Optimus was here.

Optimus was here.

Everything had changed. For the first time in two years, the weight of leadership was off of Jazz. For the first time in two years, there was direction, unified purpose again. Prime was here. Everything would work out. They'd kick Megatron up and down the streets -- they'd take the Transtechs by surprise. They would get home.

Just as he'd promised Jazz.

He almost didn't notice his surroundings. He almost ran into Ratchet before pulling back to a safer distance. No one could blame him for his eagerness. After what had happened in the Nexus, no one should.

After a moment, he opened up a channel with Ratchet. :: Almost there. keep alert. This is a bad area. ::

Ratchet jolted clear of a direct collision with a short and rather curt flick of his lights, and then fell in behind Ironhide. As much as he wanted to barrel over the increasingly uneven terrain of scrap and crumbling buildings, he resolutely followed his companion down through the levels. Mostly, what kept his place at the black truck’s rear axle and his speed in check were the difficulties inherent in leading the way if you are unaware of where you are going.

:: I can see that, Ironhide. Hnn. A rather blatantly aggressive move, that he is all the way down here as opposed to outside processing like anyone else. ::So the Hummer wove around obstacles behind the larger mech, with a sizable portion of his processors on what they would find when they finally located Optimus. As mangled as their Prime had seemed over the commlink, anything could happen before they reached him. Even then, Ratchet had his own repair supplies and cache of redundant systems, but there was always the concern he might not have enough to adequately ( ... )

It hadn't seemed long before eventually there came a sound like a familiar set of engines roaring off in the distance, and it may as well have been cannon fire against the natural hum of dying machinery and rubble shifting in the breeze of the area. Optimus took notice of it in an instant, first listening in intently as the sound grew nearer, then tilting his gaze to confirm visually. Even when he spotted the dark Topkick and his brighter companion, he did not move, did not make an immediate attempt to draw their attention to him.

Ironhide. If he had had any doubts before that his friend was here, they were put to rest now, for the most part. Ironhide should have been dead, terminated by a double blast to the chest from Sentinel Prime's rust cannon. What was touched by that weapon did not often survive, and what of it did remain intact was unrecognizable. So had been the remains of his friend when last Optimus had seen him, but no. Here he was now, moving down the way with a purpose, seemingly alive and well ( ... )

:: Not really. They shove all the Primes down here. Happened to the younger one, and the alternate. :: It had happened to others, too. But the multiple Optimus Primes had always been the ones he'd taken the most notice of. And, every time, they'd ended up down here. Away from all the others. They were being hidden, obviously. Their arrivals going unregistered for as long as possible. And why not? Primes were, apparently, illegal here ( ... )
