Transformers Prime:Disavowed

Chapter 3

Jack and Arcee quickly closed their conversation to the sound of footsteps as Silas re-entered the room.

"Soo...do we have an agreement?"He asked from the above platform.

"The decision is not ours to make..it's Optimus's..the rest of the team needs to be here"Answered Arcee.

"Of course they do..I didn't expect you to take down Megatron single handed..your welcome to the use of our communication systems..their crypted..no one can trace you here..call everyone up..gather your team..I look forward to meeting them all"

Silas said as he left again.

The doors to the hanger opened as the convoy made up by Team Prime,led by Optimus entered as June quickly steped out,rushing over to Jack as they hugged eachother as Optimus and the others all transformed,joining beside Arcee

"Where's Miko?..Where's Raf?" Jack asked looking around.

"Safe"June responded"And I'm glad you are too"She said as she hugged him again.

"Bumblebee..Escort June and Jack to safety"

Optimus said as Bumblebee transformed back into his vehicle mode with June quickly getting in as Arcee walked up to Jack,kneeling down infront of him.

"Be careful"Said both of them unison as they exchanged smiles,and with a quick blast from Bumblebee's horn,urged Jack to get in too as they exited the building as the rest turned their attention to Silas as he steped forward.

"Optimus Prime..It's a pleasure to finelly meet you..face to face".

"I wish I could say the same Silas".

"I trust Arcee has told you of my proposal?".

"She Has".

"And what is your answer?".

"We do not trust you".

"I would think you were stupid if you did..M.E.C.H so happens doesn't trust you either..you're aliens..you don't belong on our world..and under other circumstances we wouldn't rest till we expelled you".

"Then why seek out our help?".

"Because we can both gain something from this alliance,plus you don't know Megatrons next move..but I do.

Of course i'll give you more time to decide but as I told Arcee,you really dont have a choice..your on the run,wanted by the same people you sworn your very lives to protect and I know your out of options..just as you know it Optimus Prime".

"How do you expect us to accompish something we haven't been able to do in a Millenia?".

"Oh I think you had your chances Prime,many of times..you just haven't wanted to see it through".

"It is not our way,not the Autobot way".

"Then you better make it your way Prime..or you can stay on the run forever..it's your choice".

Optimus looked around to all the others before turning back to Silas"We will agree under one condition...you're there to oversee".

"Of course..wouldn't miss it for the world..as we say here on earth..we will be simply protecting our investment".

"Can we talk this over among ourselves?"Optimus asked

"But of course..take all the time in the world"Silas said as he left the room once again.

...

"Optimus with all due respect I don't like this"Arcee said as she began to speak.

"I mean it's bad enough us working with M.E.C.H,but to have them shadow us..that would give them plenty of chances to ambush us when were not looking..what can we possibly gain by that".

"Arcee,I don't like this any better than you do..but we need to prove our innocence..and you know as well as I do that M.E.C.H won't allow themselves to surrender when this is all over..so we need to bring them out in the open..so they can be exposed"

"But you are right though Arcee..they can not be trusted..so we need to be on extra guard..plus something doesn't seem right about this whole alliance and if whatever M.E.C.H had planned poses a threat to human kind we must do everything in our power to stop them,no matter the outcome".

"Silas!..We have an agreement!"Optimus yelled as Silas entered.

"Excellent..Excellent".

"Now tell me Megatrons plans!".

"Very well..Megatron intends to attack the same military base..seems that you interruped him from finishing his work last time".

"What is he there to steal Silas?".

"Not steal Prime..To copy..seems that's where the military stores all of their highly classifed expermental aircraft,mainly stealth ones..which megatron intends to let his troops copy them".

"If Megatron allows his soldiers to scan stealth aircraft there will be no way the military can detect them coming".

"Thats precisely why you must stop him Prime"

"And how were you a pawn in all this Silas?".

"Simple...Megatron promised the aircraft to us..one they were scanned..went along perfect till he double-crossed us".

"Silas..Energon on the move..matching Depecticon signature"Said a soldier from a computer in the back.

"Ahhh..looks like Megatron is ahead of schedule..you better hurry Optimus".

