Finally away from what seemed like drama, Optimus entered the area that passed for a med bay carrying Lancex and with Megatronus following close behind Optimus. Ratchet was patiently waiting - we'll, as patient as Ratchet got. "Alright, set him down and I'll take a look at him" Ratchet barked. Optimus carefully set Lancex down and Ratchet began his work.
And while Ratchet worked, Megatronus carefully pulled Optimus aside. Well, more like Megatronus tugged on Optimus arm and Optimus moved to the area Megatronus wanted to head to. Optimus wasn't sure exactly what Megatronus wanted. "So, old friend, who is that unknown bot that your medic is examining?" Megatronus asked, curious.
"Well, old friend, his name is Lancex" Optimus answered as he looked at his old friend. Optimus had a small telltale hitch in his voice that Megatronus recognized.
Megatronus smiled at that and replied, "so, Orion, do you have feelings for this Lancex?"
Optimus unwillingly blushed at the question, indicating his answer, but replied, "I could never lie to you, old friend. Yes, Megatronus, I do have feelings for Lancex. And before you ask, yes I love Lancex and the dragon bot you met, named Predaking also loves Lancex. We are working together to win over his spark" Optimus softly answered in case the walls had audios. Megatronus smiled and wished his old friend the best of luck. Without saying anything, Optimus smiled and was happy that Megatronus had returned to himself.
Soon, Ratchet had finished working on Lancex and looked over to Optimus and Megatronus. "So, what was wrong with him?" Optimus asked about Lancex. The concern for Lancex made Megatronus and Ratchet smile.
"Lancex is fine, just utterly exhausted" Ratchet replied. That reply was a relief to Optimus' audios. Just then, a cough came from behind Optimus and Megatronus. They looked towards the sound and there was Predaking.
Optimus smiled upon seeing the dragon bot. "He's fine, just tired. Care to assist him to get some rest?" Optimus asked Predaking with a sparkle in Optimus' optic. Predaking nodded, grabbed the sleepy bot, positioned the bot bride style and then left, leaving Optimus nearly laughing, Megatronus stunned, and Ratchet trying hard not to laugh. Optimus wanted to follow, but Megatronus asked Optimus to stay back. Optimus commed Predaking that the Prime would join them once Megatronus was examined.
Megatronus then sat down on the berth, a bit nervous as he didn't know Ratchet well, but knew darn well of the bot's reputation. After several scans, including a few deep scans of systems, Ratchet found that what had happened had reset Megatronus to what he had previously been and deleted the faulty program that had turned Megatronus into the violent Megatron.
Ratchet smiled at that and then declared that Megatronus was healthy and ready for duty. Optimus nodded and then asked if Megatronus wanted assistance to head back to the others, but Megatronus encouraged Optimus to go to Predaking and Lancex. Optimus didn't need a second reminder and headed off. Megatronus and Ratchet laughed before Megatronus returned to the others, in a way, hoping he could find what Optimus had. Little did he know what was in store for him.
