chapter 9 sick mind
Ratchet was at the computer. "Optimus I found the Decepticon war ship." Ratchet said.
"How did you break their shield?" Optimus asked.
"I didn't was testing wavelengths and I picked it up they must be having a breech." Ratchet said.
"With Megatron gone we can infiltrate." Arcee said.
"And do some serious damage." Bulkhead said.
"All so on the same wavelength an Autobot ship distress beacon." Ratchet said.
"The Decepticons can wait." Optimus said. "Ratchet bring your medical kit there may be Autobots in distress." Optimus said.
They headed out. The ship has been there for centuries. "if any had been traveling in stasis there might be survivors." Ratchet said.
What they saw was awful the Autobots were offline and there was spilled energon. Optimus shook his head.
"Optimus these Autobots are not showing signs of death from the crash they show the effects of a virus." Ratchet said. Optimus moved forward. "Don't touch anything the virus might still be active." Ratchet said.
The ship began to rock and a dead bot's energon got Optimus in the optic. "No!" Ratchet said.
At the base. "Cybonic plague." Ratchet said.
"How did this end up on ship?" Jack asked.
"It was a plague ship it wiped out thousands during the war." Arcee said.
"Like the black plague did to us humans." Hannah said.
"It was part of Decepticon biological war fare made by Megatron." Ratchet said.
"Is there a cure?" Raf asked.
"No cure." Optimus said.
"Optimus save your strength." Ratchet said.
"I mean there has to be a cure what if Megatron caught it by accident?" Jack asked.
"Like we can ask him he's pushing up lug-nuts." Bulkhead said.
"The computer on the nemesis might have we still have lock on it." Ratchet said.
"I'll go," Arcee said.
"I'll go too." Bumblebee said.
Ratchet bridged them there and they went to the computer.
Starscream was talking to Knockout. Knockout claimed that Megatron might stay in this comatose state. "It might be best to end it for him mercifully." Knockout said.
Starscream claimed he would be leader and Knockout would be his second in command.
Arcee looked through the computer. "It's not here." Arcee said.
"Look again." Ratchet said.
"I scanned the whole database." Arcee said. Bumblebee motioned for Arcee to come. Arcee gasped.
"What is it?" Ratchet asked.
"Megatron." Arcee said.
"How?" Ratchet asked.
"How? I'm staring at him. Good thing is he's not staring back." Arcee said. "Time to finish it." she said.
"Wait!" Ratchet said.
"One good reason." Arcee said.
"He may Optimus only hope." Ratchet said.
"How are we going to get the cure?" Arcee asked.
"There should be things you need to do a cortical psychic patch." Ratchet said.
"No way maybe we can bring him through and take time to figure it out." Arcee said.
"Time is one thing Optimus does not have." Ratchet said.
"I'll do it." Bumblebee said.
"Are you sure?" Raf asked.
"Bee is the best scout there is." Bulkhead said.
Bee went through and found Megatron and began to talk to him. Megatron showed the cure. Ratchet copied it.
Arcee disconnected Bumblebee. Bumblebee woke up and went through the bridge.
Optimus got up cured from the illness. Everyone was clapping. "I do not deserve the heroes welcome that right belongs to Ratchet and Bumblebee." Optimus said.
Everyone began to clap for Bumblebee.
Knockout told Starscream the Megatron's mind was gone.
Bumblebee saw a vision of Megatron.