"Autobots!..Prepare to Roll Out!".

Silas waited till the hanger was empty before turning to the soldier behind him.

"Ready the Helicopters!"

...

A massive steel door buckled ,then broke under the force of Breakdowns hammer as Megatron steped forward ripping it off its hinges.

"Knock..Knock..anyone home?"

Knockout said as all three steped inside the hanger,laying their eyes apon a black mysterious aircraft as Megatrons voice echoed all the walls.

"Ahhh..Yes..perfect..this should give just the edge our warriors need..Knockout..would you...?".

"Ummm..I'm sorry Lord Megatron but I prefer wheels..not wings".

"I meant would you alert the war ship that we're ready for pick-up you idiot!".

"Sorry..Forgive me Lord Megatron..it will be done".

They all turned their attention behind them as to the sound of Energon cannons charging up."

Megatron!...Stand down!"

"Optimus!..I figured you would be dismantled in a human scrapyard by now..waiting to be melted down into automobile parts".

"A recent change of events have premitted that outcome Megatron..I'll say again..Surrender!".

Optimus's words was put to a end as Vehicons desended,as they transformed,surronding them from all sides.

"Ahhh..Back-up has arrived..Lord Megatron"Knock-Out stated,followed by a scream from Megatron.

"Engage Them!"

...

Meanwhile on the other side of the base,another hanger was being broke into as couple of soldiers were using a plasma cutter on the steel doors.

"Work quickly..while the base's attention is drawn elsewhere"

Silas said as he stood back overseeing the operation as the soldiers slowly cutted through.

"Whats taking so Long".

"Sorry Sir..this metal is thick".

"Were running out of time!".

"Correction..you have ran out of time"Came a voice behind them as they turned around hearing the sounds of rifles cocking.

"Agent William Fowler..I've believe we spoken before...Take their weapons".

"Agent Fowler..if your taking these weapons..you might as well take the others too"

Silas said as he and the M.E.C.H soldiers took cover as a helicopter decended scrafeing the ground with machine gun fire.

Silas and two soldiers made a leap grabing onto the rope ladder that hung from the helicopter as they flew away leaving Fowler gazing into the distant.

"Till next time M.E.C.H!"

...

Optimus and Arcee were busy engaging Vehicons as Bulkhead and Breakdown were locked one on one in a duel.

With a last couple blast from their Energon cannons and a few more swings with Arcee's blades,they finished off the Vehicons as Bulkhead knocked Breakdown down with a mighty swing from his mace.

"You just can't find good help these days"Knock-Out said before ramming his Shock Staff into Bulkhead's spine as he droped to the ground unconscious.

"Knock-Out..secure the package for pick-up"

Megatron said as he walked casually toward their Groundbridge as Arcee transformed racing after him.

"Arcee!..No!"

Optimus yelled as he watched her transform back as she leaped up,her blasters blazing only to have Megatron reach out and grab her with his left hand as she struggled to get free.

"Megatron..release her!".

"As you command Optimus"

Arcee gasped as Megatron drew his sword,slicing open her abomin as she droped to her knees on the ground with a pool of Energon collecting beneath her.

"Arcee!".

"Looks like you have a choice Optimus..pursue me..or save a member of your team"

Optimus with-drew his cannon and sword as he leaned down,picking Arcee up.

"Thats what I thought..So Noble of you Optimus"

Megatron said before turning around,walking into his Groundbridge.

...

Arcee woke up in a daze as she looked around before leaning up only to have Ratchets hand press on her shoulder,pushing her back down to the exam bed.

"Oh no you don't..you lost a lot of Energon..you need rest".

"Ratchet?...Where are we?"She asked.

"Back at base".

"How did we get back here?...and when did you get here?".

"Long story..which will have to wait..you need to enter power-down mode".

"I'm fine Ratchet"She stated as she sat up on the edge of the bed,holding her side.

"What good does it do you having a physician if you don't follow through on my advice".

"Fine..I'll lay back down Ratchet but that's all I'm doing".

"Arcee!..Are you ok?"Jack yelled as he came running into the medical bay as he climbed up onto her exam bed followed by everyone else as they came in.

