First off, I would like to apologize for anyone who has read/enjoyed this fan made Episode of Death Battle. While I was (and still am) proud of I how it turned out, I have been doing some thinking about both the movie and the TV show that both of the respected characters are from, and like I said, I made a mistake. So I'm going to make it up by explaining what I realized/remembered/and got wrong at the end of this of this chapter but for now, enjoy the Alternate Battle. Oh yeah, Lady Death is (at the moment) owned by Coffin Comics and was never owned by Dark Horse, my bad.
DEATH BATTLE
In the deepest pits of Hell, a young woman with unnaturally long white hair with skin and eyes of the same color wearing black lingerie and high heeled boots with golden skulls on it was walking around with a long sword in her hand and another (much bigger sword sheathed to her belt. It has some time since she killed her father Lucifer, and she diced to enjoy the peace, this young woman was Lucifer's daughter Hope AKA: Lady Death.
"I must say, it's actually a lot nicer here with that bastard actually dead." She muttered to herself.
She turned to see a green portal opening up at a distance with a red and blue semi truck coming out of it in which the portal itself instantly disappeared. Hope was even more surprised to see the truck turn into a humanoid robot who looked like he was checking it's surroundings, this was Hope's opponent: Optimus Prime. Hope was enraged, she finally got and peace and quiet and now someone else had to appear and cause trouble, seeing that she was the only other one there, she diced to take matters into own hands. Lady Death walked up to the two story machine who shot her glare only to have him return one of his own to her.
"You are not welcomed here." She began pointing her sword at the autobot leader. "Leave while you still can." While Optimus was somewhat impressed by the Queen of Hell's boldness, he remained completely unfazed by it as well while Hope herself lowered her weapon.
"I'm afraid that I can not that." Optimus replies nonchalantly, he hold his hand up as a sign of not wanting any violence. "Stand down." Hope narrowed her eyes slightly obviously offended by his request.
"Fool, I take orders from no one. Especially not from a machine." She answers with her feet, eyes, and long sword all glowing blue with the power of desire since she was getting ready for battle.
"I had a feeling that you would say that." Optimus said with his mask appearing over his mouth and and his swords poping out of his hands.
FIGHT!
Hope Hovered over towards Optimus's face for a first strike but the autobot quickly blocked it with his dual blades. When the two locked blades, Lady Death then had an idea and charged everything she had with the power of desire into her long sword to turned it into a makeshift shotgun aimed directly at her opponent's face. Thinking fast, Optimus noticed the blue flame like aura around the blade going crazy, so he squeezed his optics (eyes) shut and used both swords with all his might to cut the human sized sword in half before it could even explode, he then turned one of his hands into one his blasters and shot Lady Death as soon as he lined up his sights with her, sending the Queen of Hell flying into a wall and then falling back onto the ground.
Quickly getting over her new injuries, she saw that the impact caused some boulders to fall around her, so she used the power of desire to pick them up and sent them flying towards Optimus who shot all of them with his blaster. But as Prime shot the last one, he also saw Lady Death rushing towards his leg with her other sword Darkness in attempt to cut it off. Optimus narrowly moved his leg and received a large cut just above his ankle, the two stopped fighting for a minute as Lady Death began to speak up again realizing that she might have underestimated the autobot leader.
"So maybe your not child's play after all, no matter…" She said tightly clenching her fist. "I'm ending this now."
"I think not." Optimus countered, Lady Death raised an eyebrow in confusion and being a bit worried about he will do next. Prime then switched into his vehicle form and slammed on the gas barley giving Hope enough to time to react as her face met the grill of Optimus's truck form running her over, he then changed back into his robot form as he was starting think that what he did may have been a bit too much as he watched Lady Death slowly stand up and spit out some blood when she got back on her feet, this time Optimus spoke up. "I must, you are not like any of the other humans I have encountered, not that I'm just realizing it." He said with his arms crossed, Hope looked up at him not too sure what would someone or something like him would be involved with people back on Earth, but to her it also didn't matter.
"That's because I USED to be human." She replied somewhat surprising Optimus now being less sure about what she was. "But like I said, I'm ending this now." She picked up Optimus's whole body catching him completely off gaurd slamming the giant robot into the ground multiple times until she sent him flying towards himself no longer using the power of desire ready to cut him in half with darkness, but was stopped when Optimus pulled out a giant sword of his own with a light blue glow. They locked blades once more, amazingly, Optimus's best weapon was holding pretty well against Darkness. "What? What is this?" Lady Death asked both out of frustration and fascination.
"The Star Saber." Optimus answered ignoring the dents that he just received. "I do not know who or what you are, but I can still see that you are a worthy opponent."
"Although I am flattered at that, I still can't let you win." Lady Death said with honesty as she and Optimus got into another sword fight as soon as she hovered up to Optimus's height once more. She then charged everything she had with the Power of Desire into Darkness and with one mighty swing she actually breaks The Star Saber into two halves causing Prime's optics to grow as wide as they can get. "And as for who and what I am, I am Lady Death, and I will be your executioner!" She roared as she picked up Optmius once more with The Power of Desire and tossed into another wall burying him in a pile of boulders which he easily started to get him self out of. While he was distracted, Hope then quickly hovered over to Optimus as an opportunity to finsh him off once and for all, but again he saw her coming and opened up his chest plates revealing the Matrix of Leadership charging for a blast aimed directly at Hope.
