Hello once again everyone! It has been a long while since my last update of... anything... For that I am truly sorry. But things have been crazy for me. Good news though, I have finally departed from the Military so I should have plenty of time to update more! So anyway here is the new chapter I hope you like it. I'm not sure how I feel about the chapter itself. I don't know. I may scrap it later and re do it.
The darkness was all he could see, on occasion more of the blurred images of the outside world would dance across his mind but for the most part he tried to ignore them. Sam didn't want the guilt of knowing that people where suffering while he was trapped weighing him down more than he already was. with every passing moment he could feel a pressure building in his mind, and the more it grew the less human he felt. True he hadn't felt much like a human since the AllSpark started to change his body, but what he was experiencing now felt... different. While he felt more alien the more his body changed he had always still felt human because he was able to look back on his memories and remember who he had been. Now, however, he was having a hard time of remembering most of anything from his life. All his mind was filled with was pain and agony.
His body gave a violent jerk as another fresh wave of pain exploded through him. He could feel the energy being drained from his body and as the power left the pressure in his mind grew another ten fold. He wanted to yell, to scream as loud and hard as he could until someone came and saved him... but no one did. The pain continued and he was alone. Through the blackness and the pain a light came, it looked almost the same as it did every other time before except the images that came with it where clearer. Through the haze of agony he could make out things and people more distinctly.
He wanted to shut out the images, he didn't want the emotional pain that came with them. This time however, he wasn't able to block them out. Simply because the image in front of him was of the one person that he could still remember caring about.
"Optimus..." He whispered in his mind.
He felt the pressure build.
"Optimus..." He watched as the Prime was forced to his knees with his arms held behind him by two Decepticons.
The pressure grew more intense.
"Optimus..." He saw a large jagged blade raise up in front of the Prime's helm. It scratched along his face plates leaving a large gash of bent and twisted metal.
He could feel something in his mind start to give way.
"Optimus..." The blade lifted up out of sight for a moment. Everything stopped for a spark pulse... Then the blade came crashing down. It moved like lightning and struck like thunder, right through Optimus's chest plates. Sam saw the light flicker in the Prime's optics. His battle mask moved as if he was trying to speak but if anything came out Sam didn't hear it.
The light faded from Optimus's optics and his body went limp. Sam watched as Megatron's stabilizing servo came into view and pressed against the Prime's helm. With a forceful kick he knocked Optimus off his blade and Sam felt his laughter as the body hit the ground lifeless and empty.
"OPTIMUS!" He yelled as whatever had been building in his mind finally snapped.
He felt power surge through his body and every wire and gear he had tightened trying to hold that power in. His mind faded to nothing as he let the power wash over him.
The battle was lost nearly as soon as it had begun. Optimus knew this but he couldn't let this fact dictate his actions. He needed to stay strong for his 'bots. He contemplated giving the order to run but he knew that it wouldn't matter, with Megatron's new power there would be no place for the Autobot's to run. So stealing his mind Optimus kept fighting, kept moving forward, he would continue to fight until his final moment. It wasn't long though until it seemed like his final moment was upon him. Two Decepticons managed to disarm him and forced his servos behind his back.
The two forced his servos until he could hear the gears grinding and the energon lines rip open. He quickly shut off the pain receptors that where in his servos before the pain registered in his processor. Forcing his helm to move he quickly looked around the area to see what was happening to the rest of his Autobots and the human soldiers.
To his horror he saw each Autobot being held in the same manner as he was. The humans where forced at cannon point to kneel with there hands on top of there heads. Optimus could see the look of anger and defiance in each soldier; Human and Autobot alike.
::No matter what remain strong:: Optimus sent the comm to each Autobot and to the ear pieces that Will and his team had.
Looking up Optimus watched as his fallen brother slowly moved in his direction. His optics burning bright with power. The Prime noticed how they kept flickering from there normal bright red to a blazing white.
"Well, well..." Megatron gloated. "The mighty Prime kneeling before me. How I knew this day would come!"
Optimus remind silent his optics hard.
"What? No final words of defiance? No grand speech about never giving up?" Megatron chuckled as he transformed his right servo into a long jagged blade.
"Very well..." He said as he lowered the blade slowly down the Primes facial plates. The screeching of metal ripping filled the air and all the captured worriers flinched at the sound and at the pain they knew the Prime was going through.
Raising the blade up and behind him, Megatron gave his former brother a final sneer before he plunged the blade through the Prime's spark chamber. Thanks to the AllSpark burning in his chest, Megatron could feel every pulse leaving the Prime's body as the spark grew weaker and weaker. He left the blade in the Prime's chest until at last he felt the spark shatter completely.
