Chapter 7 - Epilogue
"Please tell me we are almost there," said Anika as Ratchet walked into the medibay.
"Almost. Wheeljack boosted the quantum engines to jump us straight to Cybertron," said Ratchet. "How is he?"
"Still hurting a lot. He was mumbling not to give up," said Anika. "What if we don't make it in time Ratch?"
"We will," said Ratchet. "We'll be launching soon. The engines have to warm up."
"Okay," said Anika.
~~~somewhere on Cybertron
In the middle of the dead land of Cybertron, the ground shook. The sounds of transforming rang out into the silence, systems onlining. The mech stood up straight, looking off into the direction of where Quintessa was banished to. He could sense the call of a young Prime, one he had not heard from in so many eons. The Matrix and the Prime's spark called out, and the guardian was awakened.
"Omega Supreme hears," the titan said, moving in the direction of Optimus to go help.
~~~000
"Don't you dare touch him!" Megatron snarled, pulling at his own chains with all he had.
"Quiet traitor!" Quintessa spat, shocking the silver mech.
Megatron didn't dare to scream and give her the pleasure of hearing his pain. He continued to fight. He could feel the chains weakening the more he pulled. He couldn't give up now. His brother and his brother's mate needed to get to safety.
His optics flashed a more dangerous red at hearing his brother's pain. Megatron broke one chain, using it as a whip against Infernacus. The chain wrapped around Infernacus' neck. Megatron broke the other chain, wrapping it around the larger mech as well.
Quintessa clenched her dentas and fists together. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. She used her powers on Megatron, but that wouldn't stop the mech. Megatron choked Infernacus, moving him to take Quintessa's attacks instead, using him as a shield. Megatron kicked Infernacus apart, throwing one body at Quintessa and knocking her down.
Megatron went to his brother, pulling at the chains. He got one chain off before he was grabbed by Infernacus, who slammed him to the ground and stomped on his back.
"Megatron!" Optimus shouted.
"Don't- AH- Don't worry... about me. Get your mate and get out of here!" Megatron shouted back, managing to turn onto his back to fight off Infernacus better.
Optimus nodded, breaking the last chain and going to the container holding his mate. Jessica felt so weak in the bond. Optimus grabbed the container, nearly falling over as the ground beneath them shook.
The young Prime looked to see what was causing it. Megatron stopped his fight, looking as well. His optics grew wide.
"Impossible," Megatron said.
The large titan came into view, bending to a knee. He looked straight at Optimus.
"My Prime, Omega Supreme has arrived," the guardian said.
~~~000
"Whoa, this is Cybertron?" Anika asked, looking out a viewing window.
"Yes," said Ratchet. "We are heading for a place where it is said Quintessa was banished to by the original Primes."
"Hurry. Jessica is dying," Savoy said from his spot on the medical berth.
"You're awake. Morning sleeping beauty," Anika said. "What else do you feel?"
"She's just giving up. She's in so much pain," said Savoy, some tears pricking at his eyes for some reason.
He found himself not wanting to lose her or Optimus. Not when he had found them and felt happy around them.
"We'll be there really soon to help. But you two have to stay here. You cannot survive out there," said Ratchet.
"Fine," Anika pouted.
"Don't pout sassy femme. I don't want you dead," said Ratchet. "We'll go get them."
"Okay," Anika said, watching as the planet got closer. She saw a very large mech that looked familiar. "Who's that?"
Ratchet looked out the viewing window, gasping at who he saw.
"By Primus," Ratchet muttered. "I thought he had perished."
Xxx
"Omega Supreme?" Optimus whispered holding the container that contained his mate as he glanced down realizing she was dying. "No, fight for me, Jessica, please!" Optimus begged.
He heard laughter then as he turned, seeing his brother's mangled body. His optics widened in horror as he realized Quintessa was ripping everything out of his life he loved. He looked at Quintessa then.
"Omega Supreme, take out Quintessa and Infernacus," he said as he tried to pull Megatron along with him.
"My Prime, Omega Supreme hears and obeys," the guardian said.
His own strength not up to par because of being tortured by Infernacus, he dropped to his knee joints and just sobbed as he realized the sacrifice his brother had done for him. He had gotten his brother back only to lose him to these monsters.
It was then he heard sounds approaching and he saw who it was the Dinobots. Grimlock the leader, Swoop, Snarl and Snag. Grimlock bent down and picked up Megatron's broken body, while Optimus couldn't stop his sobbing.
Why would Primus give him brother back only to take him away from him like this. He knew it was a sacrifice of a brother's love. He felt so broken right now, he was losing everything all over again.
The young prime finally just threw his head back and roared in emotional pain as his body shut down along with Jessica's.
"Boss!"
Grimlock looked to see Autobots coming. He looked down at the Prime, seeing him in stasis lock. The Dinobot leader ordered his men to go help Omega destroy Infernacus and Quintessa.
Ironhide, Chromia, and Ratchet got next to Optimus, the CMO scanning him.
