How is it so far?
Chapter 7
five days before
"Make him...lose his mind" Magnus says
"Yes. Deep down he is still hurting. He still misses his son. We have to trick him." Primal says
"How...?" ask Megatron
"You said Arcee, is still with him. We have to get to her. She has to get inside Prime's head" he says
"We can't get to Arcee" Ratchet says
"I know someone who can. Rattrap, he can sneak in, and tell Arcee what she has to do" Primal says
"Okay...what can she do?"
"Make him sleep, as he sleeps, she will whisper in his ear. Telling him that Bee is gone. And then, keep telling him, that he is failing"
"Failing?"
"Yes, He thinks what he is doing is working. Well it is...but we have to make him think otherwise"
Magnus nods "Okay,...let's see this through"
Arcee hears from a rat. She is walking around the base, wondering how to talk to him. He won't sleep, well while she is around. He does take naps, but sleep, no. He says that he needs to stay ready. She knows that she has to get to his head. She sees him, he is growling as he is staring at the screen. He can see the other bots, not working hard. He yells, they have to pick it up, if they want to live. She runs to him to stop him.
"Prime...you need to sleep" she says "You are not thinking straight...here...let me help you"
Prime is hesitant, he doesn't trust her.
"I don't need any sleep"
"Prime!' she yells. He looks at her, how dare she raise her voice at him. He is about to hit her, but he stops. He sees someone in yellow. She turns to see where he is looking at. Her eyes widen, Who is that? Who is that!" She heard that someone else is going to help her, someone else is going to get inside Prime's head. She sees it run away.
"BEE!" Prime yells
"Prime STOP!" she says "You are imagining things, now get some rest"
He blinks a few times, trying to come back. He knows he saw him but how? How can that be! Arcee can't believe it either, who is that bot. She wants to know, hopefully, the rat bot can explain to her.
"Cheetor...you okay?" Primal ask
"Yes, he saw me. He believed that it was Bee" he says "It's working"
"We have to be prepared, he is going to go after you now"
"Don't worry. We will be ready"
Prime is losing his mind. He keeps hearing voices, saying that he failed. That everyone is going to betray him, that Bee is still here, watching over him. He keeps seeing the same yellow bot. When he sleep, he has nightmares, Bee yelling at him, telling him that he is monster. Prime is not a monster, he is a leader. He knows what he is doing for Cybertron. He can't keep this up. What can he do to stop this! Arcee knows this plan is working. She has been whispering to him while he sleeps. She keeps yelling out that the yellow bot is still out there. Prime is slowly losing it, but at the same time, his power is growing. Optimus is going to stop these VOICES!"
Present time
"OPTIMUS!" The Prime's yells. Primal blocks the swords, and are staring at each other. Primal can see the hate, the pain in the Prime's eyes. He can see so much pain. Primal can also see that he is lost, that all his rage is all there. He is blinded by rage. Primal pushes him off, he yells at him.
"THIS ENDS PRIME!"
Optimus laughs out loud. He charges to him again, but the ape blocks the sword again. This time he goes down to his knee. Prime hit him with all his might, and Primal wasn't ready for the impact. Prime swings his sword but he kicks the other bot instead. Primal flies back with so much force. That kick, just that one kick can send him flying. Primal hits the building behind him. he yells in pain. He looks to see the Prime already charging towards him. He gasp, he flips out of the way. Prime punches the wall, making the building break, and crumbling down. Primal looks at the building with wide eyes, Prime just brought the whole building down. Luckily this place is evacuated. Optimus turns to him, his eyes glowing bright red. This is going to be hard. Primal gets ready to fight, he is going to stop him.
As the leaders are fighitng the others are fighting as well. Prime's army, the Red Knights are attacking Magnus group. He is distracting them, hoping they will leave the leaders alone. He did destroy their base, he leads them away from the fight scene. Magnus gather everyone he can think of. He is fighting alongside Megatron. The Autobots and Decepticons fighting as one, trying to stop this nightmare. Megatron looks to the leaders, Primal is really holding up, he is landing every blow to the Prime. Megatron can't fight Prime anymore, he is afraid of him. He goes back to fighting the enemies. Arcee joins the fight, as she did she stops to see a yellow bot. She lands in front of him.
