Transformers Galaxy Force: Thunder Storm

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers.

Author's Note: I know it's a short chapter, but I really couldn't make it any longer without boring people.

I'm rather releived that people like this story, and I'd like to say thanks to those who have reviewed. I was somewhat scared that I'd get a lot of nasty PM's or Reviews about the relationship between Coby and Lori.

I have yet another question to pose for my readers: What do you want Coby and Lori to do, like on a date or something? I'll even take dirty ideas, but I am not promising that I will write them into my story.

Send me a Review or a PM if you get any ideas for this question, or any previous questions. Thanks again for reading.

Part 4.5 A Reason To Fight

Chapter 33

Rodimus Convoy's optics came online slowly. He was still in pain, but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as it was. He took a look at his surroundings. He was in a medical room, lying on a table. A few monitors were on one side, keeping track of his vitals. Other than that, the room was practically empty. Or so he thought.

Lori yawned, waking up. She had dozed off leaning on Rodimus Convoy's shoulder. His face turned towards her and she smiled, "Finally awake?"

He turned away, not wanting to talk.

"What's the matter?" Lori asked, now worried.

"I'm sorry," he muttered in response.

Now she was confused. "For what?"

"Because of me, you were almost killed. Because of me, because of what I am. I've put you in danger, danger you don't deserve to be in," he answered, sitting up. "Look at me. I'm nothing more than a weapon. I'm just an accident waiting to happen. So long as I'm like this, you can't be safe."

Lori raised an eyebrow at him, "What do you mean?"

"I can't do this anymore, Lori," Rodimus answered. "I have to choose who I want to be, because I can't be both Rodimus Convoy and Coby Rumble." He stood, slightly shaky, and began to walk towards the door.

"Stop!" Lori called out, jumping to the floor. "You're not supposed to leave until you're fully recovered."

He turned towards her, "So long as I am here, you're in danger. I can't do that to you."

"If you go, I'll be in even more danger," she replied. He gave her a quizzical look, and she indicated for him to sit, which he did. "If you weren't around, I wouldn't be alive right now. If you hadn't have become Rodimus Convoy, I'd be lying dead and frozen in the Artic. Fighting is hard, and yes, it puts your loved ones in danger, but sometimes you don't have a choice."

"I don't want to fight anymore. It's pointless," he replied.

Lori nodded, realizing that he needed some time to himself. Standing, she said, "Promise me you'll get some rest. I'll come back later."

Rodimus nodded and watched her leave. He fervently wished that he could leave too; leave his life behind and go with her to start a new one. But he couldn't. He was too far damaged to safely turn back into Human form. For now, he had to remain the way he was, even if he didn't want to.

Outside, Lori talked to Galaxy Convoy.

"He's lost his will to fight," she told him. "I'm afraid that if he is forced to fight again, he won't be able to."

Galaxy Convoy nodded, "His will is one of fear. I once felt the same way. Perhaps I can help him. Do you know if he can forge a sword?"

Lori gave the Commander a quizzical look, "What do you mean?"

"Master Galvatron had the ability to forge a sword out of the power of his very spark," Galaxy Convoy explained. "Since Rodimus Convoy has a similar form and similar powers, I wonder if he can forge a sword as well."

"He probably can," Lori answered. "I'll ask him."
