Eighteen years ago
"Prime...there is no time for games" Megatron yells
Prime stops the young one. "I'm sorry. He needs some energon, he is hungry"
"How are you suppose to be a Prime, and babysit, at the same time?" Megatron says
"Baybsit, No, I'm his parent, it's my job...now..." Prime says "He was lost, but I'm here, to help him, raise him, he is the future, the youngs ones are the future"
Bee looks at the con he gives a little smile. Megatron heart warm up a litte he shakes it off.
"Ahh...you waste your time" Megatron storms away "I'm leaving"
"Megatron..wait...we can still work this out" Prime says
"That kid, will be the death of you"
Prime hugs the little one tighter. "Megatron...I..." He is gone. Prime shakes it off. He recently got the Matrix of Leadership. He is working even harder than before. He don't mind, he is working for a better future, a better future for "Bumblebee"
back to Six months ago
Optimus is staring blankly at the ground. Everything around him is blank, nothing to hear, nothing to see. Optimus cries out in pain, fear, anger. He places Bee down gently, laying him in front of him. "No NO NO" He yells as he place his head on his hands. He hugs himself, he sways back and forth, crying out in pain. Arcee hugs him, Prime didn't feel her, he kept crying.
"Optimus...please..." Arcee says to him "Optimus..."
"NO not my son! Not my kid!" Prime keeps yelling "No no!"
Arcee makes him look at her "Prime, we need you right now. We need you..."
"I...can't...I can't..." Optimus cries "No...No..." NOO!"
It's been six days, since it happen. Optimus hasn't said a word, hasn't been seen, hasn't done anything. He just stays lock inside his quartars. He hasn't touch energon for the whole six days. He hasn't move from his spot. He is lost. Magnus is trying his best to lead the Bots. So far, he is handling it well, but there is something always missing. Magnus is a great leader, but there are times where he breaks, he can't take this much pressure. He sighs, what can he do, what is he doing. Everytime he ask those question he goes deep down a hole. Then he sees a light, he reaches for it and holds a hand.
"Dad...come on...we have to listen to the reports"
"Okay, okay, Strongarm...I'm going" Magnus laughs
He walks in to see Ratchet. He is staring at Prime's door.
"I've tried talking to him, he won't let anyone, inside" Ratchet says "he is slowly..."
"Ratchet...he lost his son. HIs child" Magnus says "That pain...he is so lost."
"Magnus...we are in the middle of war. We...He...need to lead on. We can't stop this alone"
"He needs more time"
"It's been six days, We don't have time" Ratchet says "We are all still hurting, but we have to move on. Bee will want us to move on"
"I'll...talk to him" Magnus says
Magnus is in front of Prime. He looks so different, so weak, so tired, his eyes are dull, deadlike. It's like he didn't get any sleep. Magnus cups Prime's face.
"Brother...look at me"
Prime didn't move at all. He can't hear him, he doesn't want to hear him.
"Brother please...talk to me" he says "I'm hear to listen...I'm hear to talk"
"Leave me..." is all he says
"Optimus, We need to move forward, we need to keep up. I need you, I can't do this alone. I need you...we need you"
"I can't..." Prime says "it's over, My son..."
"I know, I know...but please, Bee would want us to move on" Magnus says "Let's fight Prime, for our future...the future of the young ones"
"There is NO future!' Prime yells
"There is! Families are still out there crying for help, in danger, please...we have to help them"
"It's TOO late" Prime says
"Prime...I know...how you feel"
"Feel...?" Optimus whispers.
Magnus sighs "Prime...I..."
The door bust open. "Megatron! He is attacking...the base..."
Magnus growls "Prime...please...come with us...we need your help" He looks away. Ultra Magnus shakes his head. "Let's go"
Magnus is out, he keeps an eye on his girl. Ever since he saw Megatron just...take away Bee. He doesn't ever want to go through that. He is protecting her, over protecting her. He is has her close to him. He is not letting her out of his sight. All that changes, when something big explodes from out of nowhere. All being knock out. Magnus is now scared, this is how it happen. This is how it started. He tries to wake up, he tries to move. His vision is blurry, but he is looking for her.
"LET GO!"
Magnus spark stops
"Let GO HELP ME!"
Magnus spark is beating rapidly, "No...No..."
The same thing is happening, but to him. He needs to get up, come on, get up he keeps yelling to himself.
