and Ratchet.
"You go sit on a berth, I still need to run several diagnostics. I take it the Allspark fixed your comm?"
Celestia nodded a bit too fast. Causing Ratchet to walk over and take her pulse rate, and look at her optics. "Are you alright?" He asked suddenly concerned about her.
"Ye…yes. I'm fine, just a bit shaken." She answered truthfully. "I just can't believe that he's back. And finding out that the Allspark is that much of a glitch didn't help."
She visibly shuddered. And shut off her optics, then started taking deep breaths. Ratchet sat on the berth beside her. Still taking her pulse rate. It was too fast, she was on her toes when she shouldn't have been.
Sideswipe walked in and immediately walked over to where she was. He could tell that she wasn't feeling good. "Ratchet…"
"Her pulse is too fast, and she's not able to focus on one spot. Not to mention that all her systems are running on hi-speed. This is not good, I think it has something to do with what happened in the Allspark chamber."
Sideswipe nodded. Ratchet stood up and forced the other mech to sit down beside Celestia. "Try to get her pulse down. I know that being near you will do that. Her pulse should synchronize with yours. The mechs spark is the one that keeps the femme's spark going. But only after you become spark mates."
Celestia's pulse started to slow down. It was still going fast, but not dangerously so. She shuddered again, and leaned against Sideswipe. Clearly trying to calm down. Ratchet returned to take her pulse rate again. Only to drop the data pad and take a step back. Sideswipe jumped like something had bitten him. They both stared at Celesita's forearms.
Black flames engulfed the stated appendages.
"Pit fire." Ratchet muttered, running scans and any other test he could run without touching her hands. "It's not burning you, however, it you touch another Cybertronian with those… It'll melt their armor and cause significant damage."
The black flames faded to a glowing gold. Causing Ratchet to blink and run many more scans.
"The last time I saw something like this was several hundred… thousand years ago. When another prime had to use it, or his spark mate would have died."
Celestia looked at her mentor, then back at her hands.
"It's not even a warm fire. It seems… well, I don't know. I'm not a med bot." Sideswipe stammered.
Ratchet chuckled at him and pushed his hands into hers. "It's a healing fire Sideswipe, it'll heal anything in the universe. At great cost to the one who uses it. The fire will exhaust all the mech's, or femme's, energy reserves. And…" Ratchet went on quietly. "It will not bring back a mech or femme that has died. That is not something that any prime could do, however… if it is used a split second after the mech or femme dies, they will be brought back, at the cost of the primes life."
A heavy silence filled the med-bay. Only filled by the suddenly pounding pulse of Celestia.
"Great way to calm me down Ratch…" Celestia laughed nervously. Then froze, mid-word, staring over Ratchet's shoulder. Optics narrowing, and back straitening.
Sideswipe was doing the same thing, causing Ratchet to turn.
Cliffjumper stood in the doorway, watching the three of them. "I was told to come see you, Ratchet."
"When did you arrive Cliffjumper?" Ratchet asked calmly, trying to settle the aggravated atmosphere.
"Yesterday, they only received my signal today though. Bumblebee came and picked me up. We got here just a few… minutes ago." Cliffjumper said in a tight voice. Grating his dental plates the entire time. Optics never leaving Celestia's face.
Ratchet didn't need to glance back to know that Celestia was doing the same thing. He sighed. "There will be absolutely NO fighting in MY medbay. Am I understood?"
"Yes sir." All three of the Cybertronians said in unison.
"Celestia, you and Sideswipe are free to go to your quarters. Celestia, the exact room is in the data pad on the table. You are to go strait to your quarters and RECHARGE. Am I understood?"
The pair nodded and stood up.
"Cliffjumper, come have a seat on the berth on the right." Ratchet stated, then stood to gather his equipment.
The other three, still glaring, did as they were told. Celestia and Sideswipe left the room quickly and silently.
