Chapter 2 - Island Life
It was rumored that somewhere in the ocean there is an island where myths roam the waters like birds ruled the skies. Of course the island had never been found and the inhabitants of it where more than happy to keep the little piece of heaven safe from tainted human hands.
"Stay still damn it!" Ratchet hissed smacking his leader upside the head as he tried to bind the Prime's injury. Optimus winced but regardless stayed still not daring to further irritate the medic. Ratchet grumbled something or other his tail flickering behind him using thin strands of seaweed as a type of thread and a thin bone as a needle to stitch up the wound.
The medic's eyes flickered up to his friend's face before returning to his work "I'm worried about the con's lack of activity" Optimus confided in the medic Ratchet hummed in agreement "Is it too much to hope they died of starvation?" Ratchet asked a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth "That it would old friend" Prime replied humor lacing his voice "But i fear there lack of activity is caused by more pressing matters than a successful hunting trip" He added
Ratchet frowned tying up a knot in the thread "You don't mean..." he trailed off belief of what he was hearing "My brother has always been driven by ambition i doubt mere legend would stop him" Optimus said gravely "But that's..." Ratchet was interrupted by a someone bolting into the underwater med bay.
A flustered looking Percy glanced up at both the medic and his leader "Jackie's done it again" He said as though it explained everything and it some ways it did. Ratchet swore loudly cursing out the Primus forsaken scientist and his half baked explosive idea's Percy paled before meekly adding
"And the twins were involved"
Ratchets face burned a bright red in anger as Percy ducked his head
"I'M GOING TO KILL THEM!"
Elsewhere
Blue chuckled easily dodging the yellow and black tailed boy, "Come on bee gotta be quicker then that!" Blue teased swimming circles around the younger boy "You swim at a million miles per hour!" Bee replied "He talks it too" he added more to himself then anyone else his tail flickering behind him as he stayed afloat in the calm waters.
The Two boys where playing tag near the coral reef, the lively activity of the multi-colored fish was infectious and had prompted them into playing although they both knew better then to play in the tempting open waters. "What you think's out there?" Blue suddenly asked moving to float at his side looking out past the corals and into the deep ocean blue
Bee shrugged his shoulders "Everything" He answered simply cocking his head to the side when he saw a flash of silver near the outer caves "Is Jazz fishing again?" Bee asked itching to move closer and find out what had caused the flash "Nah he's with Prowl, there in a meeting Boss called it this morning something about the con's no doubt" Blue said glancing at the sea floor "Hey an oyster!" He cried diving to retrieve the crustation
"Think it's got a pearl?"
"Bit small" Blue huffed at the answer rolling his eyes before prying the oyster open, it took a couple of seconds before he manged to open the shell frowning slightly when it revealed nothing "I swear i don't know how Elita does it," Blue said chuckling lightly.
Elita was known for her strange gift of picking oysters, ever since she was a merchild whatever oyster she picked up contained a pearl regardless of size of course the female leader claimed there was something different about an oyster when it carried a pearl.
Bee laughed scaring away the near by fish when his eyes caught sight of the same silver flash "Did you see that?" he asked pointing to where he saw the shimmer, Blue squinted shaking his head "There's nothing" He said pausing suddenly when he realized something
"Bee we gotta go"
"Why? Look see there it is!"
"Bee we gotta go"
"Blue it perfectly fine!"
"No Bee we've really gotta go" Blue repeated backing up slightly his eyes scanning the ocean Bee huffed flicking his blonde hair "Why?" He asked curious of the elders odd behavior "The reef"
Bee frowned glancing back at the now still Coral reef, the fishes having hid leaving it silent and still, Bee jumped to alert focusing his senses on the open ocean fear trickling into his body. The two boys shared a quick glance before they bolted heading back to shallower waters, Bee risked a glance backwards yelping when he saw the silver shark.
A flash of black appeared as Ironhide quickly took aim with a handheld plasma gun his face set into a scowl as he fired repeatedly at the shark, The Shark sneered at them bearing it's pointed teeth before retreating back into the ocean depths. The boys paused panting staring at the weapon specialist as he grumbled something
"Sharks should't be 'ttackin' this far inta tat island" He said turning to face the stunned boys "Come on let's get back ta the caves" He ordered making sure they stayed in front of him as they headed to the caves. "Megs is up ta something" he muttered prime's earlier words echoing his head, The black haired merman shock his head ridding himself of such thoughts.
Later...
The surface waves sloshed harmlessly against the pale white sand as the moon casted it's reflective light onto the sea giving the illusion the sea was made of a million sparkling diamonds like the dark night sky.
The air was warm, the night was silent. The children laid asleep in their caves safe from the ever changing world around them, He could sense it, Optimus frowned from where he sat on a rock overlooking the beach, his red and blue tail absently mildly creating ripples in the water "The tides are changing" he said to himself although he couldn't decided if the change was in his favor or not.
"There you are!" A female voice said snapping him out of his thoughts, Glancing down to the waters below, the pink haired and tailed mermaid grinned at him "Your doing that thing again" Elita said hosting herself up onto the rock "What thing?"
"The leader thing" She answered looking out to the sea "You gonna tell me what's on your mind or do i have to beat it out of you?" She asked optimus chuckled lightly "I do believe the beatings around here are served by our fowl tempered medic" He answered
The pair sat in a comfortable silence listening to the ocean sing it's lullaby "You worried about Megatron aren't you" Elita said
"It's not just Megatron"
"The shark attack?"
"Sharks don't attack this close to the island, had the boys be further out or Ironhide wasn't there-"
"There fine optimus, a little shaken but who can blame them?"
"We've lost to many children to the ocean, To the war"
Elita signed shaking her head "We've lost a lot of people, but will lose alot more if Megatron gets a hold of the artifact" She said leaning her head on his shoulder "You don't actually think it's out there do you?"
"When we fell into the waters we lost alot of artifacts, The Star-saber, The matrix it could be possible the cube was lost to the ocean as well"
"You're going to the city aren't you?" Elita commented knowing he indented to go to the lost city with or without her agreement "Megatron believes the cube exists, the first place he'd search is the city, I intend to be there to stop him"
"No, You're needed here- The city miles out! Humans sail those waters"
"It is a necessary risk, Sential is staying on the island. I am taking a small pod with me to travel to the city" He answered.
"What if the cube's not there? What if it really is a myth?"
Optimus chuckled "And are we not myth to humans?"
"Human's are heartless apes that destroy the land they live on and slaughter each other over pieces of paper- their too stupid to know the difference" Elita replied
"I believe they have the room for goodness"
"I hope you right, I really do" Elita signed taking the rare moment to cuddle up to her mate, She resented the idea of him going to the lost city although she knew she wouldn't be able to change his mind. Her only hope was that Megatron hadn't already beaten them too it.
Deep in the ocean...
In The dark cradle of the sea laid a land of golden ruin, buildings toppled- status broken, This was a world where even sharks dared not enter, a world lost to land, sea and time. And hidden safely away in the ruins rested an open chest, diamonds and gems sparkling as they tumbled out into the waiting hands of a person hidden in the shadows.
The person grinned holding the priceless gems but that was not what caught their attention instead it was the blueish silver cube they had been searching for, carefully they extracted the glowing artifact.
"We've found it!"
