I'm sorry I couldn't update sooner. I had hard time this week. Maybe it takes me a lot of time to update next chapters. Sorry, but I really cannot do better for now.

Chapter eleven : the memories - step five

It was now nearly an hour that Ratchet was in his room . No one had bothered him. Until then .

"What are you looking for? " Arcee hesitantly asked , peering from behind the door .

" Mhmmm ... I'm trying to prove a theory " the doctor paused "A long time ago I came across a strange legend " he paused again looking from one pad to another. Arcee waited, motionless and silent .

" It was the same legend that you told Jack ... only that... it is not exactly a legend " concluded the doctor .

" What do you mea?" asked surprised and confused Arcee .

" What I mean is that, in my opinion, Jack ... " passed his gaze back on several pads before continuing " I was saying ... Jack came into contact with our Creator ... " .

"What the hell are you talking about Ratchet ?" the tone of Arcee's voice maybe was too high and too sarcastic , but the Autobot femme couldn't resist "Are you telling me that story for Sparkling is true? " Now she was annoyed, angry somehow.

"Yes!" Ratchet replied firmly as he continued to run the files on your datapad "Ah, here it is!" He finally said with glee in his voice.

The doctor motioned for her to come closer and Arcee didn't hesitate to obey. They read everything that the datapad contained. At the end the two Autobots came to believe that perhaps that the story wasn't a legend. Perhaps, in one way or another, Jack was really came into contact with Primus or the Allspark. And the irrefutable evidence were those weird brain waves.

"And now ... what are we going to do? "asked with fear Arcee.

Ratchet didn't answer immediately, he sought the best solution within the file "This datapad simply says that the process will stop without any kind of external action".

"How soon?" Arcee asked, this time much more hopeful.

Once again, the doctor took a few moments to quickly scroll through the file "Hmm ... it is not specified ... but ... interesting ... ".

"What?" Arcee was increasingly anxious.

"It says to have faith!" Concluded the doctor, resting the datapad on his legs and supporting the look of the femme.

"Have faith ..." repeated in a low voice Arcee "Nothing could be easier ...".

It was dark in the great room of the Hall of Records. There was no one inside. Reigned silence and tranquility.

Jack began to walk along the walls of the huge hall. Only then did he notice that the room was not as empty as he thought. Orion Pax (or rather, Optimus Prime) was looking out a huge window. Alone.

The young human hadn't noticed immediately the young Prime as he was placed in the darker area of the room. Only the light of the two huge moons in the sky lit up. The former data clerk was deep in thought. He did'ot notice that someone else was entering the room.

"To what do I owe the honor, my Prime?" The deep and old voice Alpha Trion broke the silence.

Optimus smiled as he turned to his mentor.

"Honor?" He said, raising an eyebrow, "I thought this was my home ... I was looking for a moment of peace and quiet after ... well ... I think you know ... " he said, approaching the old mech.

Even Alpha Trion was smiling. He put a hand on the shoulder of the young Prime "This is and will always be your home!" Then turned serious "And yes! I heard about everything that happened at the hearing with the High Council. "

"It didn't go very well ..." Optimus murmured, staring at the floor with air submissive.

"Rather, I think it went really well, my young student" replied enthusiastically the bearded mech.

Prime did not answer, but stared at his mentor quizzically.

"It is about to begin a new era for Cybertron and for all of us " the two began to walk toward the exit "An era marked by the change. And we couldn't have better guidance in this!" Concluded the old archivist, repeatedly beating the hand on the right shoulder of Optimus.

The young mech, for his part, remained silent for a few minutes before formulating a sentence "I don't think I'm worthy for all this, Alpha Trion" he paused and then added "I'm not the right mech... I'm not so strong and brave".

"Only time will tell it" concluded the chief archivist, continuing to walk next to his former student, while being enveloped by fog and their voices became more and more muffled.

Jack had listened fascinated at the dialogue between the two mech. Alpha Trion's words echoed in his head. And with a big smile full of pride, ready for the new stage of his journey.

Ratchet explained to June Darby his theory. The doctor had addressed to the woman, as the mother of Jack, but also the rest of the humans and the team were in the room while the old red and white mech gave his version of events. Also Megatronus was with them, although he maintained a distance and stood, alone, leaning against the wall.

"It 's amazing!" Agent Fowler let out as soon as the doctor had finished his explanations. June was silent, thinking.

The Autobots murmured and whispered between them. Then, a voice above all, sounded loud and clear "I think the good doctor is right" said Megatronus, while with a slow and quite pace approached to others in the room.

"And what do you know about all this?"said, with a little too much hatred, Smokescreen. Although Megatronus looked really changed, it was clear that the members of Team Prime hadn't yet full confidence in the intentions of the former Decepticocons leader.

Megatronus' chuckle filled the room again "I know many things, young friend" said the big gray mech as he placed a hand on Smokescreen's shoulder And I know that Ratchet is right!" then he took a few steps forward and found himself in the middle the group "And how do I know it? I have experienced it on myself ".

All those present, humans and Autobots, exchanged uncertain and confused looks.

"When I melted the Dark energon with my spark I made a journey, a journey in the memories of Unicron ..." he paused to see the reaction then continued "I think Jack is making a trip ... in the memories of Optimus ... ".

"But why? That is, I mean ... to what end? " asked confused Mrs. Darby.

"This only Primus knows it ..." muttered Megatronus.

The time began to rush . Blurry images and voices were accelerated and they made almost crazy Jack. The young human saw battles between robotic men in different delivery of Cybertron.

Fort Scyk. It was the first battle that Jack had memory. Then followed the battle of Hydrax Plateau, where Jack swore he saw him fight Ultra Magnus. He saw also the first battle faced by Optimus Prime. The young mech was visibly worried. And desperate when he took off someone else life for the first time.

The fall of Crystal City was memorable. Until that time, the Autobots, despite all the efforts and sacrifices, they were not able to stop the Decepticons.

Then came the first victory in the city of Kalis. It was after this battle that the time began to slow down again. Now Jack could clearly see what was going on. And he liked what he was seeing. Even if the bottom, he had never been a party animal, he was curious to see how people celebrated on Cybertron.

I know: this chap is short. I hope to do better next time! Please review! ;)