"Dad...!"
Magnus vision comes back, he sees Strongarm, hold by the chokehold. "NO NO NO!"
He doesn't want this to happen to him. He doesn't want to be like Prime, he knows that is selfish, but he can't lose her.
"MEGATRON!" Magnus yells "STOP!"
He keeps laughing, the con keep laughing. Ultra Magnus gets up, he runs to her. He gets shot at. His leg is injure, just like Prime's. "It can't be happening, no...how?"
He crawls to her. He needs to be fast, faster than Prime.
"Megatron!' Magnus yells "You are a conquer, a gladiator, but you are not a killer. You have to stop! please let her go!'
He didn't even listen, he just keeps laughing. "It's all over now" Megatron yells
"NOOO!"
Megatron is about to stab her until something shoot him. He growls as he stumbles back. He gets shot again, he keeps getting shot. He growls as he falls to his knees. Magnus is wondering what, or who is shooting at him. He sees Strongarm running to him. He catches her in a hug. He is hugging her tight. "Who...is...?"
"Megatron! There is no where to run!"
Magnus looks to see Optimus. His eyes widen in awe, in fear. His brother, is walking towards him, he can sense something different. Prime looks more intimidating, he is different, really different. His eyes, you can see the red glow, the red swirls around his body. Optimus, what happen to you? Is all Magnus can think about. He leads Strongarm to the back, away from them. Every step Prime takes he can feel his steps, can feel the pressure, the ground shaking. Megatron, couldn't move, he is surprise, Prime is different, too different, he barely recongnize him.
"Prime...what...what..."
Prime shoots him right in the mouth. "SHUT UP!"
Megatron crashes down, hurtng. He gasp for air, that shot, it would have killed him. Prime didn't give enough power to kill, but enough to damage his mouth. Megatron, struggles to get as he feels Prime getting closer to him. He cries out he gets shot again. Prime didn't even hear the yells from his friends, from his conrades, all are afraid of who he is now. They that he is hurting, but ths, how can this be? Magnus gets up, he needs to stop him.
Prime grabs Megatron by the throat, he lifts him up. Megatron eyes widen, he notice that prime is a lot taller, a lot bigger than him. This is not good, Megatron needs to get free. Prime squeezes his throat, Megatron gasp for air. He is about to pass out but Prime let's go of him. The con goes striaght down to the ground. He coughs, trying to get some air. He then feels a sharp pain on his stomach area. He yells out in pain, he sees Prime hand, ripping a big part of his side. Prime kicks his head, with all his might. The con felt like his head is about to fly off. He gets turn over, and he feels a punch, then another. He gets beaten up, getting pumbled, Prime is not stopping.
"AAHHHHHH!" is all Prime yells. Megatron tries to his best to block, but it's too much, the pain, his mouth. Prime is landing those punches with everything he got, he is not allowing Megatron to breath. Megatron can feel part of his helm, breaking apart, spilling out energon. Megatron is close to fading. Prime notices and stops.
"Prime...please..."
Optimus shoves his gun down Megatron throat, "I'll shoot you! Right here! RIGHT NOW!"
The bot is glaring at him, with so much anger, so much pain, all in one. Megatron shakes his head, tears slowly forming.
"DIE Megatron DIE!"
Optimus is about to pull the trigger, but he feels a strong hit on his side. He stumbles off of Megatron. Megatron looks to see Magnus, standing in front of him, he is protecting him.
"Than...thank...you" Megatron tries to say. Magnus stares back at him with anger.
"I'm not saving you. I'm saving Prime!' You can go to hell" Magnus says. He sees Prime charging towards him "NOW RUN!'
Soundwave jumps in front of his leader. He groundbridge him to their head quarter. Optimus sees that Megatron is gone, he yells out in anger.
"HOW could YOU!" yells Prime
"You were about to kill him. You know, that's not how we do things"
"He needs to die, I have to kill him, with my own hands'
"NO! Killing him is not the answer"
"It is, I'm going to kill him. I will kill him"
"NO, You are not. You are staying in your room. I will not let you go out to battle like this"
"You can't stop me" Prime warns.
The bots start walking towards their head-qaurters. Optimus is standing alone, in his room, trying to get use to the new power, he got. He doesn't know how he got the power, this red light, his red eyes, but he feels so good. He needs this, he has to do this. That's why he got the power. HIs rage, it's all he is going with, he is letting his rage take over.