"Oh Hey..." He says "I'm Cheetor"
"It was you all along, you've been sneaking in, playing with us"
"I'm sorry. I know Bee meant a lot to you but it had to be done."
"I know..." She fights alongside the bot. The place destroying, the buildings getting blown up. Everyone fighting their best, this is the last war. Magnus is going to end this. The Red army, is going to end here.
"I will STOP YOU!" Primal yells
"I'll like to see you TRY!" Prime kicks the bot, again making him lose his breathe. Primal coughs out energon. He gasp, no he can't be bleeding, not yet, he needs to fight. He shakes it off, he is not backing down. The pain, it hurts, he keeps saying. He needs to swallow it, he charges towards the red bot. Prime swings his arm to clotheline him. Primal ducks under, he turns to punch Prime right in the face, bringing him down.
Don't give him time to breath Primal says to himself. He swings his leg, kicking him right in the guts. He does it again. Primal swings his fist across the prime's head. Primal forms a shield and hits him across the head. Prime can see a piece of the helm of Prime' fly off. He's got to keep going, he hits again, another piece flies off.
Optimus yells and he catches the shield. He takes swings the shield back to the Primal, hitting him right under the jaw. Optimus gets up, he sees a blue line across his eyes. He touches it, he is bleeding, his head is bleeding. Optimus yells out, as he did a red swirl goes around him. Prime looks at the other leader. Primal gasp, he looks angry, intense, this is not good. Primal gets ready to fight. As he did he felt a punch up his gut. Primal yells out in pain as he goes to his knees. He sees a foot on the way, he blocks it, but he still flies back by the impact. Primal rolls across the ground. He coughs out energon. He looks up to see Prime, slowly walking to him. Primal can hear each step he takes, each step shakes the ground. Primal slowly gets up. As he did Prime is already charging. Primal jumps over him to land right on his shoulders. Primal starts punching him, hitting his broken side of the head. He hits him right in the eye. Optimus yells out in pain, he jumps up making Primal land hard on the ground with him right on top. Primal let's go. The big bot grabs the Primal around his neck, slowly bringing him up. Primal swings his sword across the Prime, making him let go. They go at it again.
Magnus yells out in victory as they kill the last bot. He goes to his knees, the army was strong, but with everyone together they can stop them. He looks around, he sees Strongarm, she is sitting next to Sideswipe, both are catching their breath. He sighs in relief. He gets up, he needs to check on the leaders now. He starts charging towards their fight. Megatron follows, along with Arcee. All stop all of the sudden. Primal is hurting, he is on the ground, coughing out energon. Optimus is bleeding from his head. Magnus shakes his head, Primal is giving his best, but is it enough. Prime forms a sword, with heat. He walks towards the other leader.
"NO!" Magnus shoot Prime. He stumbles a little, it didn't hurt him at all. He turns around to see his brother, with the gun pointing at him. Magnus won't let Prime kill the leader. Optimus charges his gun, getting ready to hit his brother, but stops when he sees Megatron running up behind him. As he sees him, memories come back, how Megatron killed his son. Optimus eyes grow red, along with purple swirls and blue swirls. He charges towards the two. Magnus looks behind him, he sees Megatron.
"Oh no RUN!' he yells. Megatron turns around to run, with Prime right behind him. Prime is faster then him, he reaches him, grabs him by the arm. He turns him around, he punchs Megatron striaght across his face. The con flies back rolling down the street. Optimus follows after him, he won't let him breath. He is not going to let him walk after this, he is going to end him, here and now. He kicks the con, he punches him. He is about to hit him again, but Magnus tackles him down. He rolls over and stands in front of his brother. Magnus gets ready to fight.
"Prime, You army is gone. Now, we will stop you!"
