Chapter 2

    The sun set over Jasper, Nevada. It had been a long day for both the bots and humans. The kids had been sent home with Ms. Darby, and all but two members of Team Prime had gone to bed. Ratchet was hunched over his desk fiddling with wires, mumbling softly. Optimus entered the room and wished him goodnight. The medic turned away from his previous task for a moment and bid him a pleasant rest with a small smile (a rare sight). But not too rare for Optimus. The blue and crimson mech walked back to his chambers and laid on his breth with a heavy sigh.

Optimus' P.O.V
I closed my optics, so drained from the events that took place today.
~~~
I threw pieces of the wreckage that was once identified as the Autobot base. Scanning every scrap of metal for any proof of life. Ironhide sighed and slowly made his way over to me. "Optimus, we have been searching for...days. The team is completely exhausted."
    "We will keep searching." My optics stayed glued to the floor.
    "Optimus, I know this isn't what you want to hear but, I'm afraid that we are-"
    "Do not finish that sentence," I said through gritted teeth.
    "Optimus! We searched everywhere and couldn't find anything." I turned away and felt coolant ready to fall. I walked away without another word. I strolled through the once lively city. Where boys would come late at night to make conversation and enjoy the small things. I watched my peds pass by the now bombed entertainment center. I could practically still hear bots' laughter. I turned and took a sharp intake. This path is strikingly alive with memories. Elita used to walk down this road to take Bumblebee to the  play center.
    I started to sprint. I knew it was unlikely, but there was a chance that if Bumblebee survived, he would have gone here. I stepped into the pit of fallen ash. The swings were swaying eerily from side to side in the calm breeze. I took a seat on the drakes metal edge of the pit holding the grain, now dusted with ash. I looked over the vast wasteland I used to call home. Not a bot in sight. I put my helm in my servos and felt soft bits of ash settling on my metal plates. The pavement was freezing, having lost its warmth when we ejected over very core into space. A small voice broke the quiet atmosphere.
/Sire can you push me?/ I twisted around to see the little black and yellow boy swinging his peds on the leather seat. I sat shocked, but was able to regain my senses, and push my sparkling on the swing. Bumblebee whirled in happiness. A soft smile made its way onto my face plates. Feeling the utmost relieved that my charge was safe. We enjoyed the moment until Bumblebee hopped off the swing. He ran to me and hugged my legs tight. I smiled down at him and wrapped my servos around his small frame. Bumblebee's crystal blue optics looked up. /Why didn't we do this when I was alive?/ My eyebrows frowned as I was suddenly pulled back into reality.

3rd Person P.O.V
    Optimus jolted up right and shook his helm. He wondered out of his room into the common area, servos rubbing his helm. "Hey boss," Bulkhead greeted him wearily. Optimus was usually one of the first ones awake, but everybody had already gathered in the command center before he had stumbled out.
    "Good morning Bulkhead." He responded quietly.
    Ratchet's brows peaked in confusion. "Is everything alright Optimus?" Optimus' servos fell as he backed away to a nearby wall. He lifted his helm slowly and flashed a quick smile.
    "Yes, thank you Ratchet." Ratchet could tell something was off, but didn't push it further.
    "So why did you call us here Ratchet?" Arced asked.
    "I have located another Iacon beacon. The Decepticons are probably already there.
    "So who's up? Although I think my bolts are still a little sore." Arcee ran her servos over her arms.
    "Seeing as the Decepticons have a greater advantage than before, we will all go. With the exception of Ratchet." Ratchet nodded as the rest of Team Prime transformed into their vehicle modes. "Autobots, roll out." The bots raced out of the base into the swirling vortex. They reappeared on the edge of a forest, rocky ranges in front of them. The tall peaks of minerals looming over them.
~~~
    "Master, we have located the relic."
    "Excellent. Lead me to it." Megatron follows the vechicon with Hornet not far behind. Megatron's optics gleam as he sees the chrome sheen of a blade lodged in the mountain. "The Star Saber." He wrapped his servos around the hilt of the sword and pulled it with incredible strength. But the weapon stayed in place. He then tried to use his ped as leverage by pushing the surrounding rock with it. Didn't budge. Even Hornet gave a valiant effort. But no matter what, it just didn't release itself from the mountain. Megatron's optics widened with realization. "The sword is projecting an impenetrable force field."
    /What do we do?/ Hornet asked looking up at the much taller bot. Megatron thought for a moment before promptly commanding the vechicon troops to ready the blasters on the warship.
    "We take the whole mountain if needed to retrieve this relic!" He shouted in a threatening tone. The warlord put his servos behind his back and eyed the saber. "Do you know the origins of this relic?"
    Hornet nodded briefly before further explaining,/the Star Sabre was used by one of the thirteen original Primes, Prima./
    "So you know that the saber only responds to a Prime?" He asked now facing Hornet. Not giving his soldier time to answer, he said sternly, "this weapon may never fall into the possession of Optimus Prime. Or there will be chaos!" Hornets gears shivered as his master stormed off. The young bot examined the sword until the unique sound of a Groundbridge caused Hornet to whip around.

