After the Decepticons had left, the recruit made his was to Optimus Prime, and had drawn out a short-sword from his wing panels on the sides of his legs! The Autobots rushed into action to aid their leader, but once getting close enough, the found out that it wasn't necessary. The newcomer had let Optimus use the sword as a cane to help him up, and the arrival was aiding him. Once Optimus had gotten to his feet, the newcomer faced the other Autobot warriors and spoke.
"Where is the medic for this mission?" He asked with no emotion noticed. Innocent Sideswipe jumped a bit at the impassive tone the former Decepticon had given, and the rest grimaced.
Jetfire defiantly stepped forward and replied to the arrival. "Red Alert, our medic, is at our base. I can answer any other questions you have on our way there."
"We may want to go NOW then, huh?" The newcomer snapped at the second in command. Jetfire's optics widened to defiant levels. IS THIS GUY FOR REAL! he thought. Doesn't he know who I am!
"I'm sorry," Jetfire cringed, "But maybe you don't know who I am, I'm - "
"Currently being the least bit useful by not helping me rush Optimus TO THE MEDIC." The newcomer snapped viciously. When his temper rose, the other Autobots could tell: he still had a Decepticon's attitude.
Optimus was taken to the base and into repairs with Red Alert taking care of his recovery. The arrival was left in the main observation room for safe-keeping, and was being closely watched on the monitors by the other Autobots in another room nearby. The blue seeker was looking around the vast space with what appeared to be slight astonishment. So this is how the inside of an Autobot base looks . . . he thought. Primus, it makes the Decon one look like scrap! The machinery is so up-to-date . . . He sat down and leaned his back against a wall. I've never felt so tired; maybe it's because of the quietness, that sweet, sweet quietness . . . he thought as he drifted into a light sleep mode.
The children entered the room where the Autobots were intently watching a screen. "Who is that guy! He was amazing! Did you see how he completely wailed on Megatron!" Carlos asked in hyper astonishment. Billy and Fred had joined in with Carlos on complementing the new Transformer on his battle with the Decepticon leader, when their own human leader interrupted.
"Guys, will you can it?" Rad asked. "We don't even know if we can trust this guy yet. He could be just like Sideways."
"If he was, then why'd he fight his former leader so viciously?" Scavenger asked himself aloud.
"That's a good question" replied his former student. They all watched the monitor in silence, until Rad noticed that someone was missing.
"Where's Alexis?" he asked. Everyone's eyes/optics widened as their question was answered by Alexis walking into view on the monitor, just a few feet away from the new dormant Transformer!
