(Where Optimus is)
Optimus watched the human who had been kind to him walk out of the room, he had promised to look in on Sam. Optimus offlined his optics for a few seconds; he frowned he wanted the pain to stop all his life was pain and destruction. The war finally ended, and now the very species he had protected had turned and done this to him and his spark cried out in betrayal.
Optimus turned his head, while a single energon tear rolled down his face plates.
(In the room where Sam and Frenzy are)
Sam kept trying to will his powers to work, but something was interfering his eyes glanced up at Silas.
"What did you do to me?" Sam demanded as Silas smirked.
Silence...
"Keep smirking, we'll see how smug you are when I can use my powers on you." Sam snarled.
Silas pressed several buttons on a small remote controller in his hand. Sam watched in horror as several men walked up to him with white lab coats on.
"Yes I am sure you would like to kill me, but that will not happen." Silas snapped as he nodded to the men. "Open him up, but do not kill him." Silas said as Sam tried to fight more so than he did before.
Sam's screams of pain were heard all over the compound, and they reached Optimus Prime's sensitive audios.
"...Samuel...Please be alright boy, please..." Optimus whispered as the human who was nice to him came back into the room.
Optimus looked at him as he climbed up to be with the injured Autobot leader.
"He is being tortured I am sorry..." he said as Optimus suddenly looked so sad.
"He doesn't deserve this I do not deserve this treatment either, we should be home he is my adopted son." Optimus said as the human suddenly looked just as sad as the gentle Autobot leader did.
(Optimus' POV)
The human was quiet, but I could tell he was going to ask something soon. I think he was trying to find a way to ask me something in a gentle way.
"How much do you think you can take?" he asked me as my optics misted once more.
I didn't want to die like this I wanted an honorable death; this wasn't honorable. This was sheer madness at the hands of humans who knew nothing of what I was; or the life I led and my role as Prime and leader.
"I do not know how much I can take until my spark will give out, I know what I can take in battle but this is different. They are attacking me from every side and I never know what they will do next I cannot brace my body for anything." I said.
"You said you adopted the boy?" he said.
"Yes, I will never hold him, or be able to tell him I love him again; he means the world to me and unfortunately if I am offlined..." I fell silent as I suddenly grew horribly sick inside if they succeeded in killing me Sam will be devastated.
"What?" he asked softly.
"Because of our family bond when I die from this it will affect him too." I said as I broke suddenly emitting clicks and chirps of sorrow as my body was overcome with grief never imagining what was happening to Megatron right at the moment from our strong brother bond.
(Autobot base – normal POV)
Megatron collapsed onto the ground gasping and reaching for his spark.
"Optimus..." Megatron whispered.
Megatron was snarling like a wounded animal, when Starscream and Ironhide were walking up and found him.
"Megatron...!" Starscream and Ironhide exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Ironhide demanded.
"It's Optimus, he's in pain... He is online I can feel him he is in pain too." Megatron said in pain.
::::... Ratchet you better get out here...:::: Ironhide send to Ratchet who was quick to come running out of the hanger.
Ratchet tried to talk to Megatron, but it was like he had no use of anything normal. He didn't hear him or anyone for that matter he just kept snarling and growling
(Ratchet's POV)
Slag it, I kept trying to get my leader's brother to respond, but he just kept snarling and growling in pain. I had seen this before too many times, but usually it was a sparkmate in pain the other mate felt everything. This was different it was their brother bond and seeing how they were exceptionally close now, he was feeling everything. I would say by the look of what was going on with Megatron Optimus must be in some serious pain wherever he was. I brought my finger up and transformed it and gave him a strong charge enough to put him out for a while.
"What's wrong with him?" Ironhide asked.
I could tell by the look on Starscream's face he already knew.
"It's their brother bond; he is feeling Optimus' pain, wherever he is he must be hurting right now and wherever he is Samuel is with him." I said.
Silence...
"And if Optimus offlined wherever he is at; so, will Sam and so will Megatron." I said as Lennox, Epps and Graham stood there and gasped in shock.
This also led me to believe human families didn't love this way, which made me think this planet was extremely backward. Love and or family bonds were strong on our planet and I was so thankful We also had a special bond with Samuel; the boy had been there for us and proven himself time and time again.
However now I am slightly concerned, what is going on and why is Optimus in so much agony and where was our boy?
(MECH Compound, Normal POV)
The gigantic room where Optimus was being held had bright blinding lights shining brightly at him. Optimus needed recharge so badly, he was exhausted. The one human who refused to hurt him would come in after the bad torture they put him through. He would care for Optimus cleaning up the Energon; which was coming from his wounds. Optimus later learned his name was Andy; and he was thankful for this human. He would give him fuel odd times and patch him up the best he could. He helped the Autobot leader as best he could; but there were so many wounds now. Optimus stared at the walls he had no idea humans could be so vindictive and unkind. He felt his fans trying to cool him down, but it was useless. He was so overheated; there was no way they could help him not now. He figured the only reason his systems didn't lock down and force him into stasis was because of whatever they put into his systems. Optimus looked forward to the visits from Andy; because while the human would care for him. He would talk to him. It was the only time he could relax at least for a few minutes.
