A/N: This is the my version of the end of the final episode of season three I think. Warnings in the first chapter.

"Come on Heatwave," Kade pleaded. "You can't just leave like that."

Heatwave had powered all of the batteries to the force field. He ran off leaving the others confused. Kade ordered everyone to split up and search everywhere for Heatwave. They searched everywhere. Kade was the one that found him in laying down in a patch of flowers. Tubes connected everywhere on him. They had made it back to where they belonged. Kade pulled off every tube and waited for Heatwave to respond.

"Answer me buddy," Kade begged. "Come on you can wake up. Please wake up. Nothing is better without you here."

"Kade, he sacrificed himself to save Griffin Rock," said Optimus as he walked up. He knelt next to Heatwave and sighed. "Oh Heatwave, my son, you are just like your mother. Let's get you home and fixed."

"Son?" asked Kade. "You're Heatwave's father? Does he know? Why didn't you say anything?"

"I will tell you after we get him back to the firehouse," said Optimus and walked away.

"He won't survive the night," said Ratchet.

"Thank you Ratchet," said Optimus.

"Prime, I'm so sorry. I know you have barely known him," said Ratchet. "You can go see him now. Kade is already there."

Optimus walked into the room. He passed the other humans and Rescue Bots. Kade laid next to Heatwave, who was awake.

"Hey Optimus," said Heatwave.

"Kade, I told you that I would tell you. Everyone is here so they shall know too," said Optimus.

"What are you talking about?" asked Heatwave. Optimus sighed and sat down.

"Elita-One was my mate. Together we had a son. We named him Heatwave, but couldn't keep him for if Megatron found out, he would be killed. I took Heatwave to High Tide to take him to Rescue Bots academy. We were attacked shortly afterward. Elita was killed and I was gravely injured. I made sure that High Tide gave you a box that was from the two of us. I have never seen my son since then. I have been updated on a soldier who has been nicknamed Heatflame. I knew that that it was my son. High Tide had told the leader of the academy that that was your name," said Optimus. "After years he was told his real name was Heatwave. He became a leader of a small group. Three soldiers followed him. Boulder, Chase, and Blades. They landed on Earth after I gave the order to keep him safe. I have seen my son when he came with his team. I sent them to Griffin Rock. Now my son acts like his mother and saves the island and everyone on it."

"Sir, we didn't know that Heatwave was your son," said Chase.

"How come I was never told? You were my father and I was never told. All I was told was that both my parents died protecting me," said Heatwave, kinda angry.

"That is what I left out. After the attack, I was transported to the hospital. Ratchet tried his best but my spark went out," said Optimus.

"Ah, you're a ghost," Blades exclaimed.

"No, I was brought back to life. I do not know how or why," said Optimus. Blades relaxed and sighed.
"Heatwave, this was to protect you from Megatron killing you. I have wanted to tell you ever since I found you again. I couldn't in fear that Megatron will hunt and kill you. The Decepticons are on Earth and Megatron will not hesitate to kill you and anyone."

"I understand," said Heatwave.

"I'm disappointed in you brother. You never told me you had a family," Megatron snarled from the doorway.

"What are you doing here?" Optimus asked, battle mask sliding in place.

"I heard about a floating island and came to investigate. Found you carrying one of your soldiers and followed you here," said Megatron. "Oh, and don't worry about the medic. Let's just say that he is unable to help right now."

"Leave this place at once," Optimus said.

"I think not dear brother. I only wish to put my dear nephew out of his misery. Seeing that he is already dying, why not finish it?" Megatron mused.

Optimus charged forward with his blade out. Megatron merely dodged and elbowed Optimus to the ground. The other Rescue Bots got the humans out of there, and Ratchet. Optimus groaned when he was beat and hit by Megatron. Optimus laid there in pain and saw Megatron stalk toward his son. Heatwave tried to move away but couldn't. He was still too weak from losing so much Energon.

"Saw hello to your mother for me Heatwave," said Megatron and forced Heatwave's chest open. He took out a knife and extinguished Heatwave's spark swiftly.

Optimus roared in anger and charged at Megatron, beating him senselessly. Megatron stabbed Optimus in the chest and left. Optimus pulled the knife out and the others came in. Optimus fell near Heatwave, crying a bit.

"My son, I am so sorry. I couldn't protect you," Optimus whispered.

Optimus went into a pit of darkness. He woke up to find a light in front of him. Elita and Heatwave stood there, waiting for him. Optimus walked into the light, knowing that he had died in the real world. He was reunited with his mate and son forever now.