"One shall Stand, One shall Fall." Optimus stated, but when he was about to take the shot, Lady Death moved out of the way just before the blast could even hit her and only ended up burning off pieces of her hair. Optimus tried to grab her but Hope then used Darkness and cut his arm off and then with one last swing she cleaved his head clean off his shoulders decapitating Optimus causing his head to fall on to the ground, and a few seconds later the rest of his body did the same. Lady Death then slowly hovered down to the ground wiping some sweat or her forehead with a satisfying smile on her face putting Darkness back in it's sheath.
But before she could say or do anything else a glowing white orb appeared out Optimus's neck which the orb took the form of a transparent Optimus completely unscratched with his mask off who gave a soft smile to the Queen of Hell.
"So I see you have defeated me, that's just prime." He said with a confused Lady Death seeing that this was an equivalent to a soul which she never would have guessed her opponent would have one, and was even more surprised on how passive he still was despite being dead thanks to her. "But before I go, I have a favor to ask you."
"A favor? What kind?" She asked a little more relaxed.
"The reason why I'm here is because a human boy by the name of: Jackson Darby was kidnapped, my team managed to track him down here so I decided to go alone not to risk any of them getting hurt. Now that my Spark is the only thing that is left of me, I need someone else to complete this mission, do you accept?" He asked, Hope was baffled, she was hoping that this was a trick but what she was just told felt completely true, she fell on her knees looking at the ground realizing that she just killed an innocent and more likely put another in danger.
"I… I accept it." She said weakly, Optimus's spark then place a finger under Hope's chin and moved it up to look at him.
"Do not let what happened to me fill you with guilt, I understand that I shouldn't have come here. Just bring Jack home, I promise you that everything will be alright."
"How I don't know where to take him." Lady Death said completely unsure.
"My medic: Ratchet will open a Ground Bridge as soon as you find Jack and it take to our base where the others including his mother and friends will be waiting for him." Optimus explained having Lady Death thinking that's what he called the portal he went through. "I wish you luck, Lady Death." He finished as his spark made its way out of Hell as Hope stood up wiping some tears away from her eyes, she looked back at Darkness pulling it out of its sheath and tightly gripping it's handle.
"Still, it was a good fight." Lady Death said walking off to keep her promise.
KO!
[We see Lady Death getting Jack out of what looked like a prison cell after killing the demons who kidnapped him while Optimus's spark makes its way to Heaven]
Boy, the autobots are not going to like this, but at least they can be happy to see that Jack is alive. Now before any Transformers fans threaten to murder me, let me explain why I said Optimus would win was a mistake.
1. Because Lady Death spent what looked like years of training with Creamator which clearly does not compete with Optmius always being on the battlefield, but does help her prepare on what to do IF she was gonna go into battle and (like I said) already held her own against future pets (which is what she calls her wolves/the hell hounds I mentioned earlier) before she even began training.
2. While Hope would bring her wolves, soldiers, and horse into battle with her, she has proven to take matters into her own hands when going against Lucifer and his followers, to where Optimus is rarely seen fighting by himself, rather if it would be with his teammates or a fragile alliance with a decepticon. In fact, he would have died from the fight with Nemesis Prime if Agent Fowler didn't step in and pulled the plug on who was controlling him. Now I'm not saying that Optimus isn't capable fighting alone, I'm just saying that while he would take the seemingly dangerous missions alone, there's barely ever any times where he actually did, not just in the Prime/Beast Hunters series, but really in general no matter the incarnation.
3. Also Lady Death gets crap done faster, what I mean is that while Optimus and Hope maybe equal in terms of being adaptive, let's be a reminder that there are 65 episodes of Transformers Prime which is does NOT count as a number of days the autobots and decepticons have been fighting. In fact, Optimus alone was in almost all of them and each episode was aired once a week so if I did this: 65 (66 counting the Predacons Rising TV movie) episodes plus 1 day multiplyed by all 7 days of the week, that would mean Optimus and his team were fighting on Earth (and Cybertron on rare occasions) for almost 73 days, which is not all that bad, but Lady Death finished all of her battles in the movie in less than ONE WEEK.
So Hope puts the Death both in Lady Death and Death Battle.

Preview for the next fight:
A young man wearing a black leather jacket with a chain wrapped around his chest who was walking through the woods until he notices a girl with pink hair and wearing a red outfit lying on the ground bloody and bruised, the young man runs up to help her.
"Are you okay?" He asked worried, she slowly looked up at him and gave a soft smile, thinking that he was pretty handsome.
"Yeah… thanks…" she said as the gentleman helped her up back on her feet. Just then, a much younger looking guy appeared from the trees, he had dark blue hair and very thin looking sword sheath on his "rope like" belt who shot a glare at the leather clad stranger.
"And just who the hell are you? And what did you do with Sakura to have her all banged up like that?" the strange boy asked in a rather emotionless tone, the stranger's eyes went wide as he saw that there was a lot of darkness within the mysterious boy. Before the stranger can even speak, he begins to cry out in pain and grabbed his head with both hands, it was the girl's trun to be worried.
"Hey! What's wr-" But she was interrupted when she saw the young man burst into flames with inhuman roar. When the flames cleared out, a skeleton with a flaming skull wearing the rescuer's black leather outfit and chain was standing in his place as he looked at the blue haired boy whose eyes widened in complete surprise, the skeleton then point his finger at the boy as he began to speak.
"You… GUILTY!"
