Regeneration Part 2

"That which the four relics were designed to activate, we must locate the device before Megatron does and secure it until we can recover the keys." Dad further explained, i'm dumbfounded, literally.

"There are no other Iacon entries to decode. This lock could be anywhere here on earth." Ratchet said.

"Actually...it is on Cybertron." Dad then said.

"What?!" everyone in the room besides Dad exclaimed, my head is going to explode from being over-surprised.

"How do you know?" Ratchet asked.

"Yeah, how do you know?" i said making myself noticed.

Dad then spun around swinging his hammer over his shoulder, "Alpha Trion revealed its location to me during the message conveyed by the Star Saber." He said wandering towards the groundbridge laying the hammer against his shoulder.

"What?!" i exclaimed.

"And you didn't think to tell us?" Ratchet inquired.

Dad turned to face Ratchet "Alpha Trion did not wish it so." he said.

I growled. "Obi-wan listened to Qui-gon jinn didn't mean he was always right. I mean what the hell?" I said.

"With the forge of Solas Prime..." he then knelt down as he started climbing down to the engineering of the groundbridge. "We now posses the means of reaching Cybertron, i must work quickly as our tactical advantage over Megatron will not last long." He finished, climbing down further taking the forge with him.

I ran towards the groundbridge also, he was already at the bottom near the whole system that ran the groundbridge as i followed down, though the gaps between each step were huge but i don't care dammit, "normally i can take your bluntness into my strive but not this time." I started as i jumped down to the floor from six feet. "I mean seriously why couldn't you tell us?"

"Smokescreen was captured by Decepticons." He started as he took a whack at the power function, "and as a result Megatron now knows the function of the Omega keys, he could have known of the lock too. Even if i had told you, there was still that risk, even you could have been captured, as Soundwave had taken you out so easily." He said. Yeah just rub that in why don't cha.

"Y-yeah but...if you just...dammit!" i was on the verge of a mental breakdown, "Anything else Alpha Trion happen to mention?" each question i asked he took another swing. "How about the quill?" 'Whack!' "Or perhaps there's another Prime out there?" i said in a mocking tone now. 'Whack!' "Have you got any sisters?" 'Whack!'. "How about a pyramid that can suck the energy from the sun?" 'Whack!', "h-how about, where a...will you stop!"

He took another couple of swings before finally stopping, "i do not know what to say, but i will repeat, when this is all over, then we can talk."

"So before...wasn't real?" i said, bearing no hope.

"No that was real; do not think that despite what was on my processor that this was out of guilt." He firmly stated.

"So the whole 'what i know' thing?" i said.

"Inner fear, it was not easy bearing this knowledge, but i had to, even with the risk of hurting you all." He said. and with that said he took the hammer and made his way upstairs swiftly, not even looking at me.

i looked at the engineering, it hadn't changed physically but everything inside was emanating a much louder noise, "Stupid Space Bridge." I hissed under my breath kicking anything that was there at the time, i had to hit something.

I scuffed my feet as i looked to the floor holding my arm giving myself some comfort, i then heard a loud bang like Dad had dropped the hammer or something, then abruptly and swiftly i was taken hold of as he placed me on his shoulder, though i merely kept to a face of protest and even tried to get down, "please just be a little more patient with me." He said brushing a finger across my cheek.

I sighed, "Put me down please." I said, i can't take this, things are cool, then there not, things are cool, then there not, I'm getting confused.

"Are you still planning to leave?" he asked.

"Yes, it's a stable home, i have no idea what's going on so I'd really like to stay in one place at the minute." I said flatly, i need to stick with this decision.

"The only thing i can say then is, i support your decision." He said. As a he placed me on the floor,

he gave me a weak smile, but i appreciate that he was able to, but I'm not exactly thrilled with my decision either, "Thanks...you, gonna tell them the situation?" I mustered.

"I think Ratchet is finding out for himself." He said as Ratchet was checking the vital statistics of the now Space bridge and looking pretty excited.

"So what now?" i asked.

"We wait for Megatron to make the first move." Dad said.

"So..."

Then a loud beeping flooded my ears along with a green light that engulfed the whole room, the sound wasn't like the proximity sensor nor was it like an energon dictator it was a whoosh of loud. "Our senses are detecting a massive energon burst occurring outside Earth's atmosphere, a surge of that kind can only mean one thing, activation of another Space bridge." Ratchet said.

