Nemesis Prime
Valkyrie's POV
After the whole insecticon affair Ratchet and I were at work studying the sample while the rest of the other Autobots, except Ironhide and Optimus. It was no surprise that Ironhide would be in the weapons room and Optimus said he was searching for an energon deposit, so the kids and the rest of the Autobots were watching Jack, Raf and Miko race radio controlled cars. I could hear them having some fun but then we got a call "Prime do you read me?" Called Agent Fowler, Ratchet and I emerged from his lab. "I'm sorry Fowler but Optimus isn't here at the moment." Ratchet answered. Fowler's response was not what we had expected "then I will take it as a confirmation that he is trying to knock me off the road." I went numb and thought 'what the pit are you talking about.'
"Agent Fowler that doesn't seem likely" Ratchet said "tell that to my treads" Fowler said in a panic. "Valkyrie, Jazz, Ironhide, Bulkhead, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Hound, Bumblebee, Elita-one, Chromia, Moonrcer, Arcee, Mirage, and Bumblebee, go aid Fowler." Ratchet ordered and I nodded and took a medical kit. "Hat's funy I don recal Prime ver ctin kie his" Jazz said and we all thought this was out of the ordinary.
When Ratchet got us to Fowler's location he wasn't kidding, Prime was trying to push him off the bridge, "k we eed to andle his' ight now." Jazz said and I got my guns set for stun. Just as we were driving Bumblebee raced ahead and transformed to save Fowler in a nick of time before he was about to fall off the bridge. When the attempt failed the truck fled, "looks like Optimus." Bulkhead said as the truck was making its escape, "Prime's don't run; only cowards run." Chromia said, so she and her sisters, along with the rest except Bumblebee, Ironhide and Bulkhead went to get him, "Valkyrie, Fowler may need some medical aid." Ironhide said before I could join the others, "got it Ironhide." When Bulkhead went to go help Bee, the fender broke off, so Ironhide jumped down to catch him in a nick of time.
As soon as we got Fowler uninjured "Valkyrie, Arcee, Elita-one and Chromia are down, call Ratchet have him prepare the medical bay." Called Hound. "Ratchet, three Autobots down, get the bay ready, and bridge us back." I said through the link. Ironhide and Bulkhead carried the three injured femmes, although it was no surprise that Ironhide would carry Chromia in his huge arms. When we got back Ratchet was taking care of them while I was simple repair. I was told to put the equipment away when the girls were done, but when I came back there was some argument about Optimus' whereabouts. Ratchet then said he was on his way now.
Optimus' POV
When I arrived from my patrol I then transformed into my real body, as soon as I walked in the Autobots were giving me a look. "Is something wrong?" I asked gently the response was questioning my whereabouts. I told them I was outside communication range, and without warning they had their weapons drawn, with the exception of Valkyrie. I showed them I was in a sub terrain energon deposit showing them the crystal. "Lower your weapons; this is not what it seems." Valkyrie said, "c'mon it's our guy can't you tell." Jack said in agreement with her. Arcee apologized, "don't blame them Prime, I was attacked earlier tonight on an open highway by a large rig which resembled you." Fowler said.
Then his phone rang, "what that is not possible! I am positive it isn't him!" Fowler shouted through his phone. He informed us that a military base was under attack by me, and I was stunned to know this information, I learned it was more than a vehicle it was another robot like myself, I had all Autobots come with me, except Valkyrie and Ratchet, in case there were injuries.
When we got there it was no joke there was a robot that looked almost like me, except it was grey and black, with yellow optics. It looked right at me and then made it's escape by transforming into a vehicle mode like mine. Soon the humans turned on us and when my team drew out their weapons I ordered them to return to base because we didn't want to cause human casualties. The time with Fowler at base was rather difficult since Fowler was trying to explain to general Bryce that I did not attack the base nor any human. To make matters even worse that copy of me made the humans go under the order to attack any bot on sight, even Valkyrie was numbed "I guess Bryce seems to have forgotten who and what I used to be." She said feeling down.
"The military order changes nothing our imposter poses a great threat to humanity." I said trying to help matter, mostly with Valkyrie. "A thirty foot tall imposter." Fowler added, and then Ratchet said, "they finally did it, and those butchers got the codes correct." "MECH." The team said together. MECH did take diagrams of Breakdown from cranium to heel struts, the t-cog from Starscream which was placed in a copy of me, with energon and the mode of Optimus. "Say hello to Nemesis Prime." Miko said to add an equal's sign to the whole equation.
Valkyrie's POV
We had no idea where MECH's base was now, but Optimus said "they may know about our biology." "They don't know about our technology and without a ground bridge 'Nemesis Prime' may rely on its vehicle mode." Ratchet said. Then it hit us, the driving distance was not too far from both incidents, but we were advised to maintain cover until we could drop it, especially with the military hunting us because of MECHs toy of destruction. That was when we were ordered to spread out in vehicle mode to find where the Nemesis Prime was and more importantly where MECH might be, I knew we had to clear our names and Optimus' because of what those terrorists were capable of.
When Bee called thinking he could have found the place we were told that he didn't answer his calls after words so we had to go there ourselves to find out what was wrong. By the time we got there we fanned out, "beware of anything that might resemble me." Optimus said in concern. I only got over eighty feet of ground when something big jumped me, I fought back but was knocked out cold.
Optimus' POV
I moved around a large generator and soon came face to face with my double, "Optimus Prime we meet again." Came Silis' voice "the deception ends here and now Silis." I replied, "does it?" was his response. Soon he had my copy draw out his gun, I did the same and I was now engaged with destroying my copy, but not before finding Valkyrie's unconscious body. Soon our blades began to clash, while trying not to let them slash at our hands and removing our blades and I kicked Nemesis Prime into a power line network causing on explosion but this was far from over.
When the double emerged "my robot chasse possesses your speed, strength and firepower. Add my extensive combat training and MECH has perfected the perfect meld of man and machine." Silis bragged while I was trying to destroy that double version of me.
After climbing on a rooftop of one of the buildings the blades were once again engaged and after a while I was stabbed in the tank area stunned. "The main difference between you and me, my body can't feel pain." Laughed the MECH leader, and he jabbed the blade in further causing more pain for me; I hope Valkyrie will come around before I end up with critical injuries. "Just think, with an army of transforming robots, nobody would stand a chance against the new and rebooted MECH." He added as I went down, and was about to deliver a killing blow.
Just when it was about to end, the Nemesis Prime stopped moving and I got up and knew full well this was chance to destroy that thing once and for all. Even when the blade came out I continued melee defense again it since Silis didn't have time to stop both my fists from barraging the double against me, still I wonder who caused a ruse to help me. Soon it was down and couldn't move and I jumped up to pound the duplicate into the ground where it went down causing it to go out of commission.
I soon learned who aided me, "Agent Fowler?" I called and he looked up at me, soon we heard more humans coming. I was told to return to base, while Fowler went to straighten several items out, starting with the issues 'I' did, and of course my injured Autobots were getting treated from their injuries as soon as we returned.
