Nemesis Prime
A/N I am sorry for skipping Crossfire, I just didn't really know how to put Angel into that episode. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy Nemesis Prime.
Angel's POV
I've been back a while. Not a lot has happened since I've been back. Aside from Starscream setting us up in an attempt to kill us and Megatron at the same time. I was a base though. Airachnid is no longer working for Megatron though and is now rogue. Though she is no friend to the autobots or human kind. She got away, but we are on the look out for her.
Anyway, Optimus as I are at an old energon mine I'd found on my journey back. I smelt some energon still present in the deserted mine. So we decided to investigate it. "Where do you stand now Angel?" Optimus asks as we walk through the mine.
"I don't support Megatron, but if I were to join you autobots. I'd be killed on sight by any con and that'd hurt Soundwave & Laserbeak" I state.
"You still care for them" he states.
"They are my family, we may no longer walk the same path. But I know they'd die for me and I'd do the same for them" I tell him.
"I know it's a sore subject, but can you tell me how your brother died?" he asks me. "I promise it'll remain between the two of us" he assures me.
"Wheeljack killed him" I state and he looks surprised. "One of his grenades bombed the building Ravage and I were in. He'd been trying to convince me to return to the decepticons. The last thing I ever said to him, was that if he returned to them. He would no longer by my brother, but I didn't mean it" I sniffle.
"I'm sure he knows you love him" Optimus assures me.
"Wheeljack pulled me and Ravage out of the wreckage. But Ravage was already dead, I tried to kill Wheeljack. He did nothing to defend himself and I passed out. When I woke he was making a grave for my brother. We buried him together and then Wheeljack left, I never saw him again until he was last here on Earth" I state. "That's our story" I finish.
"I am sorry for your lose Angel. I know my words probably won't help, but. I know Ravage loved you very much and he'd be proud you have continued to live" he tells me.
"I know" I state as I stop. "There" I say nodding to a wall. He starts to dig and finds an energon crystal. "I smell more inside" I tell him.
"Not much, but it would help restock our supply" he states. He tries to call the base, but no one replies. "We must be to far underground" he tells me. "Lets return to base and show them the sample. We can then come back to mine the rest" he states. I agree with him. "Don't worry, what we have spoken about stays between us" he assures me.
(Time skip)
We arrive back at base only for the team to point their weapons at us. And I also see agent Fowler present, scrap. Optimus explained where we were and showed them the energon. "Come on. It's our guy. Can't you tell?" Jack asks them.
"He still has a con with him" Fowler states.
"Angel is no decepticon" Ratchet tells him. "She's a neutral" he adds.
"She still attacked a military base and helped steal government property. As well as injured US soldiers" Fowler states.
"We can discuss me later, I want to know why you all decided to point your weapons at us" I state looking at the others.
"I was attacked earlier tonight out on the open highway by a big rig, one that bore a striking resemblance to you" Fowler states looking up at Optimus.
"That's not possible, right?" I ask the autobots. "I mean Makeshift is gone and no one else can change form to look like someone else" I state.
"This is troubling" Optimus states. Just then agent Fowler gets a call from the military. A military base is being attacked by fake Optimus again. But this time in bot form. Optimus and the others rolled out to fight him.
"Don't think I've forgotten about you feline, we'll deal with you later" Fowler tells me.
"Yeah, good luck with that" I tell him and jump into my spot.
(Time skip)
The others failed to capture the fake Prime and returned to base. Fowler got a call from his superiors. It didn't sound like things were going well. Soon he hanged up and looked at us. "So, what's the damage?" Jack asks him.
"All military personnel are under strict orders to destroy any and all 'Bots on sight" Fowler states.
"Are you kidding?" Jack demands.
"But, they're innocent!" Raf shouts.
"Optimus was framed" Miko adds.
"Though unfortunate, the military order changes nothing. Our imposter clearly poses a grave threat to humanity" Optimus states.
"A 30-foot-tall transforming imposter" Fowler adds.
"They actually did it. Those butchers managed to crack the code" Ratchet states.
"M. E. C. H" Optimus sneers.
"OK, we know who. But how do we stop them? And how did they even make a transformer?" I ask them.
"M. E. C. H abducted Breakdown and by all indications, deconstructed him from cranial chamber to heel strut" Ratchet states.
"I was there" Bulkhead adds.
"And we know that, more recently, they obtained Starscream's T-cog" Optimus states.
"Starscream is grounded? Sweet" I say smirking. I'd love to give him a beating. He never treated anyone with below him with respect.
"Which they evidently installed in a knockoff of you" Arcee states gesturing to Optimus.
"Which, in turn, scanned an appropriate vehicle form" Ratchet adds.
"Fill the tank with Energon" Jack says.
"And say hello to Nemesis Prime" Miko says.
"Not a bad name choice" I tell her and she smiles. "So how do we find M. E. C. H and this Nemesis Prime?" I ask the others.
"M. E. C. Hs base could be anywhere" Fowler states.
