Chapter 5
It's been a week since Sapphire showed up. So far, Sapphire and Ratchet are getting along. Sometimes there will be playful argument but that's it.
Optimus hasn't brought up me liking him at all this week and I'm beginning to worry about his thoughts on it. But I'm too scared to ask him about it myself.
I have told Sapphire and she has encouraged me to do but I haven't and she's getting annoyed with me.
I wasn't paying attention to what Ratchet was saying but what snapped me out of my thoughts was Miko.
"Unicorn? The cons have a Unicorn?", she asked.
"Not Unicorn, Unicron", Ratchet corrects her.
"Unicron? What's he doing here?", I asked.
"He was ejected into space eons ago... and he must have collected debris around himself until he created this planet", Ratchet explained.
"So, all the freak weather is because of him?", Fowler asks.
"Yes", Ratchet says.
Optimus' voice came over comms. "Autobots, we have an unexpected ally."
"Who?", Ratchet asks.
"Megatron", he says.
We heard Megatron talking over the comms.
"Go. If you agree to allow me to help you, open a ground bridge. If not, then leave me here to fight Unicron", Megatron says.
Ratchet opens a ground bridge for Optimus and he comes through.
"So wait why is he allying himself with us?", I ask.
"Because he wants to conquer this world and if Unicron were to awaken, this planet would no longer be here", Optimus says.
"So, we need Megatron's help to save this planet?", Ratchet asks.
"And it's inhabitants", Optimus added.
"How do you know he won't try anything?", Arcee brought up a very good point.
"He won't. Not when there's a chance to save this planet so he can conquer it", Optimus says.
"So we're having him come here?", Ratchet says.
Optimus nods solemnly. "Open the ground bridge to the same coordinates."
Ratchet opened it and Megatron came through.
I glared at him. He just smiled right back at me making me growl. I stopped growling when Optimus looked at me sternly.
"So, this is where the magic happens. Quaint", Megatron says while looking around a bit.
Raf came out from where they were hiding and started yelling at Megatron. I quickly changed into my human form and dragged him away to Agent Fowler and June.
"Raf! Stay here!", I hissed. I had my human form disappear and glared at Megatron some more.
"So, Moon Princess, how did you escape?", Megatron asks.
"Magic", I say sarcastically as I roll my eyes. Megatron glares at me and I smirk.
"Megatron, the coordinates", Optimus said.
Megatron typed in the coordinates and opened the ground bridge. He turned to it and looked at Optimus.
Arcee caught his attention though when she said, "after you", with a glare.
I grin and follow Megatron but pull my katana's out. When Wheeljack was here, he taught me how to use them. I was still learning but I was a quick learner.
After me was Optimus, and the rest of the bots except for Ratchet.
"How long until he knows we're here?", Arcee asks.
"Make no mistake. He already knows", Megatron says as he looks around.
"Unicron grows ever stronger", Megatron says and walks away.
"How do we know Unicron isn't using Megatron to lead us into a trap", Arcee asks.
"We do not", Optimus says gravely
We follow Megatron but then I hear something behind us. I look and see nothing but keep my eyes and ears open. I put my katana's away then but I was still very alert.
We paused before an open space and Megatron said, "Unicron's spark is near."
"After you", Arcee said. Megatron walked forward and we all followed.
I heard Bulkhead groaning and I looked behind me. He was holding his head and Arcee and Bee were making sure he was okay.
Bee buzzed and Bulkhead responded.
"Fine, Bee. Just woozy."
"The dark energon. It's starting to affect him", Arcee said getting worried, "steady as you go, Bulk."
Arcee and Bee stayed with Bulkhead as we continued walking.
We heard whirring and Megatron paused for a second before turning around.
"He is preparing to expel us", Megatron said to Optimus.
We saw these bug like things flying around and screeching and we all immediately took a defensive stand.
Bulkhead decided to ask something that would be obvious.
"What are those things?"
"As we are in Unicron's body, it would stand to reason that these are some sort of antibody", Optimus answered.
We all started shooting at them, hitting some of them but missing some of them.
They started shooting at us too and we covered our heads. They reached us and I pulled out my katana's while Optimus transformed his hand into a blade.
We sliced them with Megatron while Arcee, Bulkhead, and Bee shot at them.
Arcee did a flip and shot at one that was coming straight for her but as she was about to land, one of them shot her in the back and she landed on a lower walkway.
Bulkhead started groaning and stumbling. He stopped shooting and smashing them to try to focus.
He ended up falling over the edge, only grabbing on with one hand. I had stopped shooting but saw Bee going to his rescue but I decided to come over and help.
I grabbed Bulkhead's arm while Bee grabbed his hand.
"Luna, Bee, let me go. I'll only take you down with me", he said. I shook my head and tried pulling him up.
I could hear Optimus and Megatron fighting the antibodies and I continued trying to pull Bulkhead up.
