Hi everyone. This is a little over do, but its here now. Enjoy.
Cybertron
CRACK!
Shockwave looked up and saw that Skywarp was in the room. His optics were filled with coolant. Sideswipe turned and took notice.
"Is everything alright Skywarp?" He asked.
Skywarp just nodded and wiped his eyes.
"I'm fine kid. I just need to speak with Shockwave for a bit."
Sideswipe turned towards Shockwave for an answer. Shockwave for his part just nodded and let go of his son.
"Go and find your brother. I think Thundercracker could use some cheering up."
The red Autobot nodded and left the room. Both purple Decepticons stayed for a few moments before Shockwave broke the silence.
"Did you give the Autobots the plans?"
The seeker nodded, his optics casted low. Shockwave knew something else had happened.
"Did you tell the Autobots anything else?"
Skywarp looked up, the coolant in his optics very noticeable and pouring down his cheeks. Slowly he nodded.
"I-I told them everything. About what Megatron, what he's done, and how many of our soldiers he's blackmailing."
He then fell on his knees and started bawling. He never wanted any of this to happen. Skywarp knew there had been nothing to do, but the guilt was still buried within his spark. A guilt that would not go away anytime soon.
"Skywarp…"
The purple seeker quieted down and stared at the scientist. His one optic stared down with a certain kindness that would've been reserved for his sons. He placed his hand on Skywarps shoulder.
"It's alright to feel guilty sometimes, that's what makes everyone kind. But if you keep it all bottled up it will take over. What we failed to do then we will succeed today. We can give our families a safe future and end this war now."
Skywarp calmed down at Shockwaves words. It helped to know that he still had his trine mates and that he could play a part in giving them a bright future. Slowly he stood up, wiping his optics.
"I need to check on Thundercracker. Losing another family member in a short time is hard. I need to be there for him."
Shockwave nodded and Skywarp teleported to the room where Thundercracker was. The room was full of vibrant colors. The twins had been painting the room Thundercracker was in to make him feel better. It was working as Skywarp noticed the small smile on the blue seekers face as a combination of Earth and Cybertronian colors filled the room.
'I think Thundercracker will be just fine.'
Earth
The Autobots were in full military mode. Prowl and Jazz were examining the blueprints given to them, Blaster was scrambling every communication wave and Ratchet was preparing all the medical equipment to bring to Cybertron.
"Ratchet."
The doctor stopped what he was doing to face Optimus Prime.
"What can I do for you Prime?"
Optimus walked closer to Ratchet, his ped-steps heavy with the decision he was about to make.
"I want you to be a part of the rescue mission instead of the invasion Ratchet."
Ratchet for his part just stared at Optimus like he'd taken off his face mask.
"With all due respect Prime…some of those Decepticons would be more than happy to blow our soldiers through space. I am more needed on the battlefield."
Optimus rubbed his helm.
"The families of the Decepticons need you more Ratchet. You're the only one who could break the codes and save them from Megatron."
Ratchet just lowered his helm. He didn't think about that. He just wanted his team to be ok.
"Fine…but First Aid goes with you guys. A medic must always be present. Also I want Carly and Spike to come with me."
Optimus was shocked. Ratchet continued.
"Those two will be useful. There will be younglings present and I believe that having the two humans will calm them down and allow me to work on them."
Optimus nodded after a moment. He then left the room for Ratchet to finish packing, all the while thinking.
'Megatron…your time has come. I have no more mercy for you. When we meet, prepare to die!"
Intense ending, but it fits. Please review.
