Transformers Prime - The Jasper Chronicles

Chapter 8: Masters and Students

Disclaimer: Transformers Prime belongs to Hasbro, not me.


Decepticon Warship

The former second in command watches the video of Megatron being destroyed, along with their space bridge. Despite losing to their enemies, he had to thank them for getting rid of the Decepticon leader for him.

"Such a shame. But I applaud you, Megarton. You've certainly made a grand exit." Starscream was watching a recording of the Space Bridge's destruction. He shut it off when Soundwave arrived in the bridge. "Ah, Soundwave. Que the audio visual. I wish to address the troops."

Soundwave forward Starscream's message to every screen and speaker on the Nemesis. "The loss of Megatron, leader of the great Decepticon uprising, is certainly a blow to our cause. Yet we mustn't despair over his tragic demise. Instead embrace his ultimate sacrifice. And build upon the foundation he laid. With an even mightier hand."

Steve the Vehicon interrupted, "With all do respect, Commander Star...Uh..." He then corrected himself. "Lord Starscream."

"Yes, yes, what is it?" Starscream asked, annoyed.

"If we failed to conquer Earth under Lord Megatron's command. What hope do we have now while the Autobots still defend it?"

"Allow me to be crystal clear. I have studied a millennia under our former master. Thus I am equipped to lead you. I, Megatron's true heir, Lord Starscream, emperor of destruction!"

All the Vehicons in the bridge whispered doubts to each other. It was loud enough for Starscream to hear. He then grunted in anger and walked away. "What? What use are troops who can't rise to the task on inflicting unspeakable destruction in my name?" He then remembered something or someone. "But wait... Legend tells of one capable warrior. One who exist here, upon this very planet... One... who can be student... to my master."


Autobot Base

"Hey, Blue. Can you pass me the beaker?"

"Sure, Leo."

Blue Jacket passed the beaker to Leo. Ever since the Battle in Space, the Decepticons haven't planned anything... yet. Now, the blue autobot was helping his human companion with his science project.

"Thanks." Leo said. "Now, to pour the water in with the magnesium sulfate." He poured the water inside the beaker, which already had the magnesium sulfate inside. He then grabbed a straw and stirred it for a few minutes.

"Still can't believe you're actually making these crystals you were telling me about." Blue Jacket said in amazement. "S.R. would shout in excitement if she saw this."

"Yeah". Leo said, "I just want to make sure that I don't fail this science project... Like last year."

"What happened last year?" Blue asked.

"Uh..." Leo was about to say, "Let's just say that I was grounded for a month."

...

At another section of the base, Optimus stands alone in the main room. Ratchet checks on him, "Optimus, why so glum? This planet... All planets are finally free from Megatron's tyranny."

"I do not disagree, Ratchet. It's just... A small part of me hoped to change Megatron's mind... Not extinguished his spark."

"Optimus, he was not slain by your hands, by his own twisted arrogance!" Ratchet reminded him. Optimus only sighed in hesitation. The medic then looked down, remembering that Optimus and Megatron were the best of friends back on their planet before the War for Cybertron, "I'm sorry... I know the two of you had quite a history."

"But The Megatron whom I fought beside, perished eons age... The day he chose to become a Decepticon." He then turned his attention to the medic, "The Decepticons may be in disarray but, they aren't without leadership. And while Starscream is no Megatron, he is far from predictable."

Without warning, a loud BOOM was made, the whole area shook. Ratchet assumes the worst, "Decepticon! We're under attack." The two Autobots spot the origin of the blast. They rush to the spot. They hear someone coughing. It was Raf along with Bumblebee.

"It's no attack, Ratchet," Raf said, coughing from the gas from his volcano. "It's my volcano." He added when suddenly it dissolved a little, "Or was."

The field medic then looked at Blue Jacket and Leo working with a growing crystals kit.

"Um, what's up, Ratchet?" Leo greeted him. "Just doing these growing Crystals." Blue Jacket only gulped as Ratchet turned around to see Miko and Bulkhead working on their project.