Optimus was growing sicker and his strength was dwindling, his thoughts went to Sam a sad smile touched his lip plates at the thought.
(Autobot headquarters)
Ratchet was having a hard time keeping Megatron down on the berth in the medical bay.
"Let me go, I have to find him; he needs me!" Megatron snarled.
"You have to stay put you can't help Optimus if you're flat on your face plates, now can you?" Ratchet demanded as he grabbed his wrench. "Don't make me use this on you, got it?" Ratchet remarked sourly.
"He'll use it anyway, don't let him kid you." Ironhide said as Ratchet glared at him.
"Optimus is in trouble he is growing weaker." Megatron replied with such a snarl of hatred. "Whoever is doing this to him will be sorry, I will kill whoever has done this, and no one will stop me either this is my brother and this will be avenged." Megatron replied with such conviction no one dared to question or say a word.
Megatron's brother was in danger plain and simple, and there was no one who would stop him from avenging his brother's pain.
(MECH headquarters – Optimus' POV)
I waited for Andy's arrival and watched as he cared for me when he did arrive.
"Andy, what did they do to me, why can't I recharge?" I asked him.
He gave me nourishment and patched me up and then spoke.
"They manipulated your systems, until they figured out how to control them; you can't recharge until they allow it." Andy told me as I felt him climb up on me.
He stroked my face; and looked sad for me.
"Some of these new wounds I can't patch up, Optimus." he said.
My body shuddered.
"I figured sooner or later they would do things that couldn't be fixed by your kindness, Andy." I said as five men entered the room. "Get down quickly." I said not wanting him to get into any trouble.
They started to force my chest plates open and they started to shock my spark chamber. The pain was like someone shot me in my chest I arched up screaming in pain. These humans they hated me this much to do such things to me, why didn't they just tell us to leave I would have complied but to do this to me oh Primus why?
(Several hours later – Still Optimus' POV)
They have left me alone for a while and while they did Andy came in and kept me company. I liked the human known as Andy; he hated the fact they were doing this to me.
"I am sorry they have done this to you, Optimus." Andy said to me.
My memory banks swirled and Sam's face flashed from my data banks.
Samuel James Witwicky and how he got pulled into this as well, my son oh how I missed him; I wanted him back in my servos. I felt the leaking from my optics once more I hated leaking I really did. It seemed so inappropriate for a leader to do; which was why I didn't do it in front of my men.
"Do you have a mate?" I asked Andy.
He was quiet, then smiled.
"I have been married for about a year her name is Vicky; she's my whole world." Andy said as his hand dropped onto mine.
It was funny his hand was so small compared to mine, but there was so much healing that came from such a small being.
I watched as anger crossed his face.
"I am sorry you're being treated like this, it's not fair at all." he said. "You don't mean anyone any harm at all, do you?" Andy asked.
"No, your species likes to harm things they do not understand without first thinking about the consequences to their actions." I said as my tanks whirled and I turned my head away from Andy as I started purging my tanks once more. "My Energon is backing up." was all I said as Andy got something to wipe my mouth plates.
"It's okay, you're sick, Optimus; I will clean you up." Andy said as he helped me best to his ability.
He cleaned my face and where I had purged my tanks at; he didn't look mad at all. He just took care of me without a second thought.
"...I was betrayed by the humans I trusted, we do not belong here I know this now." Optimus whispered.
Andy ran a gentle hand over my face, while a soft sad keening sound escaped me.
"I will die alone here in this miserable lab without my son by my side. At least, if I was mortally wounded in war; he would be by my side and I could die in his arms. I do not have him now and when I cease to function I will never get to tell him how much he meant to me. I will die in the hands of humans; I have accepted this even though it is not the death I wanted. I wanted an honorable death on the battlefield protecting the innocent." I said as Andy was touching my face and whispering to me I couldn't understand what he was saying to me. But he was trying his hardest to be a comfort to me; he knew this wasn't easy for me at all.
Abruptly the doors opened and in walked several of those dishonorable and ignominious humans; they had the most sinister expressions on their faces. There were clipboards in their hands as they watched Andy slowly move down to the floor.
"Did the specimen purge himself again?" the one human demanded in slight humor.
"His name is Optimus and yes he is sick." Andy growled.
I wanted to tell Andy not to fight for me I knew it was too late for me; but he must not anger these abominable humans and cause them to ruin his life as they had mine. He was my friend and truth be told I didn't want him taken away from me like everything else had been.
My freedom, my son, my men; everything I held dear was taken from me by these humans. How I wanted off this damnable planet, but it wasn't that simple not now.
"We have another round of tests to perform today; we want to test his sexual reactions." the human said as I did not like the sound of that not by a long shot.
"Bring it in." another human said as a huge robot was brought in.