"We need to get him out of here," said Ratchet. "Grimlock, bring Megatron with please."
Grimlock nodded, following the three inside the ship and to the medibay. Anika gasped, a hand going to her mouth. This was really bad. She had gone up to Megatron, attempting to use her powers once more on him.
But when nothing happened, Anika felt her heart sink. Tears formed in her eyes. She couldn't revive the dead. That was one thing her powers couldn't do.
"Slag! This isn't good. They're both dying," Ratchet said.
"Is there anything we can do?" Savoy asked, going up to Jessica and Optimus.
"Bond with them. The bond must become stronger or else we lose both of them," said Ratchet.
"Tell me what to do," said Savoy.
~~~000
Omega Supreme gripped Quintessa in his servo, slowly crushing her. Quintessa couldn't get away. She tried, but she was being crushed.
"Your punishment is death for treason," Omega Supreme said.
He fully crushed the witch, killing her. He let her body fall to the surface below. He watched as the Dinobots tore apart Infernacus, killing the combiner.
"It would seem Lockdown is still here," Drift said, pointing towards the docked ship.
"Let's go take out the slagger," Hound suggested, pulling out a gun. "Then he won't hurt anyone else."
"Good idea. Maybe we can find some good stuff in there to help out the boss," said Crosshairs.
The trio left towards the ship, planning to sneak aboard and take it over. Well, and arrest Lockdown for his treason against Optimus and aiding Quintessa. Luckily Unicron wasn't awakened.
Omega looked back at the Nemesis, getting closer to it. He was worried about his Prime. He could feel the spark starting to fade out. He just hoped they could save him in time. The other Decepticons and Autobots went with the trio to get Lockdown.
"Please be strong, Optimus Prime," Omega Supreme said.
Anika had tears in her eyes. She already couldn't bring Optimus' brother back, what if she lost her sister too?
Ratchet had shown Savoy what to do and he lifted both Jessica and him into Optimus' chest cavity. If this was going to work Optimus' spark would attach itself to both humans Jessica and Savoy.
Ratchet watched in amazement as Optimus' spark had gotten weak for a moment then blazed to life as tendrils broke apart and some went into Savoy's chest and into his heart. The others went into Jessica's heart while all three of them yelled out together at the same time.
"What happened?" Anika asked.
"They overloaded," Ratchet said as Anika smirked.
"They just had an orgasm?" she asked as Ratchet scanned for that phrase and rolled his optics.
"It means the same thing, femme," Ratchet growled.
"Wise ass," Anika said as she turned her head toward Megatron.
She felt tears sting her eyes once more.
"I can't bring him back from the dead, I can't do that," Anika said as tears ran down her face.
"I know," Ratchet said with a sigh as Starscream walked up to Megatron's broken body, never hiding the fact he was crying.
It was then Anika thought of something, she thought of the third movie and what Optimus did with Sentinel. Could the Matrix be used to power up Megatron's spark?
"I think you got us lost again Hound," said Crosshairs.
"No I didn't," said Hound, looking around the room.
"Yeah, then where are we?" Crosshairs asked.
"Uh...… in the ship," Hound said.
"Well duh," said Crosshairs.
"Just remember to be stealthy," said Drift.
"We'll be fine. Lockdown has a lot of things in here though," said Hound. He looked at a creature in a cage.
"Hound, don't do it," Crosshairs warned.
"Awe, he don't look dangerous in there," said Hound. The creature opened up, showing wet and dripping organic flesh. "Oh, that is just festering with ugliness."
The creature spat a green gel at him. Hound jumped back, screaming as the gel got on his face.
"I'm hit! It burns! Oh, I think it's acid!" Hound shouted, before looking at it. "Ah, it just shizzled. That's it, I have to kill you now. You're just too disturbing to look at. Take that, bitch."
Hound shot the creature, killing it.
"I would love to have caught that on video," said Crosshairs with a laugh.
"Yeah, go suck it up," said Hound.
"This way. I believe Lockdown is over here in the command room," said Drift, leaving the room. "The others are taking out any guards."
"Then better grab these if we're going to arrest him," said Hound, grabbing a pair of stasis cuffs off the wall.
The trio walked for a while, sneaking around and looking for the mech. And just with their luck, they found him recharging alone in one of the rooms. They pounced the mech, startling him out of recharge. Hound slapped the stasis cuffs on, Crosshairs and Drift pulling the mech up and to his pedes.
"What is the meaning of this? Release me!" Lockdown demanded.
"No can do," said Hound.
"You're under arrest Lockdown," said Crosshairs.
"For what?" Lockdown demanded.
"For capturing our Prime, tormenting his mate, and then giving them to Quintessa, who wanted to revive Unicron," Drift said. "Let's go. I will tell the others that the ship is ours now."
The three left back outside with their prisoner, dragging him with them as they went to the Nemesis. They could see Omega Supreme guarding the ship. They took Lockdown to the brig, tossing him in and making sure he stayed there and disabled all his mods on him so he didn't get away. And they waited to see if their leader would be okay.