"Hold still, Bulkhead," Miko said, with bulkhead holding a display of the Planet's of Earth Solar System, sitting on the ground, "Jupiter needs its red spot." she places the tip of a paintbrush into a can filled with orange paint, she takes it out of the paint can and the paint from the brush quickly drops onto the floor, "Whoopsie!"

"What... in the Allspark... is going on in here?!" Ratchet asked.

"We're working on our projects, Ratchet." Leo answered.

"Our projects are due tomorrow." Jack said.

"Maybe it needs one of these doohickeys," Arcee said, as she picked up a motorcycle part.

"You're a motorcycle, Arcee," Jack said, "Shouldn't you know how to build a motorcycle engine?"

"You're a human, Jack. Can you build a small intestine?" She countered.

"Well, you can't work on these projects here," Ratchet said, "You're...making a mess."

"But the science fair's a big part of our grade," Raf said.

"A very BIG part of our grade." Leo added.

"Yeah," Miko agreed, "If Bulkhead doesn't help me finish this model of our solar system…"

"Oh?" Ratchet said, interrupting the Japanese exchange student, "And what does Bulkhead know of your solar system, or Bumblebee of your volcanoes, or Blue Jacket of your growing crystals, or…"

"Arcee of our motorcycles?" Jack asked the medic, while Arcee looked at the teenager.

"Precisely!" He replied "We're not earthlings. And they're not scientists."

"But the autobots are their guardians, Ratchet," Optimus said, "would it hurt to learn more of Earth by helping our young friends with their schoolwork?"

"Well, maybe our young friends should try learning more about Cybertron." The medic said, before walking away.

"What's his problem?" Leo asked.

"Let's just say that he misses his home… Like we do." Blue said. "He's still trying to adjust it."

"But you guys stayed on Earth for three years."

"True… But Cybertron was our home… Until Megatron had to destroy it, thanks to his conquest of power." Blue said. "Autobot or decepticon, it was our home for each and every one of us."

"Wow… I-I'm sorry."

"Don't be," The bot said. "It's not your fault that our planet's not alive anymore. Besides, I'm just happy that we can stay on Earth. It's a second home to every member of Team Prime… Well, every member except for Ratchet."

Both laughed as they continued to work on the project.

"By the way, are you a warrior?" Leo asked.

"Technically, I am a warrior, but I was a scout when I joined the old team, The Delta Team." Blue said.

"Why be on the scout level, if you're a warrior?" Leo asked.

"Well, I chose to be a scout in the team."

"But, I saw you in action a few times. You got some skill and speed."

"Thanks. Even Optimus was surprised when I chose to be a scout on the Delta Team."

"Did Prime promote you?"

"Well, yes and no." Blue said. "He said he could, since he has the Matrix of Leadership, but because I'm already a warrior in Team Prime, but a scout in the Delta Team, he told me that Arcee can decide when to promote me or not."


Jasper Desert Canyon

Two decepticons were at the top of the canyon. The seeker and the spymaster were looking for something...Or someone, that was around the area.

"During the Great War, so much Energon was hidden on this forsaken rock that are departed master sent some of Cybertron's greatest to guard it, true warriors now lying in stasis, waiting to be reawakened. Such folly that, late in life, Megatron searches distant space for warriors rather than here, beneath his feet."

That's when the sensor beeped. The seeker understood and wasn't happy about it.

"What do you mean you can't pinpoint his signal? I know we are close!" He then turned around and faced Soundwave, "Boost the power to your sensors!"

The silent decepticon boosted the power, finally getting a signal from it.

"Yes... There."

The decepticons then transformed and flew to the location of the signal.


Back at the Autobot Base, while everyone was doing their things, Raf was rebuilding his volcano while Bumblebee was talking to him about adventures on Cybertron. "And just like that, I finished off the Decepticons with my wrist cannons! Me and Cliffjumper got Arcee out of there alive."

"And you're still a scout-class. Then how do you make warrior-class?"

"Experience."

"But I've seen you in action. You're awesome."

"Thanks."

Optimus placed his hand on Bumblebee's shoulder. "I second your opinion, Raf. But Autobot life cycle are much longer than those of humans. And I'm afraid that our young scout still has much to experience."

The computer then started beeping, gaining everyone's attention.