I scanned it and found it was an ordinary robot but it was programmed oddly; I couldn't begin to know what this monstrosity planned on doing to me. I knew it couldn't be good though not at all the expression in its optics told me all I needed to know. It was programmed by humans and that was all I needed to know. I was in trouble.
(Andy's POV)
I watched as the robot roughly touched Optimus' spark chamber and the anger that flashed over Optimus' optics as the robot touched him. Optimus angrily pulled at the restraints wanting out; until the robot not getting the response it was programmed to get from Optimus became violent.
"I would advise you to react, because the robot is programmed to be violent with you if need be." Dr. Blooming said.
Blooming was Silas' head scientist on the M.E.C.H team, and he was evil and sadistic as they come.
"This is wrong." I said finally.
"I suggest you leave then until we have gotten the proper reactions from him." Dr. Blooming said as I looked at Optimus who merely looked worried and sad.
He was afraid for me; he didn't want me to get hurt by them.
I didn't want to leave him; but I ended up being forced too by Dr. Blooming.
(Dr. Blooming's POV)
We were not getting the desired reactions from the specimen so we sent signals to our robot to become more violent with him. Our robot grabbed the specimen's spark chamber and pulled and yanked on it; this earned our specimen to cry out and yell in pain. Our robot twisted the cables in his chest until the specimen bucked and arched up pulling against the re enforced chains. I noted the expression in Optimus Prime's optics. It was somewhere between detest and fear; which merely made me smirk. Here we had the most powerful creature in the universe contained and he was reduced to this by humans. The robot hadn't stopped yanking the Prime's cables; it wasn't until the specimen let out the most agonizing sounds of pain that I realized why. Our little robot had started tearing the cables off slightly, but no matter how ever so slightly it must have been excruciating and unbearable to him.
"...Please...Stop this madness!" he yelled as I laughed and moved closer.
"Does it hurt?" I asked him in a mockingly sweet tone.
He turned to me his optics dulled by the intense pain.
"Yes, please stop!" he roared.
"Oh, so you want it to go away?" I asked as I winked at the others.
"Yes, I do not deserve this treatment...please have mercy." I heard him beg. "...Please why would your governments do this we saved your planet countless times...Why are you doing this to me..." he demanded as we all heard a cruel sinister laugher and I turned and saw Agent Simmons standing there by the doorway.
Optimus looked at Simmons wearily, but then looked away like he didn't care anymore.
"I am peaceful why are you treating me like this?" He demanded as the specimen shuddered in pain.
It was then our robot balled up a fist and slammed it into Optimus' chest as he grabbed his spark chamber forcing Optimus to fear for his life now or the other life growing within him.
"Tell him to stop please...my spark please!" Optimus begged.
"What was that, specimen?" I demanded as our robot squeezed causing Optimus to try and buck the robot off of him. "What do you want?" I demanded.
I nodded and our robot stopped and released his spark as Optimus shuddered as Energon seeped out of him.
"I don't want you dead yet, but I do want you in agony beyond agony actually." I said as I looked at our robot. "DESTROY HIS CABLES IN HIS CHEST RIP THEM OUT OF HIM!" I ordered as I heard the specimen's pleas for him not too.
"No, please I will no longer be able to bond if I find a femme, please!" he exclaimed as he tried to brace himself for what was going to happen next.
(Normal POV)
However there was nothing that could prepare him for the pain of having his cables near his spark chamber ripped out of him.
"You're never leaving here alive; so you have no use for it." Blooming snarled at him as the robot used all its strength and ripped the cables right out of Optimus Prime forcing paralyzing screams out of him; as he bled savagely from within his chest cavity from the cables being ripped out of him.
He bucked and bucked and snarled out in agony as his optics dilated from the agony he had been going through. "Just kill me and be done with it, please...please...dear Primus, please just take me..." Optimus kept saying over and over again.
(Andy's POV)
I could hear Optimus' cries and screams; I couldn't stand hearing them do this to the honorable leader of the Autobots. I saw Dr. Blooming and his assistants leaving and his eyes locked with mine as their robot followed them out as well.
"Clean him up and feed him; there isn't any patching up you could do though for him. Get him ready for the next batch of tests!" Dr. Blooming bellowed as I watched them leave wondering what he meant by the fact he couldn't be patched up.
I found out when I crept inside I heard the cries and whimpers of this great leader now reduced to this by Dr. Blooming. There were high pitched sounds every so often he was badly damaged this time and my anger knew no bounds then.
I saw his chest cables had been completely destroyed and ripped out of him. I shook my head as tears hit my own eyes how much more could they take from him? How much more could he stand before his spark gave out completely from exhaustion and agony? I saw his optics was dilated from the pain he was going through; I wasn't sure he realized I was there. He turned his head toward me his arms were still held in place with the chains.
"A...Andy, Please... Help me...please." he cried as I walked over and climbed on.
He was still bleeding heavily of Energon. I saw the terror and panic in Optimus' optics. I looked at the mess that Dr. Blooming's robot left behind the twisted and mutilated cables were beyond repair. Optimus was clicking a lot I knew he made robotic sounds when he was scared, lonely and also in severe pain.
