Chapter 5 betrayal
When Optimus woke up, he found himself in an empty room that didn't seem to have an exit. 'Is this the emergency bunker built by the pentagon?' Optimus thought. suddenly a ground bridge portal opened and ultra magnus walked through followed by wheeljack, bumblebee, and ratchet. Optimus stood and glared at ultra magnus. Though the mental rage was over for the moment, he still felt irritated about the whole tranquilizer dart incident.
"What do you want? You going to chain me up as well as keep me locked in here?" the prime retorted. Ultra magnus glared back and said stiffly, "no, we just want to talk." Optimus grumbled, rolling his optics. "Due to what happened last night, the cons found our base, so please Optimus, now's not the time for aggression." ratchet sighed. "How did they find our base?" Optimus mumbled. "Bad timing. Screamer flew by and happened to see us. Doc picked up his signal and got everyone out before the whole place came down." wheeljack sighed. Ratchet glared at him for the nickname but didn't say anything else.
This was all so overwhelming, Optimus couldn't help the aggression, another side effect of the venom, his optics flickered purple as his glare settled on ratchets med kit bumblebee was holding. Crossing his arms and directing his gaze to ratchet he growled, "why the frack did you bring that?" ratchet glanced back at bumblebee before looking at ultra magnus. After a reassuring nod, he said, "Raphiel had a theory, that your stress levels could be what triggered the outbreak, ultra magnus suggested installing a sensor to, uh, warn you so no one gets hurt."
He wasn't sure why it happened or what triggered it, but the prime snapped. He roared, "YOU THINK IM SOME MONSTER? ILL SCRAP ALL OF YOU!" he transformed and lunged at ultra magnus; in a blazing rage he spewed fire at the autobots. "go, before I kill all of you. Leave me alone. Traitors." he gowled. Using the word hurt to describe the look on ratchets face was an understatement. Traitors? They only wanted to help him. "Come on, let's leave him be." ultra magnus whispered.