"Not necessarily. While M. E. C. H. may have learned much of our biology" Optimus tells him.
"They haven't necessarily absorbed our technology" Ratchet adds. "Without access to a ground bridge, Nemesis Prime would rely solely on its vehicle mode for transportation" he states. Bringing up a map of both locations Nemesis Prime had shown up.
"Chances are the M. E. C. H. base is within driving distance of both incidents" Arcee states.
"I agree" I add.
"What are we waiting for? Let's get out there and smash M. E. C. H's little science project" Agent Fowler states.
"Agent Fowler, I do not think it advisable to put yourself in harm's way of M. E. C. H's robot again" Optimus tells him.
"Well, I'm not sure it's advisable for 'Bots to be running recon with the military out there gunning for you" Fowler snaps.
"I could go" I offer as I jump down. "I could go as a puma, M. E. C. H wouldn't suspect a mini-con" I state.
"Ha, you admit you're a con" Fowler states and I scowl.
"Mini-con is a subspecies of Cybertronian" Ratchet corrects him. "Like dinobots, they are neither autobot or decepticon. Until they choose someone to bond with or choose a side. Angel here is neutral, though she would never willingly join the decepticons. She had to pretend to protect herself" he states.
"Besides she's known the location of our base for years, had she really been a con. She would of told them our location long ago" Arcee adds. I give them both a thankful look.
"You are not going after M. E. C. H alone Angel" Optimus tells me. "You have no weapons and could easily be hurt or captured by them" he states. He looks at Agent Fowler. "We will maintain vehicular cover until absolutely necessary" he assures him. He and the other three left. Leaving me at base with Ratchet and the humans. Honestly, I'd be more helping tracking Nemesis Prime. But no, Fowler doesn't trust me and Optimus thinks I can't handle myself against a puppet. I don't care about what Fowler thinks of me, but I thought Optimus had more faith in me then that.
(Mini time skip)
Bulkhead, Optimus and Arcee didn't find anything. But Bumblebee has found what looks to be an abandoned military base. Which would be a perfect base for M. E. C. H. "Bumblebee, proceed with utmost caution. Reconnaissance only. We will rendezvous at your coordinates" Optimus tells him. Ratchet sent him and the other two Bee's coordinates.
"Let me help Optimus" I beg.
"You will be back up" he tells me and I sigh in defeat sitting on my hunches.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get to kick some M. E. C. H butt" Miko tells me.
"I just don't want to lose anyone else I care about Miko" I tell her. "I already lost my brother and have been separated from my family because of this war. I won't lose anyone else" I state. Not long after Bumblebee and the others engage in battle with Nemesis Prime. Ratchet was able to find the location of where the remote signal was coming from.
"Then reopen that bridge" Fowler tells Ratchet.
"Agent Fowler, did you not hear Optimus advise against your involvement? It's for your own safety" Ratchet tells him.
"Look, doc, I don't plan on dancing with any 'Bots, but there's a human element in play here, and in case you haven't noticed, I happen to be a highly trained, government-grade human" Fowler tells him.
"Yeah. Plus, Silas tried to run him off the road. It's personal" Miko adds.
"I'll watch his back" I state as I activate my holo-disguise. "M. E. C. H won't stand a chance" I sneer. Fowler didn't look happy about my involvement, but didn't object as Ratchet activated the bridge for us. I ran through first and knocked out the surprised guards. "Clear" I say and Fowler appears.
Ratchet sent me the coordinates of the remote frequency. I lead Fowler to it. I must admit, we actually worked well together infiltrating the building, knocking out whatever guards we came across. Silently and quickly. We eventually found the control room, where Silas himself was controling Nemesis Prime.
I stuck in the shadows silently taking out the guards. As Fowler approached Silas. Who was ranting to Optimus about how superior his robot is to a true cybertronian. "Think again, Si" Fowler tells him as I stuck to the shadows.
"Agent Fowler in the flesh at last" Silas says as he faces him.
"And I'm pulling the plug on your video game" Fowler tells him. They begin to fight and I start to destroy the control chair silently. Fowler was losing his fight, but he didn't need to win. "I may be out of shape, but I don't need to bust you up. I just need to buy Prime and the feline a little time" he tells Silas.
Who notices me at last as I tear out another wire. He also sees Optimus on screen beating the shit out of his robot. "No!" he shouts and draws a gun. Firing at me. I dodge and disappear into the shadows as he tries to retake control of his robot. Only to be crashed by it as Optmis beat it.
I stand by Agent Fowler as we look up at Optimus in the hole of the ceiling. Where Nemesis Prime had fallen through and squashed Silas. The remaining M. E. C. H agents had escaped. But at least Nemesis Prime and Silas are gone.
Or so we thought. Apparently the military didn't find Silas's body at the base. So there is a chance he is still alive. But that's a problem for another day. Right now Fowler had to prove to his surperiors that Optimus, the other autobots and myself are not a threat to humanity.