"They took my cables... They did something to my spark I cannot merge with any femmes not that I would find a mate now anyway...I am finished I know this but I do not wish to die by their hands. I wish for you to extinguish my spark, Andy, please." he paused. "I cannot take any more of this, I cannot." he pleaded as I saw wild look in his eyes. "Will you help me if I explain how to do it?" He begged.
I stared at him horrified; he was asking me to take his life!
(Autobot base – With Megatron)
Ratchet had a terrible time trying to calm down Megatron, especially when he roared with pain; Hook started to try and sedate him when a snarl erupted from the Ex Warlord.
"You touch me with a sedative either of you and I will do you both in, understand?" Megatron snarled. "He is in the worst kind of agony, oh Primus no he wants to offline. Why are the humans not trying to find him and Samuel, why are they just wandering about like the slugs they are?" Megatron hissed his detest of humans still showing.
"Megatron...The humans are our allies..." Ratchet remarked.
Megatron snarled.
"I do not trust humans..." he snapped back. "I wanted my brother to stop trusting these insects a long time ago and now his compassion for them has backfired on him and he is in agony!" Megatron roared.
Ratchet just shook his head not realizing Megatron had every right to be angry with humans.
(Mech headquarters- where Optimus is – Andy's POV)
I stared at those sad and exhausted eyes blinking back at me; I couldn't he was my friend I couldn't take his life.
"I can't kill you." I whispered.
"Please, I will die anyway I want it to end by my choice please." he replied tears rolling down his face, as he saw me shake my head. "You said you wished to help me feel better, did you not?" he asked in a pleading tone.
"Yes, but not like this I can't kill you." I said as he whimpered.
"W...why?" was all he asked me.
"You're my friend I can't kill a friend." I said to him.
"I am ruined anyway, my friend; my life is over I will never see freedom." he said as I shook my head I didn't want to kill him. "That poor excuse for a robot savagely ripped my spark cables out of me. These humans are merciless they are evil." he said as his body kept shuddering from the blinding pain he must have been experiencing.
I sighed when I saw the shattered look that shined within those optics of his. He was suffering; what kind of friend would I be if I let him suffer like this?
"Alright, let me find something," I said determined to help end his misery now.
"You will help me then…" he asked me his voice trembled with pain.
"Yes, but you need to tell me what I will need to do it." I said.
He told me what I could use to extinguish his spark; and I knew what would work perfectly to do it. I felt terrible about this; but at the same time, he was suffering and needed release from the pain.
"I know what to use it will work perfectly will it hurt when I do this?" I asked.
"Yes, but only for a bit; and then I will offline." Optimus said.
"Let me go get those things; I'll be right back." I said my hand touching his leg; which made his optics shoot down with fear. "It's alright, Optimus." I said as he jumped at my touch.
"No, Andrew; it'll never be alright ever again." he said. "I'm useless now." he whispered as his optics became misty once more. "But once you take my spark it will be fine then…." I heard him say.
I looked around the different labs; but what he told me to use I wasn't finding. My eyes caught sight of a vile that read acid; and I knew that would wipe out his spark completely and infinitely. I reached out and grabbed it; and returned to where Optimus was strapped down.
"Did you find the items?" he asked me.
"No, but I found something to do the trick; but not sure about the pain part." I replied as I climbed onto him and poured the acid inside of him.
He thrashed wildly beneath my feet; as I lost my balance and fell onto his armor. He arched up in complete and utter pain; as the acid ate away at him.
"W…..What did you do…A…..Andy?" he demanded.
"All I was able to find was acid it's doing the job, right?" I said watching him suffer more.
"P…Pain is worse….." he stammered.
I couldn't help myself I felt myself pouring all the contents of the vile into him now as he screamed and part of me enjoyed hearing those screams out of him as I watched his spark chamber being eaten away slowly rather then fast.
"A…. Andy…" Optimus screamed.
I kept shocking his spark along with the acid; and he looked at me with confusion. I watched as his spark kept flickering; it was close to flickering away now as I saw tears run down Optimus' face. He had fear in his eyes and it was aimed at me.
"Y…. You enjoyed this…" he stammered arching up in pain.
I didn't honestly know what to do for him to ease his pain; he made those clicking and chirping sounds constantly. I noticed the Energon continued to drip from the mangled area where his spark cables had once been.
Optimus' POV
I thought for a moment and Samuel's face came into my memory banks, my boy if nothing else came from being on Earth it was to have him in my life for the amount of time I had him in my life. I needed to figure out how to save Samuel, even if I could never hold him or be with him the others could. The only one who could help me was ending my existence; and he seemed to get great pleasure from my pain right now.
"...Andy...?" I whispered.
"I am here Optimus I am sorry I shouldn't have done those extra things to you." Andy replied.
Silence….
"...Andy...It is too late for me...But could you please call Colonel William Lennox and tell him where Samuel is please, he doesn't deserve this...Please..." I said. "I do not have much long my spark is flickering….."