"Exposed energon, and it's on the move," Ratchet said.

"And since we ain't moving it, guess who must be," Bulkhead said.

"Decepticons." Arcee said.

"Without Megatron?" Miko and Leo both asked.

"Unfortunately, Megatron's legacy will live on as others rise to take his place." Optimus said. "Autobots, you have projects to complete. Ratchet, I may require aid."

Ratchet looks at Raf's volcano, "Science fair is a big part of their grade. Perhaps I'm better suited to remain here and advise."

"Very well," Optimus said, and looked towards his scout, "Bumblebee, let us see about this energon in transit.

Bumblebee nodded and looked at his brother. "Want to come, Blue Jacket?" Bee asked/buzzed.

"Sure, bro." Blue Jacket said, before looking at Leo. "Good luck without me."

"Um, okay?" Leo said, looking confused. He then saw Ratchet turning on the Ground-Bridge.

"Blue Jacket, Bumblebee, roll out." Optimus said, as he and the two twins walked through the portal, disappearing in the process.

"Now, let's see your project, Raf." The medic said, walking towards the pre-teen's project.

"Um, sure." Raf said.

While Ratchet was working on Raf's project, Leo saw this, along with Jack and Miko. He then had an idea.

"If Ratchet does the work for us, we might get a good grade on our projects." Leo suggested, whispering.

"The same way I was thinking, Leo." Miko whispered back with a smile on her face.

"Mom might get off my back once she finds out that I got an B or above on my project." Jack added.


Back in the desert, Starscream and Soundwave got to the location of the warrior that was in stasis as a device embedded into a rock wall, moved out from the wall.

"Excellent, Soundwave. The Energon cube." Soundwave opened a compartment and pulled out a small Energon cube. He handed it to Starscream, who inserted it into the only opening in the tomb. The tomb and whoever is in the tomb began to power up. "Yes, the Energon infusion. It's working." The tomb door opened.

The Ground Bridge portal opened, with Bumblebee stepping out of it, followed by Blue Jacket and Optimus Prime.

"See any energon, Bee?" Blue asked.

Bumblebee buzzed in reply.

"No, it does not." Optimus said, before walking away, "Hold your positions and await my command."

"Yes sir, Prime." Blue said, then turned around to see his brother. "Where should we go?"

Bumblebee pointed at the rocks. "Let's hide behind these rocks." Bee beeped.

Back with the seeker and the spymaster, the device that was embedded in the wall finally opened, almost revealing the decepticon warrior they were seeking.

"Awaken warrior, and serve... your new... Master!"

The warrior was a cybertronian flier with a mostly green paint job with a little red and silver on him as well. He walked out of the device he was sleeping in, pounded both his fists together, and introduced himself as 'Skyquake'.

"Skyquake serves only one master!" He bellowed.

"Excellent. Your loyalty and devotion will set a fine example for the troops. No need to be timid, Skyquake, you may bow." Starscream said.

"You fail to grasp my meaning." Skyquake bellowed. "I am here on a mission, assigned to me by my one master, Megatron."

"Yes, him. Sadly Megatron is no longer with us."

"impossible."

"Why is this so difficult for everyone to accept? Skyquake, I located you. I awakened you. Thus I, Lord Starscream, am now your master!"

Skyquake was about to crush him, but was interrupted by Optimus. "It has been awhile, Skyquake."

The twins heard Optimus say as he walked towards the decepticons. "Skyquake?" Blue asked. He looked at his brother, who also had a questioned look on his face.

The enormous Decepticon shoved Starscream out of the way. "Optimus Prime. I haven't seen you since the battle of Technaar. Megatron ordered me to annihilate you."

"That was along time ago."

"That maybe, Prime. But my orders still stand."

Bumblebee and Blue Jacket listened to the conversation while watching from a distance, behind a boulder.

"Is this ancient war still worth fighting, when so many comrades have been lost and worlds destroyed?" Optimus asked. He then turned to Starscream, "If you want to be a true leader, Starscream, then stray from Megatron's path and lead the Decepticons toward peace."

"I would be willing to consider a truce…" Starscream said, "If you would be willing to bow before me, Optimus Prime."

