This chapter is written around the Transformers episode The Return of Optimus Prime, owned by Hasbro,from Alyx' point of view.

To Elita One: YEAH TAKE OUT THE DVD's!! TAKE OUT THE DVD's!!


"What a drag of a planet…" I thought out loud as I flew my cruiser down to the surface. It was rocky, dark, gloomy and there were places that looked like abandoned and ruined cities.

"Gee, sorry," Rumble snorted. "We WERE in control of Cybertron, till the Autobots ruined that for us."

"Well, why didn't you guys decorate it a bit more in Decepticon style?"

"Hey, we're not in charge here. Galvatron is. And he ain't planning to stay on this mud ball for very long." Frenzy stated.

"But we could restyle it more," Rumble started.

"Come on, it's been years now…" Blitzwing said somewhat disappointed. "We're never getting out of there."

"Hey, if Galvatron says we'll conquer Cybertron again, we WILL conquer Cybertron!" Ravage defended his leader's choices. "Go sob in your own misery!"

"HEY!!" Blitzwing let out insulted.

"GUYS!!" I yelled at them. "QUIET!" As I did they felt their circuits tingle and shut up immediately before I fried any of them. "Thanks."

"You can let us out there," Rumble said as he pointed at a structure that passed as their base. "Just fly over and we'll jump out."

I opened the doors in the side of the cruiser and reduced the speed. Blitzwing got out first cause he was blocking the way out and transformed to his MIG 25 form. "Thanks for the trip!" He said before he jumped.

"Now we owe you two," Rumble said with a grin. He held out his hand in a greeting manner and jumped out after Blitzwing, followed by his three cassette comrades.

Our arrival had attracted the attention of the Decepticons and they came out of their base like an angry swarm of bees from their hive.

"Oh, NO!!" I saw they were infected as well! And so did my Decepticon friends. Quickly I overtook them with my cruiser and let them get in again.

As soon as the doors had closed behind them I took off into space, leaving the infected Decepticons behind us.

We set course to Cybertron.

"So," I started out of curiosity and to make conversation while traveling. "Are you really love-sick, Blitz?"

Blitzwing looked up. "Who said that?!" he said annoyed but he knew the answer to that question.

The cassettes innocently looked the other way. If they could have whistled, they would have.

"I AM NOT!"

"You are too!" Ravage growled at him. "Everybody can see that right away! Don't deny it!"

He gave me a questioning look. "Can you really see it?"

I nodded. "I can even sense it… SO what's bugging you?"

"Oh… it's nothing…"

"What do you mean, it's NOTHING!" Rumble let out and turned to me. "He's got a crush on the female Autobot!"

Within a second Blitzwing had his hand around Rumble – all of him - and started squeezing him as he gave him a very, VERY agitated look.

"Well it's true…" Rumble moaned under the force Blitzwing's hand put on his body. "LET GO!"

"No fighting in here!" I ordered them and this time they stopped right away.

Blitzwing let him go and crossed his arms annoyed across his chest.

"Do you really have a crush on her?" I asked him curiously. "That's so cute…"

Now he gave me an annoyed look as Rumble, Frenzy and Ravage burst into laughter. Laserbeak screeched a few times.

"Decepticons are NOT CUTE!!" he objected.

"Sweet?" I tried.

An even more annoyed look came my way.

I left it at that. "Is that why you didn't want asylum with the Autobots?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "Not just because of that… I AM a Decepticon!"

"You don't need that female around," Ravage snorted. "They're nothing but trouble."

"And they are weak," Rumble added to that.

"How would you guys know anything about females?" I asked dryly.

"Hey, we've been around a long time, sister," Ravage said. "We've seen it all and even some lived it all. Why do you think we don't have any female Decepticons in our ranks!?"

They all looked at me, expecting an answer. "Would you like to fly the rest of the way on your own? Decepticons can fly, right?"

Quickly they kept quiet and shook their heads mumbling: "Females…"

"The Autobot female is not weak at all," Blitzwing told me and I saw his eyes lit up like a candle as he thought of her. "She's most agile, an excellent warrior…" He smiled. "Cunning too. And sooo beautiful…"

I thought that was sooo sweet, coming from a Decepticon as powerful as him. The others thought he was a lunatic.

"Than why don't you get that place among the Autobots? That way you can be around her more and she could get to know you better."

"She's involved with Springer," he grumbled. "Could get rid of him, I'm a triple changer as well, he doesn't have any advantages on me!"

"Oh yeah!" I shook my head. "If you kill him she'll hate your every circuit for it and you will know the fury of a woman! Trust me on that one." I warned him.

He gazed at me for a sec. "You think?"

I nodded.

"And if I beat him in a fight over her?"

I let out a sigh. "She's the kind of girl who likes to decide for herself who she's with."

"Say, are we there yet?" He asked me to change the subject.

I grinned. "You could always play the hurt soul… go for her heart."

"Transformers don't have hearts!" Rumble intervened again.

Be both threw him an agitated look.

"What?! We DON'T!"

"Never mind him. And yeah, we're there," I turned my pilot's seat back.

As soon as we got closer to the planet's surface we found the Autobots were infected as well.

"Looks like a universal thing…" Frenzy concluded.

"I sure hope there's still someone or something left to stop this virus or what ever it is," I said somewhat worried.

At topspeed I flew my cruiser to Earth and tried to contact Autobot-City. When nobody replied I tried Rodimus' comlink.

"Rodimus… are you still there? Answer me, please!" I tried.

First I heard nothing but static noise, but then: "Hey babe! I'm here!"

"He sure sounds jolly," Rumble commented.

I was just so glad to hear his voice. "Is Earth also infected with this strange red-glowing virus?"

"Don't worry 'bout it, we've got it all under control," he said cheerfully. "Think you can find me?"

"No problem!" I took the cruiser down to the surface.

Looking at my Decepticon friends I said. "He kinda sounds like Hot Rod, don't you guys think?" I gave them a wondering look.

"Ah, don't tell us he's lost that darn Matrix AGAIN now!" Rumble let out and burst out into laughter, followed by the others.

With a sigh I decided to ignore that. "Well, besides that he sounds pretty normal, not mad or hateful."

I landed the cruiser outside of something that looked like a car factory. Lot's of new cars were parked on a huge parking lot. Quickly I got out of the cruiser and took my larger organic metal form. The cassettes and Blitzwing came out as well as I was looking for Rodimus.

"Come out Rodimus, it's me!" I called out to him.

"I'm right here, babe!" I heard his voice behind me and felt his arm swing around my shoulders as he came up next to me. I saw the look on the faces of the cassettes and Blitzwing and that told me I was in trouble…


OH NO!!!! Is Alyx infected as well??

Next chapter: The return of Optimus Prime 3

Don't worry, we'll get to him. He's there already actually, we just haven't met him yet. He's working on a cure! But will he find it before Alyx gets to him?? Being all hateful and full of rage??