"I will do it for you both; I will not let you die either." Andy said as I gave him the number and prayed to Primus he got through.
(The room where Sam and Frenzy are in)
Sam saw Silas walk in with a smug look on his face, which is until something caught his eye. He walked over and spotted Sam's flesh starting to fall from his bones.
Silas was intrigued by it, he saw muscles everything human start to fall. The skeleton usually on a human being was being rapidly replaced by some sort of metal structure.
"You're turning into one of them..." Silas replied in awe. "This bears further testing..." Silas replied with a sneer.
Sam was going in and out of consciousness and couldn't reply, Frenzy was snarling and clicking at Silas he hated humans. He looked at Ladiesman217, but he couldn't find any hatred for him nothing there was something about him now. However he just couldn't think what it was, but he just knew there was something.
(Autobot base)
Lennox ran into the Autobot hanger stopping when he got to Barricade, Ironhide, Ratchet and a seriously pissed off Megatron.
"We have a huge problem I know where Optimus and Sam are, also your little partner or friend whatever he was to you Frenzy he is alive for how long I am not sure. I learned where they are and who was behind their kidnapping." Lennox said. "But you're not going to like it." Lennox replied as Epps walked up.
"What's going on?" Epps asked.
"Agent Simmons was behind this as well as Charlotte Mearing and pretty much the whole government including our dear sweet president ordered Optimus' capture and Sam's by some group run by a guy whose only name I got was Silas and his group is known as Mech." Lennox explained as none of the Cybertronians were happy about this.
"I always knew that Optimus' trust in humans was misplaced, but this is treason as far as I am concerned. Optimus protected this dirt ball planet and this is the thanks he gets?" Megatron snarled painfully. "Autobots and Decepticons we are going to rescue Optimus Frenzy and the boy and any humans from this Mech group gets in your way destroy them." Megatron ordered with none of the Autobots stopping him. "I want whoever hurt Optimus, do you understand whoever hurt Optimus is mine." Megatron snarled.
"Very well, give us the location, Colonel Lennox." Ironhide ordered.
Lennox could hardly blame them, but Optimus and Sam were his friends too. Galloway looked angry, he had been against the Autobots in the beginning but Optimus Prime saved his life once. He was amazed that this being who could just as soon step on him; when he got out of line but never did so.
Galloway remembered it like it was yesterday, he had gone into his vehicle and started back to his apartment only to find his breaks had failed. Then he saw it the flamed semi racing toward his vehicle, he transformed and saved his life. He still never understood way, especially after how mean he was to him. It was then his outlook turned different toward Cybertronians, and he devoted his life to helping them and understanding them.
"I am coming too, I want to help." Galloway said as Sideswipe transformed and opened his door for the man.
"Hop in, you can ride with me." Sideswipe said as Galloway nodded and got into the vehicle.
Ironhide looked at Lennox.
"How did you learn where they were?" Ironhide asked.
"Someone called he said Optimus gave him the number. He said Optimus was in awful shape physically and mentally. He said Sam was being tortured as well, they could hear his screams." Lennox replied with bitterness in his tone.
"And Optimus can't help him, that must be eating away at him." Ratchet remarked.
"According to this Andy Optimus isn't even in shape to help himself and that he is close to death and that he wanted it." Lennox said getting into Ironhide.
"He must be severely injured for him to say something like that, he has always been a fighter always." Ironhide said as he and Lennox saw Megatron rev his engines angrily and take off.
"He needs to stay with us and..."
"Lennox, Optimus is his brother he will do whatever it takes to avenge this, it is how our race is." Ironhide said.
"I know, I just don't want him to go in halfcocked and get his spark blown out." Lennox replied.
"We're talking about Megatron he will be fine." Ironhide said.
(Mech headquarters – Where Optimus is – Optimus' POV)
I prayed Primus would have pity on me and let me just offline and never wake up. I was stirred out of my own thoughts by Andy's return; he climbed on top of me.
"I called Colonel Lennox they are coming just please hold on Optimus, alright? They are coming for you and you'll go home." Andy said we heard a sound of the doors opening.
We saw that detestable human femme Charlotte Mearing and Agent Simmons; Agent Simmons had a gun pointed at Andy.
"I am so disappointed in you Andy, you contacted NEST you should be ashamed of yourself." Simmons snarled.
"No, you're the one who should be ashamed of yourselves all of you! Optimus did nothing against you, they saved this stupid planet and for what to have you kidnap him and torture him and his son!" Andy yelled.
"He's a menace and as soon as we learn all his secrets for their weapons he will be destroyed." Charlotte Mearing remarked as I yanked against the chains.
"Why do you hate me that much that you'd do this to me and Samuel; does your cruelty know no limits or boundaries?" I demanded as the agony kept me limited of my movement.
Charlotte Mearing merely kept laughing; but it was Agent Simmons who wasn't about to pass up belittling me. He approached me and climbed up letting his hand trail over hand the area where my spark cables were ripped out. This caused several nervous clicks and chirps from me; he continued running his hand over it.