"Again?!" Skyquake angrily asked, "Bow to this!" He then attacked the decepticon leader with his shoulder, causing him to be thrown towards a rock wall. Starscream transformed as soon as he got up and flew away.

"Skyquake, this is a new era in another world," Optimus said, "Side with the Autobots, and help me end this conflict forever."

"I will never side with a Prime!" Was Skyquake's answer before charging right at him, slamming him at a wall and then grabbing and throwing him.

"Optimus!" Bee shouted. Before he could go out there, Blue grabbed him.

"Optimus said to wait for his next orders, Bee." Blue reminded him.

"But he needs our help." Bee argued.

On a ruin building, Soundwave observed the battle. Starscream flew in an changed back to his original form. "What need have I for peace, when I have Skyquake? With some discipline, he will learn to respect his new master. And once it becomes known that he destroyed Optimus Prime under my command, all Decepticons will gratefully bow to me."

They watched as Optimus activated his blaster and shot Skyquake at his chest. However, Skyquake dodged as Optimus fired his blaster again and took out his own blaster, a machine gun, he fired the gun at Optimus's chest causing him to skid backwards.

Blue Jacket saw this. "Alright, scrap his orders!" Blue said. "Come on, Bee!" Blue got out behind his hiding spot, along with his brother. They started running toward different directions.

"Blue Jacket, Bumblebee, no!" Optimus said, trying to warn them.

The two autobots jumped, activated their blasters and shot at Skyquake in the back. Skyquake felt this, he turned around, shooting his gun at bumblebee, who was jumping from rock wall to rock wall and tried to attack him with his fists and Skyquake threw him towards a wall, while Blue Jacket hid behind a rock, Stealthily. Meanwhile, Optimus approached Skyquake and moved his gun towards the sky, Bumblebee got up and tried to tackle him, only for Skyquake to throw him across the ground.

Blue Jacket drove towards the seeker warrior and kicked his face twice. "How about you pick on someone your own size?" Blue said, about to punch his face. However, Skyquake grabbed his fist before he could.

"I was… Before you interfere." The decepticon sneered. He then threw him towards the wall as well.

Blue Jacket got back up and regrouped with Prime and Bee. "Any ideas?" he asked.

"He's not transforming." Bee said.

"Skyquake has not yet acquired a vehicle mode," he explained.

Skyquake rushes towards them, holding his gun.

"Fall back!" Optimus ordered and the three autobots transformed into their alternate modes, reversed and made a U-turn before accelerating away, causing dust to fly into the air.

"So time has made you a coward, Prime?!" Skyquake said and began shooting.


Back in the base, Ratchet was 'helping' Raf with his volcano by turning it metallic volcano, and welding the metal with one of his tools that he has equipped inside his arms, "Let's see. "Where is it?" He asked trying to find one of his other tools

"Um… what is it?" Raf asked Ratchet.

"You'll find out," Ratchet told him before continuing to weld the metal together.

"But, Ratchet, shouldn't I be doing the work?" Raf asked him walking toward the volcano and touched it.

"Eh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't touch!" Ratchet said as he saw Raf touch the volcano, "Just watch... and learn." He then continued to weld the metal to gather.

"So, we're just gonna go help Jack and Miko finish their…" Bulkhead starts as he was getting bored of watching Ratchet do all the work..

"Without my supervision?!" Ratchet asked Bulkhead, "You want them to be right, don't you?" Bulkhead and Arcee then looked at each other for a second before turning back to Ratchet, "Then watch... a master... at work!" He then went back to welding the metal together.

Jack, Leo, and Miko watched this play out from above "Control freak!" Miko noted before looking at Jack and Leo.

"This might have been a big mistake..." Leo said, now realizing that the medic might cause more harm than good.

...

Two hours later, The field medic finished with Jack's, Miko's, and Raf's projects. This gave them a shock, especially Leo, who was now worried about his project. Ratchet was working on it in another area of the base, and he saw him do it. How he used the Energon, energon coloring, and the magnesium sulfate, mixed them together, and used a fast-programmer machine to speed up the process.

"Um, R-Ratchet?" Leo stuttered. "Are you sure this is going to bring up my grade?"

