Chapter 19: The Return
Jade felt dazed, like she was floating, two arms were wrapped around her, but she didn't stir in them. She was complete relaxed, why should she worry on who was holding her?
Raf watched as Ratchet was beaten up by Megatron, or Jade... He was too confused on the matter. They were on aboard the Decepticon warship, trying to stop Megatron's awakening. Miko was holding off some 'cons that had spotted them early, Raf hoped she was okay, she had just mastered flying, but she used a lot of energy flying around.
Ratchet was soon knocked back into a wall. Gulping, Raf took action. "JADE! STOP!" His voice held power, the power to take control of people, the power he feared, he needed.
"Jade! Stop!" She heard the yell and her eyes snapped open. She was underwater, but she was breathing. Focusing she was back in control of her own body.
It was then she notice her surroundings, the Decepticon Lab. Looking around she saw that she had a shield holding up a dark energon shard and another around Ratchet's neck.
She let go of the one on Ratchet, she then clamped down on her ears at the roar that raged in her head. :How dare you deify me!: Megatron started to gain control.
Jade however fought back, trying to block him out. She fell to the floor, as Megatron attacked her mentally, racking claws down her body.
"Jade?" Raf asked, placing a hand on his sister's shoulder.
Jade's head shot up to look at him, red eyes stared him down, right into his spark. Megatron lifted Jade's hand and smacked him on the check. "Stupid boy," He sneered. He waved his hand and bought down the dark shard into his old body.
Raf stood BACK UP and ran over to Jade, who now lay unconscious on the ground. He removed the patch link from her head and waited. "Wake up..." He whispered. "WAKE UP!" He commanded.
Green eyes shot open, Jade sat up gasping. Ratchet grabbed the two of them and stood up, her eyes locked on the berth.
The two of them looked over to see what she was staring at.
Megatron rose from the berth, he locked his eyes on Jade. "Leave this ship, before I change my mind and kill your friends."
Ratchet transformed and drove out the medbay, she then rang Miko.
Miko brushed off her hands as she had just kicked Decepticon aft. She paused as her phone went off in her pocket.
"Hello?" She greeted.
"Miko, I'm headed towards you, get ready to jump in." The line went dead and Miko put away her phone. At the sound of an engine, she looked up to see Ratchet driving at top speed towards her.
Although Diamond had no idea what the end run on Polyhex was, he got the general idea, mess with the 'cons, while Prime sneaked on aboard.
Arcee was handling Knock Out, Bulkhead and Cliffjumper were fighting off Breakdown. While Diamond and Bumblebee had Flatline, who was very much holding her own against the pair. Suddenly a blast sounded, everyone paused in their fight and looked up only to be blasted backwards by powerful shock wave.
Diamond managed to form a sphere of ice around him, before the blast hit. The ice held on as the blast past him, after it deformed, he waved his hand, and the ice melted. Looking around he saw the others starting to stand up, however he gasped at what he saw next, Optimus, badly damaged, with Starscream about to fire a missile at him.
Diamond broke into a run, he jumped and dived into the ice, like it was water. He moved through the ice at a faster speed. Once above Optimus, he gave a mental command to the ice, that pulled Optimus down into the ice with him, moving quickly he got Optimus back above the ice at a safe distance from Starscream and the other Decepticons.
"Optimus, are you alright?" He asked, standing on the Autobots leader's arm.
Optimus shock his head and stood up, "I am fine, thank you Diamond. I forgot Frost Guardians could do that."
"Optimus!" The other 'bots drove/ran towards him.
"Megatron is back," Arcee barked, skidding to a halt.
"What?" Optimus frowned under his mask, looking up he saw Megatron on the warship, with a grovelling Starscream. He went wided eyed and froze. But not from Megatron, he felt her.
"Jade?" He questioned, he turned his head, spotting Ratchet, Miko, Raf and Jade on one of the ice glacier, the kids, seeing him, waved.
"What are they doing here?" Bulkhead muttered.
"We'll soon find out." Cliffjumper stated, as they all began to walk towards Ratchet and the kids.
Jade sat on the medical bed as Ratchet used her holoform to give her a check up. "Well, it seems everything is in order." She muttered. "How about the bond? Is it just Optimus and Raf you feel, nothing else?"
Jade focused for a few minutes, before shacking her head. "Nothing, just Dad and Raf."
"Good to hear," Ratchet smiled, happy that Jade was back to normal.
" Jade," The rasp whisper made Jade jump up right in her bed, she shivered as she was covered in sweat.
"Jade?" She jumped, Cliff was looking at her, worry written on his face. "Something wrong?"
She forced a smile, "No, I'm fine, just a bad dream." 'I hope.'