"S...Sa...m..." Optimus gasped before the light faded from his optics and his body slumped as the life left his form.
Laughing loudly Megatron brought up his stabilizing servo and pressed the bottom of it to the Prime's helm and used it to push the Prime off his blade. Megatron continued to laugh even after the final gear stopped turning in the Prime's body. So lost in his victory the war lord didn't notice how none of his Decepticon's where celebrating with him. He continued to not notice until a cold chill ran through his spark. Looking at the others gathered he did notice that each Cybertronian looked as if the same thing had happened to them. Even the humans shifted and where looking around nervous.
"What is this?" Megatron asked out loud as he looked down at the Prime's body.
Before he could do anything Megatron collapsed onto his knees as a great pain over came his body. His optics began to dim and his vision faded slightly. A warning popped up in his telling him that his power was dangerously low.
"What trickery is this!?" He gasped.
Everyone gathered watched in shock and aw as the giant Decepticon leader began to scream in pain and started to claw at his chest plates. No one could move transfixed at the events going on in front of them. It wasn't until a shock wave pulsed from where Megatron was that they began to move.
Lowering there weapons the Decepticon's slowly backed away from there leader. Likewise both the Human's and Autobots rose from there knees and started to back away also.
"Ratchet, what is going on?" Ironhide asked the medic.
"I.. I'm not sure..." Ratchet said. "His energon levels are in flux and won't stabilize."
"'Dat's good ain't it?" Skidz asked.
"No its extremely bad!" Ratchet snapped. "Unstable energon explodes with the force of a nuclear bomb!"
"Wait that doesn't make seance." Will said. "We've killed dozens of Decepticon's since this whole thing started. Why haven't there been any explosions from that?"
"Because human..." Starscream chimed in from a few yards away. "Even when a Cybertronian dies our energon will remain stable for one Earth year before it gets to the detonation point."
"So then why is his so unstable?" Epp's asked not even fazed by the fact that Starscream offered up information to them.
"Something is causing Megatron's energon to become unstable..." Ratchet said as he ran a few scans. "...and whatever is doing that is also causing a massive amount of energy to collect right next to his spark chamber!"
A high pitched wine began to emit from Megatron who had continued to scream through the others exchange. His yells reached such a pitch that all the glass objects within a 100 mile radius shattered to dust. The Bot's instantly turned off there audio receptors and the humans did what they could to cover there ears.
At the height of Megatron's fit he suddenly stopped and collapsed and didn't move. One by one everyone gathered began to recover.
"What..." Will started to ask but was interrupted as a massive wind started to blow.
Dust and dirt flew in a massive cloud around them all and the Autobot's quickly rushed to cover the humans so they didn't get ripped apart by the storm. Everyone watched as the storm picked up.
"It's condensing!" Ironhide yelled.
They watched as sure enough the wind and dirt was forcing itself into a single point. From the sky a massive bolt of lightning struck the center of the storm causing the area around it to explode outward.
It took several minutes for the dust to clear but when it did the dark clouds that had been hanging over head since the battle began where gone. The sun shown brightly and the wind was calm and quiet. As one everyone turned to look at where the lightning had struck. From the smoke still rising from the hole a figure began to step forward.
"That's... that's impossible..." Epp's said as they got there first look at the being.
It looked like a human sized mech, but unlike the others this one was not made of metal. Where the metal should be was nothing but condensed plates of what looked like pure light. They could all see the things bright optics looking over each of them before settling on the empty shell of the Prime.
A slight wave of power pulsed from the mech and forced everyone to there knees. Even when they tried to rise they found that they couldn't. They all watched in shocked silence as the being made its way closer to the fallen Prime. Before lone it had made it's way to where the Prime's helm rested. It placed its servo onto Optimus's helm and shuttered its optics. Everyone gasped in shock and aw as the ripped metal on the Prime's body began to mend itself back together. Every scratch and every fleck of paint was restored to the fallen Prime. But it didn't end there.
With another pulse from the mech it stepped back and waited. Within the minute everyone could hear the unmistakable sound of Optimus's gears starting to turn again as life was restored to Optimus Prime.
So... There it is. Not much else to say. I hope you enjoyed it. Drop me a line and let me know what you think. Again, I may re-write it.
Also on a side note I have been giving some thought to doing some original writing projects for you guys to hold you all over between these chapters. If you want a story written for you just shoot me a PM with what you want the story to be about. A small plot summery, and a few characters you will want in it. This is all free of course but donations are always welcome lol just kidding.
