A few days after their fun yet tiring session, Optimus noticed that his mate, Megatron, seemed to be acting off - as if his systems were not working right or acting really slow and glitchy. "Are you alright, my love?" Optimus asked, loving concern in his voice.
Megatron wasn't sure, as his systems seemed to run slower than usual and had since they had their fun. "I… I am not sure. My systems don't feel like they are running optimally like they should be."
Optimus grew a bit more concerned and went to hug his mate. "Should I comm a medic? Make sure you don't have a virus or something like that?" Optimus offered up.
Megatron didn't want that, as he didn't want to seem weak, but he knew his mate was right. "As much as I don't like that idea, I agree let's call in a medic" Megatron answered as Optimus led the older mech back to their berth, thankful the older sparklings were watching the younger ones. Megatron didn't put up a fight and let his mate take the lead.
Once Megatron was in the berth, Optimus commed Hook instead of Ratchet hoping it would help Megatron feel more comfortable. Megatron, upon hearing who Optimus commed, was relieved. It wasn't that Megatron hated Ratchet, at least not anymore, it's just that Megatron was more comfortable with those who had been under his command previously.
Hook soon came and was brought to the room where Megatron was resting. "I'm here" hook stated and soon went to work. Optimus stood by in case his mate Megatron needed him. As hook scanned, he grew confused, as per his medical knowledge, Megatron should have been far too old for this. Way too old.
Optimus picked up the worried feelings come off hook. "Tell us, what is wrong?" Optimus demanded to know. He wasn't usually this demanding but he didn't like the feeling what he was picking up on. And that worried and bothered Optimus.
Hook was patient and answered, "this should not be possible, but Megatron is sparked."
Megatron passed out hard at that, with hook and Optimus glad that Megatron was aging on the berth.. "SPARKED?" Optimus asked, very concerned. This was so not what Optimus had expected.
"Yes, and he needs special energon to make sure they can grow and he will survive" Hook replied.
"I will do whatever I can to help. Is a transfer possible?" Optimus asked.
"No, the procedure alone could kill all of them" Hook replied. Optimus nodded and hook soon left. Optimus was now alone with his passed out mate. Optimus laid down next to his mate and hoped they would survive this. Only time would tell.