"Oh, it'll do MORE than just 'bring up your grade'." The field medic claimed, smiling of his work.

The 15 year old gulped a bit. "O-okay." He stuttered, walking back to his friends. "I don't think any of us are going to pass," he admitted, seeing them nod their heads at him. He then looked at the two-wheeler. "Hey, 'Cee, can I ask you something?" Leo asks.

"Sure, Leo." Arcee said. "What is it?"

They walked to another part of the base.

"It's about Bumblebee's brother. Was he blue all the time?" he asks in the nicest way possible.

The two-wheeler smiled, remembering Blue Jacket back then. "Well, he wasn't yellow, but he wasn't blue either," Arcee explained. "Back on Cybertron, his body armor used to be orange, until something happened to him on one of our missions. On one mission, The Delta Team went to one of the Decepticons' new factories. We discovered that they were trying to create some new type of energon. Whatever kind of energon they were trying to create, we had to shut it down. However, the decepticons pinned us down and separated us. Luckily, he got out of their grasp and tried to rescue us, until he got shot and fell into the energon chemical container."

"Wow…. Did he die?" Leo asked.

"That's the silly part." Arcee remarked. "When we were about to be done for, he came out of the blue chemical energon and shot the decepticons, freed us and then we destroyed their facility. After that, we saw him in his new paint job. We have called him 'Blue Jacket' since then."

"Whoa, cool." the fifteen year old exclaimed, hearing the whole backstory. "What was his old name when his body armor was orange?" he asked.

The two-wheeler giggled before answering his question. "The bots used to call him 'Orangebug'. He definitely didn't like that name when he was an orange bot back on Cybertron."

Leo giggled a bit. "Wow... just wow." Leo said.

After talking to the two-wheeler, he saw Jack, Miko, and Raf carrying their projects inside Bulkhead's vehicle mode. 'Well, better get my project from Ratchet.' he said to himself.

Once Leo got his project, Ratchet said to him to don't reveal it, until it's his turn in the human school classroom tomorrow.


Back at the desert, Starscream and Soundwave lost sight of the battle.

"We've lost sight of them. Soundwave, why aren't you tracking them?" Starscream asked.

The spymaster showed him another signal, which confused the decepticon seeker.

"What? What is it? A second Decepticon life signal? But Skyquake is the only sleeper buried in this area.

He then looked closely and realized where that signal came from.

"The site of our destroyed space 're not telling me... that life signal belongs...To Megatron?" The leader of the decepticons was now scared. He just became the master of them and he did not want his old leader to take it away from him! "B-b-but he was microns from the detonation point! Nothing could have survived that blast! Your sensors must be faulty! Ignore the contact! Delete the coordinates!"

However, Soundwave didn't. Besides, Starscream realized that he must make appearances and make sure he doesn't cause any suspicions.

"Oh, what am I saying? O-of course this... Must be investigated. If lord Megatron is up there, I shall bring him home." The spymaster nodded at his 'master', before getting new orders from him.

"Remain here and monitor the outcome. When Skyquake snuffs prime's spark, I must bear witness."

Starscream jumped off the canyon and transformed, flying up into the sky, heading to the location of the decepticon's destroyed space bridge. However, unknown to him, Soundwave sent his mini-con, Laserbeak to follow the seeker.

...

The autobots split up when Skyquake started chasing them when they felled back. The decepticon was now chasing Bumblebee and Blue Jacket.

"Take a left turn." Bee buzzed.

"Got it." Blue said, turning and following his brother, with Skyquake catching up to them.

"Take a hard right."

The two scouts kept doing twists and turns, but the decepticon still kept on chasing after them.

"We're not losing him." Blue reminded his brother

"I'm not trying to." Bee stated. "Left again."

They took the last left... Which led to an dead end. When they transformed and turned around, they see Skyquake walking towards them.

"It will be a shame to crush you two bugs, but it is my duty," Skyquake said.

Suddenly, Optimus showed up in his vehicle mode, transformed, and punched the decepticon's face, sending him into a wall. He then looks at his two scouts.