Smokescreen's P.O.V
I converted back to my bipedal form and took in my surroundings. I spied the relic and ran straight towards it, completely ignoring Arcee yelling at me. Just as I was about to reach it, an unknown body of mass pushed me to the ground. I looked up to see a black and bright yellow bot looking over me sinisterly. /Not so fast Autobot./
"Dude, what's up with your voice?" I watched as the Decepticon's face turned from smug to absolutely pissed. He wrung his servos around my throat. We may not need to breathe, but we carry important wiring there. Wiring that is currently being crushed by the bot on top of me. I tried to speak but only managed to get out a few heavy huffs.
    The Decepticon chuckled, /what's up with your voice? You sound defeated Autobot./ I growled as my servo reshaped into my blaster. I shot his side and he moved his peds instinctively off of mine. My legs free, I kicked his lower abdomen. His back hit the hard rock as I quickly sprang up. I ran to the relic, looking out for any shots coming from the overhead warship. What was strange was that they weren't shooting at me. They were shooting at the relic. Wow these guys have terrible aim. I latched myself onto what seems to be a sword. I tugged at it but it wouldn't move. I kept trying but finally stopped and stepped back.
    "Wow. It's in there really tight!" Blasts dashed by me from the right. The yellow bot charged at me. "Great, you again!" I threw my servos up in annoyance. My arms then rose just in time to block his punches. I stepped to side, making him miss me completely and lose some of his balance. I then pushed him but his servo grabbed my arm and pulled me down with him. We tumbled off a nearby ledge. I had landed with my legs hitting the ground first. While his point of impact was his chest plates. I whined in agony at the burning sensation in my legs. We stayed huffing on the ground for a short while, until he got up, snarling in pain.
    /You are coming with me./ My optics adjusted to the lights as his silhouette loomed over me. He gripped my chest plate and started to drag me. I considered all my possible options. A cave came into view. There's no way I could escape by simply running, not with my legs at a severe disadvantage. I'll have to lose him in the many tunnels the cave possesses. But how to lose his iron grip. It wasn't an elegant solution, but I bit down on his arm. He retracted it immediately, moaning in distress. I made a break for the cave. My legs were in utter torment as I bit down on my tongue to conceal my whimpers. I saw energon blasts bounce off the cave walls. I set my optics on the tunnel in front of me. Not paying anymore mind to the smaller bot's shots. The rocks shook as he raced after me. He fired at my helm but instead hit the rocks above me. They came crashing down directly in front of me. I stopped myself too late and got flung into the rocks. Making the cave tremble. The Decepticon grabbed me harshly, flipped me, and pinned me to the rock wall behind us. He raised his blaster to my spark. /Enough games Autobot. You're mine./
    The cave walls shook and the sound of rocks falling filled out audio processors. "Oh no." My face fell as I realized what was happening. His did too. We looked back at the entrance to see it closing up. He let go of me and we both ran to the opening. Not caring about the rivalry at the moment. The sunlight disappeared as the last of the rocks blocked our only exit. Our optics the only things illuminating the space. We banged on the rocks, trying to loosen them. Which probably did more harm then good. I felt a hard hit to the top of my helm. Rocks rolled down my arms and chest plates. Creating small nicks in my metal outer shell. Some big enough to draw energon. I ducked down and put my arms above me. Providing very little protection for what was about to come. They clunked against my body as I was soon buried. My optics fluttered closed as my systems shut down.

Hey guys! Long time no see. I want to say I'm truly sorry for making you guys wait so long, and making so many fake promises. I have no excuses. I hope you guys at least like this chapter. It's a little shorter than my previous ones and I apologize further for that. As always, feedback is appreciated and I hope you all have a super awesome day!
