Optimus is now ruling Cybertron. How will it go?

Chapter 2


Megatron is crying, he can't stop crying. He yells out in pain, he tries everyday, to move his body. This is a nightmare. He cries out again. Please end me! He keeps yelling. He stops when he hears something. He looks around, to see a glowing purple tentencle like figure. His eyes glow up with hope.

"Soundwave, It's so good to see you" Megatron says

He didn't say much, he tries to untie him, to set him free but jolts keep shocking both of them. Megatron yells at him, to stop trying to set him free.

"I need you...I need you to give a message. We need help. Please, Soundwave..."

He nods in understanding. He gets ready to record.


Arcee is sitting down along the bridge, looking at the sky. She wonders what it will look like, without all of Prime's army scouting the air. She feels a hand on her shoulder. She jumps to defense mode, ready to shoot anyone on sight. She stops when she sees Soundwave. His hands up, telling her that he is not here to fight. He signals her, he has a message. Arcee eyes widen in shock.

"Ratchet!' Arcee yells "You were right. You were right all along!"

"What are you talking about" Ratchet says.

"Soundwave, he has a message, from Megatron!"

"WHAT!"

Soundwave walks in, proving that he does.

"Well play it!"

Autobots, if you can hear this, It's me Megatron. I'm still alive. I've been held captive for five long months. I hope you hear this message. I am truely sorry for I have done. I know you won't want to talk to me, don't want to even see me. I know you don't want to save me. After all I had done. I take full resposiblily about what is going on. I have no idea, what is really going on out there. I want to help stop this. I need your help. And I know you need mine. Please Autobots, it's our only chance.

"He is alive" Ratchet shakes his head "Soundwave where is he?"

"He gives the location"

"Okay, please wait outside, we will let you know what we will do" Ratchet says. He closes the door behind Soundwave.

"I'm sorry Ratchet, I can't. I won't be able to" she cries

"I know. Megatron, did...start all this." Ratchet says "But he is right, he is our only chance to stop Optimus"

"I can't!" she yells "Megatron...he...he made him become who he is! Because of MEGATRON! We lost Optimus, our Optimus!"

"I know...I know...but we have to. It's the right thing to do"

She cries out harder. She understands that he is their only chance. She can't trust him, she never will. She doesn't even want to see him. After what he did.

"I don't want to work with him either. He took something from us" Ratchet whispers

"Something! He took Bumblebee AWAY!" Arcee yells


Six Months ago

"Keep running, Don't stop. We have to get our of here" Prime yells. "Autobots, follow me!"

The bots and cons are fighting each other. All are destroying homes, cities, close ones, loved ones. Prime is trying his best to help his bots. Megatron wants power, he wanted to become a Prime, he wanted to lead the Robots. The other councils, didn't choose him. Prime was chosen. All see that Megatron had darkness in his spark. Megatron, full of rage gather bots, making his own army, he name them Decepticons. He starts to attack every single robot. Those who are against him, will perish. Megatron strikes first at the city hall. Killing, all the councils, along with Prime's mentor, Alpha trion. Optimus is rage tries his best to defend the Autobots. Those who are against Megatron are now Autobots, all are will to follow Optimus. He leads them away from the cons, trying to find a free spot. He stops, he doesn't see him, he doesn't see a yellow young bot. He shakes it off, maybe he is with someone else. He has to get to him. He shoots one con, injuring him. He tries to convince them that he can help, he can change all this. They have to trust him, but no, nothing. All don't want peace, all just want to rule, or want to follow a strong bot.

He keeps running, trying to lead the Autobots, to a save place. He fires, and injures. He is now fighting his way to find him. Optimus yells at the bots to go left, he goes the other way, he needs to find out.

"Arcee...where is?"

"Don't worry, he is right beside me. We are evacuating the families." she says

Optimus sighs in relief, "Where are..."

He didn't get to finish his sentence. He gets hit, falling back with great force. He gets up to see Megatron walking towards him. Prime shakes his head, he needs to stop him. He will stop him now. He runs to him, charging at him with his sword. He swings it, only for Megatron to stop his blow. They start fighting, hiting on another. Not one backing down. Prime knows this is wrong, fighting is never the answer, but Megatron, cannot be reason with. Optimus, all he can do is fight. All are fighting, all are trying to survive. The warriors, the wreckers, the scouts. He shoots, Megatron with all he got. Megatron flies off, he disappears. Optimus gets up, he takes a step he crashes down, he looks at his legs, his right one is damage. He can't stop now, he needs to find him.

Optimus looks around, to see where he can help. He stops when he sees all the bots, settling down, huddling up. He walks up to them, asking everyone if they are okay. It's been a whole two hours, since Optimus blasted Megatron, it's too quite. He wonders what is going go? He also notice that Arcee, isn't here with the bots, then that means. Optimus hears a loud explosion, making everyone take cover. Optimus turns to see the cons walking up them. Prime gets ready to fight, but something stops him, his spark stopping. He sees Arcee, being drag by the cons. She is tied up, she looks broken, beaten. No, how dare they hurt her. Prime starts running to them, with so much anger. He yells out, trying to get close enough to free Arcee.

"Prime, I will hold if I was you!" Megatron laughs

Prime looks at him, he stops dead in his tracks. "No..." he whispers

"Look, who I have here. I see him running around, attacking the cons, helping the young, He is really good, reallly good" Megatron says "Looks like he got it...from...you"

Megatron shoots the young bot on the arm.