~~~000
Optimus onlined, looking up at the unfamiliar ceiling above him. He felt Jessica and Savoy close to him. Well, rather in him to be more specific. He carefully sat up enough to look around him, fans still on high from his powerful overload.
"Ratchet? What happened?" Optimus asked.
"You were in stasis. We nearly lost you and Jessica. Luckily Savoy had saved you two," said Ratchet.
"He is bonded with us now?" Optimus asked.
"Yes," said Ratchet.
Optimus nodded before gasping, remembering what had happened.
"Megatron! Where is my brother?" Optimus demanded.
Ratchet looked away from this Prime. He was silent.
"Ratchet? W-Where's Megatron?" Optimus asked again.
Ratchet looked over to the mech. Anika was still near him, crying. Optimus swallowed, moving the two humans out of his chest and set them down. He went to his brother, shaking as he got closer. He couldn't feel him in the brother bond anymore. There was nothing but an empty space, void of his brother's spark.
"B-brother," Optimus stuttered, tears pooling up and spilling out his optics. "You sacrificed yourself for me."
"I can't heal him Optimus. I'm sorry. I just can't bring back the dead," said Anika. "But there may be a way to bring him back."
"How?" Optimus asked, looking to the younger human.
"The Matrix," said Anika.
Optimus remembered what it had done for him. He nodded, taking it out of his chest. He hoped that this would work. He pressed the relic to his brother's chest and prayed.
The Matrix lit up as bright light shot out and Optimus could hear his brother's spark relight. Megatron's armor started to transform and change, shocking everyone, as Megatron form took on more of a true gladiator appearance.
"Snap," Anika said. "Always liked that form, kick ass form," she said as Ratchet picked her up with a huff.
"Get over here," Ratchet replied.
Optimus smirked at his sire's jealousy. While he glanced down at his brother, and held him.
"I was so scared I had lost you," Optimus said.
"Thank you, brother," Megatron replied.
"No, thank you for what you did for me," Optimus said.
Megatron tightened his hold on his baby brother.
Several hours later….
The others heard their very wired up Prime and his mates going at it.
"You do know there needs to be soundproof rooms right?" Cade asked.
"Why?" Anika asked.
"Why?" Cade asked.
Anika shrugged and laughed.
"I have absolutely no shame," Anika giggled.
Cade rolled his eyes then.
"Good thing, you are not my daughter, I would have you locked up forever," Cade said as Anika cackled.
"Yeah right, nice try," Anika said as Ratchet bent down and picked her up.
"Now, let's beat Optimus and his mates, shall we?" Ratchet said.
Anika giggled as Ratchet walked away. Cade turned around toward his daughter then.
"If you EVER and I mean EVER has sex with Speedracer I am going to lock you in your new room in here!" Cade said as Tessa rolled her eyes.
"Dad, I am not a kid," Tessa said.
"Mr. Yeager," Shane started to say.
"Shut it, Speedracer, just shut it!" Cade said walking away mumbling to himself about locking his daughter up for her own good.
"Ratchet, come on," Anika whined.
"I'm busy Anika," Ratchet said, working on the wiretap that was shot.
"But I want to frag," Anika said.
"Afterwards sweetling," said Ratchet.
"Fine," Anika said, hopping down. She had an idea. "I'mma go get food while you do that."
"Make sure it is healthy," said Ratchet.
"I will," said Anika. "Better be done when I'm finished."
Anika headed out to the rec room, seeing her sister there. She went up to her, sitting down next to her and grabbing some chocolate.
"Hey sis. Thought you were with Ratchet," said Jessica.
"Yeah, I was. He's busy," said Anika. She suddenly got an idea. She and Ratchet had bonded, so she could use the bond to tease him. "I wanna frag, but since he is busy, I'll just have to use the bond."
"You figured that out too?" Jessica asked with a smirk.
"Heck yeah. Show him not to ignore me," said Anika.
Jessica laughed, knowing her sister was so funny. She could see her sister smiling widely, knowing that it was working. Jessica got the idea and started to do the same with her mates, just teasing with light touches. She wondered how long it would take for them to come and who would come first. It didn't take long for Ratchet to come into the room, going straight for his mate.
"You sassy femme," Ratchet said, giving her a kiss. "You are in so much trouble. Slagging tease."
"Guess you have to teach me a lesson, Lord Ratchet," Anika said.
"That's it," Ratchet said, taking her to their quarters.
Jessica laughed, having at her sister being taken off by a clearly aroused mech.
"I wouldn't be laughing, sweetspark," Optimus said from behind her.
Jessica turned to see him and Savoy standing there, their arousal also evident.
Jessica stared at both of them, Savoy's bulge in his pants very evident and Optimus' optics bright pink. The next thing Jessica knew was Savoy had picked her up and Optimus bent down and picked them up taking them to their quarters.
The ship was filled with screams of pleasures as two snarky females learned never to tease their mates/mate.
If they ever did learn their lessons that is…...
The End…..