"Megatron has discovered the Omega lock is on Cybertron." Dad said.

"So there really was no point in keeping that information to yourself." I said under my breath.

"It appears we have lost our advantage." Ratchet said.

"But with Megatron unaware that we now posses the means of inter stellar travel, the element of surprise remains in our favor." Dad then turned to the other autobots, "we must embark on this mission with every resource at our disposal." he added pointing towards the hallway.

Arcee, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Smokescreen nodded as they headed there, "i may need to borrow your laboratory." Dad said to Ratchet as he then motioned me to follow, though i stood my ground, "do you really want to pass the opportunity to witness the forging of a weapon?" he said.

"Hurry up then." I frustrated blowing off hot air.

He took hold of the broken Star Saber as he went over to a med table in Ratchets lab and placed the Star Saber on the table he then swung the forge onto it and it...grew, the metal became liquidized at first but then extended still in a liquidized state as it grew with every hit and then eventually making up the Star Saber again. it begun to glow and hum as it had done so before, "Well that's...erm wow. Hey you think you can forge me a starship?" i said as he gave me an amusing expression, "i-i mean, i-its n-not r-really that i-impressive." I scoffed.

He then walked towards the group as this was it, he was going again, oh man i really can't stand him at the moment but he's leaving again for Cybertron, i can't just let him leave like this, what if this was like the whole Unicron thing, where he didn't come back? "Dad, wait." I said as he almost immediately came to a halt. "I hate that you've kept all this from me, but i can't hate you." I started as he knelt down with his sword in one hand, "p-please come back." I begged but a hiss of anger escaped me when ending that sentence.

"We will be back, i will be back, i swear it." He stated slightly hitting the ground with the Star Saber, he then stood up turning around and walking towards the others and carrying on towards the Space Bridge, "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost!" He announced as he put his sword in its hold and transformed as did everyone else.

"Be safe."

I was on my front as i dived under my bed to grab the empty boxes and suitcases that i had unpacked when i got here...heh...funny i still have one that needs unpacking. My job is somewhat done already i guess. Better start with my movies first, then I'll work out the cloths and bed sheets and what not then.

I walked out of my room carrying a box that i lent my chin on so i could see in front of me, the vaults are empty of iacon relics, errrr well...nearly...she gets me every time...and the base is quiet apart from the echoed pacing of Ratchet, oh i forget i have some movies still in the player upstairs. Despite my presence Ratchet continued pacing, so i didn't bother interrupting it, i went up the stairs as i checked the blu-ray player, huh Star Trek five, that was a good day.

Then a beeping sound came from the computer as Ratchet rushed over, "uh, Optimus?" he said eagerly.

"U-uh no Ratchet its Jack i-is something wrong? Cos schools been out for over an hour and no-ones showed to pick us up." Jack said.

"That is because the entire team is rather...indisposed at the moment. I suggest you obtain an alternative method of transport." He said.

"What's he saying?" came Miko's voice.

"The bots are busy." Jack said.

"Then tell Ratchet to come get us, it's not like he has anything else to do!" she said, which made me laugh.

"Just, go home! I will be in touch later." He then cut them off.

"You hung up on them? And your seriously going to just send them home?" i asked.

"I cannot be dealing with problems on the side, not at this crucial point in time; they'll be fine getting home on their own." He said.

"Then i take it i have to Space Bridge myself home too?" i said.

"Hmmm. Home...wait! Home! Your home!?" Ratchet suddenly had a burst of panic.

"Y-Yeah you know, in T-Tranquillity?" i said, wow so Ratchet is self-aware.

He slightly stared at me dumbfounded, "O-Oh, so to define you are merely making a quick visit? Moving a few of your personal belongings?" he asked a sound of panic lingered in his tone surprisingly.

"Well, no actually, I'm moving back, a few days or a few weeks I'm not sure i have no idea what's happening so I'd really like to just clear my head for a while." I said.

"Why do you not just stay here?" he asked.

"What, you mean live in a silo on my own?" i questioned.

"I...w-what do you mean on your own? We're here." He said screwing his face a little.

"Uh hello, Cybertron, you're leaving remember? Well i think...i don't know!" i said.

Ratchet looked as though he were figuring something out as a sudden realization appeared across his face, "Ah! Yes! Of course Cybertron! S-So you are staying here on Earth? I thought that you were merely indecisive with the choice but..." he started.