"There now, Prime; you will now understand we never wanted your kind here; you're an abomination. Oh and Andy might have called your friends, but your precious Autobots will not save you. You will die and no one will save you." Agent Simmons snapped as we all heard the sound of a safety being released from a gun. "Now, Andy get away from him!" Agent Simmons ordered.
"No Andy; please...!" I whispered.
"So, you care about him, do you Prime?" Simmons asked as he suddenly pulled the trigger.
I saw my new friend who only wanted to help me fall off of my body; and land on the floor with a sickening thud.
"Boy, you should have run you might have lived to see your friend die; but unfortunately, I would rather have Optimus know he will indeed die alone. He will have no one surrounding him no friends or his bonded; when his spark finally flickers for the last time no one will care." Simmons snarled.
"ANDY...!" I whispered. "Primus forgive me everyone dies that comes to my aide."
My vocals were strained I could barely use them from everything I had gone through. My spark fell I scanned my friend's body and found he was offline. I tugged and tugged at the chains, my friend who helped me was now lying dead on the floor in a pool of his own lubricants. Because he tried to help me against these other humans and it destroyed me more than either of them would know. I heard the doors open and those other accursed humans came back in with guards with them.
"Take his body away!" the one called Dr Blooming ordered. "You have upset the specimen this is not good for our tests." he said as I snarled and growled regardless of my agony and tried to get my servos free.
"All you had to do was ask us to leave if your president did not want us here was to ask we would have left in peace." I said my vocals not working properly now.
"Quiet him at the rate of agitation he is in we can't do any other tests today we will have to keep him quiet and I mean now. Now, as for you two leave him alone while he is being tested; when he is hovering close to offlining I will summon you to take his body to do with as you wish. But until he is close to offlining he belongs to Silas and my people." he had the nerve to say.
"...NO! I belong to no one!" I roared as my body arched up in pain as I shuddered rapidly from anguish.
The acid was not working fast enough for me.
That human doctor hit a button and that awful robot spawned from the pit came in and was on me within seconds grabbing my spark chamber once more fear gripped me as this blasted creature squeezed until I fell into the welcomed darkness.
Normal POV
Optimus heard voices, but he didn't want to online he was tired of the pain. He just wanted it to end; he wanted to be with his family and friends.
"His spark is still burning brightly but in order to make him calm himself grabbing his spark chamber is the only way to force him into stasis. We have tests to finish today I need him calm and your escapades will not help me if you keep causing disruptions like this." Dr. Blooming said.
Simmons and Mearing narrowed their eyes at Blooming; they were not happy with his tone not at all.
"Don't press your luck; I thought your precious Silas was in charge?" Agent Simmons asked sarcastically.
"I am..." Silas said walking into the room. "The boy is going through some change of some sort; he is turning into one of them. His flesh has fallen off completely and his bones have been replaced by..." Silas started to say.
"It's the basic protoform of these things, damn disgusting creatures I can't believe Keller and Morshower were taken in by them." Mearing remarked sourly.
Optimus drifted back and forth, he heard the sinister words. He knew they didn't belong not anymore they weren't just strangers, they weren't the same species and humans couldn't respect them. And his son was already changing Ratchet said he would, oh why did he have to change here in this awful place of death and destruction.
"How much longer do you think he'll last?" Silas asked motioning to Optimus Prime.
"He's strong his spark is burning bright even with what looks like acid eating him away. My men got rid of the acid; he must have a very high tolerance for pain in his spark. I want him to live for several months if possible I have several other tests to run on him. Then I want to run tests more on his spark as well, we just have to be careful not to kill him when we run these tests on his spark. I would also like to how much damage he can take we will put his armor back on him and allow several of our guards to use various weapons on him. I am curious as to the effect a bazooka would have on his body." he said as he saw the expression on his one friend's face. "What?"
"Why not use the bazooka on him now?" he asked as Blooming paused as if thinking about the question as he looked down at Optimus.
"Okay you're right show no mercy on him. Let's put his armor on him and then get him to online." Blooming said.
(Optimus' POV)
I awoke what I am guessing was a few hours later my servos were no longer chained; but I was in a massive room I was sure this would be another demented test and sure enough several humans came out of hiding with of all things bazookas and they were pointed at me.
"FIRE!" they exclaimed as they hit me from all sides in the massive room one caught my side and one got my leg and one hit my hydraulic hose and that followed to the shock-absorber spring of my mechanical bicep. My strength was gone I depended on that hose for use and now they destroyed both my leg and servo would be rendered useless. Though, it didn't seem to matter to them when my leg was blown off, I was just some creature to destroy to them.
I fell making the ground shake; while agony seemed to be a constant friend.
"Hold fire, he's down." the human said as I glared at the humans.
Dear Primus just take me please I am finished just take me please...
(Normal POV)
The men including Simmons and Silas jumped at the sudden sounds of cannons and yells coming from their compound. Mearing glanced at Simmons and they suddenly realized the Autobots and NEST were there.
