That night...
That dream of horror, terror, murder and betrayal flashed through Optimus Prime's mind as he tried to sleep. He woke up in terror, as usual. It was the eleventh time this month, and he hated everytime it happened, since he truely cared for Bumblebee. He cared for all the Autobots (And their human friends, like Chip, Sparkplug, Spike and Carly.)
He sighed and stared at his hands. Then the words echoched through his head about conquering his fears and such. It seemed almost like nonsense in this situation. Spike would never understand..unless..he told Spike. Optimus Prime shivered at the thought thinking of Spike having a horrified face. Then another horrid though lurched into his mind, Sparkplug, Chip and Spike fearing him..even though he protected them many times before from the Decepticons. Then the thought of them leaving. That made him sting inside an he knew that wasn't because he had a loose circut.
"Is Spike right...about concering my fears?" Optimus Prime sighed as he stared at his hands. "He cant be..,but...maybe it would be better to get it over with..to face my fears." He was extermly reluctent, but picked up his gun. His hand was unsturdy as he held it. He walked quietly to Bumblebee's room.
Bumblebee was calmy sleeping, he obviously hadn't heard the door creak open. He must have been having a good dream not to notice. Optimus Prime raised the gun, but his arms shook. He didn't know what possed him to this..did Spike have a dark side he knew nothing about? He corrected his thoughts because, Spike knew nothing of this. What he was about to do must of jumbled his thoughts.
He aimed the gun at Bumblebee, when he suddenly woke up.
"Optimus again why-?" Bumblebee stareted annoyed, then stared in terror when he saw Optimus Prime holding the gun. He was frozen for a while before he screamed. All the Autobots, Sparkplug, Chip and Spike came in fast. They were in horror when they saw Optimus Prime's shaking arm pointing the gun at Bumblebee.
Optimus Prime sighed. "What am I doing!" He lowered his gun. He lifted it up and stared at his reflection. He didn't seem himself, no. Instead he saw,..a monster. One with dark red eyes and sharp teeth covered in dark,red,crimson blood. He looked scratched up with various peices missing and he had an Autobot logo, mostly scratched off. He looked closer and the monster was holding the mangled body of Bumblebee, who was much worse. Many parts missing from him, many scatches and limp. He had fuel dripping from him and it covered the monster's hands like if you used too much lotion.
"Trust me...become me.." The monster whispered in a meanicing tone. Optimus Prime was horrorstruck and dropped his gun.
"No..I-I'll never become you..never.." he studdered as he stared at the gun that lay infront of his feet. "I'll never become a monster.."
"Optimus?" Chip asked in horror. Then Optimus Prime turned toward him, it scared Chip, it was obvious because he quickly scooted his wheelchair back. Prime gave him a hurt look.
"Chip..I never wanted to be a monster.." He studdered.
"Then why are you doing this!" Spike yelled. It was possibly what Chip would say if he wasn't frigithend by his at one point friend. Spike took a step forward, but the Autobots formed a protective circle around him, incase their leader attacked Spike. Optimus Prime gave an even more hurt look.
"Spike..this..this was my fear.." Optimus Prime sighed.
"You..scared of Bumblebee? Me, Grimlock not. Me Grimlock would be better leader." Grimlock said. Optimus Prime sighed.
"Who let the Dinobots come with?" Optimus Prime thought.
"No, Grimlock..I've been having nightmares..nightmares where I...I..I kill Bumblebee. I just had another one for the eleventh time this month." Optimus Prime sighed. He looked at Bumblebee who was in geniune horror and confusion.
"That still dosen't explain why you tried to kill Bumblebee!" Sparkplug spat back. Optimus Prime stared at him. The Autobot's protective barrier formed around Sparkplug.
"Spike said I needed to concur my fears..of course he didn't know this was my fear. I tried to protest, but I couldn't. I know I should of ignored it. My logic circuts must be loose." Optimus Prime sighed, in geniune sadness and regret. Then he turned to Bumblebee.
"Will you forgive me? Please Bumblebee, I never wanted to harm you...at all." Optimus Prime studdered. Bumblebee was still in horror. He transformed into a car and drove out into the dark night.
"Autobots! Transform and roll out! We need to catch Bumblebee!" Optimus Prime said as he tranformed into a truck. Chip, Sparkplug and Spike got inside of him and the Autobots drove out into the desert. "How can everyone be one if things like this happen?"