"For what?" Prime says "Cybertron is stronger, better, there is no more war. No more fighting, we all had to stay in line"
"Prime, we were fighting for freedom. Megatron wanted control over everyone, and that's exactly what you are doing"
He laughs "I'm doing much better than he will ever do. I am now the leader, the ruler. He failed, I didn't"
"This isn't right!" Magnus shoot at Prime, making him stumble back.
"Nothing can hurt me now Brother!" He charges towards him, and punches him right on the guts. Magnus shouts in pain, as he flies back landing hard on his back. Prime foot is already swinging down to his chest. He stomps on Magnus. "Stay down brother! You are weak"
Magnus twist his foot and he drops him. He gets on him, and he starts punching him. He keeps hitting the injured side of the head, hoping this will stop him, or at least slow him down. Prime blocks one, he punches Magnus across the face. He is now on top of him. He starts punching him the same way he did. Magnus tries his best to block but his fist are strong, with every impact, he can feel his body breaking.
"This ends, brother."
"PRIME!" Primal yells "You are fight is with me!'
He growls, this Primal guy, he is strong. He gets up, he walks towards the other leader.
"I'm not done yet"
Primal is attacking, defending, he tries everything. He continues to shout at him. Shouting that Bee does not want this. He keeps shouting that he is in the wrong. Something that will trigger Prime, so his anger can blind him, and Primal can take advantage. He sees Prime eyes, tears, are those tears. Primal holds him still, why is he crying? Optimus head is hurting, his spark is hurting, those word are slicing him open. He can't concentrate, he can't control his tears. He is so angry, how can he be crying. He yells out, he punches the other leader. He catches his neck, he holds him up. He is glaring at the leader. Optimus forms the sword, he aims it near the spark of the Primal. "I'm sorry leader. You are a strong one, I could've use you. Good-bye, leader"
"NOOOOo!" Prime gets kick right behind his knee. Prime goes down to one knee, Primal gets free, he falls to the ground. Prime turns to see who hurt him, who dare stop him. His eyes widen, its the yellow bot, he keeps seeing.
"Bee..." is all Prime can whisper. His vision is blurry, by the tears, by the energon he is bleeding. He focuses.
"Don't hurt him!' the bot yells "This is you PRIME! You are lost, you hurting. please stop this..."
"Bee...I can't." he whispers "This is the right thing to do!"
"NO! You are WRONG!"
Prime blinks a few times. He notices something different about the yellow bot. He sees it now, he sees who it is.
"You are not him" He says "Who are you!"
Prime grabs his neck, he brings him close to him.
"You've been playing me. Pretending to be my son" He growls You are not HIM!"
"No. I'm Cheetor, I'm here to help my leader"
Cheetor shoots the Prime, making the Prime lose his grip. Cheetor kicks, punches, he uses his combos to fight him. Prime stumbles, growls, imbraces the impact. He tries to fight back, but this kid is fast. He can't keep up. Cheetor stares at the Prime, he stops, he doesn't know what to do. Prime is hurt, he is bleeding, his father is bleeding, trying to catch his breath. He needs to retreat, this can't continue. He runs to his leader, he helps him up. He helps him up.
"We have to go..." he says
Primal nods. As they start walking, they look back, Prime is stilling kneeling. He is staring blankly at the ground.
"Is he okay?"Cheetor say
"I don't know Cheetor..."
Prime gets up, staring at the sky. He turns around to see the two, walking away from him. His eyes widen, he can see him, and Bee walking away, after a hard training. He yells out in anger, yelling at the top of the sky, wishing he is still here. Magnus walks up to his brother. He kneels in front of him.
"Prime, let's stop this. Let's help each other now. Let us help"
Prime looks around, he sees the young bots, getting some rest. The other helping others. He sees Strongarm, she is helping around the field. Prime's heart is hurting, his whole body hurting. His eyes going dark, red light coming around, swirling around. He looks at the Maximals. He narrow his eyes when he sees Primal and Cheetor.
Is the fight almost over.
