The next day, Optimus sat in the office, making signatures, on various requests.
Until Elita contacted him. Elita, had had promised to hold workout training, for young rookie soldiers. And skywarp was the hot rod child guard.
"Optimus, come to the hospital soon," Elita said on the radio over the phone.
"Why?" Optimus asked.
we were in field exercises, in the mine, with rookies. And we found Soundwave. And in poor condition, "Elita announced.
"What! I'll be there right away." Optimus said, and hurried to the hospital.
"Unbelievable, Soundwave went looking for Megatron, two years like that, and disappeared like that. And now ... He's here again." Optimus thought, hurrying to the hospital.
Optimus came to the hospital and was referred to a special ward, Ratchet and Elita were already there.
"Report," Optimus said breathlessly.
"Yes, the Soundwave is in poor condition, due to a lack of energy, and in addition he has experienced tough, in search of the Megatron, from space. Ratchet said, and looked at the papers.
"Is the situation serious?" Optimus wanted to know.
"No, no luckily, he's recovering, he just needs to rest." Ratchet said.
Optimus nodded, and asked if he could chat with Soundwave.
"Yes, but don't burden him." Ratchet warned.
"What about Frenzy, Rumble, Ravage, and Laserbeak? Are they okay?" Elita asked.
"Yes, although they are perhaps in the worst condition, the strain on the trip was too much for them. But the situation already looks good." Ratchet said.
"All right," Optimus and Elita said, and Optimus went to see the Soundwave lying in his bed.
"Optimus ..." Soundwave said weakly.
"Don't strain yourself, just rest, I just want to ask you a couple of questions if it fits." Iotimus asked.
"The request ... accepted," Soundwave said.
"First I want to ask, what did you do in the abandoned Energo mine?" Optimus asked.
"Answer: I'm looking for fuel," Soundwave replied.
"And have you found Megatron? And why are you looking for him?" Optimus asked for more, holding his hands behind his back.
"Explanation: I have not found Lord Megatron, and why am I looking for him? The answer: he is our leader of the Decepticon." Soundwave said.
Optimus took a short break from the interrogation because the Soundwave sounded tired.
"Okay, one more question. Don't you trust me or other Autobots? We're all transformers." Optimus finally asked.
"I know that, but it's not about that, it's Megatron is the leader of Deceptico, and I respect him. That's all." Soundwave said.
Optimus looked badly at the Soundwaves from the dents.
"I understand," he said at last.
Optimus and Elita later returned home, skywarp playing with Smokescreen and Hot rod.
He was pretty tired playing with the little ones. And so he was happy when he got to leave, but he had had fun.
"Dad! Mom! I can already transform! Look!"Smokescreen proudly announces, and turned into a small racing car,
"Oh Smokescreen, congratulations," Elita said, clapping her excited hands.
The smoke shield turned back into a robot and hugged his mother.
"Good boy, I'm proud of you." Optimus said proudly.
"Thank you dad." Smoke protection said with a smile.
"Dad," Hot Rod said suddenly. He already knew how to sit watching everyone happily on the floor.
There was silence in the room.
"Father!" The hot rod said again and laughed.
"Good boy! You said your first words." Optimus praised and hugged his youngest son.
"Our big boys," Elita said proudly, and next the whole family made a big family hug.
Later, while Hot rod and Smokescreen were asleep, Optimus decided to talk to his wife.
"I'm not entirely sure I did the right thing when I let Yoketron take care of Starscream, but Starscream deserves a chance." Optimus said.
Elita thought for a while and so she replied.
"So, you did the right thing, and I'm sure Yoketron part, to help Starscream." Elita said and hugged her husband.
"Thank you dear, thank you for supporting me." Optimus said and kissed Elita.
Anytime, darling, anytime. "Elita whispered to Optimus.
So Optimus knew the decision wasn't an easy one, but for sure things would go well, maybe Starscream could still turn into a better Bot. Perhaps.
To be continued.