Arcee quickly grabed his shirt collar,pulling him down as she kissed him deeply,surprising him

"Mmmm...owed you one"She said as they both exchanged smiles before realizing they were being watched as they turned to look at everyone gathered in the room.

"Ummm I can explain"Jack said looking mainly to his Mom.

"Totally didn't see that one coming"Miko whispered,as she leaned down,nudging Raf on the shoulder.

Ratchet motioned,quieting everyone down as the news came on making them all turn to the large display screen.

"The case concerning the attack on the Nevada military base came to a close today as the real story of who was behind it was revealed.

A press confernce held on site,led by Agent William Fowler answered questions and explained what the true nature of the attack was.

Seems that a terrorist group known as M.E.C.H were responsible after they tried to steal several aircraft prototypes which one was destoryed during the firefight.

They used attack helicopters and gunships as well as ground forces,led my soldiers in robotic-suits,which explains eye-witness reports of giant robotic lifeforms.

But despite the military's best defence efforts a large number of the terrorist's and their leader escaped.

Also,the four civilians that were wanted for questioning were just merely eye-witness's that got a little to close to the action...They were released this morning after being sworn to secrecy by the government.

We can finely put this one to rest today by answering what is on everyone's minds right now that once again,we are alone in this universe.

...

"They have no idea how wrong they are"

Jack said as he layed with Arcee on the exam bed as they both exchanged smiles with eachother as everyone turning their attention back to them.

"I believe you were in the middle of explaining something young man"June said crossing her arms

"Ok...Mom..this might take a while".

"Good thing I have all day"June said as she took a seat.

Jack was about to speak as everyone heard the elevator desending as Agent Fowler steped out with Jack sighing in relief.

"I see you all been watching my performance...I sure did one heck of a job..I could be an actor"

Fowler said proud of himself as he watched the news before turning to everyone else.

"Prime..I'm happy to report that the President has issued full pardons to you and your team and Jack's,June's,Miko's and Raf's slates have been wiped clean,I'll be surprised if any one you finds even a speeding ticket on them".

"Is there any chance my school records were wiped clean to?"Miko asked as she raised her hand.

"The President just wishes he were here in person to tell you how sorry he was for this whole mix-up".

"Your country acted normal under the giving threat Agent Fowler..we proved our innocence but we understood what actions were taken,and we wouldn't expect any less if the same situlation would happen again"

Tell your President,we are all honored to be his allies".

"So Young Man..."June began again.

"Opps..can't talk now Mom..don't want to be late for my shift for work"Jack said lying leaving June turning to Arcee.

"Ummm..Hang on Jack...I'll drive you"

She said transforming as Jack quickly put on his helmet as he got on her,driving thru the exit tunnel,going through the enterance,turning onto the highway.

"So Ratchet..you havent told us where you have been these couple weeks"Optimus stated as Ratchet turned away from his computer to face them.

"I...I've been parked in a hospital garage for two weeks"Ratchet said turning back away as Miko laughed quietly.

"Its not funny Miko..I've seen countless of Humans arrive,most of them badly hurt..and I could only sit and do nothing!"Ratched yelled as he slamed his fist onto his workstation making everyone jump.

"Hey Doc..take it easy"Bulkhead said as he reached out grabing his arm.

"I'm fine Bulkhead"Ratchet responded in a calmer tone as she turned around to face everyone.

"Nurse Darby...Along side Optimus...you have my up most respect...seeing and doing what you do everyday is an amazement by itself".

"I'm just a nurse Ratchet...It's the Doctors that do the most work"June said as she smiled up to him as he looked down returning it.

...

"Phew..that was a close one"

"Where to Jack..because I know you don't have to work today".

"Just drive around till it gets dark..I'm sure Mom will be asleep by then".

"We can't avoid her forever Jack"

"I know..but we can delay it as long as possible..Are you ok?"

"I'm fine Babe..But I think Ratchet is going to have me straped to the bed when I get back to base to make me rest".

"Maybe I can talk him into straping me down with you"Jack said with a grin.

"Mmmm...You don't have to strap me down to stay in bed with you"

Arcee responded back,boosting power to her rear drive as they speeded down the highway toward the setting sun.
