Sorry for not updating this fast enough, but I've been really busy with spending time with my family. I hope you guys like this next chapter, but just telling you guys ahead of time, I really don't know when I'll be updating this next time. It might be a couple of days or even weeks at the most. I'd also advise you guys to read a new fanfiction I've started call Mother Nature's Daughter.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything about Transformers Prime, except for my story, my Oc's just not Astoria. Please enjoy!
"Ratchet to Optimus Prime,"
"Ratchet to Optimus. What is your status?" Optimus spoke through his comm. link on as I gave Meteor the biggest hug I've ever given anyone.
"There's another protoform landing in Phoenix, Arizona. The next Ground Bridge will drop you off there. Ratchet out." Another huge bright green portal opened up and we all rushed through it. As soon as everyone walked out of the portal to see a huge pod flying right at me, but I was frozen in my spot, terrified for the first time in my life. I looked around me and everyone else had run for cover, except for me. So this is how it ends huh? Getting pan caked by the older brother you're supposed to bring back to life. Not how I expected to go offline.
"Phoenix!" Optimus shouted and I was immediately tackled to the ground out of the way just before the pod had the chance to flatten me.
I lay there on the ground breathing heavily and everything around me felt distant or muted. Optimus was shaking my shoulders as I just stared up at the dusty orange sky without speaking and then all of my senses came crashing down on me. I bolted upright and banged my helm into Optimus's helm, but I scrambled up to my feet and grabbed Optimus's hand as I dragged him over to where the others were fighting Decepticon drones. I turned around to face Optimus's slightly blushing faceplates, but I could care less at the moment. I have a mission to finish and I'm prepared to go through with it until the end.
"I need a lift," I motioned for him to clasp his hands together to launch me up into the air. He nodded and he clasped his hands together, I placed both hands of his shoulders and his faceplates became as red as a ripe cherry, I rolled my eyes at this and he launched me up into the air. I soared through the sky without even needing to open my wings and I turned my body around as I plummeted towards the ground. BOOM! A sonic boom resonated throughout the whole area and everyone collapsed to the ground, except for my teammates. Slowly, I stood up onto my feet and my whole frame was enveloped with flames of fire as I left out deafening screech of the cyber Phoenix. With the Decepticons momentarily distracted, the Autobots slashed and destroyed the Decepticon drones without them even getting the chance to retaliate. I beckoned Optimus to follow me over to where the next pod lay in a deep crater; I wrapped my arms around Optimus's waist much to his surprise and flew down into the crater.
"Um, thanks," Optimus finished shyly and I only nodded my head in his direction. Excitedly, I dashed over to where one of my older brothers lay and that's when I realized that this pod was two times larger than the other two, but it makes sense considering Astro and Blazer were twins. It makes even more sense (and easier for me, sort of) to bring both of them back to life.
Gently, I placed both my hands on the silver pod and a huge light blue glow enveloped my entire being as my optics slowly closed. When I opened them again, I was standing all alone with only the pod as company for me in the middle of the Sea of Rust on Cybertron. Concentrating furiously, a blue glow erupted out of my chest plates as the All Spark's power emanated out from my chest into the pod. Suddenly, the ground began to shake and I sensed movement coming from outside of my vision and the pod, so I concentrated harder.
"Come on! You can do it! Wake. UP!" I screamed with all of my might and the sound of gears moving into place. Everything became a blur of colors and objects as I on lined my optics to see Optimus and Megatron engaging in a heavy battle with swords. Two mechs about the size of Bulkhead, but less bulkier; one was dark green with turquoise blue accents and the other was turquoise blue with dark green accents and both had baby blue optics with a hint of amber in them.
"Hey, baby sis," Blazer exclaimed cheerfully with a lopsided grin on his face.
"How've you been?" Astro asked joyfully, but the clashing of weapons interrupted us. We watched in slow motion as Megatron stabbed Optimus right in the side of his ribs and his optics widened in absolute pain as he struggled to not cry out. My optics lighted with blue fire and I screamed in pure rage and hatred as I pulled out my fire sword, but this time it grew three sizes bigger than the last time I used it. Megatron whirled around just in time to earn slice to his arm with his sword, which sent it flying to the ground with energon splattering everywhere and he howled in agony. Without warning, Megatron sliced my face with his deadly claws and I stumbled back with a dark grin on my face. I chuckled darkly as I wiped the energon off my face and in the distance, I heard my brothers calling out to me, but this time I ignored them completely. I summoned up the last of my strength, trusting that my brothers caught me, an enormous deadly dark blue blast of energy at him, which sent him into a stunned and completely unconscious state. As soon as he went into that state, I collapsed un exhaustion. Just as I was about to go unconscious, I fell into the arms of Optimus Prime who held a worried and hard look on his face, but I knew what would happen after we returned to base. A long lecture, but by that time I had already been swept into deep unconsciousness.
Okay so there you have it, folks. I'm really sorry about not knowing when I'll be updating this, but things are just difficult at the moment. Sorry, if you guys were expecting a brother/sister moment, but I thought there needed to be some more action in this story. Please stay tuned for the next chapter, but keep in mind I might not be updating this for a couple of days.
