In Between (Megatron X OC X Optimus) (S1)

Darkness Rising Part 5(1)

Ratchet's Perspective(still)

                         Optimus continues talking to his friend "Before you say sorry, as I know you will, It is alright. Megatron keeps things for reasons. Now, come over to the group." He stands up and takes ShiverTooth's servo. With his other servo, Shivers grasps Optimus's arm so he had better guidence. As they walk over, Optimus stops him before stepping again for some reason. "A little more forward, ShiverTooth, you don't want to trip on Ratchet's equipment." I look down to see that it was one of my tools. Right.... Sorry Shivers. Forgot to clean that up. But good job on Optimus for helping you avoid it. ShiverTooth does infact step over the tool and continues walking.

                    I watch Bee pull an empty storage unit over. "=<ShiverTooth can sit on this.>=" He beeps. "Wow, such a gentlemech, BumbleBee." Rafael compliments. Bee nods. Optimus helps ShiverTooth up as he was still partially blind. "Do not move." He says. I look back at the scanner and start scanning around for Megatron's spacebridge. I then locate it. I report "Optimus, I've pin-pointed the location of Megatron's spcae bridge-- High, in earth's orbit." Optimus steps over to me "Out of our reach." He finishes. Miko asks "Okay, so you guys don't fly. But couldn't you just groundbridge there?" I grunt "The groundbridge has limited range; stretched all the way into orbit, its vortex could snap and scatter us to the stars..." Optimus goes against me "Since Megatron is likely already in transit, I'm afraid we must take that risk. Reaching the space bridge first, is our only means of stopping him." 

                  We all hear a horn beep and we look into the hallway to see Arcee with Jack. "Hey, guess who's back." Jack calls out. Optimus ignores him "Autobots prepare for departure." "Where to?" Arcee questions. Miko answers "The final frontier." Jack gasps "Space? I-I thought they didn't hae any way of getting there..."

                       BumbleBee sets Raf down and Raf says "They don't.... really." I walk over and ready the groundbridge. "Be seeing you?" Jack asks. I'm guessing he was talking to Arcee. "Be careful, Bee..." Raf says. Bee whirs back "=<You too, Raf.>=" Miko calls out "I'm so jealous!!" Bulkhead stops her "Don't even think about following me."

                    I look over to Optimus and growl "Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teeming with humans, I will never  forgive you..." "Until we meet again old friend." He tells me before kneeling down to Shivers and bringing his helm to face his. "Be safe, ShiverTooth. And await my return." He nods and pushes his helm into Optimus' servo. I smile and Optimus walks away from him, activating his mask. "Autobots, roll out!!!" He says before everyone transforms, and leaves. I close the groundbridge turn back to the screens and open the com link to talk to Optimus and team if they need me.