"NOO BEE!" yells Prime

"Wait...wait...he means something to you...does he?"

"No...no...Megatron..." Optimus whispers

"Who is he to you? I think I remember who he is"

"Wait..."

"Bumblebee...was it?" he laughs

"Let him go! It's between you and me!' yells Prime

"I don't think so. He is comfortable here..."

Prime takes a step, but Megatron punches the scout.

"NO!"

"Don't move, or take a step forward. I will kill him!"

Optimus stays still, his spark is racing, the bots start to attack. Megatron moves the gun to the scouts head. Optimus turns around franticly, he yells at the bots to stand down. He lifts his hands up, hoping the bots will stop. "No...please...stay still"

The bots did as they are told. He turns to Megatron, he slowly walks to him. Megatron didnt move, but he did give a warning look. Prime stops.

"Megatron, let him go. You have to stop this. This war, this battle, everything. Everyone here are suffering, injured, all are tired. We are all tired. We can't do this. I don't want to do this. Listen, we can have a sit-down, we can talk all this out"

"Prime, I tried to talk before, but they didn't listen to me. I know what I was doing"

"NO! You can't just slave everyone, all deserve to..."

"Silence, Cybertron is weak if we continue this way. Others will come to destroy us, we need to be stronger, under my rule we can"

"There is no need to FIGHT. Others may come in peace...may..."

"NO. We have to be the strongest."

Optimus looks to see Magnus sneaking up to the Con. Prime needs to keep him distracted. He tries to talk more, hoping Megatron will make a speech. Or try something. Magnus charges his weapon. He shoots, hitting Megatron right on the arm. Bee is let go, he starts running away from the Con. Optimus dashes towards Bee, gets to him, he takes him by the hand, to lead him away from the cons. Optimus and Bee both get hit by Shockwave. Shockwave runs to them, he starts attacking both of them. Optimus and Bee work as a team, beating Shockwave like nothing. Optimus turns to Bee, hoping he is okay. Bee nods, "I'm fine...dad..."

Optimus sighs in relief, he hears a loud bang. He turns to see Arcee being set free. She tries her best to fight the cons.

"We have to help her" Bee says

"YOU stay here"

"I have to help..." Bee says "You trian me for this"

"Please...be carefuL" Prime whispers

They both run out to fight. He makes his way towards Megatron. He is fighting Magnus. Prime looks around to see Bee going towards Arcee. He keeps running, he is going to stop him. He is going to stop Megatron. Magnus gets injure, making Megatron free to run to Prime. He is running but takes a sharp turn, Prime gasps. He sees Megatron heading towards Arcee, where Bee is heading as well. Prime runs after him. He needs to stop him now.

As he takes another step, something big explodes, sending everyone away, All are knock out.

"HELP!"

Prime groans, he can hear something

"Help...Prime..."

Optimus gets up, he blinks a few times, it's blurry, but he sees Bee, Megatron has Bee in a chokehold. Prime gets up, he tries to run to him. Arcee gets up following behind him.

"BEE!" yells Prime. Megatron starts laughing "BEE!" Megatron squeezes Bee's neck, making him yell in pain "BEE!" Optimus keeps running, trying his best to get to him. His right leg, it feels like it's gone, but he must try. "BUMBELBEE! HANG ON!" He is now closer to him "DON"T do this! He is just a KID!" Megatron didn't listen, he just keeps laughing, "NOO NONO, take me instead!" Prime trips on something, he looks back to see a con. He shoot it. Prime gets up but gets his leg crush by another. Arcee kicks the con off. She gives him back-up. "HE is just a KID!" He starts running, trying his best to get to him "FIGHT ME!" Megatron keeps laughing, he then creates a sword. Prime eyes widen "NOOOO! Stop it! Please! MY SON!" Then everything goes quiet. Prime can only hear his spark beating, rapidly, but then slows down. All he can hear is his spark beating. He can feel everything him, falling down. All around him, everything cracking, breaking. His mind, stopping, nothing, all he is seeing, hearing, thinking is nothing. "Bee..." he whispers. Megatron laughs out loud when he lets go of Bee. Megatron starts walking away, he keeps laughing, telling Prime that he will be back. Prime didn't hear him at all, he just keeps crawling to him. "Bee..." he whispers. He reaches him, he cuddles him up to him. He looks down at him. "Bee...wake...up" Prime can't feel anything, Bee is not beating, his spark is gone. Prime didn't think about anything, didn't see his suroundings. He didn't listen to him, all he wants to see if Bee is okay. He didn't notice Ratchet already trying to help Bee. To Prime it felt like a whole hour, but it was only five minutes. Ratchet shakes him, shakes Optimus.

"Prime...listen to me...He is gone. Bumblebee is gone" Ratchet says

That's when it hit Prime like a rock.

"No no no no NO NONONONONOOOO" Prime yells out. He hugs Bee, close to him, close to his spark. "Bee...is alive, he is going to wake up...you'll see"

Arcee shakes her head, "Optimus...please..."

"He is still here. He is going to wake up. We are going to be okay"

Ratchet cries out "HE is GONE!"

Prime hugs him tighter, "NO NO. He is okay!"

"Optimus..." Arcee whispers "I'm sorry..."

Optimus stares blankly at the ground.