(Where the Autobots and Decepticons were –Megatron's POV)
We ended up going in the old-fashioned way storming the building was a lot more fun; especially to me. We stormed in the room just as a massive metal spear like object ripped into Optimus' shoulder forcing him to yell out in awful pain. When I looked at him and saw what they had done to him I wanted to purge my tanks. They ripped his spark cables out they was completely ruined. There was a gaping hole in his chest from what I could see his spark was still burning but it was not as bright not by a long shot. The spark chamber was bruised and eaten away like someone put acid inside of him, but the spark it was starting to get dull it was fading. I saw his armor was so badly damaged and his optics was dull with pain. I saw his one servo was hanging on by mere wires and his one leg was completely blown off by something. The sounds coming from him were primus awful I hated seeing him like this. My anger boiled I was in a murderous rage now, they would die all of them would die for this. I would make every last one of them pay for their evil deeds.
"Who dared to do this to my precious brother?" I roared.
"I did..." one of the insects dared to say to me.
He laughed then.
Silence...
I didn't wait for anyone else I gave a battle cry and slammed my fist down on the fleshling. He wasn't laughing anymore; he was a pile of goo on the floor. I saw Mearing try to leave but Arcee stopped her right in her tracks.
"HOW DARE YOU, HUMAN!" she shrieked picking up Mearing.
She threw the human across the room and Ironhide well he went off like I've never seen before. Lennox and his team went to find Sam, Simmons tried to run but Galloway stopped him. The two humans ended up in a fight battling each other, but when Simmons injured the human known as Galloway it was the stoic Prowl who took action. He fired only once and Simmons was merely a black mark on the floor.
"Optimus, it's Ratchet; we're going to get you out of this place." Ratchet said to him as he kept saying over and over again that he wanted to offline as my spark went out to him; the pain was awful for him to want to offline.
"Optimus..." was all I could say heading for him as Ironhide and I picked up Optimus.
The human known as Lennox had called in advance for C-17's, they flew Optimus and Samuel back to base. Ratchet and Hook were in there with them tending to them both, Optimus looked awful little did any of us know the hellish nightmares he was battling through in his processors as well; A battle that could steal still him away from us and Samuel.
(Optimus' mind – Optimus' POV)
I looked up seeing my brothers the first primes; they looked at me with sadness in their optics.
"Optimus, why are you so desperate to leave, you have so many who love you." One of the primes said.
"You have a son who adores you, your brother back with you and the war ended, your men." Another prime replied gently.
I looked up energon dripping from my optics.
"I was brutally tortured and abused I am dysfunctional now, I can never mate now no femme will want me not now. I am no good to my men or to Sam, much less my brother." I replied.
My brothers looked at me.
"Watch and then see how you are so not wanted or needed..." one of the primes said, as they lifted their arms and I could see everyone.
I could hear every conversation, I could see how Megatron was pacing waiting for Ratchet to try and fix me. Then I could see Megatron hovering over Ratchet watching every move Ratchet made. I could see my men they were so worried about me, and then I saw Samuel he was still going through his changes.
I was shown two humans who had fought a long side my men had lost their lives fighting to save him me. The one was what humans call British his name was Graham and the other I was shown was killed by Silas he was Bobby Epps. Silas was killed by Lennox.
It was true some humans could be counted on, but the vast majority were against us. Okay I had to live for my men, my brother and my Sam, but we were leaving Earth it had become too dangerous here for us to stay.
Megatron sat by Optimus' side staring at his younger brother, he was so afraid of losing his little brother. Ratchet had been working constantly to save Optimus' life; there were several times they had almost lost him. Ratchet's fast thinking had saved him, now as Ratchet tended to his leader and dear friend. Megatron did one thing he thought he'd never do ever again.
"Primus, if you are listening please save my brother, we are finally a family again please don't take him from me please." Megatron said as energon tears rolled down his face.
Ratchet glanced over at the once hardened warlord, who had turned his back on Optimus. He had changed and for the better, his spark was so light and so filled with raw emotion now.
Megatron didn't realize a hand was moving gently onto his clawed hand.
"...Megatron...?" a tired voice whispered.
Megatron went still and his optics moved toward where his brother lay.
"Optimus...?" Megatron whispered.
"You're leaking on me..." Optimus replied with a sad smile.
Megatron grabbed his brother, and pulled him into his servos.
"Oh thank you Primus, thank you!" Megatron exclaimed holding his brother close.
Optimus offlined his optics as he savored the closeness between himself and his older brother. He found himself misting up, and Megatron who usually teased him about tears remained silent about it.
"I was so scared Optimus..." Megatron whispered before finally growling and playfully hitting Optimus. "Don't you ever and I mean EVER do that to me again, do you understand?" Megatron demanded.
"I love you too..." Optimus replied tiredly as he glanced up.
Optimus smiled tiredly at Barricade, who smirked and also sent a thank you to Primus for saving his prime.
"Samuel, where is Samuel?" Optimus asked.
