chapter 2
Rodimus was recently born to Optimus Prime and Elita one. Rodimus is well loved by his parents. Elita is rocking her new son. Optimus comes up and smiles. "Little Rodimus," Optimus said stroking his son's cheek.
"What do you think he will grow up to be?" Elita asked.
"Whatever he wants to be he can be anything, it's up to us to help it come true," Optimus said.
Elita placed Rodimus in the bassinet which was one of many gifts from Cybertron's high council and family members. There even many gifts from the humans of Detroit. They were all being so thoughtful.
Optimus and Elita were learning what it is like to be parents. The others learned what it was like to live in a base with a sparkling. Rodimus barely slept two hours at a time. Every night the bots and Sari were woken by his cries. Rodimus had to be fed every two hours and had to be changed every three hours. After feeding he had to be burped and then he would spit up sometimes and his face had to be cleaned. He also had to be rocked and bathed.
Optimus and Elita sure were tired they dozed off every chance they got. Kup and Ratchet understood being older bots that sparklings were a lot of work. Sari understood the same thing about human babies that they were a lot of work too.
The others were helping too.
Today was nice day Optimus and Elita decided to take Rodimus out for a while. "That's a good idea fresh air is good for sparklings," Ratchet told them.
Optimus placed Rodimus in his baby stroller. "Okay we are all ready to go," Optimus said.
"Great," Elita said.
So they went out for a walk.
Blitzwing was flying through the air investigating things. "Hmm haven't seen much Autobot activity at the moment," Blitzwing said to himself. "Hmm what is that?" he said. He saw something in the park and he used his optics for a closer look.
He saw Optimus and Elita. He saw Elita pushing a stroller and saw Optimus take out the infant who was fussing. "Oh it's okay Rodimus," Optimus said. "The dragonfly isn't going to hurt you," he said. Then the sparkling cooed at the dragonfly and wasn't scared anymore.
Then Optimus kissed the sparkling on the forehead and placed him back in the stroller.
"Oh Megatron is going to be quite interested in this." Blitzwing said. He headed back to their base in the mine.
"Blitzwing why are you back so soon?" Lugnut asked. "Megatron doesn't like it when we shirk our work," he said.
"Lugnut I found something while out on patrol that Megatron would love to know," Blitzwing said.
"What did you find?" Lugnut asked.
"You will find out when I tell Megatron you big oaf!" Blitzwing said changing into Hot head.
"Well go tell him if it is so important," Lugnut said.
Once again Icy, Blitzwing came up to Megatron. "What is it Blitzwing?" Megatron asked.
"Megatron I spotted that Prime and his missus in the park," Blitzwing said.
"Were there any allspark fragments?" Megatron asked.
"No sir," Blitzwing said.
"Then why would I be pleased with that?" Megatron asked.
"Well sir I saw something interesting when I saw the prime and his missus," Blitzwing said.
"Well what did you see which was so interesting?" Megatron asked.
"They had a sparkling with them," Blitzwing said.
"What?" Lugnut said.
"A sparkling you say?" Megatron asked.
"Yes," Blitzwing said.
"That would explain why we haven't see her as of late, first we find out she was Blackarchnia returned to her previous form and back to the Autobots and now this," Lugnut said.
"Yes that does explain a few things, what can you tell me about this sparkling?" Megatron asked Blitzwing.
"I saw them taking it for a stroll, from what I can tell the child is male," Blitzwing said. "The child was a dark red color, with some orange details, and I thought for sure I saw large yellow flames mark on his chest." he said. Then Random Blitzwing came. "Yes and the baby started to cry and the prime was all like hush little baby don't say a word daddy's going to buy you a mocking bird," he said in sing song.
"Hmm very interesting," Megatron said. "I heard of the legends of a bot who's coming was foretold who would be the greatest hero in all of Cybertron." he said. "This child fits the description from what you told me," he said.
"My lord if this is the chosen one that is spoken of won't he be trouble for you in the future master?" Lugnut asked.
"Yes I am thinking about that Lugnut," Megatron said. "No doubt about it this child will cause problems for us," he said. "I feel he must either be eliminated or brought here to be made into one of us," he said.
"That sounds crazy even to me," Blitzwing said.
"That is a glorious plan Megatron," Lugnut said.
"However it may prove difficult to do either one, those blasted Autobots probably already know and are probably already protecting him." Megatron said. "The Elita guard if they know probably already sent more Autobots with high levels of skill to protect the child." he said. "Which means we must go about this carefully," he said.
Thus Megatron began to plan on how to either kill of little Rodimus or kidnap him and turn him into a Decepticon.
Meanwhile at the plant the Autobots were all enjoying cute little Rodimus. They loved him very much. They knew he was going to be a fine Autobot when he grows up. But they also knew he needed protection.
Meanwhile Megatron was contacting someone. "Lockdown I have a job for you," Megatron said.
"What kind of job?" Lockdown asked.
"It appears the prime here on earth and missus have a sparkling who apparently is the chosen one of legend who was foretold," Megatron said. "I want you to capture him and bring him to me so I can turn him into a Decepticon I want to prevent him from becoming an enemy who will give us trouble," he said. "Plus with me having his son, that prime wouldn't dare hurt him if he were to challenge me," he said. "You will get some fine upgrades too." he told him.
"Fine by me," Lockdown said. "Consider it done," he said and left.
