Chapter 8 warning

After letting ratchet scan his new form and helping Raf check the conspiracy website, Optimus decided to curl up in dragon mode and get some rest.

After a short while he felt a tap on his shoulder. "What is it now ratchet?" he grumbled, not bothering to get up. "it's onyx, Mr. grumpus prime." a deep voice grumbled. Optimus whirled his helm around to see that it was indeed onyx, and he was back in the fog realm.


"Sorry to wake you, but primus needs to speak with you and I had to bring you here before the old bot went insane." onyx growled. Optimus stood up and stretched, why did they always have to interrupt his power down? "Where is primus then?" Optimus sighed. Onyx gently grabbed Optimus' wing and started glowing. Within the blink of an optic, they were teleported to a different location. The fog was even thicker and Optimus started to feel light helmed.

"Why am I here again?" Optimus stretched his wings and sighed. Catching a glimpse of onyx's irritated glare, he sat down and growled. "Optimus, have you seen Megatron at all lately?" primus huffed. "Yeah, why?" "I have reason to believe he is up to something; he may know about the venom outbreaks." primus sighed. Optimus rolled his optics. "So? When is Megatron not up to something?" he grumbled. "I'm not sure what is going on in that twisted mind of his, but you must avoid engaging him until we are certain." primus seemed to be on edge. "Can't, I've got to help get rid of another one of his failed projects. That stupid hydra can bite him for all I care but if it bites one of my autobots, they might not survive." Optimus mumbled. "Optimus, listen to reason, if they hydra bites you again, it could be enough to either kill you or cause you to lose control completely." onyx growled. "Well, its started targeting humans according to Megatron, so I'll take my chances."

Optimus noticed the fog start to swirl around him. 'frack' he thought. He took a deep breath before saying, "if it settles your spark any, I'll be cautious. I won't take my optics off of him if possible." primus sighed. The fog settled and Optimus relaxed. With a quick glance at primus, onyx started glowing and grabbed Optimus' wing. He teleported him back to where he had found the young prime earlier. Optimus nodded his helm to onyx as he teleported away. With a final sigh, he curled up and continued his power down.
