Transformers Prime: The Decepticon Human's Return

Chapter 4 United

Optimus POV
After that one meeting we had with the Decepticons, they all decided to let us on board the Nemesis to continue figuring out M.E.C.H. 's plan and where they would keep Enigma. I know it was a long stretch if Enigma was still alive, but when Megatron briefed all the other Decepticons, they tripled their work load and have been working non-stop to make any progress. They also all apologized for attacking me in the past, but I couldn't blame them for their motives and forgave them.

While at first I was against the idea, the children wished to be working along with the Decepticons to help find where Enigma was. Whether she was alive or not was the true worry, but there was still hope, but I had faith in her and all the others did as well.

So far, the pairing has been me and Megatron have combined each of our bots so they could get used to working together. Me and Megatron would be the leaders, as usual. Ratchet would be in the infirmary helping Knockout and Breakdown with patients. Arcee and Jack would help on scouting missions with Starscream and other chosen soldiers. Bulkhead, Miko, and Wheeljack would be helping train the Vehicons and other soldiers, as well as train Bumblebee and our new recruit, and Rafael would be helping Soundwave with figuring out the code. While Bumblebee didn't like being separated from his charge, he was happy to help another rookie with training and honing their skill.

The rookie, Smokescreen, was recently found and was determined to stop all Decepticons, however after learning of our alliance he was disappointed, but still offered to help. He was a determined bot and I could see he wanted to learn more. He even asked about Enigma to me and the others in the Decepticons range, but I didn't expect their reaction or what would follow after that explanation.

Flashback
"That was the third location that had a signal, still nothing." Arcee said and I sighed at the lack of results we were getting. We have been working for a few weeks now and there have been some fights between Autobot and Decepticon, but they have put that aside to help a common cause.

We were in the main bridge, along with Megatron, Starscream, Arcee, Jack, Rafael, Soundwave, and his symbiotes all working on the code. Jack was on Arcee's shoulder, listening to our conversation, while discussing our next objective. Starscream then started to say, "There are still many other signals out there. We should continue before daylight ends."

Once we started working together, I realized how determined the Decepticons were to find where Enigma was. Some of them even ended up in the infirmary since they would work so hard. Megatron then went to Starscream and put a servo on his shoulder and said, "Starscream, I know how determined you are to find Enigma, but pushing yourself into shutdown isn't the right way. When was the last time you had energon or even a break, along with Thundercracker and Skywarp?"

He asked and Starscream looked down, knowing he was right, but I was amazed by how calm and collective Megatron was. He had changed so much and was focusing on his soldiers' health as well as their well-being.

Starscream sighed and said, "Fine, but let me finish this report and I'll go get some recharge in." Megatron nodded at Starscream and he left the bridge, with almost all of us looking at Megatron, shocked.

"What?" Megatron said.

"He may be the most stubborn Decepticon, but he knows that once we get her back, she will be giving him lectures about his health."

I nodded, a smile ghosted on my faceplate at how much of a lecture all the Decepticons would get. While I still had doubts about her survival, but I kept them to myself so as to not worry about any of them. I also got to know more and more about Enigma from the other Decepticons and Megatron and it only confirmed what I had originally thought of her.