"Excellent strategy, Bumblebee," Optimus told Bumblebee before turning to Blue Jacket. "Good job following his lead, Blue Jacket."

The scouts nodded at their leader before the three autobots surrounded Skyquake, who got up and tried to punch Prime. Luckily, Prime dodged the attack and looked directly at the decepticon.

"Skyquake, stay down," Optimus said before punching him, causing some Damage to his face, as he fell to the ground, Optimus, Bumblebee and Blue Jacket surrounded him as Fowler flew above them and they noticed him.

"Is that Leo's dad?" Blue Jacket asked, noticing Fowler's jet.

"Fowler?" Optimus said as Skyquake leaned up and started to scan Fowler's VTOL jet. "Agent Fowler, Fall back!" Optimus said as he touched his comlink.

However, it was already too late as the decepticon successfully scanned the whole jet. He then stood up, pushed the 'bots out of the way, jumped into the air and transformed into one! The agent was surprised when the decepticon flew next to him.

"Air superiority achieved." Skyquake then flew right back into the canyon and started shooting at the Autobots. The autobots ran from the bullets from the machine gun and transformed into their alternate modes, Skyquake soon opened up a hatched where two missiles were as he tracked Bumblebee and Blue Jacket.

However, Fowler attacked him, giving the autobots some time to get away and think of a plan to stop Skyquake.


At Outer Space

Starscream flew through the wreckage of the destroyed Space Bridge. He transformed to robotic form and landed on one of the debris. He examined the area from the signal was found. "No one could have survived this. As I suspected, faulty sensors. The last thing I need now are rumors that Megatron is still..."

A loud, agonizing moan was heard from a distant. Starscream jumped over many debris to find where the moaning came from. "Megatron?"

Suddenly the body of Megatron jolted to life for a split second, "Die!" Megatron said, grabbing him by the arms, scaring Starscream in the process, before falling back and going unconscious.

"But how?"

Then the SIC saw Megatron's spark chamber turned apart with something purple glowing inside. "Dark energon..." He went face to face with Megatron, "Everyone believes you are deceased. Who am I to disappoint them... Master?

Starscream pulled out the shard from Megatron's spark chamber. He tried to reach for it, but his lights went out. "And this time stay dead!"

Suddenly, he heard Laserbeak's flying sound, he realizes that Soundwave has dispatched Laserbeak to watch him. He then hid the Dark Energon shard behind him. "Uh…" he turns around and sees Laserbeak approaching him, "Soundwave, if you are listening, I have found Lord Megatron, and he is… unwell. We must transport him to sickbay immediately."


Meanwhile...

"I got an idea, guys." Bee buzzed.

"What's the plan?" the blue bot asked.

Before the yellow scout could explain, Skyquake came back and started shooting at them again. Optimus then transformed after he got hit and saw the two scouts going towards a ramp that still lead to the canyon.

Bumblebee and Blue Jacket evaded Skyquake's bullets as he accelerated toward a natural formed ramp and transformed as they reached the top of a cliff, saw Skyquake approach the other side of the cliff. They then ran toward the other side of the cliff, jumped down and jumped onto Skyquake's wings, Bumblebee on the left and Blue Jacket on the right. The decepticon tries to knock the scouts off of him by rubbing them against a rock wall on each sides, but this was unsuccessful as Bumblebee and Blue Jacket stayed on top of him and flew upwards.

"Whoa!" Blue Jacket exclaimed, holding on with his brother for his life. He then contacts Optimus. "Optimus, we need backup!"

"Don't worry, Blue Jacket." Optimus said, contacting him through the com-link, "Agent Fowler is on his way now."

The green decepticon then tried to get the scouts off of him once more, finally getting Blue Jacket off of him. The blue scout was falling towards his death. "AHHHHH!" Luckily for him, Optimus Prime saved his life by transforming into his vehicle mode, boosting towards the dunes with the intention to use them like a ramp, transformed into his robot form, and caught him.

"Thanks, Optimus."

"You're welcome, Blue Jacket."

The scout began to punch him, grabbing the wires out of him on the right side of Skyquake's alternate mode and then did the same to the other side. Skyquake in his vehicle form began to lose altitude as he began to fall towards the canyon at a high speed. Bee then looked at Fowler and buzzed a "Thank You" to him.

