On a side note, the Q and A for this story is up and running. Don't be afraid to send us your questions int he review section over there. I will be doing 5 questions per chapter, so keep em comin' and let us know your thoughts on the story or if you want to know something about the gang here in Omega-1, so if we can get a few more questions I can start answering them!
So with all that said and done.
Let's Roll Out!
Chapter 24 One shall rise Part 3
The three of them couldn't believe their eyes/optics. Connor was a full Cybertronian! Just looking at him they're reminded of Optimus himself. Connor looked at the three of them strangely before speaking up. "Uh, you guys?" He said but they still didn't register any activity. So he clapped his hands and it snapped them out of their trance. "Connor? What happened to you?" Elita asked, as she took a step toward her son. Connor knelt on one knee so he was level with his mother and smiled at her.
"It's me Mum, it really is". He smiled as Elita then wrapped her arms around him without the fear of accidentally crushing him out the metaphorical window, to this Connor just hugged her back just as tight before breaking the hug. "Let's go get Dad back". He said with determination showing in his optics. The others then nodded with the same fire he had and then changed to vehicle form except him. "Go on ahead I'll do my best to keep up". He said to them but Jack had to ask. "But how?" With that Connor smirked. The sound of jet engines powering up came to their hearing as Connor then started to levitate in the air. "Wh-what the?" He stuttered.
"Built in Jet pack mate!" He said with the best shit-eating grin on his faceplate. He then turned to his mother. "Shall I do the honours?" He asked. "Be my guest". She said which sounded like she was smiling. "LET'S ROLL OUT!" He called as all of them floored it back to the Space Bridge to earth. They were nearly done, and one step closer to bringing Optimus back.
Nothing will stand in their way!
(My pov)
We raced back to our way home and saw the Space Bridge in sight. I was this close, I won't fail Dad, Mum or anyone. Not even Primus himself. That's a guarantee!
As the Femme's of the group stopped near the Bridge, Jack dismounted Arcee and let her change back to robot mode and Mum did the same. Me? Well I still wasn't used to my new body fully so…I ended up skidding right at their feet for a landing. Yea wasn't my first and won't be my last landing with this trick. I shook my helm and stood up fully as everyone looked at me strangely. "Cut me some slack. I only got this new body not even 20 minutes ago!" I said shrugging in which they all agreed on that. We looked at the portal and we all noticed something wrong. We weren't getting any transmissions from the team on the other end of the gateway. Something was definitely wrong, no doubt.
"We, can't not go in. Can we?" Jack said looking up at us due to him being the only small one now. I then remembered something. Mum then sensed something, she switched to vehicle form and floored it through the bridge. Arcee then looked at us. "Stay here". She said before driving through after Mum.
"Where have I heard that before?". I said sarcastically. I gestured Jack to hop in my hand and he did so, then we went through the Bridge and saw what had happened. All of the Autobots were knocked down by just Megatron himself, and Cee and Mum were barely holding their own. I set Jack down in front of Dad and raced to help Mum and Arcee. Mum was slammed into a stalactite…or Stalagmite…whatever the one on the roof is called and fell next to the Bridge controls. Megatron had Arcee in his grasp with one hand and I knew what he was about to do next. "HEY BUCKET HEAD!" I called to him in which he turned in my direction.
"And who might this be? I could've sworn that I heard the son of Optimus Prime. Yet standing before me is you". He said as he then looked at my form not seeing any Insignia at all. "Prove your worth to your lord and master by destroying this Autobot before me". He said gestured to Arcee in which she just chuckled, that left him very confused. "Oh, you truly are a fucking dumbass aren't you Bucket head?" I smirked, when he heard my voice his optics went wide in realisation.
"That's not possible". He said shocked.
"Let's agree to disagree". I replied as I activated my battle mask and made a 'come at me' hand gesture. Megatron charged with his blade drawn and went for a hammer strike, I dodged it and made a swift punch to the rib area and punched again. I grabbed his shoulders and kicked him in the chest sending him skidding back a few feet. I unfolded my Path Blasters and rapidly fired them at the warlord, keeping him back. I rushed Megatron and tackled him into a wall and punched him in the head and followed it up with a cross several times. But he then retaliated with a punch to the gut and tossed me away taking the time to recover. I quickly got up and deployed two Battle Blades which looked exactly like Optimus's weapons from the live action movies. And they were freaking hot!
Megatron ruched at me again with his blade drawn for a second attempt and his blade came in contact with mine. But only for a few seconds before my weapons melted his blade in half. I then took the opportunity and slashed him several times leaving burning slash marks on his body before switching weapons to a Chainsaw on my right hand and began sawing across the side spilling a bit of Energon, but not enough to slow him down.
"You've changed greatly Connor, I'm impressed". He said as he punched me in the face forcing to fall back due to the force of the hit. But I managed to stand up pretty easily.
