chapter 1
Optimus and Elita were heading into the prison. "Optimus I know this is a new type of sentence I am not sure he is the type of bot to agree to it, after all you know how he is," Elita said. "I know the other Decepticons rejected the offer, I doubt he will be the first to accept the offer my love,' she said.
"I know Elita, after all he deserves to know he can get another chance," Optimus said. "And we never know he maybe the first one to accept the offer, after all it is very important after all," he said.
"I know Optimus, it's just hard because many of the Decepticons when they were offered it they refused it and well I am worried this idea for coming up with this for sentence may soon won't be considered anymore," Elita said.
"I have the same concerns Elita, I just hope Starscream will be the first to agree to this," Optimus said.
"I sure hope hope so too," Elita said.
"Is this why you asked me to come to help out because I have known him longer?" Skyfire asked.
"Yes Skyfire I think it can help," Optimus said.
"I sure hope I can help," Skyfire said. "I think I can figure out something or some how to help out." he said.
"I know you will," Optimus said.
The guards saw them and let them in. "Optimus Prime and Elita here to try again to offer that as another cons sentence?" the head of the prison asked.
"Yes Padlock," Optimus said.
"I doubt the con you are going to ask will accept after all these cons are so stuck in their ways you should let them be killed off," Padlock said.
"Padlock the war has been over since Megatron perished, so I think the Decepticons deserve a chance to begin life from a new start," Optimus said.
"Fine but I still say you both are wasting your time," Padlock said. He saw Skyfire with them and figured the larger flier was just going to be helping them and thought nothing of it.
Optimus and Elita headed towards the cell. "Humph if I said this once I will say again he is charming," Elita said with sarcasm.
"Sarcastic much?" Optimus asked.
"You can say that, but he needs work on his attitude," Elita said.
"I agree with you on that," Optimus said.
"I'll say, he is a bit much," Skyfire said.
They made it to the cell. "Optimus Prime and Elita if you are going in remain at ten pace distance from the prisoner," the guards at the door said.
"Skyfire is with us," Optimus said.
"Understood the same rules apply to you understand?" the guard asked.
"Yes," Skyfire said.
Then they went inside and saw Starscream in cuffs on his wrists and on his wings. "What do you two want?" Starscream asked them when he saw them come in. He saw Skyfire come in. "Hello Skyfire," he greeted.
"We want to talk to you about something," Optimus said.
"About what?" Starscream said.
"Well we have different type of sentence you can choose other than staying here for the rest of your life," Elita said.
"What is the sentence might ask?" Starscream said.
"Rebirth through Vector sigma, we have asked many former cons and so far none have accepted," Optimus said.
"Ha! That figures many cons would rather rot in here that be reborn as some nobody," Starscream snarked.
"Well what do you think of this offer though?" Elita asked.
"I don't know what to think of it to be honest," Starscream said sounding thoughtful. "I spent most of my life feeling unwanted or unneeded, or even useless or even I shouldn't be alive anymore at times, right now I am feeling at all time low," he explained. "I am not sure whether or not accept, on one hand I will rotten in here for the rest of my life, or on the other hand I have the choice to start over and maybe make something of myself this time," he said.
"I can understand it maybe a tough choice but remember it's your choice to make alright Starscream," Optimus said.
"Starscream we have worked hard to make this available choice but are worried this type choice won't be available anymore if no one accepts the choice," Elita said.
"Starscream my friend I know after all of this we have been through I still think of you as a friend, but if I make the same decision to go through rebirth through Vector sigma will you do it and hopefully our paths will cross again and maybe we can be friends again, if possible," Skyfire said.
Starscream sat there for sometime thinking he sat there for about half and hour and took a deep breath and let it. He looked up at them. "I made my decision," Starscream said.
"Okay what is your decision?" Optimus said.
"Let's just say it pleases me to be the first to accept the choice," Starscream said. "Skyfire I am glad you are doing this with me, I hope our paths will cross again and hopefully we will be friends again after our rebirth if Primus is willing," he said.
"So you accept rebirth?" Elita asked.
"Yes," Starscream said.
"Very well, we wish you lucky to whatever brand new life through rebirth, Vector sigma gives you Starscream," Optimus said.
"Starscream would you like to remanence a bit before I go?" Skyfire asked.
"Of course old friend." Starscream said.
"Farewell," Optimus said,
Starscream nodded and the couple left after that.
They felt so much better now the Starscream was the first to accept this. They started to leave the prison. "So who did you ask today might ask? I forgot to ask when you came in," Padlock said.
"Starscream," Optimus said.
"Well what did that blasted seeker say?" Padlock asked.
"He was the first to accept," Elita told him. "and we are so relieved," she said.
Padlock was stunned. "Now we must go tell the council and be on our way," Optimus said.
Then Optimus and Elita left the prison on much higher note than when they came in.
