Chapter 54

...

The two mechs found themselves on the roof of the Autobot base. They sat down on the ground next to each other. Megatron fiddled with his fingers, while Optimus just looked out ahead, and he looked lost. The two watched the desert land before them, the sand rippling through the winds, as it was raised and swirled in patterns.

Neither knew who would speak first, and were waiting for a moment to see who would talk.

They had left the sparklings to nap in Optimus' quarters for a bit, since they didn't want to fall into a big fight, should their talk not go smoothly. But then, when does anything go completely smoothly?

Megatron looked over at Prime. He bit his lip, before he took in a breath.

"Look, I'm sorry I…"

"No, I'm the one who's sorry," Optimus cut him off, with a tone of remorse.

Megatron stared at him, red optics widening slightly.

"I…rushed. I forgot for a moment what you suffered under Straxus, and for me to just drop it on you like that, was foolish…." Optimus whispered, not looking Megatron in the optics, as he said these things.

The silver mech placed a hand over Optimus' and held it, his optics softening. He rubbed a thumb over his lover's knuckles.

"No, I overreacted Optimus," he said softly.

Prime off-lined his optics "And you had a right to."

The silver mech looked at him, spluttering in disbelief at his words, "I slapped you though!" Megatron protested.

"Yes, a very good right hook, if I may add," Prime retorted, crossing his arms over his chest plates, turning his helm to look at Megatron.

"Prime…."

SLAM!

The two mechs looked back, and saw that Ratchet was there, and he was panting heavily, like he was out of breath. He pointed at the two mechs.

"There you two are! Fraggit, we have a situation downstairs, with Fowler!"

….

"Prime, Megatron what in blazes are your people doing out here?" Fowler roared form the vid screen, "We had an agreement, NO collateral damage!"

Megatron raised an optic ridge at Fowler, optics narrowed. He really, REALLY did not like the tone he was using with Prime. He looked at Optimus.

"Prime, is your human contact defective?"

Optimus sighed, "I'm sorry Agent Fowler, but as far as we know, all are here and accounted for, be they Autobot or Decepticon."

"Then explain the two parties down here, outside Omaha that we picked up on video," Fowler snapped, pulling up the video.

Megatron narrowed his optics, when four mechs, three seekers and a simply flier appeared.

There were a few gasps, and next thing the silver mech knew, he was smacked on the back, and begin crowded by three mechs.

"Uncle Dreadwing!" Barricade squealed, bouncing up and down excitedly.

"Thundercracker and Skywarp!" Starscream laughed, a smile on his face, "I haven't seen those two since the exodus!"

Tarantulas, now fully healed and up to full health, smiled, and gave a slight squeal, "It's my Shocker-Whocker…"

Megatron stopped up and looked at Tarantulas with wide optics that simply asked if there was anything wrong with him. Tarantulas gave him a look.

"He's my bond-mate, what did you expect? I haven't seen him since the evacuation of Cybertron."

The silver mech flinched, before turning to the screen. He sighed.

Breakdown walked up and smirked, "Heh, what do ya know, Dreadwing's here."

Bulkhead tensed slightly.

"So, who are the dance partners?" Arcee asked.

The video feed moved to a group of ground vehicles. Optimus yelled when he was suddenly crowded from behind by his own team.

"Haha, Jackie's Back!" Bulkhead yelled.

"Perceptor!" Ratchet smiled, straightening up immediately.

Jazz whooped jumping up and down, "OH yeah, mah main machine, Blaster!"

"And Ricochet's down there," Moonracer said flatly, the only one out of the group who did not look to happy seeing the Autobots. Well, at least one of them. Soundwave also flinched when Starscream said who was there. Apparently he wasn't too fond of the two seekers there.

He was a few weeks in, and his abdomen was beginning to form a bump.

"I don't care if Abraham Lincoln or George Washington's down there, we need to secure this situation, before it goes up on the Eleven o clock news!" Fowler shouted.

Megatron smacked his forehead. Then, he grabbed Optimus by the antennae, and then yanked him forward, before he grabbed Tarantulas by his legs, and yanked him towards the space bridge.

"Ow, hey!" The spider mech shouted.

"Megatron wh—OUCH!" Optimus winced at a particularly hard yank.

"Let's go boys and girls," Megatron shouted, "Through the space bridge and into the fiery depths of battle!"

Arcee rolled her optics, before she, her sister and Firestar followed, with Bulkhead, Barricade, Bumblebee and Breakdown behind them.

"And why do I need to go?" Tarantulas demanded.