"Whatever you say Bucket head". I replied as I stood back up and retracted my saw. "Oh and for the record…" I then looked at him and cracked my neck and got into a fighting stance. "The name…Is Cronus Prime". I snarled before charging back at him and drew my fist back. Megatron saw this coming and got ready. But I dropped to the ground and slid at him. "Psych!" I called before kicking his leg in and pulling out my Axe and jabbed him in the face with the middle end of the weapon. I then stood back up and leapt in the air and went for a punch but Megatron recovered quickly and back fisted me in the face and sent skidding next to Arcee.
"Augh, shoulda seen that comin'". I wheezed as I then looked up to see Megatron bring his Blade down on his arch nemesis. Only to be caught in Dad's hands. "Megatron. Be gone!" He said as he then punched Megatron hard in the face and then started beating the living crap out of him, right before delivering an uppercut and sending bucket head into a rock pillar and fell to the ground. We all then regrouped near him and stood ready. "Ratchet, how did we arrive here?" He asked the CMO
"Long Story old Friend". Ratchet smiled as he deployed his swords. "Arcee to base, we're picking up 15 Autobot life signals down there. Is Prime with you?" Fowler asked. "And Jack". She replied simply. "Get the Bridge up now Raf!" Mum called as the portal then came within our reach. Megatron then got his Second wind had reinforcements come down. Including Blackout. He ordered them to open fire in which we did the same.
"Autobots! Fall Back!" With pleasure Dad. "And this time. He's comin' with us!" Bulkhead smirked. "Smell ya later Cons!" Jazz taunted with a two finger salute. As everyone besides Bumblebee, Ironhide, Chromia my parents and myself were left I then looked at them. "Go I'm right behind ya!" I called in which they complied as they ran through with me left. Megatron then ran with his blade, or what was left of it drawn, but I jumped through the bridge, spun around and flipped him off with both fingers with a visible smirk on my face plate before the portal closed behind me.
(Omega-1)
When the bots came through the portal in one piece and were relieved that everyone returned safely. When Optimus Stepped through they all turned attention to him, Raf ran up and looked at him hopefully? "Optimus?"
"Hello Rafael". He said with a smile. "He remembers us!" Miko said with joy present. But then everyone looked at the new bot that followed them through the portal. Optimus turned around and faced the new guest. "I thank you for what you've done for my team. But I would like to know who you are". He asked. Aside from Jack, Arcee and Elita they didn't know that this individual was Connor. The bot began laughing as if someone told a really good joke before responding to the Prime's question.
"I'll show ya instead". He replied before the bot was consumed in a blinding green light before dying down. Everyone looked where the light guided them and it was at their feet and they were just as shocked as Arcee, Jack and Elita were when they found out. "How's that for a magic trick?" He said to everyone with a bright smirk on his face. He then looked up to his father with a war smile. "It's good to have you home Dad". He then had tears coming from his eyes, but this time they were tears of joy. Optimus then keeled down and held his sparkling to his chest with the same amount of joy as his son had.
"But how?" He asked the question on everyone's mind. "Well you might not believe me when I say this but…I actually met Primus himself". Connor answered and all of the bots gasped in shock. "Fell free to call me a liar but…" "How? And what did he say to you?" Ratchet asked and the bots really wanted to know.
"Well, I wasn't in the best condition when I was attacked by the Scraplets but, when I blacked out I was then in the very presence of Primus. Now if you're wondering what he looks like, he's big. Like 100 times bigger than the normal Cybertronian, try planet big if you will". He explained before continuing. "He was the sole reason I'm here in the first place. Apparently things didn't go as they were supposed to in this dimension. So he rewind the timeline back to the beginning and sent me in. I'm his last ditch effort to make things right here I guess. I really didn't understand but regardless he gave me my birthright and I became a Prime. Just like you Dad, or I can hope to become one". He finished.
"Regardless on Primus's purpose of you being here. I'm just glad that I am finally reunited with you". Optimus said before looking at everyone with his son in his hand. "With all of you". He said with a smile and everyone can agree on that for sure. Things have been quite hectic these last few hours. Traveling to Cybertron, Connor becoming a Cybertronian and getting Optimus's memory back and bringing him home. Now…this huge family was now, and finally…
Whole again.
There you have it everybody! Now I apologise if it is short, like I said I had trouble getting more content here but why not make it short and sweet and to the point huh?
Now like I said for the Q and A, I'm doing 5 questions per chapter, nice and neat there. So be sure to send them our way, and you can ask us anything that's on your mind, or your thoughts on the story so far! We'll be looking forward to answering them to the best of our ability, just be sure to send your questions in the review section over there and we'll get right to em. I think I've said my piece and that's everything there is to say.
So until then, I'll see ya next time!
Cronus Prime Out!