"Hook is tending to him in another medical room; he is Cybertronian now, Optimus." Barricade said.
"...He started to change in that awful place; he should have changed home with us not there..." Optimus stated weakly.
Silence...
"...How is he?" Optimus asked.
"Why don't you ask him yourself, Optimus?" Ratchet asked as the door opened and in slowly came Sam.
Optimus, Megatron and Barricade glanced over at the new Cybertronian, who looked so different.
Sam looked different; he was about Barricade's height. He had shimmering blue optics, and was red and white with orange lightning bolts. Sam smiled sheepishly at them.
"I'm a race car now go figure..." Sam said with a nervous little laugh. "Hey Optimus, do I have a big butt or what?" Sam chuckled.
The four mechs burst into wild fits of laughter, which of course set Sam up into a fit of hysterics too.
"Samuel everything about you is big now..." Ratchet remarked as Sam smirked.
The door creaked open as Sam was checking himself out, and there standing by the door was Bumblebee.
"Wow, you look so good, Sam..." Bee said.
Sam smirked as he sat by Optimus his loving father.
Ironhide, Prowl, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, everyone looked at the new Cybertronian smiles peaked in radiance on their faces.
"Looking good, Sam..." Sideswipe replied.
Sam looked at them all and smiled.
"Boy, when I am well enough to travel we are leaving Earth and going back to Cybertron where we belong." Optimus said.
Sam nodded.
Optimus held out his hand toward Sam, who took it immediately. Optimus pulled Sam close, Optimus was so proud of Sam. It showed in his optics, when he looked at Sam.
"I almost gave up boy, I almost didn't care anymore. You, Megatron and the others kept me going, I have never felt so betrayed by the humans of this world than I do right now. I realize the few should outweigh the many, and maybe someday I can forgive them for what they did to me. However right now I cannot for I never did anything to then, I have done everything to try and protect this planet. Perhaps this is for the best; our lives have changed since we met you. We have loved you for so long, and you Samuel have proven time and time again how much we mean to you." Optimus said as Sam smiled.
"I love you too Optimus all of you, and as such I do believe this belongs to you now." Sam replied as he sub spaced the Allspark in its small form handing it to Optimus
Optimus smiled sadly.
"Our home will be brought back to its glory all thanks to Samuel!" Optimus replied as the room filled with thunderous roars from excited mechs.
Lennox walked in his expression annoyed, while Ironhide lowered his hand to the Colonel.
"Optimus the president wants to speak to you." Lennox said.
"Good I wish to address him as well..." Optimus remarked in a bitter tone.
Lennox had the monitors brought in so Optimus could speak to the president face to face.
"Optimus Prime, I wish to speak to you..." the president started to say until Optimus cut him off.
"I really do not wish to hear what you have to say, you betrayed me and had that group capture not only myself but my son Samuel. We would have been destroyed, if we were not found by my men and NEST. We are leaving when I am well enough, and we will not be returning." Optimus said as the president just stared at him dumbfounded.
"I wish I could say I am sorry to see you leave, but the truth is I am not sorry you're leaving." The president said as he signed off from speaking to Optimus who merely shook his head.
"What a jackass..." Lennox muttered. "I am sorry for that Optimus." Lennox replied.
"I am sorry for Epps and Graham being offlined, Colonel Lennox." Optimus replied.
"Thanks Optimus, you know I am going to miss you, all of you." Lennox replied.
"Perhaps something can be done about that, the president will surely be causing you and your family harassments. So, I would like to extend an invitation for you and your family to become Cybertronian and live on Cybertron with us. You stuck by us through all of this and it is the least we can do." Optimus replied as Lennox stood there shocked.
"You mean it, don't you?" Lennox asked.
"Yes, I do..." Optimus said.
"Alright, Hide would you come back to the farm with me and I will get Sarah and Annabelle?" Will asked.
"I would be honored, William..." Ironhide replied as he transformed and Will climbed in.
(The Lennox home)
Sarah held a hand over her mouth, she was excited, but scared just the same.
"Our president did those terrible things, oh my God Will he could be capable of doing anything. Yes we will go what do we need to take with us any of Annabelle's toys or anything?" Sarah asked.
"We don't need any clothes just any special mementos you want to bring with you." Will said.
"What about Annabelle's cat?" Sarah asked.
"Bring him, he will get changed too." Will said.
Sarah glanced up at Will, she had to ask.
"Epps and Graham are they coming too?" she asked.
Will looked away then, while tears stung his eyes.
"Will...?"
"They were killed taken down those sons of bitches who hurt Optimus and Sam." Lennox replied as Sarah felt her own tears.
"Oh Will, I am so sorry..." she said holding him. "I can't even imagine what Optimus is feeling, this is horrible..." she replied as she went and packed some things to bring on their new journey to their new home.
(Autobot base)
Sam was sitting next to Optimus, when he put his servos up and stretched his joints and when he did his metal hands touched and Sam and the Allspark suddenly disappeared in a flash of lightning.