"You're Shockwave's bond-mate," Megatron activated the ground bridge, "I may need….more convincing terms to make him see reason, should we come to an altercation."

He shoved the spider and Prime forwards, before following them through with the others.

…..

"You've got nowhere to run cons!" Wheeljack shouted from his cover behind the Jackhammer, his ship, along with Perceptor, and Blaster, who were both firing with him.

"That's what you think Autobot scrap!" Thundercracker shouted, aiming his sonic rays at them. He sent the Autobots flying back from their cover.

His comrades aimed and fired at them.

Skywarp yawned, as he fired at the Autobots, "Slag, this is getting old, even after millennia of no action."

This was right before he was tackled to the ground by Ricochet, both rolling around a moment.

"How's that for old, bot-killer?" he snapped, holding Warp in a head lock.

Perceptor aimed his sniper rifle and fired at Shockwave, when the purple mechs made a run at him. The red, blue and black mech managed to hit him in the antennae. The one-opticked, blank-faced mech returned fire, cold and still, and he hit the mech's shoulder.

Dreadwing aimed his cannon at the Autobots, aiming for Wheeljack, while Thundercracker and Blaster duked it out, before the ground bridge opened behind the cons.

Skywarp slashed Ricochet in the face, with a growl, using enough to shove him off, before rolling over to get up. He growled, and glared at the ground bridge.

Then his optics widened in shock. He was soon followed by Thundercracker, when his bond-mate helped him to his pedes. The two stared, as a very familiar face came through.

"Lord Megatron!" the Decepticons shouted, before going to one knee before their leader.

Megatron gave him an indifferent look, before he turned to the space bridge. And then Prime came through, stopping beside Megatron.

Skywarp raised his null rays, followed by Shockwave raising his cannon at the sight of Optimus Prime, both narrowing their optics.

"Skywarp, Shockwave at ease!" Megatron snapped.

The seekers and flier blinked in confusion, before looking at each other. They narrowed their optics at their leader.

"My Lord, that's…" Dreadwing began.

"Optimus Prime, I know, Dreadwing…."

The mechs looked at each other in slight confusion.

Then, the Autobots came forwards.

"Get them!" Wheeljack shouted.

Optimus raised a hand though, and stopped them , "Autobots, hold your fire, and be at ease!"

They all froze and stared at their Prime. They blinked in shock.

"Optimus Prime…." Perceptor and Blaster both fell to their knees before their Prime, soon followed by Ricochet.

When the two leaders were sure there was no more fighting, Megatron turned to the space bridge and nodded to the mechs there.

Suddenly, there was a screech, and Dreadwing was rammed into by a blur of black and purple. The blue, yellow and black mech raised his helm and then stared at the smiling and giggling Barricade, who hugged him, chirruping and purring softly.

Then, he laughed, as he sat up, smiling at the younger mech, "Barricade!"

He hugged the smaller mech, listening to his nephew chirrup and mewl. He gave another laugh, before standing up. He looked up and then tensed when he saw more mechs and three femmes come through.

Shockwave immediately stood up, before he was embraced by Tarantulas. The spider mech smiled at his mate, kissing his helm and his face plates. Shockwave placed a large hand over his mate's back, holding him to his chest plates.

"Tar…."

"Hey Shockers," Tarantulas whispered.

When Breakdown appeared, he almost yelped, when Dreadwing ran towards him and hugged him also, not caring who else was there. Breakdown sighed, and smiled, hugging his brother in law, with a chuckle. He shook his helm, rubbing Dreadwing's wings gently.

"Hey Dreads."

Bulkhead smirked, but on the inside, he was boiling with jealousy, as Dreadwing being that close to Breakdown. Moonracer kept her distance from the mechs, as Bumblebee ran over and hugged one of the mechs, Perceptor, with a laugh. She glared at Ricochet, as her sister and Firestar went to greet the mechs, and welcome them. Bulkhead greeted Wheeljack with a fist bump and a laugh.

Optimus Prime cleared his throat, "Attention, all of you, there has been a ceasefire declared between Autobots and Decepticons."

Megatron interrupted, "So, if there is any form of fighting, you will answer to me or to Prime, understood?"

The Autobots and Decepticons looked to the two leaders, then at each other. Then they all nodded, knowing not to argue, under any circumstances.

"Now…back through the space bridge…" Megatron grumbled.

Barricade giggled, "Come on Uncle Dreads!" He took his Uncle's arm and pulled him towards the space bridge.

They all followed, with a few glares, and one snarl, but that was all.
