It was only days after their last time together that once again, Optimus, Aquaformer and the rest of the Autobots were once again called to fight off the despicable Decepticons. This time, they had attacked an electrical station that was apparently out in the middle of nowhere, or so it seemed to the Autobots. The Autobots raced to get there to protect the humans from the cons and to stop the cons from stealing the energy.
Arriving on scene, Aquaformer and Optimus knew that it was highly likely that the Cons were already trying to strip every ounce of energy from the plant and so, neither was surprised when the firing of lazer weaponry started. And so the battle began once again. Megatron, seeing not only his old nemesis but also the femme, was ready to take both out. But he would start with the Prime.
"Funny we should meet again, Optimus" Megatron shouted as he flew down to meet up with Optimus.
"Wish I could say I'm happy to see you" Optimus answered sarcastically.
Enraged by the Prime's comment and the presence of both Optimus and Aquaformer, Megatron replied, "Enough talk, let's fight." Megatron began blasting away at the Prime.
"As you wish, you foul bot" Optimus replied dodging shots, through most seemed to hit him. Optimus fired back at the Con leader as their leaders' troops began fighting each other. Aquaformer stayed near the Prime as she sensed that was where she was needed. She fired her own weapon at Megatron, causing him to be just as damaged as Prime. Soon, the battle was over, and both leaders were severely injured. Megatron flew off with his troops while Aquaformer flew off with Optimus.
Ironhide wasn't sure what was up, but he figured Aquaformer knew more as Aquaformer was fighting right next to Optimus. Hide just hoped both were ok.
Aquaformer, sensing something, soon landed in an isolated spot. She took Optimus out of her aerial mode and laid him on the ground. Only then did she transform back into Robot mode and began addressing his many wounds. She could see that many were very deep and would need a medic, but she sensed that if she didn't do something, he would be lost. And so, without thinking of anything else but trying to save the Prime, Aquaformer released her spark, which appeared slightly broken and full of scars from all the times that she had been mistreated. And after she released hers, she used an ancient text that was used to call out sparks, though only if Primus allowed it, to try and call out Optimus spark. She wasn't sure if it would work, due to him having the Matrix.
After she finished saying the ancient text, at first, nothing happened. She feared she had either said the text wrong or Primus had determined that this was not right. She started crying and feeling very vulnerable, as her spark was exposed and the cons could easily kill her if they found her now. She was just about to give up hope when Optimus' chest plates began moving. She thought she heard something but wasn't sure at first. Then she saw what she had hoped to see – Optimus spark was being released. She hoped that the Matrix wouldn't be released with it, as she knew that meant Primus was calling Optimus home.
Aquaformer could only watch and wait as Optimus' form began to release his spark. And in great relief to Aquaformer, only Optimus' spark was released. Aquaformer's own spark raced towards his, wanting to not only reignite the spark of the Prime but also bond with it. Unseen by Aquaformer, Optimus' spark raced jut as fast to join with the femme's spark. Soon, Aquaformer began to feel Optimus and learn all about him. She knew then what had happened – they had spark bonded. She let him feel her and get to know her through the spark bond. Neither realized during this time that not only did they bond, but Aquaformer became sparked. All that mattered to Aquaformer was that the Prime was saved.
Optimus, after the sparks returned to their appropriate chambers, soon woke. "Aquaformer?" Optimus asked, a bit surprised as he came to.
"Yes, Prime, it is I" the femme answered. "I brought you here to see if I could help fix you up a bit before I brought you to Ratchet."
Optimus nodded, alive but still a bit weak. Aquaformer tried pulsing love across the bond, hoping it would help. Optimus felt it, and while it felt right, it confused him. "Aquaformer, why do I feel love that you seem to be pulsing to me?" Optimus asked.
Aquaformer sighed. "In order to save you, I… I had to bond our sparks to reignite yours" Aquaformer revealed. Optimus, a bit stunned, could only nod. "Come, I'll fly us back to base." Optimus carefully got back inside Aquaformer, his now mate. He just hoped that now that they were bonded, everything would be okay. He didn't realize that the bond was going to lead to something more, but for now, the only thing that was important to the pair was getting Optimus back for repairs. Anything else, including Megatron, could wait for now.