Bulkhead started slipping out of Bee's grip along with mine.
I strained trying to keep Bulkhead in my grip he was almost out of Bee's and my grip.
"Just let go!", Bulkhead shouts.
I heard Arcee shout something as well.
We couldn't hold any longer and just when we let go, Optimus grabbed Bulkhead and said, "I got you."
We started running and Arcee got up to our level when we were close to the entrance to Unicron's spark.
We continued fighting them until we got to a closed off room where there was the door that had to be opened.
As we were fighting them, Megatron was fighting something inside his head. Optimus looked at him worried.
"Unicron's spark lies just beyond", Megatron says.
"How do we get inside?", Optimus asked.
"By fooling Unicron's defenses into believing we're not a threat", he answers.
We continue fighting as Megatron opens the door.
"Autobots, I will need you to keep our attackers at bay for as long as you can", Optimus told us.
"Wait Optimus, can I come with?", I ask over my shoulder before he leaves.
He looks at me, and nods. We run into the place where Unicron's spark was and I looked around in awe.
His spark was huge!!
Megatron turned to Optimus. "Optimus, swiftly!"
Optimus was about to open his spark chamber where the matrix of leadership was but was hit by a blast from Unicron's spark. Megatron was hit tok and yet somehow I was protected by a blue energy. I was confused about this until Unicron spoke through Megatron's body.
"What?! A direct descendant of Primus himself? Here?!", he said.
I fainted when I heard that. My dreams did not help either.
I look around the white room. "Where am I?", I say. "You are in a place where no one really knows about." An unknown voice sounds. "It is like a dreamworld but it is not."
"Who are you?", I ask.
"My name is Alpha Trion. You may have heard about me from Optimus Prime", he says as he appears.
"Alpha Trion! Orion's mentor for the Iacon Hall of Records", I say in shock.
"I see Optimus has talked about me", he mused with a smile.
"Yes. Well, only before he became a Prime", I said.
"I know. I will fill you in on events to come. But you cannot tell anyone who you got it from and try not to share too much because you cannot disrupt the future."
I nod and listen carefully to every detail.
"One more thing, you are the last direct descendant of Primus. He was protecting you when Unicron attacked. I blinked at the new information.
"So wait? Who are my parents?", I ask.
"Ask Megatron when you get back, my little Luna", he says as I fade back to consciousness.
"Moon Princess, are you alright?", Megatron asks.
"I am fine. Now, tell me, who are my parents?", I demand.
"Megatronus. Where are we?", Optimus' voice rang out.
Megatron was a little surprised at this and I knew what happened immediately.
"Orion. We are in danger, we must leave", Megatron answers.
I glare at him before attacking him. "Who are my parents?"
"Fine. You wanna know. Your sire is Alpha Trion. I don't know who your carrier is", Megatron growled.
"Moon Princess. What are you doing attacking Megatronus?", Opti- Orion asked as I left Megatron alone.
"We're just messing around", I answered.
Megatron nodded and then the Autobots came rushing in.
"Optimus, are you okay?", Bulkhead asked.
"Why did he call me that?", Orion asked.
"What did you do to him?", Arcee asks.
"Who are they?", Orion asks.
"Our mortal enemies", Megatron said as a ground bridge opens up, "We're outnumbered, go! I'll cover you!"
"Orion!", I call out. He turns to look at me and I know the hurt showed in my eyes as he turns and runs into the ground bridge.
I start trembling and shaking as Megatron fires at my friends and then runs into the closed bridge.
I curl up into a ball as a ground bridge for our base opens. Bulkhead picks me up and carries me into base.
I hear noises but they don't matter to me. The one bot that I actually want to be here is onboard the Decepticon ship.
I was laid down on something and I curled back up into a ball.
I could finally hear their whispers now that I tried to focus on them.
"She's sparkbroken", Sapphire says. She had stayed behind to help Ratchet.
"How do you know that?", Ratchet challenges.
"Because she loves Optimus but since he lost his memories, he doesn't remember that she likes him and she doesn't even know how he feels", Arcee says.
I could feel eyes of sympathy on me but I didn't move. I just stayed there. I tried to speak but couldn't and so I just resolved to shaking while I cried. Don't ask me how I was able to cry because I have no idea.
I felt someone touch my face and so I opened my eyes. It was Sapphire in her human form.
I finally was able to speak but it wasn't coherent.
She just talked to me and calmed me down while the others watched in amazement.
I finall finally was able to sit up but I hadn't stopped shaking. Now I just felt numb.
"Ratchet needs to make sure you don't have any effects from the dark energon", Sapphire says when she had her human disappear.
I nod and let her lead me over to where Ratchet was going to do his check over.
After a few minutes, he said I was good and I was led to my berthroom.
I laid down on the berth and went to sleep.