"You weren't really paying any attention except Cybertron; you can't just jump to conclusions like that. But just to clarify I'm staying on Earth." I said.

"Oh, well don't forget Starlight." He said quickly turning to face the computer, hmmm well that's curious.

"You want me to take her?" i asked.

"Well it is yours...i made it for you." He slightly trailed off before whacking a palm on his helm, "besides it has no use here it'll just be a dust collector!" He stated in all his grumpy glory.

"Okay. Well can you at least give me a hand with her?" I asked, i could put her in the living room i guess, it'll remind me of a time when Ratchet would give his full attention.

"I need to await a call from Optimus." He said.

"please?" I said in a begging voice.

He turned to me then the computer screen and repeated this process as he couldn't bare to pull himself from the screen, "very well! but make it quick!" He erupted.

Ratchet carried Starlight into my place bridal style through the groundbridge, into my house...well okay mansion, and i can tell you...it is the best ever! One main reason is because it looks exactly like Croft manor, inside as well as out, except the extended land.

So it was a convenient for the Autobots they can stand inside and the ducking places only require them to transform, i had set the co-ordinates for the living room which was very spacious, mainly because there was barely any furniture and a lot of walking around room, Ratchet lay Starlight on the floor, I'll leave her there for now, I'm sure i can fit a crane in here.

"Now if you'll excuse me i need to be at my post." He said. As he swiftly spun around facing the Space Bridge.

"Ratchet?" i said.

He sighed long and loud, as every part of his being slumped, "what?" he huffed.

"Aren't you going to miss me? Miss us? Not even a little?" i asked almost child like.

"I..." he started as he thought for a while, "perhaps Rafael, and..." he then stopped himself as he shook his head, "as i have said before we are only leaving, i find it hard to miss someone when i know they exist." He said before heading through the Space Bridge.

"I'll call you when i need a pick up." I said solemnly, just as he disappeared through the space bridge. I was hoping he would be a little more open than that, but there is something there at least, i just wish he wouldn't suppress it.

I took in my surroundings of this big place, it felt more empty then the silo, I might give this place a quick run through sometime see how much dust there is, now this place has about twelve bedrooms, that's insane, why the government had to go over the top with that i will never know but nonetheless it has its advantages, like for all the stuff i collect and its great for having friends over, i should name this place 'Ellen's Hotel' for the amount of times i've had a run of long movie marathons and video games or for...parties, w-well not for me personally but for my friends generally I'm like an old man when it comes to parties, well parties at my place mainly because I'm the one who has to clean up, i mainly lie on the couch, eating a bowl of pretzels with a set of ear muffs on as i try to control the level of volume on the music...y-ya know the neighbors and all heh. but yeah i think the reason for the mansion was basically for Autobot access.

Yeah this is my dream home, and as such with being a sixteen year old with the whole run of the place plus with my personality, i have no sense of style when setting up furniture, family portraits and stuff so it's basically a mansion designed by a six year old, now the living room is near enough half the size of a football pitch, the walls were too boring for me so i bathed the walls with Autobot related matters, events and what not, I'll have to add Jack, Miko and Raphael to the wall, Nemesis Prime, Wheeljack, our fight with MECH, all of it.

i wondered over to the walls as i reached for the paint brush that still sat in a can of paint, nice, good lord when did i leave this here? I'm an insult to the word 'tidiness', but believe it or not i do clean the whole place myself but only like once a month as i technically live more at base even though i have technically 'moved out' into here but i can't tear myself away from the others, well, i can deal with this stuff later, i want to keep myself updated with the situation, the element of surprise? I wish i could see Megatrons face, "Ratchet, i need a bridge." i said using my cellphone.

"Back and forth, back and forth, can't you stick to one thing?" he moaned.

i rolled my eyes, "just keeping your reflexes up to speed Ratch, now bridge me back already i need an update." well, maybe I'll give a tour of the place some other time, most likely soon.

A/N so next chapter will be OP's POV for the same episode, i'll give it a shot ;D now heres a random question, if i were to write a scenario which one should i do first, 'Ellen loses her memory' or 'Ellen dreams that the Autobots are sparklings'? not that I'm planning anything ;D though i have thought about writing a Christmas one shot hmmm thinking.

but yeah i'll be putting it up in a poll, 'Sparklings' or 'Memory loss' first? check it and be sure to vote ;D