"Magnus...we need to talk to him" yells Ratchet
"You think talking will solve everything. Optimus is full of rage, I don't know what to say to him" Magnus says "I don't know how I can help him!"
"You must do something!"
Magnus sighs, this has been a long day. He almost lost his daughter, his little girl. He is glad Optimus saved her, but Optimus did wrong. They don't kill, that's not how they run things. No one's life should be taken away.
hours before
The door bust open. "Megatron! He is attacking...the base..."
Magnus growls "Prime...please...come with us...we need your help" He looks away. Ultra Magnus shakes his head. "Let's go"
Optimus hears them running towards the danger. He can hear the foot-steps, the yelling, the talking. He can hear them plan something out. Prime blinks a few times. He turns around to see Sideswipe, he is running alone now. Bee and Sideswipe, always tag-team, always stick together. Optimus spark starts aching all over again. He notices one person didn't come out running. He stares blankly at the room next to him. He can hear her, he can hear her crying. "Arcee..." He hears the crying close now, right outside his room. He sees her, she walks in to sit in front of him.
"Optimus, I know this is hard for you but we need you. We are still fighting for our lives here. Megatron is still out there, ruining the world. We need stop him, for Bee." She says "Bee, fought for us, with us, he fought for a better future. He wanted to fight, We need to keep fighting for him. Keep fighting Optimus, for your son"
Optimus closes his eyes.
ˆBee-is gone
Optimus, Bee is no longer with us
You have to let him go
Bee will always be with you
I'm sorry Optimus, there is nothing I can do
"I love you dad" Bee smiles. As he did Bee shatters, right before his eyes.
Optimus opens his eyes, Red, eyes. Arcee gets up wondering, what is happening.
"My son...is gone" Optimus says "He is no longer with us. He is gone. There is no point in FIGHTING!" He starts getting louder as he speaks, the red swirl, coming from his spark, the matrix, turning red instead of blue. "BEE Is GONE!"He yells at the top fo his lungs, as he did something explodes from under him, a red light flases, swirls around him, building power around him. He feels his body, growing, getting stronger. Arcee flies back from the power, she looks to see him growing, the red swirld traveling around him.
"Optimus...wait..."
Optimus settles down, Arcee gasps.
"Optimus...are you okay? Optimus"
His eyes are pure red now, no longer those blues eyes she always love to see. He didn't say anything, He hears someone yell Megatron. He snaps, he charges off.
"He is going to DIE!" Optimus runs to where Megatron is at. He sees him, holding a young bot. He can't see who it is, because of his red sight. He takes out his gun,
Megatron is about to stab her until something shoot him. He growls as he stumbles back. He gets shot again, he keeps getting shot. He growls as he falls to his knees. Magnus is wondering what, or who is shooting at him. He sees Strongarm running to him. He catches her in a hug. He is hugging her tight. "Who...is...?"
"Megatron! There is no where to run!"
Megatron is laying down on his berth. He is recharging, healing. He can't believe Prime would do this to him. Prime was fighting him with so much rage, so much that he felt like Prime is about to kill him. Megatron knew, that Optimus was going to kill, good thing Magnus was there.
"Soundwave, Why is Prime so made at me?' The con says
Soundwave doesn't answer right away, he thought that Megatron knows, or maybe the idea of why Prime wants to kill him. He shakes his head.
"Megatron stop playing. You know why?" Starscream says
"I don't...I don't remember..."
"You killed his son!" Starscream yells "You killed him, you showed him no mercy. You just took his life away"
"Wait...all I remember is power, so much power going through me. I felt so great. I decided to use it to win. I end up killing the young bot."
The cons look at each other. All wondering why their leader doesn't remember.
"You were about to kill Magnus's girl too?'
"WHAT!" Megatron says
"Megatron...I know we want power, we want everything, but killing the youngs, That I can not follow" one of the cons says
"But...I don't remember doing..."
"We need to find out more." Shockwave says "Megatron is telling the truth. As he was killing Bee, he kept laughing, and laughing, he did the same with Strongarm. I think something is going on"
All went quiet.
"We have to find out quick, before Optimus really comes to kill us all" Megatron says
Megatron, how would he fight against Prime.
More to come