"Anytime, fella. Ground floor's coming fast!"

A few seconds later, Bumblebee jumped from Skyquake onto Fowler's jet. Skyquake soon crashed into the canyon. Everyone saw this, as Fowler smirked, knowing that his job here was done, and the decepticon warrior was no more.

"Happy landings, 'con." Fowler said with a smirk.

The scout then jumped off of Fowler's jet and landed on the ground, running to his allies that were at the canyon.

"Sorry it turned up like this, Optimus..." Blue Jacket said sadly.

"I understand, Blue Jacket." Optimus stated before putting his battle mask off. "Had Skyquake chosen to stray from his master's path, we might not be burying him today."

The three bots started burying Skyquake with some rocks, while they were being unknowingly watched by Soundwave, who was on another cliff.


In the Autobot Base, Blue Jacket got out of the machine after it finished doing repairs on him. He then walked to Prime. "Thanks, Optimus and Ratchet." the scout said to them as they nodded to him. Bumblebee then walked inside the machine to get repaired.

"Blue Jacket" Optimus said, "You did well fighting against Skyquake and following Bumblebee's lead."

"Aww, just doing my best for the autobot cause." Blue said, "Sorry that Bee had to offline him, though."

"It's okay, Blue Jacket." Optimus said, forgiving him and knowing that they had no choice on that day. "We may be at war, but I don't condone of ending our enemies... Unless if we have no choice. I'm just glad that you and Bee weren't filled with anger and revenge."

Blue Jacket smiled, happy that Optimus understood what happen. He and Optimus then watched bumblebee's repairs getting fixed up by Ratchet.

"Bumblebee, putting yourself and your brother at risk was perhaps not the wisest of strategies, but both of you performed admirably," Optimus said.

"Thanks you, Optimus." Bee beeped in reply once he got out of the machine. Just then, they heard noises from the hallway that led to their base, and saw Bulkhead and Arcee, along with the four human children. The filed medic was really happy to see them.

"Aha-Ha-Ha! There you are," Ratchet said walking away from the repair bay towards the children as Raf, Leo, and Miko exited Bulkhead and Jack hopped off Arcee before the two autobots transformed and stood behind them. "Well? How were my, Uh, our projects received?"

"Well..." Raf started.

"We failed." Jacked stated.

"Big time." Miko added.

"Yep." Leo agreed.

"Well on our planet, you would have been awarded the highest honors," Ratchet stated.

"Really, dude?!" Leo asked. "Our projects was worse than Vince... And he didn't even do the project!" he stated.

"At least you got a D- on your project, Leo." Miko said. "The rest of us got F's." She then shows Optimus, Blue Jacket, Bumblebee, and Ratchet a picture of Leo's project: Three fully grown, but huge Energon-Crystals with each different color. The left crystal was pink., the middle one was yellow, and the right one was orange.

"Wow..." Blue Jacket was amazed. "One question, why did you get a D-?"

"Well, the teacher wanted it to be a normal size for people to hold with their hands. Also, when I said 'energon' as the name of these crystals, he laughed. Some of the kids laughed too, even Vince and Melissa." Leo answered.

The medic then walked away, still mad about how this turned out. Bee then beeped a few reply's.

"Indeed, Bumblebee. Our humans would have been wise to stray from Ratchet's path."

"I agree," Blue Jacket stated.

While the kids were talking to the 'bots, Ratchet was still being himself. However, he looked at a small teal energon cube, given by one of his best students. He smiled a bit, remembering her go-going and happy personality back when he was a science teacher before the war broke out. He knew that every bot in Team Prime missed Cybertron... But, like the rest, he had to adapt, before he turns to rust. He only hoped that once Cybertron somehow gets revived, he'll see his student again.


Meanwhile, inside the Nemesis's medical bay…

Starscream and Soundwave stood in the sickbay with Megatron hooked up to a life support system.

"Well, the troops will be pleased to hear of our success in rushing Megatron into stasis... Let us hope our master pulls through." Starscream said angrily watching Megatron connected to the support life machine by multiple cables.
